THE LAW OF ALTARS: Understanding THE SECRET OF POWER | Apostle Michael Orokpo

0:00 The first time the world began to be influenced, the technology we saw that provoked influence was the technology of altars. In Genesis 4:25, he said, "In those days, men began to call on the name of the Lord." And suddenly prophecies began to break out again. We saw the same happen in the life of Noah. He said Noah found favor with God. And because of Noah, the Bible said the WORD WAS JUDGED. WHAT WAS THE POWER THAT NOAH HAD? Genesis 8:20-22, he said Noah raised an altar to the Lord. It was THE TECHNOLOGY OF ALTAR THAT gave Noah influence in the realm of the immortals. And so long as he had influence in that

0:47 realm, on his account, the world COULD BE JUDGED. MEN that change their words are men of altars. You lack altars in your life, you will have no power to create change [music] in your ecosystem. He said to Abraham, GENESIS 12:1-3, "GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY. Get thee out of thy kindred. Get thee out of thy father's house. Come to the land that I will show you. In blessings I will bless you, and from thee shall the nations of the earth be blessed." And we saw in Genesis 12:7 that [music] no Abraham raised an altar to the Lord that appeared to him when he got to Bethl. The Bible said he raised an altar to the Lord. When he GOT TO MAMRY, GENESIS

1:33 13:18, HE RAISED AN ALTAR TO THE LORD. THE MAN KNEW THAT IF THERE IS NO ALTAR IN YOUR LIFE, YOUR TECHNOCRACY is a waste. The foundation of territorial influence is the power you generate on the altar. And so 2 Chronicles 7:14, he said, "My people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray. I will hear them from heaven." And [music] he said, "I will come down and I will heal their lands." Emancipations [music] shaping of generations is a product of altars. Make no mistakes about it. I shared with you that the elite [music] nations that you talk about today like the great

2:19 Britain like the United States of America they were born from altars. If you study the [music] story of of Great Britain it's a nation built on the foundation of priesthood and sorcery. It was [music] always a battle between light and darkness AND THE PREVAILING DOMINION is what wins. America is built on the laws of MOSES BECAUSE THE FATHERS OF THAT NATION were priests before God. Without altars, no civilization can be built. Every known civilization in the world today was built by altars. Israel was built by priesthood. He said Moses went to the backside of the wilderness. Even unto Horeb, the mountain of God, he saw a bush burning that was not consumed. And

3:05 God said to him, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, let my people go that they may serve him." When they came out, he said, "Teach them laws. Teach them statutes. Teach them ordinances." He say, "As soon as [music] Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." Isaiah 66:8, "Every [music] civilization is a product of altars." And so everyone who is a world changer is an ardent man of the altar. Without authors you cannot make any impact. At best [music] you will create impressions. But for you to make genuine impact you must have authority on the altar. And I told us the activity [music] on the altar is not just prayer. The activity on the altar is actually

3:53 sacrifice. What you put on the altar is sacrifice. Your sacrifice on the altar could be prayer. Your sacrifice on the altar could BE STUDYING. YOUR SACRIFICE ON the altar could be service. The business of altars is not just about prayer. One of the sacrifices we put on [music] the altar. But it's more than prayer. There are many people today that require wisdom to shape their world. They need to pay the [music] price of indepth study in order to tap into the spirit of wisdom to be able to create a change in their world. Our [music] generation is a a generation of laxity lacklust about issues that matter. I can assure you you gather a 100,000 youth, you can't find

4:38 10 people that are doing one thing consistently for 6 months because there is no tenacity in their spirit. [music] There's no stamina in their spirit. When you want to find men who can change their word, THERE MUST BE A DOGGED CONSECRATION INFORMED BY THE NATURE OF ALTAR THAT THEY ARE SERVICING EITHER BY PRAYER OR BY STUDY OR BY SERVICE. THERE'S GOT TO BE AN ALTAR AT THE FOUNDATION of your manifestation. Else you will be swept away by the wind. Hallelujah. >> Praise the name of the Lord. >> Hallelujah. >> I'm not telling you what I don't know. I'm telling you what I experienced. This is not fairy tale. This is reality. You don't do business on the altar, you

5:24 will be swept off. And I'm not telling you something because I'm a pastor. This is not being excess excessively spiritual. I told them in the morning, I did my master's degree in quantum mechanics. I've studied about light. I've studied about electromagnetic radiation. I've studied about SCIENCE TO THE DEEPEST REALM. So this is not me just acting spiritual, but I know that the natural realm is an offspring of the supernatural realm. I know the physical REALM IS AN OFFSPRING OF THE SPIRITUAL REALM. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM, you cannot create change in the NATURAL REALM. NO MATTER HOW INTELLIGENT YOU ARE.

