Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

This message is from believers equip, a meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network where the word of God is taught with practicality and believers are raised to reign in life. Join apostle Emmanuel as he walks us through the word of God. Psalms 32 and verse eight. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with my eye. Do not be like the horse or like the moo, which I have no understanding, which must be harnessed with beaten brutal. Hell, they will come near you. I will instruct you. Can you see this? This is God speaking.

I will instruct you. God desires to instruct you. God says, I will instruct you. God says, I will teach you in the way that you should go. God desires to instruct you. God desires to teach you and desires to do this in the way that you should go. I will guide you, he says, with my high. But he now says, do not be like the horse. The problem of the horse is understanding. It means when it comes to being led by God, the issue is not being led.

The issue is understanding. God said I will guide you, but don't be like the horse. And the problem that the horse has is understanding. It means a believer must have an understanding of how God leads so that a believer can enjoy the leadings of the spirit. The reason why leading is difficult for many people is because a lot of people have created how they want to be led. You don't create how you want to be led. You understand how he's leading. You didn't understand what I just said. So he says, I want to instruct you. I'm going to instruct you.

There's no problem with the instruction. There's no problem with the guiding. The problem is with your understanding. Do you know how I'm instructing you? Do you know how I'm guiding you? Do you know how I'm leading you with my eyes? Have you... Hey. How does he live with his eyes? How does he tell you go with his eyes?

And he has said nothing, but his eyes have said everything. That's why I said don't be like the horse. I told you this the first week I thought I studied this series. How that the believer is compared to the sheep. The sheep does not need a bridle. The sheep follow the instruction of the shepherd. So we said the Lord must be your shepherd. Do you remember this? Yes, sir. In first Corinthians chapter two and verse 16, my responsibility in this meeting is to show you, is to give you understanding.

This understanding is what wants to come now. Do you realize that he says, do not be like the us who have no understanding. In other words, your responsibility is to have understanding. It doesn't say I will give you understanding. It says have understanding. In first Corinthians two and verse 16, the bible says, for who has known the mind of the lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. So the believer has the mind of Christ. And because of this, if you have the mind of Christ, it suggests to you that you can know what Christ is thinking. You can know what the Lord is thinking.

The bible says we have. It doesn't say we will have. It's a present tense reality, but the believer has the mind of Christ. Can you say I have the mind of Christ? I have the mind of Christ. You see, understanding this is very key to what we wanna discuss right now. I have the mind of Christ. In Philippians two and verse five, it says, let this mind be in you. So it means that it's to find expression in you. What you have, find expression.

In being led by God, following the scripture, who can know the mind of the Lord enough to instruct him, but we have the mind of Christ. This tells you that the leadings of the spirit into prosperity, into greatness, into great things, into multiplication, into fruitfulness will not always be spectacular. You know why? Because you have the mind of Christ. Most leadings that are spectacular usually are external. The leadings of the Lord into prosperity and greatness will most times be internal because you have the mind of Christ. You'll understand this. Stay with me. People who do great things are not the ones with the most spectacular experiences. Dreams and visions are one of the ways that God communicates to us, but understanding how God leads you from his word and from inside of you is superior and greater to any vision that you might have.

And this is what I want to show you. You see, sometimes the leading of God can look so ordinary that you miss out on the supernatural nature of it. I thought you how that they are the sensation of the human spirit. There's also what is called the voice of the human spirit. The voice of the human spirit is not noncognitive. As the word implies, voice, it means he's speaking. There is a sensation which we discussed last time. Is that not so? And the knowings. But there's also the voice, which is the cognitive speaking of the human spirit.

It means the human spirit does not only have the ability to impress sensations in you. It also has the ability to communicate to you through the faculty of your mind. Stay with me. This voice speaks through your thoughts. It speaks through your imaginations. It comes like an ordinary thought, like an inspiration, like an idea. This... The mind is the canvas of the communication of your human spirit. And whatever the human spirit says to you is as it receives from the holy spirit. So it is safe to say that one of the ways the holy spirit speaks to you is through your mind.

And everything that happens in your mind, all the faculties of the mind are ways that the holy spirit deploys in speaking to you. And remember I told you that this is the primary way the believer will be led. I want to explain to you in practical terms what I'm saying, but you will get it. The mind is the canvas of the communications of the spirit. The mind. Somebody say the mind. Mind. That is the canvas of the communications of the spirit. So it means that most of the thoughts that will arise from the mind of the believer who is consecrated to God is actually God leading the believer. And the holy spirit, when you know the word of God, you will realize that the holy spirit does not speak to you in third person singular.

It speaks to you in first person singular. In other words, it speaks to you as though you are the one thinking the thought. That's also how demons speak to you. Demons must say go and kill yourself. No. The way you would think it is I want to kill myself is a demon that is speaking. Are you with me? Yes, sir. That's the way the holy spirit is able to move the believer because he moves the believer as though he's himself is moving. So when the bible says the holy spirit moved Jesus, he led Jesus into the wilderness, the holy spirit does so in first person singular.

And it makes sense when you think about the scripture that the mind of Christ is in you. If the mind of Christ is in you, it means you are capable of thinking the thought of Christ. I won't go ahead of myself. Many people think that something is wrong with them when they don't have spectacular experiences. But you don't need to have spectacular experiences. If it's available to you, glory to God. But many of the speakings of God to you will not be spectacular. Most times in the midst of problems or challenges, God is saying something to you, but you cannot see it. How did the freedom awakening start? We finished praying in Jago years ago, 2019.

As we're going, I just saw some people working. I said, who are those? Did they have pressures? So they just entered into UI. Let's have a meeting for pressures. That's I started. No vision, no trance, no dream. But was it God? That's why you are here. So it's God.

Are you with me? If there was nothing spectacular about it, we were just walking and we saw. And I said, oh, are those precious? He said, yes. He just came to UI. Let's have a meeting for precious. Let's have a meeting for precious. What do you think about it? That's a good idea, sir. Let's plan it.

Why don't we hold it Saturday? We're talking maybe on on on Monday or so. On Sunday, Monday, thereabout. That means we had six days to plan meeting you have never heard before. Yes. In 2019, I will plan it so well, nine people or 10 people came. Is God not good? The fact that it was not big, it was not good. That's why there's there's what is called staying true. You will stay true until the weight of what you receive from God manifest in time.

It can come, and when it comes, it begins as a seed, but it will eventually grow. It will eventually grow to a point where somebody will look at his hostel and say, realize that he's the only one left. He said, where did everybody go? He said, he don't do his. Yeah. Let me follow them there. That was what came then, but it's not manifesting. Yes, sir. The fact that it's not manifesting did not make us doubt it was God that spoke. Imagine imagine if we had the the...

If we had received it. You know what many of many of you do? Say, ah, this idea that came to me, you know should not. Let's go and pray about it. We'll now spend two years praying. And God will say, you have the mind of Christ in you. You can own. When we got our first venue in Abatina, that was temporarily ours. How did they come? We've been using the venue.

We've been using the venue, and we're using it with another church. In fact, several churches are using the place. Tutorials are using the place. So we had to come the night before and, you know, do decorations, park again. Sometimes the morning, the church will use to come. Like, I messed up something. And my people were, oh my god. Can you put your hands together from the workers? I believe I believe I believe that Disciples Christian Network is blessed with the best set of workforce anybody can ever have. I believe so.

