Transcript: Kingdom Laws for Manifesting Dominion Part 1

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

This message is from believers equipped. 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. You'll be blessed in no small way. Amen. Today, you'll permit me to get right into the word because there's so much, so much to talk about today. So much. So you'd permit me to go straight into the point. I'll petition on what I've titled kingdom laws for manifesting dominion. Kingdom laws for manifesting dominion.

There is a burden that I have always carried. Note the direction of prayers that we were praying before I came up, the woman of God and the man of God had came leading us to pray, that this vision is in the world. That nations are coming. That there is a space problem. These are the burdens that God has given to us. That this vision is to the world. This message is to the world. But I told God that in as much as nations will come, in as much as we will be many, we will not have a crowd of members. We will have a crowd of men. Would have a crowd of sons.

Men and women who would become strong. Strong enough to represent the kingdom of God in this generation. Strong enough. To represent the the the mandate of God in this generation. Listen, the assignment of the man of God is not just to speak blessings over people. In as much as that is a very important part of the assignment, the assignment is not just to pronounce blessings over people. The assignment of the man of God is to break mental strongholds. Cultural strongholds. Invincible ceilings in the minds of those that hear him. So that and he does that through the instrumentality of God's what?

Strongholds that make them believe that greatness cannot come out of them. Strongholds that make them believe that they cannot step out to do massive things for God. They cannot step into the structure of influence. And the mountains of influence to take it over for God. The assignment of the man of God is to break this stronghold. So that by the time God begins to send people into sectors, they would not come back with an evil report. Saying that the people that are there are giants and we are like grasshoppers. The man of God has failed. The assignment of the man of God is to make God big in you regardless of whatever circumstance you might face. Regardless of whatever circumstance that you might face.

So there's a desire in me to see you occupy, to see you dominate. I want to see you enter into industries, classrooms, boardrooms, nations, and bring the kingdom there. That is the vision, that is the mandate. That is the assignment. Dominion is not just an ambition. It is God's original idea for man. The very first recorded words from the mouth of God to man was not religious. Was not single. Was not even prayer well. He was let them have dominion.

Genesis one twenty six, let them have dominion. Let them rule. Let them govern. Let them preside over systems. Let them master their terrain. That was God's idea from the beginning. He didn't say let them survive. He didn't say let them let them hustle and manage and beg for help. Let them hustle. Let them manage.

Let them beg for help. He said, dominion. Dominion is the native atmosphere of the believer. That means anything less than dominion, anything less than influence, anything less than that. To We are not not places that trained us to survive, not to going rule. So we grew up and became mature with a survivor mentality to think as slaves. And not as kings. And so when we hear, when we come to church and we hear the man of God saying that your mandate as a believer is to dominate, is to rule. A lot of us cannot, even as much as we agree, in as much as we even believe, we cannot conceptualize what this means in practical terms because we did not grow up seeing it. Society has wired an emblem of servitude.

From education to culture to tradition, you mention it. So even though you are filled with the holy spirit, you still think like a slave. You have access to divine wisdom, but you still walk in fear. And this is the tragedy of our generation. We are full of potential, but we are also full of doubt. We are full of potential, but we are also full of smallness. We are full of potential, but we are also full of excuses. Our assignment is to break that limitation. Do you understand the burden here? Psalms 82 verse six, the Bible says, I have said, you are Gods.

And all of you are children of the most high. I hope you know that this is not motivational preaching. This is scripture. Scripture is the one that tells us that we are Gods. It sounds almost fictional to tell believers that we are Gods. It sounds almost fictional. To paint pictures in the heart of a believer. That that that makes him see himself as a God. Yet the Bible says we are Gods. Do you know what should be your capacity as a God?

Do you know what should be your ability as a God? You see, when you look at the life of believers right now, it is a direct contradiction from what is written. A direct contradiction. Many believers. The assignment of the man of God is to break that limitation. Is to bridge the gap between what is written and what is experienced. It is to teach a people to open the eyes and to break the blindness. So that their eyes can see. Paul says, he was given to me the grace to make all men see. All men see.

So when we come to church, that is what we are burdened by. So that somebody listens to me and suddenly that whatever it is that has clogged their mentality, that has clogged their mind. Is suddenly turn off. And suddenly somebody begins to see themselves in light of what God has said. Amen. And the limitations of fear and doubt and smorning is broken off. And and when we begin to stop dominion, when we begin to talk all of these these things, you can now begin to conceptualize how it practically applies to you. Otherwise, it will only be a KJV terminology that you will not know how to apply it practically. You would know it as a word in scripture. But you would not know exactly how to bring it into practical terms.

How does it apply in your business? In your academics. In your career, your purpose, in your ministry. For instance, we are praying right now. That Our numbers are increasing. This gospel is reaching the world. Amen. We are making declarations right now. Is that not so? And we are we are praying.