6:14 >> [music] >> HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. [singing] [music] [music and singing] HALLELUJAH. [singing and music] ELOHIM. [singing] [music and singing]

6:59 [music] EVERYONE HEAR THIS. who wants to be a world changer must develop the culture of consecration to an altar. IF YOU HAVE NO ALTAR YOU ARE SERVICING, I TELL YOU YOU ARE FAILURE waiting [music] to manifest. There is no favor that can make you an impactful person is is is is a deceit of the highest order. The man imparting you has an altar. The apostles YOU PURSUE, [music] THE PROPHETS YOU PURSUE, THE LEADERS YOU PURSUE, THEY HAVE ALTARS. I CAN ASSURE you that your governor is very sober at 12 midnight.

7:46 The only person who sleep by 9 9:00 p.m. because you think you can sleep and wake up any time and you will make impact. You are joking. You are the only person who THINKS YOU CAN WAKE UP AT ANY TIME AND THINGS WILL WORK OUT BECAUSE YOU STOOD up and said God will have mercy. You are joking. GO AND FIND OUT MEN THAT are making impact. I was talking to Bishop Obo secretary. They came to Abuja. THEY WERE LEAVING FOR OTAR THAT SAME NIGHT. I FINISHED WITH them around 9:00 p.m. THEY LANDED AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT. HE SAID THE DAY IS STILL YOUNG. because they close from work sometimes 2:00 a.m. and they must be present for morning due by 5:00 a.m. There is

8:32 nothing like saying I was tired today. And this is not something they discovered yesterday. IT IS A CULTURE THAT HAVE LASTED FOR a you have lazy people who ARE NOT COMMITTED TO NOTHING AND they think they will wake up and change their world because an apostle poured oil on you. They will pour a [music] drum of oil on you. You will go nowhere. You must be [music] consecrated to something. There's an altar of reading. THERE'S AN ALTAR OF PRAYER. THERE'S AN ALTAR OF SERVICE. THIS IS A GENERATION where nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody just wants to appear. Go where? IN SERVICE. YOU TAKE ROOT. SO YOU LIVE with an inheritance.

9:19 You cannot commit to anything. You think you can change your world. Are you not? Wouldn't you be shocked if the level and the careless life you are living now you are suddenly enthroned? Would you be shocked? [music] Consecration and sacrifice is the business of altars and everyone who wants to make impact in his generation [music] must have a definite altar that is services. The day your consecration to that altar goes down, that day you sink. You don't sink the day your voice was withdrawn, you actually sank the day your consecration died. Because your [music] consecration is the foundation of your existence and you are consecrated to a

10:06 spirit through the technology of an altar. What is the altar that powers your existence? Is he an altar of prayer? Is he an altar of study? Is he AN ALTAR OF SERVICE? Is he an ALTAR OF GOODWILL? WHAT IS THE ALTAR THAT powers your existence? I'm not saying go and raise a wooden a wooden structure and KNEE BEFORE IT. I'M TALKING ABOUT A LIFE OF CONSISTENCY AND CONSECRATION. A LIFE OF ABSOLUTE DEVOTION. Somebody told me about Chris, pastor Chris Aino. In one month he read 55 books. That means some days he reads more than one book. You stand up you say is healing anointing. You are joking. Do you see the systems this man have built? It takes a lot of sacrifice

10:55 for different versions of your life to keep emitting to be able to control certain authority. Some people are the way they've been since 1999. Some people are the way they've been since 2010. They have not evolved to another version of themselves because there's no consecration to anything. You will never go anywhere. This gospel of prophesying over people from January to December is deceit. Praise the Lord. Please sit down. Hallelujah. [music]

11:49 YOUR CONSECRATION DEMAND is a function of your ordination. And so in order to make impact, you've got to discover what you were born to do. And so the second thing that makes a world changer is vision. If you have no vision, you are going nowhere. And if you are in the wrong direction, speed is not an advantage. Speed is only advant an advantage when you are traveling in the direction of your destiny. He said to Jeremiah, "Before you were born, I know you. I knew you. I ordained you and I sanctified you to be a prophet to the nation." And he told him his order of the prophetic, he said, is to uproot and

