The death and resurrection of Jesus secured our victory over sin and death. It paved the way for us to receive eternal life and enjoy reconciliation with God. Reconciliation with God means we are free from death and condemnation and sin loses power over us. Thus, we no longer struggle to be right with God because Christ has already done it for us. Our battle of faith is in the renewal of our minds.

SPEAKER_03You have what money cannot buy. You have what no human connection can give. You have the blessing that transcends this world. See, some people's relevance is only on this earth. When they are gone, they are finished. But for you and I who believes in Christ, I told someone, I said, if you understand this, your joy will be full. That when my days are done on earth, when my close, when I close my eyes in this side of eternity, I open my eyes with Jesus. Not everybody can will have that. Not everybody. Why won't we value it? Some of us, if they give you just a common five million naira today, you will dance and rejoice and rejoice, but you have what money cannot buy. And you still look like someone that God has not blessed. Change your mind. Do what? Change your mind. I have what money cannot buy. Except Dango Day, Dango Te and the Elon Musk and all of them repent. I'm better than them. I am better than them. If you are not in Christ, you are nowhere. If you don't belong to Christ, you are in nobody. It doesn't matter what you have. Am I talking to somebody? Please let this sink into our hearts and stop living your life as if everything will end here. It won't end here.
SPEAKER_02It won't end here. Happy Easter to everyone.
SPEAKER_03Please greet your neighbor. Say something good to your neighbor. Say something nice. Say something nice. I'm not telling you what to say to them. Say something nice.
SPEAKER_01Speak a word of blessing, a word of prophecy. Celebrate Jesus church as we take our seats this morning.
SPEAKER_02God bless you. You are welcome to church. Greetings to you, Omagua Church.
SPEAKER_03You know, listen, if you know the testimonies that goes on in that church, you will envy them. You will envy them. Many of us will have become too familiar with the grace of God that is at work upon this commission that God forbid you are no longer benefiting from it.
SPEAKER_02Familiarity will rob you of benefits. They watch on TV. And every time I hear their testimony, it's awesome. Praise the Lord. God bless your mango church. This morning I'll be ministering to us the message I supposed to preach from Thursday. See now. You are afraid? Don't worry, I'm not preaching a long message. I'm just going to give you summary. I'm going to summarize the message of salvation.
SPEAKER_03Praise the Lord. So that many of us can understand and see what Jesus has done for us. So I've titled the message, the work is finished. The work, okay, let me speak like a Ghanaian. The work is finished. And the war is over. The work is finished. And the war is over. Let's quickly read from John chapter 19. John chapter 19, verse 28 to 30. Like I told you, I'm just going to summarize. But you get something if your heart is open from this summary. After this, Jesus knowing, somebody said, knowing that all things were now accomplished. That the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I test. Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there. And they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on his soap and put it into his mouth.
SPEAKER_02They give you sour wine.
SPEAKER_03So when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, It is finished. And bowing his head, he did what? He gave up his spirit. So nobody took his life. He gave it. So the summary of that passage, let me put it like this. Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, he said, It is finished. And he gave up the ghost. Now you see, when we are talking about the work is finished and the war is over, many of us might not understand which war are we talking about. Now get this. Enimity with God is the war no man can win without Jesus. Enimity with God is what? Is the war no man can win without Jesus. Without the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. Now let's go back to what happened in the garden. From the fall of Adam, man became God's enemy. Man became what? Why? What is God's enemy took over man? Sin. Sin is God's enemy. Satan is God's enemy. Sin took over the nature of man. And so that made man to automatically become God's enemy. That separated man from God. In the book of Colossians, chapter 1, verse 21 and 22. Because from the moment man was separated from God and sin took over, man's way of thinking changed. From what God wanted. Look at it. It says, and you who once were alienated. And you who once were what? Alienated. A stranger. Separated. And enemies were in your mind by wicked works. Yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh. Through what? Through death. To present you holy and blameless and above reproach in his sight. Go back to verse 21. Now get this, church. He said, when man became alienated, estranged from God, separated from God, God told the man, he said, the day you disobey, you die. That die was talking about that death, I mean, was talking about spiritual separation from God, which also manifested in physical death. But man did not die immediately, physically, but man died spiritually. Immediately, man disobeyed God. So there was a separation. He now said, and you who once were alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works. Now, let's be sincere with ourselves. You are born again, right? You are born again. As a born-again child of God, who have been born again for some years. Can you please check your thoughts? No, no, let's be truthful with ourselves. We are being truthful. Don't you still see some wickedness there? Do you know that we are not just wicked to others, we are wicked to ourselves. You think negative things about yourself. In fact, thoughts that if people can see into your heart, they will be running from you. Now, how much more someone who is not born again? That is the effect of being separated from God. That is the effect of becoming an enemy to God because at the fall, man's nature changed. Sin took over the nature of man. So sin began to control man. And that's what brought man under the influence and the control of Satan. Because whosoever sin controls, Satan will control. So because of that, man became an enemy. But blessed be God, he knew what will happen before he created man. So he made provision. Before we get to the provision he made, understand this that all enemies of God were or are predestined for the lake of fire. We call it hell. But understand this this morning that hell and the lake of fire are not the same. What was translated to hell in the King James Version is the I mean, Greek word, Hades. It actually means grave, the place of the dead. Now let's read it. Let's read. Revelation chapter 20, verse 10 to 15. You see where all the enemies of God belong. The devil who deceived them was cast into where? Cast into where? Into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are. Now, now, don't remove it, uh media. The false prophet is the spirit. Is a what? So that's why I beg you, child of God, you that is just concerned about having your needs met, and you don't care about how. You love hearing things. That's what excites you. What you don't understand is that the false prophet is a spirit destined for the lake of fire. And there are agents in the hands of the devil to deceive people and take the hearts of the people away from God unto themselves. Watch it. First prophets point people to themselves. I will do that. I will, I will. You see, they are idols, and the way the deal with people is to bring you to a place where you will never be able to stand by yourself in Christ. You always need them.
