INTRODUCING_JESUS_PART_2_with_Apostle_Joshua_Selman_THIS_SAME_JESUS

0:00Mmm, one iced coffee. 99 cents please. For real? No way. Mmm. Ah. Mmm. One iced coffee. 99 cents please. For real? No way. Mmm. Ah. What a deal. Your new morning groove. Ice coffee from McDonald's, any size for just 99 cents to 11 a.m. Pricing participation may vary, cannot be combined with any other offer. Ba-ra-pa-pa-pa. Hallelujah. Good morning to everyone. The Shouts of Joy and Victory will never depart from your tent. Someone is receiving it by faith. The Lord prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies in the name of Jesus. Ask for you, you keep going from glory to glory. The Lord will use your life to demonstrate His faithfulness.

1:00In the name of Jesus Christ, your life will be vastest for people to read and learn God. They will look at your life and know that it is true that God is above all. In the mighty name of Jesus, can we lift our hands in one minute and ask the Lord to speak to us this morning? The entrance of His Word gives light to the Bible says, and understanding unto the sinful. Someone is praying. Pray with faith, pray, believe in. Scripture says, what thing so ever ye desire? When ye pray, believe that thou receivest them and thou shall have them. Father, we give you praise. On to thee, that answers prayer shall all flesh come. Speak towards this morning, O God. Reveal your ways and let Jesus be glorified for in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Please, while standing, help me honor God's servant, Apostle Chidu Man, his dear wife.

2:03Thank you, sir. Thank you sincerely. Thank you for the love and the warmth. Please, just allow me honor the dear man of God, doctor, daily. Thank you, such an honor. Good to see you, sir. Doctor, looks good on you, by the way. Thank you so much. Please be seated. Amen. Amen. Amen. I made a statement while speaking with my people and I like to start on that note, that revelations create transitions. That means revelation has the unique ability to move you from where you are to the next level in the spirit. The moment revelation comes, it stops you from remaining at the same level. So revelation is like a vehicle. It pushes men into the manifestation of prophecy.

3:04When God wants to move you forward, he brings his light. And when that light comes, it sustains the ability to cause you to arise and then to shine. Hallelujah. We consider the few things discussing the person of Jesus yesterday. And I told us that my session was an attempt to answer three questions. Number one, to answer the question who Jesus was and is. Number two, to understand his mission and assignment. And then number three, to examine from the lens of Scripture, whether or not that mission was successful. And if so, what proof do we have today that Jesus actually succeeded in his mission? A quick recap. We said how that the Bible, the best description of Jesus that was captured in Scripture. In my opinion, came from the discourse of John. John chapter one, he took out time to begin the discussion of Jesus,

4:05not from a historic standpoint, not from an archeological standpoint. He traced it right to his divinity, calling him the word. And the first 12 verses of John chapter one does justice to a very forward description of Jesus from his divine standpoint. And then we took out time to examine that the clearest description of Jesus was to examine what he said about himself. Hallelujah. One time he probed the disciples in Matthew's account, he said, who do men say that I the son of man am? And all kinds of opinions came. Some said you are these. Some said you are dead. Some said you are these. Many people call Jesus many things in Scripture. They call him one of the prophets. They call him an incarnate of one of the prophets. They call him Beelzebob. They call him every other thing in between. But his trust is not worthy to examine the things that he said about himself. And we looked from the gospels down to Revelation.

5:06Ten of them, a quick recap, one he called himself the bread of life. He called himself the light of the world. He called himself the good shepherd. He called himself the resurrection and the life. He called himself the way and the truth and the life. He called himself the true vine. He called himself the alpha omega beginning and the end. He called himself he that live it was dead and now is a life forever more. Ten profound descriptions that Jesus gave about himself. But more importantly, we examine his mission and just a quick recap. It's important so that we can connect to our discussion this morning. It's going to be a very brief time. Just share a few things and then we pray that according to scripture, Jesus had a threefold mission, three principal assignments.

6:08And if you do not understand this assignment, it will affect your efficiency as a believer. Because your assignment is to be an extension of that mission. Number one, that Jesus came primarily as an accurate revelation and manifestation of the misunderstood God. It's important we understand this. That until Jesus manifested until Jesus came, it was impossible for men to have an accurate understanding of God. God remained in mystery for many, many years. And the interpretation of God that the nation of Israel had was purely through the lens of priests and prophets. They had to make do with the descriptions that the prophets gave them. Whatever they told them that God was, they believed it. But now from the lens of Jesus, we see that we have the credence to correct their perceptions about God. Because the Bible tells us that we see in part,

7:10Paul speaking and we prophesy in part. Many of the things the prophets credited to God from the lens of the person of Jesus, coming as a Martin script, we know that many of them did not see correctly. The Bible did not have the transitions of men in revelation. Even after Paul himself, he grew in knowledge. We can grow in grace and that comes by increasing knowledge, which together so that Jesus came to correct our understanding about the misunderstood God. Everything the Bible tells us God is or God does. We have a right to reject it until we confirm it through the life and ministry of Jesus. If he says, I have loved you with a everlasting love and with my loving kindness, I have drawn you. How are we sure that God is love? We have to examine that through the life and the ministry of Jesus. What did he do when he came around children? What did he do when he came around the sick? What did he do when he came around all kinds of people?

8:12So when the Bible makes statements like a lying spirit came from God, we use Jesus to verify the authenticity of that statement. Is that statement consistent with the character and the person of God? The Bible already answered us in John chapter 1. We examined that yesterday that this God incarnate came full of grace and truth. I went together. So he came as an accurate revelation of the misunderstood God. Number two, the second mission of Jesus was that he came to make the life of God that we call so way, the life of God accessible to man by reconciling man to God. The second assignment of Jesus was to insist and ensure that all men have a chance to receive the life of God. And by the way, it's important for you to understand that the life that we now have in Christ is not the same life that Adam had even before the fall. There are very striking differences between the kind of life that Adam enjoyed even before the fall.

