How To Cultivate Your Relationship With The Holy Spirit | Kingsley Okonkwo

Brief Summary

This sermon focuses on the importance of understanding and cultivating a relationship with the Holy Spirit, alongside recognising the grace of Jesus Christ and the love of God. It highlights that while many Christians focus on God the Father and Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the active force on Earth today, guiding believers and revealing God's will. The key takeaways include:

  • Understanding the distinct roles of the Trinity: Grace of Jesus, Love of God, and Communion of the Holy Spirit.
  • Recognising the Holy Spirit as the active CEO in your life, guiding you to what is freely given.
  • Cultivating a personal relationship (communion) with the Holy Spirit through consciousness, communication, and obedience.

Introduction: The Importance of Final Words

The speaker opens by emphasising the significance of final words, drawing examples from various cultural references to illustrate their importance. He then directs the audience to 2 Corinthians 13, focusing on Paul's closing remarks to the Corinthian church. Paul's final words encapsulate essential elements: farewell, completeness, comfort, unity, and peace. These words serve as a summary of the core message Paul wanted to leave with the Corinthians.

The Grace of Jesus Christ: Our Qualification

The speaker explains that the grace of Jesus Christ is what qualifies believers and changes their position. This grace is a result of Jesus taking our place, and understanding this should prevent Christians from holding others ransom for their faults. The speaker stresses that no one qualifies for what they have without grace, and appreciating mercy requires giving mercy. Understanding this grace changes one's position, allowing them to walk with God.

The Love of God: The Prominent Attribute

The speaker shifts focus to the love of God, asserting that it is more prominent than His power. While many are obsessed with God's power, the Bible identifies God as love. Love is more important because someone can be powerful without caring, but someone who loves will use their power for you. Shifting consciousness to God's love provides access to His power, changing prayer from negotiation to alignment with God's will. The speaker shares personal experiences to illustrate trusting in God's love and plan.

The Communion of the Holy Spirit: The Active Force

The speaker identifies the Holy Spirit as the active member of the Trinity on Earth, contrasting this with God the Father and Jesus, who are seated. He emphasises that many Christians neglect their relationship with the Holy Spirit, who is the "CEO" or "chief operating officer" in charge of revealing what God has prepared for believers. The Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God, acting as a protocol officer guiding believers to their inheritance.

The Holy Spirit and Inspired Scripture

The speaker addresses the concept of old versus new testaments, stating that all scripture is inspired by God. The Holy Spirit removes the veil from scripture, making it personally relevant (rhema) rather than just general knowledge (logos). He shares a story about his wife receiving personal guidance from scripture, highlighting the importance of individual communion with the Holy Spirit.

The Sensitivity and Importance of the Holy Spirit

The speaker stresses the Holy Spirit's sensitivity, warning against grieving or quenching the Spirit. Unlike God and Jesus, the Holy Spirit does not tolerate nonsense and can be easily offended. He shares examples from the Bible, such as Ananias and Sapphira, to illustrate the consequences of lying to the Holy Spirit. The speaker reiterates that communion with the Holy Spirit is essential and cannot be faked.

Cultivating Communion with the Holy Spirit

The speaker provides seven practical ways to cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit:

  1. Develop the consciousness of the Holy Spirit: Recognise His presence.
  2. Talk to Him: Communicate regularly.
  3. Listen to Him: Be quiet and attentive to His instructions.
  4. Yield to the Spirit: Obey His promptings.
  5. Don't Grieve the Holy Spirit: Avoid disobedience and negative attitudes.
  6. Create the Atmosphere: Engage in worship and fasting.
  7. Pray in the Spirit: Use tongues to sharpen your spiritual awareness.

Personal Testimonies and the Holy Spirit's Guidance

The speaker shares personal stories to illustrate the Holy Spirit's guidance in various areas of life, including marriage, business, and ministry. He recounts instances where the Holy Spirit provided specific instructions, such as advising him on what to say to his wife or guiding him to start a television ministry. These stories emphasise the practical benefits of cultivating a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit and Personal Destiny

The speaker encourages listeners to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in discovering their personal destiny. He shares how the Holy Spirit revealed scripture to him, leading him to television ministry. He also shares a story about connecting with someone who was already successful in that area, and how that helped him. He also shares a story about his wife's health issues and how the Holy Spirit reminded him of God's unchanging nature, reinforcing his faith.

Final Encouragement and Prayer

The speaker concludes by encouraging the audience to rise to their feet and spend a minute talking to the Holy Spirit. He urges them to acknowledge the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance in their lives, and to pray in the Holy Ghost.

0:00 i'm just going to start as i'm led today let's go to second corinthians chapter 13. um all of us know that final words of anybody um is always they are always very important to anybody that gives final words like if you're a top person here somewhere where you walk or you run a business if you're traveling you know you call your car team together you're going to get a final words am i correct before your trip you know if if those of us that have watched i used to watch kung fu films when we're young when the big boss wants to die it also gives final words if you have watched home video too if peter deutsche wants to die in the movie he gives final words so final words are always very very important and let's see paul's final words here

0:46 to the corinthian church second corinthians chapter 13 from verse 11. um i'll like my scriptures on the screen because i work with dj i call the guys a prescription from media all right it says finally bretton so this shows this this is like final words he said finally brethren say farewell he said become complete be of good comfort be of one mind live in peace you will send them things that look man this is my final words to you these are the important things be be complete be good will comfort be of one mind live in peace and the god of love and peace will be with you next verse it's a greet one another with a holy kiss next verse it says all the saints greet you next

