- 1:06Bassi. I was so blessed. Hallelujah.
- 1:10Let's lift our hands and ask the Lord to

- 1:42Jesus Christ.
- 1:44I receive your word in Jesus marvelous
- 1:46name we pray.
- 1:48>> Please you may be gloriously seated.
- 1:52I was so blessed listening to pastor
- 1:54Nathaniel Basi. You know, many times
- 1:57when I'm where he is, he's usually
- 1:59worshiping. And so, this is one of the
- 2:01few times where I've sat to really
- 2:03listen to him teach for this long. And
- 2:06it's incredible. I mean, it's an
- 2:07incredible dimension. Hallelujah.
- 2:10Amen. Amen. And amen.
- 2:14Someone, by the end of this conference,
- 2:16you will manifest the reality of
- 2:18dominion.
- 2:21>> For you, it will not just be something
- 2:22you're trying to confess into being. It
- 2:24will be your reality.
- 2:26>> It will be your experience
- 2:28>> in the name of Jesus Christ. Isaiah
- 2:31chapter 60 and verse one. We consider a
- 2:33few things. Isaiah chapter 60 and verse
- 2:37one. I'm teaching on the topic empowered
- 2:39by light. Empowered by light. We'll
- 2:44consider a few things. Empowered by
- 2:46light. Isaiah chapter 60 and verse one.
- 2:49Arise. It says, "Shine for your light
- 2:53has come and the glory of the Lord." Two
- 2:57words I want you to pick there. Light
- 3:00and glory.
- 3:02Light and glory.
- 3:05Your light has come and the glory of the
- 3:08Lord is risen upon you. Verse two says,
- 3:12"For darkness shall cover the earth and
- 3:15deep or gross darkness the people, but
- 3:18the Lord will arise over you and his
- 3:20glory will be seen upon you." Verse
- 3:22three, I like this. Gentiles shall come
- 3:26to your light and their kings to the
- 3:30brightness of your rising. May that be
- 3:33your testimony in Jesus name.
- 3:35>> Scripture number two, Proverbs chapter 4
- 3:37and verse 18. I received this for
- 3:39myself. Proverbs 4:18, "But the path of
- 3:43Joshua Selman
- 3:46is like the shining sun." NK KJV says,
- 3:50"That shineth ever brighter." Say,
- 3:53"Ever."
- 3:54>> Ever.
- 3:55>> It shineth ever brighter. KJV says,
- 3:58"More and more onto the perfect day."
- 4:02Is as a shining light that shines more
- 4:06and more onto the perfect day. A perfect
- 4:10day. Hallelujah.
- 4:14Now to establish a foundation for my
- 4:17discussion with us. It is God's desire
- 4:20for believers to walk in victory and to
- 4:24walk in dominion. It's important for us
- 4:27to know that it is God's desire for you
- 4:30and I, regardless our current
- 4:32situations, it is God's desire for us to
- 4:35walk in victory and to walk in dominion.
- 4:38Do you believe that? Yes,
- 4:39>> it's true. You have to believe that it
- 4:42is God's desire. You see, when you're
- 4:45not sure whether something is the will
- 4:46of God or not, it will affect your faith
- 4:50because your faith must be predicated on
- 4:52your understanding that you are in the
- 4:54will of God to the degree to which you
- 4:56are confident that you are in the will
- 4:58of God. Then you'll be able to exercise
- 5:00your faith. So, settle it once and for
- 5:03all that it is God's will for you and I,
- 5:06every one of us here to walk in victory.
- 5:08Say victory.
- 5:09>> Victory
- 5:10>> to walk in dominion. Say dominion.
- 5:12>> Dominion.
- 5:13>> Say it again. Say victory.
- 5:14>> Victory.
- 5:15>> Say dominion.
- 5:16>> Dominion.
- 5:16>> Hallelujah. That whilst we're about
- 5:18advancing his program on earth, we walk
- 5:21in victory and we walk in dominion.
- 5:25Number two, victory and dominion is our
- 5:28heritage in Christ.
- 5:31It is our heritage in Christ. The Bible
- 5:34reveals to us that in Christ,
- 5:37Ephesians 1 and:3, Paul was speaking to
- 5:40the church in Ephesus and he says,
- 5:42"Blessed be the God and the father of
- 5:45our Lord Jesus Christ who had blessed
- 5:47us," not will bless, not is about to
- 5:50bless, he had blessed us already with
- 5:53every spiritual resource or blessing in
- 5:57heavenly places and in Christ.
- 6:00Hallelujah. It says, "Worthy is the lamb
- 6:03that was slain. He has received for us
- 6:06riches and blessings and honor and power
- 6:09and so on and so forth. It is your
- 6:11heritage in Christ to walk in victory.
- 6:15It is your heritage in Christ to walk in
- 6:18dominion." The Bible says, "Now, thanks
- 6:20be to God which causes us always to
- 6:23triumph." Then it says, "Thanks be to
- 6:26God who gives us the victory." Say, "I'm
- 6:28victorious."
- 6:29>> I'm victorious.
- 6:31This is a bibleelving church. Let the
- 6:33redeemed of the Lord say so. Say, I am
- 6:35victorious.
- 6:36>> I am victorious.
- 6:38>> So dominion and victory is our heritage
- 6:40in Christ. The third thing I want you to
- 6:43know is that more and more is your
- 6:45destiny in Christ. Oh yes, more and
- 6:48more. I like that expression. Say more.
- 6:51>> More
- 6:51>> and more and more.
- 6:53>> One more time. Say more.
- 6:54>> More
- 6:54>> and more and more.
- 6:56>> One last time. Say more.
- 6:57>> More
- 6:57>> and more and more. That means to the
- 6:59believer in Christ, you should never
- 7:02have a better yesterday.
- 7:05>> Never have a better yesterday. No matter
- 7:07how great yesterday was, today and
- 7:10tomorrow should by far.
- 7:13>> Did you believe that?
- 7:14>> Again, say more and more.
- 7:16>> More and more.
- 7:16>> To a businessman, say more and more.
- 7:19>> More and more.
- 7:20>> That means although you have seen the
- 7:21glory of God now, I expect that the next
- 7:24time I see you, it should be ever
- 7:26increasing. Ever increasing. [music]
- 7:29Ever increasing. Are you receiving it?
- 7:32Ever increasing.
- 7:33>> THE PATH OF THE JUST is as a shining
- 7:37light that shineth brighter and brighter
- 7:40more and more until the perfect day. Job
- 7:438 and verse 7. Profound scripture. Job.
- 7:47Though your beginning were small,
- 7:51the only part of your life that should
- 7:53be small is your
- 7:55>> talk to me.
- 7:59Once it is beyond beginning, it
- 8:01shouldn't be small again.
- 8:03>> Who is receiving it?
- 8:06>> Though your beginning
- 8:08be small
- 8:10once it crosses the realm of beginning,
- 8:13smallness should die.
- 8:15>> It says your latter
- 8:18should greatly increase.
- 8:23>> Hallelujah. Do you believe this?
- 8:26Hagi chapter 2, we'll read verse three
- 8:29and then for sake of time we'll jump to
- 8:31verse 9. Hagi chapter 2:3 I read verse
- 8:34three then we'll read nine together. Who
- 8:37is left among you who saw this temple in
- 8:41its former glory? There is such a thing
- 8:44as former glory.
- 8:46Who saw this temple in its former glory?
- 8:50And how do you see it now in comparison?
- 8:53It says it is. Is it not in your eyes as
- 8:56nothing? But that's the good news in
- 8:58verse 9. Give us verse 9. Hegi 2. It
- 9:01says the glory.
- 9:04Hold on. You know what temple that is?
- 9:07Not the building. You
- 9:10the glory of this later temple
- 9:15shall be greater than the former said
- 9:18the Lord. And in this place I will give
- 9:21peace.
- 9:25Do you believe this?
- 9:26>> Yes, sir.
- 9:27>> Now, very quickly, why should we desire
- 9:30victory and why should we desire
- 9:32dominion? It's important for us to have
- 9:36a biblical understanding as to why every
- 9:39believer should contend to walk in the
- 9:42experience of victory, triumph,
- 9:44advancement, and dominion. Let me give
- 9:47you a few reasons. Number one, very
- 9:48quickly, our dominion,
- 9:51our fruitfulness, our results, our being
- 9:55victorious
- 9:57brings glory to God upon the earth. It
- 10:00is how God is glorified upon the earth.
- 10:04Our walking in victory, our manifesting
- 10:07dominion, God, I sense the anointing in
- 10:09this place.
- 10:16You see as you are listening I want you
- 10:19to know that two things are happening to
- 10:20you. Number one there is a dimension of
- 10:22knowledge that is coming through the
- 10:24gate of intellect. But there is another
- 10:26dimension that is a spirit
- 10:27communication. This is beyond the realm
- 10:30of words. You are being quickened.
- 10:32Ezekiel chapter 2 and verse two it says
- 10:34son of man stand upon your feet and I
- 10:36will speak unto you. And he had no
- 10:38strength. Verse two says, "And the
- 10:40spirit," not an information, "the spirit
- 10:43entered into me and set me upon my
- 10:46feet."
- 10:49The spirit entered into me. The spirit
- 10:53entered into me.
- 10:56So, you're manifesting victory and
- 10:59dominion in ministry. You are being
- 11:01fruitful, your excelling is how God is
- 11:05glorified upon the earth. It's important
- 11:07for you to know this. So when we contend
- 11:10to walk in victory and to manifest
- 11:12dominion in every area of life, it's not
- 11:15just some cannal pursuit. It is because
- 11:17there is a desire within us to see God
- 11:20glorified. John 15:8 John 15:16.
- 11:25It says, "Hearing is our father
- 11:27glorified. When ye bear much fruit, so
- 11:31shall you be my disciples." John 15:16,
- 11:34"You have not chosen me, but I have
- 11:36chosen you and ordained you to go and
- 11:39bear fruit and that your fruit should
- 11:41remain."
- 11:42Hallelujah.
