7 Areas God Wants You To Grow || Apostle Michael Orokpo #shortsfeed #apostlemichaelorokpo #shorts

0:00 Those days I was small, in a place called Katsina-Ala local government in Benue State. There was a woman selling bean cake. All these Is it [laughter] akara or moi moi now? You will see your akara people more than 200 we pack. You wash your plate by yourself. Nobody has time to wash plate for you. STUDENTS WILL QUEUE UP, AKARA PEOPLE WILL QUEUE UP, DRIVERS WILL QUEUE UP. ALL OF US ARE RUSHING. YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE LINING UP WAITING for somebody to eat so that they will carry the plate and wash and take it to be served and THEY PAY. AND ALL OF US WERE DOING IT. ALL INCLUDING ME. I WAS A LITTLE BOY. WE WILL BUY AND TAKE TO SCHOOL. ONE DAY A CATHOLIC PRIEST CAME AND HE WAS CALLED THE Holy Ghost Father. AS HE WAS MINISTERING THAT NIGHT, THEY HAD A NOVENA. THE Holy Ghost came on the woman and she began to confess. She was using the hand of a child to turn the food and they used to give her oil from human body to put inside.

0:51 >> [bell] >> So, LET ME SHOW YOU SEVEN AREAS OF MORE. NUMBER ONE, MORE KNOWLEDGE of God. So, when we are talking about more, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MORE knowledge of God because the knowledge of God is inexhaustible. The Bible said his ways are past finding out. The more you know, the more there is to know. That's why Paul said in Philippians 3:10. This was an apostle for many years. He said that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING BEING MADE conformable to him, to his death. Now, you know how you know you are growing in the knowledge of God? It's not that you have one or two scriptures we are quoting. It's that you are becoming more like Christ because

1:37 when you know him, you are conformed. The instrument of vetting the degree to which you know God is your transformation. The knowledge of God is not about quoting scripture. That's the job of theologians. The instrument of knowing God is your degree of Christ-likeness. It's your degree of transformation. Paul said, "If I know him, I'll be made conformable." And the Bible said we all, 2 Corinthians 3:18, with unveiled face, beholding as in a glass, the glory of the Lord, they said we are changed. So, when we are saying there is more, it means we look at our lives, there are still areas of our life that is not yet like Jesus Christ. So, we know we need more knowledge. Praise God. So, the first area of more is in the area of the knowledge of God. And if you know God, MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN, but two will stand out. Number one, you are transformed to Christ-likeness. And

2:24 number two, you build power for exploits. It is a day that do know their God, they shall be strong. I'm telling you, when you know God, you will be shocked at the propensities that will be woken in you. The knowledge OF GOD IMPARTS POWER AND DOMINION. THEY that do know their God, they shall be strong, and they shall do exploits. You cannot God and be weak. It's impossible to know God and be weak. It cannot happen. Something about God will wake up on your inside. That's why he said, "You shall know the truth, the truth shall make you free." YOU ENTER A dimension where nothing can hold YOU TO CAPTIVITY. NOTHING CAN HOLD YOU TO RANSOM. THAT KNOWLEDGE LITERALLY MAKES GOD TO be awoken on your inside. And so, when we say there is more, we are referring to more knowledge, more

3:10 experience of God. I'M NOT TALKING, "OH, I WENT TO A THEOLOGY SCHOOL. I HAVE A a bachelor's degree in theology." That's not WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. YOU CAN BECOME A BIBLE SCHOLAR, YOU CAN DEFEND certain positions OF SCRIPTURE. I'M TALKING about experiencing God. John said in 1 John chapter 1 verse 1 and 2, "That which was from the beginning, which we heard, which we saw, which we looked upon, and our hands handled of the word of life." I'm talking experience, handling dimensions of God until it becomes your definition. That's what God wants you and I to keep growing in. So, when God is telling YOU MORE, THE FIRST AREA of more is that you need more of God. You need more of God's knowledge. And the proof that you have is that transformation will be on the increase. Empowerment will be on the increase because if you know him you

3:57 become like him. Number two, AREA OF MORE IS MORE ACCESS IN THE SPIRIT. THERE ARE VIRGIN REALMS IN THE SPIRIT. WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU HAVE HEARD OF OR SEEN, there are dimensions that men have not entered. And the more you excavate into the realms of God, the more you will see that there ARE VIRGIN IMAGINE AFTER ALL THAT ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, MOSES, DAVID, SAMSON, AFTER ALL THEY HAVE SEEN, AFTER ALL PETER AND ALL THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS HAVE SEEN, PAUL NOW COMES LATER AND is telling us in 1 Corinthians 2:9 that eyes have not seen. So, WE HAVE SEEN SOMETHING. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? ABRAHAM WAS THE FATHER OF ALL NATIONS. MOSES ENTERED THE STRONGEST KINGDOM ON EARTH CALLED EGYPT WITHOUT AN ARMY, SHUT IT DOWN WITH 10 PLAGUES. ELIJAH CALLED

