SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Let's turn our attention this morning to a scripture that we hope will give to us the coordinates for our discussion and our church today.
SPEAKER_01: And today we find our assignment in Galatians chapter 4.
SPEAKER_01: And we are going to read the first seven verses in our hearing today.
SPEAKER_01: Galatians chapter number 4 from verse 1 to 7.
SPEAKER_01: And the Bible says, Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is a master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the Father.
SPEAKER_01: Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
SPEAKER_01: But when the fullness of the time had come, blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
SPEAKER_01: And because you are sons, that's a good place to say amen.
SPEAKER_01: God has sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, crying out, Abba Father.
SPEAKER_01: Verse 7.
SPEAKER_01: He says, Therefore, you are no longer a slave.
SPEAKER_01: You are no longer a slave.
SPEAKER_01: Please tell your neighbor, you're no longer a slave.
SPEAKER_01: But a son.
SPEAKER_01: Tell them if you're a son, there you are an heir of God through Christ.
SPEAKER_01: This message today is for my generation.
SPEAKER_01: The primary audience today is for my generation, my fellow young people.
SPEAKER_01: I'm glad that our parents are here because they will be supporting this message in prayer.
SPEAKER_01: Because the young people of this nation and this continent, there is a time for the declaration to arise, but there is time for manifestation.
SPEAKER_01: And the time of manifestation has come.
SPEAKER_01: We want to bring a quick charge that we have titled Producing Results Through Influence.
SPEAKER_01: Producing results through influence.
SPEAKER_01: Let's pray.
SPEAKER_01: Father, thank you for the power of your word that saturates us from the inside out, bringing understanding to the simple.
SPEAKER_01: And for this cause, we ask, Holy Spirit, search for the deep things of God, reveal them to us, release the grace that makes teaching and preaching easy.
SPEAKER_01: Thank you because it will be multiplication of grace 30, 60, and a hundredfold.
SPEAKER_01: We give you all the praise and we thank you in Jesus' mighty name we pray.
SPEAKER_01: Amen.
SPEAKER_01: One more clap to the Lord Jesus and please be seated.
SPEAKER_01: God bless you.
SPEAKER_01: Changing me and changing you.
SPEAKER_01: Patient words, ever true, changing me and changing you.
SPEAKER_01: We have come with open hearts unless you when we begin our journey in Revelation chapter one, verse five to six, we see that there was a cry from John the Apostle who attempted to define to us what it means to walk in the full reality of a true believer, the unction of a true believer that is captured within these two dimensions, kingship and priesthood.
SPEAKER_01: And so John writes to us in Revelation chapter 1, verse 5, where he says that you have been made kings and priests unto our God.
SPEAKER_01: And for this passport is so that you can have dominion, not just in the now, but forevermore.
SPEAKER_01: Ladies and gentlemen, we must understand that the journey of a believer begins from the realities of priesthood.
SPEAKER_01: Priesthood is really our journey towards God.
SPEAKER_01: It is the pertinent consecrations that the believer must enter into perpetually so that we can be able to strengthen and mature our faith in Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Patterns like the patterns of prayer, the pattern of worship, the pattern of coming together in the body of Christ, as it were, the fellowship amongst the saints.
SPEAKER_01: These are our continuous practices as believers that define our priesthood.
SPEAKER_01: And when you check through the body of Christ, we have done a good job in showing believers on what it means to maximize their priesthood government.
SPEAKER_01: But John begins to say that while priesthood is key, and while priesthood is the foundation of the things that we must build upon, we must also begin to open up our hearts to the reality of kingship.
SPEAKER_01: Because priesthood secures a foundation by which kingship can stand so that the true emphasis of dominion can be made manifest.
SPEAKER_01: So, therefore, you uh it means that a believer who is a prayer warrior, an intercessor, that is a foundation of their priesthood, when you now meet them in the realities of the boardroom, for instance, they are now manifesting themselves perhaps as consultants or policymakers, releasing their kingship mandate that was birthed from their priesthood.
SPEAKER_01: Now, the secret place is a place of priesthood, but the boardroom is a place of kingship, and learning how to walk in this subsequent harmony is the key to entering into the full manifestation of being a son who is too far and away from being a slave, and therefore today we are going to trust the Lord to show us ways by which we can be able to enter into this reality of kingship and using the pathway and the blueprint of influence.
SPEAKER_01: Because influence is such an anchor, it is such an ingredient that must be captured in the life of a believer so that dominion can find expression.
SPEAKER_01: If you are still with me, please say amen.
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to share with us, therefore, there are more, but for this service, we are going to share three pathways of influence.
SPEAKER_01: And I pray as I speak to my generation today that you will be willing to tune your heart and to tune your mind because there's a cry from our parents.
SPEAKER_01: Our parents have been praying and telling the Lord, let my son, let my daughter manifest.
SPEAKER_01: It could be that today, as you navigate your young adulthood or your millennial days, that God begins to give you the secret and the anchor for the next level of your life.
SPEAKER_01: The first way by which we enter into influence is through wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Please write it down.
SPEAKER_01: Number one, influence that comes through wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Ecclesiastes chapter 7, verse 12.
SPEAKER_01: Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Ecclesiastes chapter 7 and verse 12.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this verse.
SPEAKER_01: He says, For wisdom is a defense, as money is a what?
SPEAKER_01: Is a defense.
SPEAKER_01: So both wisdom and money are defense systems.
SPEAKER_01: But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life.
SPEAKER_01: So any place you see wisdom, there is an equation of life there in.
SPEAKER_01: He says he gives life to those who have it.
SPEAKER_01: So wisdom is a womb that gives birth to a fruit called influence.
SPEAKER_01: Now, influence is a fruit.
SPEAKER_01: Wisdom is one of the wombs by which uh influence is released.
SPEAKER_01: And so the teacher, when he's writing these scriptures, he is attempting to show us the journey that enters us into the life that comes from the wisdom that works upon us.
SPEAKER_01: Because wisdom is the principal thing.
SPEAKER_01: Now we are going to pick a few scriptures just to buttress again on this point from the life of Esther.
SPEAKER_01: Because when you study the life of Esther, you notice that her life is truly a scoreboard of various nuggets of wisdom as to how she was able to penetrate the realities of where she found herself, especially in the palace, being able to uh find her space as she manifests greatly to ensure that the plight of the Jews is saved.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, uh please come with me very quickly from Esther chapter 5, Esther chapter 5, and verse 1.
SPEAKER_01: Because Esther chapter 5 again is a full scoreboard of wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Esther chapter 5.
SPEAKER_01: Now you'll be so blessed that you came.
SPEAKER_01: At the end of this message, the spirit of the Lord will overshadow you.
SPEAKER_01: Esther chapter 5.
SPEAKER_01: The word of the Lord brings light.
SPEAKER_01: Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes.
SPEAKER_01: Now, can we do a quick mini Bible study?
SPEAKER_01: Is that okay?
