0:00 not carry the consciousness of certain things you will only be a victim your mind will be swinging from left to right one day i meditated on the scripture that says whatsoever he do it prospers now let me tell you that looks like a simple story oh yes whatsoever i do it prosper amen that no you have not gotten it you act on that thing it will never work for you he shall be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of waters one day is by 2 a .m in he shall be like a tree that is the morning this is you you are meditating on that thing whatsoever he do it prospers you look at your hands whatsoever he do it prospers whatsoever
0:50 he do it prospers it will make sense to you in a way that will annoy somebody close to you because they make sense to you in a way that will annoy some don't know what has entered you whatsoever he do it prospers from that day you will never fail in anything again because it has entered your consciousness this is what it means in ezekiel 2 and verse 2 and the spirit entered into me the spirit of any revelation if it has not entered you you will keep gyrating this is the problem with the body of christ you will keep gyrating this is the problem with the we shout over revelations that have not moved past the realm of knowledge into your consciousness indeed shall all the families of the earth be blessed i meditated on that scripture
1:40 and i came to a conclusion that i cannot be a cause to my world indeed shall the families of the earth be blessed where i come from not with shall the families of the earth be blessed where i come from notwithstanding is is a blessing that god gave to abraham and his seed and galatians 3 29 says and if ye be christ's then are ye abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise so he's talking about me i am a blessing if i come to your house i am a blessing some things must leave and some things must come if i shake hands with you it's not pride some things must leave and some things must come hands with you it's not pride some things must leave and if you listen to me some things must leave and some things must come it's a consciousness it's not about empty boasting you can be shouting
2:28 and the realm of the spirit will say jesus i know paul i know but who are you this is what great men like bishop oerico meditated upon and he said god told him he can't suit his ministrations and he said get down and make my god told him he can't suit his ministrations and he said people rich now that may a lot of people find it offensive that's why he didn't say to everybody he said it to the one who can believe him hallelujah this is what i believe this reading things randomly when the spirit of these reading things randomly when the spirit of revelation comes to you where you can stay on one scripture for one week it's not a competition
3:17 to finish the bible is that one scripture that has a treasure that defines the next 10 years of your life you stay there till the spirit of that word the lord is my shepherd i shall not want i shall he never said i shall not want money if all you are thinking about is money is a sign that you are thinking carnally i shall not want this is the realm of sufficiency i shall not want men i shall not want things i shall not want influence no this revelation damages insufficiency forever never will you be without help if god sends you to america you shall not want if he sends you
4:02 to europe you shall not want if he brings you to abuja you shall sends you to europe you shall not want you are crying simply because you do not know you are wanting even though you are reading the scripture it is not yet in your consciousness take it high for me we will pray until we are changed we will pray until we are changed We will pray until we are changed we are changed We will stay until we are changed
4:53 until we are changed listen can i tell you the truth there is nothing you can do with a man that has caught light beyond the book if it has entered that realm of consciousness only death can stop it from if it has entered that realm of consciousness happening it's a it's a realm where it is settled no matter what you say or do not say as far as that result happening is a realm listen this is a reality that both
5:40 science and religion tell you that controls manifestation the realm of consciousness listen let me tell you the truth still take it high for me there are things i believe i can never be a victim of till jesus comes and this is not empty talk i have stayed with scripture until that thing one of it is that i can never lack the help of men no no it's not because i'm anointed it's the revelation that brought that anointing this thing you see this grace god favor that we are shouting you read it you will never get it it that's
6:28 not how it works when god called me into ministry i took time to pray one of the things i covenanted with god with was that i did not want to manipulate god's people because of this money thing i saw sincere well -meaning people who love the lord but once you are pushed by the pressure of ministry you will do things you never plan doing but i know that i have to eat and the implication of ministry is that you will feed many people you'll be like father abraham having many children your own and the ones that are forced themselves to be your own and i said god i don't want to tell people lies i had great men like
