Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

God's word is alive and powerful. It is sharper than any double edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and our joints and marrow until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts. Join apostle Emmanuel as he takes us on a journey into the word of God. It is time to encounter God, be transformed by his word, and empowered by his spirit. Revelations chapter one verse eight. Good morning everybody. We'll read verse eight and then we'll read verse 15. I am alpha and omega. The beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, which was, which is to come, the almighty.

Verse 15 says, and his feet like unto fine brass as if they bond in his furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters. His voice as the sound of many waters. And his glory appears like the light from the sun. He still singing holy, Lord. And this glory appears like the light from the sun. Age to age, each His voice was that... Was at the sound of many waters. His voice was as the sound of many waters. I've studied the Bible, and I have found out It's as though in order for God to do anything on the earth realm, it makes a sound. It makes a sound in order for God to move on the earth realm.

In order for God to invade the earth realm with glory and power and the influence of his presence, he makes a sound from the heavens. In Acts chapter two and verse one, the bible says that we gathered in one accord when the day of Pentecost was fully come. In verse two, the bible says suddenly, there came a sound from heaven. As though when God wants to move on the earth, it releases a sound from the heavens. If remember during the time of Elijah, there was no rain for three years and the city was in a state of famine. God had told Elijah to go to the king in first Kings chapter 18. And when you read from verse one, there was all kinds of things that happened in that scripture. A lot of things happened. The prophets of Baal gathered and they tried to call down fire, but they could not. Elijah was able to call down fire and he had the prophet of Baal slaughtered after he called on fire.

Just after that event, in verse 40, the Bible then said, and Elijah said unto them, take the prophet of Baal. Let not one of them escape. And they took them and Elijah brought them to the brook kitchen. And slew them there. In verse 41, Elijah then said, in response to the famine, in response to the absence of rain for three years, and Elijah said unto Ahab, get thee up, eat and drink for there is a sound. For there is a sound. Before God does anything on earth, he makes a sound in the heavens. Elijah was able to tap into the frequency of that sound to interpret that sound, and he said the meaning of the sound I'm hearing is that an abundance of rain is about to fall on the earth. What gives translation? What gives expression?

The interpretation of the sound that I'm hearing is that an abundance of rain is about to fall on the earth. Now if you remember, we are coming from revelations. In revelations, John saw Jesus, and Jesus was speaking to him, and he said his voice was as a sound. In other words, that sound that God releases is actually his voice. Is God speaking something? But when he speaks it, it is as it is as the sound of many waters. As a sound that is released from the heavens that pierces through the earth. And we are saying that before God does anything on the earth realm, that sound must be released. And the sound is the speaking of Jesus. That is why the Bible says his voice was as the sound.

I want you to understand what I'm teaching here. His voice was as the sound of many waters. That sound is the speaking of Jesus. Another part call it the testimony of Jesus. Now when he begins to speak from the heavens, his voice is at the sound of many waters. The sound they live from the heavens. Out of it then correspond to manifestation on the earth. Out of that sound translates to events unfolding on the earth. That counsel of God, that sound that God makes, how does it translate to corresponding manifestation on the earth? In Revelations 19 verse 10, the Bible says, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. In other words, the testimony of Jesus is captured in the spirit of prophecy. The testimony of Jesus is captured in the enablement that empowers men to prophesy. So when that sound is released in the heavens, the expression of that sound on the earth realm is that the spirit of prophecy that captures the testimony of Jesus will eat a man. And when the spirit of prophecy eats a man, that man will begin to prophesy. And when that man begins to prophesy, what he's doing is he's giving expression to the sound that has been released. Elijah said, I heard a sound, and that sound is that of an abundance of rain. I hear a sound, and that sound is the sound of an abundance of rain. So when God wants to do something on the earth realm, he releases a sound in the heavens. That sound is encoded in the spirit that makes men to prophesy.

A man in contact with that spirit then vocalizes what that spirit drops in his heart. This is what is called prophecy. So when we prophesy or when God gives a word of prophecy, what is happening is that we are declaring the sound that God is making in heaven, the act of God, the counsel of God as declared in the heavens. We are declaring what God wants to accomplish on the earth realm. That is what happens when men begin to prophesy. It is on the basis of the prophecy that is released by a prophet that God can now begin to work on the earth. So this is the equation. God intends to do something. He declares what he wants to do in the heavens. He makes a sound in the heavens.

A man on earth is enwrapped by the spirit of prophecy, and that man is given the privilege of access to what God wants to do. And upon hearing it, the man begins to speak it out. The reason why God makes men know what he wants to do is so that we can speak it. Because as we begin to speak it, we are prophesying. As we begin to speak it, we are prophesying. So in the book of Amos chapter three verse seven, the Bible says, surely, the Lord God does nothing. If this is in your Bible, you will know that this is scary. This is a very instructive statement. The bible says, the Lord God does nothing. Nothing means nothing.

The Lord God does nothing. He will not move. He will not invade a territory. You can argue this all you want, but the Bible says surely, the Lord God does nothing. He does nothing in a territory. He does nothing in a city. He does nothing in an environment. He does nothing in a family. He does nothing in a life unless. In other words, this is a conditional statement.

If the Lord God will do something, this condition must be met. And the condition is that he reveals that which he wants to do to his servant, the prophet. The reason why he's revealing it to them is so that they can prophesy. Because a man must declare on the earth realm what God wants to do on the earth realm. This is a principle. And whenever God wants to move on the earth realm, whenever God wants to do anything on the earth realm, in a territory, in a nation, in a life, in a family, in a country, in a business, in a career. There must be a sound from heaven. That reveals the council of God. What he wants to do. That sound is captured by a man, interpreted by the man, and given expression too by that man.

It is this thing that the man now now does. This is the expression the man gives to sound is what we call prophecy. So over a nation, the Lord does nothing. Over a land, the Lord does nothing. That is why it is important to hear the sound that God is making over your family. It is important to hear the sound that God is making over your business. It is important to hear the sound that God is making over your finances. It is important to hear the sound that God is making over Nigeria, over this nation, over your territory. It is important to hear the sound that God is making so that when that sound is heard, you can begin to prophesy as you have been commanded. You may begin to speak.

Do you remember Ezekiel? That master strategy. That master strategy revealed in a man, Ezekiel. The bible says God took him to a valley of dry bones and God asked him a question. Can these dry bones live again? And Ezekiel answered God, only thou knowest. And God told him, son of man, prophesy. Ezekiel said, I prophesied as I was commanded. What he's saying is, I prophesied as I heard. In other words, God wanted the dry bones to come alive.

It was what, that was the sound God was making. Dry bones come alive. Dry bones come alive. But there had to be a man that could hear that sound too. The the fact that God was declaring this or the fact that God wanted this to come to pass or the fact that God wanted this to find expression on the earth realm in that territory does not mean it will happen in as much as god wants it done so. And so god had to bring a man. Can these dry bones come alive? The man said, god, only you know this answer, And God told him prophesy. The man said, I prophesied as I was commanded, and suddenly, a sound. Suddenly, a sound.

Pierce through me, walk through me, open me up, do your surgical work in me till I see like you see. Beast through me. Walk through me. Open me up. Do your surgical in Listen. So prophecy is the declaration of God's intention over a people, the declaration of God's intention over a nation, over a life that brings comfort, that brings exaltation, that brings manifestation. Prophecy brings or should I say it gives God platform to work and to move in a life, to work and to move in a nation, to work and to move in a territory. A believer must be a prophet over his own life. A believer must be a prophet over his business. A believer must be a prophet over his family.

A believer must be a prophet even in a nation. This is the reason why in the olden days, whenever kings are appointed, prophets are also appointed. Because what whatever God wants to do in a nation, it is revealed to the prophets and the prophets declare it unto the people. The people then begin to work in tandem with what has been declared. Right now, there are no segregation between the king and the prophet. The believer is a priest. The believer is a king. The believer is a prophet. It means over your own family, you must prophesy. Over your own business, you must prophesy.

Over your own career, you must prophesy. Over your own ministry, you must prophesy. And the prophecy is not as you want it, it's as God declared it. As you hear a sound in the heavens, and God says it is time for your ministry to enlarge. I have begun to declare there is enlargement. Enlargement in my life, enlargement in my career. What is happening is they are giving God platform to move. A sound is being made in the heavens, and you are re echoing the sound on earth. Oh, gastro of heaven sounds through me. I receive.