12:35 to plant. So the man knows that his prophetic order must come with deliverance authority. AND BECAUSE OF THAT HE WILL PAY THE PRICE to have power. JEREMIAH may not be an ortor but Jeremiah must carry power because the direction of his destiny have been told to him. The Bible said my people perish for the lack of knowledge. He said where there is no vision the people perish because they WILL BE EXCITED DOING NOTHING AND THEY WILL think they are doing so much. What you are doing is relevant to the degree that is consistent with your vision. And if you don't know a vision or if you DON'T HAVE A VISION, WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE doing is a waste of time because YOU MAY BE

13:21 CALLED TO BE A PREACHER. MEANWHILE, YOU SPEND 10 hours of your day learning how to do juggling. You are not a footballer. SO THAT THAT effort was wasted because it does not add to your the right direction you are going to. SO YOU MUST OF NECESSITY know exactly why you came here. In fact, you started living the day you knew your vision. You didn't start living the day you started breathing. You started living the day you knew your vision and you became committed to it. Your vision will inform the burden that you carry. Moses was a prince for 40 years. But there was nothing written about his destiny. Exodus chapter 1 and 2 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE STORY OF MOSES'S LIFE. BUT there was nothing to write because he had

14:06 [music] not gotten his vision. AND SO FOR 40 YEARS PRINCESSES WILL TAKE HIM to the river and bait him. He was wasting HIS [music] LIFE. HE THOUGHT HE WAS ENJOYING UNTIL VISION CAME. And he said when he knew his vision, he did he no longer allowed himself to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. When he didn't know his vision, IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE CALLED Pharaoh's daughter. Pharaoh's daughter's son. THE DAY HE KNEW HIS VISION, that became demotion. And Moses, the Bible said, HE CHOOSE RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE of God because he had recompense for the reward. The reward is a recompense [music] for your understanding of your VISION AND PAYING YOUR PRICE to fulfill it. There are too MANY PEOPLE GOING NOWHERE AND THEY ARE EXCITED. THEY SAY CHESS IS

14:52 PLAYING FOOTBALL, they are there shouting. They say there is a A MUSIC FESTIVAL. THEY ARE THERE SHOUTING AND THEY ARE JUST LOAFING AROUND WASTING THEIR LIVES AND THEY THINK THEY ARE relevant because they saved some money and bought a car. THEY THINK THEY ARE RELEVANT BECAUSE THEY GOT MARRIED. THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THAT MARRIAGE IS THEM BRINGING an innocent lady into their compendium OF [music] CONFUSION. THEIR LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED. NOW THEY HAVE added another person's life to the waste. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THEY WERE NOT MARRIED BECAUSE IF THEY WERE NOT MARRIED they would have been the only [laughter] IF THEY WERE NOT MARRIED WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT ONE PERSON WAS LOST. NOW THEY

15:38 HAVE brought another lady and added to destruction and to make things worse they give birth to children that become a problem to society. AND SO AFTER A WHILE it becomes a company of confused people creating confusion to society because they have no vision. Don't be quick to shout that you are making progress except you know where you are going. And if I stop this session now and I take I took a census here to find out exactly why these people were born you will be shocked the percentage you will find because people have not come to gone to entreat God and say Lord why did I come

16:23 here 10 years ago I was 15 now I'm 25 and I still don't know why I'm here Lord where am I going to may you not return to eternity and they told you you didn't pass through time. May you not return to eternity and they showed you why you WERE BORN AND YOU NEVER TOUCHED IT. MAY YOU NOT RETURN TO ETERNITY AND THEY SHOW YOU WHY GOD TOOK TIME [music] TO create you but you never scratched it. Kenneet Heggen [music] was a pastor for 13 years before God told him you are a prophet. So as far as destiny is concerned, it was after 13 years of ministry that he started ministry. Because it's when vision was born that life was born. It's when vision is born

17:11 that life is born. And it's when vision will be born that life will be born. Yours could be in the past, it could be it can be in the present or it could be in the future. The ball is in your court. Somebody will leave this conference and go shut his door and say Lord I refuse to be part of the company of people going nowhere. That's why you can afford to sit down from morning to night and gossip. You are not going anywhere. If you are going somewhere, you will know it is better to travel light and you will not heap on your shoulders things that don't pertain to you. We are a visionless generation. That's why many are wasting. There are some of you here that should have been leading the youth of UO by now and creating emancipation campaigns,