4:44 DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN. JOSHUA COMMANDED THE SUN TO STAND STILL. THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE DOCUMENTED. >> [music] >> DAVID HOSTED THE SHEKINAH GLORY FOR 38 YEARS. THE TEMPLE WAS OPEN. EVERYBODY could come to see the glory of God. ALL OF THESE DIMENSIONS HAVE BEEN WROUGHT AND you say eyes have not seen. Ears have not heard. So, what does this dimension look like? THAT MEANS EVERYTHING WE HAVE SEEN IS NOTHING. That's why the Bible said behind them is a desolate wilderness and before them is the garden of the Lord. THAT MEANS CALLING DOWN FIRE IS NOTHING COMPARED to what is ahead. THAT MEANS TAKING A NATION IS NOTHING compared to what is ahead. Imagine Elijah was by located. Philip was by located. THEY TRAVELED WITHOUT CHARIOTS AND THE BIBLE STILL SAY EYES HAVE NOT SEEN. How can you now

5:31 relax? Meanwhile, you have not called down fire. You have not by located. You have not walked on water. You have not taken your local government and you relax? NO, THERE'S MORE. TELL SOMEBODY THERE IS MORE. AND YOU YOU THE BEAUTY OF IT? YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE IT. AND HE HAS NO REGARD FOR AGE. HE HAS NO REGARD FOR RACE. HE HAS NO REGARD FOR GENDER. THE BIBLE SAID, "WOMEN RECEIVED THEIR DEAD BACK TO LIFE." SO, WHEN WE ARE TALKING DIMENSIONS OF THE SPIRIT, DON'T TELL ME YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT APOSTLES AND PROPHETS. I'm not talking TO BISHOPS. I'M TALKING TO CHILDREN OF GOD WHO ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE. The first time I had an encounter, it wasn't in the church. I was in the house with my mother in the evening. Every evening, my mother will lie down, sing, and praise God for at least 3 hours. And she would always drag me to sing with

6:17 her. I hated the experience. IF SHE'S GOING FOR BIBLE STUDY, SHE WOULD DRAG ME. AND SOME OF THESE BIBLE STUDIES WITH WOMEN. YOU WILL SEE 50 WOMEN SIT DOWN. SHE WILL TELL ME TO BE READING THE the Good News Bible, the Catholic Good News Bible. I'll be reading, she'll be interpreting. And I'll be the only boy there. Meanwhile, THIS IS THE HOUR WHERE WE SHOULD GO AND PLAY FOOTBALL. I WAS IRRITATED. BUT ONE OF THOSE EVENINGS, as she was singing, and I was singing with her, the heavens opened. And I saw a golden throne. A man-like creature sat on it with a crown. And a woman knelt down and was presenting the child. Little vision. I tapped her, "Mommy, look, look, look." Before she turned, he covered. And then she told me that she dedicated me to God. Do you know where God called me from? I

7:03 was in a nightclub dancing. In a nightclub. I was going in the direction of a vagabond because I was stubborn. And I heard, "The wages of sin is death." The woman had conjured things with God too much for me to be lost. So, even when I didn't choose God, she chose God on my behalf. I'M NOT WHEN I'M TELLING YOU THERE IS MORE OF GOD, I'M NOT TALKING TO PASTORS. SOME OF YOU WOMEN LOOKING AT ME HERE, YOUR BEDROOM WILL BECOME MORE MORE SACRED THAN HOREB. YOU WILL CONJURE PRAYERS. THAT'S WHERE YOU LIE DOWN. ALL YOUR TEARS IN PRAYER WILL REST THERE. YOUR HEART WILL BE POURED OUT THERE. A DAY WILL COME, EVEN AFTER YOU ARE LONG GONE, YOUR CHILDREN WILL ENTER YOUR BEDROOM, AND THEY WILL HAVE ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. HE SAID WOMEN RECEIVE THEIR DEAD BACK TO

7:49 LIFE. YOU KNOW WHY THOSE THINGS ARE WRITTEN? The Bible said in Romans 15:4, the things that are written a foretime, they were written for our learning so that we through patience and comfort OF THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT HAVE HOPE. GOD WROTE IT TO TELL YOU that you too can do it. There was a woman called Deborah who could judge a nation. It means there are many more Deborahs here. There's a woman called Esther who carried FAVOR AND COULD UTTER GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES until salvation is brought to the church. It means there are women here who are after the order of Esther and who can do more. These things are written to let you know that you too can do it. There's more. Whatever you have seen in God, whatever you have read, whatever encounters you have had, NEVER GET SATISFIED. THE BIBLE said remember not the former thing. He said behold I will do a new thing. Don't

