0:00 Why are unbelievers striving and excelling? They don't love Jesus. Yet, we see them excel because they have mastered this dimension of accessing the power of God. They may not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior. In fact, they may deny him to his face. But that does not mean the laws will stop working. If you understand me, say amen. Amen. Let me just You don't need to write. Just look at me. Let me list for you a few laws that have the power of God behind them. Are you ready? You can just listen. Number one is the law of diligence. The Bible says the diligent hand shall be made rich. No matter who on earth, the moment you subscribe to diligence, there is a great future for you under normal circumstances. If you are diligent and you do not prosper, it
0:45 takes demons to interrupt that law. But under normal circumstances, diligence should and productivity is connected to wealth and increase. Number two, blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. That every time you show mercy, you are programming that reality. Whether you are born again or not, based on the laws of seasons and the laws of time and chance, eventually that harvest will come to you. Here in lies the answer to the ageong question. Why is it that if God is the God of the universe, there are believers who are suffering. There are children who are crying across the globe. How can a loving God be seated upon his throne and is watching children in Africa die? Whereas there are people
1:32 who are renting jets and renting a lot of things and wasting their lives and it looks like God is watching them. Listen to me. God gave every man a will and not even him will violate that will at the expense of your eternal destiny. He allows you to choose whether you want to hand your life to him or not. And if you reject him, he will respect your decision. Even when Satan rebelled against him in heaven, he respected his decision. Unfortunately, every decision comes with consequences. It was not that God got up and decided to punish Satan. The judgment of Satan was the consequence of rebellion. Are we together? This is very powerful. So when we see people cry and die and scrge around in our society is a
2:17 violation largely. Now demon spirits have taken advantage of that state but they are taking advantage of that state because they already know that there is a dimension of the power of God invested in principles. Watch this. So a gentleman gets up one day. I'm not talking of someone who is born again. We're believers. But I hope you understand why I'm teaching you this way. So a gentleman who is not even saved just gets up and reads a book maybe a book written by Bill Gates or a book written by any great man and makes up his mind that I'm going to take my destiny by my hands. Are we together? Now this is somebody who is not saved and makes up his mind to walk with the things that are written there. He begins to change his attitude. He begins to subject himself through all kinds of things. He subscribes to mentorship. Are
3:03 we together? Educate his mind. You will find out that the reality of that man begins to change. Remember our definition of power, the ability to control and to manipulate your outcome. The once poor and wretched gentleman suddenly begins to change. His life is changing. This gentleman has refused to accept the person of Jesus, but he has adopted the principles of Jesus. They may not acknowledge him as the author of those principles, but please I want you to believe me that if you ever see any manifestation of power, it is because there's a dimension of God's power programmed in laws. Now, people call it all kinds of names. Some call it the laws of the universe. Some call it all kinds of
3:49 laws. Some attribute it to mother nature, unfortunately. But we who are of the faith, we know that's why I laid that foundation. I have spoken once and twice. Have you heard that all power belongs to the Lord? So if I plant corn and I see that corn growing, I don't congratulate the universe for giving me corn. I give glory to Jesus because I know that he's the one who empowered it. But if I'm an unbeliever, I can give that glory to my conscience or some kind of cosmic power. This is the advantage that believers have. When believers practice the laws of the kingdom, the advantage is that we practice it as submitting to Jesus and eventually the glory returns to Jesus. Are you learning now? But you neglect laws and principles and you find out that you have neglected
4:35 a whole dimension of God's power. You may never experience it in your life. Could it be that someone seated now, you are born again, you are saved, but you have ignored obedience to principles and to laws, spiritual laws, laws that have been taught, scriptural laws. There are laws of growth. There are laws of leadership. There are laws of influence. There are laws of multiplication. There are laws of restoration. Which of them do you not know? Which of them do you know? My assignment is by the ministry of the Holy Spirit to expose you to this laws of the kingdom. I call them mysteries. Matthew 13:11, Jesus himself was teaching the disciples and he said the kingdom was shrouded in mysteries. He
5:21 says because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Watch a display of spiritual laws. Moses comes to stand in front of Pharaoh and he throws his rod and that rod becomes a serpent. Look at me. And then Janice and Jimus they never called the name of Jesus yet they threw their rod and it became that. Now I'm not promoting evil. Never will I do so. It is for the purpose of my discussion with you. How many of you know that in our various villages in our various market squares and even some have been so sophisticated there are people who are acclaimed magicians. Am I right on that? And they they bastardize spiritual laws. You sit down sometimes you you you
