WEBVTT 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.639 Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.660 designed to uplift and strengthen you in your 00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.939 walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:31.429 right in. that as the teaching of God's word 00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:35.149 is going, you can receive healing? Do you know 00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:38.170 that as the teaching of God's word is going, 00:00:38.369 --> 00:00:44.289 you can receive a word for someone and the person 00:00:44.289 --> 00:00:47.990 will receive because of you? Do you know that 00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:52.310 there can be walkings of miracles as the teaching 00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:56.829 of God's word is going? So when you come to church, 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.420 and the word of God is being taught, expect miracles. 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.599 When you come to church and the scripture is 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.640 being explained, expect healing. So it's not 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.400 until when we call you out, there is a time for 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.659 that and there's a season for that and we will 00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:16.859 do that. But when the word of God is being taught, 00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:26.140 regularly expect healing. Expect healing. Because 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:30.180 the scripture says it is the power of God. Scripture 00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:33.560 is the power of God. So as we teach in this church 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.159 regularly, when pastors are teaching, do pay 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.659 attention that you can receive healing. You can 00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:45.099 receive miraculous working in your life. Your 00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:49.620 faith is set up for someone to receive as pastors 00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:56.180 are teaching. So this morning, We'll be teaching 00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:02.859 on the power gifts, right? The power gifts, which 00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:07.879 we started from catatismus. And we said we'll 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.960 continue to build on it as we come to church. 00:02:11.139 --> 00:02:14.060 We'll continue to build on it as we come to church. 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:20.360 You see, when you come to a church like this, 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.789 right, you need to be... You need to pay attention 00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:27.409 to everything that is taking place, right? You 00:02:27.409 --> 00:02:29.669 need to pay attention. When I mean paying attention, 00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:32.949 whether you're in the cell meeting, whether you're 00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:35.349 in church, whether you're in training center, 00:02:35.689 --> 00:02:37.530 whatever you are, you need to, you know why? 00:02:37.689 --> 00:02:42.150 Because what we are teaching, right, are lines, 00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:45.689 are layers upon each other that helps you to 00:02:45.689 --> 00:02:49.280 grow. That is why I insisted that the entire 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.240 chapter of 1 Corinthians 12 be read. Right? Who 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:02.319 knows why? Who can explain why? Why I insisted 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.180 after explaining that everything is connected. 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:11.439 Because what we reviewed in cell meeting, some 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.479 of those scriptures are from here. Right? Some 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.759 of us didn't read the book and we didn't do the 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.560 review. You see, to grow, you need wholesome 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.199 teaching. Wholesome teaching comes from every 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:33.240 meeting that the church puts in place. So in 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.599 the cell meeting, you see that we touch on ministry 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.659 gifts there, which I believe pastors will come 00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:40.800 and teach much more about it, right? And that 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.060 is in the same chapter, right? We have that in 00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:45.960 the same chapter, in chapter 12. So it means 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.520 that while you are learning the gift of the Spirit, 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.439 the ministry gifts are also being taught. We 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.680 read it in the book and it's being taught in 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.360 Selmite and will be taught. So by the time you 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.159 are done, you are ready for ministry. To minister 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.500 the gift of the Spirit and to understand these 00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:08.840 offices and the ministry gifts. Do we get it? 00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:14.699 So by that you would understand and grow. Hallelujah. 00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:17.680 So let's be paying attention to whatever is being 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.540 done. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 1 to 31 is already 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.399 read. It's already explained, read actually. 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.860 So 1 Corinthians 12, verse 1 to 31. Now a quick 00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:34.879 revision, right? We're going to quickly do a 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.000 quick recap of what we did in Karatismos because 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.060 some of us were not here for that meeting. And 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:44.399 we talked about that the spiritual gifts, What 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.139 we call the spiritual gifts, they are divided 00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:51.879 into their operations. Their operations of the 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.620 spiritual gifts are divided into how many? The 00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:02.959 operations of the gifts of the spirits is divided 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.300 into how many? How many? Three. Okay, what is 00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:13.899 the first one? What is the first one? The second 00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:19.439 one, you can chorus it. The second one, revelation, 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.779 right? Ultron's revelation. And what's the last 00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:27.279 one? The power gifts, right? The power gifts. 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.279 The power gifts. And we can see that in verse, 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:38.319 we can see that from verse 9. So 1 Corinthians 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:47.550 12, verse 9. He said, to another, faith by the 00:05:47.550 --> 00:05:53.329 same Spirit. To another, the gift of healing 00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:58.209 by the same Spirit. Verse 10. To another, the 00:05:58.209 --> 00:06:04.089 workings of miracles. Right? The workings of 00:06:04.089 --> 00:06:07.629 miracles. So these, these three are the power 00:06:07.629 --> 00:06:10.329 gifts. So if you're in that meeting, you should 00:06:10.329 --> 00:06:15.899 write it down. That the power gifts are... In 00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:20.959 1 Corinthians 12, verse 9 to 10. To another faith 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.779 by the same Spirit, to another gift of healing 00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:26.220 by the same Spirit, to another the workings of 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:30.319 miracles. So these are the three things that 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.709 we want to consider today. Of course, we know 00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:36.970 diuresis, right? Diuresis is diversity. Means 00:06:36.970 --> 00:06:39.769 that there are diversities of operations. So 00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.269 why do we have these three? Where did we come 00:06:42.269 --> 00:06:45.730 from to arrive at Ultron's revelation and power 00:06:45.730 --> 00:06:49.850 gifts? Go to that same scripture, verse six. 00:06:51.970 --> 00:06:56.350 Verse six. It says, and there are diversities 00:06:56.350 --> 00:07:01.029 of what? Operations. But it is the same God. 