Yesterday we began our discussion from part one and out of title tonight's teaching Obtaining Promises Hebrews. Eleven thirty three. We took our time. Yesterday to challenge ourselves, redefining our understanding of faith. Allelujah. If you recall yesterday we said how that the Bible starts by defining. Faith for us. He because one says, now, faith is the substance of things and also the evidence of things. So the first definition of faith is in relation to things. But the second definition of faith that we did observe that not many believers pay attention to his found in verse two. The Bible says that same faith is related to a good report, allelujah, And that the elder's who the Bible says, we're fathers. And heroes of faith. Not all of them had the opportunity of obtaining promises. But the Bible says every one of them obtained a good report. And then I did tell us yesterday day that faith number one is a platform that can help the believer obtain promises, but number two that faith is also a school. And a journey. Are we together, And that when the end of that journey is not something you receive, is something you. Become, And that in God's priority, becoming is greater than receiving. Are we together? Yes, it is impossible to be bankrupt of certain spiritual provisions when you have become, so that many times in our faith work, we gauge our progress or the presence of faith by checking whether we have been able. To receive things. But I'm saying that in the economy of faith sometimes you may not have anything present as at that point. But then your transformation is also proof that you have faith, allelujah, And that God is more interested in you becoming than in you receiving, because you're becoming will help you sustain whatever it is that you receive. It is possible to receive without becoming, and then you will lose it. But when you become, In fact Daniel eleven thirty two, the bee Pad says, but the people that do know their God, you notice the progression. It starts with knowledge than as they shall be, then they shall do. They shall know that knowledge will cause them to be, and then they shall do. Allelujah. Before we see Jesus receiving anything, the Bible tells us that he grew, He increased in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God and with men. And what a very. Profound perspective that. But the God Man brought this evening, how that life is in seasons, very very powerful. You know, while I started listening to him, my mind went to the dream of Pharaoh. Remember, Pharaoh had a dream, and Joseph came to interpret that dream. And Joseph said, it's not about cows, and it's not about farm products. It's about seasons. You have seen the same thing express in two ways. There will be seven seasons of abundance, and then afterwards will be a season of farming and drought. This is established, it will not change. Allelujah. In fact, I've preached a message of that called the Law of seasons. So it's a very profound. Revelation, how that seasons are part of God's design in the earth, and that you must know when seasons come to an end and then know how to transsit into prophetic seasons. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. There are many blessings in the life of the believer that are connected to seasons. When the prophet spoke to the woman, he said, according to the time of life. Amen. So Hebrews eleven and verse thirty three. Now we want to look at the other part of faith. The Bible says, who true faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, And then he says, obtained promises. So a man can use his faith to obtain promises. Hebrews, Chapter six and verse twelve six twelve Hebrews. The Bible says, to not be sloughtful, but follow us of them who true faith and patience. He now says, inherit the promises, Allelujah, I like the way Scripture puts it, according as his divine power have given us all things that pertain onto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and vrue. Together, the Bible says, whereby are giving to us this exceeding, great and precious promises, that by them we might be the partakers of His divine nature. Havn't escaped the corruption that is in the world too. Lost, And I rounded up yesterday by telling us that it is important for us. To obtain things. My teaching yesterday was not in any way pushing away the desire to reach, the desire to press, the desire to increase, to extend. In fact, one of the proof that God is with you and his hand is upon your life is that you never remain in the same position. The Bible says, the path of the just is that in your bibles as a shining light that shined more and more onto the perfect day. And we did learn yesterday also that God is glorified in our results. John fifteen eight. He says, hearing is our Father glorified when ye bear much food, So shall you be in my disciples John fifteen sixteen. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bear much food, and that your food should remain Epicients, Chapter two and. Verse ten. We are His workmanship, it says, recreated in Christ Jesus onto good works which God had before ordained that we should work in them. Allelujah. So God is glorified in our lives to the degree to which our. Lives command results. It's important for us to establish this so that our hearts are prepared to be enlarged tonight in the name of Jesus. You believe that the first miracle that was performed by Jesus, according to John's synoptic account, is found in John chapter two, and when you read verse eleven, the turning of are to wind. The Bible ends that story by saying, this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Kena of Galilee and manifested forth his glory, and the disciples believed on him. Then you go to John chapter twenty and verse thirty. The Bible now says there were many other miracles that Jesus did that were not captured in this book. It says, but these are written thirty one now that ye might believe in Jesus as the Son of God, and that in believing, you might have. Life through his name. Allelujah. So it's important for you to know that results matter in the kingdom. It's only that in order of divine priority, your encounters should be greater and richer than your results. But, like you will be learning tonight, whether fate operates in your life as a journey or as a platform the starting point of your journey will always be your encounter with God. So Johnny with me as we begin to explore faith as a platform for receiving. There are a few keys that the Bible leaves for us to as far as manifesting Bible faith is concerned, and I submit to you by the integrity of Scripture that most believers do not understand the. Dynamics the operation of faith. Most believers know instinctively and by listening to preachers that faith is a. Potent force that produces results. But the dynamics as to how faith, the faith that wins, how it works, many believers are tell us. So if you sample an average believer and you ask the person describe for me intelligently how Bible faith works, they will guess pieces of the principle. Some will say. Pray, others will say give, others who says fit the world. And these are all pieces of the truth. So imagine some someone who wants to make a delicious meal, and you ask them how do you make, say fried rice or the love rice? And the person tells you, I don't know, but I know salt is part of the ingredients, is right? Another person says, I remember pepper, Another. Person says the rice itself. Another person may even recommend the pots you know for cooking, but all the pieces of ingredients themselves do not make what you are looking for. So you can carry a bag of pepper and be angry that you're not making fried rice. Another person can even have a bag of rice. I wonder why it's not tasting the way that of the chef tasted. You must understand the system for combining it. And this is my assignment tonight to show you, through the lens of scripture, how to make faith work. Allelujah. The Bible tells us that this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Four times in scripture, the Bible says, the just shall leave by faith, the just shall leave by faith. So there are a few keys that I want to give us very quickly, so that we work with time, because I hope that at the end of our discussion will have the opportunity to pray, and I just speak over our lives. Number one, the first key to manifest in Bible faith, according to Scripture, is a revelation of God's integrity and ability. As simple as this. Sounds, please write and pay attention a revelation of God's integrity and a revelation of his ability. You will never be able to manifest Bible faith until you know God and understand the extent of his integrity and the extent of his ability. These are two attributes of God. That are responsible for planting conviction in the believer. The consciousness of his integrity and then his ability can make you a man of confidence, and it is what is responsible for programming audacity in man. God is a God of integrity. God is a God of integrity. Numbers twenty three nineteen Very Popular or Profound Scripture. Twenty three nineteen numbers. Can we really together? It is projected? Ready want to read? It says God is not a man. Stop their place? Let me explain this. Do you know the meaning of this statement? The Bible says God is not a man, that he should lie. That means men have a weakness. They lie. Are we together? Now you know what it means to lie? To lie does not just say. It doesn't just mean to say something untrue, is to say something you may not have the ability to bring to pass. Allelujah. Now that God is not a man. He became a man, but he is not a man. God is not a man that he should lie. That means this weakness that is in men, the inability to bring their word to pass. It is not in God that before God utters any word, he invents whether he has the integrity and the ability to make that which he says come to pass. So God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Watch this had he said, and shall he not do it? Had he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Genesis twenty one one. And to a scripture that has ministered so deeply through the years, Genesis twenty one one and two, here's what