[0:33] Father, thank you for your word. Give us an encounter in yourself through your word, for your word is truth. Thank you, in Jesus' name.

[0:45] And as I want to shout amen. Amen. Shout and believe in amen. Amen. I am a believer. I am a believer.

[1:01] Bible says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and God said, let there be light, and there was night.

[1:17] And so, God makes by saying. Let's just say that together. God makes by saying. Say it again. God makes by saying.

[1:29] Say it for the last time. God makes by saying. God makes by saying. So, when God says, that means he's making.

[1:41] That's why I told you, I told somebody, I told you that, tonight, someone is getting his job, someone is getting his house, someone is getting his life, someone is getting your child.

[2:00] Because all you need, is for him to say it. If God says it, and he enters your spirit, Bible says that, blessed is he who believes, for there shall be a performance.

[2:17] Luke chapter 1, verse 45. The performance of God, has to do with the word, you have believed. Sometimes, when I'm teaching, I like to, think, and rationalize things, because, one thing religion will strip you of, is rational.

[2:43] That's why, someone can just jump on a, a plane to go and, bomb people, or, kill himself and kill others, because of religion. Because, religion makes you stop thinking.

[2:57] So, there are people who are Christians, but every now and then, they become very religious, about their Christianity. So, they go through motions, without having insight, and understanding.

[3:12] Watch this. How many of you, believe there is God? Even the atheists, believe there is God. I mean, he knows it.

[3:24] He just tries to convince, himself there isn't. He's just, covered, shut up, but he knows there is. It's like a woman, whose son has been arrested, for, armed robbery. And he said, no, my son can't do that.

[3:36] My son is, it's not my, my son is not a thief. Meanwhile, the person is, being convicted. You know, but, you just, you just don't want to accept it. I know people sometimes, they lose a loved one, they say, no, it's not dead.

[3:48] The person is not dead. You can't see the body, but it's still, no, no, I don't believe it's dead. That's what atheists do. They see facts, but they decide, they intentionally decide, to blank their reasoning, in that direction.

[4:01] No, it's not. So, if you believe there is God, if there is God, then, the Bible, must be true.

[4:13] I don't know, you're wasting your time here. You're wasting your time here. I don't see why, a rational human being, who will not really believe, whether there is God or not, come and sit here.

[4:26] And come and, listen to the Bible, being preached to you. And you don't even believe the Bible, you're wasting your time. So, if, watch this, if there is God, then the Bible is true.

[4:39] If the Bible is true, then, what it says, it will do, and what it requests of you, if you're able to do it, and, if you're able to do what it requests of you, then the Bible will also do, what God says he will do.

[4:51] Does that make sense? It's a simple one. But, you know, many people say, but why, why is it that there is God, but I'm not, I'm going to church, but I don't experience, all the blessings, or, it boils down to, our understanding, and our application.

[5:10] The understanding of the truth, and application of the truth. I remember, years ago, I was in a service, and a man of God was teaching, and he said something quite interesting, which makes sense, but, he said, most of us, most of us Christians, we come to church, we don't think, everything is, yes, everything, yes, we don't think, we don't like reading, we don't like studying, we don't want to think, because we are believers.

[5:42] We believe, we don't think, we believe. It depends on how you look at it. You know, it declares on, there are so many people, who are thinking, and they are dying.

[5:55] It doesn't mean, that when you are a believer, you can't think, even to believe, you must think, before you can believe. You must think, before you can believe. I'm going to show you, in the Bible, there must be facts, you believe.

[6:10] You can't say, I believe, believe what? Believe what? I believe that is Obama. It's not a factual belief, but definitely, you must believe something.

[6:24] And what we believe in, has, they all point, to go through it. Someone say, I believe. So when you say, I believe, it's not just, a cliche, or platitude, or vague statement, you know, just I believe.

[6:39] Yeah. When you say, I believe, you must have a fact, something your, your feet is on. There must be a basis, of your belief. That's why, when we come to church, we teach God's word.

[6:52] We study God's word. So that it can, it can enhance, someone's faith, and someone's belief. It's going to be, very exciting, here tonight. Amen.

[7:02] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. By the time this service is ending, someone's life has changed forever.

[7:18] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's not because someone is coming to pray for you, but it's because you have found yourself.

[7:29] Amen. Who are you? I'm a believer. How come I didn't realize this? I'm a believer. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[7:44] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[7:54] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[8:05] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. At that time I was praying for somebody. You know where I'm going.

[8:17] I had to actually stop the prayer. Because I realized that the sister was really receiving. But when she began to receive further. She had to stop receiving.

[8:33] I remember I have been scared. But just recently. There was so much power in the building. I laid my hands out. The sister was receiving. I think she remembered.

[8:46] That she doesn't have to receive too much. And lose control. So she started regaining consciousness. I can tell she was coming along. Halfway. Coming around halfway.

[8:58] And then I realized that she has been distracted. So in the spirit. Sometimes you can tell. When there is an impartation. You can tell the flow had been interrupted. But it's not her fault. Tell someone I'm a believer.

[9:14] I'm a believer. Wow. I feel the miracle power of God in the building. That's why I'm taking my time.

[9:30] Because I need to teach. I need to teach. I'm picking up signals about people's destinies. Someone just walked in. The Lord showed me something beautiful about the person.

[9:42] Something great is about to happen for the person. But I just. I can tell there's an atmosphere of power here. If you are watching us.

[9:52] Wherever you are. You are taking home your portion. Amen. You are getting your portion. So make sure you are properly connected. And receive your portion.

[10:03] But there's power here. Power here to change somebody's life. Amen. So if there's God. The Bible is true. If the Bible is true.

[10:15] Then if we do what the Bible says we should do. We will get what the Bible promises. We will get when we do what it says we should do. Amen. And one of the things the Bible tells us is.

[10:29] All our equity in God. Starts with one thing. Believe. That's where the battle is.

[10:45] The battle is your belief. Have faith in God. I don't believe. I don't believe. I don't believe. That's where the whole thing is. It's not so much as to what you do. As it is what you believe.

[10:56] Right. The word that was free to us was free to them. But the word did not profit them.

[11:07] Not being mixed with faith. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 2. And so. We can all hear the same thing. But the state of our heart.

[11:18] So long as belief is concerned. Is what determines the profit we get. Somebody is blessed. I believe.

[11:29] The Bible talks about. The Bible says in Habakkuk chapter 4 verse. 2 verse 4. It says that. For the just shall live by faith. So we live by faith.

[11:41] The just shall live by his faith. In Romans chapter 1 verse 17. The just shall live by faith. In Galatians chapter 3 verse 11. The just shall live by faith.

[11:51] In Hebrews chapter 10 verse 38. The just shall live by faith. Four times. The just shall live by faith. The just shall live by faith.

[12:02] We walk by faith. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7. We walk by faith. And not by sight. We walk by faith. And not by sight.

[12:12] We walk by faith and not by sight. 2 Corinthians chapter 4, it says, whilst we look not at the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. So you don't walk by what you see, you walk by what is unseen.

[12:29] 2 Corinthians chapter 4, verse 17 and 18, it says that while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. We look at the things which are not seen.

[12:49] It didn't say we look at the things which we do not see. It didn't say we look at the things that cannot be seen. It said they are not seen.

[13:00] But those are the things we look at. And so sometimes you go to a lab and you are busy working, you put on your, or you look through your microscope and you are looking at something, no one is seen, but you are just looking at it.