17:57 leadership campaigns. There are some of you here THAT SHOULD BE PIONEERING DIFFERENT ORDER but you still don't know where you are going and so anybody can show up from anywhere and drag you into nowhere it will not be your portion in the name of Jesus. Number three is diligence. Please take this thing to heart. I teach young people about mysteries a lot. So usually when I come for a meeting they want me to start opening things. If you don't know the foundation the mystery will be a burden. In Proverbs 22:29 it says seeest thou a man diligent in his [music] business. He

18:44 say he will stand before kings and not before men. So you have a vision. That vision is your business. Now that you have found that vision you become diligent in it. Diligence simply means paying attention to details until you gain mastery in it. I knew I was a preacher and so I took my time to sit down and LISTEN TO GREAT PREACHERS. There were preachers I listened to not because I was interested in their revelation. [music] I wanted to learn their compartment. When they come to the altar, there is a compartment with which they walked. So I'm listening to them not to not I'm not inspired by their revelation. I'm inspired by their compartment. They are leaders I listen

19:30 to just because I want to learn from their confidence. They come into a MEETING ATMOSPHERE IS DRY. THEY SAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS stand up and you see a walking. How did you STEP INTO THIS ORDER? AND I begin to explore [music] their stories to find out what they know that gave them this LEVEL OF AUDACITY. SO I'M PURSUING THEM FOR THEIR AUDACITY, NOT FOR THEIR REVELATION. There are many leaders I LISTEN TO. I JUST WANT to learn the administrative intelligence. They are talking AND EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER. Everything is working. You will never see light blink. [music] THE COLOR COMBINATION IS PERFECT. THE LED SKIN, LED SCREEN IS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. EVERYTHING IS GOING ON AS

20:16 IF YOU are in heaven. How did you COME ABOUT THIS EXCELLENCE? THAT'S WHAT I'M looking for. because they have mastered different dimension. [music] It's called diligence. You pay attention to the detailed requirement of your calling until you become a master. That's why Paul said him that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. In Proverbs 12:4, he said, "The hand of the diligent shall rule." When a man is diligent, whether you like it or not, he will be a ruler. He doesn't need to lobby his way to THE TOP. THE TOP IS HIS INHERITANCE. But when people lack diligence, the Bible [music] said they will be ens snailed. They will end up as slave

21:02 seeking the mercy of others. THE HAND OF THE DILIGENT shall rule. You want to rule in your generation. What is your vision? And to what degree are you diligent about the pursuit of your vision? There are some of us who don't eat like ordinary people. Not because we don't like food. We like food so well and we have favorite meals. But where we are going will not allow us to eat like ordinary people. And so week in week out we have fasted until we have forgotten. If there is a fasting routine, fasting has become our life because of where we are going. If I go back home, no matter how tired I am, I can't close my eyes until 2:00

21:49 a.m. I HAVE, LIKE PAUL, BEATEN MY BODY and brought it under subjection because I know leaders don't sleep at night. Whether in light or in darkness, even witches don't sleep because they know for you to rule, you must stay awake when others are sleeping. And while you are awake, you are adding value to yourself. I CAN FINISH PREACHING THIS NIGHT and I will still go and sit down and listen to a full sermon by Bishop Debo. I'M COMING HERE TO PREACH TO YOU ABOUT WHAT CHANGERS. I'm learning church growth from Bishop Oo. What I'm preaching here, I didn't learn it yesterday. Is my life. I'm not studying what I'm TEACHING YOU. I'M STUDYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I'm on a school NOW ON CHURCH GROWTH BY BISHOP OEDO because I'm powering a

22:35 system. I HAVE LEARNED IT BEFORE, BUT I'M ON A REFRESHER COURSE. I'm listening to a message preached 5 years ago. I sit down. I'm taking notes. And as I'M TAKING NOTES, I GO BACK TO MY STRUCTURE. I TILT IT HERE, TILT IT THERE, I ADJUST IT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, I must rule. I must win. I must prevail. And the way to do it is to be diligent. What is the area that I need to add something? Where are the dots missing? Where are the tea is not crossed? And then you are paying attention and you are doing it until you are gaining mastery. You are gaining mastery. A DAY COMES you operate it. It looks as if you cut it from heaven. No, you enter there through diligence. We are a generation that is careless [music] about

