Transcript: The Rise of A Prophetic Generation
Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.
The experience is a meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network, where men encounter God, His presence and His power in an atmosphere of worship and the word. Join Apostle Emmanuel as he leads us into an experience with God. We are in a very prophetic season in the agenda of God in the body of Christ. And it is the responsibility of every spiritual leader in this season to get the word of God concerning their church. Concerning their people. As to their role in God's big picture. And I believe that there are men that God is raising right now who are going to be pivotal to the end time revival. Because if you will remain relevant in God's agenda, it is important that you stay attuned to what God is saying per time. And one of the ways to stay on the cutting edge of the move of God in your generation is to always stay attuned to his speakings. To always stay attuned to his speakings.
In Revelation chapter one from verse eight, the Bible says, I am Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end, saith the Lord. Which is and which was and which is to come. The almighty. Verse 15 says, and his feet like unto fine brass. As if they burnt in a furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters. I've studied the Bible and I found that it as though in order for God to do anything on the earth. It makes a sound. The Bible says his voice is as the sound of many waters.
It releases something. It speaks. It makes a sound. His voice speaks whenever he wants to do anything upon the face of the earth. That's why in Acts chapter two from verse one to verse two, in the day of Pentecost, the Bible says that there came a sound from heaven. There was no rain for three years those days and the city was in a state of famine. God had told Elijah the king in first Kings chapter 18 verse one that he was ready to pour rain on the earth. Now a lot of things have happened. The prophets of Baal gathered and they tried to call down fire but they could not. Elijah was able to call down fire and he had the prophet of Baal slaughtered.
Now just after that event in first Kings 18 from verse 40, the Bible says Elijah said to them, take the prophet of Baal, let not one of them escape. The Bible says, and they took them and Elijah brought them down to the brook kitchen and slew them there. In verse 41, and Elijah said to Ham, this is after three years of famine, get thee up, eat and drink for there is a sound, a sound of an abundance of rain. Before God does anything on the earth, it makes a sound. Elijah was able to tap into the frequency to interpret that the sound that God is making meant abundance of rain. It makes a sound. It makes a sound. There are few men who are able to tap into the frequency of the sound that God is making in heaven? To unleash whatever he wants to do on the earth. There are a few people who can know that God is making a sound.
But there are even fewer people who can know the interpretation of the sound. Because when Jesus gathered was with people, the multitude gathered around him, the Bible says the heavens opened. And a voice came from heaven and said, thou art my beloved son. In whom I'm well pleased, hear he him. And the Bible says that people that were around Jesus heard a sound. And it was like thunder. The sound that they heard was like thunder. But they could not interpret what was said. They did not hear precisely what was said. And the Bible says that the reason why the sound came was for the people who could not even interpret what was said.
It means it is possible that a sound comes to a people that God wants to do something on the earth. But very few people can discern what God wants to do. When God releases this sound on heaven, there's a way, a mechanism by which it corresponds into manifestation on earth. The counsel of God, the sound that God makes, there's a way that it corresponds into manifestation on the earth. That way is what is revealed in Revelations 19 verse 10. The Bible says, and I fell at his feet to worship him and he said unto me, see thou do it not. I am thy fellow servant. I'm of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God for the testimony of Jesus. Is the spirit of prophecy.
The Bible says the testimony of Jesus is captured in the spirit of prophecy. The testimony of Jesus is captured in the enablement that empowers men to prophecy. So it means when that sound is released in the heavens, the expression of that sound on the earth is that the spirit of prophecy that captures the testimony of Jesus will hit a man and that man will begin to prophesy. It is the prophesying of that man that brings about a corresponding manifestation of what God intends to do in heaven. That means that nothing God intends to do in heaven will find expression on the earth until a man prophesies. So when we prophesy, what is happening is that we are declaring the heart of God in heaven. We are declaring what God intends to accomplish in the earth realm. There are times when God wants to move in a family. But God cannot move in a family or in a generation over a people in territory independently. It will relieve a sound from heaven.
That sound is captured in the testimony of Jesus. Which becomes the spirit of prophecy. That a man functions under. That empowers the man to begin to prophesy. The man captures the burden of Jesus, the burden of God in heaven. Knows that this is what God intends to do in heaven and begins to release this thing on the earth. He can release them on the earth as intersessions. He can release them on the earth as prophesying. And when God wants to move It is important that there are prophets who can discern what he wants to do. Amos three verse seven, the Bible says, the Lord God does nothing.
Unless he reveals a secret to his servants. The prophets. The Lord God does nothing. Nothing means nothing. It means the Lord God will not do anything. Unless it's a conditional statement. It means if the Lord God will do something, he would need to declare it to the prophet. He would need to reveal it to the prophet. Prophets must then prophesy. So the condition with which the Lord God does something is that he reveals it to prophets.
