One more time, this is the Lord's doing and it is mavelos in our eyes. May the Lord bless the reading of His Word. The first thing I want to establish tonight is that the quality of your Christian experience, the quality of your faith work in this kingdom is dependent on your experience with God. The kingdom that we are part of is so built such that the excellence that emanates
from your life is a function and a product of the experience and the encounter you have with God. Hallelujah. That inasmuch as the same Lord is rich unto all, inasmuch as we are all children of God, the quality of our experience as far as exploring God is concerned and manifesting His glory, it would not just be dependent on what Jesus did for us, but our ability to have personal encounters and to have a personal experience. That means you can have two different believers. Perhaps they might be saved the same day in the same church such as this wonderful church, they might even be mentored by the same pastor, but the possibility is that their lives who produce can differ sometimes from east to west and I'm saying the difference is not the love of Jesus. The difference is not even that
okay one heart access to scripture and then the other did not. The difference will largely depend on who genuinely encountered God and the depth and the vastness of your experience. Are we together? It's important that we understand this so you can have several believers lined up to get there and their lives will command the Bible says two things will happen to them, not that the people who are aware there is God, it takes more than an awareness as to the fact that there is God, it takes more than an awareness that He's alive in fact. The Bible says the people that do know they are God, they shall be strong capacity. Number two, they shall do exploit, not talk about exploits, not wish for exploits, their lives will become a literal capture, a manifestation of the hand of God.
May that be your testimony after tonight. That men and women will look at your life and say I used to know you but something has changed, what changed and you will tell them that I came for this convention and I encountered the God of the Bible. Hallelujah. That means that my results and your results will be predicated upon our encounters, our experience with God. The second thing I wanted to know very quickly is that in as much as God wants to give us encounters, God reveals Himself dimensionally. Please write that down. God reveals Himself dimensionally. I was blessed by the pastor who came to take the offering and he said that there are many dimensions to God, that is very true. So in learning God, in knowing God, it is a, you are exploring Him one dimension connecting to another. God is multi-dimensional.
He is so vast, it would take eternity to learn all of Him but that in knowing God and in experiencing Him, nobody, no matter how yielded, can see all of God in one moment. Number one, you will not even leave after that encounter. Number two, even if you were given the opportunity, you will not understand what you saw. Hallelujah. So when he came to Moses, he said, I am that I am. Moses said, you are sending me to Pharaoh but my confidence will be predicated upon my encounter with you. Who shall I tell Pharaoh had sent me and he said, I am that I am. That is a very mysterious name. Hallelujah. I am that I am but all through Scripture, you will see God named in various forms and in various fashions, pending on the type and the kind of revelation of Himself. He made known at that point, for instance, if they saw Him as a mighty provider,
they captured that name as gyra. Are we together now? And if they saw Him as a healing God, they would call Him Rafa, if they saw Him as their peace, they would call Him Shalom, seeking their righteousness, same God, but these are several dimensions you see. When you invoke gyra, you will not get healing, you will get provision. So God captures His possibilities within the frame of His names. So when Jesus came and was teaching us what we have come to know as a Lord's Prayer, He says, when you pray praying this manner, our father, which are in heaven, the first demand is hallowed be your name. That means reference all those dimensions, hallowed be your name. In other words, we must approach the revelation of your presence as captured in your name with reference. Are we together? So God reveals Himself dimensionally. The God of Abraham is the God of Isaac, is the God of Jacob, but in terms of His mode of operation, the God of Abraham does not operates
like the God of Isaac. The God of Isaac does not operate like the God of Jacob. Are we together? When you call upon the God of Abraham, He will reveal Himself in a certain way. When you call upon the God of Isaac, He will reveal Himself in a certain way. The God of Jacob, He will reveal Himself in a certain way. Hallelujah. This is very powerful. God reveals Himself dimensionally. And the meaning of that is that the dimension of God you encounter, if your writing writing is now, the dimension of God you encounter will be the direction of your exploits. Let me take it again. The dimension of God you encounter will be the direction of your exploits. If you encounter a healing Jesus, what will emanate from your life is the healing and 19, and a robust healing ministry. But surprisingly, you may be poor, you may be broke,
even though you are operating in the healing dimension, because that is the dimension of God that you captured. Are we together? It is possible that you can encounter the God of Abraham and you step into a point of influence and supplies and abundance your life, becomes a portrait of the man that the Lord had blessed. And yet, there are many other aspects of your life that may not be speaking, because you will need to encounter God as touching those dimensions. This is a very important point for us to appreciate as we explore the theme of this conference. Now you understand when you say the amazing God, because you are talking about the same God, but that there is a dimension of Him now that you choose to study. And the way God operates is that the dimension of Him He wants you to experience. He will put that body in your heart, so that you begin to learn and explore that dimension. The Bible says it is God who is at work in us, both to will and to do.
