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 --> 00:00:23.980 right in. Yes, so on Sunday we started the other 00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:28.000 last part of the gifts of the Spirit. That is 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.549 revelational gifts. Right. And we started with 00:00:33.549 --> 00:00:36.049 word of knowledge, the word of knowledge. Praise 00:00:36.049 --> 00:00:39.210 God. And this is important because, you know, 00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:43.009 word of knowledge is an instruction. Let me use 00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:47.630 the word. It's an information that virtually 00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:50.750 every day the Holy Ghost supplies to the believer. 00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:55.149 Amen. Yes. Virtually every day you are enjoying 00:00:55.149 --> 00:00:59.979 the operation of the word of knowledge. Amen. 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679 Either for your family, for your friends, for 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.840 the church, for the most times. In fact, all 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.159 of the time when we say give somebody a word. 00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:17.000 Right. There is high probability that the word 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.760 you are giving is a word of knowledge. Amen. 00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:23.780 Yes. So, but we find situations where it's a 00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:29.870 word of wisdom. Amen. And then we now find. where 00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:33.430 we see discerning of spirits. However, we are 00:01:33.430 --> 00:01:36.049 coming to that, you know, so that the practical 00:01:36.049 --> 00:01:40.590 aspect of it will really be applicable well for 00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:47.549 us. So now, we stopped at, somebody should help 00:01:47.549 --> 00:01:53.230 me, we stopped where, at 1 Samuel, 1 Samuel, 00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:58.549 right? Did he stop at 1 Samuel? Yes. Yes, good. 00:01:58.670 --> 00:02:01.989 So, if you check your notes very well, we read 00:02:01.989 --> 00:02:05.670 1 Corinthians 12, verse 8. From 1 Corinthians 00:02:05.670 --> 00:02:09.310 12, verse 8, we stopped at verse 10. Let's go 00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:11.349 there. Let's read it again. You should not be 00:02:11.349 --> 00:02:16.189 tired of reading it. Let's go there. 1 Corinthians 00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:26.080 12. 1 Corinthians 12. Yes. Father, we thank you. 00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:28.340 We bless you. Be thou glorified. Be thou exalted 00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:30.759 for this evening. We thank you for the spirit 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.479 of revelation is active in our hearts in the 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.659 name of Jesus. The eyes of our understanding 00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:40.259 is flooded with light and we understand our reality 00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:44.000 in Christ Jesus. We thank you that this evening, 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:46.319 Lord, as we are taught and we are trained in 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.610 the name of Jesus. We enjoy the operation of 00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:52.229 the gift of the word of knowledge in Jesus' name. 00:02:52.449 --> 00:02:54.550 Father, we thank you for we are receiving words, 00:02:54.669 --> 00:02:56.330 we are receiving instructions, we are receiving 00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:59.090 guide, we are receiving help. Lord, for ourselves, 00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:01.889 for the local church, for our friends, for people 00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:05.430 around us in the name of Jesus. And we see faith 00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:08.750 being built, our lives edified and God glorified. 00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:12.909 In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Praise God. 00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:15.909 Hallelujah. Yeah, so 1 Corinthians chapter 12. 00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:20.539 Verse 8. Yeah, so before I read, you know, who 00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:24.180 remembered on Sunday, I mentioned about somebody, 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.560 a brother that came to church, right? Yes, I 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.460 pointed a brother that came to church and then 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:32.400 I said I was scrolling on Instagram, the church's 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.659 page, and then I saw him, right? I just got this 00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:39.400 impression in my heart that pray with him. Amen? 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.460 So after the service, we got to communicate and 00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.949 then... I now knew the reason why that instruction 00:03:45.949 --> 00:03:49.889 came. Amen. So because he shared with me a whole 00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:53.569 lot of things that were happening and made up 00:03:53.569 --> 00:03:56.169 his mind to be in the service in the morning. 00:03:57.110 --> 00:04:00.169 Amen. So after we finished conversing and then 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:03.050 we had time to pray, or after he has told me 00:04:03.050 --> 00:04:06.610 all that he needed to, it now made sense to me 00:04:06.610 --> 00:04:11.150 more why that came for us to pray for him. Praise 00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:16.540 God. Yeah, so this is practical application of 00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:20.139 the word of knowledge. Amen. Then yesterday also, 00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:24.480 one of our sisters, you know, we prayed for a 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.600 family member, you know, so she slept and then 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.879 woke up and then there was an instruction to 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.759 pray for them because she saw as though they 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.000 were kidnapped. Right. And then we had opportunity 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.660 to pray for them. And then yesterday we had the 00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:50.779 prayers. And yesterday, right, they had a major 00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:54.879 accident where the tire of the car, right, removed. 00:04:55.540 --> 00:05:01.149 But all of them were preserved. Praise God. Hallelujah. 00:05:01.610 --> 00:05:03.990 Yes, very practical. You remember I mentioned 00:05:03.990 --> 00:05:07.589 on Sunday, when someone's thought comes to your 00:05:07.589 --> 00:05:11.350 heart, let me say it again this way. Now, I'm 00:05:11.350 --> 00:05:14.689 going to expand it. When someone's thought comes 00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:17.649 to your heart, whether as a result of you are 00:05:17.649 --> 00:05:21.970 awake during the activities of the day, Or you 00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:25.730 see someone in the dream and you know it's not 00:05:25.730 --> 00:05:29.350 ordinary because I thought about him or we slept 00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:31.730 and then we talked and then I slept or we had 00:05:31.730 --> 00:05:34.189 a discussion. But you know there is something 00:05:34.189 --> 00:05:37.370 that is happening and then you woke up with a 00:05:37.370 --> 00:05:39.910 burden in your heart. In fact, most times, let 00:05:39.910 --> 00:05:43.649 me say this, most times, you know, the first 00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:45.310 instruction you're going to get in your heart 00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:47.649 is pray for them. Either pray for him or pray 00:05:47.649 --> 00:05:51.519 for her or pray for them. Amen? Yes, so you will 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.839 see the leading or you will hear the leading 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.500 of the Holy Spirit in your heart swiftly regarding 00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:00.360 that particular person or regarding that particular 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.240 matter. It's not ordinary. For some of us, it 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.939 will be a vision. You could be seated and then 00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:12.819 it's almost like just a movie just played and 00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:17.290 passed. You know you're not sleeping. And you 00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.230 know that definitely you're not awake. But somehow, 00:06:20.430 --> 00:06:23.910 like you saw a movie just pass, and then you 00:06:23.910 --> 00:06:27.110 saw something happen to someone somewhere, and 00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:29.149 an instruction came to your heart to quickly 00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:33.709 reach out to the person. Amen? So as you are 00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:36.470 reaching out to the person, immediately the person 00:06:36.470 --> 00:06:40.009 tells you, this is what is just happening. How 00:06:40.009 --> 00:06:43.790 did you know? Did someone reach out to you? No. 00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:48.360 So don't ignore the promptings of the Holy Ghost. 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.420 When he brings people into your heart, when he 00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:56.060 brings events into your heart, when he directs 00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:59.379 you to locations, to places, to pray for people, 00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:02.519 to pray for events, don't ignore them. Those 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.439 are not your ordinary daily thoughts. It is the 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.519 operation of the gift of the Holy Ghost in your 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.000 heart. Amen? To meet a need. To meet a need. 00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:17.959 To establish God's purposes and His counsel. 