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:10.040 Who worketh in all. Diversities of what? Operations. 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.220 So it means that the things of the spirit, they 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:17.120 are ways by which they operate. It means working 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.899 out. Right? The word diversity is diuresis. And 00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:25.839 the word operation is energema. I think we talked 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:31.790 about that. Energema. E -N -E -R. G -E -M -A. 00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:37.790 Diuresis and edema, which is diversity of operation. 00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:43.750 E -N -E -R -G -E -M -A. It's it from this word, 00:07:43.829 --> 00:07:47.649 operation. Another word you can use for it is 00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:59.449 workings. Workings. You can put it active working. 00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:06.899 Actively working. Actively working. So it therefore 00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:10.500 means that energy, ma 'am, right, will refer 00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:16.939 to actions. Actions that take place for us to 00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:21.879 know what is at work. So there are actions that 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.300 takes place. There are actions that takes place. 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.060 And it is from this word that we have these three 00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:33.059 explanations, that we see that there's utterance 00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:37.360 gifts, there's revelation gifts, and there's 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.559 power gifts. So it is from this word, operations, 00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.840 that we have these three explanations. And but 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.220 Scott Steen has taught us, taken us through utterance 00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:50.980 in Karatismos. Now, what are power gifts? Write 00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:59.460 down. What are power gifts? What are power gifts? 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.139 You can write this down. God, through His Spirit. 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:17.820 God, through His Spirit. In us. God, through 00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:27.159 His Spirit in us. Can intervene. God, through 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:32.980 His Spirit in us. He can intervene in the physical 00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:39.600 affairs of men. God's true spirit in us, the 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.139 believer. That tells you that person is a believer. 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.179 It tells you that person has the spirit of Christ. 00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:48.779 Can intervene in the physical affairs of men. 00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:54.279 That takes place on earth. The physical affairs 00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:00.279 of men that takes place on earth. So, while we 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:05.220 can give revelation and we can tell you God's 00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:10.159 direction for your life, right? You might say, 00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:13.860 oh, this one, Pastor knew it by the Spirit and 00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.299 he has informed me and I grew. While we can pray 00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:20.259 in tongues, right? And we can give interpretation 00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:26.320 and we can give prophecy. And in your life, You 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.259 are working out that prophecy that you have received 00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:30.840 according to the instructions of God. Right? 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.120 So you're working that out. As you have received 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.759 the prophecy, you are working in the prophecy 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.799 that has been said regarding you. Revelation, 00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:38.299 you received the word of reason, word of knowledge. 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:44.220 There are gifts that is physically seen on the 00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:50.759 spot. And that is power gifts. So, we can say 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.460 that it means that natural principle will give 00:10:54.460 --> 00:11:00.200 way. to the divine power of God. Natural principles, 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.580 it will clear a way for the divine power of God 00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:08.120 to have its course. Natural principles will give 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.200 way for the divine power of God to have its course. 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.120 Natural principles will give way for the divine 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:27.580 power of God to have its course. This is power 00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:30.220 gift. This is how power gift function. So it 00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:35.399 does not function in a way that you have to wait. 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:40.000 You see it on the spot. When someone has faith 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.580 for another person to receive, which we are going 00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:45.159 to teach, the person receives. When they lay 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.440 hands on you, healing takes place. Because the 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.919 scripture established that these are the things 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.279 that are found in the spirit. There's the miraculous. 00:11:56.460 --> 00:12:00.740 There's the miraculous. Genesis 18, verse 1 to 00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:07.720 8. Genesis 18, verse 1 to 8. Let's see. We say 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.580 the natural will give way for the supernatural, 00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:14.399 for the divine power of God to have its full 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:23.759 course. This is power. I'll read from verse 1. 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.080 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.539 of memory, and sat in the tent in the heat of 00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:33.419 the day, and lifted up his eyes and looked, and 00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:36.899 lo, three men stood by him. When he saw them, 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.659 he ran to meet them from the tent of the door 00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:42.860 and bowed down towards the ground, and said, 00:12:43.289 --> 00:12:45.190 My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, 00:12:45.250 --> 00:12:47.230 pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. 00:12:47.429 --> 00:12:49.889 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and 00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:52.710 wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the 00:12:52.710 --> 00:12:55.110 tree. And I will fetch a mussel of bread, and 00:12:55.110 --> 00:12:59.110 comfort ye your hearts, after that ye shall pass 00:12:59.110 --> 00:13:02.009 on. For therefore ye are come to your servant. 