SPEAKER_01: Now, on the third day, Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace.
SPEAKER_01: And from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne, in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.
SPEAKER_01: Look at that verse one more time.
SPEAKER_01: Just verse one.
SPEAKER_01: He says that after the third day, Esther comes.
SPEAKER_01: Now, the first, oh my God, the first ingredient of wisdom is what we call sight wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Sight wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: The ability to know how to appear before the king.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this.
SPEAKER_01: For those of us who have taken time to study the book of Esther, you will notice that in chapter 4, it was truly a time of prayer and fasting.
SPEAKER_01: Where Esther, together with her maidens, joined by Mordecai and the entire Jew's fraternity, have taken time to pray for those three days with sackclothes so that they can ensure that they changed the heart of the king pertaining to the matters of her man.
SPEAKER_01: But look at what the Bible says.
SPEAKER_01: It is now on the third day that she changed her sacclothes and wore a royal robe simply because he's standing in the king's palace.
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is the key.
SPEAKER_01: Wear the sackclothes in the secret place, but don your robe when you stand before the king.
SPEAKER_01: Let me say it one more time.
SPEAKER_01: Wear the sackclothes in the secret place.
SPEAKER_01: But when you stand before the king, you must don yourself with a robe.
SPEAKER_01: Reverend Simon, this is a burden because one of our young people missed a job opportunity because he showed up in an interview panel with crocs.
SPEAKER_01: I assure you, he's one of our most powerful prayer warriors.
SPEAKER_01: He might even be here.
SPEAKER_01: So the mistake is not that he was not a powerful warrior.
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure he sees angels in the night.
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure he has seen Jacob's ladder in the midnight hour of his sleep.
SPEAKER_01: But when you stand before King Ahazaras, King Ahazaras has no regard for sackloads.
SPEAKER_01: These are hidden places that you have with God.
SPEAKER_01: But when you stand before the king, the power of wisdom, this sight wisdom, is to know how to operate in various corridors and to know the garment that you need when you stand before great men who can change your life.
SPEAKER_01: You know, I have taken time to study the fashion style of Jesus, and I noticed that even the soldiers at the cross needed to bargain on his clothes.
SPEAKER_01: Jesus was a fashion icon.
SPEAKER_01: So much so that they divided his garments.
SPEAKER_01: And when they got to the undergarment, the Bible says that it was seamless, woven, without seam, meaning it was not on.
SPEAKER_01: So if you're sitting next to a young person, please look at them gracefully and ask them, is your undergarment on?
SPEAKER_01: If you say yes, please, mom, just lay hand on your son.
SPEAKER_01: Sight wisdom, ability to know what robe.
SPEAKER_01: When you look at Genesis chapter 41 and verse 14, look at that verse, Genesis 41 and verse 14.
SPEAKER_01: Genesis 41 and verse 14.
SPEAKER_01: He says, And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph.
SPEAKER_01: They brought him quickly out of the dungeon.
SPEAKER_01: What did he do?
SPEAKER_01: He shaved and changed clothing and then came before Pharaoh.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: Because Pharaoh is allergic to long hair.
SPEAKER_01: You must know how to adorn yourself when you stand before Pharaoh.
SPEAKER_01: Now, nothing wrong about dreads, but there is a level you get.
SPEAKER_01: You know, I started off as a hype man.
SPEAKER_01: I was a dancer.
SPEAKER_01: And in those days, the mark of being a hype man was long hair, ragged hair.
SPEAKER_01: It was a showcase of how powerful you are when you stand before people.
SPEAKER_01: Now, one time the Holy Spirit came and told me, shave.
SPEAKER_01: And you know, if you don't listen, he will ensure that that day the only thing you see on the street are salons and barbershops just to confirm to you that the time has come.
SPEAKER_01: Change of garment comes with change of seasons.
SPEAKER_01: I'm saying change of garments comes with change of season.
SPEAKER_01: And not just the physical garment, but also the garment that covers your mind.
SPEAKER_01: The questions you are asking in 2026 should have been graduated.
SPEAKER_01: The question you asked in 2020 should not be the question you are asking in 2026.
SPEAKER_01: If you are still on the same rim, it means that the garment of your mind has not been adjusted.
SPEAKER_01: And if you are going to handle the deep matters, as Paul will say, the heavier matters of this word, then it comes with change of garment.
SPEAKER_01: Esther applied wisdom by knowing how to adorn herself when she stands before the king.
SPEAKER_01: The second level of wisdom is what we call taste wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Taste wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Esther chapter 5, verse 6.
SPEAKER_01: Taste wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: There are many things that will be given to you when you stand before the king.
SPEAKER_01: He says, At the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, What is your petition?
SPEAKER_01: It shall be granted you.
SPEAKER_01: What is your request?
SPEAKER_01: Up to half the kingdom, it shall be given to you.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this.
SPEAKER_01: Esther was in the presence of wine, but she knew how not to defile herself with that which comes from the table of the king.
SPEAKER_01: You see, the reason why sometimes we will go through the process of the wilderness is so that God can check our appetite so that we are not defiled at the places of influence.
SPEAKER_01: The reason why allow the king to take his wine because that is what makes his heart to go merry.
SPEAKER_01: But Esther knew that even though I'm part of the banquet, this is not my delicacy.
SPEAKER_01: Because Esther knew that there is something, oh my goodness, Esther knew that there is something deeper than wine.
SPEAKER_01: Perhaps she might have read the scriptures in Song of Songs chapter 1 verse 2.
SPEAKER_01: Song of Songs chapter 1 verse 2, where scripture says that your love is more delightful than wine.
SPEAKER_01: There is something more powerful than wine.
SPEAKER_01: Now, both wine and love can make you to be intoxicated.
SPEAKER_01: It's just that one is on the extreme of God.
SPEAKER_01: So he says, I have the love of the Father, so I don't need to take the wine from the table of the king.
SPEAKER_01: Because the love of the father has configured my heart, and therefore I can say no to the wine that comes from the king.
SPEAKER_01: Taste wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: You see, as God opens doors for us to step into nations and to different cultures, we'll be saturated by many options that come from the ambiences of the palace.
SPEAKER_01: It is a heightened time for a young person to arise and say that while the world has gotten itself into all kinds of defilement, this body, this body that the Lord has given me is onto righteousness.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, my spirit, body, and soul shall remain blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Those are the kinds of young people that God will use in this season.
SPEAKER_01: I have not defiled my mind and my body because this body was not meant for anything that should come against what God is doing upon my life.
SPEAKER_01: It comes with the many choices that we must make.
SPEAKER_01: I'm speaking to my generation today as I touch the grace upon our Father who is seated here.
SPEAKER_01: I speak to you by the Spirit of the living God.
SPEAKER_01: There is a place where we must make the right choices because it is in those right choices where God opens more doors so that we can bring in this harvest.
SPEAKER_01: The choices we make will determine the levels we get to with God.