7:15 bishop tell people lies wayne go great men like my dear revered mentor dr miles munro they talked about the potency of walking in the blessings of god while others were there arguing in pride with no result i said god you can't be lying please show me i confess my ignorance i have read this thing but it's not working there are human beings in the world i'm being in the world but nobody's looking my direction i don't need to go to a harbour list but nobody's looking my direction i don't need to go to a there is a way hi job said there is a path which no foul has seen that the whelps of the lion has not gotten there when i caught that revelation of i shall not want i said this is it and god is able to make all grace if you think what prosperous man is business get ready to suffer till jesus comes now i'm
8:04 not i'm not against those things don't get me wrong but first things first the realm of the spirit is what controls the physical realm but when you hold it there that's it you've held it you've held it it's true the same thing with the ministry of the spirit the anointing i saw great people that i admired walking in dimensions of the anointing and i said there has to be a way i got all the teachings and the materials i don't want to do it I got all the teachings and the materials. I don't want to do a ministry speaking to people and they are shouting Amen. Coming week after week, making sacrifices and then they don't testify. That is evil and is wicked. In fact, it's fraud. I said I don't want that kind of thing. Father, show me the secret to real power. Real,
8:53 genuine power. I have found David, my servant. ah so god can find men but until he finds his servant he will not anoint you god can find joshua selman but he's looking for his servant for as long as you are still joshua selman that oil will not come to your head until you become his servant the anointing is not for men of god the anointing is for servants genuine people who love jesus beyond their reputation who want to see him glorified you see
9:38 you know why sometimes you hear me tell these guys to play these things this is not it's not a movie one day i was meditating on scripture and the lord took me to the story of elijah he said bring the lord took me to the story of elisha he said bring me a mistral and while the mistral played he said the hand of the lord came upon him and he began to prophesy then he says i will reveal my dark sayings upon the heart it may not work for everyone but that is how light came to me i value divine presence when i meditated i valued divine presence when i meditated on the scripture moses said do not send us from here if your
10:28 presence i'm showing you how to manifest realities what provided what you are doing is just reading the bible to ease the guilt of feeling less spiritual you will never never produce anything potent he said if your presence will not go with us and then here's what he said, he said, my presence will go with you and I will give you rest. I said, that's the key to rest, the presence of God. I remember in 2005, I spent a major part of that year doing a research on Jewish worship and the mystery of God's presence. I wanted to know what was it about Jewish worship and God's presence. That's when you saw that I started falling in love with
11:15 all this kind of Paul. wilbur songs king of kings we hail you most high all these songs that came lay down by the spirit because i found that that there was a connection to these kinds of songs and the spirit of god and the shekinah of god listen you must move past the realm of just reading scripture and get it to your consciousness it will take time but allow the spirit of god move it and get it to your consciousness stay in your one room and read the scripture on how god brings men out the day enters your spirit you will know the devil will know everything around you will know and like a magnet it will start drawing from
12:02 anywhere on earth the men and the circumstances that must make that word become reality in your life i assure you on this listen hear me the day the power to prosper through meditation comes on you right where you are you know how and you know how explosions happen a nuclear bomb huh that's how it will from your place is like an explosion in your spirit it will gravitate it's like an explosion in your spirit it will gravitate everything that must make that everywhere revelation true in your life and it will bring it to your life it is true sometimes it's difficult to teach these things
12:49 because people mistaking it for pride but by the privilege of god's grace you see we have proven these things and we'll prove it again and again and again gain your consciousness the lord is my shepherd i shall not want it doesn't stop there but that is the springboard the lord not my ability the lord here's how many of us interpret it my brain is my shepherd i shall not want the lord
13:37 the journey to lasting wealth starts with the lord it does not ignore your mind it does not ignore your value but it is the lord because he must be alpha omega are we together sit down let me give you the third for someone let me give you a little assignment just lay your hand gently on your head i want you to think of one scripture by the spirit that you know there are many scattered in the bible but one bailout scripture that you need to meditate upon until light enters your spirit for some of you is thou
14:23 anointest my head thou anointest my ministry are you seeing that ministry anointed rising from where it is are you seeing yourself rising as a father of nations you may not be physically called abraham but ladies and gentlemen when what god told abraham enters you nothing will keep you down you just do what i'm asking you to do and you'll see a miracle that is happening to your spirit man. You're a businessman. Take away your mind from your brain and look unto Jesus. Some of you are in ministry, you have struggled and struggled. It's not an issue of struggling. There is a consciousness. For as long as there are 8
