Speaker A
blessing of righteousness. Thank you, the Lord. You made us like yourself. You breathed into us the breath of life and inside us is Christ who is our glory. Your name be exalted even in Jesus' precious mighty name.
Speaker A
Everyone here shout a big hallelujah. You may be seated. Amen. Are you excited to be in church?
Speaker A
Oh, are you sure you're excited to be in church? Give the Lord a great, great clap offering and add a shout to it.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. Amen. Now, if you notice you have a pouch on your chair, um if you can take that pouch, that's our offering.
Speaker A
Now it's important to understand the blessing of giving seeds. Amen. I said amen. Now the Bible says in Ephesians 1:3 it says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So once you get born
Speaker A
again, you are already blessed. Say, I'm blessed. I carry the blessing. The blessing is in my spirit.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. So you are already blessed as soon as you become born again. However, Jesus gave us an opportunity through our philanthropy. The Bible says how Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power that he went about doing good and
Speaker A
healing all that were oppressed of the devil. Acts 10:38 for God was with him.
Speaker A
Now the word good there is the word euget which is philanthropic work. That means that the good there was financial contribution to society. That's what he's saying. And he said that financial contribution to society was a product of
Speaker A
the empowering of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost empowered him to do good. The word do good is the word finan philanthropy is the word you. Now why I'm saying what I'm trying to say is this.
Speaker A
When you come to Christ, you are blessed. But according to first Corinthians 9:6, let's see that. I want to show you something very powerful.
Speaker A
According to 1 Corinthians 9, sorry, 2 Corinthians 9:6, sorry, 2 Corinthians 9:6 he says, All right. Can we do passion or easy English? So we can see passion or easy English. All right. He says, so here is my point. A a stingy ser swower will
Speaker A
reap a meager harvest. But the one who sws from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest. See what it says next verse. Okay, easy in the English. See what it says. Remember this. A farmer who plants only few seeds will not get
Speaker A
much as a result. But a farmer who plants plenty of seeds will bring plenty from his field as a result. What he's trying to tell you is this. The producing of result is a product of the blessing. Because you are blessed when
Speaker A
you sow it to produce results. Somebody here. But according to what you sow will determine the quantity you reap. So what I'm trying to say is this. Your giving does not make you blessed but it multiplies the effect and the multi and
Speaker A
actually the the manifestation of the blessings in your hands. So you are blessed. Say I'm blessed because I'm born again. But remember what he said to Abraham. I will I will bless you and make you a blessing. So the blessing is
Speaker A
where your giving plays a part. Your giving does not make you blessed. You are blessed because of all spiritual blessings in heavenly places.
Speaker A
But it is your giving that multiplies the effect of the manifestation of the blessings in your hand. So you see what he said here. He likens how much you give to how much you receive. The quantities the quantities.
Speaker A
So if you plant one seed, if you plant 10 seeds, so according to what you put there, the multiplication comes to you.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. So I had to say that to you to make you understand that how much you give is according to what you want to be multiplied for you. But the ability for multiplication is a product of the blessing. So you are blessed. So
Speaker A
whatever you give will be multiplied. But the quantity is according to what you are looking for. So if you look you're looking for more then you give more. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. But you're not giving more because of a
Speaker A
rise. Neither is it because of greed. You are given so that you can have the potential to be a blessing. So the more I get, the more I'm able to bless more people. And the way to get more is to give more.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Are you here with me? So lift up your offering to the Lord. I want you to do this by revelation. So you're not to God to be blessed. You are giving because you are blessed. And you
Speaker A
are multiplying the manifestation of the effects of the blessings in your life. Father, as we give this offering, we declare by the power of the Holy Spirit, multiply our seed soon. Your word said it, we should prove you because it's a
Speaker A
sure, sure, sure way. Therefore, in Jesus' name, as we give, we give into the manifestation of the glory of God. In Jesus' precious mighty name, we call it done. Amen.
Speaker A
Amen. Father, oh what love you have loved on me a model to be called to share your image divine.
Speaker A
What an honor. What an honor to be ordained. To be ordained and anointed to be your man and your center.
Speaker A
[Music] Dance in the rhythm of your heart. [Music] Father, oh what love you have love on me to be called to share your image.
Speaker A
Oh, what an honor. What an honor. What an honor. To be a man, to be ordained and anointed.
Speaker A
To be a man and your dance in the rhythm of the [Music] father. Oh, I love you. Have love you. I love you. to be a model to become to share.
Speaker A
[Music] What an honor. What an honor to be obtained. To be to be your man and your sense in the rhythm of your of your heart.
Speaker A
So father we thank you for the opportunity to give. Let your name be exalted. Let your name be magnified even in Jesus Jesus precious mighty name we call it out. Amen. Now listen to me.
Speaker A
Um something's coming. Something is coming. Okay listen to me. Um you have to understand the laws of the spirit and the laws of nature.
Speaker A
There's a law in nature which is called giving and receiving. That means that giving and receiving is both a natural law and a spiritual law. So unbelievers can do sin and get results. That's why even companies do corporate
Speaker A
responsibilities and you'll be surprised when they go and give to an orphanage or whatever it is that year that fiscal year something happens to their finances. It's a natural law. Muslims can do it and get results. So a
Speaker A
nonbeliever can that's why Muslims can decide to support a church building and they'll get results. So it's both natural and spiritual. So I I said I'll teach you about it so you understand how these things work because unfortunately
Speaker A
there's a kind of balance about giving. Everybody's apprehensive thinking somebody's looking for money but I'm telling you of a truth. If you don't understand the principle of giving and receiving, you can profess all you want.
Speaker A
B
Speaker A
themselves." Do you know the same people Macedonia were the Philippians? They gave to partnership to the point where they Paul said, "No church communicated to me except you concerning my needs." So it was not church offering. They were given to the
Speaker A
man of God. So you could see there's there's a there's a dangerous teaching in the body that's making people always apprehensive when you talk about finances. Give to multipliers. Trust me.
Speaker A
Hey, are you here? The Bible says if you want to increase your goods, increase the people who eat it. Yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker A
Ecclesiastes 5:1 he said he said when goods are increased the people that eat it also increase. So it's a simple you see when goods increase they are increase that eats them. So if you want to increase finances increase spiritual
Speaker A
expenditure. Amen. It's not a finance conference, but I just had to do that because if you don't do it in faith, it's a waste of time. Amen. It's better you didn't give than you give in doubt.
Speaker A
Now, we're going to eat a very important meal. And that meal, and I'm I'm doing all this because Holy Ghost said to me, he says, "It is never ever going to produce results when there's no revelation behind it." Any Christian activity without
Speaker A
revelation is a ritual. There must be revelation. And when I say revelation, not from your head, from the word. Amen. Now the Bible says something very powerful concerning eating. You can go back. Okay. Thank you. In Romans chapter 14 verse number 22 and 23 spoke
Speaker A
about eating. He says, "Hast thou faith have it to thyself before God? Happy is he that condemnth not himself in the thing which he allowed." I told you next week I'm teaching establishing righteousness. So I'll touch on this 20
Speaker A
next verse. He says, "He that doubted is damned if he eats because he eateth not of faith." So whatsoever is not of faith is sin. It's connected to eating. If you want to do in context, is it connected to eating? What he's trying
Speaker A
to tell you is this that this holy communion, if you don't eat it in faith, you expose yourself to the existing domination that is present in the world. So he says in the fish in 1 Corinthians 11:29, let's go there. 1
Speaker A
Corinthians 11:29. For he that eateth and drinkketh unworthily. Remember what I said two weeks ago. What did I say? Unworthily is what? Hey, two weeks ago, what did I say on this? Unworthy is what? So what does an adverb
Speaker A
do? A verb. So the problem is not who is eating, it's the how you are eating it.
Speaker A
Are we here? So how you eat it is important. That means if there's a how to eat it, it must be eaten by faith. It's not who is eaten, it's a how. So if you are eating communion outside faith, he is saying you eat and
Speaker A
drink domination to yourself. Now the word domination here is not in reference to what you are calling for yourself.
Speaker A
It's actually increasing the effect of what the fall has already produced in your life. We are already under domination. So he's saying that if you don't eat it well, what you are eating to be exempted for, you actually
Speaker A
exposing yourself to it. Amen. So it's not if you don't eat your communion, well, God has come to judge you. You're already in judgment. I I told you a story. No, in numbers 21, we always we always give some funny
Speaker A
responsibility to God. In Numbers 21, the Bible spoke about how snakes came to eat bite the children of Israel.
Speaker A
Remember Bible says that numbers 21 the brazen servant. So there were snakes in the desert already. God didn't go and harvest snakes in heaven that as soon as they didn't respect him he said go down. The Bible say you seehuh the Hebrew language
Speaker A
go there. Hebrew language positive versus permissive. This is positive translation. Positive translation positive. It means God allowed the fiery serpents to go. If you don't read the Bible in how it was written, you will always blame God for things he didn't
Speaker A
do. Have you read it in Kings and the Lord sent an evil spirit to David to tempt him and Chronicles said an evil spirit from Satan? So Chronicle said the spirit came from Satan. King said it came from God. You don't understand.
Speaker A
Amen. What am I trying to the judgment of Adam's curse. But he's saying if you don't eat it well because you probably were eating it for the experience of the divine life, you will seemingly have an experience of an
Speaker A
accelerated curse when the curse has already been there all along. So today, eat it by faith. And you know how you eat it by faith?
Speaker A
Positive response. You already have faith, but there's a response to faith. That means that this how I eat the communion. Father, I thank you that it's your blood. I thank you.
Speaker A
It's your body. By faith, I take it in the name of Jesus. What that means is that anytime you're also taking it by faith in your house, make sure you listen to a message that describes the eating because faith cometh by hearing.
Speaker A
And there there's no point going to put communion in your room and just taking it to sprinkle over your dog because demons are coming. No, that's that's not by faith. By faith, the word of God is coming. you take it. So if you are
Speaker A
confused about communion, go and listen to a message on communion. When your faith is builded, you pick it up. And that's eating it by faith. And when you eat it by faith, you see your body, the response immediately. The pain will
Speaker A
vanish. The sweat will whatever it is, the painful whatever it is you use by faith communion to take is going to have a change. Father, we pray in Jesus name.
Speaker A
In Jesus name over this holy communion. We declare that Lord your power your anointing. We turn the chemistry to the mystery of your body in the mighty name of Jesus. Now you can take the wafer and break it. Every time you break it, you
Speaker A
are changing it to be what Jesus actually lifted because he took bread and he broke it. So when you break it is no more normal wafer. It's too small to be broken, but you are breaking it to signify that this is the body of Jesus
Speaker A
that was broken. Now take the body of Jesus by faith and we take the wine which he said was his blood in the New Testament.
Speaker A
Lord, as we drink it, we do this to show, we declare, we manifest all that the cross did for us. We declare the finished work of Christ in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Speaker A
Can you begin to thank the Lord? Thank the Lord. Bless the Lord from the bottom of your heart. It's called the Eucharist. It's a meal of thanksgiving.
Speaker A
Thank the Lord for dying. Thank the Lord for cleansing you. Thank the Lord for purifying you. Thank the Lord for giving you righteousness. Thank you, Holy Spirit. We thank you for your blessing.
Speaker A
Your name is exalted above all else. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Lift your right hand to the Lord.

Speaker A
Oh, [Music] [Music] goodness Jesus Father, we thank you that you have chosen the foolish things of this world to confirm the wise. Thank you, the Lord, for such were some of us, but we are washed. We are sanctified and we are
Speaker A
justified in the name of the Lord. Thank you, Holy Spirit. For not many noble, not many rich, not many wise were chosen concerning our calling. Here we are. And an unassuming people, a generation that will show the glory of
Speaker A
God in this land of the living. A generation that will enter the promise with the promise in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Speaker A
We thank you. We give you glory. Give the Lord a shout of praise. Hallelujah. You may be seated.
Speaker A
Yesterday, how many of you were blessed? Oh, if you were blessed, give the Lord a shout of [Music] praise. We welcome you all to today's session.
Speaker A
want to celebrate all our online viewers uh those who have tuned in for this special broadcast. It's going to be a blessing even in Jesus name. Hallelujah.
Speaker A
Now the the people who came yesterday are here today. And I said to you yesterday or I realized yesterday that everybody in their calling, everybody's uniquely gifted.
Speaker A
very anointed. So you can see that we all read the Bible but there there's a way some people read the Bible in a certain light because of yeah your calling will determine how you see scriptures the truth farmers read
Speaker A
vegetables and seeds when they see seed like ah this is a revelation of you know somebody was looking for a business in the Bible and they said Lord show me a business from scripture they started reading when they got to Genesis chapter
Speaker A
19 and Lot's wife became salt it's a salt business yeah she started salt business so you can see that everybody and what they are looking for from the word. Amen. Oh, amen. Amen. When Jesus was baptized, Andrew, James and John saw
Speaker A
the dove and they said, "Surely this is the Messiah." They started following Jesus. They came to tell Peter. Peter didn't believe. Andrew's brother, Peter, he didn't believe. He said, "This is the one we spoke about." Peter said, "Okay,
Speaker A
okay." Jesus followed Peter again to his mother-in-law's house in Mark chapter one. The woman's fever was rebuked. She got healed. Okay. Okay.
Speaker A
Do you know that when Jesus came to Peter's boat in Luke 5 and Peter had a boat sinking miracle and ended his financial crisis he said thou art the Lord depart from me I am look Jesus has shown
Speaker A
miracles until he experienced financial miracles he didn't call him Lord it is personal to Peter so somebody might be here you might have a traveling miracle then you believe Jesus somebody will have a financial miracle. Somebody needs a marital miracle. Then they will
Speaker A
believe that Jesus is truly Lord. Do you understand? So today we are opening the door for a marital miracle.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. Amen. So I want you to open your heart to receive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Receive. Every time we bring you people here, by the grace of God, you've noticed that we know quite a number of people, but we also don't
Speaker A
bring everybody. So if you bring somebody, it means God has spoken about them to us.
Speaker A
So you should know we also have family life college in Amalai. We have family life conference in July. So we can say that we already do something like that.
Speaker A
So we but no no no the giftings and the ministries are different. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. And I know you will never be the same today.
Speaker A
Yesterday you saw that there were some changes in your life. Yeah. Yeah. So today you are going to be blessed. Now one of the things I come to understand about scripture is go to Malachi chapter 2:14 and 15 do it from easy English or
Speaker A
message I think message is very expressive in a genz so go to message translation Malachi 21:14 let me show you something very powerful so that hey Jesus is Lord yeah thank you very much for breaking up see what he says he said
Speaker A
here is the second offense you have filled the place of worship with your whining and sniveling because you don't get what you want from God. Do you know why? Simple. Because God was there as a witness. Next verse.
Speaker A
When you spoke your marriage vows to your young bride and now you've broken those vows, broken the faith bond with your vowed companion. Your covenant wife, God, not you, made marriage. God, not you. God, not you. God, I told you
Speaker A
God is the founder of marriage, not man. That's why the greatest disaster to marriage was when man decided to control it.
Speaker A
God, not you made marriage. His spirit next verse inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. So yesterday when we're talking about clinginess, God is there.
Speaker A
God is in the I've been thinking about you the whole day. In the smallest details of your marriage, God is there.
Speaker A
And and what does he want from marriage? children of God. Another version says that good children. In fact, what he's trying to say is that God wants children after the God's standard.
Speaker A
And he's saying to you from what he says so far that children after the godly standard are children that come from godly marriages. If the marriage is not after the standard of God, something happens to the children who should have
Speaker A
been after the standard of God. So God the spirit of marriage that means the Holy Ghost between two couples is called the spirit of marriage. When a husband and wife marry what makes them love each other is not the holy spirit again he
Speaker A
now manifest. You see when he wanted them to pray he calls himself spirit of grace and supplication. When he wanted them to be holy he calls himself the holy spirit. In fact the Greek calls him the spirit the holy. Holiness is his
Speaker A
surname. His name is the spirit. He said numa commios. That's how the Greek word numa had. So it's not an adjective. It's actually a surname, an expression.
Speaker A
That's why if you read what he said in Hebrews 9 also, he calls him the spirit, comma, the eternal. So the spirit is also expressing as eternal. So here he's saying the spirit comma marriage. So the holy ghost in between a couple is called
Speaker A
the spirit of marriage. Don't cheat on your spouse. Whether emotional cheating or physical cheating, Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah.
Speaker A
Are you ready for the message today? Yeah. I needed to scare you small so you can receive grace. Let me scare. You see people don't appreciate grace when they've not seen law. But one last scripture I'll show you. M Genesis chapter very powerful
Speaker A
scripture. Genesis 21. Genesis 21. Something happened then is is the reason why I'm saying why this is a serious matter to God. Let me say this to you.
Speaker A
If you are here watching us or you're listening to us, listen to this. Are you here? Are you here?
Speaker A
God esteems relationship above worship. The way you're treating people and you are speaking in tong, it's not matching.
Speaker A
That's why I said when you pray and you've offended your wife, God won't hear you. Relationship above worship.
Speaker A
Did you remember what he said in Mark 5? When you are going to give an offering, you remember somebody is not happy with you. Repair that before you come back to the church. So God esteems relationship above worship. He says, "And the Lord
Speaker A
visited Sarah." Uhhuh. Okay. So I want to show you a very interesting situation that happened here and it really blessed my heart and I know that the Holy Ghost told me to share it before pastor come.
Speaker A
So I'm obeying. Can I obey? Are you sure I can obey? Okay. Very powerful thing. Two years.
Speaker A
All right. Genesis chapter 21. A minute, please. There was a very interesting story and um Okay. Yes.
Speaker A
Genesis 21 verse 9 just do you have easy English? Let's see easy English so it helps us. Okay.
Speaker A
So Sarah saw Ishmael was laughing at Isaac. Ishmael was Hagger's son. Hagar was the slave from Egypt. Next verse.
Speaker A
Sarah said to Abraham, "Send the slave woman and her son away. He must never have a part in our inheritance. He will not have the part with my son Isaac. So you see and this made Abraham very sad
Speaker A
because it was about his son Ishnel. King James said it was an evil in the sight of Abraham. It was wickedness in the sight of Abraham. Next verse 22.
Speaker A
Then God said to Abraham do not be sad about the boy Ishmail your female and your female servant. Listen to Sarah.
Speaker A
Now you see so that means that now you see this is a summary actually there was an argument because when you read the Hebrew and he says and Abraham was sad there was an argument go back to King
Speaker A
James so we can see the way the arguments look like you see ahuh King James said very grievous do you have any amplified let's do amplified see what amplified said you see and the thing was very grievous, serious evil in Abraham's
Speaker A
sight. So when Sarah said, "Let the boy and his mother leave." Abraham was like, "What kind of wicked woman are you?" Like the girl was minding a business.
Speaker A
You told me to go and sleep with her. She is now pregnant, giving birth to a boy. Are this the estate? I should suck them again. What kind of evil woman is this? So it was back and forth. Sarah
Speaker A
said, "I'm telling you, oh, I'm let him go." They can't share her inheritance. So, Abraham is confused. You knew there was an inheritance to get, yet you told me to sleep with her. I don't get what you are doing. See what he said. Next
Speaker A
verse 12, God was watching. Anytime you are arguing with your spouse, God is watching the margin.
