2:21

some, like you said, his

2:24

3:48

my to name we

3:50

pray. In.

3:53

Jesus my to name we

3:55

pray. Please.

3:58

Be seated on display Notes: This

4:00

morning I want to for very

4:03

few minutes. Sadness

4:09

and then speak of our lives on

4:11

the power of importation. Importation

4:15

is embedded deep spiritual

4:17

mystery that allows for

4:20

graces and allows for

4:22

possibilities to be transferred

4:24

from Korea's. To

4:28

those who desperately send

4:30

knowingly desire just. Is

4:34

one mystery that I've studied

4:36

myself. I

4:39

may reach beneficiary of this

4:41

mystery. I have seen Graces

4:43

Lease Korea's. To

4:46

those who desire them and send their

4:48

lives are radically. I

4:51

have seen the benefits of him petition.

4:54

House in the consequences of

4:57

ignoring importation. The

4:59

way God designed the system in this

5:02

kingdom is that no matter how you

5:04

that you are. No

5:06

matter how you that you

5:08

are there are dimensions of

5:10

Greece's that will not com

5:13

by digging the world yourself.

5:16

It is a revived that has been slowing

5:18

before you are either. And

5:21

your job is to be able

5:23

to find that direction of that

5:25

river and to plunge into it

5:28

with understanding. And those who have

5:30

sustained the wisdom to understand a

5:33

mystery of importation. Have

5:36

received or not Says Greece

5:38

is very ancient. Greece is

5:40

ancient mantles and with them

5:42

they have done much for

5:44

the kingdom. In

5:46

as much as God has helped us to know him

5:49

in a measure. The

5:51

possibilities that God has brought

5:53

by grace to day in

5:55

our lives is largely or

5:57

laxmi, a product of importation,

6:00

Same position is simply

6:02

defined as his spiritual

6:04

system by which gray

6:06

cease and possibilities are

6:09

trans fat. Is

6:11

Spiritual System. By

6:14

which Gray seats. And

6:17

possibilities. Are. Transferred.

6:21

The way the economy of the

6:23

kinda what is that when God

6:26

calls a man. God

6:28

cause men to himself. This is

6:31

how it works. When God calls

6:33

you, he cause you to himself

6:35

to know him to be with

6:38

him in the process of that

6:40

knowledge and that encounter a mandate

6:42

is derived from your encounter. Please

6:44

listen carefully. God does not call

6:47

you for the primary purpose of

6:49

giving you a mandate that is

6:51

already wrong. It is not consistent

6:53

with how he what he called

6:56

the disciples to be with him.

6:58

And then that he might send

7:01

them. So job growth on your

7:03

knowing God you're intimacy with God

7:05

is great. Got to God done

7:07

even your witness because it is

7:10

from the strength of your knowing

7:12

him that you become an effective

7:14

witness. I would

7:16

together this morning. It's important for us.

7:18

Understand is So here's how it works.

7:22

You'll. Get into a point

7:24

where God horus you time

7:26

he cause you to himself,

7:28

he cause you to know

7:31

him he cause you to

7:33

learn of him and then

7:36

eventually when you'll recall ocean

7:38

floor was seventeen he says

7:40

say onto octopus that. The

7:44

ministry that Dow has received even

7:46

the Lord not from the Lord.

7:49

is see that that's you fulfill

7:51

it so you'll receive in the

7:53

lord it he said the ravages

7:55

of your relationship whether you call

7:58

it an apostolic ministry whether you

8:00

quality a prophetic ministry, an evangelical

8:02

ministry, whether you call it a

8:04

marketplace ministry, it doesn't matter what

8:06

form and fashion it comes. The

8:10

most important thing is for you to understand

8:12

that the way God works is that when

8:14

He calls, please listen carefully, you have to

8:16

understand this, when He calls men,

8:19

He calls them

8:21

to Himself. Are we together?

8:23

Because like I

8:26

think it was passagery yesterday who spoke about

8:28

the roots, it is in His

8:30

presence that you are able to dig into

8:32

that depth in the Spirit. When

8:34

you know Him, the confidence that comes

8:37

from knowing Him is what keeps you

8:39

in the midst of the storm while you

8:41

go. Are we together now? But

8:43

then when He gives you the

8:45

mandate, He never

8:48

sends you with a message alone. He

8:51

never sends you with an assignment alone.

