First thing is Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers again. And although we have been going through like a series for soul winning, uh I think we'll have to take a pause on that just for today and talk about mothers, amen. And how important and pivotal they are to our journey. Praise God. Everyone here has at least one thing in common is we all have a mom. Amen. That's how we all came came here. So I want us to start with um taking out our notebooks if you have them and your and your uh and your pens. So the first thing you must know is that a mother is a portal according to God. Mothers are portals. When God created this world, he ensured that there's only one way to come into this world legitimately, and he created a portal, a door to this world. So if a human being comes into this world through any other means, that's an illegitimate human being, and you have the right to detain that human being. It's like, for example, if if I come across a dog and the dog is speaking, I would detain that dog. Do you understand that? Yeah, the dog is immediately in detention. Why? Because you should not be talking, so you know, if I find this this dog, which you know you're likely to find in northwest London, because that place is a strange place, but if if I find such a thing, I would detain that dog in the same manner. God has the same posture. If we find human beings or entities or whatever you may call them in this world without going through the proper channel, which is a mother, yeah, immediately that's an illegal being, and so we find these beings in the book of Genesis. The Bible said they came into this world, all right, without going through the proper channels, they landed here. But the thing is now, they had a time attached to them, they couldn't live on earth legitimately for long. They had to go, amen. So they found that we're gonna use the proper channels. We got here legally, but in order for our offsprings to live, we need to bring them here legally. So the Bible says they found women, fair women, whom they found to be appropriate for their lusts, and procreated with these women. Amen. And then that's where we have uh the giants of old. Men of renown, powerful men. The Bible also teaches us that these beings taught us how to war, taught us magic. Alright, when I say us, I mean humanity, they taught all these things, these things were not known. Astral projection, all of these things, witchcraft, it was these beings, these beings were called sons of God, amen. And they were appointed as uh chief princes over nations. Now, let me shed a bit more light on this before I start talking about our dear mothers. If you look at when Daniel was fasting, the Bible says that he fasted, and the moment he started his fast, God sent down an angel by the name of Gabriel. So Gabriel came down, but the Bible also says that Gabriel was detained. Do you remember that? He was detained, and Gabriel was, you know, giving this explanation to Daniel. He said, I was detained by the prince of Persia. Okay, the prince of Persia, you gotta listen to the wordings. It means that there's a chief demon in charge of Persia, which is now Iran today. Praise the Lord. So the head chief demon of Iran arrested a messenger of God for Israel. Are you following? And then right after that, God sends the chief prince of Israel. You didn't catch that when you read that, did you? The chief prince of Israel was Michael. How do I know? Because there were some countries that were given to Satan, and there were some countries that God said, These are my own. Originally, God had placed princes above nations, some turned away from him, so he said, I'll keep Israel for my own. So Archangel Michael was the chief prince of Israel. That's why the Bible says, When Michael came, then Gabriel could leave. Because Michael had the authority to deal with the other ones. Is this too difficult for you? Are you sure? So, you know, he was he was released, and uh the message was given to Daniel, and I love how he got there. He said, Oh Daniel, you are so beloved, you are so loved by God. The moment you started praying, God sent me straight away. Praise God forevermore. So these watchers, all right, sons of God, they chose fair women. They said, We're gonna come in, we're gonna, you know, multiply our ourselves through a legitimate mean. Now, why is this important? It's because I know as a young lady, you're group you guys are growing as young ladies, you grow and you don't understand yourself, you don't know the power that you carry, and so you may let anyone just give you a child, not understanding that you're a portal, and you're allowing the very guy that's with you to bring his seeds into this world, sir, and for you to give him that privilege, you must say, I want more of him in this world. That's the way you have to see it. You don't you don't you don't just come together with someone because you like them. What are you talking about? It's the same as you don't eat food just because you like it. I know some of you do. You don't eat food just because just because you like the taste, no, because some foods are harmful, they harm the body. Amen. They taste good, but they harm the body, so you don't give that food attention, don't give it your attention, but it's nice. Likewise, you can see a man that you think is very handsome, very kind, and you like him, it doesn't qualify him to access your body in that manner, and then for you to take a step further and give him children, or give him a child, and off the back of that, you're complaining about him. How do you give a child to someone you're complaining about? I don't like this about him, I don't like this about him. I don't, but you're you're giving birth to another him. But I don't like this about him, I don't like this, I don't like. But let's let's give the world more of us. Are you listening? The word of God is for reproach, it's for correction. Do you understand? When you're listening to the word being ministered to you, don't be defensive. Have an open spirit, a teachable spirit. You come in and you say, I'm gonna learn how to improve my life. Praise God forevermore. So, women, all right, you are portals, and when you become a mother, you're an assured portal. Now, in the scripture, God shut down some portals because he wasn't happy with their decisions, he shut down some portals because he wanted to protect the purity of that portal. Think about this. The women in Genesis who procreated with these demonic beings and brought more havoc into the world, they were corrupted. Remember, God said, I'm I repent for making human beings, I'm angry, I shouldn't have made human beings. Those women will and were held responsible for the decisions they made. But then there are some when you come into the New Testament that God said, I know that you could make the same mistakes as the one in Genesis, so I'm gonna shut your belly, I'm gonna shut you down. So you know, for purity's sake. Can I show you them? By the time I'm finished with you today, you will not take giving birth lightly. No, because some of you walk around, I have baby fever. Shh quiet, keep quiet. Maybe they don't talk about baby fever, you don't know what you're talking about.