the Bible says. And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said. And the Lord did onto Sarah as he has spoken. The Lord visited Sarah as he has said. The Lord did onto Sarah as he has spoken. Say integrity. The word integrity comes from the word integer. It means same within as without void of falsehood are we together. So when we see an individual, it's a person of integrity. It then means that you are void of falsehood, you are original, you are authentic, worthy of trust. God is a god of integrity. Every time I teach about the integrity of God. I'm reminded about something that Africans celebrate a lot. We call it April fool said after me, April food. It's a way of playing pranks with your mind. I don't know if it happens by April or any other time. It's called gaprail in the joke, But I just know that sometimes people stretch and make expensive jokes, like a gift of a house has been given, and while the person is rejoicing, you now say a pray food. Are we together? People have collapsed because the jokes taken too far. People who have heard news that has depressed them, even after they told them it, were alive, allelujah. Because there's a part of your mind that does not know the difference between reality and imagination. Once that thought is planted, there to take God to help you away together. Now, So the Bible says God is not a man. That means every speaking of God you find in scripture, it's important for you to know that He's not playing games with you, regardless how high, how wide, how beyond your imagination that statement is. For instance, they told me twenty eight one and two. The Bible says it shall come to pass, if thou shall diligently hacke to the voice of the Lord, that God to do and to observe all that I command you this day, that you shall be exalted above all the nations of the earth. How many nations. That was not a parable. It was a. Literal statement that a man can believe God and gain ascendence above great nation is a dimension of influence that is incontestable. And then that all these blessings shall come upon you, they shall overtake you. If that will happen diligently. To the voice of the Lord. How about the scripture that says, no whap on fashion against you shall prosper. How about the scripture that says that you arise and shine. For your life is come. It's God helping somebody already, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. I simply call them exceeding. Great and precious promises, a compendium of God's commitment to the believer. But you need to know the one who spoke before you know what he said. If you don't trust me, you cannot trust what I have said away. Together, your encounter with Me is what gives you the fortitude to believe. What I have said. God's integrity, God's integrity, God integrity, the Bible says in Hebrews eleven and verse six, it says, without faith, it is impossible to please him because everyone who comes to God must come believe in that number one he is the word, he. Is, means he exists. And then number two he is the rewarder of them that diligently say him. God can be trusted. You need to tell yourself this tonight. God can be trusted. I can't trust him with my life. I can't trust him with my dreams. I can't trust him with my pain. You've trusted people of lesser quality, lesser levels of integrity. Is time to give God a chance with your life. God can be trusted. He can be trusted with your ministry. He can be trusted with your finances, your children. Are we together? Bible saith is not built on blind believing out of nowhere. No, you don't just believe what he said. You first must believe who said. It and God. The Bible is full of God's God's characters cut out from Genesis to Revelation. He gave you room to probe and vent. His person, and that if at the end of your search you find him wanting, you have a right to reject him. Hallelujah. His dealings with people from nation to nation, season to season is there in scripture so that you will see and come to a personal conclusion that God can be trusted. I believe him. God can be trusted. Say integrity. One more, I'm saying integrity. You read the Bible and you will see scary seasons like person, God Man taught us scary situations that people found themselves in and you would think they will never come out. The worst that I know, according to scripture, was a story of job. I'm not aware of any man who had that kind of tragedy to that degree. In one day, you lose your estate, you lose your business, a mysterious demonic wind comes to wipe away your house. And at the end of it, the Bible says Joe about himself and worshiped, and then as if that were not enough, boils and all kinds of infirmities just came out of his body to an extent that the wife looked at him and said, why do you still hold onto your integrity? He says cost God and die, and Job said, all the days of my appointed time, he said, though he slay yet, will I trust him? Then? I love Genesis. I love Job forty two undred ten. He says, God turn the captivity of Joe. You will think that part of the story should never come because of the extent of the tragedy. God turned the captivity of Job. When he prayed for his friends. Then, the Bible says, the Lord gave Job twice twice, twice all that he had twice. Allelujah. I believe God. He can be trusted. Your situation is not the first. You are not the first to go through that situation. As emotionally connected as you are to that situation, I can tell you, the Bible says, the thing that was is the thing that is, and is the thing that will happen under the sun. There is nothing that is new. A time came women and their children. It's not become that bad in our economy. I want to tell you that everything that is happening now has it's parallel in scripture, the things that were written afore time. Therefore, our learning, the Bible says, so that we, through patience and the comfort of scripture, might find hope. Is someone learning God's integrity. God can be trusted. Say, God is not a man, prophesie to your spirit. God is not a man that he should lie. Yes, sir, When God speaks, it is because he intends to make it good in your life. God does not play games with people. If he tells you, I will lift you. It doesn't matter what situation, what condition. That leads to the second revelation of God that we must have his ability. Now you see, without ability, it is impossible to remain a person of integrity because integrity demands that you have the will and the. Resources to remain consistent. I can intend to do good but not have the wherewiout to make it happen. That will make my integrity questionable. The issue is not the guile in my heart. The issue is that I do not have the resources to remain consistent. So the Bible says efficient twenty Now onto him. Who is able to do? Is someone learning faith above abondantly above all that we ask or think. The key expression there is the word able to do. Please say able to do. There are people who are able to say, but they are not able to do. There are people who are able to wish what they are not able to say. The Bible is full of many people who are able to say, like the prophets of Baer in Mount Carmel, but they were not able to do. There have been gods and idols that were. Able to propose things they did not have the wherewithout to defend. Here comes the revelation that person Godman again brought. The name El Shadai. Is a very mysterious name. It literally means the multi breasted one. Is an attempt to show the extent of his self sufficiency. That God lives in an economy where he does not outsource anything to support him. There is no human who lives in that kind of reality. We all have to depend on the external to support ourselves. But that God exists in a reality the Bible says, in the beginning God mysterious statement in the beginning, not from the beginning. In the beginning, God, the self existent one, God is all powerful. This is an attribute of God. He did not share with man. As much as we are powerful. We are partakers of his divine nature. He did not give us the privilege of omnipotence. We are not all powerful. No, our authority and power is limited. It has its jurisdiction and then its models operandi. But this God that we serve is all powerful. Convince yourself. The Bible is full of the wonder working power. I have spoken once and twice. Have you heard that power belonger to God? Power belonger to God. Listen. It takes power to bring things to pass. Are we together now? Yes? More than desire. So when God says I am lifting you. Number one, he has the integrity. Number two, he has the resources. I like how the Bible puts it. It summarizes God's resources on Earth in a very fearful way. Psalm twenty four of US one, the earth is the Lord's. Then number two it's fullness. Thereof number three the worlds, and number four the inhabitants. All they belong to him. The person who owns the earth, its resources and men is someone to be feared and worshiped. Because there are about eight billion men on earth. And he's called the Father of spirit. You know what that means. He can manage to let any human spirit to work out his purposes. It is impossible for him to. Be stranded because someone of this eight billion must be open to cooperate with him. If there were only two people, you might say, well, if one says no and the other says no, God might be stranded impossible. Hell shadd diy. So when you know him as the all powerful God, you can dare things that doesn't make sense. And the basis of your confidence is the one who stands by you like a mighty terrible one. Moses is afraid. Haven't brought them out of Egypt? Now they're stranded the Red sea before them, the Egyptians huming with boiling anger to. Come and return them back to yesterday. And Moses, you can imagine, as a leader, having people with all kinds of things going on. The Bible says he calmed them down like any wise leader would do. And then he rushed to God and said what do I do? And the Lord said, why are. You crying before me? He says, tell the people that they go for And then he spoke and stretched his rod. But when the Psalmist was giving us a perspective, he said, God breathe upon the sea. We did not see that recorded in Exodus, but that the sea did not