He puts the desire in your heart and he compels you to now begin to study and to begin to learn that dimension of Him. So God reveals Himself dimensionally. God reveals Himself dimensionally. And you know the dimension of God you have encountered. Is it all right if I turn around once in a while? All right, so the God that you encounter, listen please, the God that you encounter determines the direction of your exploit. How do I know the dimension of God I have encountered by the testimonies that unsign your life? There are people who will only testify in a certain area and not a certain area. That means you have seen God revealed in a certain area, but there is need to see Him revealed in another dimension that may be deficient in your life. Hallelujah. Someone may have experienced the God who shows men messy,
but you may not have experienced the God who shows men favor. It is possible that you have experienced the God who can grant you the grace to pray, but you may not have experienced the God who comes as light. You may be prayerful, but bankrupt of spiritual revelation. So it is important that we capture God holistically to live a balanced and a fruitful Christian life. Are we together? This is the reason why no matter how dexterous we are in understanding God, you must understand that all that you know is simply a dimension of Him. John walked with the living Christ all through his earthwork for a period of about three and a half years, but in Revelation chapter one, when he was banished to the Isle of Patmos, the Bible says he was there for the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ, when he saw the same Lord Jesus, he could not identify Him again. Because this time around, he was Christ glorified, a dimension of his glory that John did not see when Christ was at work in the earth,
and he began to describe what he was seeing, the beauty and the radiance that came from his face, and all of those other descriptions. And although John was already caught up in heaven, there was a voice that said, come up either. So even in heaven, there is still room to go higher. Higher than what you have seen, higher than what you have known. Hallelujah. Are we following so far? Now, the Lord put it in my heart to share this. The Bible says, this is the Lord's doing. Please let me have your attention now. It immediately tells you there are things that men can do. There are things only Satan can do. There are things only God can do. Please pay attention. There are things that men can do. It is human to walk on my two feet.
Am I right on that? This is not a miracle. You are watching me move around this stage. It is not a miracle. We give glory to God, but it's not a miracle. It was programmed as a possibility within the reach of men. I don't have to be born again to walk, because this is a possibility within the frame of men. I can clap. I can speak. Animals, even lower animals can walk. These are possibilities that men can produce. There are other things that only Satan can do. If you see them happening in the life of a man, you know Satan has visited that man. Are we together? Now, we're getting into the depth of the teaching now. So there are abilities that men have. The ability to speak. The ability to think. The ability to walk. The ability to relate. Even the ability to love from a natural standpoint. These are all abilities that were given by God to all men.
It is not salvation that brings you into this possibility. Once your human is an advantage that came with our design. Are we together? But there are other things that only Satan can do. John chapter 10 and verse 10. Jesus is speaking and he begins his discourse by saying the thief commit not. The thief commit not. That means he has no business coming into your life, your business, your ministry, except to steal, to kill and to destroy. You can verify whether it is Satan by looking for these three things. He comes to steal. That means before he comes into your life, he must verify whether there is something what's stealing, something what's killing, something what's destroying. He is attacking you is already a verification that you are great. You see that now? Because the Bible says he commit not.
That means he is not careless in attacking people. There are people who will not attack because they are not what is effort. So the fact that he is disturbing you and your family is already a sign that there is prophecy roaming around the corridors of your destiny. The thief commit not. Are we still together? But for to steal. No wonder from Beth he's been at your case. He says his enemy came and so tears among the wheat and went his way. Next verse. But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, there are clear tears also. Then the servants of the householder came and said unto him, it's not so good seeds in the field. From when's had this tears? Listen to the answer of Jesus. Verify again that there are certain things only Satan can do. He being Jesus said unto them, an enemy had done this.
That means don't confuse it. That pain and that sickness roaming around your body. Jesus is saying it was not part of the seed you sowed. But you are seen and not as seed that is not consistent with what you have been sowing. And he's telling you, let there be no confusion. An enemy has done this. An enemy has done this. There are things when you see in the life of individuals. There are things when you see in the life of families. There are things when you see in the life of ministries. There are things if you see threatening glorious destinies as a believer with spiritual intelligence. You know immediately that this is not the Lord's doing. That means it is not a person's doing. That means God is not the only person who does Satan to does. And that there are certain signatures that when you see you know this one is the devil's doing.