9:21The Bible calls him a living soul and it calls us in light of what Christ has done quickening spirit. We're not just a life, but we have the power to transmute that life to everything. It's a reason why the healing ministry can function. You can literally be a channel. You see, something can flow from you to men. You are not just a life. You have become a life-giving spirit. The Bible lets us know that the only way men access that life is by believing in the Son. And it is not everything you believe about Jesus that gives you eternal life. I hope you know that believing is a prophet is right, but that is not the condition for the administration of eternal life. There is an exact body of knowledge you must believe that translates to eternal life. Demons believe certain correct information about Jesus, unbelievers believe certain correct information about Jesus,

10:22believing that is a founder of Christian faith from a sociological standpoint or maybe religious standpoint, you are right, but that does not get you saved. You have to believe an exact information. And that is captured in Romans chapter 10 from verse 9 and 10. The Bible says that with the heart man believes on to righteousness and with the mouth confession is made on to salvation. You have to believe him as savior, as Lord and as Christ. This is the jurisdiction of the body of knowledge that administers eternal life. Believing him as a healer brings you healing, but not eternal life. Everybody Jesus healed died. Everybody Jesus cast a demons from still died. It is the one miracle Jesus could not perform himself not before the cross. All believers can perform that miracle today of midwifing men into the experience of the life of God.

11:23It's a reason why he said greater walks than this. It becomes greater because Jesus could not give anybody eternal life not before dying. His death was part of the process that made eternal life available to all men. Now in Christ by communicating the gospel, you can literally be conduit a channel for people to be translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his dear son. If you're following, say Amen. This is his second assignment so that when you say you love God and you are serving God, you know exactly what you are doing. Mmm. One iced coffee. 99 cents please. For real? No way. Mmm. One iced coffee. 99 cents please. For real? No way. Mmm. What a deal. Your new morning groove. Ice coffee from McDonald's. Any size for just 99 cents to 11 a.m.

12:23Pricing participation may vary. Can I be combined with any other offer? Ba da ba ba ba. Number three. What was the third and final assignment of Jesus? I told us yesterday that he came as a model of God's expectation for man. It would be very evil and unfair of God to have expectations for man without creating a pattern and a model. Jesus came as a model. God's description of what the believer should become. At the point of your yieldedness and transformation. This is God's idea for what you should become. Are we together? He said as my father has sent me. The reason why it's important to understand Jesus as a portrait and a pattern. Is so that as you engage the word. As you engage the minister of the Holy Spirit. And as you engage the ministry of the teaching priest. You keep verifying what you are becoming against that reference.

13:24When you find yourself becoming something outside of the portrait of the Christ. You have a right to stop, to vet and to judge the various things viewed in you. Are we together now? Yes. I am studying the word. If I claim I am praying. If I claim I am receiving from the ministry of the teaching priest. And I find out that my evolving, my becoming is not becoming like Christ. Then it means I am using another mirror, another lens. Are we together? Very important. Jesus came as a description of what you and I will become. When we yield ourselves to the ministry of the word. We yield ourselves to the ministry of the Spirit. And we yield ourselves to the ministry of the teaching priest. Now I just want to answer the last question. And then we pray. Did he succeed?

14:27And if yes, what is the proof? Did he really succeed in this assignment? Did he succeed in correcting our understanding about the misunderstood God? Did he succeed in creating the new and living way for us to now access the life of God? All men, John 3.16 says that blessing is for whosoever, not to some whosoever. And has he created that portrait for us? Are we convinced that we can be like him in experience? Two scriptures, Colossians after two, 13 to 15. Jesus succeeded in his mission. Absolutely. When he shouted on the cross and said it is finished, he meant it. The Bible says, and you been dead to your sins and the unsaccomcision of your flesh. Have he quickened to get out with him? Haven't forgiven you all trespasses.

15:27Paul is speaking now. 14. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances, which was against us, which was contrary to us, he took it out of the way. How nearly need to his cross? 15. He says, and haven't spoiled principalities. I like Paul. Paul is taking time to give you the details of what Jesus did so that you are not in confusion. He did not just blotting out the handwriting. He also spoiled principalities. He is a language of victory and powers. And the Bible says, he did it in public so that there is no confusion. He made an open show of them triumphant over them in it. Someone say, amen. Hallelujah. The reason why he gives you this information is because all unclean spirits are stubborn spirits. All demonic spirits are stubborn spirits.

16:29In light of all that Christ has done, they will still wage war fighting your understanding. Your victory now is not just predicated on what Christ has done, but you are coming into a thorough comprehension that there is a consciousness you must come into to walk in the experience of that victory. Ephesians 1 and verse 7, please. Ephesians 1 and 7. The Bible says in whom we have redemption. What do we have? One more time. What do we have? The word redeem means to buy back by paying a price, a ransom. Like a terrorist who kidnapped someone and they will put a price and say 10 million error. When you do bring a 10 million error, you have redeemed that person. To redeem means to buy back, which together now. And you know the value of what you redeemed by the value of the price that was paid. No other price was worthy enough to redeem man, except the blood of the son of God himself.

17:35Not the blood of some spirit, not the blood of another man, not the blood of bulls and all of that. And like you may have heard me say, in ancient times, the requirement for the sacrifice was that the lamb had to be one years old. You know why? Because the age of the lamb would determine the validity of the atonement. So in this case, now the lamb who was ageless was the one who poured his blood on the heavily tabernacle. If you want to know how long your atonement has happened, you find out the age of the lamb who died. Are we together now? The age of the lamb who died. Not the age of the man who he became. Not 33 and a half years old. I'm talking about the ancient of days. Are we together? Yes. So when he calls himself Alpha and Omega, you see the Bible starts by saying in the beginning, not from the beginning.