23:20 everything. Elohim Adonai >> [music] >> Praise God. You don't have to be old to make impact. If you are diligent, you can make impact from a tender age. [music] Because when you carry something, people are not moved by your age. They are moved by what you carry. And so, you have to pay attention to refine what you carry until you become the best at it. Even God will [music] not reward you until you are diligent. In Matthew 25:21, he say well done thou [music]

24:06 faithful servant because you have been diligent a little. He say I will commit much to you. People are looking for promotion whereas what they have they are not diligent with it. He say if you are not faithful with little you will not be [music] faithful in much. And if you can't be faithful in little, no one will give you much because it will result in greater waste. NOW ALL YOU HAVE is a hunger. You can't t you can't tend it. You are waiting for God to give you authority to gather people in a stadium to do what with them. You are not diligent with the little you have. You are a preacher. YOU DON'T HAVE POWER. YOU DON'T HAVE miracles yet. But even the preaching you are going to preach. You can't sit down to study the scripture. [music] You show up and you

24:53 have preached one message for 4 years, you will go nowhere. You want to be a world changer, be diligent with what God has [music] committed to your hand until you gain mastery. It is the master version of you that people are looking for. He say kings will come to the brightness of your rising. When you are rising, they will be watching from afar and they are seeing what this young man is doing. When you become a master, even the kings will look for you because they are already commanded to come to the brightness of your rising. But it will take diligent to refine what God has given to you until it BECOMES BRIGHT. NUMBER FOUR IS FOCUS. I've heard a strange definition today.

25:39 I will go and and sit on that one for a while until I internalize it. My God. My God. There is so much wisdom in this world. Ah. How did they come about such wisdom? [music] What what was the definition again? [music] He say full on cost until success. My God. When I heard it, something came alive in my spirit. And that's what it is. In first kings chapter 20 39 and 40 he said he said to A KING MY LORD he said a man gave me

26:26 someone to keep. He said but as I was busy here and there I lost it. Meanwhile the verdict was already given to him. He said if YOU LOSING YOUR LIFE WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU. HOW CAN YOU HEAR such things and still be busy here and there? Is lack of focus. What does that tell you? If you lack focus, you will lose what God has given to you. No matter how you try, you will lose it. THAT MEANS THE KEY to keeping what God has committed to you is to stay focused on it. There are too many people who are not focused on what God has COMMITTED TO THEM. SIR, IF YOU ARE A [music] POLITICIAN, don't kill yourself trying to meet the prayer target of an intercessor. This is where people have problem. Their

27:14 ego will want them to do everything until they are doing what is not part of their script. Is it good to pray? Yes. But you are not an intercessor. So when you pray, look for the politicians that are succeeding. Learn from them. While you are learning the good things from them, look for OPEN DOORS AND PUT YOUR HEAD THERE AND BE GROWING. IF YOU PRAY ONLY the day they tell you to come and address people, you will stutter. Your prayer will be there. THE ANOINTING WILL BE STRONG. YOU WILL STAND. PEOPLE WILL SEE YOU AND FALL DOWN. But you will have nothing to say and you will fail woofly in life. IF YOU ARE A BUSINESSMAN, PRAY BUT MAKE SURE you know how to buy and sell.

28:01 Don't pray and assume angels will bring the goods to your soul. You will fail. WHAT IS IT GOD HAS COMMITTED TO YOU? FOCUS ON IT. LET THAT THING inform your priority. I am a pastor sir. All my friends are pastors. I have many other people who are very good people but I don't need them on my journey. I want to see somebody who is doing something that will provoke my spirit. I looked on online this afternoon and I saw Dr. Pastor Paulen in Cameroon for a crusade. the the number of crutches he was holding his hand couldn't even cycle it. I said, "What is the meaning of this? What what are the pastors in Cameroon

28:47 doing?" Jesus Christ. One person enters Cameroon and he empties all the crutches. I [music] I say, "God, what what is happening here?" Those are the things I see. And when I see it, I want to leave here quickly and go and pray. We came here in the afternoon. A man showed up with crutches. He was walking. We collected it. He started walking. Everybody shouted. I laughed. Where I'm going to I don't want to collect one stick from somebody. If Dr. Paul can [music] carry 1,000 crotches. I have seen him. He has not seen me. Hear this. He is ahead of me. I'm not ahead of him. That means if he's taking 1,000, I should take 10,000. [music] BECAUSE HE'S INSPIRING ME. I'M NOT INSPIRING HIM. my own ANOINTING PLUS HIS