So there are things that men can do. I wish you together on that. There are things that only Satan can do. But hallelujah for the context of our discussion tonight. There are things that only God can do. There are certain things. There are certain results. There are certain manifestations that is higher than the frame of men. The moment you see a human vessel commanding that result. It immediately implicates him that you have come into partnership with the spirit. Our assignment is to verify which spirit. But for sure you are not alone in producing this result. For instance, if in one year God opens a door that takes 10 years. It immediately, a door that should take 10 years is open for you in one year. That immediately tells you a spirit must have come to assist you for that possibility to happen. Are we together now? John chapter 3, please from verse 1 and 2.
John 3, 1 and 2. John chapter 3 from verse 1 and 2. There was a man the Bible calls him a Pharisee called Nicodimos. A ruler of the Jews verse 2. The Bible says the same man came to Jesus by night. Haven't observed Jesus for a while. Haven't observed the mighty miracles. John heard whether by rumor or he verified intelligently that this was the son of a young virgin. In other words, he was human. But Nicodimos began to follow from one crusade after another, one meeting after another. And he came to the conclusion that this man cannot be alone. There has to be a God factor in them. I may not know who that God is. But I know that certainly this man is not alone. And here's what he had to say for us too. The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him. Rabbi, meaning teacher, we know that doubt at a teacher
come from God. For no man can do these miracles that doubt the West. For no man can build this house within a short space of time. For no man can raise this kind of children. For no man can have this kind of influence. For no man can be given this kind of power. Except God be with him. Except God be with him. Nicodimos was an intelligent man, you must understand. And he's speaking from his conclusion about Jesus that we have observed you. And the only I can only trace your results to the fact that there has to be a partnership between you and God. You and a divine spirit. There are things only God can do. There are things only God can do.
You're not a man, no. You're not a man, no. You're the God who opens doors, no man can shout. You're not a man, no. You're not a man, no. You're the God of everything, no one can see. The meaning of all what I'm saying is that from tonight in the name of Jesus standing upon the grace of our father and our mother in this house I'm speaking of someone's life in the name that is above all names. mənuin n 300 oʻ©©©©© t Of what God can do.
Are you ready? Number line, very quickly. Western a home and 兄streichen 26, 6-9. This was a very profound testimony and the Egyptians, evil and treated us and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage. The next verse, please. And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression. And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt, helped me with a mighty hand
and with an outstretched arm and with great terribleness and with signs and wonders. This is one of the things only God can do. Number two, Daniel chapter three from verse 24, we're reading down to 30 very quickly. The Bible talks about three Hebrew boys called Shedraq Meşak and Abednego. And on account of their faith, their conviction and their refusal to bow to this 90 feet golden stature of Nebuchadnezzar that was built to mock the God of the, of the, of the, of the God who sits in the heavens. He created something to be God for himself and he said at the sound of musical instruments, you all bow and the gentlemen said, listen, we have been taught to be respectful and to be honoring but in this matter, we are not careful to answer you. In other words, our allegiance will remain on wavering even in the midst of this. The Bible says Nebuchadnezzar was astonished.
He rose up when they threw them into the fire. They made it seven times hotter. Are we together? Such that those who chewed them even died by the heat from the flames. And these three young men jumped into the fire. Please follow very carefully. When Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, he rose up in haste and speak and said unto his counsellors, did we not cast three men bound in the midst of the fire and they answered and said unto the king, true O King, next verse. And he answered and said, no, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire and they have no heart and the form of the fourth is like the son of God, next verse. Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the bonning fiery furnace and speak and said unto Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, these servants of the most high, it says, come forth. And they came forth, hidden in the midst of the fire, the next verse.
And the princes, the governors, the captains, the kings, the counsellors, been gathered together. I like this scripture. They sought these men upon whose bodies, fire had no power, upon whose bodies. This is not what a man can do. The fire had no power, nor was an air of their hair singed, neither was their coat changed, nor the smell of the fire had passed upon them. Next verse, please. Watch this as a result of that. The very next verse, please. Nebuchadnezzar speak and said, blessed be the God. He became a preacher at once. Nori has a no Bible school, but he saw a manifestation of God in the life of three young men. And that man was forced to preach a salmon. Blessed be the God of Shadrach.
I don't know his name, but I know those who save him. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who had delivered his servants that trusted in him and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies that they might not serve, nor worship any God except their own God. Last verse, please. He says, therefore, as a result of this wonder, this encounter with the God who has done this one, I make a decree that every people nation language would speak anything and miss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego shall be caught in pieces. And their houses shall be made at Donkill because there is none other God that can deliver, listen after this heart. There are others that can try to deliver in a certain way, but God branches impact in a way that only him can do it.