Then prophets prophesy, then the Lord begins to do. That is the mechanism of action. Of everything that God intends to do on heaven, on earth. So it means, therefore, that over a family, Lord God will do nothing. Over Nigeria, over a generation, Lord God will do nothing. Over a territory, the Lord God will do nothing. Until prophecy goes forth. That's why it is important that a believer or at least in a generation, there are believers who can hear the sound that God is making. Who can hear the sound God is making over their finances. That when God makes a sound for instance, over your finances, over your family's fortune, and God says, you know what?
Though the sorrows may endure for the night, Joy comes in the morning. That means the morning signifies a change of season. When heaven declares that there is a change of season, there must be someone who can pick that sound like Elijah to say I I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. And there are several case studies like this in scripture. In Judges chapter six, when you start reading from verse one, the bible makes you see that the children of Israel did evil against God. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Midian and they were in the hand of the Midian for seven years. Now in verse six, Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites. And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. Look at this.
The children of Israel cried out to the Lord. So people were praying. Ah, thank you Jesus. People were praying. People were crying desperately. That we've been in this condition long enough. I want to show you something that I hope your eyes see. And it's important your eyes sees it. Because some of you This is not my teaching. I prepared the teaching for many hours.
This within the early hour of this morning. Spend a lot of hours studying and researching. But the holy spirit has an emphasis right now. Because I sense strongly. That there are people that the Lord God is quickening. This meeting might not be for everybody sincerely, it might not be for everybody, sincerely. I have to be sincere with you. But the way God does things is that even if it is for a person. Have you not read the Bible? The Bible says Jesus came to a pool where several multitudes were gathered.
They laid impotent folks. They laid lame legs and blind eyes and different kind of infirmities. And Jesus came there just for one man. I've not read your Bible. The Bible says Jesus traveled over many seas. And got into Kadarim. And he fought through the boisterousness of the waters. Did not turn back when the waters became boisterous. He fought through all of the challenges on the open seas to get to gathering. And when he gets to gathering, he finds a man.
Scripture shows the length that Jesus will go to to reach a man. Just one man. So let it not be a surprise that he can call a meeting like this. For a man. Let it not be an amazement that he can gather a confluence like this for a man. The Bible says that God told Moses, gather 70 elders of Israel. And I will take from your spirit and put it upon them. When he gathered these 70 elders, he took them outside the camp. This was where this great impartation was to happen. And as they gathered, true to his words, the Lord took from the spirit of Moses and put upon them.
And the moment the spirit came upon them, the Bible says, it began to prophesy. But the Lord looked and said, Kai, everybody is prophesying. But the two people who are even the reason for which this meeting was called, are not even here. Lord saw that they were inside the camp. Arrived there inside the camp where they were. They were not physically present with the people. They were just following online. And the spirit of the Lord traveled through the waves. Inside the camp where they were. Hungry and ready to receive something.
And the Bible says two men inside the camp started to prophesy. Started to prophesy. I don't have time to tell you what the history of these two men because they have history. Ah. Let me not show you today. When you go back to judges one, the people began to pray. The people began to cry to God. God we are tired of this circumstances. We are tired of this situation. We are tired of what is happening right now.
God, will you come down? Will you send help? Will you save us? Things are hard. We can barely afford to feed. The enemy has encamped us. There's inflation everywhere. There's almost nobody in this family who has a job. Almost nobody in this family who has ever reason. What is going on?
God, will you not come down and help us? And for this one, there was a whole nation that was in captivity. And they began to pray. In the same way many families pray. In the same way many churches pray. In the same way we pray over this nation, we pray over Nigeria. The children of Israel cried out to God. In verse seven, the Bible says, it came to pass when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites. Hear this, verse eight. That the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel.
It means wherever this prophet was, something came upon him. He heard a sound from heaven. He could pick accurately what God is saying right now. Please note this. It could pick accurately and discern precisely what God was saying, precisely what God was about to do. And God says in Amos chapter three verse seven, that the Lord will do nothing. Except he reveals it first to his prophets. And then the prophet comes to declare. So you're seeing this equation playing out literally here. That God wants to do something in response to the prayers of the people.
And how God does something first. The sequence of event begins with a prophet. And the prophet goes to them, watch this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel. I brought you up from Egypt. Brought you out of the house of bondage. And the prophet goes on to tell them that listen, you fell, you did all of this, but then help is coming. Deliverance is coming. All of this is coming. The prophet goes on to tell them all of this.
The Bible then says, let's start from verse 10. So you see, the prophet is telling them everything God told them, but they did not do, but then brought them open encouragement. In verse 11, watch this. In verse 11, the angel of the Lord now came and sat under the terebinth tree, which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash, the Abbezarite, which while his son Gideon, threshed wheat in the winepress in order to hide it from the Midianites. In the next verse, watch this. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, the Lord is with you, mighty man of valor. Now you know the story, Gideon. Is that not so? Gideon now became the eventual deliverer of the people of Israel from the hand of the Midianite. But you see, the destiny of Gideon as a deliverer could not be activated until a prophet prophesied.
