[0:39] We serve a faithful God. We serve a mighty God. We serve an awesome God. [0:51] His word has never failed. The Bible says in Hebrews that He sustains all things by the word of His power. [1:10] He sustains all things by the word of His power. He sustains all things by the word of His power. You are not miserable if you've got God's word. [1:24] If you don't have the word, then we don't know what will happen to you. But if you have His word, then we know what will happen at the end. [1:36] The surest future is in God's word. It's kind of late for 2016 not to work for you. [1:49] Amen. It's kind of late. Everything has been put in place ready for you. [2:02] All you've got to do is to believe God. To make it. Your believing God qualifies you to be a full beneficiary of what He has prepared for the days ahead. [2:19] And that's exactly what will happen for you. In Jesus' mighty name. This is the last session of this. All the faith seminars of this year. [2:31] It's the last session. The Bible says the gospel which they heard did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith. [2:46] In them, Hebrews 4.2, in those or in them who heard. In them, when they heard it, which, but the word which they heard, did not profit them, did not profit them, did not mix with faith in those who heard it. [3:07] whilst the word is coming, you're also working with it. Mixing it with faith. Mixing with, it said, therefore, cast not away your confidence, which has a great recompense of reward. [3:23] Hebrews chapter 10, verse 35, which has a great recompense of reward. verse 36, for you have need of patience, for you have need of patience, endurance, endurance, that after you have done the will. [3:37] Verse 36 says that, for you have need, for you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive the promise. But you can't do the will of God, if you cast away your confidence. [3:54] Your confidence must be in what God has said. So, your research must be what God is saying. You research into what God is saying, put your confidence in what He has said, when you find it, and you keep your confidence and not throw it away, because it has a great recompense of reward. [4:20] Because you have need of patience. It's not like you plant the cassava today, or you plant the corn today, and tomorrow it's full-blown, full-grown corn. No, you have need of patience. [4:31] The thing works. Somebody is just blessed. I am ready. Well, let's get into it. Pastor Charles, use all my scriptures, so now I don't have any. [4:50] It's so much in the Spirit. It's just downloaded everything I've got to say. The scriptures, it's taken all of them. So, now please bear with me. I need to seek the face of God to find other scriptures. [5:05] Hallelujah. Let's appreciate God for it, Pastor Charles. God bless you. God bless you. We thank God for your life. You are definitely a blessing to us. [5:17] You are an encouragement to this house. And the Lord continue to rain his blessing upon you. In Jesus' name. In the book of Joshua chapter 21, it says, it says, something very powerful. [5:34] Joshua chapter 21, verse 45, it said, not a word fail of any good thing which the Lord has spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass. [5:46] not a word. Not a word. Not a word. Not a word. Not a word. Not a word. Of any good thing which the Lord has spoken to the house of Israel. [6:03] God is a speaking God. Right. Right. And God, when he speaks, he speaks to his people. [6:15] That's right. He speaks to people. When God wants to help you, speak to you. That's right. God is a speaking God. When God wants to do anything in your life, he will send a word. [6:30] He speaks his word first. And then when he speaks his word, his spirits, when we open our hearts, his spirit begins to show us his word, pictures in his words. [6:41] And when we see the pictures in his words, we begin to run, leave out the pictures we see. Oh man. In spite of prevailing conditions around us, we choose to run with the pictures. [6:57] We choose to run with the word that we have received. That the word is true. Jesus said, Matthew, John 17, 17. He says that, sanctify them by your truth. [7:08] Your word is truth. The word of God says, sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth. The word of God is truth. Listen to this. People, prayer can be made for you. [7:18] And I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. Visiting the poor. People receiving impartations. People shaking. People falling. But you know, that's not what changes their lives. No, that's not what changes their lives. [7:30] He says that, you will know the truth. And it's the truth that sets you free. That's right. The truth you know. He said, you will know the truth, and the truth you know, shall set you free, or shall make you free. [7:47] John 8, 32. You will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. And so, we have to take our time to find out what the scriptures are saying, or what the scripture is saying. [8:00] And once you find out what the scripture is saying, you say that, let God be true. and every man a liar. Romans 3, 4. Let God be true, and every man a liar. [8:16] Let God be true, and every man a liar. Once you come across God's word. That's faith. Faith. [8:28] Someone shall faith. Faith. Faith. He says that, 1st John chapter, our theme for the, the theme scripture, the key scripture for the season, or for this faith seminar. [8:41] 1st John chapter, 5 verse 4. Shall we all read it out loud together? From the screen. Let's go. Let's go. One more time. [8:56] Louder. Let's go. May I hear the ladies. Ladies, can you please read it out loud for us? [9:07] Let's go. Ladies. For whatever is born of God, for the first faith seminar. Shh. Loud out loud. Ladies, I want the ladies. I mean, if you believe God's word, read it out loud. Okay. Loud. Let's go. Let's go. For whatever is born of God, for the first faith seminar. [9:21] And this is the victory that has to come across the world. Our faith. One more time. The men, sorry. Down the men. Gentlemen, let's go. That's very slow. [9:32] Give me some punch. Men, let's go. That's still very low and very soft. Men, read it. Let's go. For whatever is born of God, overcomes the world. [9:43] And this is the victory that has to come across the world. Our faith. Let's all read it. Two more. Let's go. For whatever is born of God, overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has to come across the world. [9:56] Our faith. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. What ever, King James said, whatsoever is born of God. [10:10] Joshua, can you please come? Whatsoever is born of God, Joshua, can you please come? Please come. Amen. He said, the text says that whatsoever, say whatsoever, whatsoever is born of God. [10:34] Anything that proceeds out of God has an upper hand over anything in the world. Okay. So, let's say this is the world. [10:48] This, born of God. Okay. And he said, whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. So, put your hand on your shoulder like you have overcome it. Okay. And then, is that all he said? [11:01] Victory. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes. He said, for your information, the victory. He didn't say when you overcome. He said, normally when you overcome, you get victory. [11:12] But I said, it's victory actually that overcomes the world. whatsoever is born of God is either victory or has victory. Because the overcoming element, whatever is born of God overcomes the world. [11:28] And he says that actually, the overcoming element is victory. Amen. And he says that, this is the victory that overcomes, the overcoming element, which is the victory. [11:41] He says that, our faith. Whatsoever is born of God has faith. If it's God working, there must be faith somewhere. [11:55] Yeah. Because the victory actually that overcome is our faith. So, in our relationship with God, anything that God is doing, if it's coming out from God, that means that our faith is, you have to engage your faith. [12:11] For you to receive anything from God, you have to engage of. And when, once it's of God, your faith makes God do things. And once it's from God, there's nothing that can stop it. [12:22] There's nothing that can overcome it. And he says that, so, whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world. Even our faith, it's from God. And the world is concerned. The world is being overcome by something. [12:34] And then, when he looks, all he sees is faith. Okay. When you start out, you look, God is born of God. It's overcoming. [12:45] But the world said that actually thing that is overcoming is our faith. Are you getting what I'm saying? Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. [12:59] The victory that overcomes the world is our faith. Whatever is born of God is born based on our faith. Nothing can be done for you by God without the involvement of your faith. [13:16] And if you and God, if God does it, or if God says, I'm going to do it, and then your faith gets involved, what does that mean? There's nothing that can stop its manifestation. [13:31] Thank you very much, Seth. Let me show you something. In Hebrews, chapter 11, let's go to Pastor Charles' text. He has used it there already. Okay, so, but this is reusable. [13:46] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Now, now, now, faith, now, faith, Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 1, now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [14:10] you haven't seen it, but you have the evidence. [14:33] you have it. Now, things not seen there means that things that have physically not yet been experienced. [14:47] so, if you are a woman, married woman, who is waiting for a child, at the moment, you don't have the child, but, faith is the substance. [15:01] Faith is what gets into the future and pushes. So, you are living here, but you are living though physically, as it were, you don't have a child, but you just know you have the child. [15:13] And, it's difficult for someone to convince you that you can't have a child because, no, I have the evidence now. Oh, get it, get it, get it. I've got the evidence. [15:23] So, it's difficult for anybody to be able to tell me I don't have a child because I have it. The difference between, first of all, before I go, faith is a fact. [15:39] Faith is a fact not yet materialized. Oh, I like that. Do you get it? It's there. [15:50] It's a fact. So, it's not like, okay, how, how, how, faith versus fact or faith versus science. Faith, no, no, no. Faith is a fact. How, sir, how do you live on facts that you don't know? [16:08] No, you must, you must know something. You must know and have it. So, faith is a fact. It's, listen to it, brothers and sisters. Bible says that faith is actually tangible. [16:21] It's tangible. faithful. The Greek word, faith is the substance of things hoped for. Means, is the Greek word, hopus, hopus, hopus, the substance, the actual substance of things hoped for. [16:35] You already have the substance. Did I buy the land? Yeah, I did. Where is it? It's not here. But what shows that you bought the land? And then you show the title deed. They haven't seen the land, but they see the title deed, they know it's somewhere. [16:48] I know it's somewhere. Somewhere. The title is telling you that New Cross, it's everyday, New Cross, or one of the streets called Pomeroy Street, is there. You don't even know where New Cross is. [17:00] But you have seen the title deed. It tells you you land in New Cross, Pomeroy Street. So you can rest assured. But your friend will tell you, but you haven't seen the land. But have the title deed. [17:12] The title deed is the evidence of the land I haven't actually seen. And so, I can, watch this, I can plan the future with the title deed. [17:29] You can, you can plan your future with the title deed that you've got. With the confidence of what God has said. That's right. [17:43] Now, you will not get married. Who told you? So now, your job is to be a researcher. Search in the script. But pastor, how do I know that this job is God who is giving it to me? [17:54] I don't know. You yourself, go and find out. If you can find any evidence, little evidence that shows that it's the will of God for you to have that job, then that's it. [18:06] So don't give it a job to go into the Bible to look for a job for you. Go into the Bible and look for that job. Look for that husband. Look for that wife. Look for that baby. Look for it yourself. [18:18] Once you find it, you say, God, I've found it. And then now, the devil becomes a race. The devil begins to try and rest with your mind because the devil begins to, his job is now to convince you that God didn't say it, to convince you that it is not true, to convince you that it's not working. [18:33] But once you find the world and you know that this is what God is saying, you mix it with faith and you begin to run with it in spite of what the devil is saying. That's right. Thank you, God. [18:44] Thank you. That's why we have to be busy teaching God's word so that people can find themselves in the word. [18:54] Thank you. I want to end on confession. But I want to start on the word. [19:09] Giving substance to the word. Somewhere, you know, I wanted to use this reason, but I said, let me leave it. There's a man called, there was a man called Mordecai. [19:23] Mordecai was almost at the brink of dying because his execution, Galus had already been prepared. [19:35] He didn't know. His enemy who had more power went to go and seek the final approval to execute him. But just when he got to the palace, the king couldn't, the Bible said that that text starts, the chapter starts with that knife, they could, they seek, that night, the king could not sleep. [19:59] That is the beginning of somebody's breakthrough. You just don't know who is not able to sleep. Who will be able to sleep tonight? [20:15] That's where the hand of God works on your behalf. that night, the king could not sleep. Did he say the king did not? [20:25] He could not. He wanted to but the sleep was not coming. He tried, the sleep was not coming. He put his hand on the pillow and something bounces his head by that. He couldn't. So he commanded that, bring the books of the records of the chronicles that we will read before the king. [20:46] That they may read before the king. And it was found written. It was found written. It was found written. [20:57] Say it was found written. It was found written. Say louder. It was found written. It was found written. That Mordecai had told of Bikdana and Teresh, two of the king's enochs, the bookkeepers who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. [21:23] It was, say it was found written. It was found written. Oh, I can't hear you. It was found written. Louder. It was found written. Once it's written, find it. [21:35] Listen, if it had not been found written, then God would have died the last morning. It was found written. [21:47] Go look for what is written. It's written somewhere. Your marriage is already written somewhere. Your marriage is written. Your health, your healing is already written somewhere. [22:00] God is already going to go look for it. Search the scriptures. Search it and don't settle down. Search it. Why would you be a manufacturer? [22:13] How dare you call yourself a manufacturer of a car when you can't make spare parts? What kind of manufacturer are you? God has solutions for every problem of humanity and they are all in the spare parts store written. [22:32] How do you find it? It is written somewhere. It's written. So Satan shows up to Jesus and he says, now my time, my turn to bully you and bully you because I'm here on earth. [22:46] I have more control. And Jesus said, not as long as I know what is written. Matthew chapter 4 verse 4, Luke chapter 4 verse 4, Jesus said it is written. [23:00] Matthew chapter 4 verse 7, Luke chapter 4 verse 8, and Jesus said it is written. Matthew chapter 4 verse 10, Luke chapter 4 verse 10, and Jesus said it's written. It's written somewhere. [23:14] It's written somewhere. It's written. Someone shout, it's written. It's written. Your freedom is written. [23:26] It's been enshrined somewhere in a document. It is written somewhere. [23:39] two assignments you got. First of all, find it. And when you find it, I'm going to show you what you do with it. Jesus told them in the book of John chapter 10 verse 35, he said, and the scriptures cannot be broken. [23:59] So listen, that means if you find the scriptures and stand on it, there's no way you sink on any water. The scriptures cannot be broken. And sir, he says somewhere it is written about you in the scriptures. [24:17] And what is written cannot be broken. Satan fears what is written. So if you find what is written and you can bank your life on it, the scriptures cannot be broken. [24:29] The situations will be broken, but the scriptures cannot be broken. Shout, it is written. It is written. It is written somewhere. [24:42] That night, the king could not sleep. He requested the books and they found it written. Does that make sense when you read Revelation chapter 5 and from verse 1 and he said, I saw in heaven. [25:01] He said, I saw on the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back sealed with seven seals. [25:12] I prefer the King James. Give me the King James. King James said, go back to verse 1. King James said the book. written both inside and outside. He said, I found. [25:28] So for your information, the scroll is something that contains written documents, inscriptions, things I've written. In those days, they used to write on scrolls. [25:38] So it's in the book. That's why King James used I found a book. I found a scroll and it has been sealed. The Romans, when it's a high classified document, they sealed it in seven places. [25:51] The Jews, it has to be witnessed, at least if it's a high sensitive and very important document among the Jews, it must be witnessed by at least three. It must be authenticated by three witnesses and sealed with at least three seals. [26:07] And so the more sensitive information, the more seals you need. So that no one can tamper with it. and he said then, I saw on the right hand of the one who sat on the throne, a book written within and on the back and sealed. [26:30] But what we want is what is written. But it's sealed. That's why you have to be a researcher now. All your life. [26:42] The Bible is not for theology. It's to find out you. Find where you are in it. Everything before you were born until you died is already about you. [26:54] I'm talking about you. You think it's about Abraham? No, it's about you. You think it's about Moses? It's about you. You think it's about David? No, it's about you. Tell someone, it's about me. [27:08] He said, he said, Lord, behold, I come for in the volume of the book is written constantly. It's written on me. The books are describing you. You are not an accident. [27:24] Your life story has already been chronicled before you were born. Thank you, Lord. [27:35] It was chronicled, it has been recorded and documented before you were born, but guess what? It's sealed. So, I saw the one on him who sat on the throne in his right hand a book written both in and out and sealed with seven seals. [27:55] One of these days when I started, I'll teach some things about biblical numerologies. There are a lot of numerologies and numerological symbolisms in the scriptures. Seven, two, one, five, twelve. [28:09] So many. Why? Why? Twelve months. Why? Twelve disciples. Why twelve tribes? Why? Twelve hours in a day. Twelve hours in a day. Why? [28:20] Twelve. Oh, yeah. So, tomorrow we are ending one twelve. To start another twelve. But, but, but, let, let's, so, it's still sealed with seven seals. [28:34] And verse two says that, and I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a large voice, who is worthy to open the book and to lose the seal thereof. Verse three, and no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to lose, to look therein. [28:53] You can't open to look inside. No one was worthy. No one was worthy, qualified. And I wept too much because no one was worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look therein. [29:06] but it needs to be written, it needs to be read because it's written of me inside