Someone who does not understand this theme will wonder why we are praying that. And it's because society has taught us something. Go ahead of myself. Go ahead of myself. You are God. You are Gods, the Bible says. It is God that is even speaking, you are Gods. God looks at his sons and he says, you are of divine stock. You are not ordinary, you were born of incorruptible seed. You are not weak, you are not useless, you are not a mystic, you are God.

That's what God says. There is the heartbreaking part of it. Next verse now says, but you will die like men. Why? Because even though they were God's identity, they refused to rise into that reality by understanding. They know not. Neither do they understand. They work on in darkness. All the foundations of the head are hound of course. So the question is, what don't they know?

Next verse says, you are God's. In other words, what they don't know is their identity. Their identity as God's. What made them God? Because you are children of the most high. In other words, if you are a son of God, you are a God. Because the son of a king has to be a king. That's why verse one begins by saying God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He ruleth amongst the Gods. You see that?

He stands in the he judgeth. Another word says, he judgeth. Yes, amongst the Gods. He stands in the conviction of the mighty. If the Bible says God stands in the condition of the mighty, it means when God comes to worship with men. When God comes enthroned, the Bible says that. God is enthroned in the praises of his people, is that not so? So when he's enthroned in the praises of his people, he doesn't come to sit down with subjects. He comes to sit down with Gods. The Bible says he judgeth among the Gods.

He stands in the congregation of the mighty. And you will think these are angels, but no. He says, he says we are Gods. But they don't know. And because they don't know, they would die, like me, amen. The reason why men die is not because death is so powerful, it's because they don't know. Responsibility of the man of God. Is to labor in the word. Is labor because this thing was done to us by years of conditioning. Years of reprogram.

What I'm trying to do in in the mind of a man. What I'm trying to unlock, what I'm trying to destroy was put there in eighteen years. Twenty two years, twenty four years, the man who met me by thirty, thirty years. One who made me forty five, forty five years. And he comes, we are trying to, he's a, he's his labor. That's why the Bible says give them double or no. But when that labor is successful, my God. When that labor is successful what the man turns into will shock even himself. Will shock everyone around him. Everyone around you.

And that's what I see happening all around me. Right now, we have a generation with glory locked in their belly. Dreams rotting in their journals. Mantles sitting high on their shoulders. Divine possibilities in their minds. They were never taught to rise. Students walking into classroom like beggars instead of reformers. Creatives dictating through culture. Apologizing for their light. Apologizing for doing right.

Young men with fire in their bones. Silencing themselves. Because someone told them not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet. You have not matured enough. I'm not yet there. The distance between your current reality and your prophetic destiny is often not a demon. Is a mindset. It is what you have been trained to believe. Because a slave mentality can never carry a king's mantle. His survivalist cannot wage kingdom warfare.

A man who has been raised to think that he must always wait until it is his turn. We never cease the moment when God presents it. And for many of us, this mindset came from inherited tradition. That is why this is so dangerous. Because in many parts of what has been passed down to us is limitation, repackaged as wisdom. So we think we are being wise, whereas what we have hope is limitation. We have traditions that sound like, that that sound so noble. But they are demonic. I'm not against tradition. I'm not against culture.

I think that we have solid items in culture. That the fact that we are even the fact that a generation is deviating from that, from that culture is the reason why we have so much pervashness right now. For example many of us were brought up. Like with the understanding that you should not take things from a stranger. Is that not so? The discipline was passed down to us. Is that not so? Was it part of the culture? Is that not so? Many of us were raised with a kind of ego.

That makes you content with what you have growing up. So that you don't envy that which is another man's. There is a culture if you were brought up well. If you were brought up well, some people might not even understand what I am saying. You may have been brought up well but refused the training. You are also part of that category. Glory to God. Amen. Whichever the case might be. But for those who were brought up well, there's a way culture.

This training is ingrained in culture. That every parent teaches their child to be content. There's a way it can be negative, but there's a way it's also positive. That we are taught to be content. We are taught to be not to not envy that much as another man's. So that if you go and ask your mother or your father for the latest bank in town. And your father tells you you cannot afford it right now. They don't warn you well. To go and get it outside and bring it and see that they have gotten it. You would have to explain where it came from.

Because in as much as we don't have everything, we are not thieves. And there's a way culture. We don't insult your family name outside. Don't disgrace your parents outside. There's a way culture helps us understand that you have a responsibility to your family. And that your actions don't tell on you alone. That whatever you do, they will trace it back to where you are from. Is the way culture teaches you that. That not so. And if it's a Godly kingdom values.