8:35 be lost in your Horeb encounter. There's another encounter beyond the Jordan. There is more. THERE'S MORE. DIMENSIONS, VIRGIN. HE SAID ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE. There is more. See, in this meeting tonight, I don't know the area that your destiny is calling for. Some of you will pray for more of God. SOME OF YOU WILL PRAY FOR MORE DIMENSIONS BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, THE NATIONS ARE CALLING YOU. BUT WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, THIS VERSION OF YOU CAN'T TAKE NATIONS. >> [music] >> SO YOU NEED to apprehend SOMETHING IN GOD. SOME OF YOU EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, GOD IS SHOWING YOU THAT THERE ARE CRUSADES YOU NEED TO SPONSOR ACROSS THE NATIONS. THERE ARE CHURCHES YOU NEED TO BUILD. SOME OF YOU EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, GOD IS SHOWING YOU THERE ARE CHILDREN YOU NEED TO TAKE OFF THE STREETS. GOD IS SHOWING YOU THERE ARE ORPHANAGES YOU NEED TO BUILD. BUT YOU ARE STRUGGLING, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A JOB. THAT MEANS THERE IS A WISDOM YOU

9:21 MUST APPREHEND. THERE'S A DIMENSION of favor YOU MUST CATCH. THERE IS AN INFLUENCE YOU MUST TOUCH SO THAT THESE POSSIBILITIES WILL MIGRATE FROM YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS AND BECOME YOUR PHYSICAL REALITY. There's more. There's more. And somebody will ENTER TONIGHT. NUMBER THREE, DIMENSION OF MORE IS MORE POWER. THERE ARE MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND WONDERS THAT GOD wants you and I to manifest. Isaiah said, "I and the children the Lord has given to me." He said, "We are for signs and we are FOR WONDERS." EVERY ONE OF US IS DESIGNATED TO WALK in the miraculous. The miraculous is not for apostles and prophets. You know, today you find Christians, gullible Christians, in their mind they think they are challenging pastors and they are saying they should go to the hospital if they claim these miracles are real.

10:08 You know what that says? Number one, it means they are they are fake Christians. Because the Bible didn't say apostles and prophets will do miracles. He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." If you don't have miracles so much that you even doubt the existence of miracles, it means your Christianity is fake. Because it didn't say only a few apostles should have miracles. He said everybody who calls himself a believer, he said these signs should follow him. It means you have not seen one sign and it means you are so backward in the things of the spirit that you think those things are fake. And number two, what it means is that you don't know the scripture. You know, the Bible said they err because they don't know the scripture. When you read your Bible, did Jesus go to the hospital? Did Peter go to the hospital? Did Paul go to the hospital? WE DON'T DO MIRACLES to prove to you that we are something.

10:54 Miracle is an expression of God's compassion for a dying world. We don't do what we want. We do patterns that were replicated in scripture. If Jesus didn't go to the hospital, Peter didn't go to the hospital, we won't stand up going to the hospital to prove to you that miracles are real. You are nothing. YOU CAN'T HOLD THE CHURCH TO RANSOM TO PROVE A point to you. You are nothing. If Jesus didn't prove it to the Pharisees, PETER DIDN'T PROVE IT, is it you will come and prove it to Meanwhile, the hospital is an institution of ITS OWN HEADED BY A DOCTOR. THE CHURCH IS AN INSTITUTION OF ITS OWN HEADED by the Holy Spirit. IS IT THE CHURCH THAT SHOULD GO TO IS it the Holy Spirit that should go to a doctor or is it a doctor that should come to the HOLY SPIRIT? FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL, NOW READ YOUR

11:39 BIBLE. FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL, IS THE HOSPITAL THAT COMES TO CHURCH. THAT'S WHY WHEN JESUS HEALS THEM, HE SAID, "GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR AND PROVE AND SHOW YOURSELF TO THE PHYSICIAN." I'M NOT THE ONE TO GO TO A DOCTOR. WHAT I'M DOING HERE IS HIGHER THAN MEDICAL SCIENCE. PRAISE GOD. AND BY THE MERCY OF GOD, MANY DOCTORS HAVE BEEN HEALED. MANY DOCTORS. A CONSULTANT IS ONE OF THOSE WHO GOES FOR medical outreach in my in in our church in Abuja. He was healed of cancer. I was in Pakistan. A MEDICAL DOCTOR was healed of a cyst. I'VE SEEN MANY DOCTORS HEALED. BUT IF YOU DOUBT IT, I HAVE NOTHING TO TELL YOU. YOU WILL BELIEVE IT WHEN YOU MEET JESUS. DID YOU NOT READ YOUR BIBLE?