1:33 verse and it says the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit be with you all amen can we all say that together i want to go i want i want some more energy let's go one more time go all right now i know today most churches use this as their closing remark or closing prayer but um every time i stumble on that scripture or hear it i understand that paul was summarizing

2:19 the power of everything he knew and everything he had been telling them into that sentence and if there's anything missing or you're trusting god for they are usually all captured in these three things it says the grace of our lord jesus christ that is the trinity and he was trying to tell you or tell us what is prominent um amongst those three people or the three personalities there it says for jesus it is the grace of our lord jesus most times when you hear about grace it's about the grace of jesus there are not a lot of times you see the grace of god and even when you see the grace of god they will link it in in one or two verses after to christ

3:04 you will hear the grace of jesus now this is important because you need to understand that the grace we enjoy is the grace of jesus it is jesus that actually took our place somebody getting what i'm saying it is the work he did that gave birth to the grace that's why they call it they usually call it the grace of our lord jesus that grace is i know you understand substitution and we're talking about the mercy of god that grace is what qualifies us the moment you understand the grace you will never hold another christian ransom any day of your life the reason why we still hold people ransom is that we think we're in a position to do so a prisoner cannot bail another prisoner somebody gets what i'm saying if they

3:50 arrest you and say who will you say my counterpart that is also arrested the moment you understand what the grace of our lord jesus is and means you will know that you have no right to hold anybody's fault against them because the same way they don't qualify to be where they are you don't qualify to where you are there is nothing you have that you qualify for is somebody getting what i'm saying it's a revelation my wife always tells me ah you forgive people easily i say my if you have been forgiven you can't hold anybody somebody gets what i'm saying some of us still think we qualify because of our works or because we contributed something that is why we think we have the audacity to hold somebody you can't hold anybody even you will make it without the grace

4:36 of our lord jesus christ is somebody getting what i'm saying to appreciate mercy you have to give mercy the grace of our lord jesus christ that grace is what changes our position that grace is what puts us in a position to walk with god without that grace we will never be able to stand before god that grace is so powerful the grace of our lord jesus christ it actually elevates us the moment you understand that grace you will never think a poor thought in your life you are not a poor person you might be going through a hard time but you are not a poor person you are not a sick person you are not the sick trying to be healed you are the healed that someone is trying to put sickness on is somebody getting what i'm

5:22 saying it changes your position the moment you understand that christ took your place and you took his place your position has changed forever the grace of our lord jesus christ hallelujah the grace of our lord jesus christ he took our place down by the grace they mean the grace of what he did the grace of him taking our place i am here today because he took my place i am now in his place that's why you were always here we are raised together we are sitting together he elevated us to his own rank the grace of our lord jesus christ and guess what among the godhead he's the only one who can rub shoulders with

6:10 because of that grace you see that's what that that's right it's called the grace of jesus it's not really the grace of god now i know generally it's the grace of god of course but you hardly see scripture refer to it as the grace of god it's more about the grace of that that is what we are really practically enjoying is the grace of jesus he's the only one corruption that's what you dare not drop your death with god and you don't rupture this with the holy spirit but you are joint hairs with christ you can always rush with us you say we are seated together we are raised together always comparing us together with christ is somebody getting what i'm saying and this is why we pray in jesus name so when you pray it's not you asking somebody what i'm saying that's what jesus name means

6:56 all right it's not me making the request it has nothing to do with me is that grace is christ making that request jesus making that request the next thing there is the love of god that grace of god leads us to the love of god like i said final words are important why did paul put these three things and attribute these three different things to the three parts of the godhead because these are the most prominent things about them it says the love of god oh man we are so obsessed about the power of god but god wants us to focus on the love of god is somebody getting what i'm saying we are so obsessed with the power of god if people want to talk about god what we talk about is the power of god we all like the power of god it's more dramatic but that's not the major part

7:43 of god you will never see god anywhere say i am power but you hear the bible say god is love love is more important to him you see in him as love is more important to him as you see him as part see somebody can be powerful and not send you i don't even know what i'm saying some kind of puffer not care about you there's there's a world with just mine he doesn't know me he's riches doesn't benefit me you see somebody can be powerful and not help you and not love you but someone cannot love you and not use their power for you i don't know if you're getting what i'm saying someone can be powerful and not help you but someone cannot love you the moment you shift your consciousness to the love of god you will know you have access to the power of god

8:30 oh man the reason you doubt whether god is going to do it or not is because you don't know he loves you i see people all the time saying i don't know if it's god's will to heal me you see those people that know that god can heal me but i don't know whether he loves me enough to heal me they know he can they don't know whether he will is somebody getting what i'm saying the love of god god is more interested in you understanding he loves you that love is so deep that they say we have to check the length the breath the width to understand that love god loves you the moment you understand this your prayer concept will change i see too many christians negotiating

9:15 with god convincing god calling god some even threatening him that if you don't answer me if i don't marry this year you will see my true color thank you chameleon you have many colors are threatening god because they don't understand see god's stand is already settled he stands i can't remember the last time i asked god for anything in terms of asking him that this is what i want that's that's not a very the more you're growing you think of spirits you you you prefer for god to tell you what he wants is somebody getting what i'm saying what you want can never be as good as

10:01 what he wants how many people here have prayed for something you've got to think you're not happy with this when he came some of you say pray for something it didn't happen and later in life you thank god it didn't happen when you understand the concept of god's love you would never casual him you never shout at him on that day of your life we are so obsessed with his power we are so obsessed with his power of course he is powerful but if you are not sure of his mind concerning you his power is of no use to you he would rather you concentrate on his love that's what paul said god didn't say paul didn't say the grace of our lord jesus christ the power of god and the flesh of jesus no he said the