29:34 IMPARTATION SHOULD GIVE ME DOUBLE BUT YOU CANNOT GO FAR if you are watching I can't be watching Benzema they say ah Benzema scored hat trick in two matches I said thank God for him the person I'm watching is Dr. for because I'm I'm not go I'm not headed towards hatrick. I'm headed towards collecting crutches from people and winning souls. [music] It's called focus. Focus will select your menu. FOCUS WILL INFORM YOUR ATTITUDE. FOCUS WILL INFORM [screaming] EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE. You think if I was a politician today, I will spend 4 hours listening to a pastor a day. I listen to ministers of God sometimes for 12 hours in a day is because I'm a pastor. If I am a

30:21 politician, I will come to church and pray. At best, I will give a tight of prayer for a day. I will listen to one or two messages and most of the messages I will listen to will be on leadership and I will sit down and hear every speech by Barack Obama, every speech BY WINSTON CHURCHY, EVERY SPEECH. I WILL FOLLOW EVERY NEWS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD BECAUSE I want to understand the politics. I want to understand the gimmicks. I want to understand the strategy and I also want to know how to walk through the political corridor and not be defied. If I'm reading the Bible, I will know everything about Nehemiah, everything about Daniel, EVERYTHING ABOUT JOSEPH BECAUSE I [screaming] AM IN THE POLITICAL CORRIDOR. IT WILL INFORM EVERYTHING YOU DO. BUT

31:07 WHEN YOU see people who are not focused, they carry everything, they look everywhere, they do everything, [music] it's a sign that they will not go far. Somebody organize a a race between a rat and a tortoise. The rat can run 10 times faster than the tortoise. They put them in the in the race. The rat will go right, go left, go back, go forward. The tortoise was going slow and steady but the gaze of the tortoise was at the end. The tortoise finished the race. They waited for minutes. The rat had not come to the finishing line. That means your speed is useless if you have no focus. [music] YOUR SPEED IS RELEVANT TO THE DEGREE OF

31:54 YOUR FOCUS. That means your anointing is useless if you are NOT FOCUSED. YOUR TALENT IS USELESS IF YOU ARE NOT FOCUSED. IN FACT, YOUR GIFT WILL BECOME THE REASON for your distraction. People call me, somebody called me the other day and said, "We are acting a movie. Come and act as a pastor and and speak during the pastoral session." I said, "I'm not an actor. I'm not an actor. Anybody can play that role. Call them." Some people called me the other time. They said they had an occasion. They wanted me to come to come be an MC. I say I'm not an MC. I can help you pay to get an MC. I am a witness to a generation. When I talk, I conjure [music] spirits. When I talk, I

32:41 change the lives of people. I don't talk for fun. I TALK TO CREATE IMPACT. I'm on a course and my attention is faced there. Jesus said, "For this cause was I born." [music] He said, "For this cause came I into the world that I may bear witness to the truth." He knew where he was going to and he stayed on track. If I meet your friends, I can tell how far you will go in your journey. I can tell. I don't need to be prophetic. I will tell where you are going to and how far you will go to. Even the people of the world know they say birds of a feather flock together. A man who has no focus is moved by everything. I came to now I know a lot of people but

33:26 I stayed indoors. I came to preach when I'm done I'm out. I didn't come here for fun fair. If I'm coming for holiday I will take [music] time and come with my wife. Now I came to preach. Some people call you and they are so offended that you didn't pick their call. Sir you are calling me at your free time. Do you know my free time? Your free time is not my free time. When I am free I will return the call and I may not be free for 2 weeks. is not arrogance where I'm going to have put a law on me. YOU MAY HAVE THE LIBERTY TO BE ON YOUR PHONE FOR 12 HOURS. I MAY BE PERMITTED to make calls for 1 hour in a day and if your call doesn't come in when I'm supposed to make calls, you will wait till the next time I'm making calls. I

34:11 honor you but I'm running a program because I'm going somewhere. Careless about everything. You wake up, you're on Facebook, you are looking for pictures and videos to distract you. You look at this one, you scroll away. You look at this one, you scroll away. By the time you are 70 years old, you will not even have money to buy that phone. Elohim Adonai, [music] do you know? Do you know that the LEVEL OF LIGHT YOU carry is a function of focus? I'm a scientist. There's a lens we call converging lens. >> Yes, sir. >> When you put that lens under the sun at