00:13:02.269 --> 00:13:05.990 And they said, So do as thou hast said. And Abraham 00:13:05.990 --> 00:13:07.750 hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, 00:13:07.830 --> 00:13:10.570 Make ready quickly three measures of a fine meal, 00:13:10.750 --> 00:13:14.460 knead it, and make cakes. upon the earth. And 00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:18.399 Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.820 tender, and good, and gave it unto a young man. 00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:26.559 And he hasted to dress it. And he took butter 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.899 and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, 00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:31.779 and set it before them. And he stood by them 00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:36.220 under the tree, and they did eat. And they said 00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:39.220 unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.940 Behold in the tent. And he said, I will certainly 00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:48.120 return unto thee. According to the time of life, 00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:52.559 and know, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.059 Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind 00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:59.379 him. And Abraham and Sarah were, Now Abraham 00:13:59.379 --> 00:14:02.000 and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age. 00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:06.100 And it ceased to be, With Sarah, after the manner 00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:09.080 of women, therefore Sarah laughed within herself, 00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:13.820 saying, After I am waxed old, shall I have pleasure, 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.279 my Lord being also old? And the Lord said unto 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.419 Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall 00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:25.240 I of a short bear a child, which am old? Is anything 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:29.610 too hard for the Lord? At that time, At the time 00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:31.009 appointed, I will return unto thee according 00:14:31.009 --> 00:14:34.690 to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:39.549 Sarah shall what? Shall have a son. Now, what 00:14:39.549 --> 00:14:44.149 is taking place here is that Abraham and Sarah, 00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:48.149 their family, they had a divine visitation. So 00:14:48.149 --> 00:14:50.009 this is a divine visitation, right? If you see 00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:52.409 from the beginning, it said the Lord appeared 00:14:52.409 --> 00:14:55.330 to them, right? And in the appearance, we saw 00:14:55.330 --> 00:14:59.809 three men, right? We saw three men. And what 00:14:59.809 --> 00:15:02.309 was the news they brought through? They brought 00:15:02.309 --> 00:15:05.250 a news, right? They gave an instruction. So we 00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:07.909 can see that in the course of fellowshipping 00:15:07.909 --> 00:15:12.070 with these three men, right? With these three 00:15:12.070 --> 00:15:14.950 divine, we will call them divine visitors, right? 00:15:15.049 --> 00:15:18.129 In the course of fellowshipping with them, you 00:15:18.129 --> 00:15:21.830 see, while they ate, Abraham was there. They 00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:25.629 ministered something to him. And what they ministered, 00:15:26.269 --> 00:15:29.750 is what we see in the New Testament as the power 00:15:29.750 --> 00:15:32.809 gifts. Why do we see it as expression of the 00:15:32.809 --> 00:15:36.570 power gifts by the divine power of God? Because 00:15:36.570 --> 00:15:43.230 in verse 9, right? I think verse 11 says it more 00:15:43.230 --> 00:15:46.070 better. It said, Now Abraham and Sarah were old 00:15:46.070 --> 00:15:48.950 and well -strengthened in age, and it ceased 00:15:48.950 --> 00:15:52.830 to be with Sarah after the manner of what? It 00:15:52.830 --> 00:15:56.009 means that she has reached a stage, by natural 00:15:56.009 --> 00:15:59.029 circumstances, she is not supposed to have a 00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:04.149 child. So by the time and season of life and 00:16:04.149 --> 00:16:09.649 age, Sarah had bypassed, she had passed the stage 00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:13.149 of anything natural taking place. So it would 00:16:13.149 --> 00:16:17.309 therefore mean that the birth of Isaac was divine 00:16:17.309 --> 00:16:21.830 too. Do we get it? It means that the natural 00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:27.970 state of Sarah was bypassed to bring forth Isaac. 00:16:30.370 --> 00:16:34.649 Are you with me? That is the expression of the 00:16:34.649 --> 00:16:37.830 power gift of God because the natural was suspended 00:16:37.830 --> 00:16:46.370 for the supernatural to have its course. Hallelujah. 00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:52.720 So, When we talk about power gifts, you should 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.500 be expecting something in your life, right? Let's 00:16:56.500 --> 00:17:01.419 say you're sick, that it will be suspended. The 00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:03.820 natural situation and circumstance will be suspended 00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:08.119 for the supernatural to take place. So if you're 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.480 expecting healing, expect that that disease will 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:16.710 disappear. That is what it means. So when you're 00:17:16.710 --> 00:17:18.250 expecting divine healing and the power of God 00:17:18.250 --> 00:17:21.289 to function is that it will disappear. You will 00:17:21.289 --> 00:17:22.869 not see it again. So I'm building expectations 00:17:22.869 --> 00:17:25.269 for you. I'm helping you to build expectations 00:17:25.269 --> 00:17:27.750 so that when we call you out to come and receive, 00:17:28.029 --> 00:17:32.190 you are expecting that as pastor lay hands on 00:17:32.190 --> 00:17:38.130 me, this thing will disappear. That as pastor 00:17:38.130 --> 00:17:41.410 touch my head, this headache will go for life. 00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.559 You see, we have to build this expectation. Very 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:50.960 well in you. So that when you come to receive, 00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:57.420 you can receive well. You can receive well. Look 00:17:57.420 --> 00:18:00.839 at Sarah's reaction. She laughed. Will this thing 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:08.140 be? Will this thing be? Now let me show you something 00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:13.339 as well. You can go and take time to read the 00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:17.059 scriptures. And you can see it. I saw a pattern, 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.380 what I can call a pattern, not necessarily a 00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:22.259 motif, but just one time I see it and I'm sharing 00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:27.440 it, is that the same way the natural, right, 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:31.299 was suspended, of course, Abraham's heart was 00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:33.700 still going on to her again and then she gave 00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:36.559 birth, right? But it therefore means that by 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.079 the time, it wasn't like Mary's case. Right? 00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:41.980 It's a fact that, okay, she stopped having the 00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:44.039 possibility of having a child because of age, 00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:47.099 but while Abraham still went on to her, she had 00:18:47.099 --> 00:18:49.980 a child. Do we get it? So that's the natural 00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:52.680 suspended than the supernatural harvest place. 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:57.720 Right? It's similar to the case of Mary. Right? 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.839 That one too, the natural was suspended for divine 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.980 to harvest place. That is the power of God that 00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:07.559 came upon her, the spirit of God in upon her. 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.859 So this is the power gift. These things happen 00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:14.720 in life. So build your expectations. If there 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.059 are things that you have used drugs, you have 00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.059 used medicine, you have seen the doctor, you 00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:24.279 have tried, and it's still there. Build the expectation 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.980 that when we call you out and lay hands on you, 00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:34.900 it will disappear. Hallelujah. Are we together? 00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:37.210 So the pattern I saw is that I observed there 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:39.329 is the same pattern that happened, right? While 00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:41.250 Isaac painted the picture of Christ who is to 00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:44.450 come, in the case of Christ himself, right? Through 00:19:44.450 --> 00:19:46.630 the divine power of God, something happened. 