If not overstretched, it's a Godly kingdom values. That we begin to enter hero even when we begin to drift away from this kingdom values. When we begin to drift away from this kingdom values, hero is much. But you understand translate. A generation gradually deviated. From what and many of the hills you'd find in society today, if some of these things were upheld, you would not find them. Because people are displacing their family name online. Because when you see some people and and what they do, what they dare to do in front of thousands of people, the first question you are asking is. Raised you, taught you, don't you have siblings? Your parents not ashamed.

There's a way culture teaches you shame. And shame becomes a good teacher. That's why I said if it it must not be overstretched. Because shame too can be weaponized. And it becomes a limitation. Packaged in wisdom. In many parts of Africa, what has been passed down to us is a limitation. Africa is filled with traditions that are directly opposed to the spirit of dominion. I'm not speaking as someone I... I'm not against culture like I've just told you now.

I'm saying this as someone who has seen what it has done to promising young people. You know that in many regions right now, there is an unspoken law. That you must be a certain age before you begin to dream of manifestation. Psalm is 40. Psalm is 30. What can I do anything serious? And until you are of that age, you must sit at the back, bow your head and apologize for your existence. You must not dare to reach out for certain. You must cannot even tell someone that I'm I'm thinking of becoming this? It look as though you are blaspheming.

How dare you speak like that? Let me give an example. You are 23. God has helped you. God has helped you. You wanna get married? You go and tell your parents that I'm ready to get married. But are you seeing? Married? So how can you be thinking of that accomplishment?

You don't understand what I'm saying? Looks like wisdom. But it limitation. It is limitation that makes you feel as though not until I am a certain age. I should not even be expecting certain manifestations of destiny in my life. And if believed, if believed, the danger is when it becomes ingrained in you. You will never think of reaching out for certain opportunities because you would feel you are not yet there. It won't even come to your mind. I will not know you have a problem. You won't know, you will think you are okay.

You think you are normal. You think you are just a good person. See, I, you would, you, you know what you will say? Say me, I'm I'm not an ambitious person. I'm not an ambitious person, you know. I'm not, I'm not an, it's as God brings it for me, that's how I'm not really it looks like it makes sense to you. Whereas you have been dominated by culture. Culture has wounded you, but you don't know. That's why you meet me. In some traditions, it's an insult for the younger person to step into wealth, to lead, or to speak in a gathering.

How dare you talk when held out as speaking? There are places where we, women, women are still forbidden from owning land. Leading things, going to school. Do you know that there are unspoken rules that say that if you are the first born, you have to suffer or pave the way for others. You are the first born, the kind of pressure that is on you. Pressure put there by circumstances, situation, society, everything. There are ideas that make a man believe if you rise too fast, it is dangerous. He said if you rise too fast, success will kill you. In some tradition, there's a way you must dress. If you are to be perceived as responsive.

There's a way a man must dress. If you are to be perceived as responsible, there's a way a woman must dress. And if you'd not bend to that culture, you are not accepted by the people. You are termed, you are stereotyped. For instance, there's a culture that that believes that if you are a man, oaklets is here. You are a worshipper of an idol. I was talking to some people and I was so shocked that there are people that they gave birth 2008. That's small, small children. If you were born in 2010, how old are you now? Can can you imagine that?

Can you imagine that? So when I'm telling you that in the nineties, you can't even think. Glory to god. Don't mind me. Hallelujah. Yeah. Because I think that if you played here as a man, you are you are a worshiper of an idol, And you have been sold to that hydro. Doesn't matter if you are decent, it doesn't matter what you believe, it doesn't matter if you are successful or not. As long as you appear like that, you are disapproved at arrival. And it may sound like harmless opinion.

But hear me? They are a spiritual programming. And the danger now is that they've been baptized into religion. Now, preachers now repeat them from pulpit. Preachers now declared them as revelation. And young people who are hungry for God have inherited mindsets that God never give them. And these strongholds are now wearing clerical colors. And now singing in choirs. He quotes scripture. But it's not aligned with the heart of God.

Did not align with the heart of God. So much so, a song came out blessing everybody. But the reason why someone would disapprove of it is because this the man had a gold hair. That's not scripture, that's culture, but it's a pastor that is seeing it. Are you seeing the problem then? The man. The culture he was brought up with. Makes him feel as though if you don't appear one kind, you are disapproved at arrival. Doesn't matter what if what you brought is genuine, doesn't matter whether you're anointed. So we denounce a man's healing ministry because he's doing Jerichoel.

And we are more concerned about the Jerichoel than the man to encourage. And the reason why you attack him is not because God sent him, it's because of how he's appearing. And we'll tell our children. I will pass it down to them. And we will read a generation that will hate the man for no reason. Because culture to do so. And we don't know these are examples. There are plenty. Plenty. And we don't know that the more we receive these things, the more we accept these things, the more it forms chains, the more it forms bondages.