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.980 This is important. You see, every day I get, 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:25.980 every day I look forward to practice more and 00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:28.980 more and more and more and more the things of 00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:32.620 the Spirit. Because that is the only way to get 00:07:32.620 --> 00:07:37.149 better at it. That is the only way to get better 00:07:37.149 --> 00:07:40.490 at it. That is the only way. So what I'm saying 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:43.589 in essence before we read this place is do as 00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:46.410 much as possible to practice the things of the 00:07:46.410 --> 00:07:52.449 Spirit. Practice them. Practice them. Practice 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:55.209 them. The more you get better at it, the more 00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:58.029 you understand how God speaks. The more you understand 00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:02.029 the voice of God clearly. the more your spirit 00:08:02.029 --> 00:08:06.790 man is built so much more to silence other distractions 00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:14.050 and noise from the environment. So most times 00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:17.089 when I begin to hear, for example, an instruction 00:08:17.089 --> 00:08:19.970 comes to my heart and God is reminding me, I 00:08:19.970 --> 00:08:23.410 will take care of you. Remember, I told you that 00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:26.790 I will take care of you. I share with my wife 00:08:26.790 --> 00:08:29.569 that most times, oh, often when I begin to get 00:08:29.569 --> 00:08:31.709 this instruction is because there's something 00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:35.389 major that is coming ahead of me and God is preparing 00:08:35.389 --> 00:08:40.909 my heart now to ensure that my faith wavers not 00:08:40.909 --> 00:08:45.840 at the things I'm desiring or expecting. So we 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.059 should pay attention. So all the teachings that 00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:51.220 we're going to get all this while till we end 00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:53.860 this part of the gift of the Spirit, this series, 00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:56.840 is important for us. Because whether you like 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.360 it or not, whether you know it or not, daily, 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:04.240 one of them is happening. Word of wisdom, word 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.940 of knowledge, discerning of spirit, one of them, 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.480 your oppression is coming. But because probably 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.860 you are not trained and taught, you will not 00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:13.899 think it is your thought and then you ignore 00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:18.559 it. Praise God. So we are learning now so that 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.419 we can take advantage and then see more of the 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:24.620 operation. One of the things that I said I was 00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.700 going to add to us, that please let's add this. 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:34.259 The word of knowledge is not mind reading. The 00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:38.059 word of knowledge is not what? The gift of the 00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:42.779 word of knowledge is not mind reading. It's not 00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:48.250 mind reading. It's not mind reading. You're not 00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:51.429 trying to read the mind. So when we say pray 00:09:51.429 --> 00:09:54.090 for somebody, that's why I'm saying this now. 00:09:54.149 --> 00:09:57.409 Because when we come to practicing more, when 00:09:57.409 --> 00:10:01.330 we say, can we pray for Tito? And then I come 00:10:01.330 --> 00:10:04.590 to Tito and then I hold the hand of Tito. I'm 00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:07.750 trying to use my, I don't know whether it's antenna 00:10:07.750 --> 00:10:09.909 you want to use or something you want to use. 00:10:10.049 --> 00:10:14.460 What is he thinking? What is he thinking? If 00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.200 you cannot think anything, you say, ah, sorry, 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.120 bro, I don't have a word for you. It's not mind 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:29.100 -reading. When it comes to the operation of the 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:32.159 things of the Spirit or the gifts of the Spirit, 00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:36.340 don't always lose touch with the source, the 00:10:36.340 --> 00:10:42.320 Holy Ghost. Praise God. Don't always lose touch 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.360 with who? With the source, the Spirit. When we 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.419 say give a word for somebody, don't be looking 00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:51.980 at the person. Rather, be speaking, be conversing 00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:54.519 with the Holy Ghost. Holy Spirit, what do you 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.840 have for my sister? Holy Spirit, what do you 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.679 have for my brother? What is the need that you 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.759 want to meet? Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.000 attention. As you're praying in the Holy Ghost, 00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:08.059 pay attention. As you're praying in the Holy 00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:10.639 Ghost, pay attention. As you're conscious about 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:16.440 what the Holy Ghost has, pay attention. Do you 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.679 know sometimes, as simple as I'm going for service, 00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:23.779 church service, I'm already conversing with the 00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.580 Holy Spirit. Please, how many people are you 00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:29.159 healing today? How many people are coming to 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.860 service sick? How many people today are confused? 00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.759 What is going to happen in the service today? 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.059 Even when I get into church, as service is going 00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:40.980 on, I'm praying in the Holy Ghost, I'm turning 00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.700 around to see the crowd. I'm turning around to 00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.159 see the crowd. And then suddenly, one of these 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.259 days, as I'm turning, I will say, you see that 00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:50.820 sister there? This is what I have for her. You 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:52.799 see that brother? This is what I have for him. 00:11:54.199 --> 00:11:57.720 And I go glow. So I don't need to wait until 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.779 there is an atmosphere or there is a space created 00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:05.059 for me to receive things that will strengthen 00:12:05.059 --> 00:12:08.740 and build the faith of my brothers or the local 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:18.039 church. Why? Because the Holy Ghost The Holy 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.600 Ghost, we've had it in the previous series. The 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.159 Holy Ghost has already given me the gifts. He's 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.019 waiting on me to use them. He's waiting on me 00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:33.320 to be able to work with them. He's waiting on 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.379 me to be able to work in love in all these gifts 00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:44.779 as I bring benefits to the local church. So what 00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:48.769 I'm saying in essence now, As we are now presently 00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:51.529 on this platform now, you can receive a word 00:12:51.529 --> 00:12:55.490 for somebody. Hallelujah. As we are on this platform 00:12:55.490 --> 00:12:58.649 now, pay attention now. Pay attention. Pay attention. 00:12:58.830 --> 00:13:01.710 You can scroll and see the names of people. Can 00:13:01.710 --> 00:13:03.929 we just do this in the next one minute? If your 00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:07.090 screen is not large, you can scroll and see the 00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:11.330 names of people front and back. The Holy Spirit 00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:18.070 is giving you a word now for someone. The Holy 00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:21.149 Spirit is giving you a word for someone. Pay 00:13:21.149 --> 00:13:23.990 attention. The Holy Spirit is giving you a word 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:29.649 for someone. Thank you, Holy Ghost. Thank you, 00:13:29.649 --> 00:13:34.809 Holy Ghost. We're going to come back to this 00:13:34.809 --> 00:13:37.990 part now at the end of the service because all 00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:40.610 the words that you're receiving, just pay attention 00:13:40.610 --> 00:13:46.419 to it. Pay attention to it and keep it. Do you 00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:48.179 know that the more you continue to practice, 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.100 we can ask you to give a word for everybody on 00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:55.679 this platform and you give them a word? Everybody 00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:01.100 on this platform. Everybody. I mean precise word 00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:09.259 of knowledge from the Holy Ghost. Yes. It's possible. 00:14:10.139 --> 00:14:13.669 It's a reality. By the Spirit of God, not by 00:14:13.669 --> 00:14:17.730 your own spirit or by your own ability. 1 Corinthians 00:14:17.730 --> 00:14:20.450 12 verse 8. For to one is given by the Spirit 00:14:20.450 --> 00:14:22.870 the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge 00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:27.129 by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same 00:14:27.129 --> 00:14:29.269 Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the 00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:31.730 same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, 00:14:32.070 --> 00:14:34.269 to another prophecy, to another designing of 00:14:34.269 --> 00:14:36.610 spirits, to another diverse kinds of tongues, 00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:40.850 to another interpretation. of tongues. 11 now. 00:14:40.889 --> 00:14:44.250 Now we stop there. But all these work that one 00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:47.610 and the self same spirit dividing to every man 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:52.870 severally as what? As he will. Praise God. And 00:14:52.870 --> 00:14:58.049 then when we read 1st we read 1st Samuel. Let's 00:14:58.049 --> 00:15:00.690 go there. 