10:47 love if you're going to know anything about god focus on his love john 3 16 captures the whole bible for god so love the world his love is the most outstanding or prominent thing about god it is his love from genesis to the end what you will see is god's love in action glory to god the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god the love of god the love of god he wants us to know see when you understand that you will i i don't shout at god i've never my wife remember talking some time

11:33 ago and she was saying you know many christians get to say if something is going bad in their lives they actually blame god and i said i've never had that problem if anything is going wrong in my life the one person i know that is on my side is god i can doubt other men are on my side the one person i know for setting that is on my side is god i have never had the case to say god when god why what are you talking about this person from your first encounter relationship with him has always been on the basis of love he even loved you before you were born he loved you before you knew him he said if we love him because he first loved us so why would you think that you know and again that's the problem because we know his power we

12:19 don't know his love he had an accident god why did you allow it happen in your mind you have gone straight to power because you know that he can stop the accident why didn't he stop it go he said go to love knowing that trust me he must have done a lot of things to try to stop that accident we know his power that's why we blame him for everything there are people that think if god is in charge of this world why are they why why is that terrorism why are these bad things happening because that loving god gave men free will do you want to be a robot he gave you free will his men that are doing that not god god would rather you doubt his power than that you doubt his love

13:04 doesn't want you to doubt his love the love of god that's the most important thing about him not his power you'll never hear god joseph has empowered but you hear the bible say god is love he he's so much in love that he describes himself as love you will never hear god say god is favor you will never hear god say god is money but you hear god is love never i've never had to blame him for anything he can't be at fault he he he is the one working for me he's the one on my side if he's not the lord that was on our side who would have been consumed it's because of his mercies that we are not consumed it can't be him so

13:51 like i said if you understand these two steps your prayer life will change there is nothing i need to ask him for that he has not factored in already in fact the first two people in this scripture are already in quote retired in quote so that's why when you're talking to them you must know how you're talking to them you must talk to them in past tense jesus has finished his work and he has gone back to sit the first two people in this scripture are seated jesus is sitting god is sitting that's why god told him come my right hand and sit so they are both sitting my lord said to my lord sit on my right

14:37 hand they are both what city so don't shout you're shouting at wrong people they finish their work the grace of our lord jesus establishes our position the love of god establishes god's position please follow this this is important the grace of our lord jesus establishes your position so you are not a pauper you are not a broke you're not a poor person you are not you're not disadvantaged somebody get what i'm saying the grace of our lord just establishes your position the love of god establishes god's position you can't be telling god have mercy repeat me no he has already pitied you he has already shown mercy

15:24 put up there my imposters the guy you should be bothered about is the third person there the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god and what i can't hear you and what this is the one we are not paying attention to and that is the real issue the two people we are talking to are retired permanent secretaries they've left office they've gone to rest in our hometown where we are going to join them later the only person that is still in office is the person we don't even talk to he said the communion your relationship with the holy ghost he's the only active

16:09 part on the earth today the rest are seated in heavenly places waiting for you is somebody getting what i'm saying is where the struggles of many christians are they still talk to god the father as if he's going to do something he has done they are talking to jesus he has changed position with you already he can't do more than that the person you should be talking to is the holy spirit why why should we talk to him he's the ceo he's the chief operating officer he's the one in charge he's the project manager why is he important he is important because like when we arrived

16:55 here they gave us a protocol person that was telling us everything that was freely given to us without that person i will come here and struggle now where's my seat i don't have seat lord sit lord city jesus name sit sit sit sit sit if i talk to my protocol officer there is a seat already prepared for those who love him that's it guys first corinthians let's see there the person that is most important we neglect him we talk to god the father we pray in jesus name but we're not talking to the holy spirit first coin chance two from verse nine

17:40 first question two from verse nine look at this but as it's written i had not seen nor ear heard neither i've entered the heart of man what i can't hear you what the things which god has what is it going to prepare prepared next verse he said but god had done what revealed them unto us by who co he said for the spirit does what search out all things how many things did all things the deep things of god next verse he said for what man know what the things of any man except the spirit of that man in him if we saw the things of god nowhere to no man but what this see oh oh

18:27 next verse he said now we have received not the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of god that we might know the things that are what those things are given already we just need the spirit to hand it over to us to show us where they are is somebody getting what i'm saying oh man the spirit is the most important person on the earth today in terms of the godhead the rest are seated they've done their parts god so loved the world he has done jesus has already come and died and gone back he has done he said but i will send you another person and he said that communion it's

19:12 not it's not just having the holy spirit is the communion you see christ is the grace god is the love holy spirit is the word communion everybody has the holy spirit is the communion communion the relationship you can't possess what is yours without a relationship with the holy spirit you can't possess all that is yours without the relation if there's anything you are going to desire this year desire communion with the holy spirit that's how to get what is yours hallelujah god has already done it why is he not in my hand i have not spoken to the protocol officer

20:02 oh pastor was talking yesterday possibly was talking yesterday and i've also heard him say it um some time ago also that there's nothing like old or new testament that's so powerful that is when the veil is removed from any scripture that it makes sense to you that is not old or new because every scripture is inspired of god every scripture is inspired it is when the holy ghost opposes it when the veil is removed pastor said that yesterday and that is so true that is why we don't act the bible can be almost useless if the holy spirit is not reading it with you it will make no meaning to you but you see this same bible you can find the university to go to in