00:19:47.450 --> 00:19:51.430 Now write this down. This is different from decoy 00:19:51.430 --> 00:19:54.869 or what some people call providence. This is 00:19:54.869 --> 00:19:58.430 different from decoy. This divine power of God 00:19:58.430 --> 00:20:01.609 working, power gift is different from decoy. 00:20:01.950 --> 00:20:03.150 Some of you that are in training center, you 00:20:03.150 --> 00:20:04.710 know what they call decoy. You know what we call 00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:08.289 the providence. Decoy is when God uses the mistakes 00:20:08.289 --> 00:20:11.950 of men and navigates, yet he brought forth his 00:20:11.950 --> 00:20:17.529 plan. So decoy is when God uses the mistake of 00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:20.369 men. While men are making mistakes, yet somebody 00:20:20.369 --> 00:20:23.690 is believing and carrying on the message. Are 00:20:23.690 --> 00:20:26.839 you getting it? So you can check across the scriptures. 00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:29.420 You will see that while God is communicating 00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:33.279 his message and men are planning to toil and 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.200 destroy that plan, someone was believing and 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.059 passing the message. Another one will believe. 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.480 In a generation, Caleb and Joshua. Right? So 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.660 that is decoy. God, despite your unbelief, right? 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:50.079 God will walk, you know, God will walk throughout. 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.000 That's decoy. And that takes time, right? Because 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.829 it has to walk through. how men are functioning 00:20:55.829 --> 00:20:58.509 and all of that. Power give works instantly. 00:21:00.630 --> 00:21:02.150 This is what we've seen. It works instantly. 00:21:02.450 --> 00:21:06.950 It works on that physical issue. You see it take 00:21:06.950 --> 00:21:14.690 place. You can write, it is the interruption 00:21:14.690 --> 00:21:17.730 of the natural. It is the interruption of the 00:21:17.730 --> 00:21:21.130 natural. It is the interruption of the natural. 00:21:22.150 --> 00:21:27.220 Exodus 14. So we've seen, we can say that the 00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:30.660 divine itself allowed this power to function. 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.279 Right? As we see in the case of Abraham, God 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.960 himself put it in place. God himself suspended 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.779 that which is natural in a man's life and family 00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:46.779 and brought forth a supernatural plan. So let's 00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:49.640 see Moses. You know, like I already said, you 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.740 have to pay attention to a lot of teachings from 00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:54.269 Moses as you're teaching. Or as you are learning. 00:21:55.309 --> 00:21:58.329 Exodus 14, 16. Just write the scriptures down. 00:21:58.789 --> 00:22:10.029 Exodus 14, verse 16. Exodus 14, verse 16. Verse 00:22:10.029 --> 00:22:22.609 21 to 22. Verse 21 to 22. Exodus 16 verse 13 00:22:22.609 --> 00:22:42.710 to 15. Exodus 17 verse 5 to 7. Exodus 17 verse 00:22:42.710 --> 00:23:01.029 5 to 7. Now, Exodus 14, 16 says, But lift thou 00:23:01.029 --> 00:23:07.049 up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the 00:23:07.049 --> 00:23:11.329 sea, and divide it, and the children of Israel 00:23:11.329 --> 00:23:16.970 shall go on dry ground through the mists of the 00:23:16.970 --> 00:23:21.309 sea. Right? Now, this is not fiction. This is 00:23:21.309 --> 00:23:29.130 not movie. Okay, this is not CGI. Okay, this 00:23:29.130 --> 00:23:34.970 is the power of God at work. So something that 00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:38.829 had never happened before took place there that 00:23:38.829 --> 00:23:42.210 the sea would part and form walls. Now, I think 00:23:42.210 --> 00:23:45.150 it says the sea formed walls around them and 00:23:45.150 --> 00:23:48.349 they passed on dry land. That is the power of 00:23:48.349 --> 00:23:53.789 God. That is the miraculous power of God functioning 00:23:53.789 --> 00:23:59.150 for the deliverance of people. 21 verse, verse 00:23:59.150 --> 00:24:01.750 21 to 22. And Moses stretched out his hand over 00:24:01.750 --> 00:24:04.569 the sea and the Lord caused the sea to go back 00:24:04.569 --> 00:24:08.690 by a strong east wind. All that night amid the 00:24:08.690 --> 00:24:12.130 sea dry land and the waters were divided. And 00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:13.750 the children of God went into the midst of the 00:24:13.750 --> 00:24:17.430 sea upon the dry ground and the waters were a 00:24:17.430 --> 00:24:20.809 wall unto them. on their right and on their left. 00:24:22.009 --> 00:24:24.250 This is the divine power of God that is still 00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:28.930 at work today. It's still at work today. Right? 00:24:28.950 --> 00:24:32.269 We see the physical being suspended for the natural. 00:24:32.410 --> 00:24:35.190 Exodus 16, 13 to 15. We'll run a little bit. 00:24:35.569 --> 00:24:40.910 Exodus 15, 13 to 15. Exodus 16, 13 to 15. As 00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:42.789 you just pray, you know, just be praying in your 00:24:42.789 --> 00:24:46.269 hearts. Pertaining circumstances that you thought 00:24:46.269 --> 00:24:50.990 have been difficult, that God, that these circumstances, 00:24:51.190 --> 00:24:53.970 this natural, will give way to the supernatural. 00:24:55.990 --> 00:24:57.910 As you are reading those scriptures, be praying 00:24:57.910 --> 00:25:00.809 in your hearts that these natural circumstances 00:25:00.809 --> 00:25:04.029 that has been abiding, that by the power of God, 00:25:04.130 --> 00:25:07.029 it will give way to the miraculous power of God. 00:25:09.109 --> 00:25:12.930 Now look at this one, another one which is quite 00:25:12.930 --> 00:25:20.059 historical, 16 verse 13 to 15. And it came to 00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:23.400 pass that at the evening, quails came up and 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.880 covered the camp. And in the morning, the dune 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:33.119 laid round about the host. And when the dune 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:38.539 that lay was gone, was gone, behold, upon the 00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:41.619 face of the wilderness, there lay a small round 00:25:41.619 --> 00:25:57.779 thing, as small as a whole frost. It means that 00:25:57.779 --> 00:25:59.920 they saw something they had never seen before. 00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:02.960 Something that they had never ate before. Something 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:05.039 they had never experienced before. They didn't 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:06.680 have a name for it. They said this has to be 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.039 manna. Then Moses gave them maybe an explanation 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:12.460 to that word. He said, this is the bread from 00:26:12.460 --> 00:26:14.539 heaven, the bread of God that God has provided 00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:19.420 for you to eat. So we see divine provision, right? 00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.319 Power gift can make divine provision available. 00:26:26.579 --> 00:26:28.660 Power gift can what? Can make divine provision. 00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:32.230 Some of you, we have believed for you. and something 00:26:32.230 --> 00:26:34.190 has happened in your life. You see, there's a 00:26:34.190 --> 00:26:36.329 way this teaching will get to. I'll be calling 00:26:36.329 --> 00:26:37.970 some of you to come and share your testimony. 00:26:38.210 --> 00:26:43.609 You know why? Because sharing increases the faith 00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:48.089 of other recipients. When you share, it increases 00:26:48.089 --> 00:26:51.009 the faith of other recipients that have been 00:26:51.009 --> 00:26:53.450 saying, is this thing real? So they will see 00:26:53.450 --> 00:26:55.970 it in your life. They will see how it happened 00:26:55.970 --> 00:27:00.700 and they will be ready to receive. So there will 00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:02.640 be a time we have to share. You know, we've not 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:04.319 really given more time to testimony, but we have 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.200 to share because in Karates, a lot of people 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.740 receive. A brother was sharing with me on Friday 00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:09.660 and, you know, some of you have shared with me 00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:14.480 how divinely the power gift of God. When we tell 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.160 you that you should call your parents back home, 00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:19.000 we are not saying it because it's not a way to 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.339 end the service. It's not a way to end the service. 