Transcript: Postures That Governs Dominion
Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.
Just like a soldier, going to battle, Garrett himself with every armor needed for battle and for winning. So believers must guard themselves with the gospel of peace, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Join apostle Emmanuel as he teaches God's word to equip you for a victorious life on earth. This is believers equip. Today, I'm gonna teach on... It would be much like a continuation of what I've been discussing really. On Tuesdays and on Sundays, Just take it a step further. The title I would have wanted to give it would have been too long. Hence, I've decided to collect postures that govern dominion. Postures that govern dominion.
And perhaps you're interested in the long one, you can put hyphen. The heart of a lion, the utterance of the mighty, the visage of the colossus. The heart of a lion. The utterance of the mighty. The visage of a colossus. It is declared usually in prophecies and words are spoken but a lot of people never understand their sense of what has been discussed. And so, we'll discuss that subject in what I've in what we are we will be calling postures. That govern dominion. Postures that govern dominion. Prophecy you see is powerful.
Prophecy you see is powerful, right? The promises we see in scriptures are powerful. Every time that we come here and words are declared, every encounter that you receive from scripture by revelation of the word. When the word of God is lightened into your spirit or words are spoken over you, the power of God comes upon you. Impartations, all of these things you see, when they happen like that, they are very powerful, they are capable of changing things in the now. Are you with me? But you have to understand that prophecy does not find expression automatically. Prophecy does not fulfill itself. I think this is where a lot of believers have problems because they think that the moment the words have been spoken, you just give it some time and the word would find expression. But a careful and a diligent study of scriptures will show you that this is not entirely true.
Are you with me? The spirit of God may open the heavens over a man and declare his future. But that future can remain locked in the realm of the spirit. If he does not understand the postures that govern dominion, the principles of manifestation. The scripture is full of men who carried undeniable prophecies. Yet they never walked into them. Not because God was unfaithful. But because they failed to align themselves with the laws that convert prophecy into possession. So there is someone sitting in this place today carrying prophetic words over their lives that are years old, many years old. Words that were spoken over your life with such precision, with such detail, such divine authority that you knew beyond any doubt that these things came from heaven.
Yet those words remain dormant. You remember the moment it came. You remember how that the prophet looked at you. How that the spirit was moving. The declarations brought forth about your destiny, about your calling, about your inheritance. It was so strong in your spirit. You were reading your Bible and then scripture suddenly came alive. You knew that this was you. You wrote it down in the Bible. You've meditated on them.
You've prayed them over your lives. You've quoted them back to God. All of which are important and are very good. But it looks as though they remain stubbornly locked in the realm of the spirit. Whilst nothing changes in the physical. You know you are called to influence nations. You know you've been told that you will lead multitudes. Prophets have declared you will operate in supernatural breakthrough. That's where the problem lies. The gap between what God has said and what you are experiencing.
That chasm between what was declared and the manifestation of the same. Look at Israel. If anyone in scripture will break into what God has promised, it should be Israel. They had everything. They had a rich heritage of spiritual capital. They had the clearest promise any nation would ever receive from God. God himself was the one who swore by covenant to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. That their descendants would inherit a land flowing with milk and honey. The land was surveyed. They saw it.
The produce of this land was described in detail. And God painted the pictures of the richness of that land to them in detail. Cities already built, God told them. Wells already dug. Vineyards already planted. Yet a old generation who had this promise died in the wilderness and never touched Canaan. Because the promise was sure. But the people lacked the posture to inherit it. This is the tension that many of us live in. Prophecies and promises hanging over our lives like clouds that are filled with rain.
Will the grounds remain dry? God has shown you pictures of enlargement. God has shown you pictures of expansion of influence, of abundance. You've had dreams that have confirmed it. Hands have been laid on you. Words have been spoken into your spirit. Yet, years begin to pass and nothing seems to break forth. The problem I tell you is not with the promise. The problem is that prophecies don't fulfill themselves. And believers, please understand this.
Prophecies do not fulfill themselves. Prophecies do not fulfill themselves. Thank you Jesus. In first Timothy chapter one verse 18, the new King James version, Paul was the one who was charging Timothy. And he said, this charge I commit to you, son Timothy. According to the prophecies made concerning you. Can you see this? According to the prophecies made concerning you, that by them, what is the them? You may wage the good warfare. In other words, prophecy is a weapon of war.
Prophecy is not a guarantee of ease. If you do not fight, if you do not apply principles, if you do not take a certain posture, prophecy remains just just something you were told, not something nice you were told. As a matter of fact, if you do not do something about what was spoken over your life, if you don't understand the postures of dominion, the postures that make for dominion, if you do not do something about what was spoken about your life, what happens is that prophecy becomes like an encouragement. You know what encouragement are? The things you tell someone to make them feel good. In and of itself have no power to perform. You come to tell someone that it is just to rob their house. Hey, Sorry. Sorry. Don't worry.
Don't worry. Things will get better. Don't worry. Then you come to someone whose son just passed away and tell him ah. Ah. Hey. Sorry. Sorry. Don't worry. Don't worry.
God will give you a nation. God will give you a nation. Don't worry. God will console you. Not both for your trouble. That can be prophecy and that can be encouragement. Prophetic words to many people have become encouragement. Just something that you tell them to lift their hope. To make them hope for the future. Make them not not die Or give up now.
Don't mean they will not give up tomorrow, but not not now. And if tomorrow comes and they want to give up again, come with that encouragement again. The time will definitely come when you become tired of encouragement that don't perform. When you become tired of encouragement that don't produce results. Isn't that right? Yes sir. When you come to each other and tell them God is saying that there's an anger drain. Man of God, don't give up. Don't give up. God is saying that the crowd is coming.
Thousands are coming. And then you the man of God receives it. Then you are invited to go and speak there the following year, you still meet the same 10 people that received your prophecy last year. And you come again telling them, God is saying. All you would do, all that word becomes, even though it might be genuinely inspired by the spirit of God. To that man of God, he will just encourage him if he does nothing about what he has heard. Because prophecy does not fulfill itself. And believers need to understand this. And when words are spoken over you, there is responsibility, there are postures that you have to take instantly. I'm trusting God that these things that you're hearing will not escape your ears.
I am really trusting God. Because there are some kinds of results I want to see in your life with speed. That's the reason why words are spoken, that's the reason why hands are lit, that's the reason why teachings are done even. To bring you into a place of equipping, I mean it's called believers equip. It's called the experience. All these names are not names of a program, they are names of a function, it's what is happening. It describes an experience, describes what is happening to you. Are you with me brothers and sisters? So you must understand that there is something I want to see, results that must be seen and you must understand that it results will come. Through the forces of the rain and the dew.