SPEAKER_02You can't go to toilet except somebody gives a vision for you.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you go to toilet. Man of God, sir. I feel pressed. Should I go? Is he safe? You are not safe. See, the death of Jesus must not be in vain over our lives. God's will for you is to become, to live your life exactly like Christ and not be at the mercy of any human being. I'm trusting the Lord that God will build us in this church that on my counseling days, only newcomers will be there. I'm not saying amen. See, because there are there is a way you grow that you don't see pastor every day. That's not pride. You are growing. Am I talking to somebody? When you know how to handle things, when you know what to do, when you know who you are, when the devil tries to confront you, you know what to say to him, you know where to put him. That doesn't mean when a challenge is serious that you cannot see your pastor. But I'm trying to show you a better way out. Because that's what Jesus died and resurrected for. Go back to me dear. You hear what in Jesus' name. The devil who deceived them was cast into where? Into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, because that's their destination too. They are enemies of God. May you not patronize God's enemy. And they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever. Verse 11. We're getting to verse 15. Read up to verse 15. Let's do it first. Then I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great. This great white throne is for unbelievers. The judgment seat of Christ is for believers. So, and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book, one, was opened, which is what the book of life. So there are books, and there are a book. And the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written well in the books. Verse 13. And dead and hadith or hell. This is where in King James this is translated as hell. But it's hadith, it means grave. Delivered up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one according to his works. Verse 14. Then death and hadith or grave that we call hell were cast into where into the lake of fire. This is the second death. That means death is God's enemy. Hades, or what King James version translated, I mean, to hell. It's what God's enemy. So grave is not the final place. Grace itself, grave, grave itself will be thrown into the lake of fire to be destroyed. So this is the second death. Verse 15. And anyone not found written in the book of life was what? Cast into the lake of fire. So all the enemies of God are bound or are destined for the lake of fire. But you see, in the beginning, God created man in his image and in his likeness. So his will for man is not to end in the lake of fire. That's why before the fall of man, he knew what will happen. Revelation chapter 13, verse 8. During the summary, please follow. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written where? In the book of life of the Lamb, slain from where? From the foundation of the world. So that means what happened over 2,000 years ago was a manifestation of what of what God accomplished even before man was created. What a great mercy and love. He foresaw what will happen. And he made provision for it. He knew that the only solution to what will happen is salvation. And that salvation will involve paying the full price for sin. So God's provision for the salvation of man was made to satisfy his justice and his holiness. You see, God made provision to save man without compromising his standard. You know, um Pastor Dokweek can offend me now. And I will say, I forgive you. But you know, even though I've forgiven him, forgiving her, if he did another one, if she did another one, sorry. I said that's what you did last time. But you know, the provision God made for our salvation is not for him to forget and forgive. And not forget, is to forgive and forget. So that means when he finished the work, whatsoever we have done, as far as God is concerned, is no longer in existence. So see, some of you that, oh Lord, thank God for this day.
SPEAKER_02We thank you for this morning, thank you for waking us up. Lord, we are grateful. Every sin I commit, sin of omission. Sin of mission.
SPEAKER_03Sin of that I know that I don't know. Oh Lord, forgive me. Do you know what God will? What is He saying?
SPEAKER_02What you are pointing at, He can't even remember. You see Jesus help us.
SPEAKER_03How God made the provision for our salvation, he did it in such a way that He paid the full price. To the extent that he will not compromise his own standard, and the devil will never be able to accuse him of being unjust. In the book of Romans, chapter 6, verse 23, the Bible says, For the wages of sin is what? Death. The wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So what he did is this. He paid in full the wages of sin or the price of sin. That was what he did on the cross. He paid in full so that the enmity between us and him can end. So that what gave the devil the legal right to lay claim to us, to lay claim to what is meant for us, to afflict, to oppress, to steal, to kill. What gave him the legal right was removed. Jesus paid. So that's why what Jesus paid for. Nobody can charge you for it again if you understand what we are talking about. Get this church. At the fall of man, sin entered man. And man became the home, a home for sin. So in the sight of God, man and sin became one. And because sin is an enemy of God, from the moment man became one with sin, man became an enemy. That's why every sinner is an enemy of God. Man began to walk contrary to God's eternal purpose. Man began to do things that are contrary to God's will. So the solution of it was to deal with sin. That was not God's ultimate plan for man, but he had to deal with sin in order for him to achieve his eternal plan for us. Romans chapter 8, verse 3. Look at what he did. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh. God did, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of what? On account of sin. He condemns sin in the flesh. Let's read from amplified. You get it better. Let's read from amplified. For God has done what the law. Please, please, when we are reading, pay attention. Don't be a spiritual illiterate. It is what you understand that you practice. For God has done what the law could not do. Its power, that is the power of law, being weakened by the flesh. That's the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit. God sending his own son in the guise of sinful flesh. So all flesh has sinned and falling short of the glory of God. So for God to solve the problem of sin, he had to send his own son having the appearance of flesh so that he will be qualified to pay the full price for sin. Because it's only man that can pay the price for sin. For the wages of sin is what? Is death. How will you come back and enjoy the benefit of what to die for? It's not possible. Moreover, you can't pay because your life is already contaminated. As a sinner, you can't pay for sin. Go back. Sending his own son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin. God condemns sin in the flesh. That is, subdued sin, overcame sin, deprived it of his power over all who accept that sacrifice. So that's what God accomplished for us through salvation. Jesus became man so that through his life he could pay for the full price. He could pay the full price for our sin so that sin will no longer be charged into the account of everyone that believes in him. There is something God had in mind to accomplish. Because if it's just about forgiveness of sin, he will have forgiven us our sin and still leave us like mere man. What's the purpose of salvation? What is God's eternal plan for man that he accomplished through the death of Jesus on the cross? Let's check that from the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 18 to 20. Are you following, please? Now all things are of God. Who has what? Who has what? You can see that he has gone beyond who has forgiven us, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of what? Reconciliation. Verse 19. That is that God was in Christ, reconciling the world. So salvation is a work of reconciliation. Not imputing their trespasses to them. Or not charging their sins to them, and has committed to us what? The word. Don't be like Apostle Peter. You know, there are people in the church, all they see in every other person is what they are not doing right. And he calls herself Christian. Look at her. Call himself Christian. Look at him. You find fault in everybody. Meanwhile, you are an embodiment of fault.
SPEAKER_02I'm saying this in love. Go back to where we're ready.
