- 5:58Let me tell you something prophetic that
- 6:00is happening here. God is bringing West
- 6:03Africa, East Africa, South Africa. There
- 6:07is there is a a prophetic convergence
- 6:11because it's the season of the continent
- 6:13of Africa to rise that rejected stone,
- 6:17rising in power, rising in grace. It's
- 6:20been written in prophecy. Now we are
- 6:22living it in that experience. You
- 6:24believe that? Shout amen.
- 6:27Shout amen. Shout amen again. Shout amen

- 6:41Nations will sing your praise.
- 6:47Hosanana.
- 6:49[music]
- 6:51Creation will shout your praise.
- 6:58Father, tonight we thank you for your
- 7:00word.
- 7:01Thank you for the great time we've had
- 7:04with Dr. David Abui. Transformative
- 7:07time. We ask in the name of Jesus that
- 7:10you will speak to us yet again. The
- 7:13Bible says the entrance of your word
- 7:15gives light and even understanding onto
- 7:17the simple. We pray that you bless our
- 7:20hearts and we decree and declare that in
- 7:22the name of Jesus, Kenya will never be
- 7:25the same again. East Africa will never
- 7:28be the same again. Africa will never be
- 7:31the same again. [music]
- 7:32And the world will be a better place
- 7:34after this conference. You believe that?
- 7:36Say amen. Please, you may be gloriously
- 7:39seated. God bless you.
- 7:42God bless you. God bless you.
- 7:45Hallelujah.
- 7:47Now before I just make a few salutations
- 7:50and go straight to my session, let me
- 7:52make an appeal and a request. My request
- 7:55is very simple. I would request and
- 7:58require your wrapped attention and your
- 8:01silence. So if it is possible to
- 8:03minimize um I know we're rejoicing, we
- 8:06are celebrating. That time will come.
- 8:08But if you lend me your attention with
- 8:10minimal distraction from sounds and the
- 8:13whistles, I'll greatly appreciate so
- 8:15that we can receive that which God has
- 8:18for us. Is that fine?
- 8:19>> All right. God bless you. Thank you so
- 8:21much. I'd like to start by appreciating
- 8:24the conveyor of this prophetic this
- 8:28prophetic convergence. A dear friend, a
- 8:31dear brother, but we truly honor you. a
- 8:34true apostle of reformation, one who
- 8:37embodies the spirit of Nehemiah. Would
- 8:39you help me honor my dear friend and
- 8:42brother, Reverend Julian Cula? Thank you
- 8:44so much, sir. We honor you. Honor you
- 8:47greatly as touching what you represent.
- 8:50We truly thank you and we love you.
- 8:52Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.
- 8:56And I truly am honored to
- 9:00celebrate and just appreciate his
- 9:03excellency,
- 9:05your president, Dr. William R, and her
- 9:08excellency, Mrs. Rachel R. God bless
- 9:11you. Truly honor you, sir. Thank you. Is
- 9:14this how you honor your president? Come
- 9:15on, Kenya. Come on, Kenya. We are people
- 9:18of honor. We are people of honor. We
- 9:21honor you, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
- 9:24Hallelujah. Please be seated. The Bible
- 9:27says, "Blessed is a nation whose God is
- 9:30the Lord." I want to appreciate Dr.
- 9:34David Abui. How many of you were
- 9:37blessed? I mean, when I came in, I was
- 9:40just, he's a true apostle of
- 9:43reformation, a veteran of the gospel.
- 9:45Sir, I honor you. We honor you sincerely
- 9:48in the name of Jesus Christ. Let me
- 9:51thank every father of faith who is here
- 9:54represented in your various capacities.
- 9:56Thank you for the love and the labor,
- 9:59the spiritual investment upon this soil
- 10:02and across Eastern Africa. We thank you
- 10:04and we honor you as representing all
- 10:07that you have done for the kingdom. In a
- 10:08similar vein, let me appreciate the men
- 10:11and the women of God. We were only here
- 10:12for a few days, but there are vessels
- 10:14who have labored, have prayed, prepared
- 10:17the soil for our arrival, and they will
- 10:19still do the work of maintenance and
- 10:21building when we leave. Please, let's
- 10:23honor the vessels, all who serve in the
- 10:25ministry, men and women across the
- 10:28five-fold. The Lord bless you. Let me
- 10:30honor all the heads of government,
- 10:32perhaps the team that came with his
- 10:34excellency and all who are here
- 10:36deserving of honor. The Lord bless you.
- 10:38Very quickly, I want to make good use of
- 10:40my time. Um, this will be our final
- 10:43session together and I hope to make the
- 10:46most of it. So, yesterday we began a
- 10:49discussion. I've been on a two-part
- 10:51series. Tonight will be the second and
- 10:53final part. I've been teaching on the
- 10:56topic architects of hope. Architects of
- 10:59hope. Yesterday, we looked at the rise
- 11:02of rebuilders and reformers. And um, I
- 11:06emphasized a few things. Tonight we'll
- 11:08be looking at architects of hope part
- 11:10two. But very quickly just to do a brief
- 11:13recap particularly for those who were
- 11:16not able to make it here yesterday and
- 11:18then we'll go into the remaining part.
- 11:20Number one, we stressed a few things
- 11:23yesterday. [music] We said rebuilding is
- 11:26a restorative process and that it starts
- 11:30with an accurate diagnosis of what
- 11:33caused the breakdown in the first place.
- 11:36So when you are rebuilding, when you are
- 11:39reforming, the first way you approach
- 11:42the subject of rebuilding and
- 11:44reformation is to have an accurate
- 11:46diagnosis of the factors that were
- 11:49neglected that led to the decline in the
- 11:52first place. And we identified a number
- 11:55of factors that can lead to a broken
- 11:57wall. A broken wall here means it's a
- 12:00figurative expression that means decline
- 12:03that means degeneration of any and all
- 12:06sorts. We looked at that for an
- 12:08individual and that for a nation and I'm
- 12:11so honored that Dr. David Iguelli
- 12:14handled the issue of individual
- 12:16transformation because my focus tonight
- 12:19will be on nation building and how
- 12:21nations become great. Praise the name of
- 12:23the Lord. Right. So we said for an
- 12:26individual there are at least three
- 12:28factors that are responsible for any
- 12:31wall that becomes broken spiritually,
- 12:34economically and otherwise. Number one,
- 12:36we said a departure and a disconnection
- 12:39from God and his ordinances. A departure
- 12:43and a disconnection from God and his
- 12:46ordinances will always lead to decline.
- 12:49Isaiah 24 and verse 5. We considered
- 12:52that scripture that every time people
- 12:54depart and disconnect from the God of
- 12:57the Bible, there are consequences.
- 12:59Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 13:02Number two, we said the absence of
- 13:05wisdom and understanding. As the second
- 13:08cause of broken walls, broken walls in
- 13:11the life of an individual, the absence
- 13:14of wisdom and understanding. Proverbs
- 13:16says, "Through wisdom a house is built,
- 13:19and by understanding it is established.
- 13:22Through knowledge the rooms are filled
- 13:24with every treasure." It says, "By me
- 13:26kings reign, and princes decree justice.
- 13:28With me are riches, wealth, and honor,
- 13:31even durable riches, that they that love
- 13:33me, those that seek me early will find
- 13:36it." Said, "Does not wisdom cry?" Number
- 13:38three, we said the third reason as to
- 13:41why men decline, men degenerate, likened
- 13:44to a broken wall, is the absence of
- 13:47vision and purpose. The absence of
- 13:50vision and purpose. The Bible says,
- 13:54"Where there is no vision, the people
- 13:57cast off restraint or the people
- 14:00perish." Very quickly, we went on to
- 14:02look at decline and broken walls at a
- 14:06territorial level. And I gave you four
- 14:08causes for broken walls at a territorial
- 14:12or national level. Number one, I said
- 14:14just like it is for an individual, when
- 14:16nations reject God, when nations reject
- 14:20his value system, when nations
- 14:22disconnect themselves from the God of
- 14:24the Bible, there are consequences. 2
- 14:27Chronicles chapter 15 from verse three,
- 14:30the Bible says, "Now for a long time,
- 14:32Israel had no knowledge of the true God.
- 14:35They had no knowledge of teaching
- 14:37priests and of laws. And there were
- 14:39thick lines that followed when you read
- 14:41down to verse six. Hallelujah. Are we
- 14:44still together? Praise the name of the
- 14:46Lord. So number one, for a territory, a
- 14:49departure from God and his ordinances.
- 14:52And when we talk about ordinances, we
- 14:54are talking about the ordinances that
- 14:56maintain intimacy, prayer, the study of
- 15:00the word, worship, fellowship, corporate
- 15:03gathering, etc. Now very quickly we
- 15:06looked at number two that the second
- 15:08reason why nations and territories have
- 15:11their walls broken is the failure of the
- 15:14church to rise as light and salt. that
- 15:18when the church fails to play her role
- 15:21as light and salt, there will always be
- 15:24a breakdown, whether of law and order,
- 15:27whether of irresponsibility,
- 15:30increase in crime, and whatever it is
- 15:32that represents a broken wall. When the
- 15:35church, the Bible says, in redeeming
- 15:37lands, it is the business of God and his
- 15:40people. If my people, not just if
- 15:43everybody within the territory, my
- 15:46people called by my name, it says you
- 15:48are the salt of the earth, but if the
- 15:51salt has lost its sever wherewith shall
- 15:53it be salted again, it is stands forth
- 15:55good for nothing except to be cast down
- 15:58and trodden under foot of men. Then he
- 16:00says, you are the light of the world.
