That there will be direction by the 00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:27.199 Spirit of God. Hallelujah. I believe that there 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.879 will be clarity by the Spirit of God. Amen. I 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.219 believe that our ears are not only open, but 00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:39.159 we listen to the voice of the Father. I believe 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.159 that our eyes are not only open, but we see what 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.820 the Father is showing us. Hallelujah. Because 00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:48.979 the spirit of revelation and wisdom is at work 00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:51.679 in our hearts this morning. Amen. Hallelujah. 00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.719 For we know all the things that have been freely 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.780 given to us in Christ Jesus. We don't only know 00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.969 them. But we also acknowledge all of them. Hallelujah. 00:01:02.490 --> 00:01:07.209 Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Praise God. 00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:22.450 1 Corinthians chapter 12. 1 Corinthians chapter 00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:24.950 12. We are just going to read from verse 8 to 00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:31.569 10. For to one is given by the Spirit the word 00:01:31.569 --> 00:01:34.409 of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by 00:01:34.409 --> 00:01:38.230 the same Spirit, to another faith by the same 00:01:38.230 --> 00:01:41.370 Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the 00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:44.030 same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, 00:01:44.409 --> 00:01:47.170 to another prophecy, to another discerning of 00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:50.670 Spirit, to another diverse kinds of tongues, 00:01:50.890 --> 00:01:54.909 to another the what? The interpretation of what? 00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:58.909 Of tongues. Let's just end at 11 then. But all 00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:02.670 these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, 00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:06.709 dividing to every man severally, as what? As 00:02:06.709 --> 00:02:10.430 he will. Praise God. Hallelujah. So this morning 00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:16.409 we are discussing revelational gifts. Revelational 00:02:16.409 --> 00:02:22.490 gifts. Not the gifts of the Spirit. We are looking 00:02:22.490 --> 00:02:39.439 at revelational what? Revelational gifts. And 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.580 today we'll just look at the word of knowledge. 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:47.419 You can write the word of knowledge. Where we 00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:58.379 read in verse 8, it says, So we'll look at the 00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:02.919 word of what? Of knowledge. So revelational gifts, 00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:06.340 the word of what? The word of knowledge. Are 00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:12.360 we all here? Praise God. Hallelujah. So what 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.979 are revelational gifts? We are starting. What 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:22.360 are revelational gifts? What are revelational 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:36.180 gifts? These are gifts. By the Spirit that relate 00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:39.780 to perceiving spiritual entities and activities. 00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:47.000 These are gifts by the Holy Spirit that relate 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.340 to what? That relate to perceiving spiritual 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:55.039 entities and what? And activities. If you remember 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.819 when we started this series, right? I remember 00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:01.620 vividly telling us that revelational gifts, they 00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:05.650 are gifts that see. They know, they perceive 00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:09.310 and hear things by the Spirit. Amen. These gifts 00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:14.050 they do what? They see. Amen. They know, they 00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:17.870 perceive and hear things by what? By the Holy 00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:25.790 Spirit. Amen. So what are revelational gifts? 00:04:25.910 --> 00:04:29.410 They are gifts that what? That they see. They 00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:31.769 are relating to what? To seeing, to hearing, 00:04:32.089 --> 00:04:35.670 to knowing, to perceiving things by the Holy 00:04:35.670 --> 00:04:39.149 Spirit. Praise God. So the Holy Spirit speaks 00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:43.209 something to us. Amen. So we either see it or 00:04:43.209 --> 00:04:46.410 we do what? Or we hear it or we what? Or we know 00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:48.930 it. So suddenly you just tell somebody, I don't 00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:52.430 know, but I just know. If you are not well taught, 00:04:52.509 --> 00:04:57.620 you say, I just feel something. inside me is 00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:00.040 saying that this is the direction you should 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.139 take. Hallelujah. Yes, you just know. You perceive, 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.420 you just know. You get into a place and then 00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:13.199 somebody now is demonically possessed and then 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.860 you just say, you know, Tiki, I think this guy, 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:23.639 there's something just off about him. But don't 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.290 worry, we'll confirm it. Let's just get into 00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:33.170 the place of the meeting. So, revelational gifts 00:05:33.170 --> 00:05:35.769 are what? Gifts that are relating to what? To 00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:38.430 seeing, to hearing, to perceiving, and to what? 00:05:38.670 --> 00:05:43.310 To knowing by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. So, 00:05:43.350 --> 00:05:45.829 there are three of them, which we just read in 00:05:45.829 --> 00:05:48.389 1 Corinthians 12. The word of knowledge, the 00:05:48.389 --> 00:05:51.029 word of wisdom, and then discerning of spirits. 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:55.759 It's not discernment of spirits. Discerning of 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.779 what? Of spirits. There's a reason for that because 00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:03.319 we are coming to it. Word of knowledge. Word 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:10.100 of wisdom. Discerning of what? Of spirits. So, 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:12.920 revelational gifts, when they are in operation, 00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:20.050 they deal with insight into facts. That is, Seeing 00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:23.569 into facts, knowing into facts, perceiving facts 00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:31.970 about people, places, events and things. This 00:06:31.970 --> 00:06:34.029 gives when they are in operation, they deal with 00:06:34.029 --> 00:06:38.329 inside into facts. That is seeing into facts, 00:06:38.529 --> 00:06:42.910 knowing into facts, perceiving facts about people, 00:06:43.209 --> 00:06:48.240 about places, about events or what? All things. 