Transcript: Rising to Repair a Broken Generation

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

God's word is alive and powerful. It is sharper than any double edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and our joints and marrow until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts. Join apostle Emmanuel as he takes us on a journey into the word of God. It is time to encounter God, be transformed by his word, and empowered by his spirit. Isaiah 61 verse one. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for hardships, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness. The planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. This is really where I'm going.

And they shall rebuild the old ruins, and they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities and the desolations of many generations. What I'm gonna be teaching you today, I'm going to teach again when we are at full capacity. Don't be surprised when that happens, but I just have a burden in my heart because of some conversations we have been having in house to fast track or backtrack my teaching days or at least starting to introduce this subject to us. This is a matured topic. It's a matured subject. It is for everyone really, babes and the matured alike. But I think that those who have risen to maturity would even be more blessed by this. Everybody will be blessed. But, really, this is a food for the mature. It's a conversation we cannot possibly end in a day.

It is supposed to be a series as it aims to show you God's strategy for repairing a broken generation. The title of my teaching is rising to repair a broken generation. You can have your seats. Thank you very much. God bless you. Rising to repair a broken generation. Rising to repair a broken generation. I already see the spirit of the Lord hovering in this place. I see a vision of a dove just moving. When that happens, it's it's important that you become very sensitive enough to understand that the speakings are not just the opinions of a man, but this is God unveiling a strategy for your life.

For many of you, purpose will not just be discovered, but clarity will begin. There's so many people that even as I speak, light will so pierce their heart almost like almost as though somebody is is is is ringing and hammer. I think there is a scripture that explains that effect. Let me see if I can find it. It is in Jeremiah where the bible says that it will make the word of God like a hammer. Jeremiah chapter 23 and verse 29. Is not my world like a fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? I see these two dimensions of the word of God happening even as I speak. The word of God as a fire, but the word of God also has a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces. I see these two dimensions of the word of God happening so strong even as we speak by the spirit rising to repair a broken generation.

Please pay attention. Your life will need this. Your destiny will need this. Your children will need this. Your children's children will need this. This is something you will teach your children. This is something that will cross the borders of this house. This is something that God will give voice to in the fullness of time. Yes. These are some of the things I've seen in scriptures that has edified me so much.

And I'll begin that conversation with us. I said we cannot end it today, but we'll start. I believe so much that we are that generation. I've thought it. I've said it. We are that generation that is standing at the intersection of realms, destructions, decadence, spiritual deadness, dryness, corruption, and revival. We are standing right at the intersection between ruin and revival, destruction and revival, corruption and revival, spiritual apathy, spiritual deadness, spiritual dryness, and revival. Around us are the echoes of crumbling values, broken system, disillusioned families, corrupted leadership, broken patterns even in the church, all manner of rules that you see, all manner of abominations that you see. It is so hard to tell right now who is real and who is genuine, what is real and what is genuine. The paths of righteousness has been so tainted, and many have originated their own way to how ministry should be wrong, how destiny should be fulfilled, how relevance is attained outside of the principles and the order of the kingdom.

Ancient landmarks have been removed, and it looks as though those who are moving it are the ones that are prospering. It looks as though those causing this damage are increasing in popularity. It looks as though the devil is really sponsoring an an an agenda. And the danger is that the generation coming behind will start to think that if this is the way that leads to success, why then should we pass any other way? Yet that way that they think leads to success is the way of death. That way that they think lead to success is the way of destruction. It is the shortcut of destruction. Feign does glory. Feign does relevance. Feign as glory.

Feign as relevance. You go on social media right now, and there is a narrative that the media is trying to push of what a successful man is like. In any regard, a day in the life of a 22 year old CEO, and then you see somebody wake up from bed. This is not the reality TV show host. This is just a content creator. The hotel might be rented, might be paid for, just probably one night or two night or three nights in the hotel, but shoots content that will last for the next thirty days, maximizes the money that was paid, and wakes up, catches the false shirt and that's day one, changes the clothes, wakes up again day two, changes the clothes, wakes up again day three, goes to the luxurious bathroom in the hotel that I can never afford. They're washing my face. This is how I start my morning. Then the hotel door man comes to open the door. She look after my assistant opening the door right now even as I go.

Then he goes into a rent a cab or a car for hire service. Just look at me in my Lamborghini, and he enters it. So I'm going to my office right now. And then a young man is is is having a sense of inspiration. He's saying, my god. I'm 22. If you want to have all of this, then let me mentor you. Pay $500 for my mentorship class. And the young man wants to know, how does a man get this thing so fast? Because what media is driving is that if you are not having all these kind of things in your life at a particular time, in a particular way, following a particular pattern.

And then they try to even in their foolishness, talk down on people that have honest labels. And you dare somebody come out and say, if you're still working nine to five in this time, then you are very, very foolish. How would you call yourself a man and at 25, you cannot afford a car? And the young man who is in sincerely and genuinely pursuing God is already put in a state of cognitive dissonance because he does not understand why his pursuit for God is not translating to experience that he's seen on the media. And he thinks that reality is as media defines it, not as God defines it. So he's not patient to wait for the agenda of God for his life. He wants things to happen fast. So he doesn't care how those things happen as long as he can also have something to post on media. How about the young woman that wants to have a say... A sense of relevance?