Speaker A
No, that's what he said. God didn't speak when Sarah spoke to Abraham. Look at this. God didn't speak when Sarah spoke to Abraham. God watched the event. Abraham was being told by let the boy go. What kind of wicked things is
Speaker A
this? Back back. Then Bible says Abraham was so sad anointed and saw this evil.
Speaker A
Walked out of the sight of Sarah went to stand somewhere and God came and said hello sir. The thing your wife said don't see it as evil. Let it go. She's right. Listen to Sarah. That means that sometimes when you're arguing and your
Speaker A
spirit is not strong, you will not realize who is wrong. Because sometimes your wife can sound unreasonable, but that's the voice of the Lord. The Holy Ghost, let me tell your wife, your wife is called help meat. The
Speaker A
Hebrew means the one to reveal your heart. And actually the Hebrew also says help me meet is actually translated as help for and help against.
Speaker A
That means sometimes your wife being against you is help from God. Can we welcome Pastor O?
Speaker A
What kind of setup is this? [Applause] [Music] Did you hear that? Are you want me to preach?
Speaker A
Jesus. Jesus. Say Jesus now. Jesus. Proof. I'm okay. How can you take a PhD class and come back to a degree?
Speaker A
Praise God. Hallelujah. I was just enjoying the things. Let's welcome. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Thank you so much. You have such a sweet man of God in this.
Speaker A
[Applause] Absolutely. Clap clap clap. Praise God. So let me let me confess to you. So let me tell you the truth. This is not a preacher's introductory lines. I mean what I am saying. Praise God. Hallelujah. I'm on God's exalted
Speaker A
altar. So I'll not use it and lie. All right. You have such a sweet father and mother. Praise God. Praise God.
Speaker A
In the times in which we live, you must value genuine ministers. You must value them. The truth is, we may not talk about it a lot, but the terrain is filled with people who don't have the right heart, the right spirit,
Speaker A
and the right word. And so when you have one not just um and the chances are or tendencies are sometimes we don't value the one that God has given us. And that's why sometimes people receive more from a
Speaker A
guest minister than their spiritual parents and it's wrong. Not because you shouldn't receive but when you undermine what God gives. You see Jesus himself suffered it when he said a prophet is not without respect except in his own.
Speaker A
Now I'm not speaking about you guys. We have seen and we know that you regard your ministers but it's important to mention these things. So Jesus looked at them and said or the Bible says that he could do no mighty works. That means the
Speaker A
works in the life of the people is not determined by the anointing in the house but by the reception of the anointing.
Speaker A
So there are times that people's life does not reflect the anointing, it is because of the regard they have for the anointing. So if they regard the anointing, they will receive. And that's why you see prophet already said that if
Speaker A
people study the Bible, they study in the line of their grace. And that's why there are spouses who are not blessed by the graces on their spouse's life because they do not know when to distinguish between the spouse and the
Speaker A
grace. They don't. That means even in marriage, you must have the skill to remove yourself sometimes from being the spouse to being the recipient of grace. Are you follow what I said?
Speaker A
Somebody shared a story in Nigeria. It sounds funny, but it's real. This woman had been trusting the Lord for the fruit of the womb for many years. It was not just happening. The husband is a minister. He will go and
Speaker A
minister and people will be sharing testimonies upon testimonies. One day he was preaching the wife stood up and left the church. The man, you know, you can be preaching, your spirit is active and your flesh is wondering. The man kept
Speaker A
thinking, what's going on? What happened? I mean, she just left. He got back home and saw dinner set like it had never been set before. So, he knew that there was no quarry.
Speaker A
with fear though he ate. He ate. Then she came and knelt beside him and said, "I'm not speaking to you as my husband. I'm speaking to you as my pastor. Release my womb." He laid hands on her and they began to
Speaker A
have babies. He plugged in. You see, Mary standing by the cross was not standing by her son.
Speaker A
She was standing by her savior. Hope you know that Mary that gave birth to Jesus needed salvation too.
Speaker A
Okay. I hope you know Mary is a disciple. Okay. Okay. I am coming from the north. I am coming from the south. When when you switch to I am I loved it because being filled with the spirit when wind blows you don't know
Speaker A
where it's coming from or where it's going to so that song the first part is good is correct like I'm from West Africa but when I begin to manifest I am coming from the north from the south from the east from the west I am coming
Speaker A
from I am coming from [Music] I am the one. We we will sing that song like two three times. But let me say a word the Lord dropped in my heart yesterday. I didn't say yesterday. I was going to say today
Speaker A
and I am so happy because there is so much about Ephesus. I don't know structure and all of that. But the word the Lord was dropping my heart. In fact, I should have been saying that to him yesterday. There are certain people you
Speaker A
have raised They have been receiving, receiving, receiving, but their time has come like a bullet shot because they have receive so much that if they continue to only try to receive, they enter obesity.
Speaker A
Those sons are here, they will manifesting, hallelujah, the kind of manifestation about to bust out of Ephesus.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. I don't know if there's ever emphasis in any other region, but you will begin to see shootings like pom pom pom this son po this son po this son poor without struggle strong in my heart say there are some
Speaker A
people they have been failed that a season of manifestation is hitting them they have to manifest manifest so let's I am coming from I'm coming from I don't know how to sing So let us let us manage that will lift his name high. Yeah.

Speaker A
We rejoice in you. We give you praise. We give you glory. So Lord, anoint me to teach truth in simple and clear language that everyone can understand. Anoint my listeners to understand better than I teach and to appreciate deeper than the revelations I
Speaker A
bring. That at the end of the day, our lives will bring forth fruit to the praise of your glory in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Speaker A
Amen. [Applause] Amen. Hallelujah. Please sit. Please sit. And let's still give it up for our beloved mama.
Speaker A
And I hereby exercise my franchise to vote that our beloved Mama G is finer than the [Laughter] prophet. Those in support say I. I. The eyes have it. We don't want another vote. Somebody looked at me and said
Speaker A
that the children look as fine as their mother. I said that's why I married her. I didn't want to marry my kind. I don't want my children growing up and say, "Daddy, why? Why did you do this to
Speaker A
us? Mercy. Mercy. Praise God. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. Meanwhile, my beloved wife is still here. She has not left me and she will not leave me.
Speaker A
[Music] And of course, Sam, did you know the song before? Now, okay. Well, Minister Sam is still [Applause] here and I I started a campaign yesterday. If you have not followed him on subscribe on YouTube, you are wrong.
Speaker A
Go and subscribe. He was not taking it serious. I am taking it serious. So search for Sam Echo. This is the one time you are permitted to bring out your phone in service. Sam Echo E KPO. Um he's got some songs and more coming. So
Speaker A
let's spread the word. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. When you come to a prophetic house, the Lord will now tell you more things than your usual allocation because your location determines your allocation. So since I'm located here, there are people who did not
Speaker A
believe that by this time next year they will be married. But I speak in the name of the Lord. This category right now, right now I'm talking, you know the way Sarah laughed, they even wondering I'm not one
Speaker A
of them. the the ones that particularly say I'm not one of them are the people I am talking to now because by this time let's see they'll be wearing ring because there's a wind blowing you it will just move you v
Speaker A
and so it is in Jesus name amen there's one other category I will not leave them they are well Many brothers is not love that they don't have. It's money they don't have to move the love to the permanent sight
Speaker A
by the wind of the spirit. [Applause] Your shift is connected to a divine idea.
Speaker A
You will receive it and it will look like this. Voom in the name of Do you understand what I'm saying? All right.
Speaker A
So the peace code um in fact that's why I know a lot of people are used to me teaching without any reference on the on the pull pit but you see I had to keep this one to assist
Speaker A
me. Praise God. So I'm going to do some dictating today. Do you understand what I'm saying? I will dictate. I will fly.
Speaker A
I will come back. I will fly. I All right. So the aim of my teaching three three core aims to this teaching.
Speaker A
You cannot arrive at the marriage that God intends without the kind of peace that God brings. You cannot there's a peace code you see without the code of that kind of peace you can they can teach you till tomorrow
Speaker A
until you attain that peace. All right. So there are three key things that would dominate this conversation and where we are headed actually it is you cannot arrive at the marriage that God intends without the kind of peace all right that
Speaker A
God brings all right number two your human experience through human culture weaknesses and wickedness when you begin to uncover human culture you will realize how wicked it is and you see One of the reasons why this is important is I don't
Speaker A
know about the political seasons in this country. I know about that in my country. I know a bit in the western world. But just using it as a type of the example I want to give. The wickedness that politics has visited on
Speaker A
the earth, we have not talked about it enough. People kill and sit and drink tea like nothing happened.
Speaker A
If I do an analysis of the wickedness of politics, you may find yourself looking for a gun because a lot of things going on today in the world is a revelation of political wickedness in my country. They steal a
Speaker A
lot. For example, you see when you talk about corruption, the analysis of corruption is not the amount stolen. It is the debt caused by the stealing.
Speaker A
I'll give you an example. Good. Uh prophet and his wife knows um Jos plateau state. So to get from Abuja where we stay the capital city to J is like a 4-hour drive if if you're quick or five. Put that in context then you get
Speaker A
the story because the culture has cultured us not to be peaceful people. We're going somewhere. So we had a security man in our estate. who live in a gated estate and the guy slumped. I was so sad when I heard the
Speaker A
story because I know him. You know, it's a different feeling when a person, you know, passes in a painful way. So, he slumped. But the status of a security man in Nigeria is actually a poor man.
Speaker A
But the way society supposed to be designed, if it was not wicked, should provide for the poor.
Speaker A
He slammed. They took him to about three hospitals in Abuja. None could take him because the deposit required was not available. The system should never have required a deposit to save a life.
Speaker A
But you see, you can criticize a private hospital. How many emergency cases can they handle and still stay in business? Then when you go to the public hospital, one of the three hospitals they took him to was a public hospital
Speaker A
where the facilities did not exist to answer him. And because he's from Plateau State, now to your mind when I say they drove that distance to go look for help, you will think of a Porsche car because it's two other security guys
Speaker A
that were carrying him around. Wow. So chances are that they did torture. You know, people have tro I don't know what they carried in or a ricketetti car. They drove all the way to Plateau State.
Speaker A
Jos, they went to the teaching hospital. Sorry, they they they went past Jos to his village because his village is another two hours from Jos. So this about 6 hours. This guy slumped. He's unconscious. You may not know the
Speaker A
wickedness of one senator until you do this analysis. They go all the way to his village and they advised them go back to the teaching hospital in Jos. So they did another two hour back. He finally died in
Speaker A
just a man stopped. I watched football. Can one literally was saved from death. A heart condition that had not manifested symptoms was discovered.
Speaker A
AI of Nottingham Forest recently a Nigerian hit the post so badly they didn't even realize he played on a little more. The next day they had to put him in induced coma. His internal organs had ruptured the way he hits the
Speaker A
post. Miraculously he came in for their last game not to play just to show that you know he's fine because the system worked. In 2015 our son had a medical emergency in the US self-inflicted. He was young so you can't blame him. He was
Speaker A
playing with some stuff. 2015 OJ was three. He just put on stuff like a quarter dollar coin, two shapes, you know, children and he got stuck here. I was not even the US. She was nicely my wife that is not the communication
Speaker A
expert and pick her calls. Her sister who had been visiting called her and she picked. Praise the Lord. Now she went door to door. That's the sister before my wife returned from shopping for groceries at the tent door before
Speaker A
somebody answered. The man that answer was a medical doctor who didn't as much as followed her to the house. He just called 911 and closed his door. But praise God he did without knowing me, without being a citizen, without any of
Speaker A
those. 911 responded. Julia was arriving. 911 also arrived. They conveyed them to the hospital. You see, if you don't do your research, the abnormal can be so normal, it becomes your condition. So, this sounds abnormal to systems that don't work. So, they
Speaker A
conveyed them to the hospital. Now, this was in um Maryland, Gettysburg part of Maryland. While they went to the hospital, the journey to Georgetown by road was 44 minutes. But the system airlifted my son and my wife to make it 8
Speaker A
minutes. My wife was describing glass helicopter. Nobody has asked for a cobble or a dime. They airlifted him to Georgetown. He was back home in under 24 hours without a cut open operation. They sedated him, took it out. He was back
Speaker A
home like nothing happened. I arrived the US before we put together the bills. Anesthetic bill will come, physician bill will come, $32,000.
Speaker A
$32,000 happened. It was the miracle of God that assisted yours. Sincerely, I can teach a full message on parenting from this matter because I have never blamed him. We never blame him or cause him you suffered me. Some went by miraculous discounts. A
Speaker A
charity took up one part. I mean miracles happen. We paid some part discounts cover the other. miraculous discount because I know some agencies we wrote to the response was not nice but in one of the major one discount that
Speaker A
one um charity that took up a portion of the bill took 8,000 at once one and who pushed it somebody working in the establishment where to pay took it up I still have never met that human just email exchanges yes but let's back to
Speaker A
the story a system could carry for a visitor 32,000 which he would have to pay after the life is saved. Debt is so normal in Africa. We no longer think is debt.
Speaker A
You know corpses looks like a log of wood until it is your own. So you see obituary on the street somebody's mother died you pass like nothing happened. Somebody is grieving because a mother is gone. So death only
Speaker A
feels like death when it is at home. So chances are that you watch the news in so and so region 15 persons died you move on. So earth has shaped us by his culture. Earth's culture is more wicked
Speaker A
than we have talked about. We are going somewhere. So when people land in marriage and are manifesting grade one wickedness they came from grade 15 society.
Speaker A
So there are certain degree of deliverance you don't give yourself on culture. When you are done praying tongues here, you go home and use your tongue to tongue lash your wife. That's why when church cannot go home with you, you are just playing
Speaker A
church. If your kindest behavior is not in the office but within the four walls of church, you are not transformed. Anybody can act like a man in Rome, but a true Roman is the Roman that goes out of Rome and Rome is still with
Speaker A
him. He's still roaming. So I said, number two, your human experience through human culture, that's number one. Human weaknesses, number two. Human wickedness, number three, of course, touched by Satan, is designed to bring you into adulthood as a traumatized soul. So, a lot of people
Speaker A
live two lives. The original person that got bursted and the one that is left traumatized later in life. So, if you put a lot of people's soul side by side, the one that was born and the one that
Speaker A
died, they don't look alike. So our aim here is to look at you know number two that the peace that God brings that we seek will deal with this. Number three adults are actually not normal humans look at your neighbor and ask
Speaker A
them are you normal? I don't you need to ask yourself the person you are dating is a person nor praise God.
Speaker A
So number three I said adults are actually not normal humans. We are all so altered that the person we become is often unrecognizable to the person God created. You see this is why Romans 7:12 exists.
Speaker A
Do not be conformed because conforming is easier than transformation. Conforming is very easy. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. All right? So is it's extremely important. So why why is this key? There are two key things that
Speaker A
dominated Jesus's teaching when he was going to die. Two things. Number one, he spoke a lot about peace. My peace I leave with you.
Speaker A
Because he acknowledged that you were living or we are living in a world that has taken away peace. Then number two, he promised them a person who would ensure that they nook things dominated Jesus's parting words. And guess what? Everybody who
Speaker A
knows they are going to die, we speak of the most important things before they go. We need to go back and study the things Jesus focused on before he died. Those are the most important things he considered to live with them.
Speaker A
He spoke a lot about peace and in fact we are going to dive into the subject.
Speaker A
All of this is to lay foundation. So Jesus is part in Simon's words and admonitions reveal the most crucial things or critical things he thought we needed for life here on earth. The core of his message was the
Speaker A
peace he left us and the Holy Spirit who will come and be in and with us. That was the core of his message. Two key things. So you read through John 14:15 16. He focused so much on it. All the
Speaker A
other gospels also reveal. He he kept talking about the peace he lives for us.
Speaker A
The peace, my peace I live with you. The peace subject is so central to life on earth that Jesus himself is called the prince of peace. That's how central it is. Let me say the truth to you. Every marriage that is chaotic is
Speaker A
simply missing the peace of God. And guess what? It is people who are supposed to house that peace. We'll get we'll get through on the subject. So let's see John 16. For context, I'll read a couple of verses.
Speaker A
Let's go to from verse one just for context. Actually, I would recommend that you study all of John 16 1-33, but we'll do the first seven verses and jump to um somewhere in verse uh 14 or so. So
Speaker A
these things are spoken to you that you should not be offended. Do you realize that we live in a world full of offenses? These things are spoken to you that you should not be offended. Now watch that next
Speaker A
verse. They shall put you out of the synagogues. Yeah. The time cometh that whosoever kleth you will think that he doeth God service. So in my country when you hear about boo and all of that, it's not new. Jesus told us about these
Speaker A
things where somebody can walk into a place and blast people. You see that's the callousness that has held the heart.
Speaker A
But for the believer, you see your spirit is saved but until you are saved from the culture, you produce result that you hate. You know when you have been through four broken relationships and you have seen the callousness of man,
Speaker A
you are likely entering marriage just to fulfill a social status not because you know what marriage is for.
Speaker A
There are people getting married to pepper their ex and in God motivation is better than action. So what motivates you to do a thing is what God judges. That's why I say in that day some will come to me and
Speaker A
say in your name then he said depart from me you that work iniquity. He judged their intent and called it iniquity. So there are marriages that need to actually come to the altar and give the marriage back to God because
Speaker A
the marriage does not belong to God. The motive was completely wrong. All my classmates are married. Look at this. But let's leave this King James first. It's too strong.
Speaker A
Do NLT do it kill work. This is because go back to verse one. So there are some people that are not as prophetic as prophet. Somebody said his wife when one couple's retreat his wife does not believe that his prophetic is
Speaker A
thick. He said to my wife my prophetic is not thick. So since King James is too thick for some of us, let's go to I have told you this things so that you don't you won't abandon your faith.
Speaker A
Look at what Jesus is saying here. See this Jesus is a very kind guy. He he said Jesus is about to tell them hard things. Hope you know one of the rewards of Christianity is suffering.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. There's something called Christian suffering where 15 people in your organization out of 16 will be promoted and only you will not be promoted because you did not give bribe and God is pleased that you were not promoted
Speaker A
because if our testimony in church is only on things we have missed God. So imagine somebody comes to church brother I want to thank God I've been stuck in the same position for the last 20 years.
Speaker A
The church will go what? Hallelujah. We don't come to Christ because of what's enticizing.
Speaker A
We come to Christ because he has paid it all. That's right. So imagine that kind of testimony. I want to thank God. I've been stuck in the same position.
Speaker A
Brethren, one of the things I want to thank God about is that I refuse to lose my faith. And in fact, the reason I've been stuck in the same position is because of my faith.
Speaker A
I know that God works miracles. and we teach it. I know that God can move wrong buses so that you can be promoted. But let me tell you, God is faithful in promotion and God is faithful in being
Speaker A
in one place. Hallelujah. Let me prove it to you. How many singles here desire to be married?
Speaker A
Lift up your hands. Jesus was like you. God did not just stop him from marrying.
Speaker A
God God did not just stop him from marrying. God killed him at 33. I repeat and I'll prove it to you again.
Speaker A
How many singles here desire to marry? Lift up your hand. Don't be afraid. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up.
Speaker A
Jesus, your Lord and Savior desired marriage like you. God did not just not give him marriage or permit him to marry. At 33, he killed him. He will not die. Don't worry.