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.459 Praise God. Hallelujah. By the Spirit of God. 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.980 Amen. Revelational gifts are not prior knowledge 00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:04.800 gifts. They are not what? They are not prior 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.680 knowledge what? Gifts. No. The Holy Spirit gives 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.270 me insight on the spur of the moment. Information 00:07:14.270 --> 00:07:17.930 that I don't know about you, the Spirit of the 00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:23.350 Lord tells me when? Now. Information about events 00:07:23.350 --> 00:07:26.509 I don't know about, the Spirit of the Lord tells 00:07:26.509 --> 00:07:30.629 me about them when? Now. Information about locations 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:33.589 that I don't know about, and the Spirit of the 00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.529 Lord tells me about them when? Now. Praise God. 00:07:37.269 --> 00:07:44.360 They reveal. Hallelujah. Amen. So if you observe, 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.420 the scripture says, it calls it the word of knowledge 00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:54.800 is not the gift of knowledge. The word of knowledge 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.240 is definite. It's not what? The gift of knowledge. 00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:05.339 The word of knowledge is not the gift of knowledge. 00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:10.600 There's no such thing as spiritual gift of knowledge. 00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:16.310 Amen. Yes, we're going to build on it. However, 00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:19.189 there's a spiritual gift called what? The word 00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:23.709 of what? Knowledge. Praise God. Given by the 00:08:23.709 --> 00:08:28.189 Spirit of God to the believer. Amen? So, the 00:08:28.189 --> 00:08:30.149 word of knowledge is a supernatural revelation 00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:36.230 by the Holy Ghost about these certain facts from 00:08:36.230 --> 00:08:40.870 the mind of God. Amen? The word of knowledge 00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:46.750 is what? is the supernatural revelation of facts 00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:53.529 from the mind of God to the believer. This is 00:08:53.529 --> 00:08:57.309 important. It's a supernatural revelation by 00:08:57.309 --> 00:08:59.289 the Holy Ghost of certain facts from the what? 00:08:59.409 --> 00:09:04.850 From the mind of who? Mind of God. Amen. So now, 00:09:05.009 --> 00:09:08.529 and that word of knowledge is a fragment of God's 00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:13.230 knowledge. This is important. So God will tell 00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:17.330 you things that are happening about people, about 00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:22.070 places, about events that you have never known. 00:09:22.129 --> 00:09:25.809 Nobody around know about it. Amen. So the spirit 00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:28.730 of God tells you because God is about doing something 00:09:28.730 --> 00:09:31.730 or God is doing something or he has done something 00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:36.090 about the matter. That is why that is received 00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:40.070 from the Holy Ghost. Amen. Yes, because that 00:09:40.070 --> 00:09:42.929 matter is already handled or is going to be handled. 00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:47.809 Amen. And God has to bring the facts out. Praise 00:09:47.809 --> 00:09:52.169 God. This is important. Amen. So it may not be 00:09:52.169 --> 00:09:56.070 spectacular. Praise God. It may not be what? 00:09:56.889 --> 00:09:59.710 Spectacular. It may just be casual. It may just 00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:06.529 be there. So something happened yesterday in 00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:09.980 the evening. As I was still preparing, the thought 00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:12.159 of one brother, they visited us here a couple 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:17.120 of weeks ago, just passed by my mind. I said, 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.019 ah, these people, I remember they visited us, 00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:23.899 so what an amazing time that they came. Just 00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:27.799 a thought. Guess what? In less than two minutes, 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.279 it's not up to two minutes, his text message 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:38.240 came into my phone. In fact, before the message 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.379 came in, I said, why is this brother's thoughts 00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:44.440 coming? Is it that I should pray for him? I've 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.960 already started probing why randomly. We rarely 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.980 talk, but randomly just the thoughts just came. 00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:53.759 So the first question, I think whether Pastor 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.960 Chidi thought here or Pastor Victor or Pastor 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.399 Fred, is that when thoughts of people just flood 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.580 your mind, instead of saying, no, no, no, no, 00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.220 do what? Pray. If you don't have the idea about 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:08.879 anything, do what? Pray. Learn this. Once a thought 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.379 of a person, of a place, events, facts, that 00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.159 normally you will not have access to, will just 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.620 flood your mind, the first posture you should 00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:22.700 take about them is to what? Is to pray. Hallelujah. 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.759 We're in a meeting in Girne, and then we're asked 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.679 to pray in a prophetic activation. They were 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.450 teaching us about the things of the Spirit. And 00:11:31.450 --> 00:11:34.210 I remember vividly, we prayed, we prayed. I don't 00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:35.809 know because he didn't share with us. It's not 00:11:35.809 --> 00:11:38.090 a matter he will share with us. It has nothing 00:11:38.090 --> 00:11:39.870 to do with us because we will not sponsor him. 00:11:40.330 --> 00:11:43.250 We will not help him in any way. But he said, 00:11:43.289 --> 00:11:45.149 okay, everybody should receive a word here for 00:11:45.149 --> 00:11:49.190 everybody. You know, in the midst of it. And 00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:52.889 I told him, the word I received is that I see 00:11:52.889 --> 00:11:55.169 you have something that has to do with moving 00:11:55.169 --> 00:12:00.879 to France. Moving to Europe. Right? So after 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.980 we finished, he was looking at me and smiling. 