- 11:45Matthew chapter 5 from verse 13- 16, you
- 11:49are the salt of the earth. Not like you
- 11:51are the salt of the earth. But if the
- 11:53salt has lost its sever, it says,
- 11:55"Wherein shall it be salted? It is tends
- 11:57good for nothing except to be thrown
- 11:59down and trampled underfoot of men."
- 12:01Then it says verse 14, you are the light
- 12:04of the world. You are a city that is set
- 12:07on and heal that cannot be hidden.
- 12:09Neither do men light a lamp and put it
- 12:12under a bushell, but that they put it on
- 12:15the lampstand so that it will give life
- 12:17to all within the room. In that
- 12:19similitude, it says, "Let your light so
- 12:23shine
- 12:25so shine before men." He wants the men
- 12:28to see to see your good works. And then
- 12:31they glorify your father in heaven.
- 12:34Hallelujah.
- 12:36Ephesians 2 from verse 10, the Bible
- 12:39says, "We are his workmanship created in
- 12:42Christ Jesus unto good works which God
- 12:44had pre-ordained that we should walk in
- 12:46them." Ephesians 3:10, it says, "Now to
- 12:49the intent that unto principalities and
- 12:52powers might be made known by the
- 12:54church, the manifold wisdom of God." The
- 12:58manifold wisdom of God. So we contend
- 13:01for everinccreasing glory because that
- 13:04is how Jesus is glorified upon the
- 13:06earth. Are we learning?
- 13:08>> Number two,
- 13:11our walking in victory
- 13:14and our being impactful has the capacity
- 13:17to draw many to Jesus.
- 13:21When we walk in victory, when we
- 13:23manifest dominion, when we live in
- 13:26pactful Christian lives in
- 13:28everinccreasing dimensions of glory, it
- 13:31sustains the power to draw many to
- 13:33Jesus. I recall John 4 should be when
- 13:37you read from verse 28 to 30. There's a
- 13:40narrative of the woman at the well.
- 13:41Remember the Bible talks about a woman
- 13:42at the well who had five husbands. The
- 13:45sixth was not even her husband. and she
- 13:47meets with Jesus and they be they BEGAN
- 13:50TO CONVERSE. EVENTUALLY she found out he
- 13:53was a prophet and she probed him around
- 13:55the matters of worship. The Bible says
- 13:57when he answered her question she left
- 13:59her fetcher and ran to the city. Her
- 14:03orientation changed immediately. She
- 14:05gathered the entire city and said come
- 14:07see a man.
- 14:10Come see a man. The compelling power of
- 14:13her witness, it drew people. They ran
- 14:16and came come see a man. The Bible talks
- 14:19about a madman in gatherer. When that
- 14:21man was healed, he brought a decap 10
- 14:24cities to Jesus.
- 14:26>> It matters that you produce results.
- 14:29>> Let me tell you this, your results are
- 14:31evangelists.
- 14:32>> There is a sermon only results can
- 14:34preach.
- 14:36When you walk in dominion, power, grace,
- 14:40everinccreasing glory, your life becomes
- 14:43a living epistle, it preaches the mercy
- 14:46of God. It preaches the grace of God. It
- 14:49preaches the power of God. It preaches
- 14:52the wisdom of God. Do you believe this?
- 14:55Yes,
- 14:58>> every believer in Christ has access to
- 15:02the spiritual resources available for
- 15:04our walking in victory. So the Bible
- 15:07tells us that once you are in Christ in
- 15:10Christ meaning you have received the
- 15:12life of God. The Bible tells us in
- 15:14Ephesians 1:3, we read that earlier on
- 15:17that we have been given every blessing
- 15:20in spiritual places in Christ. 2 Peter
- 15:241:3 and4 says, "According as his divine
- 15:26power, hath given us all things, how
- 15:29many things?
- 15:30>> All things that pertain unto life and
- 15:33godliness through the knowledge of him
- 15:35who has called us to glory and virtue."
- 15:38The next verse says, "Whereby are giving
- 15:41to us exceeding great um you know great
- 15:44and exceeding precious promises that by
- 15:46them we might be partakers of his divine
- 15:49nature, having escaped the corruption
- 15:51that is in the world through lust.
- 15:57Every believer in Christ has access."
- 15:59Now please pay attention. Access does
- 16:02not mean possession.
- 16:06>> This is why discussion gets deeper. In
- 16:08Christ you have access but access does
- 16:12not mean manifestation. I can give you a
- 16:15check of 10 million naira. I have given
- 16:18you the potential to have 10 million
- 16:21naira under a certain condition. Not
- 16:25under every condition. There are
- 16:27conditions tied to it to turn the check
- 16:30to cash so that you are able to use it.
- 16:33Did you know that an individual can hold
- 16:35on to that check for the rest of your
- 16:37life in need of 1 million whereas you
- 16:40have say for in this illustration 10
- 16:42million and never be able to maximize
- 16:45the potential. Did you know you're not
- 16:47cashing that check misrepresents the
- 16:50benevolence of the giver?
- 16:52>> Anybody who has to learn about the giver
- 16:55using your life may hate the giver
- 16:57thinking he were not a giver. Yet it's
- 17:00been given to you. But because you do
- 17:02not understand the law of conversion,
- 17:04the dynamics that turn spiritual
- 17:07realities.
- 17:09Is somebody learning now? And this is my
- 17:11assignment tonight to show you through
- 17:14the lens of scripture how to cause the
- 17:17word to become flesh. The Bible says,
- 17:19"And the word became
- 17:22>> became became
- 17:25the word became wealth." The word became
- 17:29influence. The word became healing and
- 17:32health. There is a technology that
- 17:34converts spiritual realities
- 17:38to find expression here and now.
- 17:41>> Are we learning? Please pray in the
- 17:43spirit in one minute.
- 17:53Ratina
- 17:54sabreadesh
- 17:58access to spiritual resources
- 18:08in Jesus marvelous name we pray.
- 18:11>> Now please listen walking in the reality
- 18:14of dominion, victory and fruitfulness
- 18:18demands light.
- 18:21Light. And I explain to you what light
- 18:23means in the kingdom. When we talk about
- 18:25light in the kingdom, it's a very
- 18:28complex word that if you are to walk and
- 18:31manifest
- 18:33in dominion, victory in experience, the
- 18:38non-negotiable requirement is that you
- 18:40must access light. Someone say light.
- 18:44>> Please shout it like you're receiving.
- 18:45Say light.
- 18:47>> Light here means illumination.
- 18:50Light means having a functional
- 18:52knowledge of the truth.
- 18:55When we talk about light in the kingdom,
- 18:58it refers to illumination. It refers to
- 19:02possessing a functional knowledge of the
- 19:05truth. Not a theoretical knowledge, a
- 19:08functional knowledge of the truth. Light
- 19:11also extends to mean wisdom. Light
- 19:14extends to mean understanding.
- 19:17Hallelujah.
- 19:20light
- 19:23in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 5.
- 19:25Genesis 1 and verse 5. Very profound
- 19:28scripture. Please give it to us. The
- 19:30Bible says Genesis 1 and 5. 1 and 5. And
- 19:34God called the light day. Look at that
- 19:38scripture carefully. He called the light
- 19:40what?
- 19:41>> And the darkness he called.
- 19:43>> So another word for light is
- 19:45>> another word for darkness is
- 19:47>> night.
- 19:49He called the light day. That means you
- 19:53are not in your day when it is 12 noon.
- 19:57You are in your day when light comes. So
- 20:00you can be in your afternoon
- 20:02chronologically speaking and you are
- 20:05still in the night. And there are things
- 20:07that follow the night season. It says
- 20:09weeping endures for as long as you are
- 20:12in your night. If light has not come,
- 20:14even if it's 12:00, even if it's 2026,
- 20:18even if it's 2027, PROVIDED YOUR LIGHT
- 20:21HAS not come, your day has not broken.
- 20:25>> He called the light day. And the
- 20:28darkness he called. So every time you
- 20:32are in darkness, [music]
- 20:33bankrupt of light, bankrupt of
- 20:35illumination, the Bible says you are in
- 20:38your night. Whether it is noon
- 20:40chronologically.
- 20:42So there are many people who are in
- 20:44their afternoon but they in THE NIGHT.
- 20:47THE REALM of the spirit does not
- 20:48recognize afternoon. It recognizes light
- 20:51or darkness. That's what defines day or
- 20:54night. And he says once you are in the
- 20:56night weeping endures.
- 20:59It's not just that weeping comes. It can
- 21:01endure. That means years don't take away
- 21:05the presence of darkness. It can endure.
- 21:08Weeping has the power to continue in the
- 21:11life of a man until the daylight.
- 21:15It says, "But joy comes."
- 21:16[clears throat]
- 21:19Joy comes.
- 21:22Joy comes. SO IT CAN BE 12 midnight
- 21:26chronologically, but the realm of the
- 21:28spirit does not acknowledge it as
- 21:29darkness because my light MAKES IT DAY
- 21:32ALL THE TIME. DAY ALL SEASON.
- 21:37Is someone learning now? The prize for
- 21:39dominion and glory is light. AND LIKE I
- 21:43SAID, LIGHT HERE IS A VERY COMPOSITE
- 21:46WORD. LIGHT, WISDOM, functional
- 21:49knowledge, understanding.
- 21:51Psalm 82:5, they know not, neither will
- 21:55they understand. They walk on in
- 21:57darkness, and all the foundations of the
- 22:00earth are out of cause. Verse six, it
- 22:02says, "I have said
- 22:05ye are gods." And how many of you?
- 22:09>> Not just the preachers among you. NO,
- 22:12NOT JUST THE MISSIONARIES among you. ALL
- 22:14OF YOU ARE children of the most high.
- 22:17The tragedy is in the next verse. But
- 22:19you shall die like mere men and fall
- 22:22like one of his princes.
- 22:27Light.
- 22:30He called
- 22:32the light day.
- 22:35He called the darkness night. If you do
- 22:40business in the night, you will most
- 22:43likely not prosper because nobody can
- 22:45see you. Now watch this. Did you know
- 22:47that there is beauty when there is
- 22:49light? I can see your color. I see that
- 22:52is red. I see that is blue. But if you
- 22:54switch on the light, you don't have to
- 22:57change what you are wearing. I cannot
- 22:58reward you. I cannot appreciate you
- 23:01because the capacity to discern your
- 23:03difference has been taken away. But is
- 23:06somebody learning now?