Listen. I'm not saying this to make anybody's head this way. I'm very careful with my words. People that know me know this. I'm saying this because it is fact. Yes. When will I... When I look at the things we have done and how we're able to do it, it's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing.

But we thank God. How did the venue come? So we were using that venue, and people would come every Friday night to do the courage overnight, set up, and we'll do full decoration. And by full decoration, I mean, we'll cover the entire classroom with clothes designed on the wall like that even though it was somehow, but we still thank God. Glory to God. We are making some pictures and videos available to tell you of how it started. You watched on Sunday like a documentary. So many of you would see how it started, and we just thank god for how it has been because you have five years this this week. Listen. Now I was strolling and strolling.

I was just strolling. And they told us that wind came and uprooted the roof of one of the buildings in that school, took away the roof, and all the classes that were holding there could no longer hold there. And we've always known, but you know it never came to my mind. The one why it never came to my mind because I was hearing... I was waiting for a supernatural voice. Guess what? Whilst this uprooting uprooted, what... Guess what we were doing? I sent people to go and be looking for auditoriums outside of UI. And in '19 when we were still meeting in classroom, we found auditorium, and the total is 1,000,000 naira.

And offerings of 11,000 naira, 12,000 naira, he said, I'm... They're moving in faith. I called people together. I say, you know what? They are raising 1,000,000 naira. And we tried to raise 1,000,000 naira for six months. How many naira had no risk? Even 10,000 naira had no risk. I even died for. That's how the the the the place went.

By the beginning of the year, I think it was around January or so, we just came, and I was working. We came for a workhouse meeting, and was working. And that that roof had collapsed.. It is since it collapsed that God has been speaking, but wanted spectacular. No way prophesying that one millionaire. We... I followed them to one inspect the auditorium. We said this is it. Sir. We got there.

We said, wherever the soul of our future step. I saw the offices. I saw... I said,. We we we call seven days fasting and prayer meeting. I was calling to Abadina every night to come and pray that one millionaire comes. And God said, see roof now. See roof, but we're not seeing roof. So I was just walking one day, and I just saw I just saw the classroom, and I saw this this people and this people have been deserted since over six months now. I just...

Can't we just fix this place and use this place? And I went to go and check for the biggest there. I saw the biggest classroom. Check how many place can these people sit. I use my highest capillaries. 100. I was not seeing any vision. What happened in my mind? I said, like like, one, two, three, four, five, six. I use my leg to do arrangement of chairs.

One, two, three, four. And I 100 people can sit down here. I just called one of my guys. Go and meet the proprietor of this school. Tell them we want to refurbish this classroom, and I will be the only ones using it. So what did they do? I agree.. Are they using it for anything before? So... Unless they have the the the capitated thinking.

So when we leave, we will we will remove the roof back. Now this was January. Experience was to resume two weeks in two weeks' time. In two weeks' time. Experience was to resume. And we were doing this, and she she went there and the... They they said, what what are... Chicken. They were having chicken in the place. When the roof went, they could no longer rear the chicken again.

So when I got there, there was chicken poo poo everywhere. And God said, this is this is the place. He did not say this is the play in a vision. He said it out of that. Is the place now because I had the mind of Christ. Yes, sir. I'm making it this simple so that you will... So that... You see, when so I come and say, God said this is the place, you will now be thinking apostles saw a vision. The angel came from the third heaven and now pointed at Bajina and say, see here.

But we have the mind of Christ. Even if we can think the thought of Christ. And in that, Christ is leading us. And they agreed. Do you know... The moment they agreed, we needed about 500,000 or 600,000 naira to fix that place up. It came in one week. We've been looking for 1,000,000 for... You better be late. It came...

How many people remember this? Tell them to everybody remember this. It came in one week. In fact, one week and a few days because the money just kept on coming. The first... We we need to repair roof. How much? 70,000 naira. We repaired the roof finish. Okay.

I don't like this. Let's do PVC everywhere. How much is PVC? One get a carpenter. How much? $12,000 naira. There's no money. Came like that. How much is drapes of curtains? Let's beautify this place.

How much is rug? Let's rock this entire place. How much is 3 d whatever? When wallpaper... When people... They could not believe that that was a vagina. Nobody believed it. Every pastor that came that... Pastor friend of mine will first stand and say, were televisions that we had there, all of it in two weeks. The meeting was to start.

We've already printed flyer. In fact, we started that week. The first... The week, the meeting was to start. I postponed the meeting. I'm under pressure. Postpone the meeting. Somebody will say, but, sir, it is in script... I will show you in scriptures. Calm down.

You know me. Many people have been cheated. You have allowed delay in your life because you have no... You don't understand. You are like you are like the horse that has no understanding. You have allowed delay. The... You inspirations have come. God has led you since 2016. You said let me...

You are still praying, waiting for confirmation. The confirmation you are waiting for is so that when the sun and the moon will collide. Say, God, God, give me a sign if it is you. We did everything, postponed the meeting by one week. By by the time the meeting resumed, everyone that came could not believe it. Do you know that many... How... What was the sign that we were led? Do you know the sign? In the building we refurbished, the building by the side, the roof was still off.

The one by the side, the roof was still off. Several churches came to the school to ask for those two places. They never give them till we left. Including close pastor friend of mine. They asked me how did we do it? I want to go and meet them. No. He said, we met them with no answer. I said, I don't know. So were we led?

Did we receive any visions, any trances? Some people think like GPS. You know that GPS icon. You know that? That's it. You now see it. Bam. Boom. It's just drop on the house. Yes.

This is it. Spirituality is not in the number of visions you see. Abraham lived for one hundred and seventy five years. How many visions did you think Abraham had that God manifested and appeared to him? Go and count it. Are you with me? Go and count it. It was not up to 12 or 15 thereabout. And at every point in time, Abraham needed to be directed because God not tell him where he was going. So imagine Abraham was waiting for vision every time.

They are not getting what that's saying. If if there were many times Abraham got on and say, this looks good. God is the one that led him there. Don't look for anything spectacular. God appeared to Isaac and told Isaac not to go to Egypt. After them, when did you hear that God appeared to Isaac again? So how how did Isaac know that you should plant in the land? God never had sow in the land. The bible said, and Isaac sowed in the land. How did he know he's to sow?

The old... The only thing God told him was, don't go to Egypt. Next thing, and Isaac sowed in the land. Guess what happened? And he ripped a hundredfold. And he ripped a hundredfold. A proof he was led. How was he led? See, guys, God said we should not go to Egypt. That means that any...

Anything we do here will grow. But start the sermon. God said we should not go to Egypt. So we don't now wait and say, God, what's the next thing now? We food. No. No. No. We have start cleaning the ground. Where are the where are the seeds?

Where are the... Start planting. God was saying, yes. That's it. That's it. And yet they were being led. There is an intelligence that springs out of an encounter that many people can trap and begin to direct the course of their life out of that intelligence without having any encounter again. Most times when you find yourself thinking so naturally forward, it's the only spirit speaking to you. I was praying at the beginning of the year. And as I was praying, it just came to my mind.

It's time to go to universities. It's time to go to universities. I said, k. It's fine. I wrote it down. Time to go to universities. To my workers, god said it is time to go to university. How did it come? It came as a thought in my mind. What did we do?