Are we together? Can I give you one more? Matthew chapter 9, please, very quickly, we're examining what God alone can do. If it is true that it is the Lord's doing, then we need to know how the Lord's doing looks like because we know how man's doing looks like. We know how Satan's doing looks like. So I'm giving you a picture from Scripture as to how the Lord's doing looks like, so that any doing in your life that does not look like what I'm describing, it becomes your assignment in prayer tonight. That means we are tracing who is behind the things happening in your life. If we see testimonies and a manifestation of the glory of God, congratulations, it truly is the Lord. But if we see pain and tears and sorrow, then we have come tonight by the Spirit to end an invisible hand that is masquerading as an angel of light, and yet the results that are showing
is not the Lord's doing. Matthew chapter 9, from verse 1, please, he entered into a ship and passed over and came into his own city and behold, they brought onto him a man's sick of palsy lying on a bed and Jesus sent your faith and said unto the sick, son be of good share, die since before given thee and behold, certain of the scribe said within themselves, this man blasphemed and Jesus knowing their thoughts said unto them, wherefore think he evil in your heart, he says, for whether it's easier to say die since before given thee or to say arise and walk. But that he may know that the son of man had power on earth to forgive sins, then he said unto the man to say arise, take up your bed and go to thine house and the Bible says he are rose and departed to his house. Only God can do this one.
Only God can do this one. If you care to add one more for the sake of friends, go to John chapter 5. The Bible tells us that there was a man who was at a pool called Bethesda and I'm sure the Fessier they moved that man. He knew that no matter what after two, three years I should be out of here. But two years became 10 years. Can I tell you, time does not on its own change anything. It is time plus an encounter with the God of the Bible that produces results. Waiting for things to change just with the passage of time will only leave you in disappointment. I'm sure when that guy was 10 years there at the pool. He said, let me give five more years at the most. But that man's life was moving back to worst, back to worst until he got to the 38th year. It's one of the longest known period we know in Scripture recorded where a man was afflicted. Even Abraham did not state 38 years.
Even joke that exact time was not given. But we know the Bible does not record that he stayed that long. Every long standing issue that has mocked God in someone's life. In the name that is above all name I stand in partnership with the grace that is upon this house. And I declare this night. May this be your night of deliverance. May this be your night of encounter in the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated. Jesus looks at that man and knowing that he had been there a long time, quoting for sake of time. He looks at him and says, would you want that I lift you and the man paraphrasing and said, would that be made whole? And the man said, I have no man. He thought that he was just men that make it happen. I have no man. I have seen men help men. But this is my situation. I don't know if God can help but I have no man.
And Jesus looks at him. He says that when I'm about to step there another person steps before me. And Jesus looks at him and says, rise up. You have seen what men can do. They have to wait for one year until the water is dead. But when God comes, when I is the season or not, His appearance makes it the season. Did you hear what I said? They have to wait for one man. That means if we are to walk by what Scripture gave us, there were only 38 people from the time of this man's affliction who had been healed, out of the many people who were sick. But Jesus came and said, no, I don't wait for seasons. When I show up, it is your season. It is the Lord's doing. Hey. Is someone getting blessed already? Now, very quickly,
as we prepare to tie up our teaching for tonight, I want to give you four scriptural tests. You will always know it is the Lord's doing when the following occur. Are you ready? Number one, it is always the Lord's doing. If and when the results are according to the Word of God and consistent with the will of God, please write it down. You will always know it is the Lord's doing. When the results are according to the Word of God and consistent with the will of God, Genesis chapter 21 and verse 1 is a very instructive scripture. God does not just do what we want. God does not just do what we cry for. In the economy of God, He only does what He says. Can we read together if you can see it projected? Ready, want to read? And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said.
And the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken one more time. And the Lord visited Sarah as one as He had said. And the Lord did unto Sarah. That means the only way to get God to do is to get Him to say. If He has not said it, even though He has the power to do it, He is bound by His Word. Are we together? If it is the Lord's doing, it will have to start by the Lord's saying. The Lord's doing only follows the Lord's saying. If you are not ready to obey and to understand the Lord's saying, you will never see the Lord's doing. If it is the Lord's doing, it must be consistent with the will of God and it must be according to the Word of God. Look 5-5. The Bible tells us in the book of Luke chapter 5 and verse 5, that Simon now answering him said,
Master, we have toiled all night and have taken nothing. He says, nevertheless, at thy word, I will let down the net. All I need you to do is to speak because action follows your word. Every time you speak, the first thing God did in Genesis chapter 1 is that and God said, let there be light and the Bible says, and there was light. And God said, let there be light and there was light. So if it is the Lord's doing, let me recap one last time, it must be according or in accordance to the Word of God and it must be consistent with the will of God. That means for you to know the Lord's doing, you must know what God has said. The responsibility is now upon you to study the speaking of God as captured in Scripture when you know what God has said.
