Transcript: Breaking Out Of Tight Places

Listen to this message

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. The prophetic service today is for every man who feels surrounded on every side, pressed by life with no room to breathe, not because they are lazy, but because something unseen seems to be working against the emotion. It is for those who are burdened, for those who are hungry, those who know that there is more, Those who carry visions of enlargement in their spirit, but are trapped in the smallness of their current seasons. It is for those who have heard God, yet they see no result in their lives as a testament of the God that they heard. It is for the ones with journals full of prophecies, with dreams, with confirmations, with words, but nothing around them looks like what God has said. It's for those who have done all they know to do.

They have prayed. They have fasted. They have obeyed. They have served. And yet it feels like life has placed a kind of pause on their progress. It is for those who feels constrained, those who feel tied in a box, those who feel boxed in, those who feel as though they are trying to do everything they can to break out, but it looks as though there is no breaking out happening. I will be sharing on what I have titled breaking out of tight places. And these are the categories of people that I came for. Breaking out of tight places. Those who feel boxed in, those who those who feel put in a corner, as though you have plans you are working on, but it looks as though these things are not finding the light of day.

Those whose lives will move with more speed than they are currently experiencing. Those who are laboring, who are hardworking, but they never get result that is commensurate to their labor. Never get result commensurate to their labor. Those who feel that I'm at a point in my life where prophecies, certain prophecies should be manifesting. I should be seeing certain results, but look as though these things are not happening. It looks as though they're in a tight place, a tight corner. Those who look as though life is constraining them. Life is restricting them. These are the people I came for. It might not be everybody.

It might not be everybody. The thing about the presence of God is this, regardless of whatever circumstances you are in, the the word of God will still touch you. The word of God will still be sent to you. You will still receive the manifestation of your own word. But there are those that I was sent to. The Bible says that there were many widows in Zarephath, but all to know was Elias sent. I believe that this is a sent word for someone. I really believe so. I really believe so that this is a saint word. He sent his word, and he healed them.

He sent his word, and he delivered them. Hear me? Please do not miss your word. Do not miss your word. Every part of this teaching is designed to speak to you, to communicate a message, every part, every part. And it is through discernment that you will be able to know which one is custom made for you. I have many things to share I've got put into my spirit too. For some, it is the breaking out that is about to happen. For some, you are seated on the throne. You are Yahweh.

You are seated on the wide oath. On the wide oath, you are Yahweh. You are seated on the throne. He who dwells in the midst of the cherubim, shine forth. He who dwells in the midst of the cherubim, Shine for. Shine for. Shine like a mighty man. Shine for. Shine like Shine like a a warrior. Shine for.

Yield round in the knees. Stump a cherubby. Shine for. He dwells in the midst of the cherubim, shine for. Seated on the throne We're in the We're throne. Am your. Hear me? I define tightness in this regard as a spiritual condition or a state of existence where a man finds himself restricted, where a man finds himself confined, where a man finds himself oppressed on every side. It's a prayer meeting. It's a prophetic service.

I'm gonna try as much as possible to give instructions, and we're gonna pray at interjections. As God interrupts, we're gonna pray. I'll give you prayer points to pray. And there will be instructions as well. The the spirit of God will be ministering to people as his feet. A condition or a state of existence where a man finds himself restricted, where a man finds himself confined, where a man finds himself oppressed on every side. It is when the reality of a man's life contradicts the prophecy over him, when what you carry inside does not match what surrounds you externally. It is when life feels constrained as though unseen forces have wrapped themselves around your destiny, squeezing the potential out of your progress. You're not lazy. You're not unserious, but nothing is moving.

You are laboring, but not delivering. You are pressing, but not breaking through. These are tight places. They are ceasingness of constriction. Tightness is when it looks as though a flood of resistance is against a man. There is no margin to breathe, no space to plan, no room to stretch. But I bring the word of God for you today. As many as are under the sound of my voice, that this is what describes the current season of your life, You are breaking out. You are a man of war. I am your martyr.

Hear me? Lamentations chapter one verse three in the New Living Translation. I want you to see this very carefully. This is tightness. Judas has been led away into captivity. One, oppressed with Krell slavery. Two, she lives amongst foreign nations. Three, she has no place of rest. For... And you will think that is enough already.

Her enemies have chased her down. She has nowhere to turn. This is what describes tightness. It looks as though life is squeezing a man in. Nowhere to turn. Problems, issues on all sides of varying dimensions. In Psalms 18 in Psalms 18 verse four, David captured it very well. David said the ropes of death surrounded me. Floods of ungodliness made me afraid. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me.

The snakes of death confronted me. Can somebody pray right now? Can you shout loud and clear, my father, my father. Break me out of every tight place The enemy has put me. In the name of dreams. Will you lift your voice and pray? Amen. Amen. When a man is in a tight place, the man cannot stretch. Every dimension that you turn, there is resistance.

The man cannot breathe, wakes up tired, goes to bed anxious. The man cannot grow. No matter how much he tries, your environment will not allow expansion. He can explain it. Even the man does not understand why things are not working. You can't settle. There is there is restlessness. No open doors, but God is breaking you out. It is possible for a man to experience tightness in his finances. Your hand was never enough.

You are living from hand to mouth literally. Money comes only to disappear. Consumed by bills, consumed by rent, consumed by fees, consumed by debt. And there are people that pay debt with every amount of money that they receive, literally. There's no capacity to give, no strength to invest, no rest in their finances. This type of type this type of lack is not just is not just lack. It is bondage, and God is breaking you out. God is breaking you out. In Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 44, the bible speaks of what should be the reality of the believer. The bible says he shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him.

He shall be the head and not the tail. Glory to god. Glory. When a man is in a tight spot, he's not the head, he's always the tail. His life contradicts prophecy. Glory to God. Glory. And instead of the man being the head, this curse becomes the curse of tightness that the man experiences. Remember the bible says that you will lend to nations. But for this particular person, he said, instead of lending to nations, he will be the one lending to you.

Keep... Go back there. He will be the one lending to you, speaking of the elder brother now, would be the one lending to you, and you would never have money to even give to others, to even spend on yourself. Instead of being the head, you will be the tail. This is not the lot for believers. This is not the reality for believers. The reality for believers is that you will be the head and not the tail. Above only and not beneath. Any other reality apart from this is an anomaly, and you must reject it. I reject being the tail.

I reject being beneath. I reject being beneath. I reject I being When need becomes your master, you cannot live above need. You are governed by your needs. You are controlled and regulated by your needs. Controlled and regulated by your needs. The widow of Zarephath in first Kings 17 from verse eight to verse 16, that widow had just finished a handful of flour and a little oil. That was all she had left, and she was gathering sticks to eat what was gonna be her last meal and then die. That is tightness. No future, no options, just a countdown to starvation.

This is all that we have left, and our plan is just to eat and die. That's tightness. How about that widow whose husband was a prophet in second Kings from chapter four from verse one to verse seven? Our husband feared the Lord. Our husband was God fearing, was a prophet, but he was in debt. Are many believers like that, God fearing. Men of them have a call of God upon their lives. This one was a prophet. Our husband was a prophet. And guess what?

He was in debt even as a prophet. My goodness. You mean ministry? Is that what God have ordained for a man in ministry? That you are doing the work of God and you are in debt. And I don't know the kind of debt that this man entered. But even when he died, the creditors came and said, you know what? Your husband signed his children as collateral. That woman had nothing left. She was not lazy.

She was not faithless, but she was stuck. She might even be hardworking, but a husband had left her a a a heap of debt for her to carry. How about the Israelites in Egypt? They worked hard, yet they owned nothing. Their labor was built on another man's empire. They were financially oppressed. They were burdened with work, but denied wealth that should be theirs. Ephesians one verse 14 says, they made their lives bitter with hard bondage. That is tightness. When you have energy, you have gifts, you have capacity, you have skills.

