WORD EXPLOSION CONFERENCE 2026 | DAY 4 | FIFTH SESSION

0:00 God's help. >> I want to to give thanks to our general overseer. He's the one who has allowed me to be here this morning to exalt on offering. I want to acknowledge all the men of God that are here, the bishops, the reverend, the pastors.

0:47 here. >> Mercy. >> Thank you. >> We our scripture is comes from the book of Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 from verse 41. Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 verse verses 41 and 42. >> I'm going to read the word of God.

1:32 >> Verse 41 of the Act of the Apostles chapter 2. Then those who gladly received his words were baptized. >> And that day about 3,000 souls were added to them. Verse 42. 42. Yes. And they continued steadfast steadfastly in the apostles doctrine

2:18 >> and fellowship in a breaking of bread and in prayers. My exaltation this evening is just to tell you if you want to grow >> in the Lord, >> in the faith, >> spiritually, you need four pillars. The first pillar is the meditation of the word of God. A Christian will not go without the foundation of the word of God.

3:06 The second pillar, a Christian will not grow if he doesn't have a prayer life. Thirdly, A Christian will not grow if they he doesn't live in the fellowship with the brethren. Fourth one. A Christian will not grow if he doesn't partake to the breaking of bread.

3:51 When we see the text that we are reading, we are talking about the first church. We are told that this church it was a growing church. And so what made this church to be great? And what made this church to grow? It was this these pillars that were revealed to us concerning the word. >> It said that when we meditate upon the word and we practice it and we receive the blessing from God.

4:40 When it comes to prayer, the Bible says Pray until your joy becomes perfect in the Lord. >> Thirdly, it's a good thing for the brethren to dwell together because that's where God spread his blessings. >> I'm going to talk about on the fourth pillar. where God is asking us >> to live by the uh breaking of bread

5:30 I don't know if it's the same word in French and in English but in French it means that you have a heart that shares A Christian will not grow if he doesn't know how to share >> to share with the brethren. >> And the Bible says we should share first with our brethren. Uh I like what uh our speakers just said. Why should you always wait to hear upon the Lord on what we shall give to him?

6:22 But when it comes to paying school fees of our children, we don't wait upon the Lord. The Bible says, "Gives and it shall be given a good measure pressed down, >> shaken that to overflow." >> Can someone says, "Amen." Yeah. The second point here, do you know that there are three principles when it comes to offering? >> Let me just give the three then I'll be done.

7:07 The first one, it's called the principle of the multiplication. The offering that we give to God allows God to multiply our resources. Uh uh in Congo for example, we we have churches that have excelled in different point of view. They have excelled in the word of God. They have excelled in the prayers. They have also excels in the fellowship of the

7:52 but they they don't excel in the area of giving so they be they have become more spiritual >> but materially they are weak myself here of life I lead the bread of life church October October last October Oh, this coming October we'll be celebrating 30 years. >> Thank you. >> Mercy. >> Thank you. >> Bread of life. >> When I joined Bread of Life. I never had anything.

8:38 >> I was not like this the way I am. I was not looking the way I'm looking today. There's a sister from our church. When she saw one of my photos, she she refused to admit that it was me because what she was looking at the picture never resemble who I am today, what has blessed us under the grace of our bishop Joy Makando

9:24 >> because he has taught us. >> He has taught us a Christian must be a giver. >> He shall he must be someone who is balanced. >> You must be strong in the words, strong in prayers, >> strong in the fellowship and also strong in giving. I'm going to end here. >> Our offering must uh must resemble

10:16 uh what God has given us. You can't give to God what doesn't mean anything to you. >> If you don't have, >> God knows that you don't have. >> But if you have, >> he knows that you have that man. But the one who uh you know found >> he he gave to God an offering. [snorts] >> Oh yeah. He he gave to God uh small

11:01 gods. That's God. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> No, not God. >> Hoses. Uh no. No. No. No, no. Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. He He offered God. Yeah. >> Okay. Mhm. >> And he kept he offered to God. He gave some bread and some but in the night >> God appeared to to tell him

11:50 you see the cow God asked him to offer a cow. >> Yes. comparative to the small goats that he offered before and God ask him to offer two cows. >> But him offered a small goat. If you know where you are going to, you need to know how to give a to end here. Every time we offer to God,

12:37 God doesn't look at what we keep. God look at what we keep. That's why he he said to the woman who gave in the temple that she gave more than everyone because she gave everything she had. But God never paid attention to those that gave more because it was just uh extra that they have given. What I want to remind you today is to

13:23 learn to give the best to God. >> May God bless you. [cheering] [applause] Just going to give him all the glory and all the praise because he deserves it. Amen.