SPEAKER_03God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them. Most of us, what God is not imputing to men is what we are imputing to them. And has committed to us the world. Has committed to us what? The word of reconciliation. The next verse. Verse 20. Now then, now then we are who ambassadors for Christ. As though God were pleading through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf. Be reconciled to God. Now we can see from this Bible passage that God's eternal plan for man is not just to forgive man, is to reconcile man back to himself. Romans chapter 5, verse 10. Further establish that. Romans chapter 5, verse 10. For if when we were enemies, see, if you don't understand this, you won't understand anything about Christianity. God forbid. Because this is a foundation of Christianity. For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God. Through the death of his son, much more having been reconciled, we shall be saved by what? His life. Now, no, now. When we hear reconciliation, what is the first thing that comes into our mind? Two people quarreling. And you now say to them, is that? No, no, no, that's not what the Bible is talking about. Reconciliation here is not just about settlement. When we hear the word reconciliation, the first thing that comes to our mind is this one is quarreling with this. They are having issue. So let's reconcile them. Let's settle them. But you see, the Greek word translated to reconciliation here is a word catalasso. Catalaso. It means to change mutually. It means to make different. Now, reconciliation in this context is saying God changed us to become like him. Did you get that? He changed us to become like him. And so when he changed us to become like him, he can quarrel with himself. He removed the nature of sin. And he put his own nature and gave us his spirit. So you now look exactly like me. We can't quarrel. That is reconciliation. That is why, if you understand this as a child of God, you will never be afraid of hell. Do you know why? You will never be afraid of the lake of fire that we call hell. Do you know why? When you are going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ, it is Jesus standing before Jesus. You will get it better as we go on in this message. Because as we are talking now, what the religious mind of some of us is telling us, ah ah, Pastor Son, just stop copying.
SPEAKER_02How can how can it be Jesus?
SPEAKER_03Some of you say, I know, say I know good. And you are telling me, I'm struggling to be good. And you are now telling me that when I stand before the judgment seat of Christ, it will be Jesus standing before Jesus. No, it will be me standing before Jesus. If it is you, you can't survive it. Because there is no amount of your perfection in your flesh that will satisfy his holiness. God's standard is too high for human beings to meet. Check them in the Old Testament. They tried, but it didn't work. That's why the Bible called that one. What they were practicing, the old covenant. He said, if that old covenant has been perfect, there will be no need for the new one. If keeping the law, if obeying the law could reconcile man back to God, there will have been no need for Jesus to die. So through his death and resurrection, he made us to become like him. He restored us back to factory setting. His original plan. He brought restoration. Now we are finding it difficult to accept that because you are busy looking at your life based on what you do in the flesh. We'll get to that place very soon. So God has made you different. This implies that salvation does not just remove the enmity between us and God. We have been made to become exactly like him. That's what salvation accomplished for us. All things are passed away, all things are become new. Second Corinthians 5 17. We have been made to become a new creature. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. You have never been seen before. All things will pass away. Have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. Now, as a result of this, certain things happen. As a result of being reconciled back to God, that is, you are made to become exactly like God through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. There was an exchange. He gave his life so that you and I can become a partaker of that life. So that you'll be able to live above sin, above Satan, and above the world. He made us to become exactly like him. That's why he am child of God. You have been made holy. To be made holy means you are separated. You are not like the world. You are not meant to live like the world. The world is not meant to be your model. Because you are now holy unto God. You are now a partaker of the life of God. As a result of being changed mutually to become like God. I will just point to four things that happened. Number one. Number one. Somebody will be wondering what is pastor saying this morning. It's not me, it's the Bible saying it. We cannot sin. How many of us believe that? You see, only few of us believe that. We cannot. Are you truly born again? You are born again, you cannot sin. I will show you. 1 John chapter 3, verse 8 to 9. 1 John chapter 3. By the time we conclude, everything will be clear to you. You'll understand better. 1 John chapter 3, verse 8 to 9. He who sins is of who? Is of the devil. For the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, for this purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil, which includes sin. Verse 9. Whoever can we read it again together, church? One to go. Whoever has been born of God does not sin. For his seed remains in him. And he cannot sin. He cannot sin. He cannot sin.
SPEAKER_04He cannot sin.
SPEAKER_03He has no capacity to sin. Why is it so quiet in this Pentecostal church this morning? And he cannot sin. Because he has been born of God. He has been born of God. He cannot sin. Do you know why? You are confused.
SPEAKER_02Those of us who are confused. Who are saying that with the thrust you're preaching, but this one with the is this not heresy?
SPEAKER_03I just read it from the Bible. This place is talking about your spirit man, which is the real you. The real you is perfect as God is perfect. You are a spirit being that has a soul, and you live in a body. Your challenge is that you look at what you do in the flesh and conclude yourself that you are still sinning. And I will show you this morning why you still sin. See, the war is over, the battle we are fighting now is to be able to live like Christ. I say, see, not Jesus, devil is not your problem. Devil is not what? Your problem. The Bible says, resist the devil. And he will do what? Is that one a problem? Somebody you can resist and he will flee. Is that a problem? The challenge is that you can't resist him. You find it difficult to resist him because if you are fighting the one that has been defeated. We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but principalities and powers. So it doesn't mean, okay, Satan, oh, I know go gre. You know, go gre. No, no, no. He has been defeated over 2000 years ago. Okay. If you are not sure. Colossians chapter 2, verse 14 and 15. Tell your neighbor, say if you are truly born again, you can't sin. Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us, and he had taken it out of the way, having nailed it to what? To the cross. Verse 15. Having having disarmed. Give me from NLT. In this way, he did what? He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. He disgraced the devil. He disgraced mommy water, papi water, he disgraced that idol in your father's family, your mother's family, that spirit that said you won't go forward. He disgraced them publicly. He paraded them. You know, in the days of old, when you defeat an army, you tie them together and you say, Let them be walking through the street. So Jesus on the cross at Calvary overcame them. He showed that all these ones are defeated. See, which arm is he using against you? That's why the only thing he has against you is deception. Deception. We read it earlier on. That's why if you are an ignorant believer, you are a vulnerable believer. It should look as if the devil is powerful. If you lack understanding, if you don't know who you are and what God has done for you, they will still press you in your dream. If you don't know, they will still be commanding you. Masquerate. We still pursue you, God forbid. Am I talking to somebody? Now you go forbid this one. See, when you understand, uh-uh, one of the things you ask yourself, can can do you press Jesus? If I'm a partaker of his life, because that's what reconciliation, what salvation has done, has reconciled him back to God. I've been changed to become exactly like God. I have the spirit of Christ, I have the nature of Christ working in me. So when I stand, I stand as Jesus. Is somebody hearing that? Listen, thank God I've never had, at least here in Portal Court, I've never had any reason for somebody to summon me to juju, but I will have loved it to happen. Do you know why? You summon me to juju. As soon as I'm receiving the letter, if they send the idea and say, wait, I want to send my own, I will also type a letter. I will summon them to my this. I'm a mobile shrine. What do you call a shrine? Is it not where gods dwell? Greater is he that is in me. So I'm a shrine. Superior one. When you talk, the devil and his agents must hear the voice of Jesus through your voice. That's what I want us to get this morning. This thing that you live your life anyhow. You don't understand that you are holy unto the Lord and you are meant to live differently from the world. What you are doing to yourself is that you are robbing yourself of spiritual authority. And the devil can, even though you are born again, he can tell you, Jesus, I know, Pastor Juliet. I know. Who are you? Because that's what they did to those seven sons of Skeva. Because by the way you live, the devil can identify you as a child of God. He thinks you are his own. Is somebody getting something? So if the Bible says you cannot sin, your spirit man, that is where it is in your spirit that your union with Christ took place. Your spirit man doesn't need training. Is perfect because that is the seat of wisdom, that is the seat of power, that is where the Holy Ghost dwells.