just part. He done tita because of the road. It was the breath a man who can breathe and split the Red sea left and right, and his breath will create a fence around and. Make dry ground. I hope you know that the Red Sea did not just part. The ground had to elevate to a position where they could walk through, because if it passed you are intelligent enough, there would still fall and die. I have searched and searched all the earth, searched and searched all the earth and found bony. I have searched, searched all the earth, search searched all the earth, and power. Babu. They almighty gone. There are professors that will say I have one like you. You are an authority. There are four of you on Earth. There's one in Africa, there's one in this there's one in that. There are even certain people who have the status of. Being fast for a while. But there is one who is in a position where nobody he is incontestable. He's not just the first, he's the only. Find a way of convincing yourself, otherwise you will fall like a pack of car. Life has a way of bullying your conviction. When you see challenges, they stand as do they will never move. But there are times that you need to clear out of the way and let. The one who backs you show how powerful he is. The confidence of the believer is predicated upon your understanding of who God is. His integrity. And you see, when you know this about God, you will not hear when he speaks to you, because God speaks to men like he's speaking to himself. God will never tell you what you can do. He will tell you things only him can do. One of the ways you know you have had God is that everything around you and your current level that hurt him would not be able to bring that thing to pass. So when God is speaking to you, he will say, go and buy the land. I understand it is ten billionaire away. You buy it due an auditorium this way. And while he's talking, he will never mention provision, he will never mention trouble. He will talk as if the government will not harass you, as if Satan is not part of the discussion. And at the end of it you will say, right, and that's it. God for you, allelujah, because you see leaders in this end time need to be people of strength and standing. Most times, people lament and sympathize with themselves and command pity as though God decided to embarrass them and waste their lives. God never speaks to you as do it to be by your strength to make it happen. God has integrity, But my goodness, God has ability. If you doubt that God has ability, feeling the bland who turn a king to become an animal for seven years with the brain of a human being to teach him that there is a God that rules over the affairs of men. Away together. Now, the prophet came upon the strength of. That God and said, by this time tomorrow, you don't rais your ministry by making such a stupid statement. It's better to say, those who want to believe move this way, and those who don't believe, that's all right, you don't come and risk yourself. And the man who the king leaned upon said, ah, ah, what are you saying. Don't complicate these people's pain. And he said, really, do you know the God that has sent me? You will see it as a witness that God does not lie, but you will not eat of it. I'm here to. Shake somebody's own belief. God is trust can be trusted away together. I don't like to give too much stories of myself, but My life is full of. Instances where God spoke. Things that at the time he said it, there was no human way. You can stretch your imagination from border to border and know that there's no human. Way that will come to us. One of the assignments of the spirit of faith is to remind you about God's ability. That's how God primes your faith. He begins to remind you every time you are in unbelief. God shakes away your own belief by taking you through memory lane. He uses the word, He also uses your experience. That's the reason why you do not waste the dealings of God in your life. You artive them because they become. The tools that view your faith for the next season. So a woman who, for instance, is wondering if a. Child has any glorious destiny in light of the kind of person he is becoming, then God reminds you, where is the God that gave you that child after five years of waiting, and they said you would not be able to get pregnant. And now when that memory comes, it does something to you. Now your faith is alive. Bible faith is predicated upon a revelation of God's integrity and God's ability say God's ability. It is true. There are things that men can do. There are things that. Systems can do. But ladies and gentlemen, there are things that only God can do. An example, lifting men. Only God can lift men from a don't kill and place that individual. In the place of grace. Another example, only God can give men rest. He says, come on to me. Allly that are weary and heavy leaded, and I not I, and other people not choose any of us, I will give you rest. A man can never enter his sabbath if you do not trust the God who is able? Are we learning already? Number two? Let me rush for the sake of time. So Bible faith is viewed. On number one, the revelation of God's integrity and God's ability. Number two, are you ready? The second cheek. To manifesting Bible faith, faith that will grant you grace to audaciously produce extraordinary results giants trites in life, and to obtain promises. Faith is very, very vision dependent. This is a part of faith that many people are not taught. Please write this down. The second key to manifesting Bible faith. Is vision, a clear picture of your desired expectation. There are many people who are hoping for things that have. No form and shape in their minds. The second key to manifesting Bible faith is vision, clearly defined expectations Mark eleven, twenty four. Please Jesus is speaking, and here's what he had to say. After he costs the factory. He used the situation to teach them a lesson on faith. Therefore, I say unto you that what things soever ye desire? Can you say that? There that is a starting point? What things soever ye desire? You must give it form, You must give it description. It says when ye pray, so you don't just pray blindly. There must be a form. There must be a frame, something that defines your expectation, so you will know when it is answered. It is amazing how many believers cannot receive from God because there is no clearly defined expectation. So when they come even to seek help from men of God, they say things like, my life is not moving forward, and you ask them, what exactly do you want. It's a general problem every aspect of my life. And that kind of vagueness does not allow for the kind of breakthrough. And specificity that you need. When Jesus was teaching to pray. He said, pray. In this manner, our father, which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name, your kingdom, Come, your will be done away together. Yes. And then he says, give us this day our daily bread, no vaguness, clear description. What is your daily bread? All that is required for. Your sufficiency and your excelling per day, per season, He said, give us. Don't assume when you ask. Isn't it amazing that when Jesus performed the miracles that he did, sometimes he met people who had all your situations, and you would think it was sarcastic that he was asking them, what would you want me to do? How do you see a blind man like Batimio and say what should I do for you? It's a costly assumption to assume that the person wanted healing. As chapter three, remember, the man was added beautiful, and you would. Think a man saying such a powerful. Apostle passing the Bible says he begs for arms. And when Peter and John said silver and gold I do not have, I'm sure the man said, please go and pray, Go and pray and leave me in peace. Say no, no, no, no, I'm not living. There is something that I have that is more superior to what you need. In the name of Jesus, the son of the Living God. Rise up and work. The man remained there, The Bible said he was fitter who held. Him and lifted him by force. You must leave this place today. Are we together? Say vision? One more time? Say vision? There are pastors that have no vision, no clear expectation. The assignment of the world of God is that you can. Use the word of God with the wisdom of an artist. You can use scripture literally to paint your tomorrow. The spirit of wisdom, the creativity of the spirit, is supposed to help you design tomorrow that you can peace from scripture literally. Are we together now? Like you use. Scriptures like the brushes of an artist upon a canvas, and you start painting something that is not the character of faith, even God who quickened the dead, and call it the things that. Be, not as though they were. So you are in your lonely estate, and you begin to design with the spirit through the lens of scripture, the power of vision, saying things as they are, or as they should be, not as they are. From where thou art your eyes, it told Abraham, and. Look northward southward, eastward, westward. And it says, as fast as your eyes can see, not as fast your hand can reach. As fast your eyes can see. Is someone learning now vision, Vision, that is in line with God's will? You see? Let me tell you this. I told us yesterday. The character of faith is that it does not just. Obtain everything you want. It has to vet that your. Desires are consistent with the will of God, because the assignment of the power of God is to bring to pass the will of God. Did you get that? Now? The power of God does not walk outside of the jurisdiction of the will of God. Its assignment is to bring everything in conformity with the will of God. So first John, I think it's first John five. First John five, give it to us fourteen and fifteen, very profound lesson on the will of God. This is the confidence, it says that we have in Him, that if we ask anything, but. That anything has jurisdictions according to His will. He here its fifteen, he says, And if we know that He heared us whatsoever we ask, then. We know that we have our petitions that we desired of him. One more time, say Vision. I do not know anyone who is a champion of faith. Indeed, that does not have at every given point in his life as an individual, as