What You Must do After Praying, Fasting and Meditation || Apostle Michael Orokpo

0:00 You know, one of the problems we have, we just quote scriptures. Sometimes we're even excited and we ignore it and we walk away. If you live like that, you will never be impactful. As far as God's kingdom is concerned, there are many ways of being relevant among men. What we are discussing here is beyond relevance with men. We are talking relevance with spirits and the spirit of God. Because there are many non-Christians who are doing well in econom in the economy. There are many non-Christians who are doing well in government. So we are not benchmarking the scope of our subject on the possibilities within human civilization. We are talking about relevance beyond the realm of men to be big and relevant

0:48 with God. That's the subject we are looking at here. And we are considering amongst other things the role of intensity in making [music] this thing count. And for that to happen, you must come to a point where you tell yourself, I respect what I hear from the author, but I it's time for me to prove what the Bible says in my own life. And so anything I'm going to do from scripture, I will first of all settle down, understand what that thing is, UNDERSTAND HOW THAT thing is done, and understand why it is done. When I understand that, I will begin to engage that what the how until I get the why.

1:34 >> I was talking to my people recently. I say every day we gather to pray. Can you can you measure the progress you are making from prayer? Because if you have not come to a point where you say listen since we talk so much about PRAYER LET ME PROVE prayer in my life AND THEN YOU FIND OUT HOW DO I PRAY. If you understand how TO PRAY, THEN FIND OUT MAYBE YOU WRITE FIVE REASONS WHY YOU pray and then you put that reason somewhere AND THEN YOU START a prayer program for 1 MONTH OR FOR 2 months or for 3 months and then you are marking those reasons if those reasons come true. If it doesn't come true, let's leave this prayer matter and look for another way to survive because I'M TIRED OF RELIGION. BUT IF IT COMES

2:20 THROUGH, THEN I will bind myself to prayer all my life. This is how to begin the journey of the Christian faith. But when I read my Bible, I will pick one reality and when I see the BENEFIT AND THEN I LOOK AT MY LIFE, I'M WONDERING, come on now, if this thing is true, why is my life like this? The Holy Ghost told me, you have not been intentional. YOU ARE JUST DOING EVERYTHING HAPHAZARDLY AS A CHRISTIAN. HE SAID if you want to see the SAME RESULT THAT THE FATHERS OF OLD SAW, YOU MUST BECOME DELIBERATE AND TELL YOURSELF I WILL PROVE THIS THING IN MY LIFE. TAKE FOR INSTANCE JESUS was speaking in Luke 18:1. He say men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY AND not to faint. Number one, if you pray, you can't faint. And then you now check your life. Does that mean there's

3:07 no circumstance that can throw me down? If I pray AND THEN YOU CHECK THE LAST 5 YEARS, HAS THERE NOT BEEN ANYTHING THAT THREW ME DOWN? IF there was something, then what was the rule of prayer? SO YOU NOW TELL YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS I'M GOING TO GIVE MYSELF TO PRAYER. LET'S SEE IF THERE'S any wind any news OR WHATEVER THAT IF ALLOWED INTO MY SPACE can take ME DOWN. AND IF AFTER 6 MONTHS YOU DISCOVER YOU ARE STANDING, then you can tell yourself that truly prayer works. HE SAY IF YOU FAINT IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOUR GOD IS not alive. It's because your STRENGTH IS LITTLE. THAT MEANS THE REASON TROUBLE PULLS us down is because we are weak on THE INSIDE. >> SO PRAYER BUILDS STRENGTH. HE SAID THEY

3:52 THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD, HE SAID THEY MOUNT UP WITH WINGS like the eagles. He said when they run they are not weary. WHEN THEY WALK THEY DON'T FAINT. DOES THAT MEAN ANY COURSE OF LIFE I BEGIN TO UNDERTAKE? THERE'S NO POINT THAT I WILL FAINT. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I CAN BE PRODUCTIVE AND YET NOT GET WEARY? WHAT IS THE SECRET? HE SAID WAITING upon the Lord. Then let me begin my business. Let me see if this THING IS TRUE THAT STRENGTH WILL KEEP COMING. LET ME FACE MY CAREER WITH ALL THE BACKBITING, WITH ALL THE GANG UP, WITH ALL THE MALICE. LET ME SEE IF I WILL PREVAIL JUST BY WAITING. AND SO I AM WAITING NOW WITH THE PURPOSE. IS THERE STRENGTH IN WAITING? IS THERE ENERGY IN PRAYING? I MUST FIND THAT ENERGY. BUT YOU SEE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT DELIBERATE. EVEN WHEN