We deployed a committee. We deployed a committee. Go and check which which university do we have access to. Who do we know in which university? Which of my spirit children are in anywhere that that have positions in places of power that we can use and leverage on the influence to come there following the instruction of the holy spirit? Go and check. And then they came. They brought me schools where people are following me. I said, okay. Go and start working on this course.

I met with the young man. Young man told me, sir, I I know someone here. I know someone here. Connected the young man to a member of the committee. This man knows somebody. Work with him. And they say, oh, sir, we've we've we've been able to speak with the GCF president of the of this school. We've been able to speak to the GCF president of this school of this school, fellow president of this place. This another one, president.. Okay.

Alright. Alright. Alright. How many is positive? And I say, yes. University of Ghana. University of Abuja. Say, god, we don't know anybody. Say, I'm moving by faith. I'm moving by faith.

Listen. Listen. Do you know that when Abraham sent Abraham sent his his servant to go and look for a wife for Isaac? The moment Abraham sent him, Abraham sent him under covenant because Abraham blessed him as he went. Blessed him as he went. The bible says, Abraham's servant's testimony was high being in the way. The Lord led me. He didn't say high sitting at home waiting for God to lead me. Abraham's servant said, hi. Being in the way, I left my house and I started working, and God started leading.

It means if it is not God's will as I'm thinking it, there will be a restriction in your heart immediately because God will not allow you to miss it. When they were bringing the schools to me, two schools gave us the go ahead at first view, and they told me about the second view, the second school. The moment they just told me about it, they'll be okay. I even announced the second school. I now... I announced two schools. Is that not? As I went back home, I was just thinking about this. I just felt the restriction. I didn't see any vision.

I didn't... Immediately, I told the the planning committee, we're not going here. Why? I don't know. Are you with me? Hi. Being in the way, the lord led me. I told young man, I don't have the leading to go there. I heard something and say, dude, you must not go. Or a vision, and I say a mighty rock standing before me, and go ahead.

This way you are going is not good. No. It don't have to be spectacular. It only has to be God. And if it is God, you will know that it can... The the primary way by which it will come is internally. Stay with me. Stay with me. So what we are doing is we are thinking naturally forward. It's the mystery of the conjoined spirit.

First Corinthians six and verse 17. The bible says, but he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit within. Is this in your bible? This is the mystery of the conjoined spirit. Your spirit is one with the spirit of God. So many of the thoughts you are thinking are inspired by the spirit of God. Your spirit is not independent. It is one with the spirit of God. So the thoughts that the spirit... That that your spirit is passing your thoughts are the thoughts of the holy spirit.

Are you with me? In John chapter 14 verse 26, look at what the bible says. The bible says, but the helper, the holy spirit, whom the father will send in my name, watch this, he will teach you all things. How will he teach you all things? The word hand there in the Greek is the word that is. And it means that is bring to your memory. That's what I will teach you. It will bring to your memory. Where's your memory? It means the things that come to your memory is the holy ghost teaching you.

It's the holy ghost teaching you. There are many of you, if you close your eyes and pray about anything, an idea will drop. But you feel like, I I can't be this easy now. Or you feel there's a problem. Some of you feel is one of pray about something that is very, very big. You... It has to take you twenty one days before you get the answer. Whereas, you have gained mileage in the spirit. You have stretched in the spirit. So when you pray for an hour, ideas start dropping like lightning.

This same thing would have taken you twenty one days when you first started because you are still you are still dumping. Your your thoughts have been invaded by canal thoughts. So you can't even tell the... As you are... As the spirit is bringing thoughts, there are all kinds of thoughts. But as you begin to pray and stretch yourself, you are getting mileage in the spirit. You are purifying that space. That medium, that canvas is being cleaned like an eraser. Are you with me? And it it comes to a point where you get to an height.

You start thinking the thoughts of God. Go and count how many times master Jesus had spectacular encounters. Encounted. When he was baptized, angels came and ministered to him, holiness. After that, was transfigured. Yes. Then a voice came and said, this is my beloved son again. In Uma Mo, please hear he him. And Oligos came and descended him. Right?

Yes. What else? That's what I said. Speak loud. Speak loud. Yeah. Transfiguration. Right? That's transfiguration. We've we've spoken about that.

Yes. A... That's... A voice came. I've said that already. Angels came, I've said that. Angels came, I'm minister. I've said that already. It's still for... All of the things you are saying is still inside this form.

Are you with me? I counted and I counted. You you go and look for it. There are about six of it or seven in three and a half years of ministry. So how were the other ones coming? How were the other ones coming? You know that the moment Jesus... Imagine... Many of us, we... The the fact that we like to be spooky has become our own doing.

We don't want to be spooky. Last time now, I said, Jesus, the holy ghost can tell you what close to be. Somebody is now waiting like this. It's the holy ghost. Why am I not experiencing the holy ghost? Apostle, what have you done? You pick that clothes. You like the... That's the Oligo stocking. That's all.

You see, when you when you wore down that one when you wore down that one and you were going out and you were checking your breath and your feet... That's the people saying, don't wait. You know. You know. You know. You felt uncomfortable. You you know that. The guy is not talking to you, and I say, hey. And so,. You are saying, apostle, it's because I don't want the guy to be rather...

Why did you wear it in the bus system? So when you are doing all your muscle ups, where will the guy be looking at? When you were five... Feeling uncomfortable, it was the only go say, sister, sister, sister, sister, Save sister. His soul to the... Don't damage one. Yes. There are people that will wear jeans like I'm wearing right now, and they will feel uncomfortable wearing it. It's not a doctrine. It might be based on the ministry that they have, based on the assignment God has called them to, based on even the culture they find themselves, based on several things.

You just feel, I shouldn't I shouldn't do this. Not because they sin, but because you know in your spirit that you should not. You will know. Doesn't mean you will hear a voice. Doesn't mean you will have an encounter or see a vision. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Jesus said, for this cause was I born, and for this hand, I came into the world. Jesus said the son of man came to seek and to save the lost house of Israel. Those are the things he said about himself. Jesus said the spirit of the lord is upon me.

He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive, recovery of sight to the blind, proclaim liberty to the captive. These were the things Jesus said about himself. By the... By reason of the things Jesus knew about his life, he knew the borders of his ministry. So whilst he was on earth, he knew that the son of man is sent to seek and to save the lost of the the lost sheep of Israel. So he knew by encounter that the border of his ministry whilst he was on earth was to the Jews. Did he need a leading to go to the Jews? It means you can move based on what you know about your life as revealed by God, and it is God. So Jesus did not have to wait to go to the synagogue.

Those are the people he sent to. Do you understand what I'm saying? Sir. Sir. It did not... There there there is no heavenly encounter that will say arise now. Organize a crusade. By reading of what he knew about his life, crusade can start planning. Conference, let's start planning conferences. Let's start planning crusades.

Let's start plan... By reading of what he now knows. When he dispatched the disciples, what did he tell them? He said, go and cast out Demos. Go and do... But do not leave the confines of Jerusalem. That was based on what he knew. Are you with me? So when he meets, the bible says, I've come to preach the gospel to the poor. Recovery of sight to the brokenhearted.