- 23:09>> So two people can do ministry. One is
- 23:12doing ministry in the day, one is doing
- 23:15ministry in the night. His John 3:16 can
- 23:18be received because he's speaking from a
- 23:21standpoint of light. Another person can
- 23:24say John 3:16, but he will be left alone
- 23:27because he's ministering in the dark.
- 23:30Two people can do business, SAME
- 23:32FORMULA, SAME STRATEGY, but one is
- 23:35functioning in the day whereas another
- 23:38person is functioning in the night.
- 23:44Is somebody learning?
- 23:49In this kingdom,
- 23:52dominion in any area is based on
- 23:56sufficient knowledge, not sentiments.
- 23:59Sufficient knowledge manifesting the
- 24:01glory of God in and through your life in
- 24:05ever increasing dimensions. And by the
- 24:07way, I hope you know what glory is. The
- 24:10glory of a thing represents all of the
- 24:13characteristic features of that thing
- 24:16that makes it worthy of admiration that
- 24:19makes it expensive or makes it worthy of
- 24:22worship. So when you talk about the
- 24:24glory of a thing, you have to
- 24:26investigate all the qualities that makes
- 24:29that person or that thing desirable. The
- 24:32glory of my phone is in the features of
- 24:35the phone. That's what justifies it
- 24:37being expensive. Are we together now? So
- 24:40if I want to know the glory of my phone,
- 24:42I would have to read the manual to see
- 24:44the speed to see you know all of those
- 24:47all of those things. So when you say the
- 24:49glory of God, you have to break the
- 24:51dimensions of God and investigate the
- 24:54distinctive features that makes him
- 24:57worthy of worship. So his wisdom, his
- 24:59goodness, his power. Is somebody
- 25:02learning? Now when we talk about the
- 25:04glory of God, it says arise, shine for
- 25:07your Now you understand. Then it says
- 25:10BECAUSE YOUR LIGHT HAS COME NOT YOUR
- 25:13LIGHT IS THERE. YOU DON'T ARISE BECAUSE
- 25:15YOUR life is there. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
- 25:17THERE BUT THE DAY IT COMES TO YOU LIKE
- 25:20HE SENT A WORD to Jacob [music]
- 25:22and it lighten upon.
- 25:26>> Then he says the glory of the Lord is
- 25:28[music] risen. The wisdom of the Lord
- 25:31the goodness of the Lord the power of
- 25:33the Lord. Your life becomes an eulgence
- 25:36of the limitless possibilities of the
- 25:38kingdom.
- 25:43[clears throat]
- 25:46>> You cannot walk in dominion in spite of
- 25:49the fact that all things are yours in
- 25:51Christ. Walking in the experience of it.
- 25:54Listen, you see the life that we have
- 25:57received, this Zoe life, activating the
- 26:01riches that are embedded in that life is
- 26:04knowledge dependent. [music]
- 26:06Ephesians 4 and verse 18, Paul made a
- 26:08very profound statement. He said,
- 26:10"Having their understanding darkened."
- 26:12He's speaking to believers in Christ. He
- 26:15says, "Being alienated." I find that
- 26:17scripture profound. HOW DO YOU get
- 26:20alienated from the life of God? I have
- 26:22received THE LIFE OF GOD BUT I am
- 26:24alienated from the profit of that
- 26:27experience because of the blindness.
- 26:31The blindness.
- 26:33So I am in Christ but I may not
- 26:36experience the riches, the goodness, the
- 26:39potentials that have come with that life
- 26:41that I have received because activating
- 26:45and releasing the riches in that Zoe
- 26:48life is dependent on knowledge. light.
- 26:53This is the reason why even after you
- 26:54are saved, you are ushered into the
- 26:57ministry of the teaching priest.
- 27:01Jeremiah 3:15, I will give you pastors,
- 27:04you have the life of Christ. But to
- 27:07activate that life so that you walk in
- 27:09the profit of it, you need to be fed
- 27:12with knowledge
- 27:14and understanding.
- 27:16Knowledge and understanding.
- 27:19Knowledge and understanding. So you can
- 27:21find two believers, any two believers,
- 27:24perhaps believers in Summit Bible
- 27:26Church, brother A versus brother B,
- 27:29SAVED THE SAME DAY, MENTORED UNDER the
- 27:32same pastor, and you find out that their
- 27:34spiritual lives or generally speaking,
- 27:36the quality of their lives, the
- 27:38manifestation of the glory of God within
- 27:41and through their lives can be so far
- 27:43apart. AND YOU WONDER WHY THE PROBLEM IS
- 27:46not the life they received in Christ.
- 27:48same life but the difference is their
- 27:51access to light. One has through the
- 27:54sacrifice of alignment through
- 27:56discipline, diligence, taken advantage
- 27:58of the grace of God, he has contended
- 28:00for light whereas the other is still
- 28:03shadow boxing in assumptions hoping
- 28:06superstitiously maybe that things will
- 28:08change like we say one day go better.
- 28:10No,
- 28:12you define your possibilities when you
- 28:14pursue light.
- 28:20Hallelujah.
- 28:22>> Glory be to God.
- 28:24>> Hosea chapter 4 and verse 6. The first
- 28:27two words. I find those two words very
- 28:30very disturbing. The first two words
- 28:32please if you can shout it. One, two,
- 28:34go.
- 28:35>> One more time.
- 28:37>> Whose people?
- 28:39>> And yet they are destroyed. It didn't
- 28:42say enemies. It didn't say Assyrians.
- 28:46It didn't SAY THE HITTITES, THE
- 28:48JEBUSITES, MY PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THE
- 28:51ASSYRIANS, my people, JUST LIKE THE
- 28:53JEBUSITES ARE DESTROYED. THEIR DESTINY
- 28:56SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ALTHOUGH THEY ARE
- 28:58MY PEOPLE. And the reason is for the
- 29:01lack of knowledge.
- 29:04My people are destroyed for the lack of
- 29:09knowledge. In Ephesians chapter one,
- 29:12Pastor N spoke a bit about that when he
- 29:14was speaking. When you read from verse
- 29:1616 to 19, Paul prayed a prayer that
- 29:19seemed to be a burden in his heart. It
- 29:21was over the people he had so cherished,
- 29:24the Ephesian church, the church in
- 29:26Ephesus. He says, "I cease not to thank
- 29:29God for you, although you are saved." He
- 29:32says, "I make mention of you in my
- 29:34prayer." What's the context? THAT THE
- 29:36GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER
- 29:39of
- 29:39>> glory,
- 29:40>> the father of
- 29:41>> glory,
- 29:42>> WHAT'S [screaming] HE CALLED? WHEN HE
- 29:44TALKS ABOUT THE FATHER OF GLORY, he now
- 29:46talks of the spirit of wisdom.
- 29:49The father of glory that he will grant
- 29:51you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
- 29:54in the knowledge of him. 18 IT SAYS THE
- 29:57EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING. That's where
- 30:00the problem is being enlightened.
- 30:02Amplified says flooded with light that
- 30:05you may know is the word epignosis to
- 30:08come into oneness with that information
- 30:11that you may know the hope of his
- 30:13calling
- 30:15and the glorious inheritance among the
- 30:18saints. Please back to KJV. AND THEN
- 30:20VERSE 19 SAYS to know the exceeding
- 30:23greatness of HIS POWER TO US. WHAT who
- 30:25believe?
- 30:27>> Light.
- 30:29>> Light.
- 30:30>> Someone shout it like a cry.
- 30:33>> [cheering]
- 30:35>> light
- 30:38in Luke chapter 15 let's read from verse
- 30:418 to10 are we learning Luke 158 to 10
- 30:45the Bible says either what woman having
- 30:4810 pieces of silver how many pieces of
- 30:51silver
- 30:52>> so in other words this woman has
- 30:54treasure the Bible says it is possible
- 30:57that she can lose one piece but that
- 30:59when you lose one piece The first way to
- 31:02remedy that situation is to do what?
- 31:05>> Light a candle.
- 31:09>> Do I have believers in church?
- 31:12>> Every time there are losses AND
- 31:14DEPLETION AND THE BANKRUPTCY OF GLORY,
- 31:16HOW DO YOU respond to that situation?
- 31:18You don't cry around. YOU DON'T WHINE
- 31:21AROUND. IT SAYS THE BELIEVER'S response
- 31:23to darkness and losses and pain when
- 31:26things are not working in your life.
- 31:28Rather than giving excuses, it says in a
- 31:31hurry, light your candle. Something
- 31:34about the absence of light was what
- 31:36authorized the loss in the first place.
- 31:39Light your candle. When the candle is
- 31:42lit, then begin to sweep.
- 31:46Begin to sweep. You sweep through
- 31:49meditation.
- 31:51Proverbs 18 and verse one.
- 31:55Proverbs 18 and verse one. And then
- 31:56we're back here. It says through desire.
- 31:59What desire? The desire to excel. The
- 32:02desire to maximize destiny. The desire
- 32:04to reveal the fullness of God in you. If
- 32:07[music] that is your desire, IT SAYS ANY
- 32:10MAN BURNING WITH THAT VISION, THAT
- 32:13DESIRE. The Bible says he separated
- 32:16[music] himself. Then he seeketh.
- 32:19That's like sweeping.
- 32:22So you get light and you begin to
- 32:24[music] search. There is a way out.
- 32:26There is a way out. Why is favor not
- 32:29working in my life? I'm a child of God.
- 32:33Favor should follow me, should surround
- 32:35me as a shield. But since that is not
- 32:37the case, I take responsibility. I light
- 32:40my candle.
- 32:43>> Why am I buffeted by sickness and
- 32:46disease? In spite of the fact that it's
- 32:48been nailed to the cross, it does not
- 32:50seem to respect that reality in my life.
- 32:52Rather than blaming, I light my candle.
- 32:56Someone say, "Light your candle."
- 32:58>> Say it again. Say, "Light your candle."
- 33:00No, it's not a cliche. Light your
- 33:02candle.