That's what I'm showing you. That what God wanted to do was to raise Gideon as the deliverer. That was the solution. That was the intention that heaven had. But even that intention would not find expression until it is prophesied. By a prophet. You will then understand why the Bible says by a prophet, the Lord brought Israel Out of Egypt. By a prophet, Lord preserved them. Because what God wanted to do was to preserve them. And the system by which God will preserve them would be through a prophet.
It is in the same manner that God still brings people out of captivity by a prophet. It is in the same manner that God still preserves people. By a prophet. And what I'm trying to say based on the burden of the spirit to you this morning is that there are individuals amongst our numbers. That the Lord is conscripting as agents of preservation. I feel the need to share this so that you understand why it became a strong burden. That the Lord moves in this way because he's still moving like that. He's still moving like that. You know what the Bible says in Isaiah chapter 42 verse nine? It says, behold, the former things have come to pass.
New things I declare. Before they spring forth, I tell you of them. Now you read a scripture like this and you understand precisely why the Lord is telling you of them before they spring forth. Because they are springing forth is dependent on the ability of the prophet whom the Lord has told of this new things to declare. To prophesy. The new things might be deliverance. The new things might be preservation. The new things might be one of the council of God. It might even be breakthrough. It might be one of the council of God fighting expression upon the earth.
Finding expression in a territory. But the system through which God engineers anything he wants to do in the face of the earth is that he put a word in the mouth of a prophet. Now this does not mean that the person is a prophet. With respect to the office of the prophet. But it does mean that there are individuals that God find that the spirit of prophecy can come upon them. Even by the gift of prophecy. But the truth about the matter is before God can do anything on the earth. Anything on the earth. Don't have to do with being in the office of the prophet. Men can prophesy by the gift of prophecy.
Before God does anything on earth, he reveals it to his servants, the prophet. God wanted to paint the picture of a mighty army to Ezekiel. What God wanted to do was to raise an army in Israel. That was the picture God was painting. And God takes Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones. And the question that God has is simple. Son of man, can this dry bones live again? There is something I want to do with this dry bones. I want to raise this dry bone as armies. Because there is a war that is coming.
But for this dry bones to live again, son of man prophesy. Ezekiel attempted to forward it back to God. He told God, only you know it. And God replied, prophesy. In other words, I know that they can live. But I cannot do anything about their living until you prophesy. It is in the moment that you prophesy, that you partner with God, and the heavens open and wings begin to blow, that begins to enter into the noseries of these bones, that sinus starts to join together, that muscles and bones starts to look for themselves, But son of man has to prophesy. And the Bible is when when the bones connected and the sinus connected and the muscles came together and the tendons came together and the bones came together. And flesh came over the bones. The Bible says they became a mighty army.
An exceedingly great army. That was the intention of God. To raise for himself an exceedingly great army. But a prophet had to prophesy. Ah, God. It means that can these dry bones live was not for sure. The wind coming was not for sure. There was something God intended to do. There was an intention that God had. An exceeding great army was meant to rise.
Ezekiel had to prophesy. What many people have not discovered is this. Till now. When God wants to do anything till now, even in a family, and there are still families that are praying and crying. There's a difference between crying to God and prophesying. The way God answers the prayer of the man that is crying is to send him someone to prophesy. A man can be crying to God about the situation of his family. A man can be crying to God about the situation of his state or his community. A church can even be crying. But God sends a prophet.
When he wants to answer their prayers, God sends a prophet. Men and women who can discern. The Bible says that the men of Isaka had an understanding of the times and the seasons. To know what Israel ought to do. The Bible never calls this men prophets. But one thing that they had was discernment of times. The moment seasons change, there was something within them that could know that seasons have changed. Let's not continue doing what we've been doing, the way we've been doing it. Ah, it takes prophets to discern. That the method we have been using for this business, it will no longer suffice.
Oh, blessed is he, when the businessman can discern. When he can discern that seasons are about to change. And anyone running this model of business or doing this kind of way will soon fade out of existence. It means to remain sustainable in wealth. There is a way we have to pivot. Let's quickly pivot and it begins to arrange his house. And everybody is looking at him because whilst he's pivoting, everything still looks okay. Everything still looks good. Nobody understands why a man is preparing for something they've not yet seen. But then he has seen it because God has shown him new things I'm about to do.
Start preparing your house. Start preparing your house. Start preparing Start preparing your your house. House. That was the advantage that Joseph had in Egypt. When God wanted to preserve Israel, there was going to be famine. And nobody could tell the green the dream or even interpret the dream of the king. And Joseph came and the spirit working in him could discern. Could bring interpretations. And with interpretations, he knew what Israel ought to do.