00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:25.500 It's a way to tell you that call them because 00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:32.279 we expect it will happen. We expect that it will 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:37.539 happen. So sharing raises the faith of the recipients. 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:43.140 And as well, it increases the faith, right? Of 00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:46.839 we that administers it. Of you that administers 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:50.700 it. Do we get it? So when you lay hands on someone 00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:54.640 and the person got healed, right? Don't pray 00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:59.400 for someone and the person... You just forget 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.319 about it. No. Right? Ask. You know, some of you 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.740 are scared. What if I ask? The person says he's 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:09.279 not. You deny it. Ask. Ask the person. When you 00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.759 pray for someone to receive him, call the person. 00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:14.140 Have you been healed? How is it? Ask the person. 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.319 The manifestation, the demonstration comes. See, 00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:24.440 even if you ask, let me tell you, I'll share 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:27.900 my experience with you. I pray for someone, right? 00:28:29.550 --> 00:28:32.190 And I just met a person in the hospital in Astana 00:28:32.190 --> 00:28:36.809 here. And I prayed for the person. And after 00:28:36.809 --> 00:28:39.250 some time, I just feel it. After some time, I 00:28:39.250 --> 00:28:40.869 prayed for the person and I went to meet the 00:28:40.869 --> 00:28:43.230 guy. And the guy is not a believer, right? He's 00:28:43.230 --> 00:28:48.849 not a believer. And the brother told me his mom 00:28:48.849 --> 00:28:50.670 was having cancer. So he brought her down from 00:28:50.670 --> 00:28:53.109 their country to be treated. And I just, in Astana, 00:28:53.190 --> 00:28:55.329 I just blocked him and just prayed for him. And 00:28:55.329 --> 00:28:57.630 after some time, I called him. And he just, how 00:28:57.630 --> 00:28:59.869 is your mom? He now told me that she passed. 00:29:01.089 --> 00:29:05.609 Right? He said, she passed. Now, I begin to, 00:29:05.690 --> 00:29:07.349 because then, that was quite a time. I begin 00:29:07.349 --> 00:29:12.569 to, there's power gifts. I begin to stop. Within 00:29:12.569 --> 00:29:15.190 my spirit, immediate, you will not stop. He said, 00:29:15.250 --> 00:29:20.640 you continue. He said, you continue. Right? You 00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:22.779 continue. Say, you don't understand what happened 00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:25.740 in this context. But that does not stop your... 00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:29.140 It's God that is at work, right? Through you, 00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:31.559 right? Your responsibility is to keep laying 00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.980 hands. Your responsibility is to keep praying. 00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:37.380 Your responsibility is to keep functioning in 00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:41.920 that ministration of the gift of the Spirit. 00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:46.559 Right? You will see the healing. Daddy, I sat 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:47.880 down. I took time. I started thinking. Say no, 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.279 say no. He said, you don't understand the entire 00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:52.079 context of what happened. You just met the guy. 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.259 You just administered to him. Right? So you don't 00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:57.819 understand. So just keep doing it. So I never 00:29:57.819 --> 00:30:00.559 got myself discouraged. After that time, if I 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:02.200 see anybody again, I'll still pray for the person. 00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.799 Right? So don't be discouraged. Don't be discouraged. 00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:10.720 Don't be discouraged. Have I seen the one that 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.799 we have prayed for and the person got healed? 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.480 Yes. Many. We pray for your praying, they get 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.859 healed. We pray for this person, they get healed. 00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:24.240 So the power gift is your duty there is to keep 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.460 administering it. Do we get it? Your duty is 00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:31.839 to keep desiring that the supernatural will continue 00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.940 to prevail in natural circumstances around you. 00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.319 That's your duty. And that is what we are calling 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.940 you to do. So as someone who administer this 00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:43.900 as a believer, you must keep expecting that surrounding 00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:50.940 me, Now, there's a point I wrote here, which 00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:52.640 of course I'll still read. I wrote here, I said, 00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:56.359 you do need to have some special formulas. The 00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.220 reason why you always want to think that you 00:30:58.220 --> 00:31:00.380 have to go back to pray, you have to do some 00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:03.680 72 Psalms, you have to first go and check your 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.180 life, you have to first, you know, sanctify yourself 00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:09.319 and do three days of fasting is because it has 00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:13.579 not become a regular practice in your life. So 00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:16.920 if I had stopped, right? I'll stop. It means 00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.559 that probably the next day I'll try it. I'll 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:23.079 be doubting it. So if I stop the moment that 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.019 person says, ah, since I prayed, I will start 00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:29.019 doubting. That was doubt set in at that moment. 00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.460 But when I continue to practice, there is no 00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:39.519 doubt. There is no doubt. So you don't need some 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.319 special formula to work it out. Right? Moses 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:46.630 did not say, guys, wait. Let me go and pray and 00:31:46.630 --> 00:31:50.390 fast for seven days. Or let me go and do this. 00:31:50.589 --> 00:31:53.490 He administers the power gift, the miraculous 00:31:53.490 --> 00:31:59.990 on the spot. He administers it there. As the 00:31:59.990 --> 00:32:03.309 instructions come, he administers. So power gifts 00:32:03.309 --> 00:32:06.509 are not something that you go and come and say, 00:32:06.569 --> 00:32:09.490 let me go first. It's doubt that it's working 00:32:09.490 --> 00:32:12.890 though. When you see the circumstance in the 00:32:12.890 --> 00:32:16.670 natural, you do what? You lay hands. You heal. 00:32:19.170 --> 00:32:29.369 Hallelujah. 1 Kings. 1 Kings 17. Which I think 00:32:29.369 --> 00:32:34.970 I touched a little bit upon in Karatismos. 1 00:32:34.970 --> 00:32:37.970 Kings 17. You will see something in Elijah's 00:32:37.970 --> 00:32:49.460 life. 1 Kings 17. Verse 7. Now, just go to verse 00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:54.720 11. Just go to verse 11. It's 1 Kings 17, verse 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.240 7 to 16. Actually, 1 Kings 17, verse 7 to 16. 