Heal them that are oppressed. If that is the case. So when Jesus meet an oppressed person, you must say, God, what is your will? Based on what he knew about his purpose as revealed in the encounter that he had with God, he can begin to make decisions from that, and it is God leaving him. It's not so spooky. Are you with me? He took steps in that direction. He didn't have to wait for a spectacular instruction to go to the synagogue or to organize crusades and conferences. Jesus went to where crowds were, and he packed all of them. The moment crowds gathered, it is a wait for us.

Let me tell you, God want me to preach today. You see, a value us men of God. That is how we make it seem. We make it... We make the ladies of the spirit seem so out of touch that the believer feel as though this thing is out of place for me. This thing is out of place for me. There is what you know about your life. You can begin to take steps in that direction. There's encounters of destiny that has painted pictures of your life from God's word to you. The thoughts that you begin to have in that direction henceforth are from God.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, sir. You see yourself, for instance, as a top researcher in academia. God has shown this to you. Then you start making direct decisions based on what you already know. Don't say, god, now what is the next step? Look for opportunities in that direction. God will not actually tell you, go and take that conference. Go to that conference. They have paid for it.

No. You move as you are led based on what you already know, and yet it is god moving you. Why? But we have the mind of Christ. You must have a settled knowledge. A settled knowledge. Are you with me? A settled knowledge. Oh, God has called me. I've seen myself in a vision.

And what I saw was I have a ministry. I have a ministry of my own. Wow, sir. I've seen it. I'm I'm preaching to people. I'm standing in front of a crusade ground, and I'm stretching my arms, and the slave is getting healed, and all kinds of things are happening. Oh, glory to God. But, sir, I don't know what else to do. Fine. But what has the bible told me to do?

It says, we all have a ministry of reconciliation. If this time you have followed them that believe, in my name, they will cast out devils. They will speak with new tongues. Is that not so? They will pick up serpents. It would not hurt them. The bible says, for this cause, Israel ascended is also the one that descended, and he gave gifts unto men. He gave some apostles, teachers, prophets, pastors for the equipping of the saints, for the work of ministry. So whilst you are waiting for what to do like we call it, do the one bible thing should do. Equip the saints.

Go for evangelism. Pray. Are you with me? That is God leading you. You don't say, I'm just sitting down. I know I know God has called me. I'm just sitting down. I'm just sitting down. I know I'm I'm getting trained. I'm getting trained, and I'm sitting down.

Oga, join the workforce. Put your service to use. Go ask evangelism. Join people. When you are praying for the sick, put your hands there. Invite someone. Go ask evangelism. Tell someone about church. The bible says, if you are faithful in another man's business, then you will be given your own. So you say, okay.

I know God has called me to start something that is mine. But now he has put me in that position in another man's. My assignment is faithfulness. That is God leading you. So I will carry it on my head as though it's my own. As though it's my own. While I'm going... While I'm group of evangelism, I'm getting experience. As I'm talking to people, come to DCM. You know what God will do for you?

And I'm preaching to souls, getting souls saved, healing the sick. I'm gaining experience so that when God now deploys me, I know how it is done. I don't sit down for for five years, six years and waste away destiny. And now say, I'm still waiting for God to... People have become 45 years old, and they are still ignorant. They've they've made no steps, made no move, done nothing. On account of the fact that we are still waiting on God. Is that how slow God speaks? So God, God who said the king's business requires is, will just allow you to be wasting time and say, I don't wanna speak to you yet. I'm just there.

Just there. Go and write research papers. I don't... Go and go for your masters. Search for opportunities. There is a competition happening in Washington DC, and they are picking 10 participants in every nation. And everybody will come and defend a particular fight they've done. And this is... You you claim to be a a a a a a a... Someone call into academia.

You claim to be someone who will practice what you are studying, and you have seen the opportunity. You don't need a special leading to tell you apply. That is a step in the direction of your purpose. Are you with me? You say I'm a public speaker. I'm a public speaker. I I don't have a leading that God will... What are the steps I must be able to take right now in in in following what I already know about my destiny? I, being in the way, the Lord led me. What are the things I will start doing right now?

Okay. I heard there's a literary and debating club in my hostel, in my department. It's okay. I'm still growing. Let me sharpen myself. Let me sharpen my speech. Let me sharpen my understanding. Whilst I'm doing that, I see a YouTube pop up, and I see someone saying, oh, come and learn how to speak and sharpen your oratory. And then I take the course. I see how to gesticulate, how to...

Before you claim to be a public speaker, or you will stand on one spot and be speaking. Now you are learning the person saying your state management matters. You must communicate to your audience. Look at their faces. You are learning. You're saying, okay. Next time you go and speak, you are learning something. That is a step in direction of purpose. It is god leading you. It is god leading you.

My time. My time. My time. Oh, Jesus. Somebody shows you a grant a grant offer for your business. You say, ah, should I be taking grants right now? What else should you be doing? What else should you be doing? Regardless of whatever you think you should be doing right now, Glory to god. You know why?

Because even if a businessman, you will learn marketing. Because you will have to you will have to speak to people. You you will have to you will sit down with contract. You will you will negotiate deals. You will con... To go and learn how to convince people to follow Christ so that you will learn how to con... Freedom to follow your business. You said you said, I'm waiting for the next step. That's the next step. Go and start.

Go and start. And you you are no longer afraid of anybody again. Your your heart your heart is now you. That fear of health, the fear of people, the fear of clinical, the fear, it will delay you in purpose. So when you see the next person going for, can I join you? Follow. You are you are doing... You don't need anything. The mind of Christ in you. You are taking steps of destiny, and it is God leading you.

Are you with me? And it is God leading you. Psalms 37 verse 23. The Bible says, the steps of a good man. Give me energy. Yes. One two three. Go. The what? The what?

Direct the what? Steps. Now now think about it. Steps. Steps means every step you take, every decision you make, everything you do. How does the Lord direct it? Will the Lord be speaking from heaven? Go to class this morning. After all, this is every step. It means every step you take in the direction of purpose is Lord directing you, including the one to come here tonight.

Yeah. Including the one that led you here when you came to school. Including the one that your friend invited you and you came. It was the Lord directing your path. Listen. The Bible says, the Lord delights in every detail of your life. Jesus Christ. I don't I don't have time. Glory to God. Many believers wanna be like Thomas in John chapter 20 and verse 27.

Jesus came back to Thomas and told Thomas to dip his hands into... Dip his fingers into the holes in his hand and and Thomas dipped his fingers there. Look at this. Why did Jesus do this? He says, do not be home believing, but Believe. Believing. In other words, Thomas said, I'm I'm not gonna believe. Look at the next verse. And Thomas answered said to him, my Lord and my God. In other words, when I dipped my hand...

When I dipped my finger into your hand, I didn't realize that you are my Lord and my God. They told me that you are my Lord and my God. I told them I will not believe. When I now dip my hand into it and I said, my Lord and my God. Look at Jesus' response. You think he's also be impressed. You thought that him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed. But blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. How did you come to believe Jesus? Did you see him?

So how do you think that you will see him when he's leading you? The bible says, as you have received him, walk ye in him. Did you receive him by seeing him? How did you receive him? You received him by faith. That is how you work in him. As you have received him. Oh god. I have many scriptures to show you. Just calm down.