SPEAKER_01: Somebody tonight is going to arise and finally text that girlfriend and tell her, Go ye therefore.
SPEAKER_01: My destiny is calling.
SPEAKER_01: Regulation of what?
SPEAKER_01: Appetites is part of wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Let me give you one more on this anchor of wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Speech wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: All this is wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Speech wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: When you look at Esther chapter 5, verse 8, Esther knows how to navigate the heart of the king by knowing what to say.
SPEAKER_01: Speech wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Esther chapter 5, verse 6, he says, If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and her man come to the banquet which I will prepare for them.
SPEAKER_01: Now, look at that verse one more time.
SPEAKER_01: He says, If I have found favor, look at the rhythm of language.
SPEAKER_01: If it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request.
SPEAKER_01: Now, Reverend Simon, we took time to study the difference between petition and request within the context of this verse.
SPEAKER_01: And it is amazing.
SPEAKER_01: It it baffles us to see that when Esther says my petition, petition is that which pertains to her community.
SPEAKER_01: But request is that which pertains to her personal needs.
SPEAKER_01: Because when you stand before the king, you must have a double ask.
SPEAKER_01: It must be petition, that is for the people you've been called to serve.
SPEAKER_01: But ensure that you also have requests that touch on your personal need.
SPEAKER_01: If if we had time, we will go to the book of Nehemiah and you will see that when Nehemiah asked for the beams and the cedars from King Ataxah so that he can be able to rebuild the wall, he also says, Also give me timber to build my own house.
SPEAKER_01: Because it is by building your own house that you are also able to build others.
SPEAKER_01: The benevolence that comes from the king is to hit the petition, community needs, and requests, personal needs.
SPEAKER_01: All that must be captured within your speech.
SPEAKER_01: It's called wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Please shout amen.
SPEAKER_01: Influence through wisdom, patient words, ever true, changing me and changing you.
SPEAKER_01: We have come with open hands, holy words.
SPEAKER_01: The first is influence through wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Number two is influence through people.
SPEAKER_01: Wisdom is a womb that gives birth to influence.
SPEAKER_01: What is the second womb that gives birth to influence?
SPEAKER_01: Is the ability to navigate the different relationships and networks within your life.
SPEAKER_01: Let's learn from the book of Luke, chapter 6, verse 38.
SPEAKER_01: Look at the book of Luke 6, and verse 38.
SPEAKER_01: Luke chapter 6, and verse 38.
SPEAKER_01: He says, give, and it will be given to you.
SPEAKER_01: Perhaps let's take this verse from NIV if you can.
SPEAKER_01: NIV Bible.
SPEAKER_01: Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: NIV Bible, if you have it.
SPEAKER_01: He says, give, and it will be given to you.
SPEAKER_01: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap.
SPEAKER_01: For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
SPEAKER_01: Now, look at Nehemiah chapter 1, verse 11.
SPEAKER_01: Luke talks about receiving from the different kinds of people that have been sent for you.
SPEAKER_01: One man who was able to walk in this kind of influence was Nehemiah.
SPEAKER_01: Now, in chapter 1 of the book of Nehemiah, he receives a report.
SPEAKER_01: Hanania comes to Nehemiah and he tells Nehemiah that the walls of Jerusalem have been broken and the gates have been burned with fire.
SPEAKER_01: And scriptures will show us that when Nehemiah received the report, he determines to prostrate himself before the Lord in the place of prayer and petition, so much so that almost 70% of Nehemiah chapter 1 is covered by the prayer that Nehemiah made.
SPEAKER_01: It is at the end of that prayer where we find this verse, where Nehemiah now knows that once I have prayed on to God, I also have to understand that there are specific agents that God will send my way so that I'm able to fit into the purposes of God.
SPEAKER_01: Now he concludes his prayer by saying this in verse 11.
SPEAKER_01: He says, Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this, your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at that part.
SPEAKER_01: This is one of the most important critical verses in Hemai chapter 1.
SPEAKER_01: He says, And give your servant what?
SPEAKER_01: Come on, church, give your servant what today.
SPEAKER_01: How will that success come?
SPEAKER_01: By granting him favor.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Let me prophesy to somebody today in the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: In this post-jubile season, may you walk in every level of favor.
SPEAKER_01: You know, this is an altar that declares favor upon the nations.
SPEAKER_01: So one more time, I declare to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may your success be granted to you through the favor that God brings into your life.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, shout a big amen.
SPEAKER_01: He says, In the presence of this man.
SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
SPEAKER_01: Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Now, uh, Dixon just come uh with the permission of our father.
SPEAKER_01: Let me demonstrate something.
SPEAKER_01: Come quickly.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this.
SPEAKER_01: Are you being blessed?
SPEAKER_01: This is Youth Sunday.
SPEAKER_01: Thank you for having us.
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is a king.
SPEAKER_01: Does he look like a king?
SPEAKER_01: Now, king, just stand here.
SPEAKER_01: Act like a king, stand like a king.
SPEAKER_01: No, don't be stiff, just stand.
SPEAKER_01: Nehemiah desires to serve the purposes of God, but he knows that there is an agent that can unlock the resources that he needs.
SPEAKER_01: He includes that in his prayer.
SPEAKER_01: Everything that was written was written for our learning.
SPEAKER_01: This was a cry of Paul in Romans chapter 15, verse 7, where he says that things, these things were written for our learning, so that through the comfort of scripture we might find hope.
SPEAKER_01: The king has many things that Nehemiah needs.
SPEAKER_01: This is a treasure that he must get from him.
SPEAKER_01: The quintessential question, therefore, ladies and gentlemen, is how do I unlock the heart of the king so that that which is in his view can be given unto me.
SPEAKER_01: The challenge, therefore, is not the knowledge of the agent that God has sent for you.
SPEAKER_01: I may know that this is a CEO who has been sent for me.
SPEAKER_01: This is a colleague in my office who has been sent for me.
SPEAKER_01: This is the spouse that God graciously gave to me.
SPEAKER_01: The knowledge of the agent is a present reality.
SPEAKER_01: The challenge is to know how to receive from the agent that you have come to know.
SPEAKER_01: The question is, how do you receive from the people that God has already paraded upon your life?
SPEAKER_01: We learn this from Nehemiah.
SPEAKER_01: Now, the first thing we see from Nehemiah in terms of knowing how to unlock the heart of the king, because also kings have needs.
SPEAKER_01: They are also looking for people who can satisfy their needs.
SPEAKER_01: So, how do you get the attention so that they can at least deflate away from their needs for a moment and attend to that which concerns you?
SPEAKER_01: We learn that pathway from Nehemiah.
SPEAKER_01: The first thing that we see indicated in this verse is that the Bible says that Nehemiah was a cupbearer, meaning that the first way by which you unlock the heart of the agent that has been sent to serve you is through the power of service.
SPEAKER_01: Service is powerful.