- 33:03>> Light your candle.
- 33:07>> Let's finish up that scripture. Luke 15
- 33:09and:e 9. It says, "And when he had found
- 33:11it, she calls her friends and neighbors
- 33:15together, saying, rejoice with me, for I
- 33:18have found the treasure that I lost.
- 33:23So the whole business of losing treasure
- 33:25and finding it was predicated upon
- 33:28light.
- 33:30Is somebody learning light?
- 33:38We need deep enough knowledge. Not just
- 33:40knowledge. We know some things. But you
- 33:44see,
- 33:46every dimension of possibility or
- 33:48reality in the kingdom has a requisite
- 33:52level of knowledge and intelligence.
- 33:53[music] I'll just show you that and then
- 33:55we'll pray.
- 33:56breakthrough,
- 33:59favor,
- 34:01dominion, influence, and all of these
- 34:04spiritual possibilities that have been
- 34:06purchased for us in Christ, they depend
- 34:09on a certain kind of understanding and
- 34:13spiritual orientation to be activated in
- 34:16your life. Are we learning? 1
- 34:18Corinthians chapter 8 and verse 2 is a
- 34:20scripture that I personally found very
- 34:23instructive. 1 Corinthians 8 and:e 2.
- 34:26Here's what it says. And if any man
- 34:28think that he knoweth anything, it says
- 34:31he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to
- 34:34know. Perhaps you may have heard me give
- 34:36this illustration. How many of you know
- 34:38you don't need to score zero to fail the
- 34:40exam?
- 34:42You just need to not get the cutff
- 34:44point. So if the cutff point is 50 and
- 34:48you score 49, you did not get zero, but
- 34:51you still failed. So when they gathered
- 34:54those who did not write the exam and
- 34:56they gathered those who got zero and
- 34:58those who you will be in the same
- 35:00category there will be no difference.
- 35:03NOW YOU TRIED AT LEAST YOU PASSED SOME
- 35:06QUESTIONS AND FAILED OR OTHERS BUT ON
- 35:08AVERAGE you are still right there. So
- 35:10the one who did not write the exam the
- 35:13one who scored zero and the one who
- 35:15scored 49 will all be in the same
- 35:17category.
- 35:20H
- 35:24there is a requisite level of knowledge.
- 35:26Please look up. Did you know that in our
- 35:30illustration if you have your phone
- 35:32light, your phone light has light but
- 35:35not enough to turn this beautiful church
- 35:38to be bright enough.
- 35:40>> If we off all of this light right now
- 35:43and you use your single phone light, it
- 35:46we would notice that there is light
- 35:48there. but not enough to drive away
- 35:51darkness. So the issue for some is
- 35:54intensity.
- 35:58Have you been to the stadium in the
- 36:00night? You would not even know that it
- 36:02is night because the light there drives
- 36:04away darkness. The reason why darkness
- 36:07still seems to linger is that the light
- 36:10you have does not have the kind of
- 36:13intensity
- 36:30Ah,
- 36:32Ecclesiastes 10 and verse 15.
- 36:35The Bible says the labor of the fool.
- 36:38Now the fool here is not an insult. It's
- 36:41a description of a kind of person. That
- 36:43person can be a believer. The word fool
- 36:46here is not like we tell people you are
- 36:47foolish. It just means you are bankrupt
- 36:49of light, WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING. IT SAYS
- 36:52THAT PERSON can labor but the labor of
- 36:55the foolish wearth them
- 36:59because he knoweth not how to go to the
- 37:02city. HE KNOWS THERE IS A CITY.
- 37:07ARE WE TOGETHER? HE'S VISIONARY ENOUGH
- 37:09TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A GREAT TOMORROW.
- 37:12But how to get there?
- 37:14How to get there? There are many of us
- 37:16who have seen our tomorrow in our
- 37:18dreams. We have seen a great destiny.
- 37:21Every time pastor preaches, he paints
- 37:23[laughter] a picture FROM SCRIPTURE. YOU
- 37:25KNOW THAT YOU ARE ORDAINED FOR GRACE AND
- 37:27GLORY. But you need to know how to get
- 37:29there.
- 37:31How to get there?
- 37:34Did you know that if you don't know how
- 37:36to get to a place, the first thing that
- 37:38suffers is speed? You will have to slow
- 37:40down because you are not sure if you are
- 37:42passed the place. You see that? Now if
- 37:46if I know the house is around this
- 37:48street but I don't exactly know the
- 37:50house, it will compel me. I will
- 37:53underutilize the potential OF MY CAR. I
- 37:56HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE.
- 37:58But if you know with certainty that this
- 38:01is house number 107, you come with
- 38:04confidence.
- 38:05>> That's right.
- 38:07>> Confidence.
- 38:08Are you learning so far?
- 38:10>> Yes, sir.
- 38:10>> Again, shout loud.
- 38:12>> Light is connected to glory. Light is
- 38:15connected to dominion. You will only
- 38:17arise and you will shine. Not because
- 38:192026 is over. Let me tell you the truth.
- 38:24Next year can still look like last year.
- 38:27Can still look like this year. Next year
- 38:30does not change because of time. It
- 38:32changes because of the introduction of
- 38:35light.
- 38:37The day your light comes, your night is
- 38:40turned to day.
- 38:43High level spiritual illumination. Are
- 38:47we learning? Now watch this.
- 38:52In Psalm 45 and verse4, let me tie up a
- 38:56few things and then we'll pray. 45 and
- 38:58verse4 Psalms it says and in your
- 39:01majesty it said write prosperously
- 39:05because of truth
- 39:08you write prosperously upon your high
- 39:10places in life and destiny because of
- 39:14truth that you have found the truth and
- 39:17that it sustains the power to make you
- 39:19free. He says and you shall know the
- 39:21truth and the truth that you know shall
- 39:24make you free. Divine
- 39:28health is a reality in Christ, but there
- 39:31is a certain kind of understanding that
- 39:34releases it to your life in experience.
- 39:37Longevity is a reality in Christ, but it
- 39:41depends on a certain kind of spiritual
- 39:43orientation. Are we learning to enjoy
- 39:46the reality of longevity? Supernatural
- 39:49finances, economic emancipation is part
- 39:52of God's program for you. But there is a
- 39:54level of intelligence and understanding
- 39:57that can make it your reality.
- 39:59Influence, kingdom influence is God's
- 40:03ordination for you. But not under every
- 40:06condition. There is a certain level of
- 40:08understanding. For an example, if I be
- 40:11lifted up, so if you desire kingdom
- 40:13influence, you must learn the dynamics
- 40:16of death to the flesh. If you don't KNOW
- 40:19HOW TO DIE TO THE FLESH, YOU CANNOT BE
- 40:21trusted with the influence of the
- 40:23kingdom.
- 40:25Are we learning?
- 40:28So the Bible calls this body of
- 40:31knowledge, it calls them marvelous
- 40:34light. [music]
- 40:35And it says it is upon transacting this
- 40:38knowledge that the believer's dominion
- 40:41is established in experience. So when
- 40:43you find certain PEOPLE AS THOUGH GOD
- 40:47ISOLATED them and decided to magnify
- 40:50himself in THEIR LIVES, IT'S NOT AS
- 40:52THOUGH HE LOVES THEM MORE THAN OTHERS.
- 40:54THE BIBLE IS CLEAR AS TO THE FACT that
- 40:56the same Lord is rich onto all. He does
- 41:00not love Nathaniel Basi and he does not
- 41:03love Dr. Anddio Squay MORE THAN HE LOVES
- 41:06YOU. NO, THE SAME LORD IS RICH unto all.
- 41:09But our possibilities are not just
- 41:11predicated on the love of God. They are
- 41:13predicated upon the truth we know and
- 41:16the truth we engage.
- 41:20The truth we know, the truth we
- 41:22understand and the truth we engage.
- 41:25Hallelujah.
- 41:28So you can find okay let me give you
- 41:30this analogy.
- 41:32How many of you know let me work with
- 41:34your mind for sake of time. I can have
- 41:36brother A and brother B and all of them.
- 41:39Let's use iPhone. What's the latest? I
- 41:40have no idea. What's the latest iPhone?
- 41:44>> Huh? iPhone.
- 41:45>> 18. So, let's use 18. So, this gentleman
- 41:48over here has iPhone 18 original.
- 41:51Another gentleman, brother B, has iPhone
- 41:5418 original. Now, watch this. Did you
- 41:56know that if you watch these both
- 41:58brothers navigating their phones, you
- 42:01would almost think the phone of another
- 42:03were fake relative to the excellency of
- 42:05the navigation of the other because he
- 42:07downloaded certain apps that did not
- 42:10come by default. SO YOU BUY THE PHONE,
- 42:13YOU BRING IT OUT OF THE CASE, THEN IT
- 42:16BEGINS to beep. THERE ARE CERTAIN APPS
- 42:18that you need to make THAT PHONE
- 42:20EFFICIENT. WHETHER you download the APPS
- 42:23OR NOT DOES NOT MAKE YOUR PHONE fake but
- 42:26it will stop its efficiency.
- 42:29SO YOU FIND OUT THAT SOMEONE either
- 42:32through the beeping of the phone or
- 42:34through learning has been able TO FIND
- 42:37CERTAIN APPS THAT HE can put in his
- 42:39phone. AND WHEN YOU FIND HIM NAVIGATING
- 42:41THE SAME IPHONE 18, YOU ARE WONDERING IS
- 42:45MINE DIFFERENT FROM YOURS? THAT IPHONE
- 42:47is like your life is THE SAME ETERNAL
- 42:49LIFE. BUT SOMEONE HAS PRESSED TO
- 42:52DOWNLOAD WISDOM. SOMEONE HAS PRESSED TO
- 42:54download favor. Your life becomes
- 42:56remarkably efficient. [music]
- 42:59Is someone learning?
- 43:12I was so inspired when I listened to
- 43:14Pasad's story. Did you hear him through
- 43:17his stories? You would see an interplay
- 43:21of the principles of the kingdom. ALBEIT
- 43:24YOU SEE THE GRACE AND the mercy of God.