Echo. That's basically what prophecy is. As we hear the sound from the heavens, we begin to make declarations as we yet. We begin to prophesy as we yet. We begin to prophesy as we yet. Do you remember that the moment this man heard the sound of an abundance of rain? The king went to eat and sleep. But the person who heard the sound doesn't go and eat and sleep. He knows that the reason why you heard that sound is so you cannot prophesy. And we keep on prophesying until we see what we are prophesying.

That is what I saw in the life of Elijah. The Bible says that man dug his head and tucked his head in between his laps. And he started interfering. What he was doing was prophesying, making warfare with that which he has heard in the heavens and insisting might be done on the earth as it is in the heavens. And the man kept on prophesying. The man kept on prophesying. He told his servants, go and check. Come. It is what I'm prophesying in my secret place. As he found expression in the territory, the servant comes.

He says, no. He came back. He says, no. The man went back to his secret place and started prophesying. Started prophesying. Started prophesying. It means that when you hear a sound from the heavens, you prophesy until your business look like what you heard. You prophesy until your ministry look like what you heard. You prophesy until your children look like what you heard. You prophesy until your family resembles what you heard.

It means if my life is not yet a picture of the sound I caught, I don't stop prophesying. I I have a responsibility to stand as a prophet over my life, over my business, over my career, over my ministry, over my territory, and prophesy. Prophesy as I was commanded until I see a feast appear in the heavens. After feast appeared, if the feast has not yet appeared, I have no business stopping to prophesy. I continue to speak as God has said. If God has said there is increase, I speak increase until I say increase. If God has said an enlargement, I speak enlightenment until I say enlargement. If God has said I'm prospering, I speak prosperity until I say prosperity. I speak it. I speak it until I see it.

I speak it until I see it. Many believers start the process but never see to the end. What Elijah said was go and check, and he kept on checking, and he never stopped until he saw until he saw a feast in the heavens. Before you stop, did you see a feast? Did you see a feast in the heavens? A sign in the heavens that showed that the platform is now being made available and be made ready for God to begin to move, for God to begin to walk. Listen, A lot of believers don't know how to stand and to stay on prophecies. When I hear a sound from the heavens, have you learned the mystery that is... That that Daniel learned? Daniel saw the prophecies that Jeremiah had spoken and knew that there were deeper meaning to these things.

And as he started in that season, the Bible says the hands are left the heavens. But did not manifest on the earth. And this man never stopped. This man continued to press on the same thing until heaven had to send detectives to find out why the hands had not yet manifested on the earth. And when the detective angels were sent, they realized that it was the prince of Persia that held the angel captive. I wondered what would have happened if Daniel had not continued praying. You see, go and learn from God himself, the master craftsman. God was the first person that declared the birth of Jesus. The seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent. That was a sound from heaven.

Do you know that all through the old testament, all that the old testament prophet was prophesying was the seed of the woman. A virgin shall conceive. The Lord said to my Lord, sit down at my right hand. Another prophet will come after me. His name shall be called prince of peace. A man... Why were they all saying the same thing? Moses said it. Jeremiah said it. Isaiah said it.

Abacus said it. Osea said it. They kept on prophesying the same thing. Have you seen how many prophecies were made in the last days? Joel said it. In the last days, it shall come to pass. Isaiah, in the last days, it shall come to pass. Do you really think God does not know what he's doing? For God to be repeating the same thing by the mouth of several prophets. The idea was only manifest.

We keep on saying it. So much so even when people thought that the prophet had ended, even when people thought that God was God was no longer speaking, God still desired for himself. Anna and Simeon, people who had heard the sound that he made even when he was quiet in time. That sound was an eternal sound. From the lamb... From the foundation of the world, a lamb was laid. Anna and Simeon were in the tabernacle, and they kept on in bathing him. Even in four hundred dark years, do you know what happened in four hundred dark years? There was silence in the entirety of Israel. That was the period between Malachi and Matthew.

The... There... No. God was not speaking to anybody, yet there were prophets that had caught the sound. And God insisted that the sound that is caught, he kept them alive until they saw the manifestation. God said you will not die. You will not die. Because you must keep on prophesying this thing until you find expression. And the bible says, a day came when the baby was born that Simeon had the child. Anna had the child and said, finally, my eyes have seen the salvation of Israel.

How did she know? How did he know? It means when she was in the temple, what she was declaring is my eyes will see the salvation of Israel. It must come in my time. It must come in my time. And she kept on declaring it until our eyes saw it. The problem with many believers is that we stop before we see. We don't have the staying power to continue on to insist that the sound that they have heard will manifest. It must find expression. Is this the picture God showed me about my life?

Oh, it is not. What was the picture? The picture is the sound. I begin to prophesy. I begin to prophesy. I begin to prophesy. Prophesying gives platform for God to begin to move. It gives platform for God to begin to act. Believers are very careless with sounds from heaven. A young man came to me some time ago and told me, he said, I was praying yesterday and I corpse and I kept on hearing leaps and bounds.

Leaps and bounds. Leaps and bounds. As though as though I'm break and and and I was hearing it, I saw myself breaking through walls, breaking through walls, as I was praying, I saw myself breaking through walls. As though a bull was running through walls, running through walls. As he shared this thing with me, I said that's a sound. You have caught a sound. What you have seen is a sound. That is what God is saying about your life. I told the young man, you have you have caught a sound. You have caught a sound.

A year after, the man would come to me and would share with me some challenges he was having. I said, Kai, do you remember what you told me? And the man said he cannot remember. You see, believers are very careless with what God is saying, with what God has said. And we don't know that your responsibility as a believer is to insist that this thing I heard is my responsibility to prophesy until I see it happen, Until I see it happen. Until I see it happen. Aye. Aye. If God said, I and the children that God has given me are for signs and wonders. If God said that his son in your womb is a prophet, and I insist that in my lifetime, I must see him manifest as one.

If God said, this business I've given to you is a nation. If God says, this skill that you are raising, that you are growing, this career you are growing, I've sent you into the academia as a principality. You will you will you will invade that territory and reflect my glory in that territory. If that is what God has said about my life, then I must insist. I must insist in prophecies. If God has said I've sent you as a light into darkness, you will become a light to the Gentiles, a voice to the voiceless, hope to motherless. I must insist. If God has released a sound concerning my life, it is my responsibility to ensure that this sound find expression. If God has said that I hold my generation an encounter with God, if God has said to the dimension of God that my life must reveal to the world, I must insist. And so every time I pray, what I declare is the sound.

What I declare is the sound. What I declare is the sound. I say,. Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? What I declare is the sound. I remember a time I was praying, and and and I saw it a mission of result in the life of a man, and I so much wanted it, but was not coming. You see, when you desire a result and you press into it, I've realized that one of the things that gives you access to it is that God releases a sound. And the sound comes to tell you that that thing that you have desired will now start fighting the explosion in your life.

The sound for me was in Jeremiah chapter five and verse 14. It came as a re echoing scripture. I saw God minister unto my heart. And he says, Emmanuel, I will make my words in your mouth like fire. Every time I go for a meeting, I will check, was my words like fire? And I find out it wasn't like fire. This is not how fire burns. And so every time I go to pray, my assignment is my words are like fire. My words are like fire. The people are like chaff.

My words are like fire. The people are like chaff. My words burn the hearts of me. My words burn the hearts of me. My words burn the hearts of me. My words words upon the heart of men. Hear me? What has God said about my voice? The bible says that is the There is no tribe nor language where their voice is not heard. The question is, when that sound came to you, have you now considered your your voice to be reaching every tribe or nation?

If your voice is not reaching it, it means you have a responsibility to say there's no voice, there's no tribe, there's no lesion, there's no tongue, there's no speech when my voice is not heard. There is weight on my voice. There's influence on me. There's influence on me. There is weight on my voice. For I've heard a sound, and I insist. Listen, this was the reason why Paul told Timothy, make a good warfare. Make a good warfare. There were prophecies that were spoken over your life. And we that spoke it, we know we were not speaking emotionally.

We heard God when we spoke, but we have not started seeing the manifestation of these things in your life. Timothy, can't you make a good warfare? Cow. Cow. Cow. Can't you can't you make a good warfare? Can't you wage warfare and insist that the things that have been spoken, the words that have been spoken, oh, it must find expression. There's a sound that was made over my life. A sound that the heavens made. Sometimes last year, I was reading the book of Isaiah.

