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 --> 00:00:27.460 right in. You must have faith that as I pray, 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.239 I'm not praying for the answers to come, but 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.219 I'm praying so that the answers can be seen in 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:35.179 the natural. Hallelujah. Because all of God's 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:37.859 promises for the believer are yea and what? And 00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:39.740 amen. They have been fulfilled. They have been 00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:42.340 settled. Hallelujah. So what we do in the place 00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:45.479 of prayer is that that which we know has been 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.700 fulfilled in Christ, we make it visible in the 00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:53.450 natural. Praise God. You see, when you have knowledge, 00:00:53.509 --> 00:00:56.189 as you take the place of prayer, you are praying, 00:00:56.329 --> 00:00:59.189 you are praying, you don't quit. Because you 00:00:59.189 --> 00:01:01.890 know that that which has been made available, 00:01:02.170 --> 00:01:04.909 you need it or you need to insist that you will 00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:09.090 see it where? In the natural. Sir, when I pray, 00:01:09.189 --> 00:01:12.250 I feel weak. When I pray, I feel tired. No, no, 00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:14.650 no, no, no, no, no. Don't pray by your feeling. 00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:18.859 Pray by God's word. Hallelujah. Don't pray by 00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:21.120 your feeling. Don't pray by your body. Pray by 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:28.000 what? By God's word. Why? Because we are making 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.400 tremendous power what? Available. So there is 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.620 something we want to see. And we know that via 00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:42.040 prayers these things will be. Hallelujah. Praise 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.420 God. Hallelujah. First Corinthians, Acts chapter 00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:47.819 1, verse 14. He said, these all continue with 00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:51.900 one accord in prayer and what? Supplication with 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.299 the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus. And 00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:58.180 with what? With his brethren. Acts chapter 2. 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.099 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.560 they were all with, verse 1, with one accord 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.959 in one place. They were what? They were praying. 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.419 Amen. Making tremendous power available. And 00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:12.389 then the Holy Ghost was released. Amen. Then 00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:16.090 Acts chapter 3. Acts chapter 3. You can see verse 00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:18.289 1. Now Peter and John went up together into the 00:02:18.289 --> 00:02:21.430 temple at the hour of what? At the hour of prayer. 00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:28.409 Acts chapter 4. Acts chapter 4. Verse 24 or 23. 00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:31.270 And being let go, they went to their own company 00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:34.310 and reported all that the chief priests and elders 00:02:34.310 --> 00:02:37.250 had done. What? Said unto them, what is the next 00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:39.969 verse? And when they had that, they did what? 00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:43.939 They raised their voice saying what? To God with 00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:48.020 one accord in prayers. They didn't go out to 00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:51.159 protest. They didn't go out to complain. They 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.900 didn't mount roadblocks. They did what? They 00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:57.620 raised their voice with what? Loud voice in the 00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:02.580 place of prayer. So whatever the believer wants 00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:05.479 to see to change, he changes it in the place 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:11.189 of what? In the place of prayer. 29. And now, 00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:12.810 Lord, behold their threatening, the content of 00:03:12.810 --> 00:03:14.669 their prayer, and grant unto thy servants that 00:03:14.669 --> 00:03:16.669 with all boldness they may speak thy word by 00:03:16.669 --> 00:03:19.590 stretching forth thy hand and to heal, and that 00:03:19.590 --> 00:03:22.729 signs and wonders may be done by the name of 00:03:22.729 --> 00:03:26.069 thy word. Holy child, the content of their prayers 00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:28.530 was not anything to resist them. The content 00:03:28.530 --> 00:03:30.949 of their prayers was the will of God. The same 00:03:30.949 --> 00:03:33.310 thing that they were facing persecution on is 00:03:33.310 --> 00:03:35.990 the same thing they were praying for. We want 00:03:35.990 --> 00:03:38.930 to do it more. So the believer ought not to be 00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:41.849 praying anything that the will of God. Hallelujah. 00:03:42.509 --> 00:03:49.770 Now, Acts chapter 6. Acts chapter 6. Verse 4. 00:03:49.949 --> 00:03:53.310 But we will give ourselves what? Continually 00:03:53.310 --> 00:03:57.409 and what? To the ministry of what? Of the word. 00:03:57.569 --> 00:04:00.550 Verse 8. Verse 7. And the word of God did what? 00:04:01.509 --> 00:04:03.490 Increase and the number of disciples did what? 00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:07.580 Multiply. Hallelujah. Because they gave themselves 00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:10.680 to the ministry of what? Of prayers. Praise God. 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.860 Hallelujah. And we will keep reading. We will 00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.259 keep reading all through. You will see in Acts 00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:18.839 chapter 12. You will see in verse 7. Acts chapter 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.579 12 verse 7. Or verse 5. Sorry. Peter therefore 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:26.720 was kept in the prison but complained and murmuring 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.459 was made without ceasing by the church. What 00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:34.259 was made? Constant prayer was made without ceasing 00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:40.220 of the church unto God. For who? For Him. And 00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:43.500 we saw or we see subsequent verses and what? 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.060 An angel's minister. They were praying in the 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.839 house and tremendous power is made available 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.879 and something is happening in the prison. Hallelujah. 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.540 Acts chapter 13 is the product of prayer. They 00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:58.139 fasted. They ministered to God. Verse 2. As they 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:00.519 ministered to the Lord and fasted, The Holy Ghost 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.759 did what? Saved. So in prayer, we are receiving 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.620 instructions. Hallelujah. In prayer, we make 00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:10.459 power available. We receive instructions. We 00:05:10.459 --> 00:05:13.139 receive direction. We receive Jesus in the place 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:15.420 of prayer. He asks that the Lord be able to what? 00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:18.399 Strengthen him. The scripture says, and angels 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.319 minister unto him. Hallelujah. Mark chapter 11. 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.639 Can we open to Mark chapter 11? So please, when 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.259 we say pray, Let there be faith and see. When 00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:34.199 we say pray, with the eyes of faith, see what 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.779 must change. And as you're praying, don't pray 00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:38.740 as though the thing you're... No, no, no, no, 00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:41.860 no, no. See it is already done. Hallelujah. See 00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:44.699 it is already what? It's already done. The need 00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:48.500 is done. I was talking with somebody here in 00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:51.019 this church, no name withhold, you know. And 00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:53.620 I told the brother, I said, in all the plans 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:56.220 that you're planning, pray more about it. Don't 00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:59.670 just plan just like that. Amen. Take time. And 00:05:59.670 --> 00:06:06.370 what? Soak the thing in prayer. Pray, pray, pray. 00:06:07.910 --> 00:06:10.670 Pray more about a matter than you plan about 00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:14.370 it. You hear what I said? Pray more about a what? 00:06:14.689 --> 00:06:18.129 A matter than you what? Than you plan for it. 00:06:19.029 --> 00:06:22.050 This is the position of the believer. Hallelujah. 00:06:22.730 --> 00:06:27.050 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So, we're 00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:29.129 going to make tremendous power available in a 00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:34.110 short time again. Amen? There is no gift of prayer. 00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:36.750 In all the places we are reading in 1 Corinthians 00:06:36.750 --> 00:06:40.430 12, there is no place called what? Gift of prayer. 00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:45.629 Mark 11 verse 22. And Jesus answering said unto 00:06:45.629 --> 00:06:49.829 them, Have faith in who? In God. For verily I 00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:53.490 say unto you, that whosoever shall say to this, 00:06:53.509 --> 00:06:57.060 what? Be thou removed and be thou cast into what? 00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:00.339 And shall not what? That in his heart, but shall 00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:04.579 do what? Shall believe that those things which 00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:08.740 he what? Said shall do what? Shall come to pass, 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.100 he shall have whatsoever he what? He said, therefore 00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:17.540 I say unto you, N .E .C .F., whatsoever things 00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:22.480 ever he desire, when you pray, believe that you 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.879 have what? Receive them and it's what? And it's 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.040 yours. Hallelujah. There's a version that says, 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:33.180 and it's yours. Faith in the place of prayer. 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.939 But you see, 22 says, have faith in who? So the 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:44.019 source of our faith is God. We could read lots 00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:48.079 of scriptures. Make power available. Don't lock 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.980 up yourself inside the bathroom and be crying. 00:07:51.149 --> 00:07:54.050 Don't lock up yourself inside your room and be 00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:57.149 playing songs and cry and cry. Go out and take 00:07:57.149 --> 00:07:59.949 cold water and come back. You can shed tears, 00:08:00.029 --> 00:08:02.209 oh. You can cry, oh. But ensure you do what? 00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.709 Pray. Take advantage of prayers. Conrad says 00:08:07.709 --> 00:08:10.529 something. He said, through prayers, whatever 00:08:10.529 --> 00:08:13.649 that we want to see, we what? We make it visible. 00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:18.250 Praise God. Say this evening. Say this evening. 00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:20.449 Raise your hand and say this evening. This evening, 00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:25.370 I give myself to the things of the Spirit. I'm 00:08:25.370 --> 00:08:28.290 going to pray and I'll receive direction. I'll 00:08:28.290 --> 00:08:30.750 receive instructions and my life will never remain 00:08:30.750 --> 00:08:34.129 the same. Hallelujah. Before we start, let me 00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:36.330 say this lastly. Please ensure that every time 00:08:36.330 --> 00:08:38.710 you take prayers, be fervent about it. Amen. 00:08:38.929 --> 00:08:42.169 Let your mind be there. Let your attention be 00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:45.350 there. Let everything about you be there. Don't 00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:48.679 pray mindlessly. Amen. Hallelujah. Put, you see, 00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:50.759 in Acts that we read in Acts chapter 12, put 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.379 the thing before you. Amen? This is Pastor Victor 00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.320 now. I say, Pastor Victor, I want to pray for 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.279 you. Will I be praying for the door? How will 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.220 I do? I put Pastor Victor in my mind. Lord, increase, 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.600 increase. Work of ministry, flourish, flourish 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.220 in the life of Pastor Victor. Let there be sighs 00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:12.299 and wonders much more, much more. You see, as 00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:15.809 my eyes are closed. But Pastor Victor is before 00:09:15.809 --> 00:09:19.110 me in my heart. As I pray more, it's his picture 00:09:19.110 --> 00:09:21.450 that I see. As I pray more, it's his picture 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:27.909 that I see. As I pray, it's... I begin to see 00:09:27.909 --> 00:09:30.549 with the eyes of faith, signs, wonders, miracles 00:09:30.549 --> 00:09:33.509 are being written through his hands. I begin 00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:36.169 to stand more in the place of prayer. I see Jesus. 00:09:36.590 --> 00:09:39.529 Taking him from one crusade to another, I see 00:09:39.529 --> 00:09:42.210 blind eyes open, dead are raised, deaf ears are 00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:45.870 hearing, lame are walking, all via what? Prayers. 00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:51.370 I put him before me. So the next time you are 00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:54.850 praying about anything, put the thing away. Before 00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:57.669 you see, if you can put it before you, all your 00:09:57.669 --> 00:10:01.169 energies will be directed at it. Hallelujah. 00:10:01.909 --> 00:10:05.389 Praise God. Hallelujah. Are we ready for the 00:10:05.389 --> 00:10:07.129 word? Let's sit. Let's sit. Let's quickly run 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:13.389 this.