12:25 THE SHEKINAH FOLLOWED ISRAEL FOR 40 DAYS, 40 YEARS. YET, THEY still doubted God. A MAN WHO CHOOSES TO DOUBT WILL KEEP DOUBTING. AND JESUS DIDN'T TELL ME TO USE MIRACLES TO convince you. He said we should use the word. And for you to doubt miracles, it means you doubt the efficacy of the gospel. Because beyond the anointing that we carry, the gospel is the power that produces miracle. MIRACLES ARE PROOFS that Jesus is alive. SO, IF YOU DOUBT MIRACLES, IT MEANS you doubt that Jesus is alive. BECAUSE WHEN WE GO, WE DON'T do the miracles in OUR NAME. WE CALL on our Jesus who has paid for it and who is alive. And he responds because he's alive. The difference between Jesus and all the other gods, and I don't want to call any name to offend any religion, is that our

13:10 own God is alive. And he proves it by answering us when we call him today. So, it's a pity when you SEE CHRISTIANS CHALLENGING BECAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH PASTORS. THEY THINK THE SUBJECT IS ABOUT PASTORS. IT'S BEYOND PASTORS. YOU ARE A FAKE CHRISTIAN. YOU DON'T KNOW the scripture. And you are undermining the church because it's not the church that goes to the hospital. It's the hospital that comes to the church. You can't undermine the church of Jesus like that. But my point here this evening is THAT AN AREA WHERE God wants us to press for more is in the area of the demonstration of power. Paul said, "When I came on to you, I did not come with excellency of speech." 1 Corinthians 2:1-4. "Declaring on to you the counsel of God." He said, "I was with you in fear and trembling. I choose to know nothing among you save Christ and him crucified. My teaching

13:57 and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom. They were the demonstration of the spirit and power." In 1 Corinthians 4:20 said, "The kingdom of God is not in words, it's in power." SO, WHATEVER YOU have seen, God is saying there is what? He walked on water, but he turned to you and said you can do more. He raised the dead, he turned to you and said you can do more. He turned WATER TO WINE, HE TURNED TO YOU AND SAID YOU CAN do more. THIS IS WHY YOU CANNOT BE SATISFIED. SEE, WHEN I PREACH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO remember testimonies. BECAUSE I TELL MYSELF, I NEVER CAUGHT JESUS RECITING ANY TESTIMONY. YESTERDAY is already TOO LATE, TOO FAR FOR ME TO REMEMBER. IF GOD WILL DO IT NOW, WHY BOTHER myself with yesterday? Now, THERE IS A TIME WHEN WE SHARE TESTIMONIES to inspire people's faith. But the word of GOD CAN EQUALLY INSPIRE YOUR FAITH. EVERYWHERE I

14:43 GO TO, I see the power of God. My prayer now is to see more. Glory to God. But you must MAKE UP YOUR MIND. AND WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT POWER, WE ARE NOT TALKING GETTING PEOPLE HEALED IN CHURCH OR IN A crusade ground. See that your business in this power. THERE IS A DIMENSION OF POWER YOU CARRY. YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE IN THE DARK WORLD understand power more than us. It's only a CHRISTIAN THAT THINKS POWER is people falling down in church. DO YOU THINK ALL THESE WICKED PEOPLE IN DARKNESS, THEY CARE whether somebody FALL DOWN? THE GUY GOES to bury a veggie, AND WHEN HE ENTERS HIS SHOP, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, IF YOU ENTER THE MARKET, you must look for his shop. And then YOU SEE PEOPLE GATHER. IT'S POWER AT WORK. [screaming] THOSE DAYS WHEN WE WERE SMALL IN A PLACE CALLED KATSINA local government in Benue State, there was a woman selling bean cake. All these uh

15:29 Aka Is it akara moi moi now? You will see akara people more than 200 we pack. You wash your PLATE BY YOURSELF. NOBODY has time to wash plate for you. STUDENTS WILL QUEUE UP, AKARA PEOPLE WILL QUEUE UP, DRIVERS WILL QUEUE UP. ALL OF US ARE RUSHING. YOU SEE PEOPLE LINING UP WAITING for somebody to eat so that they will carry the plate and wash and take IT TO BE SERVED AND THEY PAY. AND ALL OF US WERE DOING IT. ALL INCLUDING ME. I WAS A LITTLE BOY. WE WOULD BUY AND TAKE TO SCHOOL. ONE DAY A CATHOLIC PRIEST CAME AND HE WAS CALLED THE HOLY GHOST FATHER. AS HE WAS MINISTERING THAT NIGHT, THEY HAD A NOVENA. THE HOLY GHOST CAME on the woman and she began to confess. She was using the hand of a child to