That seasons are going to change very soon oh. And Joseph was never called a prophet. In fact, he was a business person. Just in case somebody thinks. What we are talking about is those who are calling to the office of the prophet. We are telling you that the way to remain important, the way to remain relevant in the agenda of God and to be in the cutting edge of the move of God is to be able to discern what God is saying. And there are men that God raises specifically for that assignment. That their responsibility within the body of Christ is to become accurate voices of what God is doing part time. Accurate voices. That's only the first layer.
The second layer is where those that God has shown this thing to. Those that God has told, this is what I'm about to do. Or this is what I'm doing. Or this is what I'm going to start doing right now. Those that God has revealed this thing to. Will then now insist Now Isaiah 42, when you read Isaiah forty two nine that we read, it says, the former things have come to pass, new things I declare, before they spring forth, I tell you of them. Verse 10 then says, sing to the Lord a new song. So in context, what is the definition of a new song? You have not seen it yet. Go back to verse nine.
And you read it now. I think it's because I'm reading it. One, two, three, go. Pause. Read it again. Continue. Next verse. So what is the definition of a new song? It's not a newly composed song. Is a song detailing the something new God has declared.
It means there are time a believer sits down and a song drops in his spirit. And the song becomes recurrent, recurrent, recurrent. And if he's not been taught to discern, he would not know. That what he's doing at the moment is singing to the Lord a new song. What is required to do is not just to be shaking his head in the spirit. He said sing it. Sing it. That thing that have been declared is now put in a song. Sing it. And what happens when you begin to sing to the Lord a new song next verse?
Next verse, all of this is singing to the Lord a new song. What happens after is that the Lord goes forth like a mighty man. This is contextual reading, you see. That we not wasting our time when we begin to sing to the Lord a new song based on the declarations we have heard. I really believe that there are voices that God is raising in this generation who are here. I really believe. It's not really something to shout yes or no. Really, it's not. It's you can you can but it's not. It's a prophetic thing I'm saying.
Is a prophetic thing I'm saying because the burden is so strong. Burden is so strong. Burden is so strong. And while some are declaring the new things, some are singing it in the new song. Hence the Davidic ministrels. Because that was what David was. The entirety of the Psalms is a song. Written by a psalmist. Of events that have not yet transpired but will transpire. The Lord said to my Lord, sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.
I will send the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Saying, your people shall be willing in the days of thy power. All of this was a song. Blessed is the man whom the Lord does not impute iniquity. Is a song. Written by a time where the Lord was imputing iniquity. And yet he was singing of a time that would come. When the Lord would no longer impute iniquity in a song. God. In that same Psalms, you said, sing to the Lord, oh my soul, for his mercies endures forever.
And you need to sit down for a moment to analyze that statement, his mercies endures forever because in what dispensation did his mercy endures forever. You don't say what I'm saying. That's a man singing to the Lord a new song. That's what the Psalms was. Declaring what God was about to do on the earth. Declaring what God was about to do on the earth. It was the same David who said, I will reveal his dark sayings upon the heart. I will speak of his dark sayings upon the heart. Do you ever thought that the music instrument that a musician plays can speak? Upon the harp.
It goes on to say, the next level I was explaining is where those that God has now revealed this thing to. Now begin to intercede. That's the word given to it. Intercession. In other words, the responsibility committed into their hands is not just to speak forth what they have seen. In fact, some of them might never even have a open microphone or something or have platforms where they can speak forth and say, this is what God has said. No, no, no, no. The assignment is not to do that. There are very few people that God give forth ministries to. To the larger percentage of people, what God does is to make them intercessors.
In other words, this thing that I've shown this person, that this person has declared, that I've shown you as well, now stay on that thing. And begin to intercede. Begin to pray. Begin to declare. Begin to prophesy again and again and again and again. Until this thing finds expression. That's what captures the ministry of an intercessor. Until this thing finds expression. Begin to declare. And if a believer on an average does not function in the spirit of the prophet or with the spirit of the prophet as an intercessor.
It would mean that there will be many things that God will speak over you. There will be many things that God will declare over your life and destiny that will never find expression. Amos three seven. God will do nothing. Did you say that again? It means when God has revealed his intention and his counsel and his will and his purposes over a man's life, the man has a responsibility in insisting that based on what has been declared, this thing finds expression. The moment Elijah said, I hear the sound of an abundance of rain, popular scripture. What does the king do? The king went to call a feast. Instantly, the king heard it and went to call a feast, went to rejoice, went to fill his heart with wine.
Elijah, who declared that prophecy, did not go to celebrate, did not go to call a feast. The Bible says he went up to a mountain with his servant and he went to pray. And he prayed the first hour. This is the same person who said, I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. So if you have heard the sound of an abundance of rain, why then do you still need? To keep on praying for what you have already heard. Because the purpose of prayer when you have heard a sound is to turn what you have heard into what you see. Into what becomes an experience physically. And Elijah prayed like this seven times for seven hours and hours watch each. And he would come to the servant.