20:48 this bible if the holy spirit reading with you once the very older knew that's what i was saying there is nothing like old or new it's all inspired scripture how can you say something god said is old is science catching up with god it's not god catching up with science his life catching up with god god is an eternity and nothing he says is old is somebody getting what i'm saying my wife saw me inside this bible i'm here now you see and that's the thing that's right that's why it says communion of the gods general holy spirit as what is going on there's an anointing and holy spirit here but if you don't have communion all these things were shouting you won't get the word you need it's communion it's communion that gives

21:34 you your own word this is a buffet see how did you see the lineup it's a buffet but you know you can attend all these sessions all and still live the same if you don't have the communion where they handle your own say you will stand in your front see you you have your teachers in front of you but you hear a voice behind you saying this is the way you should undo that issue my wife was in a relationship for five years with a medical doctor when we come for a relationship program this year we'll share it pastor i've invited myself it's okay whenever i manifest it doesn't matter if it's not trying to manifest one day i don't have a problem we don't pressure the holy ghost when

22:19 manifesting manifest whenever i'm preaching again in relationship here i will share the fuji's but some of you don't know last year i set out preaching one big decision i said no i said it to myself yeah i know pastor caught it the person cut it [Laughter] so i have relationship with somebody for five years the guy is a medical he's a good christian not a bad guy he's a christian born again the relation for five years um his medical doctor went to do masters in the uk very promising um they have different introduction amanda martha was studying the bible the woman by the world and she got to where they said the man you are with is not your husband you see that once the veil is removed you will see

23:05 your own word everything in the bible is logos but once god breathes on it it becomes your rhema and why communal is important that there's no general word nothing like general word because another person cannot go and apply that scripture because that's what we have been doing we i want to apply somebody's revelation no it must be inspired actions so she saw the man you are which is not your husband ah after five years she began to struggle with abolition that's it so i'm summarizing now she said lord the same way you told me who it is not that's how i want you to tell me who it is so later again maybe some weeks or months i don't know months she was studying the bible again she was not in the book of somewhere and as she was reading this she was showing

23:52 where someone went to anoint david and they said um that's why he said this he's the he's the youngest and he's taking care of sheep and he's handsome you know george georgia they said david is fair david is fair and handsome and smart you don't usually mention it but me i caught my own revelation there he said he's the last born and is taking care of sheep he's an anointing for he's the one so god then asks her um what position is kingsley in his family you say he's the last one he said what do pastors do they take care of sheep he said arise anoint him for his daughter by that time i had not asked her out

24:38 because she said the same way you told me who it is not i want you to show me who it is is somebody get what i'm saying there's nothing you can't find here once the veil is removed that's why communion thinking about the holy spirit is relationship not just you can't shout at the holy ghost you know you can shout at god he's the love of god he will say uh that's god though christ we say well you are my person i've already died for you i can't die more than this one he will understand but the holy ghost among the three he doesn't take nonsense so you will hear things like don't grieve the holy spirit you're not hearing that once but him he doesn't take rubbish he said don't grieve the holy spirit he said quench not the spirit you

25:26 he you're not just god will never leave you for a second holy ghost lives expect for a moment many people that are sensitive or prophesy or minister in sentencing spirit they say whenever they violate something the holy ghost tells them say don't lay hands and they go and lay hands they find that the anointing leaves or god gives them a word and said don't prophesy it and they carry microphone and give the world publicly the only one's not talking to them again forward he's not the other one so that do not even oversee this one grieve not quench not he's the one that killed another sufferer the god we know doesn't kill he's a god of mercy but the holy ghost they say why how dare you lie to the holy spirit he doesn't play or does play

26:11 he's not his fault he's a very sensitive and busy person he's very sensitive that's why they said the sin against the holy ghost is the one that is they don't forgive because god you can sin against god forgive you sin against jesus they forgive you sin against the holy ghost you say go and write application and come and defend yourself god don't forget like that he's very sensitive and this is why many people don't have any relationship with him but they have the holy ghost but they don't have any it's communion they said not just holy ghost you already have holy ghost it's communion of the holy ghost that is the key not only goes we all have holy ghost and you see with up when it comes to salvation and christianity you can actually fake every other thing except communion with the holy spirit you can't fake it we have a love point

26:57 in church that are not really born again any person will tell you the person came out voter caller but he doesn't know what they came up for you some people coming out he just came he's opening their nails raised him in the race say this thing he says carry baby carry join department he joins he's doing everything about when you have a real talk with him you'll notice one doesn't know what we are doing in these premises i don't know if you've met that anyway every pastor has to seem like that you can fake every other part of christ you can give money without knowing jesus you can't suffer in the department without having holy ghost but that communion of the holy spirit once you encounter it there are some things you can never do or say again he's the one in charge of gifts of the spirit he's also the one in charge of fruits of the spirit he's a sea oh

27:44 without him your christian is fruitless do you want to identify you separate you from an unbeliever that communion not because the moment god actually guides you to something you know god is real you richard said nobody can convince you god is not real because you know what you heard you know what you saw his communion and his relationship nothing you can't fake it you can fake every other part of christianity ah he's not singing some people come to try and say i like the music it's washable but they call it music every day i meet what i say pastor i like your show i say it's a show he says true