And 00:11:54.610 --> 00:11:57.639 we say it is usually at the spur of what? of 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.799 the moment hallelujah it's not something that 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.700 you have planned you know like the way other 00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:04.019 people will do in africa they arrange a prophecy 00:12:04.019 --> 00:12:06.919 session you know know the name check the facebook 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.620 trail your tracks and then know a lot of things 00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:12.379 about you and then when you apply suddenly say 00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:15.240 do i know you have we met before do i know you 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.860 i see as i'm here the angel is taking me to atakaka 00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:22.899 street i see a black gate i see number 15 you 00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:24.759 know and then you see the guy that is arranged 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.350 the thing with you go And then somebody with 00:12:28.350 --> 00:12:33.450 mic, somebody say, prophesy, major, major, forensic 00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:41.129 prophecy, Papa. No. With the Holy Ghost, it's 00:12:41.129 --> 00:12:44.830 at the what? Spore of the moment. At the moment 00:12:44.830 --> 00:12:48.950 now. Hallelujah. Say, I receive prophecy at the 00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:51.929 spore of the moment. Praise God. Can you turn 00:12:51.929 --> 00:12:53.129 to your right and left and say, I'm going to 00:12:53.129 --> 00:12:57.500 receive a prophetic word for you now. Yes. Hallelujah. 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.100 Some people did not just believe what they just 00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:02.179 said. Even after all the things we say, I receive 00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:06.220 a prophetic word for you now. And by the end 00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:09.299 of the service, you will know that truly I have 00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:15.700 the gift of prophecy. Hallelujah. Yes. And we're 00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:19.639 going to do it. Amen. So, we read Joel chapter 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.840 2 verse 28. We said, and it shall come to pass 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.759 afterward that what? I will pour out of my spirit 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.149 upon all flesh. Joel chapter 2 verse 28. However, 00:13:29.210 --> 00:13:31.889 we read Acts chapter 2, right? If you check your 00:13:31.889 --> 00:13:35.509 notes, Acts chapter 2. But this is that which 00:13:35.509 --> 00:13:40.690 was spoken by what? By prophet Joel 17. And it 00:13:40.690 --> 00:13:44.350 shall come to pass in the what? Last day said 00:13:44.350 --> 00:13:52.970 what? Said God. Acts chapter 2 verse 16. Upon 00:13:52.970 --> 00:13:54.950 all flesh and your sons and daughters shall do 00:13:54.950 --> 00:14:04.820 what? And we said that prophecy, definition of 00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:08.259 prophecy is what? The Greek word for prophecy. 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.120 From the root word, good. So, we said that now, 00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:18.179 what Peter was saying is that there is a man 00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:22.539 named Prophet Joel. Amen? And Prophet Joel spoke 00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:25.159 from God. You know, we said in the definition 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.700 that he's speaking by inspiration from a source, 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.100 right? But for the believer from the Holy Ghost, 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.460 amen? So Peter knew or Peter knows who prophet 00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:35.960 Joel is. However, he has not met him in the flesh 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.320 or in the natural, right? But he has read through 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.340 the scriptures, amen? And he could be able to 00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:44.320 say this event that is happening is a fulfillment 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.440 of what prophet Joel had prophesied. But at this 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.539 time, Peter will say prophet Joel and God said 00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:55.639 it through who? through prophet joel but now 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.019 when we read prophet joel let's go to joel 228 00:14:59.019 --> 00:15:02.460 we won't see as it were that god was speaking 00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:05.299 say prophet joel this is my word you know but 00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:07.980 it was looking as though that day if you met 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:09.980 prophet joel you will just meet him and he will 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:12.399 be saying you know and in the last days right 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.559 i will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh you 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.600 know and it will look come on what is he saying 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.779 amen hallelujah so now let's go to joel chapter 00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:27.919 2 verse 28 Joel 2 .28 And it shall come to pass 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.820 afterwards that what? Let's read it everybody. 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:38.480 And it shall come to pass what? That I will You 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.259 know if you are there to look as though Joel 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:42.039 is saying out of him. He is the one that will 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.759 pour it right? But we see Peter now is saying 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.299 that God was the one doing what? Speaking. So 00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:51.440 where was prophet Joel speaking from? From who? 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.639 From inspiration from who? inspiration of God, 00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:58.139 right? Praise God. And he says that what? Upon 00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:00.139 our flesh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy, 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.639 your old men shall dream dreams, your young men 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.279 shall do what? Shall see visions. And we see 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.379 Peter now, will say in Acts chapter 2 now, after 00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:12.879 many years, right? That these things you see 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.299 happening, right? Prophet Joel spoke about it. 00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:20.200 And God was the one that spoke about such an 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.940 event that will happen. However, Right? When 00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:26.139 we are going to deal with the prophetic, we're 00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:27.799 going to come to this scripture. Because you 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.019 will understand that this same scripture was 00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:33.299 also fulfilled that time. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:37.379 That this scripture was what? Was fulfilled upon 00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:39.460 the children of Israelites as of that time too. 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:42.779 So, when we say the prophecy or prophetic word, 00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:45.639 we are not saying that the prophets spoke something, 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.419 right? And then God was waiting for ages, ages, 00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:53.289 ages, ages, ages, oh. Wait, when will this one 00:16:53.289 --> 00:16:56.250 happen? No, no, no, no, no. You see, even when 00:16:56.250 --> 00:16:58.289 they were speaking about the scriptures about 00:16:58.289 --> 00:17:00.769 Christ, you see, we're going to read it now. 00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:02.690 Let's read so that you'll see what I'm saying. 00:17:03.330 --> 00:17:07.150 So we establish, right, that prophecy, prophetia, 00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:10.549 prophetio, to prophesy, right? In the Hebrew 00:17:10.549 --> 00:17:14.849 word, prophecy is naba, N -A -B -A. Write it, 00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:19.750 naba. The same explanation, to speak by inspiration. 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.779 or to speak forth to another. Naba, N -A -B -A. 00:17:25.299 --> 00:17:31.000 N -A -B -A. Naba means to speak by inspiration 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:35.400 or to speak forth to another. To speak by inspiration 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:42.160 or to speak forth to what? To another. So when 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.319 you go in the Hebrew language, you're going to 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.420 see, probably you check some of your concordance, 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:53.519 you're going to see, That word prophesy is almost 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.660 about 114 to 115 times depending on the version 00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:02.319 that you're using. So it was used for the prophets 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.920 of God. Hallelujah. 85 % of those 114 to 115 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.440 times was used for what? For the prophets of 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.099 God. Let me put it this way. The servants of 00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:15.380 God. I have a reason why I'm saying the servants 00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:17.519 of God. Amen. Because I want to connect it to 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.730 something. So then we just have few, about 10 00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:28.750 % of it for non -prophets of God. So Luke 24, 00:18:28.849 --> 00:18:31.690 25 now, so that you see what I'm saying now in 00:18:31.690 --> 00:18:38.789 context. Luke 24, everybody let's go there. Luke 00:18:38.789 --> 00:18:51.599 24, verse 25. That the prophets have what? Have 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.480 spoken. Amen. 26 now. Ought not Christ to have 00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.539 what? Suffered these things and to do what? And 00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:04.220 to enter into his what? Into his glory. Amen. 00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:09.599 27. And beginning at prophet Moses and all the 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.480 prophets, he expounded unto them in how many 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.359 scriptures? All the scriptures, the things concerning 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:23.480 who? concerning himself. Hallelujah. So we see 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:28.220 that the focus of the prophets, amen, they prophesied 00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:31.059 the things concerning who? Concerning Christ. 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.579 Hallelujah. They didn't prophesy. So God or Jesus 00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:37.660 will come to go back to all their prophecies 00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:40.160 and then be able to teach the disciples or the 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.799 apostles as it were, right? And then be able 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:47.660 to bring to their understanding all the things 00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:49.440 that the prophets have spoken concerning who? 00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:57.480 Concerning himself. Concerning the redemptive 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.690 walk. However, They were not speaking at that 00:20:01.690 --> 00:20:04.569 time as though they were unsure about what will 00:20:04.569 --> 00:20:07.309 happen. Praise God. Even though they were speaking 00:20:07.309 --> 00:20:10.670 and Jesus didn't happen in their time. Amen. 00:20:10.829 --> 00:20:14.609 But they know or they knew that this thing truly 00:20:14.609 --> 00:20:19.509 is what? It has already been concluded. So how 00:20:19.509 --> 00:20:21.650 do we know? When we now read Hebrews chapter 00:20:21.650 --> 00:20:23.670 11. We are not going to read but write it down. 00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:26.369 Hebrews chapter 11 and then the first few verses 00:20:26.369 --> 00:20:31.109 of chapter 12. We will now be able to see that 00:20:31.109 --> 00:20:33.609 these men were not only speaking under the inspiration 00:20:33.609 --> 00:20:36.269 of God, but they were also speaking and also 00:20:36.269 --> 00:20:38.930 looking forward to it happening in their time. 00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:44.750 Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Are we all 00:20:44.750 --> 00:20:51.049 here? So the prophets were prophesying concerning 00:20:51.049 --> 00:20:58.150 God's promise of commitment. God's promise of 00:20:58.150 --> 00:21:01.779 what? Commitments regarding what he is fulfilling 00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:05.759 or what he will do in Christ. So they were not 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.319 just prophesying anyhow. No, those 85 % that 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.359 we say the prophets or the servants of God were 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.839 prophesying about God's commitments. Hallelujah. 