Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

God's word is alive and powerful. It is sharper than any double edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and our joints and marrow until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts. Join apostle Emmanuel as he takes us on a journey into the word of God. It is time to encounter God, be transformed by his word, and empowered by his spirit. The title of my shocked exaltation to us is preservers of God's ordinances. Preserve us of God's ordinances. Please pay attention. Please listen very very carefully. Preserve us of God's ordinances.

Preservers of God's ordinances. Jeremiah chapter six and verse 16. The Bible says, thus says the Lord. It is important to note who is speaking. These are not the opinions of men. This is the word of God. And the Bible says, thus says the Lord. Stand in the ways and see. But even if you are to see, there are ways that are offered that have already been ordained for men to stand. It is in your standing in that way that you see.

In other words, remember that the bible says God revealed his hacks to the sons of Israel, but his ways he revealed unto Moses. There is what is called the ways of God, the precepts of God, God's system of doing things, the ways of God. And the bible says, if you are going to see, if your perspective in life is going to be right, you have to stand in the ways. The ways as revealed by God to see. The bible says, ask for the old parts. Don't create new parts for yourself. There are precepts of old. There are patterns of old where the good way is and walk in it. In other words, we have not been given the privilege of inventing your own way in seeking God. When it comes to how God must be sought, when it comes to how God must be sought, please pay attention to me.

You have not been given the privilege of inventing your own way. Creativity is not allowed in knowing God. The bible says, ask for the old path. That if you want to begin your own walk with God, there is an old path you must ask for. This is a cry to my generation. This is a cry to even the older generations. This is a burden to the body of Christ. And I pray that God will give this message wings to fly. This is a cry even to generations to come. A generation must know that when it comes to seeking God, when it comes to knowing God, we have not been given the privilege of inventing your own path to knowing God.

That in the pursuit of God, you must stand in the ways as it has been ordained. It is from that way that you begin to see. You ask for the old parts and you walk in it. The bible said it is then that you would find rest for your souls. But many have said, we will not walk in it. May we not be that generation that will say we will not work in it. Yes. May we not be that generation. The burden is very strong. In Proverbs chapter 22 and verse 28, Jesus begins to speak and he says, it was Solomon that was speaking really, and he says, do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.

Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set. Almost as though the writer of scripture knew that there will be a generation that will come that will try to remove this landmark. They will use civilization of an excuse. They will use the dawn of time and the dawn of the ages and the fact that there are inventions unfolding as an excuse to say, you know what? How it has been done before is archaic. As civilization is increasing, we must also modernize the model to fit civilization. And the bible carefully warns, do not remove the ancient landmark. This is not a time to sleep. This is a time to listen for your sake and for the sake of those that will come after you. Do not remove the ancient landmark.

In Psalms 11 verse three, the psalmist is careful to warn even to ask a question. If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do? There are foundations that have been laid. There are ordinances that have been committed onto a generation, committed onto a people. The bible says in the book of Job, do you know the ordinances of heaven? Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Can you command the dominion thereof? He was all asking Job that there are ordinances in heaven, and these ordinances is what is responsible for the dominion that men command on earth. Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Can you command the dominion thereof?

That if you see any man walking in dominion, if you see any man having substantial results or doing things that have never been done by any man on earth, it is because there are ordinances that was committed to him that he knows. Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Can you command the dominion thereof? But if any man will command dominion, there are ordinances handed over to generations, handed over to territories, handed over to a people, handed over to men that make this men work as gods on earth. And throughout history, even in scriptures, God has ordained spiritual principles, ordinances that govern his dealings with men. And every generation is at risk of forgetting or deviating from this divine ordinance, from this divine patterns. The bible says about these ordinances that they should never be moved. That if you will start your own work with God, you start on the foundation that others have laid. In your eyes, in your light, sorry, we see light.

Paul says, this foundation we have set, let no man lay another foundation. In other words, when it comes to this work, when it comes to this Christian experience, no man is given the privilege of laying a different foundation. The foundation has already been laid. Whatever we do is built upon that foundation. Our responsibility in every generation, hear me, Our assignment in every generation is to preserve and to transmit the ordinances of God. Ensuring the continuity of God's will on earth. The ordinances of God are spiritual laws, spiritual patterns, spiritual instructions, models of branding, the ways of God that has been given by God to order to define the extent of men's pursuit and even the way that men have dominion on earth. Given by God to maintain order, given by God to maintain purity, given by God to maintain power amongst his people. The ordinances of God. One of the most tragic thing that can happen to a people, one of the most tragic thing that can happen to a territory is that we have an interface of generations that connect spiritually, that do not, sorry, connect spiritually.

An interface of generations that cannot connect spiritually. So you have a generation of men and women who love God, who honor God, who passionately seek the Lord. Then you will find out that there is a gap of about ten to twenty years. And the next generation that arises from that breed completely are antagonistic to the values and the passion of the generation that were before them. History is full of territories, cities, nations that pioneer certain strange and notable dimensions of God. But sadly, sadly, those dimensions were hijacked by the inability of those people who God used to pioneer those revivals to transmit what they saw to the next generation. They knew how to best revivals, but they did not know how to preserve it. Preservation is very important. It matters to God that the generations that come, our children children, their children. Even our own generation, it matters to God that they must be able to hold on to the template of our conviction.

The same way we held on to the template of our... Of the conviction of our fathers. And there there is a a system that God has designed to make it happen. What am I saying in essence? I'm saying that it is possible to see, to read the annals of history. And even as you read, you would read of a generation that came, and their work with God made it look as though you are reading a fictional movie. Men that walk like gods on earth. Men that did impossible things. And you would read it as though, did this really happen? Because the gap is so much.

You cannot see any reference in this generation that can do or can even be a replica of what you are reading in history. And you begin to wonder, was it that the hardness were not preserved? What exactly happened to many revivals that started before us? And what will happen even to the one that starts now? There is nothing as dangerous. There is nothing as disheartening. For a father has seen his children not serve his God. Joshua chapter 24 and verse 15. The Bible says, and if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves. Can we read it together everybody?

One, if you can see it, one, two, three, go. Pause, can you see the pattern here? Choose for yourselves whom you will serve. Even in choosing for yourselves, you are not even given the privilege to ordain and to create a new path. You either choose the Gods which your father served. Or the Gods you met in the land of the Amorites. But Joshua now made a statement. One, two, three, go. Not as for me alone. Not as for me and my wife.

