HOW TO BUILD STRONG PRAYER ALTAR || The Five Dimensions of Prayer-#apostlemichaelorokpo

0:00 The weight of our relationship with God is tied to the depth of our priesthood. And so when you find two believers walking, the degree to which they can mirror God's purpose is the depth of their priesthood. It's not just because they are born again. The reason one believer speaks and God acts and another speaks and it looks like God is asleep is because of their priesthood. When your priesthood is awakened, the operations of God in your life will be awakened as well. He say God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all you can ask or think according to the power at work on your inside. There is a technology that awakens that power. That technology is called priesthood. And so all through scripture, you will discover that one agenda God had in his heart was to raise kings and priests. So if you are not yet a priest, if you are not yet a king, look around and tell yourself, where have I been? Because existence

0:47 actually begins from the day you become a priest and a king. And there are people who will live until they are 80 and they will never understand priesthood. They will never understand kingship. They will just breathe oxygen, pass through time and go. And they won't know what God is doing in a generation. That is not life. That is a waste. And so in this conference, we want to understand what priesthood entails. We have seen that what God has in mind is to raise priests and to raise kings. Because in the kingdom of God, only priests and kings exist there. This is why you will find 10,000 people line up for one person to pray for them. That means that one person praying for them is the one living in the kingdom because he's the one who understand the technology of the kingdom. He's the one living from the advantages of the

1:34 kingdom. He's the one enjoying the benefits of the kingdom. It's just like your government today. There are those who are active participators in the government. They will tell you what will happen tomorrow. If you like, believe it. If you like, don't. It will happen. If the president comes now and say tomorrow is public holiday, tomorrow is public holiday. Every plan you have will shut down. If the military intelligence detail the president and the president says no movement tomorrow, tomorrow is cue. If you like have wedding, you will postpone it. You know why? Because they are the ones participating in the kingdom. They tell you how to live. So in this the same vein in the kingdom of God only priests and kings have the right to participate to function and to experience that kingdom. And so if a believer is not in that kingdom, he's suffering a great

2:19 deal. He's just not aware. In fact, demons will imaginalize him to the degree they want because they know he's helplessly vulnerable. But if a believer is awakened to the reality of priesthood, suddenly they will begin to enjoy his dominion. And so I made us to understand yesterday that we were born to live as kings, but our kingship survives on our priesthood because that order of existence is the Melkisedc order. And we are supposed to live according to the Melkisedc order. In Hebrews 7:1, he called him Melkisedc, king of Salem, priest of the most high God. So he's a king of Salem because he's a priest of the most high God. The reason you are able to live as a king is because you have a functional priesthood. If your priesthood dies, your kingship is short changed. IF YOUR

3:04 PRIESTHOOD DIES, your kingship is withdrawn. A demon can knock you and there's nothing you can do about it. A demon can come and afflict your body. There's nothing you'll be able to do about it. And you'll be wondering, am I not the child of God? He say my people perish for the lack of knowledge. I don't deny that they are my people but there is what they need to do in order to live as my people. They may be legally my people but if they don't know what to do even though they are my people they will perish and it will look as if I'm helpless because I have shown them what they ought to do. So priesthood is what we ought to do in order to improve the quality of our existence. And I said priesthood is prayer. But this prayer is not just speaking in tongues. This prayer has many dimensions. And in order for your priesthood to be complete and holistic, you need to understand the five dimensions of prayer or the way prayer

3:50 is executed or prosecuted. And I said the first dimension of priesthood is the ability to minister to the Lord. And I said ministering to the Lord is not asking God for your needs. Ministering to the Lord is to acknowledge who he is and to honor him for who he is. In Exodus 28:2 1 and 2, he said, "Separate unto me Aaron and his son that they may minister unto me in the priest office." So the reason God created the priesthood is because like every king, God was looking for those who can sing his praise, eulogize him and to acknowledge his excellency. And so the first thing every priest does in the corridor of prayer is to know how to discern God and how to praise his name, how to exalt him and how to honor him. In Acts 13:2, the

4:36 Bible said the people in Antioch, the leaders in Antioch, he said they fasted and they ministered to the Lord. And I showed you a few examples yesterday on how to minister to the Lord. If you will go through the scripture very quickly, I saw that she activated one scripture while she was talking because there are many scriptures in the Bible where powerful and wise men were ministering to the Lord. For example, and that's when you will know the statue of a man. The stat of a man is not the title he bears. The statue of the man is the depth of his communion with God. You know when Hannah had need for a child, she was laboring to get a child and the child was not coming. So an intelligence was furnished in her that the quickest way to route her need is to minister to the Lord. And so Hannah went to the