In Matthew 15, the Pharisees came to Jesus complaining that his disciples were breaking the direction of the elders. And Jesus looked them in the eye and said, why do you transgress the commandments of God for the sake of your traditions? And in verse six, he said, so for the sake of your tradition, you have nullified. The word of God. Depriving it of power and authority. In other words, you can be under the word and still be fruitless because you are filtering the word through culture. You're hearing scriptures, but you are decoding them from the lens of a mindset that was built by tradition not by truth. That is why we can cry and fall under the anointing. But still beg in the market place. Because the average believer knows how to speak in tongues.

But doesn't know how to negotiate value. You know how to pray for favor but don't know how to prepare for favor. You know how to prophesy in a church setting. You can't take up space in a boardroom or defend kingdom truth in a courtroom. Or invent something useful in a lab. Because of this thing that make a believer believe that I hope you know that it wasn't like that. I hope you know that people could marry us. Sailor, let me not push into that. Because, you know, it's a dangerous world we live in. Man of gods or both pedophilia.

You need to go and find out what age Mary was pregnant. Go and find out. How about you will be shocked by your findings? Tell me that I'll tell you. You go and find out that. And also you heard it from my mouth. And it was Job that said I've heard of thee by the end of the year, but my... Now my eyes see it. So when you find out your eyes will sit. So you too will see my eyes have seen.

What am I saying? That mentality that has eaten down on people is the reason why someone, a man, a a full grown man can be dirty, has a job, stable job. Has a stable house. Or is any man not ready for marriage? And he's carrying girls up and down. Quabiting. I'm not ready for marriage. You are talking to a 25, 20, 24 year old man. He says, this morning, you're looking why are you kids getting married? In next eight to ten years.

Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Yeah. You see, you see, it's it's your lifetime. Will become your own doing. What we are talking about here is serious matters. Serious matters. The fact that it is on is a problem.

We should be crying. If you understand what I'm saying, we will see... All of us will sit down like this. We'll now start crying. This was what they did in the times of David. The king will stand. He will now start it. Everybody will now follow. We are trying to cry, you are laughing. Glory to God.

A young lady does not see any picture for herself. In greatness, in destiny. There's a mentality that have been wired up into a young lady's mind that makes her feel that her only relevance in her husband's house. So what a what a woman is thinking in her mind, see, when I marry, whoever married me, just take care of me. Are you coming and they come and suffer? And now there comes a reason why she cannot make progress in life. That becomes the reason why nothing relevant can pierce her mind. One of my daughters, we we need to cry. One of my daughters. Hear me?

One of my daughters came to me. Full grown woman. Done with university, done with everything. Next phase of your life, okay, get a job, start a business, whatever right now. You should be doing that now. But doing nothing. Say, god. I said, what is going on? Why are not doing anything? You say, I'm I'm I'm I'm trying.

I'm applying for a job. I'm applying for a job. Alright. K. So let me see how you're applying. Show me your LinkedIn profile. Show me all the platforms you're on. Show me your resume. What what companies have you applied for the last three days? Five days?

As I have applied. Okay. So what are they called? I don't I don't know. Okay, so what did you apply for? I don't know. Right, so let me see your LinkedIn profile. All that was there was the name, even the picture was not there. The only thing that was there was a name. Just the name.

I'm I'm coming on the pulpit on Sundays and I'm declaring go and prosper. You are you are going out under the power. You are going out. We need to cry. I saw the CV a cockroach can design better. We need to cry. And when you see this lady down, she will tell you, sir, I'm married. I'm thinking of brother so and so. And when it's time to gist that, the discussion is sweet and smooth. Is he supposed to be?

This brother even came to me. They even tell him, well, let's talk about your life now. And you will find nothing. Nothing. Because culture has the mentality that the only relevance of a woman is that it applies to a place in her husband's house. As though there is no purpose that a woman was born to live out. So we have left scripture, now we have raised foolish people. Foolish people who have made themselves to be objects. There was a time when you were fighting for the rights of people, for for the rights of women. The same people you are fighting for their rights.

One, C. They said don't fight again, they are object. And you would, you will be amazed how many believers have bought into the ideology. How many believer here will receive power come upon their lives? But would have no impetus to do anything, listen able with it. Because deep inside is a mentality. A stronghold, a strong limitation. And that has to change. And it won't change by accident. It must change because somebody rises to say enough is enough.

That limitation ends with me. Someone must rise in a generation and say, who would not be a a prayerful but powerless people that someone must rise in that manner. Someone must rise in that manner. Who will not be bold in worship or timid in the marketplace. We will not hide behind tradition. There's a weight I should have made. Even some women feel as though a man is superior to them. That's why it is possible for a man in a superior position, say lecturer for instance. To be taken advantage of a lady, mature lady, not a small girl. And you should have been doing like a cat.