35:25 The Amen. Luke chapter 15, please. Luke chapter 15. Remain standing for about three more minutes as we read our anchor scripture for the evening. Luke 15 is a chapter dedicated to three things that were lost and then were found. The first was a

36:13 sheep that was lost or was it a goat? Was it a sheep or was it a goat? We It was a sheep that was lost. And then there was a coin that was lost. And then there was a man that was lost. Every one of them with their individual values. Verse 6 verse 9 verse 32. Luke 15 6 9 32. And when he came home, he called together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep

37:01 which was lost." It was lost. It didn't know it was lost. It might have. 159 And when she had found the coin, she called her friends and her neighbors together, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the peace which I had lost." Her neighbors who bothered them called neighbors and friends, and they rejoiced. 1532 1532

37:47 The younger brother was complaining to the father that you've made a big party for this young man that went away and spent all his money. And the father then responds to him and says, "Everything that is here belongs to you." Verse 32. It was necessary. It was necessary that we should make Mary and be glad. For this your brother was dead and is alive again. He was lost and he is found. Father, add a blessing to your word in Jesus name. Amen. Before you sit down, give three people a high five and tell them, "I'm not lost.

38:44 Please be seated." Psalm 139, the Living Bible Translation. I love this, Matthew. Where are you? Where's Matty? Wave your hand wherever you're Matty. Shout I'm here. Psalm 139 verse7. Have you got it? I can never be lost. The the living Bible. No, the living Bible. 139:7

39:29 says, "I can never be lost to your spirit. I can never get away from God." Tonight, I'm going to preach to you on the subject, I can never be lost. >> I can never be lost. Last week, Chich and I were in London. We flew British Airways. We got there on Tuesday, and uh I took off on a date night. We went out to have a bite to eat. And then the next morning uh I was getting ready for I was preaching Wednesday night uh with uh Dr. Paula White. And so I had gone for a run which is normal for me because I usually preach the message before I get to the service.

40:16 I did that this afternoon. And uh as I came back into the hotel, there was an elderly gentleman there uh Indian gentleman because there was a conference a very large conference for a Pentecostal holiness church. uh and most of the delegates were Indians from the country of India most of them and Indians throughout the UK and of course from Europe and uh I'm part Indian and so my heart really is touched with Indian people generally but this man was an elderly gentleman he was at least in his mid8s his hair was white he had a white beard that was big he looked a little bit like

41:03 manu I was like, "Oh my god." And he was walking very slowly, shuffling, and he came to the young lady at the concage desk, and he said to her in a very soft voice, which made me emotional. He said, "I'm lost. I don't know where I am." And immediately I got this message, I'm not lost. It's a very very difficult thing to be lost and not know where you are. I had a friend, he's late now, at a church in Washington DC, a phenomenal church, probably some of the best praise and worship ever I'd been in in my life. And

41:51 that's up there. Praise and worship was an hour 30 minutes. And they used to do two services. They just used to go and let the people dance and dance and dance and dance. It was a phenomenal church. He lost his wife and then he started losing it because he couldn't live without his wife and uh I went to go and see him. His son called me. I went to go and preach to him and see him. And uh it had got so bad uh he just got in his car one day. He had a Bentley several and he just got in the car and started driving. And then

42:36 uh the signal came on that you have no fuel. And a voice saying you have 20 kilometers or 20 miles of fuel left. And he didn't know where he was. And so he came off the freeway and saw a a petrol station, a fueling station, and he went up to a man. He still had his pajamas on. He was wearing his slippers. His hair wasn't done. And he gets out of a Bentley and he says to the attendant that was there inside, "I don't know where I am. I don't have any money. I need petrol in my car." So the person is looking at him with a look, you know, are you crazy? And so he remembered a phone number. He

43:24 said, "Please phone this number." And it was his oldest son. They were looking for him. They had no idea where he was. He had no idea he was. So the man said to him, "Your father, your father is almost going now into the state of Georgia from atlant from Washington DC and uh what's wrong?" So they said just keep him there. Please give him something to eat. Uh I'm going to charter a helicopter and come and meet dad. And he was telling me that uh when we talked with him, I said, "What

44:11 happened?" He said to me, he said to me, "Trud, there are times in my life after my wife died." He mentioned her name. He said, "I was I just be lost." He said, "From Sunday to Sunday, I just stay in bed. Saturdays my children would come and say, "It's church tomorrow." Uh somebody would come in and you know, bring him food and they dress him. He'd get in the pool and preach like he was on fire, like he was going crazy, anointed. And as soon as he was out of the pool back home, he was just in a state of affairs where he was totally lost. And what brought him back was his youngest daughter, little girl. Uh she was 10 when her mother died. And uh she had just turned 12. and she