18:40From the beginning means there is a starting point that your mind can relate with. When he says in the beginning, it means that somewhere we just have to create a starting point. But that as far as man is concerned, you cannot... The only one who can die is the one who was born is a law. You cannot die if you were not born. There must be a starting point, you see. Jesus was born in the flesh so he could die in the flesh. What you see is the ageless lamb. This is very powerful so that your atonement is eternal based on the age of the lamb that died. Do you believe that? This is powerful. So Jesus succeeded in that mission, succeeded in defeating the nature of sin, producing the outwalkings of unrighteousness. He succeeded in defeating Satan himself.

19:42Now there's no time talking about this but it's important for you to know that Satan is not the only unclean spirit that rebelled. That is a discussion for another time. There are other spirits today that are bound currently in everlasting chains. Those ones were not even allowed on the end for the sake of the elect. And when Satan fell according to Scripture, he did not fall alone. He came with one third of the angels. There are all kinds of unclean spirit. He's a general name they are called. Any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit or a Holy Spirit is an unclean spirit. Your spirit in Christ is a Holy Spirit. You agree on that? Yes. Because you have received the holiness of God. You are a Holy Spirit. The Bible calls for a holy nation in fact, a peculiar people. But the most Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit as we know, the very Spirit that proceeds from the Father is the one who even sponsors that entire process.

20:46I'm saying this so that there is a kind of orientation if you do not have, you will not walk in victory. It's important for you to know that Jesus did not fail in his mission. He succeeded. Now watch this. Every attack on your life, coming a sickness, poverty failure, is Satan attempting to wrestle the finished work of Christ. I wish you gather now. When Satan plagues men, there is a goal behind the things that he does. When he tries to steal, to kill and to destroy like the Bible says, he is not just doing it for doing sick. There is a orientation that Satan wants to give the believer to call God on faithfully light of your pain. Are we together now? So when he plagues you, when your life does not capture any semblance of victory, you now read here that you are victorious in Christ. You are being raised up with him.

21:47You have been seated with Christ. Are we together now? But you look at your life and your life is far from that experience. And Satan been the master of the sense realm. He knows how to manipulate your understanding into a green with him that God may be lying somewhere. So the Bible says, let this mind be in you. Not just let this nature. There are two things you need. The nature, but you need the mindset, the consciousness and the understanding. If you have the nature without the mind of Christ, it will be a spiritual reality that you are saved, but the experience of the so-and-life will never be captured in you. Are we together now? So what most believers need is not the nature. It's a fact based on the integrity of God's Word. It is not an issue of feeling whoever believes that Jesus died and resurrected by the glory of the Father. The Bible tells us that at that point, even in your sickness, even in your defeat, even in your poverty,

22:52it becomes a spiritual reality, incontestable, let God be true and all men liars. But walking in the experience of the so-and-life and you have to listen to this, it does not just depend on having the life of Christ. It depends on having the mind of Christ. So the defeat of many believers that consistently insults the reality of the finished walk is not because Jesus Christ did not defeat sin, Satan, hell and the grave. There is a requisite level of transformation that brings men into the experience of the spirit life. The experience of the Kingdom life. Efficiency after 4 and verse 18. Is someone understanding now? Why do we find our lives far short of everything that was purchased for us in redemption? Here is the answer. Read with me please.

23:524, 18, Ephesians ready? One to read. Having the understanding that has been alienated from the life of God. Please stop. Stop. Stop. Let's not rush that scripture. Being what? Alienated. What does it mean to be alienated? Taking out of the experience of a thing. And the Bible says it happens through the ignorance that is in them, that the ignorance that is in a believer, Paul was talking to believers, not unbelievers. Paul was talking to the believers in Ephesians that even though you are saved, genuinely so, you have received Jesus. You have received the indestructible life of God. You can be alienated from the experience, the riches that come with that life, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of your heart. The primary assignment of the Prince of this world is to blind the minds of people.

24:54Listen. Paul was speaking to the church in Corinth and he said, I fear less Satan, that his Satan should not be gallued the way he be galled if. How did he be galled if by first finding out what God said? Because Satan's raw material is what God said. It's not only you that need what God said. The attack, Satan's fashions around your life also depends on what God told you. So Satan also has to wait and know what God has said. To fashions we pounce against you. So he comes to Eve and says, my first question is, what did God say? If I have not found out what God has said, I can't do anything to you. And he heard what Eve said. We are free to eat of this tree and of the tree that is at the center of the garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we should not touch now. Watch what he said. Don't you think God is trying to hide something from you? Is that all? Is it that simple and the Bible said he be galled if Adam was not deceived.

25:58He fell because of love. The same way Jesus was not deceived. He came to the atom, became a man because of love, being the second and the last Adam. Are we together now? An attack on Eve was an attack on the authority given to Adam. An attack on the church is not for the church. He wants to discredit something about the finished work of Christ, the church being his bride. Are we learning now? This is very important for us to understand. So the Bible says, Paul speaking, I fear, less Satan. Come in with subtlety, he says. This is the very foundation of the subject called witchcraft. Witchcraft does not just mean to enchant in its essence. It means to cause a peasant to air using the tool of deception. So the moment I bring you into believing in a lie, what is a lie? A lie is beyond an untrue statement. A lie is anything God did not say.

27:01How is together? A lie is anything God did not say. So it is true that in Christ the potential for victory, the potential for excellence, the potential for prosperous life, the potential for influence. I like John 1010. Are we learning this morning? It says the thief. The thief, comment not. That means you never see him around until you find something what's stealing, what killing, what destroying. I think I said some years ago in this church that Satan coming to your life is a verification system that God has deposited something in your life that is what stealing, what killing, and what destroying. Because the Bible says the thief is too busy. He will not isolate you out of your 12 relatives and keep attacking you. He has seen something unique within you that you are not even aware that you have.