5:23 temple and the depth of her communion was so much that she didn't have letters to communicate it. Her mouth was shivering. And somebody who was a high priest who was supposed to look upon her and discern the intercourse that was taking place was not aware because Elli's eyes were dim. He could no longer passive spiritual things. And he looked at her and said, "Ah, stop this your drunkenness. When will you stop this?" And was rebuking SOMEBODY WHO WAS HIGH in the spirit. And Hannah looked upon her and said, "No, this is not an act of drunkenness. I am overwhelmed with grief. So I am entering into God. I am pouring into God." The proof of what was happening there was in 1 Samuel chapter 2:1 and Hannah said, "My mouth is enlarged over my enemies." She began to say things that the high priest did not know because those ones were not written

6:09 in scrolls. They were written in the spiritual. He said, "My mouth is enlarged over my enemies." And she began to say certain things that were strange. He said, "There is no one holy as the Lord." How did you know? Because even the angels that are in heaven, the best they knew about God was that you are holy. How did you not know that there are other holy spirits but there is none holy as the Lord? You know that because your spirit is separated onto God now your spirit is holy. You know that the angels because they are separated to God they are also holy. But Hannah on account of where she entered with God. She was able to survey all the spirits in the spirit realm and she came to a conclusion that of all the spirits that are holy, he said there is none unholy as the Lord. Now that kind of prayer is

6:55 not God give me something. That is a prayer of acknowledgment of who God is and on the strength of your discernment of who he is. You can give him a kind of praise that you didn't pick from a textbook. That kind of praise comes out of your spirit because your spirit has had intercourse with God and it is what you have discerned about God that is peculiar to you that you are able to talk about. He said there's none holy as the Lord. He said there is none BESIDE HIM. HE CHECKED ALL THE OTHER SPIRITS that claimed they were gods. She now discovered all of them were fake. So you will know that where Hannah traveled to was a place deeper than give me a child because what she was looking for was a child. But when she began to commune with God, she went beyond the place of receiving. She went to a place where she could internalize dimensions in the spirit and she began to communicate them. If you brought Eli to that school,

7:41 Eli will be a student because what Hannah was saying, the high priest didn't know it. THEY SAID THERE'S NONE BESIDE YOU. THAT MEANS ANY OTHER BEING that says he's a god is a liar. That's what Hannah was saying. Number one, you are the most holy. Number two, there's no other being that can claim that is a God apart from you. You are the only God that exist. Because when I entered the chronicles of the spirit and I looked, there was no other person that had the authority that to command. So you alone have to be the source of all spirit. And then in order to betress it, he said he breakth of the mighty. He he said those who were weak he kidd with strength. He lifted the beggar from the dust. He lifted him from the dongh. He put him among priests so that he will inherit thrones. He said the pillars of the earth are the lords and he

8:28 established their DOMINION THERE. HOW DID you know where the pillars of the earth were? Because at this point he was now eologizing God as the almighty creator. Those kinds of things they don't hear them in the public. You hear them in the place of intercourse where God himself begins to whisper into your spirit, "This is who I am. This is what I represent." And so when you come back to him, you begin to tell him what he is that nobody else knows. On the strength of that depth of communion, God begins to enjoy and begin to have pleasure because that's the only way you can give God pleasure. You don't really give God pleasure when you cast your offering on the on the altar. That offering is used for administration. The only thing that give God pleasure is when you can discern him and on the strength of your discernment of him, you begin to ulogize him. That's what the 24 elders and the

9:15 four beasts do forever and ever. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. And they are saying that repeatedly. You are hearing it and you think it's a boring song because it's reputation. But God is hearing something different because they are exploring depths of God that nobody can study. Only is the Lord. That was the kind of intimacy that Hannah entered into. And we said that dimension of intimacy is called ministering to the Lord. It is the first order of priesthood. And so if you want to be a priest of God, you must also master how to minister to the Lord. The psalmist was speaking in Psalm 29 and he said bless the Lord. He said for he's full of majesty. He said for the voice of God is full of glory. He said the voice of God thunder. He said the voice of God

10:01 divided the flames of fire. The voice of God discovered the forest. This is only the voice of God that somebody is talking about. He's not talking God yet. He just picked only the voice of God and he was talking about the voice of God. He said the voice of God causes the hind to carve. How can a man be talking? These guys could sing God forever and ever and they will not be exhausted. For such people, God separates them unto himself and calls them his priest. You are not a priest because you went to a ritual. You are a priest because you have mastered how to minister to the Lord. And every one of us that is born of God, our first assignment in existence is to know how to minister to the Lord. Because the first way your life will glorify God is not to go out and win souls. Is to first of all know how to give thanks, give praise, honor,