44:56 came into his bedroom on a Thursday screaming, screaming, "I'm dying. I'm dying. There's nobody to help me." And she didn't know that she was having her first menstrual cycle. And he didn't know how to deal with that because he had older boys and never had a daughter. And because of where she was bleeding from, she thought she was dying. And that's what brought him back. He looked in the mirror and he told himself, "Get a grip. You can't be so bad and be so lost." Shout, "I'm not lost." I'm not lost. Shout, "I'm not lost." There are things that can happen to

45:41 people in life where you can get so far, you can be so lost, you can be in a room full of people. There might be people in this conference where they are maybe 8,000 people full of people all praising. But you were lost. You were alone. Your business was taken. A child died. Your house was confiscated. You lost your seat in the last elections. Ah, you are lost. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I apologize. Amen.

46:27 There was a wonderful meeting going on in eternity. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. But before he created matter, the molecular world, he created the angelic world. And there was one that lost his way. Lucifer. He lost his way. He got drunk with himself. He was inebriated in his head, in his self-worth. He made himself bigger than he was. He was big, but he made himself bigger than he was. And the reason the Bible called Jesus calls him the father of lies is because he was the one that created the lie.

47:12 He lied to himself that you are bigger than Michael. You are bigger than Gabriel. You are bigger than Raphael. You are bigger than the Saraphims. And he even said you are even bigger than God himself. And when he said that, he lied to himself and fathered the whole world of lying. And then after he lied to himself, he then lied to a third of the angels. And a third of the angels, the Bible says in Peter, lost their estate. And they are the ones with demonic spirits that have been giving human beings hell from Adam's day to the last human being that will ever live on the

47:58 earth. Along the way, with human beings being lost, God separated himself from the first humans. God then began a salvation program step by step, step by step until Jesus came. On that journey to coming to Jesus, you have Abraham and then Isaac and then Jacob and the 12 brothers and then uh Moses writes the books and then Joshua writes a book and then Judges is written and then we come to the Samuels and from the Samuels the Kings chronicles all the way to Malachi and

48:44 then Jesus comes up and says, "I've come to seek and to save that which was lost." Shout three times, "I am not lost. I am not lost. I am not lost." And so, and so, so uh there are he didn't just come to save a lost soul. That's the most important thing. The second most important thing, what was lost was God's image in the earth, the way it was created in the Garden of Eden. So, he came to restore his image and his likeness in the earth because that's what was lost. He came to restore prosperity to the

49:32 human that was given the earth because 4:24 of the book of Psalms says the earth is the Lord's. It's his personal property and the fullness thereof. The people that are in it, they all belong to God. It's his personal property. He gave Adam the earth as a gift. And then when Satan took that from Adam and became king of the world, you'll see this in Luke 4 and verse 6, in Matthew 4:6, where Satan said to Jesus, "I'm showing you all the kings of this world and the glory. I have the power to give it to whomsoever I will." Adam had given his crown to Lucifer.

50:19 Jesus came to get it back. But then God found a man in Babylon. His name was Abraham. And God starts getting the world back a country at a time. He said, "Follow me. Trust me. Believe me." And the Bible says in Romans chapter number uh 4ish, verse 22ish, Abraham was not weak in faith. He staggered not at the promise of God because he knew that God was able to do what he had promised. Chapter number uh 3 and verse 13, 144 and 15 of Galatians. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us that the blessing of

51:06 Abraham should come upon the Gentiles and that we should receive the spirit by faith through Jesus Christ. Verse 29. And if we are Christ's we are Abraham's seed and is according to the promise. What was God's promise? Romans 8 says God promised Abraham the world. But he didn't give him the world. He gave him a country at a time. He gave him the promised land. To get what was lost, it takes a lot. A piece at a time. Tell someone say, "It's a piece at a time." If you lost anything, it's a piece at a time. If you lost your health, you will get your health back a step at a time. If you've lost your mind because of

51:53 pressure or because of mental challenges, you will get your mind back a piece at a time. If your emotions have been rattled and you have lost stability, you will get joy, happiness, and peace, a piece at a time. The devil is a liar. Whatever you have lost is coming back. Shout, "It's coming back." is coming back a piece at a time. I wasn't doing so well yesterday, but today I'm better than I was yesterday. And I know that if I'm better today than I was yesterday, I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT TOMORROW I'LL BE BETTER THAN TODAY. CLAP YOUR HANDS AND GIVE GOD A PRAISE.