The media has also posted on... I've also shown people, young women, how to have a sense of relevance. There's a way and a type your body must be. There is something that you must be doing. You want this social media relevance? That's why he said it looks as though those who are going that way seems to be getting more popular because you'll be amazed how that a young woman can stand there and all that she's doing is dancing, exposing her body. There's nothing wrong in dancing, by the way. Anybody wants to dance, you can dance. Seriously. Nothing is wrong in dance.

The question is what values do you communicate even as you dance? What values do you communicate? What kingdom do you represent? People danced in scriptures. David danced in scriptures. But what kingdom do you represent even as you dance? Entertainment is a mountain of influence, and there will be people that will be on that mountain of influence, including actors, theater hearts people, dancers, artists, singers, rappers. The question is what values do you communicate even as you do these things? You cannot sing a song that glorifies objectifying the body of a woman and then come and thank God when you win an award. And you say, you know what?

I don't wanna thank God for this. For what? You go and listen to the lyrics of the song he's thanking God for. What value were you representing? So if I... And if this thing is prospering, the question is, if I'm a young man in the mountain of influence and I feel as though what God has sent me to is entertainment, And this person is in church, and this is in church. He's even through a testimony, even as he flaunts it. And he's singing about. Why do I need to do anything different? Because if it is working, why change it?

A generation then is patterned half type force model. Landmarks that have been moved. Force representations, even ministry. You go on social media. It is easy for any young boy right now to be popular on social media. Just be audacious and be bold. It doesn't matter what nonsense you have to say. Now be gifted. Be excited. Be be someone who has a kind of voice.

Be charismatic. Be able to manipulate your voice in some way. Be able to steer the emotions of people when they meet you, be able to talk in one way that makes people's heart born even in their emotions, that makes somebody feel condemned. Do you know that you don't have to be spiritual to steer up people's emotions with your speech? Great leaders have done this over and over again. They stand and they inspire millions, and millions are scared to act because a man spoke. Because a man spoke. You can master the emotions of men so much that you know what they want to hear and tell them what they want to hear. If I come here and I teach people on prayer and I say, this is the reason why we must pray. Men ought always to pray and not to faint.

What does prayer do to you? And we conduct a biblical exegesis on prayer. It is popularly believed that that will not steer men to pray just because it is a teaching on prayer, and we ignore completely the spirit of prayer. But if I come to you and show you, snick at how your life is wasting. I've not seen that you have lost opportunities. I've not seen that that door that was meant to open is because you could not mount the doors of the altars. Now now now as you sit down, you are now thinking that, ah, it's true. Ah, it's true. Something is happening to your emotions. You are feeling bad for having not prayed.

And you feel as though the moment you stand up and you are energized and you are responding as they are talking. That is what makes you a prayer man. Whereas you are only an emotional believer. And you would not know until you are 30 because your real life will not appear what you have been told. Excitement fades away with age. When the demands of life start hitting you in the face and you have to pay the bills, and you realize that what you have been struck with is only excitement. Your your old Christianity is based on emotions, based on excitement, and not substance. You cannot test back. You cannot stand on the word to get result if you have not felt something. How can you say you are praying and you cannot feel the vibrations?

Young man, are you contending? And so your prayer is not yet a prayer until you feel some things. So the young man believes you have not felt something. A young man is called to the mountain of influence, probably even a business person or a career person, an entrepreneur, or an entrepreneur. And he obviously cannot even have the time to pray ten hours. And he comes to a meeting like that and he's hearing, you have not prayed for ten hours as a young man. You are a joker. His time schedule will not even allow him the chance to pray ten hours every day. Doesn't mean that he does not have a consistent prayer life. Doesn't mean that his prayer life is dead.

But that man can feel as though he's not doing enough because he heard a man say he's not doing enough. We speak to everybody as though we are speaking to pastors. So even the Deborahs are confused. The Esther are confused. The Esther thinks that it's an Hannah, the prophetess. So she thinks that what I'm meant to be doing in the palace is contending for Messiah to come. Whereas you have administrative responsibilities, diplomatic responsibilities that you will need prayer and fasting, but not in the same way Anna will go and lock herself in the temple. And Esther cannot lock herself in the temple. There are young men who have locked the doors on themselves and they will not come out again until we feed Jesus. This is a business person, a kingdom financier.

What kinds of... You see... And and the moment you have this thing, you are able to steer people up. That's the pattern of ministry you lay for order because people like it, so it will work. It will work. Will work. How about in business? The same thing happens in business. Same thing happens in business. In the midst of all this chaos, same thing happens in family, in education, in religion.

You mentioned it. I can't begin to go into details in the dick of the decadence, the realm, the destruction, the corruption that has eaten into the world, eaten into Africa, eaten into Nigeria, eaten into the Western world. Everybody has theirs they are battling. And in the midst of all of this, heaven looks down at a generation and speaks a mandate to a generation in Isaiah chapter 58 and verse 12. It even starts from the text that we read. 61 verse four, it says, and they shall rebuild the ancient realms, the old realms. They shall raise up the former desolations. They shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. The desolations of many generations. In Isaiah chapter 58 and verse 12, he explains it even further.