- 43:26But within the jurisdiction of the grace
- 43:28and the mercy of God, you see the
- 43:30workings of certain principles. The time
- 43:33invested in prayer, the time invested in
- 43:35consecration, the time invested in
- 43:37learning. DID YOU HEAR HIM SAY HE
- 43:39INVESTED 9 hours? DID YOU NOT KNOW that
- 43:42diligence is a mystery of the kingdom?
- 43:44It produces a certain kind of believer.
- 43:47It says, "A diligent hand shall be made
- 43:50fat." Did it IS IT NOT IN YOUR Bible
- 43:53that um what was the scripture? Stand
- 43:55before kings. SEE THOU A MAN?
- 43:59>> DILIGENT in what?
- 44:03>> So someone cannot be studying his Bible,
- 44:06studying voraciously, learning, reading
- 44:09books,
- 44:11investing. Whereas another believer is
- 44:14just freelancing his spiritual
- 44:15knowledge. THE SAME LORD IS RICH ONTO
- 44:17BOTH OF THEM. BUT YOUR OUTCOMES IN TERMS
- 44:20OF THE GLORY OF GOD manifested through
- 44:23you will not be the same because the
- 44:25foundations OF HIS THRONE IS MADE OF
- 44:27RIGHTEOUSNESS and justice.
- 44:32>> The Bible says as far as the earth
- 44:33remains listen tomorrow is not a wish
- 44:36tomorrow is a harvest.
- 44:39If you don't sow towards tomorrow so
- 44:42diligence so commitment. Are we
- 44:45together? taking advantage of the
- 44:46resources of God's mercy and grace to
- 44:49maximize your today for the sake of
- 44:51tomorrow, you might not walk in the
- 44:53glory of God.
- 44:55Many times believers like to give
- 44:57excuses and sometimes we think because
- 45:01God is sovereign with all due respect,
- 45:03we suddenly become irresponsible.
- 45:05Meaning God is if he wants to bless me,
- 45:08he has the power. He parted the Red Sea.
- 45:10And we use all those scriptures to
- 45:12excuse our commitment. It is the spirit
- 45:16and the bride that says come. THE SPIRIT
- 45:18CAN SAY COME. BUT THE BRIDE MUST AGREE
- 45:21and say I agree. The spirit and the
- 45:23bride say be healed. The spirit and the
- 45:26bride say a great tomorrow.
- 45:28As for the holy ghost is ALWAYS DESIROUS
- 45:31OF BLESSING US to see us manifest
- 45:33dominion. But the bride is not
- 45:35cooperating with the spirit.
- 45:38When I found this personally, I made up
- 45:42my mind that I will take advantage of
- 45:44the grace of God and I will engage and
- 45:47go for light and press for light and
- 45:51press for light and press FOR HIGHER
- 45:53LIGHT, FOR GREATER LIGHT. AND I LOOK at
- 45:56my life today and I can only say to God
- 45:58be the glory. It is the mercy of God.
- 46:01But I submit to you by the authority of
- 46:04scripture. This life you see was
- 46:06programmed Yes sir.
- 46:09>> Yes sir.
- 46:10>> Now it's an uncomfortable admission. You
- 46:13know sometimes humility is a wonderful
- 46:15virtue but it can stop you from telling
- 46:17the whole truth.
- 46:19>> And if you really want to help people
- 46:21it's sometimes an uncomfortable truth
- 46:23but it's good to say it. It was the
- 46:26mercy of God and the grace of God
- 46:28maximized not just grace available
- 46:31because grace can be abused.
- 46:35>> Who is learning?
- 46:36>> Yes sir. So the word for you tonight is
- 46:39that the glory of God being revealed in
- 46:41your life is not just tied to God's
- 46:43desire. He always desires it, but it's
- 46:46tied to light. Light. God is a God of
- 46:50patterns. Let me wrap up by saying this.
- 46:53God is a God of patterns. The meaning of
- 46:55that is that
- 46:59please look up. Every time God starts a
- 47:03process,
- 47:06he initiates the process and then he
- 47:10ties laws and principles around that
- 47:13process so that he does not repeat it
- 47:15again. The knowledge of the laws and the
- 47:18principles is what guarantee the
- 47:20continuity of that result. Did you
- 47:23understand that? So the Bible says God
- 47:26made as we know the first man at least
- 47:29as our dispensation interprets and first
- 47:32woman and did not have to mold them
- 47:35again because he programmed a law we
- 47:38call it reproduction. I hope you know
- 47:40until Adam and Eve came that was the
- 47:43first visible expression of spreading
- 47:46through reproduction. It was always
- 47:49through creation.
- 47:50Are we together
- 47:52>> now? So he programmed it such that even
- 47:57unbelievers
- 47:58can engage that law and that principle
- 48:01and then they procreate. Are we learning
- 48:04now? God gave us a functional mind and
- 48:09programmed a principle around that mind
- 48:11that your level of transformation can
- 48:14turn you and release literally a
- 48:17magnetic property within you that can
- 48:19attract possibilities in your life that
- 48:21are consistent with your thoughts
- 48:24superior or otherwise is a law.
- 48:27There are many OTHER SPIRITUAL LAWS THAT
- 48:30ALTOGETHER bring us into the experience
- 48:33of dominion. God is a God of patterns.
- 48:37Let me show you one scripture. We're
- 48:39about to pray. Leviticus chapter 9 and
- 48:41verse 6. When we find it, I request that
- 48:43we read in concert. Leviticus chapter 9
- 48:46and verse 6. Are you ready? One, two,
- 48:49go.
- 48:51>> Uhhuh.
- 48:59One more time.
- 49:02>> Uhhuh.
- 49:06>> And after you do it, what's the result?
- 49:11SO IF THE GLORY OF THE LORD does not
- 49:13appear unto you,
- 49:15he said whatever he tells you to do, you
- 49:19want water to turn to wine, it is a
- 49:21possibility, but not under every
- 49:23condition. And Mary told them the secret
- 49:26is that the Savior is already there. His
- 49:28presence is there, but there are things
- 49:30he demands that you do. As soon as they
- 49:33were prepared to do, the instruction
- 49:35came. Fill six spots. Fetch it without
- 49:39verifying
- 49:42>> and take it to the ruler. Risk your life
- 49:45that much as proof that you trust me.
- 49:48The Bible said as they went, not as they
- 49:51tasted. As they went, fearful but
- 49:54obedient. As they went, suddenly water
- 49:57was turned to wine. When you read John
- 50:00chapter 2 where we got that portion of
- 50:02scripture verse 10 and 11 10 the Bible
- 50:05says this beginning of miracles
- 50:09verse 11 this beginning of miracles did
- 50:13Jesus in Canaa of Galilee and
- 50:16[clears throat] what did he do? He
- 50:17manifested
- 50:20he manifested his glory
- 50:23once there was an adherence to patterns.
- 50:27Now patterns forerrun the glory of God.
- 50:31Every time you see the glory of God
- 50:33revealed in the life of a pastor, an
- 50:36individual, it is because certain
- 50:38patterns have been kept. Please look up.
- 50:40There is a pattern. And by pattern, I
- 50:43mean a spiritual precept, a mystery of
- 50:46the kingdom, spiritual principles. So
- 50:49when you find a believer prosper
- 50:52financially with integrity, it is
- 50:54BECAUSE THE GLORY THAT you now call
- 50:56wealth has answered to adherence of that
- 51:00pattern. Are we learning now? When you
- 51:02find a church like the Summit Bible
- 51:04Church flourishing and increasing,
- 51:08pastor will tell you it is the mercy of
- 51:10God. But when you say pastor tell me the
- 51:12truth sincerely all be it by grace he
- 51:14will begin to teach you that this result
- 51:17you see is a composite of anointing
- 51:20leadership administration excellence
- 51:22CHARACTER TRACK RECORD ALL OF THESE
- 51:25TOGETHER THEY ARE THE PATTERNS connected
- 51:28to this [music] glory so when YOU WANT
- 51:30TO SEE THE GLORY YOU DON'T WISH IT YOU
- 51:32DON'T CLAIM IT YOU FIND the patterns
- 51:36because it is a PATTERN IT DOES NOT CARE
- 51:39WHO ENGAGES es it once you engage it in
- 51:42truth. How many of you know that this
- 51:46exact building can be replicated
- 51:48anywhere?
- 51:50>> Such that if you were blindfolded and
- 51:52you were carried there, you would think
- 51:54you were here. The master building
- 51:57because of the plan, the architecture,
- 51:59that's called the pattern. And once you
- 52:02give that TO ANY SERIOUS ARCHITECT, HE
- 52:05DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO BE HERE to see it
- 52:07physically. He will replicate the result
- 52:09verbatim. It is the presence of patterns
- 52:13that makes God a just God.
- 52:17SO THAT WHEN YOU COMPLAIN AND SAY GOD
- 52:19BUT I I DID NOT CHOOSE where I came
- 52:22from. He says you can choose where you
- 52:24go to because THERE IS A PATTERN that
- 52:27can correct that anomaly. Who is
- 52:29learning now?
- 52:34>> Patterns.
- 52:36So every time you find the glory of God
- 52:38revealed. Now watch this. He's playing
- 52:40keyboard for me. Play anything, Choco.
- 52:42Just anything. Just whatever. [music]
- 52:45Just play something. Play your bass.
- 52:47Play your drums. You guys just play
- 52:49anything. Now listen to what is going on
- 52:52here,
- 52:56[music] my friend. Stand up. The bases.
- 53:00Play anything. Real professional play.
- 53:02Just you have one minute. Go ahead.
- 53:05[music]
- 53:12Hold on. Hold on. That sound is the
- 53:16glory that follows that level of
- 53:19professionalism.
- 53:21As you listen to it, YOU'RE HEARING HIM
- 53:23PLAY VERY EFFORTLESSLY. HE, THIS WAS NOT
- 53:26PREMEDITATED. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW HE
- 53:29was not born that way?