- 16:02You are the light of Ka. It says, you
- 16:04are a city that is set on an hill
- 16:07that cannot be hidden. Neither do men
- 16:09light a lamp and put it under a bushell,
- 16:12but that they put it on a lampstand so
- 16:14that it will give light illumination to
- 16:17all who are in the room. It says in that
- 16:19similitude, let your light so shine
- 16:22before men that they may see your good
- 16:25deeds [music] and glorify your father in
- 16:27heaven. The Bible also called the church
- 16:30the pillar and the ground of truth. The
- 16:33pillar and the ground of truth. So when
- 16:35the church fails to play her role as
- 16:39light and salt and there are many
- 16:41reasons for that it leads to broken
- 16:43walls at a territorial level. Number
- 16:46three we said lack of visionary and
- 16:49transformative leadership. Any nation
- 16:52and any territory that lacks visionary
- 16:55and transformative leadership will
- 16:58eventually have their walls broken down
- 17:01will have chaos and anarchy as the order
- 17:04of the day. And then number four, we
- 17:06said lack of systems, policies and
- 17:09institutions that protect and preserve
- 17:12visions, preserve projects and preserve
- 17:16programs. Like Dr. David Agui was
- 17:19sharing so powerfully here. Everything
- 17:21God creates, he puts a system around it
- 17:24for its continuity and its
- 17:26sustainability. When you create things,
- 17:29programs, projects, visions and there
- 17:32are no systems. There are no laws or
- 17:35policies. There is no modus operandi
- 17:38that maintains and preserves the
- 17:40continuity of that vision. Eventually,
- 17:43it will die. Who has learned something?
- 17:46Praise the name of the Lord. Now we said
- 17:48also that rebuilding happens at four
- 17:51levels.
- 17:53That when God desires to bring any
- 17:56business of rebuilding within a
- 17:58territory, it happens at four levels.
- 18:00Number one, we said the rebuilding of
- 18:03the individual. And because it is a
- 18:05restorative program, God restores fire.
- 18:08He restores hunger. He restores
- 18:11consecration. The individual is brought
- 18:14by the spirit and the mercy of God to
- 18:16begin to walk in keeping with what I
- 18:18call the ordinances of intimacy, prayer,
- 18:21the word, fellowship with the spirit,
- 18:24growth, and so on and so forth. Number
- 18:26two, the second level of rebuilding
- 18:28happens with the priesthood within a
- 18:31territory. So when God deals with
- 18:33individuals, his next cause of Paul or
- 18:36or the next port of call is to rebuild
- 18:38the priests. And I told you priesthood
- 18:40within a territory is a dual combination
- 18:44of the spiritual voices and the
- 18:47prophetic intercessors. So the spiritual
- 18:50voices within a territory and the
- 18:52prophetic intercessors within that
- 18:54territory make up the priesthood within
- 18:57that territory. They are responsible for
- 19:00setting the spiritual climate and then
- 19:03building the body of believers within
- 19:05that territory to attain onto a state of
- 19:07maturity and stature. When Satan wants
- 19:11to fight the program of God in a
- 19:12territory, he starts by fighting
- 19:14priesthood and there are two ways he
- 19:17does that. He fights the consecration of
- 19:20the priest or he corrupts the purity of
- 19:22the message. Usually he does both. So
- 19:25when God is restoring a territory, he
- 19:28restores priesthood. Number three, we
- 19:30says he rebuilds the church
- 19:33and he uses the priests, the teaching
- 19:36priests, the spiritual voices and he
- 19:39rebuilds the church. And one way he
- 19:41rebuilds the church is to bring them
- 19:43into the full council of God. Again, I
- 19:47would make reference to the message of
- 19:49Dr. David Agui. It was a profound
- 19:52balance. I think for far too long the
- 19:55church has not fully understood the
- 19:58entire scope of human development. Uh
- 20:01you see the gospel or the faith practice
- 20:05is a transformational practice. Meaning
- 20:08it should not leave you where you are.
- 20:10And when you come into the kingdom you
- 20:12are exposed to three ministries. The
- 20:14ministry of the Holy Spirit, the
- 20:16ministry of the word and prayer and then
- 20:19the ministry of the teaching priest.
- 20:21These are the ministries that begin to
- 20:23journey you through the process of
- 20:25salvation to transformation to
- 20:28empowerment until you are released as
- 20:30witnesses. The assignment of the
- 20:33five-fold is not to maintain membership
- 20:35but to grow believers from infants until
- 20:39they become visionaries, ambassadors,
- 20:42witnesses, agents of change, architects
- 20:46of hope. Who is learning? And then the
- 20:48fourth and final level or layer of
- 20:51rebuilding will now be the territory
- 20:54itself.
- 20:55So he builds institutions and nations. I
- 20:58did tell you that the way God builds
- 21:01nations is to build the builders.
- 21:04Yesterday we looked at what happens with
- 21:06architecture. You first build the brick
- 21:09or the block. Then when it is built you
- 21:11now use the block or the brick to build
- 21:14the building. The Bible says we all as
- 21:17living stones. It says we are built into
- 21:20a spiritual house. So God builds the men
- 21:23who will build the nation. God reforms
- 21:25the men who will reform the nation. God
- 21:28transforms the men who will transform
- 21:30the nation. Hallelujah. Praise the name
- 21:33of the Lord. We ended yesterday by
- 21:36making a very profound statement that
- 21:38I'd like to recap very quickly. I said
- 21:41the task of rebuilding at any level is a
- 21:45collective task.
- 21:47This will require a sense of unity, a
- 21:50sense of synergy and a sense of personal
- 21:54responsibility.
- 21:56We did agree yesterday that we must
- 21:59deliver ourselves from the mentality of
- 22:02insignificance.
- 22:04There is a place for you in God's
- 22:06prophetic program. I told us yesterday
- 22:09that the real value of a person to God's
- 22:13program is not in his being saved. It's
- 22:16in his being transformed until he
- 22:18becomes a witness. The real value you
- 22:20bring to the kingdom is not your
- 22:22salvation. Your salvation is for your
- 22:25own profit. But when you become an
- 22:27ambassador, you now become an advantage
- 22:30to the program of God. Praise the name
- 22:33of the Lord. Hallelujah. Everyone say I
- 22:36have a role. Come on, shout it Kenya.
- 22:39Say I have a role to play in God's
- 22:43program.
- 22:44Say I receive grace to play my path. Say
- 22:48I am a witness. Say I am light. Say I am
- 22:53salt. Say I am an ambassador. Say I am
- 22:56an architect of hope. Pray in the spirit
- 22:59for one minute and then we'll go very
- 23:01quickly to look at the second part. Can
- 23:04you pray in the spirit?
- 23:09Pray in the spirit.
- 23:14Oh come, let us adore him.
- 23:18Oh come, let us [music] adore him. Oh
- 23:24come, let us adore [music and singing]
- 23:28him.
- 23:30Christ
- 23:32the Lord.
- 23:34For he alone [music]
- 23:36is worthy.
- 23:38For you alone [music] are worthy.
- 23:43For you alone are [music] worthy.
- 23:53Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen.
- 23:58Architects of hope part two. This will
- 24:01be our final part. And for a subtopic,
- 24:03we'll be looking at nation building and
- 24:06territorial transformation. Nation
- 24:09building and territorial transformation.
- 24:13I want to show you a few keys by the
- 24:15spirit of God and we'll walk very
- 24:16quickly with our time. [music] Ezekiel
- 24:18chapter 36. Please give us verse 33 and
- 24:22we'll end at 36. Ezekiel chapter 36. I
- 24:27prefer the NIV rendition for this
- 24:29portion of scripture. Ezekiel chapter
- 24:3236, we'll read verse 33 and then we'll
- 24:35go to 36.
- 24:38Ezekiel 36:33.
- 24:41It says, "This is what the sovereign
- 24:43Lord says on the day that I cleanse you
- 24:46from all your sins." It says, "I will
- 24:49resettle your town." Say, "Amen.
- 24:52And the ruins will be rebuilt." Next
- 24:55verse it says the desolate land will be
- 24:58cultivated instead of lying desolate in
- 25:01the sight of all who pass through it.
- 25:03Verse 35 it says they will say this land
- 25:07that was laid waste has become like the
- 25:10garden of Eden and the cities that were
- 25:14lying in ruins desolate and destroyed
- 25:17are now fortified and inhabited. The
- 25:20final read it says, "Then the nations
- 25:23around you that remain will know that I
- 25:26the Lord have rebuked what was destroyed
- 25:30and I have replanted what was desolate.
- 25:33I the Lord have spoken and I will do it
- 25:36together as a church." Let's shout amen.
- 25:40>> Second scripture very quickly is
- 25:42Jeremiah chapter 30. We'll read from
- 25:44verse 18 and we'll end at 22. Jeremiah
- 25:48chapter 30. still leave the NIV
- 25:50rendition. Afterwards, we go to KJV 18-
- 25:532:22.
- 25:56It says, "And the palace," Jeremiah
- 25:5830:8. Okay, thank you. It says, "This is
- 26:01what the Lord says, I will restore the
- 26:04fortunes of Jacob's tent and have
- 26:07compassion on his dwellings." It says,
- 26:09"The city will be rebuilt on her ruins,
- 26:13and the palace will stand in its proper
- 26:16place." Verse 19,
- 26:19it says, "From then will come songs of
- 26:22thanksgiving and sounds of rejoicing. I
- 26:26will add to her numbers and they will
- 26:29not be decreased."
- 26:32Come on, read the remaining part as a
- 26:35prophetic word. I will bring them honor.
- 26:38It says, "And they will not,"
- 26:42verse 20, "there their children shall be
- 26:46as the days of old, and their community
- 26:49will be established before me. I will
- 26:51punish all who oppress them." 21 It
- 26:55says, "Their leader
- 26:57will be one of their own."
- 27:03Uh-huh.
- 27:0922 the last verse
- 27:14it says so you will be my people and I
- 27:18will be your God say amen over Kenya
- 27:22receive that as a prophetic word in the
- 27:25name of Jesus Christ. All right very
- 27:27quickly I have two assignments under
- 27:30this topic nation building and
- 27:32territorial transformation. My first
- 27:35assignment tonight is to show you the
- 27:37credentials of a rebuilder.
- 27:42Everybody can be used by God. Everybody
- 27:46should be used by God. But
- 27:48unfortunately, not everyone will be used
- 27:50by God. When you come into the faith
- 27:53life, it's important that you know that
- 27:56being available is wonderful, but not
- 27:59enough. There are non-negotiable
- 28:01conditions that must be met by anyone
- 28:05seeking to be a reformer, seeking to be
- 28:08a transformer, seeking to be an
- 28:10architect of hope, a sponsor of
- 28:13reformation, rebuilding [music] and
- 28:15development. And let me run that key
- 28:17with you, the the keys very quickly.