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.759 Write that down. Then we can start from verse 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:10.240 11. I know God will heal somebody here. I believe 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.059 strongly that he will heal someone here. Some 00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:17.079 of you have circumstances that you have held 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:23.099 on to and you have doubted. But the power of 00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:29.240 God will begin to work that circumstance out. 00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:37.559 Verse 11 says, And as she was going to fetch 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.980 it, he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray 00:33:40.980 --> 00:34:05.369 thee, a mussel of bread. So they are in a dying 00:34:05.369 --> 00:34:09.150 circumstance. Israel was in a dying circumstance 00:34:09.150 --> 00:34:13.369 facing the Red Sea. Right? They are in a dying 00:34:13.369 --> 00:34:15.530 circumstance because there's no more provisions. 00:34:18.269 --> 00:34:22.110 But look at what Elijah said. He said, And Elijah 00:34:22.110 --> 00:34:25.610 said unto her, Fear not, go and do as thou hast 00:34:25.610 --> 00:34:28.750 said, but make me thereof a little from it, a 00:34:28.750 --> 00:34:31.590 little kid first, and bring it unto me, and after 00:34:31.590 --> 00:34:35.070 make for thee and for thy son. Look at the next 00:34:35.070 --> 00:34:38.650 statement. He said, For thus saith the Lord God 00:34:38.650 --> 00:34:41.909 of Israel. The priority of me shall not waste, 00:34:42.090 --> 00:34:45.510 neither shall the cruise of oil fail, until the 00:34:45.510 --> 00:34:50.929 day the Lord send rain upon the earth. Where 00:34:50.929 --> 00:34:55.710 did Elijah get this one from? Go to verse 8 and 00:34:55.710 --> 00:35:01.409 verse 9. He says, And the word of the Lord came 00:35:01.409 --> 00:35:06.190 unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, 00:35:06.289 --> 00:35:10.579 which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there. I 00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:15.420 have commanded who? A widow woman there to sustain 00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:18.000 thee. So it means that God was communicating 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:21.280 something to him that there's abundance somewhere. 00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:24.679 Somewhere I've made an abundance. God is communicating 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.179 that I have made what? Abundance somewhere. Did 00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:31.000 the woman know that? No. But the man of God knew 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.760 it. Right? So when the woman came and when Elijah 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.860 came and the woman was saying, This is what's 00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:42.119 in the natural. This is what is available. Did 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.579 you get it? She said, in the natural, this is 00:35:46.579 --> 00:35:49.460 what is available. And in the natural, we are 00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:54.239 about to die. But the man of God had a divine 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.980 word. Hallelujah. See, I have a divine word. 00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.000 I have a divine word that I can work in the supernatural. 00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:04.739 I have a divine word that I can work in the power 00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:08.170 gifts. I have a divine word that I can heal the 00:36:08.170 --> 00:36:12.210 sick. I have a divine word that miracles can 00:36:12.210 --> 00:36:18.030 happen through me. Hallelujah. The man of God 00:36:18.030 --> 00:36:21.650 had a divine word. So what did he do? He said 00:36:21.650 --> 00:36:27.110 that divine word. He said, Ask. He said unto 00:36:27.110 --> 00:36:30.489 her, For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The 00:36:30.489 --> 00:36:32.510 barrier will not waste, neither shall the cross 00:36:32.510 --> 00:36:36.780 all fail until the day. That was the divine word. 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.440 That there is abundance somewhere, though she 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:42.619 cannot see in the natural. He brought it to pass. 00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:47.480 Say, I bring things to pass in the supernatural. 00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:53.320 Things in the natural are giving way for the 00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:58.579 supernatural through me. So what did we see there? 00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.079 We see that Elijah received a word from the Lord. 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.900 That's the first thing. He received a word from 00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:06.219 the Lord. That is why he said you have a divine 00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:09.559 word. That the things of the Spirit functions 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.159 through you. You have a divine word. That the 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.460 things of the Spirit does what function. Elijah 00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:17.719 had what? He received a word from the Lord. Verse 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.699 8 and 9. He received a word. That there's somewhere 00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:24.800 the supernatural is already taking place. You 00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:27.519 just need to go there and bring it to the physical. 00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:29.900 That was what he did. Right? He said, there's 00:37:29.900 --> 00:37:31.860 some who have made abundance provision. She can't 00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:34.500 see it. But you as a man of God, when you get 00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:38.539 there, bring it to pass in the natural. That 00:37:38.539 --> 00:37:41.800 is what we do when we walk in the power gifts. 00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:45.659 In so many circumstances that are surrounding 00:37:45.659 --> 00:37:49.340 you, they are already solved. You don't know. 00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:54.059 They are already solved. Oh. What you need to 00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:57.800 do is to bring it to pass in the natural. Let 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.929 us see it. Let there be a display of the healing. 00:38:01.110 --> 00:38:03.690 Let there be a display of the abundance provision. 00:38:03.949 --> 00:38:06.869 Let there be a display of the miraculous. Things 00:38:06.869 --> 00:38:10.949 around you are already responding. It is you 00:38:10.949 --> 00:38:17.289 that will make it visible. So Elijah received 00:38:17.289 --> 00:38:21.469 a word from the Lord God, verse 8 and 9. The 00:38:21.469 --> 00:38:23.050 second thing is that it is a word that there 00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:26.289 is abundance. It is a word that there is abundance. 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.039 For you is the world that the supernatural walks 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.980 through you. It is the world that the supernatural 00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:33.480 walks through you. If I may say, the world is 00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:36.019 the world of abundance. There's abundance, supernatural. 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:44.519 Pay attention to circumstances around you. There 00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:48.679 are many of us that healing passes through you 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.440 and you let it go. Like some healing should have 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.440 been administered by you. You just allow the 00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:03.840 person to walk away. Thank you, Jesus. Pay attention. 