SPEAKER_01: Let me speak to my generation because this is a receiving generation.
SPEAKER_01: You know, we love to tap into the anointing of the men and women of God who have been called to us.
SPEAKER_01: Now don't focus on tap anymore, tap is for water.
SPEAKER_01: Get knowledge.
SPEAKER_01: Service is powerful.
SPEAKER_01: It took three and a half years for Jesus to look at Peter and tell him, You can now feed my lambs.
SPEAKER_01: Simply because even though Peter vacillated in all kinds of weaknesses, he was still pertinent to serve the ministry of Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Service is an opener, it opens the heart of the person that can bless you.
SPEAKER_01: Service.
SPEAKER_01: The second way by which you open the heart of this agent, as we see it in Hemiah, is through the power of covenant.
SPEAKER_01: You can covenant yourself to the person that God has sent you away so much so that the connection through covenant ensures that resources come to you.
SPEAKER_01: This is true even between a spiritual mentor and a mentee who is attempting to walk in the reality of that anointing.
SPEAKER_01: We see this when we come to the end of the um the life of Moses in the last chapter of the book of Deuteronomy.
SPEAKER_01: We see how one young man by the name of Joshua was able to receive by covenant from Moses.
SPEAKER_01: And the Bible says that when the 30 days of mourning had come to an end from the death of Moses, Joshua now arose.
SPEAKER_01: Why did he arise?
SPEAKER_01: It's because he had received the spirit of wisdom that came to him by the laying on of hands from Moses.
SPEAKER_01: There was a transfer by covenant, so much so that scriptures will tell us that even the nation of Israel hearkened unto Joshua because there was a release of covenant between him and Moses.
SPEAKER_01: Moses is dead, but there was a release that came to Joshua.
SPEAKER_01: He's now operating in the spirit of wisdom, and he received it from the virtuals of the covenant that he had with Moses.
SPEAKER_01: So that there is a divine transfer.
SPEAKER_01: That's why even marriage is a covenant, because there is a release that comes to the spouse God gave you from the reality of covenant.
SPEAKER_01: When I got married, we are now celebrating, we've been married for for many years, two years.
SPEAKER_01: I noticed, Reverend Simon, that after three months, our ministry began to expand.
SPEAKER_01: Now, before I met my wife, I had tried everything, and that everything worked for that season.
SPEAKER_01: I now realize that whoever finds a wife obtains favor.
SPEAKER_01: It took time for me to notice that that favor came through the reality of that covenant.
SPEAKER_01: One time, um, or before, before we got married, I will go to places and meetings, and sometimes I will not be received accordingly simply because I'm a young person, some would ask, How old are you?
SPEAKER_01: Um, some will even go to the deepness of your background, some will even be so tribal that they only define you based on where you are coming from.
SPEAKER_01: But after that covenant was released, I went back in some of those places and I noticed that the people would receive me well.
SPEAKER_01: And one time I asked that gentleman, How comes you are welcoming us so well?
SPEAKER_01: He said, It's because you came with your wife.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, from that day I go with my wife everywhere, even if she's not going to say anything, let her be there.
SPEAKER_01: Because that is by covenant.
SPEAKER_01: The third way by which you are knocked the heart is food.
SPEAKER_01: Food.
SPEAKER_01: Please shout food.
SPEAKER_01: There is a young man in scripture who was blessed because the father Isaac summoned him to get game meat for him.
SPEAKER_01: He said, Prepare for me venison so that I can bless you.
SPEAKER_01: And you know, venison has is more qualified than than beef meat because venison, number one, it cooks quickly, number two, it is lean, not too much fat, and then number three, dries out so easily.
SPEAKER_01: So you can keep it for many days.
SPEAKER_01: He says, This is a kind of food that will help me bless you.
SPEAKER_01: So after this service, there is a teenager who is going to prepare a meal for their family tonight.
SPEAKER_01: Listen carefully.
SPEAKER_01: You're going to prepare a meal tonight, you're going to lay it on the dinner table, and before you serve that meal, you're going to look at your father and mother and you tell them, Thank you for beating traffic every Monday morning so that we can have food to eat.
SPEAKER_01: This meal is a token of my honor, is a way to appreciate the sacrifices that you have made over the years.
SPEAKER_01: Now, your dad might look at you and ask you, is it that you don't have homework?
SPEAKER_01: But when you when he goes back to his room when when he is praying, he will say, My son has come to age.
SPEAKER_01: If you're below the age of 18, please stand up.
SPEAKER_01: Please stand up, please stand up.
SPEAKER_01: Can we appreciate them?
SPEAKER_01: Come on, church, let's appreciate this generation.
SPEAKER_01: My fellow brothers and sisters, as you're standing, can I give you an instruction?
SPEAKER_01: Between now and Sunday, go to the kitchen.
SPEAKER_01: God, there is a grace that will come on the food you will make.
SPEAKER_01: Don't worry, even if you burn the food, the parents will receive it with thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_01: Prepare a meal.
SPEAKER_01: I just feel so strongly that God is going to use that meal this week to connect a son and a father in a very special way.
SPEAKER_01: Because uh, if if food made a father to bless a son, could it be that a conversation will shift this week because of this simple instruction?
SPEAKER_01: Some simple instructions have preeminence that produces so much possibility.
SPEAKER_01: Now you're going to decide between now and Sunday because you're going back to school very soon, so it must be this week.
SPEAKER_01: You're going to go to a superstore or supermarket.
SPEAKER_01: If you don't have money, be creative on how to get that money.
SPEAKER_01: Buy some ingredients.
SPEAKER_01: Now, prepare a meal that will make your parents feel agile.
SPEAKER_01: Look for the thing that can bless their heart.
SPEAKER_01: Prepare it with diligence.
SPEAKER_01: Lay it before them and ask them to bless you.
SPEAKER_01: Please have a seat.
SPEAKER_01: Influence through people.
SPEAKER_01: Reverend Simon is amazing that Jesus also knew how to navigate the complexities of his discipleship group.
SPEAKER_01: Because he had all kinds of characters.
SPEAKER_01: He had Peter, who is an extreme sanguine.
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes he says, I want to be with you.
SPEAKER_01: At times he's cutting off people's ears.
SPEAKER_01: What kind of a disciple is that?
SPEAKER_01: Well, he's trying to recover from the weakness of Peter.
SPEAKER_01: Judas comes in, stealing quietly, even though he's a treasurer.
SPEAKER_01: And Jesus still committed resources with the knowledge that this person is not faithful.
SPEAKER_01: Add to the equation of Thomas, the one who doubts every possibility.
SPEAKER_01: He says, I must see it for me to believe.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, don't you remember Bartholomew?
SPEAKER_01: He first started his name by being called Nathaniel.
SPEAKER_01: That when he heard that there is Jesus who is just about to be released, he says, Can anything good come out of Nazareth?
SPEAKER_01: Because Nathaniel was had such a powerful mind, he studied and devoured the books.