I think I have a teaching like that. Glory to God. That you will be taught but that empowerment would also come upon you. That you will be taught but that you are also increased, that you are also empowered. The purpose of the teaching is so that you do something with the empowerment. And you become highly powerful but locked in a room. A certain prophet of God whose story I heard was praying on the mountain for ten years. And what he was asking God for was power. And he never came down the mountain. He told God that he would not drop down this mountain.
If the power of God does not rest upon his life. Many years he was there and he kept on praying with years of fasting involved. He was already becoming so lanking, so old because he started this quite late. Was already becoming so old. On that mountain, say Olowa, Adbar. And God has told him, young man I've called you to be a minister of power, I've called you to be, to minister life to the world, to be an agent and a force of deliverance. And he said I cannot go without power, so he went to the mountain, locked himself there for many years and say, not only I know that I've received power. And he stayed there. Just stayed there. And years were going, years were going, years were going.
One day he was just praying on the mountain, on the mountain. And he was fasting, he was weak. And he couldn't walk well, couldn't see well. He was still praying the same prayer. May God give me that kind of hunger. Amen. Because we need it. And he just kept on praying. I live for the one I love. The one I love before Hear me.
So he kept on praying for papa. So while he was walking on that fateful day, it was a mountain top. He slept on the mountain. And he started tumbling down. Tumbling down. And he thought to himself, this is the end while he was going. Tumbling down with so much pain around his body, just tumbling down. Lined up on the foot of that mountain as you go up and climb the mountain, there were people who begged. With various kind of afflictions, some of them were lepros, some of them were blind, some of them were lame, some of them amputated legs, all kinds of infirmities had befallen them. And they just come there to beg because they know that sudden influential people would come there to pray.
And as he tumbled, he reached the foot of the mountain. I realized he wasn't dead. So he stood up and while he was amazed that the fact that he wasn't dead, he was more amazed that everybody who was sick had been healed. That as he tumbled down, whether his body touched them or he brisked back them, something was flowing from him and was just touching them and the blind started seeing and the lame started walking and the one whose legs was amputated, legs grew out and the ones whose limbs were amputated, limbs grew out and the ones who were deaf started hearing and the ones milk started speaking and it was just a cascade of miracles. It was just something strange that had happened. There was a revival in the foot of the mountain where people were praying on the mountain. Because a man had tumbled down that mountain. Moses sat there realized that he had had that power all along, but he would never know because he prayed for no one. And the angel had to push him off the mountain to just show him that you have something in you. He was already he was already a power point all along.
He was already engrossed in power, endured with power, sucked in glory, but he he he was still on that mountain praying. He was still on that mountain fasting, and God was saying, can you just move? Can you do something? How else would you know that I've ingraced you with so much power? Can you do something? And this man would still pray, Lord, power. Lord, power. Lord power. Lord power. Imagine you go to someone and you ask them for a car and the person gives you money for a car.
And the deposit is the money in your account. All you have to do is to go and withdraw the money and buy a car. But every time you come, you see ask for money for a car. You say ask for a car. You say ask for a car. A time comes, start wondering, oh God, can't you just withdraw this money and get yourself a car? Because all that you need has been given to you. That's the same way the prophetic word is with many people. It is soaked, soaked, ready to pour out something. Ready to pour out something.
But the man remained. And angels, angels had to come and push. Emmanuel God was telling me a story. You see, when if sustain several injuries, just for God to show him that there's power in your life. Almost became like them those that he was healing because God wanted to show him. That there is power in your life. A man of God said that if you do not understand this thing and move by yourself, God will move you. And when God moves you, It's not always a funny story. It will be easier to just understand and move on your own accord. Because when God moves you, the circumstances that lead to the movement are not always pleasant.
God has been telling you, you are you are in this, you are in this small place where you are comfortable. And God has been enlarging your heart and telling you, go and expand, go and get somewhere else, go go to a bigger place, go to a this, go to a that. And you begin... You keep on thinking of all the limitations, the stress of moving, the money is not there yet. All these things are not there yet. And besides, why should you be in a prayer or or need to move when you you have a place you are using is comfortable for you, but it's not comfortable for what God wants to do. It's not comfortable for the prophetic word that must manifest right now in your life. It's not comfortable for the rivers that have been locked within your spirit that are looking for entry points to move out. It's not comfortable for all of that. And so God begins to talk upon your heart.
Talk upon your heart. Step out. Move out. Go out. Do something. But then the man keeps on keeps on limiting God when he... In his mind. And if you don't move, God will move you. You would come one day and they will tell you that that venue has been sold off. All you would find is that your equipment are outside.
Your properties are outside. Until you have no choice but to move. You see, at that point, in that movement, you will eventually see God. Because that place we wanted to take you to, you will now get there. This time you will, you have no choice but to move by faith. You either stop the ministry at that point or move by faith. Amen. You either give up at that point or move by faith. And if you move by faith, the same thing God had wanted to do in your life all along for why you have been talking upon your heart, you would eventually see, but you would see with so much pressure, so much distress. Man of God said that God had told him to go and build his house.
Like, he told his wife, we'll stay here for just a year or two and then we'll go and build. But he became so comfortable. He's been there for more than two years. And God had been putting him in his heart. It's time to leave this place. But ah, it's comfortable. My meetings are old and whole. Then the landlord came and just gave me a quick notice. Leave here in one month. Pack yourself, pack your wife, pack your family, pack your then you would you would be on the street.
Whereas you had the time to move all along. God can move men oh. And when he moves men, when he moves men. Hey God. You wish that you had obeyed earlier. Because you could sustain injuries in that movement. Even though it will lead to an expansion. Even though it will lead to an enlargement. God can move men. There was a point in this ministry that God moved us.
Because he had told us to move. He told us, get out of the university of Ibadan. And we partially left. And partially remained. Because we thought for where our meetings we hold. I mean the place for Riazas and all of these things. It's not okay to just... I mean, if we have this place, why leave everything and just go? We're having meetings here and say, hey, you know, it will be difficult for people to come all the way to this place for believers equip, all kind of this. You know what?
Let us sustain that place. If only we had left. Because God came and God moved. That we had no choice but to all the things we were thinking, where will we keep our equipment? Where will we keep? Every those things were sorted out. After God moved. In other words, it was not as though there was no place to keep them. It was just that your heart was timid to move. What I'm trying to paint for you is a picture of a man.
Who must understand that when heaven starts to scream over your life, who must understand that when the spirit of God starts to blow over your life, who must understand that when the horns of Zion are sounded over your life and it is time for an appearance, When Kairos moments come, you must understand that prophecies do not appear, do not manifest in and of themselves. So he says, make warfare with these prophecies. Make warfare with these prophecies. That's why you would make believers who are loaded with potential. Rich with prophecies and promises. Yet their lives are barren of results. They can quote what God has said but cannot point to what God has done through them and in them. And this is not because God lied. It is because they never learned how to convert the spoken word into a living reality. And that is where the urgency comes.