10:46 and glorify him. Because if you don't do that, what will you teach the soul that you want? It is called ministering to the Lord. And I said the second dimension of priesthood is the act of beholding him. It may not mean much to you until you are married. The women who are married here, they understand. A woman can be excited from morning to evening if she dresses and comes out and the husband just looks at her and say, "My God, what a beauty." She will just become shy. Now if the husband wants to go deeper as she's shy, he will now begin to analyze her from her eyelashes. He will analyze the eyelashes, analyze the skin color, analyze the fingernails, analyze the hairdo, and then the garment

11:33 she's wearing. Because of that analysis, the next day that woman will take her bath by 5:00 a.m. because she wants to hear it again. She wants to hear. And if the man keep saying it, the man will be in trouble because all her money will finish in her wardrobe because she will do anything to keep hearing what the man is saying. Now when you begin to behold God and marvel at his glory, there is something he does to the heart of God that is so deep. And so I said when people begin to grow in priesthood, one of the things they do is that they search and seek God just to look upon him. It's like they are missing God so much that they are willing to leave the world, the noisy

12:19 world and go to that secret place just to wait either to hear him or to see him and they can look upon him forever and ever. They'll not be satisfied. If your heart begins to fine-tune into that texture, it means you are beginning to grow in priesthood. Because everything a man loves, he beholds. That's why men labor to get glorious things so that you can look at it. Most of us who labor to dress well and to wear a lot of ornaments. If people no longer appreciate them, we will dump them. That means 90% of what we wear, we don't wear because we like them. We're actually wearing them because people like them and they appreciate them. If people stop liking and appreciating what you are wearing, 90% of the time you will stop wearing them. So the reason you are wearing your suit and

13:04 feeling confident is because you are feeling that the people looking at you are appreciating and admiring what you are wearing. If you wear it out and they look at you and say, "Ah, what kind of dress is this?" Uhhuh. You go back to the mirror. Your confidence will just collapse. What's wrong with what I'm wearing? And then somebody else, ah, this is a LOCAL DRESS. AH, THIS IS A LOCAL DRESS. AH, BUT I THOUGHT THIS SUIT was expensive. I bought it for 2,000 shillings. You will now start regretting why you wasted that money. And so every being wants to be beheld. And so one thing priests do is that they behold God and appreciate his beauty, appreciate his glory and appreciate his excellence. You know at this point you are not even talking much. You are just there because you are waiting for him. And the reason you are waiting is because you want to see him. You want to look upon him. He said they looked up to him and their faces were radiant and

13:51 they were not ashamed. So there is an act of priesthood called beholding him. In 2 Corinthians 3:18 he say we all with open faces beholding as in a glass. The image of the Lord we are changed. Now when you begin to behold God what God does is that that thing you admire so much he not puts it on you so that you begin to represent him. So the beauty of men is tied to the quality of their beholding because he reflect what you behold. And so one thing priests do is that they behold God until they become like him that I may behold him. that I may look upon him, that I may gaze at him. If there is a hunger in your spirit strong enough to make you separate yourself just to go look upon him or to hear him, it means you are a high ranking priest in the spirit. When you want to distinguish between babes and

14:37 the mature, find out what takes them to God's presence. When a babe comes to God's presence, he has a need. When the need is over, he goes. But when you find a priest, he doesn't go there because he has a need. He wants to see something. He wants to hear something. The presence of God, he's addicted to the presence of God. Like Marijuana, he will keep looking and he never gets satisfied. Because the more he sees, the more he wants to see. God becomes like an endless beauty, fountain of beauty that he never gets exhausted. See, he will look upon him and look upon him yet again. It's called priesthood. Priesthood is the act of beholding God. Because as you are beholding God, God is pouring himself into you. So the first dimension of priesthood require you acknowledging and glorifying him. The second dimension of priesthood requires you appreciating him, loving him,

15:24 honoring him, AND JUST MARVELING AT HIM. It's a sign that God is your priority. It's a sign that God is your all. It's a sign that God is the biggest thing of value in your life. You will not understand how value is judged until you have something worthwhile. The day they give you a Lamborghini, you will not be able to sleep. You wake up at 12:00 midnight and pack the cotton and look whether it's still packed. You that used to wake up by 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. because there's a Lamborghini in the compound by 5:30. You want to take a walk and you are looking at the car, you check the silencer, the exhaust, YOU LOOK AT THE TIRES. AH, these tires are big. Every day you are seeing new things. Sometimes you just go and sit inside the car, not because you are going anywhere. You own it and when the engine is steaming, you are looking