00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.860 You know, he said, ah, Kostin, you messed up. 00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:08.539 You know, that kind of. He said, Kostin, how 00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:10.940 did you know about it? Where, particularly in 00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:14.480 Europe? I said, sir, I don't have more information. 00:12:15.659 --> 00:12:18.600 But you see, I've grown now. If it's now, I will 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.019 not do the thing that stopped me. If it's now, 00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:26.539 ah, we'll give him the location. Hallelujah. 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.940 Praise God. I will do something, but they say 00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:32.899 I should not do it again. My management have 00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:41.220 erased that part. But you know, that information 00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:45.200 is not the information that all of us in that 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.379 place know about. Amen? But by the Spirit of 00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:56.000 God, it came there. Hallelujah. Most of the information 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.259 that you get here by the Spirit of God that say, 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.559 give him a word. Give him a word. Give him a 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.559 word. This is where we are going to dwell on 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.639 them. Revelational gifts. And I say, you know, 00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:12.679 some people can just be amazing. First, when 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.820 they give you the word, you look at the person 00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:17.740 first from head to toe, sizing. One. Two, you 00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:21.100 now look, who is his friend in this church? Because 00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:23.419 this information, maybe it has started circulating. 00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:34.399 You say, ah, the last time I think I told Pastor 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:38.259 Fred. But this guy is not close to Pastor Fred. 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.299 Could it be that my information now from Pastor 00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:49.860 Fred is moving around? Focus on what you are 00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:52.399 receiving because Jesus is helping your life. 00:13:53.450 --> 00:13:56.029 You are concerned about your image, concerned 00:13:56.029 --> 00:13:59.850 about whether who spoke to who or who. We don't 00:13:59.850 --> 00:14:06.929 know anything about you. Because the one we know 00:14:06.929 --> 00:14:08.750 about you, we have been fighting with you about 00:14:08.750 --> 00:14:14.429 it. So this one that we don't know, that the 00:14:14.429 --> 00:14:17.529 Spirit of God is making bear, because he wants 00:14:17.529 --> 00:14:22.139 to do something about it. Amen. You see, there's 00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:24.259 something that you wrote there. It does not have 00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:29.639 to be spectacular. I could just be talking with 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.379 Pastor Victor. I could just be talking with Pastor 00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:34.539 Victor. Boom. He say, Bishop, have you thought 00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:38.279 of this and this? I say, ah, who told this man 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.759 this thing? He say, what's coming to my heart 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.879 regarding it is this, this, this, this, this, 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.299 and this. It will be a witness with my spirit. 00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:52.080 Because I didn't share it with him. I didn't 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.679 share it with his wife. I didn't share it with 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.919 anybody. And for him to say it now on the spur 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.580 of the moment, it has to be by the Spirit of 00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:07.379 God. Dear brethren, let's learn this. Activities 00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:09.340 of the Spirit of God in the believer are true. 00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:14.320 Hallelujah. Amen. They are what? They are true. 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.200 So the word of knowledge is not a revelation 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.740 of what will happen in the future, but a revelation 00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:29.360 of what has happened or what is happening now. 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.740 The word of knowledge, please write it because 00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.919 we're going to do word of knowledge, we're going 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:36.759 to do word of wisdom, and we're going to do designing 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.559 of spirits. And then we will give all balance 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.139 to it. So when something comes to you, when an 00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:44.279 information comes to your mind and you are speaking 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.220 it to the person, you already know this is the 00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.759 word of knowledge. This is the word of wisdom. 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:54.360 This must be discerning of what? Of spirits. 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.360 Praise God. Amen. So far, so good. Are we clear? 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.299 Praise God. So, the word of knowledge is not 00:16:02.299 --> 00:16:05.940 a revelation of facts or information that will 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:10.799 happen in the future. Rather, revelation of what 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.600 has happened in the past or what is happening 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:29.309 now in the present. The word of knowledge is 00:16:29.309 --> 00:16:32.990 not a revelation of facts or information about 00:16:32.990 --> 00:16:36.389 things that will happen where? In the future. 00:16:36.809 --> 00:16:40.009 Rather, they are revelation of facts, of information, 00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:43.389 of things that have already what? Things that 00:16:43.389 --> 00:16:45.929 has happened in the past or things that are happening 00:16:45.929 --> 00:16:49.450 when? Now. Why are they happening now? To build 00:16:49.450 --> 00:16:59.159 faith. To build faith. To build faith. One, to 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.759 bring the truth of God's knowledge regarding 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:07.000 the matter. To build faith, to bring the truth 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.079 of God's knowledge regarding the matter. To preserve. 