That there are postures that govern manifestation and dominion. There are laws that take prophecy from the realm of utterance into the realm of evidence. That without them, you can hear God and you can see visions and you can receive impartations and still die unfulfilled. But with them, you will break into the reality of all that has been spoken over your life. What I want to do in this teaching is to uncover those principles and those postures. Three pillars, three postures upon which the manifestation of prophecy rests upon. And these are laws. Until your life aligns with them, prophecy will remain like Canaan. Described to you but never entered. Promise to you but never possessed.
But once you align yourself, you will see that every word God has spoken over you is alive. Waiting for the man that dares to walk in the principles. That dare to take the posture that unlocks them. Number one, the heart of a lion. This is the first posture that a man who wants to see prophecy manifested in his life. With the speed and the urgency to which the prophecy came. You want to see prophecy manifested. This is what the man must do. This is a posture a man must put himself. The heart of a lion.
I am. The heart of a lion. Do you know that the lion is not the strongest animal in the jungle? There are animas stronger than the lion. Do you know the lion is not the fastest animal in the jungle? Yes sir. There are animas faster than the lion. Yes sir. Do you know that the lion is not the biggest animal in the jungle? There are animas bigger than the lion.
And so in Deuteronomy chapter seven, is it verse one, let me see it. The Bible says, when the Lord your God brings you into the land which you go to possess. And has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites, the Gingashites, the Hamorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Evites, the Jebusites, seven nations. Greater than you. Seven nations mightier than you. Seven nations greater than you. Seven nations mightier than you. It means the scope of what God gives you to possess is always greater than you. Is always mightier than you. Is always bigger than you.
The boundaries of your dominion will always extend farther than you. The extent of your possibilities will always be mightier than you And so is the opposition that stands in your front. It would be seven nations, seven mountains, greater, seven nations, seven mountains, mightier than you. Hence why I said the lion is not the fastest. The lion is not the biggest. The lion is not the strongest. But when the Bible is comparing believers, the Bible says that the righteous is as bold as a lion. Not as fast as a lion. Not even as strong as a lion. Not as big as a lion?
Yes, sir. Because if that were the indices, the lion would not would have been a very poor example to have used. Yet the lion is referred to as the king of the jungle. But it's not the fastest. It is not the strongest. It is not the biggest. If it were a war of strength, the lion would lose. If it were a war of speed, the lion would lose. The cheetah will dust the lion in speed. If it were a war of size, of magnitude, the elephant would trample upon the lion.
And you would think that these are all creatures, magnificent creatures. That the believer should be compared to. But no, it's the lion. Because what gives the lion its kingly position and authority is not his strength. Is not his speed. It's not his size. It is its audacity. That's what makes lion the king. It is its audacity. That even when he stands in front of an elephant that is obviously bigger.
Audacity. When he stands in front of a tiger, obviously stronger. Audacity. That even those bigger would pick race. All because they saw someone with audacity. And the Bible begins to explain this attitude about the lion. How that it's a beast and amongst every other beast, it doesn't turn away from anything. It doesn't turn away for anyone. That is why the Bible compares the believer to a lion. And the Bible makes it clear that just like the lion, there are nations greater than you.
There are nations mightier than you. The nations have sent you to go and possess. The land I've told you will occupy. The people there are greater, bigger, mightier than you. Hence the reason why you are as bold as a lion. Because you will not turn away when you see them. Big as they may be, you will stand strong with audacity. Strong as they may be, fast as they may be. You will stand strong with audacity. That is the quality of the lion that makes him a king.
It means kingship is forced a matter of audacity. It means it is audacity and boldness that enthrones men. Not timidity. When you get to a gathering of people, you just carry 100 people and just drop them in a place. Somebody will be will become a leader almost immediately. And not because somebody appointed him so. It is because he's the one that has the audacity to say, alright, why we're just standing here? Can we get something to do? Let's, can you go and get woods, go and get this, go and get that. And he's just acting.
And without anybody employing him or making him a leader, everybody start seeing him as such. Everybody start seeing him as such. The only difference is that he's the one that has boldness. He's the one that has audacity to step into that position and start taking initiative almost instantly. Without fear of what anybody would think. Without fear of what anybody would say. And immediately, in the heart of every man is enthroned. Enthroned as a class class captain, enthroned as a president, enthroned as a governor, enthroned as an MD, enthroned and put in the position of power and authority. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's someone listening to me that prophecy is already hanging over your head.
God has spoken enlargement. God has spoken increase. God has spoken nations. But the reason why it looks as though nothing is moving is because you are still timid in your mind. There is no audacity, there is no boldness. You want Canaan with the heart of a grasshopper. Why was it difficult for these people to take Canaan? They said we were like grasshoppers. And God says, how do you call yourself grasshoppers? And every man that called himself a grasshopper died there.
It means grasshopper don't take Canaan. You can't be contesting for big things with the heart of a grasshopper. When big money looks like a challenge to you. I told my people to listen to a message and the man of God in that message was mentioning very large numbers. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Millions upon millions of money. Projects going to millions that people are giving, that people are, that he himself had to give, stretch himself to give and all of these things. And and and the young man told me, he said, sir, I could not listen to that message. It was hard. I said, what do you mean it was hard?
He said, I I just could not bring my, it was too hard. What was hard? The highest amount of money that the man of God mentioned in the message was a 100 millionaire. He cannot buy land. But it is hard for you to hear. Can't you see that you have already you have already determined the extent of your largeness in your heart? Either you have already determined the extent of your largeness in your own heart. It is obvious that you are a grasshopper. I've had. So the question is when a man becomes a grasshopper, when a woman is a grasshopper at heart, what can you chew?
What is your allotment in life? What is your allotment in destiny? What can a grasshopper eat? What the kind of result you would see as as sprinkles. Trinkle, trinklets. That's what you see because you are a grasshopper at heart. So you did, you can only move the movement of grasshoppers. You can only walk the walkings of grasshopper. You can only talk the talkings of grasshoppers. And so you can only receive the allotment of grasshoppers.
Because those with grasshoppers mentality do not take mountains. That's why you are that's why that's why all the opportunities you will ever be contending for is 50 ks, 20 ks, 30 ks. And then that that is all your mind can picture. That's all your mind can see. If somebody ever sends you an SA competition that they tell you that the price is 10,000,000 naira here. Something in you is already defeated even before you start writing. Because begin to wonder that amount of money is... Your your mind cannot picture you inside that context because what you have is the heart of a grasshopper. So when you go and spy the land, what you see is obstacles, obstructions everywhere. Imagine that grasshoppers are hungry and they say, let's go and find food.