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.619 What he has already fulfilled and what he is 00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:21.079 already doing in who? In Christ Jesus. Amen. 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.579 Please stay with me as we are moving. Romans 00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:28.349 chapter 1 verse 11 now. So the prophets were 00:21:28.349 --> 00:21:32.450 speaking concerning who? Concerning who? Concerning 00:21:32.450 --> 00:21:36.470 Christ. Amen. Romans chapter 1 verse 1. Let's 00:21:36.470 --> 00:21:39.329 quickly do a fast word study about the prophets 00:21:39.329 --> 00:21:42.049 now speaking. Romans chapter 1 verse 1. Paul, 00:21:42.150 --> 00:21:44.210 a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, 00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:47.210 separated unto the gospel of God, which he had 00:21:47.210 --> 00:21:51.750 promised what? A fourth time by his prophets 00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:56.299 in the holy scriptures. Concerning who? What 00:21:56.299 --> 00:22:00.839 has he promised? Concerning his son, Jesus Christ, 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.680 who? Our Lord, which was made the seed, made 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.460 of the seed of David, according to the flesh, 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.519 and declared to be the son of God with what? 00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.819 Power, according to the spirit of holiness, by 00:22:12.819 --> 00:22:16.000 the resurrection of what? From the dead. Hallelujah. 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.500 So what were they prophesying? They were prophesying 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:22.970 things concerning Jesus Christ. They were prophesying 00:22:22.970 --> 00:22:26.210 things that Jesus will be made the seed of David 00:22:26.210 --> 00:22:28.549 according to what? According to the flesh. Amen. 00:22:28.670 --> 00:22:31.849 They were prophesying and then declaring that 00:22:31.849 --> 00:22:34.569 Jesus is the son of God with what? With power. 00:22:34.769 --> 00:22:38.089 They were prophesying, right? Regarding the resurrection 00:22:38.089 --> 00:22:42.490 of Jesus from where? From the dead. Praise God. 00:22:43.130 --> 00:22:45.569 Hallelujah. You know, if you were in their time, 00:22:45.750 --> 00:22:47.829 you would say, are you sure this thing will happen? 00:22:50.029 --> 00:22:52.569 Praise God. I just said something now to someone 00:22:52.569 --> 00:22:55.390 now. In the little time that we have, when you 00:22:55.390 --> 00:22:58.950 receive a word of prophecy, right? Whether it's 00:22:58.950 --> 00:23:01.470 an instruction, whether it's a direction, whether 00:23:01.470 --> 00:23:03.890 it's a comfort, don't be, your first response 00:23:03.890 --> 00:23:07.269 should not be a doubt. You hear what I said? 00:23:07.390 --> 00:23:10.150 Your first response should not be a what? Your 00:23:10.150 --> 00:23:12.589 first response is that receive it first by faith. 00:23:13.049 --> 00:23:15.630 Hallelujah. One, receive it by thanksgiving. 00:23:15.690 --> 00:23:17.069 I'm just saying another thing now. Add it to 00:23:17.069 --> 00:23:19.480 my notes now. That when you receive a prophetic 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.279 word, your first response should not be a doubt. 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.660 Your first response should be what? You receive 00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:27.559 it with faith and then you receive it with thanksgiving. 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.980 You see, these things I just said now already 00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:40.059 cancel the effect of familiarity. Do you know 00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:42.539 a wife can prophesy to her husband and if the 00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:44.980 husband is not actually taught and trained, he 00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:47.779 will say, ah, ah. Sweetness, you have started. 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.559 You have come again. You, you know, you know 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.740 that how things have been. Now you are already 00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:57.160 saying all these, your big, big things. You see? 00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:02.640 The big, big things will happen. And we pray, 00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:05.519 not me, oh. Not this sweetness, oh. Another sweetness 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.099 somewhere. Amen? Because me, I'm part of the 00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:10.240 big, big things that will happen. Hallelujah. 00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:13.519 And that already happening. Amen? Praise God. 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.119 Yes. So your first response should not be a what? 00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:24.000 You say, oh, Prince, are you sure? This thing 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.720 you are saying. You know, some people, they even 00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:30.599 go to the extent, they say, I think somebody 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.579 gossiped my story to this person. That's why 00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:35.980 he's saying this thing. You know, there is no 00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:38.079 how you will know this thing. And then immediately 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:40.160 your mind starts doing one plus, one plus, two 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.920 plus, three plus. They say, ah, he's close to 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.599 Pastor Victor. Ah. Pastor Victor told him about 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.480 me. You see this church? That's why I don't like 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.839 this church. Somebody's story cannot be private. 00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:54.299 Good news. With the Holy Ghost, there's nothing 00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:57.779 about you that is private. Hallelujah. Once you 00:24:57.779 --> 00:25:00.660 need a help and direction, and God will be glorified 00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:02.940 in your life, He will respond to your needs. 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:08.420 Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. So 00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:10.279 the prophets prophesied concerning Christ, right? 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:19.690 Romans 16, 25. Romans 16, verse 25. Now to him 00:25:19.690 --> 00:25:22.190 that is of power to establish you according to 00:25:22.190 --> 00:25:24.450 my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, 00:25:24.549 --> 00:25:27.210 according to the revelation of the mystery, which 00:25:27.210 --> 00:25:30.769 was kept secret since the world, what? Began. 00:25:30.849 --> 00:25:35.190 26. But now is no more secret. Hallelujah. But 00:25:35.190 --> 00:25:38.950 now is no more what? Secret. Why? Because it's 00:25:38.950 --> 00:25:44.109 made what? Manifest. And by the scriptures of 00:25:44.109 --> 00:25:46.190 the prophets, according to the commandment of 00:25:46.190 --> 00:25:49.089 the everlasting God, made known to how many nations? 00:25:49.589 --> 00:25:53.730 To all nations for the obedience of what? Of 00:25:53.730 --> 00:25:57.210 faith. So the revealing of Jesus prophesied by 00:25:57.210 --> 00:26:00.049 the prophets is not for one man, it's for how 00:26:00.049 --> 00:26:03.349 many nations? For all nations. No wonder in Matthew 00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:06.329 28, Mark chapter 16, he will still tell them, 00:26:06.369 --> 00:26:09.910 go ye into how many nations? All nations because... 00:26:10.250 --> 00:26:13.369 Christ was not manifested for few. Christ was 00:26:13.369 --> 00:26:16.230 made manifest for how many nations? For all nations. 00:26:16.490 --> 00:26:19.069 So the prophets were not prophesying for a few. 00:26:19.269 --> 00:26:21.529 The prophets were prophesying for how many nations? 00:26:21.809 --> 00:26:24.490 For all nations. They were prophesying about 00:26:24.490 --> 00:26:27.509 God's commitment and his promise, what he is 00:26:27.509 --> 00:26:30.509 doing for all nations. That he is reconciling 00:26:30.509 --> 00:26:33.450 all nations back to himself. Hallelujah. That 00:26:33.450 --> 00:26:37.410 all nations carry his spirit. That is what is 00:26:37.410 --> 00:26:42.140 happening. And let me say it now, in a way, that 00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:45.299 till today, that is still happening. Amen? You 00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:47.539 see, and Jesus in Matthew chapter 9, and Jesus, 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.960 after he has moved from city to city, to synagogue 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.640 to synagogue, and then he came and he turned, 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.480 and then he saw the people, they were fainted. 00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:59.539 They were like sheep without what? Shefat. After 00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:01.420 he has healed, he has taught and preached from 00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:03.019 synagogue to synagogue, and then he turned to 00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:06.000 them. And he said, truly, the harvest is what? 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:09.980 Plentious, but the laborers are what? Few. Pray 00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:12.779 ye to the Lord of the harvest that he may what? 00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:16.039 Send forth laborers into his world. Hallelujah. 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.279 Say I'm a laborer. I'm a laborer. I'm a laborer. 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.579 I'm a laborer in God's harvest. And it's happening 00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:30.220 through me. Hallelujah. Praise God. 1 Peter 1 00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:36.660 .10. 1 Peter 1 .10. I hope we know the context 00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:38.980 of all that we are reading, right? All that the 00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:42.900 prophets have what? Prophesied. Amen. 1 Peter 00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:48.140 1 .10 Of which salvation the prophets have what? 00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:51.500 Inquire and say diligently, Who prophesied of 00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:55.119 what? Of the grace that shall what? That shall 00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.000 come to you, such in what manner, what manner 00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.160 of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them. 00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.839 We have already treated this in the cell meeting. 00:28:02.269 --> 00:28:05.069 Right? And also in the church here. Right? Because 00:28:05.069 --> 00:28:07.529 at this time, now the Spirit was not indwelling 00:28:07.529 --> 00:28:10.289 them. Right? The Spirit was what? Was upon them. 00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:12.250 Praise God. And if you have followed that, the 00:28:12.250 --> 00:28:14.390 time we are taking is under concerning spirituals. 00:28:14.490 --> 00:28:17.230 Right? And we say that the Spirit upon is for 00:28:17.230 --> 00:28:20.329 task. Right? For work, for assignment. Praise 00:28:20.329 --> 00:28:22.789 God. So in the Old Testament as it were, the 00:28:22.789 --> 00:28:24.730 Holy Ghost will come upon them for what? For 00:28:24.730 --> 00:28:39.769 a function. Praise God. Hallelujah. Does this 00:28:39.769 --> 00:28:43.730 place look like Luke 24? Does it look like Luke 00:28:43.730 --> 00:28:47.549 24? Praise God. Hallelujah. You see, the people 00:28:47.549 --> 00:28:50.619 that are following are able to respond. People 00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:53.059 that are following Luke 24.