00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:23.019 To preserve. To correct. And to confirm God's 00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:29.339 word to the recipient. Let me say it again. What 00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:31.480 has happened or is happening to build faith, 00:17:31.819 --> 00:17:39.180 to bring the truth of God's knowledge, to preserve, 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:46.839 to correct and to confirm God's word to the recipient. 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.700 Hallelujah. You've been praying about a matter. 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.140 You've been praying about a matter. You've been 00:17:56.140 --> 00:18:00.799 praying about it. You know, one of these meetings 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.220 we had in Orange Hall, a lady struggled to come 00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:06.859 to church that Wednesday. Then we used to meet 00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:09.240 on Tuesday. And then she came to the meeting. 00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:12.339 And she didn't only struggle because she had 00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:15.640 a bad knee, right? And she came to that meeting. 00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:18.099 So during the message, the message was going 00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:20.380 on. And then the Spirit of the Lord gave a word 00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:22.440 that there's a lady who came here. You're seated 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.880 on this side. You have a bad knee. Who is the 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.750 person? Boom, she stood up, right? And then hands 00:18:28.750 --> 00:18:31.990 were laid on her. You know, the next meeting, 00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:35.009 she didn't actually tell us this. All this information 00:18:35.009 --> 00:18:39.009 I'm saying came after. Amen. So, and then the 00:18:39.009 --> 00:18:41.269 next meeting, she came with her knee. In fact, 00:18:41.289 --> 00:18:43.890 she said as she was reaching home, the pain was 00:18:43.890 --> 00:18:48.250 gone. Totally gone. So the next time we met, 00:18:48.309 --> 00:18:50.690 that was when she said, actually that day, she 00:18:50.690 --> 00:18:53.470 struggled to come to the meeting. She said, okay, 00:18:53.509 --> 00:18:59.009 let her carry herself. Just be there. Hallelujah. 00:18:59.009 --> 00:19:02.630 There was no how we would have known that there 00:19:02.630 --> 00:19:05.250 was somebody in that hall with a bad knee because 00:19:05.250 --> 00:19:11.950 everybody walked in. Yeah, no wheelchair, no 00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:15.349 crutches. Everybody walked in. Everybody sat 00:19:15.349 --> 00:19:18.390 down. Everybody prays. Everybody was laughing. 00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:23.799 Everybody is smiling. Please, as the teaching 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.799 is going on, pay attention to the Holy Spirit 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.119 because the Spirit of God is bringing instructions 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.299 to your heart. For people, for this local church, 00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:36.779 to people far away from here also. Amen? And 00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:38.599 she now said that these are the things that happened. 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.759 She came that day, you know, she was called out, 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.039 hands were laid on her, and then the pain left. 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.059 Hallelujah. Something that is happening when? 00:19:52.930 --> 00:19:59.950 Now, praise God. So the word of knowledge is 00:19:59.950 --> 00:20:04.190 given to us to guide the believer, but it is 00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:09.069 not the guidance itself because the spirit of 00:20:09.069 --> 00:20:11.390 the Lord is the guide. Amen. So the word of the 00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:13.430 knowledge is given to the believer to do what? 00:20:13.990 --> 00:20:23.279 To guide the believer. Why? Because it unveils 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.640 the knowledge of God to the human mind via the 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:31.619 Spirit. To guide the believer because what? It 00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:35.299 unveils the knowledge of God to the human mind 00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:43.279 through the Spirit. And this will happen so that 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.680 the believer can learn how to minister effectively. 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:51.789 Amen? so that the believer can learn how to minister 00:20:51.789 --> 00:21:00.910 what? Effectively. Praise God. So out of God's 00:21:00.910 --> 00:21:06.910 counsel, out of God's knowledge, God will now, 00:21:06.970 --> 00:21:10.289 through the Spirit, impart that knowledge to 00:21:10.289 --> 00:21:12.950 us about facts, about people, about events, about 00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:18.250 locations. Amen? Yes. We're going to come... 00:21:18.509 --> 00:21:21.130 to discuss on how these things flow through us. 00:21:21.329 --> 00:21:26.569 So now, write this, the word. The word. The word. 00:21:27.789 --> 00:21:34.069 The phrase, the word, is translated from the 00:21:34.069 --> 00:21:39.630 Greek word logos. The phrase, the word, is from 00:21:39.630 --> 00:21:44.450 the Greek word what? Logos. So far so good. Do 00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:45.970 we know the definition of the word of knowledge? 00:21:46.990 --> 00:21:49.049 Do we know the definition of the word of knowledge? 00:21:49.869 --> 00:21:55.609 Amen? Good. So, the word is a phrase translated 00:21:55.609 --> 00:21:59.670 from the Greek word, what? Logos. And the meaning 00:21:59.670 --> 00:22:10.230 of logos is an account, an idea, summation of 00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:18.910 an idea, mindset. The meaning of logos is an 00:22:18.910 --> 00:22:26.210 account, an idea, summation of an idea, mindset. 00:22:32.430 --> 00:22:37.369 And then the word knowledge. The word knowledge 00:22:37.369 --> 00:22:42.529 is translated from the Greek word gnosis, G -N 00:22:42.529 --> 00:22:48.799 -O -S -I -S. Logos is L -O -G -O -S. Gnosis is 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:57.380 G -N -O -S -I -S. G -N -O -S -I -S. It refers 00:22:57.380 --> 00:23:03.940 to an experience. It refers to an experience. 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.940 And it's from the root word ginosko. G -I -N 00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:18.650 -O -S. K -O, ginosko, which means to learn, to 00:23:18.650 --> 00:23:23.390 know, to come to know, and to understand. Gnosis 00:23:23.390 --> 00:23:29.329 or G -N -O -S -I -S, right? An experience. From 00:23:29.329 --> 00:23:32.009 the root word ginosko, which means to learn, 00:23:32.269 --> 00:23:36.529 to come to know, to come to understand. Amen? 00:23:36.910 --> 00:23:42.049 Praise God. So, we have logos and we have experience. 00:23:42.569 --> 00:23:46.119 Amen? So, what is happening is that the Spirit 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:51.119 of God will bring a knowing to the mind of the 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:56.519 believer, right? From the knowledge of God. Hallelujah. 