8:53

Are we together? Yes. At

8:56

the point where God is sending men,

8:59

He ensures that they have

9:01

access to the requisite power,

9:04

the requisite empowerment,

9:06

the requisite engracing

9:09

that will help them to fulfill

9:11

that assignment. Not even Jesus escaped

9:14

this pattern. Jesus

9:17

was not always

9:19

anointed. He was always

9:21

the Word, the Word incarnate. But

9:24

that anointing and that engracing only came

9:26

at the point of

9:28

His fulfilling His ministry. So the

9:30

Bible tells us that He was filled with

9:32

the Holy Spirit, Matthew chapter 4, driven

9:35

by the Spirit to the wilderness to

9:37

be tempted of the devil. And after

9:39

40 days of prayer with fasting, Satan

9:42

came and tempted him across various areas.

9:44

And the Bible now tells us that

9:46

when Satan departed, the angels came and

9:49

ministered to him. And one of the

9:51

synoptic accounts will say he returned in

9:53

the power of the Spirit. He

9:56

returned in the power, not just

9:58

full of the Spirit. He

10:00

returned in the power of the

10:02

Spirit. And from

10:05

that time hence, Jesus

10:07

began to manifest extraordinary

10:09

exploits. If he was healing,

10:11

he healed the sick, he raised the dead.

10:14

He spoke with such intelligence and

10:16

wisdom, and when, you know, all

10:19

of the scribes and the Pharisees brought

10:21

many occasions to just trap him down

10:23

by the wisdom of the Spirit, he

10:25

was able to navigate his path. Now

10:29

Jesus called the disciples using the

10:31

same model. He called them

10:34

to himself, some as fishermen, some

10:36

as financial people, and he

10:38

began to mentor them and to teach them. And

10:41

then a time came when he told

10:44

them, Tarii in Jerusalem, you

10:46

already have the message, but that is not

10:48

enough. He says,

10:50

until ye be endued with

10:52

power, endued with

10:55

power, endued with

10:57

power. Alleluia.

11:00

When he called Mary and told Mary,

11:02

the angel, now Gabriel, saying, this is

11:04

God's plan for you, you are highly

11:06

favored, you shall have a child, and

11:08

a man who will not, a mortal

11:10

man will not play any fatherly role,

11:13

yet you are going to be pregnant with child.

11:16

Mary said, how shall these things be seen that

11:18

I know not a man? And he said, the

11:20

Holy Ghost will come upon you, the

11:23

power of the Most High will overshadow you. You

11:25

see that now. That at every point in

11:28

the believer's journey, empowerment

11:30

and gracing will

11:33

always play an active role. So the

11:35

disciples signed the upper room after 40

11:38

days of a post

11:40

resurrection lecture by Jesus himself,

11:42

10 more days, and the Holy Ghost will

11:45

come upon them. The

11:47

Bible now says in Acts chapter 2 and verse 1,

11:49

it says, now when the

11:51

day of Pentecost was fully come, that

11:53

they were together gathered in one accord,

11:56

suddenly it says that... There

12:00

came a sound from heaven and it

12:02

came and filled the room where they

12:04

were sitting and they saw cloven tongues

12:07

like as a fire. It came and

12:09

rested upon every one of them. They

12:11

were filled with the Holy Ghost. They

12:13

began to speak with tongues, other tongues,

12:16

as the Spirit gave them utterance. Are

12:19

we together now? Please, let's rise to honor

12:21

our Father. Let's

12:50

thank Jesus. Thank you so much. Please be

12:52

seated. Are we together? So

12:55

I said that when God calls a people,

12:57

He calls you to Himself to know Him,

13:00

then He gives you a mandate.

13:02

But with that mandate at the

13:04

point of executing it, please

13:06

don't lose what you are saying. There

13:08

must be need for empowerment.

13:11

No empowered believer, no

13:13

matter how knowledgeable, can

13:16

be able to bear the purposes of God. In

13:19

addition to the knowledge of the

13:21

assignment, you will need empowerment. And

13:23

He told the disciples, Tarry ye

13:26

in Jerusalem until ye be empowered.

13:28

At chapter 2, the power

13:30

of God came upon them and

13:32

the harvest from that empowerment was 3,000

13:34

souls in one sermon. 3,000 souls. I

13:40

do not find anything spectacular, Peter said

13:42

on that day, that he had

13:45

not said before. But the

13:47

difference was that his speaking

13:49

was not just with the

13:51

excellency of speech, it was

13:53

now with the power of

13:55

God. Hallelujah. 3,000 souls

13:57

and the exploits of the saints continue.