28:03But it says I am calm. This is my manifesto that you may have life and that you have that life in its fullest or have that life more abundantly. What is abundant life? Receiving the life of God together with all the benefits. Listen, listen, listen. You need to understand the difference between life and abundant life. Jesus did not just come to give us life. He came to give us abundant life. Abondant life is that initial translation from the kingdom of darkness into that of his death song. But together with all the benefits and you want to know those benefits, Psalms 103 lists at least six of them fresh. Bless the Lord, oh my soul he says. And all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul. And forget not his benefit. Benefit number one, who forgives all diningiquities.

29:04Benefit number two, who heals you. Media we're working together. Who killed how many? All your diseases. That means you can be saved and still live in sickness. You have life, but not abundant life. Abondant life means life together with the benefits that demonstrate the total victory of Jesus. Been captured in your life. Who killed all that diseases? Number three, it says who redeem it. Number four now, redeem it, die lives from destruction. Deliverance in its entirety. And then who crowned thee with loving kindness and tenderness is honor. Are we together now? I like this one. I receive it for myself. Who's satisfied by mouth? With how many things? It is a with things with good things. Because if your youth is to be renewed like an ego, you need good things.

30:08It takes more than just claiming and wishing. When you eat well, you will look well. Believe it or not, I'm doing this mind as an honest opinion. Are we together? There is a relationship between peace of mind, eating well, living a decent life and longevity. There is a way you can suffer and die not by demons. The natural cause of degenerating on the unhealthy living condition. Jesus said there are benefits. Someone said benefits. So that when you receive that life, you must be aware. Give me an instance. Look at this. Please let me your attention for one minute. When you come from an occasion, usually in Africa, there's something called item seven. You know what that means? Refreshment. Now, did you come for that occasion for the purpose of eating? Didn't you have food in your house? But it was part of the package.

31:09It's called benefits. There are souvenirs. When you come for a wedding or an anniversary, are we together? When you are living, you don't have to tell people I came. You carry your souvenir. So there are so when you receive the life of God, there are things you should carry along. And they ask you where did you get this from? And you tell them you can't find this in the marketplace on earth. You only find this with the Savior. And the Bible says, forget not. He says, seen if you forget. Forget not. Are we learning this morning? It's not enough to know that Jesus defeated Sin, Satan, hell and the grave. It's not enough to know that he was dead. He was very key resurrected by the glory of the Father. It's not even enough to know that today in Christ by declaring His Lordship, you can receive His life. The goal is not just for you to receive it. The goal is that your life becomes an experience of it. Eventually, the riches of eternal life should flow like a stream through you.

32:11That when men look at the nature and the kind of your life, they influence the grace, the favor, the power, the character, everything that reveals Christ. The Bible says, let your life so shine before men. Matthew 5.16, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father. That's the word. God wants to be glorified through your life. Please say that after me. God wants to be glorified through my life. One more time. God wants to be glorified through my life. Listen to me. If everyone's here, victory, life, Bible, church rises to become a living portrait, a manifestation of the Zoey life in all its experience and holistically so. There is a level of glory that God will get from this church, from this city, from this territory. The refusal to manifest in its fullness robs God of an opportunity to be glorified in the world of men. So he plans that glory within us, Romans 8 and verse 18.

33:13He says for a record that the sufferings of this present time is not compared to be, it's not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. In us. In us. In us. In us. In us. I record. There is a dimension of God's glory. He desires to be revealed in us. When Jesus was transfigured, He showed what we can become when we are changed. That is the portrait, a standard for every believer to press into. Are we together? Show me a believer who is born again full of character, full of wisdom, full of power, full of prosperity, full of favor, full of influence with purpose and grace. I show you a portrait of one that can bring glory to God. God cannot be glorified in the midst of a weak defeated people. Did you get that?

34:14The beauty of any coach, even in sports, is that you train a team, put them together and they win effortlessly. The beauty of any university or any institution is that you produce minds. To them, many colleges and institutions around the world, they pride and they boast of their standards. Even if it has declined, you cannot argue because the products that have come up from those people are leading the field across the globe. So they can beat their chest and say we produce 23 presidents. And whether or not they are standing still there, you can't argue because they have the proof. Don't just say Jesus died. What is the proof? Don't just say He resurrected. What is the proof? I will show you the proof as we wrap up. Ask for 33. All I want is for you, for you to be glorified. For you to believe that all I want is for you, for you to be glorified.

35:19For you to believe that all I want is for you, for you to be glorified. For you to believe that allelujah. And we great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, profound statement. We great power. We great power that apostles did not just come to validate that the mission of Jesus was successful. They were engraced to prove it. God would not want the nations to know Him. God would not want the nations to love Him. God would not want the nations to serve Him. Three things you must do with God. To know Him. To love Him. And to serve Him. He would not want the nations to know Him.

36:21To love Him. And to serve Him. Unless and accept He grants us the means to validate that is fully alive. This is where the ministry of the Holy Spirit comes in. This is where the ministry of power comes in. Now look at me please. The moment you are pursued as far as transformation, as far as becoming, if it is connected to the revelation of Jesus, nothing you desire becomes a danger to you again. Did you know what I said? Your pursuit only becomes dangerous to you if it is simply an ambition. The moment you connect any desire to the revelation of Jesus, it becomes a profitable desire. Why do you want the 1 billion era? I want the 1 billion era because I need to prove to people in my village I am not a failure, too small a reason. No, you are not talking kingdom there. The 1 billion era is because I know that it can build many churches, fund mission activities,

37:22and grant access to the purposes of God to find expression. That pursuit stops being canal immediately because you have connected it to the revelation of Jesus. Everything about the believer's pursuit does not have any value in itself. The value in any Christian's pursuit is derived from the ability of that pursuit to partner with the revelation of Jesus. Did you get what I just said? So many believers this again is the secret to answer prayers. When you ask God things blindly just to fulfill your lost, the Bible says ye ask and ye have not. And there is a reason because you just want to fund your lost. Many believers do not know that the entire believer's life is about the revelation of Jesus. Why do you want a child? Why do you want to get married?