SPEAKER_01: And he had an indication to know what happened in Nazareth.
SPEAKER_01: He must have studied Samson, who is one of the Nazarenes.
SPEAKER_01: And he knew how the story of Samson ended.
SPEAKER_01: So when he heard that there is another savior coming from Nazareth, he says, nothing good can come out of Nazareth.
SPEAKER_01: And Jesus still called him to be part of his discipleship group.
SPEAKER_01: How do you walk with Peter, Judas, Thomas, and Nathaniel with all kinds of different personalities?
SPEAKER_01: Jesus knew how to unlock.
SPEAKER_01: You see, that can be a configuration of a board that you sit in.
SPEAKER_01: If you look carefully, you will notice that in a board there is a Peter.
SPEAKER_01: You will notice in a community there is always a Thomas.
SPEAKER_01: He's not a bad person, but for him to believe, he must seed first.
SPEAKER_01: These are people who avoid risks.
SPEAKER_01: I have to see the accounts falling in place first for me even to make a full investment.
SPEAKER_01: It's just a showcase of their personality.
SPEAKER_01: And Jesus, for three and a half years, walks with this group and yet he was able to unlock every possibility.
SPEAKER_01: In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in this season, may God give you the reality of influence to know what material to use to unlock the gifts that come from the agents that God has sent you.
SPEAKER_01: May God use the platform of your service.
SPEAKER_01: May God use the platform of covenant.
SPEAKER_01: For some of us, it will come through that platform of gifts where you know how to gift people accordingly.
SPEAKER_01: I read a verse in the book of Psalms that says, When you stand before a great man, make sure that you bear gifts before them.
SPEAKER_01: No going to them empty-handed, including a spiritual father who is able to bless you.
SPEAKER_01: Let me speak to my generation one more time.
SPEAKER_01: Some things must come by sacrifice.
SPEAKER_01: And you know, our fathers, when they are blessing us, they know when they have truly blessed a son.
SPEAKER_01: They know it.
SPEAKER_01: And you'll see a man of God summoning a young man to the altar to be prayed for.
SPEAKER_01: And the young man walks casually, chewing gum, casualness in the presence of God.
SPEAKER_01: And you know the man of God will only pray a simple prayer.
SPEAKER_01: And he will say, Lord, help that young man.
SPEAKER_01: But deeply he's feeling like Jesus in Nazareth, where he says there was power to heal, but he could only lay his hands on a few people.
SPEAKER_01: But when you enter into a rhythm of sacrifice where you know that some things can only be received by the depth of your sacrifice, including the things you have given God that no one will know.
SPEAKER_01: You see, when you see some possibilities coming, even in some communities and in some families, when you check and you have an opportunity to preview their lives, you will notice that there are some depths of sacrifice that has come through their lives.
SPEAKER_01: And it seems that they continue to sow for many years simply because their sacrifice continues to speak.
SPEAKER_01: Influence through people.
SPEAKER_01: My generation today receives the grace of God that will help you to navigate every complex situation.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Let's go to the last one.
SPEAKER_01: Who is like you?
SPEAKER_01: Oh God, who is like you the wheel of who you are.
SPEAKER_01: No us can carry who is like you, oh God.
SPEAKER_01: Who is like you?
SPEAKER_01: Are you ready for the third one and last one?
SPEAKER_01: Number one was influence through wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Number two, influence through people.
SPEAKER_01: Number three, it is influence through the bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: Somebody's eyes will open now.
SPEAKER_01: Influence through the bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: Psalms 145, verse 1 to 4.
SPEAKER_01: Let's work on that scripture.
SPEAKER_01: Influence through the bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: The bloodline is a womb that releases influence.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at what the Bible says.
SPEAKER_01: I will exalt you, my God, the King.
SPEAKER_01: I will praise your name forever and ever.
SPEAKER_01: Every day I will praise you and extol your name forever and ever.
SPEAKER_01: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.
SPEAKER_01: His greatness no one can fathom.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at verse 4.
SPEAKER_01: Can we read verse 4 together in unison?
SPEAKER_01: One generation commends your works to another.
SPEAKER_01: What do they do?
SPEAKER_01: They tell of your mighty acts.
SPEAKER_01: One more time.
SPEAKER_01: One generation commends your works to another.
SPEAKER_01: They tell of your mighty acts.
SPEAKER_01: Now we'll be back to this scripture in a moment.
SPEAKER_01: But look at Genesis 26, 1 to 5.
SPEAKER_01: Genesis chapter 26, 1 to 5.
SPEAKER_01: We are laying context for this third point.
SPEAKER_01: Genesis 26 from verse 1 to 5.
SPEAKER_01: Now we are introduced to a famine in the land.
SPEAKER_01: And he says that there was also a previous famine in Abraham's time.
SPEAKER_01: Now Abraham is long gone.
SPEAKER_01: We are now in the days of Isaac.
SPEAKER_01: Isaac finds himself in a famine.
SPEAKER_01: The Bible says that that same famine was also captured in the days of Abraham.
SPEAKER_01: So Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines in Gerah.
SPEAKER_01: And the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, Do not go down to Egypt.
SPEAKER_01: Live in the land where I tell you to live.
SPEAKER_01: Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you.
SPEAKER_01: For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath.
SPEAKER_01: Now, who is he speaking to?
SPEAKER_01: Isaac, but he's mentioning an oath that he instituted through the life of Abraham.
SPEAKER_01: He says, I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring, all nations will be blessed.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at verse 5.
SPEAKER_01: He says, Because of Abraham, and because he obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands.
SPEAKER_01: Look at those three levels: commands, decrees, and my instructions.
SPEAKER_01: For that reason, I will bless you, Isaac.
SPEAKER_01: Now let me demonstrate it further.
SPEAKER_01: Um, let me have come, come, come, Jackson, if you can.
SPEAKER_01: Um please come.
SPEAKER_01: Just come.
SPEAKER_01: Please appreciate them.
SPEAKER_01: Let me show you something.
SPEAKER_01: Just go up one staircase.
SPEAKER_01: Now, Jackson, just stand here.
SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much.
SPEAKER_01: Just stand here.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this.
SPEAKER_01: And who is this?
SPEAKER_01: Jacob.
SPEAKER_01: He says he's the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
SPEAKER_01: Now, God comes to Isaac and he says, There is something that happened in the life of your father that I'm still preview to.
SPEAKER_01: And because of how he lived, because of his mighty works and his expression of faith, I will also bless you from the bank of his life.
SPEAKER_01: Same thing happened with Jacob.
SPEAKER_01: Jacob continues to manifest because he's coming from a platform of who Isaac was.
SPEAKER_01: So when you see Jacob manifesting, is because he's standing upon the foundation that was built by Isaac.
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god! And the foundation that was built by Abraham.
SPEAKER_01: Now, it is with Abraham that God releases the promise.
SPEAKER_01: It is with Isaac that God incubates the promise.