13:59

continued from that point onward. Very,

14:02

very important. And

14:05

so it's important for believers

14:07

to value the place of

14:10

genuine, authentic spiritual empowerment. There

14:13

is no man who can birth

14:15

the purposes of the kingdom

14:18

without genuine, consistent empowerment. They

14:20

were filled with the Holy

14:23

Ghost in Acts chapter 2.

14:26

In Acts chapter 4, they prayed

14:28

and they were filled again and

14:31

the room shook. Hallelujah. So

14:33

when we're talking about flourishing and thriving,

14:36

it is important for you to know that

14:38

the role of empowerment cannot be

14:41

taken away from your life. And

14:43

this is not unique to ministry,

14:45

as you call it, a five-fold

14:48

ministry. It does not matter what

14:50

endeavor, whether

14:52

it is business, whether it is

14:54

career, the reason why you need

14:57

empowerment is because, number one, you

15:00

cannot birth the purposes of God

15:02

to His satisfaction in the strength

15:05

of the flesh. Please listen. No

15:07

matter how intelligent you are, no

15:09

matter how smart you are, when

15:11

God gives man mandates, He does

15:13

not leave them to guess how

15:16

to achieve it. There is a

15:18

standard, there is an uncompromising reference.

15:20

Are we together now? And

15:22

until you work His purposes

15:24

to His standard and satisfaction,

15:27

you are not accredited as

15:29

being faithful. This is the reason

15:31

why you need empowerment. If you

15:33

were left to just your creativity,

15:36

you might do so far. Men

15:38

are limited. The best and the

15:40

greatest without His assistance and help

15:42

is still limited. It's why the

15:44

Holy Spirit is called the Helper.

15:47

Are we together? The assignment of

15:49

help is, number one, to make things

15:51

possible and then to make things easy.

15:54

When you help a man, this is

15:56

the goal behind helping, to make things

15:59

possible. that would not

16:01

have been possible and to make things

16:03

easy. So the empowerment

16:05

of the spirit comes on this wise. Are

16:07

we still together? Yes. And

16:11

then the second reason why we need to be empowered

16:14

is that the Bible is not silent as

16:17

to the fact that we are not alone

16:19

upon this earth. That

16:21

there are demonical forces that

16:24

have woven the agenda of darkness

16:26

to the hearts of men and

16:28

to systems and structures with a

16:30

singular mandate to thwart the excelling

16:33

of the saints and the purposes

16:35

of the kingdom. You must have

16:37

this at the back of your mind. No

16:39

matter how advanced, how civilized,

16:42

how technological we are, it

16:44

will be foolish to ignore

16:46

the fact that there are

16:48

demon spirits and organized cada

16:50

intelligently articulated by Paul. Jesus

16:53

and Paul did not leave us in the dark

16:55

as to the fact that we are not alone.

16:58

That everyone who vows the vow of representing

17:00

the purposes of the kingdom, you have drawn

17:03

a line in the realm of the spirit

17:05

for the rest of your life. He

17:08

said, but say unto God, how

17:10

terrible are thou in your wings?

17:13

He says, through the greatness of

17:15

thy power shall thy enemies submit

17:17

themselves to you. It

17:20

takes more than a good heart to

17:22

bet the purposes of God and survive

17:24

while you are doing it. You are

17:26

thriving in a system that is determined

17:28

to be antichrist. Are

17:31

we together now? Yes. Without

17:33

empowerment, there are severe consequences

17:36

for being righteous. Severe

17:39

consequences. You stand

17:41

in the midst of a bedeviled world and you

17:43

want to represent the purposes of God. If

17:46

you are not, empowerment comes as a

17:48

defense to keep you on to maintain.

17:51

So you are in an office and you vow that

17:53

you will not bribe, and you

17:56

will not give or take bribe. If

17:58

you are not empowered to prosper, there will be... consequences

18:00

for that position. The consequence will

18:02

so my you you will be

18:05

a bad representation of God even

18:08

though you are righteous. Are we

18:10

together? Lord

18:12

was a righteous man but he did not have the

18:14

power to save his family. He

18:17

was about to lose the dignity and

18:19

integrity of his daughters even though he

18:21

was a righteous man. He took Abraham

18:24

by intercession and by the ministry of

18:26

angels to come and rescue him. History

18:29

would have had a bad record that Abraham

18:31

was I mean Lord was a bad father.