1st Samuel chapter 9. We read verse 00:15:00.690 --> 00:15:08.009 3, 5, 6, 15, 16, 19 and 20. And then we saw Prophet 00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:11.500 Samuel. Bring a direction. Let's go there, everybody. 00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:23.779 1 Samuel. 1 Samuel. 1 Samuel 9. I believe we 00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:26.320 know what the word of knowledge is from the last 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.740 teaching we had. I believe we know what the word 00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:35.320 of knowledge is not. We had a teaching on the 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.720 word knowledge. and then what it is not. And 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.059 now we are considering what the word of knowledge 00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:45.580 is. And we started by 1 Samuel 9 .3 .5 and then 00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:50.779 we read 20. So now let's go to 20. Everybody, 00:15:50.919 --> 00:16:02.539 1 Samuel 9 .20. Are we all there? Can we read 00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:10.070 verse 6 first before we read 20? And he said 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:13.190 unto the king, Behold, now there is in this city 00:16:13.190 --> 00:16:17.669 a what? A man of God, and he is an what? Honorable 00:16:17.669 --> 00:16:22.710 man. All that he said come to what? Come it surely 00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:30.490 to pass. A man of God says a thing, and it surely 00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:35.690 comes to what? To pass. Amen? It's important 00:16:35.690 --> 00:16:39.149 when it comes to the believer and words. The 00:16:39.149 --> 00:16:41.809 believer ought to be a man that is careful with 00:16:41.809 --> 00:16:45.830 his words. Praise God. And he said, now let us 00:16:45.830 --> 00:16:50.110 go thither, that eventually he can show us our 00:16:50.110 --> 00:16:56.350 way that we should, what? We should go. They 00:16:56.350 --> 00:17:00.230 are meeting the man of God to show them the way 00:17:00.230 --> 00:17:03.440 they should go. They are not meeting the man 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.000 of God regarding God's purposes and his agenda 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.140 for him to be anointed as a king or for him to 00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:12.400 be kept somewhere or something. No, they are 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.500 meeting the man of God for us, for him to tell 00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:20.039 them the way they should go. So they know that 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.299 this man of God has a track record. Let me use 00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:28.640 that carefully. That he has an integrity. And 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.619 that integrity is that when he says a word, it 00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:35.980 will surely come to what? To pass. Praise God. 00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:39.619 Then now they move to see the man of God. I have 00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:42.319 verse 20 now. Let's see what the man of God now 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:49.980 will say. Verse 20. And as for thine asses that 00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:55.000 were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.900 them. Amen. For they are what? They are found. 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:09.019 Hallelujah. So God will bring information to 00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:12.799 meet a need. So you can write it somewhere. The 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.940 word of knowledge in operation meets a need. 00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:20.519 The word of knowledge in operation meets what? 00:18:21.269 --> 00:18:25.630 needs a need. So God will give instructions, 00:18:25.869 --> 00:18:28.950 information from the Holy Ghost to the believer 00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:34.990 to meet a need. And on whom is all the desire 00:18:34.990 --> 00:18:40.450 of Israel? Is it not on thee and on all thy father's 00:18:40.450 --> 00:18:43.710 house? And Saul answered and said, Am I not the 00:18:43.710 --> 00:18:46.430 Benjamite of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? 00:18:49.130 --> 00:18:53.029 And thy and my family at the least of all the 00:18:53.029 --> 00:18:55.869 families of the tribe of Benjamin. Wherefore, 00:18:55.890 --> 00:18:59.990 then speakest thou so to what? To me. Praise 00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:09.630 God. And Samuel took Saul and his servant and 00:19:09.630 --> 00:19:13.950 brought them into the parlor and made them sit 00:19:13.950 --> 00:19:16.029 in the chiefest place among them that were bidding. 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.000 which were about thirty persons. And Samuel said 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.519 unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:24.299 thee, of which I said unto thee, said he by thee. 00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:27.380 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which 00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:30.079 was upon it, and said it before Saul. And Samuel 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.779 said, Behold, that which is left, said it before 00:19:32.779 --> 00:19:36.200 thee, and eat. For unto this time had it been 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.200 kept for thee, since I said, I have invited the 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:42.400 people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.960 25. And when they were come down from high place 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.200 into the city, Samuel came with Saul upon the 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.440 top of the house, and they arose early, and it 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.900 came to pass about the spring of the day that 00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:55.700 Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.579 Up that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, 00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:01.259 and they went out both of them, he and Samuel 00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:03.519 abroad. And as they were going down to the end 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.819 of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servants 00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:09.980 pass on before us. And he passed on. But stand 00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:12.960 thou still a while, that I may show thee the 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.539 what? That I may show thee the word of God. Hallelujah. 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.000 Praise God. Yes, so we see an operation of the 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.859 word of knowledge from Prophet Samuel to Saul 00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:31.619 here. Amen. Bringing the purposes of God over 00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:38.009 Saul to be anointed as king. So every time the 00:20:38.009 --> 00:20:42.269 word of knowledge comes, it's not for the giver, 00:20:42.309 --> 00:20:45.829 neither is it for the receiver. What is that 00:20:45.829 --> 00:20:53.089 the purposes of God should be established. The 00:20:53.089 --> 00:20:56.250 need of the receiver is met, but the purpose 00:20:56.250 --> 00:20:59.329 of God is what? Is established, is come to pass. 00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:02.960 So what is the purpose of God? That that need 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:05.880 is met, the faith of the person is built, or 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.579 that person has a direction, or that person is 00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:16.539 encouraged. This is important. So we see here 00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:20.200 that a need is met, one. Two, we also see that 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.900 the purpose of God for Israel is what? Is come 00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.960 to pass. Because there is Saul standing, and 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.990 Saul is to be anointed as king. Over here. over 00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:33.609 Israel. Hallelujah. Samuel didn't need to fast 00:21:33.609 --> 00:21:37.289 and he didn't need to do any special preparation. 00:21:38.130 --> 00:21:41.910 Remember in verse 6, he says that in the city 00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:46.150 there is what? There is a man of God. I say this 00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:50.049 now to us. You are a man of God because you have 00:21:50.049 --> 00:21:55.279 the spirit of God in you. You don't need any 00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.759 special preparation when it comes to the operation 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:04.420 of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. However, you 00:22:04.420 --> 00:22:07.039 just need to be conscious that you carry the 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.160 Spirit of God in you. You need to be conscious 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.400 that all the gifts and operations of the Holy 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:18.519 Ghost are manifested through you. So when we 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.319 say give a word for a sister, you don't need 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.599 to go, ah, I have not fasted, oh, I don't think 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:28.680 this thing will happen. Oh, no, I need to pray. 00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.299 I need to pray for like, maybe let me touch up. 00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:34.500 You know, I need to say this to us. When we say 00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:45.160 give a word and then. You go, you're not praying 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.019 in tongues to turn up a locomotive engine on. 00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:53.019 You were not called and then it's tongues. It's 00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:55.319 almost like, all we need to say is, it's almost 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.960 like when you pray in tongues, you are not trying 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.140 to, you're trying to locate from heaven. Or you 00:23:02.140 --> 00:23:04.220 are trying to locate from one mysterious realm. 