28:31 this is heavy preacher presidential [Laughter] when you have communion you want to live above sin communion he will guide you you wanna live above trouble communion my phone is i know the thing about the holy spirit once you develop that communion with him you'll be amazed he said he will show you he there's nothing he doesn't know there's nothing any struggle you are facing most likely is that holy spirit you don't have communion you have holy spirit that's why they call him the seal of our salvation that's where the thing really has entered he's the seal of redemption you can fake the others church attendance you can't tell

29:17 i never attend an envy attend everything and not be genuinely saved don't tell anybody this one they have some persons that are not saved i'm telling when they talk you say you sure you understand what we are doing here because he has grown in the ranks he has done everything right he's diligent but he's no communion nothing replaces that once the community is there that's your authenticity that's the proof of attention observation that you have a persona is not group communion is personal the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god and the communion not the holy ghost but the communion of the holy spirit

30:03 it comes with communion hallelujah comes to communion relationship relationship he's very sensitive you hear don't quench the spirit don't grieve the spirits you hear things like that because for many years i've wondered why would god kill a nurse as a pharaoh it's not today people make pledge and don't really demeter every person i don't have for their memphian some people say they'll come up they will lie down people make plans some people say they will die in you are my pastor this is my church the holy ghost is my church and next week's everyone come next week people make pledge and don't pay pledge every day why would he kill these two guys you

30:50 told them how dare you lie or test the holy spirit see peter said to an ass why has satan feel thy heart to do what to lie against he doesn't play you for lie against god see you lie against the holy ghost you know they play somebody get in this he's a very sensitive spirit he hates to be ignored he has to be ignored he's not the kind of person you can just turn on and turn off he has to be ignored you must cultivate the relationship quickly several ways you can cultivate that relationship then i'll leave

31:36 quickly praise god i know this is not very deep but i don't teach deep things i just want to teach practical things you can use you can use this here because i'm enjoying my christian work i don't know why people are enjoying it it's that lack of communion do you know god contact you know god told me the school to go to the course to study and it was so it was so sure that i went to write the exam without reading don't practice this at home you know that's not a communion it's personal you can't click on that person's own it doesn't work like everybody has the visual work like i said is the path of the just it's when you follow your own past that your life shine bright if you follow a group path you don't shine it's you're only your own path and you think about your past is everything you're looking for is there husband wife

32:22 job everything's there down the path i can't feel any part that everybody's feeling god told me the school to go to the course to study i wrote you only once is somebody getting what i'm saying is that accurate but the relationship has to be cultivated christianity is not supposed to be a struggle if you're in touch with the ceo a lot is going on in the world but if you if you're in touch with the ceo you'll find out there's there's an inheritance kept for you you're not an orphan i said you are not an orphan it doesn't matter that i don't have a physical mother of what i see in nigeria i see somebody like 30 years who says i'm not a fan i say no no no no that's not how they use that word you're 40 years old but your father

33:07 mother is they say often no that's not how they use that word often is for people that are under age that don't afford our mother not you 40 you say of no that's not wrong use of the word can i do that with anything to manipulate people to help us is that man you are somebody's father now but spiritually you're not an orphan so it's not you your work is supposed to be hard in fact if you see too much struggle and area you need to go back and check what's happening too much struggles though and that's why it's because we don't know how to convert relationship with holy spirit we don't understand the different kinds of prayer like i said we are too obsessed with god's power in our country the way we pray so that's why

33:53 all our prayer is shouting at god there are times the only time you really should be shouting is when you're speaking to things or situations not to your father somebody already loves you he can't love you more than he already loves you i don't know if you understand what i'm saying god can love you more he already loves you to the maximum and he has already provided everything you would need so yes if you're speaking to mountains in your life if you're speaking to situations or territories or demonic activities you can shout and use the authority if you're talking to your father no need he already loves you are you here somebody he already loves you we have not cultivated that communion seven ways quickly

34:40 number one develop the consciousness of the holy spirit so that's what i'm trying to achieve this afternoon do you know he's sitting by you where you are right now do you know he follows you he's called parakletos the one called alongside to help he's right there alongside the reason why he's not talking to you let me say you are not hearing him is that you're not conscious of him he's a person he's not a wind he's not a dove he's not rain he's not fire he is what a person so develop the consciousness that hey i'm never alone you know liverpool you never walk alone

35:25 yes no you never walk alone that's what they are saying really do you know you never walk alone you never walk alone even if you're married you don't know how to touch you oh my god i don't have time when i come for the marriage conference i'll teach you all these things i learned my life i'm telling my own business yeah laughing at my grandma okay there are many times you see when you say you can't be a good husband can be a good wife it's lack of communion with the holy spirit the only ghost will coach you how to love your wife contract to love your husband there are many times i want to say something don't say anything i said no i'm a teacher of the world if i explain to her she will understand and i will go ahead and disobey

36:11 and i was saying my mind and the situation would get worse she would be more angry than before one time were in the car together i was in front she was at the back there were people in the car with us so she sent me one message about something that happened that she didn't like unless she sent it only said all you need to say is oh sorry baby i'm telling you i killed you know that's what the logo said just write oh sorry baby but of course i said i have to share my own view when i shared my view he made things was

36:58 made things worse do you know some weeks after we were talking about that issue and my wife said when i sent you that long message all i expected you to say was oh sorry baby she used the same words i just blew my face how he goes i don't know what to do she had it for the first time one day when i was preaching like this because i didn't tell her the holy ghost told me don't say it many times like that when we're newly wedded that's when i started learning it i will get home from work she'll give me food a goosey soup she used to cook some mini good soup i mean all this way i'm trying to lose this the person that caused the problem wives do that when they marry you handsome they overfeed you so that you'll be attractive to other people is the insurance