- 28:19Number one,
- 28:21to truly be an agent of territorial
- 28:23transformation, a rebuilder, there are a
- 28:26number of keys. Number one is
- 28:28unconditional passion for God and total
- 28:33dependence on God. It's impossible for
- 28:37you to truly be a rebuilder if and when
- 28:41your passion for God is not there or
- 28:44it's conditional.
- 28:46The first credential of a rebuilder is
- 28:50that he or she must be a person of
- 28:53unconditional passion for God and total
- 28:57dependence on God.
- 29:00Like Neahhemiah and like we observed
- 29:03yesterday, God is looking for men who
- 29:06will love the king more than they love
- 29:08the rebuilding of the wall. As important
- 29:11as it is to rebuild the wall. I told you
- 29:13yesterday Neahhemiah did not start as A
- 29:16REBUILDER, HE STARTED AS THE CUPBEARER
- 29:19OF the king. And when the king released
- 29:22him to go and rebuild the wall, he did
- 29:24not dismiss him from his presence.
- 29:29Those who are cupbearers eventually
- 29:32become rebuilders. It starts with your
- 29:35LOVE AND YOUR PASSION FOR GOD, NOT JUST
- 29:37A DESIRE to rebuild walls. MOST OF THOSE
- 29:40WHO CHAMPION THE GOSPEL today across the
- 29:44landscape of Africa, you ask them for
- 29:46most of them even though they knew that
- 29:48they HAD THE CALL OF GOD, THEIR FOCUS
- 29:51was loving him and living for him. It
- 29:54was a better deal for THEM TO BE SERVING
- 29:57IN the presence of the king. And it was
- 30:00ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR faithfulness before
- 30:02the king that they were empowered to be
- 30:05rebuilders of destinies and nations. You
- 30:08must love the king more than you love
- 30:10the walls. BECAUSE AS POWERFUL AS THE
- 30:13PROJECT OF rebuilding is, the walls can
- 30:16become an idol. So all those who will be
- 30:20used by God in this end time, hear me
- 30:23Kenya, hear me Africa, God is looking
- 30:26for a breed and a brand of believers who
- 30:29love him more than ministry, love him
- 30:31more than titles, love him more than
- 30:34assignments, love him more than vision.
- 30:36DID YOU KNOW MINISTRY CAN BECOME AN
- 30:38IDOL? It can replace YOU. GOD CAN SEND
- 30:41YOU and then you dismiss yourself from
- 30:44his presence. Nehemiah when he releases
- 30:47you to build the wall, remember he did
- 30:49NOT DISMISS YOUR ASSIGNMENT OF
- 30:51COPIERING.
- 30:55HALLELUJAH.
- 30:57Unconditional
- 30:59passion for God and total dependence. It
- 31:03says, "Trust in the Lord with all your
- 31:05heart and lean not unto your own
- 31:07understanding." Proverbs 3:5-7. It says,
- 31:09"In all your ways acknowledge him, and
- 31:12he shall direct your path." Verse seven
- 31:14says, "BE NOT WISE in your own
- 31:16understanding." It says, "Fear the Lord
- 31:18and depart from evil." Fear the Lord and
- 31:21depart from evil. Let me give you key
- 31:23number two. The second credential.
- 31:26In fact, let me say this.
- 31:29Those who love God and his agenda beyond
- 31:33personal ambition, still on point one.
- 31:36Those who love the Lord beyond the
- 31:39things that he gives. I'm talking OF
- 31:41UNCONDITIONAL PASSION. THOSE WHO LOVE
- 31:44GOD REGARDLESS THE OUTCOMES OF THEIR
- 31:47LIVES. That my love for God is not tied
- 31:49to things working or tied to things not
- 31:52working. I love him in spite of AND I
- 31:55LOVE HIM DESPITE. LISTEN, ONE OF THE
- 31:57elements of disciplehip is that
- 32:00believers must be taught to have
- 32:02unconditional LOVE FOR GOD. WHILE WE ARE
- 32:05CALLED into a life of victory and
- 32:08triumph, IT IS A DANGEROUS ORIENTATION
- 32:11TO CONNECT your trust and your love for
- 32:13God to results. You must love him BEYOND
- 32:16RESULTS. JOB SAID, "THOUGH HE SLAY ME,
- 32:19yet I will trust him." That God is good
- 32:23all the time. my condition, my current
- 32:25situation notwithstanding. Someone lift
- 32:28your hands and say, "Lord, you are
- 32:29good."
- 32:31Hallelujah.
- 32:32Number two, the second credential of a
- 32:36true rebuilder of an architect of hope
- 32:39is that you must have highlevel
- 32:42spiritual illumination and intelligence
- 32:46alongside the empowerment required. High
- 32:50level spiritual illumination, highlevel
- 32:55intelligence.
- 33:00With all due respect, let me speak to
- 33:02those who serve in ministry. We have a
- 33:05noble responsibility. We have been given
- 33:07the trust of the spirits, the minds, and
- 33:10the destinies of the people we lead. And
- 33:12we must be very careful to ensure that
- 33:16we help them to be grounded and to
- 33:18attain a state of maturity and stature
- 33:21in experience.
- 33:23I was so touched by the question that
- 33:26Dr. David Agui again asked and said if
- 33:29Jesus were your member would he be able
- 33:31to fulfill his assignment? That's a very
- 33:33interesting question. I don't KNOW HOW
- 33:36MANY PASTORS would have been able to
- 33:37raise Jesus or raise Joseph or raise
- 33:40Daniel.
- 33:41Hallelujah.
- 33:43More than maintaining membership, WE
- 33:45MUST BE VERY INTENTIONAL in building
- 33:48believers. And like you may have heard
- 33:50me teach, building believers is a very
- 33:53intentional project. The ministry of the
- 33:56word. The Bible says in Jeremiah 3
- 33:59and:15 that I would give you pastors,
- 34:01shepherds according to my heart and they
- 34:03will feed you with wisdom. They will
- 34:06feed you with understanding. There is a
- 34:09great responsibility upon us to raise a
- 34:12generation of consecrated, enlightened,
- 34:16responsible, vibrant, empowered
- 34:19believers.
- 34:21So the journey is from salvation to
- 34:24transformation to empowerment to
- 34:27purpose. Say that after me. Salvation,
- 34:30say transformation, say empowerment, say
- 34:34purpose. FOR ONE LAST TIME, SAY
- 34:36SALVATION, say transformation, say
- 34:38empowerment and then purpose.
- 34:42And a major part of that journey is
- 34:44transformation. The name given to the
- 34:46process that makes you become like
- 34:48Christ in experience. Listen, I made a
- 34:51statement during one of our conferences
- 34:53recently. I said, "It takes a union of
- 34:56the life of Christ plus the mind of
- 35:00Christ to produce a matured and
- 35:02victorious believer." If you only have
- 35:05the life of Christ AND YOU REJECT THE
- 35:07MIND OF CHRIST, IT WILL BE LIKE BUYING A
- 35:10BRAND NEW GADGET THAT IS NOT POWERED TO
- 35:12FUNCTION. Unbelievers have pieced
- 35:15together bodies of truth that are
- 35:18likened to the MIND OF CHRIST, BUT they
- 35:20hate God. They they reject his life. But
- 35:23with THE MIND OF CHRIST, THEY HAVE BUILT
- 35:26EMPIRES AND CONGLOMERATES. Believers
- 35:28have received the life of Christ. BUT
- 35:31THE VALUE OF THAT LIFE IS NOT SEEN, is
- 35:34not known. The profit of the life of God
- 35:36is not revealed because it is the mind
- 35:38of Christ that gives room for the riches
- 35:42and the blessings embedded IN THE LIFE
- 35:44OF Christ to be revealed. You need the
- 35:47LIFE OF CHRIST PLUS THE MIND OF CHRIST.
- 35:50The life of CHRIST COMES TO YOU AT
- 35:52SALVATION. BUT THE MIND OF CHRIST IS
- 35:54RECEIVED THROUGH THE METHODICAL process
- 35:57of transformation.
- 36:00Hallelujah. Transformation. And in
- 36:04transforming men, there are four
- 36:06elements of the ministry of the word. If
- 36:10the believer is not mentored across
- 36:11these four areas, your growth will be
- 36:14lopsided. Number one, doctrine. Doctrine
- 36:17talks about the foundational beliefs of
- 36:19the Christian faith. You must be
- 36:21anchored on doctrine. Number two, the
- 36:23principles of the kingdom. Believers
- 36:25must be exposed to the modus operandi of
- 36:28the kingdom. THE KINGDOM IS A CULTURE.
- 36:31THERE IS A WAY WE DO THE things that we
- 36:33do. They are called the mysteries of the
- 36:34kingdom. Number three, wisdom for
- 36:37living. This empowers the believer to be
- 36:40able to relate with your world because
- 36:42your world is a mixed multitude. Has
- 36:45those of the faith and then those all
- 36:47scattered across the cosmos. And the
- 36:49Bible teaches us for instance to learn
- 36:51to live as sheep among wolves. Wisdom
- 36:54for living else you will have
- 36:56consecrated vibrant believers who do not
- 36:59have the intelligence to operate within
- 37:01the cosmos. And then number FOUR THE
- 37:04FOURTH ASPECT that must be captured in
- 37:06the teaching ministry is a word
- 37:08compliant worldview. There is a way
- 37:11believer a believer looks at life. There
- 37:13is a way a believer looks at politics.
- 37:15There is a way a believer looks at
- 37:17governance, economy. WE HAVE A LENS. WE
- 37:20HAVE A VISTA through which we look at
- 37:22the world. And believers must be trained
- 37:25to look at the world from the word. You
- 37:28are following say amen.
