ABOVE THE STORMS | Apostle Joshua Selman Sermon

praise the lord while i was just putting together this that the lord would have me share tonight i got a text message that for me was again a confirmation and um there's a lot going on in our world and in our society that is important we are alive to it we understand it and then we pray there is a growing trend of frustration please listen very carefully of depression and exhaustion these three words the holy spirit used speaking to me frustration depression and exhaustion to be exhausted and the lord told me that this are spirits that have been sent to the body even at such a time as this to change many people from stepping into the fullness of god's word and god's purposes in their lives even for this season and so my my exaltation tonight as we pray is going to deal with two categories of people please listen number one those who are severely under attack in their lives in this season if you belong to this category i have a word for you tonight that there are people there are families there are individuals who it looks like they are in very very trying seasons of their lives where all hell has broken loose over that individual over that family and it's important for you to be guided on the steps to take even to victory number two those who um are not necessarily attacked but they are going through phases in their lives that are nothing unusual as far as greatness and destiny is concerned it's important that we are used by god to help you interpret the happenings in your life so that you are not like them who are void of understanding it is important that believers mature into understanding times seasons and the dealings of the spirit that comes with all of those times are we together now so we're going to deal with these two categories of people can you lift your voice in one minute again and ask the lord for understanding father grant me understanding grant me understanding grant me understanding [Music] hallelujah amen please pay attention those following online pay attention if you know someone who belongs to these categories even if not you please pay attention for their sake [Music] hallelujah there are not many things that can discourage a christian please listen carefully um but the few things that can discourage a christian when they are there and they remain the effect of their presence can be disastrous i have identified two major issues if i would say that discourage christians number one is on answered prayer there's almost nothing more frustrating to a believer who genuinely loves god as a tragedy of unanswered prayer that people lift up their voice to heaven believing that god is alive releasing all their faith as much as they know and then not getting the answer that should be number two is an unfruitful christian life an unfruitful christian life that means that when your life with time is void of certain evidences that should be testaments of your service your work to for god it's very very frustrating when a believer gets born again and opens up his heart serving the lord giving his best and then with time cannot see the evidences there are evidences testaments that help us and help believers around us to appreciate the hand of god upon our life so unanswered prayers and then an unfruitful christian life now write this down please there is a goal let me start with those who are severely being attacked by the gate of hell there is a goal there is an object behind every attack of satan listen carefully that every time hell launches an attack on an individual on a ministry on a family on a couple there is something behind the thinking of the devil and his cohorts and the bible did not leave us in the dark as to what satan is really looking for and if you do not understand then you will continually be defeated by all of the the attacks of satan the first goal behind every attack the first thing the devil seeks to achieve is to destroy your confidence in god and the integrity of his word please never forget this that every time the devil attempts to attack a believer he is attempting to attack your confidence in god and the integrity of his word what satan is really attacking is the integrity of god's word what satan is attacking is your confidence in god the bible says to cast not away your confidence why because it has a great recompense of reward are we together your confidence in god i don't know if i've shared it here but i remember i was enjoyed for a meeting when i met a gentleman who was talking to me about his dad and he told me his dad was once a reverend in one of these great denominations around and haven't been frustrated repeatedly in the field the man not only turned away from god he made up his mind that he was going to move to another faith entirely he was so frustrated no school fees for his children no meaning for his life nothing seemed to work and he said look i've served this god i've preached about this god but i'm going to have to stop lying to myself it does not work you will think that you may never get to a point where you can consider this let me tell you something life has a way of pushing a man a family an individual to a point where you will doubt the reality of god was it not john the baptist under pressure who said go and ask him if he's the messiah or should we expect another for john to be thinking of another as the person who ordained jesus he should tell you what situations and circumstances can do are we together so your confidence in god and the integrity of his word number two the goal of every attack is to introduce the spirit of fear this subject of fear is very very very important you will be amazed at how many believers have been utterly destroyed because they became the victims of fear the bible says the righteous are as bold as a lion there is a reason why he says that fear is terrible it's a destructive spirit every other spirit stands in the line waiting for fear to open the door no other spirit can open any door that fear does not open failure waits for fear to open the door death waits for fear to open the door discouragement wait for fear all the spirits line up with the potentials of the havoc they can wreck but then they wait for fear a man who conquers fear has conquered many spirits automatically the bible says and to deliver them who through fear the fear of death now have all their life time be subject to bondage praise road fear believers live in fear fear of the unknown fear of this and that and that and that today you see young people even teenagers having high blood pressure this is something that a teenager should have no business with ordinarily but fear fear fear of the future how will tomorrow be how will this happen how will that happen and that fear creates a lot of worry matthew chapter 6 jesus took out time to teach and explain again and again on the fruitlessness of worry he said which of you by warring can add even a cubit to his hair he said consider the lilies of the valley consider the birds of the air they break a fundamental law of sowing and reaping yet your father your heavenly father is benevolent enough to make sure they are not hungry please listen very carefully [Music] sooner or later in your christian experience hell will be interested in you i guarantee you except you do not love the lord and you do not keep growing a time will come when the impact that you continue to make will attract the attention of hell who is this young man who wants to rise and do what has never been done in this family for as long as you remain down that's all right but then you you it's like a it's like a spiritual thermometer there is a level when you rise to you attract the attention of hell and they say what is going on here if we allow this young moses he can tomorrow be the deliverer do not take the baby for granted kill him while he's a baby don't allow him grow the potentials of his growth can be dangerous and so discouragement comes discouragement so many believers listen so many families have had especially in this time that we live in their faith shaken discouraged students are discouraged workers discouraged graduates discouraged pastors discouraged church members you know it looks like there is this air of discouragement and depression when you say praise the lord people cannot say hallelujah in their minds they say for what [Music] hallelujah comes from the word halal yeshua praise the one who saves that's what it means you say where is the salvation that i should praise him talk to an average believer about god he will prefer you talking about rapture than talking about the faithfulness of god don't mention that word faithful to him because he tells you i don't know what you are talking about that reality is foreign to my experience i do not yet know god as faithful faithful means keeping to your word faithful means justifying your integrity at