unknown 12:38

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 12:39

Praise God. Yeah, you don't know what you're saying. I have baby fever, you're caught you're confessing it. I have I have baby fever. Praise the Lord. Before you talk about baby fever, first let's deal with the the decision making on who am I gonna, you know, bring into this world. Because the person you choose to have children with determines who you bring into this world. Amen. Who you bring into this world. There was a a young man that I I came across and he had this uh him and his sister had this unusual alright this temper. But absent of the temper, they're very sweet people, but they had this unusual temper. I don't think they noticed it, but I noticed it. This is unusual, and they can do anything when they get angry. I mean anything. So I said specifically uh to the guy, I said, Are you aware that this is something that you have? He said, Yeah, because I noticed that when I get upset, it goes very far. So I said, Okay, give me a couple of days, I'll go and pray, I'll speak to God and ask him how to do with your case. So I've gone off now, I didn't fast or pray or anything, I just did a prayer session specifically for him, and I prayed, and God showed me something, and God said, The day this young gentleman was being conceived, his father was drunk. So he released that seed whilst being drunk, amen, and just before that, him and his partner had had a massive disagreement. It's so interesting how the world glorifies things that God looks down on. So I went to ask, I went to ask him first because I have to fact-check. You know, if God tells you something, sometimes it's important for you to clarify this. So I went to ask him, I said, Did your dad ever drink? He said, drink, my dad and the drink were together all the time. So the guy's drunk all the time, and he would drink and it will make him angry, and then he would do things to mom. And uh, we watched this growing up. Amen. So he clarified what God had told me, and so God said it's him and his sister together. When the mother conceived the second one, it was in it was in drunkenness and anger. So the state of his, so think think of it like this he deposited a seed in her in that state. You're not you're not reproducing you in 2007, you're reproducing you now. That's why some families you see, one sibling is so nice, and the other sibling, you think this guy must be the cousin of Belzebub. With the way this this this this one is behaving. How do you two come from the same family? Is when he when he conceived when the mother conceived one, she had given her life, he had given his life to Christ, and he was walking straight and narrow, but the other one, the dad was finished, is at the end of his road. Amen. So you effectively you're reproducing your current state. I want you to pick that up. So the world glorifies you coming together with your. I'm gonna say wife, alright? Because I don't like any other term. Girlfriend makes makes us nauseous. We don't we're not interested. Okay, so so can we bring a wife? Say I'm a wife. Say I'm a wife. Good, brilliant. Alright, so where was I? I'm saying that you reproduce your current state, so the world they glorify you coming together with your wife whilst you're angry, and they call it makeup. What do they call it? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about there, but it's because you don't know spiritual laws, that's why. So you're gonna go and do the makeup stuff, but you don't know that that that very thing, you before you even do that, thing is spiritual. What you're what you're doing there, you gotta go into the place of prayer. Go into the place of prayer, okay, Pastor. What if she doesn't give birth? You've deposited that very entity you are carrying in her, so don't be surprised if tomorrow she looks like you.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

So you got to be careful, you have to walk circumspectly. Tell that to your neighbor, be careful how you tread. Alright. Let me show you some stuff. Let's go to Judges chapter thirteen.

SPEAKER_03 19:13

Thank you, sir. Judges chapter thirteen from verse one says Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. Verse 7 Now there was a certain man from Zora of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah, and his wife was barren and had no children. Verse 3. And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, Indeed now you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Verse 4. Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. Verse 5. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Verse 6. So the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very awesome, but I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name. Verse 7, and he said to me, Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazareth to God from the womb to the day of his death. Verse 8. Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, O my Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

Praise the Lord. I found that text to be so interesting. Now, first thing I want you to learn today, or the second thing rather, is that as a woman, when you get to the stage where you're carrying a baby, God will speak to you before he speaks to your husband. That's all over the Bible. Doesn't matter whether your husband is a prophet or not. Okay, God will speak to the woman first. Now, that was a nice thing that God said. Amen. But there have been other times in the Bible. Where God said to the woman, This child will be a terrible child. You don't like that? God, let's look at Esau and Jacob. What did God say about Esau? God said, One will serve the other. God mapped it out. He said this would happen. God is aware. He looked at one child and said, one is corrupt, the other one isn't. Praise God forevermore. So, women, be careful who you choose to come together with. Just because you're a believer, it doesn't mean the child will have a good destiny. Remember, you're a portal. As you are the portal, God has to speak and converse with you first and communicate with you. In two, three years, some of you will have children. Alright, this is very relevant for you. Praise the Lord. I've heard mothers say, I regret. I regret meeting the father of this child. And then later say, This child, your this child is turning into the father. You started off by saying, No, this child, I love this is my child. I love this this child. I hate the father. 12 years in, you start looking at the face of the child. You say, you look at the characters of the child, you say, This this boy is his dad. Of course, he's his dad. Of course. This thing of marriage takes wisdom. It takes wisdom. Men, if you don't like 60-70% of her, don't give her a child. Because your very daughter would you see children? Children are the uncontrolled version of you. Yeah. Whatever you're complaining about within that child, you have that same thing, just controlled. Just assess yourself. Amen. It's a hard truth to it's a hard pill to swallow, but you gotta swallow it.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 25:13