- 37:30>> Praise the name of the Lord. HIGHLEVEL
- 37:33SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION. That's why I
- 37:35thank GOD FOR THIS KIND OF apostolic
- 37:38platform that can SPEAK TO THE MINDS OF
- 37:41PEOPLE. It takes a grace of God to raise
- 37:45this kind of platform. And this is why
- 37:47we honor the faces
- 37:50behind this great work. Of course,
- 37:53ultimately represented by Reverend
- 37:55Julian himself. It takes a lot to drive
- 37:58the program of God at this level, AT
- 38:01THIS NATIONAL and regional level. Can we
- 38:04give him a big hand clap again?
- 38:09My charge with all due respect first to
- 38:12the men and the women of God and then to
- 38:15every believer here represented.
- 38:18Hear me ladies and gentlemen. Dominion
- 38:21is maturity dependent. The price for
- 38:24dominion is transformation.
- 38:27You cannot walk in the experience of
- 38:28dominion in ignorance. The Bible says
- 38:31the people that sat in darkness have
- 38:34seen a great light. Isaiah chapter 60
- 38:36and verse one says, "Arise, shine, for
- 38:39your light is come." Amplified says,
- 38:41"Arise from the depression and the
- 38:43FRUSTRATION THAT CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE KEPT
- 38:45YOU." IT SAYS, "RISE to a new light."
- 38:48Rise to a new light. Go for knowledge.
- 38:51Exact knowledge. Knowledge that brings
- 38:54value. Are we together? John 15, the
- 38:57Bible says, "The light shineth in the
- 38:59darkness, and the darkness comprehended
- 39:01not." I pray for you in the name of
- 39:03Jesus. Let me pray the prayer of Paul
- 39:05over you. He prayed over the church in
- 39:07Ephesus in Ephesians chapter 1 from
- 39:10verse 15 to 21. I decree and declare may
- 39:13the eyes of your understanding be
- 39:15enlightened
- 39:16that you will understand the hope of his
- 39:18calling in the name of Jesus Christ
- 39:22and that you will know the exceeding
- 39:24greatness of his power towards you who
- 39:26believe. I pray for you. You will no
- 39:29longer walk in ignorance. THE WORD OF
- 39:31CHRIST will dwell in you richly in all
- 39:33wisdom in the name of Jesus Christ. It
- 39:36says and that from a child thou has
- 39:38known the holy scripture which is able
- 39:40to make you wise unto salvation. Acts
- 39:4320:32 it says and now brethren I commend
- 39:46you to God and to the word of his grace
- 39:48which is able to build you up and to
- 39:51GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among them that
- 39:52are sanctified. Ephesians 4:18 says
- 39:55having their understanding darkened. it
- 39:57has been alienated through the life from
- 40:00the life of God through the ignorance
- 40:02that is in them. I pray for you the
- 40:05appetite for knowledge, the appetite for
- 40:08revelation. May the grace that brings
- 40:10that appetite rest upon you in the name
- 40:13of Jesus Christ. Please be seated
- 40:16very quickly. CREDENTIAL NUMBER THREE.
- 40:19What does it take to be trusted with the
- 40:21assignment of rebuilding and
- 40:24reformation? Are you ready? You must
- 40:27have a clear vision of God's endtime
- 40:30agenda alongside the mission of
- 40:33restoration. Write that down.
- 40:36The third credential of a true rebuilder
- 40:40of an architect of hope is that you must
- 40:43have a clear vision of God's endtime
- 40:47agenda
- 40:49alongside the mission of restoration.
- 40:52You cannot serve in a program that you
- 40:55are ignorant of. When you are given an
- 40:58employment to serve in a firm, there is
- 41:01a system of orientation that helps you
- 41:04know why they exist and what goals they
- 41:06seek to achieve for which you HAVE BEEN
- 41:09EMPLOYED. FAILURE TO understand why you
- 41:12were employed will leave YOU AN
- 41:14UNPRODUCTIVE STAFF. SO WHEN YOU COME
- 41:16INTO the kingdom uh more so that you
- 41:18want TO COME INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD,
- 41:21it's important THAT YOU UNDERSTAND GOD'S
- 41:24PROPHETIC PROGRAM.
- 41:27I don't have all the time but perhaps
- 41:30let me take one minute and help TO DO A
- 41:32SUMMARY for you. WE CALL IT MANY THINGS.
- 41:35We call it thy kingdom come project. We
- 41:37call it the great commission the common
- 41:39name we have in the body of Christ. But
- 41:41you see, for a very long time,
- 41:44believers, WELL-INTENTIONED BELIEVERS,
- 41:47THAT includes preachers, we've not done
- 41:50JUSTICE TO A THOROUGH UH explanation as
- 41:54far as God's program is concerned. WE
- 41:56HAVE BITS AND PIECES OF GOD'S PROGRAM
- 41:58and we've not been able to sell an idea
- 42:01to believers that is wholesome. So very
- 42:04quickly let me just by way of summary so
- 42:08that we don't dwell here for too long I
- 42:10need to talk about nations.
- 42:13God's program is divided into three.
- 42:16Please listen everyone. God has a
- 42:19program for the unbelieving world is
- 42:23called world evangelization or world
- 42:25missions. That's the name of God's
- 42:27program for the unbelieving world. God
- 42:30has a program for the church. God's
- 42:33program for the church is called
- 42:36maturity and stature through
- 42:38disciplehip. That is God's program for
- 42:41the church.
- 42:43that believers who are now in Christ,
- 42:47they are methodically built until they
- 42:49attain a state of maturity and stature,
- 42:53deepening their consecration and
- 42:55fellowship WITH GOD, BEING EXPOSED to
- 42:58the resources that makes for a
- 43:00victorious life, AND THEN BEING
- 43:02CONNECTED TO PURPOSE SO THAT they know
- 43:04how to walk in partnership with God,
- 43:06God's program for the church. And then
- 43:08God has program for a program for
- 43:11territories and nations and society. We
- 43:14call that territorial transformation. I
- 43:17told YOU THAT THE CHRISTIAN FAITH is a
- 43:19transformative practice. Meaning it
- 43:22seeks to change whatever and whoever it
- 43:25meets. That's how the faith life was
- 43:27designed. It never leaves a person or a
- 43:31territory the way it meets it.
- 43:33Hallelujah. And in ORDER OF PRIORITY,
- 43:37CHANGE STARTS FROM THE MORAL fabric of
- 43:40society. That's how FAITH PENETRATES AND
- 43:43BRINGS value to state. It influences the
- 43:47moral fabric of society by introducing
- 43:50the value system of the kingdom. There
- 43:53is the message THAT SAVES BUT THERE IS
- 43:55THE VALUE SYSTEM that transform. THEY
- 43:58ARE ALL CALLED THE GOSPEL. So we should
- 44:00not just focus on teaching the message
- 44:03that saves. that affects THE INDIVIDUAL
- 44:06BUT YOU CAN BE SAVED AS A PERSON AND YET
- 44:09YOUR TERRITORY can remain depraved. It
- 44:11will still affect you. Lot was a
- 44:13RIGHTEOUS MAN BUT SODOM AND GOMORRAH
- 44:16WHERE HE FOUND HIMSELF WAS NOT A GOOD
- 44:18PLACE. He almost lost his daughters. He
- 44:21eventually LOST HIS WIFE. SO IT'S NOT
- 44:23ENOUGH TO BE SAVED AS A PERSON. YOUR
- 44:26TERRITORY MUST ADOPT THE VALUE SYSTEM OF
- 44:29the kingdom.
- 44:32Are we learning? Praise the name of the
- 44:34Lord.
- 44:36So it is evangelism, watch this, plus
- 44:41disciplehip
- 44:42plus territorial transformation. That is
- 44:46what is captured in God's prophetic
- 44:48program. Now with all due respect, many
- 44:51have taught evangelism alone. OTHERS
- 44:54HAVE FOCUSED ON DISCIPLEHIP alone
- 44:57without transiting the people.
- 44:59Disciplehip will leave you transformed,
- 45:02but purpose will turn you from a
- 45:05transformed believer into a witness.
- 45:08THAT'S THE ASSIGNMENT. NOT JUST THAT YOU
- 45:10STAY TRANSFORMED, BUT THAT YOUR
- 45:12TRANSFORMATION IS CONNECTED to
- 45:14empowerment and purpose. And God NOW
- 45:17DEFINES THE GEOGRAPHY OF witness for
- 45:19you. Whether it is media, business,
- 45:22politics, governance. Is someone
- 45:24learning now? God is raising a PEOPLE
- 45:27WHO ARE THOROUGHLY FURNISHED, WHO
- 45:30UNDERSTAND his program. So when you pray
- 45:32and say, "Your kingdom come," you're not
- 45:34just reciting something YOU FOUND IN THE
- 45:36BIBLE. You are saying your rule, your
- 45:38government, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR VALUE
- 45:40SYSTEM. Let it first affect the hearts
- 45:43of men and then every strata of HUMAN
- 45:46ACTIVITY. SOMEONE SHOUT, "THY KINGDOM
- 45:48COME."
- 45:50ONE MORE TIME, SHOUT, "THY KINGDOM
- 45:52COME." Number
- 45:54four, very quickly, the fourth
- 45:57credential of a true rebuilder is that
- 46:00you must understand the Godman
- 46:03partnership.
- 46:06Say that after me. SAY THE GODMAN
- 46:08PARTNERSHIP.
- 46:09One more time. Say the Godman
- 46:11partnership.
- 46:14Do you know what this means? The Bible
- 46:16says we are co- lababorers with God. And
- 46:20this right here is the responsibility
- 46:23component of the Christian faith. For
- 46:26any program, I told you yesterday that
- 46:28God's program can fail in the life of an
- 46:31individual. GOD'S PROGRAM OVER A NATION
- 46:34CAN FAIL. GOD'S PROGRAM OVER A FAMILY
- 46:37can fail. His program remains a
- 46:40prophetic reality until HE FINDS
- 46:42RESPONSIBLE MEN WHO CAN COME INTO DIVINE
- 46:46PARTNERSHIP. Say that word. say divine
- 46:48partnership.
- 46:50It is God and you that will birth his
- 46:53program in Kenya. IT IS GOD and you that
- 46:56will birth his program in your family.