all times please listen very carefully so believers have been attacked here and there and they think that the attack listen they think the attack is just on them just because they are christians or just because the devil does not want them to have a job or have a child and so on and so forth listen the devil is looking more than you he's he's trying to use you to make a statement to god that you are not faithful so when you read scriptures like since i was young and now i am old he says i have never seen the righteous forsaken no his seed beg for bread and you think of all your family members in light of this he said but this is a lie this is not true foreign to my experience [Music] and when the devil wants to make the statement stronger he will handpick serious believers he knows the impact listen the discouragement of a serious believer has more impact than that of a believer that is not serious someone who is not serious with god if he tells you things are not working you tell him what did you ever engage i mean we we watched you in in all that laziness no prayer no nothing but when a brother who has been a prayer warrior serving in church when his sister would have been serving faithfully in church two years three years no child four years no child then she now gets pregnant and everybody begins to rejoice then at the fifth or six months she will lose the baby in a way that can cause a problem listen carefully that impact another believer will now say my god what is this if you don't listen to what i'm telling you a time will come you will not see the need to continue again there are many believers who are sitting down but they've left god since they are just coming to church because they know if you don't see him in church you say i didn't see you here yesterday but the truth is that their hearts are not with god again they they are not yet bold enough to go to a herbalist but you can be sure one leg is already coming out of the things of god and that includes preachers the frustration of fasting and praying for genuine spiritual power going around and emptying my accounts in need for impartation only to return back with nothing that shows i was called when an aspect of your life has results and then another aspect does not have results you can at least find consolation listen but when every area of your life lacks results it's a cause for concern usually it will not disturb you till other brethren start saying but why is this so an attack on your confidence in god you started your christian experience loving god you made bold and audacious statements about god and while you made that statement hell kept quiet like they didn't hear you i will never leave the lord no matter what happens i will stand for him i will stand by him it doesn't matter and now five years without a child and you don't have the courage to make the same statement you made 10 years ago [Music] i will never give anybody bribe to get a job remember you said it and now here is a job that can reward you only if you can fish out 150 000 you can pay it back in a month your integrity is at stake you made a statement that you will never bribe but jobs continue to pass you again and again until the day your loved ones look at you and say you are a foolish portrait of a believer watching you is a discouragement to me at first you would think that it did not touch you until you sit lay down and say but god are you not watching and then heaven is silent [Music] are we together [Music] when believers do not get results they are vulnerable when believers do not get results they are vulnerable please listen to me when believers consistently do not get results they are vulnerable they are put in a position where the the faithfulness of god seems to be an issue that day that is worth debating about behind every attack is the desire to challenge your confidence in god is your desire to challenge the integrity of god's word hallelujah i got a text this afternoon about a gentleman who killed himself also i heard the story that there was a gentleman who killed himself and if i'm right i was told that the gentleman's brother or relative also killed himself now imagine please ladies imagine that you gave birth to children who killed themselves not that they died not a car accident not sickness you left your child hugging your child in the morning and say make sure i see you in the evening and then you see people running somewhere and you join them thinking is someone else's child and there you see your child and the testimonies that he killed himself think of what society will do to you think of what other women will say about you say this woman must have been wicked it means that you do all kinds of things sometimes it seems like death is better than living this is why people have the courage to kill themselves and if you ignore a man that killed himself and don't help other people very soon an entire area will begin to kill themselves it's a spirit but i've taught you how spirits work they don't come and walk with nothing there is a raw material they use your frustration as a raw material they use your depression as a raw material they create a this they create a system around your frustration and that becomes the entry and the access point to your life but we have come tonight to call the devil a liar in the name of jesus christ he says but i know whom i have believed hallelujah and i am persuaded listen to me it is important i will continue to teach this here koinonia it is important the depth of your spiritual foundation remember my teaching a few weeks ago that the deeper and the more solid your foundation the more unbending you will be in the face of unfavorable situation there are people who have dogs so deep they have become like paul for me to leave his christ and to die is gain what shall separate us from the love of god and then he begins to list a lot of things shall persecution shall famine shall abiancy frustration and then the spirit of fear you look around and see fear all over people's eyes fear financial fear marital fear fear of children fear of raising children it will be very irresponsible of any preacher and any man of god to ignore these truths especially in light of the realities that are in our world today when people begin to hang themselves when people begin to run away in discouragement go to the hospitals go to the psychiatric words and see all kinds of people young people talking to themselves out of depression and frustration something is wrong there has to be a people who will rise and say satan you are a liar jesus is still on the throne and our conviction our convictions will not shake we will not bend [Music] say i reject fear say it again say i reject here one more time say i reject fear fear is a spirit reject it open your mouth in one minute i reject here you are a spirit salah barakatos cabria dash i may not know everything about tomorrow but i know the one who holds tomorrow hallelujah he holds tomorrow i reject fear i reject fear i reject fear fear is a spirit and all spirits are received any spirit that is received can be rejected god has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of love the spirit of power and of a sound mind fear of excelling in ministry fear of marriage fear of children felt the future of children feel finances [Music] how can i tell if i will leave to see tomorrow how can i tell if i will not die in a ghastly motor accident tonight [Music] hallelujah listen to me please look up the believer who will never allow his confidence to be shaken and a believer who refuses to receive the spirit of fear that is the believer that will weary satan to victory literally that you can weary the devil with your convictions that regardless of what happens around you you can stand in faith and say my confidence lord more than ever i trust you more than ever i love you more than ever i will follow you as for me and my house [Music] when a husband loses his job in one day by the next month the wife loses her job by the third month the child loses admission or something and three of them are seated with a bible in the midst of them full of many promises and then they do not know what to do let me tell you something my brothers and sisters at that time heaven is watching even as hell is also watching those who will not curse god because of their pain if your pain will make you cause god you are small if your pain makes you curse god you are weak if your pain makes you curse god your foundation is not deep enough are we together [Music] job's life kept being manipulated so that he will find offense in god even his wife said look mr man this is too bad cause god and die curse god and die [Music] while i was still preparing this note this afternoon one of our precious ladies in the worship team just sent me a text and said they just told me my father has gone to be with the lord i'm