No. No. It's it's a it's a serious problem. It's... And look at my face. They are smiling now. Smile now. Mister, mister, mister, Sanusi. I don't I don't want to smile. Yeah.

Smile. Smile now. I know my baby has smile for me, Joe. So what do you like? What do you like? What do you like? I don't like anything. Stand and say, excuse me, sir. This is not allowed. And stand bold.

It's against my value system. But there is something that have been wired into that brain. That makes that brain believe. As long as they are a man, they are my superior. There's no way that it's written in the Bible. Nowhere. Touching person goes to the marketplace, she can never rise and promise you. Because it is those men that will be toying with her, playing with her. And when she has to contend with those same people, her heart will sink. How would you be vying for managerial position?

Where is mister? This man? I are the only woman amongst five men. How do you think you will get it? You have not met that posthuman. He hasn't done something to your mind. He hasn't recalibrated some things, removed some things, and installed the word of God in your spirit. I mean if you say and so what? The day after the earth. What can they do there that I cannot do there?

I'm the best for this position and that's fact. And you rise like a man of war. I will follow you. But let it be noted that when we win this battle, the glory will not come to you. It will be said that this battle was won because You are the one God is sending to break that cycle. You are the one to change the narrative. You are the one to shock people. You hear me? That it is possible to do such great things and rise to such great heights and control such massive money. At a terribly young age.

And when you appear in Forbes 125, and they call you for interviews. Your first statement would let my life be a testament. That it doesn't matter where you come from. Let my life be a testament. It doesn't matter what your background is. It doesn't matter what your limitations are. Give a man the word of God. Give a man the spirit of God. Set him on a path of destiny. Put tongues in his mouth.

Put fire in his heart. And there's nothing he would not do. Nothing he would not Amen. You are the one that will rise with the young. You are the one that will build before the world take it's your turn. You are the one that will challenge these evil systems. You're the one that will speak truth to power, to rise in dominion, to reclaim what hell has stolen from your lineage. You're the one. You're the one. The economic answers of this nation are in your minds.

You hear me? Hear me? Have your seat. Sit down. Sit down. Have your seat. If you're going to break out and rise, I've observed a few things from my life. And the lives of patriots who lived this life through the lens of scripture. There are laws that anyone who will rise to greatness must abide by, and I found six of them. And I pray that we have the time to unpack them all.

I'm still teaching. I'm still teaching. There's only one passing to this meeting. There's no part to. So please give me your ears. The six laws that I have found. Number one, these are laws. It means that they are commands. Their instructions, their ordinances. That if you will manifest dominion, manifest greatness.

You must decide to live your life by them. These are not forces. They are laws. You would decide to abide by it. They are commands. You would decide to abide by it. Number one, There's six of them. Number one. Value the word. God help us.

Value the word. Value the word of God. Every meeting. It is not someone as usual. These are building blocks that are making your life. You are eating the food of champions. This is the chance that something great would be made out of your life. Listen to me. For many of us who are like me, this is it all. This is it.

There's no other option. What I mean by that is you don't have any guarantee, any other guarantee. You don't have any other body, any person, there's no, there's no uncle somewhere, no aunt somewhere. There's no other guarantee. Outside of God's word. For greatness, for success. This is it. You either believe this thing now. Or your life becomes a mess. May I immune this very early?

That it's either this or this. There is not that. For me, there is not that. For me, if God does not work, I am done for. You know, for others, they are... They have other options. Options. Some of us do not. The hope of a bright future is God. Don't get me wrong, are not here to use God.

That that's not the mentality. It is that we sink ourselves in this world. And we have found the life that awaits a man that does so. And we have seen that this thing is the same thing people are chasing in the world. And God says, I have it all in me. All you need to do is give me your heart. Give me yourself. Give me your time. And some of us have found that. And we have realized that if we have no other option, then we would rather give ourselves to these things.

Or we die believing it. We have not found any man. Who really, really believed it. And died doing so. Without seeing the fullness of what he has believed manifest. No one who has taken time with God's word has not proven it that it is true. Take this thing seriously. Take every meeting seriously. I had several people come to me after the midnight Sunday. Still confused about issues that were clearly addressed by the word and by the spirit in admit not only.

Several more sent me messages, still confused about things that were clearly addressed in admit not only. And it's it is sometimes heartbreaking. Not because I wasn't clear. But because you did not catch it. Because you didn't receive it. You heard sounds but you did not discern that your word came. That's the meaning. Someone is speaking to me and I'm wondering, but I said this, how come you missed it? How are you present during the service and you missed this? In John chapter 12, remember I told you on, I forgotten when I told you, one of the Sundays, I told you that in Matthew three, when the word came to Jesus, this is my beloved son, and I'm well pleased.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He didn't come for the people, it came for him. You remember that? Yes. It won't be the last time that God will be speaking like that over Jesus. It happened again. But watch the difference this time around. In John chapter 12 from verse 12, the Bible says, the next day, a great multitude came. That had come to the feast. When they heard Jesus was come on Jerusalem, they took branches of palm trails and went out to meet him and cried out, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes, the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.