[13:15] So what you are looking at, okay, cannot, it's not seen. Sorry, it's not seen. You are looking at what is not seen. I get what I'm saying. You are looking at what is not seen.

[13:27] Others don't see it, but you can see it. And as long as you keep your eyes focusing in that hole or in looking through those microscopes, you can see what is not seen.

[13:43] So he's saying that whilst we look at what is not seen, there must be something we are looking through in order to see what is not seen. As for looking at what is seen, it's natural.

[13:58] Everybody can look at what they see and can get what everyone is getting. But to get what no one is getting, you have to begin to look at what is not seen. Someone is already seeing your husband.

[14:16] Shout amen. Someone is already seeing your children. God told Abraham, come out of the tent, took him outside, said, let me show you.

[14:27] Let me show you. Look at this guy. He said, this, so shall thy seed be. Can you count them? They can't be counted. He said, so shall.

[14:38] And he was talking to a childless man. Not that he hasn't yet tried. He's tried all his life and couldn't have a child. And God said, look, this is the stars.

[14:50] This is how your children, your descendants will be. And Abraham believed. And it was accounted to him for righteousness.

[15:05] Someone shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Because he can't see the faces of his children. He couldn't see. But all God wanted him to know is, they are there.

[15:18] Your descendants, I mean, this is how they are going to be. So he gave him a pictorial example. There is something he had to see. Which other saw, he was looking through the future of his descendants, through what God was showing him.

[15:33] And he believed what God was showing him. And God said, you got it. Some of us have been listening to too many wrong things. And watching too many wrong things.

[15:46] I remember when Pastor O was pregnant with our second child. I was, I really, really, really tried discouraging her from watching.

[15:57] One born every minute. It's a TV program which talks about, which was always showing. It's a documentary, whatever. Shows children being born.

[16:08] How labor, sometimes labor can go wrong. Sometimes it can go smooth. Sometimes it can go very complicated. You don't need to watch that. You have, go and watch Exodus.

[16:20] The Hebrew women, they were just giving birth. Some of you, when you go into your room right now, if you even have a study, by your dining table, there's a doctor's report lying there.

[16:38] That's all you are always watching. Even you have put that doctor's report, the negative report, you put it in your Bible.

[16:50] When you want to read your Bible, after reading your Bible, then you go back to the report. You have to look at the report. Bible says, for God so loved the word that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes.

[17:05] People perish because of unbelief. Not because of what they do, but because, so long as God is concerned, it's not what you do that makes you perish, what you believe.

[17:25] What you believe. What you believe. Bible talks about how, in Acts chapter 5 verse 14, great number of believers.

[17:37] Bible talks about Acts chapter 5 verse 14, it says that, and believers were increasingly added to the Lord. Multitudes of both men and women.

[17:48] So, when you're a believer, it's not gender sensitive. Both men, say believers. Say, I'm a believer. I'm a believer. They were added to the Lord.

[18:00] God only works with believers. Not church members. Believers. Believers.

[18:12] Were added to the Lord. Both men and women. He says that, go into the world and preach the gospel.

[18:24] Mark chapter 16 verse 15. Go into all the world and preach the gospel. Preach the gospel to all nations. To every creature. He who believes and is baptized, will be saved.

[18:37] How do you get saved? Believe. Believe and be baptized. He who believes and is baptized, will be saved. By who does not believe, you know, will be condemned. Wow.

[18:52] So, listen. We were not just called to be saved. We were also called, because I said, watch this. Put that thing on the screen again, I'll show you something. He who believes and is baptized, will be saved.

[19:06] Okay? Let's forget about those who don't believe, they don't matter. You. You. You. He who believes, it's true, they don't matter.

[19:16] Because I will show you. Afterwards, he ignores that, he started talking about believers. He who believes and is baptized, will be saved. So, how do you get saved?

[19:27] Believe and be baptized. So, he will believe and, when you believe, the result of your believing, is being saved. But that's not the end of the story. The next verse, verse 17.

[19:40] And, verse 17 says, and these signs, see, he forgot about those who don't believe. Forget about those who don't believe. Let's talk about the serious people. Those who make things happen in life, are the believers.

[19:54] Someone shout, I'm a believer. I believe you are. Listen, at work, when your company hears some bad news, tell them that there's a believer, a believer here. When you go to the doctors, and the doctor is talking to you, look at his face as a believer.

[20:13] I told you, it's going to be very hot tonight. Look at, when you are driving your car, on the motorway, drive like a believer. I'm telling you, when I go to parents' evening, or I go to my children's school, or when I'm dropping my child, when I'm dropping her at school, I'm picking her up from school, when I step around, I know a believer has come to town.

[20:39] I know a believer is walking. When I drop my child in school, I know the child of a believer is in this school, and there's no terrorist that can come around. Why? Because a child of a believer, is around, sure I'm a believer.

[20:54] I believe you are. Man, when you are a believer, you are not ordinary. When you are a believer, you are operating in the class of God.

[21:06] When you are a believer, the power of God, begins to work in your direction. Amen. Hallelujah. Shout out I'm a believer. I'm a believer. I dare you, to sit in front of the one, who is conducting the interview.

[21:21] I dare you to sit in front of him, as a believer. Okay. Okay. When you are, you are sending an application. Don't send it like everybody. Send it.

[21:32] What they may see is just like everybody, but there is a spirit behind you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out I'm a believer. I'm a believer.

[21:44] You buy clothes from the shop, buy it like a believer. Yeah. You enter into a contract, enter into it like a believer. Yeah. See, when you have that understanding of who you are, you know that you can't enter into a contract with somebody and the company breaks down.

[22:03] Yeah. Or goes bust. Yeah. No. No, no, no. It cannot happen. Why? Because a believer is on board. Yeah. Yeah. You can't sit on a fire and a jet or on a plane and the plane is going to crash.

[22:15] A believer on board, let them blast the plane. It won't happen. Because there's a believer on board. Yeah. It seems to some of you, we don't seem to know who we are. Yeah. Yeah. You got to know who you are in Christ.

[22:27] Who are you? I am a believer. Who are you? I am a believer. I am a believer. I am a believer. I am a believer. Anytime. Anytime you park your car anywhere. No, a believer has parked his car here.

[22:38] Yeah. Yeah. When you go to the hospital, no, a believer has come around. Yeah. Unfortunately, there's too many of us recognize our identity.

[22:53] And we don't know who we are. We think we are like everybody. Sorry, you are not. Because you are saved. Amen. When I am playing with my little girls, they like this.

[23:08] And I play with them. I like playing with them a lot. And I am running after them. I am coming. This is my favorite game. I am going to catch you. I am coming. It doesn't matter how tired they are.

[23:20] As soon as I start, they begin to run around. They love it. Then you know how they run. They begin to run. Then they begin to go to the hospital. Mommy, save me. Mommy, save me. Mommy, save me. Mommy, save me.

[23:32] Save me. Save me from where? No. Save me from the situation that is not pleasant for me. He said, when you believe, you are saved. Oh. When you believe, it says that, it says that, go into the world, preach.

[23:55] We have to give you something to believe before you believe. That's why I said, believing is not just empty. It must be, I'll show you in a minute.

[24:06] So go into the world and preach the gospel so that someone can believe. He said, and those who believe and are baptized, he who believes shall be saved. And then when he told me, forget about those who will not be saved.

