[0:00] Thank you for tuning into this message by David Entry. Every true revival is a product of the strong preaching of God's word. May you receive a word from this message that will spark a revival in you.
[0:14] ! We can't spend time fasting and testimonies don't come fast.
[0:35] When we spend time fasting and praying, testimonies come fast. The Holy Spirit, Jesus said, I'll send you a helper.
[0:49] The Holy Spirit is the one who will help us to attain God's utmost. So if God wants to do something for your life, the first thing is the Holy Spirit is the Spirit that bears witness with our spirits.
[1:03] So the Holy Spirit comes or the Holy Spirit will begin to guide you. But the Spirit of Truth, John 16, 13, when He comes, He will guide you into all truth.
[1:17] So just so you know that there are some desires that come into people's hearts. Listen to this very carefully.
[1:28] There are some desires. When you are in church, you tend to know the oracles of God. So revelations are built on the oracles of God you are exposed to. Do you understand that?
[1:40] So it's easy. So sometimes when you listen to the word of God for a long time, you begin to even, there are times when you are getting some insights, which you might think is new, but it's already built on a lot of teachings that have been going on that have shaped your spiritual philosophy.
[1:57] But you won't realize it because it's become so much part of you. It's your automatic default way of thinking without you realizing it.
[2:07] Do you understand what I'm saying? So the mystery of honor. So there are different things God will use as instruments to guide you, to attract your focus, point your focus to somebody.
[2:19] Like Nicodemus came to Jesus and said, we know God is with you because no one can do these things except God be with him. So they saw the works of God. Whilst others will see it, but they won't realize that God is working here.
[2:32] Do you understand what I'm saying? So those things will play a role. However, then the Holy Spirit will guide you. There are some things that will enter your heart, which is not from you. It entered your heart.
[2:44] Let's say to start fasting and praying for souls. Look at how we started praying on the streets of London. No, this is the Holy Spirit. God naturally, why would you know that?
[2:55] You know, so some testimonies that you get, major testimonies are all built on your certain steps you take.
[3:06] Testimonies don't happen in a vacuum that somebody is in need. So testimony will happen for you. No, it doesn't work like that. God doesn't work because somebody is in need.
[3:17] He works, number one, based on his principles. And number two, because somebody is practicing something, activating something. He said, he's God who keeps covenants to thousands of generations.
[3:28] So he said, covenant keeping God. Once you press some buttons, God will act. Can we command God to show up with our prayers? No. But our prayers will make God show up.
[3:39] What led us to pray those prayers that make God show up is actually God. Do you understand what I'm saying? So God will provoke your heart. There are some things called the inclinations of the heart.
[3:51] Your heart is bent towards doing something differently. Bent on, which might not necessarily come naturally. But suddenly you want to do it a certain way. By the time you realize one thing leads to the other and testimonies are flowing.
[4:04] So testimonies really start from God. Because if it's the work of God, it must start from God. In other words, whatever you did to provoke the move of God, that thing you did, it is God who is at work in you.
[4:19] Both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Praise the Lord. Philippians 2.13 So that's what I mean when I say the Holy Spirit. Dama 2, prayer.
[4:30] It looks like it's very hard to get God to move without prayer. It's like God doesn't understand any language apart from the language of prayer.
[4:44] The only language God understands is prayer. It's a language that God needs to be able to preach. Prayer.
[4:56] That's why when God became man, there was not a day he didn't pray. He was always praying because Luke 18.1 Men always...
[5:07] Listen, as long as you remain a man, as long as you are a human being, to get God, that means his prayer. The Bible says that in the days of Enoch, from those days, men began to call on the name of the Lord.
[5:20] Men, from the days of Enoch. Genesis chapter 4 verse 26. And he called on it. Then began men to call upon the name.
[5:32] Those days, those days. God, that is the only way Seth could live. Else another person will kill him. Because Cain has killed Abel. Abel was the righteous seed.
[5:44] So Seth has given... So she gave birth to another one. Look at verse 25. And Adam knew his wife. And she bared a son and called his name Seth. For God says she has appointed me another seed instead of Abel.
[5:57] So this one was a replacement. Now, prayer is the only thing that can make sure this guy is protected. Protected species in heaven. Prayer. Prayer will secure your testimony and preserve your testimony.