16:16 turn the food. And they used to give her oil from human body to put inside. So what she was cooking was an a CONJURED MEAL. THAT OIL IS WHAT you perceive and in the night you can't sleep. You are waiting for daybreak TO GO THERE. THAT'S POWER. YOU YOU FIND A CHRISTIAN, HE'S DOING BUSINESS. HE SAID THE COMPETITION IS TOO MUCH. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FAVOR OF GOD? DON'T YOU KNOW THAT FAVOR CAN BREAK PROTOCOLS? YOU WE DON'T KNOW POWER. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF 200 PEOPLE ARE DOING IT. WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT, YOU ARE DIFFERENT. THE BIBLE SAY YOU ARE A CITY SET UPON THE HILL THAT CANNOT BE HID. HE SAY YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. YOU SHINE. YOU SHINE. HE SAY GENTILES COME TO YOUR LIGHT. HE

17:01 SAY KINGS COME TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR RISING. SEE, PEOPLE SHOULD TRAVEL FROM NATIONS TO LOOK FOR YOU. >> [music] >> THAT IS POWER. POWER IS NOT JUST PEOPLE FALLING UNDER THE ANOINTING. SEE, YOU listen to this kind OF MESSAGE, YOU GO BACK TO YOUR JOB AND THEN DOORS BEGIN TO OPEN. THAT'S POWER. THAT'S POWER. >> [music] >> HOW HOW DO YOU THINK WE CAN TAKE OVER THIS WORLD IF WE ARE running at the frequency the world is running? We have to be many MILEAGE AHEAD OF THEM SO THAT WE CAN COVER GROUNDS AND ESTABLISH KINGDOM. AND SO THERE IS MORE. Is it your children that will be kidnapped? How is THAT POSSIBLE? EVERY DAY THEY GO TO SCHOOL YOU LAY hands on them.

17:47 You say the sun shall not smite upon thee. SEE, THERE'S NO EVIL that can happen to you. Your steps are ordered by the Lord. YOU ARE LIKE the wind that is invincible. See, I HAVE COMPASSION FOR those who are attacked, who are oppressed. And by the grace of God I lend my voice to back governance. I lend my my voice as much as God has helped me. So I'm not talking now on those who are in captivity and I'm not saying they're not good enough Christian. But see, we operate by different rules. How can you be involved in an accident? If I'm going to enter that car something WILL STOP ME. I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT SOMETHING WILL STOP ME. I'M TELLING YOU, IF DISCERNMENT DOES NOT WORK, FAVOR WILL WORK. If favor does not work, mercy will work. IF MERCY DOES NOT WORK, MY FAITH WILL STOP IT.

18:35 DISCERNMENT WILL TELL YOU DON'T ENTER. BUT IF YOU MISS DISCERNMENT AND ENTER, MERCY PREVAILS OVER JUDGMENT. AND IN CASE MERCY DOES NOT WORK, BY FAITH, PEACE BE STILL. THIS GREAT DESTINY YOU HAVE, ONE STUPID DRIVER WHO GETS DRUNK will will knock you off the road and YOU JUST DIE LIKE THAT? NO, WE DON'T DIE LIKE THAT. WE FULFILL OUR DESTINY. WHEN WE FINISH, WE BLESS OUR CHILDREN AND WE GATHER OURSELVES ONTO GOD. GO AND READ ABOUT THE PATRIARCHS. THE BIBLE SAID, "AND JACOB BLESSED HIS CHILDREN." WHEN HE WAS DONE, he said he gathered himself onto his fathers. When you finish your assignment, you bless your children, YOU TRANSFER INHERITANCE, BOTH BIOLOGICAL and spiritual, and then you transit to glory. No vagabond will kill me.