You also know what He can do. Let me remind you of a few things that God has said, consigning you as captured in Scripture that when men say there is a cast in down, is that in your Bible that for you you will say there is a lifting up. If God has said that by His Spirit, it means it is within His power to make it happen. Can I tell you another thing God has said? He says and I will restore unto you. So stop crying about what you lost. God has already spoken that restoration is a possibility in His dealing with men. You lost money, you lost friends, you lost strategic relationships. God is able to restore both things and time. No man can restore time. Only God who does not dwell in the realm of time can restore time. Hallelujah. It is your responsibility to study the things that God has said. What has God said, consigning you. Everything He said to Abraham,
He said to you too. Deuteronomy chapter 28 from verse 1 and 2 and it shall come to pass if thou shalt diligently hacken to the voice of the Lord that God the Bible says to do and to observe all that I command you this day that you shall be exalted above all the nations of the earth and this blessing shall come upon you and overtake you and he begins to list them. Galatians 3 and verse 29 says and if ye be Christ then are ye Abraham's seed and he is according to the promise. That means everything he said to Abraham in Christ he has said to you. Hallelujah. That means you are called to a life of influence and grace and glory. He says you will be exalted above all the nations of the earth regardless the village where you were born. You see if you can believe what God has said then he will make what he has said come to pass in your life. You want to test the Lord's doing? It must be according to his word
and it must be consistent with his will. One time a man was sick and his son was sick and he came to Jesus and he said you are willing, I know you are able to heal my son and Jesus said I am willing. That means this is consistent with my will. So watch a miracle happen because it is consistent with my will. Number two very quickly. When it is the Lord's doing, what is the second test? The Lord's doing will always require faith on the part of the believer for its manifestation. Please write it down in your heart and on your notebook that the Lord's doing will always require faith on the part of the believer. Faith in one word is obedient. Please write it down. No matter what you do that you call faith if it does not culminate into obedience you are not walking by faith.
Faith is not just saying what God has said faith is walking in keeping with the conditions that commit go to perform. Are we together now? Hebrews chapter 11, please. One and two. The Bible says now faith is the substance of things hope for. He calls it the evidence of things not seen. I like verse two. It says for by it. The elders obtained. So men obtain in this kingdom by faith. The elders obtained a good report and if you care to read verse three says true faith we understand. We were not there but true faith. 11th and verse three we understand that the walls were framed by the word of God. True faith we understand that the walls were framed by the word of God. If the word of God framed the world it can frame anything in your life. John chapter one and verse three says without him was not anything made that was made.
Outside of his insurance was not anything made that was made. So if it is a lot doing there is a gentleman please understand that it must require faith. What is faith? Faith is the name given to the action of obedience that you take in response. Listen faith is the name given to the action of obedience that you take as proof that you believe God and so to commit him to perform. When God speaks and you find out the conditions that are connected to the manifestation of that promise. Working in keeping with those conditions is called faith. Faith is beyond just confessing what God has said. It is part of the process of faith but there has to be the action of obedience that commits God. Are we together? It must require faith.
The Bible mandates that we only follow those who have true faith and patience. There are many routes to obtaining the promises but that in following men verify that there is faith at working their lives otherwise you are taking a risk to follow men who have true faith and patience. Can I tell you when you are walking with God there must be something captured within your walk with God that will demand that you trust Him. Number three. When it is a Lord's doing, what is the third litmus test? It must bless and bring glory to the believer. Now or eventually, please write, it must bless and bring good to the believer. It must bless and bring good to the believer. Now that means at the present or eventually. If it is a Lord's doing, when it is a Lord's doing,
it must bless and bring good to the believer. Now or eventually, how do I know that this is a Lord's doing? It must bless and bring good to the believer. Even if it does not happen in that instant, Jeremiah 2911 says for I know the thoughts that I think towards you say at the Lord, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil. One more time, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil. It says to bring you to an expected end. Matthew chapter 7 from verse 11 and 12 for sake of time. The whole context starts from verse 7, but then we'll just read 11 and 12. It says, if he then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children. How much more shall your father, which is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him. Is that in your Bible? Verse 12, it says,
therefore all things whatsoever you would that man should do to you. You will also do unto them and so on and so forth. So he's saying that if you ask as men, on regenerate with the nature of evil, you still have a sense of compassion to do good to your children. How much more your heavenly father? If it is the Lord's doing, even if it does not make sense now, relax. Within that experience is your blessing and within that experience is good. Are we together? Romans chapter 8 and verse 28. Still on the third point very quickly, Romans 8 and verse 28. And we know hallelujah. They may not know, but we know. This is an advantage we have in the kingdom. We know that how many things,
including what made you cry yesterday, that within the economy of God he sustains the power to make all things work together. Now, I don't know how many of you cook well, but I know that this region cooks well. Am I right on that? Come on, don't disappoint this. I should have a plate of swallow for this compliment. Hallelujah. But watch this. Cooks well knows that the ingredients that make the meal you enjoy have different tastes. Is that true? Yes. There are ingredients that you only enjoy them when combined. If you are to eat or taste them and learn it to annoy you, it is so pungent. And yet it is part of what makes that meal beautiful. Now, it is the expertise of the cook. You leave it to the cook. He knows the quantity of combination.