the air. That's why he was crying. I need to find out what God said about me. [29:21] And then he said that one of the elders said unto me, weep not, behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to lose the seven seals thereof. [29:32] Shout hallelujah. And you know when you open the book, you know what he found in the book? Chapter 6 verse 1, he opened the first seal, then he opened the second seal, he opened the third seal to the seventh seal. [29:43] Everyone, chapter 5, verse 7, and I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, come and see. [29:57] Guess what? He opened the book, they said, come and see. And then when I went there, so what did he see? Written document, he saw pictures, he went and saw a movie, in the book. [30:11] There are pictures in the scriptures concerning your life. That's why Jesus said the scriptures cannot be broken. So now, what faith is about is to get to the text, get to the scriptures. [30:27] Now, if you are not born again, the thing is sealed. it is sealed. The only one who can let you see what is written is the lion of the tribe of Judah. [30:40] He has prevailed. He has prevailed to open the seal. And then the first seal he opened, and so, some of us, we are seal number one, others are seal number two, depending on, but he's opening, as you walk with him, he's opening it, he's showing things, he's opening, and when you see it, you begin to act it. [31:00] When you see it, you begin to mix faith, and begin to act it. That's why we come to church, so that the seal can be opened. That's why we read your Bible, so that when you come to church, and you receive a word from God, you receive the word of God, you go back home to do the research, continue the research, because your spirit has now been opened up into a certain avenue of God's word, and as you begin to search for it, it enters your heart. [31:23] Bible says, faith comes. And now, when faith comes, faith delivers, because this is the victory that overcomes the world. [31:39] Our faith. Somebody shout hallelujah. So what am I trying to say? That it starts with God's word. Now, watch this. [31:51] So it says, we understand, but it says that now, faith is the substance of things who are looking for the evidence of things not seen. So when you get to God's word, you begin to see the pictures of your future, the pictures of possibilities that God has laid down for you. [32:11] And then once you begin to believe it, believing it begins to bring it into your life. Now, and so, watch this, you can, you, you, you, you, I mean, I know, I know that I'll be celebrating definitely, I'll be at my daughter's wedding. [32:31] If Christ arrives. Oh, yeah. I know it. I know it. I know it. I'm not encouraging myself, but I'm telling you I know it now. I'll be at my daughter's wedding. [32:43] I'll be, I'll be, I'll be celebrating my 50th year in, in Christ. I will. I will. [32:54] And celebrate 50th year in ministry. I will. And I will preach on that day without any stake needed. Because it's just, just, just about 25 years down the line. [33:08] It's not too far. By that time, some people have still, they're now finishing paying mortgage. They have gone for something that most of you by that time, you have paid off fee. Paid off. [33:22] Are there people here who have seen yourself not own anybody? You must know that you are not a debtor. [33:36] You are not a debtor. You are a lender. Now, now, watch this. Now, this is what faith is. And then, you hear these things, accept it in your spirit. [33:47] Believe it. It's true. It's true. Believe it. And begin to work with it. Work with it, like Pastor Charles said, live it out. Someone say, why don't you go and take a loan? [34:00] I say, no, no, I'm not a believer. But, you are dying, don't worry. I still know. For instance, for instance, for instance, if I'm a man and I can't have a child, or I don't have a child yet, and now, you are 50 years old, and still not have a wife, but you need a child, would you say, no, no, I'm getting too old. [34:27] I can't wait for a wife again. Let me just go ahead and give birth. Myself. Have it be myself. Let me just go to the labor watch and just go. No, can you think about that? [34:37] You can't because it's not with you. You don't have what it takes. In the same way, some of us must now begin to see yourself in the scriptures and know that it actually is not part of your DNA to borrow. [34:53] The reason why you are borrowing is you think it's normal. It's rather abnormal looking at who you are. But you are looking at your financial state. No, not your financial state. [35:04] I'm talking about who you actually are being made. What the book says about you. Going around borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing. You have a credit card in this modern world in your pockets. [35:16] A Christian like you with faith, you have a credit card, you have two, three, and you have been used in every time. You use them to buy. You have store credit cards to buy things on credit in the shop. [35:31] You have bought you money to buy gifts for people this Christmas with a credit card. Oh, you don't know yourself. I need to buy, you don't need, now, if I am 60 years old and I don't have a wife, would I say, okay, now I have to just produce a child by myself? [35:51] It doesn't happen like that. So where did you get this idea from? It seems to be working. It's killing you. It's not working, it's actually killing you. Wow. [36:04] I'm saying some serious things by the special grace of God. Open a scroll because he has removed the seal. The scriptures cannot be broken. [36:20] It was found in the book that Mordecai is found In, Toby is found in, John Luke is found in the book that Presla is found in the book. [36:45] It's found in the book. You are in the book. somebody shout i am in the book oh come on shout i am in the book i am in the book find who you are in the book and begin to live with faith is the watch this watch this the substance of things hoped for but in my studies i've said it here a while ago that they're actually faith is the hopostasis of things hoped for it's hopostasis is not just the substance is not just like it is a substance but actually when i did my studies very well i found out that it wasn't referring to substance as a noun but substance as verb so hopostasis being a verb not a noun i will explain those of you who didn't have english teachers now it's the teacher's fault now and i said a difference between a noun and a verb is a verb it's doing so singing is it a verb or noun song is it a verb or noun okay play is it a verb or noun it depends on the context it depends on the okay you can play and it was on play all right we were watching a play so it depends the verb with a verb you don't need a but verb is doing now let me know which time on that so hopostasis faith is the watch this it's actually not just the substance but it's more of substantiating you are giving that's what you said you are actually acting out what is written faith is acting out what is written faith is an action pastor frank was teaching on faith is an action word for faith to be faith it must be an action faith we must look at you and see faith you can't say you don't know it's in my heart no faith is that's in the heart but it shows on the hands and we can't say you don't know it's in the heart but it's in the heart and we can read faith on your lips every time two things every faith genuine faith must have legs and a mouth when you have faith you will see the movements when you have faith you will hear your speech two things that's that's all so when we talk about faith is the substance is the substantiation faith is the the the substantiating of of things hopeful so i haven't seen it but i'm acting it out because, watch this, watch this, watch this, because physically it hasn't manifested, but I have seen it in my spirit through the book. [40:16] I have seen it. God said it. I have seen it. The Bible says in the book of Hebrews 11, verse 27, about Moses, how he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of God. By faith, Moses forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. [40:34] So when he was doing all that, he was seeing something. That is why he could know he was not afraid of the king. You mean king? The king can, with just the thumb of the finger, get you executed. He said, no, I will be alive because I have been sent to bring them out of Egypt. [40:50] I'm not afraid. That's why he went before the king. He left and came back. He went to the king because he knew that there was no way he could die because he's far not from God that he's a saint man. A saint man cannot die. [41:01] In the book of Acts, chapter 28, the Bible says that, chapter 27, the angel told Paul in the midst of the shipwreck that you need to be in Rome. [41:12] You have to be in Rome. So you are not dying on the high seas. And Paul said, I believe God that it shall be unto me just as it was told by the angel. [41:23] And so did Paul get to Rome or not? He did. When he came out of the storm, a venerable snake farted on his hand, beat him. They were waiting for him to die. [41:34] But you know what? He's got the word. He's going to Rome so he could not die. What makes you think that that sickness is going to bring you down? [41:50] But that's what the doctor said. And so what? You always want to hear what is said by others. Why don't you also give some credence to what God is saying? [42:02] That's faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. So you can either choose to live the way everyone is living or live differently and live by the way God is saying. [42:15] He did not fear the wrath of the king. Amen. And as seeing him who is invisible. He endured as seeing. [42:25] So he went through challenges. Watch this. Watch this. He went through challenges. Yeah. He went through some difficult times. But once he was going through the difficult times, guess what? [42:36] He was focusing on what he was seeing. So he endured. The Bible said he endured as seeing him who is invisible. So whilst he was enduring, his tater was someone who is enduring but he's seen