And the holy ghost opened my eyes, and I heard a sound, a sound from the heavens. Your sons and daughters are coming from afar. Your sons and daughters are coming from afar. When you see them, you will burst into laughter. You will smile, and you will laugh. There were some people that caught that song with me. Every night we insisted, our sons and daughters are coming from afar. Our sons and daughters are coming from afar. When we see them, we will laugh. We will laugh.

And then right there, we'll begin to laugh. We'll begin to laugh. Listen to me. Listen to me. You have to be diligent prophets over your life. A lot of us are too dependent. Look at Paul Paul was the one who said, wage a good warfare. A lot of us are too dependent on I have a prophet that speaks over me. And you don't know that the responsibility of the prophet that speaks over you is to release a... You see, you you might not be able to capture the sound.

You you might not be able to tell when your seasons are changing. You might not be able to tell when did they shift. You might not be able to tell what God is doing part time. And so the prophet over your life will come as an emissary, and he will come and tell you, God is doing this. God is doing that. What has what has happened is he has given you access to the sound that the heavens are making. Your responsibility is now to ensure that I will not hold my peace until my righteousness breaks forth like the sun. I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made. Can you see this? According to the prophecies previously made that by them you wage a good warfare.

In other words, don't look for new words to be spoken over you. It's not as though we can't prophesy today, but son, there are prophecies that were previously made, and we have not seen the expression. We have not seen the manifestation. We have not seen the fruition of these words that were previously spoken. There were there were prophecies that were previously made. It says wage a good warfare. Wage a good warfare. The first day you come and check, are the signs there yet? Can I see a feast in the heavens? And when you find out I can't see a feast, you go back to pray.

Have you caught a sound? The first challenge is if you have not heard anything. Either from the word of God, from what your prophet spoke over you. I've not heard anything. I told the young man, I called him out by prophecy, and I told him I said, he was sharing a testimony with me. He said, I told him, the people who have mentored you, who look at you and give you advice, will call you and learn from you. The sound I heard was God was about to make you a a teacher to your mentors. That young man came back and told me, he said, sir, in my business as a poultry farmer, I have collected over five to six contracts right now raising day hold birds from scratch and raising them to maturity and disposing them, selling them afterwards. And he said, sir, it is not humanly possible to collect, say, 1,000 day old births or one fifty or whatever number and not and not lose maybe one percent or ten percent. At least some will die.

He said, sir, for, like, five or four or 500 I've collected, none of my births have died. None. Not one of my births have died. He said I posted it, and I said, bring your birth. None of them will die. He said my mentor saw it and says a lie. He said, let me try you and give him some amount of birth and said, I will see if he did not die. And true, he saw that none of them died. The mentor then called him and said, teach me what you are doing. He said, he remembered immediately that apostle called me and told me that those who you have seen as mentors will one day call you to teach them.

You see, if that is the fullness of the expression of that prophecy, then you stop. If that is all you see, then you stop. If somebody told me that and I see that level of result, that can't be all that my mind will see. I will thank God for it, and I will see greater mentors who have not even... Who I don't even have access to. Who have only read their books. I didn't know my mentors. When the prophecy came, did they give name? This is how I contend. This is how I see.

And so when I'm declaring words and I'm prophesying with the prophet and engaging in warfare, words that have been spoken, I do so intelligently. I do so intelligently. Can you pray quietly in the spirit? Just pray quietly. One minute in the spirit. For some of you, just I I just saw something happening now. Your holy spirit is remain... Reminding some people supernaturally. Words that were spoken over your life that should have found expression. But you forgot it.

And because you forgot, you could not press, you could not capture it. Spray into the... In the spirit quietly. Spray in the spirit. For one minute. Melodies that we bring from within us only. We lack words to express them, and we lack songs to sing. One more minute to pray. Pray. I'm seeing some things.

Judges chapter six. Judges chapter six and verse six. In the book of Judges, the children of Israel were in captivity in the hands of the Midianites. And I want you to see the what is God's strategy in bringing them out of captivity. Verse six, the Bible says, Israel was greatly impravished because of the Midianites. And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. So this was prayer. They cried out, they prayed asking God for deliverance. Asking God for deliverance. And in verse seven, the bible says, it came to pass when the children of Israel played to the Lord.

When they cry to the Lord, because of the Midianites, that the Lord sent a prophet. It means when the Lord has heard your cry, he sends a prophet. When the Lord is ready to move on your behalf, he sends a prophet. When the Lord is... Has heard a cry of a nation, he sends a prophet. When the Lord has heard the cry of a people, he sends the prophet. Do you remember that woman called Hannah in scripture? The bible says this was the way she was crying for a child. In the day that heaven heard her cry, a prophet was sent. The Bible says he sent a prophet to the children of Israel.

And the prophet began to say unto them. This was a reflection of what the sound of heaven was. The prophet was declaring to people what God was saying. How that God was saying to the people, I brought you out from Egypt, brought you out to the house of bondage, and the prophet kept on declaring, if I did all of these things, why are you afraid? Do not be afraid. You're about to see miracles. You're about to see deliverance, and the prophet just was prophesying, declaring the sound from the heavens. Immediately, the prophet was done prophesying. Listen. Verse 11.

Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree. Angelic ministries are activated when the prophets prophesy. Look at what the angel came to do. The bible says he was waiting for Gideon because he came to thresh wheat at the winepress. And in verse 12, the bible says, the angel appeared unto Gideon and said to Gideon, the Lord is with you, You mighty man of valor. Do you know what this tells me? It tells me that Gideon was the answer that God was sending to deliver the people of Israel from the Midianites. But for that answer to manifest, the prophet had to prophesy it. You didn't see that. The destiny of a nation was in the hands of Gideon.

But for Gideon's mandate, apostolic mandate to find expression, a prophet had to speak it. But the response to their prayer wasn't first Gideon. It was first a prophet. The ministry of an angel was activated just because a prophet prophesied. That means that the angel did not come because the people prayed. Or because the people cried to God. The angel came as a response to the prophet's prophecy. The difference between prayers and prophecy, especially prayers of petition and prophecy, is that when we pray, we are telling God what we want God to do or what we need God to do according to his will. But when we prophesy, we are declaring what God said he wants to do. Do you get what I'm trying to say?

When we prophesy, we are actually singing back what God says he wants to do. So the people were crying. And God sent a prophet to go and declare. So you will see Amos three verse seven coming into fruition in this scripture again, that God will do nothing. When we prophesy, we set the platform for God to begin to move. When we prophesy, the ministry of angels is awakened. When we prophesy, the ministry of men is awakened. Destiny helpers around... Arise at the sound of prophecy. Saviors arise at the sound of prophecy.

Gideon was a prophecy away from the deliverance of Israel. In other words, destiny helpers are only a call away. Saviors are only a call away. This is why the bible says despise not prophesying. Despise not prophesying because it is the platform with which God does whatever he wants to do on the earth realm. Isaiah 42 and verse nine. The bible says, behold, the former things have come to pass. New things do I declare. Before they spring forth, I tell you of them. Before they spring forth.

So the bible says the former things have come to pass. With what I have taught you now, you now understand the technology that was deployed with which the former things came to pass. God released the sound. The prophet captured the sound, prophesied that those things which are now the former things could come to pass. Now that the former things have come to pass, God says, want to begin to do new things. And before I begin to do them, I must declare them. So God says new things do I declare. New things do I declare. Before they spring forth, I will tell you of them. The reason why God say we tell you is so that you can say it.

I want to begin to do new things, but I will tell you about those things I want to do before those things spring forth because you have a role to play in those things springing forth. Listen. Before they spring forth, I will tell you of them. Look at verse 13. Verse 13 then says, sing unto the Lord a new song. New things do I declare. Sing a new song. It means the song you are singing is the song of the sound that God has released onto you. It means prophecy can come in form of of songs. That you are walking to class in the morning, and you begin to hear a song in your spirit.

When our backs were against the wall and looks as if it was over, You made a way. And we stand in here only because you made a way. And then you are just there, and the song kept... Keeps on ringing in your spirit. I don't know that what heaven is saying is I've released a sound. I've I've released a sound. I've released a sound. You just came. You just think that it's the same way song used to stalk in your head. I went to a funeral and they were playing one whiskey song, and it's...

This one and two is the same. And you didn't have the discernment to capture the sound that God was making. To begin to declare that a way is made for me. A way is made for me. A way is made for me. A way for It looks as though everything is just tough. There's no money. The economy is rising up. Finances are hard. Salary is not enough.