[24:16] Then when he told me, he said that, and this signs shall follow those who believe. Once you are saved, signs also begin to follow you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[24:27] Listen, listen, listen, listen. Your family members, your neighbors must notice that there's something different about you. Listen, not because you go to church, it's good.

[24:40] Not because you carry the Bible, it's good to carry the Bible, but much more, there's something about you that it beats their understanding. Right. Because the other time, your neighbor was going to work and suddenly, he was having this serious stomach cramps.

[24:57] And then you came out of the house, you just was moving, I'm just putting something in the bin, and he said, hello. And as soon as you say hello, it's gone. But, you know, they won't credit you for anything.

[25:10] Then later on, his, one of the sons also said, I really was feeling so dizzy, I was feeling that, I don't know, but, the other time too, they saw you, and when they saw you, he said, hey guy, how are you?

[25:22] As soon as you say, how are you? He noticed that, so they begin to see, no, no, there's something about you. The other time, thieves came around the neighborhood, and, they wanted to start from your house.

[25:41] Your door was not locked. They broke others whose door were locked. Your door, your window was open, they forced other people's windows to enter it. Your window was open, and none of them was, and your house is more in the corner, they should have gone there.

[25:56] And your neighbors are wondering, how did they, why didn't they go there? All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I believe so.

[26:08] Your children's teachers must realize something different about your children. Yes. The children, there was kind of some, a bug going around in school, and, all the children were catching it, but the teacher has noticed, on four consecutive occasions, when anything happens to a cross-section of their children, four occasions, your child never guessed it.

[26:38] Amen. They must begin to see something different about you and yours. why?

[26:50] because I'm a believer a believer shouldn't be working in town worried about what is going to eat next working in town they said people are beginning to lose their jobs and the company announces that we are about to lay people off and suddenly you can't sleep because you are so are you not a believer?

[27:10] are you not a believer? because some things are not permitted to come around you no, no, no your child when was that?

[27:23] recently I think something happened I think it has to do with one of the children I think she was saying her tummy daddy my tummy sometimes children may be but then I realized she was saying it too long and suddenly my aunt and I because this is not supposed to be happening because I'm a believer come on pastor as soon as she heard they say oh what's going no, no you must know that no, some things are not permitted to happen I get what I'm saying you just got used to your car your car is not that old your car is a year or two years and three years and you parked your car and suddenly oil is leaking fuel is leaking no, it's not over how can a two year old car feel MOT even though he's not supposed to do MOT so something is not right so if you know who you are you don't accept some things even when you see them you defy and challenge them because this is not supposed to be here you got to look at sickness and tell sickness you are misplaced you are misplaced you cannot be here anytime I feel funny in my body or because Satan will always try he will try he will check and see if he can get access if you don't know yourself hey what happened to my auntie has begun happening to me hey maybe I'm beginning to have some stomach problem

[29:00] I'm beginning to have some cancer I'm beginning to have some see you begin to accept it because you don't know who you are you can I tell you something you will never find Prince Charles or Prince Harry or Prince William or Prince Princess Charlotte or Prince Joe you will never find them in a job center looking for job even there's if there's no job anywhere in the country you you will find in fact his appearance will give others a job why because because of who he is because of who he is you faith brother faith sister you must know who you are who are you at all I'm a believer are you sure you believe it who are you at all I said who are you sure I'm a believer I'm a believer if you are a believer things are not supposed and cannot just happen around you because he said if you are a believer you are blessed blessed is she who believes only when you are a believer all that is permitted to happen around you is manifestation and performance of the things

[30:21] God has said so every now and then when people are saying wow I'm surprised you got a job you are telling them I'll be surprised if I didn't get a job because I work in manifestations manifestations of what God has said so that is why you can't be a believer and not know your facts because if you are a believer you must believe something look at the person sitting here you tell the person I'm a believer I'm a believer people want to know who a believer looks like they should look at you sometimes there can be believers who are misplaced or who you know dual personalities on one hand you are a believer but more of a time you are something else and so people should look at you to see an example of a believer first Timothy chapter 4 verse 12 it tells you the characteristics of believers what you can use to identify believers it says do not only learn what you despise but you are an example of the believers so what is a believer

[31:36] I want someone to see what they should look at you and tell and you are aware the way you talk you can tell who a believer is the way you behave the way you laugh the way you you operate in the spirit and the way you walk in faith and purity it's a reflection of how much of a believer you are hallelujah but all I want to point your attention to is example of a believer example of a believer I am a believer I believe I believe I believe I believe I am a believer even Shrek believes that he is a believer say I am a believer I am a believer you must know that please know that know that because these things we are we are not following carefully devised fables we are following the word of the living God and it works it works listen to this in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 19 it says that

[32:40] I am praying that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened that you will know first of all the hope of your calling then second you may know the riches of your glories of his heritage among the saints and then verse 19 of Ephesians chapter 1 what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe Paul said I am praying that you will know the power exceeding greatness of the power that is towards us who believe those of us who believe God's power is so great towards us shout out I am a believer I am a believer and then he said maybe you don't have let me give you an idea a glimpse of that kind of power I am talking about he said verse 20 says that this is the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead which worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him on his right hand in the heavenly places far far this power is powerful he said this power took him far above principalities and powers and might and dominion about every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is power and he says that hey listen he said that this is the kind of power that is working towards you who believe so what is it that it cannot lift you above what is it that it cannot raise you above above every power every might dominion control authorities he says that the power so the problem is not the lack of power

[34:07] God's power the problem is the lack of our belief in the book of John chapter 11 verse 40 Jesus said didn't I tell you you will see the glory of God if you believe he told Martha and her sister Mary when they got to the tomb Jesus said roll away the tomb they said by this time it stinks it's dead for four days verse 39 he said behold it stinks and he said roll didn't I tell you that if you believe you will see the power of God John chapter 11 verse 40 he said I told you that if you believe all it takes to see God's glory in manifestation is someone believe he said I am a believer so what it means that if you are a believer the glory of God begins to manifest in your life people will see it I said people will see it they will see it in your eye one of your relatives or your relatives your sisters your aunties your friend somebody's friend who works in the bank where you save and they will suddenly chance upon your bank account and they will be shocked because they will say what what is going on here why because

[35:19] I am a believer one thing about one of the interesting things about believers is that today a believer everything may look funny but within a shorter everything can change easily hey shout I am a believer shout I am a believer that means that your condition is never final they can knock you down but they can never knock you out hey shout I am a believer I am a believer they may get an opportunity to start laughing mocking it will finish then suddenly everything changes before their eyes because because when you are dealing with a believer a believer's story is different I believe hey listen the path to our success of the path of the track that our the train of our success story runs on is different from the other tracks

[36:23] I am here to see a train doing a U10 within 100 meters radius the trains actually don't do U10 they go and then they go they go so they they usually have two heads or sometimes one head will be driving the other one but your success story runs on a track that you can do U10 anytime shout I am a believer listen someone here can buy a house within a week within a month that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about that's what you can buy a house within a month that's what I'm talking about because you are a believer your story is different shout I am a believer shout I am a believer

[37:26] I am a believer Joseph was put in prison. He was in prison. It took only one day he woke up a prime minister.

[37:39] Why? Because he was a believer. Never feel sorry for a believer. Because if he stumbles and if he goes down, as long as he remains a believer.

[37:55] No, no, no. No, no, no. Don't feel sorry for a believer who has stumbles. Don't feel sorry for him. As long as he believes he's going to rise high up.