SPEAKER_02You sin from your soul, not from your spirit.
SPEAKER_03Because your spirit has the right. That is where the righteousness of God dwells. That's why the Bible tells you and I renew your mind, renew your mind, keep renewing your mind, keep renewing so that your mind will conform to who you are in the spirit and stop thinking like the world. The reason why it seems you are powerless and it looks as if what Jesus has done for us is not true, is the state of your soul. You see things like the world, you still see things like the world, you reason like them. As a result, you have no power over them. So the first thing that salvation does to us or did to us is that we cannot sin. Number two, we are free from death. Another shocker. Somebody is here. I see her that a believer, but I heard that a pastor died recently. Oh, what is Pastor Son just saying this morning? We are free from death. That second death has no power over us. Even the first death, even the first death has no power because your spirit can die. That's why the Bible says we sleep. We do what? We sleep and not die. To be absent in the body is to be a present with Christ. And that one you call death. Give me John chapter 5, verse 24. I choose to believe God's word. I choose to believe God's word. I'm not going to do anything based on religion. Most assuredly, I say to you, this is Jesus talking. He who believes my word and believes in him who sent me. Has what? What is the meaning of everlasting? Don't remove it. What is the meaning of everlasting? Forever life. Is there a place for death there? If you call it everlasting, that means it's a forever life. So he said, most assuredly, King James Version says, Verily, verily, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes in him who sent me has what? Everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into what? Into life. For some days I've been showing you. You give death power over you when you walk in bitterness and hatred. When you walk in what? Bitterness. What you have been delivered from, you empower it to dominate you. Listen, when you choose to walk in love, no devil can take your life before your time. No devil. No devil. Because you you flow with authority. Whatsoever he attempts to throw on your part to terminate your life, you truncate them. Listen, church. You know what he does? He knows that you are walking in bitterness, in hatred. He knows you are blind. Can I remind you? We read it during our um is it on Thursday? During our prayer service on Thursday. Okay, let's read it. First John chapter 2, verse 7 to 9. 1 John chapter 2, verse 7 to 9. Okay, go to verse 9. Go to verse 9. He who says, 9 to 11, sorry. He who says he is in the light and does what? And hates his brother or his sister. Is where? Is where is in darkness until when? Now, the next verse. He who loves his brother abides in the light. I'm showing you the things that make it look as if what Jesus did was not real. We are the ones that truncates the effects of the finished work of Jesus in our lives. By the lifestyle we choose. He who loves his brother abides where? In the light. And there is no cause. No cause. No cause for stumbling in him. No cause for stumbling in him. No cause for stumbling in him. The next verse. But he who hates his brother is in where? Is the darkness and walks in darkness and does not know where he is going. So he could walk into death. And does not know where he's going. Because the darkness has what? Blinded his eyes. If one is in darkness, the agents of darkness will prevail over the person. Just imagine somebody is in thick darkness. And somebody was already in the darkness, waiting for how to pounce on that person. Do you know that those who live in darkness, their eyes get used to darkness? Do you understand? When you first enter a room and everywhere is dark, stay there for a while. The only challenge is that the enemy won't allow you to stay in darkness for your eye to see. He will strike. Because you are not even seeing that somebody is there. You can only sense that there is a presence. He said they will do likewise to you. So they call you witch, and you know you are not a witch. And you say, No, I won't forgive that. The problem they did the same thing to Jesus. Am I talking to somebody? Thank you. They did the same thing to Jesus. God bless you. They did the same thing to Jesus. So when you say walk in love, it is for you to manifest the light. That darkness cannot comprehend. The light shines in darkness, and darkness cannot comprehend it. You see, when you because you have been made to become like God, you can actually live like God. You can forgive like Him. You can walk in love. When you refuse to reduce yourself to who you are in the body, am I talking to somebody? Because your strength is in your revelation of who you are in Christ. That is when you shine as light. John 1 5. John 1 5. Quickly. And the light does what? Let's start from verse 4. In him in Christ was life. And the life was what? The light of man. Verse 5. And the light shined in the darkness. And the darkness did not comprehend it. Another version said, and the darkness did not understand it. Listen, can I announce to somebody here? From today, your progress will confuse your enemy. Your rising will confuse those who hate you. Even you believe it, show it with your strongest amen. Because no matter what they do to bring you down, they will just, in spite of all they are doing, you keep rising, you keep rising. I said, you will keep rising. In the name of Jesus. He said the light shines in darkness. And darkness cannot comprehend it. See, when you choose to follow the path of light, no weapon formed against you will prosper. The agents of darkness cannot prevail over your life. Do you know why? 1 Timothy chapter 6, verse 16. Read it during the week. I want to remind you again for the sake of those who are not here on Wednesday. From verse 15. Let's start from verse 15. Which he will manifest in his own time. He who is the blessed and only potentate, the king of kings and lord of lords. Talking about Jesus. Who alone has what? Who alone has what? Immortality. Dwelling where? Dwelling where church. Dwelling in unapproachable light. To whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. When you show forth as the light of the world, when you allow the love of Jesus to flow in your heart, and you allow his light to shine forth in your life, you become unapproachable for the agents of darkness. Because his light you emit in the spirit. They can't approach it. See, the best they can do is to use mouth. I will deal with you. Tell them they can't do more than a dead rat. They can't do more than a dead rat, you smell. Amen. Because when you manifest as light, you are unapproachable in the spirit. There is no agents of darkness. When they attempt it, they regret it first. If as a child of God, you are still afraid of witches, you are afraid of wizard. Can I say something to you? The best they can do for you is to manipulate your dream. That's why don't just live by your dreams. Somebody came your dream.