37:46 insurance policy so so i'll be eating the food and the holy ghost say give her your fish or give out of your fish i'll say the holy spirit she's the one that cook this food there is more in the pot if she wants fish or any other thing she knows where to get it while i'm yet arguing my wife will just say honey give me out of your fish now i know with women i'm planning to i was thinking about is zero you know those zero to have eyes you can't tell man i'm planning to many times i've been in the office they'll go say call your wife let me finish this chapter let me finish

38:31 this message let me finish what i'm doing then she will call me i'll say honey i was planning to planning to call if your husband or wife is always complaining is the communal holy ghost that is not there juggler's ready to guide you even sexually even in cooking you don't know how to cook ah because is a professional chef are you hearing somebody there is no area of life even in business in business before you sign some things go on okay let me let me go into developing questions because i'll break it down there before you sign some things go and pray the holy ghost is a mover the first time he was introduced and the bible was moving

39:18 he's not general was assisted god the father assisted jesus seated by the right hand holy ghost we move he's a mover he kept me moving and he's still moving he's somebody here when he entered an accident apostles say it was like a rushing wind it's always moving so number one develop the consciousness that is with you and as a person number two talk to him talk to the holy spirit just even where you are now can you just whisper and talk to him anything like just tell him right now where you are we stand by your breath we don't need to hear tell him something everybody tell him something it can be thank you holy spirit god we talk to god we talk to

40:04 jesus the one person we neglect which is the most important to us here now we don't talk to him we talk to god thank you father thank you jesus i'll include thank you holy spirit that's the one that we talked to you here the others they are greeting you from fire it's like calling ig of police because somebody bashed your car here in front of roundabout they're calling your police for me from headquarters there's nothing he can do he will still refer you to a policeman on ground thank you father you say thank you son love you i'm brooke love you

40:50 the love of god i love you jesus i'm broke he said you know the grace my grace though i was rich now i'm poor so that through my poverty you are rich [Applause] the person on ground that can bring you out of that poverty is the holy spirit he will not tell you oh yeah this product or you are this thing or you're good at please call this person this is the person you will call [Applause] but yes he's the one we don't talk to the most thank you father we say thank you holy ghost thank you thank you jesus also include thank you holy spirit talk to him talk to you about anything you are going now say holy spirit i don't know the

41:36 roots that is good holy spirit i want today to be great always guide me how i'm going to just talk to him it mustn't be a special ceremonial thing yo he's with you just talk practice talking to the holy spirit while you read your bible say holy spirit show me where to read honestly speak to me today as i'm reading this bible i'm always fascinated by people that read three or four chapters at once i've never been able to do it there are some verses i've just seen i've closed for the week because i'm still meditating on that it's too sweet too deep to move to another thing are you hearing somebody you know there's nobody said you you'll be blessed by reading the bible everywhere they say you will bless by meditating on the bible thinking about it looking at it meditating

42:21 someone joshua one all that okay so talk to him all right talk to him number three listen to him so from time to time just be quiet in your spirit man after you have talked to him be quiet and listen for the instructions so you want to do business you want to sign a deal you want to go after something don't start by the physical effort start by the spiritual effort you don't have to check five places before you find the one you don't have to kiss many frogs before you find your prince you can actually by the spirit know the right one at once are you here somebody

43:07 listen to him i remember one time i was in school i was writing an exam because i was already doing ministry when i went to school i was handling class now like i said don't practice this at home i was already doing ministry so i i just come for exam so there was this test they were doing of course i've missed the test many times so there was not the last chance for those that have been missing the test to write the test 30 max and i came that day do you have textbook didn't have anything so i borrowed a textbook from somebody the test was holding one in an hour's time and i had one hour to read something they've studied half of the whole semester most people were trying to read everything as i took the textbook i kept it and the first thing i did was to worship

43:52 i was to worship listen to the holy spirit before you do any deal i'll finish the story later in this rough back not next one so listen to the holy spirit there are many moves you want to make he has an opinion listen to him remember what his next one number four yields to the spirit yields to him so whenever he nudges your heart like i told he is very sensitive he doesn't like talking to stubborn people he's very sensitive so when he nudges your heart and says forgive somebody forgive those are the things that really stretch your ability to hear things like forgive things like gift because some people bind him holy say

44:38 god empty your account say i behind you jesus name let me tell you satan can never tell you to give that's how you know you said that i could never forgive satan we always say to revenge satan will never tell you to give to give to god's kingdom never so it can't be the devil so yield sometimes he will tell you go and pray you see those are the things i'm saying that's how you perfect listening random things he will tell he said just go and pray now oh don't eat today you are not applying to fast there's no church fast you just woke up finding your business i'm thinking about like today you guys say don't eat today that's how you yield

45:24 my phone now my phone is cracked in the screen and it's blinking different lights you know what happened me and my wife and the family were in one event and we had been there for a few hours and we're about to leave already about to leave and i should stand up from the chair the only way put your phone in your pocket now as a normal nigerian i like to be pressing something in my phone but he just told me put your phone in your pocket wear this thing why would i happen from my pocket makes no sense i'm always holding my phone i knew why later a few minutes after i met somebody i knew as i was shaking the person my phone fell my foot never falls my wife was shocked my foot never falls i don't lose things so whenever i lose something i've missed some i know my teeth don't get messy