Speaker A
The Jesus that died as senior as senior my savior. I was 40 last year. He died at 33. I've lived longer than Jesus.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. But Jesus has succeeded more than me because he finished his assignment complete. So Jesus is currently a bigger testimony than me.
Speaker A
How can a man die at 33 and is a testimony? The salvation of the entire world hung on him. Why did I say Jesus desired marriage? The Bible say he was tempted in every way as well.
Speaker A
Oh, you think Jesus did not see boobs and decide not to look [Applause] again? He was tempted in every way.
Speaker A
Wait wait wait wait wait. Because there was a time the Lord, you know, spoke to my heart and said that if I don't understand the humanity of Christ, I would never walk in his righteousness. Because there's an excuse
Speaker A
you always have that that was Jesus. But when you realize that Jesus dealt with everything you are dealing with then his righteous standards become attainable because you have no excuse.
Speaker A
So Jesus see truth is you think Jesus did not go through puberty did not want to have a babe. You think you are the first.
Speaker A
Let me tell you one one other thing Jesus dealt with in this world today as a man. small popularity girls like oh my god oh my god Jesus they brought sick people Jesus healed them all you think Jesus now have
Speaker A
my god so happy to meet you sir oh my god oh my god you think they celebrity Jesus was super celebrity wait hope you know why Jesus did not have a fixed address they will not let him sleep Jesus was moving like this Peter
Speaker A
can I sleep in your house tonight. Next tomorrow, battle me. Can I sleep in your house tonight? If Jesus had a fixed address, he he would not sleep. Do you know how many places they had to sneak Jesus out of? Do you
Speaker A
realize there was a press and they had to open the roof for a man to be healed?
Speaker A
I hope you know ladies are more emotional about a celebrity than men. Okay, let's compound matters.
Speaker A
Hope you know that when you are popular, ladies desire you more than you desire them. Do you know how many girls were waiting for Jesus to just say marry me?
Speaker A
First lady, mama of the ministry. [Music] [Applause] We live in a time where a lady sits down and is wishing for the woman of God to die so that the man of God, you are not ready. You are not ready for
Speaker A
this talk. Are you understand what I'm saying? So imagine the number of Bethlehemic babes that wanted Jesus. Let me expose you ladies. Imagine how many ladies were going for Jesus crusade with a wrong motive.
Speaker A
Number one to go early so that they'll get front seat. Number two to raise the skirt slightly higher and the to sit to sit in the perpendicular angle.
Speaker A
I was laying hands one time in South Africa with eyes closed. I laid hands on one woman. I don't know what to open my eye. I saw boom. I closed it. Hey, I closed [Applause] it. I saw balloon. I said,
Speaker A
"God what's [Music] [Applause] this? Until you study Jesus the man, you will not understand. He was tempted in every way. Why do couples struggle, fight, get bitter? Some even divorce because they have not yet had a child. You think Jesus did not want
Speaker A
somebody to bear his name. The Bible say he was tempted. So let's uncover every way. He was tempted in. So your lineage will just close.
Speaker A
But he saw better. that the whole world will come to him, not just a line. Do you know and God had a reason for stopping him from everything he stopped him from? Imagine Jesus had a biological family who still
Speaker A
be paying pilgrimage to go and visit the descendants of Jesus. There would have been a Jesus lineage of priests. So let me say it to you. There are good things God is stopping you from because it will complicate your
Speaker A
legacy. So he's looking beyond. Now let's read on scripture. Say I've told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith. That means the faith can be abandoned. What you once believe you can live. Next verse. For you will be expelled from the
Speaker A
synagogues and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God. Next verse. This is because they have never known the father or me. That's why there's wickedness on the earth. That's
Speaker A
why you know mommy D was speaking yesterday about you know um the mindset of the world versus the mindset of the church. And if you learn the mindset of the word in any matter, especially relationship and marriage, you will
Speaker A
manifest like it. So a believer can manifest like Satan. A believer fully saved. Fully saved. Everything we should not do that we do is a manifestation. And everything we do is a revelation of an internalized culture. Next verse, please. He says,
Speaker A
"Yes, I am telling you these things now so that when they happen, you will remember my warning. I didn't tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer." That means I want to leave. So,
Speaker A
you might as well handle the entire truth. Look at the next verse. But now I'm going away to the one who sent me.
Speaker A
Now, this is a big lesson he's teaching in a statement. That means I walked according to my sending. Listen to me and go according to your own sending and not one of you is asking where I am going. Next verse. Watch
Speaker A
this. Instead, you grieve because of what I have told you. Next verse. But in fact, it is best for you that I go away because if I don't, the advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send
Speaker A
him to you. He begins to give them the incentive of his living but not without a warning. Next verse. And when he comes, he begins to speak about the Holy Spirit. Jump to verse 14.
Speaker A
Mhm. Thank you, Lord Jesus. So, he will bring glory. No, I verse 32 and 33 rather. Sorry. Thank you. 32 and 33. But the time is coming indeed. It's here now when you be scattered. each one to his
Speaker A
own way. Some translations say to his own home. That means the deliverance we are seeking will not happen in the corporate sense. He may deliver the package to the corporate but we are going to different homes. We all slept in our houses last
Speaker A
night after rejoicing together. So if we don't catch it personally, we will deceive ourselves by corporate worship.
Speaker A
That's why I've been shouting in my country. One of the commonest language is revival. But what we think revival is is a big meeting. The real revival coming is that you will point to a man that will become the prototype of how to run
Speaker A
a family. When men will come and say, "If you want to learn how to hold a home, look at that person." The easiest place to demonstrate pity or piety is in the house of God. But a person can come and
Speaker A
demonstrate piety here because man look on the outward that has been keeping malice with his wife for three weeks.
Speaker A
The easiest place to stand on the pit when you are not okay is in the body of Christ. You are completely not okay. But our perception could not catch it.
Speaker A
And that's why you see where we are going to we will be so right with God that when we meet as brethren will be afraid to meet in a nonsense way.
Speaker A
Somebody shares a story I read. I think I read in an an RW Shamag book those days when you were going to meet brother Lester Somro who was his father in the Lord. You will do special cleansing because you can just walk into
Speaker A
Lester Somra's office and he'll tell you why you keeping Malice your wife for the last two weeks and two days. He will just tell you something so definite about righteousness and sin and holiness. You you just where did you get
Speaker A
it from? So okay. No, it was not RW Shamba. Um, the name is in my brain. It's not coming to my mouth.
Speaker A
No. Um, he's in America. He now keeps beard. It was Yes. Roth Passley. It was Parsley that shared the story. Thank you, sir. He said, "You will do special cleaning. You will you will repent again. You will carry the blood and
Speaker A
cover yourself very well. He said leaving me alone. This is so deep. Jesus said they will leave him alone. But his consolation is not them.
Speaker A
He say yet I'm not alone because the father is with me. Hallelujah. He just gave them another revelation that when mankind leaves you, this is why a heartbreak cannot break you.
Speaker A
Because you were not with me making me. You were with me for us to fulfill an agenda in God. So if you go, the one that always is will still be.
Speaker A
The very one, don't change the scripture, please. But the very one in Hebrews that says to you, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. So my heart may want to hurt, it may even hurt, but I will turn to the one that is with me.
Speaker A
Every confusion on earth is a revelation of our lack of depth with God. Do you remember when the prophet's apprentice was so scared and the prophet did something very simple? Lord, open his eyes. Because the difference between an agitated and a count person is what
Speaker A
they see. So he opened his eyes. You know there are lectures we give because people's eyes are not open and the lectures are to open their eyes.
Speaker A
So Jesus told them, you see next verse, which is where I'm headed with this, then we'll go back to our peace talk, I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. So God's response to the trouble
Speaker A
around is peace in Christ. So he was not afraid to tell them this because he had a solution. I have told you all of these things. For instance, if I come here and I start giving you analysis of statistics of
Speaker A
broken homes, it shouldn't scare you. I will conclude just like Jesus, I have told you all these things so that you may have peace in Christ. So I'm not going to be afraid of statistics because I'm not here subject
Speaker A
to statistics because I have peace in Christ. Look at what he now says. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. This is Jesus speaking. He's not cursing. Chances are that if you tell this to a 21st century
Speaker A
believer, you'll get God forbid. The number of things Christians in my generation will say God forbid to Jesus for plenty in the scripture.
Speaker A
How can you tell me I have trials and sorrows? I'm the blessed of the Lord. I know you are the blessed of the Lord.
Speaker A
part of the package of the blessing. Just like last year, we landed in Ara and two members of our team were not with their yellow fever card. I say I came to preach gospel. He said I should give you bribe so that we
Speaker A
can go. We were a number of us, some from Europe, from from here, from there, not with their card. Okay, that was the year before last. One of us did not have theirs present, but they had the picture. They said, "That's fine."
Speaker A
So, we had two persons strapped in the situation. One by one, we watched every other person leave when they answered to give what they asked for. So, we're left alone. Of course, I want to abandon my guys and leave. So, I
Speaker A
looked at the guy. I said, I came here to do the gospel. I'm a man of God. If you have the choice to ask me for money, that means you have the choice to believe me that they have it
Speaker A
is not just here and you can let me go. He said the rules. When you ask for money to pass them, you forgot the rules.
Speaker A
when I refuse to give money. You remember the rules? You know what he did? So he said, "We have to take the test." He wanted $50. The test according to him was $20. No, the reverse. What he asked for
Speaker A
was lower than for the test just to incentivize my giving him money. So I told him I won't they should get the nurse. They kept us another 30 minutes plus. They said the nurse is coming from the other
Speaker A
terminal. When more than 30 minutes passed, I mean we were really left alone the airport with them. I went to him and said are you punishing us for trying to do the right thing? He said no no no she's coming
Speaker A
from the next terminal. They called that she's busy and there's just one nurse in this airport that can administer the vaccine. So after some couple of minutes again I went back to him and say you are punishing us for doing the right thing
Speaker A
and at this point I am asking you to exercise the option to let us go.
Speaker A
Actually at that point he had no choice. He now said please don't come to Ghana next time without it. That's how we left. Hallelujah. I didn't they didn't have to take divine. I didn't have to give money because I suffered for
Speaker A
righteousness sake. Do you understand what I'm saying? I know it doesn't sound nice. It's like when a sister is sharing testimony, brethren, I can't explain it. Explain it. Explain it. If you press anybody tell us [Applause] [Music] because a testimony is incomplete
Speaker A
without how the test was passed. It is testimony because a test was passed and when you explain how you pass the test, the brethren can learn. That's why testimonies are to teach a lesson. How did you attain it? So look
Speaker A
at what Jesus said. He said, "But take heart." Oh. Oh. Oh. We're now about to enter the subject I give talk about. Let me read it again. This verse 33. I have told you all this so that you may have
Speaker A
peace in me here on earth. You will have many trials and sorrows. There are some of you here single especially ladies.
Speaker A
You are not single because you are not fine. It is that the stupid people that came are not qualified to be in your life. That is a trial and a sorrow.
Speaker A
Do you get what I'm saying? So men came. It's not because men did not come. And the truth is that more stupid people will come than people that have sense because the world is populated by stupid people. No, I did a calculation in my
Speaker A
city Abuja. The church is scoring F9 in rich. Apply the same test in Ara. you will realize that you are too comfortable as a believer.
Speaker A
Dr. Paul Enes sits a 100,000 at once. There are three services on Sunday. So let's assume all services are filled with new people, not workers staying back and people repeating services. Let's say 300,000. As big as my church is, what
Speaker A
what should we sit full capacity on a Sunday morning? 5K 25 or 3,000 stretch with all the overflows.
Speaker A
That's a church as big as our church, our home church. If I aggregate all the churches, Catholics are big and all of that. If I aggregate all the churches that sit on a Sunday morning in Abuja, we perhaps we collect a million people
Speaker A
together. Many years ago, Abuja used to be around 3 million people. We should be around 10 million. Yes, should be. No statistics anywhere. I'm just the the Boston population across the number of years after the 3 million statistics. What is 1 million in 10
Speaker A
million? 10%. If you scored 10% in school, would you pass? So when God helps you put together 5,000 people and you now want to oppress the body of Christ, we are the happening thing. We are the next biggest thing.
Speaker A
You are just a foolish person because what's 5,000 in 10 million? I've been shouting in Abuja that more people gather in gardens on a weekend to drink and carry babes than gather in church on a Sunday morning.
Speaker A
True. Joints everywhere. Gardens are busting. Lunges and clubs are busting everywhere. That's for those who come to church. the number is bad. So we score an F comfortably in numbers. So that's the kind of word that Jesus is saying. I have a curriculum of
Speaker A
peace you don't understand. I like the quietness today. People are used to me coming here to jump. Today we will suffer this message together. Cuz when I was preparing a message, I just say, "God, why? Why are you punishing me first before I punish
Speaker A
the people? Cuz I realized that there's a dimension of peace I have not caught. Don't worry, we suffer together today. But he began to reveal to me problems. I came with repentance. You must repent today.
Speaker A
So I have told you all of this so that you may have peace in me. Do you remember the scripture? In him we live, in him we move, in him we have our being. And Jesus is summarizing it to
Speaker A
say that when you are in me, there's a certain kind of peace. In essence, no matter your analysis of temperament, your temperament should be the Holy Ghost.
Speaker A
Let me tell you the truth. When your maturity gets to a certain extent, when people see you, they will not be able to use those temperament things to define you. Because it will be peace in him. I'm sanguin. I am I am even you
Speaker A
using your mouth, you know, to do analysis. You are so knowledgeable in it. I'm flag moo boo. Well done. Temperamental analysis. Like your whole life is a temperamental summary.
Speaker A
The reason I've not been able to kick relation I know myself. I know my You don't know who you are. You only sang I know who I am. Then you went back and then you see somebody on online their
Speaker A
profile is what's those stars and moon that they worship that I'm Aquarius. I'm cancer. I mean hanging all the things that God use plague to kill in Egypt you adopting it. Some god moon and stars.
Speaker A
Somebody that was not filled with the Holy Spirit told son to stop. He stop you. You are using son to determine your life.
Speaker A
Some of you will go back this night on your social media go and edit those nonsense. Your lady just put son of God. Son of God.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. I have told you all of this so that you may have peace in me. Some of us are too troubled. He didn't even sleep well last night. Say in me you have peace. He said take no thoughts what you eat or drink
Speaker A
or like my pastor say who will I marry? He say in me you have peace. Hallelujah.
Speaker A
Marriages are failing because people who lack peace are inside. He say on earth you have many trials. Pastor wisdom came and thought at our men men only conference and he said something I had never heard. Jesus he say a marriage is saying they don't
Speaker A
have a child. The man does not realize that his wife is his first child. So there's no childless marriage. Is it say because he say because in the wedding ceremony it was actually handover of fatherhood that one father gave the next father the
Speaker A
child daddy I am your daddy my daddy my daddy your baby is singing I will be singing and dancing and shouting that's why if you are a boy you want marry and you're not a daddy, don't marry. Daddies take care of
Speaker A
babies. If you can't take care of her, leave her because the transfer is a serious matter. Let me know another curriculum. Now watch this. He said, "But take heart because I have overcome the word. In essence, if I am your
Speaker A
peace, your battles have become mine. Look at the analysis. Have peace in me. I have overcome the world. So you don't have to do the overcoming. You rest in me. So when the situations come, have peace in me. Lord, I'm 35 and single.
Speaker A
Have peace in me. Lord, we have a marriage, no baby. Have peace in me.
Speaker A
Lord, I'm under this. No money. Have peace in me. So God wants to condition us into peace to fulfill his will. Because without that peace, we can't do his will.
Speaker A
You see why I talked about culture? Because culture has cultured us to worry. Culture has given us ideas that are so strange that until we go back to his peace. So the peace code, do you know to choose a life
Speaker A
partner rightly must be from a place of peace? And like Mama D said yesterday, what kind of peace? That's what we're analyzing today. Do you know if you don't understand what I'm saying? As a man, the economy can make you a monster of a
Speaker A
husband because you won't go with his peace. You will go with the condition of the city.
Speaker A
And your wife is wondering what happened to my husband? Money happened. Do you know if you don't understand his piece as a woman? By the time your classmate's husband buys her a Lambo, you go home and lambast your
Speaker A
husband. Lambo to lambast. And you know there are two dimensions of lambasting. There's the vocal lambasting and there's the attitude lambasting is worse because the man does not know what he has done. He does not know what he has done
Speaker A
to deserve what he's going through. Attitude flying everywhere. Say I have peace. I have peace. I have peace in Christ. I have peace in Christ. I operate from peace. I operate from peace. Say it loud. I operate from peace. I operate from
Speaker A
peace. Don't worry, we're going somewhere. The reason there is bad parenting everywhere, people don't have peace. Zero peace. That's why you see some people are parenting through fear, fear, fear, fear. They afraid of everything. Their child is in school,
Speaker A
they can't sleep. You think you love the child, you don't love the child. It's trauma. You don't have peace. This why some people cannot trust. Your husband does not pick call.
Speaker A
You already using those apps online to see his location. You don't have peace. Hope you know suspicion is a spirit. It's a very special spirit. It will just come near you. What is he doing right now? Men are terrible. Oh.
Speaker A
Ah. You want to trust man? They know they trust man. Oh pe his tranquility. No wonder he keeps in perfect peace those whose hearts are stayed on him. Some of us what we need is to go back to his presence and say, "Calm me
Speaker A
down. Holy Ghost, please calm me down. Holy Ghost Holy Ghost Holy Ghost Holy Ghost. You are too boisterous. Somebody that God is turning to a millionaire this year is attempting to commit suicide.
Speaker A
Why? Peace. Is in his peace that his promises make sense. That's why there was a famine in the land. Everybody was talking rubbish. The prophet said this time tomorrow. But a man who had no peace, who allowed the
Speaker A
boisterousness of the situation to unsettle him, said even if God, do you know that was a straight insult on God. God is not wicked. But God looked at him and said if you downgraded me this much prophet tell him he will see
Speaker A
it but he won't touch it. So even the promises of God does not make sense until we come into peace. That's why in Philippians 4:7 when you pray the first thing God establishes in you before answer is peace. Because if God brings
Speaker A
your answer without peace you can mess up the answer. So the first thing he establishes in you is his peace. So you rise up from the place of prayer. trusting God for a godly marriage. You spend one week, nobody
Speaker A
even said hi. But because there is peace, you are able to take his promise.
Speaker A
You're able to say, "I give you praise. I give you glory. Thank you, Father.
Speaker A
Thank you, Lord Jesus." We put our being in Ara at risk. I was sharing Prophet Mama G when we met on Friday. We're in the UK. um July for our meeting July 25th and 26th precisely.