16:10 at the speedometer. You are touching some things. The wood they use here, you you are just touching. You are just looking because your affection is tied there. And so in priesthood, the way God judges your affection is what you will do just to look upon him. And so priests who are actually practicing the art of priesthood, one thing they do is to look upon God. They can be there for 3 days just to hear a whisper. And the moment they see or hear God, their heart is full OF JOY. THAT JOY, YOU can't take it from them. Things may be wrong, but they are happy. And you are wondering, why are you excited in the midst of chaos? because they have something you can't take from them. You can take money from them. You can take car from them. But this one, you can't take it. It's a their spirit. And that's when you become like Mount Sion that cannot be moved because you are a beholder of God. The Bible spoke concerning Moses. He said

16:56 the reason he was able to abandon Egypt was because he saw him that was invincible. And so when you find a man always going to the place of prayer, it's because of what he's seeing and hearing. It's not because of the answers HE'S GETTING NECESSARILY. YES, HE will get answers. But even in a season where there are no answers, he keeps going there because he just wants to see God. He wants to touch God. Nothing grants him fulfillment like touching God. That's a priest. If you want to rise as a priest, you must love and master the art of beholding. There are things bigger than impartations. There are certain things that are practiced. You practice your way into those realities because it will take a daily exercise for you to come into full stature of their operation. Many times when we come for meetings like this, people want to touch you. They want you to prophesy over them, lay hands on them. It will bring you a

17:42 dimension. But that dimension will have a consecration. If you don't have that consecration, the dimension will lift. The reason I started laboring in the spirit is because I discovered every dimension rest on the consecration. And so when you are imparted, you will enjoy it for a season, but the dimension will begin to call on the consecration that he rest upon. If you cannot provide the sacrifice of that consecration, the dimension will go back. I traveled once upon a time to see a great apostle called Randy Clark and he laid hands on me say you will walk in the glory realm I will pray for people I didn't have faith people were being healed termininal diseases I said it's time to start the global healing ministry if this thing is this easy and I started condemning most of the preachers is this how simple this thing is that they made

18:27 it difficult for us no wonder thank God after 2 weeks the impartation began to demand fasting. The invitation began to demand long hours prayers and I couldn't PRAY LIKE THAT. LONG HOURS PRAYERS. Sometimes in the night I would sense like praying. I would just be awake and I didn't want to pray. When I struggled with the consecration and I didn't keep it after a while I went back to status school because every in every dimension rest on a consecration. And so one of the things that will make you a priest is to pay the price of beholding. When you see somebody coming with glory and excellence, if you like, go and buy the same suit he wears. Your glory level will be different because that glory is beyond the suit. A glory is what has rubbed off because of his beholding. A

19:12 man can wear a suit, pull it and give you, you will wear that suit the next day. You look like a caricature. Meanwhile, when you saw the suit on him, you wanted to die. You have the portrait in your office. But when you wore the same suit, you now discover there is something more than the suit that is wearing is the glory of God. And that glory comes only if you behold. This is the secret of priest. And this IS WHY WHEN PRIEST show up, THINGS HAPPEN. THINGS DON'T HAPPEN JUST BECAUSE THEY SPOKE in a certain way. YOU CAN COME TO A PLACE AND SHOUT. WHEN YOU FINISH SHOUTING, they will slap you. And then you will know that you need much glory beyond a deep voice. It's called beholding. The third thing please do is to wait. Waiting is an acknowledgement of the fact that you know he's a king. I don't want to read scriptures. There are many scriptures that I've read but it

19:58 will take our time. When Moses was called up by God and he climbed up the mountain, Moses climbed the mountain. The glory of God descended. God was not there. Moses waited for 8 days before God showed up. But Moses didn't go away because Moses acknowledged that he is the king. He is the servant. God is the king. I am the servant. So my job is to wait upon him. That act of waiting is called worship. And it is on the strength of that waiting that God will g you with strength. The Bible said they that wait upon the Lord. He said they mount up with wings like the eagles. So when a man wants to mount up with wings, he needs to learn the art of waiting. There are many people who wants to fly, but they don't know the technology of flying. You don't fly by jumping. You fly by waiting. There is a wing that you have that will never be activated until