18:33

The problem was not his righteousness. The

18:36

problem was that he did not have the right

18:38

to set the level of empowerment. Are

18:43

we together? You need empowerment to

18:45

do business. There is the king of Tyre

18:47

that sits upon the economic system of the

18:50

earth and vets meticulously

18:52

who has access to the wealth

18:54

resources and if it is by

18:56

dignity and righteousness I tell you the system

18:59

will fight you. If it has not fought

19:01

you yes it is coming. It's fought Jesus.

19:03

It's a Satan come to me. Jesus

19:06

is fasting and praying and you would think

19:08

that fasting and prayer would drive Satan. What

19:10

it attracted Satan to him and

19:12

he was with him patiently till he

19:15

was done. The first person he saw

19:17

after fasting was Satan. There

19:22

are things that draw spirits to you. Listen let

19:24

me tell you this I'm doing a brief you

19:27

know and then I have to step back

19:29

for a father to come up. You see

19:31

there are spirits that are assigned to man

19:33

by reason of being on the earth whether

19:35

you are saved or not. There

19:37

are spirits assigned to believers by

19:40

reason of being grafted into

19:42

Christ. There are spirits assigned

19:45

to ministries and offices. They

19:48

are not assigned to you as an

19:50

individual. They don't know you as an

19:52

individual. They were mandated to stop the

19:54

program that flows to offices. There

19:57

are spirits assigned to mantles. That

20:00

is the reason why before you carry certain

20:02

mantos you must have the stature to defend

20:05

the attacks that come with that mantle. Are

20:08

we together now? There are many

20:10

prayers that don't seem to be answered. It's

20:12

a sign of God's mercy because you have

20:15

been weighed and if should that blessing rest

20:17

upon you? No. The

20:20

stamina to receive certain things many believers do

20:22

not have. That is

20:24

the reason why most times when you pray, you

20:27

see, God

20:30

will have to build capacity within you

20:32

before you are trusted with certain things.

20:36

Oh, I want to pass through a 5,000, 10,000 member church. All

20:40

I need to do is just to understand

20:42

the natural redumance of church growth. Every

20:45

man who is coming, God does not

20:47

send made men to men. He

20:50

sends men who need to be made. What's

20:53

the kinds of people who came to David

20:55

in the cave of Adulam? Men who were

20:57

in debt, men who were distressed. That is

20:59

the kind of members God sends to serious

21:01

people. And by the time

21:03

these people are coming with crosses and

21:06

coming with spirits and coming with yokes,

21:08

coming with heavies, some

21:10

of them, those same spirits have turned

21:12

their own destinies. And

21:15

you stand without stature and all you want

21:17

to see is increase in size. No. The

21:20

mercy of God will withhold you from entering that blessing.

21:26

Are we blessed? It

21:30

is true. I have

21:32

seen demons in the spirit. But

21:34

greater than that, the scripture tells us

21:36

that the whole world lies in wickedness,

21:38

not Nigeria alone. Run anywhere you can.