SPEAKER_01: But it was with Jacob that he multiplies the blessing.
SPEAKER_01: That is why he had 12 sons.
SPEAKER_01: The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
SPEAKER_01: So the assignment for the generation of Abraham is to receive the promise.
SPEAKER_01: That's why he needed to move from his father's house because there are specific environments where you can be able to download the instructions of God.
SPEAKER_01: Anytime you see God moving you from one house to another, from one village to another, from one city to another, is because he is giving you an opportunity to enter into a new environment for new downloads.
SPEAKER_01: So he says, Abraham, leave your father's household.
SPEAKER_01: You have lived enough in this place, but if you're going to be a father of many nations, you will need to be in an environment where you can be able to receive the instructions for the season.
SPEAKER_01: Somebody in the next 30 days is going to be relocated to a new place because the instructions that must come.
SPEAKER_01: So sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, we don't move workplaces because we are looking for more money.
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we move our workplaces because we want to hear from God based on the season we have entered into.
SPEAKER_01: Now, the resources will come because the Bible says that he was flooded with cattle and sheep.
SPEAKER_01: And sometimes we must be willing to say goodbye to your household because the instruction that I'm craving for must come in my new environment.
SPEAKER_01: Now, Isaac is now introduced from the sequence of Abraham.
SPEAKER_01: And the Bible says that there was a challenge of a famine, but he kept it.
SPEAKER_01: The generation of Isaac is to hold on to the promise until another generation arises so that they can commit that promise to them.
SPEAKER_01: And now Jacob has the fortitude to bear much sons.
SPEAKER_01: So that now the promise that God gave Abraham could be multiplied from the 12 sons to the 12 tribes to the extensions of the world.
SPEAKER_01: Now look at this.
SPEAKER_01: There is a way you can know where God has called you in a place of influence by studying your bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: You can be able to study your bloodline and know with precision where God has called you to be.
SPEAKER_01: Now, let me give a personal example.
SPEAKER_01: This August, this August, September, it will be five years since I became the youth pastor of our beloved church.
SPEAKER_01: It's been five years by God's grace.
SPEAKER_01: Now in 2021, and you know, um I struggled much because um I really wanted to be a dancer until I'm 80 years old.
SPEAKER_01: I I even wanted to start a dance school and be dancing until I see Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Because I knew that was a platform that God gave me.
SPEAKER_01: Because in our days, uh many people are healed from the dances that we lifted.
SPEAKER_01: It got to a place where dance became worship for us.
SPEAKER_01: We have recorded testimonies where we went to some church services and people are healed miraculously from a point of connection with what we were releasing from the altar.
SPEAKER_01: When the call came, and I said, Lord, are you sure?
SPEAKER_01: You know, there is a way you receive a call to serve God, and you have, you give God many options of other brothers and sisters who are within your community.
SPEAKER_01: And I said, Lord, check for brother so and so.
SPEAKER_01: He looks more like uh like a he has more pastoral acumen than I do.
SPEAKER_01: And in the moments of prayer, the Lord told me, Um, study your background because in it you will find comfort.
SPEAKER_01: So I went deeper and I began to search through my family, and I landed on my great great-grandmother, the mother to my grandfather.
SPEAKER_01: He was a deep woman who had who had certain it her life to follow Jesus in every way, committed her resources to serve the Lord.
SPEAKER_01: Now, after she left the scene, my grandfather came.
SPEAKER_01: He hosted missionaries from Europe, hosted missionaries from the US.
SPEAKER_01: He was an evangelist, he would ride on his bike.
SPEAKER_01: Those days they used to call them black members.
SPEAKER_01: He would step on his bike and he moved to almost every county in this nation with bearing the name of preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to anyone who cares to listen.
SPEAKER_01: And then here comes my mom, who is a powerful intercessor.
SPEAKER_01: And you know, when my mom prays for us, she doesn't tell us.
SPEAKER_01: We only see results.
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we are making a choice and then we notice that things don't work, and then when we tell her, she tells she tells us, is because I prayed.
SPEAKER_01: Powerful intercessor.
SPEAKER_01: The reason why our ministry cannot fail is because we can stand alone on an elevated pulpit.
SPEAKER_01: But make no mistake, because there is Abraham, there is Isaac, and there is Jacob.
SPEAKER_01: So Amoni aligning, because when I looked at my family tree, I also saw that there are two possibilities that God released in my family: the ministry unction.
SPEAKER_01: So we have a line of evangelists and missionaries coming from our family tree, and also the acumen of business, the realities of the marketplace.
SPEAKER_01: So even the uncles and the aunties in my family who have gotten to high levels of influence are either in what we call the fivefold ministry or in the realities of business.
SPEAKER_01: Because these are the two rivers that flow within my family.
SPEAKER_01: So any son or daughter who aligns into these two, they have the preeminence and the unction upon their lives to succeed.
SPEAKER_01: Because from Psalms 145, verse 4, it says, One generation shall commend its works, because this is a relay.
SPEAKER_01: You can't step into the stage and configure your level of influence.
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes you will have to bank on what has been done and who went before you, and from the strength of that foundation, you can be critical to serve the Lord.
SPEAKER_01: So when we began this work, first the first comment that I ever received, and that comment really pierced my heart.
SPEAKER_01: I was so broken for almost two weeks because a lady came to me and told me, I now hear you are a pastor.
SPEAKER_01: You can never be a pastor who has been raised up by a single mom.
SPEAKER_01: That thing broke my heart.
SPEAKER_01: And in all their prayers, you go back and tell the Lord, I can't do this anymore.
SPEAKER_01: And in the challenge of the moment, God comes and tells you, Isaac, you're also in a famine.
SPEAKER_01: That famine was created by the scourging tongues that came from others.
SPEAKER_01: But don't you remember that you're coming from the line of Abraham?
SPEAKER_01: Don't you remember that this began with Abraham?
SPEAKER_01: Release to you, Isaac, if you drop it, Jacob will not manifest.
SPEAKER_01: And if Jacob, if you drop it, Joseph cannot manifest.
SPEAKER_01: Is that relay?
SPEAKER_01: My generation, the reason why we honor our parents is because they have fought some battles.
SPEAKER_01: It's because they are carrying possibilities that very soon we too will be in the seed where they shall hand over those pilots, they shall hand over those files.
SPEAKER_01: And if you don't learn to honor them, there will be a disconnect between you and the thing that was supposed to be passed to you.
SPEAKER_01: There are families that bear the unction of government.
SPEAKER_01: From grade one, it seems that that child was a leader.
SPEAKER_01: And when you track back, you notice that the grandfather was a key leader within their community.
SPEAKER_01: Could it be that now God calls that child to perpetually honor the parent who is supposed to release continuously that possibility so that there will be no end to their glory?
SPEAKER_01: This is how it works.
SPEAKER_01: And I have learned that even when our grandfathers, because now my grandfather is with the Lord, it will be one year this October, when he went to be with the Lord, I knew that there was a shift that has come.