6:07 almost have to shut yourself from watching those things because they the things that you seem to be craving to see manifest. They play child's play. They manipulate the laws of the spirit. It only reveals to you the possibilities that are there that are yet to be tapped. All power belongs to God. So I lay hands on a sick person and says in the name of Jesus, stand up from this wheelchair. and the person stands up and you are clapping yet another person is in a village somewhere telling someone look I I cannot stand up and they say don't worry we'll put a particular leaf we'll chant something and then the person gets up now two of us seem to have done the same thing the difference is that Jesus is glorified in one and Satan is glorified in the other are you getting what I'm saying now the
6:54 believer listen to me there are many many formulas and there are many routes to accessing power but the believer. For you to be a believer indeed, you must be constrained to only the method that scripture provides. That does not mean there are no other routes. But the believer has a mandate. Please get this. Are we together? Now, the difference between witchcraft and satanism and spiritism is that you are walking out of the confines of the provisions that scripture allows. The believer is not just interested in outcomes. you are interested in making sure that what you practice is in keeping with the principles that are revealed in scripture. Failure to know this is what
7:40 has led many people into extra biblical practices and into all kinds of satanic things. Because when you now know that after all every law is God's law, so let me manipulate it. I can go and kill a goat and spill the blood. After all, the concept of blood was introduced by God himself, not even Satan. I can now manipulate you. But when you know that as a believer, part of what makes you a believer is your total submission to the authority of scripture, your total submission to the ways of God. So if you advertise a strategy for me, even if it is producing results and is inconsistent with scripture, my being a believer mandates that I reject it. Are we together? Is someone learning now? If you if you're understanding me, say amen. Amen.
8:30 Why will I not just go and call some habalist somewhere and say we are all co- lababorers we are colleagues in this business the most important thing is we are getting people healed why will I not do that because the results may seem to have a similitude it may look like there's result but our convictions the government that we pledge our authority to are we together and the modus operandi the pathway we follow are very different I will not hate them but I'm not going to fratonize with them because I do not believe that. Why should Paul in Acts chapter 16 cast a demon out of a damn cell who was using it to prophesy to people? If he was just about the prophetic, he rebuked her because in doing that, Satan was manipulating that thing. Are we together now? And he was using it to deceive many people and to
9:17 bring gains to many people. If someone is learning, say amen. Amen. So the first level at which the power of God is accessed is the power programmed into laws and principles. Please hear me ladies and gentlemen. Can I tell you? Do you know why laws are very predictable? Watch this. Some of you, especially our international guest, you took a flight from your various nations to come here. Most likely the person who flew you was not a believer. Yet that whole aircraft and the system worked in keeping with the law of aerodynamics. The law of aerodynamics is not a scientific law. It is a spiritual law that was discovered and used by science. Are we together now? What you call scientific laws? Go
10:04 and ask the inventors of those laws. Is it the laws of mechanics? Is it the law of whatever it is? Everything you call a law today. We just say there are spiritual laws and natural laws simply because of the dimensions where they find expression. But in truth there are only spiritual laws. All laws are spiritual because they have the power of God backing them. Are we together? So men like Sir Isaac Newton in their study of mechanics they st they stumbled across several laws and put their postulations together. Are we together? There were many other scientists Michael Faraday. Look at this. Today we are enjoying and preaching the gospel because of a concept called electricity. The Wright brothers, are we together now? Henry
10:49 Ford, all of these people, the inventions in our world today are simply spiritual laws that have been tapped and have been converted into a way and a strategy that betters the life of people. That means even when no plane had flown in the air, the law of aerodynamics was still there. Only God knows how many other laws are there that we are yet to find. Once upon a time, listen, many of you remember once upon a time if you went to the bank, you could not transfer money from your branch to another branch. No, not to talk of whoever believe that you can hold a phone and with your phone you can do transactions. You can talk to anybody across the world. Remember those
11:36 days when rain falls and your night line cuts, you have to carry a ladder and start strolling around your community looking for which one a tree has fallen on now to fix it so that your phone will come back. But right now with one dial, with one dial, you can be talking to someone from anywhere across the globe. Those laws were always there. Just because we did not know them, the power of God remained dominant on that wise. Today we talk of AI and all these technological things. Look at how excited we are entering into it. Yet they have always been there. Please listen to me. If you understand what I'm telling you, your life will become phenomenal. You will now respect the laws of God. Disorganization will always lead to
12:21 depletion. Is a law. Even if it is practiced by a Christian, the moment you are disorganized in leadership, in ministry, as a person, there will never be growth with disorganization. Scatter your clothes and try to put it in a bag. You find out that it seems like it cannot enter. Iron them and arrange the same clothes, you will now be able to close the bag. Disorganization will always lead to depletion. It's a law. Now, watch this. Why am I teaching you this? So that in wanting to see the power of God made manifest in your life, you will see that God was so determined that he invested his power in laws and principles. Wealth has a law. Kingdom wealth does not just work on laws alone.