19:23 I WON'T BE A PRODUCT OF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. THAT BULLET WILL NOT COME OUT. I'm talking TO YOU ABOUT POWER. BUT YOU SEE, YOU MUST INSIST on it. THERE'S MORE. THAT'S WHY YOU NEED MORE POWER. IF YOU DON'T INSIST ON IT, IT WON'T HAPPEN. THE BIBLE SAID IN PHILEMON 1:6, HE SAID that the communication of your faith should become EFFECTUAL BY THE ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. That means these things are real, but you can only experience it if you contend for it. >> [music] >> So when you see Christians die carelessly, it's not because there's no salvation, there's no deliverance, THERE IS. PROBABLY, THEY didn't contend for it. If you see Christians disfavored, they didn't contend for something. SEE, EVERY PROBLEM YOU HAVE is not the problem. Those problems are indicators that

20:09 there's something you have not insisted on. >> [music] >> And I'm not talking to you as a novice. I'm talking to you as one who has fought many battles. People expect that we should have failed and finished, but we keep rising. Because you we have what you say. If you don't contend, it won't happen. If you keep quiet, your destiny will be snatched from you. This is why you insist on power. SEE, I'M TRUSTING GOD THAT A day will come that if I enter a meeting like this, even without talking, people will have encounters. Demons will be cast out. Miracles will happen. I'm trusting God that even when I meet people casually and shake them, their lives will turn around. These are the things I contemplate in my place of prayer. Because I want to be a blessing to my generation. God gave me a scripture in

20:55 Isaiah 60:15. He said you were a desolate land. He said no man went through you. He said I have made you an eternal excellency, the joy of many generation. I am trusting God that a day will come that even after I am long gone, when people come to where I live they should have encounter. You need power. You need power. You can't be a blessing without it. So when we say there's more, we are talking about what? POWER. NUMBER FOUR. ARE YOU TAKING NOTE OF THESE THINGS? MORE OF GOD, MORE ACCESS IN THE SPIRIT, MORE POWER. AND THEN NUMBER FOUR, WHEN WE SAY THERE IS MORE, WE ARE TALKING FRUITFULNESS. More impact and more resources.

21:43 Because fruitfulness is first of all impact before it is resources. Now God created man, created the whole earth, created a beautiful garden, and the first thing God said is be fruitful. That means fruitfulness is beyond surplus. It is first of all impact. Then that impact results in more surplus. So when we say there is more, it means there is more fruitfulness. Your life should become more impactful. In any sphere God has put you, if you are in ministry, it's time for your voice to go beyond Lagos. >> [music] >> If you are IN BUSINESS, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO OUTGROW THAT KIOSK. Become a supermarket. BEGIN TO HAVE BRANCHES ACROSS THE STATES AND ACROSS THE NATION.

22:28 Anything God does, except if he insists, anything God does is both global and eternal. >> [music] >> It said whatsoever the Lord doeth, it shall abide forever, it's eternal. And he said begin from Jerusalem to Judea, to Samaria, to the uttermost part of the earth. Unless under specific prophetic instruction, you are not permitted to be localized. God can choose to specifically tell you to be localized. That's not a doctrine, that's a PERSONAL DEALING. BUT OUTSIDE SPECIFIC PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION, anything God does is both eternal and is global. The impact must increase. THE RESOURCES MUST INCREASE. LOOK AT THE MEN GOD DEALT WITH IN SCRIPTURE. ABRAHAM alone had 318 trained servants

23:16 that could go to war. We are not counting children and their wives. How many persons were in his household? 318. The guy was a nation. >> [music] >> Look at THE LIFE OF JACOB. 10 TIMES LABAN cheated him, but he couldn't diminish the guy. When Jacob was leaving Laban, Jacob was 10 times greater than Laban. See, IF YOU GET SATISFIED, your blessing stop. See, tell yourself, in this neighborhood, IT'S MY SHOP THAT PROVIDE BASIC AMENITIES FOR THE PEOPLE, but I have to outgrow this neighborhood. I have to begin to supply Lagos. I have to begin to supply Africa.

24:02 IT IS POSSIBLE, AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU BECAUSE MY message is the forces THAT PROVOKE MORE. BECAUSE ANYTHING GOD PROMISED YOU, YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY to bring it to pass. BUT I'M FIRST OF ALL SHOWING YOU THE POSSIBILITIES, so that WHEN I START TALKING about what to do, you will know the dimensions I'm referring to. Quit looking at your age. Quit looking at your gender. You can be 90 and be impacting the world, and you can be 15 and impact the world. It's out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have ordained strength. DON'T LOOK AT YOUR GENDER. YOU WHETHER YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE DOES NOT MATTER. THE FACTORS that make this thing happen have no regard for age, for race, or for gender. Today, by the message of God, many races work for us. >> [music] >> And they are honored to do so.