- 53:31THE SAME THING HE'S PLAYING, I CAN PLAY
- 53:33TOO. BUT AS ANOINTED AS I AM BECAUSE I
- 53:36LACK THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE pattern to
- 53:39produce that sound,
- 53:42YOU CAN GIVE ME THE GIFT and the gift
- 53:45will be useless to me because THE GIFT,
- 53:48THE GLORY OF THAT GIFT IS RELEASED when
- 53:51the pattern is understood. Is somebody
- 53:54learning?
- 53:56We're about to pray. Play it again one
- 53:58more time. [music]
- 54:07>> [music]
- 54:07>> Now watch this.
- 54:10Did you know just for this someone can
- 54:12give this gentleman a seed? Just for
- 54:15this someone can invite him somewhere.
- 54:17LITERALLY IF HE FINDS ANOTHER PATTERN
- 54:21the law of endorsement it can increase
- 54:23his ministry and that's if he can start
- 54:25going
- 54:26because you see endorsement is who is
- 54:29standing by you not who you are standing
- 54:31by. NO WHO YOU ARE STANDING by is
- 54:34alignment but who is standing by you is
- 54:37endorsement. [music]
- 54:38Listen you can run to a rich man and
- 54:40STAND BY HIM THAT'S NOT ENDORSEMENT. He
- 54:43did not COME YOU WENT. SO you can meet
- 54:46God but went home.
- 54:55>> You have to pray.
- 55:00When you go to God,
- 55:05let me walk with time. Now watch this.
- 55:09Believers, please listen to this. How
- 55:12many of you are into fashion
- 55:13professionally? professionally you are
- 55:16not trying you are not learning you've
- 55:17gone far commendably
- 55:20how many of you know that if I ask you
- 55:23if you are a professional and I say
- 55:25dress pastor and his wife for one year
- 55:28you will not be afraid because you have
- 55:30studied enough and with confidence you
- 55:34can dress pastor
- 55:36how many of you are cooks or chefs you
- 55:39are into food restaurant whatever you
- 55:41are confident you know what you can do
- 55:44No fear. Let me see your hand. I'm not
- 55:46going to embarrass you. Don't worry.
- 55:48Now listen. Are you saying that some of
- 55:51you could not raise your hand? Does it
- 55:53really mean you don't cook at home?
- 55:56But what it means is that we can't bring
- 55:58you before the globe and say cook. Uh
- 56:01and the difference is that there is
- 56:03still uncertainty in your patterns. What
- 56:07is the difference between the one
- 56:08cooking at home and a chef? He has been
- 56:10so trained. He can stand before the
- 56:12world and say, "Watch me."
- 56:16>> He has taken away failure through
- 56:18mastery.
- 56:20>> Are we learning now?
- 56:22>> Believers, if we get this, we know that
- 56:25God has given us the power in Christ to
- 56:28define and redefine our possibilities.
- 56:34So, let me borrow Hallelujah challenge
- 56:36from Pastor Nathaniel. It is the grace
- 56:39of God and it is the mercy of God. But
- 56:41brothers and sisters, by reason of
- 56:43proximity of friendship, I can tell you
- 56:46by the mercy of God, I can describe the
- 56:49dynamics. I know the things that were
- 56:51engaged. So we took advantage of the
- 56:53grace of God and there are things that
- 56:55were put in place. Listen, when you
- 56:58build by patterns, you don't fear
- 57:00storms.
- 57:03You don't fear storms because it is
- 57:07formidable.
- 57:09Formidable.
- 57:11Hallelujah.
- 57:13Do you really believe that your pastor
- 57:17can replicate [music] the Summit Bible
- 57:19Church again?
- 57:21>> Do you believe it? Do you honestly
- 57:23believe it?
- 57:24>> The question is why?
- 57:28>> Patterns. Am I right? The excellence in
- 57:31this church is a pattern. Is that true?
- 57:33It can be replicated any other branch of
- 57:36summit. Am I right on that pattern? When
- 57:39you go to Lagos or Ghana or UK or the
- 57:45US, when you see KFC or Chickfield A or
- 57:49any of these, what do you see? PATTERNS.
- 57:52NOW, HOW MANY of you know that SOME OF
- 57:53THE STAFF have never met themselves yet
- 57:55their results are the same? Patterns.
- 57:58Look at this. a medical doctor from
- 58:00Abadubel University, another medical
- 58:03doctor from Unilac, another medical
- 58:06doctor from say um some university in
- 58:09the north. Three of them can meet as
- 58:11consultants for the first time in the
- 58:14surgery room and not doubt themselves.
- 58:17>> What is the secret? Not personality
- 58:21patterns. If you say you were a
- 58:23consultant indeed accredited by the
- 58:26medical council, then I trust you.
- 58:28patterns.
- 58:33>> So
- 58:35many believers want to see the glory of
- 58:37God,
- 58:39but we are not contending for the light
- 58:41and the patterns connected to that
- 58:43glory. Prosperity is a dimension of
- 58:47God's glory. There is a pattern that
- 58:50connects to it. Longevity is an
- 58:53expression of God's glory. There is a
- 58:55pattern connected to it. Influence is an
- 58:59expression of God's glory. There is a
- 59:01pattern connected to it. Are we
- 59:03learning? Favor is an expression of
- 59:06God's glory. There is a pattern
- 59:08connected to it.
- 59:11To be desired by a generation is an
- 59:14expression of God's glory, but there is
- 59:16a pattern connected [music] to it.
- 59:19Prospering in Abuja is an expression of
- 59:22God's glory. And believe me, there
- 59:25[music] is a pattern connected to it
- 59:27>> because the person giving to another
- 59:30person has relatives who have been
- 59:32begging him and he will not give them.
- 59:34>> So he's a giver but not to everybody.
- 59:36Amen.
- 59:42>> My assignment is to challenge you that
- 59:44if it is the glory of God you desire to
- 59:46see in your life, then your assignment
- 59:49is to begin to to obtain grace from God
- 59:54and begin to study the patterns. Write a
- 59:57list of the areas where the glory of God
- 1:00:00is yet to manifest. [music]
- 1:00:02Knowing that in Christ all things are
- 1:00:04yours. But that ALL THINGS ARE YOURS
- 1:00:07DOES NOT MEAN ALL THINGS will manifest
- 1:00:08in experience as yours. God still
- 1:00:12remains faithful whether your life
- 1:00:14captures the experience of those truths
- 1:00:15or not. But the way to get them working
- 1:00:18is that you must become a diligent
- 1:00:20[music] student and you must begin to
- 1:00:23study the patterns connected to the
- 1:00:26dimensions of glory that you desire. Did
- 1:00:28you get this? Now, if you get this, then
- 1:00:30you have gotten my message.
- 1:00:33Patterns. Patterns. I told my friend,
- 1:00:37you're going to do it for us one more
- 1:00:38time before we pray. Watch this
- 1:00:40everybody. Remember, he did it the other
- 1:00:42time. Can he do it again? We don't know.
- 1:00:45But go ahead and do it. So, here's your
- 1:00:47chance one last time. [music]
- 1:00:55>> [singing]
- 1:00:57[music]
- 1:01:02[music]
- 1:01:05>> Thank you.
- 1:01:08patterns.
- 1:01:10[applause]
- 1:01:13Now watch this. Imagine how unwise it is
- 1:01:17to just kneel down and tell him, "Give
- 1:01:20me a double portion."
- 1:01:21>> Now hold on. There is a grace behind
- 1:01:23that. But the value of that grace is
- 1:01:27that the grace comes upon a pre a heart
- 1:01:30that is prepared.
- 1:01:31>> You see the value of the anointing that
- 1:01:33it is that it comes upon a mind [music]
- 1:01:35that has gotten the requisite level of
- 1:01:37knowledge.
- 1:01:40This man can give me the gift of this
- 1:01:42base. I can go home with it. [music] You
- 1:01:45will expect me to produce his kind of
- 1:01:47result and then I keep disappointing
- 1:01:49you. How many of you know that time will
- 1:01:51not make me a master? But if I call him
- 1:01:54and I say my brother, this dimension of
- 1:01:57God's glory you have re revealed from
- 1:02:00this guitar, is it possible that I can
- 1:02:02make it my experience? What will be your
- 1:02:04answer? [music] Yes. The next question
- 1:02:07will not be thank you to walk away. It
- 1:02:10will be can you pass me through? Can I
- 1:02:13become a follower of them who through
- 1:02:15faith
- 1:02:16and patience have obtained?
- 1:02:21Not everybody is in darkness. Let me
- 1:02:23wrap up this way. Beloved brothers and
- 1:02:25sisters, by the mercy of God, there are
- 1:02:27people who have found light.
- 1:02:29>> They have found their way. Challenges
- 1:02:31are not a generic statement. There are
- 1:02:34people who have risen. They are they
- 1:02:36function from an altitude in the spirit
- 1:02:39where they do not mind the presence of
- 1:02:41mountains.
- 1:02:43The idea of mountains
- 1:02:45is only a problem if you are walking on
- 1:02:48foot or by road. But to the person who
- 1:02:51is flying 40,000 ft above sea level, a
- 1:02:56mountain can even be a beautiful view
- 1:02:58and he looks at the top of it while he
- 1:03:00flies OVER IT. BUT SOMEONE ELSE CAN BE
- 1:03:04TRAPPED RIGHT THERE. SO WHEN YOU SAY
- 1:03:06MOUNTAINS ARE STOPPING ME THERE ARE SOME
- 1:03:08PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND that
- 1:03:09language because growth transformation
- 1:03:13light are we together now
- 1:03:18let me request that we stand
- 1:03:33for someone you are stepping into a very
- 1:03:34defined ing moment.
- 1:03:38So my approach to the Christian faith is
- 1:03:41number one, I come to God in gratitude
- 1:03:44because in Christ all things that
- 1:03:47pertain to my destiny to its fullest,
- 1:03:49[music] it's been given to me. I don't
- 1:03:52ask if God has given. I know he's given.
- 1:03:55The assignment is not to make it happen.
- 1:03:57The assignment is to manifest it.
- 1:04:00Hallelujah. I know that God is true and
- 1:04:03every man a liar. The greatness, the
- 1:04:06power. Let me show you a scripture as we
- 1:04:07wrap up. First Chronicles chapter
- 1:04:1229, we'll read 11 and 12. It's a
- 1:04:15scripture that we've walked it through.