00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:06.819 Where is the word? Where is the word? And when 00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:09.059 you now do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, you say, 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.900 brother, today, today there is no word. And then 00:23:13.900 --> 00:23:15.880 the next thing you now resolve to do is that, 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.190 let's go to Psalms number 103. I think from Psalms 00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:23.910 number 103, there is a word there for you. It 00:23:23.910 --> 00:23:26.910 says, bless the Lord, O my soul. Brother, the 00:23:26.910 --> 00:23:29.230 Lord is saying to you that you should rejoice 00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:34.710 always. That is the word I have for you. I have 00:23:34.710 --> 00:23:37.670 seen many of us use scriptures to run away from 00:23:37.670 --> 00:23:41.690 giving the word. They say, give a word by the 00:23:41.690 --> 00:23:45.849 Spirit, and then you go, okay, can we go to Matthew 00:23:45.849 --> 00:23:51.059 chapter 6? When you now see Matthew chapter 6, 00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:54.839 you know, it's not now. He said, no, no, no, 00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.859 I think I'm missing it. I'm missing it. Let's 00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:58.599 go to John. Let's go to John. Let's go to John. 00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:06.140 Remember, I said it on Sunday, that the word 00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:10.380 of knowledge is not the profound knowledge of 00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:17.359 the Bible. It's solely depending on the Holy 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:22.230 Ghost. To give you an information that naturally 00:24:22.230 --> 00:24:26.990 you will never have access to. And God is bringing 00:24:26.990 --> 00:24:30.109 this information because He wants to meet the 00:24:30.109 --> 00:24:32.910 need. He wants to guide. He wants to build faith. 00:24:33.130 --> 00:24:35.589 He wants to strengthen. He wants to bring the 00:24:35.589 --> 00:24:37.950 knowledge of His truth to that particular recipient. 00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:43.180 So you didn't see Prophet Saul will tell the 00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:46.559 Saul, Prophet Samuel, sorry. He didn't tell Saul 00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:48.480 and his servants, guys, wait, wait, wait, wait 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.539 for me. Let me go up out to my room and then 00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:56.319 consult God. No, no, no, no, no. Let me say this 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.759 now, having said all this, you can give a word 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.819 by the Spirit without necessarily starting out 00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:08.549 praying in tongues. Oh boy, thank you, Holy Spirit. 00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:13.049 We can tap you and say, please, brother, can 00:25:13.049 --> 00:25:19.750 you give us a word? You know, we ended prayers. 00:25:20.329 --> 00:25:22.869 Our brother Takunda ended a prayer from Romans 00:25:22.869 --> 00:25:26.029 chapter 12. He said that we stay what? Fervent. 00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:30.829 Staying fervent means that I am always conscious 00:25:30.829 --> 00:25:35.559 of the Holy Ghost. Staying firm means that, let 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.859 me use this word carefully for us, that I'm always 00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:41.140 charged when it comes to things that pertain 00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:47.730 to the things of the Spirit. So can we say, That 00:25:47.730 --> 00:25:49.789 there is a man of God somewhere in Yenikent. 00:25:49.930 --> 00:25:53.589 His name, or in Lefkosha, or in Kuchuk Kaimakri, 00:25:53.730 --> 00:25:57.650 his name is Ayomide Keinde, or Vivian, or Wino, 00:25:57.809 --> 00:26:02.130 or Lewis, or Caroline, or Mayowa, or Prince, 00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:06.410 or Mirakulamanda. There's a man of God somewhere 00:26:06.410 --> 00:26:11.009 in Hamidkoy called Mirakulamanda. If only we 00:26:11.009 --> 00:26:13.750 can meet her, we're going to hear the mind of 00:26:13.750 --> 00:26:18.869 God regarding this matter. and then they meet 00:26:18.869 --> 00:26:28.490 you, and then you give them precisely. The believer 00:26:28.490 --> 00:26:31.529 is operating by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. 00:26:32.890 --> 00:26:36.410 Praise God. Yes, so we needed that now. So now, 00:26:36.490 --> 00:26:40.630 when we go to 1 Samuel 10, verse 1, 1 Samuel 00:26:40.630 --> 00:26:43.609 10, we will see another operation again of the 00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:50.119 word of knowledge from the prophet. You remember 00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:54.039 on Sunday from the teaching we learned that the 00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.460 word of knowledge will be about things that have 00:26:56.460 --> 00:27:00.559 happened or things that are happening now. 1 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.200 Samuel chapter 10. 1 Samuel chapter 10. From 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:13.460 verse... Okay, so that we will not do long reading. 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:26.140 Can we start from verse 20? From verse 20. When 00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:27.799 you start reading 1 Samuel chapter 10, this is 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.140 after he has met the prophet. He was going back, 00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:32.759 he met other prophets, and then he started prophesying. 00:27:33.140 --> 00:27:36.680 Amen? And then from there now, he now came back 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.099 home. Then verse 20 now. And when Samuel had 00:27:39.099 --> 00:27:41.480 caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:46.259 the tribe of Benjamin was taken. We should not 00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:50.609 forget 1 Samuel chapter 10. Verse 20. The tribe 00:27:50.609 --> 00:27:53.950 of Benjamin was what? Was taking. And Samuel 00:27:53.950 --> 00:27:57.009 is from where? And Saul is from where? The tribe 00:27:57.009 --> 00:28:02.269 of where? Benjamin. Amen? Yes. So 21. When he 00:28:02.269 --> 00:28:04.410 had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near 00:28:04.410 --> 00:28:07.789 by their families, the family of Matri was taking. 00:28:08.690 --> 00:28:12.849 And Saul, the son of Kish, was taking. And when 00:28:12.849 --> 00:28:18.019 they sought him, they could not what? They could 00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:22.359 not find him. He could not be found. 22, everybody. 00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:26.160 Therefore, they inquired of the Lord further, 00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:31.200 if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:36.839 answered, behold, he had what? He had hid himself 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:42.359 among where? Among the stuff. See 23. And they 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:46.299 ran. and fetched him tents. And when he stood 00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:49.799 among the people, he was higher than any of the 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.259 people from his shoulder and upward. And Samuel 00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:56.799 said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:01.380 hath chosen, that there is none like him among 00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:04.599 all the people. And all the people shouted and 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:11.339 said, God save the king. Hallelujah. Saul went 00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:17.299 and hid himself. You know, and they looked for 00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:19.740 him. They could not what? They could not find 00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:24.220 him. The prophet had to give a word of his location. 00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:30.000 You know, has it ever happened to you? Let's 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.299 make it practical before we move on. You're looking 00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:36.160 for something in your house and then something 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.299 is missing in your house. And then you go, Holy 00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:40.900 Spirit, please, can you show me the place? Can 00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:44.720 you show me the place? I see a couple of us are 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.359 smiling. A couple of us are smiling. And then 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.480 you just go and relax. Then after a while, after 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.140 a while, you now hear inside your heart a voice. 00:29:56.380 --> 00:30:01.220 Check under the chair. And then you just move 00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:04.400 straight. And mind you, you have checked there 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.059 before. In fact, you have turned everywhere. 00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:09.930 Side right, side up, everywhere. But then now, 00:30:09.950 --> 00:30:12.289 you know, after you just said, Holy Spirit, can 00:30:12.289 --> 00:30:15.190 you show me where it is, please? And then you 00:30:15.190 --> 00:30:18.930 go and relax. By evening, you didn't hear, can 00:30:18.930 --> 00:30:22.390 you check behind the door? And then you just 00:30:22.390 --> 00:30:25.809 move straight behind the door. And behold, what 00:30:25.809 --> 00:30:28.849 you're looking for is there. You know, you're 00:30:28.849 --> 00:30:33.029 not just... I don't know whether you either jump 00:30:33.029 --> 00:30:36.509 around or you smile or you... You know, it has 00:30:36.509 --> 00:30:39.400 happened to me several times. And then I will 00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.059 now go, this thing is working, oh. This thing 00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:51.960 is working. When I didn't know, now, I didn't 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.859 know that it was the Holy Ghost. In secondary 00:30:54.859 --> 00:30:57.259 school, several times, if you have not lost key 00:30:57.259 --> 00:31:00.400 in secondary school, then you are a legend. If 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.160 you have not lost your key in secondary school, 00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:04.559 with the key to your drawer, to your locker or 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.900 something, then you are a legend. You must really 00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:09.160 be a disciplined person in your secondary school. 