You went to school, but there is no access. There is no ownership. There is no wealth. That is tightness. If you look at Nigeria right now, you would see that there is literally tightness in the land. The federal government released their new tax reformation bill. And when you study it, you find that there's nothing wrong with the bill. It's a very good bill, except for the fact that it reveals that even the federal government knows the state of the nation. And according to professionals, according to economists who sat down to draft this thing, They looked at the economy of the nation, and they decided, they saw by fact that a man that hands 250,000 naira per month is poor. Federal government signed.

Federal government signed. And guess what? That is not even the minimum wage. Should it not be that a man that is... The question we should begin to ask is how many people who work in the civil service earn up to $250,000 naira per month? How many lecturers earn up to 250,000 naira per month? And yet the federal government said that they are poor. Now think about it. Think about it. Think about the life of the average man earning 180,000, 150,000 naira.

Think about the cost of transportation and the numerous bills he has to pay. You will realize that the system makes you literally live from hand to mouth. There is only ever enough for you to take care of yourself and you're okay. If you attempt to give out of it, the system tells you, be careful. Be careful. You don't have enough to give. Tightness. In Agai chapter one verse six, the bible explains this a little bit more. It says you have so much, and you bring in little tightness. You eat, but you do not have enough tightness.

You drink, but you are not filled even with what you are drinking. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who hangs wedges hens wedges to put it in a bag with holes. This is the mystery of devourers, invincible forces that consumes income, that drains harvest. And people who are in this state are in trouble. There are people who are in a tight place even in their destiny. This is the realm where a man's prophetic destiny does not yet align with his natural reality. It is the space between God's sake and what you see. It is the frustration of carrying prophecy, but living in contradiction. In Joseph's life, we see that an example of tightness.

Joseph in the bible dreams of greatness. He sees visions of dominion. He has accurate prophetic clarity, but his life took a different path. He started from the pit, became a slave, then into the prison tightness, where it looks as though your experiences does not look like what God has said or what God has spoken over your life. Everything about the situation up until that point contradicted his prophecy. How about David, A teenager. And as a teenager, he was anointed as king. But for years, he ran like a fugitive. He hid in caves because he was being pursued left, right, and center. He lived under siege.

He had the anointing but never had the throne. And this was a man that was anointed. He was not looking for it. They came to come and call him where he was heading sheep, and he was told, thus said the Lord, you will be a king over Israel. He wasn't looking for it, yet God found him there. And you would think that his life would be smooth from that horn, but no. The same person that he was meant to replace was throwing javelina and wanted to kill him, looking for him with soldiers, hunting for his life. This was what began the narrative of his life after prophecy was declared. It was David that prayed in Psalm 13 verse one. How long, oh Lord, will you forget me forever?

An angel came to Gideon and told Gideon, the Lord is with you, mighty man of valor. The angel did not tell Gideon, the Lord will be with you and you'll be mighty. The angel told Gideon, the Lord is with you. Mighty man of our love. The Lord is with you. Present tense reality. Yet the man that the Lord is with is hiding like a coward from war. The man that they call mighty is hiding like a coward from war. And Gideon replies, if the Lord is truly with us, then why has all these things happened to us? Destiny tightness is when God sees something in a man, but your life does not reflect what God is saying yet.

Yet. A lot of students fail because they are lazy, and they're not willing to put in the effort it takes to succeed. But I've seen students who are not lazy. They study. They attend lectures, submit assignments on time, and still they do not see the result that they expect in their lives. Their grades never never reflect their effort, and even simple things become hard to understand. I know people who read materials, study well, revise well, solve past questions. But once the exam starts, their mind goes blank. How about people? They pass other courses, but one course continues to drag them down.

I know someone when we're in the final year. When the person met with me, he was meant to have graduated three years ago. Three years ago then. You understand what I'm saying? However, he continued to fill a course from 200 level till final year. He had been carrying it over and kept on filling. One course. And you know in US system, you cannot rewrite one course if you have a carryover. You have to take several because there's a particular unit system that you must cumulatively get. Is that not so?

He will pass everything and fail that course. So by the time he was meeting me, that had happened three times. After his mates graduated, first year, passed everything failed. Second year, passed everything failed. Third year, passed everything failed. If he was done, he should be feeling everything. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, sir. This is somebody who came to me and met with me crying in tears. Said he's about to write his exam, and he's afraid for himself.

At this point nine, this is about six years of doing that same exam. Six years now of doing that same thing. If I've been doing something for six years, at least, that's the time it takes for me to be a doctor. And the guy has failed consistently. And he would come and meet me and said, because of this, nothing else works in his life. This is an example of tightness. Can you stay with me? I'm breaking out. Say I'm breaking out. Somebody came to meet me, the person said, apostle, in my business, I used to be a shining star, but I can't explain what happened.

It looks as though all of a sudden, everything does turn bad. This is someone who is intelligent, someone who is sharp, someone who is smart, obviously putting in all the effort. But the time comes when it looks as though a man just enters into that tight place where it looks as though nothing is nothing is working as they should. Nothing is working as they should. I met someone else who came some time ago, and the person showed me the designs that they have done. The person showed me the works that they have done, and I saw so much giftedness, so much talent. And I said to myself, how how can a man be this gifted and be this poor? I saw the man, and it was as though if you search for poverty in dictionary, you will see him. Yet the gift was strong. The talent was crazy.

The skill was massive. But tightness. Tightness and destiny. I have seen families like that. They struggle for everything. Nothing comes with ease. Nothing. Nothing. Even if they will eventually do it, they wanna pay school fees. It will eventually happen, but never with ease.

You don't understand what I'm saying? It's not as though they would not be able to. Eventually, they will gather it, but it must be half that they have they have they have they have tried everything, squeezed out their last couple from everywhere, walked their life to death, then they would now be able to gather it. They would now call the son. They would say, son, you have finally been able to gather this all. Please be very careful. And some people grew up like that, witnessing a life of tightness. Witnessing what now? A literally born in tightness. God is breaking you out.

For someone, it will look as though finally there is ventilation. Finally. Finally. It will look as though finally there is ventilation. You know when someone struggles expecting that they get returns for results? Struggles and labels and expect that they get returns to match the label that they have put in. Yet still, nothing. Until you take a return. You know what I have observed? Tightness often precedes manifestation.

Like a woman in labor, the contractions signal that something is about to be born. It is a sign that something is about to break. Sir. Jesus said in John chapter 16 verse 21, a woman when she's in travail at sorrow because her hour has come. A birthing woman is in pain. A birthing woman is in sorrow. But even inside the pain, she's not hopeless because she knows what is coming. She's not hopeless because she knows what is coming. It does not matter the type of tight spot you might be in listening to me. It may just be that it is because your heart has come.

There may be sorrow. There may be pain, or it may be the pain that comes before delivery. That your life is about to bet something, so there is contraction. There is constriction. Contraction is tightness. I hope you know. There is a kind of tightness I have observed that comes just before manifestation. Just before manifestation. A kind of tightness that comes, and that tightness has a purpose. I'm here to show you how to break out, but I also want to show you the purpose of tightness.

That's why I said, your words will come. You see? It has a purpose. Because in Psalms chapter 66, in the KJV verse 12, the Bible says, you have caused men to ride over our heads, tightness. We went through fire, tightness. We went through water, tightness, but you have brought us into a wealthy place. This is the pain before the burden. The pain before the beating. The pain that a woman in delivery feels because she's about to deliver. This is tightness, but the end of it was abundance.