[38:09] Shout I am a believer. I am a believer. And don't feel sorry for yourself.

[38:26] Why is everything happening like this? As for me alone, I'm not married. Why don't you begin to talk like that? You move yourself from coverage area.

[38:39] Why don't you begin to behave like that? You move yourself from coverage area. He says that I'm praying that you will know the power that is working towards you. Hey, in Romans chapter 1 verse 16.

[38:49] He said I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For why? It is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes. Your believing is what releases the power.

[39:05] Everyone. The gospel is the power of God to everyone who believes. Everyone.

[39:17] Everyone. So, two blind men came to Jesus. They were making noise, following Jesus. He entered the house in Matthew chapter 9 verse 28.

[39:28] He entered the house. They came to him. And he asked them. Do you believe that I'm able to make you whole? Jesus said to them. Do you believe that I'm able to do this?

[39:40] They said yes. Jesus said then there's no problem. Because once you are a believer, you define your take on pay. Once you are a believer, you define your success story. You define the limits of your success.

[39:52] You define the limits of your enjoyment in life. Because once you are a believer, even God gives you the liberty to operate. If you believe, you have the freedom to operate.

[40:03] In Matthew, pastor, bishop, in Matthew chapter 8 verse 7 downwards, a certain man came to Jesus. He was a centurion. And he came to Jesus.

[40:16] He said from verse 5 from 6 there. He says that my son is sick at the point of death. And Jesus said, listen to. Jairus came and told Jesus in Mark chapter 5 verse 23, 24 somewhere.

[40:29] He came, Jairus came and told Jesus. My son is lying at the point of death. Come home. Come home. Jairus. He said at the point of death, come and lay your hands.

[40:42] But this other man, this other man, he didn't tell Jesus to come home. In Matthew chapter 8, Jesus said, I will come. Jesus said, I will come and heal him.

[40:54] Do you know what he said? Matthew 8, I like it. He said, no, I'm not worthy that you should come to my house. Only speak the word. I am in need, but I want to show you how I want to receive my miracle.

[41:06] He said, for I am a man under authority. I said to one person, move and move. I said to the other, set here and set here. And I said, don't go. And so I understand that if you speak just the word, it will get it done.

[41:19] Don't come. Don't waste your fuel. Don't waste your transportation. Save the fuel for something else. Don't come home. Only speak. Only speak. But you know what?

[41:30] What moves me is that Jesus told him something amazing. In the verse 13, Jesus said, go your way. Jesus said to the centurion, go your way.

[41:42] And as you have believed, as you have believed, so let it be. Watch this. So your belief is what defines what can be done for you. He said, ask the way you have believed, the same way it should be done for you.

[41:57] It's not me. Me, my original plan was to come home. But you said no. So I can't say it because I can see faith at work. I can see believer. See, when you are a believer, you control the situations around your life.

[42:13] When you are a believer. So when he said that, Jesus said, don't come. Jesus said, okay. What do you want me to do? He said, no, just speak. Speak. Then he gave Jesus reasons why he believed that. Your belief must be reasonable.

[42:27] He gave him reasons why he believed that. Jesus said, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look here. Look here. This is serious. This is serious, man. Hey, look at the man. He said, go your way. As you have believed. So let it be. And do you know he got a result?

[42:38] Look at it. He says that. And his servant was healed that same hour. He was healed that same hour. When the man believed and Jesus said, that's it.

[42:50] What do you believe? I stand here as God's servant and I'm telling you, that's it. Somebody missed a miracle just now.

[43:01] Somebody missed a miracle just now. Somebody missed a breakthrough right now. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. What do you believe? That's it. Take it.

[43:12] That's serious. That's serious. That's serious. Somebody is buying your house. Somebody is marrying, getting married. Somebody is having your children. Somebody is starting your business.

[43:23] Somebody is getting a new job. Somebody is winning some souls. Somebody is starting a church. Somebody is booming, making it. Ah, I see it. It's in your heart. I see it.

[43:34] I should believe it. Let it be for you. Let it be unto you. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.

[43:45] Say, I am a believer. I am a believer. Sit down. Those of you in school, stop failing.

[43:58] Every test book you buy, write, I am a believer. I am a believer. Write, I am a believer. And sit down, read the book, and let's see what will give you mental block.

[44:12] Let's see. What can be able to penetrate through the garrisons of your belief to interfere with the progress of your life. You don't know who you are.

[44:25] That's why Satan is loving it. He's loving it. Even when God told Jesus, you are the son. This is my only begotten son. In whom I am well pleased.

[44:36] Satan, the next thing, Satan comes to him to check if this guy really believes it. He said, if you are on the side of God. When you don't know who you are, if you don't know who you are, Satan will have a field trip.

[44:49] Satan will be playing around your life. And he will illegally inflict, afflicting, and inflicting things on you. Because you will just accept it. Because you may think, well.

[45:01] What's well? What's well? What's well? What's well? What's well? How dare a doctor look at you and tell you you've got cancer? That doctor is not yet born. I said, that doctor is not yet born.

[45:17] So I am a believer. I am a believer. I am a believer. How dare a landlord tell you to leave this property. I don't care what you, the devil is a liar.

[45:28] He will leave his house before you leave his house. When people are dealing with you, first of all, just establish the fact that you are a believer.

[45:39] And then they will see what believers are like. Because you may not fight them in the way everybody will fight.

[45:51] They will be very difficult if they can have sleep. They can be swallowing all the medication in the sleeping tablet. They will be swallowing it all and still their eyes say, I can't sleep.

[46:04] They will sleep. You can't tell someone. Now, if, you see, if someone doesn't like you, they don't have control over their dreams, do they?

[46:18] They will have a dream and they will see you standing in front of them. That's right. They say, listen, be careful how you are dealing with me.

[46:32] Can they report you to their police? I'm telling you. They are driving in the night.

[46:44] And then they see a figure. Is that why you come? No, it's not him. No, no, people must be careful when they are dealing. The problem, the reason why they don't care is because the believers actually don't even know who they are.

[46:59] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Right. And then they look at you. And they tell you that I'm sorry.

[47:11] We can't help you. You know who you are talking to. You can't. They think I need your help. You have to do what you have to do. Come on. Do it now. Stop telling you you can't help me.

[47:24] Hey, why do you think I'm a believer? Come on, do it now. Now. It's like that footballer who bought the island for his agent.

[47:43] Ronaldo. Ronaldo. One of the young girls on British Street. Ronaldo says, so would you marry me? And Ronaldo is not a runner. Let's say he's just a decent man with everything, everything.

[47:57] So will you marry me? It will be hard for you to look at his agent and say no. Brother, if you are not finding a woman to marry, I think you have lost your identity as a believer.

[48:09] Brother. See the way the sisters are clapping? They know it. People won't like you.

[48:23] They will come and say, there's a job offer, contract. I don't like you, but you have to take it. Take it. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. Take it. Take it. Sorry, I'm a believer. You know your boss doesn't like you.

[48:39] He doesn't like you. He doesn't like the sight of you. He doesn't like you. But when the promotion came, he said, no, you are the only one who should go. I don't like you, but you have to take it. I don't know why I'm giving it to you.

[48:51] You have to take it. Take it. Take it. I'm very angry. Take it. Take it. Take it. I recommend you everything you want. I'll give it to you. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. I'm a believer. I'm a believer.

[49:04] I'm a believer. When believers start the journey, it looks like their car can't take them any further.