The hour has come. Verse 23 now I'm reading. But Jesus answered them and saying, the hour has come that the son of God and the son of man should be glorified. Right? Verse 28. So Jesus said, hour has come that the son of man should be glorified. It means Jesus knows. So 28, Jesus is praying. He says father, glorify your name. So then a voice came from heaven saying, I have both glorified my name, and I will glorify it again.

Now I want us to read verse 29 together. Everybody, one, two, three, go. What? Do you know what's going on here? In other words, some people just heard thunder. What was as articulate as I have glorified myself? And I will glorify myself again. As articulate as it was, what somebody heard was What has said an angel spoke to him. Everybody had something different experiences. But nobody really picked out what was said.

Watch this. Next verse. Look at what Jesus now said. One, two, three, go. So how come what you heard was thunder? Jesus said, this voice did not come because of me. How do you know this? It came because of you. It came for your sake. It means there was something in that word.

There was something there that was for someone that I will glorify myself again. I will glorify myself again. There was something there for someone, But the person heard thunder. That is how easy it is for people to miss their word. And when people come and meet me, it is obvious that what you heard was thunder. Let me say this to you. Nothing of lasting dominion is built outside the world. Dominion is not magic. It happens as a result of alignment with God's revealed instruction. The word of God is the material with which your future is constructed.

Understand that the walls were framed by the word of God. The walls, the ages, the systems, destinies were framed by the word of God. Not just created, framed, designed, structured. It was, if your destiny must take shape, it will only happen as you submit it to the word of God. That frames it. That is why Satan is not afraid of your church attendance. He's afraid the moment the word becomes revelation to you. That's the moment your eyes open and you shift. And this is why your attention is always under attack. Your meditation is always fought.

That's the reason why you cannot concentrate when the word of God is coming. Your retention is always under siege because Satan knows. As long as you can hear the word and forget it, nothing will change. So in Mark chapter four and verse 15, the Bible says, these are they by the wayside where the word is sown. But when they have heard, Satan comment immediately and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. Immediately the Bible says, the moment the word drops, warfare begins. Because your future is at stake. Your dominion is in danger. That's why you feel sleepy when the time to study comes. When the when the time to receive the word comes.

That's why distractions come mid sermon. That's why the hunger for a new word overshadows the obedience of the last one. Because Satan knows how dangerous the world is to you. He knows. Do you realize that one teaching can shift your bloodline? One instruction can deliver you from twenty years of holiness. One word from God is often the thing that is standing between where you are and where God wants you. In second Kings seven, Samaria was under sage. The people were in famines and the famine was so thick. That they were eating their own children.

But then prophet Elisha stood and said, by this time tomorrow, food will overflow in this city. It's harder impossible. The king's office however said, even if God opened the windows of heaven, this cannot happen. And Elisha said to him, you will see it. But you will not eat of it. What was his crime? His crime was that he despised the word. He had no value for the word. He treated it like a motivational speech. He treated it like an economic advice.

Instead of a decree from heaven. There was no value for the word of God. And just as Elisha said, he saw the miracle but was trampled to death before he could test it. And that is what happens when you underestimate the word of God. When you, you, you, you, you find that you observe what others experience. You become a spectator of glory that would have been yours. How did Jesus grow? Under the ministry of the word, it was his custom to go to the synagogue Even the word made flesh sat under the word before entering ministry. What excuse then do you have? In Joshua one eight, the very first secret that God gave to Joshua was not strategies.

It was not the The The is word of not you won't, you, you, you, you don't have the capacity to carry impartations. Don't treat these things as everyday sermons. Treat them as a destiny blueprint. Let today mark a turning point in your life with respect to value. Where you no longer come to meetings just to enjoy a moment in the meeting. No. Or to build up your harmony. Value the word. Understand that whenever I come, there is something happening to me. I'm being made.

I'm being formed. I'm being molded. Then when you get home, listen to that thing again and again and again. Make it a personal law that you don't listen to any kingdom message just once. Make it a principle that you go back three to five times to eat the scroll until it enters you. Just because you were there, doesn't mean you heard anything. Did they movement on your inside, and all it will take is one instruction. One instruction is how everything explodes. But that seed cannot become a womb until you meditate in it, until you eat it, until you devoid. There are, your answer is inside of these digits.