Who would dispel myths and rumors and lies. There are many pleadings that will come through your thoughts. Therefore, your mind must be sanctified. You can't afford to think nonsense. When nothing comes to your mind, rebuke that thought and meditate on scriptures. You know how you know you are thinking nonsense because the holy ghost is leading you. If the Holy Ghost were not in you, you won't consider it nonsense. It will just be a thought. So the fact that you can now identify that, ah, suppose I should not be thinking this image of the book has begun work. It's the first sign you need to know that, okay, there's a life on your inside that is not that comfortable with your thought pattern.

So because of the way you have grown up, now you have you have watched all kind of movies, you have done all kind of things, you have received all kind of lectures, you have re... All kind of rumors. So that when you now start receiving the life of Christ, it's it's not difficult for you to think the way God wants you to think. Because loudly speaking, think nonsense. But the fact that you know this is nonsense is deliverance. If you can know this is nonsense, you can know which is not nonsense. The problem is that you you doubt. You don't have trust. You doubt. There's all kind of doubts.

And that doubt cloud cloud your belief, cloud your thinking, clouds everything. So you are you are unsure of the next step to take. The bible says he's interested in everything. Will he leave you? He says I will never leave you nor forsake you. It means even if you are in error, even if you make a mistake, it will still pull you out. Are you with me? That's the trust you have. Many of the ladies of God, that's why they will come as normal. You know why they will come as normal?

Because the mind of Christ is in you. So it will look as though a minimal role. So you will not think it's supernatural. It will be normal to you. That's... The believer's life is actually a normal life. I read a book I was growing up in in in Christ, the normal Christian life. How that the Are you with me? One of my daughters told me something. She said, it came to our mind to reduce the price of our product.

Question. Question. No. Question. Yeah. Give her a microphone. Is this not noted as if? The last one, it did not it did not know as safe. Give her the microphone first. I wanna I wanna get something.

You had a conversation together. She wasn't... Right? You had a conversation about your business? Yes, sir. And the complaints begin to happen in your mind. Right? Tell me. Tell her. Tell us about it.

Yes, sir. It it actually came to my mind. It has been coming. And I mean How has it been coming? Let... Let's let's be detailed. Okay, sir. It's... It just came to my mind that if you reduce this... The price of this thing, people will buy more.

And I've sought for advice and counsel, business counsel from people, and they said the same thing. And I had attended a conference to the same thing. So I'm like, ah, so this thing has to be good. So I I now decided to take it up, but then I fought it in my mind. But I Why did you fight it? Yeah. I was I I was thinking that, okay. If I reduce the price, then that means I have to change several things about it. And So how did that... How was that solved?

Okay. I was able to think you through. I sat down. Sat down. Just calm down. You see, you have used a word that is in my teaching. There is a difference between think about and think through. She just borrowed the word from my teacher. Father's daughter. Many people think about, but don't think through.

I'm not... You see, one, you wanna take me ahead of my... I will not go ahead of myself. Seat. Let... Let's let's stay let's stay let's stay where we are. Okay, sir. So after the thoughts, I now concluded in my mind that this thing The thought was with calculations that were done. Yes. I I did a lot, sir.

You showed me the calculation. Book was full. So Was was it... Were you... Was it God that was showing you a vision from heaven of calculations? There was no vision. You you were thinking. I... It was through my thoughts. Thinking.

So what happened immediately immediately you made that adjustment and rebranded? My god. My god. It was a blow, sir. That... That's what... It's my god. That... That's what happened. Now was she late?

She sat down with calculating things. Because because because he has the mind of Christ, which can pick the thoughts of God. God can... You can pick it. You can say, the I'm way going about this business right now, I want this thing to work. Most times, they are stubborn. You see the problem now. So now she will pick that thought. She... God has been speaking to her in different ways.

You see, I will lead you by by my eyes. So when she went for the conference, God did like this. You guys. Are. Say, but don't be like the horse. Don't be like the moon. You have no understanding. So now she has gotten this... We do this thing, but it came to our mind. And I said, god, if it's you if it's you, let the clients come tomorrow that will order for 1,000 packs.

And the the customer will not now come. And I say, I knew it. But it it it... It'll not come again because it's... It will be impressed on your spirit again before it dies. Eventually, it will die. That's the nature of the of of the speakings of God. It will die. You see, you can be walking in a place, and God starts drawing your attention somewhere else. Don't wait until they sack you.

Because when they sack you, you'll be too destabilized to even hear God. So whilst you're working there, you you have been okay, but you can just feel... You like the place even. But I can just feel as though, ah, my time is home. I just feel as though be... Immediately start looking for opportunities. Don't say, god will not show me. The fact that you have had the encounter that tells you your time is up, start taking steps in that direction. It is god leading you. Many people have put themselves inside self imposed delay.

Not the word self imposed delay on guys of teachings, on guys of process and dealings. Some of you, it will come to you. Let me get a job while I'm in school. I mean, I can do something. Then watch that thinking. Somebody tells you about an opportunity, and the person says, you even have the skills we are looking for. Yeah. What? And the thing is legit. Not any kind of four one nine nonsense.

A job... A reasonable paying job, you perform a service, and then they pay you. You don't bring money and you double it. Do you understand what I'm saying? You are deploying your skills and services, and then they pay you for it. And then you even have the requirements you are looking for. I mean, you you pass you pass well in in in in whole levels. Right? And when this is a teaching job, just for now, whilst you are still trusting God for the next thing. Are you with me?

That is an opportunity that came to you. You jump into the floor. If the holy spirit doesn't want you to go, you will have the restriction on your spirit. I have been in the way the Lord led me. Are you with me? Some of you, let me just learn this skill. You just be a thought. I'm not sure if it's the holy spirit. The devil does not want you to prosper. The devil will not...

The devil will give you reasons why you should not learn it. Let me let me learn software development. I mean, I have a laptop. What am I doing with the laptop? I only watch movies every day. Let me let me get... Let let me learn something. And then I download courses, pay for a course on Udemy, get a good course, watch the... Don't I just go on Udemy and get the first course or I'm waiting for god to leave it to which course I will get. It's foolishness.

Every course has intro. I watch all the courses. Which teacher speaks my language? I don't go and down... Buy a course. You see, we have design course. The person that comes, you know, bam. Play for it. You now stay down and be stuck for one year. Whereas, there's a simpler person, if only you are just scrolled now and engage your brain.

Just scroll down small. Engage your brain. Watch the intro. One minute. That's too complex for me. Go to the next one. This is simple enough to me... For me. That's god leading you. That's god leading you.

Are you with me? As you learn the development, then you start working for an agency. You say I'm working for an agency is good. Working as a freelancer is even good. But let me have my own business. What can I do to have my own business? I mean, I have the skill already. It's close to my mind. I'm building it last year. I mean, last month, I built a...

An ecommerce website for a client, and client paid me 200,000. Last month, I I built another ecommerce website. Instead of building ecommerce website for people, why don't I hold one myself? I'm thinking, okay. What can I sell? One day, how... The the court comes, leave it there. You don't know what yet. Leave it there. God, new prayer.

You go to one time to go and buy the call. They call. They give you choir uniform, and you don't have it. So you go and buy one in to the market. And as you get there, you see the crowd into the market. And everybody comes to come and buy, bend down, select, drift, and you're and you're also among them. And as you are there struggling for which one will fit you, it just comes to your mind that, why don't you have an online store for thrifts? People can buy things that are this cheap but online and have it delivered to them. Instead of designer things that are very expensive, I know how the cheapest things that people come all the way here. What if you don't have to come here?