4:38 WE are praying there's no focus. That I'm NOT JUST PRAYING BECAUSE CHURCH SAY LET'S PRAY. I'M PRAYING BECAUSE I'M BUILDING STRENGTH. AND BECAUSE WE ARE NOT FOCUSED A POINT COMES WHERE THE PRAYER BECOME BORING or tiring. THE BIBLE SAID WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPLE THING. HE SAID THEREFORE GET WISDOM IN ALL YOUR GETTING UNDERSTANDING. WHY? HE SAID BY WISDOM KINGS REIGN. >> Yes sir. >> PRINCES DECREE JUSTICE. NOBLES ALL the rulers OF THE EARTH. HE SAID A HOUSE IS BUILT BY WISDOM. BY UNDERSTANDING IS ESTABLISHED AND BY KNOWLEDGE. EVERY CHAMBER IS FILLED with all precious things. And then I check my life. Where are the good things of my life? What am

5:24 I building from my life? FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS I'VE NOT BUILT ANYTHING. Then I lack wisdom. How then do I get wisdom? James 1:5. If anyone lack wisdom, let him pray. So I now go to the place of prayer. I'm praying now with a focus. I'm praying with a purpose. The Bible said wisdom builds a house. Wisdom produces establishment. WISDOM CAUSES good things to COME INTO A MAN'S LIFE. By wisdom, men re let me pray for 6 months and see which wisdom will come out of my life. SO FOR 6 MONTHS, I'm on a prayer project. THE GOAL OF THAT PROJECT IS THAT SOMETHING AN INSPIRATION MUST COME TO ME THAT WILL PRODUCE SOMETHING. THIS MY CAREER THAT I BECOME CONFUSED. THIS MY FAMILY THAT I BECOME CONFUSED. THIS MY BUSINESS THAT I'VE BECOME CONFUSED. LET ME PRAY FOR 6

6:11 MONTHS. IF NO ANSWER COMES THEN WE WILL INVESTIGATE prayer again. THOSE WHO ARE ON FIRE THIS IS HOW THEY THINK. THEY are deliberate. THEY ARE INTENTIONAL. THEY ARE NOT JUST EXCITED. THEY DON'T JUST FUNCTION BY momentary impulse. See, when you meet a man who is burning for God, every day of his life, there's an agenda. So everything you see him do, he has a focus. He has an objective. He has a target. HE HAS TIMELINES. THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR GOSSIP. THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR MIDWIFE FABLES. THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR WHERE EVERY OTHER PERSON GOES TO. HE'S ON A PROJECT AND SO HE PICK DIFFERENT DIMENSION. You

6:57 read your Bible. He says Solomon sacrificed and in one night God showed up and told him what do you want? And God gave him that level of influence. What is precious in my life? Let's test this sacrifice project. Because if you are not careful, you will do religion until you become a pastor. And then you will be telling people what you don't believe. >> And so both you and the people will end up in frustration and CONFUSION BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW DISCERNING WE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN WE LOOK AT CERTAIN PHYSICAL FEATURES WE ASSUME THAT you are ready >> and because you are bold, YOU ARE CONFIDENT, YOU ARE STRATEGIC. THEY SAY COME AND HEAD THIS UNIT. You don't

7:43 believe anyone >> because you have not proven it. IF THIS SACRIFICE THING WORK FOR 6 MONTHS, LET ME SACRIFICE AND SEE WHETHER THIS THING IS FOR a generation or IT IS GOD'S FAITHFULNESS ACROSS ALL GENERATIONS. You know what? When people challenge Christianity, we don't have what to say. Even we are not witnesses. >> And because we are not witnesses, we can easily be deceived out OF IT. IF SACRIFICE WORKS, ABRAHAM SACRIFICE, SOLOMON SACRIFICE, EVEN JESUS WHEN HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF, GOD GAVE HIM A NAME ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME. If this sacrifice a principle that works, I will do it now for 6 months. I'll [music] do it for one year. Let me see if my life

8:28 will change. SEE, WHEN YOU START GETTING THESE kinds of results, CHRISTIANITY for you will not BE A RELIGION. CHRISTIANITY WILL BECOME a walk in the spirit. IT WILL BECOME DIVINE STRATEGY FOR DIVINE RESULTS. CHRISTIANITY FOR YOU WILL BECOME A SECRET THAT BEAUTIFIES the life of a man. [applause] >> I'M TELLING YOU, OH HIM THAT WTH SO IS WISE. OKAY, LET ME DO SO WINNING PROJECT FOR 6 MONTHS AND SEE WHETHER I WILL BECOME WISER. AND WHEN I'M WISE, I WON'T TELL MYSELF. LET PEOPLE OBSERVE AND SAY I'VE BECOME WISE. AND THEN FOR 6 MONTHS, I PLAN THE NUMBER OF SOULS I win EVERY MONTH. THIS ONE HAS NO BUSINESS WITH CHURCH. IT'S NOT THAT MOMMY said let's win souls. I'M ON A PROJECT. I'VE SEEN