00:31:10.859 --> 00:31:14.579 But I've lost keys many times. But you know, 00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:18.240 because of even the location where our school 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.180 is, it's inside a bush under the mountain, you 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:23.720 can't lose a key and even bother looking for 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.740 it. You just break the padlock or break the locker 00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:30.480 somehow. But you know, many a times I'll lose 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.259 a key and I'll go... Please show me, Lord. Show 00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:35.539 me, Lord. Show me, Lord. I will walk down to 00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:37.859 the classroom and come up again. I will walk 00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:40.259 down. Then I will branch to the road that leads 00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:44.099 to the kitchen site. You know, as I'm branching 00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:45.920 to the... I want to see the key on the ground. 00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.940 I say, ah! This thing is working. Then... I would 00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:53.900 say this thing is working. But if you are here 00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:56.880 and you are hearing this, my voice now, it's 00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.500 not this thing that is working. It's the word 00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:02.759 of knowledge that the Holy Ghost is operating, 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.960 is bringing to your heart regarding that particular 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:11.480 thing. Praise God. So we see Saul, you know, 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:17.460 hiding himself and the Lord exposing him so that 00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:27.579 he will be anointed. Okay. Glory to God. 1 Kings 00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:34.619 18 37. 1 Kings 18 37. The Lord had to snitch 00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:41.240 on Saul so that he would be anointed. 1 Kings. 00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:52.670 1 Kings. Chapter 18. Let's see another scenario 00:32:52.670 --> 00:33:02.049 here. 1837. Are we all there? 1837. Hear me, 00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:04.490 O Lord, hear me, that these people may know thou 00:33:04.490 --> 00:33:07.329 art the Lord God and thou hast turned their heart 00:33:07.329 --> 00:33:13.230 back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell and 00:33:13.230 --> 00:33:16.289 consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and 00:33:16.289 --> 00:33:18.710 the stones and the dust and licked up the water 00:33:18.710 --> 00:33:21.900 that was in the trench. And when all the people 00:33:21.900 --> 00:33:23.819 saw it, they fell on their faces, and they said, 00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:27.160 The Lord is God, the Lord God is God. And Elijah 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.180 said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let 00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:31.539 not one of them escape. And they took them, and 00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:33.400 Elijah brought them down to the brook of Kishon 00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:35.980 and slew them there. And Elijah said unto Ahab, 00:33:36.269 --> 00:33:38.750 Get thee up, eat and drink, and there is a sound 00:33:38.750 --> 00:33:41.869 of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat 00:33:41.869 --> 00:33:43.970 and to drink, and Elijah went up to the top of 00:33:43.970 --> 00:33:46.250 the camel, and he cast himself down upon the 00:33:46.250 --> 00:33:48.230 earth and put his face between his knees, and 00:33:48.230 --> 00:33:49.829 said to his servant, Go up now and look toward 00:33:49.829 --> 00:33:52.109 the sea. And he went up and looked and said, 00:33:52.130 --> 00:33:53.910 There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven 00:33:53.910 --> 00:33:56.130 times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, 00:33:56.190 --> 00:33:58.769 he said, Behold, there arised a little cloud 00:33:58.769 --> 00:34:01.230 out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, 00:34:01.269 --> 00:34:03.710 Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and 00:34:03.710 --> 00:34:06.660 get thee down. that the rain stopped thee not. 00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:10.500 And it came to pass in the what? Meanwhile, that 00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:13.559 when the heaven was black with clouds and wind, 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.579 and there was a great rain, and Ahab rode and 00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:18.380 went to Jezreel, and the hand of the Lord was 00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:21.059 on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and ran 00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:24.820 before what? And ran before Ahab to the entrance 00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:29.039 of where? Of Jezreel. Right? Elijah is just coming 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:33.110 out of a mighty, mighty display. Right? Good. 00:34:33.130 --> 00:34:37.510 So let's go to chapter 19 now. See chapter 19 00:34:37.510 --> 00:34:42.210 verse 2. Let's see chapter 19 from verse 1. And 00:34:42.210 --> 00:34:44.989 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and 00:34:44.989 --> 00:34:47.869 with all how he had slain all the prophets with 00:34:47.869 --> 00:34:51.289 a sword. See verse 2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger 00:34:51.289 --> 00:34:55.530 unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me 00:34:55.530 --> 00:35:02.449 a more also, if I make not thy life. As the life 00:35:02.449 --> 00:35:06.030 of one of them. By what? By tomorrow about what? 00:35:06.230 --> 00:35:08.409 About this time. What she is telling Elijah is 00:35:08.409 --> 00:35:11.110 I will cut your head too. The way you cut the 00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:15.730 head of those prophets. And Elijah knows that 00:35:15.730 --> 00:35:22.150 this is not a threat. This woman was not bluffing 00:35:22.150 --> 00:35:25.590 around. She wants to take your head. She will 00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:35.530 take it straight. Then now. Let's now run down 00:35:35.530 --> 00:35:44.010 to verse 15. From verse 14, let's see Elijah's 00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:47.530 complaint. And he said, I have been very jealous 00:35:47.530 --> 00:35:50.230 for the Lord God of hosts because the children 00:35:50.230 --> 00:35:52.750 of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown 00:35:52.750 --> 00:35:55.789 down thy altars and slain thy prophets with the 00:35:55.789 --> 00:35:59.469 sword. And I, please pay attention to what Elijah 00:35:59.469 --> 00:36:06.559 is saying. And I, even I only, am what? I'm left, 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:11.539 and they seek my life to take it away. And the 00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:14.539 Lord said unto him, Go return on thy way to the 00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:16.760 wilderness of Damascus, and when thou comest, 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:20.199 anoint Hazael to be the king over Syria. And 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.380 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be 00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:25.139 king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat 00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:28.820 of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet 00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:31.400 in thy room. And it shall come to pass that him 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.579 that escaped the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay. 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.639 And him that escaped from the sword of Jehu shall 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.699 Elisha what? Slay. Everybody see verse 18 now. 00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:50.980 Yet. So this is a news that Elijah is not aware 00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:55.760 of. In verse 14, Elijah said, I am the only one 00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:03.070 that is what? That is left. Yet I have left me 00:37:03.070 --> 00:37:11.030 seven thousand prophets in Israel, all the knees 00:37:11.030 --> 00:37:16.590 which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth 00:37:16.590 --> 00:37:21.809 which hath not kissed him. So he departed then 00:37:21.809 --> 00:37:23.949 and found Elijah the son of Shaphat who was plowing 00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:26.010 with the twelve yoke of oxen before him. And 00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:28.289 he with the twelve, Elijah passed him and cast 00:37:28.289 --> 00:37:34.750 his mantle away upon him. So God brought a word 00:37:34.750 --> 00:37:38.110 of knowledge to Elijah that he is not aware of. 00:37:40.409 --> 00:37:43.409 This is a man that is already complaining and 00:37:43.409 --> 00:37:45.829 shouting and saying, I am the only one left. 00:37:45.949 --> 00:37:50.610 All the prophets have been slain. And God is 00:37:50.610 --> 00:37:56.150 telling him, no, I have left of me. Now, current 00:37:56.150 --> 00:38:00.730 news. Now, Elijah, my prophet, listen. Presently 00:38:00.730 --> 00:38:04.409 now, in case you don't know, know this, that 00:38:04.409 --> 00:38:08.369 there are 7 ,000 other prophets that have not 00:38:08.369 --> 00:38:15.269 bowed their knees unto power. Praise God. This 00:38:15.269 --> 00:38:27.019 is so important. Then now, let's go to Elisha 00:38:27.019 --> 00:38:31.000 now and see what Elisha did. 2 Kings 5, verse 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:39.300 21. So we see God speak to Elijah and tell him, 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.599 no, no, no, no. In case you don't know, I have 00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.360 7 ,000. In this same location where you are, 00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:48.719 there are 7 ,000 others that have not bowed down 00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:57.280 their knees. 2 Kings 5. 2 Kings 5, verse 21. 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.440 So Gehazi followed after Naaman, and when Naaman 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.719 saw him running after him, he lighted down from 00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.059 the chariot to meet him and said, It's all well. 00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:09.940 And he said, All is well. My master had what? 00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:14.960 Had sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.900 come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of 00:39:17.900 --> 00:39:20.739 the sons of the prophets. Give them, I pray thee, 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.719 a talent of silver and two changes of garments. 