38:22Why do you want increase? Why do you want promotion? Why do you want more members? If you cannot answer that question and you cannot connect purpose to the revelation of Jesus, even good things will hurt you and destroy you. It is the reason why people clamor, they make money, they clamor, they have anointing, they clamor, they get increased. And at the end there is no fulfillment because it was never connected to the revelation of Jesus. God designed man to never have fulfillment until he is connected to the project called Kingdom Come. Did you get what I just said? So when you go to pray and say father you must give me anointing. And God says why? And you say I am tired of being powerless, what does that mean? You have not spoken God's language, you have not connected your desire. The Bible says and this is the confidence, I will say the Bible students, that if we ask anything according to his will, not anything we want,

39:28anything according to his will that he hear at us. All I want, listen. It's for you, for you to be glorified, for you to believe there. All I want is for you, for you to be glorified, for you to believe there. This is one of the major reasons why God hates pride, because pride is an attempt to shift Jesus as the focus of every pursuit and to put yourself there. It is a big secret I have learnt in my little work with God, that when your life becomes about the revelation of Jesus, God will defend His name in your life. God will defend His purposes, He will shift systems and structures to see that you keep going forward.

40:30It is the reason why many people do all they can, but they don't go forward. The profit factor from your life, as far as the kingdom is concerned, is not there. When he gave on to one five talent, two talent and one, he returned back to see what they had done with it. When he found, you would think because two of them brought profit, he would forgive the one who did not bring profit. He still told that person you a wicked and unprofitable servant. In spite of the fact that the five brought five more, the two brought two more, he still was dissatisfied because of the carelessness of the one person. And he collected that one talent and gave the one who now attend. Hallelujah. This same Jesus, the one you know, He's not just returning the same way He has left, but He desires you to be like Him so that you become an expression of Jesus. You become an expression of Him everywhere, revealing His wisdom, revealing His power.

41:35I receive, I manifest Your power and Your wisdom to the nations. I receive, I manifest Your power and Your wisdom to the nations. I receive, I manifest Your power and Your wisdom to the nations. I receive, I manifest Your power and Your wisdom to the nations. Bring, Lord, bring, bring, Lord, bring, bring upon my life.

42:43Very powerful song. I receive Your wisdom. I receive Your power. Let it be of work in my life and from my life to me, to the intents that the nations will see Jesus, not the vessel, but John said that I may decrease, not vanish but decrease. Are we together? Many of what God is speaking to you saying, I want your life to be more exceptional than you even wanted to be, but you have the epicenter of your destiny. There is nothing pro-Jesus. There is nothing about the revelation of Jesus. I want power so that people who respect me. I want money so that people who don't mock me. Let me tell you those reasons may be sincere, but when you gauge that against the standard of the kingdom, men are not blessed and lifted and rewarded and honored just for the fun of it.

43:43When your life becomes about revealing Jesus to the nations, you don't have to be a preacher, but you see, the assignment of transformation is to turn believers to witnesses. For as long as you still remain a believer, there is only so much that can happen. You need that transition from a believer to a witness. It is until you become a witness, a validator of God's claim, a promoter and a defender of his interests. That is when you see prosperity like you have never seen. That is when you will increase an influence like you have never seen. There is no miracle or magic about God raising people and lifting people from muting people, but there is a non-emotional spiritual system of fencing your motif until God finds His purposes. If that becomes the epicenter of your motif, I tell you, you can be in a bell cut out here. God who raised a destiny helper from America and dragged them to you,

44:43even if you're in the village. It is true. Men who never find helper, men who don't love God, they are not willing to serve Him. They just say it mechanically, but God is not a fool. He will subject you to a regrossed period of fencing. That one I have saw you, it will not come to you as a gift. He will test you. One day he will say, do you love me enough? Yes, empty your account. And you say, I bind that spirit. He says, this is only a test. All you have in your account can not even find your life. It's not your money I'm looking for. When it told Abraham, take that only son. It was not something Abraham could pray away. There are things you can't pray away. It is how men rise in the kingdom. The price for life is death. If you cannot die to yourself and to your ambition, you have wasted the presence and the benefit of having Jesus. Can I tell you, there are two kinds of cross that you need to carry. One has been carried to you by grace, but the other one you need to carry by yourself, your own cross.

45:46We find somewhere to pray. I promised us we're going to pray this morning. Sir, I've studied a bit about the lifting. And how God lifts and prospers people mysteriously. So you say, it is not true. There is a business that only you and God can do in the secret place. This one cannot be manipulated. You can fake many other things but not that one. It is God that supervises that process himself. It's not like commissions are not a person who can manipulate the result. And say, this was in pass. You know, we have all kinds of systems. We promote people who should not be promoted. This one is God that supervises himself. Loves down the modernies. When you say, yes, he says, let's see. He doesn't hear, yes, sir. He will test his love against your greatest desires. I assure you. Be careful when you say, Lord, I love you more than anything. He loves that kind of prayer. He will test it against that prayer. I assure you. He will test it against everything.