34:57 the right focal point, that lens can harness the energy of the sun and set a black object ablaze by converging. That's why in Matthew 6:22, the Bible said, "If your eyes be single, your whole body will be full of light." Now, what does light do for you? Job 29:4 as I was in the days of my youth. When the secret of God will support my tabernacle, he say by light I walk through darkness. When you see PEOPLE SUCCEEDING REGARDLESS OF OPPOSITION is the light they carry BECAUSE THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS AND THE DARKNESS comprehended [music] it not. YOU WILL GIVE EXCUSES SO LONG as your focus is scattered. But when you

35:43 become focused, every challenge that bring men down will become a platform for YOUR MANIFESTATION. HOPE YOU KNOW YOU and I are hailing Ben in the dosa today because he raised dead men. Is the same dead men that made Ben in the dosa famous that sent some people out of ministry. The reason some people were labeled fake is because of [music] their attempt to raise the dead. Some even manipulated to get people who are not there to lie in coffee. Your focus WILL BECOME A LIGHT and your light will distinguish you. We are so blunt and that's why we struggle with everything. They say when the edge of the sword of the axe is blunt, it will

36:30 require a lot of energy. that you are putting so much energy does not mean you are doing so much. 8 years ago, 9 years ago, when we were being taught how to cast out demons, we will be on one demonic case for 4 hours and when we step out, we say, "Ah, we we we handled that demon for 4 hours. We were there. We were there. We were bragging that we had stamina. Somebody told us you are with a demon for 4 hours. The next time we went to cast out demon after we prayed in tongues for 4 hours, we will move around. We will sing war. There are songs that are warfare song. We will sing all those warfare song. When we sing those song, we will dance like warriors. We will touch the demon.

37:16 We will sprinkle water. EVERYTHING WE KNOW. AFTER 4 HOURS THE LADY WILL SHOUT and fall down or the man will fall down. We will now be coming out with sweat. All our clothes is wet. And then we are walking like like warriors. One day we went out to cast out demon with a brother who had light. The moment he showed up, the demon looked at him, screamed and fell down. What is [music] going on? He said, "You are taking 4 hours because you don't have revelation." What? I don't have revelation. It doesn't HAVE TO BE 4 HOURS. We now realize that 4 hours was not a record of praise. It was actually a record of disadvantage.

38:04 But it will take focus to win in life. It will take focus to rule in life because focus brings you the illumination required to create a distinction in your life. It's a price you must pay. And finally, for you to be a world changer, you must become a being of love. Our our world is dying. There's wickedness. There is evil in our world. Too many people are already bitter and embittered by the things they've gone through. You cannot impact people until you first of all love them. In John 21:15, Jesus came to Peter and said, "Lovest thou me more than this?" He said, "Lord,

38:51 you know I love you." He [music] said, "Keep my flock." He said, "Lovest thou me?" He asked him the question three times. I know you have discipled you. I know you are anointed. But the question I want to ask you is, can I trust you enough to hand people to you? Can I trust you enough to hand territories to you? The code is love. People pray for power. People pray for wonder. But their heart is full of bitterness. And so people come under them and they end up enslaving them. Many places today where we call house of God. When you come there, they will you, put you on a witchie and start pushing you. And all your life you will be inted to them thinking they have helped you. But you went there as a fire brand. You ended up a mediocre because they will kill your

39:38 confidence. They will kill your giftings. When they know that you have completely BECOME A MEDIOCRE, THEN they start helping you and all your life you'll be dependent on them. That generation that have been bound by witchcraft, a new order of deliverance is coming for them. You don't have love, YOU CAN'T IMPART ANYBODY. YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE, YOU CAN'T AFFECT YOUR WORLD. The Bible said in Hebrews 11:33, he spoke of the great men of faith. He said through faith they subdued kingdom. But we saw in Galatians 5:6 that those men were actually not functioning by faith. They were functioning by love because faith workketh by love. Many times the reason what we are looking for we never

40:23 get is because our heart is evil. Watch a man today who is acting as if he's humble when he's empowered. You'll be shocked. People come AROUND HIM. BECOME WORST VERSION OF THEMSELVES because they are only there to use people. So long as you can hail the man on a pulpit, everything is well with you. So long as you route all the honor to him, everything is well with you. But the day God begins to [music] do something with you, you become a rebel. There is darkness in the heart of people. A generation that is full of love must arise for God to be able to entrust us with the power to cause changes. Do you think Do you think it's hard for God to empower us? It cost God nothing. God picked MOSES WITH A STAFF. He shot down Egypt. But Moses was tender at heart.