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.320 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. 00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.880 And he urged him and bound two talents of silver 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.239 in two bags with two changes of garments and 00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:35.579 laid them upon two of his servants and they bared 00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:39.480 them before him. I can just see Gehazi just shaking 00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:41.679 his head and happy like today. Yeah, finally, 00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:47.480 I've hit it. You know, in Hausa, there's something 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:52.230 that we call Roman Bishara. The steel of ministry. 00:39:52.570 --> 00:39:55.190 Maybe you must have heard Pastor Victor use that 00:39:55.190 --> 00:39:59.489 word. In English, direct translation in English 00:39:59.489 --> 00:40:02.550 is the steel of ministry. It's like the benefit 00:40:02.550 --> 00:40:05.789 of ministry. Gehazi does not want the benefit 00:40:05.789 --> 00:40:09.929 of ministry to miss him. He had to run to Katov 00:40:09.929 --> 00:40:15.070 and see now. 24. And when he came to the tower, 00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:18.260 He took them from their hand and placed them 00:40:18.260 --> 00:40:20.960 in the house, and he let the men go, and they 00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.539 departed. But when he went in and stood before 00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:27.360 his master, see what Elisha will say. And Elisha 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:32.780 said unto him, Whence comest thou? Gehazi, and 00:40:32.780 --> 00:40:46.150 he said, Thy servant went nowhere. And he said 00:40:46.150 --> 00:40:52.869 unto him, Went not mine heart with thee? When 00:40:52.869 --> 00:40:55.110 the man turned again from his chariot to meet 00:40:55.110 --> 00:40:58.130 thee, is it a time to receive money and to receive 00:40:58.130 --> 00:41:01.050 garments and olive yards and vineyards and sheep 00:41:01.050 --> 00:41:04.530 and oxen and maize? You see, Elisha was mentioning, 00:41:04.889 --> 00:41:07.510 Elisha was not there to see the things that were 00:41:07.510 --> 00:41:14.110 given to Gehazi. Praise God. He was not there. 00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:18.619 To see somebody who say, the spirit of the prophet 00:41:18.619 --> 00:41:20.659 is always following the servants. I don't know 00:41:20.659 --> 00:41:27.380 about that. But Elisha was not there. But Elisha 00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:31.840 told him, when's not my spirit with thee? Why 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:34.639 will you say you didn't go anywhere? However, 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.179 these are the things that you did. You did this, 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:42.769 you did this, you did this. 37. The leprosy therefore 00:41:42.769 --> 00:41:46.449 of Naaman shall cleave unto thee and unto thy 00:41:46.449 --> 00:41:48.869 seed forever. And he went out from his presence 00:41:48.869 --> 00:41:55.889 a leper as wide as snow. So we see, we see Elisha 00:41:55.889 --> 00:42:01.389 being able to, or we see the operation of the 00:42:01.389 --> 00:42:04.050 word of knowledge in Elisha, right? To expose 00:42:04.050 --> 00:42:11.590 a wrong that Gehazi did. Amen? This is important. 00:42:11.989 --> 00:42:26.130 To expose a wrong that Gehazi did. So he was 00:42:26.130 --> 00:42:28.969 sitting in his own house and yet he was able 00:42:28.969 --> 00:42:32.070 to see the things that his servant had to do 00:42:32.070 --> 00:42:38.820 regarding the gifts that he collected. So we 00:42:38.820 --> 00:42:42.599 see him, he was lying. He was being hypocritical 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:46.739 regarding what, you know, he was not supposed 00:42:46.739 --> 00:42:49.039 to receive. Because Elisha asked him, is it a 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.260 time to receive these kind of things? It's not 00:42:51.260 --> 00:42:55.139 a time for it. Yet, God gone ahead to do that. 00:42:55.380 --> 00:42:58.519 So we see an operation there of the word of knowledge. 00:43:11.279 --> 00:43:14.119 And the king of Syria warred against Israel and 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.159 took counsel with his servants, saying, In such 00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.519 and such a place shall be my camp. And you see, 00:43:19.579 --> 00:43:23.679 the king of Syria is making a plan far away from... 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:26.739 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:29.360 saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, 00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.039 for thither the Syrians are come down. And the 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.340 king of Israel sent to the place, which the man 00:43:34.340 --> 00:43:37.079 of God told him and warned him of, and saved 00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:41.420 himself there, not once, not twice. Therefore 00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:43.519 the heart of the king of Syria was so troubled 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.000 for this thing, and he called his servant and 00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.940 said unto them, Will ye not show me which of 00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:52.719 us is for the king of Israel? And who is among 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:56.599 us? that is betraying us. See verse 12, everybody. 00:43:56.900 --> 00:44:00.920 And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O 00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:06.380 king, but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:12.300 tell the king of Israel the words that thou speakest 00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:20.050 in thy bed, Shamba. Elisha is not with the king 00:44:20.050 --> 00:44:24.789 of Syria, yet we see God reveal the plans of 00:44:24.789 --> 00:44:31.309 the king of Syria against Israel. He brings the 00:44:31.309 --> 00:44:35.349 knowledge, the information now to preserve the 00:44:35.349 --> 00:44:43.190 children of Israel. Hallelujah. We see in John 00:44:43.190 --> 00:44:50.480 now, John chapter 4. In John chapter 4. John 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:57.539 chapter 4. The next time we're going to do on 00:44:57.539 --> 00:45:00.619 the word of wisdom, I will give us more scriptures, 00:45:00.699 --> 00:45:02.820 extras. There are a lot of scriptures here that 00:45:02.820 --> 00:45:05.320 I have here that I will give us from the Old 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.280 Testament to corroborate all this that we have 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:16.679 been considering. John chapter 4. John chapter 00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:39.710 4. Let's see John chapter 4, verse 7. Jesus answered 00:45:39.710 --> 00:45:41.789 and said unto her, If thou doest the gift of 00:45:41.789 --> 00:45:44.610 God, and who is it that said to thee, Give me 00:45:44.610 --> 00:45:47.329 to drink, thou couldst have asked of him, and 00:45:47.329 --> 00:45:48.969 he could have given thee living water. The woman 00:45:48.969 --> 00:45:51.130 said unto him, Sir, thou hast not it, draw it, 00:45:51.250 --> 00:45:54.190 and thou well, and the well is deep. And from 00:45:54.190 --> 00:45:56.909 whence then hast thou that living water? Art 00:45:56.909 --> 00:45:58.789 thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave 00:45:58.789 --> 00:46:02.489 us well of the well, and drank thereof himself, 00:46:02.630 --> 00:46:05.530 and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered 00:46:05.530 --> 00:46:08.250 and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this 00:46:08.250 --> 00:46:10.929 water, shall thirst again. But whosoever drinketh 00:46:10.929 --> 00:46:12.469 of the water that I shall give him shall never 00:46:12.469 --> 00:46:15.110 thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall 00:46:15.110 --> 00:46:17.190 be in him a well of water springing up unto everlasting 00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:19.809 life. The woman said unto him, Sir, give me this 00:46:19.809 --> 00:46:22.429 water that I thirst not, neither come either 00:46:22.429 --> 00:46:25.130 to draw. Can you see where Jesus started the 00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:27.650 conversation from, right? He started the conversation 00:46:27.650 --> 00:46:32.210 from water, right? 6, 16, sorry. Jesus said unto 00:46:32.210 --> 00:46:36.769 her, Go call thy husband and come what? Either, 00:46:36.929 --> 00:46:40.190 please tell me. How is husband connected with 00:46:40.190 --> 00:46:48.610 water? The discourse was on water, drinking water. 00:46:48.690 --> 00:46:52.409 Give me water to what? To drink. But yet, because 00:46:52.409 --> 00:46:56.590 Jesus wants to establish something. 16, now, 00:46:56.670 --> 00:47:01.269 suddenly, 16, by the word of knowledge now, Jesus 00:47:01.269 --> 00:47:04.489 said unto her, Go call thy husband and come what? 00:47:20.349 --> 00:47:24.530 Now see what Jesus will go ahead to tell her 00:47:24.530 --> 00:47:32.630 now. Everybody now, verse 18. In the past, five 00:47:32.630 --> 00:47:39.849 husbands. And he whom thou now, that thou hast, 00:47:40.110 --> 00:47:44.170 is not even thy what? He is not thy husband, 00:47:44.670 --> 00:47:50.730 him that said thy what? Truly. Praise God. The 00:47:50.730 --> 00:47:56.289 woman said unto him, Sha, I see thou art a what? 00:47:56.469 --> 00:48:02.449 A prophet. Praise God. Then now, when we now 00:48:02.449 --> 00:48:11.050 quickly run down, Verse 39. Verse 39, everybody. 00:48:14.030 --> 00:48:32.329 And many more believed because of his words. 00:48:32.650 --> 00:48:36.849 because of his own words. So we see the operation 00:48:36.849 --> 00:48:43.650 of the word of knowledge is that people are being 00:48:43.650 --> 00:48:49.670 led to believe God. People are led to understand 00:48:49.670 --> 00:48:53.210 the plans of God, the purposes of God, the will 00:48:53.210 --> 00:48:57.480 of God. So when a word of knowledge, when you 00:48:57.480 --> 00:48:59.440 are giving the word of knowledge or a word of 00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.000 knowledge to a recipient, to a brother, to a 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:05.380 sister somewhere, that people are led to see 00:49:05.380 --> 00:49:09.880 Jesus more. So the word of knowledge and all 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:13.199 the gifts of the Spirit will lead people to Christ, 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:17.099 will open the eyes of people to understand the 00:49:17.099 --> 00:49:21.179 purposes of God, the plans of God, the will of 00:49:21.179 --> 00:49:24.630 God. Hallelujah. The truth of God's knowledge 00:49:24.630 --> 00:49:27.610 and the truth of God's word regarding the matter. 00:49:31.309 --> 00:49:37.809 We see in John chapter 11 verse 11 to 21. After 00:49:37.809 --> 00:49:40.110 they met Jesus regarding his friend Lazarus. 