00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:59.779 So, he will bring an information. He will bring 00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:02.900 an idea. He will bring, you know, an essence 00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:06.720 from the mind of God to the believer. Praise 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.599 God. So, the believer now is what? His faith 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:16.750 is built up. Amen? He has a guide now. He has 00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:22.490 help now. Amen? Hallelujah. So in other words 00:24:22.490 --> 00:24:29.890 now, in other words, we can say now, we are moving 00:24:29.890 --> 00:24:32.490 now from the definition now, finally. In other 00:24:32.490 --> 00:24:34.970 words, we can say this now, that the word of 00:24:34.970 --> 00:24:38.450 knowledge will imply to have divinely granted 00:24:38.450 --> 00:24:45.079 knowledge. It will imply to have what? Divinely 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:52.380 granted knowledge. Divinely granted knowledge 00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:57.400 into the knowledge of God. Divinely granted knowledge 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.259 into the knowledge of God about people, about 00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:11.880 places, about events. So, for example, yesterday, 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.140 I was, was it yesterday? This morning, I was 00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:20.339 scrolling a page on the Instagram. And I thank 00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:22.940 God he's here. Amen. And I saw that brother on 00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:25.980 the cap, the one with the yellow cap. I saw one 00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:29.640 of his pictures. And I just felt that this morning, 00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:32.980 if he comes, let me pray with him. Praise God. 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:35.299 I'm saying this one, I'm saying it real now. 00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:38.970 What happened? Praise God. If you ask me, why 00:25:38.970 --> 00:25:45.210 should I pray with him? I don't know. What I 00:25:45.210 --> 00:25:48.849 know is that I have received an information and 00:25:48.849 --> 00:25:52.289 by practice daily, I know this is not ordinary 00:25:52.289 --> 00:25:56.250 in my heart. Praise God. But when we meet and 00:25:56.250 --> 00:25:59.789 then we talk and we pray, we will have what? 00:25:59.930 --> 00:26:04.750 A direction why that came. Hallelujah. Praise 00:26:04.750 --> 00:26:09.420 God. Hallelujah. Amen. Are we all here? Yes. 00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:16.079 So divinely granted what? Divinely granted knowledge. 00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.799 Praise God. Hallelujah. So now, the word of knowledge. 00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:24.480 What the word of knowledge is not. Write this 00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:30.640 now. What the word of knowledge is not. What 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.990 the word of knowledge is what? Is not. So the 00:26:33.990 --> 00:26:36.490 word of knowledge is not a natural knowledge. 00:26:38.809 --> 00:26:42.009 The word of knowledge is not a what? A natural 00:26:42.009 --> 00:26:52.529 knowledge. For example, now I've been with, we've 00:26:52.529 --> 00:26:58.130 been with the pastors now for like, me, let me 00:26:58.130 --> 00:27:00.769 talk about myself. I've been with them for 11 00:27:00.769 --> 00:27:04.319 years, getting to 12 years. We've been together, 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:09.259 right? Pastor Chidi has been with Pastor Fred 00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:13.259 more than myself and a few others too. Pastor 00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:20.700 Emma, right? All the information I know about 00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:24.420 them, there is still an information that the 00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:27.859 Spirit of God will give me regarding what is 00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:30.779 happening currently. with them that they have 00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:36.400 not what? Yet spoken to me. Praise God. It could 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.380 be, let's even say, it could be that there is 00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:40.720 a matter on ground and they are praying and they 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.880 are praying. Or there is something that needs 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:50.180 to be fixed. And yet they have not what? Informed 00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:54.420 me. So the fact that I have a knowledge, natural 00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:56.799 knowledge about them for this number of years, 00:27:57.059 --> 00:28:00.359 right? That does not mean that that is the word 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:05.759 of what? Knowledge. We've practiced it several 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.940 times during Catartismos and during Prayer Cruise, 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.319 where we gather in groups and say minister to 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.599 one another. And you know, in the midst of I'm 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:14.920 saying what is happening in our own group, the 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.180 pastors, I don't know what happens in your group, 00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:20.660 right? But in our group, you now realize that 00:28:20.660 --> 00:28:24.519 when the word is coming, it's like, ah, how? 00:28:24.910 --> 00:28:28.029 How did you get this thing now? Because this 00:28:28.029 --> 00:28:30.829 is the current matter now. Let me put it this 00:28:30.829 --> 00:28:33.470 way. Current news. This is what is happening 00:28:33.470 --> 00:28:40.769 on the spot now. It has to be by the Spirit of 00:28:40.769 --> 00:28:44.750 God. So you could just write this. Learn to always 00:28:44.750 --> 00:28:47.410 trust the voice of the Holy Spirit in your heart. 00:28:49.210 --> 00:28:52.490 The Holy Spirit will never lead the believer 00:28:52.490 --> 00:28:58.349 astray. In fact, the Holy Spirit is yearning 00:28:58.349 --> 00:29:01.769 always to lead you to places where you are preserved. 00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:09.069 Just pay attention, pay attention, pay attention 00:29:09.069 --> 00:29:11.690 to the voice and the leading of the Spirit of 00:29:11.690 --> 00:29:16.650 God in your heart. So the word of knowledge is 00:29:16.650 --> 00:29:19.809 not natural knowledge or sense knowledge or intellectual 00:29:19.809 --> 00:29:23.960 knowledge. It's not. The word of knowledge is 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.559 not what? Natural knowledge or sense knowledge 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:33.660 or what? Intellectual knowledge. It's not. Why? 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:35.900 Because the word of knowledge is a supernatural 00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:39.839 manifestation of the Spirit of God. It's a supernatural 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:43.359 what? Manifestation of the Spirit of God. And 00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.619 if the word of knowledge is supernatural, then 00:29:45.619 --> 00:29:48.480 all other gifts are also what? Supernatural. 