15:13 billion people on earth, everybody will not tell God no. he can fish help for you from everywhere there are some of you the revelation for you should be that god is the one who gives you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places i am the lord that teacheth thy hands to prosper you have to be taught a teacher thy hands to prosper you have to be taught no it's not your ability you are taught you just take a minute to meditate on this some of you is that meditation
15:59 that will cure you from causes forever raised up with him out of every tribe out of every tongue even the worship of the dead, yes, people were buried in my village but have been exalted, the dead yes exalted beyond every curse, exalted beyond every charm, any enchantment. For someone, the revelation for you is no weapon formed against you, formed in the secret, formed by the conspiracy of men, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper for another. surely they shall gather but because they are gathering of not of the lord they
16:44 will scatter as much as they have gathered they will come in one way and be dispersed in seven ways hallelujah in jesus name hear me psalm 119 from verse 97 to 99 let's hurry up psalm 119 97 to 99 hallelujah in jesus name meditation involves hearing meditation involves speaking meditation involves the power of your imagination all of them have to come into play
17:33 as you meditate oh how i love thy law he says they or it is my meditation how long the psalmist all the day my meditation verse 98 thou through your commandment has made me wiser than my enemies for they are ever with me last verse i have more understanding than my teachers verse i have more for your testimonies and my meditation the secret to my conviction my meditation he's saying or my persuasion is that i have meditated on that reality you see one of the ways you meditate
18:20 is to repeat thoughts again and again and again it's a practice till today till today i can play a teaching play a message play scriptures play verses again and again sometimes i make declarations myself and record it prophetic declarations myself and i put it on repeat while i sleep there are times i want to focus on just two verses i meditate on those two verses i first quote them and then make prophetic declarations by myself they're in my phone and i play it on repeat
19:09 whether i'm awake or sleeping sometimes i'm doing my study and they're playing the goal is not awareness i'm transporting it to a realm when it lands that realm i know that i'm ready for the next step when it lands i've shared with you my story when god moved us to abuja i was praying and trusting god for direction and god told me like he did abraham get the map of abuja get the map of nigeria get the map of africa get the map of the world and he says start praying with those maps so get the map of africa get the map every time i'm praying i will place those maps four of them i still have
19:57 them till today and lay my hands one day something happened to me i looked at the map of abuja and it became small very small the city just became it's like it just shrunk and it became small i knew a miracle had happened i knew koinonia was ready to start because that reality of territorial dominion for the sake of his majesty that's what happened hallelujah but every once in a while not every time i revisit those maps again and now that god is sending us to the nations i carry that map of
20:46 the world sometimes and i look at it and i look at the continents from the eyes of the creator not from the eyes of an inhabitant you can't see that far but when you stand with the creator's lens you will see that there is no nation you cannot conquer men like john nox saw this and they said god give me scotland not a community give me that territory listen when you do this you can see great things you can put your businesses and say by god's grace i will have a global business for the kingdom people will laugh at you it's not an attack it's a usual thing with men men are permitted to laugh until your result bail you out provided you have not produced result don't be angry that men laugh and mock mockers are a natural pathway to greatness if you don't
21:35 find them you're on the wrong path if you don't find them you understand their presence validates that you might be doing something right so you continue but when you emerge you get that thing to your consciousness you will marvel and wonder what happens to you hallelujah my dear friend pastor shola when his church got born to went for a conference in his church and pastor pojo said something just a and pastor poju said something just a brief session before i came up to preach and he said something within a few minutes but it was such a profound blessing he told the church then he said take away the memory from your mind of a bond church and see a great church that god is building as simple as that statement was i said this is it the
22:24 spirit of god quicken that statement while we look not at the things that are seen you have been seen what are the things that are seen you have been seeing your disappointment every time you look at your passport you remember the visa you didn't get you look at the situation and you see yourself as a beggar forever you see yourself as a weak man of god in competition with other men of god or getting angry that is the reason why it keeps you like that you need to wipe that vision out of your mind you must have control over your meditation finally brethren philippians chapter 4 i believe in verse 8 whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just