And there's someone listening to me that what God is saying is that your current experiences is the sign you need to know that you're about to step into a season of abundance. So my task is to show you how to break out. But first, I want to show you that that season has a purpose. But there are time when God uses that place you are in as a divine tool for formation. There are lessons that the palace cannot teach you. Only the prison can. And that is why before the palace, you would encounter the prison. There are dimensions of God you will never know until you are pressed on every side. Isn't this what Paul describes as we are pressed on every side? There is a weight of destiny that you are not ready to carry just yet because you have not built capacity for it.

Yes, sir. Bless you. So that tightness becomes your classroom. Yes. That tightness becomes your tutor so that glory does not wound you. And there are times like that. For someone, your word is not in the flyings and the jumping that come when the power of God starts to move. For someone, your word is in the instructions that I give. Your word is in the revelation that comes. Your word is in God showing you the purpose of what you are going through so that you know what prayer you begin to pray.

This is something that you rarely ever had thought in the body of Christ. This is something that many people do not want to teach, but we know because the bible teaches it. We know because it is true that there are times when pain becomes a classroom. God is not the one that orchestrates it, but he can use it. He can use it. Sometimes it might even be your own foolishness that orchestrated the tightness. You pulled out of a relationship you should not have pulled out from and then closed multiple doors to yourself, and you launched yourself into an era of struggling in your finances because you were foolish. And God says, perfect. This is precisely the opportunity you have been looking for. There are many lessons you'll begin to learn right now.

It's not as though we cannot break you out, but we will take advantage of this season to show you certain things. Deuteronomy chapter eight from verse one. We read to verse four in the new kingdom's version. The bible says, every commandment which I must command you today, you must careful to observe that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. Have you seen the hand? Have you seen the hand? Next verse. Now watch this. Watch this. And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way this forty years in the wilderness.

How do you know that their journey was never meant to be forty years? There was a route that was meant to take them fourteen days. God not take them through that route. God took them through another route that should have taken them forty days. But in their own stubbornness, they elongated what should have been forty days into one, two, three, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years. And God said, even in that, understand that I was leading you. And understand why I was leading you, to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not, whether you would enter into glory and forget the Lord that brought you out. Look at verse three. Verse three says, so he humbled you and allowed you to hunger. He didn't cause it.

He wasn't the one that caused it. Your own stubbornness, your own ingratitude caused it, but he gave allowance for it. Why? So that he can feed you with manna. And there was a lesson he wanted you to get even in his feeding you with manna. The bible said, which your... Which you did not know nor your fathers knew that he might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone. That lesson, they won't learn it in the promised land. I hope you know that this was the same lesson that Jesus quoted when the devil was speaking to Jesus in Matthew chapter four. How did God teach some people that lesson?

He took them through an experience in the wilderness. It took them through an experience in the wilderness, and it shows them. It tells them, the reason why you have gone through this is so that you can know that man cannot live just by your physical needs, even as legitimate as they can be. There is a superior realm. Man shall live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. So God wanted to teach them not to rely on material sustenance, and it it takes them through a journey to show them this. Look at verse four. Verse four says your garments. Understand this, oh, you were in the wilderness, but realize what happened to you trekking in the wilderness without technological advancement. Watch this.

Your garments did not wear out. So even the cloth you were wearing, I preserved it. I wanted to teach you something. But even in the tightness, you did not lack food. I still provided for you. Even your garment did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years even though you were working on your barefoot. Yes. You will break out. Yes. There will be speed.

Yes. There will be favor. Yes. There will be enlightenment. And for many of you, that happened today. Listen. That even whilst God is breaking you out, it takes advantage of your situation to tutor you. This is something many believers have not been taught, but it is true. It is true that tightness reveals what you believe. In second Corinthians one verse nine, the bible says, it was Paul that was speaking.

Yes. We had the sentence of death in ourselves. Can you see that? In other words, Paul is saying, we had the sentence of death. We were in a we were in tight place. Sentenced to death, but inside of it, even though we were delivered, we learned through that process that we should not trust in ourselves but in God. And what God wanted to teach us in that situation was I am the God that raises the dead. Was it God that sentenced them to death? But he took advantage to introduce an education to them. That in this spot that you are in, I don't deny that I will break you out.

I don't deny that I will deliver you. I don't deny that I will come through as your breaker. But understand from this experience that I can raise the dead. And Paul says that was how we knew not to trust in ourselves but in God. You now understand why when he was traveling to go and preach this wonderful gospel, and there were many soldiers around him with a boat, and they were surrounded by so great a flood in that boat. And everybody was afraid of death. This guy was calm. You now understand why he could be calm. Because that was not the first time he had been sentenced to death. But God delivered him.

So he knows. He told all of them, he says nobody here will die. Every single soldier here will make it out alive if you do what I say. There is something that God takes a man through that brings you to a place of trust in God. When everything is stripped, when the money is stripped, their plus is stripped, the comfort, the help, that is when your core beliefs are exposed. Tight places have a way of pulling off the religious mask, and it reveals what you truly believe about God, what you believe about yourself, what you believe when your hands are empty. Some people only trust in God until their account balance drops, and it becomes obvious that your faith was never in God. Your faith was never in God. Because when everything was working well, you were a serious believer. But the moment life shook you, it became obvious that the reason why you were following God was for material things, and God had to allow some things to reveal your belief.

Why why are you weak? Why are you weak in faith? Why are you weak in faith? There are times that this tight place is good character in you. Let me show you a scripture. Romans five from verse three, NLT to verse four. It says, we can rejoice too when we run into problems. We can rejoice. We can rejoice. When we run into trials, we can rejoice.

For we know that these problems and these trials help us develop endurance. Help us develop endurance. Look at the next verse. The next verse says, and endurance develops strength of character. Character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. There are levels of maturity that can only be forged through fire. So if you understand this, you will know that those seasons make you fervent spiritually, tough mentally, stable emotionally. The bible says Jesus lent obedience through the things that he suffered. But if you don't know this, you will crash when the seasons come. You will give up too soon.

You will withdraw from prayer when you when you should press deeper in prayers. You will abandon your call because you think your pain means God has left you. You will disconnect from spiritual covering. Walk away from prophecy. It is possible to even lose confidence in God altogether because you have no understanding of what God does in tight situations. You begin to envy those whose lives look easier. You will assume God has forgotten you. You may even start to question everything God has ever said to you. That is why I bring you this understanding. So that even through the process, your faith can stand strong.

You will know God is not weak in delivering you. For some, that day of delivery is today. For others, it is strength. Jesus said, let this cup pass over me. That was his prayer point. Many of you have been praying the wrong prayer Because the cup would not pass over him. He must drink that cup. Because there is glory that will only manifest after the cup is drunk. So if the cup can pass over him, but he would have missed the glory. So the question is the question is, are we willing to risk the future of humanity for your comfort?

You didn't get what I just said. Are we willing to to risk the salvation of humanity and the glory that is to come? How that we can by you have many sons in glory? What will eventually become glory? What will eventually become the opportunity for him to now go and have the warfare of a lifetime? To go and collect the keys of Hades, But to appear there, you must drink the cup. You must drink the cup. And the purpose of the cup is to show Hades that your Hades has no power. Three days after, I will rise again. But what was he praying?

Let this cop pass over me. Let this cop pass over me. Because he thought about what it would take. He thought about the public shame, the public disgrace, the public sorrow, how he will be dragged across the street naked. Do you know he was stuck naked? Don't mind all these things you watch in movies. He was wearing no clothes, completely bare, paraded on the street. He saw what it would take. He was a human being. Broke down, and he said, let...