- 46:58IT IS GOD and you every time you FIND A
- 47:02TERRITORY VOID OF THE INFLUENCE of the
- 47:05kingdom. IT IS THAT THE MEN WHO SHOULD
- 47:08COME INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD HAVE
- 47:10failed to understand their role and
- 47:12their responsibility. So when you say
- 47:15here am I send ME IS A STATEMENT OF
- 47:18RESPONSIBILITY THAT I UNDERSTAND YOU
- 47:20HAVE A PROGRAM and I have been so
- 47:22oriented that it is in partnership WITH
- 47:25YOU THAT THAT program is born. How many
- 47:29of you know that transforming Kenya is
- 47:32God's agenda? But God found a man
- 47:35Reverend Julian who worked in
- 47:37partnership with the spirit to create a
- 47:39platform called Remma Fest. LISTEN, THE
- 47:43TRANSFORMATION YOU ARE RECEIVING TODAY
- 47:45and that you have received this week, IT
- 47:47IS NOT TODAY THAT GOD pre-ordained it.
- 47:50THE DAY DIVINE PARTNERS WITH GOD COME
- 47:54INTO ALIGNMENT, THAT IS THE DAY THE
- 47:57program of God finds expression. You
- 47:59have HEARD ME SAY REVIVAL HAVE NO DATE.
- 48:02THE DAY THE REVIVAL AGENTS ARE READY,
- 48:05THAT IS THE DAY REVIVAL COMES.
- 48:08Revival can be prolonged. transformation
- 48:12can be prolonged, productivity,
- 48:14development can be prolonged. Believers,
- 48:17please hear me. YOU'RE NOT ONLY MEMBERS
- 48:19OF A CHURCH. With all due respect,
- 48:21you're not only citizens of Kenya.
- 48:24You're not only um you know, members of
- 48:27your VARIOUS FAMILIES. IT'S IMPORTANT
- 48:29for you to understand that you are co-
- 48:32lababorers. God desires to use you and I
- 48:35TO COME INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH HIM SO
- 48:37THAT WE can birth his kingdom come
- 48:39program. And if you are ready, shout
- 48:41amen.
- 48:42>> Let me give you number five very
- 48:44quickly. Are you learning something?
- 48:46Number five,
- 48:49the credential of a reformer. They carry
- 48:53a king priest mentality. You cannot
- 48:56become a true rebuilder if you do not
- 48:59subscribe to the Mechisedc order of
- 49:02dominion. Believers are not given the
- 49:05liberty to choose their strategy. The
- 49:07dominion strategy that will help birth
- 49:10the program of God as well as produce a
- 49:12victorious breed of believers has
- 49:14already been described in the Bible. The
- 49:16Bible talking about Melkisedc. It said
- 49:19Melkisedc, king of Salem, priest of the
- 49:23most high. All believers in Christ must
- 49:27operate in THAT ORDER. PRIEST UNTO GOD
- 49:31AND KING OF SALEM. PRIESTHOOD talks
- 49:34about your devotion unto God, but the
- 49:37kingly dimension talks of dominion and
- 49:39relevance within your sphere of
- 49:41influence. All believers are priests,
- 49:44but all believers ARE KINGS. SOME HAVE
- 49:47chosen to remain priests and ignore
- 49:49their kingly responsibility. Others
- 49:52chose to focus on being kings without
- 49:54understanding the ordinances of
- 49:56priesthood. It is YOUR PRIESTHOOD THAT
- 49:58POWERS YOU IN THE PALACE and in the
- 50:01marketplace. Are we together? When it
- 50:04has to do with priesthood, you are a
- 50:05priest unto God, and then you are a king
- 50:09of Salem, a king in the media space, a
- 50:13king in business, priest unto God, and
- 50:17kings within their spheres of influence.
- 50:20Hallelujah. Number six, and this will be
- 50:23the final credential of a true rebuilder
- 50:27and a reformer. THEY UNDERSTAND THE
- 50:29POWER OF UNITY. And listen to this
- 50:32please. All rebuilders,
- 50:35all reformers, all architects of hope,
- 50:39like we have architects in our building,
- 50:42THEY UNDERSTAND THAT NO SINGLE MAN, no
- 50:45matter how yielded, CAN SUCCESSFULLY
- 50:48BIRTH THE PROGRAM of God. One man cannot
- 50:51be called the church. You can only be
- 50:53called a member of the body. It takes
- 50:56synergy.
- 50:58It takes cooperation. It takes unity to
- 51:02advance the kingdom of God and to build
- 51:05any society.
- 51:08Reformers understand that they have a
- 51:11role to play but their role does not
- 51:14cover everything that should be done. So
- 51:16they play their role effectively while
- 51:19stretching their hands to receive the
- 51:21contribution of other reformers. And
- 51:24this is what has happened before you in
- 51:26Rama Fest. a contribution from different
- 51:29vessels in worship in word coming with
- 51:32DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS AS TOUCHING THEIR
- 51:35DEALINGS with God so that everyone will
- 51:38be built holistically.
- 51:41Perhaps you may have heard me say if
- 51:44everybody if every believer listens to
- 51:47JOSHUA SELMAN ALONE THERE IS A DIMENSION
- 51:50OF GROWTH YOU WILL NOT HAVE in your walk
- 51:52with God no matter how yielded I am. You
- 51:56see vision also creates limitation
- 51:59because I'm looking at you right now but
- 52:01I cannot see what is BEHIND ME. SO THERE
- 52:03ARE CONSEQUENCES to being visionary.
- 52:06That is the reason why God raises orders
- 52:08TO COVER THE GAPS WHERE YOUR EYES CANNOT
- 52:11SEE. The church in Kenya must sustain
- 52:15the humility and the maturity to embrace
- 52:20the ministry of the body not just the
- 52:22ministry of individuals. And let me say
- 52:25this, beloved, do not go around singing
- 52:28songs THAT SAUL KILLED 1,000 and David
- 52:32killed 10,000. YOU WILL CAUSE A LOT OF
- 52:35problems for men of God. Learn to honor
- 52:37everyone. The one who is able to do
- 52:40remma first and the one who disciples 10
- 52:42men. They are ALL CONTRIBUTORS AS FAR AS
- 52:45THAT PROGRAM IS CONCERNED.
- 52:48HALLELUJAH. Now listen, please do not
- 52:51get me wrong. When I talk about unity, I
- 52:55don't mean embracing everything and
- 52:57everyone. There are verifications.
- 53:01Are we together? WE MAY DIFFER IN
- 53:03SEVERAL THINGS AND ACROSS VARIOUS
- 53:05PERSPECTIVES SPIRITUALLY, BUT THERE ARE
- 53:08CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE MOST SURELY
- 53:10believed among us. AND IF YOU DO NOT
- 53:12BELIEVE THAT, you are simply not a
- 53:14Christian.
- 53:16But I advocate unity. And tonight as we
- 53:19delve into the concept of nation
- 53:20building, my prayer for the church in
- 53:22Kenya is that in the name of Jesus, we
- 53:25will attain a state of maturity where we
- 53:28respect the dealings of God in the lives
- 53:31of one another. Are we together? The
- 53:33truth is that graces differ, experiences
- 53:36with God differ, consecrations, our
- 53:39levels of investedness in spiritual
- 53:41things differ. And so OUR RESULTS
- 53:43DIFFER. HOWEVER, WE MUST HAVE THE
- 53:46MATURITY TO RESPECT THE SACRIFICES OF
- 53:49EVERYONE FROM THE PASTOR, THE MISSIONARY
- 53:52SOMEWHERE IN THE BACKSIDE OF KENYA WHO
- 53:54MAY NOT BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHO IS NOT A
- 53:56celebrity to THE INTERCESSOR LIKE ANNA
- 53:59THE PROPHETESS, WHO NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT,
- 54:02to those who are vocal and visible. ALL
- 54:05OF US TOGETHER MAKE THAT REFORMATION
- 54:07ARMY. ALL OF US TOGETHER MAKE THAT
- 54:10TRANSFORMATION ARMY. ALL OF US TOGETHER
- 54:13ARE THE REBUILDERS OF THE BRIDGE, the
- 54:15repairers of the bridge and THE
- 54:18REBUILDERS OF DESOLATE PLACES. YOU
- 54:19believe that? Say amen.
- 54:21>> Amen.
- 54:24>> Now, very quickly,
- 54:27I want to show you
- 54:30something the Lord taught me on nation
- 54:32building. I'm not only a student of
- 54:35revival and awakenings.
- 54:38I am also a student of territorial
- 54:40transformation. I like to know why
- 54:43territories remain the way they are and
- 54:45I like to know how territories can
- 54:48improve because I'm one person as a
- 54:51preacher who believes in translating the
- 54:54reality of the faith life to a context
- 54:57that appeals to the needs of society. I
- 55:00AM PASSIONATE ABOUT GOD BUT I HATE
- 55:02FANATISM. I was telling the business
- 55:04community this morning while speaking to
- 55:07them, we must advocate the rise of
- 55:10passionate believers but not fanatics.
- 55:14The difference between fanatism and
- 55:16passion is knowledge, responsibility,
- 55:19and maturity.
- 55:22Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 55:27A few years ago,
- 55:30I was in Boston, Massachusetts, and I
- 55:33went to visit what we call the monuments
- 55:35of the forefathers.
- 55:37And um
- 55:39it was a goal to study what built some
- 55:43of these nations that we so admire like
- 55:46the US and other great nations. I'm a
- 55:49student of history. I like to know what
- 55:52happened because the secret of the
- 55:53future is in yesterday. The Bible says
- 55:55the thing that was is the thing that is
- 55:58and is the thing that is to come.
- 55:59There's nothing new under the sun. And I
- 56:02got someone as a tour guide who had a
- 56:05thorough understanding of how America
- 56:07came about to help give me education as
- 56:12to how the precepts AND THE CONCEPTS,
- 56:15THE principles that were kept. And I
- 56:18just want to take a little from it and
- 56:20let this be my gift and my contribution
- 56:23to the rebuilding of a greater brighter
- 56:27Kenya. The rebuilding of A GREATER
- 56:31BRIGHTER EASTERN AFRICA. The rebuilding
- 56:34of a greater brighter Africa. If you
- 56:36receive that, say amen.