52:41 OH, I FEEL THE PREACHER coming now. I feel the preacher coming. A person can lose their way. You can lose your way. You can lose your thoughts. You can lose directions. I many many times uh I've lost directions going. And uh I hope she's not watching because sometimes when a man loses his way and the wife says you are going the wrong way, the man will never listen to his wife. You just keep on going the wrong way because his wife said you are going the wrong way. [laughter] Amen. If you have a husband sitting next, you just look at him. Yeah. Yeah. Your wife is right. You must listen to

53:27 her. Especially when it comes to directions. And one time I was lost. I was going in the wrong direction by almost 100 kilometers. Almost 100 kilometers. Amen. There's a woman coming to give money for her husband who lost his way. [cheering] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. And just the fact of losing that your way when you're driving in the wrong direction in the opposite direction just the feeling I could have been there. I could have been there. I could have done that. But what was lost will be restored to your life. Amen. >> Amen. Sometimes we can be in a group. I was sitting with a group of very

54:14 intelligent men that were in the medical field and uh I can talk. I got a big mouth. I talk a lot. But while they were talking, I was totally lost because the terminologies, the points of references they were using. I can talk. But they were talking in a field I had no knowledge of. And so they asked me what I do because uh I am a doctor PhD and so they want to know what field I was in. So I said in the field of uh religious philosophy and so I started talking Bible and they were [clears throat] lost because I didn't want to be the only one lost in the room.

55:03 [cheering] Amen. I also know. You know, but I also know. Amen. I'm lost in your field, but you'll be lost in my field. Amen. Amen. Sometimes we can be lost, sisters and brothers. Uh I remember we were going to a mission field and we had taken a road and apparently it was the the the the long road. And so there was some young men and Mike were asking them how far is this place, Bhera? And they were saying in in a it's just here. You know the people in the rural areas when you are going somewhere they say ah it's right here just go there you'll see a big tree you'll see a fat woman you'll see a mud hut just there round there round there

55:49 you'll see the place and you walk and walk and walk you come you see another place you say where's this PLACE AH YOU ARE RIGHT HERE JUST A FEW STEPS. AMEN. AMEN. Just here. I'm telling you, just here. Your blessing is here. It's by the door. It's coming in this room. It's walking down the aisle. It's looking for you. It's trying to find your seat. It's looking for your name. Shout three times. That's me. >> Sisters and brothers, a man can lose his way. Not in direction. In terms of traveling somewhere, a man can lose his way. You a man can start up and a woman you can start up so well in life. You

56:36 can be so well in life going in the right direction fulfilling the promises that the universe that life itself demands of a human being. And then suddenly you make some money and then a man starts losing his way, leaves his wife, plays with small girls, throws his money away, uh acts foolish, and and when he's lost it all, like the prodical son, that man has lost his way. I've seen politicians who start well, they promise to do well, but when they taste the seat of power, when they get just a handful of US dollars, a half a seat on a private jet, they lose their way and

57:23 they become corrupt, become scandalous, they lose their way. I've seen men of God who paid a heavy price to start a ministry, used to sleep on the floor in a mud hut, had a was it a goat or a sheep? Which one? Had one goat, a small goat. Had no money, one shoe, one trouser that you used to patch, patch, patch. Started with nothing. Now you in town, you've got a big church, you got a Land Cruiser. People are calling you. I've seen preachers of renown lose their way. They think that this pulpit is life. This pulpit is not life. Life is outside the pullpit. >> Amen. Life is outside the pit. have seen men lose their way, introduce strange

58:10 doctrines, teach foolish things, uh scam members for money, cheat people, people who lose preachers who have lost their way. I'VE SEEN WHOLE CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS LOSE their way. A WHOLE CHURCH ORGANIZATION LOST its way where they voted at the AGM that they're going to ordain uh homosexual men and that they are going to allow their priest to marry another man. THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION, A WHOLE CHURCH LOSING ITS WAY. HOW CAN A WHOLE ORGANIZATION LOSE ITS WAY? How how how can a whole organization that fear God that call the name of Jesus that believe

58:58 THE APOSTLES CREED? HOW CAN A WHOLE ORGANIZATION GET LOST? We've seen it. We've seen it. You look at what's happening in Ukraine and Russia. I don't know what's happened there with the Russians. Why they unprovoked started bombing in Ukraine just losing their way. A WHOLE COUNTRY can lose its way JUST BECAUSE A FEW individuals want to benefit. Shout three times, I'm not lost. I'm not lost. Aha. In Matthew chapter 5 and verse number uh three, Jesus said this. He said, "You

59:43 are the salt of the earth. If the salt has lost its savor, wherewith then can it be salted? Shout, "I will not lose my savor." >> Come on. Come on. Come on. I will not lose my savor. >> Amen. I've seen people lose their edge. One of the things that I try to do as an individual is stay current. read all kinds of books regularly over and over and over again so I can stay relevant and current because I don't want to lose my edge as a gospel preacher. I don't want to come here and preach for Bishop Immacondor. This thing is not