SPEAKER_02And now do some abracadabra. Now said they remove something from your body. It's not your body.
SPEAKER_03Am I talking to somebody? Do you know why they do that? They want you to believe that and become fearful. Stand your ground. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. No weapon. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Do you know that years ago as a at my early stage as a pastor, I would dream that I ate in the dream. And I will get up angry in the name of Jesus. Whatever I've eaten, whatever they have given me, the more I the more they were feeding me. Until I had an understanding that the devil is not generous. Why am I complaining? Until I got to a time. I woke up. I said, Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for this table you prepared. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What a delicious food. I'm telling you what I did. In less than a month, they stopped bringing food. I said, ah, it shocked you that I'm thanking God for the food. Listen, your life as a believer is a life of faith. If you keep seeing yourself and everything in the flesh, they will prevail over you. Am I talking to somebody? We are free from what? Death. First John chapter 5, verse 10 to 13, quickly. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar. He who does not believe God has made him what? A liar. Because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of his son. This is where we have a problem, church. We have made God the liar because we believe what the devil wants us to believe instead of what God has done for us in Christ. And this is a testimony that God has given us what? Eternal life. And this life is in his son. Verse 12. He who has the son has what? He who does not have the son of God does not have life. Verse 13. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know, that you may what? Know that you have what? Eternal life. No devil can take your life before your time. That eternal life in you that exists in your spirit has the capacity to give life to your physical body. According to Romans chapter 8, verse 11. And quicken your body. Give life to your body and make you stronger. These things have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God. That you may know that you have eternal life and that you may you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Listen, listen. Some years ago, about 20, 23, 24, 25 years ago. Almost every night, then they shoot me. Almost every night. The first time I told, I said, they keep shooting me in the dream. He said, but this is you. He said, This is you. If what they are doing has effects, we won't be talking. And do you know what will never allow it to have effect when you choose to see yourself in the spirit? Your physical body can be protected. Am I talking to somebody? Your physical body can be what? Protected. Let me tell you something. This spirit within, this spirit within has the ability to give life to your physical body and cancel whatsoever the enemy is trying to do to your body. Even this morning, as I'm preaching to you, I'm still a witness. You know what? 2019 I started having pain in this right hand, this left hand. And I thought it got to a time I couldn't carry microphone with the so I called Dr. Shalom in Lagos. I said, I my hand has a problem. I said, I don't know that's what do I do? He now says it's not your hand, it's your neck. I said, Nothing they do, my neck. Now my hand. I don't know if it's more picking. So that's why we open even the issue of life. We misdiagnose because we are ignorant. He said, Okay, daddy, go to go to um lab and do an x-ray. Tell them neck x-ray. Do you know when I got to lab? I told I want to do my hand x-ray. Because how can doctor be treating me like small picking? Me, I know it's in a hand. If the term is in her neck. So when I got to the place where I would do the x-ray, the the guy, look, I said, which x-ray do you want to do? I said, My hand. He said, What's wrong with your hand? I said, I feel pain. It radiates from up to the he said, sir, it's not your hand, it's your neck. I said, Well, don't come on. I said, My doctor said so, but I did not believe. He said, He's correct. He now said, When we finish doing the extra, I will show you what's the problem. He said, It's common with pastors, with lawyers, with uh lecturers. He said anybody that reads a lot that bends their head like this. He said, It's very common with them. Now said, What I'll just do when the physiotherapist helped me to deal with this, I should look for a way of reading like this. Uh uh. So be carrying my book for front. So they did the x-ray and he showed me the bone here. How they are in the joints. They are open, but there is a place they are close. He now said that place that is close. He said, There are nerves inside. Every time I turn my head, that's those two bones grind the nerve and it sends pain to the arm. So what they are going to do is to massage my neck and draw my head out. So now say they have a in image, they have a physiotherapist there. So that's how I got to know Dr. Iberi. So he took me to the his office and he looked as you'll be fine. So they put something, put electric shock, and then they tie something to my neck as I was lying down. Drag my head, no remove my head from my body, drag down within a few days. Now look at Friday. I started feeling the same thing, but this time this hand. So I knew what I knew. I've not been keeping to carrying book like this.
SPEAKER_02So I called Dr. Bere.
SPEAKER_03Now I said, Oh, he went for retreats that I should see him on Tuesday. And he gave me that I should buy a certain drug. Yesterday I used one in the morning with the hope that I will come and attend. I don't know, so the thing they make person sleep, they didn't knock me out. So this morning I say I know the use. So I was feeling the pain. It now got to a point that my hair now stiff. So turn like this. So that's why I stay long. I say, Lord, now if Sabi, if I get to church, I'm moving like robots. But see, because I have to preach to you, the spirit took over the body. I'm telling you, I'm not feeling any pain. And I pray, let it not come back. Because many times when we climb the altar, whatsoever we feel disappears. But the moment you step down, it returns. Because God knows you are important to him. And I must preach. I came with uh holy, I mean, no, not that one is not holy ghost gentility, neck pain, gentility this morning. I just sat down there. Even when they say choir say get up, I say when another series, another get up. Make a disobey, like when I too, they disobey me at times. I just sit down there. But as I pick my mic, I turn the head, the tongue. I turn the tongue. I said, then go here and went this morning. Listen, as you agree with your strongest amen, whatsoever the devil wants to put in your body to slow down your journey in life. In the name of Jesus, the hand of the Lord remove them now. In the name of Jesus Christ. We are free from death. Let me tell your neighbor, nobody can kill you. Nobody can take you before your time. You will live to fulfill God's perfect plans for your life. Praise the Lord. When I dream came to see me in the office this morning, I said, What are you looking for here? I was praying, and then he was paining me. I thought that he said that it just wants in. I'm not talking much. You know, no say, but in the paper. Amen. See, God's word is true, church. God's word is true. Number three, we are free from condemnation. Let me tell you something, church. The strength of your enemy is an accusation. That's why that Colossians chapter 2, verse 14 that we read earlier on. Go back to that Colossians 2 14. Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us. That's the law, which was contrary to us, and he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. This is what disarmed the devil. Because he uses the law. He is a self-appointed magistrate. That word, ruler of this world, also means magistrate. So he, as a self-appointment appointed magistrate, uses the law to judge us. And if you are the type that wants to satisfy God by fulfilling the law, the devil will deal with you. Because you can't get it right 100% always. If you are not missing it in a place of anger. You know, people think if you are not committing immorality, if you are not stealing, if you are not cheating other people, you are good to go. It's more than that. It's more than that. There are so many things. He will use your bitterness. He's the one that will introduce bitterness to you. And he's the one that will judge you for being bitter. He's the one who organizes what will create bitterness in your heart. And he's the one who will judge you, say you call yourself a child of God. Are you meant to be bitter? So we sentence you. And it will determine what you will do.