- 56:38>> Amen.
- 56:38>> Praise the name of the Lord. Nations can
- 56:41be built. And let me give you six
- 56:44elements. There are six elements that
- 56:47can make any nation great regardless how
- 56:51bad things are. And I'm I'm speaking
- 56:53apostolically cuz I know there are
- 56:56people connected from across the various
- 56:58African regions. I'm telling you Africa
- 57:00is our season. This is why God is
- 57:03raising these KINDS OF PLATFORMS NOT
- 57:05JUST IN KENYA, UGANDA, KENYA, NIGERIA,
- 57:09GHANA, South Africa is an emergence of
- 57:12kingdom luminaries, APOSTOLIC
- 57:15VISIONARIES WHO ARE SPEARHEADING the
- 57:18campaign of maturity, STATURE AND THE
- 57:21ENFORCEMENT OF GOD'S governance at a
- 57:24macro level. These are men and women who
- 57:26God has dealt WITH FOR MANY YEARS AND BY
- 57:29GRACE AND MERCY THEY HAVE MAXIMIZED THE
- 57:31GRACE of God upon their lives. And let
- 57:34me tell you, I believe that from this
- 57:36Rama fest there are others who came from
- 57:39other nations. YOU WILL CATCH THIS FIRE
- 57:42and you will go back and replicate Rama
- 57:44fest in your nations. The Bible says the
- 57:47promise is unto you and to your children
- 57:49and children's children as many as are
- 57:52far off. Say amen.
- 57:55Six elements
- 57:57are responsible for the rebuilding and
- 58:00the transformation of any nation. Number
- 58:03one very quickly is vision. Nations are
- 58:07transformed. Nations are built when
- 58:10there is vision.
- 58:13Vision here is the ability to see things
- 58:15as they ought to be, not as they are.
- 58:19alongside the determination to see that
- 58:23picture manifest. VISION DOES NOT STOP
- 58:26AT SEEING what is possible. IT IS ALSO
- 58:29BACKED BY THE DETERMINATION to press
- 58:32until you see that picture manifest. HE
- 58:35TOLD MOSES, ENSURE you build according
- 58:38to the pattern that was shown you. IT'S
- 58:41NOT ENOUGH TO SEE. YOU MUST have the
- 58:43determination to see that which you have
- 58:46seen in your mind and in the spirit
- 58:48manifest in experience. Vision.
- 58:52Vision is also a picture OF A CLEARLY
- 58:55DEFINED FUTURE. Clear enough to be
- 58:58imprinted in the minds of citizens. Let
- 59:01me tell you this. One of the ways we
- 59:03lead is to create the picture of the
- 59:06future clear enough for everyone we
- 59:10intend to follow to understand.
- 59:12Followership is difficult when there is
- 59:14vagueness in vision. The Bible says
- 59:17write the vision. Then it says make it
- 59:19clear so that he will run that reads it.
- 59:22THE PACE OF FOLLOWERSHIP DEPENDS ON THE
- 59:25CLARITY of vision. This is true for
- 59:28nations but it is true for
- 59:30organizations. If you are a CEO and you
- 59:33are the only ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHERE
- 59:35YOUR COMPANY is going, you will have
- 59:37frustrated people following you who will
- 59:40turn back eventually. Clarity of vision
- 59:43is a secret of followership. In fact IS
- 59:46ONE OF THE ELEMENTS of unity. You're
- 59:48understanding me say amen.
- 59:51>> No nation can become great when there is
- 59:54no vision.
- 59:56No nation.
- 59:58Number two,
- 1:00:00the second element that defines a great
- 1:00:03nation or brings about greatness in a
- 1:00:06nation. Ready? Well defined values and
- 1:00:10policies. Welldefined values and
- 1:00:15policies.
- 1:00:17Values I wrote here define people's
- 1:00:20ideas about life and gives them a
- 1:00:23template for living and conducting
- 1:00:25themselves.
- 1:00:27NO NATION BECOMES GREAT WHEN there are
- 1:00:30no clearly defined POLICIES AND VALUE
- 1:00:34SYSTEMS, A MODUS OPERANDI THAT GOVERNS
- 1:00:38HOW PEOPLE BEHAVE WITHIN that territory.
- 1:00:41For an example, did you know that crime,
- 1:00:44corruption, laziness, injustice,
- 1:00:48entitlement, they are NOT JUST NEGATIVE
- 1:00:51VICES, they are belief systems. THERE IS
- 1:00:54SOMETHING SOMEONE BELIEVES THAT makes
- 1:00:57him an amrober. An amrober IS A
- 1:00:59BELIEVER. HE'S A BELIEVER IN something
- 1:01:03that the dignity of responsibility
- 1:01:06cannot bring him good. Are we together?
- 1:01:10With all due respect, when a gentleman
- 1:01:13lives his life carelessly or a lady
- 1:01:15prostitutes herself around that that ACT
- 1:01:18OF PROSTITUTION OR IRRESPONSIBILITY is a
- 1:01:21mindset in a similar vein. Justice,
- 1:01:26fairness, diligence, competence,
- 1:01:30PRODUCTIVITY,
- 1:01:32MORAL EXCELLENCE, RESPECT. They are NOT
- 1:01:35JUST POSITIVE TRAITS. They are also
- 1:01:38belief systems. And is the
- 1:01:40responsibility of the spiritual
- 1:01:43and political leaders and then all other
- 1:01:46leaders to lock hand in glove AND TO
- 1:01:49DEFINE VERY CLEARLY THE VALUES THAT MUST
- 1:01:53GOVERN a predefined territory and have
- 1:01:56rewards for those who work in KEEPING
- 1:01:59NOT JUST PUNISHMENTS FOR THOSE WHO
- 1:02:01VIOLATE IT. The human spirit works by
- 1:02:04motivation.
- 1:02:05If you do well you should be commended.
- 1:02:08Then if you do wrong and you are
- 1:02:10reproved, you do not find offense.
- 1:02:16Hallelujah.
- 1:02:18Number three.
- 1:02:20Number three.
- 1:02:22The third element very quickly
- 1:02:27that defines greatness within a nation
- 1:02:30and brings about greatness is education.
- 1:02:33Education both formal and informal. Hear
- 1:02:37my definition of education. The ability
- 1:02:40to read, the ability to write, the
- 1:02:44ability to communicate effectively,
- 1:02:48the ability to think constructively,
- 1:02:51and the ability TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE
- 1:02:54ACQUIRED as a tool to bet solutions.
- 1:02:58ANYTHING SHORT OF THIS IS NOT EDUCATION.
- 1:03:01I define it again very quickly.
- 1:03:04Education is the ability to read,
- 1:03:08the ability to write, the ability to
- 1:03:11communicate effectively, the ability to
- 1:03:14think constructively,
- 1:03:16and then the ability TO USE THE
- 1:03:18KNOWLEDGE acquired as a tool to birth
- 1:03:22solutions.
- 1:03:24I wrote here that education and Africa,
- 1:03:27we need to hear this. Education must be
- 1:03:30redefined
- 1:03:32AS THE PROPER USE OF KNOWLEDGE to answer
- 1:03:35questions to meet needs to build
- 1:03:39solutions and to solve problems.
- 1:03:42Education must go beyond just having a
- 1:03:45piece of paper that attests to the
- 1:03:47longevity of your stay within an
- 1:03:49educational institution. It must be
- 1:03:52redefined
- 1:03:53AS THE PROPER USE of knowledge. That
- 1:03:57means YOU ARE NOT JUST EDUCATED because
- 1:03:59you have a certificate to attest to your
- 1:04:01presence in college. You are educated
- 1:04:04when you can use knowledge to answer
- 1:04:08questions. The knowledge to meet needs,
- 1:04:11to birth solutions, and to solve
- 1:04:14problems. Number four,
- 1:04:16the fourth element that makes for a
- 1:04:19great nation. I'm showing you how
- 1:04:21nations are built and how nations become
- 1:04:24great. Number four, visionary and
- 1:04:27transformative leadership.
- 1:04:30Visionary and transformative leadership.
- 1:04:36I define leadership as the ability to
- 1:04:39harness and to coordinate human and
- 1:04:42material resources so as to meet a
- 1:04:45common predefined goal.
- 1:04:49the ability to harness and coordinate
- 1:04:52human and material resources so as to
- 1:04:56meet a common and predefined goal.
- 1:05:01Leadership is a mentality, a mentality
- 1:05:05that makes the most of every resource
- 1:05:08and every opportunity.
- 1:05:10I wrote something here and please
- 1:05:12listen. structures must be put in place
- 1:05:15for leadership development across all
- 1:05:18age RANGES BOTH FORMAL and informal.
- 1:05:23Leadership development is an INVESTMENT
- 1:05:26OF INESTEEMABLE value to the kingdom and
- 1:05:30to society.
- 1:05:32Leadership in family, leadership in the
- 1:05:35corporate world, leadership in
- 1:05:38governance, church leadership. When we
- 1:05:40talk about leadership, don't just look
- 1:05:43at his excellency alone or look at the
- 1:05:46men of GOD THAT OCCUPY THE HIGHEST OF
- 1:05:48THE RANKS SPIRITUALLY. LEADERSHIP STARTS
- 1:05:50WITH EVERYBODY. The father is a leader.
- 1:05:54The elder brother is a leader. The
- 1:05:56sister is a leader. Are we together?
- 1:05:59LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MUST BE TAUGHT AT
- 1:06:02EVERY LEVEL. Every level.
- 1:06:06Every level. Listen.
- 1:06:09I heard God's servant Dr. David Agui say
- 1:06:12this many years ago and let me recap on
- 1:06:14what he said that every national problem
- 1:06:18was first a regional problem that was
- 1:06:21not solved by the leaders there. Every
- 1:06:24regional problem was a community problem
- 1:06:27THAT WAS NOT SOLVED BY THE LEADERS
- 1:06:29THERE. And every community problem WAS A
- 1:06:33FAMILY PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT SOLVED. SO
- 1:06:36EVERY CHALLENGE TODAY, LISTEN, HOW MANY
- 1:06:38OF YOU KNOW THAT THOSE perpetuating
- 1:06:41crime at a national level came from
- 1:06:43homes.