something. [42:51] He's enduring. He's seen something. He said, come on. Why don't you borrow? No, I won't borrow. But you won't have free to. It doesn't matter. God will provide at the right time. God will provide because he's, I'm not a borrower. It's not in my DNA. [43:02] It's not part of what I saw written about me. I am going on. I'm moving on. I'm moving on. They said, okay, you are growing. Why don't you just settle with any boy, any man at all? Let him marry you. Even if the man is married, all you need is just to also have a child for him. [43:14] And then he said, no, no, no. I can't settle down. The devil is a liar because that's not my status. That's not who I am. That's not who I am. I'm going to go. I'm going to keep going on with God's word. I'm holding on to. [43:25] So he endured. I seen him who is invisible. Others can't see him, but he could see him. Do you see what? I see him who is invisible. You see who is invisible? [43:36] Yes. Faith you can see. By faith you can endure seeing. Seeing as seeing. So practically it's not there, but you can see because it's already been told you. [43:48] I saw the verse 16 that got my attention. This one will shock a lot, a few of us. Sorry, verse 13 of Hebrews chapter 11. [43:59] That verse is a serious one. The first statement there was quite interesting. Tell you all about that first statement before the command. Let's read it. Let's go. [44:10] These all die in faith. Eh? Eh, eh, eh, eh. Think, think, think, think, think. First statement without before the command. [44:21] All right. Just to the word that it says in faith. That's really all out. Let's go. These all die in faith. Some of you are not reading. Read it out loud. These all die in faith. Louder. These all die in faith. [44:35] Who? All these guys we are talking about, they died in faith. But they just shall live by faith. They, yeah, yeah. They were still, they were living in faith till their time was ready to live. [44:46] They continued living in faith. But watch this. Watch this. This is very interesting. They died in faith not having received the promise. Now think about it. Their faith was attached to the promise that was being given them. [44:59] And yet, so it's like God said, I'll give you a son. He believed it. He spoke about it. He kept talking about it till he died. And yet, the people didn't see the son, but he has already seen the son. [45:12] So, these all died in faith not having received the promise, but having seen them afar off, were assured of them. Okay. So, faith will make you see what others haven't seen. [45:25] So, in human terms, they may think you died a failure. No. But you died in a breakthrough. You died a victim. You died fulfilled because they think you haven't received, but you have. [45:41] No, no, no. What I'm saying is quite interesting. It's quite, because most of us have tied our faith to physical manifestations. I like what you said. What did you say? Right now. [45:53] The right now physical manifestation. Faith is not tomorrow. Faith is now. But it's not so much about physical manifestation as it is about the reality of what the world has spoken. [46:04] And I'm not waiting for tomorrow for it to happen. It has happened now and I'm living in it now. So, others will look at me. You haven't seen it. You don't have to see it. [46:14] I have seen it. Me, I'm the one who matters. It's not you. I have seen it. I have seen it. Amen. I have seen it. So, it says that by faith, faith is the substance of things, so for the evidence, I've got it. [46:31] Got the evidence. So, guess what? When you walk by faith, you give a few people some problems. You give them problems. Because they don't understand why you behave like that. [46:44] Because, they walk by sight. They are making judgment by sight. And you're also making decisions by faith. And they look at you. Listen, what is it? [46:55] Can I tell you some of the things that you might have told somebody before who is attempting to walk in faith? Or, they have told you and they will still tell you. Now, you know what? Now, let's face reality. When reality sets in. [47:12] It has set in long term. That's why I started talking the way I'm talking. What other reality are you talking? You don't know. The Lord is my healing. [47:24] The Lord is my healer. You say, no, brother, that's face reality. This thing, you are not healed. And you too, you are saying that, you think I'm not, you think I'm not, I'm healed. [47:37] I am healed. I am healed. My healing has already been provided. So, no, no, please, stop this thing. What is going on with you? What is going on with me is just the physical things that normally goes on with people. [47:51] But the reality is that I am healed. How do you know you are healed? The word said it. And then start working. That, that, that, that, that, that testimony is amazing. It's an amazing one. Severe toothache. [48:03] And one day, she actually left the service to go and sit at the molecular course. The toothache was very aching. Yes. The toothache was severe. [48:16] And I saw her. I said, tomorrow morning, please try and go to the dentist. That's the rational thing to do. But she was also operating under that faith. [48:30] It wasn't that I wasn't operating in faith because I can't slap my faith on her. So she had seen something that, the book is written of you, no others. [48:41] Don't be reading to look for what is written about others. It's of me. So she has seen what is of me. I haven't seen her there. I've seen myself there. But I haven't seen her there. So what I tell her is, okay, you go and do what everybody does. [48:53] And she said, no, I found myself there and I'm demanding my healing. I'm going to be well. And she didn't go. And the thing just left her. And she ended up receiving what she actually saw concerning her life. [49:07] your faith will save you a lot of stress. The devil is making you fear. [49:22] Say, you see what I was doing? There are many of us here who fear dogs. Fear dogs. They say, oh, come on, the dog is not doing anything. [49:33] He said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey, oh, come on. They're walking by. A dog will just not fear. It's unreasonable. Unreasonable fear. [49:45] Yeah. And the devil is promoting the fear in you about your marriage. And people have had the audacity to be telling you, questioning you, questioning Christianity to you. [49:59] Looking at you and say, this thing, the way you are doing this thing, and you are now beginning to think, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Satan is getting your attention. Satan is, very soon, you realize that you are wrong. [50:13] You are wrong. And those who knew they were not wrong ended up being right. Even though both of you started at the same entry, later on, you realize that you are far behind. [50:26] Others have gone way, breaking through, settled down in life, doing well in ministry, doing well in family life, doing well, and you can't even find where you are. [50:40] Because he says that if any drawback, draws back, my soul will not have pleasure in you. We are not of them that drawback onto perdition. We are not of them that drawback onto perdition. [50:55] Your faith is working for you. Tell someone, it's written of me. Tell someone, it's written of me. It's written of me. In the volumes of the book, it's written of me. Bible says that now, faith is the substance. [51:07] I want to just quickly move on, and then I can talk about confession and then we are done. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things hoped for. Remember, I said faith is substantiating things that you hope for. [51:18] Giving it a substance. So you give it a substance. Faith is the substantiating of things hoped for. The evidence of things hoped for. By it, the elders obtained a good report. [51:32] The seniors, the people are ahead. The reason why they are ahead is because of faith. And the reason why you will be ahead. Because of faith. [51:50] Not because of makeup. More ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Not because of your paycheck. No. There are others who are earning far better than you and they are still frustrated. [52:05] They are nowhere. By faith, your faith will put you ahead. Amen. Do you know why? Because when you operate by faith, you operate in the class of God. [52:15] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you are not a mere man. You are not an ordinary person. You don't operate based, your budget is not based on your income or your salary. [52:27] Your budget is based on your faith. You see, God says, that I provided a five-bedroom house for you. He says, that's what I'm going to buy. You go to the man and say, I found out it's on the market for sale. [52:39] How much is it? He says, I want to buy it. How much do you want to put down? I don't have anything at the moment. I don't have it at the moment. But it's mine. So why do you make, why do you think I want to deal with serious people? [52:49] Yeah, I'm a serious person. Do I look on serious? So I need to see substance. I need to see, I am the substance. I'm telling you, I'm buying it. He said, oh, go. He goes to sleep and he sees that you have bought a house. The next day, he sees that you have bought a house. [53:01] The other day, he sees that suddenly he realizes, in fact, let me give it to this person. However you pay, I don't care. He gives it to you. We have deposited here right now. Who bought houses? Big houses. I'm not talking about small, small house. [53:12] Big house. They bought big house without any down payment. In London. In this season. This very year. So why are you beating yourself with what I have? [53:25] Credit, money. No, no, no. It's not the scoring. It's not that. It's the faith in. Oh, let's face reality. [53:36] You are the problem now. The reality is that it can be done. Why? Listen. Why? Not because others have done it, but first of all, because I found in the text that this is my turn and it belongs to me. [53:53] That's one. And then two, sometimes you find testimonies of others. That shows that you are the only one who having done it. Others have done it. I don't even know why you are not married and you still think you may not marry. [54:07] Not you. Why? Why do you think that you will be very unwell? Why do you think this sickness, nothing can be done about it? [54:22] Why? Why do you think you will be able to raise enough money to pay off this mortgage? Why? The money is all somewhere. [54:37] it can get to you within one week. One week. One week. One week. Come out. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. This is possible. [54:48] somebody is receiving 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. 24 hour. I said somebody is receiving 24 hour. 24 hour. is happening for you in the name of Jesus. [55:04] In the name of Jesus. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So by faith we understand, the Bible says by faith we understand that the wells were framed by the word of God now. [55:19] That's where I'm going. The wells were framed by the word of God. Okay, so for God, for God to frame the world, all he needed was a word. And he said, that's how I made you. [55:30] I made you in my image. But watch this very carefully. To frame your world, you don't need just words. Read the text again. [55:41] It says that by faith we understand the wells were framed by words. By what? By what? Okay. [55:53] It didn't say the world was framed, the wells were framed by words. Somebody speaks. Because actually it was words. But it was a particular word. [56:03] A particular type of word that impacts the world. So by faith we understand that the wells were framed by the word of God. So to frame your world, you have to get the word of God. [56:16] You go to God's word, find out what is written about you, and guess what? You begin to frame your world with it by speaking it. By speaking it. By speaking it. [56:27] So as we hear Pastor Charles said, he says that faith, we believe with the heart, but confession is made unto salvation. If you don't speak, if you don't profess, when the brother was coming to sing, the first, the scripture he quoted when he was about to sing, Hebrews chapter 10, verse 23. [56:43] In fact, yesterday I showed you that it says that, let's therefore hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. Now, that word confession is homologia. [56:56] And the word translated hope actually is also originally is faith. It's faith. So in the King James, the King James uses the word faith. [57:09] Let's hold firm. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. Why? Because God is faithful. See? So watch this. [57:20] Faithful is who has promised. So what you are saying is you are just speaking his promise. And so your faith, the word of God, we understand that the word was framed by the word of God. The word you speak must be the word you have received from God. [57:32] Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. And watch this. Faith works by speaking and speaking the word of God. If you don't speak, faith won't work. [57:45] But what you got to speak is the word of God. God. So he said that, I said, he said, Jeremiah 37, he said, son of man, can these bones live? I said, Lord, you know it. He said, therefore, verse 5, I prophesied to the bones. [57:57] And he said, and I prophesied as I was commanded. I didn't concoct the word for myself. It came from somewhere. And when he spoke to me, I also spoke. He said, say it. And I also said it. [58:08] Say it. And then when I said it, just as he has said, I began to see movements. I began to see, how? I spoke and bones began to move. Yes, because he didn't speak your own words. He spoke God's word. [58:22] Speak God's word. Speak. You have repeated too much the medical condition. You have repeated it too many times. Repeated it too many, even to people who don't have to hear it. [58:37] Repeated it too many. And that's when they are saying, they said, I've got this. They said, this is what's going to happen. They said, they said, they said. You believe so much in they said, and you don't have much to do with what he said. [58:52] There's a lot of they said catalog in your conversation, in your speech, than he said. That said the Lord. That said the Lord. That said the Lord. That said the Lord. [59:03] Over 3,000 times in the Bible, that said the Lord. That said the Lord. Elijah came, like you quoted. Elijah came and he said that there shall not be rain for three and a half years and said by my word. [59:15] That's right. And when you study the text, his word is what he has heard from God. That's right. Hallelujah. Amen. He had an encounter and when they spoke, because of his encounter with God, now his word, God's word became his word. [59:28] That's right. And it was happening. Yes. It's wet. Homologia. Speak the word. I don't hear you. Homologia. Speak the word. [59:46] Speak the word. Homo. Same. Logia. Speaking. Same speaking. Word speaking. So what God has said, just say it. [59:57] What God has said. But you see, don't just be a mimic. Okay. Okay. He said, for God's sake, for God's sake. That he gave you. So your mind is even on what you are saying. You just heard it. You are repeating it. [60:08] That's not what we're talking about. What he said entered your heart and suddenly it began to flow out of your mouth. That's right. Flowing out of your mouth. That's right. So let the weak say, I am healed. [60:20] So you begin to say it. Let the weak say, I'm strong. Let the sick say, I'm healed. Let the weak say, I'm strong. So you begin to say, I'm strong. Begin to say, I'm strong. And whilst you are saying, I'm strong, I'm strong. [60:33] I'm strong. I'm strong. We walk by faith and not by what you are seeing. What you are seeing, sensory perception is not final. What God is saying is what is final. [60:44] And so you repeat what God is saying in spite of your condition. You keep speaking what God is saying. Don't change your confession from what God has said to what they are saying. [60:57] Most of us, we always say what is just convenient. What is convenient? It's nice because the exercise, the spiritual discipline it requires to maintain what God is saying sometimes is too high for us. [61:13] But that's where your miracle is waiting for you. That's where your breakthrough is waiting for you. Ordinary people, ordinary people like you and I getting it done. [61:26] Why not you? You can't get it done. They just shall live by faith. So by faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. [61:38] So the things that do appear were not made of things which were visible. So you don't have to wait for it to be visible. Just keep speaking it, they will appear. [61:50] I said, keep speaking it, it will appear. Keep speaking it, listen, speak your health into being. Speak your good marriage into being. Speak your financial peace into being. [62:02] Speak your prosperity into being. Speak your healthy children into being. Speak your children's excellence into being. Speak your children's being straight and not troublesome and bother. [62:15] Speak it into being. Not being wayward. Speak it into being. I said, speak it into being. You are a result of the things you have been saying or some people have been saying about you. [62:26] And the better, the earlier you start speaking on your behalf and speaking what God has said concerning your life, the better. The earlier you start, the better. The more you wait, time is not waiting for you. [62:37] and the enemy is getting more, gaining more ground. When you speak, you are retrieving ground from him before you take extra ground. So why do you let him take more ground? Because you have to recover all those ground later. [62:51] But if he hasn't taken any ground, you don't recover, you just take more. Speak the word. Speak the word. [63:01] Finally, in Mark chapter 11, that's where faith works. Mark 11, it's a text you know already. Mark chapter 11, verse 22, 23, and 24. [63:19] So Jesus, so Jesus answered and said to them, what did he say? I can't hear you. I believe you can shout it louder. [63:32] I believe you can come in here. 2016 and the years ahead, what are you going to do? [63:43] I believe you can come in here. Hallelujah. This issue concerning your property, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your health, what are you going to do? [63:58] This issue concerning your marriage, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your husband, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your wife, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your business, what are you going to do? [64:11] This issue concerning your education, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your children, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your neighbors, what are you going to do? This issue concerning your house, what are you going to do this issue concerning your projects what are you going to do Move to the people and tell them, I have faith in God. [65:00] Just speak it out. Tell somebody, I have faith in God. I have faith in God. I have faith in God. I have faith in God. [65:12] Sit down, sit down. I have faith in God. I have faith in God. Yes. The just shall live by his faith. Why? [65:23] Why are you so worried? Why are you so fearful? Why? Have faith in God. Have faith in God. [65:33] The story has just started. It hasn't gotten anywhere. Why have you concluded in the negative? Why? Why? Tell me. What is your reason? [65:44] What is your justification? Why? Why? But I thought you said you are a Christian. Faith matters so much in Christianity. It's called the faith. It's a title chapter 1 verse 4. [65:55] It said, My beloved son in our common faith. Titus, a true son in our common faith. It's a faith. Christianity is faith. [66:08] It's faith. You are allowed circumstances. It's because of mis-education and misinformation and disinformation. [66:19] Circumstances have bullied you. You are settling for things that have got nothing to do with your future. They have got nothing whatsoever to do with your future. [66:30] And you have opened the gates and embracing it and endorsing it and living like that. Living like that. So it takes away the peace in life because you are living like something else. [66:48] How? Why would you want to live