He says, those from amongst you shall build the old old waste places. You see the same thing again. It is important that you note those from amongst you because the old waste places, everybody is a victim of it because they are living there. They are living in that waste places. It doesn't say those amongst you will run away and go and look for already built cities. It says those old waste places, those amongst you who live there will build it up. Though... It's not foreigners that will build it up. It's not partners with investors from China that will build it. Those from amongst you.

This is the principle of national development. Foreigners don't build nations. At least not to the profit of the nation. It is those from amongst you shall build the old waste places. This is a mature conversation. Those from amongst you shall build the old waste places. You shall raise up the foundations of many generations. You shall be... Oh my god. You shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorers of streets, paths to dwelling.

What I came to do in this short while is to show you. What does it mean when he says, you shall build the old waste places, the ancient realms? What does it mean when he says, you shall raise up the foundation of many generations? What does it mean when he says, you shall be called repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in because you can easily read these things and thus, you know, use scriptural lingua to think that it does not apply to us because it it doesn't relate to terms you can understand in the now. So you will read it and say, what what is the waste or what is that? How does it apply to new civilization? What did... What in the world is that? Am I saying, you say I'll be a constructor, building developers? Maybe I will go into real estate.

And if you read this and see that, there's no problem. It's light that entered your spirit. Mhmm. Light can enter your spirit and you will say my goodness. My destiny is real estate. That's no problem. But what I've come to show you is beyond that. Because there's a generation that has been given a mandate. Almost as though God knew that this generation will one day be broken or this dispensation will one day be broken. Almost as though God knew that this perverse world will need saving And saviors, the bible says, will arise from Zion.

The bible does not say savior. That would have meant Jesus. It said saviors, it is plural, will arise from Zion. It means Jesus is not the only savior that will walk this earth. He's the first of many. There are many listening to me right now who are also saviors. Arise who are also saviors and will walk after the order of the risen Christ. They they will be sent into cities with the mandate, restore. They will be sent into cities with the mandate, rebuild. They will be sent into cities with the mandate, repair.

Rebuild, Restore. Repair. Rebuild. Restore. The first thing the devil tries to do is to lock up the destiny of the repairers. Lock up the destiny of the restorers because he knows that it is not God that does the restoration. It says those from amongst you. We pray to God and we expect that in our prayers, God will respond with some miracle to change the corruption in this nation, to change the destruction in this nation, to change the repression and the depression and the economic inflations you see around Africa, that there will be some miracle that God will just perform from heaven. And God says, listen. Have you not read scriptures?

I said those from amongst you. That was what I said in scriptures. Those from amongst you. When will somebody read scriptures and realize that the the the the way this thing will be done was already defined from the beginning? Those from amongst you. I so love this scripture. Those from amongst you. It means not everybody will be the savior. There will be those from amongst you. It means they will be there amongst you.

Those amongst you are the ones that need saving, but there will be saviors who are those. Don't you think that everybody's... Will be beaten down by what attacks this world? Don't you think everybody will be a victim of this that I'm saying? Don't you think that when the ancient ruins are coming down even more? Don't you think that everybody will be affected? There will be those amongst you that will rise in confidence. There will be those amongst you that will rise in righteousness, rise in integrity, rise in character, rise in fire, Rise in glory. Rise in power. There will be doors from amongst you.

Hear me. There will be doors from amongst you. I believe so strongly that this is the generation that we belong to. We are those from amongst them. I believe this so strongly. Listen. Every time I read scriptures, I see this again and again in scriptures. Oh my goodness. Again and again in scriptures that we are answers to ancient Christ. Listen.

This is not the first time I'm saying this. I've been saying this for many years. We are answers to ancient Christ. Restore us. Repair us. Hear me. Hear me. This is a teaching. It's a teaching, really. I so much believe I so much believe that there will be graces that we will carry that has not been seen before in this world.

I so much believe it. The mandate of the restorers, the mandate of the repairers, the mandate of the rebuilders will demand for it. There are men of God whose ministries are not just to pastor but to rebuild. There are men of God, apostles, prophets that will rise. Those ministry are not just to pastor, but to restore, but to repair. There are businessmen that will restore. Are you seeing this? Government officials that are rebuilders. Teachers and lecturers that are rebuilders. That's what they have.

That's the mandate God has given to them. Rebuilders. Restorers. Repairers. I don't wanna go ahead of myself. The bridge speaking there is the word is is the word gap. It means there are gaps in society. Gaps between men. I'll get there very soon. This is a teaching.

Gaps between ethnic groups, gaps between countries, gaps between continents, gaps between nations. Nations are at war. Even inside of the same nation, ethnic groups are at war. There are those who want to formulate a particular nation for themselves amongst Yoruba people, a particular nation for themselves amongst the Igbo people. And they say, you know what? Let's divide this nation. And there are those pushing that agenda. That's a breach. That's a breach. When the bible says repairers of the breach, these ones will not be men of God.