00:49:40.570 --> 00:49:43.190 See what he said in verse 11. John chapter 11 00:49:43.190 --> 00:49:46.590 verse 11. This is said he. And after that he 00:49:46.590 --> 00:49:52.150 said unto them. Our friend Lazarus what? At this 00:49:52.150 --> 00:49:54.869 point, when they met him, Lazarus had not died. 00:49:55.869 --> 00:49:59.429 But he told them, Our friend Lazarus was sleeping, 00:49:59.650 --> 00:50:03.650 but I go that I may awake him out of the sleep. 00:50:03.809 --> 00:50:06.650 Then said his disciple, Lord, if he sleep, he 00:50:06.650 --> 00:50:10.250 shall do well. How be it? Jesus spoke of his 00:50:10.250 --> 00:50:15.030 what? Of his death. But they thought that he 00:50:15.030 --> 00:50:18.929 had spoken of taking of what? Of rest in sleep. 00:50:19.500 --> 00:50:22.440 So Jesus was talking about, you know, by the 00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.139 word of knowledge, he was talking about an event 00:50:25.139 --> 00:50:28.679 that is happening with Lazarus. When we now move 00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:32.860 14, they said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus 00:50:32.860 --> 00:50:37.000 is what? He's dead. Jesus is not in the location. 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:40.559 He was never close in the location. But yet, 00:50:40.739 --> 00:50:43.920 by the word of knowledge, he was able to know 00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:47.510 what has happened to his friend Lazarus. Then 00:50:47.510 --> 00:50:50.730 we now see Martha in verse 20. Then Martha, as 00:50:50.730 --> 00:50:52.809 soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went 00:50:52.809 --> 00:50:54.869 and met him, but Mary sat still in the house. 00:50:55.030 --> 00:50:58.130 Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hast 00:50:58.130 --> 00:51:02.769 been here, my brother hath not, what? Hath not 00:51:02.769 --> 00:51:06.869 died. But I know that even now, can you see belief 00:51:06.869 --> 00:51:09.710 again? Hallelujah. Can you see belief again? 00:51:10.510 --> 00:51:14.050 But I know that even now, whatsoever thou will 00:51:14.050 --> 00:51:18.489 ask of God, God will give it. What? Will give 00:51:18.489 --> 00:51:22.650 it to you. Praise God. So by the word of knowledge, 00:51:22.789 --> 00:51:27.110 Jesus was able to know accurately that Lazarus' 00:51:27.130 --> 00:51:32.949 friend had what? Had died. Praise God. He will 00:51:32.949 --> 00:51:36.460 not have had access to that. He would not have 00:51:36.460 --> 00:51:40.440 known. So naturally, some sort of information 00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:45.159 was to be sent to him. He would have received 00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:48.099 a message sent across to him regarding that. 00:51:48.300 --> 00:51:50.739 But by the word of knowledge, he was able to 00:51:50.739 --> 00:51:59.219 know. Amen? Acts chapter 9 verse 4. Or Acts chapter 00:51:59.219 --> 00:52:01.460 9 verse 10. Let's go to Acts chapter 9 verse 00:52:01.460 --> 00:52:13.099 10. Acts chapter 9 verse 10. And there was a 00:52:13.099 --> 00:52:18.019 certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. Take 00:52:18.019 --> 00:52:20.940 note of that. A disciple. Amen. He's a believer. 00:52:21.179 --> 00:52:25.260 Named Ananias. Certain disciple at Damascus. 00:52:25.300 --> 00:52:28.599 Named Ananias. And to him said the Lord in a 00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:33.780 vision. Amen. Hallelujah. In a what? In a vision. 00:52:33.860 --> 00:52:37.099 Take note of that. In a vision. Ananias. And 00:52:37.099 --> 00:52:39.219 he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord 00:52:39.219 --> 00:52:41.460 said unto him, Arise, go into the street which 00:52:41.460 --> 00:52:43.019 is called straight, and inquire in the house 00:52:43.019 --> 00:52:47.380 of Judah for one called Saul of Tarsus. For behold, 00:52:47.500 --> 00:52:52.179 he prayed. Now you see, the Lord is telling Ananias 00:52:52.179 --> 00:52:54.800 an information that is happening now regarding 00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:58.480 Saul. That Saul is what? Is praying. And has 00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:02.219 seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in. 00:53:02.590 --> 00:53:05.369 God is even telling him that Saul has seen what? 00:53:05.469 --> 00:53:12.030 A vision. Amen. He is telling, he is praying, 00:53:12.289 --> 00:53:14.989 and at the same time, he has also what? Seen 00:53:14.989 --> 00:53:17.969 a vision. Ananias in a different location, Saul 00:53:17.969 --> 00:53:20.690 in a different location. I said, come in and 00:53:20.690 --> 00:53:22.969 put his hand on him, and he might receive what? 00:53:23.070 --> 00:53:25.550 His sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have 00:53:25.550 --> 00:53:28.960 heard by many of you. Many of this man, how much 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.480 evil he had done to thy servant at Jerusalem. 00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:34.179 And he had authority from the chief priest to 00:53:34.179 --> 00:53:36.260 bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord 00:53:36.260 --> 00:53:38.559 said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a what? 00:53:39.619 --> 00:53:42.980 For he is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my 00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:45.699 name before the Gentiles and the kings and the 00:53:45.699 --> 00:53:48.619 children of Israel. For I will show him how great 00:53:48.619 --> 00:53:52.880 things he must what? He must suffer for my name's 00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:57.260 sake. Praise God. So we see God bring a complete 00:53:57.260 --> 00:54:00.059 knowledge to Ananias regarding the ministry of 00:54:00.059 --> 00:54:02.980 who? Regarding the ministry of Saul. Praise God. 00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.420 Hallelujah. That Saul will bear his name, Saul 00:54:06.420 --> 00:54:09.139 will do the work of ministry, and Saul should 00:54:09.139 --> 00:54:10.679 be anointed by him, should pray for him that 00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:13.760 he may see, and Saul is going to suffer for his 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:19.039 name what? For his name's sake. Praise God. So 00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:23.320 Ananias had all these facts about Paul. Being 00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:30.840 revealed to him by God. All the visions that 00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:36.519 he has had. Amen. So we see him now in Acts chapter 00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:48.440 9. Acts chapter 9 verse 4, verse 5, verse 6. 00:54:48.579 --> 00:54:52.380 Where Jesus met Saul on his way. to Damascus. 00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:58.639 Amen? Acts chapter 5, verse 1 to 4. Acts chapter 00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:02.300 5, verse 1 to 4. We've read it, but let's also 00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:19.800 read it again. Acts chapter 5. Why had Satan 00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:23.559 filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and 00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:26.619 to keep back part of the price of the land? Whilst 00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:29.320 it remained, was it not thy own? And after it 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:31.639 was so, was it not in thy own power? Why hast 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:36.860 thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou 00:55:36.860 --> 00:55:40.340 hast not lied unto men, or unto who? But unto 00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:46.519 God. So, Peter had this information about... 00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:49.820 the arrangement between Ananias and Sapphira, 00:55:49.900 --> 00:55:55.980 his wife, by the word of knowledge. He would 00:55:55.980 --> 00:55:58.579 not have known. He was not in their house. He 00:55:58.579 --> 00:56:00.800 was not in their bedroom. He was not around when 00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:02.780 they sold the land. He was not around when they 00:56:02.780 --> 00:56:04.840 collected the money. He was not around when they 00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.539 shared the money, kept the other part to themselves. 00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.679 And then he was not around when they left to 00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.199 come and meet him to submit the remaining one. 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:19.710 He was not there. So the Holy Ghost will bring 00:56:19.710 --> 00:56:22.630 into manifestation through you. An information 00:56:22.630 --> 00:56:26.250 that naturally should have reached you. But you 00:56:26.250 --> 00:56:28.789 are not within the location. You are not within 00:56:28.789 --> 00:56:31.289 the event. You are not within there. So God will 00:56:31.289 --> 00:56:38.130 bring that information. Acts chapter 10. Let's 00:56:38.130 --> 00:56:40.510 add these other scriptures. Acts chapter 10 verse 00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:49.360 4. Acts chapter 10 verse 4. Acts chapter 10 verse 00:56:49.360 --> 00:57:03.179 17 to 19. Revelation chapter 1 verse 10 to 20. 00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:11.239 Revelation chapter 1 verse 10 to 20. John in 00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:16.039 the island of Patmos. Acts chapter 10 verse 4, 00:57:16.099 --> 00:57:19.099 Acts chapter 10 verse 17 to 19, Revelation chapter 00:57:19.099 --> 00:57:22.780 1 verse 10 to 20, John in the island of Patmos. 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:29.460 He was not in the churches. He didn't know the 00:57:29.460 --> 00:57:32.159 state of the churches. He didn't know their shortcoming. 00:57:32.340 --> 00:57:34.519 He didn't know what they had done. He didn't 00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:37.619 know what is happening currently. But yet, he 00:57:37.619 --> 00:57:41.139 was able to receive by vision their state. Amen? 00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:44.599 So when we come to talk about the word of wisdom 00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:48.039 properly, we're going to read all these places 00:57:48.039 --> 00:57:50.380 back again because there are some things that 00:57:50.380 --> 00:57:53.420 we need to see from there as relating to the 00:57:53.420 --> 00:57:55.480 word of knowledge and then the word of wisdom 00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:59.059 in operation. Amen. This is important for us. 00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:02.619 Praise God. So let's write this. How to receive 00:58:02.619 --> 00:58:06.420 the word of knowledge. How to receive the word 00:58:06.420 --> 00:58:10.280 of knowledge. How to receive the word of knowledge. 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:17.699 The word of knowledge, please write this down. 00:58:17.860 --> 00:58:20.340 The word of knowledge and the word of wisdom 00:58:20.340 --> 00:58:25.099 can be manifested through various means in the 00:58:25.099 --> 00:58:29.000 believer. The word of knowledge and the word 00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.280 of wisdom can be manifested through various means 00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:33.719 in the believer. Pay attention to all the places 00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:36.039 that we've been reading. There is a manner in 00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:40.360 which they know the information. There is a manner 00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:42.679 in which they are receiving the information. 