The principle is always, as for me and my generation. As for me and my generation. As for me and my territory. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. But this you see is not always so. Because in Judges chapter two and verse 10, the same bible tells us when all... Start with verse nine. Verse nine says, in verse eight, you see Joshua died. Is that not so? And verse nine, they buried him with the inheritance at Timnav.

Verse 10, after Joshua died, when all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, when they all died, watch the fear here, Another generation arose. This is the danger. This is the danger that happens when ordinances are not preserved from generation to generation. Another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which they had done for Israel. Another generation After them, who did not know the Lord. Nor the work which he had done for Israel. As for me and my house, that I will not go and be with the Lord after all the mighty exploits that was recorded in my life and ministry. That we went to nations, that we propagated the gospel, that we healed the sick, that the lambs walked when we came, that there were signs in the heavens and signs on the earth, that we controlled nature like men with remote, that we walk like gods on the earth, that even death bowed when we came, But that even after we walk, we we we go, then our sons will rise. And because the devil could not get us, he would go and wait in the next generation and grow with them. Listen to me.

Transgenerational relevance is important in the kingdom. That the scope of our jurisdiction, the scope of our relevance must not be must not end or just transcend our lifetime. We must be able to culture ourselves into the systems designed by God to preserve his ordinances. When you study history, your heart would be broken in comparison with what we have now in this generation. Leave history alone. Even look at the father, the generation of us. Those who are still alive, who you can still see. The patriarchs of faith, the fathers of faith, and look at their exploits. In tandem with what we have in this generation, and you will be ashamed. Your heart will be broken if you truly have a burden for the Lord.

And it's our fault as men of God. It's our fault as arouters of revivals. It's the fault of parents. It's the fault of many people who got handed over the portraits too. You would know when you study history. You would know when you look at the life of the patriarchs that something is missing. At some point, the oddness of God were not preserved. We're not passed on to the next generation intentionally. Do you know that in the old testament, when a priest, the first priest was elected was Aaron. And how was Aaron appointed?

Aaron was given the garment of the priest. Is that much so? Given the garment of the priest. And even as he was given the garment of the priest Thank you. Even as he was given the garment of the priest, oil will be poured with burning. How they anoint priest those days is not how we anoint people now. As though we are careful of the anointing oil. No. They waste the oil upon the priest. They empty a horn of oil until the oil goes from his head as he's kneeling down and reaches his foot.

It was as though they were bathing them in the oil. And the aim of this is so that the entire garment will be soaked in oil. The garment is never to be washed. The garment is never to be cleaned. The oil must always remain on the garment. So that when the... When this priest is done with the assignment and the next priest come, he's given that same garment to wear, and then oil is poured the same way oil was poured on the first priest. The same way that garment is soaking in oil, soaking in anointing, soaking in mantle. That is the same way... Or it means that the priest that comes after is not starting from the beginning.

He is starting from where left that this priest ended. He's only building on it. When the third priest come, the same garment is put on the third priest. The same oil again. That means he's building on two generations. What two generations have done in terms of exploit and impact mixed into one, then his own now comes again. When the fourth one comes, when the the same thing... Now imagine for a minute that in the seventh generation, somebody come and says, we can't find the garment again. Do you know that we'll not have to start again from the... It means that generation would need to start from the beginning.

We'd need to learn whatever the first one saw, whatever the second one saw. It means you cannot imagine the exploit that would be between the last one that came, who still had the garment, and this one that is starting from the beginning. The gap will be so much, and you will wonder, don't you serve the same God? But you were handed different things. Stay with me. You will understand the burden very soon. Do you know that once upon a time in Europe, Europe was the center of revival around the world. Fire was burning all across the length and breadth of that territory, but now you would hardly see flames on that place. Hardly. There was a time in the city of Welsh that revival broke out.

Men and women caught fire just by reading about the move of God on newspaper. Go and study history. In the city of Welsh, when the revival broke out, newspapers will capture the miracles that happened in the meeting place of Evan Roberts. And as people were reading these miracles on newspaper, the power of God and the hand of God came upon them. The sick read newspapers and they were healed instantly on record. It wasn't one person. It wasn't two. It wasn't three. It wasn't four. All over a territory.

That was how a revival broke out. It left the walls of the church, entered into media, burst into books. People read it and caught on fire. And and they were praying in tongues. People were filled with the holy ghost from reading newspaper. Document what was happening in the church. Growth disappeared from people written about the revival. But the systems of preservation was not there. That is why you only read it in history, and now you sound like film trick. But these things happened.

It is painful to know what once happened on this earth. Oh god. It is painful to know that some men so carried god like this. Our history books are filled with the move of god. Mighty things and many dimensions that our generation has not even entered into. But then most of them, the lifespan of that extent of impact was the lifespan of the one who pioneered the move. Usually, with the death of the pioneer, the move dies. To a point where it is buried, and there is no monument in that territory that God once moved. God forbid. God forbid.

Not in my time. Not in my generation. God forbid. God forbid. There must be ordinances preserved that people would know once upon a time, God moved across this nation. Not just spiritual buildings and monuments, but a heritage, a spiritual heritage that refuses to live. Let this be the reference for the generations to come that this is how people once worshiped God. Oh, this is how people once prayed. In the day that a generation wants to deviate, there are many witnesses against you. Let it not be that you were not told.

Let it not be that you were not informed. These are testaments. There must be a system of preserving this testament. Not just the heritage of being a Christian, but that the extent to which God moved must also be captured. It is important that our children know that not only were we Christians, we were men of fire. It is important that our children know that once upon a time, a preacher can be preaching and the power of God touches somebody miles away. It is important that our children know that once upon a time, men walked as gods on earth. Men were living portals. I read about the point in history, a place where people prayed so much, so much. Prayer chain was happening again and again in that territory.

So much so that even when you go there now, there are still physical collision that men have with angelic beings. A place literally on earth became a portal to heaven. Listen. When Satan finds out that it is difficult for him to capture a generation, he gives up on that generation and goes to wait for their children. That's what he knows. When he sees that he has tried everything that he can, he can't bring up, he can't bring down Adebue. He has tried he has tried the scandals. He has tried the lies. He has tried the women. He has tried everything he knows how to do in the books.

He looks at every body god in different generations, and he finds that there is a level of commitment and passion to god that they have that they would not give up on anytime soon. Sin would not bring them back. Backstabbing will not bring them back. They have decided that there will be no turning back at all. This path we have pursued will continue to hold forever. How do you tell me that a man that age still fast up until today? Still prayer walks all over the redemption camp. Do you know how big that place is? And a man in his eighties wakes up in the morning and is prayer walking. And there is a generation that the devil is growing with who is arguing whether we should fast or not.