46:47You only find him when you don't have anything else to hold as Jacob. For as long as Jacob still had many things, he could not encounter the God of the Bible. He came to him in Genesis 28. And when Jacob did not encounter God, the next that will happen was about 20 years of suffering in the house of Leban. When Jacob was now frustrated in chapter 32 of Genesis, the Bible says he dismiss his wives. He dismiss his cattle when he was alone. That man came again and said, let me try you this time. And Jacob said, I wasted that opportunity not again. He held him and he said, I would not... He said, leave me! For the dead brick, he said, I would not let you go. Unless you bless me. I hope you know the man saying, unless you bless me, hard cattle. He had things that he threw away. He was not talking of giving me money. Something more superior. Now, let me wrap up by showing you how God blesses. It's a very interesting thing. Many of us want to be blessed by God. But we don't even know what we're asking for. Look at how God blesses a man called Jacob.

47:48Number one, what is your name? And he says, I am Jacob, a cheat and a sopranta. He said, no more be called Jacob, but Israel. For I say, prince, you have had power with God and you have prevailed. The Bible says he touched the whole law of his time. Do you know what that means? How does God bless a man by destabilizing his balance? That forever you will never be complete without the assistance of God again. And he calls it a blessing. God does something to your life that you can never ignore God and go forward again. You will be ever needing him. And yet he calls it a blessing. And he called the name of the place Penny L and the son arose. The face of God. For I have seen God face to face and my life is preserved. Jacob has now become for us today a portrait of genuine encounters with God. He said, who shall ascend to the heel of the Lord and who shall stand in his holy place? He that at clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul ought to vanity, not sworn deceitfully.

48:51He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Then he says, this is the generation that seeks thy face, O Jacob. What about your prayer? Listen to me. The whole subject of Jesus will only become a theological topic that encourages you and you may never see that life flow through you. Except watch this. And unless you make up your mind that I will not only receive it as a reality that I'm saved, I will begin a project right now, a project of transformation by revelation, transiting myself from a believer to become a witness. So that my life becomes and always is a river flowing out the possibilities of the kingdom to the nations. That in and through my life, Jesus will be revealed when this becomes your project. You will not be afraid of praying and speaking of a prosperity. You will not be afraid of crying for the healing anointing. You will not be afraid of saying Lord multiply my influence like Jabba's.

49:52Bless me and large my coast. It no longer becomes a canal desire because the end of that pursuit is the revelation of Jesus. Again, I refer you to a statement that God told me years ago. He said, if you will let man see me, there is nothing I will not give you. It is true. If you will let man see me. When God told me this thing, I almost had nothing. When if you will let man see me. See me through your rising. See me through the excellence that emanates from your life. See me through the manifestation of God's power. You see, the temptation that befalls all men is because like I said yesterday the average African comes from a wounded background. So there is already a project to prove it points by default. That is what motivates you going to school. That is what motivates you getting money. That is what motivates your desire for promotion. And in itself is not wrong except that it can hurt that kingdom come projectly town.

50:57Because you get to a point where your whole life is about proving points. I am successful. Can you see it? And if anybody says no, you say I will repeat it again. I will shout it on your face. Now, when your entire life becomes about revealing Jesus. And I say this very sincerely. I have seen a bit of what God can do with a man when your heart is ever ready. My prayer every time I praise that Lord, when men look at me. If I am a true mirror, they should not see me. I said it yesterday. If you look at a mirror and you see another thing, that mirror is an object of divination. It is no longer a mirror. Because if you look at the mirror, it should reflect the object. Is that true? When people look at your life, they should think about Jesus beyond you. They may start by considering you. Wow, look at victory life Bible church. Great church with great people. But at the end, something about the excellence that flows from it would draw them back to Jesus.

52:01And they say, so this is what God can do with a man. I am praying for someone. Your life will make someone's prayer life come back to life. Your life, the excellence, the overflow of the life of Jesus through you will make someone who has either been on serious with God to get back on track with him. You will make love in God marketable. You will make saving God marketable. You will make living for Jesus marketable. That if someone wants to say, you sub God out there, God brings your image as the defense. He said, no, this man, he sub God and God has lifted him. This is the correct portrait of what I can do. Are we learning? Yes. Don't waste your experience with Jesus. Just been happy that I am saved with nothing to show forth in your life.

53:02And there are many people who do not know that the average believer has a mandate. And that mandate is not only to receive the life of God. Receiving the life of God is only one half of it. The other one is to allow that life flow, flow to the nations, flow to people. If I lay hands on a sick body today, someone who's been diagnosed with cancer say, and the person gets healed, what have I done? I've not just sold myself as an anointed man of God, that is a very latter part of it. What I have done is that I've demonstrated the victory of Jesus in experience. For every healing, every manifestation of prosperity, every advancement and success is beyond just showing that men are doing well. It is a message to creation. You are speaking, defending the interests of the kingdom that he still died and rose again, it is true. When a sinner, like the many who were born again yesterday, when they come to Jesus, it does not just show that the man of God is anointed.

54:10There is a kind of Jesus the nations are looking for. I read a book years ago as I wrap up by Thiel Osborne, the message that works. There is a message that does not work. There is a gospel that does not work. There is another kind of Jesus that has been sold to the nations. It's the reason why they are rejecting him. We have sold a powerless Jesus. We have sold the Jesus that erodes creativity and erodes intelligence and removes our brain and freezes it. We have sold the Jesus who is anti-influenced. We have sold the Jesus with anti-well-being of people. We have sold the Jesus who makes a man a responsible father as an unbeliever and an irresponsible one when he gets saved. And the nations said, this portrait of Jesus I do not want. But God is looking for a people who will represent Jesus. Present him again, correcting the anomalies that have come from that. That you can show people that people don't come to Jesus and go down.

55:10Did you hear what I said? People don't come to Jesus and fail in life. People don't come to Jesus. We love Him beyond the benefits. But the benefits help to shout His name and to shout His praise. All Lord our God He says, how excellent. Can I tell you, you are a better Christian being prosperous than not having anything. I assure you, because in your prosperity you can bless people. You can package Jesus through love and serve the nations. You are a better Christian when you are healed and healthy. I've done enough to save Him than a sick defeated one. You are a better Christian in a position of influence where you can defend His purposes using an elevated platform. I'm saying this so that in receiving Jesus you must understand the implication of what you are receiving. When you say I receive Jesus, you also mean I receive anything and everything on the God that can make me promote His name. You don't receive Jesus and reject prosperity.