9:14 THAT THE BIBLE SAID HIM that winn SO IS WISE. LET ME SEE IF I CAN ROUTE THIS WISDOM. BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ONE THAT IS EARTHLY POSSIBLE, HOW CAN YOU BE SURE OF THE ONE in eternity? AS YOU BEGIN TO PROVE THE WORD OF GOD TO YOURSELF, a point will come. See, you will have too many results that something will break out of you. You you you can't keep it anymore. ANYWHERE YOU GO, YOU WILL TALK ABOUT IT, YOU WILL SING ABOUT IT, YOU WILL PROFESS IT UNTIL YOU WILL INDEED BECOME A WITNESS. I'M TELLING YOU, THE REASON MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SO lukewarm is because they've not proven the word to themselves.

10:04 It's a testy that the Lord is good. This is not you tempting God. This is you putting your convictions to work. You ask yourself for a second, what exactly have I proven in my life? What dimension of God have I proven in my life? Have you proven service? Have you proven so winning? Has prayer been proven in your life? See, I tell people we, you know, we we are very funny people. Somebody comes to you, I'm dying. I'm dying. You close your eye like a religious man. Death go back. Even you know that what you are doing is drama.

10:50 Somebody comes I have tumor. I have tumor. YOU CLOSE YOUR EYE. I COMMAND YOU TO DEMATERIALIZE. NOW IF THAT tumor dematerializes, won't you run? Will you NOT BE SHOCKED IF IT HAPPENS because you have not proven it. >> You had headache, you didn't pray about it. >> Little little things you didn't exercise yourself with it. But when the big thing come, you are assuming that it may happen. What will make it happen? That is why JESUS SAID THE CHILDREN OF this world are in their generation wiser than the children OF THE KINGDOM. NOBODY goes to start running in Olympics. When they want to run in Olympics, they begin from little EXCESS. THEY START TRAINING. THEY TRAIN and build up to that place. It's only a CHRISTIAN THAT

11:37 SHOW UP AND SAY, "GOD, YOU WILL NOT DENY YOURSELF. GOD, YOU WILL NOT PUT US TO SHAME. GOD, YOU WILL PROVE YOURSELF." HE DOESN'T NEED TO PROVE himself to anybody. HE IS GOD. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE or not, you are the one to PROVE YOUR FAITH. YOU CAN'T BLACKMAIL HIM. [cheering] >> GOD, WHERE ARE YOU? GOD, PROVE YOURSELF. PROVE YOURSELF. >> HE'S GOD ALL BY HIMSELF. [cheering] >> HE DOESN'T NEED ANYBODY OR ANYTHING TO PROVE HIMSELF. IN THE CHARACTER OF GOD, HE IS CALLED IMMUTABLE. THAT MEANS HE DOESN'T CHANGE. NOTHING YOU DO CAN PUT him under pressure. IN THE CHARACTER OF GOD, HE'S CALLED

12:22 ETERNAL. HE WAS, HE IS, AND IS TO COME. IT'S NOT YOUR BRIEF LIFE OF 100 YEARS THAT WILL PUT GOD UNDER PRESSURE TO prove himself. If you want him TO PROVE HIMSELF, DO WHAT HE HAS COMMANDED YOU TO DO. BEFORE YOU CAME, MANY PEOPLE HAVE LIVED FOR MANY GENERATIONS. AND WHEN YOU ARE GONE, MANY WILL STILL LIVE. YOU CAN'T USE 100 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE TO BLACKMAIL GOD. >> [cheering] >> AND THEN WHEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, WE ARE FRUSTRATED. BUT WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF OUR FRUSTRATION. [music] >> THE HOLY GHOST IS GIVING YOU LITTLE LITTLE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU VIOLATE THEM.