Can you see the gaps here? Jesus Christ. So when he sees that this generation has gone, there is nothing that can do again to get them. What it does is to leave them. It then goes to wait for their children. And if he sees that they train their children right, he goes to wait for their children's children. The devil can be so patient. He can wait for many generations until the gap is created, and then he will grow with that generation. Satan can be so patient as long as it takes for the generation that has sponsored God's move to fade away. And so he will be silent.

And sometimes we will mistaken his silence as our breakthrough in the spirit. Not knowing that it is an intentional deceit. Because for many years, he can be quiet. Until those who were the hallmark of that alignment, allowing the purposes of God to be birthed begins to fade away. Either through old age, through exhaustion, or whatever really. And when they fade away, then it grows with a generation. And how do you know it's growing with them? You would find the the trinkles of his tricks in everything that that generation grows up with. Even in their a for apple. What used to be a for apple?

Before, b for ball, c for cat. You go and read those textbooks now. Now they teach your children sexual orientation. How to know whether you're a man or a woman. You can choose what gender you belong to. This is it that I'm growing with a generation. There was a time when school was all about education. Having profits, your relevance in the marketplace, but not again. Now values, demonic values are being taught right from school. Right from school.

It was impossible to go to a secondary school and find nonsense there. Secondary schools were on fire. These were the days of the SU. The SU move. The days of the Catholic moves. Most of the schools you know today were built by Catholic churches. Fellowship were in schools. All... There was almost no school that didn't have their own fellowships. People were on fire.

It was it was almost impossible to be a student in a school and not be on and not be on fire for God. Go and hear the stories of the fathers. Men like... Let me not mention their names really. You would hear about how the s... They were victims of this move in the SU. Now go to schools. You will be ashamed what you see. Even a Christian school is afraid of having a fellowship there because of what will people say. So the place that used to be a launching pad for plenty children, a launching pad into the fire of God, a launching...

I heard a I heard a man of God in Lagos owns one of the biggest churches in Lagos. He was speaking about how is burden and the fire for God that it has now started when he was in secondary school. The SU move. They were everywhere. They taught them they taught them how to pray. Got them filled in the holy ghost. Taught them the scriptures. And you would see several children after school, wait for fellowship, learning the ways of God. The of The of God. Brother into the room.

Do you think that is the one going to school looking for a girlfriend? Do you know that is what school is about right now? How many boyfriends can you have? How many girlfriends can you have? And this this is what launches people into university. So there was no fire in secondary school. Now they come to university and the same thing happens there. Have you forgotten what the NYSE move was about? It was God's strategy for a revival. Go and read history.

That was when the NYSE Coppers fellowship was a thing. When he was burning with fire. I have no understanding what we now do in fellowships. When these fathers had fellowships, bishop Francis Waleoki had one of the largest fellowship you'd ever built in Nigeria while he was a student. Pastor Kojoye Made would speak about when he was a student in fellowship. He was able to invite Idahosa to their fellowship. Came to his fellowship. While they were in school, they saw the fire. They witnessed this thing. There was almost no gap between that generation and and and their own.

That is why you would look at their generation, and you would see many still doing what the fathers did. Many. Many. I look at my generation, and I'm scared. I'm scared of what is happening. What the devil is is is... Oh, god. I I hope you can understand what I'm saying because really, really, there are people who have arisen across the generation, and they are trying to move the Asian landmarks. They are trying to move it. Do you know in those days, there was no too much access to knowledge.

You didn't have YouTube. You didn't have Spotify. Not... Do you know how many people are doing podcast now? It is so easy to be a nuisance just by a microphone. Put a camera on your face. It means the amount of people educating young people now are quite more than what they had those days. It means knowledge was preserved. If somebody was stupid, that you... They didn't have the platform to share that stupidity.

Even if you were stupid, it was kept to yourself. Unless a few friends you have. Right now, you can reach millions even being stupid. And the devil will give you the required influence you have. And he knows that we have raised a generation that doesn't care about the bible because of the church, the pillar of truth. The pillar of truth. It means if it must be truth, there is only one place we can have access to it. It must be the church. But the devil has convinced a generation that truth can be gotten anywhere as long as the person is bold and audacious holding the microphone. So he can come and give his opinion on whatever, and you would feel mandated to listen.

And what was once hot, you can barely see the trinkles of fire. You can barely see the record of fire. You can barely tell that there was once a time that this used to happen. And if you're not careful and this thing continues, then our children's children will come, and they won't even know that there is a God. Hear me. The bible says that when that generation passed away, there arose another generation that knew not the God of their fathers. A generation that knows... The bible says that when Joseph died, there arose another pharaoh that knew not Joseph nor the God of Joseph. Do you know that the reason why Israel was plunged into four hundred years of servanthood was because Joseph refused to keep the ordinance. The question is, whilst you were in the palace as a prime minister, that pharaoh, where was he being raised?

Where was he being trained? Was he not in the palace? Did he come from somewhere else? Wasn't it transferred by blood? How did he come to power? With the exploits of Joseph, you were the one that preserved the whole nation. In fact, you preserved the entire earth. It was because of you that everybody on earth did not suffer and die of hunger. And yet the bible says there arose another pharaoh that knew not Joseph. How do not know a man like that?

Should the tales not be told? Should the stories not be told? Should it not be said in schools? Joseph had that power. He had it, but did not have the wisdom for preservation. He launched an entire generation into servanthood and slavery because patterns could not be preserved. If I were Joseph, I would have it said in schools. So that while children are growing up, they will know how famine once plundered the earth, how a king once had a dream, how a man was brought from the prison, how... It will be inside their studies. But...

No. And this is always what happens when ordinances are not kept. Today, there are buildings that were once centers of revival that are clubs today. Because there was no system of preservation. But there is a way you have been trained to call upon the name of the Lord. That one day, you will watch your child in confusion because you have not taught him what he knows. Get a five year old child, a seven year old child, and he will be able to recite the lyrics of a rap song with profane words all through from a to zed. And guess what? That is what we celebrate. Somebody will hold the phone and record it.

How the child is doing nonsense. How the child is doing nonsense. And it will begin to spread everywhere on social media. And you find somebody say, get me that child. I want to sponsor the education. What did that child do? And the moment everybody sees that this is what get relevance now, then there's no point anymore. You to go and know the song. Do you know that there was once a time when it was fashionable to be a believer in this nation? There was once a time when all these banks you see, all these industries you see, some of your father can still tell you the stories.