underwater? Why? Why? It will shorten your lifespan. Why? Why? Because you are not meant to live there. [66:59] Are you listening to me, somebody? You are not meant to live there. So if you change where you live, it's going to affect you. And the devil is trying to convince you through your friends, through your loved ones, through your education, through your background, through the things you call normal, the things you call normal, the things you are so much afraid of. [67:20] The devil is trying to push it, advertise it, pay any amount of money to push it for you to accept it. And now, your life is like something that is out of hand. [67:32] You can't just define where you are going. You can't define your life because it looks like that. I don't even know who I am anymore. The devil is the life. Have faith in God. [67:43] Because, because, because it is written of you in the book. Your name is in the book. I'm in the book. I'm in the book. [67:56] Someone say, I'm in the book. Someone say, I'm in the book. Pastor, what is not good is in future. Years later, years later, some of us, some people, not you, they're on their death bed. [68:11] They'll find out how much they've wasted because there's so much going for them, but they chose the other route. They chose the other route, which is actually abnormal for their future. [68:25] But because they are running like everybody runs. The very day you begin to compare yourself with others, Bible says that you are no wise. [68:37] Right. Wow. The very moment you begin to compare your future with others, compare your story with others, you are beginning to lose out. Hey. You are beginning to lose out. [68:48] As soon as I begin to compare myself with this gentleman, I'm beginning to lose out. Or this gentleman. Say, I'm beginning to lose out once I compare myself to you. Do you know why? I'm not you. [68:59] I can't be using the kind of comb you use. I can't. I can't. [69:09] We may go to the shopping center. I have to focus on the kind of comb that will work for me. You can buy your own. It's too late. Look at this gentleman. He has waves in his hair. [69:22] Waves. If you compare him to this other brother, his wave is on the skin itself. [69:33] The skin. The skin is waving. The skin is. By Bernard's own. He's waving. You understand that? [69:47] I normally, it's because of the first seminar and I can't be bothered. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just let my hair to grow. Normally, it don't grow this way because as soon as it begins to grow, it looks very interestingly strange. [70:02] But I can't be bothered. I can't compare myself to you. Yeah. How many of you ladies have realized that the makeup that is working for others don't work for you? [70:14] That's why there are so many brands. That's why there are so many brands. Yeah. Everybody's talking about Medicaid, Medicaid. You want to try it, you look like a monster. Your face looks like water painting, water painting, water painting. [70:30] Everybody's talking about MAC. MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC. You look at, which one do you use now? Oh, Mary Kay. Mary Kay. So you look at her, her face is like gold. [70:43] Goldy face. And you go and try Mary Kay. And you, you, children see you and they ask you, mommy. Mommy. Mommy. They say, no. [70:55] They say, no, you're at the door. You go and knock your neighbor's door. They're coming to open. The justice, you're at the door. Everybody has what his life has been cut out to be. [71:14] Yeah. And your story is your story. Your story is your story. Never make the mistake to think that because it didn't work for somebody, it will not work for you. [71:28] Not unless you didn't see it in it. So get yourself busy. Get the scroll. The scroll has been opened by the lion of the tribe of Judah. Get to him. [71:41] He will show you. He will be shocked. What is written about you here? Everything. Everything. I'm going to read the Bible. I'm going to find it. It's because the scroll has been not, you have not accessed the scroll by the Holy Spirit. [71:54] Everything. So are you trying to tell me if I'm going to interview? Where I sit? Which bus I sit? I'll find it in the Bible. In the Bible? Yes. So long as you are concerned, search the scriptures, you'll find it. [72:09] Bus 28 or bus 50. I don't know. It's your life. See, you have based your life on the statistics, the normal routes. You are looking for bus 28 in the Bible. Who told you where there's a bus 28? [72:22] What you need is a bus. Or maybe a plane. Or maybe a bike. So when you start looking for yourself, you'll find out that you are supposed to move from A to B. [72:34] And then you'll find out again that it says that whatever you have to do, do it quickly. So then if it is a motorbike that will get you quickly, or a bicycle, or a car, a cab, a train, then you have to do it quickly. [72:48] So don't be looking for what everybody does. Don't fit into the world system. I don't know why you haven't written a book. [73:04] I don't know why you haven't written a song. But you know it's in your system. It's in your system. I don't know why you haven't written a class system. [73:16] You know it's in your system. You know it's in your system. I don't know why you still have credit cards. You know it's in your system. [73:30] Somebody said it's a virus. Somebody said that it's a virus. You have introduced a virus into your system. So your whole financial system is not according to what is written. [73:42] according to what has been dictated by others. Speak the word. It says that truly I have faith in God. [73:55] Then it said, Assuredly I say unto you, Whoever. Say whoever. [74:07] Who is he talking about then? Now, some people will say, But no, this didn't really mean you. For God so loved the world, That he gave his only begotten son. [74:18] That was? The same thing, whosoever. Okay? So if that whosoever refers, Referring to you, You qualify, Then this one too qualifies. What makes you think that whosoever is you? [74:29] But this one is not me. Whosoever there is, If whosoever there refers to me, Then this whosoever also refers to me. If I can be saved, Then that means this one too, I can have it. [74:42] Whosoever says to this mountain, Be removed, And be cast into the sea. You see, The problem is, Can I tell you this? That's the problem of some of these people who say, I read the Bible, And then, The Bible doesn't make sense. [74:56] Because you are not sensible enough. If you tell me the Bible doesn't make sense, You are actually not sensible. I will explain it. [75:08] You read this text, And it says that whoever moves, Can I say to this mountain? So you are going to look for a mountain, To say to it? It tells me that there is something wrong with your, Excuse me, For what? [75:20] For what? Where? She is going to the sea? For what? For you to take the land? For what? What has that got to do? The mountain of other, What has that got to do with your life? [75:32] Oh no, Okay, Then why did they say mountain? If you can move mountain there, What can't you move? So wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Why don't you use that to move that sorry problem from your family? [75:43] And you are looking for a mountain, With all these problems in your family, With all these problems in your marriage, With all these problems in your health, You are looking for a mountain, Which were the mountains? [76:00] The mountains in your home. Which were the mountains? Now you get what I'm saying? And so we get all wound up about rubbish. Did he really mean a mountain? [76:12] Or he says, If you have faith, You can move. So why don't you move anything that needs to be moved? Now watch this. Tell me why I should go somewhere moving mountains. If not for unnecessary pediatric projections. [76:28] You know, When I was a boy, Anytime in Ghana, We had a lot of, I think they still have a lot of potholes. And when you are a boy, You enjoy when the car enters the pothole. [76:38] So I've heard, I mean, When I grow and I'm driving every pothole, I'll go into it. And just be having fun. Some of you had all those kind of ideas, That when you grow up, You're old. [76:53] That's what you, Because you like babies, You give birth to about 20. After number two, You say, That's it. Now that you are old. Some of you have these ideas, That when you finish school, You start working, They pay you. [77:06] Every weekend, You go and sit in the ice cream bar, And just eat ice cream, Eat ice cream, Eat ice cream. Mommy will see, Mommy didn't want to give me the ice cream, I'll buy my own ice cream. It's childish pediatric projections. [77:21] So why would I, Watch this, Why would I want to, I'm looking for Mount Afajato, Or Mount Kibnamadjaru, Or Mount Everest, Or, Mount Everest, Or, Mount Everest, Mount Everest, Mount Everest somewhere, And go and say, Okay, Now let's see, What he says, He says, Mount Everest, Move, Mount Everest, Move, Mount Everest, They have to come and capture you, And put you on YouTube, Look at the look, I've said to you, Mount Everest, Mount Everest, Move, And I say, You go and call it right now, It's not working. [78:01] It's not working because, Anyone who oppresses by faith, Never gets to a place where he said, It didn't work. Because if it's a genuine faith, You, The Bible says, They died by faith, Having not received, Because they know they have already seen it. [78:14] They have already seen it, And it actually comes to pass, Because it is there. Whoever says to this mountain, So the point I'm trying to make is, That, My neighbor is so unwell, The doctor said, Maybe they may have to, Amputate her, Because she's so unwell, And she's, One neighbor who is a good person, So she has become a concern for me, I can use my faith, Believe God, That I'm praying for her, To be healed. [78:45] Is that not a better thing, Than going to look for a mountain somewhere? Are you David Copperman? Even that, Some of the things you get, There's no sense. If you're really serious in life, There are some, Some things you will not stand watching. [78:58] In Ghana, On the roadside, You can just stand there, And do this, And do this, And