So as a man, if you're if you if you're if you don't like what you see, what you're seeing the characters you're seeing, you're seeing you're saying she's rude and disrespectful, she doesn't respect me, she doesn't do not give her a seed, because that seed will end up disrespecting you more than she has. They've been 20 years together, they split because the wife was unbearable to deal with, and the daughter of the father. I was there when they met physically because we're trying to cause them to come together. I was physically there. He said, I don't want to talk to him, he's just a sperm donor. I was physically there. I said, Well, even the mom has never said that, even you know she's controlled. The disrespect is a controlled one. The child took it to the next level. What are you gonna do? Kill the child. That's another problem on your conscience. Praise God. Now, interestingly, if you look at the text, God says to Manoah's uh wife, he says, first things first, yeah, you're gonna have a child, this child will deliver Israel from the Philistines. He starts giving the you know the mother the future of the child first, after the future of the child, uh the angel of God starts to speak about the process of the child, how to raise the child up. Are you listening? Because the way you raise the child has to be connected to the child's destiny and future. Said, ensure this child does not take alcohol, make sure of it. Amen. Now, if you read the text, what it actually says is ensure you don't take alcohol. Don't worry, I know my stuff. I know my stuff. Why would God say you don't take alcohol? Because he doesn't want the child to take alcohol. Amen. So he addresses the mother, he says, make sure you don't drink alcohol carrying this baby. Alright? And then he addresses the child itself and says, Make sure no razor comes upon the child's head.

SPEAKER_00 28:26

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

Does it speak about who he should marry there? But that's later on. So if you continue reading, later on, there's some guidance for Samson. You should not marry from here, from there, from there. Because God understood that from long ago. How many you guys have been with me for some time? How many men have I showed you that went astray because of their wives? The the wife brought foreign gods into the house. Praise God forevermore. The Bible equally tells us that Manoah's wife was barren. Is that so? Yeah, she was barren. God shut the portal because he wanted purity and instruction. So as a woman, sometimes it requires for you to say, nobody will touch me. Even if it takes 15 years, because I want to honor God and do things properly. I know when I talk about these types of when I you know preach these types of messages, you don't like it. Because you want to do what you want to do. You want to be free. Last year, you were one year younger. Amen. You were 21. You blink, you're 30. I'm telling you, just like that. I remember when some of you were 16, 17, when I came across you. You're 24 now, 23. So put a pin in uh judges chapter 13. We're gonna revisit it. I want to show you some consistencies. Luke chapter 1, verse 26.

SPEAKER_03 30:54

Thank you, sir. Luke chapter 1 from verse 26 says, Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent to God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth. Verse 27, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. Verse 28, and having come in, the angel said to her, Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women. Verse 29. But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Verse 30. Then the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. Verse 31. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus. Verse 32. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. Verse 33. And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom there will be no end. Verse thirty four. Then Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I do not know a man? Verse thirty five. And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the highest will shadow will overshadow you. Therefore also, that holy one who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Verse 36. Now indeed, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is now the sixth month for her who was called Baron.

SPEAKER_00 32:53

Amen. Praise the Lord.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

So if you look at Mary's situation, it was very similar to Manoah's wife. Right? The angel appeared to the woman. Is that correct? He appeared to the woman and said, This will be the name of the child, as it was with Manoah's wife. This is what the child would do. He would deliver Israel from the Philistines. He will be the Son of God. The kingdom of God will be given unto him. So you can see a consistency. Praise the Lord. Now, I found that many children were given birth to and were raised, and the parents didn't know who they gave birth to. This is the problem when you do things outside of God's structure. This is supposed to be the experience of everyone that is a believer in the body of Christ that gives birth to children. Now, when I say experience, I'm not saying that an angel must come from heaven to tell you about the child. No, because we have the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit should minister to you about that child. So a lot of kids, a lot of young people have come to me and said, Sir, I'm 19, I'm 20, I'm very confused about what I want to do. Very confused. You're confused because you were never told. If as you were growing, you were told you're a tennis player, you'll be playing tennis, you would never come across me and say, I'm confused. You were never told. Of course, you don't know what career path to take. You were never told. And your parents were also never told. So you find that those who God wanted to use from young, He had to use them at the age of 50 or 60 or 70 for a short time. Because it took them 30 years to discover who they were when God could have just simply given you the message. Praise the Lord. I grew up with a young man like that, you know. I grew up with a young man. He was very talented at multiple things. He was a good basketball player, he was a good tennis player, he was a good footballer, he could do everything. He was better than all of us. And I used to think, how is he so good at all the sports? And academically, he was brilliant. Amen. I don't know what they were telling him in his house, but in my house, whereas I was a tyrant, my dad would always say, You are a man of God, you're a prophet.