41:09 The Bible called him the meakest of all men that lived. A point came. Moses was praying to God in Exodus 22. He say, "If you will not forgive these people," he say, "Remove my name from your book of life." Moses was willing to be eternally condemned because of Israel. He had love for the people. God had promised Moses. He said, "I will end this generation and I will start a new generation with you." Is that not a doorway to greatness? God himself gives you an offer that is going to destroy a whole generation and start a new generation with you. Moses said, "No, far be it from you. How do you want the nations to hear that you deliver them from Egypt and destroy them in the [music] wilderness?" What about your covenant to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

41:55 What kind of man is that? There's something greater than the ability to do signs and wonders. Is the heart of love. The heart of love. When Miriam and Aaron caused Moses, GOD'S ANGER CAME DOWN, STRUCK MIRIAM with leprosy. If it's in our generation today, we will stand up and make a sermon out of it and say they don't know who I am. They tried me. See what has happened to them. You too, if you want, do what they did. IT WILL BECOME THE SERMON OF OUR LIFETIME THAT THAT GUY MESSED UP WITH ME. He was struck with leprosy. Hope you saw it. We are not equal. Some of us are men of God. Moses instantly [music] began to beg God because of Miriam. To him, IT WAS NOT

42:42 ABOUT EXALTATION. He had compassion for the woman. Lord, please have mercy. It was because of Moses's intercession for the woman that fought Moses that God had mercy on her. Did you read the story of Lot and Abraham? Abraham took Lot out of Haron, made Lot a man. Lot ended up, his men began to fight Abraham's men. And when Abraham came to settle, Lot had the audacity of saying they should separate. And when they were separating, Lot choose the best portion of the land. The Bible said he saw the plains of Sodom and Gomorrah that the vegetation was green and Abraham let him go. Few years down the line Lot became a cap a captive. Lot became a slave. The Bible

43:30 said Abraham without hesitation. It said he [music] took 318 trained men of his household. Abraham literally emptied his own house to go save the man that betrayed him. He risked HIS WHOLE FAMILY AND THIS man did not even have an heir yet. If he had an heir, he will say if I die, somebody will succeed me. He risked HIS LIFE, TOOK EVERY TRAINED MAN OF HIS HOUSE and went to save Lot. [music] And when he saved Lot, he took nothing. The moment that happened, Mechisedc appeared to him and called [music] him Abraham, possessor of heaven and earth. Through love the man had entered a realm of authority that signs and wonders could not give him. When Lot Sodom was to be

44:17 destroyed the first time Abraham dared to challenge God was because of Lot. How far be it from you thou the righteous God that you should destroy both the righteous and the evil? What if you find 50 righteous men? What has Lord done for you? Lot has done nothing but the heart of love won't let him rest. When God find that kind of man, he can give him the greatest authority in the world because he knows that with that authority, the heritage of God will be preserved. Our heart is full of ego. Our heart is full of bitterness. Our heart IS FULL OF WICKEDNESS. OUR HEART IS FULL of evil machination. That's why if we like we should lie on the mountain for 40 days and 40 night, we will never have the power to rule a nation.

45:08 You want to be powerful with God, you must tell God to teach you how to love. Paul say for me to die is Christ. That means is gain for him to die. He said but for me to live is for your own advantage. He said what [music] will I do? I will stay alive because of you. God had already shown him that the moment he depart from this body, he will take the crown of life. But because the church needed to be mentored into maturity, the crown of life waited and he was there laboring. What is the quotient of love you have for your brother? What is the quotient of love you have for the body of Christ? Today when you hear that somebody falls, even the people who have not preached about Jesus for one year suddenly become evangelist of doom because IT GIVES THEM

45:56 GREAT JOY FOR THEIR BROTHERS to be put down. Have you heard what matter did? Have you heard what Magdalene did? Did you tell them? Have you told the same person what Jesus did? How come you are so INTERESTED NOW TO TELL them about what matter did? Because we are propagators of evil on account of the evil that is in our hearts. When was the last time you knel down to pray for a brother that fell? When was the last time you knel down to pray for a sister that fell and you are telling God to give you authority to save Aquaon? Which authority? So that you will [music] end up buying lands and property in Bahama Island. You think God doesn't know your motivation. [music and singing]