13:08 When you now bring kingdom, it is not only laws. Now you have to bring in the will of God and the purposes of God. That's why there is a difference between wealth and kingdom wealth. There is a difference between influence and kingdom influence. Influence you just need to work on the law of growth, results, productivity, leadership. But when you bring kingdom to it, you now have to submit to the will of God. Are we learning now? Look at the advancements we're making in medicine. Watch this. I hope you know that the same malaria that today if someone said I have fever or malaria, they say, "Oh, sorry. Just stroll to a pharmacist there. Talk with the pharmacist and they will give you some drug." Nobody will lament. In fact, many people would not even pray. They'll just say it's well. But the same malaria once upon a time on earth here. If you
13:54 had it, it was as though you had HIV. Am I right? It was as though you had cancer. Yet there were laws that had these solutions. One day scientists together stumbled across a combination that could sort out malaria so easily. Now someone can even be doing his work and say, you know, I've had malaria. And he say sorry. and you expect to see that person by next week. The power of laws that means cancer that is killing people today. Listen carefully. That means HIV that is killing people today. There is a supernatural dimension to it. But please I want you to believe me that God who put his power in laws there is every solution. It is this is where the
14:40 assignment of the Holy Ghost comes. You will be learning how inventions happen. Invention is not brain work. Invention is a spirit assisting a man to find where these laws are alongside the combination. Go and ask inventors. They will tell you inventors are usually lonely people. They alienate themselves from society. It is that level of consecration that introduces them to spirits. They may not acknowledge that I'm interacting with a spirit. They will say a voice told me join this, join that, join this and boom, something happens. There were people from as far back as 1992, 1993 who predicted the technological advancement of these days,
15:25 not by word of knowledge, the progression of inventions and that happened by the assistance of spirits. We're still coming to the other dimensions. I am just telling you that watch this. We are immersed in a myriad of spiritual laws waiting for us to understand. The Bible is the believer's compendium of these laws that if you find out from this Bible, whoever knew that if someone is sick, you can play worship and play all of this and it can bless the person and it can be healed. Now medical science is telling us that even people who submit themselves to these atmospheres and these energies that they have a a a a chance of recovery than those who are
16:12 allowed to be lonely and just sit back there. But this right from the beginning these things were in the Bible. Now hear me. I know that people have used satanic and demonic laws to destroy. My goal is to help you know that these laws work because it is the power of God that is behind them forever until Jesus comes. When you get an airplane and the laws of aerodynamics is working well. When you move that plane, are we together now? It is going to go upon the air and we are going to travel and keep traveling taking the gospel and taking whatever it is on the strength of that law. Many people have come here today. Look at your phone. Once upon a time, do you remember something called Nokia
16:58 3310? Remember how proud you were the day you bought it? You flaunted it. The same thing you are hiding today. When you are sorting your clothes and you find it, you quickly destroy. You don't want to identify with it. Just I'm just giving an example. But you can imagine that once upon a time that was your pride. It would have been a dream to imagine that you can sit down and be watching coonia from your phone. Some of you there are children who do not even know what a cafe is. How about typewriters? semicolon LKJ you were taught and some of you got zero because you couldn't understand it where will I put my fingers are we together yet the laws
17:45 that can make the globe to be at the at the hand of a man is like this just here today you can do any kind of thing unimaginable things the laws believers please hear Before Jesus returns, let me tell you, one of the things that the spirit of God is doing is he's opening the eyes of believers to see other laws, combinations that will provide solutions to men. I'm not just talking of supernatural solutions to the church because there are dimensions of supernatural solutions that the world will not receive. So God brings it down through laws. If I pluck a leaf now and I say eat it, you will call me a habalist. But if I consult with a pharmacist and turn that leaf into a peel and I say swallow
18:32 it and cancer disappears, you will call that an invention. And you are right. Let me tell you, there are many leaves that are for the healing of the nations. You see, some of our some of our aged parents in almost every village I know in Africa, there's usually one old man who was trained to combine some leaves. He would just come and say, "My head is paining just relax." He will stroll around as if he's looking for something that is missing and bring all kinds of things pound them and say yeah you eat it and to your shock now it was demonic spirits that taught them but I'm teaching you that those laws demonic spirits do not invent power they only because they know that men unassisted are ignorant they will come to you and claim that they want to