[6:12] If you want to get married first, pray. Okay? Pray. Don't underestimate the place of prayer. The next point is faith. Faith. Faith. He said, don't bother coming to God if you won't believe it.
[6:24] He said, don't bother coming. Don't bother coming if you won't believe it. Yeah. Faith. When you are coming to God, come with faith in your heart. Come with faith in your heart.
[6:36] By faith, the elders obtain their testimony. Even those who are the elders, they are getting testimony by faith. How are you going to get testimony without faith? By faith, the elders obtain a good report.
[6:51] Let's all read it out loud. Let's go. One more time. What is the eight talking about? Faith. So let's replace the eight with faith.
[7:03] Let's go. How do you want to obtain a good report? So it will take faith for you to get that wonderful testimony.
[7:14] Faith means action. So then we understood that it says that, verse 4, by faith, a bell offered. Verse 5, by faith, Enoch was translated.
[7:25] He hasn't done it. It was translated. He said that by before it was translated, he has this testimony that he pleased God. So he pleased God. But without faith, it's not possible to please God. You know, so he pleased God.
[7:36] So by faith, Enoch pleased God. By faith, Noah moved. By faith, Abraham. By faith, it's 11. Sarah herself also. By faith.
[7:47] But in the verse 10, he said, of this obtain the promise. Of this died in faith. Died in faith, having no obtain the promise. So by faith, by faith. And then we understand that faith is an action.
[8:00] So when you say I have faith, it's better you shut up and act up. Faith is not just confession. It's possession.
[8:12] It's something that is. Hebrews 11. Now, faith is. So faith is.
[8:25] Faith day. That's how we say it in Nigeria. A day. Faith be there. It's there. Faith is. So when your faith is, you act.
[8:36] So Anna explained that faith will always make you take steps of obedience. Number four. Number four is covenant connections. And they are personalities God raises for seasons and for reasons.
[8:49] And the assignment God has given me in United Kingdom and our generation cannot be fulfilled just with one strain of a certain type of grace. I'm a carrier and a combination of different graces.
[9:03] Make no mistake. So covenant connections. In order to get connected, you definitely need to disconnect from some things. Bible says that wisdom is known by our children.
[9:16] It is foolishness to disconnect from what you know is working. To connect to what you are not sure whether it's working or not. Ah, I will choose to stay where that I know this thing is working or not.
[9:30] But maybe God is there. You say maybe. I will be with sure be than maybe. Gamble with your life.
[9:41] Try it your own life. If they say our sin is dangerous, so let me make, I want to try it. Go and drink it. You will not live to tell their story. Do you understand what I'm saying?
[9:52] I won't play a foolish game. To associate myself with somebody whose destiny I'm not sure of. And I've not seen the move of God on the person.
[10:04] Ah, let me stay safe. Safety first, yeah. Hallelujah. There are a lot of people, they disconnect from places of covenants and they drive. There is grace.
[10:15] There is grace. Don't disconnect from grace. I see grace working for you. So, covenant connections.
[10:27] It's called covenant connections. Just I want to stay connected. And disconnect from negative elements. Number five, sacrifices.
[10:40] Sacrifices. Bible said God had respect to the sacrifice of Abel. Yes. God had respect. Can you imagine? God had respect.
[10:53] God said, oh, hello. He couldn't ignore the sacrifice. God had respect. By faith, Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice. Therefore, look at Hebrews chapter 11 verse 4.
[11:06] By faith, Abel offered unto God more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous. God said, I have a testimony. God testified of his.
[11:18] His sacrifice gave God a testimony. Something to work with. Something to talk for. So, to the extent that even when he was dead, he was still speaking. Sacrifice gave him a voice in his absence.
[11:34] People can't just gang up somewhere and plan against you or make decisions and it will hurt you. You are not there. You don't have to be there. Your sacrifice will move things for you.
[11:46] I see your sacrifice speaking for you. It's somebody learning something. The next point. Ministry work. Commitment. Let's all say commitment. Say commitment.
[11:58] What you are committed to will determine what you'll be connected to. The glories that you'll be connected. What you are committed to. Ministry commitment secures testimonies.
[12:13] Commitment. One of my biggest advantages in life is, I know some of you are not aware. I know some of you, I know one or two of you might be aware. Me, I am super committed to work God's work.