23:10 whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things are of good report if there be any virtue if there be any praise koinonia help me think on these things anything that is outside this list the bible is giving you an advice that meditating on them is a risk to your destiny number three manifesting spiritual realities can we continue i want you to listen to point number three very carefully mix the truth you know with faith Mix the truth you know with faith. Hebrews 4 and verse 2. Mix the truth you have
24:00 found that has entered into your consciousness. Mix it with faith. For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them. But the word preached did not profit them. what preached did not profit them not being mixed with faith what does it mean to mix combine your meditation with faith what is faith your obedience your actions of obedience obedience to the conditions that connect to the promise every speaking of god i have taught you here has conditions connected to it listen carefully i've taught you here has conditions connected to it listen carefully the profit point of your christian
24:48 adventure is when you find the truth meditate to create conviction and then you engage you mix with obedience faith most people do not obey scripture they want the results but they are not willing to obey to obey means you have to embrace the spirit of wisdom what does the bible say you should do that connects to the promise you are looking for instance the bible talks about laziness and begging how that both of them are related so when you meditate on the fact that the bible says a diligent hand shall be made fat is that true what is
25:37 your point of obedience now whatsoever your hand find it to do what is your point of obedience now what huh that is in righteousness you do as unto god so you can go and get the job even though it's just 40 000 or 50 000 you are obeying you are working in keeping with the law of diligence that there is a relationship between increase and diligence there is he that scattereth and yet increases there is he that withholdeth more than his meat increases there is he that withhold and tends to poverty okay what then is the action points there that means i will give not out of compulsion or manipulation but with the revelation that number one i love jesus but that the law of
26:23 increase is connected to giving and then you do so and it works for you that's why i said obedience requires not just zeal but the spirit of wisdom you need to know that's why i said obedience requires not just what to do master we have told all night there are many many people who are found wanting in the place of obedience is why they do not see promises manifest let me tell you the truth as much as i sympathize with the many things happening around our nation there are people even if dollar were one naira to one dollar they will still be poor because their problem is not nigeria nor whatever government is in power i'm not a politician
27:09 there is an intrinsic determination to remain lazy huh jesus said the poor you always have with you is your own is your own responsibility to exempt yourself there are people who are very lazy there are others whose energy is not coordinated with wisdom so there is blind dissipation of energy that is not constructive this is what we call productivity channeling your energy with intelligence so that you produce specific outcomes you don't waste energy and resources are we together yes this can be true for ministry as a man of god you history as a man of god you cannot sit down lazing around being everywhere talking gossiping cannot sit down lazy in a row jumping from pillar to post and you want
27:58 god to trust you with the destinies of many you don't sit down to pray you don't sit down to learn you don't open up your heart to grow god is not a scammer he's not a fraudster he's in a business of using serious people not just available people it's wonderful to be available but you must also be usable are we learning now so most of us have found one thing someone after this meeting you need to get angry and tell yourself this week i must start something if a job does not come by the spirit of grace i will read a book i will watch something profitable online i will get up and go and look for there's a land that my brother has i will start farming this week let me farm and fail no
28:47 problem at the point of obedience that's when the miracle comes he told the 10 lepers go and show yourself to the priest the bible says as they went say as they went one more time say as they went the miracle happens at the point of obedience not before obedience maybe there are people here god has spoken to to sow certain seeds according to the revelation and isaac sowed in that land in the time of famine and you are there giving revelation and isaac sowed in that land in the time of famine flamsy excuses time will pass the famine will finish and you remain broke when god put it in my heart to do some of the things we are doing now i became excited because one i love jesus sincerely two i love you with all my heart three i love myself with all my heart you see that
29:36 that in my obedience is my rising i don't rise because i'm a man of god i rise because i'm a practitioner of the truth i rise because of god's word are we learning obedience obedience obedience provided you camp around disobedience i guarantee you under god there are certain realities you will never see manifest in your life you can do high service but eventually your life will show that god has marked your script and he's found you wanting are we learning now obedience for some of you your your point of obedience can be to obtain the