And you point them to where food is and they get to where food is and they see elephants. They see buffaloes there. They will come back and they will tell you that there is food there oh. But did you see the sight of that food? This ones, they just step on us once and we are dead. Imagine that lions were having this any conversation. And they said, that we are hungry. And you point them to a place where food is, and they see buffalo's there. They start rejoicing. The buffalo's are obviously bigger than they are.
Yet they start rejoicing. I'm telling you that if the first thing you see are obstacles, it depend... It it shows you where your heart is. If the first thing you see is what... Why it could not be done? Why it can't be done? Why I should not apply? Why I should not step forward? Why I should not ask? Why I should not move?
It shows you where your heart is. And if that's where your heart is, prophecies of enlargement will be upon you like this. It will be soaking. It will be resting. It will be tugging. God will want to break out. But by yourself. You will realize that there will be no manifestation whatsoever. There will be no manifestation whatsoever. God had to come to Joshua and tell him again and again, again and again.
It it it became something God was reemphasizing. I'm going to use certain certain people in scriptures to show you these three things. That became the thing that God was emphasizing over and over and over. Be strong and courageous. Be strong and courageous. Be strong and courageous. Be strong and courageous. Destiny belongs to those who are bold and courageous. Destiny belongs to those who have the heart of a lion within them. I heard the spirit of a young man.
Are you with me? He said, he wanted to deliver a proposal to a huge school. He was a international British school. Somewhere in the country. The school was so huge and so big. That the security systems in the school would not even allow an ordinary man enter. They build the school was so huge, it had different blocks. You cannot go into block A from block B without having a tag of block B. That after several securities people vet you, they then give you a tag of where the the block you are going. So it means you cannot, you don't have any business in block C or block D, it means, it means you cannot see the management because the management is in a particular block.
Do you understand what I'm saying? The first time he went there, he told them that he had a proposal to give, he told the security, had a proposal to give, and when can I meet with who is in charge, the security said, okay, no, you you cannot meet with anybody here? Go and drop your proposal there. Show them a box. And then he went there, opened the box and saw several proposals. Several letters, several documents inside the box. He knew that if he drops this thing in this place, it will die in this place. He said the come, he took his thing and went. Then one day, his sister who had a big car, told him to go and help her to clean the car. So he took his proposal.
Enter the car to go and clean it. Then after cleaning it, went to the school, took a detour to the school. The moment they saw the car, they allowed him enter. Said, what do you, what do you do? He said I came here, I came here to see a nephew of mine, I think that's not what he said. A nephew of mine, and then they gave him a tag for the Block C, which is where the students or all all those people, the person they came to see was. And he directed him there. When they got there, realize that the people you need to see are not here. Looked around a bit, walked around, expanded his mind a little bit. Then walked to a teacher and said, oh god, I I didn't come here to see any nephew.
I have something that can change this school, this is why I came. Told the teacher what he said. Teacher looked at him and just smiled and said Kai. And took him. To someone in block B or block A or whatever. Negotiate with the person. Exchange tax. Took him to the author of the management. Saw the head of the school. The head of the school invited the person that he needs to meet, they pitched to them, they accepted immediately.
Immediately. That's the heart of a lion. That's the boldness it takes to sign big deals and big contracts. That's the boldness it takes. One of my daughters messaged me and told me that a renowned figure had just been had just been made king in a particular territory. Royalty, crowned royalty. And that she would like to cover the event as a media partner. When the ordination happens. And she told me, she doesn't know what to do, but then she spoke to someone about her desire. And the person said I know the house of the person that was crowned.
Let's go there. He said sir, what do I, I said go. The worst that will happen is that they will say you should go back. But boy will not go. March. She went there. Securities everywhere had expected his royalty. Securities everywhere. And she approached them and told them audaciously what she wanted to do. They matched her into the palace.
Sat down. They said, the king is not on, but you can meet his aid. Told the aid what she wanted to do. The aid said no problem. Gave her his number. Say you know what? Reach out back to me. I I like your audacity. I like your boldness. Reach back to her.
And told her, we are configuring you already for this thing. We are at the final phase already. We'll get back to you. That is already hers. It already has. As words have been spoken, it will not meet her in a room. It would meet her as she was walking to that palace. It would meet her as she was talking to that man. It would meet her as you... It takes boldness.
It is the heart of a lion. Do you understand what I'm telling you? This is the reason why destinies are being crippled. It's not because God could not move. It's not because prophecy was not hanging. It's not because God could not do it. Do you know how many things we wanted to do in this ministry that required boldness to do? Because of the amount of money that would be needed to do it. And at that point, we have not spent that amount of money ever before. And we'll be moving.
Get this, get that, go and do that, go and do this. The heart of a lion. You will walk into offices. Where you should not even walk into. Because your age would not allow. But you're not going there by your age. Because God has already told you that the lands you are conquering are greater. There's no there's no fools about it. So it means when you get there and you see it big and huge. Don't be surprised.
That was what God said. But added to that big and huge, he now said I've given it to you. The heart of a lion moves to conquer regardless of the opposition. Move to conquer regardless of the opposition. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Only lion hearted men step forward to claim what God has promised. One of my sons registered for particular competition. Not in Nigeria. And the first thought that will come to somebody's heart is, they are giving you millions of naira. In grants and investment and it's not even in Nigeria, they would, they would consider the indigen of that territory even before they start considering you.
And he was the only one that came from Nigeria by the competition, I think, I'm not sure but I think so. He entered into the competitive process. At the end of everything, when they were announcing, during the final day of the competition, everybody from that from that nation were there, he could not go. He was in Nigeria. They announced the first runner, second runner, when it was time for who won the the competition, they said, we all know that there is none other than this fellow and they mentioned his name. It could not be here today but we will deliver his reward to him. Right from Nigeria, right from Ibadan, right from this city. Do you have the boldness it takes? To put yourself where kings will see you. Or would you hide somewhere at the back?
Even though you know that you have the capacity to move mountains. You know that you are the one that they meet. But they don't know you. Do you have the heart of a lion to introduce yourself? Just to introduce yourself. Or even in doing that, your heart is already crippled. Your legs are shaking, you're almost pinned your palm because you want to meet someone. There's no human being here that should heaven make you tremble. There's no human being on this earth. That should ever make you tremble.
No matter how high in influence they are, no matter how high in relevance they are. Ah, we'll get there very soon. In the visage of a colossus. There is no human being here on earth. What you should ever meet and then you become... You start salivating, you start palpitating. Your heart is palpitating. You can't breathe well. You're saying, oh my god. Oh my god.
For a human being. For a human being. Come on now. You go there with boldness. Even if it is someone you look up to in your field of influence, and God gives you access to meet them. When you meet them, you speak with confidence. You carry yourself with dignity. The heart of a lion. As you are speaking, you are speaking in honor and in value. But speaking boldly.