Speaker A
The plan since beginning of the year was come to Accra or rather when we fix Ara come to Ara when you get back go for your biometrics to renew your UK visa which should be somewhere around 4th of
Speaker A
June. But May 5th while I was trying to now okay get in the system and do that I was realizing that like okay they changed the agency in Nigeria the system changed I couldn't see they were not releasing
Speaker A
dates up to a month so I couldn't get June 4th amazingly I was seeing that day that very day the next day a few slots so I'm like I'm not used to this we're used to free slots being from like three
Speaker A
weeks away h we now looked again and say Okay, let's get this done. It gives us a lot more time to plan our UK uh program. But the general advice is 15 working days. H this is 5th of May at
Speaker A
Christ end of the month. We felt right in our heart to do it. You know when they brought referred the case to Jerusalem and the apostle said as it feels right to the Holy Ghost and us that mean we we w it with
Speaker A
him. Well when we were ready to do this we're not ready for some reason we had filled forms and declared the amount we have to deal with the trip. We didn't have it. So the next concern was I need to
Speaker A
get more money to my account. And there's a way you get money to your account that even looks funny. So by the time I tried to sort that, it was 6th of May. We get we got that sorted, got money in in the right
Speaker A
way. All the appointments were gone until 8th of May. Counting from 8th of May, we get 15 working days to the 29th of May, which we actually traveled. But there was a bank holiday in England on 26th. That means 15 working days full
Speaker A
circle the 30th and we had a ticket booked for 29th. So we went back home. You know Matthew 18:19 if any two of you shall agree. That's a hack that marriage fulfills. That means with me and my wife
Speaker A
I don't need a congregation to be powerful. We already two. It's a cool room. So we we began to pray. We join hands together. Well, we're actually calling it out in five working days. But as we prayed, the Lord just dropped in
Speaker A
my heart 21st May. So I turned to Julia and said 21st May. Because when his word comes, what he does is to put you in a place that you stop the worry. So we began to rejoice over 21st May. Rejoice 21st May.
Speaker A
Well, I went back in the flesh. So, I began to Google. You know, Google is where Satan uses these days. I began to Google. How else do you travel to Ara as a West African person other than with your passport? The Holy
Speaker A
Ghost to div me. I am. So, it's not you alone. We're all inside. Well, I found out about Echo's travel pass. Did a little more research.
Speaker A
realized that some people some countries give trouble on their air border not land border blah blah blah across seem all clear I called our uncle that works within an agency in the airport he went to African world airlines they clarified
Speaker A
that it's fine it's fine it's fine there are two dimensions of peace we actually got the echo travel it's valid for 5 years I'm like I might as well have it but after I got it I realized that I exchanged my original
Speaker A
peace for a false piece I realized that God wants to work a better miracle than the nonsense I was So we got it. I kept it aside. I removed my faith from it and we actively went back to rejoicing over 21st
Speaker A
May. My brother is around visiting. He has PS5 I play. If we have time, if you are good, you can try tonight. I'm joking. So this day 21st May was a Wednesday.
Speaker A
hours at home because of our kind of schedule. There are times I take half the day off then go and start live for the rest of the day. I mean so busy between the law office we have two
Speaker A
offices the law office the ministry office it's a 10 15 minutes drive with no traffic between so most times I maintain appointments here then end up here for the rest of the means a lot so that day I was taking half the day off
Speaker A
at about 10:30 we decided let's play some games before I go out for the day don't be that irresponsible if you work for somebody go to work so we we got it all set I was doing a few other things by the way I even
Speaker A
still worked from home that they needed to do a few things online. Sent to my guys approve approve approve. About 10:50 something, we're ready. So, I was walking to the sitting room to go play with him. It hit my mind
Speaker A
again because when Julia was at the center attending to some uh prayer meetings and all at the center, that's the R&M center. It hit my mind again.
Speaker A
Today is 21st May. 2 minutes to 11 a.m. As I was getting to the uh couch to sit and play the game, I went back to my not a notification. I went back to my mail again, expecting my
Speaker A
mail. And there was the mail. Hallelujah. Travel documents ready. So I called Julia immediately.
Speaker A
She was in prayer meeting. So I sent a message. When you finish that prayer, eh, drive through home and pick me because pick up time is between one.
Speaker A
Okay. No, not prayer. She was in training. There was one of our guys that is a social media person was training some of them on. Yeah. But if that training because between one and three she said what does it mean? And I say it
Speaker A
means our visa don't come out because from experience when you get a a mail with explanation of refusal I hear refuser but when you get a mail to pick document by the way I went to look for the email why there's a piece we got
Speaker A
there God was waiting to tell us what he had done we're being attended to in two booths this person then us open space so you can hear what they are saying they asked the lady being attended on this
Speaker A
boot we're here. Why are you here? She began to what Nigerians call par like get angry. It's a team working days later. In very unkind terms, they told her press that bell, not those exit bell and exit the building. If you didn't get
Speaker A
a mail, you have no business here. 18 working days. Now, 21st May was nine working days for us.
Speaker A
That's how we picked our passports. The story doesn't end there. a very dear friend of ours also same day we didn't even know is when we spoke later we realized we went in the morning went in the afternoon so I called him up have you
Speaker A
guys got the mail to pick your passport he said no I've been checking my mail I told him God knows your case is not urgent because his travel is in July yes they have a US travel before the UK
Speaker A
travel but it's later in June so I say your case is not ordained. God needed to attend to for God to also show you his faithfulness when we were heading to the airport past 6:00 p.m. The day we came
Speaker A
on 29th was when he sent me a screenshot of his email that he got that day past the pickup time. Don't forget they apply same day as us. So that was 14 working days for them. The mail came past the
Speaker A
pickup time. That means they were not going to be able to pick until Friday by which time we're ready. Are you following the story? So I mean it's visa. I mean it's visa. That's how somebody may think until your
Speaker A
schedules can create complication in your life. But why did God meet a couple praying and decided to give a word? He wanted to establish them by peace. He wanted to say you know what forget your acra journey is not a worry.
Speaker A
Then he put all these other stories around our picking that passport to say if I gave you a word you can bank on it. So you see that sleepless night you have been having after the word God gave
Speaker A
you, you are the one that is wrong. And guess what? Every time we don't embrace his peace, we get into bad character. Every time. Not sometimes. Three key things we see in John 16 verse 1-33. Three key things. Number one, it describes the
Speaker A
condition of the world. The world is not going to change because of you. The word is the world. Heartbreaks are still going to happen. Foolish boys are still going to be on the street. People are still going to chase your girlfriend and
Speaker A
want to take her from you. And the worst one which is one of the things I taught here last year, your spouse is still going to be imperfect. I am sorry. Since last year till now, you realize that it looks like your spouse
Speaker A
is even worse than last [Laughter] year. You are wondering after all the teaching we receive in Ephesus. It's like my partner just have the air the fence is missing.
Speaker A
Do you realize that your spouse's Christianity irritates you when their imperfection shows up? Your husband is going malakaba. He said, "What is malakaba?" Stop them praying in tongues.
Speaker A
He's not your type that should be praying in tones. After all, you are doing to me in this house. Stop praying. They give your spouse openly prayer to lead. Say prophet doesn't know you. That's [Music] why if prophet knows who you
Speaker A
are if prophet knows what I'm going through in your hand you will not lead openly in [Music] prayer. So the number one thing Jesus estab he say in this world you have many trials and sorrows. So make peace with
Speaker A
it. Your partner is just a special category of trial is your personalized trial. If you are married here, turn to your spouse say try me some more. I'm ser if all the married people stand up. M come ah the word of God must be
Speaker A
practiced. Where are your wives? Go to them. It's not protocol time. It's not pastor time. Go to your wife.
Speaker A
Everybody, Pastor Evans, go to your own face them face to face. [Applause] [Music] Say to them, "My beloved, my beloved personal trial, I am aware. I am aware that you are still a work in progress.
Speaker A
And even God is still putting up with you. If God can put up with you, who am I not to put up with you? I will behave like my father God and I will treat you like he treats you with love, patience,
Speaker A
longsuffering. That means I will suffer long with you. So help me God. You may kiss your wife.
Speaker A
[Applause] [Applause] Pastor Elvis, welcome [Laughter] back. Sammy, don't worry. You do your own way. Get home.
Speaker A
Praise God. Amen. So the number one thing Jesus establish is that in the as long as you are in this world until we get to that other world reserved for us you see this one you will even see where the trouble is
Speaker A
coming for it to come. That's why sometime Christians are confused. After all my prayer this happened to me in fact your prayer is why it happened because God wants to show Satan that you have peace.
Speaker A
So God is just crossing his leg. I say Satan remember Job who was not even filled with the Holy Spirit like you.
Speaker A
God busted. Have you considered my servant? Satan tried to make it about things. He say forget things. That guy has something deeper than things. So we must be so at peace that our partner's imperfection does not set unsettle our Christianity.
Speaker A
Don't forget one of the things we considered last year that it is that stability that help disciple them. Let your wife look at you and learn what forgiveness means by how you forgive. So that the doctrines of Christ
Speaker A
is materialized before eyes. Let your partner be able to look at you and say, "What kind of person are you?" Do you realize that in every area you have refused to forgive is an area God has forgiven? That means your lack
Speaker A
of forgiveness takes you off the same page as God. You're condemning a person that God has released. So even God is shocked. God is surprised like I have released my daughter. What's your own? I have released her. Number two, Jesus was trying to
Speaker A
explain to them that the condition of their soul is where he will pass the victory.
Speaker A
That's why he said have peace in me. So the world will not change but you can be located in peace. It's not the world that will change. That's why I described earlier just using one political analysis. You don't want to hear more stories of the
Speaker A
ultimate impact of the wickedness of politicians. You don't want to. Everything that is not working that somebody stole for is not the money that is a problem. It's how many people died and keep dying. Do you know how many lives an
Speaker A
average bad road has claimed? Do you know in my country there are projects that government releases money for yearly. So the the incentive is you need to keep the project at that state so that a budget provision can be made for
Speaker A
it because if that road is good you cannot make budgetary provision for it. So you allow it that way by stealing the money meant for a year to year. I spoke to somebody who spoke to a military contractor in my country.
Speaker A
Nigeria has not fought war since the civil war apart from like some echomog duties within but the money that is spent on acquiring in quote arms yearly. When a stock keeper tells you nothing new has coming for 30 years but
Speaker A
for every year there's provision for a nation not at war. Let me bring it home and make it hard. It's about to hit somebody. My God this is not word of knowledge. Worth from knowledge. I know some Christians once they have
Speaker A
somebody in government. Every righteous thing you have ever preached for them ends. It's their turn for the national cake.
Speaker A
Some people are only righteous because they are broke. Once opportunity come for them to steal their share. Explanation actually prophet you know when somebody start saying [Music] actually what I get what I'm saying. So the next thing he talks about number one he
Speaker A
describes the worldly situation. Number two, he begins to describe that the condition of the soul is the hope. So he say have peace in me. Then number three, he promises us the one who would help us establish that
Speaker A
peace. Well, that's the Holy Spirit. So the if you read that scripture John 16 1-33, those are the three key things you would pick up.
Speaker A
Three other things you must see in verse 33 which is the core of my message. Our peace is in him not in things. Our peace is in him. See if you don't understand this even in marriage you will
Speaker A
struggle. Julia does not have the capacity to make me truly happy. She plays a part. Well you guys have us in a very beautiful place. So I've not seen the light go off but the number of ads I have seen
Speaker A
when I'm watching YouTube videos since I came to Ghana on solar that means in your house there's likelihood that you see it's just that the place you put us does not look like Ara do you understand so now let me tell
Speaker A
you why I give you that story because you have more light than we where I am coming from even though I am told we are the ones that supply you the light how we are supplying you better with our supply yes yes
Speaker A
it's a contract yes so because if we cut it you know but you see how we are supplying you and you have better than us I don't know but let me go to the story you see that your power that goes off I am not
Speaker A
prophesying and neither am I cursing. Your partner is worse than your electricity condition in this country.
Speaker A
They will go off many times. You see this man of God the number of times I have gone off only my wife can testify. You don't even like me as man of God. I'm a husband. You have experienced me as man
Speaker A
of God. You have not experienced me as husband. That's why sometimes I tell women if you can manage to respect your husband like you respect your man of God, your marriage will work. Because you're always seeing the man, the God of the man, not the man of
Speaker A
the God. But your partner is dealing with both. That means if you treat your partner as they deserve, you're not wise. You must treat your partner according to the peace of God in you.
Speaker A
Your partner will deserve your worst many times. So the best of this marriage happens when I can operate from God's peace, not from Julia's merit. That's why marital love that works is not performance-driven. It's not performance driven. If it's performance-driven, ah,
Speaker A
we're finished. Because there will be off days not because God established off days but because they are on a journey with God the entry that's why with all your tongues you will start a relationship and fornication will be sweet
Speaker A
so it will take operating from the peace of God. You know, you just meet your beloved, you are dating, you were not planning any fornication. You just hugged them. Then you just felt two things on your chest. Oh. Oh my God.
Speaker A
Jesus. Help me right now. Lord. Then you have to take the peace of God to step back because you see, you are tempted to hold what you should leave.
Speaker A
When a hog is crossing 10 seconds, there's a problem. [Applause] Even some brotherly hogs are no longer brotherly. It has crossed the brother.
Speaker A
Oh, it's so long. I saw you is a lie, my brother. I tapping current. I tapping current. Solar power.
Speaker A
It takes the peace of God to pull back and say, "No, no, no, no. Not today, not any time. Your throne is set and forever your kingdom [Music] remains." [Music] Hallelu. Hallelu.
Speaker A
May all men fade away but forever your kingdom [Music] remains. Halleluah. Halleluah. His throne must take center stage by his peace. Because when I elongate crisis with this woman, I think I'm serving my purpose. There are only two purposes on
Speaker A
earth. God or Satan. Every time we glorify trouble in a marriage, not God's peace, Satan is glorified.
Speaker A
So you think you are keeping malice with your spouse. No, you are worshiping Satan. Malice is an act of worship. It's an act of worship. Is a surrender to a system. That's why I sang the song by Prophet Jo. Your throne is set forever.
Speaker A
your kingdom remains. May all men fade away. All agenda fade away, including mine. Because a lot of people in church no longer worship the idols our fathers worship, but we worship the idol. He's the biggest charm carried around the
Speaker A
world. So focused on me. My wife has no peace. Me, me, me. Do you know what she did? Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? You know how I feel, how I feel, how I feel. That's why we have a
Speaker A
depressed generation. They call it mental health is self worship. My my mental health, my mental health.
Speaker A
The same person God told let my peace have peace in me and he's having mental health crisis because bank balance went low.
Speaker A
Mental health boy left mental health. Let me tell you the truth. Medical science can rob you of your faith with decent research. The research will be so decent you will believe it. So they explain to you your clinical
Speaker A
depression. One of your sisters not in this church a Ghanaian a couple of years ago on Facebook an argument busted somewhere and I made a comment. She came after me.
Speaker A
He came after me. She was just mocking me, laughing at me. She had fantastic analysis of this depression matter. I thought she was a Christian.
Speaker A
Then I just realized she's not of the faith. So everything I was saying, I stopped the argument cuz I can't make sense to you. You see, the Bible said that our gospel is foolishness to them that are perishing. I realized that she
Speaker A
was perishing. She didn't let me win her soul, so I left her. Jesus himself sent his disciples says there are certain places don't just dust your shoe like this so he say pull it raise it up shake it very well blow the
Speaker A
sand out blow out the entire sand then go he say so that even the dust from that house will not follow you I did I went to her page blocked her I don't have time for argument I'm not
Speaker A
it's not Jesus finished walking on the streets of Jerusalem he still left the beautiful man at the gate that his disciples healed nobody can finish all the I can't call her but I'm not sent to her [Music] again self. That's why be careful when
Speaker A
medical science gives you a scientific name for a demonic condition. Fantastic scientific name. You just you just collect the name.
Speaker A
Exactly. Exactly. You see, that's why I learn to take God's word for what it is. Somebody met me here yesterday and say she had an ear condition to the right ear. In fact, the way I knew is that she was trying to
Speaker A
find out the story I shared about when we're worshiping in one of our hangouts in Nigeria, how somebody's deaf ear popped. She was asking if I was giving a word which happened to her yesterday or I was telling a story. So, that's how I
Speaker A
knew that indeed there must have been a problem to one of the ears. And she said as we were worshiping here now when I wrote about it well it was not even direct writing I put out a p few
Speaker A
pictures from here yesterday this is my analysis of it because this leave medical science I'm not saying medical science is bad medical science has it place and all of that do you understand what I'm saying but when I wrote about
Speaker A
it what I said was when I was putting an update for partners was a deafening spirit was sent packing because you see the true essence of that story is that a deaf spirit was trying to latch onto a person. You
Speaker A
get what I'm saying? Now I remember hang out in London in 2022. I came in early as usual. Greet people, not a lot of people. This lady came in. She she was from Cameroon but lives in the UK. I finished teaching. I
Speaker A
was not even with compliments of my help like people like Sammy to sing. I just raised a few song and the spirit of the Lord began to move and she comes in the prayer line.
Speaker A
I greeted with her. I remember when we started and she walks in the prayer line and she's overcome by this terrible fever. Absolutely overcome. Like she was shaking, she was sick.
Speaker A
She instantly it hit my heart that Jesus walked into Peter's house and sees his mother-in-law and rebukes the spirit. So he didn't go into medical analysis. He found the spirit behind the fever. And I turn to the lady and say, "You found
Speaker A
spirit of fever." I barely approached her when she went under the power and I just knew I caught it because if I naturalize the spiritual condition, I will miss the solution. So you see that's the same thing that happens when marriage gets
Speaker A
troubled. When we don't realize, you see, one of the things you must do when trouble persist in a marriage is to ask what spirit? What spirit is doing this one? Because you see, you don't take a strong man's house until you bind the
Speaker A
strong man. So, you have been to counseling, you have been to advice, you have been to preaching, you have been to it all. You go back, you just wonder why you are still stupid. There's a stupidity that is sponsored by Satan.
Speaker A
sp sponsored with a lot of dollars [Laughter] scholarship. So it's extremely important to realize that what his peace does is to put oh good thank you lord Jesus is to put a new operating system in you. You know the operating system of
Speaker A
your phone is is what determines the function of the phone. You see what's the summary of what I've been saying and I will say for the rest of this service is that we must trap the peace by which
Speaker A
to by which to manifest what God desires because you and I know the marriage desires. Why does he look far? We have not installed what we are saying. So there's a peace he promised.
Speaker A
We must find a pathway into that peace and deal with anger and deal with anger. You don't have peace. Every angry person you meet was not made angry by God. Culture experience experiences something made them that way. And even
Speaker A
God is waiting for them to submit to his peace. So write this now if you're right. Every excuse I have to fail is alien to God.
Speaker A
every excuse because you see one of the things Satan does to us is when the problem persist we begin to find fantastic excuses to explain it away is the family I came from is my upbringing is my this actually when you begin to
Speaker A
excuse weakness you are the final stage of destruction weaknesses must drive us back to the altar to say God this is not normal that's why pastor kinono said something that I find very amazing. He said, "How normal is your normal?"
Speaker A
Because your normal may be abnormal. You take it to be normal, but if it's tested against the standard of truth, it may be horrible. How normal is your normal? So, we should never excuse away.
Speaker A
You see the way you are angry at certain conditions in life. You know, there's a way poverty can hold you, but you become angry at it. This can break me loose. is the same way you need to turn to certain
Speaker A
weaknesses in your life and be angry against them. Why am I still doing you? Why am I still operating at your level? Why am I still reading the Bible and comfortably can stay away from my wife for one week and I'm
Speaker A
normal? That mean there's a corruption in the operating system. Antivirus is needed. Operating system is faulty.