They will be diplomats. They will be people that will be that will be brother... Oh my God. They'll be political figures. People that will rise with such intelligence, reconciliation officers that can negotiate peace between cities, between nations. They will speak and then nations that have been at war for many years will command ceasefire. Because repairers arose. There will be a grace that they will carry, an intelligence they will carry. How do you know that God has already restored the breach that exists between God and man? Jesus did that.

But there is now a bridge between man and God. We are the ones to breach it. We preach it by the preaching of the gospel, by introducing to the men what Christ has done. Do you understand what I'm saying? Jesus was the one that bridged the the gap between God and man. But right now, experiences, a lot of things are now adding gap between men and God. And God will now send us as repairers. But there are people that have doubts in their heart. Not because they don't know that God is real, but because certain experiences have stopped them otherwise. They have had pain in their hearts.

If that is where they trusted God or somebody molded God wrongly to them, and they decided in their hearts that this God cannot be real, That's a breach. That's a gap. Repairers of the breach. These ones will come with a mandate. They won't just be preachers. I was telling some of my guys yesterday in the meeting that I had with them. I told them I said, there will be some of us who will be apostles and prophets and teachers, and we'll have a call into ministry, but we'll not... The the the world would not be to to to to do it as it has been done. There will be those whose ministry literally is to make men see Christ. But you can't define what they represent.

All you all we can say is when this person comes, men must see Jesus. So when we go to Muslim nations, we don't go with our fluency of speech. We don't go with our conference speakers and with our motivational speakers and with our public speakers. We will have those ones too, and they will have their own services. But when we go to these nations, when we enter into villages, when we enter, we will need the the pothouse, the the living pothouse. That their assignment is to hold the microphone and begin to sing. Begin to sing. Begin to pray. As they are praying, people are slain into encounters. It doesn't matter whether you have...

Whether you're a Christian or you are not a Christian. You only need hear their voices. Encounters. People have worked it before. This was the ministry of Maria with what it is. You come for meetings and you are slain in the holy ghost for three days, twenty four hours. Encounters, seeing Jesus. Scrolls have been read. Destiny has been revealed. You cannot doubt that Jesus exists.

Repairers of the breach. Repairers of the breach. Now why somebody is doubting God? Why somebody is saying all all of this nonsense is enrapt in an encounter because men have become living stones. What do I mean by living stones? The kind of stone that Jacob raised his head on and he had an encounter. Men can become those stones that people touch you and they are launching to encounters. People hear your voice and they are rushing to encounters. The... These these are repairers of the breach.

Stay with me. Rebuilders of ancient realms. These ancient realms are not just old buildings or laboratory buildings. No. They represent systems. They represent values, institutions by once upheld godliness, order, justice, and truth, but they have now collapsed. Institutions, systems, values that once upheld godliness would have now collapsed. Ancient realms. These are the societal structures, moral frameworks, and spiritual foundations that upheld many generations that have fallen into decay either due to sin or neglect or spiritual deadness and apathy, corruption, bad leadership. You mention it.

Social vices. You look around and you will find these ancient ruins all around you that must be rebuked. For example, broken families, ancient ruins. Broken families, The rate at which absentee fathers are increasing right now, either due to economic pressure or just sheer irresponsibility. Leaving child rearing to single mothers. And in many cases, these mothers are overburdened or emotionally unavailable for their children. Many children do not even understand what love is from a family context. Children are being raised by grandparents or even strangers. Ancient realms. So you see children on the street, court is on the increase.

People becoming drug addicts. Increase in the rate of prostitution, and they are unashamed about it. I was watching the video on tell you on Instagram, the short videos of my preaching on Instagram, and I was blessed by it. Then I shared it to someone to do something on it, went back to Instagram to check for others. That's how I saw a video just brought to me, and it's a podcast. And two women indecently dressed, wearing pant. That was it, really, Mount Tambra. Two of them in a podcast. Excellent podcast. Light, cameras, everything excellent.

Nice recording, nice sound. And what are they talking about? How much they made from sleeping with men? Unashamedly, you know, last week, I think... Last month, I think I made over $1,000,000. And then there was a particular, you know, there was a particular week we had to do over 20 men. You know, I was quite stressed, but it was rewarding. And that was... I'm telling you, that was the conversation. What?

What? What used to be eating? What used to be talking down... Somebody is not proud of? And even if you were doing that to make ends meet, you not even want your parents to know. You don't even want your family members to know. Now we go on social media right now, and we are doing podcast over what is meant to be a a a a shame. Ancient realms. Because these are values that were once upheld. There was a time when this thing, people can stone you to death.

Ancient realms. What happened to the values? What happened to the buildings? That these things have become matters of conversation. But if one was a loose woman, you would have to keep that to yourself because nobody must know. The chances that you would get a good husband is at risk. To the time when people wanted to marry and marry a good husband, have a good home. Or you go on social media, what is your body count? What is your disc? And you would see women not laughing about it.

How do you want a man to treat you? In Nigeria, yeah. And ladies would be describing all... And you wonder, do you have parents? Don't you have people that must not see you like this? These are products of broken homes. If the values have been broken, it is because the institution that was meant to upheld the value was broken. And the primary institution is the family, ancient ruins. The family. There once was a time when on assembly grounds we'd have to, as small children on assembly grounds, sing praise and worship.