Oh, I've read your resources, I've read this, I've read this, I was so inspired when you spoke about this, when you spoke about that. Thank you so much, you've been a blessing in this field. You've been a blessing in this field and all of that and then you speak. And whilst the person is speaking to you and telling you or all sort of things, you say, oh wow. You you you share the same thought with my man of God. You have to meet him. He said, really? Yes. It is not a difficult thing. You only have to have the boldness enough to speak in the first instance, to open it in the first instance.
But when you are timid, you will not experience the filling up because you cannot even open the mouth. Because you can't even open the mouth to begin with. Are you even brothers and sisters? In a workplace that fear keeps you silent. Promise you a promotion, month have passed. You keep on waiting but your mouth is closed and God is saying, arise, go and demand for what is yours. Life bows to men that move. But because fear grips your heart, you stay back. Watching weaker men take over you. Watching weaker men overtake you.
Without the lion heart, prophecy stalls. Prophecy stalls. It takes the heart of a lamb to face Pharaoh. You face Pharaoh without flinging and Moses walks back into Egypt, the land where he was once a fugitive and stood before the throne of the most feared man alive. Exodus seven verse one, the Bible says, so the Lord said to Moses, see I have made you as God to Pharaoh. I have made you as God to Pharaoh. A heart of a lion. I've made you as God to Pharaoh. So was was was Pharaoh powerful? Was Pharaoh influential?
Did he have the strength of a thousand army? Yes, he did. One word and he could crumble the life of Moses. A spear could be thrown from the palace. He is dead. He was obviously mightier. He was obviously greater. But there was something God revealed to him. I have made you a God to That is prophecy. Is that not so?
That is a reality already. But you would still require boldness to believe and to move. Because being a God to Pharaoh is one thing. Believing it and moving there is one thing. That's how God has made you a call to the system of this world oh. But you are too afraid to step out to realize it. You are too afraid to step out to experience it. And then you crumble be... You crumble before what God has made you a God over. Start that venture.
Register that business. Step out of obscurity. But fear keeps saying, what if it fails? What if it fails? What if they laugh at me? And so you sit down with your dreams in your chest, Never daring to roar, never dying to move. Listen to me, ideas without courage die unborn. It is the heart of a lion that makes your vision flesh. David had prophecy hanging over his life. Samuel poured oil on the man and declared him king.
But nobody knew that he was king. All that ceremony happened in one backyard. He was anointed king. The replacement to the current king. He had nobody knew he had been anointed. Other than his brothers. Is it his brothers who were envious of him that would go and be announcing their brother with anointed king? That prophecy was waiting for movement. And on this faithful day, Goliath was shouting and screaming and doing all kind of things. Do you have the boldness it takes to introduce yourself?
To say hello, I'm this and I'm good at this. I'm the answer you are looking for. I can solve your problems. The heart of a lion. God has put it in your heart. Start that YouTube show or whatever it is. There's a message in your spirit that you can share on social media. Open that YouTube channel. Write that book. Write that book.
Step out and move. But all kinds of crippling fear in the heart. But I don't have everything right now. But these people have already gone. Ah, this person is doing what I'm doing. They can be there. Occupying the land that God has shown you. But the land, it doesn't change the fact that the land is yours. No. Doesn't.
It doesn't in any way change the fact that the land is yours. David got to the ground where the war was happening. When he got there, he said what is happening? And they told him what is happening? The first question he asked is, what is the reward? What will the king do? For the one who can take down this giant. It means the guy knew, he knew that I can, I can do it? This is not... He knew.
He knew. While he was asking all these questions, his brother were already hungry, already telling him, will you go back with you? Do you have what it takes? Despite obvious opposition. That's the mean of courage. Obvious opposition. Obvious opposition. But you move regardless. Are you with me brothers and sisters? God has told you I will use you in healing and miracles.
I will demonstrate my power in your life. But you are too timid to even pray for headache. You shy away because you are afraid. What if nothing happens? What if not? That thing has destroyed so many people's lives. But you will never see the power of God if you don't dare to lay hands. Boldness unlocks virtue. Peter looked at the crippled man and said, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. If there is anybody who should not speak, it should be Peter and his disciples.
Because they've tried it before. And it did not work. They came to Jesus and told Jesus, why your disciples have tried to heal this man, but they didn't get it. That wasn't the first time he was failing. This guy attempted to walk on water. He started sinking in water. And when it was time to heal the sick, you would expect that the devil will start painting pictures. You remember that epileptic man. That's how you said in the name of Jesus. You no go.
Remember when you were trying to walk, that's how you try, try, try. You sink. Are still not standing here. You are still now. No. The heart of a lion. Such as I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus. Rise up and walk. And when the man kept on looking at them, they said, but it will not happen is a lie.
They held his hand and pulled him up. How certain must they be? It takes boldness oh. Takes boldness. I remember those days. I would fast and pray because I wanted to see the power of God manifest. I had seen it in scriptures that God would make the words in my mouth like fire. I had seen it in scriptures that whilst Peter yet spoke these words, the holy ghost came upon them. I've seen it in scriptures that a man can be speaking, and the holy ghost will be coming upon people. But I was not seeing it in my life.
I wanted to. I kept on praying. I kept on fasting. I remember one event I had. Was invited to preach in a fellowship. I went to the mountain three days fasting and prayer. And I went there, came from the mountain, and preached all through, and there was no wind. There was nothing. Nobody went up in body power. No miracle.
No healing. People just heard me, and they clapped when I was done. I was so annoyed. That's not what I saw in scripture. They didn't clap for Peter. Holy ghost came upon them. Why are they clapping for me? Why are they clapping for me? We'll go and pray again in chapel. And whilst I'm praying, I will be integrating my mind with pictures.
Pictures of the things I want to see manifested physically. Whilst I'm praying, I will close my eyes, and I will see myself in meetings. Those same meetings, telling myself that a sick man here, a a layman here, a blind man here, your eyes are opening. I will see myself walking in world of knowledge, walking in prophecies. Will I see myself telling people, there are 15 people here. The power of God is coming upon you. In the name of Jesus, receive that power. And I would see my visions. The power of God coming upon people. One after the other.
One after the other. And I would see overflows of people. Receiving the power of God. The pictures became stronger. The picture became stronger. The the more stronger it was, the more I prayed. The more I prayed. And one day I was invited to a meeting like that. And I was preaching. I was worshiping God.
I could see that the power of God was there. I could see. I could see. It was obvious. The power of God was tangible. I was worshiping. I was praying. I was doing all kind of things, and they started teaching. The power of God was even stronger. I was almost about to conclude, and something was in my heart.