Now, yes. If you are cooking a pot of soup and the same quantity of vegetables become the same quantity of salt for you, you have done something. No shadow you will light up, mounting you will climb up, coming out to me. No one will keep down, but you will keep down, coming out to me. No shadow you will light up. No shadow you will light up, mounting you will climb up, coming out to me. No one will keep down, but you will keep down, coming out to me. Hallelujah. So number one,
that when it is the Lord's doing, it must be in accordance to the Word of God and it must be consistent with the wheel of God. Number two, when it is the Lord's doing, it will require faith, it will require obedience on the part of the believer. You have that down. Number three, that when it is the Lord's doing, it must bless and bring good to the believer. Take note now or eventually. That means if you have not seen the good manifest now, Mary, when the angel appeared, he never said you are a troubled woman. He said you are favored, but the next thing that followed Mary was a series of controversies and pain and yet God still said you are favored. So sometimes favored does not start with laughter. Favor can start with endurance, but it is still favored.
Favor can start with tears, but it is still favored. Favor can start with the most important thing the Bible says, better is the end. The end. Don't be too quick to say God is unfaithful. No. Only a boring movie starts with victory. Every movie that attracts your attention will demand that you keep watching. Hallelujah. Many great movies start with mysticism and tragedies. The entire span of the movie is to unravel secrets and mysteries. That is where the expectation and the joy of watching that movie is. Could that movie be your life? That for 30 years now, even you don't understand what God is acting, but rest in the fact that if it is the Lord's doing, at the end of it, you will sing a song that only you can sing.
I hope you believe what you are hearing. Let me prophesy to someone. The same way you cry is with that same energy you will laugh. Hallelujah. The same way they mock you. That is the same way they will gather to celebrate God. Hallelujah. Let me show you what will happen to someone in this place. Job chapter 42 and verse 10. Please give it to us. The Bible says, and the Lord turned the captivity of Joe when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job how many? What he had before. Don't regret what you lost before. A great eyes coming. Listen, I know you lost a child sadly, but God will give you one child
that is equal to a nation. Now, let's go to verse 11 of that scripture so that I tie this up tonight. Verse 11, Job 42. Watch what happened to him. The Bible says, then came there unto him all his brethren. Where were they when he was alone with his wife? What grace suddenly came upon him that met everybody who forgot him to start remembering him. Does that look like what will happen to you? After this conference, after this convention, that those who have called you forgot about you, they drifted from you because of the pungency of all that has happened in your life that they will begin to come to you. Let's finish that scripture. Let's finish that scripture. The Bible says all his brethren and all his sisters read with me if you can. And all that had been of his acquaintances before
and they did each bread with him in the house and they bemoan him and comforted him. Overall the evil that the Lord had brought upon him. I like the second part. He says, and every man gave him a piece of money and every one and airing of gold. How many of them? Including those who loved before. Every man. When the Lord's hand comes upon your life, he can use anybody even Pharaoh to bless you. Hallelujah. Please be seated for the last point. So we wrap up my God. Someone will not go back home the same. Are you ready for number four? Yes. The fourth test. How will I know that it is the Lord's doing? It must bring glory to the name of the Lord.
In it, the entire journey culminated by that result. Jesus must be glorified. Matthew 9 and verse 8. Matthew 9 and verse 8. The fourth litmus test that helps you know that this is the Lord's doing. The Bible says, but when the multitude saw it, help me. They marveled and glorified God which had given such power unto men. When they saw the child that had come after 20 years, when they saw the job that had come after 10 years, when they saw the promotion, when they saw the good things that came, that after 10 years of waiting, God gave you quadruplets. The Bible says, when they saw, you see, the way you know it is God is that the more men look at you, the more they call his name. When your name is the only name they call in the presence of your testimony, someone else produce it. If it is God's hand that is at working your life,
the more men look at you, they should not say, this God, this God, not just your name, this God. Hallelujah. It must bring glory to the name of the Lord. Galatians 124. It's a scripture that has blessed me for many years. Let's really together and please never forget it for the rest of your life because this is what your life is becoming after now. It says, want to read and they glorify God in me. One more time. One more time. The last time now. And they glorify God. Hallelujah. These are the four scriptural tests to know that it is the Lord's doing. Can I recap one last time and then we'll pray?