20:45 you learn how to wait in God's presence. And so when you see things happening with people, don't copy them. You will have accident. Don't copy them. You will die. FIND OUT WHAT THEY are doing. When you do it, the same thing will begin to happen naturally. The moment you begin to struggle, it means your flesh is what is sponsoring it. But when you wait, God will carry you. And so men who have strength that never debate, they understand something about priesthood. And what they understand about priesthood is they have to waiting. Our generation is a hasty generation. People can speak in tongues for 10 hours so that they too will have the badge that they they have also spoken in tong for 10 hours. But they actually not interested in God. Your prayer can mean many things, but your your waiting means one thing. Your waiting means only God's presence count. So when you are done waiting, sometimes God will see whether you wait for him. When you are done

21:31 outlining what you need, God will see whether he is the one you are looking for. He said unto Abraham, be careful to note that I am your shield and your exceeding great reward. If you don't wait for me, every other thing will vanish. I am the answer you are looking for. And so when you want to find somebody who practices priesthood, one thing he does is that he makes sure that he encounters God from time to time. And the way he engenders it is by waiting. When he's done praying for 7 hours and his spirit becomes quiet, he still waits. Because the prayer is not complete until God shows up. Because prayer is not a monodock. It's a dialogue. When you are done talking, wait for God to to come and talk. Because if God have not spoken, you have not prayed. You only talk to God. Are we together? And so priesthood entails waiting on the Lord. And I

22:16 assure you this is one thing that is difficult for us to do. We can wait before a television. We can wait before a football match. We can wait before a program. I remember the period where demons sanitized Africa with some programs called Telmundo. Telmundo is a semi- pornography. And then you will see young ladies waiting for every evening. They are waiting. The moment is 6:00, they are on the front of the TV. They will check whether they've started. They will check. They will check. You go to certain houses, three ladies are waiting. If the program is not yet on, they will start discussing about what happened yesterday. And they will start predicting what will happen today. All of that, they are gingering themselves to wait because of the hunger they have for the world system. But when it has to

23:02 do with God, wait for 10 minutes. Everybody is dozing off because there's no passion for God. There's no hunger for God. And so when God wants to see how much of himself he can commit to you, he will test your patience on waiting because the degree of your waiting is what determines how much of God you can handle. If you cannot wait long enough, he cannot give you much of himself. If you have the tenacity to wait, God can give you all of himself. Men who carry God so much, they have a lot of patience in God's presence. And so God now is sure that it is him they are looking for, not what he has to offer. Because those who need what God has, God can easily give it to them to go. Hope you remember when Abraham was settling his children, the Bible said he gave gifts to the sons of Ketura, but to Isaac he gave the promise. God can give you the things you are looking for but you will never have God. The men who

23:48 have God that the men who are passionate about God and God only. And the proof that you are passionate about God is not to preach about him. Is the degree to which you can wait for him. If God doesn't show up in two weeks, do you have the stamina to wait? If God doesn't show up in one year, do you have the stamina to wait? If God does not show up in two years, do you have the stamina to wait? I know you know you are supposed to start ministry but what if God has not given go ahead? Can you wait for 5 years? If you can't wait for 5 years it means that ministry is not God sending you. You are looking for a system to merchandise people and you want something that you can put the logo of God on. That is not God. And that's why you see many people run into accidents in destiny because they didn't wait for God. They were too ambitious to do something and God became a delay. And as far as they concerned even God cannot delay them and so they will move ahead. God will meet them on the road. is Satan

24:33 that will meet you first because Satan always come first. He said the thief cometh not but for to kill, to steal, and to destroy. But I am come. Satan is the one that comes first. So you better wait for God. How many of you have met Satan? Don't worry, he may not appear. The circumstances will show. Wait on God so you don't meet Satan by accident. But when you have waited, you have terminina. When the when Satan is running, you are flying. and whatever he does we turn to your advantage. Praise God. And so the third dimension of priesthood I said is what? Waiting on the Lord. The fourth dimension of priesthood I said is participation. This is where you develop skill. If you don't participate in what is happening in the realm of God, you will

25:20 not be skillful. And the affairs of life require a lot of skill. And so when you find priests who are skillful is because they are participators. They are not just spectators. They participated in the realm of God. If you study Zechariah chapter 3, you will notice something that the high priest was dented. His garment was stained and then negotiations were going on. They were discussing his destiny and somebody was there watching. The prophet that was watching was writing. He was given access to participate. When that man come to the earth, he'll be older than the oldest person in the village because his age will not be chronological. His age will be age in light. He hears ancients talk. And so when he talks, he will talk like an ancient. And so one thing every priest presses for and attains to achieve in the spirit is the