Tell the sick they are healed. Just say it. Tell them they are healed. Just say it. I... It it kept on moving in my heart. I will wave it by. It would come again. There are 30 people that God is touching. Just tell them God is touching them.
Just say it. I will think about it. I will say, what if what if nothing happens? What if I call them out now and say, if you are healed, come out. And nobody now comes out. How would I stand here and nobody will come? I just kept quiet. I kept on speaking because I've not seen it before. I've not seen it before. It had never happened to me, and it was a large meeting with people at the overflow.
How would I now be embarrassed in this meeting? How would I be embarrassed in this meeting? I just waved it by. I kept on talking. I was hearing the name in my spirit. There's someone whose name is Mary. The mother had a piece. He said, ah, just just move it by. And while I was just praying and saying, father, we thank you. I just announced.
It took every energy, every incline of boldness within me. I just said it. There are 30 people here. The power of God is coming upon. Before I finish speaking, from outside to inside, power broke out mercilessly. I saw demons crying out. Voices of women changing. They could not hold some of them down. Legions manifested. Deliverance is everywhere.
Asthma healed. Tumors disappearing. I said, what? All it required was for me to speak. And I was there thinking, what if? What if? What if? What if? The heart of a lion. God wanted to move.
He wanted to move. You mean, if those people have not been delivered, it would not be because God could not deliver them. It takes boldness to move in power. It takes boldness. The heart of a lion. Sit down. We're speaking. Heart of Elio. I remember a contract I wanted to get many years ago. Very small money.
Open 5 millionaire. Ridiculous amount of money to me now. But then it looks so huge. It wasn't $15,000,000, it was 600,000 naira. I could do the project for that amount of money. But I knew in my heart that this thing is worth 1,500,000. But that 1,500,000, about then, looked so big in my eyes. I started wondering if I called 1,500,000 for this person now. They will just walk out. What if they don't give me the project?
What if they don't give me the this? I said, Kai. And then I just received the wisdom. I said, you know what? Because I was still afraid, but I was still moving. There was still there was still on assurance day, but I was still moving. I was still working. What I did not do is not do anything. No. I just called one ridiculous morning because I was too afraid.
No. I was moving. I drafted a proposal. And the 600,000 naira that my heart was large enough to receive, I put it there. As the first package. Then I say, you know what? Let me now put a $1,900,000 naira package and $11,500,000 naira package and just give it to the client. At least I know I can still collect some 100 k. It's still good for where I am. I just sent it.
And the client saw everything and told me, you know what? Let's go for the 1,500,000. I said, k. Would have started from there. I would have started from there. Without a single argument whatsoever, The deal was struck. And there was I thinking my God. What if I had not moved? What if I had not spoken? You will keep on wondering what ifs if you do because you never move.
It's when you move, you see. Taste and see the Lord is good. It's when you move, you see. Some of you are denying yourself of the provision, the power, the life of God that you would have seen. There are greater testimony you would have had. There are greater results you would have seen. If you have asked for more. If you have demanded more from life. Stop giving me pennies. Bring the billions.
There are more results you would have seen. Somebody's leaving here and they are seeing it. Help them. It takes a lion heart to give when luck is staring at you right like this. Takes a lion heart to give. That widow had only one handful of flour left. But when Elijah said, make me a small cake from it first. She obeyed very boldly. That act of courage is what unlocked supernatural supply that she was meant to just eat that and die. Some of you are still managing because you are not bold enough to give.
So you confine yourself into a destiny of management. Because you are wondering if I give this now, what will happen? Give and see first. Stop playing games with God. Step out. Jump into the sea. Jump into the sea. Lift the boat of comfort. Lift the boat of safety. Leave that boat of safety.
Plunge and see what happens. Plunge consistently and see what happens. Sir. It takes boldness. Sir. You know there are divisions in life that requires boldness. Now you will never realize that this is the heart of a lion. You just keep it by. Look at for example, Peter, married man. Had responsibilities to his wife.
Was a fisherman. That was the job he was doing. To make a living for himself, to take care of that wife. There are responsibilities too. And Jesus meets him one day and says, that thing they are using to walk, give it to me. That boat that makes you a living, give it to me. That thing that ends you a living, give it to me. That thing you have depended on all your life to fetch you profit and to fetch you money, give it to me. And when he handed over the boat to Jesus, Jesus preached. And Jesus told him now, cast, cast the net upon the waters.
And as he did, he brought out so many. So many fishes. And says, hey, just as he was thinking we have hammered. Jesus turned to him and tell him, follow me. In other words, leave everything. He didn't even have the chance to spend it, to sell it, to Jesus tells him, leave everything behind and follow me. What is the assurance that anything good will come out of my life? I just met you today. Is it because you have say you just by one lock or by one chance, maybe you understood fishing more than me and you knew where the fishes would be And tell me just cast. Now I should just leave everything.
How about my wife? How will she eat? Follow me. And when Jesus asked him some years after, three years after, the question was when I sent you, lackest thou anything. And all of them said, what do I, they, they, they, they thought about it deeply and said, my goodness, we lack nothing. We lack nothing. And the life that he had in Christ was greater and bigger than what would have become of him or gained that boat. Imagine he did not have the strength to give that boat. Imagine that he thought to himself, how would I take care of my family? How would I if I just follow him?
The heart of a lion is required to take certain destiny decisions. Get out of your father's house. The heart of a lion. Go and get a house for yourself. The heart of a lion. Go and get married. The heart of a lion. Some young men here are crippled. They don't want to marry because they lack the heart of a lion. This is not yet time.
We are at his grasshopper that is speaking. The question is, when the grasshopper is saying it's not yet time, when will it become time? There's a height you can never grow beyond. So when will it become time? To go and hunt. When will it become time? To go and get it. When will it become time? To move. And there are young men who are delaying themselves in life and destiny.
Who don't want to make steps that they are supposed to make in life and destiny. I mean you're already a graduate. You are you are stable. You are stable. Have a stable sort of income coming to your hand already. And God is telling you young man, step into the oceans. Expect that I will catch you. Because two will chase 10. One will chase one. Don't want, don't you want to chase 10?
But he's thinking, I, I see what can happen oh, but you know, ah, this 150 ks I'm earning like this. If I now marry, the two of us will now be, it's not even barely enough for myself. Now I'm going to add someone inside. Look at grasshopper speaking. Look at grasshopper speaking. I don't want you to be too excited. Because you have to hear what I'm saying. You know how many shipwreck that Paul feast? Hey, Jesus. We'll find a place to hand.
Do you know how many shipwreck that Paul faced? Stonings, stoned him to death, stonings and stonings again and again, imprisonment death threats yet it declared very loud and clear. None of these things move me. Nor do I count my life dear to myself. So that I might finish my race with joy. The heart of a lion is not moved by opposition. It is motivated by the assignment. That's the only thing that matters. What has God said we should do? Their position doesn't matter one bit.