And at the breakdown, at the point where you think as though all hope is lost, then the sun comes and ministers to your spirit. You are Jaira. You are. You You are. Are. You are. Listen. Listen. I will be content And there's just joy in your spirit. There's joy in your spirit.

There's joy in your spirit. Because a sound has been released from heaven. You you see, what it means to be a believer is is to be in the spirit. You have to be a spiritual believer to be able to discern the sounds from heaven and be able to recapture those sounds. You're on a project. And whilst you're working whilst you're working, the song just comes. And you don't know that what God is saying is I'm giving you speed. I'm giving you speed. Hey. Listen.

I will run Hear me? A new song, a new song is not a newly composed song. It it is a song that is in spite of the spirit. A song can be written in 1975. And when the spirit inspire it upon your heart, it is called a new song. A new song. Hey. There are... Do you know that when seasons are changing, one of the ways I know is that songs start pressing in my heart. Like like a precipitation, a sublimation.

It it just starts... It starts coming up like this. Forming in my spirit. And I know that God is... There's a change happening. There's a change happening. Seasons are shifting. Seasons are shifting. Something is happening. Lord said there's someone.

It's your time for a harvest. Listen. Listen. As I just as I just said seasons are changing. Listen. Listen. Listen. The moment I made that statement, I saw a vision, and I saw a barren land. And in... As though they were fast forwarding it, I saw I saw plants growing out, growing out with speed as though they were fast forwarding the process.

I saw plants growing out. I see, I saw trees shooting out. Trees. And I saw fruits coming out of the trees. I saw I saw... It was a large land. And I saw the process of planting, growing, harvesting, acne with speed. God said, that individual is breaking into a season of harvest. Yes. Yes.

I. You see, when you're a music minister, one of the ways you will know you are aligned to heaven is that every time you release a song, it won't be a song that was composed in a studio because the sound was good. It would be that you tapped into the economy of heaven. And you were able to peep into what God is saying, and you heard a sound. You captured the sound in a song and you released a song to the body. Those are the kinds of songs that causes tremors in the body. The... It... Where... It does not matter who sings them.

As long as that was... That is the song they are singing. Even if an... A a person who is not anointed comes to sing it. When everybody just hears the song being sung, you can almost tell it as though the heavens are being rendered open. You know that such individuals entered into a depth and brought those sounds out. A larger responsibility of the apostle is to be able to tap also to the economy of God, to know what God is doing per season, and be able to declare the council of God to generation. And that is why when an apostle speaks... I'm not going to love this. And I'm here to announce to the Disciples Christian Network that God has released a new sound.

Hear me? God said, it is time for a shift. Hear me? The tectonic plates are shifted. It is time for a shift. The shift is threefold. The first shift is I'm speaking to the disciples Christian network. So if you are connected to this household of faith, this apostolic community, listen to what I'm saying very carefully because you're a part of this. The first shift is a numerical shift. There will be...

God said, I'm increasing your numbers. For I heard a little one is becoming a thousand. A small one is becoming a great nation. Lord said now is the time I spoke to you about. The second level of shift I saw was a shift in impact and in influence. A shift in impact and in influence. That the Methodist begin to spread to every nook and cranny of this nation. That this starving generation start realizing that there is food being prepared in Ibadan. That strange platforms are opening up for the spread of the gospel of the kingdom. I see an increase in impact.

An increase in influence. A shift in impact, a shift in influence. The third chef... Level of shift that I saw was a financial shift. The Lord told me that there will be a massive surge in the rise of young millionaires and billionaires. A massive surge in the rise of young millionaires, young billionaires, people crossing into their millions, people crossing into their billions. The Lord said I will be placing people into strategic positions of power. Strategic positions of influence. Strategic places of power and influence. Listen.

We have heard testimonies. We have heard all kind of things that God is doing, and we thank God for that. But the things that God will begin to do is like nothing we have ever seen. There will be people that will be breaking into politics in this season we have entered into. You will hear young people saying that I'm now an honorable. I'm now with this. I'm now with that. I'm I'm saying I'm saying access into the corridors of power. I'm seeing people being be... Seeing...

I'm seeing people signing partnership deals with with Fortune 500 companies. Some of you are flying to Silicon Valley. The one signed contracts. Some of you are sitting with presidents. Being invite... You will start you will start hearing testimonies of strange hacks. Of you will be in Hustle Rock next year. There will be some... There there will be those that will be interviewed on channels, interviewed on on on on national television, who will be on national newspaper. There will be an increase in this, and and and and and I saw Because God said that there's a shift.

A little one is becoming a thousand. A little one is becoming a thousand. You will come for a service of 9AM by 08:30 and not find the city. You come for your service of 4PM by 02:30. We'll make seats available for everybody. But somebody coming for a meeting by 4PM, by 03:45 knows that there's no seat anymore. So he will bring his own seat from at home from home life. For a little one is becoming a thousand. A small one is becoming a great nation. Bible says, if the trumpet makes an insignificant sound, who will hear it?

An uncertain sound. If the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will he hate? God is giving uniqueness to our sound. Tell you what is happening. Uniqueness to the sound. That is what informed the type of teaching I've been teaching us. Because there is a picture that God has shown. There's a sound that God has released. We will prophesy. We will pray.

We will declare until this thing finds fruition. That is the reason why I intentionally prophesy over you almost every meeting day. Because the assignment is we must prophesy until we see. Do not get tired of your prophet prophesying over you. The idea is we prophesy until we see a feast in the heavens. A feast in the heavens. During the manifest conference, we had a livestream center in Hungary with people following us and what we are doing. And God told me that that is a sign. It's a sign. That's not it, though.

It... That's... That that is just a sign. A sign of what is to come. In the next manifest conference, we'll have to come and read out the nations that are following us and where they are following from. In the next manifest conference, we have to be displaying on screen. Livestream videos Can you bring down for one minute? There's a... Now this is the word I want you to understand. The fulfillment of every prophetic word is not entirely dependent on God.

And just because a prophecy has gone forth and God now has the platform to move does not necessarily mean that what God intends to do will happen. The manifestation and the fulfillment of prophecy can be influenced by men. Prophecies can fail. Prophecies can change. Prophecies can be delayed When men do not understand their roles and played accordingly. Hence the title of my chart, actualizing prophecies. For it is one thing to hear a sound from heaven. It is another thing to understand the conditions and the requirement for that prophecy and that sound that you have heard to find expression on the earth realm. There is the responsibility of man in seeing prophecies come to fruition. There is responsibility of man in seeing prophecies find expression.

And whenever you see prophetic words declared that has set the stage for God to move, well, that is not how that determines whether it will happen or it will not. This that I'm about to show you in about ten, fifteen minutes is the source of the confusion of many people today in judges. This is the reason why many people shout amen, expecting a miracle because a word is spoken. And sometimes the number of people that come out to share testimonies in response to the word that was spoken can be so small when compared to those who received the word. You call four people out and you tell them, I see that by next month, you'll be in America. And when next month comes, you are shocked that the first one is in prison somewhere. The second one is in the market selling Gary. The third one is playing ball on the streets, and perhaps one of them is in The US. And you begin to wonder, is God unfair? How come everybody receives the word, But so few ever received the manifestation of that which was spoken.

Please listen to this. Prophecies have conditions for actualization. It is very much possible to hear a sound from heaven truly, And that God's prophet have spoken a word truly, not a fake man of God. But that that word is influenced by the divisions of man to either change, to fail, or be delayed. Or it's not even happen at all. By the influence of man. This is in scriptures. We see this in scriptures. I don't have time to show you all of this in scripture. Get my teaching why prophecies fail.

Get my teaching why prophecies fail. I expound on this a lot more there. Prophecies have conditions for actualization. Understand this. Man is a trapezoid being. Man is spirit, soul, and body. And for a prophetic word to find expression, it must pass through these three parts of you in a specific order. John chapter six and verse 63, the Bible says, it is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profit nothing. The word that I speak unto you are spirit and and and and alive.

Do you see that? It is the spirit that gives life. So if the spirit gives life and the word I speak to you is spirit, then it makes sense that the word I speak to you should give you life. That's why a part of the bible says your word is medicine to those who find them. Because it can give life when found. But my emphasis is, your words are spirit. It says the words that are spoken are spirit. The words that are spoken are life. It means as words are spoken over you, the nature of what is being spoken is spirit. The nature of what is being spoken is life.