everybody will congregate around you, And start watching. You will have a big crowd, People will gather, They will be watching you, People will stop doing, Whatever they are doing, And watch you, And, The closest I saw, Is when we went to Birmingham, Birmingham, The city center, People have time, So they come, And then, This guy has sat up, And then people will gather, Be watching them, And listening, London, None of us has time, You see something, That's a fool, You just go your way, You are catching a train, You are catching a bus, You are very busy going, Alright, That's how life is, But if you don't have anything doing, You want to stand, And watch others, Get yourself busy, Instead of looking for, Spectacular something to do, Okay, You know, By faith, Okay, That lady, [79:58] I don't like her at work, So you are sitting, Behind your desk, And you are, You blow, For her week to fly out, You know what, She is sitting, About 10 meters away from you, You see, And you want to use your faith, For that kind of crap, That is teenage, Sabrina, The teenage witch, That is what is, Affecting many people, They have been watching, All kinds of strange things, Harry Potter, Harry devil, Harry this, Watching all kinds of things, So when we talk about faith, You think it's about mysticism, Mysticism, Okay, Let me do something, Let me do something, This guy, As I sit, At the interview, If he is going to say, Something negative, If he can't say, He will cough, That's witchcraft, That's witchcraft, That's not faith, Is someone getting, What I'm saying, So he said, If you have faith, As verily I say, As surely I say, Whosoever, Shall say, Say say, Say say, Say, [80:59] That's where I start, Whosoever shall say, To this mountain, Be that removed, And be cast into the sea, And does not doubt, In his heart, But believe that, Those things that, Those things he says, Will be done, He will have, Whatsoever, He says, So what you have, Is predicated, On what you are saying, Because we understand, That the words were framed, By words, God said, God said, God said, Don't stop the saying process, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Sir, Don't stop the saying process, Before you attempt doing something, Start saying it, Amen, Start saying it, Ahead of time, And look for a scriptural reason, Why you should say it, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, And connect your heart to it, And just say it, And just say it, And just, this year and this coming year from tomorrow from the next day keep saying keep saying from tonight start saying start saying start saying start saying start saying say what you know god has said about you somebody who believe lift up your hand and shout i am blessed you will never be stranded another day in your life you will never be stranded another day in your life you will never be humiliated another day in your life you will never be disgraced another day in your life you will never be disgraced on a day in 2016. [82:52] You will not be put to shame. One day, one hour, in 2016. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. [83:12] Your ministry will not be stranded anymore. Hey, hey. Your ministry will not be buried. Your ministry will not be buried. Your ministry is thriving. [83:24] Your ministry is rising. You are doing well. Your business is doing well. Your career is doing well. Your family is doing well. [83:35] I see it happening for you. I see it happening for you. In the name of Jesus. Yes. Yes. [83:50] Thank you. The wells. [84:03] Hey. Hey. Hear this. Hey. the words were framed by the word of God. He didn't tell us who spoke it. [84:14] He said the word framed it. The word framed it. Take the word and frame your ear. Did you hear that? [84:26] Take the word and frame your health. Take the word and frame your marriage. Take the word and frame your future. Take the word and frame your children's future. Please frame your children's future. [84:39] Frame your family's future. Frame your marital future. Frame your future with the word. Frame me brother. [84:50] As you watch me, I tell you. Frame your world with the word. Don't be afraid. Speak the word. Speak the word. [85:01] Speak the word. Speak the word. Frame your world. [85:12] Frame your world. He said, fear, be not afraid. Only believe. and your child, your daughter will be well. [85:28] He said, shall live again. They said, Jairus, he's dead. Luke 8, 50. He said, fear not, don't be afraid. [85:40] Only believe. and your child. Do not be afraid. Only believe. And she will be well. She will be made well. They're dead person. They're dead person. [85:51] Didn't I tell you, if you have faith, you can say to this mountain, say it. Start speaking. So, when they told Jairus, Jesus also spoke. [86:04] He spoke. When Jesus heard, he answered, say it. He said it. Satan came to him. Satan came with talking. He just spoke back about what is written about him. [86:16] It is written. It is written. It is written. It is written. And Satan, leave him alone. Say it. I am blessed. Don't feel sorry for yourself. [86:27] Don't feel sorry for yourself. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Even, even, when, you are limping. [86:49] Even when, our hope, is gone. No. Say, what God told you. Say what God has said. Very soon, it will frame back your will. [87:03] Very soon, it will not just restore what has lost, but it is actually going to give you the original thing you have always wanted. Your husband has left home. [87:16] And so what? Speak the word. Speak the word. Speak the word. He is coming back. He is coming back. Your child has left home. [87:28] Speak the word. She is coming back. He is coming back. He is coming back. He is coming back. He is coming back. He is coming back. I don't know what I have done against my boss. [87:40] He doesn't just like me. He wants me to leave the company. Speak the word. God is going to visit him. He will not be able to sleep that night. He will wake up and say, what can I do for you? [87:51] Speak the word. Speak the word. Speak the word. Put your confidence in the word. Don't lose your confidence. Don't lose your confidence in God's word. [88:02] For you have need of patience. That after you have done the will of God, you obtain the promise. The promise is waiting for unobtainment. [88:14] The promise is waiting for manifestation. But you spoke it yesterday. Why did you stop saying it today? Why did you stop saying it today? Listen. [88:28] It's one more day to the end of the year. Normally, I will wait when the year starts before I mention the theme of the year and the scripture. But let me let you know. [88:39] Because the year has started already. The scripture, as I said a few days ago, the scripture for 2016 is Acts 19, 20. Acts 19, 20. [88:52] Acts 19. So the word of the Lord grew mightily and pure. Hey! Hey! Hey! [89:03] The word will prevail! The word will prevail! The word will prevail! The word will prevail! I believe! [89:16] Make sure you always have the word on your mouth. Word on your lips. Make sure you always have the work to speak. It doesn't matter the condition. Make sure you pull out the word. [89:28] Whatever you see, if you don't like it, pull out the word. Whatever you hear, if you don't like it, pull out the word. Whatever they tell you, if you don't like it, pull out the word. [89:38] Speak the word! Speak the word! Speak the word. So the word of God build mighty and prevail. [89:59] Grow the word. What do you do? I'm a word grower. What do I do in the morning? I'm growing some word. Read it. [90:09] Because you are not sorry. Because the scroll, we have found someone who is worthy to open the scroll and to read it. [90:21] Writings all over. And the scripture cannot be broken. All you need is to find yourself by opening the broken seal. The seal is broken. [90:32] Find yourself. Read it and speak it out. Every situation, listen, let there never be a condition. Please, don't allow yourself to be found without a word. [90:46] Without a word. I have a word for you. They come and tell you that, do you know what? The whole system has shut down and there's a problem. You say, okay, don't worry. I have a word for you. I have a word for you. [90:58] I have a word. I have a word. When you are not sure which word to speak, just move back a bit into your system. Whilst they're taking you to the hospital, whilst they're taking you to the hospital where that child is, you are speaking in tongues. [91:15] You are going in tongues. Once you are speaking in tongues, once you are going for that interview, you are speaking in tongues. Once you are going for that meeting, you are speaking in tongues. [91:26] Every woman you propose to, she said, no, you are not my type. [91:38] Every woman you propose to, no, you are not my type. Sister, would you marry me? No, you are not my type. Sister, would you marry me? No, you are not my type. Can we meet at Nando's next week and have a chat? [91:50] No problem, let's meet. She was so hopeful. She came and said, sister, the reason why I called for this meeting is, would you marry me? She said, no, you are not my type. Brother, next time you are going to Nando's. [92:01] Go, speak in tongues. Maybe, maybe you have to speak in the word, speak in tongues, and now meet her and tell her. [92:18] The word says, whoever finds a good Wi-Fi has found a good thing and obtains mercy, favor from the Lord. Sister, I'm such and such. [92:28] I believe you are the one. Sister, I've been waiting for it. I will marry you. I will marry you. Sirius! Sirius! Speak the word! [92:44] Homologia! Speak over! Homologia! Speak over! I can't hear you! Homologia! Homologia! Speak over! That is what believers do. [93:04] That's right. That's right. Speak the word. Believers are not just go-tech goers. No. Thank you. The reason why we go to church is to get more words. [93:19] More ammunition. We go and load our magazine. We go and load our chamber with words. With words. If you want to, if you want to bring us to bad news to threaten us, don't do it after church. [93:34] Don't do it. Because we just got freshly loaded. Hey! We just got freshly loaded. What believers do is they speak the