21:40

You will find them there. There

21:43

is an organized system. Demon spirits

21:45

have mobility. They have

21:47

the advantage of mobility. Do you hear

21:49

what I said? No visas needed. No

21:51

border checks needed. They

21:54

can move from swine to

21:56

men, from men to trees, from

21:58

trees to deserts. regions anywhere

22:01

at all can be a habitation for

22:03

them. Now you want to

22:06

be prepared for such a world. Are

22:08

we together? I told us

22:11

yesterday beyond the regiments of productivity

22:13

the Bible says it shall be

22:15

like a tree. When that tree

22:17

is planted and has its roots

22:19

spread, under normal circumstances

22:21

it should produce. How about

22:23

the tree in Mark 11? It

22:27

was planted to the root. Everything

22:29

was fine. It even had leaves

22:31

and although the Bible says it

22:33

was not a term of figs, Jesus

22:35

expected figs. Do you know why? Because

22:37

everything he took should obey him. The

22:40

same way the fish was not supposed to

22:42

bring out corn, but because Jesus gave him

22:44

a mandate, that means the presence of

22:46

Jesus should create and effect

22:48

that ordinary. It should alter the

22:50

natural cause of the way things

22:53

happen. So he

22:55

cost it for disobedience. Not

22:58

just for taking from the earth. Are you

23:00

saying my presence in the midst of this

23:02

place has no effect on you? When

23:04

he spoke to the fish, have you ever seen

23:06

a fish with corn from the day Jesus said

23:08

it? No, because it's

23:11

not the natural cause, but not when the

23:13

master speaks. He can turn anything

23:15

to anything. And if he speaks

23:17

to a tree, even if the tree were

23:19

not connected to a root, the fact... You

23:21

see, Jesus does not just come and work

23:23

with seasons. He has dominion

23:26

over seasons. There

23:30

is a law of times and seasons, but

23:33

when he comes, he has the

23:35

ability to manipulate any season and

23:37

make it work for you. So

23:41

empowerment. You're a businessman

23:43

here. You need empowerment. We

23:45

have agreed through the sessions before now

23:48

that the value of empowerment, and let me

23:51

say this, the value

23:53

of empowerment is when it comes

23:55

upon a transformed mind. You

23:58

see that. people

24:00

and the mistake we make many times

24:02

in the body of Christ is because

24:05

we have seen through experience through the

24:07

lives of great people that

24:09

when people are empowered they immediately

24:11

begin to walk in the realm

24:13

of exploits but what people do

24:15

not know is that the ratio

24:17

of empowerment to transformation based on

24:19

Jesus teaching model was three and

24:21

a half years to one day.

24:25

Are we together that it took three

24:27

and a half years of structured mentorship

24:29

to build a certain belief and understanding

24:32

in them then they were empowered one

24:34

night pursuing empowerment without

24:36

transformation will make you lose

24:39

the potency of what that

24:41

empowerment should bring. The

24:44

problem with the woman remember we

24:47

thought yesterday the woman who had

24:49

the oil the problem was not

24:51

the oil the oil could increase

24:53

to any size as the vessel

24:55

allowed and so

24:57

the prophet said borrow not if you

25:00

you don't need to borrow oil but

25:02

borrow vessels expand your capacity and the

25:04

Bible says when there was no more

25:06

vessel that the oil stayed. So

25:10

it is important you understand

25:13

the principles of leadership, branding,

25:15

productivity, administration and so on

25:17

and so forth and then

25:19

from the strength from that

25:21

vantage position in

25:24

spite of the fact that you have

25:26

understanding Proverbs chapter 3 from 5 to

25:28

7 it says in all your ways

25:30

acknowledge him trust in

25:32

the Lord with all your heart and

25:34

he says to lean not it acknowledges

25:36

the fact that you have understanding but

25:38

he says do not lean on your

25:40

understanding in other words let that not

25:42

be the basis of your confidence for

25:44

a sufficiency the Bible says it's of

25:46

Christ so empowerment

25:49

comes as an advantage to the believer

25:51

and let me tell you the truth

25:54

I have seen very gifted people I

25:56

have seen very skilled people I have

25:58

seen very great people the one One

26:01

thing missing in their life is that

26:03

they have not accessed genuine empowerment. In

26:06

my opinion, there are two principal

26:08

reasons why people do not receive

26:10

empowerment. One is ignorance, two is

26:13

pride. One

26:16

is ignorance, two is

26:18

pride. Hallelujah.

26:24

One more point and then we'll pray. So

26:29

it is God's desire that everyone accesses

26:32

the empowerment and the embracing

26:34

that will empower us to flourish but

26:36

more importantly, serve the purposes of the

26:38

kingdom with our lives. There

26:41

are three platforms for accessing

26:43

genuine spiritual power very

26:45

quickly. Three platforms. Number one, direct

26:48

encounters with the spirit of

26:50

power. The

26:53

saints can have direct encounters

26:55

with the spirit of power.

26:58

Mark chapter 3 and verse 8. It

27:02

says, surely I am full of

27:05

the spirit. Please give it to us, Micah 3 and

27:07

verse 8. Not

27:09

Malachi, Micah chapter 3 and verse 8.

27:15

Truly or surely I am full of

27:17

power by the spirit of the Lord.

27:20

I am full of power by the spirit

27:22

of the Lord. You

27:25

can have a direct encounter. The Bible

27:27

says God has not given us second

27:29

Timothy, that should be 1-7. God

27:32

has not given us the spirit of fear

27:34

but the spirit of love, the

27:36

spirit of power and the spirit of

27:38

a sound mind. There is a dimension

27:40

of the operation of the Holy Spirit

27:42

in the life of the saints where

27:45

He is revealed as the

27:47

spirit of power. The

27:51

spirit of power, capacity

27:53

to perform any divine

27:56

task to expectation, that's

27:59

power. to perform

28:02

any divine task to God's

28:04

expectation. It

28:06

would be unfair for God to have

28:08

such high expectation and not empower you.