24:50 So, what I'm talking here is not I'm black, how much can I do? What I'm talking to you here is more powerful than geopolitics. >> [music] >> Glory to God. >> HALLELUJAH. SO, IMPACT IN THE AREA OF WHAT? FRUITFULNESS. Increase in the area of fruitfulness. That is impact AND MORE RESOURCES. THEN, TERRITORIES. WHEN GOD SAID THERE IS MORE, HE'S REFERRING TO TERRITORIES. GOD IS A GOD OF TERRITORIES. Read the book OF JOSHUA. JOSHUA CONQUERED 21 KINGDOMS. And he thought he had done so much. And God said, "Ah, you are old as you can age. See, the land is before you." >> [music] >> YOU ARE OLD, BUT THERE'S MORE. THERE'S MORE. THERE ARE MORE TERRITORIES TO TAKE. THERE ARE MORE TERRITORIES. SEE, DON'T

25:35 BE SATISFIED. SOMEBODY SAID YOUR COMFORT ZONE IS YOUR FIRST GRAVE. OH, we have arrived. We've gotten this. Let's settle. No, you never settle. You keep pressing. In Psalm 2:8, he said, "Ask of me and I will give you the heathen for an INHERITANCE AND THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH FOR thy possession." I just came back from Fiji Island. And I'm going back there next year to plant a work. Fiji is 11 hours ahead of Nigeria. So, 6:00 a.m. here is 5:00 p.m. there. When you are When I went there, my body was trying to understand where it is. I'm telling you. When you reach Australia, THEN YOU NOW FLY 4 HOURS TO GET TO FIJI. MEANWHILE,

26:22 Australia is the end of the earth. I FLEW 6 HOURS 30 MINUTES TO DOHA AND THEN FLEW 14 hours non-stop to Melbourne. SO, I'M TALKING 30 HOURS OF FLIGHT. THEN, YOU NOW FLY 4 HOURS TO GO TO FIJI ISLAND. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH. He said they that turn many to righteousness, they shall shine as the brightness OF THE FIRMAMENT. DANIEL 12:3. HARVEST. SEE, WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH LIKE THIS, LOOK AROUND AND IDENTIFY people you brought in. Ah, I want that one on the street of Lagos. She was a harlot. Ah, I saw that one in the market. I brought him. They're on fire now. Ah, I brought that person. He's a banker. Look around and

27:07 see your sons and daughters. People that your life impacted and you brought TO THE KINGDOM. DON'T SPEND 168 hours in a week and you have not influenced one human being. What kind of life are you living? >> [music] >> 168 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE HAS not influenced one person. No, it's not right. Jesus told us to bring in the harvest. And there are kedahs. Matthew 28 verse 18 to 20. He said, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go into all nations and disciple them." The word nation is the word ethnos. It means your immediate sphere of influence. You can begin with your family and your friends. Some of my friends that went to club with me are now serving God with me. AND THEN NUMBER TWO, MATTHEW 24:14. THIS

27:55 GOSPEL OF THE kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness. Then the end will come. World is the word oikoumene. It means systems and empires. You'll begin with your friends and family, then you start impacting established institutions. It's all about the harvest. THEN MARK 16:15. THE GOSPEL SHOULD BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. cosmos It means the whole earth. So, you begin from your peer pressure, from your family to systems, then the whole earth. And then, Isaiah 60:15. You will be the joy of many generation. Even after you are long gone, whatever came out of you will still be winning souls. But you need to cry for harvest. I read the story of St. Patrick. I read the story of men like John Knox who cried to God

28:40 to give them city or take their lives. Such men can never be forgotten. Don't go back to Jesus after all he did for you and there's nobody in the kingdom on your account. The Bible said if you don't produce fruits, he said the father will cut you off. It means you are a wasted investment. Because the blood of Jesus is an investment and God expects return on investment. Preach the gospel. If you can't preach TO PEOPLE, PRAY THEM into the kingdom. FOCUS ON ONE DRUNKARD. FOCUS on one HARLOT AND PRAY UNTIL that person receives an encounter. AND THEN IF YOU CAN'T PRAY, GIVE YOUR MONEY. LET THOSE WHO ARE GOING GO and do the work. BUT BY ALL MEANS there should be your involvement in soul winning. You go, you preach, you pray, and you give. And then if you can't do all four.

29:26 What souls be won? We are on a project of winning 5 million souls now. We have almost hit 3 million. This is one area where we invest in. Because the Bible said if one soul is won, he said heaven rejoice. >> [music] >> Labor in that area. When we say more we are talking beyond your immediate needs. God too has a need. He died to save humanity and you must partner with him to ensure that is achieved. Where is the time? How much How many more minutes do I have? My Lord and my God. I didn't know they love God like this in Lagos. I thought this kind of passion is in the

30:11 north. I think the father's church has changed my mind. I'm not prophesying. I'm not praying for the sick and you are you are you still want to hear more? This is amazing. Give the Lord a big hand. INSTEAD OF GATHERING, YOU ARE FIGHTING IN THE CHOIR. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE TO SING. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? IN THIS CONFERENCE, THEY promised me that I was supposed to take opening prayer. When the time came, I didn't take. Is it this small platform that you want to kill yourself when the whole LAGOS IS AVAILABLE? >> [cheering] >> IF YOU CAN PRAY SO MUCH, TELL GOD'S SERVANT THERE ARE MANY PLACES HE WILL SEND YOU TO.