00:58:42.820 --> 00:58:46.949 Amen? So the word of knowledge and the word of 00:58:46.949 --> 00:58:50.690 wisdom can be manifested by various means in 00:58:50.690 --> 00:58:55.650 the believer. One. One. It can come to the believer 00:58:55.650 --> 00:58:59.610 through audible voice of the Holy Spirit within. 00:59:01.710 --> 00:59:05.349 It can come to the believer through what? The 00:59:05.349 --> 00:59:09.110 audible voice of the Holy Spirit within. Called 00:59:09.110 --> 00:59:18.719 an inner witness. Inner witness. Inner witness. 00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:23.460 It has come to the believer through the audible 00:59:23.460 --> 00:59:25.960 voice of the Holy Spirit within, which is the 00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:29.619 inner witness. And the inner witness, the inner 00:59:29.619 --> 00:59:35.280 witness comes as a knowing, comes as a knowing, 00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:47.239 comes as a prompting, comes as impression. Comes 00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:55.340 as a notch. It comes as a knowing. Comes as a 00:59:55.340 --> 00:59:58.579 prompting. Comes as an impression. And then a 00:59:58.579 --> 01:00:06.920 notch. You just know that this is what is happening. 01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:09.860 And you are getting the information from the 01:00:09.860 --> 01:00:15.480 Holy Ghost. A believer can receive the word of 01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:22.739 knowledge. Through a vision. He can receive the 01:00:22.739 --> 01:00:30.539 word of knowledge through a vision. He can receive 01:00:30.539 --> 01:00:38.840 a word of knowledge through a dream. Through 01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:42.400 a vision, through a dream, he can receive a word 01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:49.030 of knowledge. Through tongues and interpretation. 01:00:54.050 --> 01:01:01.090 Through tongues and interpretation. And the believer 01:01:01.090 --> 01:01:03.489 can receive the word of knowledge or a word of 01:01:03.489 --> 01:01:15.710 knowledge through prophecy. So all the gifts 01:01:15.710 --> 01:01:19.119 of the Holy Ghost. are working hand in hand together. 01:01:19.420 --> 01:01:23.199 They are working hand in hand together. In fact, 01:01:23.219 --> 01:01:24.679 we're going to establish that much more when 01:01:24.679 --> 01:01:27.159 we are talking about the word of wisdom. All 01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:29.619 these places, we're going to establish them well 01:01:29.619 --> 01:01:31.960 when we are discussing the word of wisdom because 01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:34.679 it's important. We're going to see how all the 01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:37.079 gifts are connected together and then they are 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:39.940 manifesting all at operation in the believer. 01:01:45.579 --> 01:01:53.780 Is that clear for all of us? Good. So now, let's 01:01:53.780 --> 01:01:57.800 write this now. So, the word of knowledge will 01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:02.860 say enough facts. The word of knowledge will 01:02:02.860 --> 01:02:07.079 say or give enough information from the mind 01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:12.519 of God. The word of knowledge is the last thing 01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.570 now. The word of knowledge... Will give enough 01:02:15.570 --> 01:02:19.409 information from the mind of God to the believer. 01:02:28.449 --> 01:02:32.670 So that the recipient. So that the recipient. 01:02:35.949 --> 01:02:43.070 Can understand God's mind. Let me say it again. 01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:47.260 The word of knowledge will give enough information 01:02:47.260 --> 01:02:51.340 from the mind of God to the believer so that 01:02:51.340 --> 01:02:56.019 the recipient can understand the mind of God 01:02:56.019 --> 01:03:00.159 regarding the matter, regarding the event, regarding 01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:14.809 the need and etc. The word of knowledge does 01:03:14.809 --> 01:03:18.849 not come to harass or intimidate people or condemn 01:03:18.849 --> 01:03:23.469 them. The word of knowledge does not come to 01:03:23.469 --> 01:03:28.210 harass or intimidate people or condemn them. 01:03:46.380 --> 01:03:56.420 But rather, it comes to bring help to people 01:03:56.420 --> 01:04:02.380 in love. But rather, it comes to bring help to 01:04:02.380 --> 01:04:08.519 people in what? In love. In love. There is no 01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:10.800 harassment. There is no intimidation. There is 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:14.739 no condemnation. But rather, the recipients enjoy 01:04:14.739 --> 01:04:21.760 help. from the Lord in love. Praise God. So like 01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:25.440 we said, that the word of knowledge is about 01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:29.139 what has happened and what is happening now. 01:04:29.260 --> 01:04:34.440 Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, so 01:04:34.440 --> 01:04:38.219 lastly, this is the second time I'm using lastly, 01:04:38.340 --> 01:04:40.860 but this lastly I'm using will have to do with 01:04:40.860 --> 01:04:45.469 us now. Amen. I wrote so many examples here, 01:04:45.550 --> 01:04:51.369 which I shared some on Sunday. I will point three 01:04:51.369 --> 01:04:55.329 people. I will point three people now on the 01:04:55.329 --> 01:04:58.929 platform, right? We're going to do practical 01:04:58.929 --> 01:05:01.429 now. That you have received a word of knowledge 01:05:01.429 --> 01:05:05.909 for someone, either, not necessarily, sorry, 01:05:06.090 --> 01:05:10.230 happening now on the platform, right? But previously. 01:05:11.190 --> 01:05:14.090 Right. In one of our meetings, catatismus or 01:05:14.090 --> 01:05:15.929 one of the meetings in the church during the 01:05:15.929 --> 01:05:18.710 prayer sessions or one of the teaching series, 01:05:18.889 --> 01:05:21.170 you know, and then you have received a word. 01:05:21.269 --> 01:05:22.769 An opportunity was given and then you receive 01:05:22.769 --> 01:05:25.369 a word for somebody. You gave the person the 01:05:25.369 --> 01:05:28.469 word by the spirit. Right. With all that we've 01:05:28.469 --> 01:05:31.030 learned. And then the person didn't only confirm 01:05:31.030 --> 01:05:34.510 it, but also after a few days, the person had 01:05:34.510 --> 01:05:37.309 to meet you again and tell you, sir, that word, 01:05:37.349 --> 01:05:40.369 Omar, that word that you spoke to me last week. 01:05:40.940 --> 01:05:43.500 Actually, this is, this, this, this, this, this, 01:05:43.539 --> 01:05:45.880 and that. Do you understand what I mean? Three 01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:59.739 people. Christopher Bull, number one. Christopher 01:05:59.739 --> 01:06:06.239 Bull, number one. Prince, number two. And then 01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:11.659 Nancy, number three. Christopher. Prince, and 01:06:11.659 --> 01:06:15.000 Nancy. Yes, Christopher, can you share one practical 01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:17.940 testimony? You give somebody a word, the word 01:06:17.940 --> 01:06:25.239 of knowledge. Thank you, sir. The recent one 01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:31.159 happened in this meeting we just had, Cypress 01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:35.599 Monday, where we, during the prayer session, 01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:39.099 we were grouped, and then we were asked to pray 01:06:39.099 --> 01:06:42.559 for each other. I think it was I, Jamelia, and 01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:45.800 then two other ladies. The other two ladies were 01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:49.860 not in any CF, but then I got word for the two 01:06:49.860 --> 01:06:51.960 ladies. But then I was now thinking, I actually 01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:56.119 shared it with myself. I was thinking that these 01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:59.059 people are not in any CF. They're not used to 01:06:59.059 --> 01:07:01.719 people telling them, I have a word from the Lord 01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:04.400 for you. So I was contemplating how I was going 01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:06.960 to deliver, and then I prayed more about it. 01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.260 So I had to type it in my phone. And then the 01:07:10.260 --> 01:07:12.920 one was sitting beside me, the other was sitting 01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:16.760 right behind me. Then the one that was sitting 01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:19.920 beside me, I gave her a word about her, you know, 01:07:19.940 --> 01:07:23.019 growing more in, you know, to give her prophecy 01:07:23.019 --> 01:07:25.400 and things like that. And then she actually confirmed 01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:27.880 me. And then also about the company she was keeping. 01:07:28.900 --> 01:07:32.960 Then the lady that was behind me, I saw her as 01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.699 though she was praying for the eyes of her understanding 01:07:35.699 --> 01:07:38.000 to be enlightened like two. the scriptures for 01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:40.300 her to be able to teach her family and things 01:07:40.300 --> 01:07:43.059 like that and she was somebody who was intimidated 01:07:43.059 --> 01:07:46.079 or so like that she didn't believe so much in 01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:49.480 herself so when I gave her the word through like 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:52.000 the notes she actually typed it she was like 01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:54.960 this is actually what I came here for like this 01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:59.380 is the exact word that I needed. Hallelujah praise 01:07:59.380 --> 01:08:02.940 God praise God glory to God glory to God glory 01:08:02.940 --> 01:08:06.420 to God praise God. Hallelujah. So that was the 01:08:06.420 --> 01:08:09.539 word of knowledge in operation. There was no 01:08:09.539 --> 01:08:12.659 how he would have known certain information because 01:08:12.659 --> 01:08:17.159 they were just meeting in that location. They 01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.140 have never planned. He has never searched for 01:08:19.140 --> 01:08:21.699 any information about them anywhere. Praise God. 01:08:22.739 --> 01:08:31.720 Prince, bro Prince. He's not there. Nancy. Hello, 01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:36.649 sir. Okay, yes, we are hearing you. Okay, so 01:08:36.649 --> 01:08:41.109 the word I received was from a sister in the 01:08:41.109 --> 01:08:46.489 church.