- 1:06:45When the leadership in the home fails,
- 1:06:48leadership in the school fails,
- 1:06:50LEADERSHIP IN THE CHURCH FAILS,
- 1:06:52LEADERSHIP in corporate GOVERNANCE
- 1:06:54FAILS, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH POLITICAL
- 1:06:57LEADERSHIP CAN DO. So we must be ALL
- 1:06:59INCLUSIVE IN OUR CONCEPT of leadership.
- 1:07:04Business leaders, you have a role to
- 1:07:06play. FATHERS IN KENYA, YOU HAVE A ROLE
- 1:07:09TO PLAY. WHILE YOU LOOK AT GOVERNMENT,
- 1:07:12MAKE SURE YOU FIX YOUR own constituency.
- 1:07:16A responsible son will become a
- 1:07:19RESPONSIBLE CEO WILL BECOME a
- 1:07:22responsible governor. WHO UNDERSTANDS
- 1:07:24THIS? SAY AMEN. AND I PRAY for you. And
- 1:07:28I also pray for the church THAT THE
- 1:07:30CHURCH AND THE GOVERNMENT and business
- 1:07:33leaders will come up with programs.
- 1:07:36PROGRAMS THAT ARE INTENTIONAL in
- 1:07:39building leadership capacity. LEADERSHIP
- 1:07:42DEVELOPMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
- 1:07:46Please sit down. I have 10 minutes. I
- 1:07:48have to maximize my time.
- 1:07:51Listen please everyone.
- 1:07:54Servants of the living God, let me make
- 1:07:57a profound statement that I've learned
- 1:07:59by experience.
- 1:08:01Men can hear you as a preacher, but they
- 1:08:04only follow you when you become a
- 1:08:06leader.
- 1:08:09Men can listen to you if you are a
- 1:08:11preacher, but they will never follow you
- 1:08:13because you are a preacher. They follow
- 1:08:15you because you are a leader.
- 1:08:20Reformers are leaders. Builders are
- 1:08:24leaders.
- 1:08:25Transformers are leaders. All believers
- 1:08:29should be leaders. I pray for you. Let
- 1:08:32great leaders arise from here. Not just
- 1:08:35people seeking offices and titles, BUT
- 1:08:38PEOPLE WITH THE MENTALITY OF
- 1:08:40responsibility
- 1:08:42in Jesus name. Please sit down. Sit
- 1:08:45down. Let me give you an assignment. an
- 1:08:48assignment to cultivate leadership in
- 1:08:50you. When you go back home, clean your
- 1:08:53house, FIX THE PARLOR, THAT'S
- 1:08:56LEADERSHIP. Take care of your children.
- 1:08:58MAKE SURE THEIR FEES ARE paid on time.
- 1:09:01That's leadership. TAKE CARE OF YOUR
- 1:09:03WIFE, HUSBAND. THAT'S LEADERSHIP. TAKE
- 1:09:05CARE OF YOUR HUSBAND, WIFE. THAT'S
- 1:09:08LEADERSHIP. SIBLINGS, respect your
- 1:09:10parents. That's leadership. PARENTS,
- 1:09:12HONOR YOUR children and be kind to them.
- 1:09:15THAT'S LEADERSHIP. MEMBERS RESPECT
- 1:09:18PASTORS. THAT'S LEADERSHIP. PASTORS DO
- 1:09:20NOT TAKE MEMBERS FOR GRANTED. THAT'S
- 1:09:22LEADERSHIP.
- 1:09:26Leadership is at all levels.
- 1:09:35Number five. Number five. Number five. I
- 1:09:38have to walk with time. There are still
- 1:09:39other programs coming. Number five.
- 1:09:42The fifth element that defines the
- 1:09:45greatness of a nation is economic
- 1:09:47strength
- 1:09:49both for individuals and corporately
- 1:09:52speaking. Please listen. I wrote
- 1:09:54something here that I want you to
- 1:09:56listen.
- 1:09:58Please listen. Listen. Help me maximize
- 1:10:01my time left. Citizens must learn the
- 1:10:05skill OF VALUE and productivity.
- 1:10:09Citizens must learn the skill OF
- 1:10:12EFFECTIVE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. Citizens
- 1:10:15must learn the skill of investment from
- 1:10:19a very young age. Let me say that again.
- 1:10:22Financial intelligence,
- 1:10:24value and productivity,
- 1:10:26EFFECTIVE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND
- 1:10:29INVESTMENT. These are skills that must
- 1:10:32be taught from a young age.
- 1:10:34Learning how to be economically
- 1:10:36emancipated at 40 or 50 is almost too
- 1:10:40late because it takes time to build
- 1:10:42wealth with integrity.
- 1:10:46Hallelujah.
- 1:10:50Programs must be created
- 1:10:53that help to build a sense of economic
- 1:10:56responsibility
- 1:10:58in everyone.
- 1:11:02No nation can be economically
- 1:11:04emancipated with a dependency mentality.
- 1:11:08And this I don't need to say so much.
- 1:11:11God's servant again stressed IT DURING
- 1:11:13HIS TIME of preaching. Waiting for
- 1:11:16superstition
- 1:11:18or ABUSING THE CONCEPT OF GRACE AND
- 1:11:21favor as a license for irresponsibility.
- 1:11:24We must dump that mentality out of the
- 1:11:27window. I told you it's not grace
- 1:11:29available that profits. It is grace
- 1:11:31received, grace utilized and grace
- 1:11:35maximized because grace can be abused.
- 1:11:38Hallelujah. So everyone must take that
- 1:11:41responsibility. You must sit down and
- 1:11:44begin to build economically.
- 1:11:48families, schools, churches, AND OTHER
- 1:11:52RELIGIOUS BODIES. EVEN THE GOVERNMENT
- 1:11:55MUST STRUCTURE PROGRAMS THAT TEACH
- 1:11:57FINANCIAL intelligence and economic
- 1:12:00emancipation from a responsible
- 1:12:03standpoint. Listen. Void of gimmicks,
- 1:12:06VOID OF SUPERSTITIOUS PRACTICES, AND
- 1:12:09void of fraud.
- 1:12:14Number six. Number six.
- 1:12:19The sixth element that makes any nation
- 1:12:22great. Are you ready? Excellent and
- 1:12:26functional security architecture at all
- 1:12:30levels. Excellent and functional
- 1:12:34security architecture at all levels. Now
- 1:12:37listen please listen. The business of
- 1:12:41security goes beyond the government. It
- 1:12:44is everybody's responsibility.
- 1:12:47The man who forgot to lock his car, the
- 1:12:50one who left the door of his house
- 1:12:52unattended to. You see that? Now these
- 1:12:55are all elements of irresponsibility
- 1:12:57security-wise. Security is everybody's
- 1:13:00business.
- 1:13:02And we must train ourselves to be
- 1:13:05vigilant. We must train ourselves to
- 1:13:08speak well. How many of you know that
- 1:13:13cultured conversations is one way to
- 1:13:16keep security? When you are careless
- 1:13:18with words, you can heat up the
- 1:13:22territory. So when we talk ABOUT
- 1:13:24SECURITY, WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING OF
- 1:13:26HOLDING GUNS AND STANDING. THAT'S
- 1:13:28WONDERFUL. THAT'S ONE ASPECT. SPEAKING
- 1:13:31RIGHT IS A CONTRIBUTION to security.
- 1:13:34Love and kindness is a contribution to
- 1:13:37security. Unity and brotherhood is a
- 1:13:40contribution to security.
- 1:13:47Hallelujah.
- 1:13:52While government has a responsibility of
- 1:13:55creating a secure environment that will
- 1:13:58stimulate growth and attract foreign
- 1:14:00direct investment, the citizens must
- 1:14:03understand that at all levels they have
- 1:14:06a responsibility
- 1:14:07as stewards of this estate God gave you
- 1:14:11called Kenya.
- 1:14:13You see that now we must steward the
- 1:14:15security of Kenya. Nobody will come to
- 1:14:18invest in Kenya when there are security
- 1:14:20problems. The government has his role.
- 1:14:23And we pray that in the name of Jesus,
- 1:14:26God will continue empowering the
- 1:14:28government. But on your own part, you
- 1:14:31must learn the entire scope of security,
- 1:14:35speaking right, showing love, greed.
- 1:14:39Listen, listen, listen. Killing greed,
- 1:14:43killing greed is a security strategy.
- 1:14:52And I'm saying that to you.
- 1:14:55When you kill greed from your life, it
- 1:14:58is a security strategy. IT'S NOT JUST
- 1:15:00MORAL EXCELLENCE.
- 1:15:05Number seven,
- 1:15:09please lend me your attention. I'm
- 1:15:10wrapping up.
- 1:15:13Number seven, how nations become great.
- 1:15:17The seven element
- 1:15:19in addition
- 1:15:22to vision, IN ADDITION TO WELLDEFINED
- 1:15:26VALUES AND POLICIES, in addition to
- 1:15:28education, IN ADDITION TO VISIONARY AND
- 1:15:32transformative leadership, in addition
- 1:15:35to economic strength and emancipation,
- 1:15:38IN ADDITION TO A FUNCTIONAL SECURITY
- 1:15:40ARCHITECTURE, the last element is faith
- 1:15:44and spirituality.
- 1:15:46And please, I want you to listen. We're
- 1:15:48wrapping up.
- 1:15:50Faith and spirituality.
- 1:15:53I have learned from study and from the
- 1:15:55experience of leadership that faith,
- 1:15:58particularly for the African continent,
- 1:16:01is the number one influencer of values,
- 1:16:05of morals, and of actions. Whether good
- 1:16:08or bad,
- 1:16:11people largely think, act, and behave in
- 1:16:16ways that reflect and honor their
- 1:16:18spiritual convictions about God and
- 1:16:21about life.