30:58 AND YOU FIND PEOPLE KEEP MALICE FOR 3 MONTHS. I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAD PRAYER. THEY THEY MY GOD. >> [laughter] >> LAGOS IS BIG. AND THEN THERE'S NIGERIA. THEN THERE'S WEST AFRICA. THEN THERE'S AFRICA. AND YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR ONE ORDER. >> [screaming] >> POSSESS TERRITORIES. DON'T LIMIT YOUR VISION. OH, [screaming] LORD, THANK YOU. THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE TO DO THE WORK HERE NOW. SEND ME SOMEWHERE ELSE. >> [music] >> YOU HAVE RAISED MEN HERE. SEND ME SOMEWHERE ELSE. I JUST CAME BACK FROM AUSTRALIA. MY PA THAT has been with me for 22 years, we were friends. I left him in Sydney. I

31:45 said, "You have traveled with me enough. Stay here and start living your own life." >> [laughter] >> HE JUST GOT A HALL IN SYDNEY. LEAVE YOUR destiny there. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING. CAN YOU IMAGINE? HE WAS part of us. He now took the branch. Who's talking about branch? The whole world IS YOUR PARISH. IF HE VIOLATES THE PRINCIPLE OF THE KINGDOM, HE will dry up. AND IF GOD TELLS HIM TO SUPPORT HIM, IT MEANS YOU ARE ENLARGED. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR NOTHING WHEN THERE ARE TERRITORIES TO BE TAKEN. THERE ARE TERRITORIES. IT'S NOT EVERYBODY THAT CATCHES FIRE THAT IS ordained a prophet. We need apostles in the hospital. WE NEED APOSTLES IN THE MARKET. EVERYBODY

32:32 HAS A PART TO PLAY. >> [music] >> I was with Evangelist W. A. Let's go a few weeks ago in London and I met a man who is a senior person in Fidelity Bank. Today, they organize prayers periodically in the bank. The GM attends. The GM. They want me to come and speak to them in September. Bank. So, even bank, somebody can bring kingdom there. You can BRING KINGDOM. I PREACH IN DIFFERENT MARKETS. THEY WILL SHUT DOWN on a Thursday or Saturday and bring me to preach. AND I TOLD THEM I won't come here again. You people raise people among yourself to take over the market. I have places to go to. >> [music] >> Take territories.

33:20 He has given the earth to the sons OF MEN. WHERE IS YOUR own portion? So, have physical land and then have influence over systems. That's what I'm saying. Have physical land and then have influence over systems, over nations. You have a portion in the nations. IT'S NOT FOR FEW PEOPLE. THERE'S NO SPECIAL PERSON GOD IS GIVING any nation. Somebody may have an encounter. That's the way God choose to tell him. You can read it in the Bible and take over nations. >> [music] >> I I heard of a man called Dag Heward-Mills from Ghana. He said he didn't have any special encounter. He just read his Bible and the Bible said, "Do the work of an evangelist." Today, he has been to more than 54 nations. SO, IF GOD CHOOSE TO SEND an angel to tell you, "Matthew, Matthew, go to Ghana. That's your That's beautiful."

34:05 BUT, I DON'T NEED AN ANGEL TO COME AND SAY, "MICHAEL, MICHAEL, NOW THE nations are yours." AND THAT GOD TELL YOU LIKE THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOURS IS MORE SPECIAL than the person who saw it IN THE BIBLE. TAKE NATIONS. THERE IS MORE. AND ANY AREA GOD HAS ESTABLISHED YOU, THAT'S YOUR AREA. THAT'S YOUR CATCHMENT AREA. If you are in the media, don't just do recording in church. GO AND START A MEDIA COMPANY. Even pastor will support you. YOU WILL BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE IN CHURCH. >> [music] >> I'm telling you. Any area OF GIFTING AND EXPERTISE IS A PLATFORM FOR EXPANSION. But the only thing is that be a disciple while you are doing it. Your first priority should be your service in the house of God. Don't become too busy to serve God.

34:50 >> [music] >> There's more. CAN WE GO FURTHER? TERRITORIES. TERRITORIES. BECAUSE OF TIME, NUMBER FIVE, THIS IS WHERE I WILL STOP. HARVEST. HARVEST. HARVEST. THIS IS SIX. HARVEST. HARVEST. MORE SOULS into the kingdom. The Bible said they that winneth souls, they are wise.