an organization. Clear prophetic descriptions. According to scripture, of where you are trusting God to take you to? Do you notice that that was the one problem why Abraham could not believe God. The problem was vision. And one night God had to help him. He said, Abraham, come out. You are not able to believe the extent to which I want to make you with other nations. And he said, let me walk with your imagination. Count the stars. He would start to count. And then he would lose out start to count, and when he had stretched his mind. He says, so shall your cep. Finally, the Bible says, Abraham believed God the moment God introduced vision. Abraham now had the capacity to believe. It is difficult to believe God when you are blindly saying, God, do do it. We have all kinds of African white sayings that stop us from doing daring things. I know one day God would do it. No form, no fashion. The first thing God dealt with was formlessness and the absence of fashion. Genesis one, verse one, the Bible says, now the earth was void and formless. The Hebrew what to who who? It says God brought from the spirit of God began to hover around the face. Of the waters. And the first thing God put in place was to take away formlessness. Allelujah. Right from when. This ministry started, the ministry God had given me. When it started, I had. Certain pictures with God, and it did not make sense at that point. Are went together now and I began to press sect in my case, because you see, you will become what you focus on. That was the secret that Jacob used to command multiplication. He knew that this was a lord that. Would work even for animals. Allelujah. The Bible lets us not according to efficients three and verse twenty. You may have heard me say that both your mouth and your mind are prayer warriors, and God answers their requests. Your mouth is a prayer warrior. Your mind is also a prayer warrior, and your mouth can be saying God, lift me and your mind. The bankruptcy of creativity, says God. Don't take me serious. I'm not going anywhere. Is someone learning fission Bible shape that produces results fission. At every point in my life, there are specific things I dream with God because dreaming up things. That are outside of his will is wasting your time. You cannot secure his bucket. This is why he left on scripture. So God is challenging someone. You cannot be audacious if you do not have a vision, a representation of the new you a representation of the new place. That's why they went to spy the land. When Dey spied the land, it was to expand their mind. They returned back and others they very foolish. The Bible called it an evil report. He was not even soft on the people, a report that was inconsistent with God's will and expectation. He called it evil. Joshua said, and calb, let's go up at once. We are well able? Is someone hearing now? Do you see the next level that God is taking you in ministry? Do you see the next. Level that God is taking you with your finances a man of God? Do you see the next level of grace and glory and power? Do you see yourself moving across the nations? Let me tell you a story. When it was time to move down to a buja and God began to speak to me, I began to pray and ask the Lord to direct me. At one time, in the place of prayer, the Lord asked me. To buy the map of Abuja, the map of Nigeria, the map of Africa, and the. Map of the world. I would place all four of them at my prayer altar and pray like a madman. What was God doing to me? Let me tell you this, And I said, with all humility. One day, in the place of prayer, I looked at the map of Abuja and it became small. It's something I cannot explain, and I hope you don't take it for pride. It became small, very small, one very small. Something had happened to my faith. It became very small. Then one time I. Looked at the map of the world for a long time. I wasn't praying. I was just staring at it, and I said, this is the whole world. What did zukerback see that he believed you would not reject his product? What did Elon wance seeing They don't know you yet they're due their businesses upon the confidence. That you cannot reject them. They don't know how the Eurobaic culture works. They don't know how the Ashantis think. They don't care about your history. But they believe that they have such sense of dominion. That they come up with an idea that it would be to fit all your cultural experience, and you must embrace it, including the updates they bring. What guarantees did they receive? They it did not respect the fact that you will change. They did not even seem to factor your will. They sat down from their rooms and saw the possibilities. Listen, if you believe. What I'm teaching you, your life will be a sign and. A wonder and alujah. When God sent us to go and have a conference in the UK among the many things, did you know when we finally arrived at the auditorium, I saw the size and they told me that was the largest indoor center and the whole of the United Kingdom. Are you crazy? As an African? It's not like you have a brand somewhere, and it's not like you've. Been visiting the place frequently. But I know what it means to dream with God. Do not downplay the power of God when it comes upon a destiny that has vision. When you do not have vish on the power of God, who keep hovering? What do you desire? I just desire to go forward. What does go forward mean? At what point will you know your prayer has been answered? A step is go forward? Are we together now? Many of us desire to be audacious, many of us desire to make giant strikes in the spirit. But there is no definition for our expectation. Your expectation lacks definition. How do I know? Do you know? One of the reasons why the healing ministry is very powerful because sickness has a definition and it has a name, so it's easy to administer the power of God. When people say I want to prosper, it is very vague. I want to prosper means word for someone. I just want a condition better than where I am now, and God will honor it. For someone, I want to have the. Capacity to have financial abundance. For others, I want the intelligence to design systems around my life that perpetuate wealth and bring contivity transgend. Generationally speaking, that is their definition the moment. Listen. It is in this area that both psychologists, Satan, God and men agree that the. Mind has a cardinal role to play. The moment. You give definition, some and. Fashion to things you see that now, those who are not of faith would tell you that the universe will begin to cooperate with you and compel things to happen. But we now know that that creative power is called the Holy Spirit. It's true. Write your tomorrow on paper and watch yourself live in that reality. This is why many people's prayer in Africa becomes a waste of energy. I say this sincerely. I'm a man of prayer. You see that. But for the average person who is. Praying, they pray making the mistake that is in Acts chapter twelve. Because they were praying that Peter should be. Released and they had no. Idea how the liberty looks like the Bible says or not. Out of your prayer, an angel came o brought Peter out. Peter now came and knocked the door. When they opened. This was their answer. They said, no, it's this angel. They shut the door again and kept praying. Peter had to knock and say you okay, what were you praying for them? How do you pray so much that your answer comes and you do not know? Learn this. After this service, you should come and thank your person. This is what happens in a conference vision. I learned this years ago. I would write before phones came out. I would put pieces of paper and write dreams and put it in my pocket, bring it out and look at it. All right, I said, I'm going to buy a book total of one thousand and narra. What do I have? Homan abroad? Five narra. God is faithful, there is a vision, there is God, there's a willing hand to receive. Mysteriously, the power of God seems to honor vision that when people put things on ground, if you are waiting until you have the resources. You will never do anything worthwhile. Did you hear what I said? If you are waiting and by resources, I don't just need money. For as long as there was no more vessel the oil stopped. Capacity increased the potential of the oil. There was nothing wrong with the oil. The oil had to remain, assuming the shape of the vessel carrying it. Allelujah. As for me, I made up my mind that there is no nation and there is no individual born of a woman that I would stand before and feel ashamed of myself. I would be inspired, I would be challenged, but not at the detriment of my self worth. It was a. Vision I gave myself, and that vision will sponsor the energy to develop yourself that even when men are clapping, God refers you back to the vision and you see how far of that that you are, and then you keep pressing. The reason why people settle them is because they never had a template. So anything higher than where you were looks like a place that is worth being called a destination. You would always hear me say it, and I've told my people compared to where God is taking us, were only one step out of the cave. I was so blessed when the Man of God came and was stretching the church and telling them that this was a manger to the next level. I pray and hope that you believe that. Allelujah. When we started. Looking for land for ministry, I have in my office the map of the whole abucha. The whole abucha, bring it to I'm not talking of the summarrise map. Map that is as long as a carpage, hold it and place it there. There is no body. There's no body that says you cannot land. Originally below to God, everybody met land. And according to God's world it says the increase of the earth is for all, and that even the king is tread by that which comes from the field. That means there is a portion for everyone. God is a god of portions. Whether you step into your portion or not is your own concern. Believe what I'm telling you, every one of you here. There is a portion for you. God is a god of portions. Are we together? But there are giants on every mountain. Don't forget. So when you are drawing that map, if you draw an empty one by faith, that means you have found the way of