13:07 BUT THE DAY YOUR JOB IS ON THE LINE, THE WHOLE NIGHT YOU WAKE UP, you sing songs for two hours, you cry for 1 hour, THEN YOU BLACKMAIL GOD IN PRAYER FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS. WHEN THAT JOB DOESN'T COME THROUGH, THEN YOU GO ONLINE AND SAY, "I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY. I am now an atheist." You will GO TO HELL. HEAVEN and hell will remain. GOD WILL REMAIN. NOTHING will change. [cheering] >> [applause] >> PLEASE HEAR ME. HEAR ME. THANK GOD THE YEAR IS STILL YOUNG. I DON'T KNOW THE ONE GOD HAS PUT IN YOUR HEART AS A BURDEN BECAUSE HE DEALS WITH US AT

13:54 INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. >> FOR YOU IT MAY BE PRAYER. FOR ANOTHER IT MAY BE FASTING. FOR ANOTHER IT MAY BE GIVING, SACRIFICIAL GIVING. FOR ANOTHER IT MAY BE SOULWINNING. WHATEVER HE'S PUTTING IN YOUR HEART MEANS THAT'S THE EASIEST PLACE TO START. YOU START YOUR PROJECT. DO IT BY REVELATION AND RECORD YOUR PROGRESS. BECAUSE DAVID DIDN'T JUST COME AND SAY I WILL KILL GOLTH. NO, THERE WAS A TRACK RECORD. I WAS IN THE WILDERNESS. A BEAR CAME TOOK ONE OF THE SHEEP. I TORE IT DOWN. A LION CAME. I TORE IT DOWN. IN THE SAME MANNER, THIS UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE WILL [screaming] GO DOWN. [cheering] YOU DON'T BEGIN WITH GOLTH, YOU BEGIN WITH THE BEARER.

14:41 THAT'S WHY WHEN SAUL GAVE HIM HIS GARMENT, HE SAID, "I APPRECIATE YOUR GRACIOUSNESS, BUT THIS THING YOU are giving me has not been proven. >> I will go with what I've proven." And when he confronted Golth, something had happened to the young man. The Bible said after Goliath was described, even you reading the scripture, you become afraid for David. [cheering] THAT MOUNTAIN OF A MAN APPROACHED DAVID AND BEGAN TO C DAVID WITH HIS GODS. WHAT DOES THAT tell you? Even Golth was not fighting by his physical stature. >> Him too was walking with some spirit. >> HE CAUSED DAVID. SO IT WAS FIRST

15:27 SPIRITUAL BEFORE IT WAS NATURAL. THE NATURAL I SAY IS a costume. THE REAL POWER IS IN THE SPIRIT. SO THEY MOVE THE BATTLE TO THE SPIRIT. WHEN HE CAUSED DAVID WITH HIS GOD, DAVID SAID, YOU COME AGAINST ME WITH BOWS AND ARROWS. HE SAID, "BUT I COME AGAINST YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, WHOM ARMY YOU HAVE DEFIED, WHOM ARMY YOU HAVE DEFIED." SO THEY SHIFTED THE BATTLE TO THE REALMS OF THE GODS. WHEN GOLIATH APPROACHED DAVID, DAVID DIDN'T BOTHER HOW TALL HE WAS. THE BIBLE SAID DAVID CHARGED [screaming] AT HIM. WHO RUSHES A GIANT LIKE GOLTH? He had been proven the same way he pursued the bear. That was how he pursued Golth.

16:17 OUR CHRISTIANITY IS UNDER ATTACK. OUR CHRISTIANITY IS BEING CHALLENGED. THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER. WITNESSES MUST RISE. [cheering] The people Jesus left were not talkers. That's why they didn't say the preachings of the apostles. They called it the acts of the apostles. They were they were proof producers. But there's a technology for routing it. >> YOU ARE NOT WEAK. >> YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO COMPARE COMPETE FOR macho man where you never visited the gym.

17:06 MUSCLES ARE BUILT THEY ARE BUILT over time under pressure. See, tell yourself it's not enough to sit in the pew. >> Lord, what am I what are you training me with in this season? Is it night watching? >> Is it long intercession? Is it generosity to the poor? Is it doggedness in soul winning? What are you testing? What are you proving me with? WHAT CLASS HAVE YOU TAKEN ME TO? Because ultimately it will culminate to victorious living. >> This is why YOU NEED FIRE SO THAT WHEN ANY SIGNAL COMES you pick it with aggression. >> Because until the time of John the

17:53 kingdom of God suffered violence and the violent taketh it by force. >> Prove your faith. Prove it. Prove your faith. I read the Bible and I begin to wonder and I'm wondering WHAT WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE GUYS. THEY WERE FIGHTING THE AMORITES. IT WAS GETTING LATE. PACK YOUR WEAPONS. RUN HOME NOW. COME TOMORROW. Joshua knew there was an advantage and he had built tenacity over time. AND JOSHUA 10:12, LET THE SUN REMAIN