Can this thing just pass off? And I wondered if God had answered, where would Emmanuel be? That's the same question if God answers some of you. Where will your generation be? And God said, there are things that we will allow because there's a man you must become. There's a woman you must become. So I am instead working character in you. I'm working dependence, trust so that you know how to trust in God. A young man shared testimony with me. He came to me in this place.

He told me, he said, want to pay school fees, and he could not pay school fees. And they called his parent, and won't fought with him for telling them that he does not want to apply for a loan. There's nothing wrong in that, by the way. Doesn't want to apply for a loan. Let me say that again. There's nothing wrong in that, by the way. In case you missed it. Glory to God. He said, I believe that this thing can come, and he came to meet me. And I saw...

The bible says, when Paul saw faith in the man, he was talking to me. There are people that talk to me. I don't see faith in them. I know his has carry, strong head. And I tell them, I said, one was telling me the other day, I said, sir, I know I... He was talking. I said, oh, uncle alone. Collect it fast. You know, nothing will happen. But this man was speaking, and I saw faith.

I said, hey. To be fooling now to discourage this faith. I said trust in God. I told him, trust in God, and he left. Sometime again, came to me. He said, my parents are fighting me when they realized I had not collected the loan. Yes, sir. I brought a seed. I know this thing will come. I say, ah ah.

Thought this one, this thing. Who thought this one, this thing? When the thing was to be over, this COVID had not been paid. The day deadline was over, the school fees had not been paid. School fees had not been paid. School fees had not been paid. 6PM, school had not been paid. 8PM, school had not been paid. 10PM. Told me somebody messaged him Out of nowhere, I was just talking to him, a friend of his.

And he so for half an hour, I learned school fees was... Have you paid? He said, no. Send me account number. I'm paid everything there. Everything. When he came to tell, even me, I didn't know how God will do it. Oh, I myself was humbled. I say, because I I witnessed that man's faith process. I witnessed it.

I said, my goodness. I said, I hope you will know that these are stones you will carry. I told him, I hope you know that this tightness you have just experienced now is for God showing you that I am hell dry rain. Let nothing ever become too too big a mountain that you cannot think God will provide. God has taken you through a journey to intentionally slap the knowledge on your heart. That man has had an experience that a thousand book cannot teach him. Let me say it again. That man has had an experience that a thousand books cannot teach him. And men don't know. Men don't know.

Many think that the testimony is that the answer comes immediately. The seed was placed in my hands. And I said, go. But faith has made you whole. And when they find out that 6PM, COVID has not been paid, then they become confused. They say, Kai, what's now the purpose of this thing? If I had known I should have, they start cursing God. Job's wife came to Job and said, curse God and die. Curse God and die. I wonder why God had to wait till 11PM.

It was the same reason why God waited for Abraham to place a knife on his son's neck. God would have told him while he was... Hey. I see your faith. Go back. Oga had to place the knife. God was checking. Will you turn back? Will you question? Will you turn back?

And the moment God saw that, ah, this this guy is gone. He's gone. He's gone. The moment God saw, God said, come. Come. Come. I took you through this journey to show you, like, peace to trust in God. And right there, God provided it now. And God told him, I never really wanted your son. There are things God can demand for a man...

From a man. God will keep on telling the man, empty. Empty. Empty. Empty. Empty. God is taking you through a process. Through a process. And you will shout for deliverance. God will not deliver you.

There are people that I have seen who were brought up in oppression, and they came to me. They said, sir, I want to run away. And when the person was telling me what they were going through, I felt anger in my heart. I wanted to recommend running away and say, you know what? More human being deserves to go through this. Pack your bag and go. And the Lord whispered, thou shall not run. I told the young man, you're not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere. You're staying there.

How else would you learn to stand for yourself? How else would you learn to stand in front of life and get what life holds you if your introduction into the marketplace is running away from challenges. As they are oppressing you, one day boldness will rise in prayers. And you say, ah, this is my life. This is my life. A revelation of God will stand so strong in your life. May God keep you understand. That God can take advantage of it. God can take advantage of it. It's not as though that glory will not shine.

But God is teaching you character even through the dishonor. You went to a place to minister and despite all the visions of glory you have seen. That your voice would be a voice of revival to the world. And they called the man of revival to minister. When you get there, they forgot they call you. You are standing by the bus station. You are calling everybody who invited you. Nobody would pick your call. And you are there for six hours, seven hours. Rain beat you and and fall on you there.

And I'm saying, God, you even try to accept authority. You say, rain, stop. And they are saying stop. The rain is falling on you. And this is the man that came to come and cast out devils in a meeting. I I cannot even stop the rain. The devil now start whispering. It's it's it's something. You have said should stop. Rain did not stop.

See your life. See your life. What will keep you in tightness is what do you know? Do you have the understanding I'm supplying right now even whilst God is breaking you out? Even whilst God is breaking you out. The bible says the race is not to the sweet. The battle is not to the strong nor yet favor to men of steel, nor yet bread to the wise, but riches to men of understanding, but time and chance. It means there is a time where even the swift will lose the race, that a man is fast, and he would labor to be that fast. And when they appear on the track of destiny, it would look as though all the years he spent laboring meant nothing. People did not even labor as much as he did.

Just work and then they fasting. And it it cannot explain why they're exacting himself this much. It's in a place of tightness, a point of tightness. But the bible says, time and chance. A time is coming like today is a time for many. The time is coming. And all of a sudden, the curtains are open. All of a sudden, the veil is torn. All of a sudden. But if a man has no understanding, you can curse God.

If a man has no understanding, you can curse God. Oh, we have been through many seasons. We have been through many seasons. We have been through many seasons, but we had discernment to know that this was not a destination. We have understanding to know that this cannot be all that God is doing. We knew how that God uses these occasions to drive home a lesson. God is telling you go into the secret room and contend for more until people perceive your value as something that is priceless as something that is priceless. But if you're all about deliverance, you'll be doing everything in your power to come out fast. Whereas the state of your heart is not even prepared for greatness. Because if God leaves you like that, they would come and pick you up in the airport one day, and they will come with five convoys, and you will be angry.

That why is nothing? You will book a flight and go back, and God will say this is not the person I was trying to raise. But he he didn't finish the process. He didn't finish the process. What is your wisdom? What are saying? What is your wisdom? What are you saying? I thought it's strong in my spirit. God saying I should come and give perspective.

Perspective. I thought it's so strong. There are times when there is nothing wrong with you. Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you. Do you know that when this guy was standing, do you know how the unctioned sleeves? The unctioned sleeves naked, not wearing any clothes. Because the person who wants to buy, he must measure everything he wants to buy, including the pubic region. So everything must be standing bare. That was how Joseph was being auctioned when he was standing.

He was put out... He he was put on a stable with plenty of other slaves. That was when the Egyptians came. And they checked. They said, okay. This one. This one. And whilst they put him in shackles, you know what the bible says? The bible said, and Joseph was a prosperous man. And Joseph was a prosper...

How can a man be going through that kind of a thing? And the bible is not saying Joseph is in need of deliverance. Of Joseph at that point was that he was for God was with him. There are many people I'm speaking that the glory of God is so strong on them, so strong on them, that the presence of God is so strong on them. And what God is saying is know that I am with you. Know that I am with you. Know that I am walking through this process, through this phase, through this faith with you. No. Do you know that? I was reading the bible one day, and the holy spirit corrected me.

I was hoping that I have believed for a long time. You know, I've always believed. That's why it's good to study your bible. I must have heard it from a preacher. I heard it from someone. Who said that God promised them four hundred years, right, to stay in Egypt? When four hundred and thirty years was over, is that not so? And the person said the reason why it was four hundred and thirty years was because Moses delayed. I've even preached it also. Was because Moses delayed them.