56:11Something is wrong with your understanding. You don't receive Jesus and reject healing. Something is wrong with that understanding. You don't receive Jesus and reject longevity. Something is wrong with that understanding. Everything we receive that comes with Jesus are the defense systems that help us to make the nations know that He's worth receiving. We've had the honor of doing so many things for the kingdom. And even among the prisons and so many things, wonderful things that we are doing for the kingdom. And let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen, if you forget everything that I've said here, do not forget that everything we pray for, everything we seek sincerely is not for the benefit of that thing in itself. It is because it comes as a tool. This is the correct understanding of prosperity, correct understanding of their 19, correct understanding of ministry, correct understanding of growth.

57:17I desire this for the sake of your house. I desire this for the sake of your name. When I got to that point, God began to help me in life, began to help me in ministry. There are several men and women of God scattered here and they will tell you that the point of transformation in their life was when they got out of the way and replaced their pursuit with kingdom come and the revelation of Jesus. The reason why you've been praying and saying, Lord, change my Son is because you are more conscious of shame than the Son being used to bring glory to God. Father, you have to change this Son. I'm tired of being in shame. And God says, no, shame is too small a reason to bring the resources of heaven and invest on that boy. But the moment you say, Father, my desire beyond my reputation is that through my life I can have the honor of giving you a vessel, another body prepared for you. You will be sleeping when God who wakes somebody to intercede for one year for that child.

58:18One day you hear that that child who was a drunkard has now become a pastor. You won't believe till you fall under the anointing in your own child's ministry. That's when you will know God really found him. Listen, let me tell you, the easiest way to live the Christian life is to focus on revealing Jesus. The easiest way to live the Christian life is to focus on revealing Jesus. I'm going to ask us to rise as we pray. Please rise. My one desire is that you be praised, that you be praised, that you be praised, my one desire. That you be praised, that you be praised, that you be praised, that you be praised, my one desire.

59:32That you be praised, that you be praised, that you be praised, that you be praised. Can I give us two prayer points? Number one, I like you to pray and cry unto the Lord every motivation behind my pursuit and my desires that is not the revelation of Jesus. Let it die here right now. Please go ahead and pray in one minute. Every desire, every motivation is true that I desire the healing anointing, true that I desire prosperity, is true that I desire lifting, is true that I desire advancement. I'm hoping to get admission somewhere, I'm hoping to relocate abroad, to refine my desire, someone pray, to refine my passion. Why do you want fame? Why do you want listings? Why do you want the name?

1:00:38Online and on site, please pray. Why do you want greater wealth and abundance? You are a mining ministry here, trust in God for action, for a strong apostolic ministry, a strong prophetic ministry, go ahead and pray. Hallelujah. Let this be your prayer point all through the remaining part of this conference. Let me tell you the truth. Many people do not truly love God. They think they do what I tell you by your spiritual scripture they do not. They just want to use it because they've been wounded by life and they want to show that they are successful. There's pressure coming from family, coming from society. Will you not rise? Will you not be great?

1:01:39I want to be a millionaire. I want to be a billionaire. I want to be this. There's nothing wrong with those desires except that if the end of it is the marketing of self, you will never secure the attention of heaven. I tell you this by your authority of scripture. You want to secure the attention of heaven? Let your sincere desire for the anointing be beyond yourself and beyond your ministry. Lord, I see many people who are sick, wounded and broken by Satan. I see many people going back to the devil and going to have a list. And Lord, I pray that you can trust this hands of mine. Pray as they are. May your glory rest upon them that they become the extensions of your healing power for the nation, for your glory. That is the kind of prayer you will go to bed and wake up with an option you cannot account for. God will move through you in a mighty way that you cannot explain. Lord, I see confusion scattered around your body. Would you grant me the spirit of revelation that I can bring clarity and understanding of doctrine and scripture?

1:02:42I desire this because I do not want an army you are raising to be deceived. That sincere desire will grant you access to the fountain of revelation. Lord, I am trusting you for millions, trusting you for billions. The reason is because it is within my heart to sponsor the work of God. I have agreed with you that by next year I want to override. I want to write off the entire bill for the next conferences that will happen in Victory Life Bible Church. I want to tell the man of God just focus on the ministry of the word and prayer. God has raised me for your sake and raised me for the work of the kingdom until we find such people who will never be able to review Jesus to the nations. The canality of our postudes is why we do not secure the attention of heaven. It is not that the postudes themselves are wrong. It is that we have so connected those postudes to the marketing of self, the marketing of flesh.

1:03:46Hallelujah. That when men look at me, they should not just see a great man of God. That celebrity mindset, I educated myself to be delivered from it. It is a cancer to kill you in the presence of those who love you. Are we together? And let me pray especially for any young person once you are here. It is important to guard who mentors and who you learn from. Don't learn nonsense sincerely. There are some of us, our entire obsession. When we see some of this little honor, a man of God is coming, you know, a little honor, that becomes our obsession. That's what creates your fasting program. So the fasting itself is not wrong, but at the back of your mind, I need to outshine and prove to my contemporaries, I'm not a failure. And God says, I do not work like that. You need to be very careful.

1:04:46Hallelujah. A celebrity mentality will destroy your potential to reveal Jesus. I wanted to believe me on this. Now God is not God wants to lift us. You will be lifted more than you have ever imagined. But when your heart is dead on revealing it, not stayed on getting saved. Every time I have an opportunity to pray, I tell the Lord, take away from my life. Anything you will bring to my life, that will not allow men to see you and pray in it as a personal request. And I'm saying it even as I'm standing on stage here, may it never come into my life. I rather be a failure, having a healthy relationship with God, than to become a celebrity that is completely out of God's program. It's a foolish baguette, it's not a wise one. Because at the end of this life, no dead body goes with one niara to the grave. No dead body goes with one certificate to the grave. Your relationship with Jesus is greater than your quest for fame, for power, for ministry.