Praise God. 00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:02.220 Okay, let's go to Luke 24 so that some people 00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:13.539 can be with us. Luke 24. Let's go to Luke 24, 00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:17.839 verse 25. So that's, hold your hand in 1 Peter, 00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:25.740 hold it, and then go to Luke 24. 26. Ought not 00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:29.460 Christ to have what? Suffered these things and 00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:33.640 to enter into his what? Into his glory. 1 Peter 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:35.619 chapter 1 now. Go to 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 00:29:35.619 --> 00:29:48.019 11. the sufferings of, and the glory that should. 00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:53.000 Does it align? Prophets speaking. Amen? Praise 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:59.720 God. Hallelujah. Hebrews chapter 1 verse 1. Hebrews 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:07.180 chapter 1 verse 1. God who at sundry times and 00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:09.779 in diverse manners spake in time past, unto who? 00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:14.039 The fathers by how? By the prophets.

Hallelujah. 00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:32.119 Praise God. So you see, that in the Old or in 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.640 the Scriptures, what we see happening regarding 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.559 prophecy or prophesy, that God will prophesy 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:39.940 through His servants called the who? The prophets. 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.839 Amen? Praise God. They are called the servants 00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.859 of God because they walk hand in hand with God. 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.880 How? By the Spirit of God. So they receive inspiration 00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:53.279 by the Spirit of God and they speak forth for 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.440 God. Amen? But what are they speaking forth? 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.299 They are speaking the things concerning who? 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:01.619 concerning Christ. Hallelujah. But do you know 00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:05.019 today, we are the servants of God and we also 00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:09.319 what? Prophesy. Hallelujah. Why and how? Because 00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:11.920 we have the Spirit of God indwelling in us. So 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:13.740 if you are writing, write it too. Write it this 00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:18.660 way in your note. That I am, I am a servant of 00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:22.240 God and I prophesy because I have the Spirit 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.799 of God indwelling in me. I am a servant of God. 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:33.660 And I prophesy because I have the Spirit of God 00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:41.119 dwelling in me or indwelling me. So every believer 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.079 has the ability to prophesy. Hallelujah. Every 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.759 believer, not one believer, not two believers, 00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.900 not three believers, all scriptures concerning 00:31:49.900 --> 00:31:55.079 Christ, we see prophesying. Hallelujah. All believers 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.859 that have received Christ, amen, They have the 00:31:58.859 --> 00:32:01.839 Spirit of God indwelling them. All of us.

We must 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:17.779 prophesy. Praise God. Hallelujah. Somebody just 00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:20.000 said in his heart, Sir, do you mean I can prophesy? 00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:23.660 Your answer, yes. Sir, how do you know I can 00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:25.880 prophesy? Because you have the Spirit of God. 00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:36.819 Where? dwelling in you. Praise God. Are we all 00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:40.660 here? Is it clear everybody? Is it clear everybody? 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.819 So all of us can prophesy because what?

So now, Acts chapter 2 verse 16. 00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:59.319 Let's go back there. Don't get tired because 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.900 we are going scriptures. Please don't forget 00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:04.319 we are talking about the gifts of what? The gifts 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:08.759 of prophecy. It's important that we establish 00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.980 this that every believer can prophesy. Why? Because 00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:15.240 we have the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Amen? Yes, 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.440 we can prophesy. 16. But this is that which was 00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:22.240 spoken by what? By the prophet. Joel, and it 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.099 shall come to pass in the last days, said God, 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.339 I will pour out of my what? Of my spirit, right? 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.380 Upon all flesh and your sons and your, this is 00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:38.039 how I always say, right? Right, with the Holy 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:41.599 Ghost, right? Nobody escapes it. Praise God. 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:45.319 With the Holy Ghost, nobody what? Escapes it. 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.339 Praise God. Every one of us can prophesy. Praise 00:33:49.339 --> 00:33:52.769 God. It's upon the sons, it's upon the daughters, 00:33:53.069 --> 00:33:55.470 it's upon the young men, it's upon the young 00:33:55.470 --> 00:33:58.369 women, it's upon the maidservants, it's upon 00:33:58.369 --> 00:34:02.730 the handmaidens. Hallelujah. Everyone, 18, I 00:34:02.730 --> 00:34:05.670 say, I will pour out in those days of my spirit 00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:11.869 and they shall all what? Prophesy. Praise God. 00:34:12.869 --> 00:34:15.530 So you see, the gift of prophecy is not left 00:34:15.530 --> 00:34:17.940 for major one. Or major three. I don't know how 00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:20.940 you came by or how they came by by giving those 00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:24.079 ranks. Right? And then suddenly now everybody 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:29.539 is looking up to major. Right? But if you are 00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:33.039 here, let me say this now to you. Probably, I 00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:36.199 will say it so that we can laugh. You are a major 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:42.719 prophet. Nobody should deceive you. You are what? 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:47.039 You are a major prophet. You know, I attended 00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.579 a church before I came to the island. This is 00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:53.840 like 11 years, 12 years ago. And then the man 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.159 was moving out. He was doing this. TV was showing 00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.260 everywhere. You know, actually, I accompanied 00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:03.599 my mom to the place. You know, our mothers, I 00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:05.019 don't know, for whatever reason, they like all 00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:07.849 these places. So I said, no, no, no, I'm not 00:35:07.849 --> 00:35:10.429 going. I said, you people, what do you know about 00:35:10.429 --> 00:35:12.809 Christ? You just entered university, went to 00:35:12.809 --> 00:35:15.650 NYC and came back. And they said, okay, Momsi, 00:35:15.710 --> 00:35:17.369 we'll call her Momsi. I said, Momsi, let's go. 00:35:17.429 --> 00:35:19.909 Let me accompany you there. You know, I was outside 00:35:19.909 --> 00:35:22.230 because we came late, so there's overflow. So 00:35:22.230 --> 00:35:24.329 we are overflowed by the dog. But you know, as 00:35:24.329 --> 00:35:26.849 the man was coming out, I knew in my spirit he 00:35:26.849 --> 00:35:30.150 was going to call me. So I was seated at the 00:35:30.150 --> 00:35:32.110 end, like the way Queen was seated, that way. 00:35:32.170 --> 00:35:34.190 There's nobody. You know, he came out this way. 00:35:34.949 --> 00:35:38.880 I said, The guy at the end, there's nobody I 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.300 had to turn and look at the... He said, no, no, 00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:43.139 I mean you, you, you, you, you. And you know, 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:47.480 his church is on TV. It's on satellite. So my 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:49.079 brother came back from church. They were now 00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:51.179 playing his station. They now saw that. They 00:35:51.179 --> 00:35:54.219 came at that time where the thing was on me. 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.199 I now stood up. He said, no, rise, rise, rise. 00:35:57.420 --> 00:36:00.619 I now stood up. Ah, I know again, NYC, we came 00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:03.679 with stubborn head. No, you can't use us and 00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:07.860 shine. You know, so, at the end there, he said, 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:12.699 do you know you're a smart chap? He's a chap. 00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:14.139 He used to say, I've not forgotten you till today. 00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.539 He said, do you know, do you know you're a smart 00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:19.440 chap? I was looking. My mom was sitting beside 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.460 me. She was looking to see. Maybe I'll go, hey, 00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:24.780 oh, it's true, papa. It's true. Wallahi, I was 00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:29.440 standing. He said, where are your documents? 