It has the energy and the enablement to bring to fruition what has been spoken in partnership with man. Now because the source of the words that have been spoken is God, he says my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than yours. So when he begins to speak words to you from his realm, they will always be greater than what your current imagination and your experience can fathom. It is normal. God does not speak to you from your realm. He speaks to you from his own realm. He's telling you what he wants to do. And because it is what he wants to do, it has to be greater than what you can do. You didn't get what I'm saying.

Prophecy is God saying, this is what I want to do. And because it is God that wants to do it. It has to be greater than what your energy and your strength and your ability can do. The bible says God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all you can ask or think. It says, what I'm able to do is above what you can ask or think. In other words, the limb... The the peak of your asking, the peak of your thinking is not even compared to the the the the least God can do. Did you see that? Yes, sir. God is able to do.

In other words, when we come and pray, what we pray for, he says, you you imagine the biggest thing you can ask for in prayers. Is still nothing compared to what I can do. So if that God now says, this is what I want to do, how do you expect what your mind can conceive to picture what God can do? Because when he comes to tell you, this is what I want to do, it does not come at your level. It comes at his level. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Yes, sir. It comes as God. It means every prophetic word that comes from God will always be bigger than your physical reality. That is why the first part of you that must interact with the prophetic word has to be your spirit.

This is the reason. Only your spirit has the capacity to understand and to grasp what God has spoken in the magnitude to which he speaks it. Your mind cannot interact with the words that are spoken because it cannot conceive it. Many of the things you will hear God say to you will fight your background. It will fight your experience. So in many occasions, your mind does not have the capacity to accommodate what God is saying. God does not come to a 75 years old man who is childless and his wife of 60 years old and said to them, I will give you a child. Even that is humanly impossible. That is not humanly possible. Right?

But at least it is still easier to believe. It's easier to believe. So if God wants to call with respect to your human understanding, what God would say is, I will give you a child. You have gone seventy five years childless, sixty years childless. Your womb is dead. You are told that you cannot give birth anymore, but I'll give you a child. Humanly impossible as it is, it's still... You can still believe it. You're not getting what I'm saying. But that's not what God says.

Comes to a childless man at 75 and tells him I will make you a father of many nations. At at 75, You are not even a father of one child. A barren man, barren woman, man and wife, both of them are living life on their own, and God comes to them and says, I will make you a father of many nations. Who who speaks like that is God oh. That's how he speaks. That's why when he speaks like that, the first part that must receive it is your spirit because your mind will wonder how. The logical part of you will not see sense in what has been said, will not see sense in what has been spoken. In the actualization of prophecy, you must receive and catch prophetic utterances first by your spirit. Both prophetic utterances from scriptures and those spoken by God to you directly and those spoken by your prophet to you directly, all must be cut first with your spirit. Because how God speaks is is crazy.

Look at all the odds that are stacked against this man. Number one is old. So where does it begin from? If he's old, how is it to become great? I understand a 20 years old man and God coming to say, will make you great. Even if you have been living a meaningless life up until now, tell God, I can make you great. You still have time. How do you come to a 75 year old man whose life has been directionless up until that time and tell him, walk with me. Will make you great. I will make your name great.

I will make you a great nation. How will it happen? How long do you have to live for that to find expression? What business do you want to start now that can become great in how many years? Do you understand what I'm saying? The odds were stacked against him. He was he was an old man, childless man. Questions like this are what invades your mind when you use your mind to tackle prophetic words. And when that happens, doubt, fear, unbelief will become your response to the words that are spoken. That is why the first place that the prophetic word must interact with is your spirit.

When words are spoken, it must pierce into the depth of your spirit. It must do what now? Your spirit man has the capacity to receive anything that God says because God dwells there. Your spirit man is the part of you that must jump to receive it. That's the first part that must respond. That's the first part that must respond. In Isaiah 41 verse 17, the bible says when the poor and the needy seek water and there is none, their tongue filleth for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them. I, the Lord of Israel, will not forsake them. What is the system by which God will hear them?

Verse 18, I will open rivers in high places, fountains in the midst of the valley. I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water. Let me show you a typology of that pool of water. It's in John chapter five verse one to four. The bible speaks of a pool called the Pool Of Bethsaida. And in that pool, the bible says there lay there a great multitude of impotent folk, sick people, having all kinds of infirmities. But the bible says the first man that jumps into the water, when the angel comes to steer the water, shall be healed. The first man that jumps into the water. The Pool Of Bethsaida represents God's word. It's a typology of the word of God.

Are you with me? Yes, sir. That there are possibilities in the word. There is healing in the world. There is prosperity in the world. There's deliverance in the world. There is miracles in the world, but it is for the first man that dumps him. He didn't see that. There's healing in the world. There's miracles in the world.

There's all these things in the world, but it's for the first man that jumps in. Not for the second, not for the third. It's for the first man. The moment the angels tears the water, the first man that jumps into the pool. The first man is a typology of the first man that was created. Your spirit is the first man that was created. Man was both created and formed. In Genesis one, the bible said, God said, let us make man in our own image. The spirit of man was created. That was the first entity that was created.

In chapter in verse two, that spirit needed a body to live on the earth realm. So a body was formed. Are you with me? Sir. A body was formed. So the first man is a typology of the spirit. It was Paul who said that the spirit first was before the body. So when the bible says the first man that jumps into the pool, he's saying, when a man jumps into the pool with his spirit. That when the waters of the world are being steered, jump in with your spirit man. Let your response be with your spirit man.

Not with your soul, not with your body. Some people want to feel something before they believe God is speaking. My my body is not shaking. I can't I can't sense it. Okay. It's not doing me how I used to do me. You are jumping with your body. It's the first man. How will these things happen? How will it happen?

Does this even make sense? It's the first man. It means God can call you who have no advantage and call you out to the front and say, God is... And the word comes over you and says, God is taking you into a place where you are employing plenty. I'm seeing I'm seeing... And and they tell you, we are seeing chains of businesses coming out of you. And and right there, you can sit down there and your mouth is shouting amen, but your mind is the one capturing it. Because how you... How will you know? The first thing you are thinking is me.

Me. Multiple businesses, chains of businesses. Okay. See, that person has come out. You heard the man of God say amen, but we spent ten years wondering why it never happened. Wondering where is the multiple chain of businesses because that is not how prophecies are actualized. The first man that jumps into it is your spirit man. It must pierce into your spirit man. Are you hearing what I'm saying? And and how do you jump in with your spirit man?

I'll give you three ways. These three ways you jump in with your spirit man is also how you know which part of you jumped in. It's how you know if it was your spirit that jumped into it. No. Why? You must accept and believe what was spoken. That is how to jump in. You accept and you believe what was spoken. In Luke one thirty eight, the bible says, and Mary said, behold thy... The maidservant of the Lord.

Let it be to me according to your word. That is the mindset of someone who has got with the spirit. He says... His response is, let it be unto me according to your word. Father, you have sent. Father, I believe it. Oh, glory to God. My life has changed. He doesn't start arguing it. He doesn't start debating it.

He doesn't start wondering, can these things happen? Will it happen? How will it happen? That is not the first response of a man that catches the word of God. No. His first response is, let it be unto me according to your word. And in verse 45, what happens? The bible says, blessed is she who believed for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were taught her from God. Blessed is he who has believed. Blessed is she who has believed.

In other words, when a man does not first believe, there cannot be a fulfillment of those things no matter how much he shouts amen. So ensure that as you are receiving the word and claiming it and saying, amen, ensure that the part of you that is jumping to receive is your spirit man. Are you with me saying I believe in this thing? I believe in it. I believe... I can die believing this. I was teaching some people yesterday, and I told them something. I gave them an illustration. I think I was with my pastors, and I gave them an illustration. I said, what regulates your life?

Even science agrees with this. What regulates your life is not your conscious thought, is your subconscious thoughts. It is as spiritual as it is scientific. Stay with me because who you are is not who you are when you are consciously thinking about it. It's who you are in your subconscious that dictates who you really are. Anybody can consciously say the right thing. You don't need to get mad. If if it's it's already says... It's already said, you will fail. Consciously, you can respond.

But somebody does not say it. An event happens, circumstances happen, situation breaks out, an exam is coming. You want to go and apply for a job. Your response to that, either anxiety is what shows what you really believe. In other words, when you believe something, it affects your subconscious, not just your conscious mind. Let me explain it this way. Listen to me. That means that... Think about it like this. If you use computers, you can have, like, five tabs opened on your laptop.