sure she woke up this morning preparing with her colleagues to celebrate the faithfulness of god tonight only to receive a report in a year of extraordinary fruitfulness that your father has died [Music] are we together now yes there is a couple i don't know if they were able to make it here but i'll be very impressed if they made it the devil has attempted to challenge the husband and the wife again and again and again and that man of god in his resilience he said something that touched me one time while we were talking he said i will never be discouraged and i will never find fault in god god is faithful this is the language that moves heaven that the devil says can't you cause god are you blind you still maintain your integrity and say god is alive i got so many text messages from my young ones who wrote jam apostles i've heard you change people's jam this is what i got this is what i want to get pray and they send sometimes more than 10 times that text i believe i will die believing god is a miracle worker but the question is what if it does not change [Music] you don't like this part of god what if it does not change what happens to you when your expectation does not come to pass what happens when what you saw in your vision does not manifest physically what happens when god tells you by much you are a millionaire and by much you don't even have a job [Music] though he's slain me yet will i trust him do he slay me yet will i trust him you are eating this bread because the journey is far man of god what happens when you start ministry with a lot of zeal assurances from financial partners just that we are here we believe in your vision we'll stand by you to the end four months they say we've tried don't come near us for that rent again [Music] i confess to you my brothers and my sisters that life can be very trying life can be trying to the point that even jesus would cry at gethsemane and say being in the flesh i thought it would be easier but now i've carried the burden of men and even as a son of god i confess that men are trying [Music] surviving the betrayals and the pain surviving the nakedness and the shame now alone praying in gethsemane jesus wept prayed till his tears became like drops of blood is god blessing me today there is a reason behind the attack that has come is currently on you oh it's on the way coming let me tell you this there are many believers who convince themselves that they are not creating any trouble is the reason why they never get serious with god because they hope that the devil will be busy attacking the joshua sermons who are causing trouble don't practice the foolishness of esther mordecai told esther that this plot is for all of us is just broken in faces phase one is for those outside the palace but phase two will catch up with you for as long as you have named the name of christ let me tell you you have made yourself an act enemy to satan and he will come i assure you [Music] jesus is fasting for 40 days and 40 nights he's done fasting and the first personality he meets is satan and here what the bible says he departed for a season for a what season that means i'm coming [Music] i don't mean to scare you but i'm opening you up to the reality of living he is coming it's not only god that is coming maranatha is not just for god alone satan too is coming satan just like faith cometh is it not in your bible the thief cometh he doesn't have to be invited the thief cometh to every family he will come to every ministry he will come to every life please hear me he will come oh apostles have been enjoying my life everything has been wonderful keep going keep going the world is not too large for his presence to reach satan is an expert in mobility he testified his expertise in mobility before god where are you coming from he said from 21 from the earth that's not a problem i can voyage as many times as it will take to meet you [Music] it will come let your finances begin to glorify god he will come let your children begin to glorify god he will come insult me today and thank me years later but you must listen let your ministry begin to glorify god he will come let your life begin to glorify god he will come let your home begin to glorify god he will come i think it was last week or so i had the opportunity to counsel a couple i could not believe when they told me the antecedents of their marriage and the level of of love and passion and friendliness they had i could not believe that a couple who were disbonded today would be looking for a divorce i said what was so bad that you want to go out man of god i've said my own we didn't come here to debate it's a conclusion we have made i said take it easy there has to be a way [Music] life bar if you don't know god one day you will see down the road and say before life kills me let me kill myself when you see people do foolish things don't think they were born foolish are we together when people go and buy this rat poison what they call it and add it to rice and turn it to eat and die they are not stupid people there is a way life can push you huh as a lady when a man has done your traditionals has done everything the invitation letter has come out and then he just looks at you and casually says i don't feel like doing it again because somebody told me you are a witch go and tell your father they can go with the dowry i'm gone at that point you would think you would smile no problem what is there god told you to live my life you will cry and not know what direction to turn to [Music] it is true that life can push you it is true that life can challenge you recently i had a conversation with a man that broke me i was going to pray for the man true story and the man looked at me and said apostle let me finish the story he said as i'm talking to you right now my beloved wife is in the mortuary i don't even have the money to go and bury her i will not mention tribe but he comes from a region where burial is not something that comes easy and the man was just smiling i said your wife is dead said yes sir then my wife i stood before everybody to exchange vows we agreed to grow all together now she's gone you think they didn't pray to raise that body back the guy i'm talking to you is a born-again and tongue-talking christian what happens you see i've been to the mortuary many times my brothers and sisters as a man of god you can imagine what happens when people die i've been to the mortuary they have closed me and left me with dead bodies in a mortuary alone [Music] why because they believe i'm anointed and i believe i'm anointed and i stood before a dead body that would not listen to me wake up in the name of jesus and the body is looking [Music] there are times when life will act like that dead body [Music] there are times when your finances will act like that dead body there are times when your marriage can act like that dead body there are times when everything around your life can act like that please listen to me believe us when you pray and nothing happens and you pray again and nothing happens and believers agree with you and nothing happens you must know what to do when the devil launches an attack do you know what to do or do you just know that attack is real hallelujah years ago i counseled one of our precious ladies she's no longer here and this lady told me that once a guy looks at her and says i love you i want to go and see your parents that's the end of it a strange being appears to her as usual and that's the end of that relationship if that guy does not get out of her life the things that will get out of his life you will not his finances just like jonah things will begin to leave i can tell you that lady loves god and she's a christian [Music] listen if an unbeliever goes through certain things if it's natural what happens when a christian woman is barren what happens when a christian man is impotent what happens when a christian couple are broke what happens when a christian man and his wife and their children are standing in the name of the lord and there is no roof for them that night they don't know where they will spend the night yet jesus is still lord over their lives [Music] your confidence in god and the spirit of fear that comes upon you a lecturer called me some months ago that he was relieved from his work not not abu here one of the institutions and i said what happened and just some issue that he he truly told me under god now it's not for me to vet the rightness but from as a man of god i can tell you i decided he was true some persons just cooked up one or two things like that and that was it the case had been pending pending pending and finally they just threw that man away out no job and the man was telling me where do i start from there were monies they were supposed to give him nobody is talking about it and everything has gone [Music] i confess to you that life can be