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:32.059 I said, my documents, they are not with me. They 00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:34.349 are in Gwagwalada. You say, I can't see your 00:36:34.349 --> 00:36:37.090 documents. I can't see toilet tissue. All of 00:36:37.090 --> 00:36:42.210 them are tissue paper. I say, tissue paper? But 00:36:42.210 --> 00:36:47.469 I use them to apply for visa. You say, I see 00:36:47.469 --> 00:36:51.349 you in a white man's land. Oh, everybody knows 00:36:51.349 --> 00:36:53.949 I'm collecting visa. I'm going to white man's 00:36:53.949 --> 00:36:56.329 land. However, we're in the white man's land, 00:36:56.469 --> 00:37:02.079 amen? Amen. You know? So he finish. I did not 00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.800 do, hey, pray for me, Papa, pray for me, pray 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.639 for me. I went back and sat down. I saw my mom's 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.699 face change. You know, we came back home. The 00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:13.119 first thing, as we just entered the room, what 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:17.159 do I think? The man of God saw it by the Spirit. 00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:20.260 And I did not say, Papa, pray for me. I said, 00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:22.079 Mom, even native doctors will see that I'm going 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.000 to abroad. The information is not hidden in the 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:28.429 Spirit. Even my name, he will know it. So there's 00:37:28.429 --> 00:37:30.369 nothing spiritual. What do I mean by there's 00:37:30.369 --> 00:37:32.989 nothing? We, these children, we think we know. 00:37:33.070 --> 00:37:36.150 We think we know. My brothers and sisters, you 00:37:36.150 --> 00:37:39.250 know. I hope you heard what I'm saying. You do 00:37:39.250 --> 00:37:44.590 what? You know. Nobody should use you and shine. 00:37:50.030 --> 00:37:55.599 I see P. I see R. I see I. I can see. N, N, N, 00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:00.679 N, N. I see C. C, I see E. Yes, yes, yes. I see 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.139 C, C, C. Prince, prince, prince. Prince, you 00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:07.699 are... Yeah, I see N, N, I see... Ewo! Ewo! Have 00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:10.760 you forgotten your name? That you need somebody 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.000 to remind you. You see, I'm saying this now because 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:21.260 I will say something very important here. You 00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:22.920 see, the prophets were not talking about streets. 00:38:23.300 --> 00:38:25.800 All the places we read, did you see them talk 00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.019 about streets? Did you see them talk about anything 00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:31.380 natural, material? What were they speaking about? 00:38:31.659 --> 00:38:34.920 The things concerning who? Concerning Christ, 00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.559 right? And they were speaking for all nations, 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:39.659 things that God, God's promise, God's commitment 00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:42.739 to all nations, right? What He is doing in Christ 00:38:42.739 --> 00:38:45.500 Jesus, amen? The salvation He is bringing, praise 00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:47.780 God. Please hold these thoughts because I will 00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:49.800 say something that is important for every one 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.840 of us. Amen? Praise God. Please, these teachings 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:54.940 are going to save you from moving from one native 00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:57.019 doctor's house to another, trying to know who 00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:59.019 knows your name, who knows whether you should 00:38:59.019 --> 00:39:03.179 be in Canada or America. Come on now. If you 00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:04.860 are in any CF, say, I have grown past this level. 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:09.199 Say it. Say, I have grown past this level. Hallelujah. 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:12.719 Yes. When people call your name and say, I am 00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:16.300 what again? Don't begin to say, ah, I am on television. 00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:27.619 Don't say it. Let them see it. It has passed. 00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:33.760 Praise God. So he said now, upon all flesh. So 00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.059 the emphasis, upon what? Upon all flesh. So I 00:39:37.059 --> 00:39:38.820 said that when we read Acts chapter 2 because 00:39:38.820 --> 00:39:41.659 I was making an emphasis that every believer 00:39:41.659 --> 00:39:47.019 can what? Can prophesy. So prophecy or prophesying 00:39:47.019 --> 00:39:50.619 is not exclusive. It's not an exclusive gift 00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:54.920 for a few people. The Holy Ghost is not an exclusive 00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:58.360 gift for few people. So also the things of the 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.400 Holy Ghost or the gifts of the Holy Ghost is 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.730 not exclusive for only what? Few people. So you 00:40:04.730 --> 00:40:07.489 can write it. Prophecy or prophesying is not 00:40:07.489 --> 00:40:11.070 an exclusive gift. For what? For a few people. 00:40:11.389 --> 00:40:15.190 Are you writing, my sister? Come on, write. You 00:40:15.190 --> 00:40:17.989 have phone, write. I don't want to see you. If 00:40:17.989 --> 00:40:20.510 not, they will shine with you now. They will 00:40:20.510 --> 00:40:21.869 go and call your name. You will kneel down and 00:40:21.869 --> 00:40:28.170 be rolling on ground. So prophecy or prophesying 00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:31.730 is not what? It's not exclusive for what? for 00:40:31.730 --> 00:40:34.969 few people. It's for everyone, every believer. 00:40:36.869 --> 00:40:48.269 It's for every believer. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 00:40:48.269 --> 00:40:53.789 5. So now we'll start reading now. You now keep 00:40:53.789 --> 00:40:56.690 seeing. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 5. Every believer, 00:40:56.829 --> 00:40:59.170 every believer, the gifts of the Holy Ghost is 00:40:59.170 --> 00:41:02.110 not exclusive for a what? For a few people. It's 00:41:02.110 --> 00:41:05.230 for how many believers? Every believer. Why every 00:41:05.230 --> 00:41:07.929 believer? Because every believer has the Spirit 00:41:07.929 --> 00:41:12.409 of God. Amen? Why I say prophecy is for every 00:41:12.409 --> 00:41:15.250 believer is because every believer has what? 00:41:15.710 --> 00:41:18.590 The spirit of what? The spirit of God. And if 00:41:18.590 --> 00:41:21.449 every believer has the spirit of God, it means 00:41:21.449 --> 00:41:24.250 every believer has the gifts of the spirit of 00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:27.110 who? The spirit of God. Do we understand? Okay, 00:41:27.210 --> 00:41:31.090 praise God. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 5. If it's 00:41:31.090 --> 00:41:32.869 your Bible, please walk with me and then be on 00:41:32.869 --> 00:41:37.250 the line in it. Verse 5. I will that few of you 00:41:37.250 --> 00:41:39.349 spoke in tongues. Is that what your scripture 00:41:39.349 --> 00:41:42.849 say? How many of you? Please be on the line in 00:41:42.849 --> 00:41:50.849 the word all. I would that ye all speak with 00:41:50.849 --> 00:41:54.730 what? Tongues. But rather that ye all do what? 00:41:55.650 --> 00:41:59.070 Prophesy. For greater is he that prophesied than 00:41:59.070 --> 00:42:01.750 he that speaketh with what? With tongues, except 00:42:01.750 --> 00:42:04.469 he interprets, and that the church may receive 00:42:04.469 --> 00:42:07.469 what? A defying. And during the Karatis Mosque, 00:42:07.530 --> 00:42:09.610 we said that he wasn't saying that prophecy is 00:42:09.610 --> 00:42:11.610 greater than what? Than tongues. Hallelujah. 00:42:12.090 --> 00:42:14.110 So what he was bringing to the church of the 00:42:14.110 --> 00:42:16.869 Corinthians is that when I prophesy, I bring 00:42:16.869 --> 00:42:20.849 benefits more to the church. Amen? And the same 00:42:20.849 --> 00:42:23.389 way I will bring benefit through prophecy, that 00:42:23.389 --> 00:42:26.590 is how when I give tongues and what? Interpretation, 00:42:26.630 --> 00:42:29.329 such benefits also what? Comes to the church. 00:42:29.469 --> 00:42:32.809 And he calls that benefit edification, edifying. 00:42:33.630 --> 00:42:35.969 And we checked, if you remember in Catechismos, 00:42:35.969 --> 00:42:39.289 that edification means what? To build. Hallelujah. 00:42:39.949 --> 00:42:43.250 Praise God. Are we all here? Okay, perfect now. 00:42:43.869 --> 00:42:46.949 So you have underlined all, right? So which means 00:42:46.949 --> 00:42:51.289 all can speak in tongues. All can what? Prophesy. 00:42:51.769 --> 00:42:58.030 1424 now. 1 Corinthians 1424. Everybody. But 00:42:58.030 --> 00:43:02.469 if all. 1 Corinthians 1424. Please, if it's your 00:43:02.469 --> 00:43:04.349 Bible, still underline it. But how many all? 00:43:04.809 --> 00:43:09.559 If all do what? Prophesy. And there come in one 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:12.800 that believeth not all. One unlearned. He is 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:17.079 convinced of how many? Of all. He is what? He 00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:19.539 is judge of all. 25. And thus are the secrets 00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:23.380 of his heart made what? Manifest. And so, falling 00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:25.960 down on his face, he will do what? Worship God 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.739 and report that God is where? Is in you of what? 00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:34.099 Of a truth. Right? Because in the charismos we 00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:36.420 learned that tongues and interpretation of tongues 00:43:36.420 --> 00:43:39.300 is equal to what? Prophecy. And every time we 00:43:39.300 --> 00:43:42.900 prophesy, we are bringing God's mind, right? 