Sing praise and worship, and we would have chaplain assembly prefect, would have drummers on the assembly line, we'll praising God. And we did not know that these were values that were being instilled to all of our children. And somebody will come and deliver a short speech. We might not understand what the person was saying or even remain by it. But were values being built? Oh, they were being built. But you go and carry the gospel right now to schools, and you will hear, no. No. No. No.

No. No. Don't want to cause problem. Ancient realms. Hear me? Ancient realms. What is the effect of this? We now have a generation confused about the identity. This is something that they they are meant to get from their parents. The parents are meant to define the identity of the children based on the blueprint that God has given them.

You go and read scriptures. When a woman is pregnant, God give the blueprint to the parent of what the child will become. When Samson was to be born, God came and told Manoana, this child you are bearing will be a savior. And because you are carrying a savior, these are the things you must not do. Because what you are carrying is a savior, you must not drink that which is unholy. You must not touch wine. You must not defile yourself. It will be the savior of Israel. And the moment that child was born, there was a pattern to his growth. The parent knew the identity of the child.

When Samuel was to be born, same thing. John was to be born. Jesus was to be You would see prophetic figures in scriptures and how that the blueprints were come... Were given to the parents to define the identity of the child so that that child growing up will know who he is. It is never in the agenda of God for a child to be confused about his identity when he has parents. The first thing the parents were to do was to define to the child who you are. Son, hear me. You are a prophet. As revealed by God, not not as revealed by your own past failures. Not as revealed by aspirations you had that you could not fulfill in your own time, that now open your heart will do for you so you can have a boast and a claim.

No. Ancient realms. That was never the standard. That was never the standard. But right now, nobody cares what is God saying over my child. It is what is the sophisticated course you can study, what is trending right now. And you want the child to... You Listen to me. In the world of today, the way the way the is going, that was never the agenda. That was never the pattern ancient realms.

Now the child is in conflict, wrestling between what God has said and what my parent has said. We ask the parent to be the expressions of God. It was never meant to be a choice. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It was never meant to be a choice. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. No child should ever have to choose between God. It was not a pattern.

Yes, sir. Ancient realms. We have emotionally wounded children. Prone to repeat the same destructive cycles, the same the same destructive cycles they grew up witnessing. Repeating the same thing across generations. That is why the next statement says, they will lay up a foundation for generations because values are passed by generation. It is what you saw that you will repeat. Nobody says I won't be like my father just by saying it. If something does not happen to your mental construct, you will replicate your father mercilessly. And and and and woe unto you when what you have seen is not worth replicating.

We'll just arrogantly go about saying, I won't be like, ah, yeah. I've seen it. I won't be like... And there's no intentionality in realizing your mandate as a rebuilder. No intentionality, then you will fall the same victim. Repeat the same pattern. Make the same mistakes. And you will pass it onto your children, and they onto their children. Have you not seen that the limitations of the parent even in scripture are usually the limitations of the son? Abraham lied about who the wife was.

Isaac lied about who the wife was. Upright as he was, he got this from his father. Yet the father never told him, there was a time I lied. You have no idea that natures can be transferred just by sin. That what you grow up sin, you become. The bible says as we as we behold, we become. It is the law of life. You have seen it severally. If your father does not have to tell you how he arrived at marrying five wives. He doesn't to tell you, sit down, son.

So let me tell you how I met my first... You know, it's not really, you know, you have, like, several step siblings. But I'm... They are... It was not really... I wasn't married to her. It was just a mistake, you know, youthful youthful exuberance. Just need to tell you that. All you will know is that my father has two wives or three girlfriends, several children. Some we know, some we don't know.

And all you need to do is to live and to see certain traits and characters or characteristics every day for eighteen years, sixteen years till you live. You would have adopted natures and characters that brought that fruit without ever being informed as to how the fruits came to be. All you would see is that you would end university and be experiencing and exhibiting the same lust. Most of these things are not generational causes. They are inherited behaviors. I thought this is a conversation of mature people. Many youths now search for love in toxic relationships because there was no definition of love growing up. What she experienced from parents were hatred, bitterness, and offense. There was a personal vendetta that the parents had that they poured and inflicted upon the children. Collection was never in love.

It was more a matter of hatred, incompetence, and disappointment. So now you'll find the girl in all kind of toxic, even the guy, relationships just to make do for the absence of the love and the void that she felt. Now that girl goes up, timid woman struggling with low self esteem issues. That guy goes up and he cannot even speak to people confidently. Yes. There's a man. Yes. There's a man. Emotionally wounded children looking for affirmation on social media. So the reason why that one wants to open her breast and open her buttocks and do all of that is because that is the only place where people will tell her, you have a nice body.

My goodness. I like you. Give me your number. Fine girl. And she sees it. 10 comments. 20, 100, one fifty, 200. And the more the better, the more the mirror, the motivation continues until it becomes like an addiction. Almost like an addiction. But if I don't post it on the media, if somebody doesn't give me a good comment, I am I am almost depressed.