[49:17] But by the time the journey is ending, they are far ahead. That's it. I'm a believer. All he requires.

[49:29] Fear not. Only believe. Because if you're a believer, you can't be at the mercy of the weather. Amen. It may look funny.

[49:46] People think that, ah, you see? We are laughing. You see? We are laughing. Ah! Eh? Eh? Wow. Eh? Now, hello.

[49:58] Hello. Then they fear you. That's what they told Abraham. Abraham, leave us and go. Leave us. Wow. You are more than us. You are strange. Leave us. Go.

[50:09] They gave him everything. They gave him cattle. They gave him wealth and deported him. Yeah. They deported him from Egypt. Do you know why?

[50:19] Because God didn't want him to go to Egypt. Right. He was supposed to be in Hebron. But he found himself in Egypt. So he, according to God's programming, God loved him too much to leave him in Egypt.

[50:30] He had to be deported. But the Egyptians had an encounter of their lives with the believers. Bible says, and he believed. It was accounted to him for righteousness.

[50:41] Abraham. Hmm. Is someone getting something? Yes. Listen, when you wake up in the morning, you feel pain in your legs. Shake it off. I'm a believer.

[50:51] Even if it's not going on. I'm a believer. Keep going. I'm a believer. Suddenly you realize that as you go about life, later on you remember, ah, four days ago I was feeling it.

[51:02] I've been forgotten. It's left unceremoniously. It just sneaked away because you didn't have time for it. You're a believer.

[51:13] Yeah. I believe. Some of you, just some of you are too much a disturbance to. I feel sorry. You feel too sorry.

[51:24] You feel too worried. You feel too worried. I thought this is how everything is going to be like. Have you forgotten a while ago? Years when you thought our home was gone.

[51:37] And you prayed one prayer. And today look at you. And another thing has come. This one is too real. This one. I'm depressed. Shut up.

[51:48] How can a believer be depressed? I'm depressed now. No, this is too much. Oh, no. Wake up. Share yourself up.

[51:59] As long as you keep believing, you are saved. You are saved. Shut up, I am a believer. There are too many things I can show you.

[52:14] He said, if you can believe, all things are possible to him. In Mark chapter 9, verse 23. The man said to Jesus, this thing has been troubling my son.

[52:26] Mark 9, 22. He said, this thing has been troubling us. And sometimes throws him into fire, trying to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.

[52:37] And he said, if I can? No. If you can believe. All things are possible to him who believes. Don't talk about me and my can. You, you. Your believing is what defines your future.

[52:48] He said, if you can believe all things, then the man said, okay. Lord, I believe. But that, when he said it, he didn't think about it. Lord, I believe. Then he realized the opposition. He said, oh boy, I think you need to help my unbelief now.

[53:00] Because if what it takes is to believe, then I need you to help my unbelief. Because even though I'm trying to believe the opposition. Five or four.

[53:12] Five characteristics of true belief. Number one. True belief is factual. Factual.

[53:23] It has basis. It's on the basis. You are believing based on something you have heard. In Romans chapter 10 verse 14. He said, how shall they call on him on whom they have not believed?

[53:39] All right. Now, for the belief, for your belief to be a true, genuine belief that works. It says that, how shall they believe in whom they have not heard? You need to hear something.

[53:51] You need to hear some facts. Are you getting what I'm saying? You need to hear some facts. Be careful what you are listening to. Oh, I was listening to Bishop Abiria and he said something.

[54:03] It was a blessing. I love it so much. I couldn't wait. Today being faith, I said, I need to say that. It's so nice. Abiria said something. And it's biblical. So how does faith come? Amen.

[54:15] Faith comes by hearing. But faith works by speaking. Oh, I love that one. It was too good for me.

[54:26] Too good for me. I wish I was behind Twitter. I would tweet it. And I'll put my name there. I'm just kidding. Faith comes by hearing.

[54:37] But faith works by speaking. But let me go. The hearing. You need to hear. You need to hear. In the book of Mark chapter 5 verse 26.

[54:50] Bible talks about this woman who heard about Jesus. And she has suffered many things. When she heard. Verse 27.

[55:01] When she heard about Jesus. She came behind him in the crowd and touched his gun. How did he know? She heard about Jesus. That's why she was able to believe in Jesus.

[55:12] Because she heard about Jesus. He says. He says. As a blind man. Do you believe that I am able to do this? Matthew chapter 9 verse 28.

[55:24] Do you believe this? Your faith must have facts. In theological terms. It is called notitia. Notai. The notai.

[55:35] The data of your faith. The data. The content of your belief. What you believe. Is called notai. Or notitia. And then when you lend your ascent to it. It's called ascensos.

[55:47] And then when you. When you commit yourself to it. It's called fordukia. Notitia. Ascensos. And then fordukia. You can.

[55:57] There's no way you can have fordukia. Without ascensos. There's no way you can have ascensos. Without notitia. Because what are you assenting to? What are you saying? Okay. Okay.

[56:08] Two. If there's something you had. In order for you to say. Okay. I agree. So you can't say that. Oh we are just. We just believe. Because we don't think. No. No. No. No. No. What do you believe?

[56:18] You have to think about what you are believing. It's a fact. And listen. The Bible is a fact. The Bible works. Miracles come every day. For those who believe in God's word. Shout. I believe. I believe.

[56:30] So it's not believing anything. Believing that we are apes. Believing that we emerge from the slimes. Believing that. No. No. No. No. No. It's not believing everything. It's not believing that the son is a God.

[56:41] Not believing that if you face the east. Or worse than you pray. Your prayers go faster. All those kind of crap. It's not believing or anything. It's just believing that Jesus is the son of the living God.

[56:56] Shout. I believe. I believe. So you may not have all the theology. But if you have the chief of theology. The cardinal of theology is Jesus. If you believe in Jesus.

[57:06] He is the answer to all theology. Because all theology is just an explanation. Trying to explain Jesus. So if you have Jesus. You don't need any. If you have Jesus in your heart.

[57:18] And you believe in him. That's enough. Yeah. To work the miracles for you. He said in the book of. First Corinthians. Chapter 1. Verse 24.

[57:29] It talks about how. For. The preaching of the cross. Is that. To those who. Are called. Both the Jews. Are called. Christ is the power of God. Verse 25. Verse 25.

[57:39] Because. Because the foolishness of God. Is wise. It talks about. The preaching of the cross. Is from verse 18. All down. It talks about. The preaching of the cross. Is foolishness to. Those who are perishing. But.

[57:51] To those of us. Who believe. Who are saved. It is the power of God. He said. I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it's the power of God. You. Listen to me. Brothers and sisters. Listen to this.

[58:01] Please. You have to hear this. You cannot see God's power. Without believing. You cannot see God. God's power. Without believing. Disciples came to Jesus Christ.

[58:14] This very interesting text. They asked him. Sir. They asked Jesus. What must we do. To do the works of God. He said. Stop thinking of doing. Believe. Right. John chapter 6. Verse 28.

[58:24] He said. What must we do. To do the works of God. He said. The works of. Jesus said. The works of God. Is that you believe. This is the work of God. That you believe in. Whom who are himself. So. You believe in.

[58:35] Him. Whom he has sent. Who he sent. So. Your belief. Belief is factual. True belief is factual.

[58:45] Let's all say that together. True belief. He said it again. True belief is factual. Jesus. This is good. In Romans chapter 10 verse 9.