28:11

As many as believed on him, he

28:13

gave them power. Number

28:17

two, I

28:21

wish I had time, I would have spoken

28:23

a lot more about the spirit of power, but I

28:25

have to back down so that I would allow our

28:27

Father come and speak and bless our

28:29

hearts. But let me say this, in

28:32

my little work with God, and

28:34

we're just starting this journey, I

28:37

can tell you the greatest

28:39

determinants to encounters with God

28:42

is not prayer and fasting. It is the

28:44

condition of your heart. The

28:46

condition of your heart detos your prayer

28:49

and fasting. You can pray and fast

28:51

beginning from a corrupted heart. Are

28:53

we together now? The Bible spoke

28:55

about a Messiah that he did that

28:58

which was right in the sight of

29:00

the Lord, but not with a perfect

29:02

heart. So the problem was not the

29:04

correctness of the activity, it was the

29:07

state, the motivation. The

29:09

greatest determinant for

29:12

genuine encounters is

29:14

the purity of a man's heart. Your

29:18

heart condition, prayer

29:20

and fasting and all the spiritual

29:22

activities are enhanced but

29:25

the foundation sincerely I tell you is

29:27

the state of your heart. No

29:33

wonder the Psalm is said, search my heart

29:35

and try my thoughts and if there is

29:37

any wicked way in me, it says to

29:39

lead me to the way everlasting. Are

29:42

we together? Number two, very

29:44

quickly, what is the second platform for

29:46

accessing power? The

29:48

power of God, genuine spiritual

29:50

empowerment is accessed through

29:53

the understanding of the word,

29:55

light from scripture, not the

29:57

verses of scripture, light. scripture.

30:01

Light from scripture. A thorough

30:03

understanding of the word. Habakkuk

30:07

chapter 3 from verse 3 and 4 amplified

30:09

very profound scripture. The Bible

30:12

says God came down from

30:14

Taman and the Holy One

30:17

from Mount Haran. Can you give it to us

30:19

media very quickly? Habakkuk

30:25

chapter 3, 3

30:27

and 4. We can see that

30:29

in amplified. Okay. It says God approaching

30:31

from Sinai. He comes from Taman or

30:33

Edom and the Holy One from Mount

30:36

Haran. And then let's go

30:38

to verse 4 very quickly. The Bible

30:40

says His brightness is like

30:42

the sunlight and He has

30:45

bright rays from His hand and there

30:48

in that sound like splendor is

30:50

the hiding place of His power.