Because it's my... It's it's the opium I take to heal and to make up for the void I fill in my soul. Relevance on social media. Wealth and money on Internet scam. $41.09 Internet scam. Till today, there are still young people scamming themselves, scamming fellow Nigerians. You wouldn't believe till today. Scamming people of their hard hand money and, you know, because we are all greedy. We can fall victim of such scams even when they are so obvious it's a scam. Ancient realms.

In Judges chapter two, understand, the bible says a generation arose that knew not the Lord nor the works he had done. That's the story of decay caused by parental silence and generational neglect. How can a generation arise that wouldn't know God? What did the generation that knew God do? That's the question. What did they do? How could they have left that alone to happen? How could you have allowed an entire generation, not the family of one or two? And the way we are going, this thing this thing I'm telling you is becoming a generational thing. It's becoming a serious generational thing because all of this thing happening on media now is what is now training young men.

The average 12 year old boy has a phone. Have access to a phone, can see all these things on social media, get most of his education on the media. What should happen in the home? What should happen in school? Ancient rooms being destroyed. So if the bible says that we are rebuilders of ancient realms, it means there there must be model families that will rise, model husbands and wives that will raise model children. But not just that. There must be those that God will send to the mount of family who will once again teach people parenting as God has defined it. And they will so be diligent in study that they will be able to back up every of their claims with scripture, science, and statistics. This won't just be emotional people.

No. They will be learned people, intelligent people, and powerful people because it takes power to mold and to mend the damage in certain homes. The mending cannot be repaired by council nor advice. You will need power. So organizing a conference and say, oh, let's go marry people's conference. I I just come in to come and give them a lecture and a speech. Come on. Stop that nonsense. After that lecture, put power on their head. The bible says, the love of Christ has been shared abroad in our hearts.

There is a kind of love some people cannot have again because they they have been so... The the mistrust is so strong. The betrayal sometimes is so strong. Counsel alone can do nothing. So if a man says, oh, I've been sent to the mountain of religion. What you are inevitably saying, is I must have power. How do you sit down with the family where the daughter tells you my father rapes me? What kind of counsel will you give? Rebuilders of ancient ruins. This is why I say that there will be anointings that will come upon this generation for this mandate that has never been seen before.

Rebuilders of ancient realms. So that you will not define your life how yours was defined. There are some of you, it took urgent intervention. But do you know that is not how it's meant to be? Many of the encounters you have with God in church, you should be having it in morning devotion. When your children come to church, they are not amazed by power. We see power at home. Your child come back from school and he's old and he's eating, changing. And he said, only gave you that chin chin. I said, it is auntie Rose that gave me.

I said, no. Who is Chiamaka? And she said, she's the one that gave me the chin chin. I said, don't don't lie to your mother. Mommy, what is that? Who told you? The holy spirit. Let me teach you about the holy spirit. Sit down. Sit down.

Rebuild that of ancient realms. Will that child ever be smuggled or cheated by a prophet? Who will tell him who will tell him, hey. Hey. Hey. Bring 200,000 naira. No. No. I saw this atom so much. I grew up with it.

I thought my father was having migraine headache. He took me to the hospital and then... This is a... This is an illustration. And then they say, oh, this boy had an enlarged heart, has a this, has a that. What we would do is there's no cure. We have to change this. We have to change that. It only has... I watch my father insist that no, never.

No evil shall befall my child. I am the children that the Lord has given me. We are for signs and wonders. And I witness how would they would put me every morning in family altar and lay their hands on my head and declare will release life into you. Oh, I'm still alive at 25, 22, 23 must be a miracle. Who can tell you that there's no God? Rebuild us of ancient realms. How about corrupt governance, corrupt leadership? Decades of political mismanagement, centuries even, youth excluded from nation building, and every conversation that has to do with national development, the ones that matter. We can organize conferences to show that we're including the youth.

So we can organize national development zone. Senator Dess will be there. Governor, that will be there. They let the youth come and talk. But where divisions are being made, the youths that have come and talk cannot be allowed there. In places that matter, but if we want to keep a front of appearance so that they can have a feeling that they are involved. Whereas in reality, there's no involvement, And they are okay with the feeling that they are involved. And all we need to do is get two or three people who are also as corrupt. And tell them, instead of this protest you are leading, how much do you need? Let's let's settle this thing.

No. We are fighting for the $1,000,000. Right of... We're fighting for the right. Die. She will not fight for our right like this. Let's leave right of the people when I personally don't chop the fight too. The cash is right in front of you. Just go and tell them that we have settled on the deal, and the federal government will announce that all the things that you have listed will be done. You just give us six months to fix everything, everything goes back to normal.

So the youth representative will come, and they will say, we have just had a conversation. We want Nigerians to know that there's peace now. Everything has been signed, so go back to your homes now. Rest assured that everything will be fine. You've told her that we should give us six months, but don't worry. We'll continue to follow-up on it. And if they don't deliver on their promises, then we will come back because the devil knows if you can dissuade a gathering crowd, you have dissuaded them forever. To gather back a crowd who once believed in a cause that was dissuaded and nothing was done. The feeling of disappointment will hit deep into the soul of the men that once gathered. So they would believe eventually that if they gather again, nothing will still be done or they will get his false promises.