26:06 honor of participation. There are times when you will be pressing on the altar until a day will come. You will hear an angel say come up either. You have troubled us too long. Come up. You will come up and then they will say just be watching what is happening. They want to give you wisdom. You may not be permitted to speak but just be watching. As you are watching that is how you will learn the ways of God. And so when you show up, what you see is what you will do. It may not be conventional, but it will BE POWERFUL. WHEN JOHN the Baptist came, they were not baptizing people. He was the one who initiated it. And they looked at him, they said the one that dip people in water. That's why they called him John the Baptist. It wasn't common. Now when you look at our world today, most of the things people are doing is duplicate. The reason is because priests are few. And so when one

26:51 person who participated starts doing something, every other person will start copying it because we only looking for what is working. We are not willing to ascend into Zion. And because we are not participating, we are not bringing inventions from the realm of light. Meanwhile, in darkness, you are not permitted to start until you have participated. The things witches do are 99% experiential. Witches are not conventional. They are not mechanical. Witches originate things from the spirit realm. If a witch shows up today, he won't call she won't call herself a witch until she's able to demonstrate the power of the spirit because they know that what they represent is not talk is reality. But for you to be able to demonstrate reality, you'd have participated in the realm of reality. Today people organize healing service not even headache is

27:36 healed because they know that healing service should be once in a month. So it has become part of church program and no healing is taking place because they've not participated. They want to come and act. John was speaking in 1 John chapter 1 vers1. He said the things that we heard. We didn't run because we heard. He said we looked upon. We didn't run because we looked upon. He said now we handled it. He said because we have handled it, we can now invite you into fellowship. So when John is talking to you, he's not just teaching you something. He's inviting you into the fellowship. Because a man who participates has the authority to present. If you have not participated, you will not have the authority to prove what you are talking about. You go to places, people are talking about fire, nobody's on fire. They are talking about healing, nobody's being healed. They are

28:22 talking about billocation, nobody's billocating. But you just want to say things that that look big. So that people say, "MY GOD, MY GOD." DON'T say things that you have not participated in. John the Baptist was speaking or John the disciple was speaking. He said, "That which we have seen and heard, declare we unto thee." And this is why they had authority because the things they were saying, they didn't just read them. Read to learn and be inspired. But what you can demonstrate is what you participate in. And so in addition to your reading, make sure you wait on the altar until you touch something. Elijah touch fire. That's why he could command fire. Any other person who tries to mimic Elijah, we received the fate of the sons of the giver. He said the name of Jesus that Paul preaches, do you know him? And to prove that they didn't know him, the demons gave them a very sincere punishment to make sure next time they

29:08 don't repeat this error because this is not a business of children. You know we are talking about changing our world. So we need to handle reality because if the church does not participate in the things she speaks about the church will be seen as a clown. In fact we'll be seen as the problem of society and it is almost becoming like that because we are removing the ancient landmarks. The fathers of old were not talkers. They were demonstrators of realities. It was the realities they handled they spoke about. But we are a generation of big and lofty talking with little or nothing to show. And the reason is because we've not labored on the altar to participate. Participation in the spirit is entrustment. They will

29:55 watch you for a long time and they will now see that now you qualify to touch some things. And so they will give you those things as a token to your generation. And so if you have not received something and you come to talk about it to your generation, you are a liar to your generation. and you'll become part of the problem not the answer. Imagine if let's go forward you know participation will cost you a lot. This is where priesthood becomes interesting. I said she quoted a scripture from Psalm

30:41 23 Psalm 24:3 he said who shall stand in the hill of the Lord who shall ascend his holy mountains say him that is of a pure hand participation has requirements that is of a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul in vanity nor sworn deceitfully so before you participate they will check you they will probe you they will scrutinize you and they will sanctify you. He said in the year that King Oziah died, I saw the Lord and his train filled the temple. Before he entered the court, they said wait. They said one of the seraphim took the co and touched the stone and he said now your iniquity is ped you can now participate. The reason the church is not doing what she ought to do is

31:26 because people are going to learn things from textbook and coming to speak on behalf of spirits. We removed priesthood and we substituted it with Bible school. There's nothing wrong with Bible school. But if you only read things from books and you want to come and represent a spirit by reading a book, you are a joker. They say holy men of God spake as they were carried by the spirit of God. So what they were saying were the things they represented. Our generation removed the labor of priesthood and we represent we replaced it with excitement in church. And so churches in those days that people will come and drill in prayer until they touch something. Now when you come to church they acting drama. Even in vig a vig now will start from 10:00 p.m. because they need to waste the first 4 hours. If you start by