Speaker A
It's not normal. So, how normal is your normal? Because the normal of God is that there's a new operating system called peace. Write this down if you're writing. I'm not just a person. I'm an atmosphere. I am not just a person. I am
Speaker A
an atmosphere. That means people and my spouse in particular will experience me. They will not just know me. You are an experience walking the earth. That's why Jesus is serious about this peace matter. Very serious about it. And that's why you enter some
Speaker A
people's atmosphere, you actually know something's off. Completely off. I shared this story some time ago.
Speaker A
Let me reshare it here. Not shared it here. A lady came at me once. She was married just as I am. But that one was not just overcoming sexual temptation. I'll tell you what it was. This atmosphere matter. So I was
Speaker A
traveling to South Africa and um we met. She is Nigerian. Stop this your laughter. We met at the airport. I realized she's a first- time traveler.
Speaker A
She was going to see her husband in another nation. I was going to missions in South Africa.
Speaker A
She was with her 10 year old son. Okay. So we parted at Adis. We were flying topian. So I guided her. In fact I had to show her through the gates. She she was not just she's not just a
Speaker A
pervert. She's overcome by his spirit. Later on she told me herself she got her husband to do treason with one of her phone. That's how crazy she is.
Speaker A
Okay. One week into my return to Nigeria, she was still in the country. She went to see her husband. I actually deleted her number because I couldn't stand her status. It was pure porn. Her status that she put herself in
Speaker A
funny ways. Just follow my story. Just follow my story. I was back in Nigeria when she called me. She's around my office. Was a Saturday. was in the office alone. mu behavior. If she could pass by, I say
Speaker A
yes. You're trusting yourself. You're a foolish man like me. I was she came by.
Speaker A
I mean, you know when office is an open place. I'm just walking. She's trying to kiss me, trying to hold me.
Speaker A
Calm down. Wait, wait. So, I'm like at the point started using some really harsh word. I'm I'm behaving like this. She told me something she went to do because she knows she will see me. Then now accuse me. It became fierce. It became fierce.
Speaker A
Accused me that I lied to her. She said I said I was going to visit my family in South Africa. So she assumed I live alone in Abuja. So I she was coming back to come and experience me.
Speaker A
I said, see this conversation, it was getting heated. I said, I'm a man of God. She said she has anybody she wants. Calm down. Calm down. You have not heard it enough. She now said that she didn't know how the rules work in plane. That
Speaker A
that day I led her on. that if not that she did not know how it work. She was supposed to take me to the toilet. I'm telling, have you ever been in trouble?
Speaker A
You don't know whether it's to shout or to run. I was in trouble. Real trouble. Like, what do I do? What if this lady Joshua rape? What do I say? So, I began to use wisdom to manage the
Speaker A
situation. Have you ever seen temptation and even your erection knew that don't stand up here?
Speaker A
Don't stand up here. You cannot stand up here. Even my body knew that this one. You are dead.
Speaker A
Just follow my story. Where did my final deliverance come from? I'm a male. I'm man. This is free food.
Speaker A
You know you are righteous. I'm telling you are laughing at me. Free food offered living sacrifice. But as as I was overcoming based on all this drama, making a mental note, this is where it shifted for me.
Speaker A
Making a mental note. Please no. Please. this like I told you it was so traumatic even erection did not cooperate like I'll push she will stand up she will this she with that she went to do this because of she did some things to
Speaker A
her body to prepare it like go to spot yes that she said I don't want to say some things she said she did but in that moment I tell you the truth I lie not if there was any temptation
Speaker A
that came what I'm about to tell you would have killed it to his root I sense suddenly in my office that a legion of presence arrived. Even if I was erected, which I was not, it would have died that moment.
Speaker A
A sudden sense took me over. It was like they arrived in droves. She didn't know I caught it.
Speaker A
Like this was not just going to be adultery. This is a transaction. It just I just it was so overwhelming.
Speaker A
[Laughter] It was so overwhelming like I could feel it. I could sense it. I began to use every strategy known in the books including God help me just just help me.
Speaker A
When I finally got out, she was of course she was insulting me, getting angry. I led her on on the plane. What was all that kindness for?
Speaker A
Jesus said in this world you will have trials. Why? The world does not even interpret your righteousness as a right thing.
Speaker A
Kindness at the airport is leading you on with your 10 year old son. That is leading you on.
Speaker A
But once I sense that presence, God helping me and manage the situation as I lock my office door. She say she needed to smoke. That I have I have offended that she grabbed she began to smoke first.
Speaker A
Yes, she she smokes well. She said she need to smoke to deal with how I have gotten her angry because your cigar I'm already out. I did not enter trouble. You want to smoke? No problem. You see this atmosphere matter.
Speaker A
The presence I sense visited that day. It was deep. So you see when Jesus speaks about peace the way he said is because you are an experience that your spouse will have. And let me tell you the one that
Speaker A
is not very kind cuz we like to blame people. There are weaknesses in your spouse because of the atmosphere that you are. Let me give you an example. Hope you know suspicion is a spirit and you can suspect your partner into weaknesses
Speaker A
because every time you accutely suspect and suspect and suspect you are releasing a certain negative energy for them to become and that's why trust is first donated before it is given. I give you an example. If you keep accusing your
Speaker A
partner whether rightly or wrongly accusing accusing accusing do you know you're doing you are taking away from them the incentive to do right because if my partner thinks I am like this anyway when the temptation comes the person who should help me
Speaker A
believe that I am better. That's why even in the doctrine of restoration when you are speaking to the one who has offended before you communicate grace to them. I know you. I know you may have failed me before, but there's a grace
Speaker A
that God has given you. I trust you. I know you will do better. What are you doing? You're strengthening them. So you are such an atmosphere that what you project they become.
Speaker A
So there are things your partner is struggling. Now you they project them. You are giving more energy. Oh yeah.
Speaker A
Become it. Become it. So you thought you were just nagging. No, you are conditioning. Conditioning. That's why you must speak with grace, pray with grace, and unleash them with life. Unleash them with life. And you know, part of how Satan tempts you to do
Speaker A
what I'm saying is he uses even things they have done before to put you in a place where you perfect the condition. So you're an atmosphere in the atmosphere of Jesus. Atmosphere of Jesus.
Speaker A
There's an atmosphere where nothing is impossible, no disease incurable. There's an [Music] atmosphere. There's an atmosphere when nothing is impossible. No disease.
Speaker A
When your children come in your presence, what spirit has access to them? Every parent in the house, listen to me. Everything you are complaining about your child, you expose them to some of them is actually a revelation of your condition. The only thing is
Speaker A
that you're no longer with the people who can tell you, but your children are showing you what your condition looks like. They manifesting anger all over the house. If God plays a video of how you have parented them, you realize that
Speaker A
you do not parent them with peace. You have threatened the hell out of them. Now they are threatening each other. You angry. Don't be angry. They are just repeating what you have done.
Speaker A
Sit down shoot. You have been shooting them. Why would they shoot each other? Your children will mark your script in front of your eyes. They will mark it. You will see manifestation. Where did this come from?
Speaker A
You know African fathers. When you do well, my son, when you do bad, your mother, talk to your son. Talk to your son.
Speaker A
Let me digress because of this. Write this down. Five stages of parenting. Like I told you yesterday, we did a whole month in our um couch conversations and run through this.
Speaker A
Number one, preconception before you even conceive. And that applies to every single year. Your condition is going to be the first introduction a child has when they are conceived.
Speaker A
So your improvement also serves your future. If you are better, you are already helping children that you have not conceived. That's why Abraham could pay tight for the children in his loins. You know why some of us have
Speaker A
struggled the things you have struggled? Your parents settled your struggle before you were conceived. So by the time your father was passing the seed, the seed he passed was corrupted.
Speaker A
So you came into Christ and the blood of Jesus they are needing pints of blood they are washing you washing you it looks like you're not washing is because before you were born you came as seed inside that seed
Speaker A
ah do you know how many women you visited your father before you met your mother you were inside him visiting women so when you find yourself trying to visit women. You don't know where it's coming from.
Speaker A
Iligant, you were used to going to plenty places. I know I'm causing proof a problem because he has many teachings to uncover these things. I don't have the depth to deal with it. Prof will solve your problem. You have been in many places.
Speaker A
So you're wondering the things I want to do, I can do. the things I don't want to do. I am doing chal why are you sending text message by 11 p.m. your [Music] father. I'm not saying it as excuse.
Speaker A
We're analyzing. So to the single in the house, you see and girls are very funny.
Speaker A
You go on Facebook, see one fine child, say my ovaries. Keep your ovaries aside.
Speaker A
Leave your ovaries. It's not about picture on social media. I know people their children's picture on social media are fine. When you come around them, their parent is disaster. They are shouting night and day. That was photo shoot. That's not
Speaker A
parenting. Then you go on social media. I once told Julia something not as a boast, as a target. I said, "God forbid the day our marriage is finer on social media than it is at home." Because that impresses the world.
Speaker A
What is going on here is what we're experiencing. Catch peace. My father and the Lord say something. He said the weakness of one generation is the cause of the next. So he say trap and deal with your weaknesses so that another generation
Speaker A
does not suffer too much. Cuz some of us here the reason why your journey appears slow is that you have not even started handling your own demons. You are still dealing the demons of your fathers. Your own personal demons are
Speaker A
waiting for you to attend to them. It's like a cue. You have not yet entered your turn. The problems your father got. For instance, a good man lives inheritance for his children's children.
Speaker A
You your father left you bills to pay. Your children will not even know his name because a problem he caused you. Even there [Music] some are you being blessed tonight? So I said number one preconception that means who I am is a parenting strategy for a
Speaker A
generation yet unborn. Number two from conception. Life doesn't begin at birth. Life on earth begins from conception.
Speaker A
Even death. Some people are just leaving their final faces. They actually dead. They will soon drop because life exists in the womb for 9 months before we receive on the earth.
Speaker A
Some people's matters have been solved. That's why you see when people are spiritual whether negatively or um in the in the faith, you realize that when they approaching that end, they begin to speak a certain way, leave instruction a
Speaker A
certain way. Why? They are just being given opportunity to wind down what is over. So birth is the same way. It starts from the unseen before it comes into the scene. Nobody is seeing except medical science of course now
Speaker A
interfering with it. I tell you a simple story. You see this peace matter is deep because the chaos around you is fueled by the chaos chaos in you. I tell you a simple story. When our son was born, they said John this after
Speaker A
a few days. So we're back in the hospital. So they put him under this fluorescent light and blindfold him. So that that's how they were dealing with the John this thing. So he'll be so cranky. I mean crying. So my wife just
Speaker A
mistakenly I would say played some songs on her phone and we now realize oh oh wait she played the playlist she always played when she was pregnant he will stop reacting even though he's blindfolded and under the light my guy participated in this
Speaker A
playlist for nine months. So once we cut it, once they blindfold him, put him under the light, we start playing the playlist and my guy is cool. That means he had found a safe place in those songs from the womb. Then
Speaker A
you're telling a believer to speak over babies that are not born and they looking at you like what are you saying? Personal story. So once you conceive, let the communication begin deeply.
Speaker A
Number three, from birth to five for some children up to seven. Birth to five or seven. This is a sponge face. And this is where Satan is currently running rampage all over the world. At this stage, children receive
Speaker A
everything as fact. No argument. So you put them in front of TV. They taking everything they receive as fact. No processing.
Speaker A
In the human sense, this is the most critical face. Most critical. Every information is just soaked. Soaked and soaked. You think the child can understand scripture, but you think can understand cartoon. Even science tells you that for the first two years of life, zero screen
Speaker A
time. No screen at all. But civilization is actually one of the greatest attack on the gospel.
Speaker A
So your work tells you to come back after 3 months. So you have to find a help whose spirit you don't trust.
Speaker A
A very terrible statistics were not ready to deal with. One in every two ladies you know have been abused one way or the other in their life and it comes from trusted people. Yes. If ladies open up on abuse
Speaker A
one in every two have been abused. For a dear woman of God was sharing her story, her story with us. He was in the generator house. The gardener of his father was having her repeatedly.
Speaker A
He just gives her a signal. She knows like a slave works there to the generator house. So the sponge face is the most critical to start that life. how we speak. You must believe that children that can't answer actually
Speaker A
heard you. They may not give an answer but you're conditioning. That's when to read the word to them. Share the word with them.
Speaker A
Behave like that professor in Nigeria recently. He was caught on camera. A student just came around the window and videoed him. He came to a class. For the time he said the class, no student was in class. He delivered the full lecture
Speaker A
because it was time for class. Wow. He stood there and delivered the full other students passing that were not part of the class videoed him and posted on social media. That's a good professor because the appointment is set. If
Speaker A
you're not in class, that's your business. So I can talk to that child and you see the African corruption in me showed that same 2015 we're returning from the US. It was a brief stay they had and all of that. So I went
Speaker A
back and we were coming together. It was a big coming together. I mean we had a little baby had many things. The conflict of marriage happened in my marriage. So we're five now. Family of three children and two
Speaker A
parents. Two bags each checked in bags. That's 10 bags. The car seat my wife bought in US.
Speaker A
She said that car seat must see Nigeria. my mind load load load load. She say it must Nigeria the baby trolley we don't have streets that can be pushing trolley like America she said that baby trolley it must
Speaker A
Nigeria the peace of God needed to take over I was boiling so this is 12 pieces of bags already each of us so that we can accommodate the load she had that mass in four months of being in the US had a
Speaker A
carry on that's 17 pieces So we left Washington. It was supposed to be through New York. Then the next day sleepover in New York, next day London, then London, Nigeria. That was the first time in my life that I was told that while
Speaker A
commuting I needed to pick all my bags. They say as long as it's flying within the US, the policy of you will pick your bag at destination does not apply. I'd never been to JFK in New York, John
Speaker A
Kennedy, Kennedy airport, whatever. I'd never been. I have also never tked in an airport for as long as we t. It was like a straight 30 minutes in one aisle with all these bags and pushing.
Speaker A
And since God decided to open her womb the way he did, three children 2011, 2013, 2015, three children on diapers. I was giving, she was collecting this girl stop collecting. No p. It's like if I greet my wife, she'll
Speaker A
get pregnant. I say hi. She'll get pregnant. Heavy parenting lesson is about to happen. Come with me. So we are checking. I'm pushing back. This one is running here. That one is going there.
Speaker A
That was the year we actually swore until you have sense. Nobody's traveling with you. I can't suffer. Nobody's traveling with you.
Speaker A
What suffering then? Oh god. Come have follow me very so that people online can see our son who supposed to be the eldest but foolishness is bound in the heart of the child you know foolishness is an installation have you ever bought an
Speaker A
Android phone and there apps you don't like you uninstall them tomorrow you see them back you don't know what brought it back that's how foolishness is in the heart of a child our first child first son of three
Speaker A
children. You should have more sense. Abby at a point he laid down say he's not going again. He did like this then he was doing snowman and this is America. It is it is Nigeria reset the brain will
Speaker A
reset but this is America. So I knelt beside him. Listen, listen. I said, "OJ, we need to go." I was begging African father begging a three-year-old me because I knew that if I touch him instead of going home I'll be going
Speaker A
to prison. [Music] The environment reset my brain. Nothing African came. OJ, we need to go. Then the boy say I should carry him with all this load and pushing in a trolley trekking about 30 minutes. I put him on my
Speaker A
shoulder. My wife is holding the his sister who is number two strapping the newborn. So he's on my shoulder and I'm pushing 17 bags.
Speaker A
Then we got to the exit. Which kind of shuttle do I book? All of this I'm weighing. I went to these guys who store bags in the airport. They gave me the bill. It didn't make sense. I now checked the
Speaker A
hotel. We're going to stay and realized they will have a free shuttle back but no shuttle to go. And the bill for shuttling all of this to the um hotel was less than storage in the airport.
Speaker A
That's how I shuttled our room. We were doing like this across bags. Okay. We thought we would do that rather we are scared because it was just a small room. The hotel now had a storage. We had discussed this that
Speaker A
where are we going to keep I mean what am I saying? Because a society was strong enough. It changed my perspective.
Speaker A
You must not parent like your parents parented you. You must allow Zion recondition you to peace. So that number three phase I said is the sponge face where they soak everything. Number four stage is the inquisitive stage. Some children start
Speaker A
at five, some six, some seven till you pretend inquisitive. This is where a child will ask you 30 questions in 5 seconds.
Speaker A
Daddy, daddy. In fact, sometimes you're driving with these children in a car and I'm like, Jesus, all three are trying to ask questions at the same time. Daddy, daddy daddy daddy, again, this is the stage that lays foundation for whether you can be
Speaker A
the mentor of your children in the future. Actually, the word mentor is proof of failure. Study where the word mentor came from. Mentor was a man whose friend went to war and did not have time to attend to his own son. So his father
Speaker A
came back from war and realized that his son acted like mentor. They make up plan for the absent father. So mentor was the one who covered for the failing or the absence of another. So you see when children
Speaker A
grow up like some of you if prophet didn't happen in your life you know your father finished you.
Speaker A
So God had to raise a system to cover a failure. The church is actually a makeup plan.
Speaker A
To make up for natural failures. If we get it right, our children will grow up to trust us. But you can't trust a system that didn't answer your critical questions. You can't. This is where parents I'm tired.
Speaker A
And some of you wives, you are the supporter of your husband to fail because when he comes and you give him food, you love the door. Don't you see daddy's tired? Daddy's not tired. Daddy come out. When you were having sex to give
Speaker A
birth to them, you shouting, "Oh my god, give it to me. Give the child to him.
Speaker A
[Applause] I am not saying this to boast. Some of the things we have chosen to do in our marriage is to cover this gap. We did a two-day trip to Kenya. You were with us.
Speaker A
In fact, he stayed behind at the time. He didn't even have any interest in life. No girlfriend, no wife. So, he wanted to talk. We got into Kenya Friday night, did the event Saturday afternoon, left Kenya Saturday night to catch Ariela's birthday on
Speaker A
Sunday. Wow. She's worth it. Her 10th birthday, straight into Abuja, straight to taking them out. She said she wanted swimming experience and this and that at the pool. And we went, we were tired like this was big round circle from west
Speaker A
to east Africa and back because a 10 year old I forgotten who but an American president cancelled a diplomatic meeting because his child was playing a sport in school and he was invited by the child.
Speaker A
The child walked up to him and requested the president to be at it and the president realized that diplomatic meetings will end. But you see this child is mine. If you don't make time at this stage, you will never transfer peace.
Speaker A
That's if you even have peace. And guess what? When children have questions, somebody must answer it.
Speaker A
If you are not the one, somebody will. This part of why besides the fact that we as available as we can be, we came up with what we call Sunday outings in my home. We are a traditional African
Speaker A
family. We don't eat out. to eat at home. But I insisted on Sunday. In fact, my wife was the first to resist it because it's more expensive than cooking at home. So I told her, I don't know what I'm doing. Number one, I wanted to
Speaker A
free her Sunday completely. That's number one. So it was a declaration of no pot on fire in this house on Sunday. Number two, I wanted a family bond. Number three, it created that atmosphere. See, don't let your girls grow up and they just take them to
Speaker A
one dinner and that's it. They're falling one dinner take. We are taking them every kind of place. Buffet, alakat, Chinese.