SPEAKER_01: And the Lord told me that even though he has left the ground where he stepped, still keeps records of his sacrifice.
SPEAKER_01: Listen carefully to what God is saying today.
SPEAKER_01: If there is one thing that has definite memory that can never forget the sacrifices of God's people is this physical ground.
SPEAKER_01: That's why when God wants the nation of Israel to take over different kinds of lands, he says, step your feet.
SPEAKER_01: There is a mysterious connection between your feet and the ground.
SPEAKER_01: So my grandfather went to almost every county preaching the word of the Lord.
SPEAKER_01: Part of his concert community was Maasai Land.
SPEAKER_01: Deep in Narrow County, deep in Kajado County.
SPEAKER_01: And guess what?
SPEAKER_01: Right now, one of the counties that continues to open perpetually for the ministry that my wife and I are doing now is those two counties.
SPEAKER_01: I now realize it's because my grandfather had to walk there fast.
SPEAKER_01: So when we now show up in that land, it must open because there is a file that is open in the spirit.
SPEAKER_01: And he says, the one who is coming bears the marks of Abraham.
SPEAKER_01: There is a record of his sacrifice.
SPEAKER_01: So how can you dishonor your parents?
SPEAKER_01: When you know that it is for your own gain.
SPEAKER_01: It was a cry of Paul when he says, honor your father.
SPEAKER_01: And this includes biological fathers and also spiritual fathers.
SPEAKER_01: Because God is so keen that if you don't find it on your physical bloodline, you can find it on your spiritual bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: Because you have two bloodlines you have the biological bloodline, there are possibilities there.
SPEAKER_01: But also, if there is a gap of anything that was not true in your life, you can align to the spiritual bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: We are coming from a very deep spiritual heritage under Parklands Baptist Church.
SPEAKER_01: For instance, this is a um an African map on this altar.
SPEAKER_01: It means that one of the actions that comes from this altar is the ability to take nations.
SPEAKER_01: So your business should not be limited to a village.
SPEAKER_01: You see, you are part of a spiritual bloodline.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, give your clap your hands and give Jesus praise.
SPEAKER_01: So this spiritual bloodline says that we start in Kenya, but we look at Africa.
SPEAKER_01: So it means that your consultancy business can start in one floor in CBD, but in the next 10-12 years, you have consultancies in South Africa, you have consultancy services in New Zealand to the ends of the earth.
SPEAKER_01: And guess what?
SPEAKER_01: The reason why God will ensure you do that is because your business has now become a bridge for resources to come back to the kingdom.
SPEAKER_01: So that when our pastor stands on this altar and says we must plant 300 churches in the next 10 years, you can stand and tell our father, that is the end of that announcement.
SPEAKER_01: Here are the resources.
SPEAKER_01: Now, every spiritual heritage has its own weaknesses.
SPEAKER_01: Because even in the context of the discipleship group that Jesus had, the disciples had weaknesses therein.
SPEAKER_01: But that does not derail the possibilities of receiving.
SPEAKER_01: This heritage can has a full argumentation of ownership.
SPEAKER_01: We were so moved when our father shared how we got this land, 10 acres of land.
SPEAKER_01: When we got that word, Reverend Simon, in the youth sanctuary, we now began to pray for ownership.
SPEAKER_01: We now said that everyone in the youth ministry must own land before they are 30 years.
SPEAKER_01: It's our spiritual heritage.
SPEAKER_01: Because we have also come to realize that land is a redemption strategy.
SPEAKER_01: If you don't own that piece of land, another altar will be mounted there.
SPEAKER_01: What would happen if every building where there is an exchange and every kind of immorality within our city?
SPEAKER_01: What will happen if believers own those buildings?
SPEAKER_01: We don't even need to pray.
SPEAKER_01: We can receive it by ownership.
SPEAKER_01: There are things we receive when we pray, but that prayer now leads us to the heritage of ownership.
SPEAKER_01: It's our heritage.
SPEAKER_01: Reverend Simon, I see very soon that you'll be commissioning houses for our members, that we will have estates.
SPEAKER_01: Pa keep plaza estate.
SPEAKER_01: Then we can now stay in church for six hours and pray.
SPEAKER_01: Because there was no need amongst them.
SPEAKER_01: Those days are upon us.
SPEAKER_01: And the young people of this church will be leading that movement.
SPEAKER_01: It is the cry of our fathers and our mothers that before they see Jesus, we must manifest in our days.
SPEAKER_01: And so you have influenced my fellow generation.
SPEAKER_01: Master it through wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Master it through people.
SPEAKER_01: Master it by understanding the bloodline, both spiritually and biologically, how you're connected.
SPEAKER_01: And with that, we shall do mighty things for God.
SPEAKER_01: That was the cry of our Father this month when he said it is a month of liberating power, adoption of sons.
SPEAKER_01: Sons are not slaves, sons have mastered the realities of influence.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, the spirit is asking you today, are you the one?
SPEAKER_01: Or should we wait for another?
SPEAKER_01: Please rise up on your feet.
SPEAKER_01: God bless you.
SPEAKER_01: Give Jesus praise if you can.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, if you have been blessed by the word of the Lord today, clap your hands and give Jesus praise.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Just close your eyes and lift up your hands just for two minutes before we leave.
SPEAKER_01: And ask the Lord, Lord, I'm ready to manifest.
SPEAKER_01: My fellow brothers and sisters, please make this prayer.
SPEAKER_01: My fellow Gen Zs, my fellow millennials, please make that prayer today.
SPEAKER_01: I must walk in the influence of this kingdom so that it can become a consolation even to my parents.
SPEAKER_01: Our parents are here, our fathers and mothers are here.
SPEAKER_01: Can you pray as we join hands with them that the time has come?
SPEAKER_01: Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Just keep praying.
SPEAKER_01: The Spirit of the Lord is upon this place.
SPEAKER_01: You have received the word, just begin to talk to him upstairs, downstairs.
SPEAKER_01: There is such an envelope of glory coming from this word.
SPEAKER_01: There is a saturation of glory coming from this word.
SPEAKER_01: Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Just close your eyes wherever you are.
SPEAKER_01: Somebody is receiving a new fresh grace to go forward.
SPEAKER_01: Yes, the Lord needs your business.
SPEAKER_01: That's why it cannot fail.
SPEAKER_01: The Lord is strengthening your marriage because that is a covenant platform for others to be blessed.
SPEAKER_01: The Lord is strengthening you, He's strengthening your heart.
SPEAKER_01: There could be many needs in your mind, but because you have come, the Lord is unveiling.
SPEAKER_01: He's unveiling.
SPEAKER_01: Some of us are receiving instructions for the next season.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: We are no longer waiting for the future.
SPEAKER_01: We are the future.
SPEAKER_01: We are no longer waiting for the future.
SPEAKER_01: We are the future in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Father, we thank you for the word that has come today.