18:40 UPON THE VALLEY OF AJANO. LET THE MOON REMAIN UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF GIBON. AND HE SAID THE SON DID NOT MAKE HASTE TO GO DOWN. WHO TOLD YOU THAT MEN TALK TO CONSTELLATIONS? PEOPLE WERE SPEAKING TO THE SON and date we can't talk to. TILL DATE WE CAN'T TALK TO HEADACHE. >> I MARVEL. HOW DID MOSES even imagine that one man can confront a nation? How dare you go to Pharaoh? Let my people go that they may serve. You know something has happened to their

19:25 minds. You don't approach a nation AS AN INDIVIDUAL. WHO ARE YOU? The guy knew he was not alone. [music] >> And when the king argues with him, he will tell him by this time tomorrow, >> are you okay, sir? Is it Pharaoh you are talking to? He was addressed as the son god. How dare you walk up to him? He had that encounters WITH GOD. THEY KNEW THE POWER WAS IN INTIMACY. THIS WAS THE SAME PLACE YOU RAN FROM. WHAT GAVE YOU THE TEMERITY TO COME BACK? I've met the one that dwells in the fire. [cheering] I've seen fire talk. So there's no man redness of eye can't affect ME ANYMORE. I'VE SEEN FIRE A FLAME TALK.

20:13 I'VE SEEN FLAMES TALK. >> LET MY PEOPLE GO. AND THE LAST time Moses told Pharaoh, "You will not see me again." >> I ASKED MYSELF, WHY DIDN'T PHARAOH IMAGINE TO KILL HIM? BECAUSE THE ENERGY LEVEL THE GUY WAS TALKING FROM, HE WAS TOO VOLATILE FOR YOU TO IMAGINE YOU CAN TRAP HIM. >> TOO VOLATILE. And when Pharaoh ran, MOSES TOOK HIS PEOPLE OUT. PHARAOH STARTED CHASING HIM. He was not stranded because he knew where the first victory came from. He turned back to his God and God said, "Go forward. >> Stretch that same rod. that rod that you have tried, stretch it.

20:59 Do you IF YOU STAND BEFORE a sea and you have about 4 million people following you that you need to deliver. I don't know if there's any more any situation that can make a man more confused. I I don't know anyone THAT 4 MILLION PEOPLE, WOMEN, CHILDREN FROM CAPTIVITY THAT YOU need to deliver, you walk them to a sea and an army is behind you to level you. I don't know any circumstance that is more confusing. What did Moses know about talking to God that made him know that talking to God will change the situation? >> THAT GOD THAT IS CALLING YOU EVERY EVENING, COME AND WAIT UPON ME. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. >> A DAY WILL COME WHEN SIX PEOPLE IN THE

21:46 BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL TURN AGAINST YOU. THAT'S the only God that will stand THERE WITH YOU. [cheering] THAT GOD THAT IS TELLING YOU COME BY 12 MIDNIGHT, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. A DAY WILL COME WHEN SOMEBODY WILL HAVE 5, 10 OR 15 SECONDS FOR INTERVENTION TO HAPPEN OR THEY WILL DIE. You will NEED TO HAVE MASTERED ACCESSING HIS REALM TO GO THERE, GET ANSWER, COME BACK BEFORE 10 SECONDS. >> AND HE KNOWS THE DAY THAT TROUBLE COMES. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED FOR TWO YEARS, IT MAY TAKE YOU 6 months to get to his realm. SO HE TRAINED YOU TWO YEARS AHEAD. SO THAT THAT JOURNEY IS NO LONGER 6 MONTHS. IT'S NOW 5 SECONDS. SO EVEN IF SOMEBODY NEEDED 10 SECONDS FOR INTERVENTION, FIVE IS ENOUGH for you.

22:32 You can go to heaven and come back in 5 seconds and tell the man leave and not die. Hallelujah. >> Isaiah said, "I and the children the Lord has given to me." >> He said, "We are for signs and we are for wonders." We are not victims. >> We are for signs and for wonders. >> He said, "THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES." >> How come we can't see our own sign? >> Where is my sign? [music] Why are demons still PARAMBULATING AROUND ME? >> WHY SICKNESS STILL HANGING AROUND? >> WHY IS FAILURE STILL AROUND? WHERE ARE MY SIGNS? >> THIS IS WHY A GENERATION MUST BECOME ANGRY.