That's where it is. Your makings inside the message. Get them. Feed on it. Again and again, until life strikes your spirit. You will know something has changed. I'm not thinking the same way I used to. I don't see impossibility. I don't see impossibility. I don't see limitations.

You. Don't be careless with it. From today, make it a discipline. Fight distractions. Sit down with the word of God. Listen. Listen. Listen. As though your life depends on it. Take notes.

Transcribe the message. Take the message and transcribe it. Watch forward. Sit down with it. Pray with it. The messages. Several of them. The VHF videos, the cassettes. He said he would have them on replay. He said there was one particular one.

He he would have listened to it. Over 5,000 times. That's what the man said. He said many years after, many years after. The ministry is that I get some wisdom from it. Revelation, Many years later. Many years later, he was in an airport invited to come and speak in a conference in The US, and he was with my VIP lounge. Because those who invited him to the mass peak at the conference had paid... It was all expense paid. Paid for everything.

Paid for the lounge. Paid for the flight. It was a private aircraft. Wait forever. I was... You see, Isha, I was just there sitting down, just thinking and saying, my God, many years ago, was confused. The man said, in his confusion, he went to the embassy more than five times. And he was denied. He said, how? Are you hearing so much about me?

When you are done with the conference, there's a bishop will be mighty. The woman speak at faith level. At leadership consult. I listen to messages every time. Every time. Every time. What's number one? Number two, be a man of conviction. Be a man of what? Be a man of conviction.

Second Timothy chapter one verse 12. For this reason, I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I'm not ashamed for I know, I know whom I have believed. And I am persuaded that he is able to keep what I've committed to him unto that day. I am know whom I have believed. I am persuaded. Listen to me very carefully, brothers and sisters. You cannot carry weight in this kingdom without conviction. You cannot carry the weight of destiny without conviction. The spirit of God can move upon a man.

But if there is no foundation of persuasion within him, that man will collapse when the winds arise. Conviction is the root system of the believer. It is your stability. It is the handcord that keeps you from being swept away by culture, by pressure, by options. Or by delay even. Romans four verse 20. The Bible said he's tackled not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith. Giving glory to God. Abraham's tackled not. He's tackled not.

Because his spirit had been trained to believe God. Even when it looked foolish to do so. This is what made him the father of faith. Not just that he heard God, but that he stood with what he heard. Conviction is what makes you stand still. What makes you stand still when everyone else is shifting? It is what makes you remain planted when the results you are still burning. Let me tell you, life will test what you say you believe. Don't just say I believe. Life will test what you say will live.

Rejection will test it. Silence from heaven will test it. Delay will test it. But the man of conviction will outlast all of it. What are you convinced about? That is the question. What are you convinced about? Are you convinced that God has a plan for you? Are you convinced about it? Are you convinced that your life is regulated by God?

Are you convinced that your calling is real? Are you convinced that this word being preached to you is your lifeline? Are you convinced about the man of God over your life? Are you convinced about this vision you're a part of? Are you convinced that your destiny is bigger than your background? Are you convinced that God has a plan? And that plan will definitely come to pass. Are you convinced that better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof? Are you convinced? People who are not convinced cannot endure.

They can serve in church for a while. They can worship with us for a while. They can believe with us for a while. But whose results begin to delay a working way. For those who have seen something deeper, those whose hearts are persuaded, they become unmovable. In John chapter six, the Bible says Jesus had just fed 5,000 people. And many were following him because of that miracle. Then he began to teach truths in that same John six. That sounded too hard for them to bear. He said unless you eat my flesh, unless you drink my blood, you have no part in me.

And you know what happened? As they were hearing this truth, he was teaching. The people that hate his food, that followed him because of the miracles. Verse 66 of the hymn chapter, the Bible says, from that time, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. Why did they leave? Because they liked the miracles, but they were not convinced about the man. And Jesus turned to the disciples and asked them, would you also go? But look at the response of Peter in verse 68. He says, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the works of eternal life.

That is conviction. Peter said, this may be hard for me to understand. I don't understand what you are teaching, but I know who you are. I know what I have heard. I'm not going anywhere. That is conviction. And do you know when everybody turn their back on what? You all believe at one time. And everybody start turning one by one. Film, film, film, film, film.

You would be a fool to remain because you wonder, let me not follow them oh. His friends were among those who left. But he stayed there. Young people, listen to me. Students, business people, ministers, listen to me. Life will not always make sense. Write it down. And notice today, life will not always make sense. There will be seasons of confusion. There will be seasons of contradiction.

There will be seasons of testing. What will keep you grounded is not the goosebumps you had in church. What will keep you grounded is conviction. That deep, unshakable, unmovable knowing that says I have head cooked. I have head cooked. And I'm staying with it. When God called Joseph through dreams, everything that followed looked at the opposite. He was betrayed, he was sold, he was falsely accused, he was forgotten. But convict or conviction would not let him give up. He knew there was more to his life.