SPEAKER_01: We thank you because when your word comes, there is grace that is imparted.
SPEAKER_01: Your word reminds us, as we have read today in Galatians chapter 4, verse 1 to 7, that there was a time when we were children, but now heirs who have become sons out of the configurations of slavery.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, in Christ Jesus, we receive every inheritance.
SPEAKER_01: Having come from the adoption of sonship, we enter into the realities of influence.
SPEAKER_01: Let us influence the boardrooms for Jesus, let us influence the space of sports.
SPEAKER_01: For Jesus, oh my god, may you use us to dethrone every moral altar in the industries of fashion.
SPEAKER_01: Release fashion icons who bear the kingdom agenda in this season.
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, release the grace that makes us to function effectively in the context of family, my God.
SPEAKER_01: In the space of business, every business that was going down and failing tonight, we speak to that business from its foundation.
SPEAKER_01: Receive the grace to come up.
SPEAKER_01: Let the shoot of Jesse arise in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: Every need that is represented in this morning, in the name of the Lord Jesus, we turn that need into a full testimony.
SPEAKER_01: This is a month where testimonies are connected back again in the name of the Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Father, today, as we step into this week, bring back the heart of a father back to a son, bring back the heart of a daughter back to the mother.
SPEAKER_01: For in the last days you shall pour out your spirit on all flesh.
SPEAKER_01: And thank you because this is our testimony, Lord.
SPEAKER_01: As sons and daughters, we also pray for our mothers and fathers, our grandfathers and our grandmothers, especially who are here.
SPEAKER_01: They have labored in the vineyard for many days.
SPEAKER_01: Our fathers and mothers who have waited in the secret place and saying, Father, let my son, let my daughter manifest every place.
SPEAKER_01: Today, the power of the Holy Ghost, we bring comfort to our fathers, we bring comfort to our mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, that your labor is not in vain.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, if there is a son and a daughter who is caught up in every broken place of addiction, I cast that root now.
SPEAKER_01: We release them now.
SPEAKER_01: We declare that this is the year where even our family members who are not born again, that the day of salvation has come.
SPEAKER_01: We declare healing upon their bones and their flesh.
SPEAKER_01: Any infirmity and sickness that has battled us, draining finances, let it be broken today in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Father, we cry today that our fathers, our mothers, our grandfathers, our grandmothers, they they will not see Jesus before they see us manifest.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, ground them with many years, ground them with many years, give them grace to walk this journey of faith.
SPEAKER_01: And for us who are in the field, who are in the battlefield, give us the fortitude to fight and win successfully, and that we shall come back to them and say, These are the glad tidings of our victory.
SPEAKER_01: And so, Father, in this youth Sunday, we release an alarm in the spirit that victory has come.
SPEAKER_01: We stand on the faith of our senior pastor and our associate pastor upon the faith of our fathers here in, and we declare to the young people of this continent one more time arise and shine.
SPEAKER_01: It is no longer things that we say, it is now a season of manifestation, and therefore, my father, from that declaration we declare that it is yes, and amen in Christ Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: And therefore, congregation, hallelujah, hallelujah, and therefore, congregation, receive the grace for the next season.
SPEAKER_01: Let your influence be multiplied double in this season.
SPEAKER_01: Bring in the resources from the world back to the kingdom, receive the fortitude of wisdom to navigate the complexities of the marketplace.
SPEAKER_01: Let there be a sound of rejoicing in your camp.
SPEAKER_01: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, we pray.
SPEAKER_01: Amen.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, give Jesus praise today.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, can we tell the Lord thank you for?
SPEAKER_01: Come on, make it louder, church.
SPEAKER_01: Come on, clap your hands and give Jesus praise.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Amen.
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to ask very sincerely for our father to come.

SPEAKER_00: During this Jubilee season, the hashtag was the future starts now.
SPEAKER_00: Do you sense it in your spirit?
SPEAKER_00: Receive the mantle.
SPEAKER_00: And all the young people here, I'm speaking as a father, also as a grandfather, and as a pastor.
SPEAKER_00: I speak to the young people who are here and those who are following the service around the world, upstairs and also downstairs.
SPEAKER_00: Receive the mantle of blessing upon your life.
SPEAKER_00: You have seen how he has brought out from generation to generation, and how the mantle passes on.
SPEAKER_00: An altar like this is very powerful.
SPEAKER_00: And a word spoken from here by a father figure is very powerful.
SPEAKER_00: Young generation of Africa, your hour is now.
SPEAKER_00: May God give you wisdom.
SPEAKER_00: In a moment such as this, and with the anointing in this altar, uh, receive the mantle of greatness upon your life.
SPEAKER_00: I am praying for the Davidic mantle.
SPEAKER_00: The same way Samuel came with a horn of oil.
SPEAKER_00: And in 1 Samuel chapter 16 and verse 13, he poured oil on David.
SPEAKER_00: He was very young, he was about 17 years old, and the servant of God was not afraid.
SPEAKER_00: He was not afraid to pour the mantle of greatness, of kingship, of leadership, of rulership, of victory and success.
SPEAKER_00: It was a whole menu of things inside that mantle.
SPEAKER_00: And when I say receive the mantle, I know what I'm saying from this altar.
SPEAKER_00: And therefore, Samuel poured that oil on David, and the Holy Spirit came upon David, and from that time he was shifted from where he was in terms of his background to becoming a king immediately.
SPEAKER_00: Young people of Africa, I'm standing on this map here, and as fathers, the Lord gave us wisdom to put this map here, and we knew even then that God will raise sons.
SPEAKER_00: And when I say sons, generic is both men and women.
SPEAKER_00: God will raise sons from this continent and from this country here, Kenya, and send them north, south, east, and west.
SPEAKER_00: And in my spirit, this season of Jubilee, we are 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: Um we've come 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: I sense is the season for the mantle to actually be passed on, and therefore I speak to the young people of Africa from the fathers, and this is a blessing.
SPEAKER_00: And there is a menu in this mantle.
SPEAKER_00: Actually, it is the oil of Samuel upon David.
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm doing right now.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm speaking to the young people, young people who are here, let raise your hands.
SPEAKER_00: Age 35, you know, yourself uh below your young.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, even if and if you sense you're young, if you are above 35, you can lift both hands to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: There's a mantle passing here of the order that was passed on to David by Prophet Samuel many years ago.
SPEAKER_00: I'm holding uh, you know, a horn of uh spiritual oil, and uh according to Psalm 23, where it says, He anoints my head with oil, my cup run it over.
SPEAKER_00: I'm releasing oil right now, and Maxi, you are a general in Africa in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
SPEAKER_00: May double portion of this mantle come upon you together with your team.
SPEAKER_00: There's Dixon there, there's Jackson there.

SPEAKER_00: May the angel of Psalm 91, verse 11, be released upon your life.
SPEAKER_00: God will take care of you both day and night, and no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper.