00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:52.880 They cannot be natural. Hallelujah. So if the 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.359 word of knowledge is a natural knowledge, then 00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.740 what we are saying is that the gift of healing 00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:00.500 is a natural healing that you go to the hospital 00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:02.779 and the doctors see you and then they treat you. 00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:08.880 Praise God. So the word of knowledge is not that. 00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:11.720 It's a supernatural manifestation of what? Of 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.400 the Spirit of God through the believer. Hallelujah. 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:20.970 Praise God. It's not those kind of knowledge 00:30:20.970 --> 00:30:22.970 that we've learned in the classroom. It's not 00:30:22.970 --> 00:30:26.250 biomedical engineering. It's not medical biochemistry. 00:30:26.269 --> 00:30:28.890 It's not international relation. No, it's not. 00:30:32.650 --> 00:30:36.109 It's having access into the purposes of God for 00:30:36.109 --> 00:30:38.750 the believer. Into the events that God wants 00:30:38.750 --> 00:30:46.930 to be established now in the believer. Praise 00:30:46.930 --> 00:30:51.319 God. Hallelujah. The word of knowledge is not 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:58.019 a profound knowledge of the Bible. The word of 00:30:58.019 --> 00:31:00.859 knowledge is not what? A profound knowledge of 00:31:00.859 --> 00:31:05.440 what? Of the Bible. You remember when we were 00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:08.039 ending the teachings, you know, on the all trans 00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.960 gifts, I said something that when it comes to 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:13.539 all trans gifts, God does not place premium priority 00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:17.640 on the education of the receiver. Amen? But you 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.819 see, when it comes to the knowledge of his word, 00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:24.980 God does not use foolish people and ignorant 00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:28.880 people that don't know his word. God places priority 00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:33.259 on the knowledge of his word. You will see Paul 00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:37.019 will admonish Timothy, study, study, study, continue 00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:41.180 in it, continue in it. He will tell Joshua to 00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:45.079 meditate on it. How? Day and night. God is always 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.599 interested in his children understanding his 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.460 heart. And how can we know his heart, his ways? 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.279 Through where? Through his word. However, the 00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:59.779 word of knowledge is not the knowledge of what? 00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:04.920 Of the Bible. That I've read Genesis from 1 to 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:09.859 Revelation, the last part. Alpha and I end in 00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:14.160 Omega. Does not mean that is what? The word of 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.119 knowledge. I wrote something here. However, the 00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:23.500 scriptures validates the word of knowledge when 00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:26.480 it comes. So, through the scriptures, we judge 00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:30.480 the word of knowledge when it comes. Hallelujah. 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.160 This is a huge balance. So, that is why the believer 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.289 ought to study the Bible. You must study. You 00:32:38.289 --> 00:32:41.269 must study. So that when you go out there, you 00:32:41.269 --> 00:32:45.390 don't meet one Babalao and then the Babalao uses 00:32:45.390 --> 00:32:48.549 you and shine. Or Satan will appear to you in 00:32:48.549 --> 00:32:51.890 sheep or lamb's clothing, you know, and then 00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:54.190 give you a word and he said, this must be of 00:32:54.190 --> 00:32:57.970 God. He did that to Jesus. If truly you are the 00:32:57.970 --> 00:33:01.150 son of God, turn this stone into what? Into bricks. 00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.700 You don't know the word, you will turn it into 00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:13.559 a bakery house. You will prove a point. No. We 00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:15.700 judge the word of knowledge through the scriptures. 00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:19.180 So the knowledge of the scriptures is important 00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:24.140 for the believer. In fact, let me say it this 00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:26.859 way as it's coming to my heart. All the gifts 00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:30.059 of the spirit of God, the knowledge of God's 00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:34.769 word is important to judge. All of them. Hallelujah. 00:33:35.710 --> 00:33:42.250 Praise God. The word of knowledge is not the 00:33:42.250 --> 00:33:46.670 knowledge of God through experience. So please, 00:33:46.710 --> 00:33:49.109 the last portion I gave us, please, can you write 00:33:49.109 --> 00:33:50.730 this scripture about Paul admonishing Timothy 00:33:50.730 --> 00:33:53.349 to study? The knowledge of God is a profound 00:33:53.349 --> 00:33:55.869 knowledge of the Bible. 2 Timothy 2 verse 15. 00:33:58.170 --> 00:34:03.579 He said, study to show yourself what? Yes, study. 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:10.099 Be diligent at it. Give yourselves to it. So 00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:12.300 the knowledge, the word of knowledge is not a 00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:14.460 knowledge of what? Of God through experience. 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:22.739 Can we read 1 Samuel, everybody? 1 Samuel. I 00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:25.480 think we read it here a couple of weeks, maybe 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.179 last week. I think either our brother Kola read 00:34:29.179 --> 00:34:32.920 it or so, or he mentioned it, one of it. Let's 00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:38.139 go to 1 Samuel, everybody, chapter 3. 1 Samuel, 00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:59.659 chapter 3. Let's read verse 1. The Lord called 00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:02.280 Samuel and he answered, Here am I. And he ran 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.320 on to Eli and said, Here am I, for thou callest 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:09.019 me. And he said, I called not. Lie down again. 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.059 And he went and lay down. And the Lord called 00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:13.239 yet again Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.679 Eli and said, Here am I, for thou didst call 00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.420 me. And he said, I call not my son. Lie down 00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:21.920 again. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, 00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:25.150 neither was the word of the Lord yet what? revealed 00:35:25.150 --> 00:35:27.769 to him. And the Lord called Samuel again the 00:35:27.769 --> 00:35:29.949 third time, and he arose and went to Eli and 00:35:29.949 --> 00:35:32.510 said, Here am I, for thou didst call me. And 00:35:32.510 --> 00:35:37.530 Eli perceived that what? That the Lord had what? 00:35:38.489 --> 00:35:46.829 Experience. Eli didn't hear the Lord call Samuel. 00:35:46.989 --> 00:35:50.519 He did what? Perceived. He is a prophet. He has 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.940 been with God. He has known. When this thing 00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:56.340 is happening like this. It is God that is doing 00:35:56.340 --> 00:36:01.400 it. Praise God. And he told him something now. 00:36:04.619 --> 00:36:08.940 Therefore Eli 9 said unto Samuel. Go what? Lie 00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:13.440 down. And it shall be. If what? If he call thee 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:18.059 that thou shall what? Say. Speak Lord. For thy 00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:23.099 servant what? Hear it. So Samuel went and lay 00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:25.739 down in what? In his place. Then, and the Lord 00:36:25.739 --> 00:36:27.519 came and stood and called us the other times. 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:29.699 Samuel, Samuel, then Samuel answered and said 00:36:29.699 --> 00:36:35.340 what? Speak, for thy servant what? Hear it. Practical 00:36:35.340 --> 00:36:37.699 experience. The word of knowledge is not what? 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.800 Is not experience. The fact that you have had 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:44.719 a dealing with God about a matter does not mean 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.119 that that is how God will deal with every other 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:56.219 person about the matter. Praise God. I got a 00:36:56.219 --> 00:36:58.440 word of wisdom about a thing. We're going to 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.380 talk about word of wisdom. That's why I'm specifically 00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:02.739 using it now. I got a word of wisdom about a 00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:04.880 thing. And then now that thing came with instruction 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:08.760 and I have to do them. Amen. And then suddenly 00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.139 now you met me and then you say, sir, this is, 00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.619 this is, this is. Huh? That last time it was 00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:20.909 16 hours closed doors. And 21 days prayers. And 00:37:20.909 --> 00:37:27.590 then with one week of worship. And then the guy 00:37:27.590 --> 00:37:31.449 just leaves. And then goes. Do 16 hours closed 00:37:31.449 --> 00:37:36.250 doors. Do 21 days. Right? And then 7 days worship. 00:37:36.829 --> 00:37:39.630 And then the thing did not change. God didn't 00:37:39.630 --> 00:37:45.460 speak. You spoke. So the word of knowledge is 00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:50.260 not what? An experiential information that you 00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:53.280 are bringing. Please pay attention that this 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:57.059 manifestation or operation happens on the spot 00:37:57.059 --> 00:38:00.199 of the moment. I don't know you, you don't know 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:03.340 me, or I know you, you know me, but I don't have 00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:05.800 access to the information. There was just no 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:15.179 how I could have access to it. Praise God. So 00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:20.239 the word of knowledge is not that kind of knowledge. 00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:29.940 So now, what the word of knowledge is? What the 00:38:29.940 --> 00:38:36.000 word of knowledge what? Is. What the word of 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:41.969 knowledge is? 1 Samuel chapter 9. So from here 00:38:41.969 --> 00:38:44.050 now, we're going to run through scriptures upon 00:38:44.050 --> 00:38:46.690 scriptures upon scriptures upon scriptures. Amen? 00:38:47.130 --> 00:38:51.230 To establish this background for us. Praise God. 00:38:53.590 --> 00:38:55.869 So we know what the word of knowledge is, right? 00:38:56.550 --> 00:38:59.250 We know what the word of knowledge is not, right? 00:38:59.809 --> 00:39:02.710 Good. So we will look at now scriptures upon 00:39:02.710 --> 00:39:05.630 scriptures to establish this truth about what 00:39:05.630 --> 00:39:08.530 the word of knowledge is for the believer. Praise 00:39:08.530 --> 00:39:11.659 God. And please don't forget. All the manifestations, 00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:16.179 all the gifts of the Holy Ghost is not... What's 00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:21.039 the word now? Okay, let me put it this way. Has 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:25.679 been in operation before the New Testament. Let 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:28.400 me put that context so that it will be much more 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:33.639 clear for us. Amen? All the what? All the gifts 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:37.320 of the Spirit aside tongues. and interpretation 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:42.699 of tongues has been in operation before the New 00:39:42.699 --> 00:39:45.559 Testament. I have a reason why I'm saying the 00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:48.940 New Testament. Praise God. So what I'm saying 00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:51.659 in simple terms is that all the gifts of the 00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:53.780 Holy Ghost aside tongues and interpretation of 00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:56.199 tongues has been in operation even in the Old 00:39:56.199 --> 00:40:00.949 Testament. Hallelujah. Praise God. And don't 00:40:00.949 --> 00:40:04.590 forget, these gifts are in operation where the 00:40:04.590 --> 00:40:07.909 Spirit of God is also in operation. Hallelujah. 00:40:08.510 --> 00:40:13.090 Amen. Amen. Good. So, we needed to say that now. 00:40:13.349 --> 00:40:16.170 So, what the word of knowledge is. 1 Samuel chapter 00:40:16.170 --> 00:40:22.849 9. 1 Samuel chapter 9. 1 Samuel chapter 9. We're 00:40:22.849 --> 00:40:28.469 going to read verse 3. Well, let's start reading 00:40:28.469 --> 00:40:32.519 from verse 1. Now there was a man of Benjamin 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:35.760 whose name was Kish, the son of Abel, the son 00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:40.659 of Zeror, the son of Bekorat, the son of Aphia, 00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:43.699 a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had 00:40:43.699 --> 00:40:47.320 a son whose name was Saul, a choice young man 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.059 and a goodly. And there was not among the children 00:40:50.059 --> 00:40:52.719 of Israel a goodlier person than he. From his 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:55.380 shoulders and upward he was higher than any of 00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:58.230 what? Of the people. Verse 3, everybody. And 00:40:58.230 --> 00:41:00.329 the asses of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. 