My father will tell me that when they are writing final year exam in university, apart from the fact that it was a student of UI, every student had a meal ticket that granted you access to free food in UI. Do you believe there was one of the time when that was a thing? My father will tell me that when they are writing their final exams and people are about to be graduates, you would see bank officials, shell officials, oil companies, all kind of industries with their PR team waiting outside to give people employment. You literally came out of the exam hall and were employed. Industries would write to churches and would tell churches, we trust that your people have integrity. Can you recommend men to us? We need 20 so and so, 20 managers, 10 factory workers, five so and so, several accountants, and churches were the one that deployed men. Churches. Now, if you hear the person from a church, you are afraid. You even hear as a pastor, are more afraid.

Have you not looked at the children of some of these men that pioneer these moves? And you are wondering what happened. What happened? Where did the power go to? Gehazi, why did you not receive from Elijah? What happened? There are mantles and there are graces that are still on earth today but are not available for use because the system of preservation and transference was not there. Our soils and territories are full of stories. You meet an old man and he tells you, do you know that there was a day when rain was falling in this nation? And that house, even in this city, that particular house there, rain never touched it.

And you say, my goodness. You mean it? He said I was there. I saw it happen. Who was there? A white man came from abroad and said he was an evangelist. He lived there for only two weeks, and the things we saw, we could not explain. He said, my God. My God. While he came, even after he left, people passed by that street and they come out under the power.

People falling on the street, having an encounter of all sorts. Where is the mantle now? Nobody was taught. Nobody caught it. Nothing was preserved. You didn't find out that in that territory, the most powerful person not even know God. Just guesswork all around. We must preserve the curriculum apportioned to us to know God. My generation must know the God that I know, not the God they want to know, the one that I know. They must understand his power to the extent to which we have allowed him move.

So that one day, these are our little children moving up and down. I will... Some of them playing. Some of them listening. One day, they would hold the microphones on the assembly ground and just attempt to do what I do, copying it, just talking even. And they will say somebody is here. The power of God is touching you. And right there, a miracle begins because God is not a specter of persons. That is all he saw growing up. He saw a praying mother.

He saw a praying father. One day, we remember, there's a name my mother used to call God. In circumstances like this, one day we remember, there's a day we had a problem, and our father said, come, everybody. Let us pray here. And we didn't only pray and nothing happened. We saw a change the following day. Myself and my pastor... One of my pastors here met with the three year old girl. Three year old girl went for a conference in a man of God's church, a very dear friend of mine, went for a conference in the church. When we got there, three year old girl.

And after the meeting, the girl ran to my pastor and told the pastor. He said, he said, I have power in my hands. I have power in my hands. I have power in my hand. Three years old girl. He said I have power in my hands. Should I touch you with power? That girl will go to a classroom and just like that say, I have power in my hands. That girl will meet a friend who's sick, talk, and say I have power in my hands. Should I touch you with power?

And you would see that... We... This is what we lost in this generation. We lost it. And I'm gonna be very sincere with you. I look at how men pursue God. I look at the passion and the zeal in the heart of young people, and I'm ashamed of what I see. Most of our parents will tell you they were in crusades. They were in crusade. They saw raw power.

They saw healing. They saw miracles. They saw the oppressed delivered. And when they are now bedeviled by sickness, and you tell them, can't you trust God for healing? They will say, ah, and I was there. I saw it. I have read history. I've read a revival again and again. And every time I see, I read the gaps. I see the gaps there between one generation and the next.

What could Smith Wigglesworth have known that we don't know? What could T. Osborne have known that we'd not know? A. Halle would have revival meetings and would have healing lines. Any type of sickness you had, the views are still available. Go and watch them. Any type of sickness you had. None that thing that we do where we say, oh, if you're sick, just put your hands there. And if you are touched, no problem.

This one, you had no choice but to be touched. Because the man himself prayed for you one by one. And if there were 500 people there, he would touch everybody one by one. Go and watch the videos that are available online. The man would... They would bring them there. Cripples, deaf ears. Jesus Christ. One by one, and he will tell them, brother, what is the problem? Walk.

What is the problem? Oh, walk. That is it. See. That is it. That is it. What could Kevrin Kuman have known that we would not know? What could pastor Paul Nenje, David, Ibiyome, pastor Ihi Adebui, bishop Oedebu, what could these men have known That is making them build like no man's business. Build cities inside cities. When I see some of these men, I know that the grace that was upon Alexander the way still lives.

He was the first person that built a city. Have you not heard the stories of when he traveled power of God. He said to God, he said, God, if this thing follow me back, I would know you are a racist. He said, God, have you only given this thing to white men? And they went there and brought something back home. That a harogon generation, their eyes are close to seed. Their eyes are close to seed. Look at the extent of results that these people work in and the incredible gaps in results between that generation and ours. Read your bible and see those who worked in in in welfare department in the bible. The welfare department of that generation are the crucifix of our generation now.

People that we call the bibleist, they were serving tables in the bible. Turnjee Lake had people that he called healing technicians. The condition for status to become a healing technician was that when you came, they would give you a sick body, and they will give you thirty days. And the assignment is in thirty days, heal this person. It can be anything. A broken leg, arm putated leg, missing body parts, cancer, HIV, anything, thirty days with the person. And if after thirty days, you cannot heal that person. They will tell you sorry. We know you are a believer, but join the members. Spokane became the lviest city on earth because one man rose.

But the question is not the impact. The question is the transparency. Where is it today? Where is that fire, that mantle, that hunger? Where is it today? It was said about EW Kenyon that he raised the dead at will. It was a normal occurrence for him. He raised the dead at will. There was a time that a tractor broke the legs of a farmer and broke... Shattered the legs into pieces.

EW Kenyon came there when he was called and just kept on looking at the leg. And as he kept on looking at the leg, the bone suddenly arranged him. Almost as though these things are in history. The man said nothing. He was just looking at the leg. Looking at the leg, and the bones almost as though they were afraid. Like like Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones. Moving together. What is that? A man died for six months.

During the time of Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick was called. He got to his grave, wrote his signature there. I am Saint Patrick and told them dig it up. They took up a living man. I am Saint Patrick. Told them, dig it up. Six months dead. They brought the man house alive. These were men who knew the ordinances of God.

There are levels of spiritual manifestations that you cannot guess. Because the level of accuracy required to produce an outcome does not allow for guessing. Go and read history. One of the Catholic priests was building a cathedral, and the wood finished. And they came to tell him that, sir, the wood has finished, and the man had no money to give them. He held the wood and said, how long do you need it to be? He started walking, and the and the wood was stretching with him. How long do you need it to be? That was the question. He started walking, and the wood was stretching with him.