SPEAKER_00 36:12

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

So what are you talking about? But he was saying it nevertheless, he continued saying it, this is who you are, this is who you are. And then I found 15 years later, I'm in a Tesco, right? I walk into this Tesco and I see JP, you know, stacking the shelves. He looked very different. He looked tired. And I was hesitant to approach him, but I approached and I said, Is this your name? He said, Yeah, how do you know? I said, I went to school with you, don't you remember me? So I introduced myself and we started laughing and laughing about school and how things were and stuff. Amen. And then I had to ask, it was a bur it was burning on my chest. I had to ask, This is the most brilliant guy I've ever met at that age. He was the reference. You know, when you're in trouble and the teacher says to you, Why can't you be like him? You know, and in my in my response, I'll say, Because I'm not him. Like, what else do you want me to say? But he was the reference. So I asked him, I said, What's going on? What what happened? And sometimes I can be very straightforward, you know. So I said, What happened? And he knew what I was asking him. Because I know his history. I said, What happened? He said, I don't know. Things just didn't fall through for me. I said, What do you mean? And he said something that will stick with me, it will never it has never left me, and it will never leave me. And I'm applying it with my kids today. He said, I was good at everything, and none of my parents made me focus on one thing. So his attention was split between football, then he will run to tennis, then he's swimming. He's so good at everything. He was even riding horses. Yeah, they put him in the lessons, he was doing the horsing thing. I now discovered that in the aisle in Tesco, he said, Bro, do you know that I was even I'm riding, I can ride horses, bro? I said, Wow! And he said, But I was so confused, I didn't know what path to go down, so I was chasing all of them. Which reminds me of uh something my dad said. He said, if you chase many chickens, you will lose them all. He said, if there's five chickens in front of you, target one. Say that I'm gonna go for that one. I don't care where the other ones go, that's the chicken I'm going for. So if the chicken goes east, you run east. Plan for east. You're too quiet. Maybe I'm not speaking wisdom. Am I giving you foolishness? He said, run east, and he said, run east fast. He said, plan for east. Even if you don't see the chicken, you know it's going east, you will catch it at the end. Go and get that chicken, brother. Amen. So that's the strategy he was using with me. He didn't push me into many things, but he kept on saying the same thing. You're a prophet, you're a prophet, you're a prophet. And I mean it started happening. Because no matter what I was doing, I played basketball, I went to America, I stayed there for a year, I played basketball there, I came back, I started businesses, they failed. I did so many things, I ended up a pastor. Amen. Because dad was determined to push me in one direction, just one direction. Because when I was born, he heard God say, This is a prophet. This is a this child of yours is a prophet. Praise the Lord. So I asked him, What happened to your tennis? You were the best we've ever seen. You're better than the girls. He said, I just dropped it because I thought I was better at swimming. I said, Alright, I'd never seen you swim, but okay, no problem. So, what happened with swimming? He said, I dropped it because I thought I was better at football. Should I keep going? Confusion all around. So eventually he dropped everything because for him, he's now good at stacking shelves. That's his thing now. So that's where he he landed. Now, there's nothing wrong with stacking shelves, brother. Amen. But that should be a means to an end. Like you you are going through stacking shelves, you're not staying there. This is not your career, you're just stacking shelves as a career, you're going through it. Yeah, as in the shelf came to pass. Am I offending you? I didn't know so many people are stacking shelves in. I didn't know that. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm saying you have a vision, you're good, you're going through that. Amen.

unknown 41:34

Come on now.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

So that stuck with me in my spirit, and I said, I will not do that to my children. Yes, in the beginning, they'll start off being multi-faceted, you know. But at the age of six, seven, I'll start narrowing. And narrowing, and I'll be telling them, You're a man of God, you're a prophet, you're anointed, you're appointed. There's a glory on you. And for those that want to do music, I'll tell them God said you music. Yeah. You know, when one of my uh sons was born, uh, don't worry, I'll I'll I'm not digressing, I'll go back to this to the text. But one of my sons was born, and the moment he came out, because I saw him come out, my wife said, Well, I won't tell you what she said, but she she she mentioned his calling. She said, This is what he's meant to do. Now, what I heard I didn't like. I was like, that not my child, amen. But if I go by the scripture, okay, and she's a she's a Christian, one, she's a woman of God as well. So the Holy Spirit talks to her. If I go by the scripture, she's a hundred percent correct. She did what the scripture said she should do. So when he came out, she wasn't looking at him, oh my beautiful son. No, she was blessing him and speaking over him. The moment the child came out, she was blessing him, speaking over him, telling him who he is. So, this is who you are. I was watching the whole thing. I said, Let me get a chance to speak to him, too. You know, let me give him a piece of my mind, you know. But she was clinging on to the child, prophesying to the child, and and you know why it was so powerful? Because in the midst of emotion, there's power. That's how the power flows. The power flows through, you know, when you're healing, compassion. Do you understand? So I knew when she was talking to this kid, there's so much power coming from her. I said, Let me not disturb this service. There's a service going on. The nurses were looking, I was looking, everyone's looking. She's just locked in. They're saying to her, Look, we need to do this to the child. She said, Hold on, brother. She's talking to the child for about 10 minutes, she was drilling. Him and you know what? As I'm watching him, he's still young. As I'm watching him, he's running into that direction. The very thing she said he would do, that's what he's asking for. That's the only thing that keeps his attention. Praise God. Learn this because you're gonna have yours soon. Amen. Where did we stop? 36. Alright, let's go. Let's let's stay in Luke chapter 1, but let's go to 11. Now, in this text, you're gonna see what happens when God talks to the man instead. Alright? You're gonna see what happens when God speaks to the man. So alright, let's read.

SPEAKER_03 45:01

Thank you, sir. Luke chapter 1, from verse 11 says, Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. Verse 12, and when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. Verse 13, but the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. Verse 14, and you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. Verse 15, For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. Verse 16, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. Verse 17, he will also go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children.