30:23 grace to start being diligent in consistent fervent prayer you are a man of god you are trusting god for increase go back and settle down some of you you are leaders that god has called he's shown you that you are going to be a global leader with the level of intellectual deficiency you have it will be a risk for god to trust you at certain heights therefore increase your capacity go and borrow vessels if it means going to get certain certifications to add to your pedigree your qualification to give you that edge with respect to what he's called you go for it lazy in around what he's called you go for it lazing around and envying people in anger will not solve your problem are we together getting angry at another man's farm will
31:11 not make your farm suddenly become green you will sit down there while weed is growing on your own farm as you are pointing fingers on people who are plowing their farms with diligence i don't like this family i'm sure that they met witches and wizards to rise the man returns late in the night finds you that they met witches and wizards to rise sleeping wakes up early in the morning you are still sleeping returns in the afternoon finds you gossiping and what a witch where is our guy he's traveled where did he go to he went for a seminar somewhere as a director of a company yes sir and you sit down there playing something in the afternoon, sitting in the sun, arguing about Nigeria, arguing about Africa, and
32:01 wondering why your store is empty. Next time you say, I will never be poor, the meaning of that is that I'm determined to do what will make me never to be poor. If you don't finish that statement, you lied. Are we together? Father, praise the name of the Lord, faith, I release the grace for obedience upon you. Praise the name of the Lord. Shout a believing Amen. The grace to walk in keeping with the truths that commit God to perform on your behalf, may that grace be released upon you. If it is the giving grace, may it be released upon you. If it is the praying grace, may it be released upon
32:48 you. in grace may be released upon you if is the fasting grace may be released upon you if is the grace for diligence may be released upon you if is the grace for value and productivity may be released upon you Spirit of Wisdom Oh, rest on me
33:39 Spirit of Wisdom let me give you an advice it's a loving advice stop complaining about what is not working bend your head down obtain grace from god and start exempting yourself through obedience let me speak to every young man here complaining about nigeria and joining in all kinds of profitless debates will not define your reality no we don't shy away from what is happening but let me challenge every responsible person in this ministry from tomorrow monday make up your mind i'm not complaining again if you don't know what to do wake up and listen to all my teachings on productivity start from there i
34:27 shall not want listen to it the power of productivity listen to it get walking and when people want to distract you and eat up your productivity gently tell them sorry that's all right we'll talk about it when i have a bit of free time ah today is monday and you are busy already tell them i came to church and i received an apostolic a priestly a fatherly counsel that complaining does not increase it only brings people down are we together now you settle down and begin to work out your salvation with fear and trembling you settle down and begin to work out your salvation lord i came from a family struggling i make up my mind by grace that things will begin to change now some
35:14 of you may need to go somewhere and say you know what bring me as an apprentice in this company i won't receive salary but i will receive wisdom i am tired of laziness and they say really by the third day with favor on your life that you're about to receive you'll be surprised what will happen god will bring somebody there who will say i'm looking for a well -behaved gentleman and the director will say everybody is busy only one guy who does not collect salary follow that white man and that's the end of it god begins to lift you i forbid you from being lazy shout amen listen anything you are doing now that you cannot give your all to stop it immediately i don't care what it is anything you are doing with part -time seriousness
36:01 live it immediately look for what is worth giving your all are we together now you will never find me putting my hands in many things because i commit my all in it i rather do only two things in my life and plunge myself if i perish i perish mentality is the mentality of victors are we together you are in a part club there you have never attended the membership meeting you are causing trouble for the people you are a part worker in church you are not serious in your office you are a ghost worker in the house of god you don't come at home you are not a serious husband or a serious wife or a serious child so part part commitment i rebuke that spirit
36:47 now the bible says they followed him wholly there must be as they followed him wholly there must be something in your life that is worth the investment of your all anything you have to give only part of you to is not worth it it's not worth it it's not worth it when people bring visions for me to lay my hands on i ask them can you do this for the rest of your life if they say no this is just for a while i tell them okay while you are doing this look for what is worth the commitment of your life and also be building it. Nothing wrong in doing things part way, but if that is all you do, you'll be disappointed. When I got into ministry, I knew that I would serve God till the day I see his face. There's no plan B. That bridge was burnt by myself.