23:22 THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED JESUS AND MASTERED THIS THING. Their shadow are healing the sick. Why are my own loved ones still dying? [music] Don't I have shadow? Don't I have A HAND? WHY AM I LAYING MY OWN HANDS AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING? >> WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW THAT I HAVE NOT KNOWN? >> THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE AND THE ECONOMY OF NATIONS TURNED IN 24 HOURS. >> By this time tomorrow, two cups of Bali will be sold for one shekel at the gate of Samaria. How come my people are dying of hunger and I have nothing to do? Wear our signs. >> A generation needs to become angry. We must refuse to be comfortable in

24:07 religion. >> We came here to be witnesses of God. [music] This is why you must begin to prove the little you know before the great day comes. >> You must begin to prove it. When my brother died, I almost could not forgive myself because months before that time, God kept calling on me to wait to wait. I didn't know a season was coming. A testimony [music] became a tragedy. His name is called Alpha Omega. You are in today. He is still in

24:53 yesterday and he's already in tomorrow. So if he gives you instruction today, he's saving you from tomorrow's danger. Anything God is putting in your heart as a body now, >> make sure you guard it until you perfect it. >> That mastery will become your gateway for intervention tomorrow. Amen. >> Number two, >> you need to know yourself and new circumstances, failures, wicked men with their evil mouth and descriptions have given you a false description of yourself. The reason we look upon him is because

25:39 only him has the accurate prescription about us. And if we will come to that point where our Christianity will prove the veracity of the word of God, we need to know ourselves beyond what the circumstance is painting. See, some of us, even our biological parents were not spiritual enough to discern our destinies. >> And it's not time to go blaming them because even Jeremiah, his parents couldn't discern him. They thought all he needed to do was to follow them in the priesthood. His own destiny was to be a prophet. So, he sought God until he [music] found it.

26:25 So take responsibility for your life and know yourself an I know my career calls me a lawyer. I know my career calls me a doctor. I KNOW MY CAREER CALLS me an economist. MY CAREER CALLS ME A PHYSICIST. MY CAREER CALLS ME a philosopher. But what does he [music] the one who created me? What is his description of me? Because there are certain challenges and demands of destiny that the training of the university can't handle. >> When God curated your destiny, he knew you will go to school. But your school education was not the preparation

27:10 to handle the demands of your destiny. School can refine you. But the true equipping of your destiny are spiritual. So you MUST SEEK GOD TO FIND OUT WHAT HE CALLS YOU. This is the responsibility that MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE FAILED to commit themselves to doing. I studied chemistry. The whole scope of my destiny was to be in a lab. If I come up with anything that helps humanity, thank God. Meanwhile, when God was shaping me, my power was on my tongue to speak to the

27:56 nations. And because I was a chemist living in a nation with all the inequalities AND THE DISADVANTAGE OF WHERE I came from, the best I could have was the HOD or chemistry of a secondary school. Imagine if God didn't tell me who I was. >> [music] >> Mama, I WEAR THE LAB COAT. ENTER THE LAB. MY THOSE DAYS MY GLORY WAS THAT I could give notes without consulting books. >> I wrote equations from my head. We will stand and be you will students

28:43 we write note of 10 pages and then when class is over they are clapping. >> This one is not an ordinary teacher and then we go out like professors. NOW I THANK GOD FOR THAT SEASON BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE DOCTORS NOW BUT MA TODAY [screaming] WHEN I SPEAK SEE SOMETIMES I I'm at the airport somebody meets me I'm professor THIS I JUST CAME IN FROM SAUDI ARABIA TO SEE MY family I've seen professors of medicine and they tell you you changed my life. How how can a chemist change a profession a young one for THAT MATTER? THE OTHER DAY I WAS TRAVELING. AS I GOT TO THE AIRPORT, THE MAN ran to me. This

29:29 is the man who saved my family. The day my wife heard your message about marriage, peace came to our home. See, chemistry can't do that one. But I HAD TO SEE MYSELF FROM THE CRYSTALS OF ETERNITY. TO KNOW THAT CHEMISTRY IS A BLESSING, BUT ORDINATION IS HIGHER. ORDINATION IS HIGHER. ORDINATION IS HIGHER. ORDINATION IS HIGHER. SEE SOME OF YOU LISTENING TO ME, YOU ARE ENGINEERS. THAT'S GOOD. BUT YOUR CALLING IS TO BORROW TO NATIONS. YOU NEED A POWERFUL WEALTH THAT engineering can't give. SO THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. THANK GOD FOR WHERE GOD HAS SITUATED YOU. BUT UNTIL YOU DOWNLOAD ORDINATION, YOU CAN'T EVEN maximize where you are.