Those tabs is your conscious mind. You have Microsoft Word open. You have PowerPoint open. You have those things running. But when you go and check your tax manager or you check any other place you can check to see how many programs are running on the ground. You will now find that there are more programs running that are powering that system beyond the five tabs you have opened. And what is really making those tab to even function is the program that are running you cannot see. For instance, an antivirus is running but does not have to be opened. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

And you will not even know an antiviral is running until you plug in something. Then all of a sudden, without opening it, it comes with pow. Yes, sir. Five viruses detected. I am not getting what I'm saying. The thing is not open, though. It's not as though you are open. You open antivirus. It's just there running. It's just there running.

And all of a sudden, you step into a malicious site. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. You see it coming out. That is how what you have believed works. So it's it's not it's not the believer that says, ma'am, I will not fail. I will not fail. I'm prosperous.

That's... You see that's tab you have opened. You have opened those tabs. Yes, sir. Sir. When life happens to you, what response is the one you have programmed yourself to believe? Sir. So you can be in church dancing and saying, I'm victorious. I'm prosperous. I'm a.

I'm a. But do you go you go for a job interview, and you sit down there, and you prepared, you did all your best, and they tell you for instant that you didn't get this job, and your face becomes down instantly. You start saying, that's your subconscious. That that is really what you believe. That means all those tabs you opened, you just open it to prepare something. When you are done preparing, you close and prosperous. Close. I'm excellent. Close. There's joy on my inside.

Close. Oh, close, but all the things are now really running. Not start fighting the expression. If you have believed the prophetic words, it will become your response. I was talking to one of my guys yesterday, and I remember how I prophesied over him. And by favor, somebody just saw him and gave him 150 birds. The same person I was sharing testimony about, that got you right there. Give him 150 birds for free and said pay any amount you have. And the guy paid a ridiculous amount of money for it. And they go and raise them.

And I told them, see now. God is working with you. And he got me and he got home three days into getting the birth. He lost 30 of them. 30 of them died from years ago when he started this thing. This is someone that is now raising birth that none of them is dying. You see, when you hear the stories of people, you better go and find out what they went through. Listen. Listen. In four days, thirty of them died.

He called me. I said, where are you? He he told me where he is. I said, I'm coming there now. I wish I had not gone. As I went there, I stretched my hands. I said, I declare life. I release life. I declare life. I release life.

I went... Oh, I enter all the pain. I declare life. I declare life. Then we went to sleep. We woke up. 52 beds had died. Fifty two in one day. The thirty died in the span of four days after I declared life. Fifty two died in one night.

I saw it. I said, know, I never saw sadness. I never saw sorrow. I never saw... He just packed the birds, disposed them as they died. More died though. Over 130 something died out of one fifty birds that were given. That was a calamity. Nobody hopes for that. But that's when you really know what system is running.

Because one guy can sit down now and say, hey. I only got one. This is the only got one. And God spoke. And he's... And he said God spoke. That's a response. That's a program programming. And the same person will come to church and say, listen to me. In tough moments, keep the feast.

Keep the feast. And he opened the tap. Keep the feast. But he's on his way home, and he hears the news, and he sits down the main road and say, yay. He has... Keep the feast as cleansed. That's canceled. It's Prophetic words words must be believed. After you have believed it, the second thing that happens to you, the second thing that happens to you, as a proof you have believed, is is is it the remaining ones are not worked. The only one you have to intentionally do is believe.

If you believe, the second one happens as a response to your belief. The third one happens as a response to the... Do you get it now? So because the only thing you have to do to catch it is to believe it. Accept it and believe it that if God is the one who said this thing, then God can do it. If that has happened, then number two is good to go. And number two is that your perspective of yourself, of your circumstances, of your situations will now change. What will it change to? You will now start viewing everything that happens to you, your life from what was spoken. Not...

Never from what you are going through. You don't force that one. You don't force it. That one is not... Oh, God forbid. God forbid. God forbid. Mm-mm. It's a response to the fact that I've believed God's word. So I only look at my life from the perspective of what has been spoken.

I was discussing with some people yesterday, and I was telling them some of the houses I lived in. I was paying rent for. The toilet in one of those houses, a human being should not see it. Not use it. A human being should not see it. You can see it and keep on vomiting for several days. There's water that reaches your ankle, and you would see maggots every time inside the water. I cannot use that place. I had to find somewhere and, you know... Glory to God.

Listen. I was growing. I was a man of God. I was preaching. Living in a face me, I face you, whose throat I could not use, the bathroom... You... Your body must not touch the wall mistakenly. You have to stand on one spot and beat. If once you are beating your hand, hit, scratch the wall, you'll be irritated to the core. You'll be irritated to the core because the world is as though they put on everything.

You see what kind of thing is there? Man of God, that was what my money could afford at that time. I never thought I was suffering. I, for once, never did I think I was suffering. Never did I think I was coming to preach. I had a ministry. This was already existing many years of... This this time I'm talking about about five years ago. Rain will beat us. We will go under the rain, come back, and we never thought, well, see now.

Should a man of God never... Sometimes we are dancing in the rain. Sometimes we are rejoicing in the rain. It is because we have believed. So our perspective of our environment has changed. We never saw unpleasant circumstances as suffering. We saw it as trainings. We saw it as lesson. We saw it as track record. In those days, we were excited when bad things happen.

We say, I've had it, and I want to make track record. You know what we say? You know what we say? We say when people hear our stories. He makes us happy. We work hard to avoid nonsense. We pray to avoid nonsense. If nonsense happens, we rejoice. We say, devil, is that really what you... Wow.

That must be very important. The bible says he walks about looking for whom. It means it means if he gives me time, it's because I'm worth it. And he will lose and he will fail. This was our perspective. You will never see us sorrowful. There are many times there was no food to eat. Many times we gave and there was nothing that came back. We emptied our account and checked home. I went to a church in Akobo around General Gas region.

And God told me to empty my pocket. I was expecting that a miracle will happen. Somebody will pick me. No miracle happened. I emptied my pocket and trekked from General Gas to a. If you know what I'm talking about. Trekked. Prayer walked. Breathe. I said I wasn't gonna go again the second day because I didn't have money to go.

I was supposed to go. I trekked from my house back to the place. And we never thought we were suffering. Our perspective had been altered because we believed what God has said. Walk with me. I will make you great. Nations will come out of you. Kings will come from you. I will bring your sons and daughters from afar. We believed in it.

That believing in it had changed our perspective. There was nothing else we were seeing again. We interpreted life by the lens of what God had said. You couldn't convince me otherwise. Don't think what we are doing now is a mistake. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. There is almost nothing that can happen that can alter this response. My perspective is set like a flint.

You will not hear me you will not hear me say those days when I was suffering. Mm-mm. I never suffered. Those days when I was growing. That was my perspective. Those days when I was growing. Because as I'm living... Hey. My experience can be in a place. My mind is not there.

My spirit is not there. My spirit is far into my future, and I'm training my mind to get there. The realm of the physical realm takes time to follow-up or to get there. Yes, sir. The realm of the spirit is faster than the physical realm. So your spirit man can be in a place that is... It will still take your body one year to get to. The idea is that while your body is catching up, never see yourself from the perspective of that physical realm. Oh, no. I don't.

That is an offshoot of your believing in the prophetic word. You understand what I'm telling you? Yes, sir. It's an offshoot of your believing in the prophetic word. So if I tell you that you are prospering, if I tell you, listen to me, that God is taking you into places of power, that that that you are speaking to governors, you are you are speaking to presidents, you are speaking to kings, that you are writing and your writing is providing solutions across the body, across generations. Listen. Do not receive this first with your mind. Accept it. Believe it. When you do, your perspective will change.

You will look at smallness as part of the process. You will appreciate the path that God is taking you through because you will say this is my process. One day I will tell my stories. I will tell my stories. I will tell people how I emptied my account expecting that a miracle will happen. And for three days, there was no food to eat. I will tell them of how I called my friend and say, oh god, do you have garlic to eat? Or do you have rice? They said, no. I don't have rice, I have beans.

So let's cook the beans. And... But there's no palm oil. Do you have groundnut oil? They they don't even know how to cook me less rice and see what will happen. We came up with mixture we never knew existed. It is... It is part... It's part of the... You see, as we are passing through these things, we will say, look at the process.