1:00:28 cooperating. uh and preach for you wonderful people and uh people walk and say ah should have bismar he's no longer the line of Africa he's the mouse of Zimbabwe and people say will say what happened it's because you lose your edge you become complacent you become dosile you vacasillate you become vegetative you are nonprogressive your brain stops growing You stop thinking. You start preaching things that you preached a long time ago and you'll think you'll get away with it. You stop praying. Stop studying. Stop comparing sharpening iron with iron. Stop being agile. And and

1:01:16 then you lose your edge. I declare I will not lose my edge. I will not lose my edge. I've seen people lose purpose. I've seen people lose significance, lost their cutting edge, lost I've seen people lose respect. I've seen people lose respect. There's a man that I admired for years, for decades. He did some foolish things. I lost respect for that man. People don't respect him any anymore. How can you have an old man behaving like a teenager acting foolish? He lost his respect, lost his honor. I've seen people lose power. I've seen people lose momentum. A

1:02:02 family, a church, a country can lose momentum. I declare that you will not lose any of those. >> Come on, say amen. >> Jesus said to the apostles, I want you to go and preach in 10 of Matthew. Go and preach to the lost sheep of Israel. The nation of Israel, the people of God were lost and they didn't even know it. It's a tragedy to be lost and you don't know it. A woman came in John in Matthew uh 15 begged Jesus to heal her daughter who was devilpossessed and had epilepsy. And Jesus said to her, "I haven't come to the dogs. I've come to the lost sheep of Israel." Israel as a nation were lost. their leaders, their priests, the

1:02:48 high priests, the Levites, the aeronic order were lost. They didn't even know they were lost. Amen. That will never be with you. And so now as I start coming towards the middle of my message to start winding up, the people started making a demand. They want a king. And God had his man Samuel who was born through intercessory prayer. Hannah was praying so hard in Shiloh for a child. Her counterpart Panaya was having children to just about every year. But she was praying in a system where Eli was lost. He had lost the vision. There

1:03:35 was no open vision. He lost the vision. The light had gone out in the temple. They lost the light. The boys Phineas and Hoffnne had lost their way. They were corrupting the people's sacrifices. And Eli, Eli, who once was a man of God, had lost almost everything. And so Hannah came and started praying so deeply and began to prophesy in the spirit because she prayed in glossleia, a language that no one could understand. She had a New Testament moment in an Old Testament setting. That's what desperation will do for you. Desperation

1:04:21 will pull your future into your present and make things happen for you. That's why this conference is important because people have come here with a higher expectation. And so Eli said to her, "You're drunk." She said, "I'm a drunk. I want a baby. I'm desperate." He said, "Next year, this time you'll have a baby." Someone with desperation who didn't have a child. For a single moment brought AN OLD MAN BACK TO WHAT HE USED to be. HE WAS SO LOST AND SO FAR FROM GOD, so out of touch with the things of God. A WOMAN WITH DESPERATION LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE BROUGHT HIM [screaming] BACK. IF IT WAS JUST FOR 12 seconds, I

1:05:07 declare that someone here in your hunger and your desperation, you're going to find a lost coin that you are s searching for. You're going to find that lost child that you've been praying for. You're going to find, sisters and brothers, you're going to find that lost sheep, that lost coin, that lost son. You will find it. It's going to come home. It's yours. Give your neighbor a high five and say, "I'm not lost." And so, SISTERS AND BROTHERS, Saul is the first king of Israel. The Bible says Samuel gathered the people in 1st Samuel 7 and poured water

1:05:53 on an altar in Mispa and offered a sacrifice to the Lord there. Shortly after that, the people said, "We want a king." Why do you want a king? Because we want to be like other nations. We feel as a nation, we are lost without a king. Samuel tried to tell the people, "If you get a king, he will be abusive. He will abuse your daughters and take your land and charge you taxes. They said, "Nonetheless, we want a king because as a nation, we feel so lost."