46:11 my phone fell and it felt there was sand everywhere but one small rock somewhere the phone fell and the screen hits the rock among all the sand so the screen is cracked down it's blinking different lights you say put it in your pocket yield to the holy spirit yield it might be small small things call this person now you're looking for your husband one of my shield passes you know how he found his wife there was all my daughters i was looking for for many years i didn't know where she was i was the office one day after praying and just being quiet we gonna say take a walk now i took a walk go to the junction i met the girl i said where have you been oh whatever we church every day and that's a massive

46:56 pastor so and they got married how many of you looking for things you know sometimes even something we're looking for is in some people's hands but they don't want to listen to the holy ghost so this is where prayer comes in i look what you say pray in tongues yourself just holding your listen but they are holding tight to the card that you give you pray let's touch your heart are you here somebody the things that have been freely given to you yield to the holy spirit number five don't grieve the holy spirit if you're going to develop that communion with him don't grieve him he gets upset he's illegal he's sensitive so don't grieve him don't continuously disobey the things he tells you that grieves him

47:43 don't hold grudges don't use your mouth wrongly forgive people that offend you forgiveness has nothing to do with that the person deserves it or not because you two didn't deserve forgiveness from god forgive you don't hold those grudges don't grieve the holy spirit number six create the atmosphere for the holy spirit to move he's very part like i say sensibility but about atmospheres this is why we worship in church this is why you must not miss worship part of the service some people can't believe the word somebody do not worship they are just plain it's a very crucial part of the service somebody pressing their phones yield and then create the atmosphere he likes worship he likes fast things fast things helps

48:29 you to be sensitive to him i get what i'm saying he's always around really but fasting helps you so create the atmosphere fasting worship so as i was saying about that story i had one hour to prepare for that um exam that test many chapters to cover had only one hour there's no way i could read everything i dropped the book and i started to worship about how diarrhea i just worshiped and worshipped my worship for like 10 minutes and the next thing the holy spirit said read chapter one some of you for a sign contract like that keep the contracts and just worship create that's right see you need to even approach god with the confidence of the holy spirit the conference that he will

49:14 speak many times we approach him i said we're not sure he is the person he's there the first time i ever heard god's voice was for something very useless that's when i knew that he's very interested in in our lives it was a puzzle you know puzzle puzzle i was a young person so i didn't even know what i was doing my other brother came and said do this probably challenge yourself everything like that he said dude response you can never get it i know what i just i just said the holy spirit will tell me the answer i didn't know what i was doing i was a young christian maybe a year in the lord or something i said look at those things what to do i dropped it by the bed he came in next year if not only i said no you'll negotiate what to do i was just saying that the third day i was just lying down the bed relaxing quiet and that's nothing like quiet atmospheres

50:01 that's quite hard you can oh you the noise in this generation is too much when young tv starts four o'clock and actually has closing time so even if you don't want to go and do something to your life the ncaa will say we have clothes you want to use less your life we're not going to contribute we have clothes we have family we want to unrest but today if you want to finish your own destiny there's enough material to finish it listen you can be online 24 hours there's something going on is that one platform too much noise he likes quietness he likes quietness you must practice quietness he does that that's what he likes hallelujah

50:46 i was just lying down quiet and the lord just told me two three four i'm telling you never had god's voice for that time two three four he said that's the answer to pause and i picked the puzzle up two i wrote to you because that person supposed to do it many times before you get it i wrote two three four once and i showed my brother he couldn't believe that you got this thing once i said once one first attempt holy ghost can tell me puzzle dies of no use what of the puzzle of life canada is good boy is it for you don't just uproot some of you nigeria is good is it for you don't just stay [Laughter]

51:32 are you here somebody yeah create the atmosphere so i picked that test because i read chapter one i read chapter one it's not long i memorized the whole chapter one the text came there was session a session b choose anyone you want section a everything there is chapter one you know this question i have children and grandchildren everything was chapter one i finished it because that's the only thing this is really i finished the thing and this one where marketing is scripted from you you sit down and make your script full of you everybody failed everybody goes loose when i sat down you guys ah you're my boy you got to say i got everything because i didn't start running first i started worshiping first [Music] it's not every effort that is important

52:20 it's not until you suffer before you are making progress nobody awards you for your suffering this world is interesting nobody appreciates effort have you seen everybody say this person you're giving award for the most hardworking student that didn't pass nobody appreciate efforts that you went to woke up you trained you trained for this world cup no you did you win the world cup it's only first price they recognize create the atmosphere number one is the next one pray in the spirit pray in the holy ghost it's one of the ways to sharpen your consciousness of this holy spirit pray in the holy spirit if you develop that communion with the holy spirit you'll see that this year will be very

53:06 fruitful for you you don't have to just write before you write your plans for the don't just write things from your mind can you take 30 minutes to just worship before you ride it he will adjust certain things things that are freely given i remember talking about the veil being opened like pastor said and reading the bible because i i sense that there's some people here you're you need to take a next step you need to take a next step but the issue is that you need to know what that next step is not every next step that is your next step we are doing ministry things where okay but we just knew that things needed to go to a new level and i didn't know what to do i had a lot of ideas and visions in my heart i know what to do you know what god

53:52 showed me god told me to go on tv and he showed me through scripture there's television inside this bible at the time tv was the largest media it wasn't like today with the social media tv was the largest form of media that existed at that time and god said go on tv dj give me john 7. i got to put up with scripture from a dj they mixed scripture john 7 and verse 4 did you john 7 number 4 john 7 and verse 4. this is where i started to go to tv from and today most of you know me i'm strong on media is this this way it started i don't play with media he says for there is no man that do it anything in secret and he