37:41 Show me a man that believes in what you are doing and you can push your all in it i show you the person who frustrate life and you can push your all in it. I show you the... satan forever till you emerge are we together there are footballers who play football as a ministry they train they give their best there are those who are just looking for money nobody invites them because their passion betrays them there are business people who are out to add value there's people who are out to add value before profit they give their best even when the business before profit is not profitable they continue because what drove them was not just profit it was impact so eventually god rewards them but there are others who from day one
38:27 they are looking for money so they compromise even at the detriment of their own integrity provided money will come there are people today who can do anything that you know provided it will be today who can do anything that you know provided it will bring money anything no you cannot live like that there are people who would do anything to make ministry work anything and when i say anything let's hurry up number four what is the fourth key pay attention to this one i sense that there will be a steering in the
39:14 spirit as i teach on this fourth one are you ready the fourth key to manifesting spiritual realities engage in spiritual warfare engage in spiritual warfare you will never manifest anything from the spirit that carries weight without engaging in spiritual warfare what is spiritual warfare establishing victory over spirits write it down please establishing victory over spirits and conditions that fights the manifestation of the word in your life establishing victory over spirits and three over spirits and over conditions
40:03 that fights the manifestation of the word in your life means in your ministry in your home in your business in your sphere of influence first corinthians 16 9 spiritual warfare my god my dear people believe this believe this there is a warfare dimension to transporting realities from the spirit to your realm for a great door let's read together one to read for a great door an effectual is opened unto me and there are many adversaries i've taught you here for every door that is to be open there are
40:49 adversaries there are adversaries there are adversaries 1st Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 18 1st Thessalonians 2 and verse 18 engage in spiritual warfare Paul is speaking and he says wherefore we would have come unto you even I Paul once and again I tried and tried and tried but Satan himself not a demon spirit hindered us self not a demon spirit hindered us satan still finds the manifestation listen all unclean spirits are stubborn spirits all all demonic unclean spirits
41:35 are stubborn spirits meaning just because the word says they should obey does not mean they will obey the same way the executive arm of a government they pass a decree but it does not mean defaulters will obey they are aware that is the government they pass a decree but it does not mean reason why law enforcement agents are released the the basis for the function of law enforcement agents is what the executive have passed is that true or legislature whatever it is and then when it is passed they now catch you wanting and the basis of their punishing you is to let you know you have defaulted an executive order somewhere for instance stay at home for sanitation
42:22 if you default and they catch you they will tell you you are aware are you aware yes sir if you are fortunate they pardon you if you are not they will find you and you will go to jail that's how it is when god says you are a blessing satan says what did he say no we'll fight it they first come to you to find out whether will fight it they first come to you to find out whether you are aware and you believe then they find out whether it has become a reality in your consciousness then they find out whether you have obtained the grace to obey if there is no point they will attack you directly for no reason the reason why satan attacks primarily is because he's antichrist and he's a thief that comes to steal to kill
43:09 and to destroy there's no point stealing killing and destruction steal to kill and to destroy there's no until there is something to steal something to kill and something to destroy let me tell you the truth the kind of warfare that you have to fight to beg prophecy to your life it will take stamina in the spirit hallelujah it is the reason why you see us pray it is the reason why you see us engage behind the physical engage manifestations that you see ladies and gentlemen look at me do you know the warfare that satan puts up just to get you to come here to hear what you are hearing now you think the devil will leave you to come to your house just like that
43:55 but thank god for men and women who understand the art of the altar praying and saying lord everyone who should come and hear this altar praying and say lord everyone who should come and hear this word they will come by the spirit so even when your car does not work just when you are getting offended your neighbor says i'm coming for koinonia today let's go there's no excuse it's not a coincidence it was engineered by priesthood say spiritual warfare a family that does not pray will become a victim of satan a couple that don't pray will be a victim of satan a mother that does not pray will have her children turn into armed robbers and all kinds of people a father that does not pray is like a man who opens