00:41:00.510 --> 00:41:03.190 And Kish said to Saul, his son, Take now one 00:41:03.190 --> 00:41:06.389 of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek 00:41:06.389 --> 00:41:10.090 the what? Seek the asses. Verse 6. Now, let's 00:41:10.090 --> 00:41:11.869 go now. Let's keep reading. And he passed through 00:41:11.869 --> 00:41:13.570 Mount Ephraim and passed through the land of... 00:41:22.619 --> 00:41:43.460 And five now. Verse six. And he said unto him, 00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:49.639 Behold, now there is in this city a who? A man 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:53.780 of God, and he is what? An honorable man, all 00:41:53.780 --> 00:41:57.559 that he said, does what? Surely to pass. Now 00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.599 let us go thither, but eventually he can show 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.199 us our way that we shall what? We shall go. Sharp 00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:11.650 guys. Don't allow over familiarity deprive you 00:42:11.650 --> 00:42:14.769 from receiving from your brothers and sisters, 00:42:15.110 --> 00:42:17.989 from your wife, from your husband, from your 00:42:17.989 --> 00:42:25.750 children. Praise God. Hallelujah. See now, let's 00:42:25.750 --> 00:42:29.090 go to verse 15, everybody. Now the Lord has told 00:42:29.090 --> 00:42:35.610 Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 00:42:35.909 --> 00:42:59.519 16. Assis, right? God is telling Samuel what? 00:43:00.900 --> 00:43:03.960 About a man that he should anoint. Did God tell 00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.659 Samuel that this young man went out to look for 00:43:06.659 --> 00:43:11.570 Assis? You see? So, from God's mind, God is revealing 00:43:11.570 --> 00:43:15.090 something. Amen? So, there was no prior information 00:43:15.090 --> 00:43:18.849 to all these activities. Saul and his servants 00:43:18.849 --> 00:43:22.190 are somewhere. Samuel is in another place and 00:43:22.190 --> 00:43:26.010 God is revealing this information. Amen? Very 00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:31.610 important. Then now, see now, verse 19. Verse 00:43:31.610 --> 00:43:36.179 19, now let's go. And Samuel answered Saul and 00:43:36.179 --> 00:43:40.400 said, I am the seer. Go up before me unto the 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.320 high place, for ye shall eat with me today, and 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.300 tomorrow I will do what? I will let thee go and 00:43:46.300 --> 00:43:49.980 will tell thee all that is what in thy heart. 00:43:50.619 --> 00:43:56.940 C20 everybody now. And as for thy what? That 00:43:56.940 --> 00:44:05.880 were how many days? Precise. Can you see? Set 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:11.340 not thy mind where? On them. For what? They are 00:44:11.340 --> 00:44:14.500 found. Is Samuel where these things are found? 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:18.019 No. They are just in Samuel's house. Eating and 00:44:18.019 --> 00:44:22.030 drinking because a big event is happening. But 00:44:22.030 --> 00:44:24.969 information is happening when? Now, on the spur 00:44:24.969 --> 00:44:28.329 of the moment. He is telling him that the asses 00:44:28.329 --> 00:44:30.690 that were lost three days before you guys, you 00:44:30.690 --> 00:44:32.889 know, took off and then to this place, these 00:44:32.889 --> 00:44:38.809 asses have been what? Have been found. And see 00:44:38.809 --> 00:44:42.449 now, and on whom is all the desire of Israel? 00:44:42.570 --> 00:44:46.489 Is it not on thee and on all thy what? So Samuel 00:44:46.489 --> 00:44:48.710 is concerned about what God had what? Had told 00:44:48.710 --> 00:44:52.780 him regarding what? However, I'm going to say 00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:55.559 something here and then we'll continue on Wednesday. 00:44:55.980 --> 00:45:02.800 However, right? God has orchestrated that Samuel 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.340 is going to be anointed. Amen. Hallelujah. But 00:45:07.340 --> 00:45:13.230 now, through the means of the lost asses. We 00:45:13.230 --> 00:45:16.969 see now Samuel meeting the man of God and then 00:45:16.969 --> 00:45:20.269 now that which God has in his mind is now what? 00:45:20.909 --> 00:45:29.269 Established. Hallelujah. So now, sometimes and 00:45:29.269 --> 00:45:33.989 often when you start receiving a word of knowledge, 00:45:34.309 --> 00:45:38.510 it may not start out coming to you spectacular. 00:45:39.730 --> 00:45:43.360 God, said his spirit is upon you. He's called 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.320 you to Zimbabwe. You're going to do this. You're 00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:48.019 going to, a doctor is already looking at me. 00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:49.780 I hope this word that he's saying, I will not 00:45:49.780 --> 00:45:53.039 be in Zimbabwe. Let me go to this side. You know, 00:45:53.059 --> 00:45:56.039 and then, you know, this is this, this is that. 00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:58.300 It may not start out that way. Do you know it 00:45:58.300 --> 00:46:00.179 may start out as simple as, how are you? Have 00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:05.000 you eaten today? What did you eat today? He said, 00:46:05.099 --> 00:46:10.989 oh, so, you know. What did you eat? He said, 00:46:11.050 --> 00:46:17.929 ah, sir, actually, I have not eaten. Ah, you 00:46:17.929 --> 00:46:19.889 have not eaten? But look at the way you are dressed 00:46:19.889 --> 00:46:22.750 now. You are even looking like a big boy. Everybody 00:46:22.750 --> 00:46:25.650 is smiling. He said, ah, sir, forget this, you 00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:31.190 know. You know, I'm a small boy here. But you 00:46:31.190 --> 00:46:34.269 know, it didn't start out spectacularly. There 00:46:34.269 --> 00:46:36.889 was nothing. But the man that is speaking already 00:46:36.889 --> 00:46:41.079 has received an information. That this man, there's 00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.780 a need in his life for this, this, this, this, 00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:47.099 this, this, this, this, this. Amen? And then 00:46:47.099 --> 00:46:49.000 suddenly now, in the midst of the discussion 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:53.000 and the rest, and then now, you say, what? This 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:55.820 happened, this happened, this happened, this 00:46:55.820 --> 00:46:59.039 happened last week. Because you did this, you 00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:05.480 did this, you did this, and this and this. And 00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:07.719 then now you now say, first, I know you will 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:10.329 hear me well now. But let's go, I will buy kebab 00:47:10.329 --> 00:47:14.389 for you first. When you eat, let here be handled. 00:47:15.150 --> 00:47:20.389 Amen? You have solved one need. The asses have 00:47:20.389 --> 00:47:25.949 been what? Found. The food has been found. So 00:47:25.949 --> 00:47:30.869 the man will now eat. When he eats, yes. And 00:47:30.869 --> 00:47:34.050 then now, the instruction that has been received 00:47:34.050 --> 00:47:37.190 from God regarding what God wants to use him 00:47:37.190 --> 00:47:41.320 to do. will now what? Will now be unveiled to 00:47:41.320 --> 00:48:08.119 him. Praise God. Can we rise to our feet? Until 00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:09.679 next time, stay blessed.