Oh god. Let the sick man be healed right now. Let the leg grow hard right now. And people start shouting. How come one prayer really happened? Is it really God? What if he had used medication before? The fact that it is new, means that he just bought it and gave it to him, they are pretending. What a shame that we have lost a manuscript that was freely given to us, that made illiterates, ordinary men, women who knew nothing, do business with God and became mighty. Once upon a time, apostle Babadala was hungry.

He understood a key, and he opened the heavens and water came out of the rock. This is not trial and error. These men were custodians of mysteries. Archbishop Benson Dausa went around the world. No land could resist him. One time, Benin was laying hands on people, and he got to storm. The man removed his cap. Benin touched him, and Benin went after the power. The man stood up and said, I thank God he was a black man. A guy's face was bent.

Bent. Bent. He came to and the man said, look up to heaven. God, if if this is how your image is, leave him like this. How do you guess that? How do you guess that? God, if this is how your image is, leave him like this. Immediately, the man's face was not... A man went with and told you are a liar. God does not kill.

Said, let me show you. Die. You see, it is a shame that some of us are just hearing these things now because this is our spiritual heritage. Is it not true that when you start training a child in school, you teach them social studies. You teach them history of their nation. The advantages of being the citizen of their nation. Why? You are preserving preserving the sense of nationhood. We have lost that sense in this generation. The sense of spiritual nationhood.

We don't understand the extent of the dealings of God, and that is why our faith is not strong. Today, someone is favored. And in one month till it comes prosperous, we shout about it. We insult father of faith for building and buying lands. William Branham will stand and will not do anything. Members will come full like this even more. And the man will... They will come for his conference room. The man will hold the microphone and say nothing. We'll just be there, and I will say I'm waiting for my angel.

I'm waiting for my angel. And people will sit down for one hour, two hours, thirteen, sometimes even three hours. People would sit down on a man of God who they came to see and Jesus, and the man will say nothing. They both... He will stand. They will sit down. And they are looking. So what happened? He's waiting for his angel. And all of a sudden, a physical wind will blow into the auditorium.

And they would say my angel is here. And the man would immediately start moving in a a dimension of word of knowledge that I have never seen any man of God in today's time reproduce. Such accurate word of knowledge with so much speed. You can't doubt that the angel came. You keep people in church today for three hours. They say the service is too long. Yet, there was no service. People waited for a man. They brought someone with an alligator skin to AA Hallem. AA Hallem said, what is...

He said I was born like this, born like this, and the man removed the skin and tore it off. One of the Celtic flame fathers was preaching, and he said, do you know that the life of God is is within you? And they all said, we know. He said, you don't know. You don't know. Do you know you can speak to nature and nature? Yes, you. You can speak to inanimate things and in man... Inanimate things. Yes, you.

And he said, we know. He said, you don't know. Let me show you. And he went to a glass pulpit like this and said glass bent, and the glass bent. We are missing something. In as much as we are trusting God for these things, we must also take cognizance to note the system of preserving spiritual heritages. Do you know that I said that the pursuit of God is not left to guesswork? Knowing God and seeking God is not left to guesswork. The fear of the Lord is not left to guesswork. Honor and submission to authority, these are the ways of God from whence you stand and you see.

The secretness of the altar, prayer, worship, consecration. Biblical patterns for marriages, for family, for discipleship, for mentoring, purity in doctrine. Look at the gradual derailment of this generation. Look at the delusion in the word of God. We have so much substituted truth with motivational speaking. Begin scriptures that suit our emotions, disregarding every other ones just to justify your own deranged opinions. Nobody ever knows again is there was the time when sin had a definition. Now the the lines are not even clear anymore. A believer can misbehave. A believer can do whatever he wants to do, and the excuse his grace has got me covered.

And the fathers who did not know as much grace walked in plenty of holiness than you who do. And we'll call it legalism. Yet they loved God. Yet they feared God. Yet the things that they did, we have not reproduced. And we claim to have better knowledge than them. Let's think again. Let's think again. The lines are so blurry. You would say a man can do whatever he wants to do with a woman.

A woman can do whatever and says I'm covered by grace. How about the loss of reverence for the presence of God? The loss of reverence. Casual approach to sacred things. Somebody is worshiping God, and he put a camera on his face and Paul said, you're so faithful to the head, and you're so faith... And and that's what he's doing. That's worship. That's worship. And he puts his... He he he puts...

He says, myself right now worshiping God. Oh, thank you, Lord Jesus. In church. In church. Where is the honor for sacred things? Where is the honor for sacred things? Where is the honor for sacred things? It does not matter anymore whether you're in the house of God or you're in your father's house or you're in any man's house. We come to church so casually without any honor for where we are going to. Do you know that the disrespect and the disregard that plenty Christians exhibiting the house of God.

You cannot go to a shrine and do the same thing. Yet, nobody needs to tell you anything. You know, that nobody needs to educate you. You have watched in most things, in movies and stories to put fear in your heart. You enter into a shrine and you know I cannot misbehavior. You sit down, you can't even move anywhere. Ordinary water, you cannot drink. You are you are afraid. What do they put on in there? But come to the house of God.

It means our dishonor and disregard is a proof of lack of fear for God. And guess what? Out of the seven spirit of God, the first one is the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord. Almost as though the fear of the Lord no longer holds any dear value to this generation again. Anything... Do you know that what Joseph knew that preserved him in Potiphar's house wasn't doctrine, wasn't even all these things. The thing he said was, how can I do this thing and sin against the Lord my God? There is no knowledge again of the fear of God. It has gone out of place.

It's no longer a doctrine we preach. You find someone preaching that, they will say it's legalistic. How would you tell people? Fear the Lord. Whereas there is no reverence for God, no worshipful fear. If you're a believer, the fear of the Lord is something you must have. I fear God. I fear God. It must not go out of pattern. This is the ways.

This is the Haitian landmark. It mustn't go out of pattern. It mustn't go out of fashion. There are things you will not do because you fear God. Not because any man of God was there. Any preacher was there, but because you fear God. Whose attempted to touch the hack of covenant. And it resulted to loss of his life. In those days, when the priest is going into the temple, they would attach a rope to the waist of the priest. A very long rope as he's going to the temple.