[58:58] Let's just look at that quickly. In Romans chapter 10 verse 9. Bible says that. All right. When you read from this. Verse 8. Okay. I like that text. So lately. I've come to like that text so much.

[59:09] Because. I didn't know it was so looted. When you read from verse 8. It says that. Um. But what does it say? The word is near you. Where? In your mouth.

[59:19] And in your heart. That is the word of faith. Which we preach. See. Which we preach. Someone must speak about it. Okay. Which we preach. That. That if you confess with your mouth.

[59:30] The Lord Jesus. And believe in your heart. Please. Don't forget the that. That. The belief. Every believing must have a that. True belief must have a that.

[59:43] What do you believe? I believe that. I believe that. Christ has fixed my marriage. I believe that. I am healed. I believe that. That every belief must have a that.

[59:55] It is the that of the belief. Which you get. So. That you believe that. God has done this.

[60:05] That. So belief must have facts. In John chapter. Jesus. Thank you. Holy Spirit. John chapter 4. Verse 50. When the man came to Jesus. And he said. Can you come home?

[60:15] Because my. My son is lying at the point of death. Jesus said. That go your way. Your son liveth. And the Bible says that. Jesus said. Go. Go. Jesus said.

[60:25] Go your. Jesus said. Go your way. Your son liveth. So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke. And he went his way. What did he believe? What did he believe? What did he believe? What did he believe?

[60:36] What did he believe? What did he believe? Do you understand that? He believed the word that Jesus spoke. You must hear something. Something must be told you. You must get some words. You must get some facts. So the man believed that.

[60:47] And it's just what he believed. What he believed was exactly what he got. Facts from God's way. The last time you were depressed.

[61:01] Will be the last ever time you were depressed. Some diagnoses are changing from tonight. Some medical conditions.

[61:14] I'm telling you. Some medical conditions are changing from tonight. They are changing from tonight. They are changing from tonight. Someone is about to receive a different letter. From the same people.

[61:24] A different letter with the better news. Different letter with the good news. Different diagnosis in the name of Jesus. The same condition. Your story is changing. Shall Lord have believed?

[61:36] Shall Lord have believed? Lord have believed. It's a new day.

[61:48] Your story is changing. Your story is changing. Didn't I tell you that if you believe. You will see. You will see. You will see. The glory of God.

[62:02] He's dead. He's dead for days. He's dead. He's thinking. Hey, shut up. Didn't I tell you if you believe. You will see the glory of God. Because all things.

[62:13] Are possible. To him who believes. So when they told him. Your son is dead. Leave the message. He says. Fear not. Only believe. When you believe. You move yourself. To that. Some of us are too worried.

[62:27] Too worried about the outcome of your children's future. Too worried about the outcome of your business. Outcome of your health. You think your health. Things are getting out of hand. Who told you things are getting out of hand? Who told you? Who told you?

[62:38] Which facts are you reading? What facts? I had Bishabir. He said something. It was a blessing again. I'm not just. I've just been listening. And he said something. It was a blessing. I love it.

[62:49] He said. When the doctor say something to you. There are also other doctors who can say another thing to you. That's it. It's true. How many of you have been to one doctor?

[63:00] And the doctor said that I know something. And then another doctor said it. So no. It's not. It's not so. All the time. It happens in hospitals.

[63:11] All the time. And I'm also telling you. What. Chief doctor is saying. Listen. When the doctors tell you something.

[63:26] How many of you know that. What the doctor is telling you is based on books. Facts from a certain book. It's facts from a textbook.

[63:37] Which will be reviewed. And updated later. And I'm telling you. That Jesus is also telling you. Your health is covered.

[63:48] And I'm telling you from the first. From a book. And you will not believe. Say Lord. Say Lord. Say Lord. Say Lord. Give the Lord a clap and a shout.

[64:04] Who are you? I am a believer.

[64:15] Who are you? I am a believer. Who are you? I am a believer. Next time when they see you. They will feel ashamed to feel sorry for you.

[64:28] Because they can't feel sorry for you. I'm a believer. Remember. When Jesus was being beaten. People were crying for you. Say. Please. Cry for yourself.

[64:40] Don't feel sorry for me. Cry for yourself and your children. Hallelujah. Quickly. Let me just work this.

[64:51] Caratheicists of true belief. Number one is what? Factual. All I've been waiting for is to get to number two. Number two.

[65:01] Number two. True belief speaks. True belief speaks. Faith comes by hearing.

[65:12] But faith works by speaking. Amen. Faith comes by hearing. Faith works by speaking. In Mark chapter 5.

[65:24] Verse 28. This woman heard about Jesus in verse 27. And she came in behind the press. And pressed behind the crowd to touch him.

[65:34] And the verse 28 is what I like. Verse 28 says. For she said. Did you see that? Someone said she said. Say she said. The reason why she had her miracle is because she said.

[65:47] No one was telling her. But she said to herself. She kept saying. One translation is that she kept saying. The same. You see you have to learn how to say. Someone said I am blessed.

[65:59] So I am a believer. And that is why I am blessed. Sunday you hear her sister's testimony.

[66:11] One of the most powerful testimonies of her. Today. She said. She went for a scan. And when she went for a scan. The scan. And they said. The doctor printed something.

[66:22] Said this. This huge. Big fibroid. It was like a big. Like big. And so she was very worried. Because her sister.

[66:33] Had the baby. No long ago. And her sister had fibroid. And the. Delivery was so. Complicated. She almost lost her life. At the baby.

[66:44] She. Was saved. By the. By her spread. So. When the doctor showed her. The fibroid. Show her. She was so. Disturbed. No. Then the devil reminded her.

[66:56] Is she your sister? That's where you are also going. And she started talking. She said. She started saying. She said. She said. That no. No. Listen. Listen. She said.

[67:06] What did you say? I am. You are a daughter of caries. I cannot. I cannot have this fibroid. She was saying it.

[67:17] She was saying it. She was saying it. She said it. She was saying it. And said. And then what happened? They did another scan. Don't be quiet. You have to speak loud. If you can speak well.

[67:27] Speak in tongues. You have to say something. You have to say something. Say it. Say it. But then. To cut long story short.

[67:38] Few hours or a million. She started confessing. I am a daughter of caries. This cannot happen to me. Her husband back it with tongues.

[67:49] And then she said. Can you check again? Can you say it's check again? She checked it again. He said. I can't find it again. It has left. It is done. Shout hallelujah.

[68:01] Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. True faith.

[68:17] Speaks. True faith. In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13. He says we have the spirit of faith. Yes. So since we have the spirit.

[68:29] The same spirit of faith. According to what is written. I believe. Therefore. I spoke. I believe. Therefore. I spoke. We also believe.

[68:41] And therefore. We. Yes. Stop repeating. What they are telling you. You are wasting your energy.

[68:52] Yes. Stop repeating constantly. What you are feeling. Say what you believe. God has said. Jesus was walking in town.

[69:08] Man. Jesus was hungry. It's interesting. Sometimes. When you read the Bible. You have to look at it very well. I thought it was only when he fasted. That he was so hungry.

[69:18] But I realized. There was time. Once upon a time. He was hungry. In the book of. Mark. Chapter 11. He was. Yeah. You know it. He got it. He was hungry.

[69:29] And he. He was walking in time. We saw a fig tree. And he got. Went to the fig tree. And I think. The verse. Somewhere. Verse 8 to verse 12. Somewhere. Yeah. 13.