challenging i confess to you that when satan attacks you he looks powerful because the attack is real you will see it and sometimes you will wonder lord where were you when this came but tonight's message is for you [Music] let's look at a few scriptures john chapter 16 and verse 33 john 16 33 we're really going to pray tonight and when it's time to pray please call even if it's prophetically the hands of your loved ones and everybody you know should be listening to this message and lift them before god as we cry john chapter 16 and verse 33 everyone read with me one to read jesus is speaking uh-huh these things i have spoken unto you what things that in me you might find peace why in the world ye shall have tribulation listen listen jesus is speaking to believers and saying the possibility of tribulation is something that will be part of your experience that means acclimatize your mind do not think it's strange when these things happen it says be of good share why because i have overcome the world [Music] second corinthians chapter 4 and verse 17 second corinthians 4 and verse 17. listen to this message my child believe us and run away from some of these childish things that continue to give us very operated views of life for our light affliction why will you use the word affliction for a christian one who is in christ one who has sustained victory the fullness of the spirit the fullness of the godhead in christ resides in him [Music] paul is speaking and says for our light affliction which is but for a moment he says worked for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory for our light afflictions so it is not unusual for believers to go through afflictions nobody sits and prays for it but that is for any reason you find that reality around your circumference do not think it's strange rather be equipped with the understanding to deal with it to victory are we together now yes i will never forget years ago i was encouraging a gentleman generally just sharing with him i told him i pray for you to get a job but in case you don't get a job i was sharing with him certain business ideas and the guy almost shouted on my face i i reject um you know that he rejected the statement i was saying that there will be delay in a job you know the bible says he will not i said no no i'm a man of god i pray i'm not saying you will be delayed but i'm saying if this possibility happens while you wait for that blessing be thinking of this and that i don't mean to embarrass you but till today i'm not aware except if he got it this year but till today he has not gotten a job the same wisdom he would have listened to and his foolishness there is a difference between faith and foolishness they are not the same the same way a matured mother will be mentoring a young lady who is about to get married and get pregnant and say we do not we are not discouraging you but we are just saying that there might be these possibilities and that if this comes there is a wisdom way to route no i reject it my womb is blessed nobody is arguing it until life shows you pepper and then you turn and say ah so this thing is like that [Music] a man parked his car and ran to deal with somebody quickly and came out and met space his car had gone [Music] in the afternoon broad daylight the car that was dedicated in church don't forget don't forget almost every church dedicates cars this car was dedicated in the name of the lord by a genuine man of god genuine oil was poured on it and now a thief enters and the oil did not seem to do anything the prophecy didn't seem to do anything that guy kicked that car and ran away with it and where were the angels that keep watch did the bible not say that they will bear you up on their wings what suddenly happened to that man who put a speaker i am victorious behind the car that was stolen what happens when a believer is in church and armed robbers are in the house stealing have you not heard this or you don't say it in church it should not be said to be that you are worshiping god and rolling on the ground lord i give you my heart and an um brother breaks your door and the unseen eye of god does not seem to be able to restrain that robber he enters your house and goes to look for the areas you just collected and carries it and runs away [Music] you share the grace with joy and go back home into a week-long of depression [Music] i'm a man of faith i'm a man that believes in miracles but i must teach you the reality of navigating through these things in life i don't mean to embarrass our precious lady but one of our ladies here i remember very clearly one time her mother it was in a it was in a night vigil they were praying not in a party not in a club a night vigil they were praying lifting up the name of the lord fiery prayer suddenly a woman stops drops dead and dies that's how the mother died i remember when that lady called me that night crying and saying apostle how can my mother die in a place of prayer it's the same thing like saying how can jesus die but he died how can life die life died how can light be dark light became dark sometimes the unexplainable happens like life dying like resurrection being grounded on the cross james chapter 1 and verse 1 to 4 i like what this teaching is doing to you you will thank me tomorrow add it to your spiritual arsenals so that you will draw it forth in the days that are rainy days for some of you the dark cloud is already before you and you will need to know this james let's go to verse um verse 2 my brethren counted all joy when you fall into diverse temptations why next verse knowing this knowing this tell your neighbor knowing this there are things you need to know knowing this this is your immunity this is your basis for stability knowing this there are things if you don't know you cannot rejoice in the midst of pain it says knowing this that the trying of your faith working patience verse four he says but let patience have her perfect work do you know what this means don't interrupt what is happening let patients have her perfect work that he might be mature and complete wanting or lacking nothing [Music] jesus told us very clearly that it's not unusual for believers to be challenged by the gates of hell and then also the bible did not leave us in the dark that the journey of the believer is not just a smooth road that there are mountains and there are valleys in the making of great men in god's kingdom listen very carefully there is a place where the refiners fire i preached a controversial message years ago on the fullness of affliction and several people that don't mind that message just believe you know and so on and so forth there is a real experience in a believer's making called the furnace of affliction i repeat there is a real experience in the making of men that as precious as gold called the refiners fire it is not the destroyers fire it is the refiner's fire are we together isaiah 43 and verse 1 and 2 says fear not i have redeemed you he says i have called you by name you are mine are we together he says isaiah 43 one and two fear not i have redeemed you i have called you by name you are mine it says when you pass through the waters i will be with you there are times that god will not say i will be with you he will say i will help you but there are other times he said i'm there just find comfort that i'm there there's no guarantee that i will put my hand in that process but be assured that my presence is there and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee now listen he said when you walk through fire you don't pass through fire you walk there is a roasting process that takes time there is a separation you don't put meat around fire and you have something nice you drop it there then turn it again then turn it back to where you turn before then turn it again and when it is done people enjoy it listen what do you think the anointing is have you found out how oil is made that the threshing floor is not a place of laughter that oil does not want to go through that train [Music] believe us we are being spoon-fed into believing that all it takes is to get born again and be fully the holy spirit i want to be apostle joshua salman i want to be benign it is doable it is achievable but can you drink of my cup and be baptized with my baptism that's what jesus said whoever told you there is no cup to drink and whoever told you there is no baptism ah there are times when your prayers will deliberately not be answered this is not a conventional teaching many people say god forbid all prayers are answered i agree it depends on the level you are seeing from because the bible says there is the heal of the lord it says who shall ascend to the heel of the lord and who shall stand in his holy place there are planes in the spirit and not every experience is the same at every plane there are planes that are general experiences and you