And they would put a bell on that rope. So that as the bell is ringing, they will know he's still alive. He's still moving. He's still alive. Once they stop hearing that bell, they will know he's dead. The rope is to drag him out. In case anything happens, because how you presented yourself in the presence of God was so important. You couldn't do just anything. The fear of the Lord, the reverence for God. So the fact that God stands the same yesterday to...

And forever. The fact that we're an error of grace has not removed the fear of the Lord. You come to the hospital, you can press your phones, you can deal with a friend while the sermon is going on, you can gist around, you can... There is no fear of God anymore. No hunger for his presence, no hunger for the things of God. The author of prayer has become performance stages. Prayer meetings have become chat rooms. Meeting point couples. I saw something from time ago. On social media.

A couple was in church. They are not even a couple. They have not married. Maybe they are planning to get married. And the pastor was preaching. And the girl rested her head on the guy's chest. While the pastor was preaching. And the guy took it like this. And the pastor saw that and corrected it in church. The camera decree was reasonable enough not to show their faces.

Just the person's correction saying, uh-uh. Why are you doing that? This is the house of God. You should have regard for the house of God. If you can be doing this in church, I am not married. What are you doing out of the church? Check the comment section. You'll be scared for generation. You'll be scared for generation. Of God was written for instruction, for reproof, for correction.

That the man of God might be thoroughly furnished. It means if you will be thoroughly furnished, the word of God must instruct you. It must collect you. It must reproof you. Collect someone in church. You over there. Why are you sleeping? Stand up. He becomes angry immediately and say I will never come there again. What is that?

What is that? In those days, people will be accused wrongly of stealing church money, and they will be brought with the phone to the church. Even though it was wrong, yet you would see the love of God. That it wasn't about what they were doing, it was about the love that woman had for God that kept her coming. Because if it were that, bye bye. Some of you have seen your parents ill treated in certain churches and they remain there. Not because they love the church, it's because they love God. The love for God and the fear of God remain in their heart. Why do we come? Is it for men or for God?

How can the lion be so blood? How can the lion be so blood? Look at marriages right now. Look at family right now. There is a literal dismantling of God's roles for the husbands, God's role for the wives. Parenting has now been outsourced to media rather than built on scripture. Self centered Christianity. What can God do for me? What can God do for me? Over what can I do for the kingdom?

The doctrine of convenience that a man cannot make himself... Cannot inconvenience himself for the sake of the gospel. If it's not convenient for me, I won't come again. Do you know? We we organized a conference a time ago And delivered so much value. For students that are believers. Things you can never hear anywhere else. This we know. By revelation and by experience. And after over three hours of value delivered, They ask someone, so are you blessed?

He said I was blessed oh, powerfully blessed. Oh, wow. So we'll see you next Sunday. He said, no. I'm not coming. He said, why? They didn't give me food. How will how will I spend three hours and and they won't give me food? Do you know I told my friends that I was going somewhere? And my friends told me that I should follow them to where they are going because there's food there.

I insisted that I will follow you to where you are inviting me to, thinking that there will be food also. Now when I get back to my hostel, my friend will tell me, did they give you food or b, see our own food? I I could. You hear these things and you wonder, how how old is a man talking like this? That you came to the house of God, received this much value, and what you are most concerned is whether you were hurt or annoy him. What is that? Jesus looked at a people and gathered them together three days. They heard nothing and never complained. Jesus was the one who said, we can't send them away hungry. Get them something to eat.

Kenneth Hagin will hold conferences, twenty one days conference, And all will be full every day. Every day. Partial believers who are only committed to God on Sundays. There is no more definition to what it means to love God. Somebody can say I love God, but that touch thing, I don't do it with you. What is that? This is the reason why the ordinances are being forgotten. Because the lines are being blurred. People are now inventing their own pathways to what love of God means. I love God, I don't do church.

What is that? Where did you get that pattern from? The bible says, don't... You are not given the the permission and the privilege to invent your own pathway. How can somebody say that, you know, I'm too tired to go to church today? Why do you go there in the first instance? Do you go there because you are strengthened? Is that not where the weak is made strong? Do you have any value at all for the house of God? Any.

Any. I was showing my guy the scripture. I think it's acts four thirty two. Give it to me. Acts four thirty two. Out of the bible says, very clearly so. Now the multitude of those who... Can we read it together? One, go. Course, when you start from acts two, you would find that 3,000 people believed in one day.

Is that not so? You know... You all know that. Is that not so? Then multiple others were handed to them every day. Is that not so? You go on to acts three, and you still see the increase happening. Now in acts four, the bible now says, the multitude of those who believed, not the disciples. That means we are talking about nothing less than 7,000 people. Minimum.

The multitude of all of them were of one heart. Were of one soul. How can you get 3,000, 7,000 people and get all of them to have one heart and one soul? How do you know that they have one heart and one soul? That there is nothing that is being done in that church that somebody feels alienated from. Nobody was saying, may I I just come there because I'm blessed. Everybody was a part of what the church was doing. The bible says there was no one who said that anything that they honed was his own? Everyone had all things in common. It means if we say, let's go for evangelism, everybody showed up.

Everybody. Let's come for prayer meeting. Everybody showed up. Let's go for outreach. Everybody showed up. Let's go and give to the poor. Everybody showed up. Oh, one of our brothers needs a surgery and we need over 3,000,000. Everybody showed up. There was no one who felt as though I'm I'm no one.

You know, just come there. I just sit down at the back. The Bible says all of them. All of them. You look at what we have in churches today. Several people who are only spectators, who are only spectators. Whereas, the bible said, as many as are planted in the house of the lord. It means when it comes to the house of the lord, if you cannot be planted, don't come. Only go to a church that you believe and have conviction in enough to be planted there. That is when the rewards and the results that should come to your life on as many as are planted.

Are you with me? Yes, sir. Do you know that hunger for God has now become so blurry? Hunger for God. That if I'm hungry for God, he's saying, you know, it's the heart that God is looking at. I can do anything. Doesn't mean don't judge me. Don't judge me. Even the Bible says that we should not judge. The Bible doesn't say so.

Go and read your Bible very carefully. Today is not the day for that. Even the bible says we should not judge. Even the bible says we should not do I can't do anything I want my life. I'm a Christian. It's in the heart. It's not in the body. Where did where did that come from? The bible says if you want to start your work, there is an ancient way you will stand. That's where you will see.