What we can always check online, have it ironed, have it pressed, have it delivered, have it washed even, have it delivered, no on the floor, not dirty. And this is just a thrift store. Now you're thinking, say, can do this. I can do this. While you're just praying and thinking about this, okay. Now I don't even know what name should I call it. You hear some people's names. Just don't you want to prosper? What is this? Kingdom of God, plan not and peace.

I mean, you have the mind of Christ. You you sit down and think. I wanna I wanna I wanna appeal to everybody for kind of love. My name does not have to be spoken. I may pick a name that is global in nature, that is everybody yells at one and... And, at at the first instance of it. I mean, Disciples Christian Network. I mean, it's coming to your mind. You're you're thinking about it. You're taking steps.

Even even if you don't have the skill for it and it comes to your mind. Let me let me hold a thrift store online. I don't have to hold this. I don't have to have the skill for it. The idea is mine. I can meet someone who has the skill for it. How much would it cost to help me build this website? Register the business name as mine. Sign an NDA contract so that the young man does not steal your idea because he has a skill. Please don't.

Are you with me? And then before you know, you process everything in three months, in four months, you have started, you have gotten the first order. How much do need to get started? You buy a domain name, you buy a hosting name, you have lent everything, you've done everything. In three months, you have started. You put it out there. Spend some amount of money in marketing your business. An online trip store in Hippodom. Hand your journey to the market. We deliver right to your doorstep.

Why do you have to go when we can go for you? We have just what fits. And then you... Inspirations are coming. You are you are thinking you are thinking your mind is the mind of Christ. It's the mind of Christ. You put it out there. Spend some money. Tell your friends about it. Tell everybody about it.

And before you know, you're a millionaire. The business grows. After three years, you sell it to one American company for $1,000,000. Someone must see that. That's why you should pray before you come to meetings. So that you will know your advice. The moment you pick up signals like that, erect structures immediately that will ensure you keep on going and never step back because a temptation is to start and to stop. You know this is a possibility. There are many things you have attempted to start before, and then you got the inspiration from God. And as you continued, you don't even know why you stopped.

You just stopped. It means wisdom should now tell you that when I get these things, I should build a structure around it to ensure that that structure keeps me continuing. It keeps me consistent. Are you with me? Yes, sir. You put structures in place that makes you start moving and never stop moving. The idea to put mentors to disciple people did not come in a vision. I will be the name of the ministry. I will wait for three years. You don't start ministry because you're waiting for name.

Because you are waiting for name. Oh, yeah. You have not seen the name. Give it your name. Isaac Olanco Ministry. Ministry has started. David Ministries. Beni Ministries. You don't have name. Your your name is not name.

Ministry is... Don't stop stop... Don't delay yourself for for for foolish reasons. I pray you believe what I'm telling you. Yes, sir. There are times you start praying. And as you are praying, your heart just gets big to be able to say what you have never said before. As you are praying, I just declare all of a sudden. I'm... Have a branch in Lagos.

I have a branch now. Hey. Listen. That's god leading you. That's god leading you. That... What what what happened is an expansion took place all of a sudden. Immediately, enlargement took place. Ideas that the constriction of your mind could not have permitted before can now suddenly permit. How do I explain this?

Imagine you have... Think of it like this. Bring it. Imagine you put, you know, bottle cover. So imagine that. Imagine that. Or cracker's biscuit. Let's use cracker's biscuit. That rectangle one. Whatever you wanna use in your mind.

And you... It fill ups... Imagine how many can fill up this place. So what happens is that when you begin to pray, everything... The the crackers biscuit that feed everything up. There's no more space to add another crackers biscuit. Do you understand my point? When you begin to pray, what now happens is that this now turns to this. So a crackers biscuit can now join. That's what happens when you start saying things in prayers you never thought of.

It's an expansion of heart that has just happened. That's what happened when we're preparing for manifest conference. And we had already gone to go and pray a big venue in Abadina. And as I was praying, holy spirit said, go bigger. I came online. I told my pastors, this year's manifest conference will be the biggest we've ever done. It came as I was praying. What happens in heart expansion? We were looking for us. Halls.

Classroom. Halls. How do you go from a classroom to a hall? Where's the sense in that? Is... You can't think... Do you know you cannot even think about it? Because your mind is like this. So that that idea cannot even come. There's no space.

There's no entry. There's no... Your mind is too limited to conceive of a thing. So what we... What happens when you come for twelve hours prayer convocation? What what happens is that as you are now praying, as you are now praying, that's why some of us write down when we are praying. As your mind is expanding, the limits are breaking, the borders are breaking, the walls are breaking. Suddenly, are seeing more things. You are seeing more things, bigger things. Instantly, you you pin it down.

As you pin it down, start taking steps. Don't just pin it down there and leave it there. What is the structure? When such things come to my mind, I call my pastors immediately. Immediately, I tell them, this is... I don't I don't allow you to get cold, and it is hot like that. Because if it is cold, I may lose momentum, but they will not. So one of my instructors will tell them. You don't understand what I'm trying supposed to. You said we are doing this.

Hey. Yes. We are doing it. So what have we done so far? You're on your phone. You are doing this. You are making this possible. I'm doing this. This is my next step right now. You're passing by Borgia, and then you already have two spots or three spots or four spots where your business is located.

And as you pass by Borgia, you need to go and get something. It just just comes to your mind. This is good spot for my business. That's god speaking to you. It's it's just it's just my thoughts. It's... You know, it's just my thoughts. Just my thoughts. And people have missed out on. Where is that young man?

Where's where's miracle? Does he have a microphone? You see, there are four there are four things I wanna show you. And my idea is to... Is not just to tell you. You have to understand. It's it's to understand how it works. The first is that it's not spectacular. That's where we are on. There's the second.

There are five of them. Yeah. Now we were in a meeting, and I was teaching. Do you remember what happened? It came to your mind. You told me to go and speak to someone, and the contract came out of it. Yes, sir. Tell me how it happened. Tell us. Alright, sir.

So it was in the evening. I just felt like reaching out to a client that I had not talked to in a while. Are you seeing the use of the language? God spoke to you? No, sir. It just felt like. Felt like. I just felt like it. Feeling now was what? It was God, sir.

It was God. Continue. Alright, sir. So I just felt like reaching out to her, we are not talking a while. So I said I went on WhatsApp, dropped a message. How are you doing? It's been a while. I'm just checking up on you. Hope you are good. That was it.

And she replied me later that night, okay. Thanks. Nice to hear from you. The very next day, she sent me a voice note that's, I have three videos. Can you... I want you to work on them. She said, use the words you use. See, I have someone. Okay. So that was that was actually after.

So I started working on I started working on the videos, and I didn't hear from her again. So I was reaching out to her. So I think some days after, she called me back. She reached out again and said, oh, no. You're not disturbing me. So, actually, these videos, I was supposed to give them to my social media manager because they were actually some little videos. But I just thought to give it to you, and I don't know what came over me. Boss, that thought to give it to you, this reached out to you. She didn't reach out to me. Now that's where I'm going.