can write a theology from that standpoint but you climb like the eagle to a mountain where the holy ghost defeated you have you seen how eagles mount up and renewed their wings they rise to a high altitude and right there by themselves they remove the old feather and they are left naked in the cold and they stand there and then suddenly new feather begins to come out slowly there are things that the temple has been preset it will not be accelerated because of your tears it was designed to be that slow if the process hurries too much you will not lend what you should learn that you are trusting god for money to eat as soon as ten thousand came god said carry one thousand tight carry one thousand your own carry eight thousand my old go and so and you say why did it come then i i'm i'm i'm doing something to you that breaks the power of mammon in your life because what is coming to you i has not seen yeah has not heard it has not entered the heart of any man so i need to train you if 10 000 is difficult for you to receive and you are shouting i'm a millennial you are joking and flattering yourself we continue to do these foolish things in church that's why the world looks at us and said these people something is wrong with them the faith life is not foolishness people must be educated to understand the pathway the way to the throne is the cross you will never there is no bypass there is only one line man of god hear me you admire everyone who speaks under the influence of god's power fight let me tell you when the anointing for service comes it doesn't come as oil it comes as olive there is a breaking process that will turn that olive to the oil it is true there is a thrashing flow in your life that is in the similitude of the threshing flow of naboth where there are things that are trashed there unfortunately it's not whit it is you you are that living sacrifice that must lie there hear me there are times that the things happening in your life can only be interpreted by those who have passed that road no other believer can see and it can make sense now [Music] god gives you a rule and says for the next five months i meet with you from 11 to 3 every night regardless of how tired you are and some man of god will tell you no it's not in the world god doesn't do that pray when you need to pray god gave you a will i agree and the man is right he is not wrong but with respect to your training violate that instruction and power will be far from you far from you [Music] show us the ancient past would you lead us long eternal highway we want to wallow the ways of jesus we want to enter your rest show us the ancient part that so many have left would you lead us along eternal highway we want to follow the ways of jesus we want to answer yours listen the path to glory does not have laughter as part of the equation except you are laughing by the anointing heat that source in tears a farmer laughing by the farm has not started farming the size of the instrument alone will take away laughter but you have to farm who for the joy that was set before him enjoy the cross there are many people who see every blessed man and just dishonor them these young people they just became rich please keep quiet find out the cross behind what you see and then you will know that nobody was dashed well you see young people with anointing all these young boys where did they get it from go and find out the pain find out what they were doing when you were sleeping find out the covenants that they that they tied themselves with like a [Music] rope all these people who have great ministry be careful no you don't know where they are getting the crowds from you are joking you go and find out people's cries and covenants with god i know a man of god who said when he went to lagos for the first time he slept under the bridge he was not a poor man god instructed him to give everything he had he got to lagos and slept under the bridge like a fool imagine if you were his relative and you swam he said sorry uncle what are you doing here he said god sent me [Music] imagine that it was your daughter that kind of man married want to carry your daughter back home but today everybody celebrates celebrating listen my brothers and my sisters do not think it unusual when you are following the part of champions is a lonely road did you hear what i said do not think it unusual i speak to you there are many men and women of god here you thought by now you will start a church you are surprised you are still on on training there are others who are jumping classes and running around leave them and stay quietly with god because there is a making making [Music] ask a coach how a champion is built the coach will subject that person through exercises the person will run the person will cry coach i am tired and the coach will say no this is not you the fashion of you i seek to produce is not the you i'm seeing sometimes when god pushes you he's proof of his confidence in you others got there and god said no they've reached your elastic limit but for you he says no i know what i put in you let's push a little more there are certain levels of glory that i've been waiting for who will push to this level everybody stopped here you can don't don't disappoint me push a little further on one side believers can be attacked but on another side without an attack the default design of the pathway to glory requires like pilgrims progress there are mountains to climb listen very carefully there are valleys to follow there are times you will sleep in the desert there are times you will not know where you are going you just keep going and hope you are right [Music] we didn't come this far by luck we didn't come this far by chance it is true we came by grace but grace that was not abused it is not grace that did the work grace empowered us to comply [Music] behind every glory are tears and blood sleepless nights and sacrifices as any great man champions hear me being a champion is not just a confession ask a pregnant woman [Music] when she gives back to the baby like our dear one here who gave birth and we're all rejoicing but ask her how it was [Music] right now you are carrying something that others are not carrying don't expect them to understand you if everybody around you understands you is a sign that you are not going anywhere there are times only god can understand you let me tell you there are times only god can understand you while others are sleeping the holy ghost takes away sleep from you he giveth his beloved sleep but from you he took it so that you will wake up and you are walking around your house and crying lord what is the name of what you are doing with me he calls it refining lord what is the name of what you are doing with my life is this how useless my life is going to be you have honored other people look at what you are doing at least show me where i'm going let me be convinced that you are leading me and he says the seeming confusion is part of the process so that i teach you that you don't have to understand me to follow me there are times that it's in your obedience that understanding comes lord if you don't show me where i'm going i will not follow you will never get to the place of destiny there are times you start that journey far before it later makes sense [Music] come out of ai of the chaldeans to a land that i will show you i don't give you no vision for it keep moving carry your child along because you will kill him sooner or later these are messages you will not hear in the church again it's not all about receive it's not all about be a champion the anointing does not work like that there is stability i show you the way of champions i show you the way of the ancients i show you the the way to build stamina where you are given the keys of territories to him that endures to the end i will give a crown and a white stone he said please don't let anybody deceive you if it is that cop you must drink of it if it's that baptism you will be baptized if it has not started it will start so i'm teaching you so that you will understand that when everything in your life looks strange and god says empty your account when you were a baby christian you emptied your account and in 24 hours times 10 came so you took that mindset to rush as i is god i know his rover sharp shaft i agree but not for your training shop shop will be when you are on stage then you prophesy to someone and he gets a miracle a lot but i tell you not during your training you will get no miraculous what you will get is the faith to endure [Music] i shared with you my story today i pray and people receive breakthroughs i shared with you years ago when out of hunger i took a step of faith and joined the queue in first bank believing that miraculous will come this miraculous nothing didn't just start now it was built in the spirit so then that walks in us that life will walk in