30:17 If all all of us know our equations at best the most intelligent will take over but there are other infrastructures. Before I formed you in your mother's womb I knew you. I ordained you to be a prophet to the nations by your words uproot and plant. You have authority to build civilizations and you have authority to pull civilizations down. God can even use your training but you will SEE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN DOWNLOADS THAT ARE BEYOND the things the university gave you. SO YOU MAY NOT NECESSARILY LEAVE YOUR DISCIPLINE BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE DISCOVERED YOURSELF. I know a friend who

31:03 is a medical doctor. Before he goes to to for his own clinic day, he charges in tones. Charges when he's full. He carries his Gita to the hospital. When they bring cases that he knows all the diagnosis will fail because even Messi recognizes that there are issues that don't have cure and some they can't trace the cause. He will step aside and play his guitar. He didn't leave the medical pract. But when he plays that guitar and his hands become fluid he will now come and lay hands on people [cheering] lay hands and the power of God will address issues that medical science has

31:49 not evolved to handle. I know people who are into construction. ALL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL INTELLIGENCE IS THERE. But when they have contracts, they lock themselves for three days and then they get graphic inspirations downloaded to them. Then they use their training to sculpt it out. YOU MUST KNOW YOURSELF AND YOU SEE YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE A PHENOMENON. >> In Isaiah 60:15, he say you were A DESOLATE LAND. HE SAID NO MAN WENT THROUGH YOU. HE SAID BUT I HAVE MADE YOU AN ETERNAL EXCELLENCY THE THE THE JOY NOT OF ONE GENERATION OF MANY

32:36 GENERATION. THERE ARE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR ORDINATION THAT WHEN YOU TOUCH EVEN WHEN YOU ARE long gone you'll still be a blessing. >> SO OUR LIFESPAN CANNOT be quantified by time. If we find ordination, men were designed to be [music] eternal beings. But you can only be eternal through the posterity that you draw out of your ordination. That's why you must know yourself. And you you were called this. But this is what I called you. And you know that can't happen until you build intimacy. >> Until the word of God comes to you. This is why people who are burning must rise.

33:22 He said, "Ask of me." Jeremiah 33:3. He say, "I will answer you." That's the scope of what you know. So I will begin from what you know and where you are. He said, "But this economy of interacting with me is beyond the syllabus of your mind. When I answer you, he said, then I will show you great and mighty things that you don't know >> because your life is beyond what you know part time. It is my job to upgrade you. So people who don't have the relationship with God and WHEN WE PREACH TO THEM HERE TRUSTING GOD TO SET THEM ON FIRE AND THEY DON'T EMBRACE IT, they actually doing themselves disfavor. >> There are vision. See I was with a

34:07 friend yesterday in Lagos in 2017. He was praying and the wall opened and he saw himself very polished and refined coming out. He said, "Lord, who is this?" He said, "That is who you should be now." >> And when he looked at himself and what was coming out, they were w apart. Some of us what we are celebrating now, >> we are actually still in the 1994 version as far as God's calendar is concerned. There are inspirations we should be trafficking WITH NOW. >> THERE ARE DIMENSIONS WE SHOULD BE HOSTING NOW. BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT KNOWN ourselves

34:52 from God's perspective, we cannot walk there. He say you [music] are a new creature. You are a new creature. You have never been seen before. Your kind has never existed before. Whoever is in Christ Jesus is a new creature. >> See, when the people of the world see us, they look at us with two eyes, two ears, one nose. They think we are all men. Some of us are not ordinary men. Anybody who is born of Christ ceases to be an ordinary man. And this is not my assertion. Every man on earth has two lives apart from the Christian. There is the blood life or the animal life called bios. Leviticus 17:11 is in the blood.

35:39 So every human being has that life. There is the SOOULISH LIFE THAT BREATH SUSTAINS. Genesis 2 verse 7, he breatheed into his nursery. He became a living soul. That's why all of us can understand physics and chemistry. But there's another life called Zoe in the spirit. >> Only those who have Jesus have that life. >> So we are not the same. A Christian function by three lives. So he's a different creature entirely and the the the level a Christian should function is not at his best because the standard of our functionality has already been ascribed as he is so are you in this world. So we were called to continue the possibilities that Christ

36:24 manifested. So your best is not what God is looking for. Christ in you is what God is looking for. So if you don't know this, you will confront circumstances based on your intelligence. But there's a real in you beyond your intelligence. >> UNTIL YOU ENGAGE GOD, THAT CAN'T WAKE UP. YOU WERE CALLED TO REVEAL JESUS by preaching if necessary. But beyond preaching through your lifestyle and manifestations, >> if it was not there, God wouldn't say it. Jesus himself was talking in John 14:12. He said the works that I do, he say you shall do also. And he said greater works than shall he do. So you are supposed to do greater than what Jesus has done.