32:13 6:00, nobody will come. Meanwhile, the elders of old started vig from 6:00 to 6:00. When you come by 5 minutes past 6, they already praying and they will first of all pray till 12 midnight. Then they will start exaltation. When they teach the word of God, then they will pray till morning. We now start video by 10:00 and from 10 to 12 is high praise. People are dancing and carrying cheers up. Now there's nothing wrong in praising God don't get me wrong you know I told you about praising in the beginning but the sound you are hearing if the if you are hearing it faintly you will think it's a club because all the beats are the same beats from the club we are so connected to the club that even when we are in church we don't want to miss the club so we had to download the club beat into church

32:59 and so everybody is dancing they are dancing till 12 the moment is 12 they say let us prayer is 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes, they now notice people are already dozing up. They quickly replace it with another dance. They dance again for 1 hour. And then when people are excited, they say, "Let's share a chart." Somebody will now come out for 5 minutes as if he's in a rush and read three verses quickly. As he read the verses very quickly, he noticed people are dozing off. They say, "Wait, there's drama. There's drama." We now add drama. By 3:00, God's servant will now come out and share few messages, prophesy, and then we'll start dancing again. Crusade now video will finish by 4:00. People will not sleep in 36 because they can't go home. Why didn't they pray from 4 to 6? Because they can't pray that prayer. Better end that night video by by 4. So video will end

33:47 by 4. Nowadays there are some videos that is even 12 to 3. That's not video. That's night prayer. There is no energy to participate because it takes so much to stand. It takes much to stand. There has to be stamina. There has to be tenacity. There is a requirement of purity before you can participate with spirits that are immortal. But you see, priesthood is dying. And because priesthood is dying, the devil is gaining ground. Even our culture and traditions that uphold morals are being uprooted because the devil doesn't want anything that can affect his agenda. So when as he has penetrated church he's

34:34 even penetrating culture. So in Africa now built his nakedness at least those days you can't even be naked because of culture but even the moral values of culture are being uprooted because when priesthood is gone the devil will have a few day when the priesthood is substituted the white beast are summoned to come and take over. And so we must train people again to learn how to participate. Take 15 people, take 30 people, go for a retreat somewhere where there's no keyboard. Pray in tongues with them for 5 hours. Stop. Ask them what did you see? What did you hear? You have not heard anything. Pray again for another 5 hours. Stop. Ask them what did you see?

35:20 What did you hear? They didn't hear anything. Give them 15 minutes break. Take something light. Come back. Pray again for 5 hours. Pray with them until their ears open and their eyes can see. That is Christianity. Christianity is not story. It's not tales. It's not excitement. It's to represent the spirit of God. Because priesthood is the ability to commune with God until you can represent him. And priesthood is also the ability to by the spirit of God change things in your realm. And you don't change things by by by shouting and and singing. You change things by power. And you must stand and participate with the spirits that represent power to be able to create the kind of change that you are looking for. And so we said the fourth dimension of priesthood is

36:06 participation. If we stop this service now and take a sensus here and ask here, how many of you heard God this week, you'll be shocked. You now think, okay, this week is just 4 days a just 4 days into the week. Let's add another week. You now say how many of you heard God from last week till this week? You'll be shocked. You now say, "Okay, how many of you heard God this month?" You'll say, "No, December just started. Okay, let's add November." How many of you heard God in November? You'll be shocked. You now say, "Okay, how many of you have heard God in 2022?" You will be shocked that they will not be 10%. You now understand the kind of church we have. It's a church of members, not a church of priests. Our

36:52 focus is members. church members that we will snap and put online not the church or priest and we want to change society it doesn't work like that do you know why I'm saying this because what I will share this night briefly now is to show you how spirits rule system so you know the level of power you need to be able to change things it takes power when somebody's life is under attack it takes power it doesn't take counseling. Counseling comes after power. If you have not dealt with the demon, if you have not altered the molecular structure of the person that demons have mutilated, your counseling will fall on

37:37 deaf ears. Even if the person receives it, he can't keep it. The secular the western world thinks it's about intelligence. They took priesthood away and brought English and programs and principles. After many years they discover that their society is dying. The soul of morality has been pierced. It has punctured and they can't even control it anymore because they didn't know what priesthood was doing to sanitize that society is power. And so before we enter the dynamics of legislation, you have to begin to drill your spirit. See, leave the shouting first. Drill your spirit. be able to quieten your soul before God until you