you whatever you die to is what you give life to people in let me tell you this is how it works [Music] you have never been disappointed forget about carrying the power of god no it's not for children you must taste of this cup called shame you must taste of this cocoa embarrassment till your ego is drained like a transfusion from someone and the life that i now live it is no longer about if you are not healed i'm not a man of god no your ego is gone it went with the training you started the ministry with ego so every time you want to pray for the sick your reputation is there and he said young man you can't do ministry that way it is not about the result it is about my glory it is painful to be approved of god this is why you stand and run your mouth over people that god approved you will be surprised what happens to you it's true you are a believer but you will know that everyone is not the same let no man trouble me he said for i bear in my body i'm speaking to men and women inside and outside here you are in this defining moment and i must tell you what is happening in your life because if you are not careful you will run around and meet people and they will say no um it's because you don't have faith no i show you the way of power let me tell you this listen listen i don't claim to know everything about the faith life i am just an effective member of the body but i tell you this when i teach people on how the anointing is made and i teach people how men are made is an office i don't teach you corningly devised fables i'm like a lecturer that has been teaching this for a long time you ignore what i tell you is to your own peril that which we have seen that which we have heard that which our hands have handled the keys of nations will not be given to you just because you prayed there is blood that must touch that altar and not some everything it must be drained if you are empty [Music] your tears will not stop him not even your fears you'll get to a point where all your fears happen to you and there's nothing else to fear you have come out of the realm not by escapism i'm afraid one of the ways boldness is given to you is what you fear is brought before you so that you no longer count here god shows you your fear right before you you pray that he takes it away but you pass through it and there's no longer fear this is the making of men this is the threshing flow of nabot this is how the greats are made in this kingdom apostle i'm calling to the ministry of kingdom finance i think all i need is just a seminar and some impartation you are joking you are even the one who will need to die more than a preacher because maman is a spirit that god even recognized abraham take now thy son thy only son whom thou lovers take him to a mountain god is this the price to be the father of nations i'm not interested what is that i wait for a child for 25 years and you ask me to hand him over yes sir take take over take over take over take over take over take over take over take over take over take over take over take over i have come to the end of myself take over pickles hallelujah hallelujah i have come to the end of myself [Applause] oh listen listen to me i got to a point in my life where god so dealt with me it was like there was no life again that you get to a point where you don't know the name of your life or destiny again no name you are like cain and the more i kept moving like the wind i didn't know that's how spiritual men are because it says the wind blowed where it listed you cannot tell where it's going or where coming so is one who is led by the spirit of the lord i truly wanted the power of god in my life and i prayed i said lord please give me power i thought the answer would be a bed that would land on my head and you say son from this day i have given you power power to open doors that no man can short you are joking power to speak over nations no sir no sir no sir those keys are hidden in your scars you keep them there oh i apologize if you don't like what i'm teaching you tonight but this meeting is for the great because i see that season coming again it's like a cycle and a season comes when there is a new recruitment a new recruitment is always like that and then the ones that are being recruited god starts working with them after some years he says now there is a an opening again [Music] that can scare me that can scare me cause i know i'm dead already my reason in my seasons i cry out this is the end of me hallelujah hallelujah i have come to the end of myself hallelujah listen please listen to me not every negative thing happening to you is demonic is of the devil not every negative thing will answer to prayer there are certain things where it is the grace of god that will be sufficient for you there are times in my life i fasted and fasted i didn't know the difference between being full and being empty [Music] this is our generation we truly have this honor truly have this honor please don't just see every young man you are seeing and believe that just because they are young it means that they were giving certain things as a dash no sir no sir no sir no sir there were nights when everyone would be sleeping i will be on the roof of that medicine in abu the roof of it in the night from night till morning that roof seeing visions and revelations but staying there in that cold with mosquitoes just a little inconvenience and people begin to complain you are talking of giving some seed i never had the opportunity to spend my scholarship once once it was a sacrifice before it arrived [Music] so when today someone says apostle give me your phone let me send you money please there is a track record let's honor the pain of people let's honor the pain of people man of god the anointing is for the taking grace is for the taking the pride that we have just because of our one one or two two hours prayer i will never forget times when i would lock myself for three days my eyes will not see the sun i don't know whether it's day or night i don't know whether it's nine o'clock or ten o'clock [Music] no sleep with this eyes open praying from morning till night morning till night morning till night lord expand

life of peter that while peter yet speak these things the holy ghost fell on all day that had him not all day that believed in him if your ears could hear peter the holy ghost will come to you i said lord why don't i see this in my life not for pride and god let me know that everything in the kingdom is yours for the taking but there are dimensions not all things are possible at every level there

message follow me you don't just cry and say hey yeah so is this how my life is going to be this is what i've become now no sir nothing moves till you prophesy i prophesied as i was commanded and there was a sound you see that's why it is important for a believer to be full of god's word if you are scripture bankrupt you will not know what to say prophecy is not just when god reveals something like word of knowledge you can take the word of god and begin to create possibilities it's important to know the world it's important to know the world when it looks like things around you are not working you go to some tree many are there that rise up against me many are they which say where is your god it says but thou o lord at the shield for me you are my glory the lift arab of my head i will lift up my eyes to the heels from whence commit my help my help comes from the lord the maker of the heavens and the earth is unfortunate for believers who don't know the word you must trust god for grace to sit down and gather relevant scriptures that address the issue of concern and stand up like the priest that you are put those words in the lips of faith like kenyon would say and begin to release them with true supernatural power the lord is my light and salvation the lord is my light and salvation i reject confusion in my life i hear a voice from behind saying this is the way walking it this is how to pray is someone ready to pray listen to me there are many of us who have gotten to the stage in our seasons where it is a prophecy that will bring the morning if you don't prophesy nothing will happen is someone ready to pray if you don't know what to say go and hold the hands of someone who knows what to say and agree with them lift your voice and begin to speak there has to be a scripture that you know it shall keep them in perfect peace whose minds are still towards him many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivered him from them all from them all from them all they ran towards calabrese and i will restore the years that the canker worm has eaten the palma won the caterpillar it will give them beauty for ashes joy for the spirit of mourning that they might be called the oaks of righteousness the planting of the lord and he shall be glorified behold i do a new thing shall you not know it