One bit. You are you are backing down from your calling because of criticism. You are shrinking your vision because of obstacles. You are reducing your impact. Because of resistance. But lions don't retreat. The Bible say they turn away from no man. They advance. They don't hide, they hunt. They go for the big games.
They roar. Nehemiah was rebuilding the world of of Jerusalem. When Sambalat and Tobiah sent words saying come, come, come, come, come, let us move together in one village. But Nehemiah recognized, he recognized it as a trap, a trap to distract him from his assignment. He knew it was a trap. His response to them revealed the heart of a lion. He said I'm doing a great work here. So I cannot calm down. Why should the work cease while I leave and go down with you? Is the heart of a lion.
Otherwise, you would know that because were influential figures in the town. Something in him will say ah, what if, what if, you have to please everybody oh, you have to please everybody oh. He said my assignment comes first. I won't leave what God has put in my hand and come down to you. No. You keep accepting all kinds of foolish threats from people that makes you back down from what God has told you. You can't imagine how many people have threatened this vision. You can't imagine. How many people have threatened this vision? Somebody looked at me and said if I see you anywhere in UI, I will have you arrested.
It was not a student oh. So what should happen? I should pack my bag and run because of you. And that alone can stop a ministry. The heart of a lion. Daniel was thrown to the lion's den. For refusing to compromise prayer. And when morning came, the king asked him, Daniel, you are still alive? And in six and verse 22, then Daniel responded to the king. My God sent his angels and shut the lion's mouth.
So that they have not hurt me. The heart of the lion recognizes that that same God who shuts the mouth of lions lives inside of you. Lives inside of you. Don't be intimidated by people who are nothing but overgrown cats that have no power. You have been silenced by threats of people who have no authority from heaven. They say, who are you? What power do you have? What authority do you have? What power do you have? You can't move me if God has not moved me.
You can't unseat me if God has not removed me. I didn't come here by your own power. That's how you face threats in the marketplace. And somebody look at you and say, you, I will have you sacked. You don't start creepily and your legs start shaking and say, hey, hey, Demi Bam. You start rejoicing. Because once again, God can show himself. Once again, God can show himself. Are you getting what I'm trying to say? That's why prophecies remain unfulfilled.
Not because God has forgotten his word, but because you have forgotten your own nature. A lion trying to live like a lamb. But it's both lion and the lamb. You have to be both. And prophecies only manifest through the bold. Not through the timid. Are you with me? Sure. The heart of a lion does not wait for everything to be perfect. You create perfect conditions.
You step out regardless of the wind. Are you with me brothers and sisters? The heart of a lion. Number two is the all truth of the mighty. The utterance of the mighty. That's the second posture that a believer must have. The utterance of the mighty. Kai, you have to understand that in this kingdom, words are not casual. Words are weapon. Words are seeds.
Words are triggers. But a man can carry prophecy in his spirit. But bury it with silence. The mighty understands that destiny is voice activated. Ecclesiastes eight and verse four, the Bible says, where the word of a king is, there is power. You know, I heard somebody say that. The person was of the opinion on that. Once God reveals something to you about your life and destiny, don't say it. Because when you say it, you will attract battles to yourself. And you see, that's why you have to be really careful what you listen to because such statements will sound valid.
But it does not agree with the utterances of scripture. It does not agree with the basic doctrine of faith. The Bible says we believe and so we speak. That the reason why we will speak is because we have believed. Will warfare come? Yes. But the answer to warfare is not to speak. The answer to warfare is to fight. Is to fight knowing that the one who told you has already overcome. Knowing that...
Do you understand what I'm saying? We don't preach a gospel to believers that makes them afraid of the devil. So don't speak because you attract warfare and so what? The believer is not the one on the defensive. The believer is the one on the offensive. They don't preach gospel that makes the believer cripple in heart. Makes them afraid of every simple provision. They say, hey, hey, maybe it's because I spoke. So for instance, you got you got married and then you realize that oh, oh, oh, I I told people the vision that God has showed me, how that I will have... My my children will become prophets.
And I declared, my children are this. My dad... And then and then when I married, I'm told that, oh, there's fibroid in your stomach. And as a child, I should not have spoken. No. You fight that battle and win. Fight that battle and win. The devil has no power or authority over your destiny. Once have I spoken, twice have I heard that all power belongs to God. All of them.
God did not wish creation into existence. He did not. He spoke, and God said, let there be light. And there was light. Every manifestation begins with utterance. Silence has never built a destiny oh. What did I say? You cannot be carrying destiny in your spirit and your mouth is shut. You can't believe in your heart, but you never declare with your lips. Why not it moves?
I believe and therefore I've spoken. We believe and therefore we speak. Until you believe. And until your belief finds voice, it remains locked in the spirit realm. Moses stood before Pharaoh and declared loud and clear, let my people go. As the utterance of the mighty, you must demand what you want from life. Joshua told the sun and the moon, stand still. And the sun stood still, the moon stood still. Killed the people. Add revenge on their enemies.
That is the utterance of the mighty. Creation bows to a man's voice because he dared to declare. Listen to me. The enemy's weapon against the believer is words. That's why you must release words on the enemy as well. Ephesians chapter six verse 16, the Bible says, above all, taking the shield of faith, which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. That fiery dart and words. Because in Psalm 91 verse five, the bible speaks of arrows that flies by day. Arrows that flies by day. These arrows are words.
These darts are words. Psalm 64 and verse three. The bible says, who sharpen their tongue like a sword and bend their bows to shoot their arrows. What is this arrows? Bitter words. Arrows that fly by day, words. So it is dangerous for a believer to keep quiet. When the devil is not quiet over your life, the bible says no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper. It then tells you how the weapons are fashioned. Neither will every tongue that rises against me, they will be condemned.
It means tongues can be used as weapons fashioned against you. You use the salt of the spirit. All trances of faith. You are here and then prophecy has been declared that you're experiencing increase, that doors are opening, opportunities are coming, nations are calling you. But instead of speaking it, you keep on saying, nothing works for me. Nothing works for me. Maybe I should just settle down. Maybe I should just settle down. Understand this. Your words are creating your destiny.
You are either building prophecy with your tongue or you are killing it. The heart of the lion wasn't the only thing that was missing from the people of Israel. They also lacked the utterance of the mighty. The utterance of the mighty only says what God has said. That's why when they brought the report back to the people of Israel, what they said was, we were like grasshoppers before them. If we go against the people who would die, who would die useless deaths, have you brought us out yet to just come and kill us? Watch this. When God came to them, after God heard everything they had said, God said, as you have said it in my ears, that you will die. So shall it be. As you have spoken it in my hearings, so I will do to you.