What do you see? And the servant would see nothing. And he would go and pray again. Lord, we've already heard the sound. That's the purpose of the prayer. The purpose of the prayer is insisting that Lord, we have heard what you have said. But we are not yet seeing what you have said. And the purpose of the prayer is insisting that what you have heard must now begin to tally with what you have seen. That is still the responsibility. Of the ministry of the prophet.
That God is risen. Believers who would function in this ministry. And over this ministry, there is something God has said. Ah. Oh, oh, if a man is a pastor over a church and you cannot prophesy. You cannot hear the heart of God over your church. You cannot insist. Spend time in prayers to insist that whatever God has said, it's even in someone who has even heard the heart of God that begins to insist. Insisting is the second level of this. The first level is being able to discern the sound.
Being able to interpret the sound. Being able to know precisely what God is saying. Right now, and then the second level is being able to insist on what God is saying until he finds expression on the earth tangibly. Tangibly, this is the reason why a lot of people has heard prophecies. That has not found expression in their life because that is only the first level. That's the reason why churches have had prophecies that have not found expression in their lives. In fact, it is possible that a man of God comes for instance over a church that is say not growing or that has not been growing and they brought say a spiritual father to come and prophesy and to come and pray and the spiritual father comes to the church and then stands over the church and says the Lord has released the word over this church. There's an anger drain. You have entered into a time of growth. What would happen is that people begins to rejoice.
Everybody begins to shout. Everybody begins to rejoice. Whoo. An anger during the time of growth. But that was not what Elijah patterned. What the prophet has said is a sound. The sound of an abundance of rain. That sound must now be taken into the prayer place. So that it becomes sight. So that it becomes reality.
So that it becomes what we see. So the moment they heard it that sound, sound of an abundance of rain, all of them would now do their due diligence. To go do what? To go into the prayer place and begin to say God, you have said by your prophet, it is time for an anger dream. Now we begin to declare, let the anger dream begin. Let the anger dream begin. As they begin to pray, more layers of the same prophecy will be getting unveiled to them. They begin to prophesy again and again until the Bible says, Elijah prayed the first hour, saw nothing. The second hour, saw nothing. The third hour, saw nothing.
The fourth hour, saw nothing. You've only prayed the first hour you have stopped. The idea behind intercessive prayer is that we don't stop until we see. That's the idea. It means, one of the thing that follows the impartation of an intercessor is staying power. The ability to stay. To stay. To not rush out. And you can go out and what you are still seeing does not yet look like what God has shown you. Oh God.
My mother is a woman like that. My mother is a woman like that. My mother is in her sixties. My mother still goes to the mountain. My mother still climbs mountains. My mother still travels to mountains. If I call my mother, where are you on Monday? Ah, I'm in a program right now. I'm in a program right now. The prayer people that come to pray with me, there's a vigil right now.
There's a almost every time. And I told my mother, mother, will you rest? You're getting hold. Please rest. You've shifted into that season of your life where you should be resting. And my mother laughed. He said no. There is something God showed me. There is no rest until I see it. The impartation comes with Stay in power.
There is something God has showed me. That was what happened with Hannah. The prophetess. Who remained inside the temple. Who remained inside the temple. And all that she was doing was praying for the salvation of Israel. The same for Simeon. In fact, Simeon is even very very powerful. Note that both of them who were brain were not even the salvation. The same for the prophet who prophesied and Gideon manifested.
The salvation was what God intended to do, but there were men who had to pray it into existence. There were men who had to pray it into existence. In fact, what I found out is this, there are times that what God intends to do. Is through you. And you would have to pray it into existence. Because not every man would be as lucky as Gideon. That you can just be hiding away somewhere and prophet has come to prophesy your destiny. And because a prophet has come to prophesy your destiny, you just arise. Do you know what Paul told Timothy? Paul told Timothy, he say come, come, come, listen to me oh, steer up oh.
Steer up. The gifts. Which is in you. Through the laying on of hands. There's one he says. First Timothy chapter one verse I want us to read it together everybody. So for Timothy, just the fact that there were prophecies made does not mean that the prophecies made will find expression. Are you with me? Question. Who are the prophecies about?
Did you hear prophecies concerning you? So the prophecies were concerning who? Whose responsibility was it to make a good warfare? So if the prophecies were concerning him, it shows that this is what God intends to do through Timothy. In Timothy. And it was responsibility of that same Timothy. To make a good warfare. In other words, to insist that there is no rest for me until I see it. Oh. There's no rest for me until I see it.
So when impartations come upon people and the spirit of the prophet comes upon people, it comes as well with the staying power. The staying power. Otherwise, it's not what you received. It comes with the staying power. It an enablement of the spirit. Where a man has the ability to insist. I've not seen it yet. I've not seen it yet. It's not what God told me. It's not what God told me.