Moses ran away from destiny. And he went and was Jesus doing one thing. It took forty years for Moses to realize his purpose. That was not what happened. It's not revelation. It's scripture. It is not what happened according to scriptures. Moses is not letting anybody. It was according to God's own timing. If it was Moses that delayed 430, it should be four hundred and forty.

That means four hundred years was over with extra forty years that Moses has delayed. But that was not what happened. God left Moses alone until it was time for Moses to rise. Moses was not praying. He wasn't fasting. He was going about his daily activity, headingship, and there he was seeing a burning fire. There he was seeing a burning fire. Why it was 430 was when they started counting. Do you understand what I've said? It was just the period the counting began.

Because chronologically speaking, even four hundred years wasn't what they spent in Egypt, chronologically speaking if you count. They spent less than that, but that was not when they started the count. When they started the count was after God gave Abraham the promise. How many counting began? What is my point? What is my point? Why did I go that way? I went that way to show you. And when it was time for Moses to appear, he appeared, and nothing stopped him. Nothing will stop your destiny.

Having said all of this, how then do you break out of tightness? Ah, the power of God is so strong. I'm putting my hands in my pocket. I can keep fire in my pocket. Our god is so strong. What I'm getting is somebody's storehouse is about to increase. The Lord is... That means God is placing an anointing on what you do. To bring you input and to bring you wealth. I'm hearing something like like like line...

Linus or Linus, something like that. Linus or Linus or something. I can't... I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. Linus. Linus. There's anybody like that you can come outside. Hear me? Hear me. Come.

What is the name? What is the name? Linus. It's a name. Just hold my hands. The word really is not even for that man. The word really is for you. And this is what the Lord says. The Lord says that you have been tied like a lion that have been chained in the neck and tied to a branch of a tree or an elephant that have been tied to a branch of a tree or a pole from growing up. And that that that that that yoke has always been there.

So he grew up like that. And now that he has matured, he can simply shrug it off. But there is a chain, a mental blockage that makes him believe that that tree that is tied to is bigger than him. There is a a kind of stronghold that I am seeing that is in the mind that makes you small in your mind, makes you weak in your mind, makes you feel as though even though you have plenty dreams of possibilities, you begin to wonder if this is the type of person that can do it, and you undermine your capacity for exploits and for increase. And God says, God says, God says, that he has arisen as a breaker. God says he has arisen as a breaker. He has taken those chains off your hands, all of a sudden, that weak lion tied down is becoming stronger. And in the same manner that the destiny of a nation was tied in the mind of Gideon. And Gideon could not know that he was a mighty man in that in that same manner. It was in one day that the heavens opened, and Gideon knew that he was mighty.

And after Gideon knew, he sounded a trumpet. He suddenly knew that I have what it takes to sound a trumpet on the city. The city will gather to me the same revelation, the same awareness that makes a man know that he's mighty, that I can sound the trumpet and the city can gather to me. I see the same thing happening even with you. Bring her up. Let me... I wanna lay my hands on her. See the same thing happened even with you. Even as I lay my hands on her, I'm seeing light leaving her and entering three other people. Hear me?

Hear me? Hear me? The number one force that breaks a man out of tightness. You hear me? I wanna give you instructions before we pray. The number one thing that breaks a man, a few instructions and then we pray out of tightness. Number one, the force of sacrifice or the force of giving and sacrifice. The force of giving and sacrifice. One of the greater deceptions when a man is in a tight spot is the idea that you should stop giving until things get better. That you should hold, you should preserve, you should manage what you have until you come into a season of abundance, then you can now begin to give.

But in the realm of the spirit, that mindset is a trap. Listen to me. Tightness is not the time to withhold. It is the time to give. Because giving is not just a financial heart. It is a spiritual weapon. It is how we provoke intervention. It is how we break the power of insufficiency. Do you know that it was inside intense famine that God commanded Isaac to sow? It was inside intense famine that God commanded Isaac to sow.

And in Genesis 26 verse 12, the bible says, and Isaac sowed that same land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him. What many people do when things are tight is that they withhold their hand. They stop giving. They step into a mode of self preservation, but that is exactly what sustains the cycle of tightness. Isaac sold in a time of famine, not when it was convenient. Your way out is not withholding. Your way out is releasing. When you are in a tight place, take a sacrifice and give it. A sacrifice is something that cost you.

It is giving that stretches you, that goes beyond convenience, that goes beyond comfort. In that act of intentional release, you are demonstrating faith. You are demonstrating trust. You are acknowledging that your ultimate source, not your own limited supply. You are acknowledging that your ultimate source is God's limitless provision. Giving and sacrifice breaks the spirit of fear and cavity. Because what fear tells you is if I give, I won't have enough. But giving is how you tell your soul. I don't survive by what I keep. I thrive by whom I trust, and my trust is in God.

Proverbs chapter 11 verse 24, the New Living Translation. I want us to read it together. One two three, go. Are you ready? Give freely and do what? Uh-huh. I want us to do it in MSG. Now note this. MSG. Watch this.

Watch this. One two three. Go. Tightness. Tightness. No. That does not say the bank account, the financial life. It says the world. Everything that surrounds a man's world only becomes large and large. It means if a man is in a tight place, how you make your world larger is given.

How you break yourself out into limitless possibilities is given. Haggai chapter one verse six. I showed you already. The bible says, you have sown much and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you are not filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages, earns wages to put in a bag with oaths. We saw it earlier. Is that not so?

Now watch this. Next verse. Thus says to lot of hosts, consider your ways. Next verse. So in considering your ways, what must you do? Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the house. Verse six says, you collect your wages, but you put in a bag with holes. You eat, yet you are still tight even you're eating. You drink, you are still tight even you're drinking. Are you not a fool?

Can't you see that your spending on yourself as a means of self preservation is bringing you more loss? God then tells them, consider your ways. Go up the mountains of influence. I've thought you this before. Bring wood that the house of God might be built. In other words, give to the house of God. Give to the building of the house of God. That was what God gave them as the solution to the devouring spirit. He says spend yourself in giving, then I will take pleasure in it, and the Lord will be glorified. Spend yourself in giving.

Give. Give to the house of God. Give to the house of God. How about that story of the widow of Zarephat? It is probably one of the most striking examples of breaking out of severe tightness within scripture. Just imagine the situation. There was intense famine. She's a widow. She only has a handful of flour and oil, enough for one last meal for myself and a son before she dies. This is an epitome of tightness.

Then God commands Elijah to go to her, and Elijah in turn commands her to give him the last muscle of bread that she has, tightness. This is where human logic completely breaks down because human logic will tell you, no. Preserve the last. In fact, spread the last for, like, five days to extend the time you will die. That's what human logic says. Yet our response is the bedrock of this principle. She obeyed. She made a sacrifice, giving out of her lack, not out of her abundance. And what was the result? First Kings 17 verse 16.

The Bible says, for the jar of flour did not become empty, neither did a jug of oil run dry according to the word of the Lord that is spoke by Elijah. She lived and she was sustained because she understood that in tightness, you don't withhold. It is a subtle mentality to constrain yourself in giving because you are in a tight spot, but not respond according to the flesh. Tap into this reality and understand what I'm teaching you. It is inside that situation. Give them all. Give them all. Sacrifice them all. Empty even more. Number two, the force of praise and joy.

Because many a times when people are in a tight spot, our natural tendency is to complain, is to worry, is to withdraw. But the kingdom of God operates on a different frequency. The kingdom will teach you that in the face of adversity, praise is not just an emotional response. It's a strategic weapon. Praise is the battle cry that shifts atmospheres. In Acts sixteen twenty five twenty six in NLT, the bible says around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off. Paul and Silas were not singing because they were free. They were singing in a tight spot.