It means if you're not standing there, anything you are saying is wrong. There is a way God is designed to be pursued. The bible says this is the generation that's seeking old Jacob. In other words, there is a pattern for seeking God as revealed in the life of Jacob. But any generation that wants to seek God must study Jacob and understand that pattern. You are not allowed to invent your own. The bible says, look unto Abraham and unto Isaac for I blessed him and I increased him. In other words, when it comes to the pattern of a blessed man, Elon Musk is not who you look up to. That is not the pattern. The pattern is look unto Abraham.

That is the pattern for believers. That is the pattern for believers. It has already been set. It means it is irresponsible of me as a man of God to come to the pulpit and use Elon Musk as my standard. These people, I will not tell them Elon Musk doesn't pay tithes, but look at him. It's not my reference. That is building another foundation that God did not build. You want to know how I blessed him, how I increased him? Look unto Abraham. And what did Abraham do?

He gave a tent of his hall. I don't therefore come and create a new... A different pattern and say, hey, you know, I've seen a different light. Any light that you see that is separate from this foundation is wrong. Paul says, cost be any man or angel who comes to preach a different thing all other than this gospel of Christ we have preached to you. Cost are they? If we lose what it means to be hungry for God, if we lose what it means to genuinely seek God, to genuinely love God, to genuinely fear God, there is a generation that will come after us that will not even know what it means to seek God again. What it means to sacrifice your time for God, sacrifice your money for God, sacrifice everything for God because we love him and... Have you not seen how people served God when it was least convenient for them? And they did it regardless.

Now we have it so much easy, so much easy, and many believer is as though the ease has made men lazy. I'm telling you it's a warning that if we do not rise up from this slumber, a time will come. They will rise a generation after us that will only become worse. Where you would mention Jesus on the streets, and you would almost be arrested for it even in Nigeria. Because truth is not relative. You can no longer tell someone the truth. They will tell you, you are you are you are you are infringing against my right. The bible says that we should go into the world and make disciples of all nations. The bible will able to go and preach. Preaching the gospel.

But you would see a believer say, you know, I'm very careful. I don't want to infringe on somebody else's opinion. If that becomes your mentality, how do we preach? Is that the narrative that will follow or the bible that is the constitution of your of your salvation? Of a salvation. Believers need to arise and awake from slumber. Many of you are already affected by this. A lot of you are entered into the this this quagmire of approval addiction that the devil has used to bedevil a generation. That your love for God is now something you are ashamed about because the peers and the friends you work with don't share the same conviction. And as long as you walk with them, you are afraid of expressing how much you love God.

Well, you are afraid of hearing them tell you, come on. You mean you do this? Uh-uh. Why now? How can you tell me somebody is a believer? And they are still at the clubhouse on Friday. What do you believe in? It can't be Jesus. It can't be Jesus. Somebody is a believer, and they see nothing wrong in the kind of friends they work with, the kind of association they are in.

You can be you can be in a lounge where everybody is drinking beer and smoking. And you can sit down there and say I'm a Christian. How can that be a thing? How can that be a thing? How can you be a believer and there's no moral standard? Nothing. Your life is no different from that of an unbeliever. How can that be so? So when we read our generation, what do we tell them? What do we tell them we caught?

What do we tell them we saw? What do we tell them was handed over to us by the... By our fathers? What do you tell them we saw? This is a charge to hell, to haul, and sundry, and to every man under this hand of my voice. And this thing was caused by pastors. We pastors are to blame for this lukewarmness because the moment we adopted a model that made the church a prenursery school instead of a training ground. We started raising children, and we did it for so many years that people now have now risen, and they have no idea what it means to love God anymore or to even be trained in church. Which battle are to play? There are many men of God on pulpit who have no idea what they are doing.

The only goal of the man of God is to raise crowd, raise money, build buildings, build structure as no as as no as no as no care in the world whether the lives of people are changing or or people are being transformed or men are growing. All he cares about is how many people came to church today. Are they increasing number? We need more people. What... How... What can we do to get more people? So all the structures and and strategies are all about getting more people and never about changing lives. Because if it were about changing lives, many of the things we have adopted in the church would never be there because they have no way of contributing to change souls and change lives. It doesn't matter what kind of song the choir does As long as it gets to youth in church.

So a trend can be trend coming from a second, a wordly song, a canal song. And you can bring it into the church because that is what the people like. It will get their attention. It will get them in. So the choir will come, and they will start singing nonsense. Babylon in the church, and it doesn't matter. People like it. People like it. How can a man be raised in a fifteen minute sermon? What what what are you making him into?

Do you learn anatomy in fifteen minutes? Mathematics in ten minutes? Sir. Pathology in twenty five minutes? Yes, sir. Even philosophy? No, sir. So how much more there was that has spirit and life? And we have so more we have so much sucked down on this thing that is no longer fashionable for a believer to sit down in class and learn the word of God for one hour. He starts he starts feeling sleepy.

His body is fighting him. His flesh is fighting him. He wants to go and ease himself. He can't stand down. Keep his body under for this. No. Never. No. Never. He's uncomfortable.

He wants to stand. He wants to go. That's when he remembers everything he wants to do. Yet, Monday, you are at work for more than nine hours, eight hours. You are in class for more than nine nine hours, eight hours. But on Sunday, they will say, you know, people are busy. People are busy. People are busy. When we started adopting these models in the church, we did not know that we are allowing the devil to grow with a generation. We thought that the silence of the devil meant that we had victory over the devil.

Not knowing that it was only a moment of silence. That's all. Momentary silence. In order to gain peace space to grow with a generation. And that he has done that, we are... We now have much work to do. The gospel has become largely materialistic. Largely materialistic. If you want to get the admission of people, you cannot preach doctrinal. Nobody is enough to stay there.

You have to tell them what the devil is doing in their lives and how God can solve it for them. Organize a lot of breakthrough conferences, a lot of... And and and there is no essence, no record. You cannot find Jesus in the midst of it. Why? It's a strategy for such growth. The more we become concerned about such growth strategy and least concerned about the growth of people, even inside that church, we will begin to adopt models. Whatever models that the devil suggest to us just to grow the church. And we have done this. We have done this again and again.

A lot of people are victims. And members who are naive, who are not even believers, don't have the discernment to know that this is not this this is not God's pattern for my growth. But the member cannot know. The sheep cannot know. The sheep is to be led. Wherever you lead the sheep, it will follow. So if you come and say, this is the will of God, it will listen to you. But you read the bible and you find out that this is not the model that is there. Jesus spent three years. And when he was done, when he was done, did you see the kind of men that he raised?