[69:40] He saw the fig tree afar. And he went. And perhaps. That he would find something to eat. And he found nothing. For it was the season. It was the season of fig tree. And he didn't find anything. He says. A hair.

[69:50] This is not acceptable. What did he do? Verse 14. And he wanted to just. Let no one eat fruit from you. From you. Ever again. And the disciples.

[70:01] He said it. He said it. Disciples heard it. Verse 20. Verse 20. They came back. The next morning. The next morning. Now in the morning.

[70:11] As they pass by. They saw the fig tree. They saw the fig tree. Dried down from the roots. He spoke the thing. Within 24.

[70:23] 24 hours is too long. For your next birthday. He spoke the thing. I would say.

[70:34] The next morning. When they got there. They saw the tree. Has dried to the root. No doubt in his heart. But. Believes. That whatsoever he says. He shall come to pass.

[70:45] He shall have whatsoever. He says. Should I believe? I believe. I'm a believer. I'm a believer.

[70:58] He said. I'm telling you the truth. Assuredly I said. Very less saying to you. Assuredly. This is solid. Assuredly I'm saying. This is how it works. He designed the whole system.

[71:09] This is design. The other time. I was explaining it here. Shilohawa. How. Sometimes. You may have an app. On your phone. Your either. Your iPhone. Or iPad.

[71:20] Or your tablet. Or something. You may have an app. And you downloaded an app. And suddenly. The app is messing up. And it's not doing things well. And it's actually. Making your.

[71:31] Your. Slowing down your phone. And trying to. Do you know what. Maybe the one who designed the app. Has done it in such a way. Now it's difficult for you to delete it. But you know. The one who designed the operating system.

[71:44] Can override. What's the one who designed the app. Some of us. We are living in a system. Which men have designed something. To control your life. If you can believe in God.

[71:55] God who designed the entire system. Can. Oh man. Oh man. God can overrule and override. Override every negative system.

[72:06] That is going on in your life. Somebody's blessed. God. He can override it. So. He said. Let me show you. Listen.

[72:17] Listen. Please. Can I go. Can I spend more of my time. He said. He said. He said. Listen. This is how. This is how it works. This is how. When I designed the entire global system.

[72:28] The world system. The cosmos. When I designed it. I also made sure. That there is this. Troubleshooting aspect of it. And that troubleshooting.

[72:39] Everything. The way this thing. That's how. The way this entire operating system. Operating system works. Called the world. The earth. The way it works. Is by words.

[72:52] And so he said. Listen. Listen. I surely. I say to you. If you. Whoever. You don't have to be a pastor. Whoever. Whoever. I surely.

[73:02] I say unto you. Whoever. Says. To this. Mountain. Be removed. And cast. Give it as niche.

[73:13] Into the sea. Listen. The most important thing. And does not doubt. In his heart. But be. But be. But believe. Believe. That those things.

[73:24] Which he is saying. Don't just utter. Believe what you are saying. Believe it. As you are saying. You are having it. You are having it. As you are saying. He said.

[73:34] But believe that. Those things that he says. Shall come to pass. He said. He will have. Pots. Because. What's this? Because. The entire system.

[73:46] Bible says. The Bible says. In Hebrews chapter. 11 verse 3. By faith. We understand. The ways. Were framed. By the word of God. So that things.

[73:56] That are seen. Were not made of things. That are visible. And so. If you want to create. Again. He says. That all you have to do. Is get a link. To my word. And begin to say it.

[74:07] And as you say it. You shall have. Whatsoever you see. God wanted to see. Something good. Bible says. That God wanted to see. Something good. Because in Genesis chapter 1. Verse 2.

[74:17] Bible says. The earth was without form. And void. God said. No. There is not what I want to see. But when you go down. Chapter 1. To verse 31. Bible says. That and God saw. And God saw. So. Genesis 1.

[74:28] 31. Says that. And God saw. That all he had. God saw everything. He had made. And it was very good. But verse 2 said. The earth was without form.

[74:38] And void. How did he change the condition? In Genesis verse 3. The Bible says. And God said. And God said. And God said. And God said. And God said.

[74:50] And God said. And God said. And God said. And God said. And God said. May I submit to you.

[75:00] My brothers and sisters. And everyone watching us. All over the world. That this world. Is word operated. God said. If you tell me. You have bought a house.

[75:12] All I need to see. If I have a house. And I'm selling it to you. It's not the money. You are giving me. That matters. It's the words.

[75:23] That I've signed. Doc. Documents. That bucket. If someone. Has the document.

[75:33] And you are living in the house. The one with the document. Can throw you out of the house. I give up. When there is a dispute. Between a landlord. And a tenant.

[75:45] They look at the deed. It's called title deed. It's words. Words. And then you append. Your signature. So. In the realm of the spirit.

[75:55] You speak. And then append. Your signature. From your heart. I believe these things. I'm saying. It's so. And it's so. But you are going around. Saying what the doctors.

[76:05] Are saying. Saying what. Your enemies are saying. Saying what your. Your employers. Are saying. Which is not nice. You keep repeating. What the.

[76:16] The negative forecast. Of statisticians. And economists. You keep repeating that. He said. Listen. Listen. He said. He shall have whatsoever. He says. You are responsible.

[76:27] For what is happening. In your life. He said. The Bible. Mark chapter 11. 23. The last part. He said. He shall have whatsoever. He says. Jesus said.

[76:38] I'm surely. I'm telling you. When you look at. You don't have to look too far. To see why somebody's life. The way it is. Look at what they are saying. Because. He says. In Romans chapter 10. Verse 8.

[76:49] He said. No. Don't go too far. For the word is near you. It is in your mouth. Romans 10. 8. The word. The word. The word you are enjoying. The light. The nature of your life. The condition of your life.

[76:59] It's not too far. The word is near you. It's near the word. It's in your mouth. The word of faith. Which we preach. You have to say. And that's when he says. That if you can say with your mouth.

[77:09] And believe in your heart. You'll be saved. Is someone getting it? Am I talking to a believer in the heart?

[77:20] Am I talking to a believer in the heart?

[77:36] I've said too many times I don't have money. Are you surprised why your account is not responding positively? You've said it too many times. You've said it too many times. Oh, I don't think I can afford this school.

[77:49] I don't think I can afford this thing. It's too much. I don't have money. I'm so broke, you know. And as soon as you say those things, broke has come to stay. It's serious.

[78:06] It is. Life and death lies in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18, 21. Life and death lies in the power of the tongue. The way God made is by speaking.

[78:19] And he created us in his image. He said this entire system I've created responds and reacts to words. But people don't know. They don't know. Listen, the spoken word is more powerful than the written word.

[78:33] Most of the time when you are signing a contract, it's just the contract is based on the agreement. And most of the agreement is negotiation. Spoken word. Now let's convert it into writing and then sign it.

[78:45] The spoken word is more powerful than the written word. Don't be quiet. The woman said to herself, if I can touch his garment. She said, if I touch, I'll be whole.

[78:59] You are not saying anything. And he said, yet you say you're a believer. Believers speak. When he said that be an example of the believers in 1 Timothy 4, verse 12.

[79:12] When he said be an example of the, the first thing he said, he said in word. Some translation says speech. But see, a believer in word. That's where it starts. Hey, may you never ever be found, be heard the court saying things are not working.

[79:30] it is working. It is working for me. It is working for me. It is working for me. It is working for me.

[79:42] It is working for me. Never, never say I don't think I'll be married. Some people were supposed to have been married last three years ago.