They were singing in the prison. They were singing in the prison. Who sings in the prison? Who praises God in the prison? I'm showing you what to do in tightness. It's what you do in tightness. You don't grumble there. You don't complain there. Oh my god. Do you understand what I'm saying here?

That's where you put on your garment of praise and you begin to rejoice. People will see you rejoicing, and they will think that the testimony has come. And you don't know you are rejoicing inside the prison. Their praise was defiant declaration of God's sovereignty over their circumstances. It wasn't just a quiet murmur. It was loud. They were making joyful sound that appeared... That permeated through the prison. Every prisoner could hear them. That was how loud their praise was.

And the result was not gradual. It was instant. It was instant. The foundations of their confinement were shaken. This tells you that praise, especially praise done in adversity, doesn't just change your mood. It changes your environment. It literally shuts and shifts spiritual atmosphere. It's a spiritual earthquake that dismantles strongholds of limitation. Means when you choose to praise God amidst your tightness, you are not denying the reality of your situation. Instead, you are declaring a higher reality.

You are saying God's power is bigger than this. Oh, I know that God's power is bigger than this. I know. You don't surround yourself with gloom just because things are not going well. Let your response be that of praise and joy. One of my guys came. Came from a very, very... It it didn't come from the best of families. Let me just put it that way. It didn't come from the best of families.

Families where when God given them type of prophecy, you wonder how will it happen. How? This my old man was with me. I called him out. I said, I'm seeing you standing in front of white men. He was telling me today. He said, apostle, do you know I have a testimony? I said, what is testimony? He said, I wrote my first international exam to go abroad, the amount to be paid was I think 500,000 naira or so, 500,000. He said, and I did not have it.

I was telling everybody that I'm paying for it. I'm I'm registering for this exam by Thursday. Even a day before the exam, when I told them I was registering, I had, I think, $150,000 naira or so. Yet I kept on telling them, I'm registering on Thursday. Supernaturally, the money came. The next exam... I passed, by the way. And the person qualified him for the next exam. The next exam is to be written in The UK. That means he has to go to The UK and write it.

If I... Then the the the the amount of money it would take to register for that exam was 2,000,000 naira. I told you that this person came from your family where you would doubt. You could wonder how will this thing happen. How will this thing happen? He said he was in a prophetic service like this, and he received the word just like you are receiving now. That God is opening the fear of your helpers to remember you. To remember... And there is someone here listening to me. People are remembering you.

They are remembering you for help. Same way the king remembered Mordecai. Your helpers are remembering you. The book of remembrance is open You hear me? He received the word, oh, and as he left, it just came to his mind. He said, reach out to one of your one of one of your friends. And he called the person. The friend that he called is in that same place, and the friend was sharing his challenges with him that I don't have a place to stay, if I can get a place to stay, an accommodation, before you come, I will sponsor you. He said, ah, when he heard that one, he said he turned his prayer away from himself. He said, I think, God, give up.

I told you that purpose will make you know what to pray. He that a thing, God? Give that person accommodation. He must have. And the friend called him. He said, I've gotten accommodation. You registered for the exam? He said, no. How much is it? He said, 2,000,000.

Okay. Tell me all the details. I'll register for you. Your friend will register for the exam for him right there. How about your weekend flight? I'll sponsor it. Was getting back yesterday morning today. Did not know about the... None of this. Hey.

Words were spoken many many years ago. Jesus. Many years ago. Many years ago. Unlike a dream. He told me that everybody in his family, when they were... When he was telling them, I'm writing this exam. I'm going to The UK. I'm practicing medicine in The UK. They were telling them...

They were they were laughing at him. They were laughing at him. They were laughing at him. When the prophet speaks... When even the prophet... When your prophet speaks. Don't you... I said this in two thousand and twenty or '21. It must fall to the ground. It cannot fall to the ground.

Your responsibility is to hold on to the world and to say what I've got. That... You must remember what was spoken. Must hold on to it. The word of God has gone ahead of me. The word of God has gone ahead of me. That must be your revelation. I must be your revelation. Your attitude is that of praise and joy. Your attitude is that of praise and joy.

Nehemiah chapter eight verse 10. The bible says then he said to them, go your way. Heat the fat. Drink the sweet and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our lord. Do not sorrow. It means it is possible to sorrow. But don't sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. This was spoken to a people who had just recognized their shortcomings and were mourning. These people were mourning when Nehemiah was speaking to them.

Why are you sorrowing? The response is joy. The response is joy because joy is not merely an emotion contingent on circumstances. It is a spiritual wellspring that provides strength. Rejoice. Again, I say rejoice. Over and over again, you'll see this command to believers. Rejoice. Do not wear your circumstances on your face. Do not wear it on your face.

Always be joyful. Always be joyful. Always be joyful. You know what people say? They say, ah, you better don't be too happy now. But that if you look at it, we are too happy. When your helper sees you, they will not know you have problem. That's stupidity. Go ahead. You better you better don't predict yourself as we are we are okay.

People that need to help you, you're not just think, ah, this one is not my husband's balance. That's not how favor works. That is not how god works. That is human nonsense, human psychology. So that if you pray to the bible, I thought you are okay. Those that should help you, they will not just help you. The question is, are they helping you out of pity or because there is oil on your head? That's the question. That's not how God blesses me. People consider it an honor to bless you.

Literally so. Number three, the force of prophetic instruction. The force of what? Prophetic instruction. John chapter two and verse five says, whatsoever he tells you to do, do it. A prophetic word declares what God wants you to do. A prophetic instruction tells you what you must do to see it manifest. Do you understand this? Like that brother that shared the testimony, he said, as he left the meeting and he received the word, he came to him, call this person. That's a prophetic instruction.

What often bridges the gap between the prophetic word and its manifestation is a prophetic instruction. And many people remain stuck in tightness, not because God has not spoken, but because they have not discerned or obeyed the specific step that they must take. Prophetic instruction is how God gives you customized direction for your unique lifting. It is how God gives you strategies that override conventional logic. The widow in second Kings chapter four from verse one to verse seven was in-depth. Her sons were about to be taken as slaves. She had a little oil, but it was not enough to change our situation until a prophetic instruction came, go and borrow vessels. Borrow not a few. Shut the door. Pour the oil.

Each of those instructions were strategic. If she had skipped one, the miracle would not have happened. Our deliverance was not just in the oil. It was in the doing. Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, go and sell the oil and pay the debt. Instructions. Tightness breaks open when you are sensitive to instructions. There are things God will tell you do, and you have to be sensitive to instructions. There are things God will tell you do. For a man struggling in business, for instance, as you start meditating and praying, as you are receiving this thing I'm saying, you might be held under the power, and God will start giving you instructions.

Stop selling this product. Buy over to another thing. Instructions. You have stayed in this place long enough. It's not opening because it's not meant to open. Leave it and do something else. I've been putting this burden in your heart for a long time. You have not done it. Cross there. Instructions.

Instructions. Your eyes begin to open. Your ears begin to hear. You begin to know what to do. And as you step out in doing it, the tightness breaks. This is where many people are limited. The world has gone forth, but they are slow in obeying instructions. They are they are slow in doing what now? Obeying instructions. Change your pricing structure.

Go and study on pricing. The reason you're not making so much sales is because you have not understood pricing well. Understand the logic behind pricing, then change your pricing structure. Say, You are wondering how can this kind of a thing come to me in prayers. What should now come to you in prayers? Son of man, arise. God will speak to you specific to your situation, specific to your circumstances, specific to what you are going through. God can tell you, register your business officially. That's why your help path can now approach you. Your business does not have credibility.