When it is the Lord's doing, the results that the manifestations in your life must be in accordance to the Word of God and must be consistent with the will of God. Number two, it must require faith on the part of the believer for that result to be made manifest. Number three, it must bless and bring good to the believer now or eventually do not forget point three so that you can still rejoice in the midst of storms. It did not happen today but it did not mean it will not happen. God is still walking. Give him time. Hallelujah. And then number four, when all is said and done, when the children come, when the prosperity comes, when the ministry increase comes, when the influence comes,
never forget. It says, let it not be that when you have built houses and you have done this, that you say my power and the might of my hand has given me this, but thou shall remember, meaning in the presence of plenty men can forget. In the presence of results men can forget. Pay and can make you remember God, but plenty can erode the memory of his faithfulness from your life. The Bible is full of men and women who forgot God and in their pride exalted and puffed up with pride. They forgot God until they came down to their lonely estates again. Never forget the fourth and the final test. If it is the Lord's doing, it must bring glory to the name of the Lord. If it is the Lord's doing, it must bring glory to the name of the Lord. John 17 and verse one, Jesus lifted up His eyes to the heaven, praying and He said, Father, the hour has come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee,
glorify thy Son, glorify the businessman that He may bring you glory, glorify the young lady that She may bring you glory, glorify Esther, that She may bring you glory, glorify Ruth, that She may bring you glory, glorify Gideon, that He may bring you glory, glorify Samson, glorify Joshua Selman. I will not call your name for you. Glorify Joshua Selman, that He may bring you glory, glorify that preacher, that apostle, glorify this faithful church member, Nakandananarina?

I remind you one last time they're people of God. There are things men can do. There are things only Satan can do but in your life and in this season and staying at men can do you don't need a repetition of that many of you have experience
painfully saw what Satan can do. You don't need a repetition of that. But in the name of Jesus someone is about to test and see that the Lord is good. In one minute where ever you are open your mouth and begin to cry on to giork, kisit maai, kisit mai,оны giork, and do what only you can do that people will pray, in this Church go ahead and pray visit my family, call the name of your children, mentioned the name of your business, mentioned the name of your minister as a man of God I cry to you kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakak

TRY I am in the name of Jesus the son of the living God, please hear me, I command that door to be open now, to be open now, to be open now, to be open now, to be open now.
Hallelujah. Listen, there are three ways to open doors. Number one is by using the right key. Number two is by knocking, but that would depend on whether the person inside wants to open for you, but the way to open doors when you are angry is to learn from Paul and Silas. It says at midnight, they prayed and they sang and all the jealous heard them. Suddenly there was an earthquake. It ran to the foundations and the Bible says and all doors open. How many doors? All doors open. Let me speak to someone because some doors have opened, but others have refused to open. Every door that is left yet to be open. No matter how long it has been closed, I declare as far to be open. As far to be open. As far to be open.
We are happy now. Once upon a time, the nation of Israel was standing before the Red Sea and behind them were the Egyptians at the command of Pharaoh with anger coming to take them back into yesterday. And the Bible says a lot told Moses, why do you cry before me? It says speak to the people that they go forward. I want to speak to someone. You don't just go forward because you want to. You are pushed by prophecy. I stand as a prophetic midwife upon the grace in this house. And for someone who has been crawling, I push you into the next level of your life. I push a barricade test guitar. I push you step into the next level of ministry, the next level of your destiny by God who helps man in the name of Jesus Christ.
This Egyptians you see today in the name of Jesus, the rider upon the white horse, the one by whom a sword comes from his mouth. Every Egyptian that has mocked God, please hear me in the name that is above all names. You see them no more forever. You see them no more forever. You see them no more forever. Finally, can I declare restoration? Please watch this. My apologies for stretching by a few minutes beyond my allotted time. I want you to listen carefully. Just help those under the anointing. But listen to me. You know what it means to restore. There is a difference between progress and restoration. Watch me. This is progress taking incremental steps. Right.
Restoration is when an obstacle inhibits your progress so that there is a lot in time. The things you should have done you cannot do because of that obstacle. Now watch this. If the obstacle is taking away, it is called deliverance. But what happens afterwards is not restoration. It is still called progress restoration means to be taken by the hand of the spirit to the point you would have been. If that obstacle were not there, are we together now? I'm not speaking progress tonight. I want to speak restoration because there are people who, if not because this family altars tied you down by now, there are things that would have happened to you. If not because of the wickedness and the biases of men, you would have been lifted in that office by now. The Bible says they are taking for a prayer and non-sayed restore. I declare between now and the end of August. By the God who has called me between a parakeet debata now and the end of August, everything that should have been in your life.