- 1:04:17It says, "Thine, oh Lord, is the
- 1:04:20greatness,
- 1:04:21is the power, is the glory, is the
- 1:04:26victory, is the majesty, for all that is
- 1:04:30in heaven and in the earth is thine.
- 1:04:33Thine is the kingdom, oh Lord, and thou
- 1:04:34art exalted above it all." Verse 12,
- 1:04:37[music] he said, "Both riches and honor
- 1:04:39come from you, and you reign over all."
- 1:04:42It says, "And it is in your hand and
- 1:04:44power and might. It is your hand to make
- 1:04:46great and to give strength to all. How
- 1:04:49does he make great? He shortens the
- 1:04:51distance between you and the knowledge
- 1:04:53of the pattern connected to that glory.
- 1:04:56Let me tell you how God helps men. The
- 1:04:58greatest way I know God helps men is to
- 1:05:01shorten the distance [music] between you
- 1:05:03and the knowledge, the light component
- 1:05:06that connects to the glory you seek to
- 1:05:08see manifest. And there are three ways
- 1:05:10he does that. Number one, the ministry
- 1:05:12of mercy. Number two, the ministry of
- 1:05:14the teaching priest. Number three, the
- 1:05:16ministry of the Holy Ghost. He reveals
- 1:05:19to you the things you should know
- 1:05:22that have freely given unto you. The
- 1:05:25Bible says those things have been
- 1:05:26revealed to us for our glory.
- 1:05:30Our glory. Revealed for our glory. Light
- 1:05:34comes for my glory. Light comes for my
- 1:05:37glory. Why do I know I cannot fail in
- 1:05:40life? For me, it's not just an empty
- 1:05:42talk. I cannot fail because one is a
- 1:05:45verdict from God [music] to me and I
- 1:05:46know God is true. But number two, by
- 1:05:49mercy, he has shown me the pattern. I
- 1:05:52know the pattern that leads to the glory
- 1:05:54of God, the dimension of the glory of
- 1:05:56God that I desire.
- 1:05:59For every farmer who farms under normal
- 1:06:02conditions, you will have a harvest. Is
- 1:06:04that true? That is the pattern connected
- 1:06:07to it.
- 1:06:08The Bible says, "Enter his gates with
- 1:06:10thanksgiving." It's a pattern. To his
- 1:06:13court with praise, it says, "Come before
- 1:06:15him with singing." It's a pattern. There
- 1:06:18is he that scatterth and yet increasth.
- 1:06:20There is he that withholdeth more than
- 1:06:22his meat and tends to penory. It's a
- 1:06:24pattern. [music]
- 1:06:26Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
- 1:06:28shall see God. What is the secret to
- 1:06:31encounters? Consecration.
- 1:06:33The pure in heart see God. It doesn't
- 1:06:35mean to go to heaven that he will reveal
- 1:06:37himself. [music]
- 1:06:38John 14:21, he that keepeth my commands,
- 1:06:41he it is that loveth me and I will love
- 1:06:43him. The father will love him and we
- 1:06:45will manifest ourselves to him. What is
- 1:06:48the secret to rising and coming before
- 1:06:50kings? [music] Diligence, competence.
- 1:06:52The Bible leaves you with an assurance
- 1:06:54that if you are competent, you will not
- 1:06:56stand with mean men. that the gift of a
- 1:07:00man I add that the gift discovered, the
- 1:07:03gift refined
- 1:07:05can bring you before Pharaoh and even
- 1:07:07make you the prime minister.
- 1:07:14So we are going to pray. The cry tonight
- 1:07:16is very simple. Lord, I contend for
- 1:07:19light.
- 1:07:21[snorts]
- 1:07:22[clears throat] Thank you for where you
- 1:07:23have brought me. Thank you for the
- 1:07:25exceeding great and precious promises
- 1:07:26that you have given me in Christ, but I
- 1:07:28cry for light. I cry for light. I've
- 1:07:32encompassed this mountain long enough. I
- 1:07:34cry for light. There are higher
- 1:07:36dimensions of wealth, of the anointing,
- 1:07:40of grace, of kingdom exploit.
- 1:07:44There is what I need to know. Please
- 1:07:47lift your voice and pray. Lift your
- 1:07:49voice and pray. There is what I need to
- 1:07:52know.
- 1:07:57There is what I need to know.
- 1:08:02[music]
- 1:08:05There is what I can know
- 1:08:08that sets me on cause [music]
- 1:08:19in [music] Jesus mighty name I pray.
- 1:08:22Remember the teaching we just heard the
- 1:08:24little charge on the value of praying in
- 1:08:27the spirit.
- 1:08:28>> How many of you know that just having
- 1:08:30that information alone,
- 1:08:33you can begin to negotiate your
- 1:08:34possibilities as you pray in the spirit.
- 1:08:37Because the Bible says as we pray that
- 1:08:40the Holy Ghost searches what is in the
- 1:08:41mind of the father.
- 1:08:44The Bible talks about the hidden wisdom
- 1:08:45[music] of God. The word hidden is the
- 1:08:47word classified.
- 1:08:49It doesn't mean it's hidden. is the word
- 1:08:51classified bespoke for your destiny.
- 1:08:54There are things that have been written
- 1:08:55in the library of the father's mind. But
- 1:08:57as you begin to pray in the spirit, the
- 1:08:59holy ghost on legal grounds can reach
- 1:09:02into the mind of the father and [music]
- 1:09:04take the file Joshua Selman 20:26. What
- 1:09:08is the strategy for your victory [music]
- 1:09:10and reveal it to you?
- 1:09:14Hallelujah.
- 1:09:16[music] Listen to me. The anointing does
- 1:09:18not just rest upon you because you want
- 1:09:20it. There is a pattern that brings the
- 1:09:22anointing. The pattern is found in Psalm
- 1:09:2589 and verse 20. I have found David,
- 1:09:29[music]
- 1:09:30my servant. The anointing does not come
- 1:09:34on those who want to use God. They come
- 1:09:36on those who have submitted. Listen, God
- 1:09:39can find David in 2021,
- 1:09:42but find his servant in 2026. [music]
- 1:09:47I have found Joshua Selman, but I'm
- 1:09:49still looking for my servant. [music] I
- 1:09:52found a businessman, but I'm still
- 1:09:54looking for my I found the one who can
- 1:09:57buy and sell, but that's not the one I
- 1:09:59want to anoint. I want the one who is my
- 1:10:02servant. [music]
- 1:10:04So, don't just say, "God, anoint me."
- 1:10:06Please help those under the anointing.
- 1:10:08Don't just say, "God, anoint me." Uh-uh.
- 1:10:11Your assignment is to [music] maintain
- 1:10:13that posture of a servant.
- 1:10:16A servant has lost the ability to say
- 1:10:19no.
- 1:10:21It is always yes Lord with my finances.
- 1:10:24Yes Lord with my time my energy [music]
- 1:10:27when God finds such a man he says with
- 1:10:29my holy oil will I anoint him. [music]
- 1:10:33Hallelujah. Now one prayer. I like you
- 1:10:36to open up your mouth and pray. I don't
- 1:10:38know what area of the glory of God you
- 1:10:40want to see manifest in your life. Some
- 1:10:42of you is your finances. Some of you is
- 1:10:44your health. Some of you is your
- 1:10:46destiny. In one minute can you pray
- 1:10:49[music] and say Lord reveal to me by
- 1:10:51your spirit. The patterns the body of
- 1:10:54light illumination that is connected to
- 1:10:57that dimension of your glory.
- 1:11:00Arise
- 1:11:02shine
- 1:11:05for your light is come. Arise shine for
- 1:11:09the patterns are now known. Arise,
- 1:11:13shine, because you have found the way of
- 1:11:15the spirit. [music]
- 1:11:27[music]
- 1:11:28Hallelujah.
- 1:11:30Praise God. Let me speak over your life.
- 1:11:33My time is up.
- 1:11:35Salvation belongs to the one who sits on
- 1:11:40the throne and unto the lamb. [singing]
- 1:11:45Salvation belongs to the one who sits on
- 1:11:50the throne and unto the lamb.
- 1:11:55>> [music]
- 1:11:55>> Salvation belongs to the one who sits on
- 1:12:00the throne and unto the lamb.
- 1:12:05Dominion [music]
- 1:12:06belongs to the one who sits on the
- 1:12:10throne and unto the lamb.
- 1:12:15My [music] worship belongs to the one
- 1:12:18who sits on the throne. [music]
- 1:12:25In the name that is above all names, I
- 1:12:28stand in faith with your pastor, the
- 1:12:29apostle, and the angel over this church.
- 1:12:33By mercy, I pray for you that in the
- 1:12:37name that is above all names, the grace
- 1:12:40that quickens,
- 1:12:42the grace that causes a man's
- 1:12:44understanding to be fruitful, the
- 1:12:46[music] grace that brings a man to be of
- 1:12:48quick understanding. I release that
- 1:12:50grace upon you now.
- 1:12:52capacity to comprehend the mysteries of
- 1:12:55the kingdom in the name [music] of
- 1:12:57Jesus. Receive that grace now. Receive
- 1:13:00that grace now. Receive that grace now.
- 1:13:04Receive that grace now. By the power of
- 1:13:06the Holy [music] Spirit, I activate your
- 1:13:09spirit, man. The eyes that see and the
- 1:13:12ears that hear, the hearts that
- 1:13:15comprehend, I impart [music] that grace
- 1:13:17upon you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:13:22Let light arise [music] from your
- 1:13:23spirit,
- 1:13:25the faculty of comprehension that you
- 1:13:28will know the mysteries of the kingdom.
- 1:13:30You will understand [music] the laws of
- 1:13:32the spirit. And in the name of Jesus
- 1:13:35Christ, you will engage those laws and
- 1:13:38birth the glory of God in your life in
- 1:13:39[music] experience in the name of Jesus.
- 1:13:45[music]
- 1:13:48Number two,
- 1:13:50every [music] time God sends us, he
- 1:13:53sends us with two things. My apologies,
- 1:13:56pastor. Just a minute and I'm done. Look
- 1:13:58at me, please. Whenever God sends a man,
- 1:14:02he sends you with a message and he sends
- 1:14:05you with a grace.