1:06:40 Samuel tried to tell them, "You have God Almighty as the King of Kings and your ruler." They said to Samuel, "It's easy for you to say because God talks to you. He doesn't talk to us. You don't feel lost, but we feel lost." And Samuel took that to the Lord. And God said, "Uh, I have a man I have set aside who will be the king of Israel. His name is Saul. He's a Benjamite from Kish. He's head and shoulders above the people. And so Samuel was in Rama

1:07:30 sitting in the gate when Saul showed up. He was looking for his donkeys that were lost. The man was so humble. And the man was so poor he didn't even have a half a cent to give an offering to the prophet. His servant had to give him a loan. And when he walked towards Samuel, Samuel saw that this man was so lost. He's the biggest man in the country, but he's lost. He's got a business, but he's lost. It's like Tammy that's trying to play. He's lost. Tell your

1:08:15 neighbor I'm not lost. You can be the biggest person yet lost. You can be the best singer in the choir yet you lost in the crowd. You can have the biggest church in the Breath of Life group yet you're lost. Welcome back. I tell you sisters and brothers, there's no feeling like a feeling when you a lot of people and you're lost. Put your hand over your heart and say, "I'm not lost." >> And so Samuel said to Saul, "You got to come inside and have something to eat.

1:09:07 Commercial. Commercial break. Beck. Commercial is over. I had to get some air time. [cheering] I had to take a commercial break and get some air time. back on screen now. Saul was so hungry. He is the biggest man. He's lost, but he's hungry. And Samuel called 30 elders and said, "I want you to come and see the king of Israel." The chef cooked a meal for Saul. Samuel was not a poor prophet.

1:09:53 His dining room table seated 30 people and the chef cooked the shoulder of a sheep or was it a goat? Cook the shoulder force the king. And Samuel was telling him the shoulder means the government is on your life because the Bible says the government will be upon your shoulders. He was eating a metaphoric meal, a transfer, an impartation of governmental anointing from the man Samuel onto the man Saul to be king of the people. He started well because the

1:10:40 day he was supposed to be crowned in chapter number nine, he was hiding away. The biggest man with the strongest anointing hiding away because he was humble and nimble. He was lost in the idea, am I really the king or are they making fun of me? Can you imagine the psychological damage this man had been suffering? A big man in the nation pulling donkeys all his life. Can you imagine the Range Rover people and the MercedesBenz people and the BMW people and the people with donkeys or sheeps OR

1:11:28 WAS IT A GOAT? Can you imagine all of that? And here's this big big man pushing donkeys. And so all his life people are laughing at him. He may have thought this is to laugh at me again. Because if I show up there and I say I'm the king, [clears throat] it might instigate and cause people to laugh at me. I can't take it anymore. They went and they found him. poured oil on him, found a crown for him, put it on his head, and said, "Long live the king. God save the king." Saul

1:12:14 became the first physical king of Israel. He started to change when people started to serve him. when people became afraid of him. When money was put at his feet, where he didn't have to run after it, he never had to cook a meal. He never had to wash a plate. He never had to sweep a floor. He never had to wash his clothes. He never had to uh uh uh organize his wardrobe. It was all done for him. And then the soldiers started lining up for them. He started handing out ranks. General so and so, Lieutenant General,

1:13:03 uh uh captain Colonel, Lieutenant, Sergeant Major, and all of them are saluting him. God saved the king and he started enjoying the power, started loving the power and then he started changing. I said he started changing. One day the Lord gave Samuel an instruction and said, "We've got to go back to chapter 17 of Exodus. what the Amalachites did at Refiddm to my people when they left Egypt. I FEEL LIKE PREACHING NOW. He said, "I promised I'm going to pay the Amalachites back, the first king in my

1:13:52 nation." That's his assignment to see if he's got my heart. TELL SAUL [screaming] TO GO TO AMALECCH AND WIPE OUT THE MEN. WIPE OUT THE KING, THE PRINCES, the princesses, all the military men, all the businessmen, every male, every wife, female, every teenage boy and girl, every baby. Kill the baby boys. Kill the baby girls. Kill the cattle, the goats, the sheep, the camels. kill everything. Saul went down there. He started getting

1:14:38 drunk on himself. Saul, be careful. You're going down the WRONG ROAD. YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET LOST. He didn't want to listen to anybody. He brought THE KING, THE FAT king Ahag. He brought SHEEP AND GOATS AND he brought cows. And when Samuel came, he said, "WHAT IS THIS?" I SEE. And what is this? I hear the bleeding of sheep and the cows. He said, "I brought this as a gift." He said, "You've been disobedient. Because you've been disobedient, another is coming in your place." Shout, "No one's TAKING MY PLACE." COME ON,

1:15:25 SAY, "NO ONE'S TAKING MY PLACE. TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, SAY, "NO ONE IS TAKING MY PLACE. I'VE GOT MY PLACE. GOD PUT ME HERE. [screaming] NO ONE IS TAKING MY PLACE. NO ONE IS TAKING MY ANOINTING. NO ONE IS TAKING MY GIFT. NO ONE IS TAKING MY POWER. NO ONE IS TAKING MY POSITION." YEAH. And as Saul Samuel began to walk away, Saul grabbed him and tore his garments. AND SAMUEL SAID TO SAUL, "AS YOU HAVE TORN MY GARMENTS, your kingdom is being torn