And a man continues to insist. Do you know how long Hannah was in the temple? That it can take that long yet a man continues to insist. Do you know what Simeon said? When Simeon carried Jesus, Simeon entered into the synagogue and carried Jesus in his hands. And whilst he was holding that baby boy in his hands, the Bible says it took him up his hands and he blessed him. And when he blessed him, he says my eyes have seen. It is now you are letting your servant depart in peace. Look at it. According to your word, next verse, for my eyes have seen.
Your salvation. Go back to the previous verse. You are letting your servant depart in peace. According to your word next verse my eyes have seen your salvation next verse which you have prepared before the face of all the peoples next verse A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of your people, Israel. So, that means the reason you've kept me alive all this while. Is to see. It is now that my eyes have seen it, I can now depart in peace. It means God insisted that this man will not die until his eye sees it. That's literally the weight of staying power. That see, my eyes will sit.
I can't go anywhere until I see it. I believe that there are people that God will raise on behalf of this ministry. Based on the iconic role that this ministry plays in the last day agenda. And what God will do is to open their eyes to see it. Not because a man says it, but because they see it. God will tell them, it's a sound they will be able to pick from heaven. But you see, that revival we've been prophesying. You see that revival we've been declaring. You see, the whole problem of Nigeria and all of these things that you see. I've raised for myself.
A vision that will solve it. And your responsibility becomes intercede. Intercede. You will not depart until your eyes sees it. So that in the day that the nations gather, a young man will say Kai, this is what we've prayed for. This is precisely what we've prayed for. This is precisely what we saw. The same for your own destiny. The same for your own life. The same for your own ministry and greatness and success.
If a man does not understand this that I'm teaching you, greatness will be far from you. Because when you see, the scripture says, thou shall increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. That is a good scripture to quote, is that not? Is even a good scripture to confess. But it's a different thing entirely when that thing lights up in your spirit. And God speaks this thing directly to you. That is not just something that he tells everybody. It's not something everybody is quoting in scripture, it now becomes something God has told you. But a man can now say, God told me that he will increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. And somebody says ah, but you are quoting scripture, mm-mm.
This one God told me, it's in scriptures but God told me, I open scriptures and it came to me. The moment it comes to a man like that, what he begins to do is make good warfare, stay in power, it comes with the spirit of the prophet. Stay in power, begin to intercede, begin to declare, begin to do warfare with these things until you see it. Until you see it, until you see it. Listen to me, the consequence of taking this for granted is many. Is many, is many, is many, is many. So that when we ask people to pray, it is useless not knowing what to pray about. It would mean that the spirit of the prophet has not come upon you. Because the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy. The testimony of Jesus is captured in the spirit of prophecy.
A testimony that Jesus is making even over your life is captured in the spirit of prophecy. And when the spirit of prophecy comes upon a man, a man picks that sound, interprets what God is saying, and begins to prophesy after. So that you can say like Ezekiel said, I prophesied as I was commanded. I prophesied as I was commanded. Difference between crying and prophesying. When a man is crying, he's basically reporting the situation around him to God. When a man starts to prophesy, he's basically declaring what God has told him he would do about that situation. It's a it's two different things. So when a man cries, God sends him a man that prophesies. And you can be that man who prophesies.
You can be that man who prophesies. Why is this important right now? It is important because Nigeria is in a mess. More than ever before, Nigeria is in a mess. It's important because there's an outreach right now. People are hungry. Insecurity is rising. And all kinds of biases here and there. All kinds of theories here and there, people who believe that it is political, people who believe that it is not, whether it is political or it is not, the fact is that human life is dying. The fact is that there is evil in the land.
And the fact is that the evil is continuing to prevail. That's the fact of the matter. It doesn't matter what is engineering the evil. The fact is that there is evil. Reminds me of Isaiah 42. That says these are your people who have been spot. Who have been plundered. But none see it restored. Last part of that scripture. Say it to God.
Amen. They've been plundered. How they've been plundered does not matter. The fact is that they've been plundered. Whether they are being plundered is now a political strategy. Does not matter. The fact is that they've been plundered. Those who are victims of that evil. You see, and the problem with the average man is that if he's not near his door, he's not concerned. That's the problem with the average man.
I heard the story of a young man this morning who lost both of his parents. Once they were immigrants, they were immigrant in another land, I don't want to mention name of the country, and there was unrest happening in various parts of that country, but in the central city, there was no unrest. In fact, the government of their home country has sent planes to go evacuate citizens of their country. They could have easily followed the plane at any point in time. But they just thought to themselves that it's for those who are in the battlefield, it's for those who are being affected directly, it's for those who are in the areas where these things are happening. I mean, we are in the central city, nothing is happening here. We are safe. We are okay here. So they didn't mind. They were sleeping in the morning by 2AM.