- 1:14:08Make sure you always receive two of
- 1:14:10them. You can receive the message
- 1:14:13and then ignore the grace. Or you can
- 1:14:15focus on the grace and not receive the
- 1:14:18message. What gives value to the grace
- 1:14:21is that there is [music] an
- 1:14:22understanding of the message.
- 1:14:24Hallelujah. The Bible says as you go
- 1:14:27preach saying. So it starts with saying
- 1:14:30then once there is a saying then the
- 1:14:32power of God is present.
- 1:14:35[music]
- 1:14:36saying
- 1:14:38saying you have heard the message but by
- 1:14:41the mercy of God I want to pray the
- 1:14:44grace on you listen to me our
- 1:14:47possibilities in the kingdom are defined
- 1:14:49by three things my God I sense the
- 1:14:51anointing [music] here number one they
- 1:14:53are defined by our encounters
- 1:14:55the God you know the God you have truly
- 1:14:59met is the God you reveal to the world
- 1:15:01I'm going to plead with pastor every
- 1:15:03time he's around we'll do this together
- 1:15:05Something heavy just in one minute is
- 1:15:08about to [music] rest on your destiny.
- 1:15:11I'm going to plead with him to come and
- 1:15:12blow to blow. He says, "I will reveal
- 1:15:16sayings upon the harp. There is as it
- 1:15:19were many voices and none of them are
- 1:15:21without signification. [music] I sense
- 1:15:23that someone you have come to the end of
- 1:15:25a season and it is time. I came in the
- 1:15:29spirit of a midwife
- 1:15:32joining hands with your pastor. Help
- 1:15:34that lady that there is a shift. You
- 1:15:37[music] you are stepping into another
- 1:15:39trajectory in the spirit. Listen to me.
- 1:15:43[music]
- 1:15:46HE TOLD SAUL THAT AS YOU MEET SAMUEL,
- 1:15:50three things will happen to you. Number
- 1:15:52one, the donkey that has been MISSING
- 1:15:55FOR NO MATTER HOW LONG BECAUSE YOU
- 1:15:57encounter the anointing UPON SAMUEL BY
- 1:16:00ITSELF, IT WILL BEGIN TO GO BACK HOME.
- 1:16:04Number two, YOU WILL MEET TWO MEN EACH
- 1:16:08HOLDING THREE LOAF OF BREAD.
- 1:16:11THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR
- 1:16:13BREAD, BUT BECAUSE of what is on you,
- 1:16:15the Bible says they will salute you and
- 1:16:18they will give to you [music]
- 1:16:19provision for the journey.
- 1:16:23Then number three, you will [music] COME
- 1:16:25INTO THE GARRISON OF THE PHILISTINES AND
- 1:16:28THE HAND OF THE LORD WILL COME UPON you
- 1:16:31and you will begin to prophesy. You will
- 1:16:34turn and become another man. We want to
- 1:16:37release his graces on you and I want you
- 1:16:39to receive it. Pray in the spirit for
- 1:16:42one minute. I [music] will just ask
- 1:16:43pastor NOW TO BLOW BY the spirit and let
- 1:16:46the wind of the Holy Ghost rest upon you
- 1:16:50like a hand resting upon her cheek.

- 1:24:30And please forgive me if I sound

- 1:24:38you see standing before you by mercy, I
- 1:24:42know what it means to be marvelously
- 1:24:43helped by God.
- 1:24:46And when God shows mercy like this, we
- 1:24:49don't go around bragging,
- 1:24:51but we go around also releasing that
- 1:24:54grace
- 1:24:55because he says when you are converted,
- 1:24:58strengthen your brethren. Don't leave
- 1:25:00them. When you are converted, when you
- 1:25:03are helped, when you have received
- 1:25:05mercy, strengthen your brethren.
- 1:25:09Let your strength not be a waste. Extend
- 1:25:12it to others.
- 1:25:14There are graces that distinguish us in
- 1:25:16this kingdom. One of it is the Esther
- 1:25:19anointing.
- 1:25:22The Bible says in Esther chapter 2 and
- 1:25:24verse1 15 it says and Esther please give
- 1:25:28it to us. Esther 2 and verse1 15 please

- 1:25:48When the town of Esther, the daughter of
- 1:25:50Abihi, the uncle of Modaki, who had
- 1:25:53taken her for his daughter, was come to
- 1:25:55go into the king to go into to see the
- 1:25:58king. [music] She required nothing but
- 1:26:00what Haggi the king's chamberling, the
- 1:26:02helper of the women, appointed." Please
- 1:26:04read the last sentence. One, two, go.
- 1:26:10>> Stop. In the eyes of how many?
- 1:26:13>> All that looked not all that wanted to
- 1:26:17bless her. Once you looked at Esther and
- 1:26:21you made eye contact, SOMETHING
- 1:26:25SHE DID NOT OBTAIN FAVOR in the eyes OF
- 1:26:28ALL WHO WANTED TO BLESS HER. NO,
- 1:26:31there was a grace on her. The moment you
- 1:26:34looked at her, something in you would
- 1:26:37not rest until you reached out to her.
- 1:26:41And you would think that grace only
- 1:26:42worked for Haggi. Verse 17, Esther
- 1:26:4521:17.
- 1:26:47217. Same scripture. [music] Esther
- 1:26:50chapter 2 and verse 17. Please read with
- 1:26:53me. 1 2 go.
- 1:26:58>> Stop there. That means before she came,
- 1:27:01there were already [music] orders in the
- 1:27:03list. But once Esther showed up, that
- 1:27:05looking still worked too. As soon as the
- 1:27:08king saw her, he said, "It doesn't
- 1:27:10matter who else was there." As soon as
- 1:27:13he saw her, she obtained favor [music]
- 1:27:17above what?
- 1:27:20>> In the sight, more than all the virgins.
- 1:27:23So he sets the royal apparel.
- 1:27:26Favor
- 1:27:27favor, sir. Favor.
- 1:27:31Isaac
- 1:27:34told his sons, he told Esau to go and
- 1:27:38make venison so that he will take and
- 1:27:40bless him. And Jacob used a crafty
- 1:27:44behavior in partnership with his mom.
- 1:27:46And they made venison from the back of
- 1:27:48the house and he wore a skin like that
- 1:27:52of Jacob and came to meet blind Isaac.
- 1:27:54Watch this. [music] And Isaac said, "How
- 1:27:56come you have got it quickly? Because by
- 1:28:00the natural course of things, you should
- 1:28:02not have returned with that venison by
- 1:28:04now.
- 1:28:05>> According to the natural law, the
- 1:28:08natural process, one year should not be
- 1:28:12you. You can't just build, buy a car, be
- 1:28:14establish. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
- 1:28:15No. No. No. No. No. No. Something must
- 1:28:17have happened. Isaac said, "You mean I
- 1:28:19sent you and YOU ARE BACK." EVEN THOUGH
- 1:28:21HE was lying, he revealed a principle.
- 1:28:24He said, "Because God has brought it to
- 1:28:26me.
- 1:28:30So how come your two months was like two
- 1:28:33years? He said because God I found favor
- 1:28:37with God and what others were looking
- 1:28:39for he brought it to me. In the name of
- 1:28:43Jesus Christ I stand in faith with your
- 1:28:47pastor
- 1:28:48and we decree and declare the Esther
- 1:28:52anointing.
- 1:28:53>> The grace that makes [music] for favor
- 1:28:56favor with men. favor with systems.
- 1:29:00Unusual kindness. Unusual access.
- 1:29:03Unusual acceptance. I say it again.
- 1:29:06Unusual kindness. Unusual access.
- 1:29:10Unusual acceptance. One more time.
- 1:29:13Unusual kindness. Unusual access.
- 1:29:16Unusual acceptance. Receive it in Jesus
- 1:29:19[music] name. Receive it in Jesus name.
- 1:29:24Hallelujah. [music] Praise the name of
- 1:29:26the Lord. Our time is up. You need
- 1:29:29Jesus. Let me just make the altar call.
- 1:29:34It's impossible to have a crowd of
- 1:29:37believers and people gathered in the
- 1:29:39name of the Lord without one person at
- 1:29:40least sent by God. The Bible says, "And
- 1:29:43the Lord added daily." It's my joy and
- 1:29:46my honor to join faith with Pasad and
- 1:29:50your dear pastor to lead someone, just
- 1:29:53one sincere person to this Jesus.
- 1:29:56The one who is the king of glory
- 1:30:00is the king of glory. Everything glory
- 1:30:04resides with him and it is of his
- 1:30:06fullness that he gives unto us lavishly
- 1:30:08grace upon grace. And you are in this
- 1:30:11place and you are saying apostle Dr.
- 1:30:13Andy personnat I really want to make it
- 1:30:16right with Jesus or you are rededicating
- 1:30:19your life to Jesus Christ. Is it all
- 1:30:21right if you just let me one minute of
- 1:30:23your attention and let me make a
- 1:30:26request. Listen. The Bible says for God
- 1:30:28so loved the world that he gave his only
- 1:30:31begotten son that whosoever
- 1:30:34believeth on him should not perish. It's
- 1:30:35a law but have life everlasting. It says
- 1:30:38for God did not send his son into the
- 1:30:40world to condemn the world but that the
- 1:30:42world through him might be saved. You
- 1:30:45are in this place and you are saying I I
- 1:30:47listen to all the preachers. It's been a
- 1:30:49wonderful time in this conference, but
- 1:30:51you know by the spirit that you make to
- 1:30:54make it right with Jesus. Without any
- 1:30:56delay, I'm going to count 1 to five. If
- 1:30:58it's all right, I'll request even if
- 1:31:00it's just one person to come and stand
- 1:31:02right in front of me here [music] as a
- 1:31:04sign of surrender. You are saying,
- 1:31:06"Apostle, I want to win that war of
- 1:31:08destiny once and for all." I'll count
- 1:31:10one to five. [music] Thank you. I see
- 1:31:12this dear lady coming. Who else is
- 1:31:14joining her, too?