SPEAKER_01 46:07

Did you hear that? No, that's so powerful. Continue reading that, that's so powerful.

SPEAKER_03 46:14

Thank you, sir. Luke chapter 1, verse 17 says, He will also go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Verse 18. And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.

SPEAKER_01 46:42

Now, now, can I stop you there? Thank you so much. God bless you. Look, Zacharias, yeah. Just like Mary and Manoah's wife, the angel appeared, spoke to the women. The women believed. They said, Yes. They asked one or two questions, but they believed. Amen. Do you remember when God spoke to another man about a child? Do you want to remember his name? Abraham. Did I show you what happened with Abraham? Abraham didn't believe. God said, Okay, come out your tent, brother. Let me show you something. He came out the tent, God said, Look up. He looked up, he saw all the stars. God said, That's how many children I will give you. God had to work his faith because he didn't believe. The angel appears to Zacharias, tells him the same thing. Now, I've done it back to front, but if you look at the text, it actually happened with Zacharias first, and then Mary after. Zacharias is there, he's listening to this word that's coming. He's like, How would this happen if I'm since I'm so old? The angel says, First of all, I am Angel Gabriel, I stand in the presence of God, and I'm delivering this message to you. One, two, you're gonna be dumb from today. Amen. Yeah, he said, from today. The brother couldn't even respond, he was dumb. God was not happy with the posture of his heart. Amen. Now, I found that the woman is the best vessel to receive prophecy about her child, okay, because of the natures that God has given her, and the fact that she's the one to bring him into this world, she's the door, she's the portal. Do you understand? Now, let me bring something else that to your spirit that you didn't notice. The angel of God didn't strike him dead, but he shut his mouth because the father, the father, listen, God can say, Yeah, that you are a prophet, and your dad says, No, you're a doctor, you will be a doctor. Did you hear what I said? God's intended will can be that you will be, you know, a singer all over the world. You have albums and do all this stuff for God, and your dad says, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Or we have doctors in our family, you must be a doctor. That's what you will be. Because the authority, the authority to launch the child into the next generation is given to the father. The Bible says children are arrows into the future for the man, not the woman. So the journey belongs to the man. Are you understanding that? The nurturing belongs to the woman, but the journey belongs to the man. So God said, This guy with his doubt, he will torpedo my plan. So, what will I do? I'll close his mouth so he can't use his mouth to confuse the child, to impart the spirit of confusion on the child, of fear on the child. Are you listening? God says he will come before the Messiah. And God even starts describing that he will come with the spirit of Elijah. Now, what I find also interesting is that God expected them to know who Elijah was. There was no time for you to respond and say, Who's Elijah? What does Elijah mean? You know how we do things in the West. Mad questions. There was no time for that. He said, The spirit of Elijah is on the child. Period. I gotta go. What am I trying to drive home? That as a woman, if you want right, for God to use you to the best of his ability, fill up your spirit with the word so that whatever you have in your spirit you can deposit in that child. Drop culture and pick up the scripture. Stop telling that child in our family this is what we do. Because you're not reproducing for your family, you're reproducing for the kingdom. The agenda has changed.

unknown 51:59

That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 52:01

Amen. I had something that I wanted my second son to do. God said something else. Now I can torpedo that plan. Because I'm his father. Amen. But that would be unwise. That's how Hitlers are born. Amen. Now you're forgetting that Hitler had a father and a mother. Lesson. You got two more. We got two more minutes. Just read. Continue reading there for me.

SPEAKER_03 52:45

Thank you, sir. Luke chapter 1 from verse 17 says, He will also go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Verse 18. And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years. Verse 19. And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. Verse 20. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the days these things take place.

SPEAKER_01 53:36

Yeah, God said, I don't want you confusing the baby. We don't want John the Baptist to come out, John the Raver. You know, John the clubber. He's just guys talking about clubbing. You're supposed to be introducing the prophet of our nation. Yeah, what are you talking about? Amen. Yeah, some children are really confused. Say, I want to travel the nations, sir. I just want to travel. I feel like I'm called to traveling. Traveling is not a calling. Let me show you how powerful women are. Yeah, the Bible says Isaac favored Esau because Esau was like him, he was a hunter. The mother said, I it doesn't matter who you favor, it doesn't matter who you favor. As long as I'm involved in this, Jacob will be the one to get the blessing and to it, you know, to create Israel. Yeah. The mother said, and if you look at the text, Jacob responded to the mother when she was devising this plan. She said, He said, Mom, we'll be cursed. She said, Don't worry about the curse, I will take it on me. Go and read the text. She said, I will take the curse on me. You're not going to be cursed, you'll be blessed. Let me be cursed for you to go and be successful. That's the power of a mother. That's the power of a mother. The mother raises the child. Are you listening? But you can only give what you have, right? Yeah. So you've got to fill yourself up with the virtues of God so you may be able to deposit that in the child. Some children I meet, or some young people I meet, you know, they're so depressed and so sad. And even something good can happen, and their reaction is still depressed, and they've been like that for so long that their face starts to wear that character. Have you ever met someone who's so depressed they have to tell you when they're happy?