Look at the process. This is how we'll mentor a generation. We will tell them of the mighty things God did through us. Do know that when God told... When God when God dried Jordan, God told them, take the stones from Jordan. Carry it with you. Place it upon themselves as a memorial to those that will come after you so that they will see what God did through you. It means it means your process is a memorial. It makes people know how God raises men. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, sir. In Romans, the bible says, Abraham considered not. He considered not the deadness of Sarah's womb. He considered not the deadness of Sarah's womb. That's perspective. Means that what... It it was no longer seeing his physical environment. That was no that was no longer what he was seeing. He considered not the deadness of womb. Are you with me?

Yes, sir. Yes. Not being weak in faith, he considered not even his own body and the deadness of Sarah's womb. That was not what he was seeing. I love how MSG puts it. MSG says, Abraham did not focus on his own impotence. So the question is, if God has spoken to you, what are you focused on? How you know your spirit caught it is that it will alter what you focus on. His impotence was still there, but he didn't focus on it. Jesus Christ.

The bible says he didn't focus on his own. It means he was impotent. It was there. But the fact that he has believed recklessly with reckless abandon that God has said this, the bible says his focus automatically aligned with his belief. He could no longer see himself as dead. He could no longer see Sarah as barren. All he could see is I'm a father of many nations. I'm a father of many nations. So much so his name became Abraham, father of many nations. I can imagine someone who didn't have a child saying I'm father of many nations.

The the the reason why you can even call yourself that without feeling shame to say your experience does not align with what you are saying The reason we say that without shame is because we have seen something. If if if if you are blind, go away. It's not by force. You you have no idea where that statement came out from. It was from depth of revelation. And now... Oh, Jesus Christ. There is no experience I can have in the physical that can make that thing shift. If 10 people gather, I will still tell you we are the largest gathering of young people in Nigeria. I will keep on saying it until we see it.

And one day, when it happens, when we have a conference and gather youth and a 100,000 youths gather, we will say it again, the largest gathering of young people in Nigeria. And you will wonder why about 300 people will shout from one corner. And why are they shouting? We've been saying it. We've been saying it. Are you with me? Yes. The third verse, the third thing that happens as a response to your perspective changing, this once you don't force it. It comes when you have believed. The third thing that happens as a response to the change in your perspective is that your attitude now changes.

Your attitude becomes joy and thanksgiving regardless of the circumstance, regardless of situation. Joy and thanksgiving. That is a proof that your spirit has caught it. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. If you are with me, there is no milestone too hard to reach. If you are with me, there is no mountain too hard to climb. Listen.

You begin to rejoice at the word. There is... Hi, Jesus Christ. This is so important because your perspective has changed. And because your perspective has changed, you are no longer focused on the impotence. It means you can rejoice in the impotence. The reason why you can rejoice in the impotence is because your highest is not on the impotence. Are you saying it's a consequence? It's it's it's in... It's sequential.

First, you believe. Your perspective changes. As a response to that, your attitude changes. So when you see a man in a kind of situation and he's sad and sorrowful, forget what God has told him. It can never happen. From principles of scriptures, no. No. It don't happen. It does not matter what you go through. It doesn't matter what the experience is.

Doesn't matter what the experience is. You'll find that your response is always joy and thanksgiving. Whilst God is making that thing find expression, I am joyful. I'm rejoicing. I'm thanking God. It's a proof that my spirit was the one that caught it. If my soul caught it, I will be disappointed every time I look at my life, and it's as though that thing has not happened yet. The bible says the vision is for an appointed time, though it may carry. When it looks as though it's starring, your response is joy and thanksgiving. If you cannot have joy and thanksgiving, it's a proof your spirit never received the word.

Actualizing prophecies. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Jeremiah 15 verse 16, the bible says the bible says your words were found, and I heard them. Your words were found, and I heard them. Your words were found, and I heard them. So what was a proof that I had hidden your word? You... And your word was to me the joy and the rejoicing of my heart. It means if I found the word of God, if it pierced my heart, hey.

While I'm emptying, while I'm living a sacrificial life, while I'm growing, while I'm laboring, while I'm reading, while I'm studying, while I'm paying the price for destiny, I'm rejoicing. I'm thanking God. Oh, glory to Jesus. Oh, glory to good Jesus. That was my attitude when I was going through different phases of my life that didn't look like my future. That has always been my attitude. As a ministry, as a person, joy and thanksgiving. Joy and thanksgiving. In Ezekiel chapter three, I believe verse three. Look at this.

Feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you. So I hurt, and it was in my mouth like onion sweetness. How was it in my mouth? Like onion sweetness, but in my belly. Next verse. But... Go back to verse three. It was in my mouth like, oh, okay. It was revelation's rendition. Revel...

Find revelations for me. Revelation also had... John also had this same experience. Take this scroll and eat. And John says it was in my mouth like honey also. But when it get to my belly, it caused a different reaction in my stomach. In my stomach, it was bitter. Are you with me? Yes, sir. It was in my stomach bitter.

Do you know what that means? Do you know that you cannot... There's... There are no test glands in your stomach. So you cannot know something is bitter in your stomach. Doesn't make sense that something is bitter in your stomach and sweet in your mouth. What this guy is saying is that the stomach is where digestion happens. Is that not so? Is where the thing enters your system. It's where it it it becomes a part of you.

In other words, when I found your word, it was it caused rejoicing in my heart. Right? That was why it was sweet. It was... I was rejoicing. I was thanking God. But my experience, which is a typology of the stomach, did not reflect the word I saw. Did you understand what I'm saying? In other words, even when my experience was not reflected, that word must continually be sweet in my mouth. I must always be joyful.

I must always be rejoicing. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Yes. Once the word of God has succeeded in your spirit, once the prophetic word has been released, has been captured by your spirit man, and you'll find yourself joyful and excited. You are ready for the next phase. The word of God must now travel from your spirit and enter into your mind. Because I said you should not catch it with your mind, does not mean the word of God will not interact with your mind. The difference is that it must interact with your mind from a spirit man that had accepted it already. Your mind should not be the first recipient. If your mind becomes the one that receives it, your mind does not have any shock absorber.

So if it it does not have the structure and the capacity, if the word of God collides directly with your mind, there's no breaking system. It will crush you. That's why your spirit has a capacity. From your spirit, it then flows into your mind. Now when it begins to enter into your mind... Stay with me. Now begins to happen is you begin to see the logic in the thing. You begin to see how what God has said will now happen. It means you must go from a place of, I don't know how this thing will happen to I now know what I should start doing. God has told me that companies will come out of me.

I will be an employer of thousands, an employer of nations. How it will happen? I don't know. It's good. That's a face. I believe it. I receive it. I'm jumping at it. I'm rejoicing. Glory to God.

It must travel from that to now entering into, okay. I think I should learn a skill. I think I'll just start a business. If I start a business, I'll be selling this. I've discovered a need in this area. That thing must enter your mind, and you must gonna see signs in what God has told you. It must not always remain abstract. If it always remains abstract, you... It will never happen. Are you with me?

It means it means a time was... A time comes when what exists is from the foundation of the world, the lamb was slain. It must not exist as that and stop there. It must now come to a virgin shall conceive. From the foundation of the world, a lamb was slain is abstract. How that lamb will be slain, we don't know. But now a virgin will conceive. Okay. So the system by which the lamb will be slain is that a virgin will conceive. It must make sense.

Yes, sir. Do you understand what I'm saying? So if you are still at the point where you are saying, god has... You are you are still at the first level. You are not ready for the actualization of prophecy. It means if it's a job I must get, I must know. If it's a skill I must learn, I must know. God has told me that I'm I'm I'm taking you out of father's land. Use yourself doing masters in Canada or in Australia. You must know steps to start taking.

It must not always be abstract. You can't finish school, and all you are saying is, I don't know how to... It will never happen. You must now begin to study. Do I take scholarships? I must I must embrace first class. What must I do? Are are you seeing what I'm saying? Yes, sir. God has spoken the word.

Alright? I heard there are opportunities in my field. I go and meet lecturers. I go and meet people. I attend conferences in my field because God has spoken, especially if God says, this is the field I'm sending you into. I now have a responsibility to go and find out everything there is to know so that when opportunities arise, I will plug myself into it because God has said is my own. So when I'm applying, I'm not applying for self agronizement. I'm applying because God has told me, I'm sending you there. Now someone tells me, there's an opportunity. There's some people studying this.

Apply for this. I say, Kai, this is what I've been waiting for. I don't sit down saying it will happen. God has spoken. It will happen. I graduate. It will happen. Nothing. No step. Nothing.