[79:57] But because of their own ways, it has shifted the marriage. But listen, it's easy. You can change it. Change the story.

[80:08] Bring your marriage back. Bring your peace back. Bring your prosperity back. How do you do it? By speaking. Speak the word.

[80:20] Speak the word. Speak the word. Speak the word. But that man understood something so much. In Matthew 8, verse 8, he told Jesus, you don't come to my house. Only speak the word.

[80:31] Because I know this entire global system, it's word compliant. Your health is word compliant.

[80:42] I'm telling you. How do you even conclude that you are that? They tell you on the paper with words. So you should get the word God is saying and begin to confess it. Because it's more powerful than what is written.

[80:55] The entire system is well compliant. Sometimes. Okay. Quickly, let me tell you the last one. There are more bad times. Are you ready for this? So true belief.

[81:06] True belief. What are the characteristics of true belief? Number one is what? Factual. Factual. Number two is what? Speak. It speaks. Number three. You want to know this?

[81:18] It defies opposition. It defies. It is stubborn. It doesn't respect opposition. It can look opposition in the eyes and say, where I grew up.

[81:31] When an adult is talking to you and look at the face and kiss your teeth, you are in trouble. It is one of the highest form of rudeness. Look at it. Cheer.

[81:45] Who said cheer? Hey! Who said cheer? Who said cheer? Who said cheer? Who said cheer? It's out there. It's gone.

[81:57] It's gone. True belief looks at the report, the medical report and says, cheer. Hallelujah! Shout hallelujah!

[82:12] It looks at the condition and says, cheer. Can't be bothered. Can't be bothered. Can't be bothered. It defies the odds.

[82:23] In the book of Mark chapter 11, verse 23, that text is loaded. Mark chapter 11, verse 23. Jesus said, assuredly I say unto you, whosoever, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea.

[82:43] What's the next word? End of time. What's the next word? End of time. What's the next word? End of time. Now, I want to teach you a little bit of grammar.

[82:58] End, usually, is a natural progression. It has rained so much and the whole street is wet. It's natural.

[83:11] But if you say, it has rained so much, but nothing is wet. That means it's contrary. But end, it's a natural progression. So, he says that.

[83:23] Look at the text again. Very interesting. It says, whosoever, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and cut into the sea. And so, the natural progression is that you will doubt.

[83:33] Because you are saying, I'm not sick, but your body is telling you, boy, boy, boy, boy. Stop this. This is not what Pastor David was talking about.

[83:45] Are you taking it very serious? Oh, don't take it serious. Aha. Your body will tell you, don't take it serious. Suddenly. Usually, maybe when you have, you catch cold, you cough a bit.

[83:57] But this time, you coughed one, two, and then you say, oh, I'm healed. You decide to now start walking. Suddenly, you are dizzy. You are actually throwing up.

[84:07] Ah! Oh! You see, now the condition has even gotten worse. The situation we're looking at you said, you. You have to be able to look at the situation and say, in spite.

[84:22] Yeah! He says that, he who says to this mountain. And then, so, so defy the situation and keep saying what God has said.

[84:35] Speak God's word in spite of how you feel. Speak God's word in spite of what you see. Speak God's word in spite of the conditions that are prevailing around you. Speak God's word.

[84:47] Just keep speaking. Just keep speaking. Defy it. So, he says that, he whoosoever says to this mountain, we move into the sea. And does not doubt.

[84:58] But! No. But beliefs. See, now normally, it's hard. Because you look at the situation, it's hard to say, hmm, it's true. Rather, it's easier to say that it's not true.

[85:10] What I'm saying cannot happen. So, when you are saying that I'm going to be a millionaire by next year. Amen! Listen. Listen. Listen.

[85:21] Your, your, your employment status will tell you. Your, your bank account will tell you. Look at the way you've been struggling for the past 10 years. You can't even pay phone bills.

[85:33] In 10 years you can't pay. You are telling me. You, so, it will be telling you something. Okay. It will be telling you something. And if you don't take care, you will actually believe that. Yes. Yes. So, if you, you have to keep saying it.

[85:46] And don't doubt what you are saying. Because the thing will make you doubt. Right. Conditions will make, try to challenge you to doubt what you are saying. So, say it and don't doubt.

[85:56] But, but instead of that, believe. Because believing is not natural. Hmm. In that circumstance. Right. It's not natural. It's not, it's not natural for an old man.

[86:09] 90 years old. 99 years old. Almost 100 years old to believe that he's going to have a child. So, in, in Romans chapter 4, verse 18, Bible says that who contrary to hope, believed in hope.

[86:22] Yeah. You see that? Contrary to hope. Now, contrary to hope, believed. So, he defied every negative circumstance, hopelessness. He defied the extremity of the hopelessness.

[86:35] He defied it and chose to believe anyway. That's what he did. So, true belief defies opposition. True belief would defy opposition.

[86:49] I dare you to challenge the situation. I dare you to choose not to care. He say, you will die.

[87:00] I won't die. I heard one man of God say this, which is a blessing. He said, when David said, I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord.

[87:12] If he hadn't said that, that guy would have died. Yeah. It's important, though. It's important. This is not some ideology.

[87:23] This is the way the system works. Telling you it works better than any other application they have created to try and work on certain aspects of the system.

[87:33] I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord. Doctors give you days to live. You tell them, I will see you. I will invite you to the next 20 years of my party.

[87:45] If you will be alive. Or, tell your children to invite me to your funeral. Next 15 years. I will be there. I will come. Are you seeing what I'm saying?

[88:00] Yeah. They say one thing. And you say, speak. Don't be gentle about it. Yeah. Don't be gentle and don't feel shy about what you have to say. Yeah. Don't feel shy about it.

[88:11] Did you hear what I said? Yeah. Don't feel shy about it. Speak it out. Right. Speak it out. When it comes to faith and declare your faith, be like a Nigerian. Wow. Don't be a British.

[88:24] British are too gentle and well too quiet. No. Nigerian will tell you, hey. Hey. Hey. We are packing my land. Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[88:35] Come out. Come out there. Come out for there. Come out for there. Oh yeah. You care to see. You'll be quiet. You'll be quiet. Wait. Wait. Wait. You'll be quiet.

[88:48] Why Ghana is help, please. Oh please. Oh please. As for the British, he says, excuse me sir. Do you mind moving your car from there?

[88:59] Yes, please. Yes, please. Oh yeah. If you don't, I may have to call the police. Nigerian man said, call the police. You can call the police.

[89:09] Let the police come. The police will come. Say, I'm not moving out of here. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. You can. I am here first.

[89:21] Shout hallelujah. When it comes to your belief, you have to be adamant. You have to be stubborn. You have to be tenacious. You have to be aggressive.

[89:31] You have to be violent and focused. Oh, someone shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. The reason why you start giving your tithe is because you don't believe the things you say.

[89:48] You don't believe it. One major bill or one, they dropped your salary suddenly because it took something. You decided I won't give tithe again.

[89:58] You came, you walked from the back, came to the front, collected an envelope from a servant of God who has God's word in his mouth. And when it was time to fulfill, Satan came to tell you, you don't have the money.

[90:13] And you also say, okay, it doesn't matter. And you intentionally forget about the whole thing. Be careful who you listen to.

[90:26] Honor your word to God by faith. Show that you a believer. Talk like a believer. Behave like a believer. Walk like a believer.