00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:06.480 When people come around, pay attention. There 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:07.960 are some things that you should be ministering 00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.539 to people, but you are letting them go. Those 00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:12.260 things are supposed to build your faith as you're 00:39:12.260 --> 00:39:15.559 ministering them. You're letting them go. Do 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:18.539 we observe that Elijah did not go back to meet 00:39:18.539 --> 00:39:21.760 God and say, let me go and meet God first. If 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:25.219 that word is still sure. You know, some of us, 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.619 when you are praying, when you say, let the person 00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:30.699 be healed, let the person be healed. You say, 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:32.360 let me go and fast. You are going back to ask 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:34.519 God, God, is the things of the Spirit still in 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:39.019 me? Can we walk in it? Some of us, some people 00:39:39.019 --> 00:39:42.139 will not even make it worse. Will you give it 00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:44.320 to this person? What is will you give it to this 00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.239 person? That is what you do when you say, I want 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:48.920 to go back three days, seven days of prayers, 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:53.070 take oil, water, mix it together, shake it. Pour 00:39:53.070 --> 00:39:55.809 it on your head or you come and pour it. You're 00:39:55.809 --> 00:39:58.590 wasting time. Somebody who knows the power has 00:39:58.590 --> 00:40:01.610 released the person. Before you came back, the 00:40:01.610 --> 00:40:04.489 person has received healing because you are planning 00:40:04.489 --> 00:40:07.829 formulas. It doesn't work that way. So you don't 00:40:07.829 --> 00:40:10.929 go back to ask God. You don't go back to ask 00:40:10.929 --> 00:40:14.449 God and say, God, is he available? No. You administer 00:40:14.449 --> 00:40:18.429 it because it's a sure word. It's certain that 00:40:18.429 --> 00:40:23.139 it's active, ever present, ever working. In you. 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:31.500 Is active. Ever working. In you. Now there's 00:40:31.500 --> 00:40:34.360 one thing about this gift as well. There's one 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.659 thing about this gift. I think. Pascosti hinted 00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:41.539 us on it. That these gifts. Work together. They 00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:43.420 work together. Right. The power gift. The revelation 00:40:43.420 --> 00:40:47.239 gift. The. The. Ultron's gift. They work together. 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:51.400 you will see that actually there was a pronouncement. 00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:55.139 There was an utterance. Do we get it? There was 00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:57.860 an utterance. So what we see there is that Elijah 00:40:57.860 --> 00:41:01.860 said an utterance. He said, as long as God liveth, 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.079 right? Thus saith the Lord, this oil will not 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:09.840 fail. This abundance, it remains until the day 00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:13.739 rain that will bring the natural one. Right? 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.599 would come to pass. So he said, this supernatural 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.860 will continue until the time that everybody wants 00:41:22.860 --> 00:41:26.420 the natural things will join it. So there was 00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:29.139 outrance. So power gift also comes with what? 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:33.739 Power gift comes with what? Outrance. That's 00:41:33.739 --> 00:41:36.139 when we are healing the sick. We are calling 00:41:36.139 --> 00:41:38.320 the name of the disease, calling the place that 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.320 is feeling the pain and we are saying something. 00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:47.699 Thus said, The Lord. It works with all trans. 00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:50.780 We are saying something to that disease. We are 00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:53.659 saying something to that circumstance that it 00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:59.079 will cease. So the power gives us to work with 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.539 all trans here. You can add the scripture Acts 00:42:02.539 --> 00:42:08.639 chapter 3 verse 6 to 7. Acts chapter 3 verse 00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:11.260 6 to 7. Some of the scriptures, we'll come back 00:42:11.260 --> 00:42:18.230 to them again. but to see. You will see that 00:42:18.230 --> 00:42:21.849 even Peter spoke something. He said something, 00:42:22.010 --> 00:42:26.289 right? So you will not just do, touch the person 00:42:26.289 --> 00:42:28.929 and walk away. That's faithlessness. Like you 00:42:28.929 --> 00:42:30.929 are not sure of what you are doing. See, touch 00:42:30.929 --> 00:42:34.389 the person. That's not how to administer healing. 00:42:37.319 --> 00:42:40.079 See, that's not how to do it. There's an oppression 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:43.719 as with these functions. So, when you are administering 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.079 these things, right, you are saying something. 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.019 Someone called you, right? Someone called you, 00:42:49.059 --> 00:42:51.500 said, ah, they are going to chase me out of my 00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:54.840 house so I don't have rent and all of that. You 00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:58.400 can, the gift of faith functions in a way that 00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:01.460 you just, don't worry. God is making a provision. 00:43:01.739 --> 00:43:04.800 Right away, God is making a provision. The person 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:06.280 who dropped the call called you back. He said, 00:43:06.699 --> 00:43:10.159 Provision has been made. Provision has been what? 00:43:10.260 --> 00:43:13.400 Has been made. I have been preserved in that 00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:20.719 house. This is how it functions. Because you 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.059 said it. So if you didn't say it, you say it 00:43:23.059 --> 00:43:28.679 in your mind. Where is the person's faith built 00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:30.320 up? Where is the edification in the things of 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.570 the spirit? The things of the spirit must what? 00:43:33.869 --> 00:43:36.349 Edify. The gift of the spirit edifies, isn't 00:43:36.349 --> 00:43:38.769 it? It edifies. So the person who is receiving 00:43:38.769 --> 00:43:41.329 is edified. Then the person has expectation to 00:43:41.329 --> 00:43:45.710 see, right? Some of us, one of the things that's 00:43:45.710 --> 00:43:49.050 used to do, let me just share with us, is for 00:43:49.050 --> 00:43:55.489 people who are still growing. Just an example. 00:43:55.769 --> 00:43:59.789 So you receive a word for someone, right? Receive 00:43:59.789 --> 00:44:02.900 a word for someone. You did not share it, right? 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.820 You have seen by revelation that God is going 00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:08.679 to work certain things out through that brother. 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:11.519 You did not share it. You doubted it. Someone 00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.440 else now shared it, right? Because you refused 00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:18.500 to alter it and bring it to pass in the natural. 00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:23.019 Ah, me too, I saw it. Ah, I was about to tell... 00:44:23.019 --> 00:44:27.000 You did not edify the person. The person will 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:27.940 just be looking at what are you talking about. 00:44:28.900 --> 00:44:30.900 You never gave me an entrance that edified me. 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:34.760 Right? But you know that that thing was true. 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:38.000 You saw it. True, right? You knew it within your 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:41.920 spirit. You now became the confirmer. Instead 00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:45.280 of you to be the one who is administering it 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:48.559 and others will confirm it. Right? So you must 00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:51.800 utter, you must say something. Right? You must 00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:54.920 say something. Acts chapter 3, verse 6 to 7. 