It will happen. That is how people get married and live up to seventy years with visions and prophetic words that they caught. It entered their spirit but never happened in their life. Because it because it never registered in their mind as to how it can happen. So when God tells me as a ministry person, as someone who's been into ministry, that I'm bringing you expansion, I'm increasing your numbers, I don't sit down and say, oh, our numbers are increasing. Glory to God. I must now begin to find out what must we begin to do. How do we create structures in ministry? Can this structure accommodate a thousand people? If it cannot, what must we do?

Or do we get a thousand people to come and then we have no structure to hold them so they live back and become our number? Do you understand what I'm saying? I remember sometimes... I I don't know if it was last year or or early this year. I took some of my guys, my pastors, HODs, leaders, all of us went to Lagos for a retreat. Went to Lagos for a retreat. Three days we were there. We were in a church, a big church, one of the biggest church in Lagos, holding a minister's conference, and I told all of them, HOD technical. As you enter there, let your eyes be open. Be seeing things that concerned technical department.

Go and get number of the technical officer there. Speak to them. Ask questions about what we are currently going through. Media department, let your eyes be open. Ushering, see, everybody. I went there with my own capacity too. 6AM, I was there praying in tongues with my note out, learning because God has given me a word. An increase is coming. I won't say that in Ibadan. Say, it's coming.

It's coming. It's coming. Without expanding my mind to see what is possible and what must be done. In that place, we got ideas. We got structure. We got several things. We came back to Ibadan with notes, different things written to be implemented. Let's start this. Let's reduce this. Some are...

Are you with me, brothers? We need more people in the workforce. Workforce. Our DPA is three months. Three months is too long. Let's make it five weeks. It came from Lagos. It encourages people to join the system and be a part of it. When they become a part of it, then we include we include and introduce more training system that makes them grounded even as they become workers than scaring them away during three months. I said, I didn't think about this before.

I'm writing it down. The structure to be created. Let's introduce this. Let's test if this will work. Oh, sir, what about we have a system that is... It was just as as we're putting all of this insight. We were partnering what God has said. In other words, God told us it entered the spirit, but the mind now has to start receiving it. The mind now has to start analyzing it, devising strategies of implementation. Are you with me?

It must make sense. What did I say? So if the word has come to me and the word is your business is expanding, it is going from 7 to eight figures, you must now sit down and say, how will my business go from 7 to eight figures? When the prophecy comes, that is not the first question you ask. You first receive it. You first believe it. You are joyful and thankful. But the moment that has entered your spirit, you must now ask how. The how will now start flowing from your spirit, entering into your mind, wisdom of the spirit, ideas of the spirit. As you read books, your eyes are opened.

You are seeing things by the spirit. Oh, my marketing strategy is very poor. I need to give my business more visibility. Your eyes are opening. They are supposed to prophesize and tells you that God is drawing you into your millions. And as you say amen, you sit down back, and you believe it, and you receive it, and you're excited as you are going. The question is now what must I begin to do? Apostle has taught us that when a man sells grain in times of need, God and man blesses him. What grain must I sell? What needs do I see?

And as I'm going home and praying, kalabayata. One day I will see a need in my street, in my environment, on the on the Internet, an opportunity is clear. Can learn. Now I'm seeing how that word that was spoken can come to pass. You're getting blessed. Yes, sir. This is how we make warfare with words that have been spoken. So when God says, I'm increasing your numbers as a ministry, we don't just say amen and receive it and confess it and prophesy it and sit down. We must now sit down and ask ourselves, what is now our models of branding? What is our system of outreach as a ministry?

Let's get more people involved. The higher our numbers, the more people can reach. As we do this, then God now begins to back what we are doing up. Let me show you. And then after it registers in your mind, it then permeates your body. Your body now begins to implement. It is when these three things happen that prophecies are actualized. This is the difference between a man who you told, in one month, you're going to America. One ended in the prison. The other one ended in the market square.

The third one is playing football. Only one was diligent enough to see how do men go to America. Prophecies hanging over all of their heads. All of them received it, went back to their normal lives as though a hand from heaven will block them and take them there. Believers can be so foolish in this area. Many believers even. We are careless in this area. Are you blessed? Yes, sir. My time is gone.

So I know I kept the prophetic words that have been spoken. My mind must not begin to make sense out of it. Apostle has told me that some of us will enter into the White House. How will we get there? How will you get there? Oh, there's a conference happening. This speaker will be there. That speaker will be there. Prophetic word has been spoken. That's my chance.

I'm going there. Entry, 100,000 naira. I don't have it, but it will come. Prophecy has gone gone ahead of me. Prophecy has gone ahead of me. I have 10,000 naira. Let me give this. I'm trusting God for more. Let me give this. I'm trusting God for more.

I'm trusting God for more. There are times that prophetic words come over you, and you know what you have to start doing is giving more. It's giving more. You know, I can't step into this thing if I don't increase the rate at which I give. My giving is too is too is too is too sparing to bring me into this level of bounty. So if the... If it is bountiful harvest I saw, what I must begin to do is that my giving cannot be sparing because the bible says we give sparingly the way we'll reap sparingly. We sows bountifully, we reap bountifully. You know, ah, I wanna cross into eight. I'm currently making seventh consistently.

Let me increase how I gave. Nah. It must be consistent. I'm tired of this phase that I am in. I'm tired of this level that I am that I am in. I must cross. I must shift because words have been spoken. When words are spoken, your mind must capture how will this thing make sense. Then your body must begin to do it. That is how to actualize prophecies.

Do I need to increase my clientele? Okay. Apostle has spoken that your earning power is increasing. How will this increase? Can I stay in this job and my earning power will increase? Do I need to get another one? Do I need more verifications? Can I break into this sphere with only my BSc? I will need a master's. I will need a PhD if this prophecy must come to pass.

Do you understand what I'm saying? The bible says that by the age of 12, Jesus was in the temple, and he was learning. Why was he learning? Why was he learning? Improving his mind. He was growing in wisdom, the bible says. In wisdom, the bible says. David behaved himself wisely. What if he did foolishly? Rise up on your feet.

No limitation holds me down. I will rise, and the glory will speak. No limitation holds me down. I will rise, and the glory will see. The mighty Christ has come to say, I will rise and the glory will see. No limitation holds me down. Can you pray one prayer? Nothing will hinder my greatness. No limitation holds me down. No fam, no background, no curses, no strong man, no strong woman will stand in the way of my greatness.

Can you hold your head and pray one more time? And say no limitation holds me down. Nothing stands in the way of my greatness. Come on, lift your voice and pray right now. Nothing stands in the way of my greatness. Arise unending. The righteous is like the sun. It shines brighter. It shines brighter. It shines brighter.

My life shines brighter. My life shines brighter. No limitation me down. Father, in the name of Jesus. I declare for everyone under the sound of my voice. You are prospering on all sides. Your head is lifted. God has given you rest round about. Your eyes are open to see the needs around you. The needs around you, the wants around you, your eyes are seen.

The problems you have been called to solve, your eyes are seen. The value you have to offer, your eyes are seen. There can be opportunities around you, but your eyes cannot see it. It is possible for there to be abounding opportunities that your eyes cannot see. The bible says that when that slave girl ran away from Abraham, she was thirsty, yet there was a well beside her that her eyes could not see. The angel came and told her, check. Just look beside you. And she looked and saw a well there. There's a way you can be so focused on your pain, your hunger, your thirst, the eyes are blinded to opportunities. But now I declare opportunities around you.

Let your eyes be open to see it. Opportunities abounding. Let your eyes be able to see it. In the name of Jesus. You are moving with speed. You are making massive sales. You are increasing on all sides. In the name of Jesus. The power to prosper is upon you. The spirit of excellence is upon you.

You cannot fail. In the name of Jesus. You are bagging multiple contracts. Signing multiple deals. In the name of Jesus. It is done. In the name of Jesus. Give God all the glory. Give God all the praise. Have your seats for a big moment.

Are you blessed in this meeting? Bring out your tithes. Bring out your offerings. Are you blessed? Bring out... Please apply these things. Apply them. Practice these things. These things will make you prosper. These things will make you great.

These are priceless principles, priceless jewels. You can't place a price on what you're hearing, and your destiny will thank you for it. Your future will thank you for it. If you're blessed, bring out your offerings, bring out your tithe, and let's let's appreciate God for light.