- 1:16:23If you find a gentleman who is
- 1:16:25irresponsible, with all due respect,
- 1:16:28most likely something he was taught
- 1:16:31INITIATED OR SUPPORTED THAT BEHAVIOR.
- 1:16:35Faith is an influencer of actions,
- 1:16:39behaviors, morals, convictions.
- 1:16:45Traits like love and peace, giving and
- 1:16:49tolerance, forgiveness and diligence,
- 1:16:53justice and fairness. All of these are
- 1:16:56morals and traits THAT ARE LARGELY
- 1:16:59INFLUENCED. IN FACT, the Bible calls
- 1:17:01them the fruit of the spirit.
- 1:17:06They are all faith derived virtues. Let
- 1:17:09me conclude by saying this. Faith and
- 1:17:12spirituality
- 1:17:15ALMOST ALWAYS DESTROYS WHEN IT
- 1:17:18degenerates to fanatism and extremism.
- 1:17:22Faith and spirituality
- 1:17:25ALMOST ALWAYS DESTROYS WHEN it
- 1:17:27degenerates to fanatism and extremism.
- 1:17:32When faith and spirituality is practiced
- 1:17:35responsibly
- 1:17:36and with integrity, it becomes a major
- 1:17:40catalyst for nation building and
- 1:17:43territorial transformation. I am
- 1:17:45passionate about God and I'm passionate
- 1:17:48about his work, but I hate fanatism and
- 1:17:52I hate extremism. the world right now
- 1:17:55across Africa, Western Africa,
- 1:17:57subsaharan Africa, there is a cancer OF
- 1:18:01ALL KINDS OF ILLS AND VICES THAT were
- 1:18:04largely sponsored from extremism and
- 1:18:07fanatism. Let me speak particularly to
- 1:18:10the emerging generation.
- 1:18:13Be careful who mentors you and how you
- 1:18:16are mentored into understanding God and
- 1:18:20understanding faith.
- 1:18:22Do not replace passion with extremism.
- 1:18:26Extremism hurts. Extremism kills.
- 1:18:31God calls US TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT HIM
- 1:18:34AND HIS WORK. But extremism is where
- 1:18:37wickedness comes in and all kinds of
- 1:18:40vices. I pray for you in the name of
- 1:18:42Jesus Christ that as a nation and I must
- 1:18:45say this, listen. I must say this.
- 1:18:52I truly and and this this is just me.
- 1:18:54I'm a man of God. I truly want to honor
- 1:18:58the presence of his excellency and the
- 1:19:01wife in a prophetic program like this. I
- 1:19:05truly consider it prophetic.
- 1:19:08I've had the honor of meeting many
- 1:19:11presidents. I've had the honor of taking
- 1:19:14the gospel and the wisdom of God across
- 1:19:16many nations. It is not it's not a usual
- 1:19:20thing to find leaders at the highest
- 1:19:24level sit and listen and hear and learn.
- 1:19:29That for me is an embodiment of the
- 1:19:32willingness to bring reformation and
- 1:19:34transformation and is worthy of
- 1:19:36commendation. Please give his excellency
- 1:19:39and her excellency a deserving round of
- 1:19:42applause for their presence here
- 1:19:44tonight.
- 1:19:46Hallelujah.
- 1:19:49Amen.
- 1:19:51Please be seated. My time is up.
- 1:19:54My time is up. My time is up.
- 1:19:58I cannot end my session
- 1:20:01without
- 1:20:02allowing for as many who need to
- 1:20:05encounter Jesus.
- 1:20:09I will be speaking over your life. I'm
- 1:20:11walking on borrowed time. I must respect
- 1:20:14the other activities that will happen
- 1:20:16after now. But I don't want to leave
- 1:20:20Kenya this year without number one
- 1:20:22giving someone an opportunity to know
- 1:20:25and encounter Jesus. And then number
- 1:20:27two, I have to speak over your life. The
- 1:20:31usual is to call our fathers of faith
- 1:20:33and come and make declarations, but I
- 1:20:35have to respect the time allotted.
- 1:20:37Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
- 1:20:40Ladies and gentlemen, please look at me.
- 1:20:42John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the
- 1:20:44world." Let me reintroduce Jesus for
- 1:20:46you. Jesus is beyond the founder of a
- 1:20:49religion called Christianity. The Bible
- 1:20:51calls him the son of the living God. It
- 1:20:53calls him the propitiation for our sin.
- 1:20:56The Bible says there is no other name
- 1:20:58under heaven given unto men by which we
- 1:21:00should be saved. The verdict is clear
- 1:21:03that all have sinned and fallen short of
- 1:21:05the glory of God and that by the justice
- 1:21:08of God no one can stand before God
- 1:21:10guiltless. But then Jesus came as an
- 1:21:13emissary of mercy. The Bible says for
- 1:21:16God so loved the world that he gave us
- 1:21:18Jesus. He gave us Jesus as a gift. When
- 1:21:21Jesus walked upon the earth for your
- 1:21:23sake and my sake, the Bible says he went
- 1:21:26through the gruesome torture and through
- 1:21:28his substitutionary sacrifice, he's made
- 1:21:31available for us today a new and a
- 1:21:34living way.
- 1:21:35But the call is simple. John 3:16, it
- 1:21:39says that whosoever believeth on him
- 1:21:42should not perish. It's a law, but have
- 1:21:44life everlasting. Verse 17 of John 3
- 1:21:47says, "For God did not send his son into
- 1:21:49the world to condemn the world, but that
- 1:21:51the world through him might be saved."
- 1:21:53That in the day you hear his voice, he
- 1:21:55says, "To harden not your heart."
- 1:21:57Beloved brothers and sisters, one way to
- 1:22:00maximize this convergence is not just to
- 1:22:02rejoice and celebrate great preachers.
- 1:22:05Is to respond to this call. The Savior
- 1:22:07stands before you. He has to first be
- 1:22:10savior before he becomes king over your
- 1:22:13life. Allow me the honor standing on all
- 1:22:15the graces here represented to give you
- 1:22:17an opportunity to make it right with
- 1:22:19Jesus. There [music] are tens of
- 1:22:22thousands of people as far as my eyes
- 1:22:24can see. And in truth, not everyone may
- 1:22:26be able to come here. And I'll save the
- 1:22:29whole labor of trying to just walk with
- 1:22:31people. I will only allow as many who
- 1:22:34can have this place filled. Once the
- 1:22:36front is filled then every other person
- 1:22:39you can stand where you are cuz it may
- 1:22:41be a long walk from where you are coming
- 1:22:43but I want to count one to five for sake
- 1:22:45of time. You are in this place and you
- 1:22:47are saying apostle Reverend Julian I
- 1:22:50have heard you and I heard you clearly
- 1:22:52the spirit of God has convicted my
- 1:22:54heart. I'm looking for one sincere
- 1:22:56person who is not ashamed to win that
- 1:22:58war of destiny. I'm looking for one
- 1:23:00sincere person who is saying apostle I
- 1:23:03hear you and I hear God through you. I
- 1:23:05need to make it right. I need to [music]
- 1:23:07rededicate my life to Jesus. As I count
- 1:23:09one to five, I like you to run like I'm
- 1:23:12inviting you to receive an award. Only
- 1:23:14that this is greater and nobler than any
- 1:23:17other award you will receive in your
- 1:23:18life. Are you ready? I begin my
- 1:23:20counting. Kenya, East Africa, celebrate
- 1:23:23a harvest of salvation. One, come,
- 1:23:27come,
- 1:23:29come, come. Two, run to Jesus. come.

- 1:23:39uttermost. Keep clapping. Celebrate them

- 1:24:28son
- 1:24:30of God.
- 1:24:34The darling [music]
- 1:24:36of heaven
- 1:24:38rules.
- 1:24:45Worthy [music and singing] is the lamb.
- 1:24:52Are you celebrating a harvest? Come.
- 1:24:55Come.
- 1:24:57No matter how long he gives you a new
- 1:24:59beginning.
- 1:25:01Come. You can make it right with Jesus
- 1:25:03[music] once and for all.
- 1:25:08I don't care what you have done or not
- 1:25:10done.
- 1:25:11In his presence, you can find life and
- 1:25:14hope and healing. Hallelujah.
- 1:25:18Hallelujah. Now, please everyone listen.
- 1:25:22You can stop wherever you are. I think
- 1:25:24we've had enough people in front. There
- 1:25:25are still so many people trying to come.
- 1:25:28But for sake of security and crowd
- 1:25:30control and effective management of
- 1:25:32ourselves here, let me request that you
- 1:25:34stand right where you are. For those of
- 1:25:36you who are here and to those who are
- 1:25:38scattered from the farthest of the
- 1:25:41aisles to my left and my right and to
- 1:25:43those who are watching by way of
- 1:25:45television or by way of the internet,
- 1:25:47let me request that you lift your right
- 1:25:49hand high above your head to those who
- 1:25:52are here as a sign of surrender to
- 1:25:54Jesus. Say this as loud and as clear as
- 1:25:57you are able to say, "Lord Jesus."
- 1:26:00Say it again. Say, "Lord Jesus, tonight
- 1:26:04I have heard your word. I love you with
- 1:26:08all my heart." Say, "I believe you are
- 1:26:12the son of God. I believe you died for
- 1:26:16my sin. I believe you rose again for my
- 1:26:21justification.
- 1:26:22Right now I receive Jesus into my life
- 1:26:27as my savior, my lord, and [music] my
- 1:26:31king. Say, I declare that the power of
- 1:26:36sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is
- 1:26:41broken over my life. From tonight, I'm a
- 1:26:45child of God. I live for Jesus all the
- 1:26:48days of my life. With your hands still
- 1:26:50lifted. Let me bless you. In the name of
- 1:26:52Jesus, I decree and declare by the
- 1:26:54authority of God's word, I declare your

- 1:27:08go from glory to glory, grace to grace,
- 1:27:12loving Jesus and serving Jesus all the
- 1:27:15days of your life. And it's in Jesus
- 1:27:17mighty and marvelous name we pray. The
- 1:27:19church said amen. Amen. Now do me a
- 1:27:22favor. All of you please would you look
- 1:27:25to my right. That would be your left