i make a way even in the wilderness streams in the desert the lord shall perfect all that concerns me for all the days of my appointed time i wait till my change comes [Music] when the lord turned again the captivity of zion they were like them that three so sat there among the hidden the lord had done great things for us he said the lord has done great things for us whereof we are glad torn again our captivity like the streams of the they that sow in tears shall reap enjoy i am the head and not the tail above and not beneath i shall lay up gold as dust even the gold of office gentiles come to my life they are kings even to the brightness of my rising for my shame i receive double but my head shall thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn and i shall be anointed with fresh oil fresh oil fresh oil blessed in my growing out blessed in my coming in blessed is the work of my hands my kneading trough in the name of jesus christ blessed is a man that feared the lord that delighted greatly in his commands my seed shall be mighty upon earth the generation of the upright shall be blessed world and riches shall be in my house and my righteousness endures forever pray pray you are not just speaking you are creating declare now that ye my test be justified for by your words you are justified and by your words you are condemned you are bringing before god your strong reasons above only above only above only above only in the name of

my strength it says trust in the lord with all your heart proverbs chapter 3 and verse 5 and lean not on your own understanding it says in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your part the next verse says do not be wise in your own understanding but fear the lord and turn away from evil you are going to pray lord i have trusted my certificate i have trusted my connection i've trusted my beauty i've trusted my spirituality but tonight i take my eyes away from all of this as advantageous as they are they looked onto him and their faces were lightened i look to you unto you alone lift your voice and pray [Music] lift your voice and pray while praying i take my eyes away from man it is true that my blessings come through men but my eyes are fixed on you is someone praying we look to yahweh we is foreign is like the prison serpent that moses made he said whoever looks to that serpent the real one will not strike at him [Music] fairness anything that you put your strength on so jacob i see you stable without me i touch your point of stability so that you will be ever dependent on me the last prayer point he said he blessed him [Music] and the sun arose until then it was night the war happened in the night the weeping happened in the night but then it says the sun arose and jacob called the name of the place peniel the face of god he says for i have seen god face to face when moses saw the face of god he returned back with a testimony is someone ready to pray lord let the sun arise it is true that weeping enjoys for a night but i believe i'm standing

break through with god [Music] number one strange dimensions of favor there is a there is a an unusual degree of favor is god's signature he writes it upon your life that the training for this face has come to an end you have been approved he uses faithful dimensions of those who never dreamt opening i can tell you this happens it doesn't matter how the night is that when your day breaks you will see favor that will bring you to your knees when i talk of favor i'm not talking money i'm talking of the hearts of kings and nobles money is very small god will take the hearts of kings and nobles and give you it will be like a charm you will call on a man and nations will respond you have become beulah and hefzivah the delight number two genuine authentic spiritual power genuine spiritual power not trial and error not like god will come not like god will move something solid upon you provable genuine spiritual power you speak the purposes of god to men's life and you will shift lives overnight power power power number three the third thing that happens to you when you stand with god is that god multiplies both your spiritual and your physical influence he increases the reach of the grace he has put upon your life yes sir yes sir every man is limited by the jurisdiction a portion for his grace to function there are men who can stand from anywhere and speak over nigeria it doesn't matter the grace given to them and the expansion they have attained unto in the spirit covers that sphere elijah stood in one place and spoke over an entire land there were times when jesus had to leave one land to enter another land to pray for a person what was the reward of the five two one one talent greater territory greater influence in the spirit when kings conquered certain lands they had increased territory america is called america today because it's the unity of many states one american state can be three times nigeria one state are we together now yes is why it's called united states of america in nigeria you can pass through a state in 30 minutes and there are times in the states you will fly for hours from one state to the other there is no state that is more than one hour 10 minutes my degree to lagos is the father's distance one hour ten minutes exactly you are there [Music] but you will fly for hours that is the reason why whoever sits as the president of that territory must be respected by every devil whether they like it or not it is a reason why the american president is a number one president because there are many in one state is the destiny of many nations the per capita income of just one state will swallow up many african countries so when god expands your sphere dimensions where your grace would not reach now you can speak from one place and they can hear from whom before you had to go home for them to hear but now god has expanded your influence and they say wouldn't you come again you say no problem he has upgraded the grace for i am also a man under authority right from where i am i can say to one come and he cometh go and he goes it's like a ranking in the spirit one of my old secondary school classmates my father got to meet with him recently and now he's a major in the army i think at the threshold of the next rank was the next rank after major lieutenant cornell yes i think soon that's what they are going to give him [Music] he used to be a fearful chicken-like young guy i remember when they take us from joss to go to our school he will start crying even before we go out of just i never cried once to leave home it was a delight and a pleasure to get out that guy was so galish and feminine i wondered but that guy today is a major sometimes he would stand and do some things you know he could see a roach cockroach and you know how ladies would jump but today he can tell me kneel down hands up you civilian except for the fact that i sent the laches thou anything [Music] can we spend two minutes to pray let's pray the prayer of jabez enlarge my territory please lift your voice and pray enlarge me o god take away the spirit of smallness from my life it doesn't give you glory that i remain small not after an encounter with you not after seasons defining moments with you [Music] pray the prayer of jabez oh that thou just blessed me that thou would have enlarge my territory pray for koinonia pray for your business lord enlarge my territory [Music] he said where we meet with you is too straight let us move beyond the jordan [Music] please pray god is hearing you you are not wasting your time it has been said no one rose beyond certain levels in your family but can you pray the prayer of jabez expand my territory oh god i will go where the fathers have not gone i will eat the milk and the wine of canaan i will not die in the wilderness [Music] he did not bring me from egypt to leave me in the wilderness there is a land that flows with milk and [Music] honey [Music] hallelujah praise the lord i want to pray you don't have to come out but i want to pray specially for people in this place tonight you just sense in your life that there seems to be a fierce attack on your life this is not just a dealing with god this one you know is demonic is like all hell breaking loose over you over your family over your spiritual life over whatever it is your business i want to pray for you and i want you to believe [Music] it is for this cause that the lord says to not neglect the gathering of the brethren because it's an opportunity for a supply of his power even when your seasons come to the end there has to be a man he said destroyed not for there is a blessing in it [Music] i want to pray for such people suddenly your prayer life just went down you come fast from six to six by 11 you are almost collapsing you can't even breathe it's an attack as a man of god you found out that it looks like you open the bible and your