54:38 himself seeker to be known openly he said if thou do these things show thyself to the world if this thing you are doing is important why are you just doing it ordinary in one corner show yourself let people know you can do it ah and the thing i got from this thing this is jesus brothers kind of uh snaring at him without you yeah here you are savior are you in this corner but me i got to go on tv from it tv was the biggest media there he said go on tv save a bed particularly without very removed you many people have read past this place me holy just stop me there say if this is important show yourself to the world

55:23 melee we got that what i thought my wife was going on tv we didn't have any money we would have anything i said what's the first thing we're going to say i'm going to look for somebody that has a tv ministry i like that's how i do everything once i get an instruction i say who is doing this thing who because there's nothing you're trying to do somebody's not doing we just like to suffer sometimes some people think that they're suffering very personally i suffered nobody's gonna give you a word for suffering i said who is doing this thing so i sat down one day watched television and i the only ministry i liked what they were doing on tv at that time was covenant with pastor produce tv ministry i said i like what this what this person is doing so i told my wife let's go and connect with this so when we came to meet him then came to his office we saw we told him what we wanted to do i want to go on tv now before that time there were two ministers we saw on tv

56:11 so the first one went to meet the first one he said ah tv is hard don't continue tv lilly will leave that tomorrow if he's not the person so we came to possibly come to passover then we said we want to go on tv and everything we don't have the money to have anything he said he too when he said i didn't have the money he didn't even know i was going to do it that we should go on it it's very powerful we must go on it and he was very positive about it i said we must go and when we finish hammer commission yes you can appreciate him yes it's not it's not just liverpool jesus is the first thing he's giving me no he hasn't given me advice before this liverpool just it gives me things you know so that day i remember we saw the seed we saw the seed into his life was also the

56:56 seed into the tv ministry there's so much power see there's grace of god everybody has but there's grace that is helping somebody in something it's always always okay to to connect with that grace it's like partnership and all that you connect with the grace that is working in that person like the bible said take an active part in the joys of others that's what the bible calls um rejoice with those that rejoice one translation says take an active part in the joys of others your friend is getting married you won't trust me go and support her go and help her anything you partake of like that it rubs off on you they said who who is the prophet um again after elijah they said this elijah i put water on the hands so anybody you serve like that or help like that whatever is working their life also rubs off so we saw the seed one seed into his own personal life and that's it into their

57:42 own tv ministry and we went home we sat down i said what are we going to do with my wife remember she knew somebody in silver bed we called the guy i want to come on tv the guy said there's no space everywhere it's full no slots free we sat down i said it was free god sent me we checked watch tv watch all the programs we saw one time three thirty it was free they were doing something that was not serious so we claimed it seriously that is our time and for about almost one year i kept confessing it every time i entered the house i would check three thirty what's happening three said nobody has come in my time because it's my time at this point showing cartoon my 3 30. guess what after almost a year the guy in silver bed calls us that a slot has opened

58:27 i said what time say three o'clock i said no that's pastor producer's time for the six o'clock say three o'clock i called passport that day i said they are saying three clocks rising free he said no he's guy especially if you know the person so we'll take some people's venue one church in one venue you come and take the venue even though you know the church is there so guess what nasa no it's a mistake it's not three o'clock it's treated so that's how that same three things i confess for one year let's say 330 is free come and take three tests i get one and that's how i started tv so i was right after pastor buddhist broke out so he will be three o'clock i'll come after and it's not a coincidence that i connected with that seed my time is right after his time i don't think it was a coincidence

59:14 whenever you see things working for people connect with the grace the holy spirit open tv and media general that's what i see i don't play with youtube i don't play with instagram he's no i'm not having fun i'm walking show yourself to the world if this is important don't shoot it in one corner show yourself to the world the holy spirit can breed on scriptures remember my wife took us about eight years to have our first biological child eight years my wife used to bleed i said you know the woman with your blood that's our hair this is her sister my wife she will bleed profusely doctors have said you can't have children my wife one night like this she was standing and it was like this was generating blood pool of blood you were just rolling out

59:59 pool of blood and the devil told me are you sure this woman can never have a child you want bleeding like this can she ever have children that maybe you are called to adopt you know you are the father of the church maybe a papa maybe spiritual children you will have and you just adopt children you only go through this i'm sitting there was trying to convince me to give up on my faith maybe it did that the holy spirit holy spirit he always bring back things to your remembrance is somebody getting what i'm saying right as the devil was talking the holy ghost said in him there is no variableness no shadow of turning that is very important because there are many people praying now wondering if it's god's will no see god doesn't heal

1:00:45 some people are not healed some people the moment you see him as somebody variable you can never know if you are qualified faith must be absolute for you to work i guess what i'm saying bishop said faith that is not absolute is important that when faith is absolute results are inevitable so god told you because quickly whisper to me he said in him there is no valuableness that means if god says none shall be buried in the land that is what not not that no shy barrier no but you you know your father your spiritual father if the holy ghost said you shall be above only and not beneath is for you if you say you are blessed above all people it is depend on the country you are living in

1:01:31 so don't excuse yourself from any promise of god say in him there is no variableness no shadow of turning hallelujah can we rise to our feet this morning were you blessed i can't hear you were you blessed let's rise to our feet this afternoon take one minute to just talk to the holy spirit today just the holy spirit i know you are with me i know you will guide me you will show me the things that are freely given to me go ahead go ahead and pray in the holy ghost too if you can talk to the holy spirit andre de ba casse come on go ahead and pray [Music]