She just thought to give it to you but never reached you. Yes, sir. Until I reached out to her first. I am thinking, hey. If it's God, they will call me. It comes to your mind. Remind the person. Just a soft reminder. Gentle with with wisdom. And say, And, you know, I don't want I don't want to...

It comes to your mind. You have the mind of Christ. Many of you think the the proof, right, supernatural is that everything surrounding it will just be supernatural. You know how gently used to fly up on that? You see, you see, is it... Bible says that, you see, if you're not careful, you will make the hero. He didn't make the hero. Then no name... After him. Now Elijah was being fed by ravens, and that continued for a while.

All of a sudden, the ravens stopped. You know that? That's a beautiful thing. You're sitting down. Birds are just coming and dropping bread, and they drop. And they just drop chicken, and they just drop. And you say, I'm good. What do we have tonight? So the birds are coming. And you're the fume.

The the delicacy was was was supplied by birds. God say arise. I have set a widow by the gate to feed you. So now the next phase of the feeding will not come by birds. The hero is to think that because it started by birth, it will continue by birth. You must know when it is now go and meet a woman. He didn't even say the woman will come and meet you. Listen. God said, I've sent the woman to you. Us.

I've sent the woman to you. He said, even if his boy will go and meet her, he's still good. At least if the woman see you, you say, God has sent me to you. The Elijah man said Elijah man said, woman, what do you have in your house? You will tell the woman will say, ah, prophet of God, take everything I have. He said, no. What I have now is only me and my daughter that is left. You want to eat it and die. Yours is not there. You will feel guilty.

You say, that's your last food. Hey. God. I don't want to inconvenience her. God. I don't want to I don't want to inconvenience. You say it's your last food. I don't want to inconvenience her. I like Elijah. He said.

You will think that when you read that story, you will think it was the widow that was helping Elijah. The Bible says it was not Matthew that was not speaking. The Bible says there were many widows in Zarephath, but unto none was Elias the prophet sent, save the widow of Zarephat. It means Elijah was sent to her, not otherwise. And yet, Elijah had to ask her, what do you have for? The prophet is hungry. And ravens will not come tonight. There are there are no ravens tonight. Woman, what do you have? Sister, it's the...

You see, someone someone can be inconvenienced. Yet what what is... What they have left is yours. Somebody will literally inconvenience themselves. This... They said, see, I've not paid my son's coffees, but you are lost on my heart. That type of favor is following you tonight, sir. Yeah. There are some of you. Your problem is laziness and lack of wisdom.

Some of you, opportunities have opened up that is available to a very few people. It's not as nobody saying you should leave home, but your complain of tiredness. The workload is too much. Every day we are working. The person is just giving me too much work. If they are paying salary, what should they give you? Too much rest? Too much rest? If you think that what you are doing right now is too much, do you think it will get easier as you go? If you cannot sustain the wisdom to break through that problem now, do you think it's when you now have a child and you are now married?

You now have to work from... Come on now. Many people's first inclination is give up. No. The first inclination will be wisdom. What if this thing is tough? What is lacking is wisdom. Did you hear what I said? Yes, sir. If this thing is tough, what is lacking is what?

Wisdom. Wisdom. I was a student. I got a job while I was working on a project, on my final year project some years back, and I got a job in web design. And I know someone who is just learning web design. Now I couldn't combine the job I had gotten because it was too much and the project I was doing, and I was into ministry. So I will not stop the job because money is needed. The people I'm pastoring are young people who cannot supply enough money to power the ministry. So I must make money. That was the wisdom God supplied then.

Are you with me? So I will not stop now just because it's suddenly difficult. It is difficult because the level of wisdom that was used to power it then has faded off. Now we are in today, a new dimension, a new load of wisdom is in... Is needed. It's... When you were on break, you got a job. Now you have resumed. You are still working the job. You have...

You are going to class or you are going to different places. It is wisdom to know that the same way or the same wisdom you applied before isn't the same thing you continue doing now. Jen is trying to say, there must be a wisdom downloaded from heaven. So there was someone who was just learning web design, and I could get the job and act... I asked him then how much he wanted. How much he wanted. The guy was not even in Nigeria. And I showed him how to do a few jobs, a few things. I showed him how to go about it. He was just learning it.

He saw me doing it and, you know, like the the thing. He was following me then. And I asked him, I said, you're just listening. Can you do this? Can you do that? He said, yes. So how much would you stick? And he told me, I think 50,000 naira or so. To him, that was big amount of money. I was being paid 300,000 naira for the job.

I gave him the job. He did it, and he wanted to impress me so he was perfect. And I gave the job. I added I added 10,000 naira stipend as a good boss that I have. Now wisdom came. The work was plenty, but do not have to drop one for one. What what was needed was just wisdom. How do I structure it in a way that... And that wisdom comes in... It will come in your thoughts as you are praying.

This is why you have to pray a lot. There are people that have resigned from jobs that they eventually regretted because they thought the next opportunity will come as fast as the previous one came. So even if God led you out of, it's wisdom to start looking for before departure. There are orders that God is already opening other lot of opportunities to you. You can feel peace about it, but you are afraid of change. The fear of the change in location, change in association that might happen now informs disobedience. Listen to me. Understand something. Nothing happens in the comfort zone. Nothing grows in comfort.

There are times when in order for you to grow, God will lead you out of comfort. And God will challenge you to do things that might not be conventional. And what might be needed is just wisdom. And there are many of you, the wisdom has even been supplied. What you lack is zeal. You have apathy towards spiritual instruction and spiritual wisdom. So you will start something, but the drive to just continue in that thing. Listen to me. The living of the spirit doesn't manifest suddenly. God might lead you in a way, and you would have to learn to grow even in the way God is leading you.

Do you understand my point? There are times... It won't it won't just yield massive results. So God can tell you... It can it can come to your mind that let me start this business or let me start this thing or let me get this job. It will not... In fact, you might get the job and have a carryover because you got the job. And he thought, what the spirit of God led me, it is true. But there was a wisdom problem. Yeah.

Then so as you now... As you have encountered a challenge, that challenge will now draw you to a place of wisdom. To now start seeking for wisdom, to know exactly how to go about it in a way that it does not collapse. Do you understand what I'm teaching you? In a way it doesn't collapse. You have a leading, for instance, that you are into drama or go as leading into entertainment or drama or whatever. Nobody has to tell you to start looking for opportunities in that regard. When is the next audition? Who is holding the next audition? What are relationships I must form?

Is there any meeting where entrepreneurs are joining and are coming together? Do have a platform to go there? Can I meet someone? I'm a freaking designer. Can I intern for a top designer somewhere in Lagos? Can I learn a few things even if I'm not paid? I don't need to hear God for that. Like, those are steps towards my destiny. And as the spirit of God is moving me in that regard. Are you with me?

That regard. Let me show you a scripture as we close. First Corinthians two six. The bible says we speak wisdom amongst those who are mature. Maybe we do part two. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

However, Maybe. We speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age nor of the rulers of the age who are coming to nothing. We speak wisdom. So you see, there is wisdom that is needed, and this wisdom is spoken amongst them that are mature, that are mature. The wisdom is not the wisdom of this age. Have you read your bible? The bible says, through wisdom is a house built. And my understanding which you are now having, it is established. So anything you must build, any ante... Any enterprise you must build will be built through wisdom.