He knew. That's why he didn't sleep it with Potiphar's wife. And because of fear, it was persuasion. Conviction will keep you holy when temptation presses. Conviction will keep you excellent in school even when others are cheating. Conviction will make you reject shortcuts, reject pride, reject sin. But because of but because you honor God. I've met many young people who are talented, but they are easily tossed around. Every new trend becomes their direction. Every delay makes them question their prophecy.

Every rejection becomes a crisis of identity. Somebody told me this was given leadership position. And the person was giving somebody instruction. Instruction. That's the answer. I mean, you're not starting on anything before. There's no self to even doubt. If one person can make you doubt yourself, he's like priests. There's no foundation upon which that self is standing. One person.

And then after betraying you, left and right, Stabbing people you labor on, stab you in the back. And you wonder how can a human being do this? How can a human being do this? And God will tell you God, God, if you, you must not say a word, bless him. Bless them. You. You. Who are you? To stand at the judge over us. Do you know that Moses could not answer?

He knew in his heart that I should do something and answer when there no staying power. There Anything can convince you, anything can toss you about, anything can toss you around. When there is conviction, you will say like Job, don't you slay me yet will I trust You must carry a conviction that outlives, will not swings, outlives emotional highs and lows. That is how spiritual tie hands are formed. Not by loud tongues, it is by unmovable persuasion. I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded. I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded. I will let them tell you stories when I run after. You will see stories of conviction. Where I stood before people.

Who came to have heard God. Will And told me that the path I am on is not the path God will have me work on. According to the God they heard. Conviction. Conviction. Conviction. I am convinced of the word of God. I am convinced about what the word says about me. If the word of God says this, there is no situation that will make me believe otherwise. I am convinced.

I'm convinced. God has given to me than your circumstances. There's am no problem anyone can bring to me, can face me. I'm What are you convinced about? Is your faith altered in your feelings? Or you need revelation? Do you still believe if what you are believing for takes longer than expected? You still believe. If I came here tomorrow and find five people, do you know I will still be convinced? It it doesn't shake my belief.

I will still shout, welcome to the largest gathering of young people in the world. I will shout because I'm convinced. I will shout because I believe it. What are you convinced about? What are you really convinced about? What do you think you're convinced? Eat until life humbles you and then you'll find out that your faith was Because you will stop giving. Because you gave five times and you did not see the results. You stop giving. Because you prayed for something to happen and answer did not come.

You you, you stop. And you were telling me about somebody who disappointed in God because God could not be so and so and so. And I say what nonsense. Really what nonsense? I would encourage you. I would speak to you. But if you are a Christian, a matured believer, can you come and tell me? God knows that there is nothing I cannot give. Nothing. As long as I contain my power, nothing.

I believe. I may not understand everything. But I am not walking away from this part. I've seen too much. I've heard too much. I'm staying on this path until it makes greatness out of me. I am convinced on what you are making out of me. I might not understand it, but I know I am convinced. I might not see the full picture, but I am convinced. And people might mock me for it.

People might call me stupid for it. People might call me foolish for it. People might say you are making a mistake. But last time I checked, I heard God. I heard God speak to me. And if on the path of hearing God, everyone thinks I'm a fool, then so be it. If on the path of hearing God, everyone thinks I'm not wise, then so be it. I will rather rely on the foolishness of God than on the wisdom of men. For the wisdom of men come to naught. The wisdom of men come to naught.

But if I told you that many years ago, I could not speak like this. I had no worry whatsoever. I had speech defect. I had speech defect. I was a mute stammer. Wasn't severe. But I could not articulate my speech. I struggle to speak. I can't make a full sentence without cutting in between. I was in ministry.

I didn't believe for a long time. Speak like this. And convince. I want you to bow your head and pray, but this is not... This is... I want you to talk to God, and I want you to be very sincere. I want you to be very sincere. The prayer is simple. Help my heart to truly believe what you are doing in my life. I don't want to respond with my feelings.

I don't want it to be based on whether you're handsome or you don't handsome, whether things move or it does not move, whether circumstances change or it doesn't change, whether situations change or it doesn't change. I want I want to truly believe what you're doing beyond the facade, beyond the material. I wanna truly believe. Will you help my heart? Jesus asked that man, do you believe? And the man said, I believe what help my unbelief. Can you lift your voice? Ready. Say, God, can you help me? I don't I I don't wanna say, oh, I'm convinced but then find out when life comes to a distinct that all I had were words.

Can you help me? Can you help me? Can you help me? Can you help me? We believe you were blessed by this message to connect with the Disciples Christian Network and get more from Apostle Emmanuel.