SPEAKER_02It won't get you anymore.
SPEAKER_03In the name of Jesus. Let's read Romans chapter 8, verse 1, 33, and 34. From TPT. Then we move on because our time is fast spent now. Romans chapter 1. Chapter 8, verse 1, 33, and 34. From the Passions translation. That will help our understanding. See, somebody is going home victorious this morning. The death and resurrection of Jesus will no longer be a story to you. It will become the reality of your life. If you believe it, let your image show it. Media, can I have TPT? So now what? The case is closed. Case closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in live union with Jesus, the anointed one. Jump to 33. 33 and 34. Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them, not guilty. If he has declared you not guilty, he won't be the one to judge you again. Tell yourself, I'm not guilty. Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus. The anointed one, for he gave his life for us, and even more than that, he has conquered death and is now risen, exalted and enthroned by God at his right hand. So how could he possibly condemn us since he is continually praying for our triumph? The one who is interceding for you day and now, will he be the one to still condemn you? That's what the Bible is teaching us. Don't let religion mess up your mind. Religion uses fear to want to make people conform to the truth. But the reality is that fear doesn't change anybody. Some people think they are born again, they are not. Because the fear of hell was what brought them out, not the understanding of what Jesus has done for them. If they told you so much about hell, about how hot hell is, about how the fire will be burning day and night, and you'll be tormented day and night, and you say, Oh Lord, I don't want to be there, I don't want to be there. They now said, Come out. If you don't want to go to hell, listen, you are not born again. Until you fulfill the criteria in Romans chapter 10, verses 9 and 10. You have to believe that Christ died for you. He died for the forgiveness of your sin. And he rose up for your justification. And what you believe, you now confess it. That is a criteria for getting born again. Not fear. Not what fear. That's why when I hear that somebody backslidd and returned back to the world, I doubt it if that person has ever met Jesus. I doubt it if that person has ever met Jesus. Is it the same Jesus that I know? Is it the same Jesus? With what I've seen, with what I've handled, with what he has done, where am I going to?
SPEAKER_04What is it out there that is attractive?
SPEAKER_03What? Money. Money can't solve your problem. What do you call enjoyment? What you call enjoyment in the world reduces your lifespan. What you call enjoyment in the world does what? Reduces your lifespan. You do cho-cho cho from bed to bed. You are at risk. What is there? Is that one to enjoy? Hennessy. You jump energy on the ice with me.
SPEAKER_04Are you part of them?
SPEAKER_03You are killing your liver. Medical people, am I right?
SPEAKER_04You are killing your liver.
SPEAKER_03Everything the word calls enjoyment reduces one's life. When the result shows, begins to show, you go, show, your body will tell you. Am I talking to somebody here? You know when I see on social media what Yahoo loss people, ritualists are doing to girls, and yet they know they hear. I said, Who have bewitched you? Oh, Gen Zit. That you will not obey the truth. You are risking your life on a daily basis. Some years back, I went to.
SPEAKER_02Okay, I think it was um my pastor.
SPEAKER_03Doctor, when they are still in ODR, I was there. There was a need for me to go visit them. I think she just gave birth that time. To go visit them around 11. When I was coming back, around 12 30 to 1. Is it Casam Black had they called her? See small small guests. Carry back. Stood on the I said, no, this guy's strong. You are standing 1 a.m. Now, spirit you didn't wait for. Can you see how people risk their life? Listen, church.
SPEAKER_02Listen. Money is good though. Don't get me wrong. Money is good. Money is good. It's good to have money. Legally.
SPEAKER_03But let me tell you, money does not satisfy. The more you have, the more you want to have. The more you have. The more you want to what? Have. And if you are obsessed with having, you start living like the world. Oh, God help us. But what are we saying? When you are conscious about your work with God and you still fall into sin here and there, I'm not talking about those who intentionally live in sin. But since you still find yourself because you are still going through, you know your salvation are in three ways. One, you are saved, you are being saved, and you will be saved. You are saved, guarantees your eternity. Being saved is your transformation. And you will be, you will be saved. That's when you will drop this body completely. Where you are free from struggles, where you are not contending, you receive a new body. You become fully exactly like Christ. You know as He knows. That's why I can't wait for that day. If I sing now, the anointing will catch all of you. And finally, number four. We have access. Salvation gives you access to all that we need to fulfill God's plan for us on earth. Listen, church. All that you need to fulfill God's plan for you on earth has been made available. That's why it's an error for you to live like the world in order to get things. Let's read two scriptures so that we can close. Romans chapter 8, verse 32, then 1 Corinthians chapter 3, verse 21 and 22. Romans 8 32. That Romans 8 32. He who did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all. How shall he not with him also freely give us some things? Please believe it, church. All that you need, you can get it freely. You can get it what? Freely. If he did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all. How shall he not with him, with Christ in your life, freely give you how many things? All things. First Corinthians 3, 21 to 22. We have access to all things that pertains to life and godliness. Therefore, let no one boast in men. Don't boast of the people that you know.
SPEAKER_04For all things are what are yours, all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Kempus or the world or life or death, all things present, all things to come.
SPEAKER_03How many are yours? All are yours, all are yours. All are yours. Let that mind be in you. Everything you need is available. Everything without compromising your faith. Am I talking to somebody? Everything, all are yours. All it takes to fulfill God's plans and purpose for you are available. That's why you start seeing yourself from God's perspective. Let me round up so that we can understand that. Now, if Jesus perfectly finished the work and the war is over, why are we still faced with battles? Let me close with that. Why are we still faced with battles? Because somebody said, I said the war is over. The war is over because your eternity is guaranteed. You have been reconciled back to God. You are now a partaker of God's life. You can't be separated from God anymore. Your name is in the Lamb's Book of Life. You are going to live with Him forever. Listen, even if you win all the battles here on earth and you didn't win the war, it's a waste of victory for all the battles you win. Am I talking to somebody? Oh, thank God, I'm blessed. I I have a good spouse, I'm making money, I'm doing this, I have children, everything is okay for me, I'm enjoying good health, praise the Lord. If you are not born again and you refuse to get born again, you have lost the war. All those things end with you here on earth. Now, if Jesus perfectly finished the walk and the war is over, why are we still faced with battles? Listen carefully, church. What is that assignment? Reconciling the world to God. He wants us to have enough personal challenge that will not allow us to pay attention to what God wants us to do. There are people who are meant to be financial giants in the kingdom, but he focuses them on their own personal problem to the extent that they don't remember to do what they are supposed to do, thereby distracting them from carrying out their kingdom assignments. He wants to attack your health so that your focus can be on how to get well, and you won't remember God's assignments. He wants to attack your marriage. Those are battles that you must win.