30:53

The power of God hides in His light. Every

30:57

time His light comes to you behind that

30:59

light is the

31:01

empowerment of the Spirit. I've

31:04

shared with you a vision I had

31:06

many years ago where I saw a

31:08

very giant door and it was made

31:10

up of small like post office boxes

31:12

and they were scriptures inscribed on every

31:14

one of them. It was opening and

31:16

closing and every time it opened light

31:18

came out from it and I didn't

31:20

understand what I was seeing until the

31:22

Spirit of God ministered to me that

31:24

behind scripture the revelation

31:26

of scripture is not the verse you

31:29

are reading but the light that comes

31:31

out. So the Bible says Paul praying

31:33

in Ephesians 1 to have

31:35

the spirit of revelation in the

31:37

knowledge. So knowledge is like a

31:39

container. There is revelation

31:41

inside it. You see that

31:44

now? If you do not

31:46

open up you need knowledge to have

31:48

revelation but if it just stops as

31:50

revelation you do not have light. If

31:52

it is true light it lights every

31:54

man. That was the true light. There

31:56

are false lights. They carry a semblance

31:59

of power. but you bring them

32:01

in the face of real-life situations and they're

32:03

important. But he says that was the true

32:05

light and if it is light it

32:07

is for every man. Empowerment

32:12

by the word, empowerment

32:14

by light that comes from

32:17

Scripture Acts 2032. And

32:20

now brethren I commend you to

32:22

God and to the word of

32:24

his grace which is able to

32:26

build you up he says and

32:28

to give you an inheritance even

32:30

among them that are sanctified. Ephesians

32:32

4 18 having their

32:34

understanding darkened, being alienated from the

32:36

life of God through the ignorance

32:38

that is in them because of

32:41

the blindness of their hearts. Hallelujah,

32:48

light. You

32:50

stay with the word, you study

32:53

the word, you allow the illuminating

32:55

power of the word to search

32:57

through your spirit and out

32:59

of that the residue of the word

33:01

genuine power authority. Your mind has been

33:04

altered to think in a certain way,

33:06

the way of victory, the way of

33:08

excellence. The Lord is my light and

33:11

my salvation. Are we together now? That

33:13

when men say there is a casting

33:15

down in the name of Jesus for

33:18

you there is a lifting up. This

33:20

is not not mere blind confession. Meditation

33:22

has opened the light component of that scripture

33:24

and it is resident in your spirit. I

33:27

tell you show me a man that respects

33:29

light. I show you a man the devil

33:31

cannot do anything about. It's only a matter

33:33

of time. John

33:37

1 5 and the light shine net

33:39

in the darkness and the darkness

33:41

comprehended it not. The

33:44

last platform for accessing

33:46

genuine empowerment is

33:50

called impartation, power

33:53

that is accessed through

33:56

alignment with anointed

33:58

vessels. power that

34:00

is accessed. Now please listen as I

34:02

wrap up. Power that

34:05

is accessed through your

34:07

alignment with

34:09

anointed vessels. In

34:17

Philippians chapter 1 and verse 7 Paul was

34:19

speaking to the church in Philippi and

34:22

he wraps up that statement by

34:24

saying ye all are partakers of

34:26

my grace. Partakers of

34:29

my grace. A man

34:31

can be a partaker of

34:33

the grace of another person and

34:36

the way God does it is this.

34:38

When God wants the people to experience

34:40

a dimension of his empowerment he does

34:42

not start with a crowd. No.

34:45

He starts with a man. When

34:47

he finds that man he enters

34:50

a covenant with that man. That

34:52

covenant becomes a platform for transmuting

34:54

that dimension of power or that

34:56

possibility. Not everything but the dimensions

34:58

he seeks to flow to the

35:00

nations and when

35:02

God accredits that man nobody

35:05

will access that dimension of power

35:07

ignoring the presence of that covenant.

35:09

This is how God works. So when he

35:12

says the word to Jacob the intent is

35:14

that it is lighted upon all Israel. Jacob

35:17

only becomes a starting point of that

35:19

journey. So he calls Abraham but the

35:22

intention is the entire globe. Are we

35:24

together? You ignore Abraham you will not

35:26

even reach Jesus. He

35:30

spoke to Abraham and said in thee

35:32

shall all the families of the earth

35:34

be blessed and Paul taught us that

35:36

that blessing was to Abraham and he

35:38

saved. The seed not been Isaac.

35:41

Isaac would not replicate it to all

35:43

of us. The seed Christ then Galatians

35:45

3 29 says and if he be

35:48

Christ then are you

35:50

Abraham's seed and heir according

35:52

to the promise. So when God

35:54

finds a man a conduit

35:58

to transmit his prosperity a

36:00

conduit to transmit his healing. He enters

36:03

a covenant with that man. That man

36:05

becomes his referral point across that dispensation.

36:07

No matter how arrogant you are, you

36:09

ignore the presence of that man. You

36:12

pray out fast and there are certain

36:14

dimensions of that grace you will never

36:16

touch. It is his economy. That is

36:19

how it works. There

36:22

are men on earth today that embody

36:24

certain possibilities of the kingdom. When God

36:26

wants to show you mercy, he does

36:28

not just give you direct encounters. He

36:31

shortens the distance between you and

36:33

access to them. Hallelujah.

36:39

There are men today that embody the spirit

36:41

of prayer. There are men

36:43

today that embody the spirit of

36:45

wisdom. There are men today that

36:47

embody prosperity. There are men today

36:50

that embody leadership. Your assignment is

36:52

to have the wisdom, the discernment

36:54

and the humility to not

36:56

just look at them in the flesh but to

36:58

see them for what they represent. Elijah

37:01

had many sons of the prophets. You

37:03

would think the next prophet would come

37:05

from them, but the next prophet came

37:07

from a man called Elijah. That leads

37:09

me to the condition for receiving from

37:11

anointed vessels, honor and

37:14

service. Genuine, nonpretentious

37:16

honor and service.

37:21

Genuine, nonpretentious honor

37:23

and service. There are many dimensions

37:26

in Jesus. We only see in

37:28

John, not even the apostles carried

37:30

it. Nonpretentious

37:34

honor and service.