So what can become a revolution will be turned down by false promises, and then the lead of that movement will be settled. And the moment the hopes of people can be shattered, just give them six months, they will adapt. And nobody will have a cause to come and lead anything again, and they will forget even why they gathered after some time. This is why it must be many. We have the answers, though. We have it. When we say we have it, we are not making them out. No. We are not. We're not.

Read... There's a defined strategy and method for kingdom takeover. And what I see around many denominations and what many people call takeover is not really taking over anything. All that they will take over is their own stomach and their own empty spaces, nothing that really captures kingdom agenda. I really hope you're understanding me. There are times I want to have this conversation, but I feel as though I'm not talking to children. We have not we have not even began to scratch the surface. Rebuilders of ancient realms. Rebuilders of ancient realms. How can a young man at 18, at 17, at 19 still feel as though he's a...

He's he's too small a boy to do anything great, to do anything big. You go and read scriptures and see what age people were doing big things. Read scriptures and go into into history. It looks as though our civilization advanced. We found a way to culturally push the age of accomplishment into the future. There was a time in certain cultures where a girl of 19 was too... Is too old if she's not married. Are you aware of this? Yes, sir. At 19 year old.

20, 21. You'd see people with families doing businesses, raising homes for themselves. Young men are that. We can find a young man of 27 years old who is still in his father's house. And he's just comfortable, sitting down. Say I'm looking for a job. Because there's food to eat at home. There's comfort. There's no charge to do anything great. To come out of mediocrity, to inspire for greatness, to inspire for greatness.

I wonder what I would tell my children at 12. I wonder what they would do at 12 years old. I wonder. Sometimes I sit down and I think about it and I start smiling. National institutions like the educational sector, the police force, the power sector, and many many of them like that in disrepair. Graduates becoming bike riders because people can afford jobs that compensate for the rate of inflation. So many young people have resulted to becoming slaves in another man's land in the hope of greener pastures. Ancient ruins, hopelessness, and apathy now shape the psyche of many young Nigerians. Yet God is saying, you are the ones to rebuild. But you see several people hopeless, several people, several people in dismay, in despair.

Oh, woah. Woah. Woah. Forget this forget this country. Forget now. Yet the bible says out of you, out of you, out of you, the saviors will come from out of you. Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem, the broken walls of Jerusalem under hostile conditions, under political instability. He didn't wait for better times to come. He built in broken times. He built in war, and he taught the people to build in war.

You would have thought up until then if you are building, you need your two hands to build. How do you put the cement and the block and mount the cement and put... Think about it. How do you how do you mount the cement and put it there and then carry the block and put it there? You need your two hands for that. And Nehemiah brought a wisdom that you can use one hand for everything and use one hand to hold your sword just in case they come and fight us. But this build, you must build it. How does a man rise to inspire the hearts of several people to do what no one would otherwise do? This is the destiny I see with young people. So many will rise with such strange influence.

And even by their influence, they will cause terrific changes. It doesn't take much to cut the change. I've read history. I have read history, and I've studied the lives of men who have caused terrific changes, who have caused revolutions. All it takes is one man to rise. One man to rise and declare I have a dream. Moral and cultural collapse that you see all around. Cultures now glorify sex, greed, violence, vanity, nonliward music, nonliward movies, social media, they now promote pleasure over purpose. Churches are now mimicking the world instead of confronting the world. Universities are filled with cultism, bribery for greats.

Ancient realms. You speak the truth now. They say it's hate speech. Because the concept of absolute truth is no longer a thing. Because truth is not relative. You cannot you cannot say there are only two genders. That's an absolute truth. It's relative. How would you say that? It's relative.

Depends on your mindset and your mental framework and how much you know. So even the... How can truth be relative? What now makes it truth? The very nature of truth itself is absolute. Either the speaker is here or is not here. This speaker cannot be here and then be here. Then it's not truth. If I say my, you know, is is relative, you are saying he's here because your eyes can see it. Somebody may be blind.

They won't see it. That means he's not here. Look at how foolish that is. So because somebody is blind and cannot see it, does that mean this is not there? But we can argue on this. Can argue on this on that media. This is what trends. This speaker here or not? Podcast. You know, you know this...

No. No. No. You see, you are talking from a a low mental framework because you you are hurting the feelings of the blind. How can you tell them the speaker is there when they cannot see the speaker? You are hurting their feelings. They're that's as hate speech. You see how degraded we are on social media? Yes. And people consider these conversations to have.

You know, a man can be a woman. A woman can be a man. Rebuilding the runes means therefore rising into places of power, rising into places of influence, realizing your god ordained purpose, especially as it concerns every mountain of influence where values have been upheld, values that exemplify the character of the Christ and the nature of the kingdom. The value system of the kingdom have now been turned down, rising up into these places and insisting that in my lifetime, this will exist once again. For some, it would mean it would mean starting starting this same podcast and saying truth there. Because those who are lying are there, and the people that have been lied to are there. So if we want to propagate the truth, we must be there And trust God for influence. Anyone on social media who does not have a purpose for being there is a fool. Because you must understand that what you are on is a tool for destiny destruction. So if you don't have a purpose for every time you go there, you are destroying your life unknowingly.