You say, wow. Simple instructions that leads to manifestation. You need a new location. Begin to expand. Go and search for a branch, this place. Go and search. Go and start scouting for a new location. Expand. Get more people. There are times that different strategies will be given to you by God to break you out.

It's not as though what people expect is that a mighty hand will come from heaven and break them out. But it's not every time God works like that. There are times it's an instruction. Whatever it tells you to do, do. Rebrand yourself. Rebrand yourself. This name you are using, it won't sell on the global market. Change it. Change it. Ah, but sir, I like the name.

It came to me in a vision. When God showed me that the name of my business will be kingdom of glory of God, grandmoth and oil. And you come for a meeting like this and instructions, instructions of destiny. That name would not sell on the marketplace. I know it came to you like that, but the fact that it came to you like that crude does not matter how you sell it crude. When the songs come to us, we don't sing it hard. It came crude. We profit it. Is that not so? Go to a studio.

Put it in a in a in a recording device. Put some songs on it. Lay it well. Make it more excellent before we come and give it to you. We would have recorded our natural voice and say and say, you know, this is how it came. Pray with it like that. Prophetic instructions. Start putting yourselves out. Go to the studio. Record yourselves.

Let people see you. Let your light so shine. You are not giving yourself visibility enough. Let your light so shine. Prophetic instructions that break you out of tightness. Start this. Move here. Go here. In Genesis 26, God told Isaac, don't go to Egypt. Stay in this land.

That one instruction preserved its economy during famine. He would have gone to Egypt and be tight. Elijah had to leave the brook when it dried up because the next instruction was connected to Saliphat to Saliphat. He didn't stay there and say, this is how God has been leading me. God can tell you, start a YouTube channel. Publish this book. Write this curriculum. Apply there. Keep on applying. There was one that came to me.

He said, God, put him. He should apply. He was he was just praying, and it came to his mind. Apply for 50 jobs every day. And he started. Started. Instructions. And then opportunities flunk open like water. Instructions. I was praying yesterday and thinking, and the Lord told me, pick up your phone.

Do so and so and so and so. I did apply it to the marketplace. And there I was, spontaneously sending proposals, doing different things. As in... As received, sending proposals, doing different things, writing it, drafting it, making it excellent, punishing it, getting the emails, emails, and instructed by God. There are times you will know your spirit are not excellent enough. What is keeping me here is that my excellence is not calling kings to me. And if I remain at this level, I will die in tightness. I must do something about my excellence. You are you getting what I'm trying say?

Yes, sir. Isaiah one verse 19, if you are willing and obedient... For someone in the academics, as a student, God can tell them, stop reading alone. Join a study group. That's why you are failing instructions. Say, you know, I just like I just like... But it's not working. Instructions. Sleep early. Stop night reading.

Wake up early to study afresh. Doesn't work for you. Instructions. For some, it is don't do what others are doing. For others, it is do what others are doing. Instructions. When David wore the garment of Saul and the sword of Saul to go and fight Goliath, thank God that he had wisdom to reject it. He said, I cannot bring down Goliath using somebody else's method. It is not Saul's sword that would take down Goliath. He went and picked five stones because that was what he was used to.

Many of you have been borrowing garment, collecting swords from people, whereas there was something god used and trained you. But you got to university and they told you, this is not a secondary school. If you read like this, that like that is how you have slayed the lion. It's how you have slayed the bear. And there are times through prophetic instruction, God tells you, this method will not work. Do this. Do that. Be be a sensitive believer. Be a discerning believer. Be able to tell when God is instructing you and flow with the move of the spirit.

Flow. Flow. God can give you study patterns, God can give you exam strategies, or even lead you to a mentor. Lead you... Go and meet that person to explain to you. Meet different people to explain to you, people who are doing very well. Apply for that opportunity. And you keep on ignoring that one. If I think you cannot get, apply for it. Instruction.

Say that. But I don't think I don't think I don't think instructions. Did you hear that young man testimony? The young man said he went to write the exam a year before, passed it, but wasn't selected. Instructions. The exam came and said, go and write it again. Go and write it again. You could have told yourself, actually, I wrote it last year. I passed it. They did not select me.

This... What is what... They didn't know what they want to select. And they came and they told him. So how come? How did I how did I get in? He said, because you passed last year. You are qualified. In other words, what looks as though it is over? The question is, if you had not written it again this year, would you have been qualified?

If you have been discouraged and you are stopped because you you you threw the stone once and ignored it. Empty your account. Sacrifice. At times you receive an amount of money, God tells you that is not yours. Empty it. Instructions that break you out of tightness. The time God tells you that relationship you are in, break it. It is draining you of purpose, draining you of destiny. Do you know that people carry atmospheres? People carry atmospheres.

And you're walking into an atmosphere and notice that everything starts going down. There is delay and there is stagnancy, and and you are praying one time and God just tells you, end that thing. End that friendship. Just pull away. Great distance. If it's a love relationship, stop it. Is wrong with this person. If it's a good person, it's a... Is it... It's your destiny or that person?

That's a prophetic instruction. It doesn't have to make sense. When the prophet told Laban to go and wash himself in the water, very different than that. Can you not just prophesy? Instructions. Instructions. Are you getting this, I'm telling you? Yes, sir. Number four, the force of strategic planning and wisdom. The force of what?

Strategic planning. And wisdom. True wisdom is a house built by understanding it established. By knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all the pressures and perilous riches. Tightness, listen to me, can be caused and can be sustained by the absence of wisdom. A man who is anointed but disorganized will live as though God has not spoken to him. Many people fast and pray, and they don't come out of tightness. They lack the intelligence, the systems, the strategy required to sustain abundance when it comes. So even if they momentarily break out of it, they end up back in the same place. Are you with me?

It was Joseph's strategic planning that broke him out of tightness. I hope you know. It wasn't because Joseph interpreted the dream of the king. What broke him out was he gave the king a plan, a strategy. He said if you want to sustain the wealth and abundance that comes in the seven years of riches, this is what must be done. That was what made the king now see who else will be able to do it if not the person who brought it. In other words, it was the solution that he brought that took him out of prison. Are you with me? Yes, sir. There are many people who refuse to plan their lives.

Wisdom and strategic planning is missing. In tight seasons, do you understand budgeting? Not every financial hardship is spiritual. Some are a result of poor money management. Do you give? Do you give? Do you understand giving, or are you a selfish individual praying for prosperity? Do you know how to track your income, track your expenditure, categorize your spending, cut out unnecessary drains? If they cut your coat according to your size, if you are building prosperity, you would learn to cut your coat less than your size. Seller, not with respect to what you can get, but with respect to what you buy with what you have.

You do not live according to how God has blessed you. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Just because I can afford it, because I'm not sure why it. In time seasons, in tight seasons, do you understand time management? Because your time is a seed. If you are wasting it, you are killing your harvest. Many sting tightness because they don't invest time in what produces fruit. Do you know how to manage your time? That's why you keep on failing. It's not because you are doing too much.

It is because you don't know time management. What is priority? What should I invest time in? What is unnecessary? You major on the minor and minor on the major. In tight seasons, do you understand skill acquisition? What is the next name was Lem? A three month training can open you up to three years of breakthrough. Setting priorities. All of these are wisdom, strategic planning and wisdom.

Are you with me? Yes. Disciplined execution. You cannot fast away what consistency and wisdom is meant to bring. Can't fast it away. You can't pray it away. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Do you know leadership? Do you know submission?

Do you understand people relationship? Do you know how to build relationship with people? Quality alliances and connections that matter in destiny. God will bless you through men. Through men. It means in those instances, learn how to relate with people. Learn it. Intentionally learn it. Do you know service? Do you know service?