dealing with those giants. Look at how those guys were sharing lands. You read the Bible, you say this is the lights were stolen people. They were and locating lands as if it was empty. There were giants. Dell. Imagine as a giant, you are sleeping and you're sharing your land. You described here is your own. This other one, take this, this orther one. Take I think this land. You can take this one. There are giants, but is not a concern you take this. I profess s to someone here in the name of Jesus, every manifestation of mediocrity that has kept you small, that you will not enlarge and do much for the kingdom. May your faith be enlarge and expanded in the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, listen down. There are few calmpgrounds, by the grace of God that have not visited in this nation. Campgrounds that belong to ministries have had the honor of ministrying across almost every major denomination in this nation. And when I go to visit, I don't just go as a man of God. I'm a man of God. In the afternoon, when all the protocol go, when they all go back home, I now become a. White student of destiny. In the night, I come out when everybody has gone to sleep. And sometimes I work around these campgrounds. Lord, what did you show these people? How did they believe? Who signed the registered that members? Who come. Which bank gave them a guarantee that you just keep dreaming, bigger will come. The signs follow they don't go before. If you don't have a vision, the signs. Will never follow you. Allelujah. It's God expanding you. Remember we're doing part two. Now. This is the school of faith. Most people pray, but they pray without vision. Every time I study at chapter twelve, I'm really very di stob how complete people came together they were praying. I wish I would be taken in a vision to that scenery. Let me watch what they were saying, God, you are Elsha die release Peter. We kept quiet and James died. Will not rep quiet over Peter? Do you agree? Years? Oh yeah, pray and then they began. To pray, and the Angel of the Lord came in response to that prayer brings Peter out, bitiz rejoice him. And then he knocks the door. In the midst of hot prayer that is going on. He opens the door the time to say, let's give thanks that he has arrived. They opened and said impossible, No you can it can be you. How did you leave the prison? No sound within? Close the door. So let's get praying. Vision. Vision helps you recognize your answer. Vision helps you recognize your answer. Vision helps you recognize your answer. You need to know what your answer looks like. What does it look like? What does increase look like based on scripture? What does progress look like based on scripture? What does restoration look like based on scripture? What does joy look like? So when you sing and pray things like He's turned my money into dancing my sorrow to joy, what does sorrow look like? And what does joy look like? How do you know the difference. I have to rush? Number three? The school of faith Jesus. Is someone learning, so when you have an encounter with God, learning his integrity and his ability. Number two is clearly defined expectations that are in line with the will of God. Can I give you number three? The third key to manifest in Bible faith according to scripture. Now please listen. This is again an area where many sincere believers miss out in manifesting the faith equation. The third key is an understanding of the demands and the requirements to manifest their expectations and understanding of the demands the requirements. Listen carefully. Every faith process will always demand that you work. In partnership with the world of God. There is always a role and understanding of the demands the requirements you. Must fulfill to commit God to perform. You see this now, many, This is where, with all due respect, especially the charismatic circles, most people believe that the moment you find what God has said, it must come to pass. No sir, no sir, no sir, no, sir. Midwife in prophecy and manifestation is a role that every responsible believer has to play. There is always something you do as a commitment of your faith. Are we together? You must know it fest before you do it, and understanding of the demands. This is the assignment of meditation. Your meditation is not complete until your role in manifesting your expectation is revealed to you. The purpose of meditation is not just to know what God can do, but. To find your place in committing God. Until your role is found, your meditation is not complete. Are we together? John Chapter two and verse five? We read the eleventh verse earlier on, But let's see what happened. So now the wine is finished. Are we together? The wine is finished? And then the people there's no wine, And they came to Jesus, and Jesus said, woman, what I mean? Why have you brought It's not yet my time? And she made a profound statement. The mother said onto the servants, if it is a miracle you desire to see, if it's the power of God you want to. See, there will always be something. And he said, make sure you listen, because among the many things that will happen, for what are to turn to wine or for wine to be made manifest, there is something he will tell you. Whatsoever he's saying onto you, not just hear it, not just recited. He says to it. It says now that he know these things, happy blessed, and you, if you do them, is someone learning and understanding. So there are many believers who stop at knowing what God can do, no doubt, and then sometimes they just fold themselves and say I know God would do it, without knowing the participatory. Role they have to play. You read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The only exception were dead people. And even among the people who were dead, there were those who were alive that played the role of responsibility. The only person who no man participated in bringing him a life was Jesus himself. Every other person who came back to life. Watch this, now, there was something that placed the demand. There was a demand, There was a demand. It was always in the presence of men that that resurrection happened. He was only Jesus, are we together now who resurrected by the glory of the Father, no man playing a role in his resurrection. Do you know what you need to do to produce that dimension of prosperity promise, that dimension. Of healing promise? So this is how it works. This is how it works. Lend me your attention that the Kingdom is a compendium of limitless possibilities. But for every possibility in this kingdom, number one, there is a mystery that governs this manifestation, and within that mystery is a commitment. There is something the believer must do. Are we together so you want to be healed? For instance, there is a mystery in the Kingdom that releases the healing anointing. Are we together? In learning that mystery? You will always find. The role you have to play. The key to bid healed, according to script, is the hearing of faith. Every time healing is to happen, their first is the hearing of faith, and then you listen for spirit inspired instructions. Upon acting on those instructions, Even if you were among the ten lepers, the Bible says, as they went, as they went, nine suddenly found out that healing happened. One returned back to be thankful, and then he was made home. So the person who does not have the patience to receive the hearing of faith, who most likely not see miracles manifest and the one who hears but is cold and not straight shield to take steps. How do you see someone who has never worked and said, get or pick your mat. It is a relatives common help. And you stand up, buy yourself, lay them from birth, pick up your mat and walk away. Leavers do not understand that there are demands. Their are demands. There are times he will say, Lord, I want to rise to higher levels of finances. I want to rise to higher levels of grace. And whilst you are praying, now you have a revelation that God is able to do all things, el shall die. You have a clear vision. You see yourself lending to nations, blessing the program of God. You know, I'm so on and so forth, working in. Abundance or in blessings or in the annointing, whatever it is that you desire. Then the next thing is to. Find out what is my commitment. For instance, Lord, I desire higher levels of spiritual power. Now you consult with the Word, because the Word is the compendium of the wisdom of God. What are the keys in scripture that control the manifestation of superior levels of power? You can take a study on Jesus. He was never born with power. So what happened? What transated the ordinary carpenter's son to become. One who was filled with the spirit without measure. You now begin to study those. Moments and you would see things that he did that even after his baptism. You see the foundation for Jesus's ministry to become a person of power was he invested eighteen years of his growth. Period learning the world. That was where he started before the issue of A nineteen came into the scene. From age twelve, his status thirty. In scripture, it is written when he was filled with It is written by age thaty he now went to John's submitting to authority. Are you said that now? And then? As wonderful as Jesus is, and as powerful as son of God as he is, and he was he worked under a close heaven. It took a prophets to open his heavens. Now you are learning the keys that the word in candidate can still work under a close heaven. And when John prayed for him, the holy ghosts came upon him, and the Bible says Jesus went to the wilderness. So you are putting the keys together. The responsibility as a teenager of learning the world. Now when you want to be anointed. You see that timing matters in your paying attention to the things of God, because it takes time to build capacity by the world from age twelve. Even for Jesus, it took him eighteen years to be prepared to receive that annointing. The same formula he used for the disciples. The ratio of teaching to importation. Was three and a half years to one day. Many people reverse the process. They have almost zero world and yet they have gallons of annointing. Or I'm not being sarcastic. Now you pour the oil on your head and you