44:41 his gate and say if you are a thief just come in you are welcome to this house because if your house is not a house of prayer i have taught you it becomes a den of robbers a believer who does not pray among many other disadvantages will become a victim of the arrows that disadvantages will become a victim of the arrows that fly by day the noise some that fly by day pestilences the destructions that waste in noonday someone shout mine of me let the devil hear you oh as the arrows fly from wherever you know there there are all kinds of missile technologies today that the army uses that sometimes when you fire a rocket against the nation as they detect it they counter it immediately it's been programmed it will explode that thing in the air there and then fire another rocket following the trajectory where that thing came from come on
45:31 now to backfire back to the place as i said this thing it just moves something in my spirit back to where it came from any man that programs anything against your life in the name that is above all names he returns back to that devil this night he returns back to that devil's devil this night he returns back to that devil that night this concept of things backfiring happens oh ask her man her man dug a pit he had signs Mordecai this how this guy will be hung there i wonder how he felt when it was his time to hang the bible says now the lord of peace himself is that in your bible that he will give
46:19 you peace always and by all means that means anybody that makes himself the troubler of your destiny may the god of vengeance arise over them in this season anybody that has vowed that provided he's alive your family will not laugh your family will not smile i say it again by the god who sent me let the sword of vengeance descend upon them this week descend upon them this week hallelujah i was once told the story of a young lady true story i don't
47:06 know i think it happened i hope i get the whole story it happened because of jealousy and even because of jealousy and envy i think maybe some woman i was told stamped her feet and beat envy i think maybe some her chest in the front of the lady and said provided she's alive that girl will not go forward it will only work if you have not met power did you hear what i said i believe in power i really believe in power we are wasting the time of god's people without power that coalition from anywhere while they make those enchantments while you are sleeping this
47:51 family should not rise this family should not rise from nowhere like thunder from heaven a power greater than all powers descends from the realm of the spirit with a manifestation in the sends from the realm of the spirit with a manifestation in the physical realm and will scatter every protein of darkness hallelujah hello god's people welcome back to priestly nation i'm city of friend and brother mr duke obina and i'm delighted to have you here with me i want to encourage you in the view of god's mercy i beseech you brethren by the message of god and you present your I beseech you, brethren, by the message of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice.

49:22 there are things i want us to talk about the power of thanksgiving because we live in a world where people are no longer grateful to the lord and it's a major problem i want to talk to you about the power of thanksgiving and the scriptures we are going to look at is first thessalonians 5 verse 18. we have three scriptures to look at the first one is first thessalonians 5 verse 18. in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ concerning you so god wants you to give thanks everything means both good or bad give thanks hunger or abundance give thanks that's how you when you give thanks when you learn to give thanks in everything if you
50:08 find yourself in a condition that is not favorable it is thanksgiving that will bring you into the one favorable when you still find your oneself in the one that is favorable it is thanksgiving that will make sure you remain there thanksgiving would always lead to your okay thanksgiving would always lead to your good and lifting so in all things give thanks when the devil wants to attack the good god has given you he will try to do something on the surface that will make you stop giving thanks that's how he actually strikes you you know when the devil was attacking job you need to understand that what he was doing to job was not what he wanted all the things he was doing had not gotten to job because god told him that you can't touch this guy all he was doing the surface secret it was also you can't touch this guy all he was doing all in the surface he didn't still have power over joe take his family it was all
50:57 if joe had offended had become offended and cursed god in his heart he would have lost it the devil now reached out to the wife to tell joe to curse god and die joe told the woman you are foolish so the devil can come and do things on the surface he understands that the good you have going on with your life if you stop giving thanks you can lose that good going on with your life if you'd stop giving thanks and even if you're in a bad situation if you stay with thanksgiving oh it will bring you into good thanksgiving takes you from bad to good and keeps you in the good from good to the best so in all things the approach the mindset the attitude is thanksgiving It's thanksgiving. Praise God. Praise God.