00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.920 Or we are bringing instructions that the mind 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:51.059 can be able to what? Understand. So, when we 00:43:51.059 --> 00:43:55.300 gather and then an unbeliever come in among us, 00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:57.639 that's what the verse is saying, and then a prophecy 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.579 is given, so which means his mind can also what? 00:44:01.019 --> 00:44:04.179 can understand. So certain things about him are 00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:08.179 being spoken of from God. Amen? And the end of 00:44:08.179 --> 00:44:11.400 what will happen to him, he will fall down on 00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.800 his face and do what? And worship God and report 00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:20.159 that God is in you of a what? Of a truth. We're 00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:22.780 going to read other verses that when they come 00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:25.800 and then we only do tongues. Unbelievers now. 00:44:25.900 --> 00:44:28.119 And there is no interpretation. They will say, 00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.489 are all not these ones foolish people? And then 00:44:31.489 --> 00:44:33.349 they are barbarians and then they are just babbling 00:44:33.349 --> 00:44:37.610 things. Right? Okay, we are coming to that. So, 00:44:37.610 --> 00:44:42.690 all prophesy. Amen. All do what? Prophesy. Amen. 00:44:42.909 --> 00:44:46.369 All speak in tongues and what? Interpret the 00:44:46.369 --> 00:44:49.409 tongues. Are we all here? Are we all here? Verse 00:44:49.409 --> 00:44:54.750 26 now. How is it then brethren? When you come 00:44:54.750 --> 00:44:57.489 together, every... Can you see it in your Bible? 00:44:58.030 --> 00:45:01.750 How many of you? Every one of you had a what? 00:45:02.889 --> 00:45:05.550 Psalm. Please, let's read it this way. Let's 00:45:05.550 --> 00:45:06.949 read it this way. Go to your Bible, everybody. 00:45:07.570 --> 00:45:10.610 Say, read it this way. How is it, brethren? When 00:45:10.610 --> 00:45:13.110 you come together, every one of you had a psalm. 00:45:13.110 --> 00:45:15.690 Every one of you had a doctrine. Every one of 00:45:15.690 --> 00:45:17.829 you had a tongue. Every one of you had a revelation. 00:45:18.250 --> 00:45:21.630 Every one of you had an interpretation. Let all 00:45:21.630 --> 00:45:24.969 things be done unto what? A defying. Praise God. 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:27.679 Because that verse is not saying some of you 00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:30.559 have psalm, some of you have doctrine, some of 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.800 you have tongue, some of you have revelation, 00:45:33.019 --> 00:45:36.179 some of you have interpretation. No. That scripture 00:45:36.179 --> 00:45:40.079 is saying that every one of you had a psalm. 00:45:40.460 --> 00:45:45.179 So all of us sitting here, we have a psalm, we 00:45:45.179 --> 00:45:47.980 have a what? We have a doctrine, we have a tongue, 00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:51.599 we have a revelation, we have what? Interpretation 00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:55.969 of what? And let all things be done unto what? 00:45:56.869 --> 00:46:00.230 Edifying. Does this place look like verse 5 where 00:46:00.230 --> 00:46:03.909 we came from? That when we prophesy, we edify 00:46:03.909 --> 00:46:06.690 the church? That when we give tongues and interpretation 00:46:06.690 --> 00:46:10.210 of tongues, we edify the church? Okay. Praise 00:46:10.210 --> 00:46:14.650 God. Hallelujah. Amen. So, why are all these 00:46:14.650 --> 00:46:16.969 things happening? Because all the diversities 00:46:16.969 --> 00:46:20.789 of the gifts of the Holy Ghost are resident in 00:46:20.789 --> 00:46:25.099 the believer. Praise God. The work of the Holy 00:46:25.099 --> 00:46:28.440 Ghost is in and through the believer. In fact, 00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:31.880 if you are writing this, I'll write it. The work 00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:35.579 and the function of the Holy Ghost is in and 00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:42.400 through me. The work of the Holy Spirit is in 00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:45.909 and what? And through me. So the Holy Ghost is 00:46:45.909 --> 00:46:48.389 working in me. And the Holy Ghost is working 00:46:48.389 --> 00:46:51.110 what? Is working through me. The Holy Ghost is 00:46:51.110 --> 00:46:53.489 giving a psalm in me. The Holy Ghost is giving 00:46:53.489 --> 00:46:55.789 a psalm through me. The Holy Ghost is giving 00:46:55.789 --> 00:46:58.369 a prophecy in me. The Holy Ghost is prophesying 00:46:58.369 --> 00:47:00.949 through me. The Holy Ghost is giving interpretation 00:47:00.949 --> 00:47:03.349 in me. The Holy Ghost is giving interpretation 00:47:03.349 --> 00:47:06.489 through me. The Holy Ghost is bringing edification 00:47:06.489 --> 00:47:10.050 in me. The Holy Ghost is edifying through me. 00:47:10.190 --> 00:47:14.400 Hallelujah. Are we all here? Are we all here? 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:20.280 Praise God. Hallelujah. Because when we read 00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:27.340 verse 4 now, 1 Corinthians 14 verse 4. See now, 00:47:27.460 --> 00:47:30.760 why we said that now. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:38.219 4. Is everybody there? Can we read it this way? 00:47:38.260 --> 00:47:42.260 Let me show us how to read it. For when I speak 00:47:42.260 --> 00:47:45.980 in an unknown tongue, I edify myself. But when 00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:51.019 I prophesy, I edify NECF. Can we read it that 00:47:51.019 --> 00:47:53.980 way? Can we read it that way, everybody? Can 00:47:53.980 --> 00:47:58.159 we read it that way? 1, 2, go. Verse 4. When 00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.699 I speak in tongues, yes, I edify myself. But 00:48:02.699 --> 00:48:06.719 when I prophesy, I do what? I don't put you on. 00:48:06.780 --> 00:48:12.190 I edify NECF. You remember in Charismos what 00:48:12.190 --> 00:48:14.389 we have learned regarding tongues, right? That 00:48:14.389 --> 00:48:16.150 when the believer is having a tongue. Let's go 00:48:16.150 --> 00:48:18.969 to verse 1, everybody. Verse 2. For he that speaketh 00:48:18.969 --> 00:48:21.429 in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto what? 00:48:21.530 --> 00:48:24.769 Not unto humanity. Hallelujah. You remember from 00:48:24.769 --> 00:48:26.710 our teaching, right? But he speaketh unto what? 00:48:27.250 --> 00:48:31.070 Unto God. How be it for no man do what? Understand. 00:48:32.349 --> 00:48:34.409 What is it that the man does not understand? 00:48:34.869 --> 00:48:37.750 Humanity does not understand the tongue. Amen. 00:48:38.460 --> 00:48:41.480 Hallelujah. But now he said that, how be it in 00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.119 the spirit, he's speaking what? Mysteries. Mysterion. 00:48:45.420 --> 00:48:49.420 Amen. So in the teaching, we've learned that 00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:52.460 what the believer is having with God, the believer 00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:55.800 is having an elevated discussion. He's having 00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.400 an audience with who? With God. Praise God. He's 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.119 having an audience with God. So when humanity 00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:05.619 is around him, they cannot be able to do what? 00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:08.980 Understand what he's saying until he interprets 00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:13.739 what he's saying. However, verse 4 now, let's 00:49:13.739 --> 00:49:23.139 tie it to verse 4. Verse 4, that verse 4 say 00:49:23.139 --> 00:49:26.820 what? What is he doing? Another word for edifying. 00:49:27.579 --> 00:49:34.260 He is building himself. Why? Because he has audience 00:49:34.260 --> 00:49:39.380 with God and not with humanity. There's a discussion 00:49:39.380 --> 00:49:41.320 that is happening between him and God and not 00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:53.539 with humanity. He is building himself. But now 00:49:53.539 --> 00:49:58.150 where he prophesies? Suddenly now, everybody 00:49:58.150 --> 00:50:06.070 will go glory. Why? The mind is no more unfruitful 00:50:06.070 --> 00:50:09.369 again. Hallelujah. The understanding is fruitful 00:50:09.369 --> 00:50:12.670 because that which was spoken between the man 00:50:12.670 --> 00:50:16.210 and God, now understanding is brought and everybody 00:50:16.210 --> 00:50:19.590 can be able to what? Be edified. So when we shout 00:50:19.590 --> 00:50:24.199 glory. It's because our understanding now has 00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.960 received that which has been conversed between 00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:33.599 the man and God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Must 00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:37.780 every Christian speak in tongues? Must every 00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:42.059 Christian speak in tongues? Thank you. Praise 00:50:42.059 --> 00:50:51.809 God. 14 .6 now. See 14 .6. Now, brethren, if 00:50:51.809 --> 00:50:55.190 I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall 00:50:55.190 --> 00:51:15.090 I what? What shall I profit you? So what did 00:51:15.090 --> 00:51:26.800 I say, man of God? Did I profit you? That's what 00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:31.019 Paul was saying. That if I come to you in tongues, 00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:35.519 what shall I what? Profite you. Except I do what? 00:51:36.340 --> 00:51:40.079 Speak to you either by what? Revelation or by 00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:43.380 knowledge or by prophesying or by what? Or by 00:51:43.380 --> 00:52:04.900 doctrine. Hallelujah. For I perceive in my spirit 00:52:04.900 --> 00:52:07.440 that the Lord is saying, Oh, I'm strengthening 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:10.199 you. I'm bringing more strength to you. I'm taking 00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:12.840 your feet beyond your imagination. There are 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.940 certain desires. There are certain expectations 00:52:14.940 --> 00:52:17.440 regarding the places you want to step your feet 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.300 upon. I'm taking you there. Believe me. Believe 00:52:20.300 --> 00:52:23.099 me. I'm holding your right hand. I make things 00:52:23.099 --> 00:52:26.000 possible. All those things that you see that 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.699 look like big and you're asking, when shall these 00:52:28.699 --> 00:52:31.440 things be? When shall these things happen? I 00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:35.440 am making them happen speedily. Glory to God. 