find. Out that it does not work that way. Is the abundance of the world that qualifies you for the ministry of the spirit. This is always the formula that produces the kind of annointing that produces results. Now, Jesus firsted, Jesus prayed. You see that now, so you take that responsibility in fasting and prayer and consecration, puilting your spirit man when you work in keeping with that truth. But you see, you have to know the rich young ruler came to Jesus and said, good. Master, what must I do? No wonder he was rich even though he was younger. Preach atition on that rich. Young ruler three things that are not easily combined to exist in the life of a man. It takes time to be rich. So when you find somebody who is rich and has an advantage of time, young, and is still ruler dominion, respect that individual. The Bible does not give us his name. What is summarizes the discipline of that man's life. Rich, young ruler. He had everything life could offer, And. When he heard that there was something Jesus was proposing that he did not have, he came to Jesus and said, good Master, what must I do? I know that it will always demand me doing something. I'm not here to say, dash me eternal life? What must I do? I am ready to be responsible. Jesus said, you're not far from the kingdom this guy. You are close to this name and understanding. Are we learning now and understanding? There's no time, but just write them for a reference. Matthew fourteen from nineteen to twenty five thousand. Remember Feeding the five thousand. You would think that in feeding. The five thousand, because he was a mighty god, autumatically and magically, the miracle would happen. Number one, there was a young lad who needed to bring five loave and two fish. Remember, and the Bible says he broke it. He blessed it. Then he gave the disciples. The multiplication did not start with Jesus. The multiplication started when the disciples took it and they started doing the distribution. Allelujah. We see a similar operation in John chapter eleven, forty three and forty four. John eleven, forty three and forty four. Lazarus now verse forty three tells us the. Miracle that happened. When he had spoken. He cried out with a loud voice, and he said, Lazarus, come forth, read forty four for me. Please, let's ring together, ready one to read. And he that was dead came forth. But he was bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was bound with a napkin that does not look like a miracule, that did not look like what Mary requested from. And he now said, O Mother. Jesus said, on too, who here is your own role. Now take the responsibility. I have brought life to him, but lose him and let him go. That means, if he remains in that condition, is no longer my issue. Have brought him out from the grave, but his advancement is your responsibility. Losing los him can mean teach him. Lose him can mean mentor him. I have brought him to a church. Now lose him does not just mean remove the rope ah everything that ties men. It is within the power of men to reveal the truth that lose men, to let them go. You can have people who are born again, that's the. Type of coming out of the grave, but their advancement in life. Don't just leave it to God. God has the power to now. He's given them that life. But you must lose them. He say, you pastor, you preacher, you apostle, lose them and let them go. Someone learning Number four a mehorio. Let's be the name of the Lord is God blessing someone? Are you ready for number four? The fourth key number one being a revelation of God's integrity and ability. Number two vision a clearly defined expectation. Number three and understanding of the demands and the requirements that commit God to perform number four actions of obedience. The fourth key that fulfills the. Faith equation is taking actions of obedience Matthew fourteen twenty seven and twenty eight. Please give it to us Matthew fourteen twenty seven and twenty eight, my God. But straightway Jesus spoke and said, be of good. Share it is. I remember the storm when Jesus was working on water. They saw him and they thought he was a ghost. And he said, if thou bid me, come and he says, come twenty eight watch this now, give us twenty eight please. And Peter alsidim and said, Lord, if it be dow, bid me come on the water. And he said come, and Peter got up. Do you know if he had said come, Peter would have known what he needed. To do to work on water. But knowing it was not enough, he needed to take the step of faith. Ladies and gentlemen, there are no guarantees in life. A generation that has an appetite for guarantee will be los us Perpetually. You will have to work on water, even if alone. You are going to have to trust God. Are we together now? Yes, yesterday I shared with you my story about raising the dead. Make no mistakes, it's not like that again. I've grown. That was a story that happened years ago. But even the devil knows. That my former self is not worth He is here now again because every time you take actions. It is not about the results, It's about what it does to you. There's something called sailing forward when you are in a plane. Watch this. If a plane is going forward and you get. Up from say cy too, and you walk backward to use the restroom, based on. What is happening inside the plane, you are going back. But based on the overall motion of the plane, are you going back? You're going forward. Even if you go to the last seat in the plane. With respect to your assessment of posting the plane, you've left your seat and you're going back, but the overall movement of the plane is taking you forward. Can I tell you? Do you notice that in life those who don't have time to mournt failure. They're the ones who the one's one dog closes while you are crying, they force another one to open. They don't have the time for this sympathy. You see them banding. At all kinds of doors. They force one to open, and that one that opens they share it and keep it open. Forever so that their children who come in, their children's children. Whereas others are. There trying to play everything safe, wanting guarantees. God, can you just put a non close to me? So that if for any reason, I feel somebody in life does not work that way. And audacious generation must learn to trust God enough to take steps of faith and don't mind the naysayers who laugh at you. You see in church, because of the presence of the Holy Spirit, people assume that pragmatically speaking, when you take steps in destiny, it should be flawless victory all through. And every time you record momentary failures. Here comes believers saying, did you really hear God? And you feel stupid for obeying God? I thought it was okay I started the business. Now I've discovered that I started the real estate business. My first two deals, I was calmed, this went. Wrong, and people said to go back. It's not God. If it's God, you must always succeed. Now, asks the person who is talking like that, how much is had from that venture. It is the reason why most believers do not have in tells. As far as working in the cosmosis concern, there are times that you feel as an event, not as the end product, the conclusion of your journey. And like you were told, pain is a gift. There is something called the gift of pain. There is a lesson only pain can give you away together. We stand today upon our many failures. That's what has given us the confidence. Run away from people who have never failed their risk around your life. There is a perspective about God and. Life they do not have, and it will be dangerous to your growth. Given in terms of organizations, when real leaders who have been trained see them and you're speaking to people, prospective people that they want to bring on board, they don't just want here of their strides. They want to know have you failed orne but the insulted you before? No, I've been a friend to everybody. You are risk not in this company as the first person who insults you, you will not to lend that kind of lesson in this company. You would deslate our productivity. You need people who are built stamina. They have a balanced understanding on life. Is someone learning learn to take steps a risk adverse generation. I'm not talking of careless steps. You are guided by the world. Remember that you have vision. The person who take steps is the one who has vision and has discovered the responsibility component for his action. You don't just act blindly. But even at that that, if you act and things don't work, you go back, you retreat, you give Jesus, thanks, because the one who arrives is listen. The fact that you fail is proved that you are moving. There are people who don't fail because they are never moving. Are we together? Now? When you find someone in the traffic, is because he had the courage to leave his house and then he got trapped in a traffic. For a while. And nobody just starts crying in a traffic they know no matter how long it will move. There can be some body waiting in his house and wandering and saying, can you imagine I told you not to go anywhere, and that person never arrives. Beware of people who do not have the courage to take steps. You want to start in school. Here comes someone looking at you and saying you to start a school. I know your father's house, I know where you're coming from. You better sit down and don't embarrass yourself, and. You will watch your vision, because visions are like ray. Whoever brings the bucket, who receive it, you will be surprised. There are many people biting their. Fingers in anger because what God showed them he did show them alone. The one who took action is the one who materialized it, and the reward came the one who took that step when God was speaking several things. There are people who had it not books that are full of several things, but never took steps of faith. Yet others continue to build on their failure, reinventing. Themselves and sustaining. The stamina to continue vating themselves and leaning only to the comfort of scripture until they emerged. Here in lies the fallacy. No great man comes out of nowhere. Just because you are not aware of the story does not mean there was no story. We live in a generation that has such disrespectful mastery and