1:05:50Billy Graham did not have so much of healings for sayers as it were. But he was a man who revealed Jesus to the nation among kings and nobles. Many people today are products and foods of his apostleship. Can I speak over you as we wrap up? Three prayers in one, I want to use the next two, three minutes, my time is up. I want you to lay your hands if you are trusting God for healing. And then lay your hands also if you are trusting God to do something in your life. It may not necessarily be sickness, a change of heart. You are trusting God to do a miracle, I want to speak over your life. I believe in the power of God. We are revealers of his majesty, revealers of his glory. I'm standing in faith, lending my voice with the apostle over this house. And every vessel, every man and woman of God here represented. Hallelujah. But never forget this.

1:06:50The life of God is only made manifest when it is empowered by this but recalled the mind of Christ. The life of God is like a brand new clock. It cannot walk till you put the battery inside. Are we together? Have you seen a beautiful clock, no matter how expensive it is? You buy that clock, it will not move. It will just stay there because there is a battery. The battery that powers the manifestation of the life of God is the mind of Christ. There is a level of transformation that every believer needs. The greatest need of an unbeliever is salvation. The greatest need of a believer is transformation and that by revelation. The greatest need of a transformed believer is empowerment. The engrossing that makes you defend the things that you know. And the greatest need of an empowered believer is purpose.

1:07:52Because empowerment without purpose is like a car that is fuel and is running without direction. At every point in your life you can know what should be your major pursuit. If you are an unbeliever, you need beyond healing. You will be healed. But the greatest need is salvation. If you are a believer, what you need is transformation. And that is a laborious journey that demands your own cooperation with the Holy Spirit. The word of God and the ministry of the teaching priest. If God has helped you to attain onto some measure of transformation, you have truths that are accurate but no grace to defend and validate them. You need to content for empowerment. Jesus gave all the disciples the information. They need a body. He said, carry. You need an increasing. So that when you say God leaves, you can demonstrate that he leaves. When you say God heals, you can demonstrate that he heals. And when you come into the point of empowerment, purpose is what takes away the destruction that leads to pride.

1:08:55Because you know why they are not in pain. You know why the influence came. Let's pray now. There is no one else like you. You are great. You don't mirror cold so great. There is no one else like you. There is no one else. You deserve the glory. And beyond. We lift our hands and worship. As we bless your holy health. You deserve the glory. And beyond.

1:09:56Yes, we lift our hands and worship. As we bless your holy health. For you are great. You don't mirror cold so great. There is no one else like you. There is no one. You are great. You are great. There is no one else like you. There is no one else like you. the name of Jesus I'll repute every infirmity. I stand on this corporate anointing in partnership with every grace that is here represented and we

1:10:57agree as the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every infirmity, every dead sentence, manifesting as sicknesses and diseases for you or for your loved ones in the name that is above all names be healed now. Shout your belief in amen be healed now. Let blood diseases be healed now. All kinds of terminal diseases be healed now. Phone conditions be healed now. Eye conditions be healed now. Eye conditions be healed now. Respiratory conditions be healed now. And for someone you may be said apostle I don't need healing but my life is not going forward in the name of Jesus because your heart is stayed on revealing Jesus. I prophesy to you go forward. Go forward. You

1:12:01break forth on the north and on the south and on the east and on the west. Shout aloud amen. For someone I speak to you you will lay up gold as dust by the mighty hand of God. I call for the ministry of destiny help us. May they appear in the morning. May they appear in the afternoon. May they appear in the evening. They will come like the magi from the east bringing you gifts in the name of Jesus. And I pray that anyone here who has gone or is going to any kind of demonic attack and attack on your life your health your family in the name that is above all names I cost that spirit now. When Jesus said it is finished you meant it therefore we stamp that statement over your life. In the mighty name of Jesus whatever has fought your walking in the victory that is in Christ I declare that entrance that obstacle that impedance gives way now. Let me

1:13:09pray over your spiritual life. I love to pray for people over their spiritual lives because the battery that powers your entire life is the strength and the health of your spiritual life. If your spiritual life is one is found wanting that means the efficiency of your prayer life. Your word study life are we together. Your consecration towards God maintaining the grace is giving you your love and passion for the house of God. If all these spiritual things are found wanting eventually no matter how blooming and both of your life looks now it will eventually go down and trade like a leaf. Therefore I pray for you everyone here who is struggling with their prayer life. You love Jesus but it looks like the grace that sets the impact is to pray has gone down. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray for you. Jesus prayed that was prayerful all through his life. Receive the grace to pray. Jesus was a student of scripture and a student of knowledge. Receive the grace to pants after knowledge. Jesus was

1:14:12tempted in every way yet without sin. The power to live above the grip of sin and all righteousness let it be released upon your life. In the name of Jesus Christ listen for as long as Jesus walked upon the earth he was indestructible. They did not kill him. He gave himself to be killed. Therefore nothing brings you down. Nothing takes your life before your time. Jesus from the time he was born up until he left. He never let help us. I pray for you whoever must be positioned at every prophetic traction of your life to help you become, to help you actualize destiny. I push them prophetically to your life. In the name of Jesus Christ and I pray that at the end of your life it will be that you spent your entire life revealing Jesus. Beginnings from a bell cut out here or let your jurisdiction be the

1:15:13ends of the end. In Jesus mighty name we pray. For such a duly thank you so very much. Thank you Mark. Thank you Victoria Bible Church. The Lord increase in Jesus name.