What did they speak? We shall die in this place. We are like grasshoppers in this place. You must have the utterance of the mighty that makes you speak bold every time, that makes you speak faith every time, that makes you speak what God has said over your life and destiny. Never speak defeat. Never speak failure. I'm saying you are poor, sir. I'm saying just in your imagination. The man said, even in my imagination, I cannot be poor. Even in my imagination.
God has told you you will be a financial pillar in this kingdom. But fear and poverty has sealed your lips. You don't speak wealth. You don't declare abundance. You only reals lack. How then will the prophecy manifest? Job 22 verse 28, you will declare a thing and it will be established for you. So light will shine on your ways. You will declare a thing. Until you declare there's no establishment.
Farm and river ravage the land and Elijah said, as the Lord of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dune or rain this years, except at my word. And heaven sit the heavens. For three years at the utterance of a man. That is the utterance of the mighty. You are here and then you are wishing in silence for your family. You want that cycle of delay to be broken. You want the cause of poverty to be shattered. But your mouth remains closed. How does that work? Until you open your mouth and decree, that mountain will not bow.
Jesus himself was the one that said, you will say to this mountain, not you will wish, not you will hope, you will say to this mountain. The believer has to understand the power of saying, saying to mountains, saying to things, declaring words with authority and power. Jesus stood at the tomb of Lazarus and the pronunciation was obvious. Lazarus, come out. The utterance of the mighty. And hell did not gather a committee to come and say okay, should we release him to oh, the mighty has spoken. The Bible says, God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He ruleth among the Gods. And he brings a charge against the mighty. He says how long shall you rule unjustly?
Because when you refuse to speak, you will rule unjustly. Unjust things happen when your mouth is quiet. The devil will rule. The devil will reign. Are you with me? You can't be standing over the positions and then you are not speaking over them. When you are applying for the job, begin to declare. Let let your utterance go with your application. After that interview, before that interview, begin to declare. As you are going, begin to declare.
You are going to write an exam, declare. Let utterances soak your word. Soak your word with positive confessions. Create your word with your words. Declare what you want to see. The I am name Jesus. Thousands of people hearing this word. I see this word traveling on the strength, on the wings of angels. I see this word. This message is reaching the nations.
I see platforms opening at every corner of the earth. I see us flying up and down, carrying this gospel. I see the kings of the earth hungry for this message, the utterance of the mighty. Frame your words. Frame your world. Frame your universe with your words. The bible says, by faith we understand that the words were made by the word of God. That is how the words were made. That's why the aeons were made. Begin to declare.
Look at your life and declare. When things go bad, declare. Don't cry. Don't react in the negative. Prophesy. Son of man, prophesy. Can these dry bones live again? But they will not live in silence. Prophesy. Don't watch things die just like that.
Son of man, prophesy. Listen to me. When I pray in tongues, I'm conscious of this. I'm conscious of this. Paul said, I will pray in the spirit. I will pray my understanding also. I don't just pray in the spirit. A time comes, my spirit man is soaked. I start declaring. I start making utterances known.
The utterance of the mighty. Hear me? I will not fail. I will not fail. The power to make wise upon me. Men bring their goods to me. The riches of labor comes to me. The wealth of the world come to me. Nations will bow at my speakings. Kings will bow at my utterance.
Hear me? Of that lady upstairs. Listen. Your destiny requires your voice. Don't let the voice of the enemy be louder over your destiny than your own voice. What are you speaking about your life? What are you speaking about your destiny? We look at your life and we see that your life is gauged with wrong words spoken over you. Somebody told you will not prosper. Somebody told you you will fail.
Somebody told you will not succeed. And that is the word ruling your life. How can that be ruling your life? When you have your own words, when you have your own mouth, when you can prophesy yourself. You can speak yourself. Listen. Jabez said, enlarge my course. Enlarge my course. I refuse to allow my mother's words to dominate my life. I refuse to allow my father's words to dominate my life.
Oh god of heaven, enlarge my course. Hear me? When they face Jericho, Joshua told them, shout for the Lord has given you the city. That is the all truth of the mighty. You shout because you know. Listen. Listen. Jericho was still in front of them. But those who are said, shout. For the Lord has given you the city.
It means when you know that God has given you the shout, the voice must go up. The voice must go up. The utterance of the mighty. Hear me? Hear me? When Moses got to the Red Sea, even though stretched the rod, there were utterances, utterances. He looked at them and said, the Egyptians will see today. You will see them no more. The utterance of the mighty. When David stood before Goliath, he said, I will cut off your heads.
I will feed your head to the birds, the utterance of the mighty. Elijah said, if God be God, let us know. If bow be bow, let us know. How come you are saying nothing about your life? How come you are speaking nothing about your life? Hear me? You cannot be quiet oh. You cannot be quiet. Daniel was told that everybody will die. He went to the king and told the king, there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets.
When you are, listen to me. When somebody speaks a negative word against you, reply back instantly. Back. Listen. Listen. The reply is not back to sender. The reply is what God has said about your life. Who is he that will say a word? And it will come to pass when God has not said it. The question therefore becomes, what has God said?
What has God said about my life? What has God said about my ministry? What has God said about my destiny? Hear me? Hear me? I went to someone, the person said, what I'm seeing is what? The prophecy that they are seeing and the visions they are seeing is that your morning will be good, your afternoon will not be good, your night will not be good, you will, your morning will be you, and I'm telling them what, what is this thing I'm hearing? I don't just hear those words and go and sleep and say hey, I know the Bible, I know the Bible, it's not upon, it will happen. Listen to me, negative utterances and pronounce. Do you know?
Do you know that the warfare that many people are facing right now, they would not have faced it if nobody said it. They looked at them and they said and they said ah, if you marry, you will not have children. They would not have needed to fight that battle if nobody had told them. There is an energy that comes when negative prophecies are released. Especially when people of authority say Do you... At that point, you don't just say, hey, I I know the word of God. The Bible is the word of... No. You speak instantly. You reply with a word.
When they told me that, my reply was instant. Instant. Instant. From glory to glory, from strength to strength, from faith to faith, the path of the righteous. It has a shining light. It shines ever brighter, ever brighter. I don't have a better yesterday. My day is always brighter. My tomorrow is brighter than my today. Hear me?
I will not die but live. To declare the glory of the Lord. Negative utterances are like clouds. When you leave them, they can form a hedge around you. And they begin to program your realities. As you move, they move with you. That's how causes rain. That's how causes rule. Listen. Hear me?
Hear me? Rise up on your feet, let us pray. The visage of the colossus. Ah, our time is gone. Let us just pray. I will warn you to bring tongues and then declare works. Release utterances over your life. Relieve utterances over your family. Thank you for listening to this message. We trust you have been blessed.