results. We just assume that because people have been anointed, they magically jumped a lot of process. My goodness, remove the shirt of any champion, and seized cars that will scare you. Don't the glamour of the palace sometimes and make it look like they were never in the wilderness. There are cops that you. Cannot pray away. You only receive grace to drink them. The disciples came to Jesus the Mother and came to negotiative positions for our children left and right, And he said, the position is black, And what can you drink of my cop and be baptized of my baptism. Action action. When God brought Pastor here, I'm sure, but so God and said this place was a bush. Can you imagine that? Do you know that for every time you succeeded, you would have still failed. It's only that when we see the other side of success, it is so beautiful, so we say things like you are lucky, you are lucky. Show me a football team using Pastor's example that has never failed. Even the greatest footballers have had. To carry themselves in shape sometimes and walk out of the stadium, and they go back, reinventing themselves, reinventing themselves, reinventing themselves. Jesus, as the son of God, went to certain places as a man. Of God, laid hands on the sick. And nothing happened. He never said, from this day I ceased to be a son of God. Am embarrassed. God should score hundred over one hundred. He left them in peace and went to continue his name. Every time you fail, cry with courage, rise up with courage, reinvent yourself with courage, and know that God is faithful. Did you hear what I said, God is faithful? You have lost money in an investment. God is faithful. The time it takes to grumble and complain is the same time it takes to someone courage and continue. Remember destiny, same function of time. Allelujah. I know someone who once was building and I think was it that rain washed it? Or one story like that? And for a long time. One time, with all your respect, I had to tell. Him, you have had this story before. Don't tell me again. Every time with me, you are making reference to this where us from that time? While you were saying that story, someone was in primary five. This person went graduated and has beauty house. Now you have refused to build the house. Using the same energy to attract simpathy, I expense it. I will not cry anyhow, No I select the location. Not everybody deserves to see my tears. I will cry before his presence, but I will not waste my tears. Are you learning tonight? You need to take steps of faith, no matter what you receive. From this conference, no matter how powerful the importation is that comes upon you on Sunday, Ladies and gentlemen, victories at the other. End of action, the steps of obedience. If it be doubt, bid me come now, man, go and wash yourself seven times in Jordan. Mister man, you are blind, but someone the courage and invented strategy to get to say long, because if you do get there and wash your eyes, you will see. He would have been angry in offense and said this person, I doubt if you are Jesus, the son of the Living God, and remain there blind with more in his eyes the potential for miracles. I made up my mind at once. God gives me the march in order I will will take the step. Let me feel in victory. Those who are not afraid of failure are those who weep perpetually. Allelujah, perpetually, perpetually, perpetually. The first song I ever wrote in my life. One day I was thinking about it and I laughed. I said, my goodness, what kind of inspiration came to write that song? I mean, youth. If I sing that song, I think it's nice. I hope he's nice. If I sing that song. For you, you. Would ask which want to ask God for forgiveness? That was the first song. I did my best, wrote everything that I understood, what's the reflection of my revelation? Wrote all kinds of things. But if I stopped there, and I said, you know this, this thing is terrible. Maybe for listen, let me tell so every time you fail, use it as a ladder. Climb higher, Climb higher. Through that failure, and see higher, and tell yourself the next time it will never happen this way again. Are we together? Have you seen a learner driving on the road. He puts a big l and he's just swinging, putting trafficator where there's no way. He's not even aware that there's trafficator until someone says. What are you doing with this? And he tries to and you know, wanting to press the break and it's accelerating and everybody's clearing the way. You are laughing at that person. In one two years, that person will be driving as fast he had to legos, and you'll be driving while he's doing other things, and you will look at him and say, how long have you been driving? He said, just started last year, whereas you've been afraid of the road for ten years. You got your driver's license ten years, but never had the courage to come out. Are we to get Yeah? Someone went to. Farm and lost his crops because of a bad season, and while others were crying, he went back ray, invented himself and started again. And in the midst of that failure, he now he now got connected to people who are into export at a very, at a wholesale and change his life. Whereas others were, they're blaming everything but them. Make up your mind saying the name of Jesus, shouted saying the name of Jesus. I obtained grace to take action. I'm rapping up, sairy. You obtained grace to take action. One more t I'm sorry. You obtained grace, grace, take action to take action. What will they say? They will still talk if you fail. We talk about Jesus, We talk about Satan. Everybody in between we talked about So settle it once and for all. Whether you are Jesus, that you are Satan, somebody will talk about you. Make up your mind. To throw away this ego and all of that and start making giant constructive. You see, people never believe in you until they see the vision. Imagine. Then someone will say I knew you were going to be great. They didn't know anything. It's your courage and your faith, your first doors to open. The name of Jesus Christ. I like Paul Paul is in the prison and he's writing letters to people. I hear you guys are misbehaving. Receive this letter first and wait for me. I will come out of this prison, and I will come out. What kind of a man was that? This is someone who you would think he's not even sure if. He should leave. He's in the prison and he's said, I to word that you guys are doing this. No, no, it ought. Not to be. So you have allowed people to bring another gospel. Take this letter first and tell so, so, so and so I'm coming, and truly you will come. The guy refused to die die, came back to life and said. No, I'm not dying. At the end of his life, he said, I fought the. Good fight of faith. I have finished the cause. You can weary failure, you can weary nay, say us. The greatest way to respond to all of these things is to keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, cheap moving, keep moving. I always wondered how a snake that does not have of yours. Look at how men run away from snakes. They will prefer running away from a snake down from a dog. Are we together or a cow? Than as horns, the horns that can eat you, and yet we will prefer cow than a snake. What kind of attitude it crowls? It looks slow, looks sluggish, but very visionary. Does not have the power to dig holes, Yet it can get into any hole, drive whatever rat that is there, and eat it in fact, and go and stay there. It becomes this habitation. A surpent is said, be wise as a serpent. There are many lessons you can learn from a serpent. A serpent looks like a hopeless creature. Anything can match it, or you go on your hate. No excuses whatsoever. It doesn't give excuses. I may not have hands, I may not have feet, I may not have other constructions that are advantage. In my body. But I will move anywhere. I will climb trees, I will climb through the fence. I will smoke myself to a house. A snake can live with you for ten years and you will not know it is eating. It's in the eggs of your chicken and you will not know. You know that, And it's not so fast. And when it's time to swallow, have you seen the things that snake swallow? What's your television? What kind of courage is that? When the antelope is dead. Then it starts small. You will be laughing. You just keep watching it starts to expand in a fearful way. Plus the haunts, it will swallow it. Before it swallows it, it's already planned where to go one lie down for the next one year and not move. It will swallow that antelope, bones and everything. And they have survived. Yet there are men who have hands, they have things, they have a mind that can think, and they keep giving excuses. What if, people say, in the name. Of Jesus, I'm speaking to an audacious people, the grace that. Makes harm upon you, that you kill these excuses. And begin to take shiant steps. Receive that grace now in Jesus name. Amen, allow me give you one last key, and then we wrap up actions of obedience. Can I give you the last one? I consider the last one one of the most important keys. I don't want to end my session with you missing this. The last key that completes the faith equation is called patience and thanksgiving. Your faith equation is not complete until you have patience and thanksgiving. These are the components that give you the stame power. Because when all is said and done and your party is done, you will need patience and you will need thanksgiving. Patience is proof that you trust God that you will come to for you. Thanksgiving is investing in advance, knowing that this is a God of integrity. Show me a man. Who has manifested faith perpetually, void of patience and void of thanksgiving. My Bible says to follow them go through faith and patience. Abraham, Father of nations, you know how long he waited from the time God spoke, not from the time his trouble started. From the time God spoke. Jesus was patient to allow the fullness of time come for him to manifest as Messiah. Allelujah. There are things that cannot be adjusted. They are programmed already two seasons. God will not fast tracted. He will only give you grace to go through it. Are we together? Yes, it is nine months for a child. Nine women who are pregnant will not make nine months