37:10 >> Is that something that philosophy can impart? >> Is that something that CHEMISTRY CAN IMPART? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. ONLY GOD CAN IMPART IT. THIS IS WHY WHEN WE ARE BURNING AND SEEKING HIS FACE IS BECAUSE WE ALL WITH OPEN FACES BEHOLDING AS IN A GLASS THE glory of the Lord we are changed. There is a spiritual metamorphosis that takes place. You become more and more like him. SO WHEN YOU TALK THEY know that although you you have some measure of wisdom but this one is not coming from the realm of men. Everybody will recognize that it's not flesh and blood that's at work in you. There's an ancient spirit talking through you. That's why your results defy your gender, defy your age, defy

37:56 your race. There are certain things you say, they think only the white man should say it. [music] Then when they trace it, you said it. And when they come, you say more. A point comes, they sit down and say, "Teach us." That's what God wants to do. And that is when Christianity will become interesting. Every day you wake up, you see different versions of God. But the question is, what level of intimacy are you contending for? Because these things are not in yourself. They are activated in you by your interaction with God. We are like the moon. We get our light from the sun. What level of obedience are you contending for? BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS HE WON'T SHOW YOU ABOUT YOURSELF UNTIL

38:41 you obey. Yeah. >> THE VISIONS OF GOD ARE AT HIS destinations of obedience. If you don't obey, you can't know it. IF YOU DON'T ENGAGE IN INTIMACY, YOU CAN'T KNOW IT. AND SATAN UNDERSTANDS. THAT'S WHY SATAN KNOWS THAT IF YOU METAMOPAUSE, he's in trouble. And he KNOWS HE CAN'T STOP THAT PROCESS. SO WHAT HE DOES IS TO STOP YOU FROM ACTIVATING that process. [music] >> So where there is need for intimacy, he brings distraction and sin. Where there's need for obedience, he brings suggestions of disobedience. >> WHERE THERE IS NEED TO GET LIGHT, HE GIVES YOU garment of heaviness. So you want to read the Bible, you read two verses, you yawn and sleep. But when you are watching a movie, you are there for 8 hours.

39:29 YOU LISTEN TO MESSAGE 30 MINUTES, YOU SAY THIS PERSON WOULDN'T FINISH AGAIN. BUT YOU SIT ON MOVIE WHEN ONE SCENE IS FINISHED YOU SAY AH AH WHY DID HE FINISH SO SOON YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS A SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE BEHIND THE SCENE STOPPING YOU FROM ACTIVATING SOMETHING listen as you LEAVE THIS MEETING WHATEVER PUSH YOU REQUIRE TO ACTIVATE INTIMACY ACTIVATE OBEDIENCE ACTIVATE THE SEARCH FOR LIGHT IT REST UPON YOU now [cheering] See some of you will LEAVE THIS MEETING THE BURDEN FOR FASTING WILL HIT YOU. >> SOME OF YOU WILL LEAVE THIS MEETING APPETITE FOR THE WORD WILL HIT YOU. YOU

40:14 WILL READ YOU WILL LISTEN YOU WILL NOT BE TIRED. SOME OF YOU WILL LEAVE THIS PLACE ANYTIME GOD WHISPERS YOU already running in that direction because there's something on go of God in you that must wake up. >> This is why we came here tonight. And under this uncction, standing with mama in faith, I decree, let that awakening happen. Now, >> please sit down. We have different god dimensions. In 2 Peter 1:3 and 4, he say according as his divine power, he has given us all things that pertain. He didn't say he will give us, he has given us all things that pertain to life. See, there's no

41:01 body here that will lack anything he requires in life from THIS DAY. >> ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND TO GODLINESS. HE SAID, "BUT IS THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE, the epicnosis, the experience of him that has called us to what? >> To glory and virtue." So, anything less than glory is not you. >> That's why I'm telling you, know yourself and knew. >> Anything less than glory, that's not yet you. >> You are still processing. When you finish processing, all you will see in your life is divinity expressed through humanity. That's why in verse four of that scripture, he said, "He has given us exceeding great and precious promises that we might become partakers of his

41:47 divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through Lord." See, when you manifest wisdom, it will be greater than the wisdom of Solomon. It will be the wisdom of Christ. WHEN YOU MANIFEST POWER, IT WILL BE GREATER THAN WHAT Samson did. IT WILL BE THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST. ANYWHERE YOU GO, YOU WILL leave the imprints of God. And men will know that whoever came here is either [music] God himself that came or someone who carried him. And forever and ever, your impact will not be for forgotten. I just prophesy to someone.