Speaker A
Eat it. It's just food. Is not a love [Applause] language. Food. Food. As I'm talking, I I know some of you, you are now realizing how they damage you because your parents walked around the house waiting for you to be happy so
Speaker A
that they'll be sad. Why are you happy? Why are you laughing? Why are you smiling? What is funny? I know some of you here, if not that you look like your mother, you came to the point you doubted, is this really
Speaker A
my mother? Don't visit it on your children. Answer their questions. So set time. It's just like my my son is doing one one animation thing right now. This guy is just 14 September. The first time he mentioned blender in the house. I thought it's a
Speaker A
blender in the kitchen. My son is doing blender at a level that I'm surprised. He's even asking me to change laptop now. Just bring economic body up and down. You give me a specific if you just meet my
Speaker A
son right now. So daddy be later say I'm confused. I don't know what you're talking about. You be using one technical language. I say so I handed him over to somebody in our church. I mean he is a top animator in in Africa said not
Speaker A
just Nigeria just he's guiding him teaching him balance how he went through school. He didn't study for that in school. You know I was hearing they're talking about him in church today for a program we have in church. First of all
Speaker A
somebody approached him recently to do a job. The person talking about him because one of the speakers at we have a conference called this generation. He said the figure he saw he was like what that's how you charge. He did not stop
Speaker A
there. He told the guy you are number 76 on the waiting list. 70 something. You think I don't want my son to prosper. He should do blender.
Speaker A
He should blend because this is mentor I'm talking about is this other person who was advertised before and talking about him.
Speaker A
Is it your number this on the list? Most people are today limited because their parents did not interact.
Speaker A
So they crushed every idea that came from you. They didn't have the peace of God. Make peace with this. Your children are going to know better than you and be faster than you because they can interact with that
Speaker A
generation ahead of you. The older you get, the more you struggle with the generation in which you find yourself because your children will begin to dictate that generation. So it is wisdom for the older to realize that they will not
Speaker A
always teach. That's why parenting moves from teaching to interaction. Let me tell you one of the error that has led to a lot of bad marriages from parenting. The parents don't want you to greet any boy but the
Speaker A
moment you are done with school they want you to bring husband. Where will I find a man when you didn't let me talk to a man?
Speaker A
Let me tell you how some people are lesbians today. Their parents didn't have enough peace to send them to a mixed school. So rather than teach them principles and boundary, they send them to where girls taught girls because they didn't parent from peace.
Speaker A
Is out of peace. I'll send a child to the school you go. Because you see all your fear is a bad strategy. Fear will lead you to more error than you can imagine.
Speaker A
There's a old folklore song in my place. Let me sing it and interpret. So, welcome to Egala land state of Nigeria.
Speaker A
[Music] I'm going to farm. My father sent a mead with me. I'm going to the river. My father sent me with me. The pregnancy I'm carrying only my father can explain.
Speaker A
guarded farm is following me that's river to fresh water is stomach or belly the pregnancy I carried as my father because only my father can explain this mystery so at this stage you lay the foundation for interaction he does three
Speaker A
Please write it down. Number one, the child feels listened to, which is one of the biggest gaps in parenting. Parents want to back instruction all the all their lives. The child feels listened to. Number two, you gauge the level of
Speaker A
the child's thinking. You can gauge it. Number three, you can guide the child. Mark the things I said. It's not that you are commanding the child. No, you are guiding. Because once a child begins to ask questions, it means they are
Speaker A
processing a pattern of thought. And these three things will land you somewhere. Trust or distrust. That's why when you get into the fourth phase, hey, parenting teenagers is hard. It's hard. It's hard.
Speaker A
It's a lie. Is that you didn't lay foundation because when they come into teenagehood and they begin to have opinion at that point, you realize that, let me tell you the truth. A lot of teenagers, that's what you realize. A
Speaker A
lot of teenagers are only economic empowerment away from discarding you. The reason they still come to your house is that you are paying school fees. Otherwise, the earlier faces has made you a completely useless person to them. But if you answer their questions
Speaker A
right, at this point, they'll bring their very idea and say, "Daddy, see what I'm thinking? You know why? you validated them before so they can trust you to be a person they can speak to my core department in church before
Speaker A
life is forcing me not to have the time I told them I'm resigned they said no I'm a special member is a teenage church we do what we call get to know you Sundays where teenagers fill some forms
Speaker A
anonymously the things we uncover that the teenagers can trust us and say some of their parents will faint and die if they hear it. Hope you know your children will deal with porn.
Speaker A
Hope you know you may hope you know your children. You may catch your children your own child with your righteousness masturbating and you have to sit and have conversation. A lot of Christian families are living in denial. There are
Speaker A
things you don't confess away. Write this now if you're writing on this matter. If you are not ready to have difficult conversations, you have a difficult life. End of story. You say, "My guy, come. Let's talk. What's going on in this
Speaker A
house? Can we talk? What are you facing?" People pass devices to their children not knowing that the devices of hell fashioned against the children and they cannot talk. You must sit and have genuine conversation. So the fourth phase is
Speaker A
when they coming into independence but they still under your roof. How can you be independently under my roof? That means I must move from a face of parenting where I try to control everything to letting loose of that
Speaker A
control. In the church where we had our first son before we moved to Abuja, my father and the Lord actually you dedicated a child with a king. So dedicate the child and dedicate the king.
Speaker A
And the explanation is simple. He said if you use this cane right, you will rarely use it. And if you use it right, at 12, you discard it. Cuz the wisdom in the church was at 12, the man Jesus
Speaker A
could sit with teachers of the law. That means you must have interacted with the child enough so that at 12, the cognitive ability of the child to have conversation is developed. But in Africa the time your your parents really
Speaker A
want to beat you is when you are 18 19 20 till today my father still say in front of my wife I can kneel you down say yes sir you can leave me down so I say I s I say you just don't see me you
Speaker A
are my father it sounds like joke but that's the mindset that's the mindset so we want to control and control and do you know that's why we as backward as we Let me help you. Me and Mag Zuker bag
Speaker A
were born the same year. Imagine all those billions in my hand. Because in Africa, in your political parties, the youth leader is 65. That means you that are 30, you are like an embryo. You are not born.
Speaker A
I know people like prophet they are too holy they don't want to go. How many of us know Lame Yamal? He's 17. He's already a global icon. The system did not say he must finish school even though during the
Speaker A
Euro he was reading for exam but you see that boy whether he goes to school he doesn't go to school.
Speaker A
But you see we have collected useless education that you are sitting with your child. You can see the potential of God you can guide. No you want him to finish grade six.
Speaker A
They end up in government office for security. Forgetting that I don't know Ghana anybody that is rich through government work in Nigeria is a thief. Government work is not designed for riches.
Speaker A
is not design is designed for service. If you are rich working my own work 15 years before [Applause] she where she got to her salary the value of it was just to f like her for the month and sometime with subsidy from the
Speaker A
family. So and that's the entire security a father wants to pass to his child finish school go to work make sure then you look for government go just enter somehow they start growing through the ranks so like exactly so limiting
Speaker A
mindset your children are going to come with ideas that sound crazy you must learn interaction then the final face is the legacy phase the Bible say train up a child the way he should go when he's old you not depart from
Speaker A
You don't control the outcome. You reap a harvest of the outcome. Why did I take this detour?
Speaker A
This parenting class was not part of my plan. But you see the peace. You must carry the peace into parenting because nobody will try you like children. You see this piece you think you have. Actually children have a goat
Speaker A
spirit that you must goat. You must deliver the goat. But see the problem. Most children have successfully made their parents older goats. So the goat stubborn spirit entered them. It came with them. Don't forget foolishness is bound is
Speaker A
installed. The parent that supposed to uninstall it is now a fellow foolish person. shouting up and down. Can't we just have some quiet?
Speaker A
Quiet. Can we just act normal? Sometimes if the thing is too much, please take a walk. Stop scattering the house. Just take a walk and pray in tong. Then when you are calm enough, come back. Because a lot of children are
Speaker A
not being parented. they actually parenting the parents because if a child can dictate how you act, you don't have enough peace. That's why there are two systems that will test the level of peace you carry in God in marriage, your spouse
Speaker A
and your children. A great man of God in America, the daughter brought home a shark in the name of husband. My wife used to give this story. That's why I selected that expression. My wife said they sent somebody to go and catch fish, brush
Speaker A
shark. So the guy walked in and he sees immediately that his daughter is with the wrong man. What the peace of God does is not to resist and fight. Do you know why some of you dated people you should not date? Your parents
Speaker A
resisted and you wanted to prove them wrong. So you stayed in the wrong system because the person who should reason with you was trying to control your adult choice and you wanted to show them I'm adult enough to make my decision.
Speaker A
Your parents ended up correct but you had made a mistake cuz there was not enough peace in the handling. That's why some of you were forced to study the course you studied because they wanted security in a system.
Speaker A
When we started having children, I told Julia, if any child wakes up in this house and said they want to go and read street sweeping, I will pay the school fees. When you are done and come out, we
Speaker A
will ask you where do you want to sweep? Because if I trained you well, you should be able to exercise your choice to choose what makes sense or what you want to pursue. And let me tell you part of why a good man lives
Speaker A
inheritance for his children's children. In God's order, no child should start life on the bottom. Every parent should be a setup for the next generation. If it's business you want to do, the capital is in my hand. My responsibility is to make sure
Speaker A
you are well trained to use the money I give you. Let me describe a scenario and you tell me if you like it or not. What if on your wedding day after the wedding ceremony your parents walk you to a
Speaker A
house whether you're male or female I say we trained you so I say we trained you so well we bought this house we never told this for you and your spouse the two cars parked there is yours we also save 20 million
Speaker A
in your name tomorrow morning or when you come back from honeymoon we'll take you to the bank and change the signatures how many of you like it that's what parenting is hallelujah not my I I know what I suffered I will not
Speaker A
raise you children. I don't need to suffer what you suffered. If your children suffer what you suffered, you have failed.
Speaker A
Because you suffered it so that they will not suffer it. You see why I told you that culture corrupted the peace mindset and we came to restore it. Because some of the things I'm saying sounds strange because the culture has already taught you the
Speaker A
opposite. No child should suffer what I suffered. If I trek, they should drive. If I drive, they should fly.
Speaker A
Children should be an upgrade of what we are. So the man walks in. Oh, but the peace of God was operating. He goes in, says nothing. She introduces him. She say, "Wow, amazing.
Speaker A
Congratulations." He was dying inside. Then he went back to his altar. Leave me at the altar with my father.
Speaker A
and he took the matter up with God because he knows that the heart of the king is in the hands of our Lord. He prayed. He prayed. He prayed. Lord, I raised this one. Well, this choice is poor. This choice is
Speaker A
poor. The lady broke the relationship. Came out explaining to him. He was acting normal but he knew he knew that he settled it somewhere else.
Speaker A
So you must parent by peace and the two key system will deal with you. It will question your peace. Your spouse and your children your spouse and your children. So the peace must be deep.
Speaker A
Let's get into some five points that I'll run through and stop. Okay, three things first before we get into the five points. Number one, peace is so central to the gospel of Jesus that is called the Prince of
Speaker A
Peace. Isaiah 9:6. That's how central it is to Jesus, our savior. Number two, peace is so central to the kingdom. God himself is called the God of peace.
Speaker A
Philippians chapter 4 7 and 9. Jesus is described as a priest of peace. God is described as the god of peace. That means if the peace system is not operating in our life, we're already missing God. Is a peace system. In fact,
Speaker A
one core proof that the Holy Spirit is functional in your life is the level of peace you operate in. And that's why Galatians 5:22 identifies peace as a fruit of the spirit.
Speaker A
So it's proof that the Holy Spirit is doing a work in you. It's proof that the Holy Spirit is doing a work in you. See go back uncomfortable with everywhere you are not peaceful because some people when they
Speaker A
show war has shown my name is actually implicative of that. I not like me and I used it wrongly sometime before I cut myself and told myself the truth. My full name is not just my full first name is
Speaker A
not that's just the short form is That ochi is just the summary. Let me now explain. Ooh, the strong one that they call for battle. If you come into a city and you can't find who to fight, go to the king and ask him
Speaker A
where is you have found somebody to fight you. So it was symbol symbol of strength and all of that was a strength for the Lord.
Speaker A
Hallelujah. So, I'm supposed to be But let me tell you how deep this piece is. How many of us know the song I see Jesus seated upon the throne to you is a song to the man who gave us that
Speaker A
lyric? It was peace operating while he was dying. How can they be stoning you to death and what you are seeing is glory? That means I have left the realm that you're operating. But we sang I see Jesus
Speaker A
seated on the throne in church then went home. Your small wife that is not even tall and is very small controlled your destiny just shook you like this. They began to manifest that you possess not [Applause] save. I was doing one counseling mama
Speaker A
even me I wanted to run out of my office. The man stood up. What? I I said Jesus.
Speaker A
God, help me. Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord. I separated fight to me. Have you ever received stress slap?
Speaker A
It's not straight bullet. They wanted to hit somebody there. Wow. That's how a couple came for counseling.
Speaker A
Have you ever seen a man and a wife? You wonder if the wife is the mother, the woman is big, guy is small, and the woman is tormented. Zero peace. Zero peace. So I looked at the name and say
Speaker A
me. Why was Moses described as the meakest man on the earth? because a god caught him. The god of heaven caught him and something shifted. And Moses is the best description of the psalm. I'm a man of peace, but when I speak there for war,
Speaker A
I'm not saying you have become weak against the enemy. But you are calm enough in the system for the enemy. I can rise as a lion, but when I come back to my house, I should be the lion.
Speaker A
So it's the enemy I fight, not my spouse. Be a walking Bible to your spouse. When they look at you, let the word of God come alive. And that means as a single, see your temperament notwithstanding in what
Speaker A
we are saying. And write this down. It will help you. Use the general to train for the specific. I'll explain. Use the general to train for the specific.
Speaker A
In essence, use your non-romantic relationships to improve yourself for your romantic relationships. You are not forgiving a colleague at work, you will kill a spouse because your colleague at work cannot do to you what a spouse will do to
Speaker A
you. Your colleague at work, you close and part your spouse will be annoying you and sleeping in the same bed with you and even fat for you in the night plus your hunger. Me I lie. I'll tell you this
Speaker A
one. One night I woke up and realized I had farted. It was so smelly. I covered my nose. But my innocent wife was sleeping and collecting it. Lord have mercy. Me I covered my own nose. So I was saying should I wake
Speaker A
her? If I cover her nose is strangulation. If I wake her I'll disturb her sleep. I say Lord cleanse her system.
Speaker A
Marriage will teach you things. Wait, you people are laughing at me like you don't fat.
Speaker A
Wow. Hope you know farting is healthy. Meanwhile, relationship is not deep but they start fighting for each other naked and not ashamed. I had one funny colleague. I I I don't understand that kind of civilization. We're somewhere. She felt
Speaker A
like farting. She just did like this pra. I said, "Excuse me." I say, "I was not trained like [Music] this." She just position. Excuse me. Excuse what? Praise God. Hallelujah. So the Holy Spirit will bet fruits of peace in
Speaker A
you. To experience God's peace in your life and in your marriage relationship, there are five layers of peace you must deal with.
Speaker A
Five. Number one, peace with God. Give me a scripture. Romans 5:1. You must be at peace with the Lord.
Speaker A
Therefore, since we have been made right, go back to New King James, please. Thank you. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. In essence, this peace is not based on my
Speaker A
history. Some of us are unsettled because we are letting the judgment of Satan remain. God is not far from us but we feel far from him because of the contemplations of our heart. And guess what? The secret of living right is to
Speaker A
realize that you have been made right. Because the incentive to sin is often rooted in a feeling that I'm a sinner. Sin consciousness. Peace with God is embracing our justification by faith.
Speaker A
So the scripture was not cracking a joke when it says if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Christ is a place, not just a person. If any man be in Christ, so the first peace you must
Speaker A
embrace and experience is peace with God. Oh, like Mama D said yesterday, when I realized that God is my father and he loves me. Jesus, you remember the song I taught you yesterday? If you are here, I have a
Speaker A
father almighty father. He is king of kings and lord of all. I have a father. I have peace with God. God is not after me. You know sometimes some bad things happen in your life and you say, "God,
Speaker A
God has been timing me." Do you know you are sinful enough from your past that God does not need to time you? You would have not even been born because the seed they donated to give birth to you was already
Speaker A
corrupt. So God is not after you not looking for you know let me give you another proof of it. I counseling somebody recently and the way she was going about it I realized that oh she didn't get the
Speaker A
point. The Bible say many are the afflictions of the righteous. So I told her you see the way you are behaving you think you are at is you are visiting yourself with things. I said okay that's okay no problem but what do
Speaker A
you say to the righteous that has many afflictions? I said don't you think what you should be focused on is the fact that the Bible say but God delivers him from them all. I said you are so focused
Speaker A
on what has happened that you think is your fault. Therefore, having been, it not say we will. Having been, do you know that's why when you come to Christ, you confess Christ, not your sin. Where do you start
Speaker A
from if you want to confess him? How many days would you take in church for you to finish?
Speaker A
Let me tell you how voluminous your sin is. It's like when the Bible said that if everything Jesus said and did was to be recorded, no book on earth That's how we confess Christ as Lord and Savior. Actually, only Christians should
Speaker A
confess sin. It's a sin for a sinner not to sin. So, his nature is sin. His product is sin. So, he can't start, he can't finish. But a believer who is righteous can say, "I did this which is wrong."
Speaker A
So, a believer can isolate and identify sin. I did this. I can count it. But a non-believer.
Speaker A
Though therefore haven't been justified by faith, we have peace with God. God is not angry at me. God is not angry at you. A woman was caught in the very act. The witnesses brought her. They trapped Jesus to a corner.
Speaker A
Moses say we should deal with this one. We should kill her. They wanted him to speak against Moses so that they can stone him too. Then like most preachers have said, I agree with them in Jesus name. He now
Speaker A
bend down was writing their names and their respective sins and dates. So he wrote Jehoshaphat 16 adultery this year alone with seven different women. Then was writing their names and the date. Then he lifted up his head. If any of you without
Speaker A
sin throw the first stone then one by one the Bible say from the elders. You know why he started with the elders their sins are more than because if you have been committing sin for 40 years you have committed more
Speaker A
than somebody has committed for 20 years. Read your Bible. He say from the eldest to the least one by one. Then Jesus turns to the woman Kai.
Speaker A
But Jesus disappointed me there. Kai Jesus is not off. Kai me and I say you know I forgive you but why?
Speaker A
Why? We listen and we judge. Jesus said this class, the entire curriculum in this class is go. Sin no more. Excuse me Jesus. This woman did adultery. She adulterated the system. Use some oil. Say you know but adultery is bad. Teach a new doctrine.
Speaker A
Jesus said go. Excuse me. So you are so focused on the future. You say past gone. That's why if you are dating a person that comes with shovel to dig the past, bury their relationship. When they feel it digging
Speaker A
the hole, put them inside and walk away. And you too, stop judging what God has forgotten. So you come into a girl's life or a man's life.
Speaker A
Do you know a lot of times the history you are looking for is what to hurt yourself?
Speaker A
You were not there when it happened. What's your problem? If the thing was not written on their forehead, why are you digging it out? That's how you see some relationship going on and until you hear something that happened 30 years ago.
Speaker A
Then your emotion is shifted. You don't have peace. The reason you are seated in this church is that God is a peaceful God.