When sounds of war entered into the capital city. All of a sudden, it happened suddenly. Nobody planned for it, fire everywhere. Houses burning, people shouting. Before they knew what was happening, bandits had entered into the house. Broken through the gate, the parent pulled the young boy, he was a boy then. Poor young boy were rushing him out of the city and they were told that there is a plane about to leave, sent by their own country to evacuate the last group of people. By the time they got there, were able to drive their way through all the traffic, through all the commotion, got down, it is a evil thing to experience war. Evil thing to experience war. By the time they skidded through all of that and they got to the airport, the plane was already gearing to move and they were told that oh, there's no longer space in the plane, they can't move.
Young boy. I think they said it was about ten or so then. They can't move. When they said this, they then saw citizens of the country where the war is happening being bundled inside that same plane that their own country sent to come and take them out of the country and say ah the priority should be on us who are citizens of our own country why this one has been bundled instead Then they found out that those ones that paid a huge amount of money to secure seats. To escape the war that is happening in their own country. So that the ones who have been freely evacuated could not be evacuated. Because the rich and powerful have bought spaces. They begged and begged and begged, then one lady looked at them and said the only thing I can do for you is take your boy. He took the small boy off the plane, there was no seats, just squashed him somewhere, that was the last time he saw his parent. Both of them dead.
And the question that he was asked, why didn't you guys move? I mean the, since you heard that the war was in this place and things were happening here, why didn't you relocate? Why didn't you travel? He said well, we just thought where we were was peaceful. And that's the situation of the average man. If he does not reach your door, it does not concern you. Because what I'm saying now even has nothing to do with evacuation. It has everything to do with the amount of seriousness that will now give in to what is happening around us when it reaches our front door. One of my daughter's father has been kidnapped before. It wasn't in Northern state.
Whether it is politics or not, is that what the person whose father was kidnapped is thinking about? So the fact that you even have time to analyze the evil, show that you are not even serious. All of these things is political. When they come to the front of your house, tell the bandit that it's political. Yesterday, from Ibadan to Lagos, people were travelling. And gunmen arrayed themselves on the road. And stopped an array of vehicles with guns blastering. People were trying to hit Legacy by the expressway. People were trying to reverse and quickly make a U-turn then they saw other side of the other side of the way, two gunmen were there, also plastering. Nobody could move.
Everybody gunned in their vehicles in fear. Children were there. Mother and father were there. Then the gunman came near and shouted, the last person to come out of the car is dead. People were scrambling out of the car. And this young man who was disabled on one leg crawled out of the car and they shot him dead there. Being the last person that came out. I read them into the bush and that was just the end of it. Whether it is political or not, does it concern those ones? He says, these are a people plundered.
Robbed plundered all of them snared in holes, Escape, running for their lives. Hidden in prison houses. They are for prey and the problem now is no one. Delivers. This is why it becomes a burden on a Sunday like this. No one delivers. No one delivers. And just in case, the reason why anybody is not delivering the God there is no deliverer. Okay. Can somebody just say restore?
Because he doesn't say no one restores. For no one delivers, he does not say no one say delivers. No one delivers and captures or captures what God intends to do about that situation. No one delivers. In other words, there is meant to be someone who can do something about it. Is that not so? Action wise. What God intends to do. But just in case that person does not exist, can nobody say. That's the ministry of intersession.
That's the ministry of intersession. And when God wants to raise a man over a city, when God wants to raise anointed voices like this, what he does is come to meetings like this, where he searches for men. That's what Ezekiel says, I sought for a man. I sought for a man. That's what he does. In the book of Exodus chapter three, from the seven nuns of verse 10, God started by telling Moses, this is why what is happening is important. God started by telling Moses that I've seen the oppression of my people who are in Nigeria. I have heard their cry because of their task masters. I know their sorrows, he says. Look at this.
The next verse says, so I, God, have come to deliver them. When you go back to that previous verse, you got to see everything God says. God says, I have seen the oppression. I have heard their cry. I know. So I've seen the oppressions. I have heard it. I know their sorrows. And then in verse eight, it goes on to say, I now have come down to deliver them. In verse nine, it then says, now therefore behold.
In other words, I have seen it, now see it. That's the meaning of behold. Behold the cry of the children of Israel. Behold. The cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Behold. You have, that's why God does what he does in these meetings when he begins to conscript people. And he begins to open their eyes. What he does is telling them behold. Is making their eyes see.
So that their voice can begin to roar in prayers, restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore. Restore.
Because I've seen, I've seen the future. I've seen the future. Oh, brothers and sisters, I've seen the future. I've seen what happened in this nation. Within few months, a year and two years. I'm not one to give prophecies of doom. So I keep quiet and then we just pray. I keep quiet about those things I've seen and just pray. Just pray. But I have sinned.