unknown 55:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 55:45

Have you met someone like that before? No, I'm happy. They have to notify everyone that they're happy because they've been in depression for so long. You'll be shocked. What that the parents of the child is like, especially the mother. Listen, if you're not happy with how your parents brought you up and you suffered a lot, don't do the same thing for your child. Be better for your children. Do you understand? Create a better environment for your children. Yeah. Create a better environment for your children. Don't raise them with curses, you're cursing them. You preach patience and you're not demonstrating patience in the house. How are you going to raise them? I was telling one of my colleague pastors yesterday that before your child turns 18, you have to win them over at least six times. When they turn five, you win them to Christ. By the time they tend, they forgot who Christ is. You win them again. They turn 15, you win them again. They turn 18, win them again. Maybe the last time is when they turn 22. You win them again. At 22, they're established. They know now. Praise God. The worst kids out there that I have to mentor come from Christian homes. Two parent household Christian homes. Because mom is preaching about Christ, yet, when you get home, she's the first to curse you. You don't like that. Should I speak about prosperity? Should I bless you and say you have money? Amen. If you're gonna win them, it has to be through your character. That's why you need the word in you. You say you pray in the morning, the mercies of the Lord are new. When your child makes one mistake, there's no mercy at all. The mercies of the Lord are new every day. Where is the mercies of the mother and the father? Where's that? They should be able to see the characteristics of the scripture in your behavior. They know they did something wrong. They approach you. We did something wrong. And you look, they you know that you know this is supposed to be some beat downs. They know that this is supposed to be, you know, and you look and say, It's as well, it's as well. I'll speak to you later. And you leave. God told me that wisdom is slow and discernment is quiet. Those two things have changed my life. Wisdom is slow. I said, Lord, I love the revelation. Show me in the Bible. And God says, Didn't Satan rebel against me? I said, Yes, he did. God said, Open the Bible. When you find one place where I, God the Father, on my head, I speak negative about Satan. Come back to me. So I looked the entire Bible, not one place that God in heaven speaks negatively, negatively about Satan in the whole Bible. But when you get to Revelation, you find that he now tells us what will happen to Satan. I said, wisdom is slow. Wisdom doesn't rush. You hear news, you're ready to attack. That's not wisdom. Wisdom takes it in. You look at everything, and you bring it to you know the one who can measure the best, which is the Holy Spirit. You see something you don't like, take your time before rushing in. Because wisdom is slow.

SPEAKER_00 59:48

Praise God.

SPEAKER_01 59:51

Wives, even with your husbands, you know. I'm talking about wives and mothers because it's your day. Amen. Now that's why the Bible asks us that that's what patience is. Patience is wisdom. So you overlook things. Praise God forevermore. Yeah, wisdom is slow. Now, for some of you who are doubting what I'm saying, Jesus and God the Father are the same person but different ministries. And even Jesus himself spoke of Satan wisely. He said, I saw Satan falling like lightning. One. John chapter 10, verse 10. He comes to still kill and destroy. He wasn't cursing him, he was telling you what he does. I can go on and on and on. Amen. Not one place in the Bible that and if you look in Job, they're talking as friends. God says, Ah, where have you been? He says, I've been in Chatanga. Oh. Okay, okay. They're discussing. He says, Where did you, where did you, where have you been? And then after that, God says, Have you considered one of my guys there on earth where you're roaming? Have you considered him? He says, Oh, yeah, I know of that guy. He only he's only with you because you've been blessing him. Remove the blessing, and you'll see he'll turn on you. God says, Wanna bet? Say, oh, we'll bet. We'll bet. Alright, cool. They're talking. This is the guy that rebelled. You know, he did a coup. Do you know what a coup is? He said, I'm gonna take God's throne. God is talking to him as if they're boys, they've been boys for years. Talk about wisdom. God is talking to the guy that he knows he will chain him for eternity. He's he's dapping him up and he says, Yeah, you're gone. You're gonna be in hell soon, brother. Amen. Let me end the sermon here. I don't want to take too much time. Amen. What I want you to take home today, amen, is your ministry as a wife. You are too important. You're too important. The biggest moves in the scripture started with women. Yeah. The move of the spirit where God was winning thousands and thousands were women. It was just women. And if you look in the church today, even the body of Christ, there's more women than men. So if your woman says, I pledge allegiance to the precious Holy Spirit. My heart, my mind are pledged to the Holy Spirit. From today, I will push his agenda in my family. Amen. Yeah. You're not pushing culture. All of us were math teachers, so you must be a past teacher. No, no, you go into fast and say, God, if you're a mother and you haven't done that about your children, it's not too late. You can do it now. Go in there and say, God, tell me about this child. Talk to me about this child.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:13

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:15

Like I told the young lady there, yeah. I told you that your child is a prophet. Yeah. Put the microphone there. Put the mic. I sat with her and I looked at the the the baby. At the time we didn't know the gender. I said, I think it's a girl. Yeah. Right? That's what I said, yeah? Yeah. And then I said, I'll go and pray, and I'll come back and tell you what it is. I came back. I said, that's a boy. How did I know? It's because God told me what the child would do. So what did the child end up being?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:00