Speaker A
If God just put a screen here now and start playing all our history, You know that's how we me you see I heard a preacher say something I say I know Gree or guy you are lying he said
Speaker A
even if there's no hell he'll be born again lie me they carry scare me I went to crusade they played one movie of people burning in hell they said if you want to give your life to Christ fire I saw fire I chose Jesus
Speaker A
It's now that we're inside understanding his love and all of that. The preacher was talking. I said, "Mr. Preacher, now no sinner has capacity to understand that level of love. Calm down." And meanwhile, that's part of why hell is
Speaker A
actually an act of God's mercy. You know, hell is an act of God's mercy. You must be merciful to show somebody a bad end to give them a chance not to choose it.
Speaker A
So people talk about hell. How can a good God create hell? No. He put it in place to tell you and people go to hell by choosing it in spite of God's warning. So you see simple test then we'll move to the
Speaker A
number two. If God has not carried your history and played on a screen in church, stop judging people that God has forgiven.
Speaker A
God actually hurts when his children judge people he has forgiven. He it hurts because you are invalidating the blood and the work the blood has done.
Speaker A
So one of the keys of choosing a life partner is to choose a person you can see as God sees. That's when you're operating from peace.
Speaker A
So therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus. So peace number one, you must experience this peace with God.
Speaker A
Number two, peace with yourself. Hebrews chapter 9:3-14. Give me the NLT if you have. Yeah, you have.
Speaker A
You gave me earlier. Thank you. Hebrews 9:13-14. Look at this. Under the old system, the blood of goats and booze and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people's bodies from ceremonial impurity. Watch this next verse. Just think how much more the
Speaker A
blood of Jesus will purify your consciences. Jesus is so deep. He didn't just take away sin. He can make you have zero guilt for what you did. The truth is when you embrace God's forgiveness to his deepest level, you wonder if you you
Speaker A
have become callous. You start wondering why you not feeling guilty about very very bad things you did. Is that he entered your conscience and remove even the guilty conscience. He did not just say you are forgiven. Is that you're
Speaker A
looking at the past why am I not feeling bad and not out of callousness to continue. It is that I left it believe God so that oh story story of Katherine Kuma after all the mistake she made and
Speaker A
somebody tried to talk about the past she said it didn't it doesn't exist it look like a Christian lie no it actually does not exist because he says he blot it out and anything God cannot remember actually does not exist
Speaker A
so I must have peace with myself and that's what I love what TD Jake said he said my history is not my destiny Let me tell you, some people are judging you based on being your neighbor seven years ago. That person that was their
Speaker A
neighbor does not exist. So if you see me and you call me by my former nickname, there's somebody here that nickname when you were really really bad was Trishi. You're here. It was Trishi.
Speaker A
And lately you have been struggling with an identity crisis based on your past. You're not Trisha. Sorry, not Trisha. Trisha, that's the word I say. That's not who you are. It was It was actually your nickname when you were there. That's not
Speaker A
who you are. Be at peace. Total peace. As I stand here, the only way I should see myself is how God sees me.
Speaker A
Justified. So anointed of a Lord. Before I came into Acra, angels arrived to prepare the ground.
Speaker A
God gave me that illustration one time. I was going to the airport. Then I was getting angry. What nonsense is this?
Speaker A
The president was going to travel. I was on the airport road. Soldiers every even if our president travels every day to that airport. He's taking off from the presidential wing. But soldiers will line the whole road. Police soldier,
Speaker A
police soldier. I mean from the villa through to the airport, clearing the place, security clearance, this and that. And in my offense, the Lord said to me, why are you offended at protocol?
Speaker A
When I observe the same protocol over your life, he say everywhere you go, angels line up in their droves before you arrive giving security clearance.
Speaker A
How can I be that important to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord, the one who made it all? Then I look down on myself.
Speaker A
I must make peace with myself. You would not suffer my foot to be moved. I carry your presence everywhere. Who am I? Your mind is so full of me. Mortal man, awesome God. Mortal man, awesome God.
Speaker A
So I must turn to me. That is why as a lady I can't hand over myself to a fool because he can be well built but a well built fool. The Bible say a fool says in his heart there's no God. I know
Speaker A
it's in the gym but his lack of acknowledgement of God just makes him a wellbuilt fool. There are rich fools everywhere. They have money but they don't have God.
Speaker A
Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God for by the power of the eternal spirit. Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our
Speaker A
sins. Christ took my sin now. What am I struggling with again? Why am I why am I regarding what God has blotted out? Even God is shocked when you are counting what he has deleted. And when God deletes sin, it
Speaker A
does not go to delete folder where you can restore it. So be at peace with yourself. Number three, peace with your spouse. This one he tells you to pursue it. That means this piece is always running away. This piece is always threatening
Speaker A
to run away. We'll do first Peter 3 1-6, then 8 to 11. This one I have to give context here. Now, here's the deal. every instruction to the ecclesia. The next is actually peace with the ecclesia. That's the body is the same instruction to your
Speaker A
spouse because your spouse is a member of the okay but let's let's do the direct one to the spouse then when we touch Elesia will merge both of them script the same scriptures apply in the same way you
Speaker A
wives must accept the authority of your husbands then even if some refuse to obey the good news do you see that is not performance-driven so his conduct does not determine your conduct because your conduct is determined by peace your
Speaker A
godly lives you speak to them without any words that means you are an atmosphere beyond what you Hey, they will be worn over. Continue. By observing your pure and reverent lives, that means the peace is oozing from you.
Speaker A
All right? Don't be concerned about your outward beauty or fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry or beautiful clothes.
Speaker A
Yeah. Uh you should clothe yourself instead with the beauty that comes from within. Your fading beauty of a gentle and a quiet spirit which is so precious to God. That's the piece he's talking about. Look at the next verse. All
Speaker A
right. Uh this is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. Look at the word made themselves. All right.
Speaker A
That means at this point I am taking what he has given me and creating something that can be perceived seen or touched. He said they trusted God and accepted the authority of their husband.
Speaker A
That means you cannot be submissive until your trust is in the Lord which is a state of peace. That means I am so clothed by the peace of God that honoring my man is not something they have to talk me
Speaker A
into. Because anytime we start trying to talk you into it, you have lost the peace of God. Submission is actually an act of worship. Ephesians tells you that this scripture tells you that that submitting to your husband according to the dictates of scripture
Speaker A
is actually reference to God. Next verse, verse six. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do. That
Speaker A
means my state is not determined by your state. 1 Corinthians 7 will teach you that even when you're married to an unbeliever, they admonish them that how will the children of that same marriage have light if you take away your light?
Speaker A
He said that's why the unbelieving husband is sanctified of the believing wife. See let me tell you the truth. You can complain about your spouse. Every complain about your spouse and indictment on your light. Because if the darkness in them supersedes the light in
Speaker A
you, your light is weak. That's what the Bible calls if the light that be in you be darkness, how great is your darkness?
Speaker A
Because there are certain lights that actually dark. Don't you have light that you can't read with? It is light but weak.
Speaker A
That's what 1 Corinthians 7 teaches. So everything I complain about my wife. Hope you know I'm a washing machine. Ephesians 5, washing out the washing of the water by the word. So does your washing machine spill back your clothes and shout dirty, dirty,
Speaker A
dirty. No, it washes. So some men are going around exposing how weak their washing is by complaining of their wives. Do you know my wife? Do you know you're not washing? That's why your wife is smelling.
Speaker A
You're not washing and you wash three ways. Write this down before continue. You wash three ways as a man. Number one, you wash in prayer. It is sad if we take a statistics. The last time married people pray for their spouses. You'll be
Speaker A
amazed. We have massive expectation, little intercession. Three ways. Number one, you wash in prayer. Number two, you wash by conversation. Conversation. Number three is the hardest one. You watch by listening. Some spouses are going awol and crazy because the person with them
Speaker A
never listens. He always just wants to talk. He's the only one that knows the way.
Speaker A
She's the only one that knows what to happen. Go just listen. Why? A lot of people you can only help them after you have heard them. If you don't hear them, you can't help them. That's why the Bible tells
Speaker A
you to listen more than you speak. It says be quick to listen and slow to speak. That means I must listen double the time I actually speak. I must process. You can't watch a woman and not listen to. Like I said yesterday, one of
Speaker A
the commonest thing women complain of in counseling is my husband does not see me. He's not listening. He's not identifying my pain. And let me quickly say this, Christian marriages don't fail by divorce. He fails by implosion. They
Speaker A
are together, but they are together in a useless thing. They just can't know. They don't know what to tell their pastor. The church doctrine does not allow them to divorce. So, they're just enduring. Some have actually moved to
Speaker A
separate rooms. Some are on the same in the same room. Ah, I was cancelled a couple three years plus no sex.
Speaker A
I was looking at them this thing that only fasting and period this is stop I have to ask some men somewhere I asked them except you are fasting did you not eat today they said yes I said how many time did you eat today you know
Speaker A
I I don't know how three is a square three square me because three is a triangle well this is not couples but let me say as much as I can say if you are normal if you are normal e if you are normal
Speaker A
If you are normal, even if you do it every day, it's normal. Don't you eat every day? The men are clapping because because for them it's like food food. But here's the deal. I can say this one. So I'll say this much. There's
Speaker A
a strategy for making the hunter become the haunted. Women don't have low libido. Their libido is suppressed by the pressure we put on them. So let me give you example. This council of elders let me give you [Applause]
Speaker A
example if you want liido to go higher declare one week. No, I'm talking to the two married them. They are just protocoling you now. Declare one week of no cooking your house. Make a budget. Special outings. The hunter will become the
Speaker A
hunter. Because sometimes the woman you are not done eating breakfast, she's already struggling to know what to cook in the afternoon. And she gave you rice yesterday. She doesn't want to repeat rice. And you think she has libido. She
Speaker A
cannot have libido. She's thinking of food. Then before she cooks the lunch the same you are telling her school is almost closing go and pick them she goes to pick them as she's returning you eating the lunch she cook she's thinking of
Speaker A
dinner then your clothes then your clothes are dirty you don't have washing machine and she's the washing machine libido will die then another thing that increases libido is bank alert if you send a woman money should be alert
Speaker A
send her money. Then when she calls, I say, "Baby, send me money." What's it for? Just enjoy it.
Speaker A
[Applause] All the men in the house, when last did your wife sit in the office? Thank God we in modern generation and got an order of a special lunch from somewhere. When last women need two key things, they want to enjoy the romance.
Speaker A
And number two, they want something that makes them proud publicly about their spouse. You see that launch as he arrives the office. First of all, even if nobody's afraid in the office, hey, my husband is good. Announcement. Hey,
Speaker A
my husband. My husband, my husband. What she doing? Sammy this week. Send more lunch. I know you'll be sending lunch.
Speaker A
Send more. Shake her. Send lunch. Send lunch. Shake something about her. So, let me give you a story. Hey.
Speaker A
Hey, hey, Prof. 2019, our 9th anniversary. Of course, because of our ministry, we have been traveling small.
Speaker A
But that time, she had never been to Dubai and everybody was going to Dubai.
Speaker A
Let me carry my head to Dubai. So, it was 9th anniversary. I didn't even know COVID was coming in 20. But I had this urge in my spirit to do something. But I didn't have the funds. You see let your lack of funds
Speaker A
not become your excuse. Even when you don't have funds, let it become the reason you are strategic. So I contacted a friend who was into travel and started what called PSS space from July anniversary is December. So then Nigerians didn't need
Speaker A
to apply for visa like now. They just messed up the system. So passports are with me. I sent him the data page. He gave me the cost. I started paying small small, you know, I spread it out. Of
Speaker A
course, the package was to make it a surprise. Let me tell you how far I went. You see this mar thing, the peace in you must produce strategy. Do you know she was still working federal government? I went through her direct
Speaker A
boss and got a leave pass for the dates. Okay. PSS a day to the anniversary. I mean for one month she kept guessing cuz I told her a major thing is coming. She will guess. She will guess.
Speaker A
Now let me let me ask you guys honestly. If your wife is guessing for an entire month, where will she carry the energy from to fight you? Something major is coming. Even if the spirit of anger used to dwell in her
Speaker A
notice, live my life. One whole month she guessed all the guesses. But she said all her visas are expired. So in fact the worst was when she told me I know what we have gone through this year but I took a
Speaker A
major decision the year before that scattered our lives. So I know what we going so it can't even be any travel at the point because I wanted to carry swimming trunk and know I say okay we're going to Lagos I'm taking you to a co
Speaker A
hotel you just have a good time I had to just lie that lie like Abraham you know just of course she knew it was a lie because she knew so a day to read I mean got family and friends my colleagues her
Speaker A
colleagues her parents our siblings and my son just I gave my son the paper how old was OJ then seven eight admitted to enter the UAE She was screaming. I said, "Don't shout. We are running late for the airport." They
Speaker A
shout and this bad guy here. Meanwhile, Sammy Sammy runs a company that does all of this. It's his company. Yeah. Sammy has been printing R& shirt for almost 10 years now. Everything we have used.
Speaker A
Yeah. All the branding. So, he's a brand expert. So, Sammy had printed us shirts nine years into forever, man. Now at the time I'm not advertising them. I'm just saying I had flown emirate at the time a few times
Speaker A
but her route had never taken her. I felt they had very good service and so fly Emirates straight straight to Dubai.
Speaker A
So that's how I dragged that straight to the airport. The bag she had packed for whatever she didn't know zipped up rush to the airport. Now the hostess came to us with flying economy like they were so moved how they s they say is it
Speaker A
honeymoon? I say honey what? I've been licking honey for nine years. Honey what? That's how we look to them. So I just told them it's anniversary we are going for. Hey they went to business class brought everything they offer business people to
Speaker A
us like yeah then they brought out. Now imagine all that is going through my wife at this time. Even if we were flying engine she'll be [Applause] okay. Do you understand? See her brain is busting. I didn't know they used to
Speaker A
have camera in the plane. They brought out a camera, snapped us, then printed it in the plane, then took it around the entire crew. We still have it at home to sign. There were 17 nationalities on the cruise. It was a big plane. Born
Speaker A
anniversary. This in different languages. Brought us wine. I say I don't drink alcohol. They removed that one. I mean, it was just back to back.
Speaker A
Then we landed Dubai. I say no more. Hunter became the haunted. [Applause] [Music] Libido unleashed.
Speaker A
What I say? We will go for breakfast. Come back. We will go for talk. Come back. We'll go out and walk and come back. Sorry baby. Sorry.
Speaker A
Somebody say libido libido is not a problem. is not a problem. The action the action that switches it on that switches on is the problem. is the problem. So dear husbands dear husband listen to us. We are stressed. We are
Speaker A
stressed. We are tired. We are tired. If you remove our stress remove we will give it to you.
Speaker A
[Applause] I need to round up. I beg you. Verse seven. Verse 7. Verse 7. Hey, in the same way you husbands must give honor to your wives.
Speaker A
Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. This is another curriculum I can't even enter. That means you must see marriage puts you in two schools.
Speaker A
Please write it down especially for the man. Two schools. Number one, the school of marriage itself to learn marriage as a as a general course. Number two, to be a lifelong student of your spouse.
Speaker A
Your spouse is changing and that's how you be changing semesters. She used to like fish, now it's chicken. No problem. We learned a new lesson. You must learn marriage generally and you must learn your spouse specifically and it's an unending
Speaker A
school. Anybody here who has been married only one year will know that the person you married is not the person you're living with.
Speaker A
Everything is changing. You must remain a student. That means aim to understand not to fight their dynamism. The reason there's a lot of fight is that we are fighting their dynamic change rather than understand it. The girl I married was never
Speaker A
pregnant. The one I am with has three children. She's been in the birth space three times. She's the girl I married did not have a child.
Speaker A
Now she has a teenager and two other children approaching their teen. She was not a parent. Now she's a parent. The girl I married did not marry a minister in this capacity. Yes, we were doing ministry in school. We came out married and just
Speaker A
doing normal law practice and serving our church until 2014 2015. The Lord began to hit us in this direction. It started like a joke. I wish I can boast that I saw a vision. God leured me use con and
Speaker A
put me inside this thing. Some people were disappointed at me the kind of ministry we did in school. Somebody told me to the face you with apostolic calling n I love you love me. Even me I felt embarrassed at this
Speaker A
calling when I started complete embarrassment. Hey meetings we did in school. What meetings was I doing in school? Worship word and wonders. You give hard word. Holy spirit fire people.
Speaker A
We finish some meeting. Somebody come and tell you. We had one meeting. One lady came and share testimony. We were doing the program. Holy Spirit trapped in one corner. It was encounter start to finish. I'm talking you love me. You
Speaker A
know five ways to date a man. I was embarrassed. How can you downgrade me like this? Then my wife wasn't it. My wife says perishing. Listen. My wife focus on church. She was not following me. He took Holy Spirit to go and come back
Speaker A
here. So he must remain the man Julia married is not a man standing here. So it's not every change that is bad. That means you must remain a student of the change in their life. They will change they will
Speaker A
adjust. They will take detours in life. Right? So do that according to understanding. Let's not focus on that curriculum. Let me wrap up this. She may be weaker than you are but she's equal.
Speaker A
She's your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you uh treat her as you should. So your prayers will not be hindered. Maybe prof will give clarity on this. I've read every translation I know. Prayer is
Speaker A
affected. Every I've tried every translation that I have seen. The only thing I've not done the Greek ethmology I don't know is rough. I don't maybe one day you deliver us because somebody sent me a trap once on
Speaker A
social media asked me that does it mean God will refuse to answer prayer because of a woman I say I don't know because somebody wants argument I don't have energy for argument so go away with your but every translation me
Speaker A
I've read prayer is involved and I want my prayer answered see I didn't come to this life to suffer to be honest I have suffered enough I want to enjoy Okay. So maybe please don't stop my prayer. All right. So I need to treat
Speaker A
her right. Jump to verse. Go to verse eight. Yeah. Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other.
Speaker A
Love each other as brothers and sisters. Cuz the highest love I will show this woman even in marriage is agape. Loving as a brother. Because you see, if you stop treating your spouse with that your special interest and you
Speaker A
treat them as the body of Christ, all your excuses vanish. That's why you see people show grace in church and not show grace at home. You know, it's easier said than done. Come and meet somebody. No, God will help you. God will this know Jesus
Speaker A
is involved. The sins are forgiven. Then you go home and you tell your spouse, "Your sins are not forgiven." All right? He said, "Be tenderhearted and keep a humble attitude." Read on next verse. Don't repay evil for evil. Is this not happening in
Speaker A
marriages? You have a justification for your response. Why? You're not in peace. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.
Speaker A
Next verse. Watch this. Watch verse 10. For the scripture says, If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Now watch this.
Speaker A
Mhm. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for what? Search for what? All of this is bringing you to this point. Don't just search for peace and do what? Walk to maintain it. My marriage is not just going to be
Speaker A
peaceful because I desire. I must work for the peace. Every problem that lands you in counseling was escalated. It's not the original problem that took you to counseling. Somebody did not have the capacity to work for peace. There are fires you can
Speaker A
quench by working for peace. You're a fire service person. The day you choose to marry, you must quench fires.
Speaker A
So your water tank must always be full. And what's the water? The word. So search for peace. Some translation say pursue peace and ensure it. This applies to the ecclesia. So I'll not take that specially. Final thing you must make
Speaker A
peace with is your legacy. And the way you make peace with your legacy is all I have said so far.