37:36

The man who poured water in

37:38

the hands of Elijah. Not

37:42

the man who joined him to prophesy. There

37:45

were sons of the prophet. Their

37:47

prophetic acumen was being trained

37:50

and they knew that he was going, but

37:52

he did not profit them. But

37:54

there was a man who followed. Let

37:56

me tell you something, there is some gentleman. I'm

37:59

saying this because. I know that we step back

38:01

and from all the speakers that have come Culminating

38:04

with our father here were privileged to have

38:07

is important. There's something the body of Christ

38:09

is missing you see Your

38:11

direct access to God does

38:14

not negate the system. He has

38:16

built You

38:19

ignore it you will pay for it it

38:21

was you will pay for it in

38:23

ministry in business whatever it is Paul

38:27

met Jesus But he

38:29

was still referred to the house of Judah to wait there

38:32

It was not Jesus that got him filled with the Holy Spirit Even

38:35

though Jesus said the Holy Spirit to come in honor

38:37

to him you see It

38:43

was in David's destiny to be king

38:46

God had already given the judgment

38:49

But Samuel was negotiating with God

38:52

and he was wasting David's time a

38:54

man Not Satan not his spirit to

38:56

the point you would think God who

38:58

ignores somewhere and say I am God

39:00

Let me go directly. He kept pleading

39:02

with someone and say how long Are

39:06

we together now? Yes How

39:08

long will you you have rejected

39:10

solace King how you are dealing

39:13

another person's destiny? One

39:15

man and God did not bypass

39:17

him to say I am God God came

39:19

to him and said I know I know how

39:22

Emotionally connected you are to solve what the

39:24

point is I've rejected When

39:30

someone came do you know

39:32

why God had to ask someone to stop because if

39:34

you had a knotted alien he would be king Do

39:39

men have such power A

39:48

man can look at you and say in the name of

39:50

Jesus Bless you it

39:52

may not make sense and sometimes

39:55

with all due respect this our arrogant

39:57

generation. We do not understand the power

40:00

of prophetic blessings. Man's life

40:02

has been made overnight because

40:04

of the kinds of words. Let

40:06

me tell you, when you find people who

40:08

are anointed, bend over backwards if you can

40:11

without humility. Allow naysayers and

40:13

foolish people who do not allow,

40:15

they can't understand the economy to

40:17

say what they are saying. But

40:19

God's system will never change. You

40:21

can respect yourself or you cannot

40:23

honor yourself. Honor is conferred by

40:25

one greater than you. This is

40:27

how it works. No

40:31

man can honor himself. You can respect yourself.

40:33

But honor is conferred. Thou

40:36

shalt take some of thy honor and

40:39

thou shalt put upon him so that the

40:41

nation of Israel will listen to him. It

40:44

takes more than eloquence, takes more than a sincere

40:46

heart. We are going

40:48

to pray. Since our Father is here, I

40:51

don't qualify to do any speaking over your

40:53

life again. So mine is to prepare the

40:55

way and then I step back and allow

40:57

him to speak. You

40:59

may think I'm just being humble, but that's how it

41:01

works in the spirit. If you're

41:08

a man of God here, learn it. It

41:11

doesn't reduce you. That's how it works. Are

41:14

we together? Yes. It will

41:16

be unwise for me to be making

41:18

prophetic declarations over you as

41:21

an impartation with our Father here. I

41:23

know our arrogant generation, we've all seen

41:25

Jesus, but that's not how it works.

41:28

There is a spiritual system. Hallelujah.

41:41

And so Reverend Sam, we thank you for

41:43

your life. I have to say this. We

41:45

thank you. Today is your birthday and

41:48

thank you for what you

41:52

represent to the body of Christ and your

41:54

contribution. Thank you, ma. Thank

41:58

you for everything. the

42:00

transforming church, my prayer for

42:02

you is that this salmon

42:04

would not be a waste. That

42:07

for every declaration that will come upon

42:09

your life, that you open up your

42:11

heart. If you are a servant of

42:13

God here, if you are

42:16

a businessman here, if you

42:18

are a carrier person here, or

42:20

you are in any pit at all trusting God to

42:22

come out, or you

42:25

are trusting God to scale heights, maybe you are

42:27

in debt, you see, men

42:30

embody possibilities. And when

42:32

they bring those possibilities, you

42:35

honor God and you honor

42:37

the sacrifice of alignment that has

42:39

made them to be conduit and hosts

42:42

of those graces. May

42:44

the Lord bless you, may the Lord honor you,

42:46

and may you receive all that He has in

42:48

store for you, in Jesus' name.