A prophet. And a boy.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:02

A boy. Amen. It's not about seeing, it's about knowing the character. You can remove the mic, knowing the character of that child. Now, because that child is a prophet, you can't live anyhow. You just can't. Because you'll be held accountable. You're holding someone who would hold the next generation in his hand. In the Caribbean, by the way. Yeah. That child is a prophet, especially in the Caribbean. God will use that child mightily. Because you know that you can't be, you know, in the club with the baby. What are we doing? No alcohol in the house, scriptures on the wall. You know this is what the child is called to do. So you raise the child in the way he should go. And the Bible says he will not depart from it. Praise God. You're so blessed. I want to call my wife forward to also minister to you. Amen. She has a lot of wisdom. So please give her your ear. Amen. She has a lot of wisdom. I know it because of how she deals with me. Amen. Behind closed doors. And as a husband, if I can testify on her behalf, then I think that my testimony is worth something. God bless you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:37

Amen. You may be seated. I don't believe I can add much more to this wonderful message. He basically well rounded the ministry of women and mothers in the body of Christ. And one thing that you have to bear in mind, as You are that portal, which means you are the door, you are a very, very important piece, very important, and God to God that matters as well. Because just as the man of God taught, for many women in the Bible, the first time God spoke to them, it was at their conception. Conception of the child. We have no record of God speaking to them before that. As soon as they have conceived, conceived a child that is supposed to carry on a message to this world, change the world, God speaks to the mother and says, see. So first and foremost, as the door, you have to be very, very, very diligent on what comes in and goes out. Who can enter you and who comes out of you. Whoever will come out of you is dependent on who enters you. And that's what the man of God said in the beginning of the message. I hope you didn't forget that whoever you decide to have a child with, be very careful. Be very, very careful. Do not leave it by chance or mistake. There are certain things that the world says it's okay to make a mistake in. It's not. It's not okay to make a mistake in that area. Because what is coming out of that mistake? Now I thank God for God's grace and his mercy. Because he has a reputation of making something that looks ugly so beautiful. He has the reputation of making a beautiful flower come out of ashes. So I thank God for his mercy. But he has given us a job. Very, very important. Now, as you are the door, you also have to guard that door. Guard it very diligently. It's so important. How do you guard it? With the word of God, as I said, you look at who enters and then the child that comes out of it. Now, it is one thing to hear and see what God has told you, it's another to understand it and to make sure it happens. Just because God spoke to you about a thing, it doesn't mean you have to wait till the child is 17 and so-and-so, and then you tell them, Look, Loki, Loki, you go and study, you go and know what it means to be, and be diligent about that child. Because more times in the scripture you can see, it is back Chiba when she saw that the kingdom was going to someone else. She rose up, but her child was old enough. She's the one that said, But David, King David, my child is the hair. You must. You were the one that makes it happen. The man of God spoke about Rebecca. She said, See, and guess what? She was diligent. Because when the father went and spoke to his first son, no one was there, it's just two of them. She was diligent. She was around the corner and she came at the right time. She said, As he's going, I've already prepared something. Go and give it quick, quick, quick, quick. She made sure that whatever God said happened. You understand? And that's also your job. Look at King Lemel's mother. She is the one that gave him so much wisdom about women. She preserved, she made sure that the position is preserved. It's not just about giving birth, pushing forth. It's very, very important. And I do the same thing with my children. I think yesterday I told the man of God has given his life to Christ at least 20 times. Yes, he's three years old. Before birth, say, aye, aye, accept Jesus, accept Jesus. And then I say, Congratulations. And he says, Yeah. He has no idea what he's talking about, but I know. I know what I'm talking about. Because if I don't take hold of him, the world will. He will go to school and they will teach him about gender dysmorphia. Please have to have hold of him before they do. So that when he gets there, he says, This doesn't seem right. This is not where I came from. And he will bring this home and say, Mom, that's what they say at school. I was saying it's not true. It's not true. Don't believe them. They're lying. They're lying. When you go there, tell them my mother said. I don't care. Tell them my mother said. As I said, let the curse be. Let them come to me and say, Your child is. Let them come. Come to me. I'll deal with you. Because one thing I'm not gonna do, if God said, Sabine, I've impregnated you with a king, that's all he said. That means he has given me the responsibility to make sure that that child becomes the king. That's not my job. The nurturing is the raising. Very, very important. Extremely important. Look at look at Timothy. Look at Timothy. The reputation that the grandma had. Look at Timothy. Did they speak about his father or his grandfather? Women. Your faith can transcend generations. All because of implantation. So important. So important. And my mother told me one thing. We had a conversation one more and she said, You see, mixed-race children. Say the mother is from Congo and the father is from Ireland. You will see that the child will act more like a Congolese rather than an Irish person. If you see a child acting more like an Irish person, just know that the mom is Irish. She's the one that will be speaking to you, teaching you, sending you so and so. You understand? She'll be nurturing herself to you. The food you'll be eating, that's all you will know. And that's just as important in the spiritual realm. What you know is what you give to your child. How you are raised in the spirit is what you'll give to your child. Do not think because we said your child is a prophet that it that you can be lukewarm. If your child is a prophet, you better become a prophet. Because how are you gonna raise a prophet without the knowledge? How are you gonna raise one? Very important. Better go and make it do your studies. If your child is to become a professor, the president, go and learn so you can impart on your