SPEAKER_02How do you win it? Very simple.
SPEAKER_03Can we read it together? Church, one, two, go. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Fight the good fight of what? So your fight is not with the devil, he's defeated. You are meant to cast him out, you are meant to make decrease, you are meant to shapen your life and your environment by the word of your mouth. Am I talking to somebody? But for that to be effective, you must fight the good fight of faith. It is when you fight the good fight of faith by laboring, fighting to see yourself in this through the eyes of God, seeing yourself in the light of who God says you are. He said because they have always told him that he was dull. Everybody told him he was dull. He said, In fact, he said the sum of the subject he got zero percent, twelve percent. He said the highest was twenty-something percent. He said, He never passed one paper in form one because he has believed he was dull. He said, but he didn't know what happened, they pushed him to form two. Then it was not the day of GSS form one to five. So they pushed him into form two. And in form two, the first time, they brought a guy that came to serve. Um they maybe teaching practice or something like that. And he said, That guy now gave them six algebra problems to solve. He said, Perhaps God showed him mercy, and the genius in him rose up that day. He said, He did this thing and he submitted. He said, When they marked, the teacher marked, and the following day announcing the results, those who got three over six, four over six, he started with those ones, and he said he was expecting his own. He said, Because he actually didn't know he did well, because he had no confidence in himself. Somebody, something will shift in you this morning. You begin to live above people's opinion of you. If you believe it, let your women show it. He said, And the man kept on held on to his own paper. So when he has distributed the rest, he now said, Whose name is this? He said, he raised his hand. Say he was afraid. Ah, I'm going to be disgraced again. Maybe I'm the only one that has zero over six. He now said, Come out. He now said, Everybody celebrate him. Rise up and celebrate. He said, They celebrated him. He now look at him, steered at him, say, You are a mathematician. Only a mathematician can get six over six in this thing. Says something he said that moment is like something shifted in him. And he said, Really, I am a mathematician. He said, And that word keeps ringing in his ears and in his heart. He said, So he started the way he read changed. He said, because I'm a mathematician, I must read more. He said, when he was preparing for exam, he said, I'm a mathematician, I must prepare well. He said that was how he started. He said, so when he graduated, I mean he finished his school side. He said he did his A level without attending any school. He taught himself and he still got AA in applied mass and the normal mass. He said, because I'm a mathematician. I'm going to read mathematics in the university. He said, he will enter university as a mathematician. He said that thing kept on ringing in his heart. He graduated with first class and eventually had a PhD. What am I trying to show you? You are beyond what people can see. Don't let people reduce your life to what they can see. Your English might not be smooth. Your life must be smooth. Am I talking to somebody? Look at him. Uh-uh. Look at that thing. See yourself in the light of who God has made you to be. Because you must start seeing yourself the way God sees you in Christ. You are anointed. You are holy. Am I talking to somebody? You are in right standing with God. Irrespective of your struggles. You must fight the good fight of faith. The fight, good fight of faith is more than who you are seeing. Jesus died for me. And God reconciled me back to Himself. I am anointed. Listen, church, stop living your life based on human validation. Somebody might answer, nah, is now I know you are a man of God. I say, I knew that. Am I talking to somebody? Because people will look for physical proof in your life to accept that you are who God says you are. Before that proof shows up, you believe that you are who God says you are. Am I talking to somebody? It will reflect in how you handle the issues of life. It will reflect in how you do your work. It will reflect in how you relate with people. It will reflect in how you handle challenges. 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 16 in closing. It is a completion of the Easter message. Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer. Let's read it from amplified. Amplified. Consequently, from now on, we estimate and regard no one from a purely human point of view. In terms of natural standards of value, no. No, no. Even though we once did estimate Christ from a woman viewpoint, and as a man, yet now we have such knowledge of him that we know him no longer in terms of the flesh. See, church, this is the reason why God can use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The one you call foolish might be God's instrument of liberation for your life. The one you call weak might be the one that is going to be a major start tomorrow. Am I talking to somebody? And the reason is that God sees beyond what we see. He looks beyond what we look at. Can I say something to you, Church? That person sitting by your side now, just use one eye to look at them. To your right, to your left. That person sitting there. If only you know where they would be in five years' time, you will treat them better today.
SPEAKER_04That person by your side.