And the bible says, this wisdom is not the wisdom of this age. So there is a wisdom of this age. Soteria, stay with me. Look at the next verse. The bible says, but we speak the wisdom. This wisdom is wisdom. We speak this wisdom in a mystery. But watch this. This wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory. Do you know what that means?

If the bible says, God ordained this wisdom for your glory, it means this wisdom is the password to glory. It's a key. The bible says, God ordained the wisdom for your glory. It means this is glory. How will you access glory? Wisdom. Wisdom becomes the password or the the key to unlock glory in your life. It means if you will experience the glory God has... This also shows me that there's glory ordained for you. So there's glory ordained for your business.

There's glory ordained for your academics. There's glory ordained for your marriage. There's glory ordained for your career. There's glory ordained for your everything. Stay with me. There is wisdom ordained for your glory. So what glory have you seen? There's wisdom for it. In other words, when I prophesy about a life and you do have not the power, ensure what you are receiving is wisdom. Because because it is power and wisdom that must come together to form glory.

That was why on the month of transfiguration, these were the two dimensions that appeared to Jesus. Elijah, power. Moses, the law, wisdom. Are you with me? The law, principles. Moses typifies the law, principles, the wisdom, and the ordinance of God. Elijah typifies the prophets, the power, and these two were needed for transfiguration. In other words, if you will change from another level to another level, power must meet wisdom. Are you with me? Yes, sir.

Now watch. There is wisdom ordained for your glory. There is how to go about it. There is what to do. There is the way to do it. Ordained for your glory. So in your academics, your glory is a first class, a perfect CGPA. There's wisdom ordained for it. It's not only take it. It's only amen.

There's... Will now begin to show you the wisdom ordained for it. One of my dear young ladies was... Came to me on on on on Sunday and was telling me about how that she she she she has people that she teaches. And because she has people that she teaches, she doesn't have time for herself. I said,. You see, that's a wisdom issue. Have you heard people say things like, and I taught people and they are more than me? Yes. That's that issue.

Love your neighbor as yourself more than yourself. So Your destiny is full. Can I tell your friends because you love them? And let's meet on Friday. That's wisdom ordained for your glory. Not to struggle and be riddling with people, and you know you don't succeed that way. You know you need personal time to study. But because you know these are my friends, you are not walking in the way of wisdom, and many times you will know. You will know. There is wisdom within for your marriage.

There is wisdom within for your business, for your career. Now the question is how does the wisdom come? It says, we speak the wisdom in a mystery. Do you agree with me that if the... If I can have the wisdom, I've had glory. Forget the cosmos. If the wisdom can come, glory has come. So how does the wisdom come? He said we speak the wisdom in a mystery. First Corinthians 14 verse two.

Before you go to verse two, go to verse 10. Two ten. But God has revealed them to us. Now his spirit are the deep things of God, which are still the hidden wisdom of God. His God has revealed them to us by his spirit. For his spirit does what? Searches all things. Yes. The deep things of God. So it means when we begin to speak this wisdom in a mystery, the spirit of God has a ministry called the searching ministry.

And what it does is, like like some... Like a magnifying glass, it begins to search Which one of the numerous wisdom of God is specific to what you are asking for? You'll get to God. Now it searches it searches the mind of God. It searches. And he... As he begins to search, it is God has revealed them to us. How? We speak this wisdom in a mystery. So as we are speaking the wisdom in a mystery, what is happening is the spirit is searching.

It's searching. It's searching. So it means the more you engage the speaking of the wisdom, the more the spirit searches. First Corinthians 14 verse two, the bible says, for we know not what... No. No. No. Fourteen two, but he who speaks in tongue does not speak to men but to God for no one understands him. However, in the spirit, he speaks mysteries. So we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery.

What is the mystery? First, we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. It means the mystery is like the carrier package. It's like Conga. It's like DHL. We speak the wisdom in a mystery. In other words, we transport wisdom. We we we order for wisdom. We set... Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, sir. In the vehicle that the wisdom arrives through is a mystery. What is the mystery? If any man speaketh in tongues, he speaketh not unto men but unto God. How be it he speaks mysteries? So the bible now says, without clear contradiction, speaking in tongues is mystery. So what happens is when a man begins to speak in tongues, what is happening is actually that the spirit of... What he's doing is as he's doing What is happening is that he's speaking wisdom. He's speaking wisdom. He's speaking wisdom.

He's speaking wisdom. The spirit of God is searching. As you are starting, because he he will need to find. So as you are starting, you have not reached the height yet. You you can still be distracted in your thought to continue. If destructive thoughts come, get it out. Get out, you devil. The devil is trying to invade your space. You know why? Because you know you are speaking mysteries.

You are speaking wisdom. And if it if it does not cloud your space, that wisdom will come. If that wisdom comes, glory has come. So the the the the thing the devil does now is to ensure that the the the... There is traffic on the pathway. Are you with me? So instead of, okay, your your your... There's not your job. Now put plenty, plenty cars. The wisdom will now be...

It will now be fast because of too many... It's simple. Get them out. The bible says set your thoughts on things above. So when the thoughts come, get out you devil. It helps therefore to have something in your mind. Let's just engage your mind in a way. It might be mechanical. Are you with me? You can you can declare scriptures.

You can say, oh, I thank you, Jesus. I thank you for how good you have been. I thank you for our bishop. I I... You are thinking of how good he has been. It's mechanical. You are engaging your mind. Are you with me? Is to ensure that the devil does not invade your mind when your mind becomes idle. So you can intentionally engage your mind.

If you are if you are building capacity, the bible says if you are building capacity, the bible says, well, rising like an edifice higher and higher. So close your eyes and see yourself rising. It's mechanical. The reason you are doing it is to ensure your mind is not hiding. Because once your mind becomes hiding, you'll not think of Amala and Egusi. You'll not think... You get my point now because the the devil is causing the traffic where wisdom is meant to pass Are you with me? So you you engage your mind. If... Listen.

You might fail. Cast the devil out. Yes. It's not a problem. You won't get it at at the first time. You might even try and you see... You won't know where will come where ideas will start flowing. You will you will enter into a realm of thoughts. You will start thinking. It will be dropping your mind like imagination.

Like, then you say, ah, okay. Let me read this part of my textbook in there for my exam. It... Write it down. Write it down. It has begun. Wisdom for your glory has been unlocked. It has become... Many a times when I give my workout instruction is from this point. When I just someone, let me pray about it.

This is what I'm saying. Because as I'm praying, I... The thought it was... It it will come like an... Like, it's not not it's it's not mystical. It's not spectacular. Those things that come, bend them down. That is the wisdom ordained for your glory. Remember You can finish praying, and you're just bathing, and your mind just go somewhere. And you just think, oh, this person that is here told you about a business.

They said, wanna send something to Nigeria. They didn't want to sell it. And you and and you... When the person told you, your mind will not go to it. If I look at it, if I see somebody, I will I will get back to you. Now you are busy, and the postcards come back to you. Say, I take this thing? And you feel peace in your spirit. You call the person. Send those goods.

Will sell it for you. Are you with me? Wisdom ordained for your glory. I know someone that... This I just said now is how he started selling cars. The brother in The US had a car to sell Have you been blessed? We believe you were blessed by this message to connect with the Disciples Christian Network and get more from apostle Emmanuel.