word. [93:46] Believers speak the word. Believers speak the word. And as they speak the word, the word of God grows. Mentally and prevails. You speak it, it grows. [93:57] And prevails. You cannot prevail, but the word will... It's not you, it's the word. It's not you, it's the word. It's the word. It's the word. [94:11] Hebrews 1.3. Hebrews 1.3. Who upholds all things by the word of his power. [94:27] Upholding all things. All things. Marriage included. Jobs included. Buying houses included. [94:41] Healing included. Good health included. Family peace included. Healthy children included. Academic success included. [94:55] Social impact included. He said that they are all included. They are all upheld by the word of his power. [95:06] Don't sit down for things to fall apart. When you can speak your word. [95:17] When you are a believer. Don't sit down and feel sorry for yourself. Brother, that's the reason why you are listening to me preach. Don't sit down and feel sorry for yourself. [95:30] Don't sit down and feel sorry for yourself. And begin to feel worried about tomorrow. Why are you worried when you can have access to a word? It is written concerning you. [95:50] Don't sit down and be worried. Don't sit down and feel sorry and lament. Don't sit down and say there is nothing I can do. You can't speak your word. If you don't know what to speak. [96:02] Get the word. Put in a tip. Put in something. Which is telling you about the word. He said the word of faith. Which we preach. It is near you in your mouth. [96:12] It can't work for you if you don't speak it. Get the word first. Somebody must preach the word. For it to enter your heart. And then you can speak the word. And the word will prevail for you. [96:24] You cannot prevail. But the word will prevail. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Ugghiうわ. Tap, tap, tap. [96:37] đấy2 Matrize Stay happy on spirit. [97:00] Zhongshally. Prepare your spirit to speak the word. Welcome to International Prematur and Now Who through faith subdued kingdoms, stopped the mouth of lions, escaped the edge of salt, quenched the violence of fire, who through faith. [97:47] Do you know why they call you for an interview? They want to know what you have got to say. That's why you can't win an election if you don't speak. [98:00] People must be hearing you speak. Hearing you speak, they hear you speak. As they hear you speak, you make a case. Because we live in a world that is word-operated. Everything is words. [98:14] The scroll is full of words to read. But some words are coded and hidden. Words. Can you come for an interview tomorrow morning? [98:24] Yes, why not? You go. They speak to you. And most of the time, they don't ask you questions, academic questions. Most of the time, they just see what you are made up of. The stuff. As you open your mouth and speak, they are listening to you. [98:37] Everybody is listening to you. You want to make a case to the UN, you got to go and speak. You win cases at the court by speaking. If you can't speak for yourself, find someone who is trained to speak. [98:52] But in the realm of the spirit, it's not about training. It's about the confidence, the faith in your heart. So with the faith in your heart, you don't have to be trained. You just have to speak out. [99:03] And you begin to shake things. The word begins to come to prevail. I like the word. Pastor David Oedipo, how he said it. He said that everywhere you go, pray to my faith, everywhere you go, you overwhelm challenges. [99:16] You overwhelm situations. You show up suddenly. They are paralyzed. Because you come with such force. The force of the word. The force of the word. [99:29] From today, you are forbidden from speaking anything God hasn't said. You are forbidden. [99:41] Don't just be speaking. Can you imagine how Jesus put it? I think in Matthew chapter 12, verse 36, I suppose it's somewhere there. He said that for you shall be brought to account on every idle word that you utter. [99:56] Because words are powerful. I say to you that every idle word may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. You are not permitted to say anything at all. [100:11] Look out for what you find out written about you. Speak it. Speak it. Never be found saying something different. Keep saying I am well. [100:23] Keep saying I am blessed. Keep saying I am the head and not the thing. Keep saying I am winning. Keep saying I am winning. I am thriving. I am moving forward. I am breaking through. Keep saying it. [100:35] Keep saying I am a soul winner. Keep saying it. I am a prayer warrior. Keep saying it. I am a praiser. I praise God. Keep saying it. Keep saying it. I am on time. [100:45] I am always on time. I am not late. I am on time. Keep saying it. The breakthrough is mine. Keep saying, I'm getting married. Keep saying, where is your husband? I don't care. I said, I'm getting married. I said, I'm getting married. [100:59] Why are you asking me? Have you ever seen anybody born together with your husband before? So why are you asking me, where is my husband? I said, I'm getting married. Ask anyone who is married if they were born with your husband. So if I'm getting married, why are you asking me about husband? [101:12] I'm asking you to see the husband. So when I'm married, you'll see the husband. Don't ask me. I don't have a husband now. Because I'm not yet married. That's why I'm saying, I'm getting married. But you must have someone. [101:22] Who told you, you must always have someone before you end up married? By the time you are ready to marry, he is there. Having to see people who said, we have known each other for five years, ten years, twenty years. [101:37] We were just new each other. We are neighbors. We never knew that we were going to get married. And after ten years, twenty years, they get married. So why are you worried about? Where is the man? [101:47] Or where is the woman? You don't need to see a woman before you know I'm getting married. Watch it. Watch this. So what makes you think I'm getting married? What makes you think I'm not getting married? But I've been observing you. [101:59] There's nobody in your life. What about what? Must I be born with that person? I don't have to be born with that person. What makes them think that the house they live in, that's where they are going to die. [102:14] They will move homes very soon. But where are they going? Do they know where they are going to go? They don't know. Do they know the school their child is going to attend in teacher? They don't know. So why are they asking about your husband? But they know their children will go to school. [102:29] They may target the school, but it doesn't mean that's where you go. There are many children whose parents wish they are going to Cambridge. Did they go? So what's the problem? Are you going to save a car? You have not secured a space in Cambridge. [102:40] You won't give birth. What's the problem? Homologia. Speak over. Homologia. Speak over. I said homologia. [102:51] Speak over. The word is already provided what is there. You have to speak it for it to manifest. And you don't just speak it. [103:03] Speak it by faith. But putting your confidence in knowing that God's word is true. Whatsoever he has said. The Bible says that Abraham, he didn't waver at the promise of God. [103:16] Knowing that in Romans chapter 4, verse 21, he didn't waver at the promise of God. He didn't waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory. Verse 21, it says that, and being fully confident that what he had promised, he was also able to perform. [103:31] That's the bit you must stay in. Stay there. Stay there. Don't leave that place. Stay there. He didn't ramble. He didn't trust the God tell you, stay there. I'll come back for you. [103:41] Why did you leave? Why did you leave? Now you have made a thing complicated. They've got you back. He told you, stay there. I've surveilled the area. This is the safest place. Just stay there. [103:52] Don't leave. I'll come back. Hallelujah. Yeah. God said, I'll do it. Stay there in the promise. Stay there. Keep your eye on the promise. Keep your eye. [104:04] He said that, go. Go. Matthew chapter 8 verse 13. When the man spoke to Jesus, Jesus was surprised at the man's confidence. [104:15] Jesus said to him, go your way. As you have believed, so let it be done. And his servant was healed the same hour. Stay there. Don't change your confession. [104:28] Don't change what you are saying. I didn't get time to tell you about profession and confession. Profession is like your job. But it's the same word. Profession of faith. The same thing. [104:39] Homologia means profession. Are you a professional? Yes, I am. What do you do? I speak the word of God. I'm a word professional. [104:50] So profession. It's profession of faith. Profession means that you are confessing it to what you have said. And you are living it. Your behavior is tied to what you are saying. [105:02] You are not saying one thing and behaving something else. Your behavior is tied to what you are saying. Sometimes they don't hear you. They look at you. They know what you are saying. They know what you are saying. Speak the word. [105:13] Be a professional. Profess the word. Be a professor of the word. When we talk about someone being a professor. You are a professor of the word. This year. [105:25] The year coming. That's how we are going to do it. Pastor. We are going to overwhelm the year. Hands down. With exploits. [105:38] With global exploits. Amazing testimonies. Financial exploits. Morital breakthroughs. Public exploits. Say hallelujah. [105:49] Hallelujah. Bringing souls all over. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Opening branches all over. Buying buildings. Paying them off. Buying them like that. [106:00] Buying them. Buying them from other churches. Buying them. Salacing the devil. Taking over the media. Speak the word. [106:13] Don't be quiet. Don't be quiet. Don't be quiet. There's a reason why they put that. There's a reason why they put that iron mask on your face so you can speak. [106:23] Take it off. Speak the word. Your world is waiting for your word. That's it. That's it. That's it.