38:23 can pick something from the realm of God. That's when you can be sure that even the salvation you are talking about is real because you have walked through time all your life. Everything you know about God is a story somebody told you. That means you are going into eternity with uncertainty. You don't know this your God is true because you've never picked anything from him. What is the difference between you and the dead religion? because their god is dead. You claim your god IS ALIVE. YOU'VE NEVER HEARD anything from him. You've never interacted with anything from his realm and then YOU ARE WALKING. THAT'S WHY when the devil COMES THE FIRST THING THAT comes out of you is fear because YOU ARE NOT SURE if what you believe is true. And so we need to come to that point where we surrender to the

39:10 government of the presence. And number one, this God we accept everything he says he is and we honor him FOR IT. NUMBER TWO, WE WAIT UPON HIM AND INSIST that we too must SEE HIS REALITY. NUMBER THREE, WE INSIST THAT WE WAIT UNTIL HE SPEAKS to us and when he speaks to us, we want to participate in his program. This thing you say you are doing in Kenya, I want to participate in it. I don't just want to come to church AND GO BACK. WHAT are you saying about Kenya that everybody IS CLAIMING AND TALKING ABOUT? HOW COME THESE THINGS ARE A STORY TO ME? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I want to participate so that you don't just join the BANDWAGON AND SAY GOD IS DOING SOMETHING. WHAT IS GOD DOING? Everybody stands up. They said we ARE IN THE LAST DAY. GOD IS DOING SOMETHING. WHAT IS God doing? Who told you? HOW ARE YOU SURE THAT GOD IS DOING

39:56 SOMETHING? AND if God is doing something, what role are you going to play in it? These are the things that should burden us because until we get there, we are not part of God's program. And if you are not part of God's program, we are not priests and we are not kings. Our lives will just be a function of receiving the leftovers that those who are participating in the kingdom are dropping by and so you are receiving HEALINGS AND IMPARTATION. WHEREAS the man who is coming to impart you is standing before God every day. It is the overflow of what runs out of him that he pours on you IN THE SERVICE. THANK GOD FOR THAT IMPARTATION. BUT when will you also appear on the mountain and say the God who encountered this man that he will blow and people will fall. THE GOD WHO ENCOUNTERED THIS MAN THAT HE WILL TOUCH CANCER AND CANCER WILL DIE. WHEN WILL I MEET THAT GOD? THANK GOD FOR THE HEALING BUT WHEN WILL

40:43 I WALK IN DIVINE HEALTH? THANK GOD FOR THE IMPARTATION BUT WHEN WILL I SEE THIS God for my own self? These are the BURDENS OF PRIEST. IMAGINE YOU are in a family and every day your elder brother comes and say daddy said take 2,000. Tomorrow he come say daddy said take food. Tomorrow he comes say daddy said take TRANSPORT TO SCHOOL. WHAT DAY WILL I SEE DADDY? WHY IS IT THAT YOU ARE THE ONE ALWAYS SEEING DADDY TO TELL ME WHAT DADDY SAY? ME TOO. I want to hear what daddy is saying. I'm not a stranger. I'm not a visitor. I'm also born into the family because I'm not only interested in what daddy's giving. Who is daddy? Where is daddy? I want to see daddy. That's where your journey in Christianity begins. And these are the molecules of priesthood. THIS IS WHY PRIESTHOOD IS SO VITAL AND IT CANNOT BE TAKEN out of the sea.

41:30 When you enter those dimensions, then God begins to commit things to you. That's where litigation and legislation begins from. And we say in litigation and legislation, you are either an intercessor or you are a gatekeeper or you are a watcher. A watcher is one who sees to warn the church. A gatekeeper is one who defends the integrity of God and keeps the gate. And an intercessor is one who speaks to God on behalf of the people. You must fall into one of this category to be relevant in God's agenda. If you are not in any of this category, my brother, my sister, you are not part of God's agenda. You don't become a part of God's agenda because you belong to a church. YOU BECOME A PART of God's

42:16 agenda because there's a responsibility God has committed to you. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE SEEING AND ARE TELLING THE CHURCH WHAT GOD IS SAYING. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE STANDING AT THE GATE TO DEFEND THE INTEGRITY of God. And there ARE THOSE WHO ARE TALKING TO GOD ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING SO that God can act on behalf of the church. YOU MUST FALL INTO ONE OF THIS CATEGORY. THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT. THAT YOU ARE A PART AND A PARCEL OF God's program. But there are few people who are participating in GOD'S PROGRAM. CHURCH IS FULL PARTICIPATORS ARE EMPTY. Full church, few participators.