There must be a value system you intend to pass. There must be. On different mountains of influence. Understand that there is a war we are fighting, an invincible war, a clash of clans, a war between kingdoms. That every time we say that a kingdom come, what we are declaring... Have a dream. I have a dream, and I've seen it, that God will so bless us. We will raise kingdom financial giants. Hear me? Hear me?

Hear me? This financial giants not the responsibility of the church, but it is the responsibility of the church to raise those who makes it their responsibility. These financial giants will turn this nation around infrastructure wise, wise, economical wise, political wise, leadership wise, everything wise Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Some will start leadership schools Yes, sir. That will be so influential that before you can become a senator, you must pass through the school. Where kingdom values are taught. Where servant leadership is taught. What does it mean to hold a provision? This is not your right.

It's a privilege. So when you're going there thinking it's your right to be a president, it's your right to be a leader, I've labored for this, then you are a fool. It's a privilege to serve in any capacity. A school must teach people this. It has nothing to do with the bible. Is this taught in business schools? The principles of stewardship, of faithfulness and service. We'll close now. This is only an introduction. This conversation is deep, so deep.

Anytime I think about these things, feel so burdened in my heart. These are conversations we must have with the body of Christ, with leaders and pastors, with people in power. This is the reason why we must be many. This is why we see a thousand disciples on-site. This is why we go up because there is a message God has given that is for the world. There's a message God has given that is for the nations of the world. This is why we say carry this thing on your head. Bring everyone you know. We must hear this truth. Mind must be reconfigured.

Mind must be recalibrated. Patterns of ministry must be... Must be defined. Because we are young, doesn't really know what we are doing now. Oh, we are ancient. We are ancient. Don't be deceived by the age. Don't be deceived by the looks. Don't be deceived by the appearance. Oh, we dress well.

We appear we appear modest. Doesn't mean that we are naive. Doesn't mean we are young people that started ministry yesterday. Oh, no. The wisdom God has given to some of us is ancient. When we sit down with the hold, you can barely tell our age. The bible says, Jacob loved Joseph because he was a he was a son of his old age. What in the world does that mean? A son of his old age. Does that mean he had him when he was old?

If that were the case, Benjamin should have been the one he would have loved because Benjamin was the last born. So he had Benjamin in his oldest age. Had nothing to do with his old age in terms of he had him when he was old. But that when he looked at Joseph, he had the same level of wisdom that he had, a son of his old age. But you wouldn't tell that Joseph was a small boy when you interact with Joseph. You will think he's he's older than his age. That is how some of us howl. It will be foolish to look at us and define us only by the flesh. We have a message to the world. There is something you know that is not everywhere.

There is something you are being taught that all must hear. There are young people right now who are confused. Some of them entering into the University of Ibano. A week from now, entering into confusion, an institution that have become an ancient realm. Where what should uphold the foundations of education as defined by scripture cannot even be found there. Where people are being taught, where breaches, breaches are being made even in lecture class theaters. And lecturer has been the one to create the breach, tearing men away from God. We are repairers of the breach. I'm only able to look at one today even that I'm not able to finish. That's no problem.

Rebuilders of ancient realms. And when this one's coming, they must not be victims of these ancient realms. Hells, we would pass out thousands of people who are graduates, and it will only end there. Meaningless lives, purposeless lives, undefined agenda. This is the message we have. This is the reason why we say we must be many. This is the reason why we go for heart riches. This is why we organize our freedom of awakening. The freedom of awakening meeting is a is a net we cast into the deep to bring as many fishes as possible. Thousands of them will be here come April 19.

You must play a role in bringing them here. You know someone writing jam. You see thousand. You see them Swamping. Listen. You know, I I was driving into UI, and I saw them. All I was seeing was confused people. Whose only agenda at that moment is let me just pass. How can that be Oh, they lived life. And I wish and I wish somebody can just give them a destiny collision, like collision with a truck, like Moses at the burning bush, where purpose is discovered and pursuit now makes sense.

There's a superior reason why I must do well, why I must prosper, why I must live a beautiful life. Rise up on your face. Builders of ancient realms. There are some of you that will write books, and your books would be your tools of rebuilding. There are some that will that will create softwares, create applications. There will be tools of rebuilding. There are some that will mentor others that will have a chain of mentorship. There are some that will be life coaches, but not as the world is doing it. Those will be a tool of rebuilding. There are some that will be speakers, join politics, teaching the truth, establishing righteousness.

Start businesses and become great in businesses. Living righteously even when it's not popular. Let me stop it here. This race that I'm running, I'm running to the end. Hear me? I want you to close your eyes and pray. The devil will not cage my destiny. I am a rebuilder. I'm a repairer. I'm a restorer.

The devil will not stop this. I won't be caged down by the very thing I'm supposed to rebuild. I won't be a victim of the ancient city. For saviors are meant to arise from Zion. I am one of the saviors. Can you raise your voice and breath? Can we just thank Jesus for the word that has come mightily? Can we just appreciate the name of Jesus?