1:16:14 away from you." SAY, "LORD, DON'T TEAR AWAY MY ANOINTING." COME ON, SING WITH PASSION. SAY, "LORD, DON'T TAKE AWAY MY ANOINTING." SAY "LORD DON'T TAKE away my anointing." Give God a praise. [music] Hallelujah. I'm nearly there. I'm nearly there. And then Saul said, "There's a battle coming up. Wait for me. Don't perform the sacrifice." Samuel was taking his time. Saul was

1:17:03 anxious. Anxious. He took the knife and made the burnt offering. Saul, you're losing yourself. Turn to your neighbor. Say, "DON'T LOSE YOURSELF. DON'T GET LOST. DON'T GET LOST. [snorts] THIS microphone is dangerous. It can make you THINK YOU'RE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT. Don't get lost. Tell a handsome man. Point at a handsome man. Say, "Don't get lost." Ah, there are very few handsome men. When he made the sacrifice, Samuel said to Saul, "You've lost it now. You've done it." He started saying,

1:17:50 "Help me. Give me your chance." Saul lost it. One day he said, "Nobody eats. We fasting today." But Jonathan never heard the message. Jonathan found honey and started eating honey. SAUL SAID, "WE GOT TO KILL JONATHAN." They said, "How can you kill Jonathan? He was the one that got us the victory climbing up the mountain and killed the Philistines. He's the best man we have. How can you kill your own son?" SAUL LOST IT. And then when Saul saw David kill Goliath and heard the

1:18:37 women singing, Saul has killed a thousand and David 10,000. SAUL LOST IT AND STARTED CHASING DAVID'S FOR 13 years around the wilderness. SAUL LOST IT. AT THE VERY END, he lost it so bad. HE WENT TO A SAN AND SAID, "BRING ME SAMUEL. I WANT A TASTE OF WHAT I USED TO HAVE. I'M SO LOST. I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF ANOINTING LIKE I USED TO HAVE." THE WITCH BROUGHT SAMUEL UP AND SAMUEL SAID, "WHY ARE YOU troubling me?" here.

1:19:23 He said, "I WANT WHAT I USED TO HAVE." YOU CAN'T GET WHAT YOU USED TO HAVE IF YOU DO THE THINGS THAT TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU USED TO HAVE. SHOUT THREE TIMES. I REFUSE TO BE LOST. Clap your hands somebody. Saul lost it when he killed the Gibeonites. SAUL LOST IT when he killed the priest at Shiloh. He was so facitious, so angry. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HUMBLE MAN? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NIMBLE MAN? DON'T GET TO A PLACE WHERE YOU LOSE IT.

1:20:11 Sisters and brothers, Solomon's son, Riaboam, he lost it. TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, DON'T LOSE IT. CAHESA, CAHESA, ELISHA'S SERVANT, HE LOST it when HE TOOK THE MONEY FROM NON. SHALL I LOSE IT? HALLELUJAH. I CAME TO TELL you as I'm closing now, I HAVEN'T LOST MY WAY. >> [music] >> I haven't lost my mind. I haven't lost control. I haven't lost my direction. I HAVEN'T [screaming] LOST MY INTEGRITY. I HAVEN'T LOST MY VISION. I HAVEN'T LOST

1:20:58 MY INTENSITY. I HAVEN'T LOST MY PURPOSE. I HAVEN'T LOST THE PROMISES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME. I'M NOT LOST. I'M STILL STANDING. I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. I'M NOT LOST. I STILL HAVE DIRECTION. I'M NOT LOST. I'M IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH. I'M NOT LOST. I'M EATING AT A TABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES. I'M NOT LOST. I'M GOING TO THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH. GIVE GOD A PRAISE.

1:21:46 DON'T LOSE YOUR INTEGRITY. DON'T LOSE YOUR MENTALITY. DON'T LOSE YOUR PASSION. DON'T LOSE YOUR PRAYER. DON'T LOSE YOUR FASTING. DON'T LOSE YOUR ANOINTING. DON'T LOSE YOUR GIFT. DON'T LOSE YOUR MARRIAGE. DON'T LOSE YOUR MONEY. DON'T LOSE YOUR FAMILY. DON'T LOSE YOUR BLESSING. [music] STAND AND GIVE THREE PEOPLE A HIGH FIVE. [music] TELL THEM, "I'M NOT LOST.