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:42.909 You see, now he's understanding. He's profited. 00:52:43.690 --> 00:52:45.869 There is fruitfulness that has come to him now. 00:52:46.329 --> 00:52:49.369 And then now faith is stirred up. Faith is stirred 00:52:49.369 --> 00:52:51.389 up. Faith is stirred up. You know, in between. 00:52:51.550 --> 00:52:53.909 And then suddenly, there's a faith that is stirring. 00:52:54.210 --> 00:52:58.090 Maybe he came here doubting. Maybe he came here 00:52:58.090 --> 00:53:00.449 asking questions. Suddenly now the Holy Ghost 00:53:00.449 --> 00:53:03.150 is bringing answers. The Holy Ghost is bringing 00:53:03.150 --> 00:53:06.429 comfort. The Holy Ghost. Why? Verse 6. That is 00:53:06.429 --> 00:53:09.789 why Paul said, Except I speak with what? I come 00:53:09.789 --> 00:53:14.409 to you by what? revelation. Next is what? By 00:53:14.409 --> 00:53:18.550 knowledge or by what? Or by what? Have you noticed 00:53:18.550 --> 00:53:22.789 revelation, knowledge, prophesying, doctrine, 00:53:22.969 --> 00:53:28.309 writing, all of them brings, let me put it this 00:53:28.309 --> 00:53:29.409 way, it's not in my notebook, but let me put 00:53:29.409 --> 00:53:32.449 it this way, brings fruitfulness to the understanding 00:53:32.449 --> 00:53:40.190 of the receiver. Are we all here? Are we all 00:53:40.190 --> 00:53:50.510 here? Revelation, knowledge, prophesying, doctrine, 00:53:50.630 --> 00:53:53.849 all of them bring fruitfulness to the understanding 00:53:53.849 --> 00:53:56.809 of what? Of the receiver. You see, that is why 00:53:56.809 --> 00:54:00.050 there was a heavy emphasis in the Karatismos 00:54:00.050 --> 00:54:02.789 that do not just only speak in tongues, but speak 00:54:02.789 --> 00:54:07.869 in tongues and words. But now, speak in tongues 00:54:07.869 --> 00:54:17.909 and words. Praise God. And in the Charismos, 00:54:17.929 --> 00:54:23.369 we said revelation. Revelation is the word apocalypsis, 00:54:23.369 --> 00:54:28.269 which implies disclosure, uncover. Revelation. 00:54:28.789 --> 00:54:30.929 Please, you can write it very fast. Let's go. 00:54:31.329 --> 00:54:35.449 Revelation is the word apocalypsis, which implies 00:54:35.449 --> 00:54:40.610 disclosure. uncover, to lay open. Can you see 00:54:40.610 --> 00:54:42.550 why it brings fruitfulness to the understanding, 00:54:42.710 --> 00:54:46.090 right? Because now the information, the instruction 00:54:46.090 --> 00:54:49.769 is open. Revelation is the word apokalipsis. 00:54:49.809 --> 00:54:56.409 A -P -O -K -A -L -Y -P -S -I -S A -P -O -K -A 00:54:56.409 --> 00:55:00.909 -L -Y -P -S -I -S Apokalipsis, which implies 00:55:00.909 --> 00:55:05.050 disclosure. to uncover, to lay open what has 00:55:05.050 --> 00:55:09.730 been veiled, to lay open what has been veiled, 00:55:09.989 --> 00:55:14.010 to make manifests, hallelujah, what has been 00:55:14.010 --> 00:55:18.750 hidden. Praise God. So the understanding is fruitful. 00:55:20.849 --> 00:55:27.349 Knowledge is the word gnosis, G -N -O -S -I -S. 00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:34.059 G -N -O -S -R -S, which implies insight or experiential 00:55:34.059 --> 00:55:39.159 knowledge of facts, places, people, events, time. 00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:45.579 It implies insight or experiential knowledge 00:55:45.579 --> 00:55:50.039 of people, right? Information about people, places, 00:55:50.380 --> 00:55:54.900 events, time. So you see, when that kind of information 00:55:54.900 --> 00:55:56.920 comes to you, your understanding can take it, 00:55:56.960 --> 00:56:00.389 right? It's not going to be strange to your mind. 00:56:00.530 --> 00:56:05.250 Are we all here? Doctrine. Doctrine implies instruction. 00:56:05.570 --> 00:56:11.730 Just write instruction. Are we all here? Are 00:56:11.730 --> 00:56:14.849 we all here? Then prophesying. We've handled 00:56:14.849 --> 00:56:26.769 prophesying. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 00:56:28.799 --> 00:56:32.019 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So we see, from all that 00:56:32.019 --> 00:56:34.320 we are learning, is that what? Prophecy is for 00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.039 how many believers? For all believers. Hallelujah. 00:56:37.940 --> 00:56:39.780 And let me just write this now. It's not here, 00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:41.460 but let me just, as it's coming to my head, write 00:56:41.460 --> 00:56:51.699 it now. Prophecy is for all believers. Prophecy 00:56:51.699 --> 00:56:59.900 is for all believers. and to make all receivers 00:56:59.900 --> 00:57:05.500 fruitful. Prophecy is for all believers and to 00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:20.340 make all receivers fruitful. So we see that prophecy 00:57:20.340 --> 00:57:23.179 as it were is turns an interpretation of what? 00:57:23.300 --> 00:57:28.110 An interpretation So an interpretation of tongues. 00:57:28.269 --> 00:57:31.449 So when we see the prophecy or when we see prophecy 00:57:31.449 --> 00:57:35.050 in operation, what we are seeing directly is 00:57:35.050 --> 00:57:37.309 tongues and what? Interpretation of tongues. 00:57:37.389 --> 00:57:40.550 So probably in the next few minutes, when we 00:57:40.550 --> 00:57:43.170 say turn to your right and to your left and prophesy, 00:57:43.170 --> 00:57:46.090 and somebody goes and then give a tongue and 00:57:46.090 --> 00:57:48.130 then interpret it and tell you what he's receiving, 00:57:48.289 --> 00:57:51.690 he's already prophesying to you. Amen. And somebody 00:57:51.690 --> 00:57:53.829 may not do tongues and interpretation of tongues. 00:57:53.929 --> 00:57:57.050 He will just go directly and speak to you. You 00:57:57.050 --> 00:57:59.570 see, it's not always that when we say, can you 00:57:59.570 --> 00:58:05.289 give him a word? You have to go. How about if 00:58:05.289 --> 00:58:06.909 you're inside the bus and everybody is there? 00:58:07.010 --> 00:58:12.309 Will you start that kind of drama? No, no, no, 00:58:12.409 --> 00:58:14.690 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You have gifts 00:58:14.690 --> 00:58:17.929 and interpretation of tongues in you. And you 00:58:17.929 --> 00:58:22.079 also have what? The gift of what? Prophecy. Sir, 00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:26.360 can I give tongues and interpret it? Yes. Can 00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:30.300 I also prophesy? Yes. All of them are what? The 00:58:30.300 --> 00:58:34.440 same thing. Why? Because your mind or the understanding 00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:39.619 what? Is profited. So it's not always that. My 00:58:39.619 --> 00:58:48.500 son, my son. My son, my son. You know we have 00:58:48.500 --> 00:58:50.119 heard all those things in all those crusades 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:51.719 that we're having? You see the lady will roll, 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:53.300 roll, roll, roll. Say, leave her, leave her. 00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:54.900 The Spirit of God is upon her. The Spirit of 00:58:54.900 --> 00:59:01.199 God shall roll. Yes, he's speaking now. He's 00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:02.900 speaking. He's speaking. And then the next thing 00:59:02.900 --> 00:59:07.239 you hear is that Jesus is coming soon. Repent. 00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:10.340 Repent. Say, everybody quiet. The Spirit of the 00:59:10.340 --> 00:59:13.059 Lord is speaking. He's speaking. He's speaking. 00:59:13.420 --> 00:59:18.659 Everybody. Write it. The Spirit of the Lord does 00:59:18.659 --> 00:59:22.239 not need to do drama before he brings forth the 00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:29.420 mind of God to us. When we come to the prophetic, 00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:33.099 you understand that we can tap you from sleep 00:59:33.099 --> 00:59:36.539 and say prophesy and you prophesy without brushing 00:59:36.539 --> 00:59:40.099 your teeth. The Spirit of the Lord, this is what 00:59:40.099 --> 00:59:42.159 I said, the Spirit of the Lord does not need 00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:46.199 to do drama. before he brings forth the mind 00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:52.179 of God to his church. In fact, let me say this 00:59:52.179 --> 00:59:55.099 now. Oftentimes when we see that kind of drama, 00:59:55.239 --> 01:00:02.639 we term it as a demonic manifestation. Get out 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.760 of here in Jesus' name. I'm telling you, most 01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:09.300 times you see demons. Once you give that instruction, 01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:11.219 you will see the person will start rolling more, 01:00:11.340 --> 01:00:13.239 rolling more, rolling more. Pastor Vito knows 01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:14.800 what we will do. We will always carry church 01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:20.920 people out of the church. Then I will go take 01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:24.139 you to the back. One of these days, we are treating 01:00:24.139 --> 01:00:25.480 this because we are going to start all these 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.300 things. We will just say, Polo, Polo, you and 01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:33.760 Dr. Mayowa, please, can you just go deal with 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.500 this person? Let's continue what we are doing 01:00:36.500 --> 01:00:40.539 here. And after like maybe two minutes, we don't 01:00:40.539 --> 01:00:44.340 expect you to do seven hours there. Yes. After 01:00:44.340 --> 01:00:46.360 two minutes, we'll now see the person coming 01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:51.820 back. Cleaning their body. Cleaning their body. 01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:53.380 And say, what happened to me? Say, no, nothing 01:00:53.380 --> 01:00:55.860 happened to you. We just got a demon out of you. 01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:06.880 Sir, is that simple that way? Yes. Are we all 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:12.389 here? Yes, so let's read this scripture and then 01:01:12.389 --> 01:01:18.929 for this session, we'll hold it here. When we 01:01:18.929 --> 01:01:22.949 come in the next session, we'll build from there. 01:01:29.829 --> 01:01:33.469 Sorry, let me get it from 1 Corinthians here. 01:01:37.710 --> 01:01:54.389 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3. I've closed my Bible. 01:01:55.710 --> 01:02:06.840 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3. Praise God. Yes. But 01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:13.019 he that prophesied, speaketh what? Unto men, 01:02:13.260 --> 01:02:21.619 number one. When prophecy comes, for what? Edification? 