19:19 give you power your their own cut from the deal is your loyalty to them. Then they will now show you certain spiritual combinations. This is how witchcraft happens. Witchcraft is a manipulation of God's power that comes through a necessary alliance with Satan intended to ultimately give you a semblance of result while corrupting your desire for God. But make no mistakes about it. If your plane still flies, if you still switch on your phone, can you imagine that you send a text and it does not make a mistake to enter another number? 8 billion people thereabout on earth. Yet the person you are sending to, it gets to his phone in a
20:06 moment. I'm holding right here a mic. When I watch the videos of um Katherine Khman and all these people when this kind of invention was in its infancy, you see them hanging they they they hang all kinds of things like a grove around their waist and carry it. I mean you can imagine hanging something this heavy yet to them they were impressed because it was an invention. And today to many people I'm even living in a stone age holding this Are we together? My question for you is what else is there? It would be foolishness to imagine that we have exhausted the laws that are
20:52 there. What else is there? That someone can come up with something called YouTube and in a moment you can broadcast a meeting like this to the ends of the earth and everybody is connecting. Once upon a time if you did not have television, you will cry. You will save. Now your TV for some of you has been off for a long time because another kind of TV was given to you. What if you are given another that you do not have to hold again? Are you saying it will not happen? Number two, some of you already afraid.
21:39 [Laughter] Jesus, the power that is in the name of Jesus is not just for destruction of the camp of the enemy alone. Are we together? There are witty inventions, combinations. Doctors, hear me. Medical people hear me. There are laws that are waiting for you. And very soon I believe some believer somewhere will have his eyes open to see what we need to combine to kill cancer permanently. All of these demonic things that keep staring us at the face. We watch our loved ones carrying all kinds of things, satanic things that keep plaguing them. From a medical
22:25 standpoint, I'm telling you, there are many laws that will be coming by the spirit of God that will come up with supernatural solutions. Solutions that end untimely death. Solutions that bring that a day will come someone will say, "I'm feeling a trace of cancer." And it will be like malaria. Go and take this and it's over. Say amen. Oh. from a medical standpoint and with all due respect to them, there are certain diseases and certain organs in the human body that if and when it begins to deteriorate, they tell you that there is no way for recovery. They only manage it. I respect medicine with all my heart, but from the authority of scripture, I can tell you the wisdom of God is bigger than that. God will never design a system. Recovery and
23:10 restoration is a part of the nature of God as far as he's dealing with men is concerned. And I'm sure that sooner or later one spiritfilled scientist is going to debunk certain things and say, "We have found a way to reverse liver problems. We have found a way to reverse kidney problems. We have found a way to reverse stage four cancer." Shout amen if you believe [Applause] that. H number two, the second dimension of the power of God is the power that is accessed through intimacy and the pursuit of God. Please write it down. The power that is accessed through intimacy and the pursuit of God. This is the highest
23:56 dimension of power that any person in this side of God's kingdom can access. The power that is accessed through intimacy and the pursuit of God. Please look at me. As powerful as laws and principles are in themselves, they do not capture the complete power of God. There are dimensions of God's power that does not come just through understanding of laws. You will need to have an actual relationship with the Lord and you will need to pursue intimacy with God. That dimension of power is the reward that you get for intimacy with God. That is the dimension where supernatural power resides. The power to do impossible
24:42 things supernaturally. So I can give somebody by the operation of laws panadol and whatever it is and the person can recover. But then the person can come and with one word I can say in the name of Jesus Christ. Are you seeing now? all power but different dimensions of power and the person is healed. Someone can follow the normal laws of wealth respectfully so and he's building gradually but I can come and speak prophetically over him and say by this time tomorrow and program a climate of favor and someone just says do you know what I'm giving you 100 million now look at that kind of thing I have super imposed I have brought another dimension of power listen let me tell you the truth the power that comes through intimacy is is a is marvelous in its
25:29 operation Because this one is not what you receive with your hands. This one is a heart connection. This is your your your pressing into God. I love you for who you are. Your growth in the spirit. Growth through the word. Growth in the place of prayer. Are we together? Your passionate pursuit of God. Show me a man that loves God sincerely. Show me a man devoted and dedicated who will open up his heart to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. I show you a man who is about to stumble across genuine supernatural power.