That is not in your life. I gravitate towards your destiny. Every relationship that should not have left your life but has gone. I call it back in Jesus name. I call back opportunities by the spirit of the living God. And hear me, even if you are something, I command that hair to grow back. Listen, for someone before you arrive from this night, your testimony will reach your house before you. Did you hear what I said? Your testimony will reach your house before you. Wave your hands to Jesus as a sign of thanksgiving and as a sign of faith. You are also waving trouble goodbye. You are saying goodbye once and for all.
And it must wave you back. You are waving shame and reproach goodbye by the lifting up of your hands to the God who lifts men to the God who helps men. Indeed this is a lot to him. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now please let me your attention for one more minute. No moving around please. You are in this place. I want to give two sets of people an opportunity to make it right with Jesus tonight. It is impossible that you have a gathering like this without men and women who are being convicted of the spirit to make it right with Jesus. If it is a Lord's doing, remember I said it must be according to His Word and it must be consistent with His will. And the Bible says it is the desire of the Lord that all men be saved and that they come into the knowledge of the truth. There must be someone in this place on ground here and those following by way of internet television or perhaps by way of a rebroadcast.
The Lord is calling you to make it right here at this convention. I want to give you an opportunity to make it right with Jesus or number two. There are those who are saying apostle if you will give me a chance. I remember making this decision but sincerely I cannot say that my life I am working consistent with the ways of God. I have deviated for whatever reason like the prodigal son you see coming to yourself is your responsibility. The prodigal son went away spent his money on riotous living but when he came to himself the Bible says he said how many hired servants as my father and I'm here feeding with the swine. He said I will arise and I will go to my father and I will say unto him father I have seen against you and against heaven. I'm not worthy to be called your son but take me as one of your slaves. Watch this. The father never came and met him in his rot and he did not have to go home to meet his father. They met somewhere at the point of his obedience. Hallelujah. He got up and the moment he started taking his step towards his father his father began to take a step towards him and they met somewhere.
For someone here perhaps you have been coming to church were born by and from a Christian family you've been around the things of God that does not equal salvation proximity to the things of God. God does not equal salvation. The Bible says there is no other name under heaven given unto men by which we must be saved. He said this is the record that God has given us eternal life and that life is in his son. It is only he that had the son that had life not he that had church not he that had a pastor as important as that is. I want to count one to five and I want someone who is bold and sincere serious and determined to end it once and for all with Satan. You are saying apostle if you give me a chance I want to make it right and I'm not ashamed as I count one to five from the fathers of the house I want you to make your way and come and stand right in front of me here and I want to pray with you.
I'll begin my counting now. Don't wait for someone to be the first. Be bold, be strong. One. Let's celebrate them as they count. Two. If you're running run to Jesus. Run to him. Three. Oh, the overwhelming never ending. Please stand for space. You don't have to kneel stand. Come come to Jesus. Oh, I don't deserve it till you give yourself away. Oh, the overwhelming never ending. Hallelujah. Thank you very much. My dear brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for this bold decision. The Bible declares that as many who will come to him, he will in no wise cast away.
He's a noble decision. The wisest decision known to man in this side of God's kingdom to make your ways right to have peace with God and to receive peace from him. Whether you are dedicating your heart, your life to Jesus or making it the first the first time decision. Let me plead that you lift your right hand if you can as a sign of surrender. And please say this after me. Say it loud and clear. You're speaking to Jesus. Say Lord Jesus. Tonight I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart. I believe that you died for my sin. I believe that you rose again for my justification. Tonight now I receive Jesus into my heart as my Saviour, as my Lord and as my King. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life.
Tonight I am a child of God. I go forward ever and backward never. Amen. Keep your hands lifted. Father, thank you for this precious ones. But the authority of scripture. I declare your sins for giving. I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God. The grace to live the victorious Christian life. I release upon you right now. And based on the authority of scripture and your declaration, the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over your life. You walk in newness of life from now in Jesus much less than I pray. Now, please. All of you just remain where you are. I see that there are a number of counselors and officials who will be handing over a card. Please do well to have the card. Make sure you pick it and then fill it legibly as demanded with your correct details. And from there you'll be guided on what to do whether to go back to your seat or to move somewhere where you be counseled further.
But thank you very much for making this great decision. Hallelujah. Now, let me just let my voice respectfully to encourage everyone to be part of tomorrow's session. I'm going to be speaking over your life. And then I'm going to be praying for the sick in the morning. Hallelujah. So make sure that you make whatever sacrifice as much as you can make and invite everyone. If there is no space, if they have to sit on the roof, it's better to sit on the roof and be healed and be blessed. Hallelujah. So you have the responsibility to do the work of an evangelist. Let everybody know that God is moving here in this assembly in this church. For now, may the Lord bless you in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