1:22:32 I'm not lost. [music] >> [music] >> IF YOU LOST A SHEEP, YOU'LL FIND IT. IF YOU LOST A COIN, IT'S COMING BACK TO YOU. IF YOU LOST YOUR MONEY, IT'S LOOKING FOR YOU. IF YOU LOST YOUR BUILDING, IT'S COMING TO YOU. IF SOMEBODY DIED AND YOU LOST A MEMBER, GOD WILL RAISE UP A BLESSING IN YOUR LIFE. SHOUT THREE TIMES, "I'M NOT LOST."

1:23:22 TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME. ONCE YOU'VE TAKEN ONE [screaming] STEP, TAKE ANOTHER STEP AND SAY, "I'M NOT LOST." IF YOU TRYING TO GET TO THE NEXT PLACE, GET STRENGTH AND TAKE ANOTHER [screaming] STEP. TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR ONE STEP AT A TIME. [music] [cheering] Keep breathless. For every woman that's feeling discouraged and downcast and you feel like you're lost, I came from Zimbabwe

1:24:07 to tell you, you're not lost. You haven't lost. You haven't lost your way. YOU HAVEN'T LOST YOUR MONEY. Don't lose your mind. For every man who hasn't have a breakthrough, your breakthrough's on the way. Don't lose it now. You're so close. JOB'S WIFE LOST IT. JOB'S WIFE LOST IT. SHE SAID, "CURSE GOD AND DIE." JOB SAID TO HIS WIFE, "YOU'RE SPEAKING LIKE A foolish woman. Don't lose it." Joseph's brothers, WHEN THEY SAW JOSEPH'S VISIONS, THEY LOST IT. SHOUT, "DON'T LOSE IT. DON'T LOSE IT. I'M NOT

1:24:54 GOING TO LOSE IT NOW. I'M SO CLOSE. I'M SO CLOSE. I'M SO CLOSE TO THE DOOR. I'M SO CLOSE TO THE BREAKTHROUGH. I'M SO CLOSE TO THE ANOINTING. I'M SO CLOSE TO MY MIRACLE.

GOD'S CARING FOR ME. DEVIL, I'M NOT LOST. I'M GOING TO ANOTHER [screaming] LEVEL. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. [screaming] YEAH. [music]

1:26:32 [cheering] It's coming back. It's coming back. That coin is coming back. That sheep is coming back. [music] King David nearly lost it when he watched a woman bathing and took her for himself and killed the husband and married her. And people thought he was a hero when he told Joab, "Put him in the front and have him killed."

1:27:20 Nathan came and said, "You are the man that has taken somebody's sheep [cheering] and said to him, [screaming] "God is giving you a chance. You are lost, David. You are lost. You are lost. You are lost. David, you are lost. You are the man. You are lost. He wept. He wrote Psalm 51. Take not your spirit from me. I know I'm lost. I know I've been acting. I know I've been putting on a show. Change this for me. And God heard his

1:28:08 prayer. You might be lost somewhere. You've been enjoying the conference the whole week, but you lost. You're going back to a home, to a house, to a family where there's nothing. You've been struggling. You've tried. There's a lady in our church. She lost all her money, Bishop, on a Ponzi scheme. They were promising her big profits. She's wept. She's worked so hard for years. Lost all her money. Another one. They robbed her. A real estate company so-called. She sold a very, very beautiful house. Took all her money.

1:28:53 Took all her money. Lost everything. Prayed for her. Prayed for her. She then lost her husband. Prayed for her. A long story short, a man was visiting our church one day a few years ago. He had seen me preaching on TBN. He was in Zimbabwe for business. Shout, "I'm not lost. >> I'm not lost." >> Shout, "I'm not lost. I'm not lost." >> God is always watching. >> She was in the service. This man came visiting Zimbabwe. a very wealthy man, extremely wealthy, mining, what what what he came to church, the music was so good. And uh he just looked like this

1:29:42 and he saw this woman. Tell someone, "God is seeing you." >> Amen. And so uh he was there for he arrived like Saturday night came to church Sunday saw the woman business was the whole week and he was flying out the next Sunday in the evening. So he came to church and he saw her again. And I had met him the first Sunday. He told me who he was. I said, "Oh, that's wonderful." Then he asked the second service about this woman. I said, "Ah, she's available." Shout three times, "Lord, I'm available.

1:30:27 >> Lord, I'm available. Lord, I'm available." >> IN HER DARKEST MOMENT, IN HER WORST TIME, God sent a man with a lot of money, property, wealthy, a man of integrity, a strong Christian. I saw her in church two weeks but one. She's looking fine. She's dressing well. She's smiling again. NO MATTER WHAT HAS BEEN LOST. IT'S NOT LOST. GOD HAS SOMETHING COMING FOR YOU.