page is empty you are not seeing anything again every verse looks confusing every something is wrong strange attack on your church members are suddenly leaving everybody is suddenly hating you people you have labor to raise in the gospel are now turning against you it's an attack you used to prophesy correctly but now you just found out that you enter the season of nonsense everything you say is not correct word of knowledge not correct your prophecy not correct it's an attack it doesn't mean you are wrong it means the devil is attacking your credibility so that you will no longer be trusted finances you're a hard-working diligent person all of a sudden it looked like holes came in your pocket all doors just closed no destiny helped again even those who promised to help you is as if something turned their backs against you it's an attack my brothers and my sisters you need to pray all of a sudden your children started becoming something else people you have labored and trained they now no longer listen to you you say hey they say be you say keep quiet they tell you to keep quiet something is wrong strange devilish dreams nightmares you can't dare lie down on your bed to sleep here they come pressing you molesting you attacking you it will take the grace of god to struggle yourself to wake up it's an attack what of reports from whom you are enjoying the glory of god just about to take a nice step they just call you they pay you some areas that you are trusting god to just use and buy a small land and you hear an attack that someone needs chemotherapy or whatever it is and they need to spend 35 to 100 000 every week and it is you they are depending on say divora say it again say divora i said divora [Music] because you don't do it everybody says you're a wicked young man who is allowing your father or mother to die and you pay 70 70 000 in in five or six weeks your money is gone there are many ways believers can be attacked and i pray for you i don't know who is in that category but i believe the lord put this meeting tonight you don't have to kneel just believe believe [Music] jesus the son of god i believe in you i believe in you i believe in you father you have anointed me for the sake of your people and i bring before you oh god the thousands of people in this place thousands and millions others from around the world who are being fiercely attacked by the devil and his cohorts in an attempt to corrupt your testimony over their lives i bring before you families that have been fiercely attacked businesses fiercely attacked destinies marriages spiritual lives ministries churches and by that attack your people have been discouraged they have been exhausted and frustrated tonight in the name of jesus i decree and declare that every spirit responsible for this attack by the spirit that raised christ from the dead we crush the works of darkness now pay attention i'm praying for you [Music] i decree and declare that if this is as a result of territorial covenants activities of ancestry that authorize darkness to launch attacks over lives over churches over ministries over individuals mysterious diseases that you had no party i pray by the god of heaven tonight let there be liberty for you [Applause] let there be liberty for you let there be liberty for you i challenge suicidal spirits over this territory of zarya the spirits that cause young people to kill themselves and waste their lives in the name that is above all names we command that spirit is banished from this territory [Music] the spirit of discouragement the spirit of exhaustion in the name of jesus we declare begone now and forever [Applause] [Music] he says the lord shall deliver you from six things yes seven things and one of it is the scourging tongues of men the scourging tongues pronouncements walk my brothers and my sisters some of you acted in a way and manner that out of anger some men of god opened their mouths under the influence of the grace god gave them and they made a transits concerning your destiny like elijah some of you laughed at certain men of god and they made utterances and there are things before in you you cannot explain listen there are some of you his parents maybe be before you now started to be serious with god you talk nonsense to parents and they looked at you and said may your children do the same thing for you you would think they were just joking the realm of the spirit is a legal realm believe it or not whether you believe it or not doesn't change that reality the scourging tongues like a scorch is called is a whip a cave that that the mount of a man can become a whip over a man's destiny it takes people to speak also over your life there are some of you maybe you were in certain churches and you ran your mouth against men of god laboring in the spirit either because of their weaknesses because of their mistakes you open your mouth some of you maybe even insulted them directly and like noah they got up from their sleep and caused you and said the servant of servant shall you be he said god forbid it will not happen but it's happening and you are seeing it yesterday i remember a man who i think he said something against bishop politico and bishop cost him and he you know laughed it over and believed it will not happen and for the next few years of that man's life things went down until he went for prayer and a true prophet of god said ah i'm trying to bless you and i'm seeing that that blessing is not coming something you have offended a man of god he said to go and if you can't apologize to him you may not have time to do all of that but that prayers need to be offered otherwise you will be surprised how long that thing will remain on your head there are things in your life that should not go wrong something is making it go wrong exactly what the blessing does is what it cost us in the negative hallelujah the anointing is two-sided it blesses and it judges i want to pray for you because i believe that sometimes this our generation need the prayer of mercy who have abused and insulted men of god some of us with the young revelations we have who have insulted every father of faith called them all kinds of names insulted our reverence in the orthodox churches our priests in our catholic churches you know presbyterian churches just because we are filled with the holy ghost we laughed at them in sarcasm and made nonsense statements and god had it further in the name of jesus i pray again the bible declares that a curse causeless shall not stand but the bible also declares that your mercy overrides judgment i stand o god by the privilege of your grace and i stand in advocacy for your people that in any way we have become victims of the scourging tongues of men let the mercy of god let the blood of jesus that speaks better things than the blood of abel tonight let it speak on behalf of our lives let me speak on behalf of our families let me speak on behalf of our businesses let us speak on behalf of our ministries in the mighty name of jesus christ therefore i decree and declare that any pronouncement on the life of anyone causing destruction by the blood of the eternal covenant from today let it be lifted from of your life forever in the name of jesus christ [Music] lastly let me pray for those who it is not an attack from the devil they are just seasons you are passing through that is refining you to be as gold father i pray you are not careful when it comes to making men you have standards that cannot be bent and lord some of these standards we we admit that in our humanity they are hard there are standards that will stretch us from every dimension therefore lord for the sake of your people listening following from around the world and even here who are passing through seasons of pruning and training and building let grace be supply tonight let strength be supplied tonight let hope be supplied tonight i decree and declare like a faithful soldier you will pass through it and emerge as gold that out of this season of training will come great anointings great ministries great destinies let the character god seeks to birth let it be perfect let the discipline god seeks to birth let it be breathed let the spirituality god seeks to birth let it be breathed let the endurance god seeks to birth let it be breathed the name of jesus christ stamina for you to endure the mockery of men stamina for you to endure the sacrifices you will have to make and i declare that at the end of it god will write his signature upon your life you will be a possessor of something divine something powerful in the name of jesus lord we thank you for tonight's teaching that as simple as it came we place an anointing upon it let it minister to your people at the point and the seasons that they will need it in the name of jesus particularly to your precious people in this ministry in the name of jesus there will be testimonies of