51:45 The second scripture is Psalm 100 verse 4. The Bible said in the book of Psalm 104, it's a very popular scripture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. So God wants us to enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Be thankful unto him and this cause with praise be thankful unto him and bless his name we must learn to bless the name bless his name. We must learn to bless of the lord at all times philippians 4 verse 16 the last scripture i'm going to read then we bring out points from the scriptures for even in thessalonica no philippians 4
52:31 verse 16 16. me i'm surprised i had thessalonica what's the problem Me, I'm surprised when I heard Thessalonica, I was not saying, ah, what's the problem? Praise God, be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known unto God. So thanksgiving is what delivers the product to God. Thanksgiving is what covers the product. All the things you are saying, supplication, everything you are doing, your anxiety, everything, wrap it up with thanksgiving and present to God. it's as if there is a product there's a seal that needs to be on a product that must come into It's as if there is a product, there is a seal. god's presence thanksgiving is that seal thanksgiving is that in our company in the kingdom there are products we allow when you are serving a product and the company that is
53:19 bringing it is here it will not cross it's a contraband we don't accept it we don't import those things into our system you know time in nigeria i'm from nigeria in time in nigeria there are times when the government a time in nigeria from nigeria in time in nigeria there were times when the government started banning some products from coming into the country that's how that's how people do that's how countries operate there are things they don't want you to come bring into their product into their company country so when they see they check it there's a there's a checkpoint that checks the things you are coming into the country with their contraband they remove so when you send in things into god's presence the packaging that the heaven allows is thanksgiving if you are not coming bringing supplication everything you're asking your prayers with thanksgiving it will not get to god if you are bringing
54:07 with fear if you are praying with fear lord do these people want to kill me lord save me save me it will not cross supplication with thanksgiving make your request known to god that's how your request gets to god He must get the seal of thanksgiving. I don't want to dwell on there, but I had to just you must get the seal of thanksgiving i don't want to dwell on there but point this out. So we are going to look at the five points quickly. The first point is thanksgiving honors God. Gratitude acknowledges God's goodness and faithfulness. That's why he said you should come boldly. That you should come before his presence with thanksgiving and into his cause with praise. Come to his gate with thanksgiving. If you must gain access into my gate, you must be thanksgiving. The message translation said the password to his presence is thanksgiving the password to god is
54:52 thanksgiving if you don't have thanksgiving is thanksgiving. The password to God is as a password you will not come there thanksgiving the second point is thanksgiving defeats complaining a thankful heart overcomes bitterness and discouragement scripture philippians 2 verse 14. the third point thanksgiving brings peace gratitude replaces anxiety with god's peace scripture philippians 4, 6 -7. The fourth point, Thanksgiving strengthens faith. Remembering God's goodness increases confidence in Him. Scripture, Psalms 103, verse 2. Then finally, Thanksgiving is God's way. Thanksgiving is God's way for you and I. Believers should remain thankful in every circumstance. Scripture, 1 Thessalonians 5, verse 18. Summary, Thanksgiving
55:40 glorifies God, strengthens faith, and fuels the believer with peace. We are going to pray and fuse the believer with peace. We are going to pray and pray and say, a prayer and say, Lord, I receive the grace to be a thanksgiver. To stop complaining and start giving thanks. I receive the grace. The Bible said it is with joy that we draw from the well of salvation. I receive the grace to be a thanksgiver. I come into your presence with thanksgiving. Can you say thank you, Lord, in two seconds? Father, I thank you for my life. Thank you for the previous week, the success we saw, the growth we saw, the expansion we saw. Thank you for what you are yet to do in this week. Oh, thank you for we know more would happen. More will happen. It is from glory to glory. As we keep beholding us in a glass, we are transformed to you from glory to glory. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for enjoying my sparkling with prayer. Amen. I want