01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:27.639 Let's read together, oh. And exhortation? And 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:33.019 what? Come for next verse. He that speaketh what? 01:02:33.500 --> 01:02:36.019 In an unknown tongue, he defied himself, but 01:02:36.019 --> 01:02:39.159 he that prophesied what? He defied what? The 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:41.519 church. Previous verse, so that we can see it 01:02:41.519 --> 01:02:43.679 now because I want to say something. Thank you. 01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:50.079 He that prophesied, speaketh what? Unto men. 01:02:50.780 --> 01:02:57.000 Why? So that what? Men can be what? So when you 01:02:57.000 --> 01:02:59.260 are receiving prophecy in the next minute, don't 01:02:59.260 --> 01:03:01.809 take my time, please. Don't take it. Who is controlling 01:03:01.809 --> 01:03:03.530 the time? Don't take it, please. Just two minutes. 01:03:03.909 --> 01:03:06.090 Don't take it. Because we'll do something, please. 01:03:06.949 --> 01:03:13.050 So, which means that when I prophesy, men, receiver, 01:03:13.130 --> 01:03:15.210 the people that are receiving now, to your left 01:03:15.210 --> 01:03:17.969 and right, right? You're going to bring what? 01:03:18.570 --> 01:03:22.969 Edification, exhortation, and what? And comfort. 01:03:25.389 --> 01:03:36.340 Let me say something now. Sorry. So if you check 01:03:36.340 --> 01:03:40.360 that place, right? You see, it tells us edification 01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:47.699 and exhortation and comfort. Edification is a 01:03:47.699 --> 01:03:53.119 compound word for exhortation and what? And comfort. 01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:59.159 Edification, what? It's an encompassing word. 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:10.710 For what? For exhortation and comfort. So the 01:04:10.710 --> 01:04:12.789 word comfort, write this fast, please. We're 01:04:12.789 --> 01:04:14.710 going to do something now. Very soon, we're going 01:04:14.710 --> 01:04:16.289 to stand up and then do something very fast. 01:04:16.489 --> 01:04:21.369 The word comfort, it implies to provide help. 01:04:23.469 --> 01:04:31.030 To provide what? Help. It's not that comfort 01:04:31.030 --> 01:04:33.510 that, you know, something has happened, yes, 01:04:33.590 --> 01:04:37.210 to somebody, pity. You say, hey, take heart, 01:04:37.429 --> 01:04:41.030 you know. Something, no, you know, just be, there's 01:04:41.030 --> 01:04:43.710 another second chance. No, no, no, no, no, no, 01:04:43.710 --> 01:04:46.650 no. If you check the original word, it's not 01:04:46.650 --> 01:04:49.929 pity. You're not coming to pity. He said, hey, 01:04:50.030 --> 01:04:55.349 my sister, queen. Ah, the spirit of God has pity 01:04:55.349 --> 01:05:00.510 on you. And God is saying, receive my love. Receive 01:05:00.510 --> 01:05:08.550 it. Ah, ah. The word comfort, to provide what? 01:05:08.769 --> 01:05:14.789 To provide help, exhortation. And the word exhortation 01:05:14.789 --> 01:05:21.829 means to stand by someone. To stand by someone. 01:05:23.090 --> 01:05:25.849 So which means the information that is being 01:05:25.849 --> 01:05:29.489 spoken via prophecy, it gives help. When we say 01:05:29.489 --> 01:05:33.989 help, it gives guidance. Amen? It gives guidance. 01:05:34.190 --> 01:05:38.230 It gives direction. It gives encouragement to 01:05:38.230 --> 01:05:44.389 the believer. So the word spoken via prophecy, 01:05:44.630 --> 01:05:48.590 it gives what? Guidance, right? It gives what? 01:05:49.289 --> 01:05:53.269 It gives direction. And it gives what? Encouragement 01:05:53.269 --> 01:05:58.030 to who? To the believer. So the believer now 01:05:58.030 --> 01:06:01.949 has counsel. He has direction. Why? He has received 01:06:01.949 --> 01:06:07.530 what? Did you see fear in that place? Did you 01:06:07.530 --> 01:06:11.329 see anxiety in that place? Did you see worry 01:06:11.329 --> 01:06:15.610 in that place? Did you see anything like, oh, 01:06:15.869 --> 01:06:20.190 my life is finished in that place? Good. Even 01:06:20.190 --> 01:06:21.369 though we're going to treat it now when we're 01:06:21.369 --> 01:06:23.750 talking about the prophetic in detail, when we're 01:06:23.750 --> 01:06:26.550 talking about judging prophecies or how to judge 01:06:26.550 --> 01:06:33.880 prophecy. No prophecy will come to bring fear 01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:38.119 to you. When prophecies come and they bring fear 01:06:38.119 --> 01:06:43.260 to you, they are not from Jesus. I hope you heard 01:06:43.260 --> 01:06:46.960 what I'm saying. When prophecies come and they 01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.019 bring fear to you, they are not from who? When 01:06:50.019 --> 01:06:53.219 prophecies come and they bring anxiety to you, 01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:56.469 they are not from the Holy Ghost. When prophecy 01:06:56.469 --> 01:07:00.869 come and they put so much worry and burden in 01:07:00.869 --> 01:07:04.230 your heart, they are not what? They are not from 01:07:04.230 --> 01:07:08.329 the Holy Ghost. Prophetic words or prophetic 01:07:08.329 --> 01:07:11.869 sayings will bring comfort. They will bring what? 01:07:12.309 --> 01:07:15.380 Exhortation. Hallelujah. They will bring guidance. 01:07:15.820 --> 01:07:18.599 They will bring help to you. You will realize 01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.320 that God has not left you. Hallelujah. You will 01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:23.980 realize that God is standing with you and God 01:07:23.980 --> 01:07:28.420 is where? And God is in you. I just told us now 01:07:28.420 --> 01:07:31.900 how to judge prophecies. Amen. So when somebody 01:07:31.900 --> 01:07:33.539 now, because we are rising to our feet now, rise 01:07:33.539 --> 01:07:36.699 to your feet. When somebody gives now a word 01:07:36.699 --> 01:07:39.679 of prophecy to you and then suddenly now you 01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:41.360 are beginning to see, don't worry, when we come 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:44.360 to... the prophetic, we're going to learn how 01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:47.659 to be able, let me say it this way, how to be 01:07:47.659 --> 01:07:51.280 able to say what you are receiving from your 01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:54.539 spirit, right? To your receiver, to edify him. 01:07:54.619 --> 01:07:57.960 Hallelujah. So we need to be taught. We need 01:07:57.960 --> 01:08:10.480 to be what? We need to be taught. You know, somebody 01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:13.139 will just receive a word in his heart and then 01:08:13.139 --> 01:08:17.020 to warn a brother and tell him that, you know, 01:08:17.020 --> 01:08:20.399 God is saying, let me put it this way. Maybe 01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:22.819 the person has prayed as we pray. We're going 01:08:22.819 --> 01:08:28.220 to pray now. Clearly, he received a prophetic 01:08:28.220 --> 01:08:32.939 word that this person is living in outright iniquity. 01:08:32.939 --> 01:08:37.960 In fact, he just came from one of the clubs along 01:08:37.960 --> 01:08:42.449 Alakoi Road. And then he just come. He say, I'm 01:08:42.449 --> 01:08:44.569 not going to anybody, so I'm just going there. 01:08:46.430 --> 01:08:51.170 After they held their hand, you just say, God 01:08:51.170 --> 01:08:55.369 said, let me warn you. If you don't receive, 01:08:55.670 --> 01:08:59.270 if you don't stop what you're doing, soon time 01:08:59.270 --> 01:09:07.590 will catch up with you. Jesus will never do that. 01:09:07.630 --> 01:09:12.819 Praise God. So we need to be taught how to what? 01:09:13.100 --> 01:09:16.220 How to communicate that which we are what? Which 01:09:16.220 --> 01:09:18.220 we are receiving. Let me say it now. We have 01:09:18.220 --> 01:09:21.779 learned one now. When you receive a thing and 01:09:21.779 --> 01:09:24.720 the instruction you are receiving is a warning. 01:09:25.420 --> 01:09:28.979 Right? God say, I must tell you that you should 01:09:28.979 --> 01:09:34.779 not be stupid. No. Amen. One of the ways. Are 01:09:34.779 --> 01:09:36.520 you receiving instruction from the Holy Ghost? 01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:39.930 Yes. Do you have a mind? Yes. Do you have an 01:09:39.930 --> 01:09:42.569 understanding? Yes. But it is in your responsibility 01:09:42.569 --> 01:09:45.569 to ensure that what you are receiving is converted 01:09:45.569 --> 01:09:49.949 to edification. That my brother is what? Is edified. 01:09:50.149 --> 01:09:52.109 So I will come and say, the spirit of the Lord 01:09:52.109 --> 01:09:54.569 is saying, right? The Lord says he loves you. 01:09:55.250 --> 01:09:57.630 And he's saying that, remember, he gave his son 01:09:57.630 --> 01:10:00.130 for you. And he's saying that the life that he 01:10:00.130 --> 01:10:04.149 has given for you is a precious blood. And he's 01:10:04.149 --> 01:10:06.489 saying that, turn away. Don't stay so much on 01:10:06.489 --> 01:10:08.569 that path because he has been calling you. He 01:10:08.569 --> 01:10:10.890 has been speaking to your heart. You see, as 01:10:10.890 --> 01:10:13.510 you are speaking to him, instead of feeling condemned, 01:10:13.810 --> 01:10:16.510 already something is happening within his mind. 01:10:16.550 --> 01:10:19.449 Amen? As he's receiving it, a light is shining. 01:10:19.609 --> 01:10:22.250 A light is shining. A light is shining. And suddenly 01:10:22.250 --> 01:10:25.369 from nowhere, he starts crying. And then you 01:10:25.369 --> 01:10:27.289 have not asked him why is he crying or she is 01:10:27.289 --> 01:10:29.890 crying. But you know, after everything, you just 01:10:29.890 --> 01:10:57.309 drag the person aside and then you say, ah. The 01:10:57.309 --> 01:11:01.710 idea of the gifts of the Holy Ghost is that they 01:11:01.710 --> 01:11:05.350 make ministry. Right? The work of ministry, Jesus 01:11:05.350 --> 01:11:08.329 is not only seen, Jesus is not only glorified, 01:11:08.510 --> 01:11:12.289 but souls are saved. Souls are not to be condemned. 01:11:12.609 --> 01:11:15.210 Hallelujah. So you don't come using the gifts 01:11:15.210 --> 01:11:17.289 of the Holy Ghost to condemn. You come using 01:11:17.289 --> 01:11:19.449 the gifts of the Holy Ghost to do what? To save. 01:11:22.029 --> 01:11:24.369 So we are going to prophesy now in the next five 01:11:24.369 --> 01:11:27.550 minutes. That's why you're laughing. You know 01:11:27.550 --> 01:11:29.710 you're going to prophesy? You don't know that 01:11:29.710 --> 01:11:32.109 you're going to prophesy? Or you will prophesy? 01:11:32.779 --> 01:11:39.020 Okay. The way you laugh, like me? Can't we pray 01:11:39.020 --> 01:11:59.060 in the Holy Ghost? If you were encouraged, share 01:11:59.060 --> 01:12:02.109 this message with someone you care about. Until 01:12:02.109 --> 01:12:03.689 next time, stay blessed.