Whatever is happening now is not new. Those who've been with me, know that I said it. I said precisely what will happen if this government takes power. Some might have forgotten, some might still remember. Precisely what will happen if the government takes power, we said it. Based on what we saw. And it's not even begun to happen. This is also steering. And there are men that must see. There are men that God must place a burden upon beyond themselves.
Who must stop saying but I'm still young. That's what Jeremiah was saying when God came to him in a time like this to conscript him. And God said young man, I've made you a prophet. Jeremiah was still saying I'm a young boy. I'm just a student. I'm going to school. And God said, will you keep quiet? I've made you a prophet over nations. I've set you above nations. And I've put my words in your mouth.
And my words in your mouth will be like fire. And your responsibility will be to root out, to pull out. To pull out. Get down. To pull down. And God was speaking to a teenager and he's saying, I've put my words in your mouth. I've put my words in your mouth. It was in the same Jeremiah that God told Jeremiah, my words in your mouth will be like hammer. It will break down. False.
Five and verse 14, he said to be like fire. That's why God has brought you here. That's what he's doing. He's placing a burden on your inside that is beyond you. Because the destiny of the prophet is solely beyond him. Is really beyond him. There are thing when what God is doing also has to do with you, then God also makes you begin to see you. There are times God begins to show you your own destiny inside his agenda and you have a responsibility to also prophesy. There are some of you God will show you like like Ezekiel. Son of man, look at the dry bones.
God will take you to the valley of the dry bones. It is painful because that dry bone is a representation of a mighty army. The filter of the dry bones is an exceeding great army. But right now, they are dry bones. An exceeding great army but they are dry bones. An exceeding great army but they are dry bones. And God will say behold, behold, see. See, look at the future of this army. This is a great army but what they have right now is bones. And they don't even know their bones.
They are on social media tweeting. They are on social media making noise. But they are only clanging bones. Son of man prophesied. And a man will be in his room prophesying. And that is prophesying, a Gideon is echoing in his room. Sitting down under the wine press and God got an alarm of destiny is ringing over his head. Because one boy is prophesying. One boy is insisting that Nigeria will not hang like this. Hey, Gideon is hiding in the wine press.
Hiding. And whilst he's hiding, have an encounter with God. Because one boy is prophesying. One boy is declaring and it's not every time that a man will see the arrival of the Gideon that he prophesied for. In a season God will put a burden in your heart and you begin to pray with staying power, it will come like a weight on your chest and God will not leave you alone until you breath it out, you breath it out, you breath it out, you breath it out. When that work is done, another one will come again. But when you think you have breathing space, another one will come again, you begin to breath it out. Because one more serious store, many more serious store. Many must say enough is enough. Over this nation.
Enough is enough. Over this territory, enough is enough. There must be guardians who would look at Oyo state and say no, no, evil will not come to this city. There must be guardians that must see. Evil don't just happen anytime, anyhow. There must be guardians that must see. Uh-huh. It can't be heard that your family was traveling and were stopped by bandits. Did anybody not see? Can anybody's eyes not see?
Is there no prophet in the land? I will not make you hear a call and say, oh, they've captured somebody. Come on. Not when I'm alive. Oh, there's a there's a steering in the land That's why God is raising prophets. It is because there's a stirring in the land. There's a stirring in the land. That's why God is raising prophets. Si, Si. There's an harmony that must rise.
That's why God is raising prophets. There's an harmony that are still bones. They are still bones but they are harming. The girl is still a slay queen but she's an army. Make a good warfare. Make a good warfare with his prophecies. Find the flames of the spirit. Find the flames of the spirit. I might not be speaking to everybody here. But there is someone that I'm speaking to their spirit.
I'm not speaking to your body. Your spirit is hearing the language I'm speaking. For the words I speak are spirit and they are life. But an energy of the spirit. Your spirit man knows. I'm the one they are talking to. I'm the one they are talking about. Your spirit man knows. I can't keep quiet. Just break my nose.
The destiny of a nation is upon my head. There's a burden that I'm carrying. There's a burden I'm carrying. Oh yes. Make a new sound. A new thing do I declare. Son of man, a new thing do I declare. The former things have come to pass. The former things have come to pass. There are new sounds rising.
There are new mantles dropping. There are new mantles dropping. And there are men that will hold the horns of the altar. And they will prophesy. As they are commanded. They will insist that not in my time. But while I'm alive. But in my time. But while my life. Jeremiah is rising again.

The fire of God has come upon your heart. Even if you try to be normal, you can't be normal again. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Their revival is under the sound of my voice. Men that will set other men on fire. There's fire coming upon them. You're born to fly There are 14 of them, seven young men, seven young women. Seven young men, seven young women.
And Lord tells me that he's placing fire upon them. And the assignment of that fire is so that they can put it upon other men. The Lord tells me men will come to me for fire. But I will send them to you. For you have been given an assignment to light men, to light men. To set men afliat. To make men born. There are 14 of them. Seven of them are men. Seven of them are women.