Speaker A
Because the number one strategy of parenting is a good marriage. People think per that's why I see people divorcing their spouse and say I'm doing it for my children is a lie. You have already confused them to start
Speaker A
with. So the number one strategy of parenting is a good marriage. So to make peace with your legacy is you must select what you can control. So that your legacy is a harvest of what you controlled. Make peace with your legacy.
Speaker A
Be rich. Oh, is one of the ways you make peace with your legacy. I said be rich. So when they prophesy over you, you better take it.
Speaker A
When they tell you to go and walk, you better go and walk. There are too many lazy Christians, that's why they are poor. It's not Satan. Even Satan has left them because Satan wants serious people.
Speaker A
Some people if Satan successfully take them out of the kingdom of God even to Satan they are useless because they don't even have the economic power to be influential. So God is managing them and Satan is not interested. It's like I was preaching
Speaker A
somewhere recently and I told them I believe sincerely prophet may correct me with his insight but me I believe that Satan has never been bothered about me.
Speaker A
Satan himself all his small demons can wait is he people like he has not finished solving their problem people like daddy go they not finish is me see some of you Satan doesn't even know your color do you understand so somebody's in
Speaker A
America blaming Satan Satan that does not know them it's small witches do you understand see them pastor me he's not done some people that when they speak 7 million persons are watching live. Satan has not finished them. It's your 2,000
Speaker A
followers on Facebook. So I believe that Satan has not my mother has not come to his table.
Speaker A
You know they to send they to send weekly reports I pursue peace. Stop blaming Satan. See your legacy. Your legacy. Let me give you one example. I saw a site recently.
Speaker A
I said, "Kai, I will not be poor." Some girls are facing mad temptations in life because a legacy was not set in place. That's why they went to look for a job and an idiot is telling them to
Speaker A
come and sleep before he gives them a job. But when there's a family company for a well-trained child, you are finishing school and you are sitting in a seat. See, let me tell you the truth.
Speaker A
You know, pro was saying some things when he was um leading us in the offering. You better consider these things seriously. The gospel of Jesus is protected by money.
Speaker A
These are statements that can be easily misqued. Let me tell you the truth. You see this word your influence but money can limit it. Money. Let me give you a scenario I give in Nigeria and I can apply now here
Speaker A
like this with a hunger in Africa. I'm not saying we use things. It's the power of God that works. But declare a charity center in this Accra.
Speaker A
If you want a 100,000 persons to gather casually, go and do corporate social responsibility. Casual as in they will come with joy, line up. A program for ATM people will line up on 5:30. The missionaries that brought the
Speaker A
gospel this way, we need to learn from them. They came with value and imputed the gospel into it. They came with schools and products then told us the gospel.
Speaker A
If you have plans to be poor, you are destroying your legacy. Yet you are destroying it. The Bible say the wisdom of the poor is despised. It's as simple as that. Is money we used to fly here. We do not work on
Speaker A
water. That's another dimension. or the Philips dimension now plane ticket and you don't walk to our you don't so when we talk about the issues of diligence and work we cannot h we must see it's a protection of
Speaker A
deleg so as you teach them see is the bible that said it a good man leaves inheritance for children's children until at least my grandchildren can stand on my honor. I have not done enough. They must be able to stand on my
Speaker A
own honor. And these are not issues of struggle. Name any of the big names in Africa. Let's not go outside the world.
Speaker A
Let's be honest. If you enter a TR tomorrow and you see Dangote's daughter, you'll be confused. Like how see and hope you know there are certain things you have criticized. You are wrong. It's your poverty that is talking.
Speaker A
How can somebody waste money on business? You don't have money. Somebody was talking and I gave this explanation. I said let's assume you have 500 million in your account like money with no pressure. Zero pressure like you have met all your obligation.
Speaker A
It's just your balance and a business class ticket is 3 million out of your 500 million just sitting. You see that criticism. See the more you touch money the more you apologize for your former stupidity. The things you used to
Speaker A
say how can somebody buy perfume for 100,000 souls are perishing. Don't worry souls have been perishing.
Speaker A
Souls were perishing when they broke bottle at the feet of Jesus and the wicked thief amongst them say we have sold it. You see some people will always point to the poor when they are the thief.
Speaker A
Jesus said the poor you see Jesus settled the issue of the poor being amongst us. He say the poor you all have with you. Let them break this bottle to make peace with your legacy.
Speaker A
you work for it. Let me tell you one truth because I know there has been a recent argument the body of Christ charge no charge blah blah. God is my witness. I will never go anywhere on top of a a
Speaker A
fee. God forbid even our ministry counseling what we advise is support the ministry because if we are not there you will knock off the roads. Do you understand what I'm saying? But here's the deal. Do you know ministry speaking
Speaker A
too? If you don't do the right thing, Satan will torment you with poverty. If I don't give full expression to my ministry so that the people who should give to it will give to it. It's not God's fault. And it's not
Speaker A
proof that you are faithful. So there's a labor you labor for rest. For example, you see there are places I go to. I I I hate places. Not hate. I struggle with places where you are so conscripted. You go to some place, you
Speaker A
put my face big, they give you 30 minutes. What are you talking about? I'm a teacher. But you see, there are places you go to. I just my wife. I said, you see, that's where your calling is tested. There are places you go to like
Speaker A
you exhaust yourself. Or you go to some places up front before they increase or decrease. First of all, they just let you do two hours first. You know, if you f your hand, it's your legacy you are destroying
Speaker A
because number one, the next time they will not think you have capacity. Yeah. You understand? So even if is oil you are carrying, there's a way you carry oil to secure your legacy.
Speaker A
See, so we are believing you know by the grace of God, God will take us around the world. Eh is are you worthy of going around the world?
Speaker A
Are you understand what I'm saying? Are you worthy of going around the world? And it's not to copy to be like anybody.
Speaker A
Be you as God made you. But bring that level of value because there's a legacy waiting to be secured. Not ah that one I beg. Okay.
Speaker A
No, there must be a value. So you see to make peace with your legacy, write these three key things that I close with this.
Speaker A
Number one, you must labor for the present as a seed for the future. Number one, you must labor for the present as a seed for the future.
Speaker A
See, there are sacrifices we make. Sir, one of my friend called me recently. He lives in the US. He asked me a question, very funny question. At the time, I'd made some serious personal moves that made me quite depleted cashwise. He
Speaker A
asked about me and the ministry. I said, "The ministry is doing better than me, but the things I did were sacrifices now for later. So I must work today and sow some seed. I will take even the ministry we are doing. There was a time
Speaker A
this R&M thank God is continually raising partners. We will spend spend landlord has threatened to pack me out of house in Abuja ministry was doing better than me including me partnering with the ministry including me as in there was a time we spend I used to
Speaker A
describe it this way. We busted our pocket and we're looking for money in our legs.
Speaker A
anything for it to stand the R and then you are meeting today blood entered it blood that's why sometime you see people see a minister and God is helping him they desiring the glory we have not even touched glory I'm telling you they
Speaker A
desiring the beautiful things you want to marry a pastor because looking well go and ask the wife how many forced fasting they had when there was no food and there was no food because they used the money for the
Speaker A
ministry apostle I I stayed in Benway when he describes some of his past stories, I know it. People do not know until just two or three years ago that he resigned from an oil company. All that work he was
Speaker A
doing for about how many years in Lagos, Aram slept in the office, solid oil company, real money when we're living in Motti. Maki, I mean just is more advanced than Maki in my view. Benu state but Aram was staying the west side
Speaker A
of Makodi called Wadata. I had been to the house because my classmate is married to one of his points men. So then they were not married. He used to come to town. So he came to town after we just left school and I drove him
Speaker A
around a bit as a friend. So when apostle say some of I know the story firsthand. They were living in a cocoon of robbers. He took prayer to protect them from the area he was living.
Speaker A
oil company because the work people hear of today he's he put blood his earning made it to be going on when there were no partners but today people look long stories when did what we call blow happen very recent all those years I've
Speaker A
never met a group of people that fast and pray like those people in fact living in Modi I couldn't be near I don't I didn't like them they look like married people night and day. Night would stop bread. An average remnant you meet is a
Speaker A
fasting machine. Somebody lay the foundation. Before they establish a center, they pray one year in that location. One year is still their culture foundation.
Speaker A
He was saying the other time, you can't ordain a person that doesn't pray minimum 10 hours casually.
Speaker A
So he's 10 year old. We pray with them casually 10 hours. Just casually 10 hours. I'm not saying it's a formula for everybody. Do you understand what I'm saying? But seed. So to make peace with your legacy, I said number one, you must
Speaker A
work today, secure tomorrow. Number two, you must be strategic. A lot of people are not strategic. We were just prophet Mama did the other time and we're just talking about videos online and all of that. My brothers, if I was confessing to
Speaker A
brother, I said, I'm putting your media people in trouble. Media people, we need more content of proof. We need more short videos. He didn't send me to Delhi. I'm telling you sir before real became a thing. I'm not
Speaker A
kidding because you have center before we started having proper physical media. We're doing events everywhere. Our headquarter on social media everywhere we are going to today in the world social media was behind it.
Speaker A
So I tell people the core work we do is not even as public as public work even our visit to Ghana fact where's dude there are two ladies we have not met they are Ghanaians in South Korea they have been so critical to
Speaker A
everything we have done in Ghana they took our classes one got married in January I was supposed to come a few things happen I couldn't make it going to be my first I have still not met them they stayed in our premarital class
Speaker A
since 2020 20. How can you be taking monthly prem class without a boyfriend? How one has gotten married in January?
Speaker A
There are two of them. How do you stay in a class for years as a single that supposed to prepare somebody for marriage without a relationship?
Speaker A
You see when we went online there are strategies that God will just give it he things a trip to UK US all of that has to do with people who sat in online classes until I came here this afternoon
Speaker A
somebody I do not know how he looks or she looks I can't remember if that name is male or female is buzzing me I've not even told Ja on Canada Canada the last question I answered before we stepped out here is
Speaker A
do you have other people in Canada which we have in the us as that question was asked my mind went voom through our school of marriage they're not Canadians or people in Canada our traveling ministry has moved by this thing I am
Speaker A
telling you like a joke I have been to places where it was status so back to my story before this a real short video we came up with an idea when status was still 30 seconds to do short
Speaker A
videos Because the value of a short video for example is that it can be on social media. It can be on somebody's ter. If I tell you how many invitation by the way this is not glorifying invitation but I'm a traveling minister.
Speaker A
I love invitation. Anybody that pretend to you is joking. And let me tell you invitation does two things for a traveling minister. Number one it gives you opportunity to minister. Number two it gives people opportunity to bless your life which you need. You know
Speaker A
Christians used to stand like they don't need money. We need money. If the honor is fat you are happy. Is it a lie?
Speaker A
You have a family. I did not charge but the money is good. Stus status update. So sh proof.
Speaker A
We have somebody right now in a contract. He releases 30 short videos to us per month. One a day. I have gotten our admin on another assignment. Admin is also producing videos. Admin is also producing. You must be strategical. See, let me tell
Speaker A
you the truth. I cannot die. You know why? Even if I sleep today, I have left materials on the earth. Hallelujah. You understand? From books to tea. Hope you know Jesus was strategic. Go and do the ethmology of
Speaker A
the selection of Jesus's apostles. You will understand. From tax collector to fisherman. Jesus strategy I just say it is well it's not well exactly exactly so it's extremely important to be strategic for your legacy hope you know one of the realms
Speaker A
of strategy for instance are the relationships you pick relationships you pick There are relationships you don't need. The relationships you need, you build them. You build them. Are you getting what I'm saying?
Speaker A
So that's the second dimension of securing your legacy. Number three, pour into the people that will dictate your future. Pour into the people that will dictate your future. And there are two categories of them. Your biological children and your
Speaker A
spiritual children. that the once said something. It was looked at like pride, but it's the truth. The man said there is no car he wants to drive on earth that he will not drive if he wants it. But he doesn't even need. He
Speaker A
said because his children all over the world, there's nothing they cannot afford. Nothing. Redeem is everywhere like sand. Like sand.
Speaker A
Sir, a popular minister in Nigeria. I was justing somebody that is close to his son-in-law. He gave his son-in-law a simple assignment to help him just manage his account. When they printed the statements and gave him, he sat two
Speaker A
hours, could not talk, could not write, could not move. two hours to start with.
Speaker A
Completely dumbfounded. Is it about 14 accounts he was looking at? None was less than nine figure.
Speaker A
None was less than 9 figure. You can't even trace who is sending money, who's not any money. He just bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. He poured into people. You see all this argument? Useless argument.
Speaker A
Some of you seated here and thank God you you know you have a genuine man of God not he didn't coach me to come and tell you something you will wake up and casually just by a plane say you know
Speaker A
your missions all over the world you know for your movement just and let me help you Acra people if you have a private car why are you arguing against a private jet because at your level you don't want
Speaker A
to enter public transport. You bought a private car. Somebody that at his level needs to move faster decided to buy a private. See, do you know Dr. Paul Dunamis? He literally meets up his Sunday service obligation. No matter
Speaker A
where he is, he think it happens by commercial flying. Go and criticize him all you want. But let me tell you about pointing to people. He finished a crusade somewhere in Nigeria. It was a Saturday night. They came out of the
Speaker A
crusade and three private jets were with him and the people were begging for him to enter please use my own. So he explained to them you I came with you let me bless this other person by entering this one. Then his drummers
Speaker A
key bodies ushers were the people that entered the tree to fly back to Abuja because Sunday morning they have service and he keeps his Sunday obligation anywhere he goes. Let me give you some further stories. that I know
Speaker A
personally same Dr. Paul by the way I don't attend dunamis this is the body of Christ so we can enjoy our stories the finished crusade in the UK the person talking to me is inside the battle of the talk so it's not
Speaker A
somebody came did not look like it you were there when we sharing this story we're talking to somebody in South Africa who gave us this is very close to how it happened somebody came not looking like it just normal t-shirt and
Speaker A
jeans and asked to see Dr. Paul In fact, the proto almost got it wrong. But they just took him to him. He asked daddy a simple question. What's the budget of the crusade that just finished?
Speaker A
It sounded like joke. The guy paid for it. Crusade has finished. It's been all paid for. He prayed for it cash.
Speaker A
Somebody's life has received and the person the legacy is secure that this assignment souls have been so touched that the same souls will come and be breaking bottles of oil. I was I was speaking to my brother that pastors for them in uh
Speaker A
Houston when I heard some figures it takes months. When you want to do a program in New York and you go to venue, empty venue, no sound, no anything and $250,000 per night and you doing three nights, you know that this kingdom is
Speaker A
serious. Well, guess what? That's where sons So you see the legacy we're talking about to make peace with your legacy to relax in the later part of life and see life deliver results that are godly. Every opportunity you have to
Speaker A
pour into the lives of people. As we were coming here, I got a message.
Speaker A
Somebody was so excited to tell me we ministered somewhere recently. It's a big ministry in Nigeria. Somebody came to testify today of a restored marriage after my teaching and blah and blah. I'm not saying I'm doing it for gain but
Speaker A
that's one life somewhere. Do you know where somebody is just here that's wow your dad changed my life. Oh your mother did this. Ah your every life you touch is a future secure both for the person and your legacy. FS, God
Speaker A
bless you. [Applause] Hallelujah. Were you blessed? Can we stretch our hands to the servant of God? Let's begin to bless him. Let's pray for him. Pray for his family, his three kids. Such such such profound words from the spirit.
Speaker A
Let's pray that the Lord himself will constantly expand their coast. Bless the works of their hands. Take them to heights they cannot explain. Just bless them. Open your mouth and pray for them. Pray for them. Pray for his wife, Pastor Julia.
Speaker A
She's also here. Pray for Minister Sam. Also pray for the entire relationship marriage team. Pray for them that God will carry them to unexplainable heights. That in every country they will enter into, they will be received. They will be received by the
Speaker A
nation. The nations will favor them. The nation will favor them. The nation, the soil of the nation will speak for them in the mighty name of Jesus. That very soon will enter nations and indigence of the nations will relate to their message. Governors
Speaker A
and rulers and mayors, ministers of nations will call for them because the nation would have received them in the name of Jesus. As God did for Peter, God will also do for Paul. And as God did for Paul, he's also doing for
Speaker A
Pastor Ooli. Pray for him that the glory of God will rest upon him specially. That God will make him a voice that cannot be denied.
Speaker A
that as they leave Ghana, God will bring a new expression to their ministry in the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Servant of God, I just saw a conference and a
Speaker A
conference I saw it's like relationship marriage conference, but I saw on the flyer was miracle babies. And I heard the Lord tell me, you are entering a new phase of your miraculous ministry. It's not just going to be miracles for
Speaker A
restored marriages. But I saw special conferences that had become very prolific, especially in 2026 for a lot of baby issues, people with baby issues, people without wombs were having children. People who were told they were past age childbearing age were beginning
Speaker A
to have their wombs restored. I saw God use you to give babies. I saw children they were in the thousands that were named after the two of you because they said we received our children through their ministry. Father we pray in the
Speaker A
mighty name of Jesus that increase the depth of anointing, increase the stretch of the grace upon their lives. May their voice become many waters. Days are coming it will travel beyond culture. It will enter different cultures. They will
Speaker A
be surprised that in days to come even Caucasian churches, even white churches will be inviting them. That we have gone beyond the African culture. We are now in Caucasian cultures, Asian cultures in the Philippines, even in Malaysia, in
Speaker A
countries worldwide. You will be called by the indigens of those nation. I see Australia open for you. I saw a call in Australia. I saw a call in Australia.
Speaker A
They said they must come here. They must come here. And I heard God said all expenses paid. You will be surprised. It will be so powerful. Their expenses will be paid for. You will even schedule your going when everything has already been
Speaker A
paid for. Father, give them men. Give them quality men. just 10 people who handle all their budget in the name of Jesus. We give you praise. We honor you for your goodness. Thank you for pastor Julia. Thank you for pastor Choli. Thank
Speaker A
you for their three children. Thank you for everyone around them. Those who are able to make it, those who are not able to make it. Lord, let them know they've been refreshed because they poured into your children. May they also experience
Speaker A
the blessing and the peace of their legacy. Your name be exalted even now and forever more in Jesus mighty name.

Speaker A
said Mary kept those words in her heart. Oh, Mary kept those words in her heart.
Speaker A
They told Mary, it says, "As your son is dying, your heart shall be thrust through by a sword." The Bible says she kept those words in her heart.
Speaker A
Everything they said about Jesus, she kept it in her heart. The Bible also said in the book of Luke chapter 8, Matthew chapter 13 that those who keep the word by and by are able to produce fruits after the order of God.
Speaker A
So many power things were said today. I don't believe that the body is lacking revelation but the body is lacking manifestation. What we've been taught we are not doing but you are saying to Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, may all these words
Speaker A
be kept in my heart. May I meditate on it day after day. Let this week be full of the revelation of the reality of this truth. So many truths. So many truths.

Thank you, Jesus. that I also hear. Every time the Lord visits us, he gives us a song. This is a song I heard the angels singing. It's like the angels were jubilating over the words that have come to
Speaker A
us. Your words give life. Your words give hope. Your words gives peace. Your words stabilizes us. We thank you that we have the privilege of hearing you.

Speaker A
you that babies have been born. We thank you that parents have adjusted their parenting style. We thank you that we are securing and holding on to the peace. You said to Moses, "Hold your peace and stand still and see my