I was talking to someone yesterday, and the person told me... The person said, there is no company that I would work for that will not consider me an eternal value. And I could agree with that the... What the person is saying is true because the person serves in this ministry, and the person is valuable, extremely valuable. I could tell you have given yourself to learning. You have given yourself to what now? Learning. And this is what brings abundance. Number five, the force of prayer. This is where we stop.

The reason why I said all of this because I wanted to instruct you. I didn't want you to just come and then we'll talk about prayer. It's easy to talk about prayer. I like talking about prayer because I like to pray. What will happen is that all of us will get excited. And we'll start... And it will happen now. The excitement is very important. But if you don't understand what you must do practically, even with the prayer, If you don't know what happens in the prayer, like as you are praying now, instructions will come. If you don't know, you won't be able to take advantage of even the prayer.

Do you understand what I'm sharing with you? Are you ready to pray? Yes, sir. The force of prayer. Psalm 77 verse two. Rise up on your feet. I need. Only you can satisfy me. Only you can give me pawning. Only you can satisfy my soul The bible says, give me KJV.

In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord. My sore ran the night and ceased not. My soul refused to be comforted. I was praying. I was groaning. When the womb of destiny is closed, listen to me, it is prayer that must force it open. Prayer is how believers legislate. It is how we insist on the performance of prophecy. Word have been spoken. Yes.

But prophecy is not self fulfilling. You perfect in prayers. First Timothy chapter one verse 18, the bible says, it was Paul speaking to Timothy. It says this charge I commit unto you. Son, Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you that thou by them might as war a good warfare. So if you feel as though there are prophetic words that should manifest and you know it is a time of the manifestation of this thing, what do you do? You war a good warfare. And what you do? You don't sit down expecting that apostle have spoken. God has said it.

God has said it. It it is time for it. Nothing would happen. Bible says, ask ye the lord for rain in the time of the rain. This thing always amazes me. It amazes me because you would expect that if it is the time of the rain, rain should fall. But, no, the bible says, ask the lord for rain in the time. The reason we ask is because we know it is the time. So if God tells you, your time of of lifting has come, your time for a shift has come, your time for expansion has come, what must you begin to do? The bible says, ask the Lord.

Ask the Lord. In first Kings 18 verse 41, Elijah gave a prophetic word, but the skies were still dry. It was Elijah that said, I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. But have he said that? There was no rain falling. There was no cloud. There was no wind. He didn't say, I've spoken. Let's wait and see. No.

He went up to Mount Carmel, bowed his face between his knees, and began to labor in prayers. He sent his servant six times. No result. But on the seventh time, a cloud the size of a man's hand appeared. Listen to me. Prophecy must be prayed into performance. Prophecy must be prayed into performance. It wasn't just the world that brought the rain. It was prayer that enforced it. Prayer.

Prayer. Are you ready to pray now? Jabez prayed. Hannah prayed. These men were in tightness. Jabez was in a tight place. Even his name meant sorrow, but he prayed. Hannah prayed, mocked for many years, but she prayed. Anna, these people lifted up their voice to pray. Peter was about to die, but he prayed.

But he prayed. Listen. Listen to me. Listen to me. This kind of prayer is not a prayer that you you keep quiet and you keep on... No. No. No. It's not gentle talking. No.

It is spiritual labor. It is groaning until something happens. The bible says as soon as Zion travels. It's a traveling that makes Zion give birth to prophecy. You are like a watchman. Hear me? You are like a watchman. The responsibility of a watchman is to watch over the prophecy that was spoken. You become a watchman over your own life. What has God said that must happen now?

It must... Listen. I I refuse that it must never be that God will say it is the time for so and so in my life, and it will not manifest. I refuse it. If God tells me that my ministry will expand, it must expand. I will stand as a watchman. I will insist. I will insist. Isaiah 62 and verse six, the bible says, I have set watchmen upon thy walls. They shall never hold their peace day or night.

Their responsibility is to watch, is to watch. Let me tell you. So what are you watching? You are watching what has God said. Is he in my life now? No. You begin to intercede. You begin to intercede. The bible says do not give God rest. Do not give God rest until he has done what he says he would do.

So it's not only a prayer we pray here or anytime somebody comes to home and lead prayer. No. It is something you insist in your personal place. As you leave this place, you open your prophecy book. What did God say to me? Either either by himself, through his word, through my prophet, what was spoken, what was prophesied, what word was declared. That is how you bet prophecies. Are you ready to bet something? Now is the time. Is the time.

I will give you just five minutes. Hold somebody, one person. Okay. Hold yourself in threes. Let's make it three. In threes and close the circle. Close it. Hear me? We will wait until we have strength. We'll wait until we have strength.

We'll wait until we have strength. Until we have strength. Until we have strength. We cover until we have form. We cover until we have formed. We cover until we have formed. Until we have formed. Until we behold until we have formed. Hear me. Hear me.

Amen. You hear me? You have not yet reached that that energy level where I can begin to prophesy over you. You hear me? You hear me? There are several sessions in this meeting that your word could have come to you. Is that not so? Those whose word is now are those that Evan has said, it is a time for a breakout. Listen. Listen.

Listen. Listen. There are many questions in this message where your work could have come. The people we have to address now are those that God has said, it is time. Enough is enough. If you are here like that, there is a way you will pray. Was it not Isaac that said, it shall come to pass in that day when you become restless. This is not how restless men pray. Can you hurt restlessness? Can you be restless?

Can you be restless in this prayer? I will not disappoint In Jesus name we have prayed. Let your amen be the loudest you can find. I hear a name like Bolahon Bolahon. Don't come out. Don't come out. Don't come out. Don't come out. The Lord said he's turning it around. Hear me?

Let your amen be the loudest you can find. For the bible says the breaker is come up before them. They have broken up. They have passed through the gate. And they are gone by it. And their king shall pass before them. And the Lord on the head of them. The breaker is come before them. The breaker is come before them. I declare and I decree.

As many as under the sound of my voice and there is an announcement of heaven over your life that your time, your time of breakout has come. I declare over you as many as are listening to me and everyone is saying, time is up. Time is up. Everyone is saying enough is enough. It is time to break through. It is time to break out. I declare. I stretch my hands over you, and I declare, break out now. Break out. Out.

Break out. Break Break out. Break out. Out. Out. Out. Hear me? Hear me? As many people are here struggling with visions that should manifest. Prophecies that should manifest.

And God has said the time is now. But you are not seeing it manifest. I come as an higher authority. I come with a rod of a higher... There are about 50 of them I'm seeing. About 50 of them I'm seeing under the sound of my voice. I come with a rod of a higher people, and I Your time is now. Your time is now. Your time is now. At the count of three, shout Jesus loud and clear.

Loud and clear. At the count of three, there are 50 of them I'm seeing. I'm seeing the number 50. Now. The lord is putting an hand to delay. The Lord wants to give you a push in your business. And within the next six months, you will see results in that business that you have not seen in six years. That people don't see in six years, at the count of three, shout Jesus wherever they are, wherever they are. One, two, Hear You hear me? Listen.

I came here insisting that there are results I must see in your life. I tell you, I have been burning my spirit since Wednesday. Please give me time. There are results I must see in your life. The bible says the hand of the lord came upon Elijah. The Bible says, Nehemiah was speaking. It says the king did everything I desired because the hand of God was upon me. The hand of God that makes men do what you desire, that compels men to favor you, that compels men to help you. The hand of God that comes upon a man, that compels men to lift you up. Not enough upon you now.

I'm seeing you handling big wealth. Big wealth. Big wealth. Ready? I'm seeing some some people here. 10 men and seven women. 10 men and seven women. I'm seeing it in my spirit. I'm seeing them holding bundles of money of different currencies.