[12:25] Yes. Committed to God's work. It makes me even feel like, when it comes to God's work, I feel like, it makes me sometimes feel like I'm a workaholic. Oh yes.
[12:35] Oh yes. I am committed. Committed. Committed. And I enjoy it. I enjoy it. There are no down moments for me when it comes to church work.
[12:47] Sometimes I just feel, I wish I was in church or doing some work of God. I just love it. And I'm committed. I will drain my last blood on the grounds of ministry.
[12:58] That is what guarantees certain levels of testimonies in my life. And you, you will have testimonies. The next point. The next point. Prophetic encounters.
[13:13] Peter said, I go fishing. And all night, they caught nothing. And they went forth and entered church. She immediately ended. That night, they caught nothing.
[13:24] I don't know what you've been trying to catch and you've not got anything. Then Jesus comes to them. He said, children, have you got any meat?
[13:34] So fish is meat. They answered him, no. Then he said, divine direction. Encounter. He gave them the, he said, cast your net. Cast the net on the right side of the ship.
[13:46] And you shall find. They cast therefore. And now, they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fish.
[13:57] Listen to. When I was, I was reading it today. He said, cast your net. They cast the net. Bible didn't say, and they caught fish. They said, they cast the net, but they couldn't draw the net. Why?
[14:08] Because as soon as they catch the net, fish was already inside the thing. For the multitude of fish. They couldn't, they cast the net, but couldn't even pull it. Because it was too much fish.
[14:19] How did that happen? Prophetic encounters. There are some people you encounter them. Your life cannot be the same again. There are some atmospheres you encounter. Your life cannot be the same.
[14:31] There are some meetings you enter. Your life cannot be the same. And I announce to you, this tonight is one of such meetings. If you believe it, shout yes, Lord.
[14:41] Yes. The next point. Relentless. Don't be tired. You keep pushing. You keep pushing. You push once, nothing is happening. Keep pushing. Keep pushing.
[14:52] Keep pushing. Keep pushing. Someone shout, push. That's the only way labor happens properly. A woman has to push. A baby has come to birth canal.
[15:03] You can't say, I'm too tired. You have to push. Push. Don't be tired. Keep pushing. Keep pushing. Continuity is important. Men always ought to pray and not to faint.
[15:14] So continue. And relentless. Let's pursue it. Then the next point is the meetings you attend. There are some meetings you attend. You are wasting your destiny. Other meetings you fail to attend, you are missing out on destiny.
[15:27] So you have to be sensitive. And the outcome of your life is the sum total of the meetings you have attended. Don't forget this. The services, the meetings, the programs you have attended.
[15:39] Yes. I see it working for you. And then finally, you will like this one. This one is the most powerful of all of them. Yes. It's the most powerful of all of them.
[15:50] Are you ready for it? Yes. The last point is a combination of all the other points. All of the above. All of the above.
[16:04] It will generate testimony. Because if you miss one action, this one will do. Oh, yes. Do not think, I've got a job. So now I don't need to take certain actions.
[16:16] Because if it is God who delivered that miracle, you better believe God. You better believe God.
[16:27] Pastor, so why are you teaching this? Because I'm believing God for you. Don't be too simplistic and believe what I'm saying. Be smart. Don't believe it.
[16:37] But those who have faith enough. Those who have faith enough. Look at your condition and determine the kinds of seas. The kinds of steps. The kinds of faith moves.
[16:48] The kinds of obedience. The kinds of connectivity. The kinds of ministry involvement. You have come to church. And then you walk. It works. But still connected.
[17:00] It is powerful. It's a means to secure a certain type of destiny. You don't just work for. So, number 10 is all the above.
[17:12] If you leave one. You have. You see. It's like you have left one little organ in your system. Do you know that bullet alone doesn't kill? I don't know if you know bullet.
[17:24] You see. You are not sure. Technically, bullet alone doesn't kill. That's why you need all the above. One thing alone may not do it. One thing alone.
[17:36] Believe in God for the fruit of the womb. Believe in God for a job. Believe in God for your ministry. Like I do. Believe in God for marriage. Especially those who are believing God for marriage.
[17:47] I think I need to provoke you. Provoke you. Start taking wild steps. As if you do not see wild manifestations. So shall it be.