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.659 Then Peter said, silver and gold. Right? Is that 00:44:59.659 --> 00:45:04.380 natural? Is silver and gold natural? Okay. Silver 00:45:04.380 --> 00:45:06.780 and gold, maybe the guy needs money for some 00:45:06.780 --> 00:45:10.659 operation, right? Maybe the guy needs some funding, 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.199 you know, to do some surgery, right? The person 00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:16.960 has been scheduled to go into the theater for 00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:20.940 a number of days. But silver and gold, you can 00:45:20.940 --> 00:45:23.579 say you have none, but see what you can give, 00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:27.599 just like Peter gave. He said, silver and gold 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:33.440 have I none. But as such that I have, which is 00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:38.519 supernatural, as such that I have, give ID. In 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:42.579 the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, do what? 00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:47.119 Rise up and what? And walk. So you say what you 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.019 want to see when it comes to the power give, 00:45:49.139 --> 00:45:51.159 right? This is what I want to see. I want to 00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:54.159 see healing. You are healed. There is no more 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.429 pain. There is no more helmet. You say it. As 00:45:58.429 --> 00:46:01.989 much as I have, I give, healing, you receive. 00:46:04.150 --> 00:46:09.949 There is no more lack in you. You will go to 00:46:09.949 --> 00:46:12.190 those offices and they will respond. They don't 00:46:12.190 --> 00:46:15.130 even know how they are responding to you. It's 00:46:15.130 --> 00:46:20.050 the miraculous power of God at work. He said, 00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:22.849 as much as I have, as such that I have, I give 00:46:22.849 --> 00:46:25.349 it in the name of Jesus Christ. Rise up and do 00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:28.920 what? And walk. Now. Look at what Peter now added 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:31.800 to it. What did he do? He took him by the right 00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.719 hand. And what? And lifted him. These are things 00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.860 that happen through the power gift. He said something 00:46:38.860 --> 00:46:44.920 and aided the man up. So all trans. is important 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.380 in administering the power gift. We're going 00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:49.219 to explain the three of them one by one, but 00:46:49.219 --> 00:46:51.320 you must know that this utterance is important. 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.480 It's not something that is done unconsciously. 00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.460 It's not something that is done in passing. It's 00:46:57.460 --> 00:47:00.460 not something that is done, you know, haphazardly. 00:47:00.460 --> 00:47:02.179 That is why when you come, we want to administer 00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:05.340 to you, we ask you questions, right? We ask you 00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:07.920 questions. What is the circumstance? We will 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.460 not just say, oh Lord, is healed in general. 00:47:11.179 --> 00:47:17.219 No. What is happening? Tell us. And when you 00:47:17.219 --> 00:47:21.420 say it, that thing is addressed directly. Hands 00:47:21.420 --> 00:47:23.360 can be laid on legs, laid on shoulders, laid 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:36.559 on head. So we see all trends in this. Now, since 00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:38.420 we've seen divine provision, let's see again 00:47:38.420 --> 00:47:41.809 something. So we say faith for divine provision, 00:47:41.969 --> 00:47:44.469 right? In Elijah's case, faith for divine provision. 00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:47.670 Now, if you move further to verse 17 and 24. 00:47:50.170 --> 00:47:55.789 1 Kings 17, right? Verse 17 to 24. Something 00:47:55.789 --> 00:47:58.949 else again happened in the woman's life. You 00:47:58.949 --> 00:48:01.469 know? She just seems to have too much coming 00:48:01.469 --> 00:48:08.030 around. She just seems to keep having these reoccurring 00:48:08.030 --> 00:48:10.510 issues and something. And imagine someone that 00:48:10.510 --> 00:48:12.809 has administered supernatural, she almost wanted 00:48:12.809 --> 00:48:15.010 to say he's not a man of God. Let me take you 00:48:15.010 --> 00:48:18.750 to the verse. Now, go to verse 24. It said, And 00:48:18.750 --> 00:48:23.630 the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know 00:48:23.630 --> 00:48:28.130 that thou art a man of God, and the word of God 00:48:28.130 --> 00:48:34.610 in thy mouth is truth. You ate manna, because 00:48:34.610 --> 00:48:38.059 I can liken what she ate to manna. Can we liken 00:48:38.059 --> 00:48:40.519 that? Yes. That's divine provision. What was 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:42.760 taking place in the house, we can liken it to 00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:47.320 manna. You did not believe. So, when another 00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.300 problem now came, right? They now solved that 00:48:51.300 --> 00:48:53.960 one. Maybe she's doing at the mouth of one or 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:56.159 two or three witnesses. Maybe that's what she's 00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:59.460 trying to do. But do you observe that consistently 00:48:59.460 --> 00:49:04.960 Elijah continued to minister? You must be consistent 00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:08.150 in these power gifts. Let it be your regular 00:49:08.150 --> 00:49:13.210 place. Be consistent. The more you do it, the 00:49:13.210 --> 00:49:15.829 more it functions. The more you see it, the more 00:49:15.829 --> 00:49:18.349 you get used to it, the more it becomes your 00:49:18.349 --> 00:49:22.869 natural. It becomes your natural. You must become 00:49:22.869 --> 00:49:25.610 regularly. Someone asks you for this, you pray 00:49:25.610 --> 00:49:27.429 for the person. The person calls you again, there's 00:49:27.429 --> 00:49:29.590 circumstances. Pray for the person. Minister 00:49:29.590 --> 00:49:34.670 the gift. And it came to pass after these things 00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:36.789 that the son of the mistress of the house was 00:49:36.789 --> 00:49:40.710 sick and his sickness was so sore that there 00:49:40.710 --> 00:49:43.969 was no breath in him. And she said to Elijah, 00:49:44.230 --> 00:49:46.590 what have I done to you, O man of God? And thou 00:49:46.590 --> 00:49:49.329 come to me to call my sins. You know, this is 00:49:49.329 --> 00:49:52.030 the ideology then, right? To call my sins to 00:49:52.030 --> 00:49:55.550 remembrance and to slay my son. Now, if you go 00:49:55.550 --> 00:50:01.840 to verse 22. He said, the Lord heard the voice 00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:04.320 of Elijah and the soul of the child came back. 00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:06.739 He said, 21. He said, and he stretched himself 00:50:06.739 --> 00:50:10.059 upon the child three times and cried unto the 00:50:10.059 --> 00:50:13.699 Lord and said, O Lord God, O Lord my God, I pray 00:50:13.699 --> 00:50:17.440 thee, let this child's soul come into him again. 00:50:18.699 --> 00:50:20.980 So he entered the supernatural and said, bring 00:50:20.980 --> 00:50:26.940 this child back to life. Power gives divine provision. 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.300 What do we see here? Power gives what? Healing. 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:33.400 Or the miraculous, right? Because the child was 00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:36.320 dead, right? But he said it's as good as there 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:40.360 was no life in the child, right? So we see that 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:43.659 within a man's life. Now, this is what makes 00:50:43.659 --> 00:50:46.199 much attention goes to this kind of people in 00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:49.000 the scriptures because of the power gifts. But 00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.039 every believer can do what? Can work in the power 00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.219 gifts. Can you begin to pray in the Holy Ghost? 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:57.059 We'll stop here. Can you just begin to pray? 00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.480 I just want you to pray in tongues. Circumstances 00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.400 in your life in the natural that you want the 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.480 supernatural to take place, can you begin to 00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.940 pray in tongues and put them into order? Can 00:51:07.940 --> 00:51:09.679 you pray in tongues? Circumstances in your life 00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.659 that have delayed for long. Circumstances in 00:51:12.659 --> 00:51:15.659 your life that have dragged for long. Circumstances 00:51:15.659 --> 00:51:22.940 in your life. Can you pray? We appreciate you 00:51:22.940 --> 00:51:25.500 being here today. We hope you carry this word 00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:28.539 with you throughout your week.