Illiterates. The Bible says, they saw the exploits that came from their lives, and they knew that they had been with Jesus. It turned illiterate to gods. The bible says, these men turned nations upside down. These were men that turned nations upside down. That was what the bible says about the kinds of people that Jesus raised when he was done. Can we say the same thing about what we are raising in church? Are we raising believers who need to keep on depending on pastors for daily sustenance? Because if apostle have not spoken, nothing can be done. Nothing can be done.

No progress can be made. There needs to be a revival even on the pulpit. Even on the pulpit. And I say this with love. And an apostolic correction to the body of Christ. Because in this mode that continues, I'm afraid for the coming generation. I'm afraid. A time will come that will not will not even gather again physically. We'll still let everybody meet online. And from online, don't come again.

Don't watch on television. From that, no knowledge of God anymore. It will only grow worse by generation. The bible says sound the alarm. Blow the trumpet in Zion. This is an alarm that has been sounded. Therefore, you do not want to lose God in this generation. We must go back to the ancient landmark and realize Christianity is not fashionable when we lose power, when we lose passion, when we lose zeal. These are the things that make Christianity authentic. Is what I'm saying clear to you?

Yes, sir. Yes. Yes. The thought must once again become the house of bread. The church was... Must once again become the house of bread. Where people are taught, where diamonds are made. Like the Cave Of Hadulam. Where weak men, men who are distressed, men who are discontent, rejects of society can go in and be made strong, a place of furnishing. I've heard it said once again, again and again, that the church is an hospital.

In as much as it may sound true, I don't largely believe that that is entirely true. Because an hospital is a place you go, and you are treated, and you live. So the idea that I communicate is I can come for a miracle, the pastor can pray, something happens to me, and I can leave. The church is a barrack. It's a training ground. You don't go to a barrack in one hour and say, I want to come a soldier. No. There is a regiment that that they take you through in ten seasons of training. That is how men are made. And if you want to carry the glory of God once again, it doesn't come cheap.

When was the last time you had a method on death? Allah, it takes dead men to see God. It takes dead men to carry God. Are these things out of fashion? No, they are not. It is still true today. You cannot be awake in your flesh and hope to carry the fullness of the expression of God's glory. Does the average believer know the organic working of the spirit? How the spirit leads every believer into prosperity, into greatness, into success? Or do you need to depend on external influences?

A prophet said, you know, a prophet told me, and you come to church, have you given yourself to the trend that happens in the church? This is the burden, and the burden is a call to wake up from this slumber. A lot of people under the sound of my voice are already slipping into this repression where the devil has been able to convince you. You have been part of those that the devil grew up with. You submitted to a standard and a model that was not God ordained or God defined. And you might have done so innocently, but you'll turn you into a weak believer incapable of hosting the power and the presence of God. There must be a change of mentality to realize that if you will carry power and be relevant in this generation and truly post God in the fullness of his magnitude, then you must submit yourself once again to this ancient landmark that the fathers have set. And know that prayer, fasting, spending time in the presence of God, all these things are not a waste. It takes time to know God. It takes time to grow.

And you must be willing to give that attention to your destiny. Rise up on your feet. I'm not wasting time calling upon the lord you're not wasting time The prayer is simple. The prayer is simple. The Bible says, I wake them that slumber. Listen. The reason why this body was placed in my heart is because this generation has fallen into slumber because the devil was careful enough to grow with this generation. And they are so imbibed culture. You'd see it in the media. You would see it everywhere.

He has been able to influence how we learn God, able to influence how we raise our children, able to influence how we mature in Christ, and a lot of people have become victims. So much so to define your love for God, your fear for God, by what media has shown you, and not by what is in scriptures. Listen, a time will come where if you're not careful, a son will slap his father and see nothing wrong in it. Have you not lost already the landmark of honor? Honor for the anointed, honor for fathers is no longer fashionable again to honor the anointed. Go and read your bible. The bible says that that woman, the Shunammite woman, the bible says she perceived that Elisha was a prophet of God. She perceived. She discerned in her heart. And upon perceiving, she made a room in her house.

Put bed there. Put chairs there. Put everything there in honor to the anointed. Call the anointed, please. Every time you travel by, please come and sit down here. Receive of my plate. Let me minister unto you. Honor for the anointed. David had many opportunity to kill Saul, and he would not. He said, touch not my anointed.

Touch not my anointed. Touch not my... As long as he's on that throne, he's still God's anointed. Even though God has left him. And when David heard that Saul had fallen, David said, tell it not in that. Publish it not in Hashkelon, how that the mighty has fallen. This is the Haitian landmark. Listen. Do you remember the story of the old prophet and the young prophet? How that there was a young prophet that came to come and deliver a message to a king, but an old prophet intercepted him by the way and made him disobey God.

And in the disobedience to God, God sent a lion to kill him. Boss, Whilst the lion killed the prophet in disobedience to God, the bible says the lion only killed him and could not eat him. Lion stayed there monitoring that body, watching that body to ensure that nobody could even touch the body. Until a befitting barrier was done. Because in as much as the lion was sent on an assignment to even touch the prophet after the prophet had been killed by the lion was not permitted to the lion. Because he is still the anointed of God. He is still the anointed of God. When prophet... When when when when when Abraham lied, Abraham lied that Sarah was his sister. God went to the king and told the king, you are a dead man because the wife of whom you took is a prophet.

God never came to Abraham and told Abraham, why would you lie? You're not getting what I'm saying? But right now, it is no longer a thing. It is now commonplace to dish onor the anointed. You would see social media, Christians, believers, tearing down men of God. When a father heirs, it is not your place to correct the father. It is also not your place to defend the father's error. Loyalty does not mean defend the error. Mm-mm. It is your place to pray.

Pray for the man and keep quiet. Keep quiet. Don't join the bad wagons of fools. Listen, unbelievers can speak. We have no choice about that. We will bear that cross. But these things create more gap across generations. Because the more we speak against father, the more we dishonor that grace and that mantle. Are you with brothers and sisters? Honor for the anointed.

But if God has placed his grace upon this life, he has elevated him. All men are not equal. No matter what society says, all men are not equal. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Yes. These are the ancient landmarks. These are the ancient landmarks. Honor for your parents. You cannot be rebellious against your parents because of what media has taught you. Honor for your parents.

Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be long. These are the ancient landmarks. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? And if we will carry power in our generation, we will not create a new path for ourselves. We will stand in the ways that has been set. And from that way, we will see. Can you tell God help me in your generation? I will not become a lost voice. In my generation. I will not become a lost voice.

I won't become a spectator. Only came to spectate others. That's not who I am. Come on. Lift your voice and pray.