become one month. You will have to wait. It is nine months according to the time. Of life, and Jesus grew. You would think being the son of God, there should be a supernatural way, because the king's business requires his in two years, should just grow into an adult and then the Bible says this is an exemption. Because he's the son of the living God. But that did not happen. He had to wait till he became a teenager according to the time of life, went through the readiments of the love for eighteen years till he became thirty by the Jewish calculation, to be called a man, to attain onto full masculinity. Then he began his ministry and for three and a half years. When Jesus died, it had to be three days according to scripture, and then he resurrected. There are things you cannot change. God grants you grace to go through them. Shear not this said. I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, and you are mine. It says when you pass through the waters, I will be with you through the rivers. It will not overwhelm you. It says when you walk through the fire. It never says run through the fire. You walk to how do you walk through fire? The speed has been programmed. It is grace that is given to you. Hour together. Now, this is very important every man on. It is given twenty four hours. Those who experience said backs and those who increase. God has never never given Mandy intelligence to invent a way of having more time. Wisdom gives you the ability to. Manipulate your twenty four hours to multiply it into several hours. There are people who have three hundred. Hours in twenty four hours, but twenty four hours is fixed and it will not change. If someone learning this is very important. You must learn to be thankful in Ecclas, Yes, it's three and eleven, very popular scripture that is largely misquoted. The Bible says he makes all. Things beautiful, not in KJV says his time, but it is an error in translation when you use the newer versions New King James NLT and the rest. It says in its time, because he's speaking in context. For everything. There is a time, and it is a way together, a time for everything under the sound. So he makes all things beautiful in its time. It's time. There is a time for it. It's time, and heir as long as it's a child, different not from a slave, even though he be a lot of all. Are we together now? Yes, he's under tutors and governors until the time appointed. John remained in the wilderness until his season of appearance. There's something called the season of appearance, even for John the prophet. There is a season of appearance right now. Is the time's getting close to the time of harvest for many people to reap from the seeds that they have sown somewhere early enough. They started swing by March April. And now they are ready preparing, getting to the final phases of the rainy season and ready for a bumper harvest. Orthers who are complaining and giving. All kinds of excuses, now they will have to leave without any harvest because they did not sow. Patience. Can I tell tell you it takes time to know God. It takes time to build wealth. It takes time to build your faith. It takes time to become a leader. It takes time to surmount failure. It takes time to encourage yourself in the Lord. It takes time. You must learn to be patient. We're live in a world that wants to hurry everything. And it is true that God gives speed. You'll be receiving the grace of speed on Sunday. And the nature of speed is not hurrying you through. The training is bringing an acceleration to fess your yieldedness. And then when the season of training comes to one end. It is the manifestation that comes speedily. And when the day of pentake costs was fully come, the suddenly was not the day. The suddenly was a matter of time. Fifty days had to come. It was the rushing of the spirit that came suddenly. There are things that cannot be programmed, so there is no sodden wisdom. It will take time. There is no sodden growth. That she first dimension of growth is biological growth. Every other kind of growth is painfully. Outsourced to patients. Intellectual growth, spiritual growth. And even that she has one requires time. You have to grow as a mother. You will run away from a child. You just give back to a child, and the doctors just watch the child, but the child and the child starts talking, Hello, my mother. I'm a child of God. I came from heaven and I'm ready to start my life. You run away, as courageous as you are, because it is not consistent with the law of life. Allelujah. If a baby is well fed, he does not become an adult. He just becomes a properly nourished baby. If an adult staves himself to death, he will not die as a child. He would die as a malnourished elderly man. There are things that have not changed. They are ped to time. You have to stop your solver, pray the school of faith. It's good to go to school, allelujah. So let me do a recap. Bible faith is built upon. These one a revelation of God's integrity and ability number two, vision, clearly defined expectations number three and understanding of the demands and the requirements to manifest the expectations number four actions of obedience. And then in all your doings the same power, the ability to give things while you wait, the ability to be. Patient knowing that haven't done. All to stand is the stand. Are we ready to pray? Please rise upon. Your fa. Can we will never se fless we know there's more as founding, and we will. Never set fless. And we are there's all that family, will never settle for less we know there's all that family. Hallelujah. Can we take two minutes to pray, just one prayer that you will pray, and then I speak over you. I like you to pray from the depth. Of your heart, share your increased to be your that's just towards my life and destination. I know that you are great, you are mighty, you are able. Take me every time down ship ministreating destiny. Someone is sprayed. I obtain a crazy why the power of the Holy spread. Go ahead and pray and. Then get back to. Your investing minutes of a just pray you speaking over your destiny? Go yeah, just the seven recovery is the name of ches a. Strife the grave to right hire for the QUI because I'm much boy's lagesty of. This robula back shot back and at the bland. My life will never be lising nothing. My life will never be back at the level. In the name of ch right, I have received the key because many tested the Bible's take the phrase that pray that psuses Someone is praying cost a minute, last rain stretching in. The copsag capola. In the name of change, Amen, in the name of Jesus. Amen, well out of time, but just lend me a minute, play your hand. If you are trusting God for healing in any part of your body, you can stand it for your Lord one. I just want to speak a word. We may not have time for testimonies and all of that, for. Just a minute to pray over the sick, and then to join faith with all the servants of God here speaking over your life. As I rap up my session with you, to now go ahead, please your hand. We believe in the healing. Jesus, the one who heals every time he gathers the people to himself. Among the many things that you seeks that they experience.

Now I joined faith with. The Angel over this house, and I prophessye over you in the name that is above all names. The grace to rise through an elevated dimension in your life and destiny according to the world that the Lord gave the Man of God the nineteen nineties left between now and the end of December. May that grace elivate you the courage to take giant steps of faith. I release that grace upon you, that for someone like the Man of God preached, you may have fallen, things have gone down, You may have filled many times the grace to our eyes. Receive it now. In Jesus name, I decreate, declare by the power of the Holy Spirit, that as you take giant steps of faith, believe in God's on new things, new horizons, impossible dimensions. May My God, but you are. May your life become a skid And I wonder, Let this be true for a pastor there, Let it be true for a business man. Let it be true for a family MANE in the name of Jesus. Everything that represents shame and reproaching your life by the power that raised trives from the dead. I declare you are separated from it forever in the. Name of Amen by this time next year. Repont fat time, man, I'm fat the name of Amen. Would you lend me a ma need to make an other call? My sincere apologies for stretching your time, but it's usually my culture, and I believe that it's consistent with the. Belief in this ministry. Every time God God has a people like this, there is always someone in the midst of God's. People who needs to say yes to Jesus. Now listen to me. Salvation is beyond an innunciation to become a Christian. It is a call to experience the life of God. Are we together now? And I do not want to assume that in the midst of these precious people inside I believe others outside and the many following online, there has to be someone who number one is making a genuine decision and is say an apostle. While I listen to Pastor god Man, I listen to past the god Win, and I listen to you. The spirit of God began to convict. Me, telling me that the season the season to live in sin, in backwardness, in shame, in defeat, serving the devil and serving the flesh. You must discern when. That season is over, and the Bible says, now with the accepted time for another person, you may be saying, I want to rededicate my life. I remember and I recall once making this decision. But as it is right now, I cannot say in truth that I'm in rights standing. With the Lord. I want to give you that opportunity. I'm working on borrow time, my apologies. I will count one to five. I need just one courageous person who will come to stand here and say a postl. I'm not ashamed. I know that I need Jesus and I do not. Want today to end without coming. I count one to five. May God bless someone who has the courage to come and stand here. I begin my account in one. Let's ano them as they come. I'm me beity mi e. E we are mined. Come bless me now, my save I.

I go for whatever and back whatever, and then keep those beautiful hands lifted. Father, thank you for these ones. You have drawn them to yourself.