SPEAKER_03God is seeing a global champion. You might be seen a weak, useless human being. God is seeing a vessel of honor that He has by mercy chosen. Am I talking to somebody here? Somebody has looked at me. Said, my my mother's mother's birth to me. The pain my mother suffered when she gave birth to me was a waste. Which insult would be more than that? That means he told me quite directly that I was useless. Not an outsider, my own uncle. But that day I told him to his face. My mom's immediate, he's late now. My mom's immediate younger brother. I told him, I said, sir, is that why you sent for me? Because he sent for. See, woman being a wonderful. Somebody sent for me. I enter motto. Money will not get. I look for him and think I enter motto. Go meet him. Thinking that he has something good for me. Fed me with bad words. And expected me to go home with it. Thank God, God help me. I said, Daddy, is that why you sent for me? He said, Yes. He said, Since your head, no correct. This is your past thought in you. You say, see, see your life. You are finished. I said, if that's the case, I want to assure you, sir. I will help you before you die. I will help support your children. And he busted into laughter. He said, I didn't say you call yourself pastor. I don't want to say you don't become comedian. But what I said came to pass. It came to pass. Listen. Stop praying that people should die. Some people don't need to die. If they die, it's good for them because they won't see something. See, the best thing for your enemy, God bless you, sir, is for them to see you rise and they can't do anything about it. That is what shows superiority. Am I talking to them? That is where the real superiority lies. You are rising, they veste them, they paint them. I don't want to sing that guy's song. As if they paint them. Leave me alone. But you see, what am I saying? That is the proof that God is actually working in you. To be afraid of the existence of your enemy, those who hate you, means you are. God should be more afraid now. Or if God will not be afraid of any adversary, in spite of Satan, the will of God is still being done. God's will for your life must be done. So the death and resurrection of Jesus put an end to the enmity between you and God. Brought you into a place of reconciliation where you became exactly like God. And you have his authority to function here on earth, to fulfill all his will for your life, irrespective of who is against you. I want you to leave this church this morning, this service this morning, with absolute confidence that your life is not in anybody's hand. That nobody can sit somewhere and determine what becomes of you. Because Jesus finished the work and he has won the war on your behalf and has reconciled you back to God, you are now exactly like God. You have the nature of Christ in you. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you lose on earth is loose in heaven. You have the keys of the kingdom. And I announce to you, you won't die by sickness. You will not die by accident. You will not die through the hands of any mortal man. In the name of Jesus, all that God has ordained you to be. For any shame you might have gone through in this life, in the name of Jesus, my God gives you double honor. You will enjoy double honor in the name of Jesus. Whatsoever the enemy meant for evil in your life, if you are the one, if you are present in this service, and I'm talking to you by the Spirit of the Lord, whatsoever the enemy meant for evil in your life and your family, it will work together for your good. Everyone waiting for your day of shame will wait in vain. In the name of Jesus, if you are under the sound of my voice, you have been stuck. You have been stuck. Nothing seems to work. You labored, you tried all your efforts, you still you are still on one spot. From today, the hand of the Lord move you from that situation, the wisdom you need to write in the name of Jesus, the Lord unveil them to you in the name of Jesus, everything contending with your life, everything laboring to sit on what is meant for you as you agree with your strongest amen. We send them into captivity for your sake now. Look up, church. Do you know why you must operate in divine authority? Because of things that you need, the things you need are controlled by men, and you see, if it's controlled by men, men that are under the control of the devil, if you are not exercising your authority, you'll be a child of God, you'll be serving him, but what's supposed to come to you might not come. Why you have not stood your ground. Listen, somebody must claim back what belongs to him now. Hello, hello, you must take back what belongs to you. There must we have been praying for restoration. There must be a restoration in your life and family. Church, you are not too old to fulfill destiny. You are not too old. Live that lie that the devil told you.

I stand in the name of Jesus, I proclaim it by the power of the living Christ that the anointing to outrun those who seem to be ahead of you rest upon you now in the name of Jesus. If Elijah, who ran on his feet, could outrun Ahab who rode in a chariot. If you can direct your hands towards the altar, I prophesy, I speak it by the authority of the name of Jesus, by the same token, by the same power, by the same authority we have in Christ. I decree now let the hands of the Lord come upon you. Begin to outrun those who have looked down on you from today in the name of Jesus. Listen, you are going from the back to the front.

SPEAKER_03You are going to rebuke the spirit behind any form of delay in your life. You are going to rebuke the spirit behind any form of denial. Whatever makes people to deny you your right, deny you what is meant for you, what heaven has approved for you. You are going to rebuke that spirit. I'm led to lead you into that prayer. You are going to rebuke any spirit behind delay, behind denial, behind diversion. Hello. And you are waiting to give it to him. He should up. Someone just said, forget that one, give to this. You are going to visit A with the mind of giving something to that A. On your way to the you pass the junction of C. Say, why don't you stop over in C's place? And see C. You see, stop over in C's place. And you finish praying. And something say it's better you give it to this C. Just emotional thing, no, not spiritual. Not spiritual. You know, when you do something out of emotion, you know. When it is by the spirit, you know. Am I talking to somebody? And you are finished when you say, ah no, no, no, no, no. But you can't go and collect it back. It's okay. I will do for that person later, later, later, later, later until later revealed. Are you in church this morning? Today, 5th of April. Today, 5th of April, I usher you into your season of recovery. I usher you into your season of full restoration. In the name of Jesus. Can you lift up your right hand and say in the name of Jesus? Every power assigned to deprive me, to cause a delay, to deny me of what is legally mine, of what is rightfully mine.
SPEAKER_04In the name of Jesus, I stand on the finished work of Jesus. I stand in my place in Christ. I command you now. Lose your grip over my affairs, lose your hold over what is mine. In the name of Jesus, all that belongs to me that you are holding on to, that you are diverting. Gather them back to me now. I receive them back from this moment. In the name of Jesus, turn into prayer. Lose your grip over what is mine. Lose your hold over my portion. For all that belongs to you, call them forth, call them forth. All that are mine, all that are mine, all that are mine, all that heaven have allocated to me, all that heaven have assigned to me. Come to me now, come to me now. The appointment that is for me, every resources that are mine, every man, every woman that the Lord has commanded to help me, to support me. I call them forth. I call them forth. Let your eyes be open to locate me, to identify with me. Let your heart and their mind be open to identify with me from today.
SPEAKER_03For you and people can sense it in the spirit. Listen, don't think people are mocking you when you don't have money. Yeah, they are coming to you to borrow their money. They can perceive your cloud. It's just that you have not experienced the rain. But henceforth, if you can agree with your loudest image, your rain begins to fall. No, it's not murder. When people tell you, you are supposed to marry marriage. Don't just think they are putting you under pressure. It's because your cloud is full. But that cloud will not be rolled away. It must pour out rain. It must pour out rain. Your cloud must produce rain. If you are the one I'm praying for, by the authority of Jesus from today, your cloud produce rain. Your rain will be heavy.
SPEAKER_04Your rain will be heavy.
SPEAKER_03Your rain will be heavy. By the outpouring of this rain in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord, I decree over your life that everything called dryness, spiritual dryness, financial dryness, dryness of any kind ends permanently in your life and family.
SPEAKER_04In the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_03Can you just in two minutes? I refuse to be a cloud without rain. As a child of God, I refuse to be a cloud without rain. As a child of God, I will manifest the grace of God. I am manifesting the grace of God. I'm manifesting the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I will not carry God in me and live as a failure. I refuse to be a cloud without rain. No, I will not carry God in me and live as an anointing. You must have your own children. As a man that is married, you must have your own children.
SPEAKER_04I refuse to be a clown with a great lip of your voice and upon me! Up on it of your goodness! Up on it of your family! Up on my life, upon my family! Your win for me will be done! Your blood for my life will be both!