child, and you know how important it is. Let me tell you the queen, the late queen of this country, her father died just like that, and they appointed her queen. Alright, she didn't know nothing, and the people that were around her, they were manipulating her to get their way around because no one imparted on her, no one gave her the deeds, she didn't know about history like that. You know, she had to learn about that whilst being queen. She had to learn about war whilst being queen. She wasn't prepared, so other people were able to manipulate the throne. What if she knew what would the outcome of this nation be? Because she's the same queen that invited the evangelist to her to her um um um Billy Graham. She invited him into the palace. Thank you. So imagine if she knew how much power she had, and the Lord was already ministering to her. Where would we be as a nation today? She didn't know, so the impact was reduced, was quenched. So the impact your child can have in the world is all dependent on you, and it's a big deal. Yes, even if it's not for small children, please, and I tell all the girls that are mentors that even when you get married, make sure, make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Because once you have crossed that line, there's no way back. I cannot undo being a mother. I can't undo it. I will be for the rest of my life, I will know I have a child out there, and the child will be in my heart, and my duty, you it will be my duty to pray for that child and to advise the child. You understand? Because I'll be ahead in life, I'll always have advice for it. Always for all three of them, and depending on how I raise them, is how they will take it. You understand? So I'm saying this so that you maybe you prepare yourself beforehand. The Bible says, He who finds a wife, he who finds, which means you haven't been married yet, but you are it. So be a mother before giving birth. Have the mind and the mentality which will lead you. You know, he gave the um the example. It was Ephraim I was given birth. I was blessing, he was on my chest, I was blessed, I was speaking, I was slurring my words. I made sure that my words hit the ground first. First and foremost. You understand? I didn't care. There's a work to do first. There's a work to do first, even in the scripture. As soon as the child is born, I call it this because this is this, because it's brought me joy, because it's brought me this, because it brought me this. That's a prophecy. And as much as some of them prophesied, some of them cursed, because it was conceived in tears. Ah, you're cursing your child, so what you speak over your child is what will hold. So it's very, very important. And I salute all mothers because what I've realized is you are actually entering a new dimension. There is some sort of a promotion, but it's a very unorthodox promotion because the work that it comes with, the responsibility that it comes with, it's like somebody saying you be the head of a multi-million dollar company. You say, Amen, they give you the post, the title, even that thing that you put on the on the table with your name, and then you realize the workload. No, you have 10,000 people to look after, and you have to make sure that that company doesn't go down. Same as being a mother. You say, Hey, man, I've conceived, and then you remember a whole life. Somebody is solely dependent. Sometimes I was looking at my children, I said, you know, they're so dependent on me that if I decide I will not feed them, they will not eat. It's all up to me. Me, me, I'm a baby, I'm a baby. They let me go out of the hospital with a baby, I'm myself, I'm a child. I had to realize that someone's life is actually in my hands. The responsibility is just as much and just as big, and if anything, bigger. Because you will decide on whether we have another Hitler or another Mafia Luther King. It's up all up to you. You are the one that expands the capacity of the child's brain. It is you, and you are the same person that can minimize the capacity of their brain. You're the same person. That's why we have many, many, many children come to us and say, My father always told me I will I will amount to nothing. So I'm nothing. And we plead, we say, No, please, don't take it like that. You know, maybe he was angry. He said it for 15 years. You can there's nothing, you can't uprute it. It's my mind now. So we knew that this is now a divine intervention. We there's nothing I can say, because nothing is as heavy as your fa as your parents' word. There's nothing I can say. So we start praying for the pri for the people. So you're the same one that can minimize. You understand? So know that that promotion is very, very, very, very, very important. And let's honor those who have been there and who are there and who are managing well. Let's clap for them. Let's do so. One time I woke up when I gave birth. I called my mom. The man of God has resigned. My firstborn, I gave birth. Whilst I was pushing, I kid you know, man of God is my witness. I took my phone. Took my phone. I called my mom. I said, I'm sorry. I said, I'm sorry. I said, Mom, I'm sorry. She was like, What happened? I said, Mom, you see that time when you told me I didn't listen, my mom's sorry. Is this what you went through? Mom, I'm sorry. And then I called my dad. I said, Dad, I'm sorry. Is this what you saw mom went through? I'm sorry. I said, everything I've done in life, I'm begging I'm sorry. I cried. I cried. My mom was like, What happened? I said, Mom, you're in pain. Everything is in pain. I feel like I died. Everything's in pain. I've never felt pain like this. And she was and she laughed. And she was like, Now you have arrived. And she was like, No, don't worry. I accept your apology, but you don't need to apologize. I know you're a child. I said, Mom, now I'm a mom. The understanding level has increased. Now I know. When I was saying, now try it, try it, try it. Now I know. And no recovery time. Which recovery time? You're a mom now. Which recovery time? What's your healing breastfeed? I said, Mom, I beg be go. I said, Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know. And then I realized my mom, even if she done something wrong, this is the best she could do. My job is not to focus on that. My job is to focus, look where I'm standing. Did you not do something well? Look at your face. Look at go in the mirror. Look at your face. How pretty your face is. At least there is something that I have done well. Look where you are. At least you know there's something that I've done well. And you raised children, and they were the biggest criticizers anyway. Biggest criticizers. Tell me why came to me and said, Mommy, you're not wearing shoes in the house. I said, Yeah. Okay, you are two years old. Okay. But then he will then also remember that my mom did the best that she could do. She raised me to the best of her ability. Right? Let her put our hands together for Jesus.
