[0:00] I want to just say something about faith.

[0:20] Last week I said faith comes by hearing. In Habakkuk 2 verse 4 it says that the just shall live by his faith.

[0:33] The just shall live by his faith. Romans chapter 1 verse 17. The just shall live by faith. Galatians 3 verse 11. The just shall live by faith.

[0:45] Hebrews 10 verse 38. The just shall live by faith. Four times repeated in scriptures. Once in the Old Testament. Three solid times in the New Testament.

[0:57] The just shall live by faith. The just shall live by faith. The just shall live. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7 says, For we, we talk, you see what you see, when you read the Bible and come across we and us.

[1:08] It's not all human beings. It's talking about a particular group of people. And it is the redeemed community. Okay. We, the redeemed community. When I say the redeemed community, those who are born again, those who are in Christ, we are the redeemed.

[1:22] Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Those Christ has redeemed. Okay. So the redeemed community, when you come across we, if God be for us, that us is not God be for human beings.

[1:34] But it's if God be for us, those of us in him. For he that is, greater is he that is in us, that he that is in the world. That us is talking about the believers.

[1:45] He says that for we have, he said, for we are seated with Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2, 6, seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. So we, that we are seated with Christ Jesus.

[1:58] We are, he made, actually, he made us, raised us up, and made us to sit together. See, that us and we, he's talking about the redeemed community. Yeah. And now, the redeemed community, he says, is also called the just, shall live by faith.

[2:14] And he says that for we, the redeemed community, we walk by faith, and not by sight. In other words, if you are part of the redeemed, and you start walking by sight, you've already put yourself on the losing end.

[2:31] Because you are not meant, if you walk by sight, it is not going to benefit, you can, you can enjoy the privileges, and the blessings, in the redeemed life.

[2:45] So, faith is not an option. The lifestyle of faith, is a necessity. For most of the time, we say, I'm trying, I'm trying.

[3:04] Someone asked me sometimes, Pastor, please, can you pray for me, so I can really, have a lot of faith. No. Papa said something.

[3:18] He said, when it comes to the fundamentals of life, it takes personal responsibilities. What are the fundamentals of life?

[3:28] Eating. Can you eat for your loved one? Can you be so busy, that you ask someone to use their loo for you? Yeah.

[3:40] You can ask someone to go and use, we on my behalf. You can ask someone to breathe on your behalf. You're so busy, that you ask your wife, can you eat for me, please?

[3:54] When it comes to the fundamentals of life, you, you, listen, you, you, you can't transfer for somebody, or appoint another to do for you, the fundamentals of life.

[4:09] You have to do it for yourself, by yourself. In the same way, your work with God cannot be done for you by your pastor. By your pastor.

[4:23] Your work of faith cannot, Bible says in Habakkuk 4, 2-4, that just shall live by his, not his pastor's faith, his, your, you have your faith.

[4:36] Your faith. How can you receive anything from God without faith? Can we reason a little bit? Yes. Please. How, think about it, how can you receive anything from God without faith?

[4:50] While Jesus said, be it unto you according to your faith. Matthew 9, 29. Your faith, as long as God is concerned, your faith is what determines the outcome of your life in Christ.

[5:09] Salvation is free. He died for us, free of charge. but you can't appropriate it because it doesn't just happen to you.

[5:19] If he died for all of us, free of charge, why is it not all of us are saved? Because somebody must take responsibility and put your faith in his finished work on the cross and choose that I believe and I'm going to live.

[5:32] Can you imagine you became born again? Since you became born again, has it not been your personal responsibility to read your Bible and come to church? We can't do it for you. So, the life, the Christian life comes with a lot of privileges as well as responsibilities.

[5:54] You cannot just have privileges without responsibilities in life. Every privilege goes with their responsibility. The prime minister has a lot of privileges.

[6:06] How many of you have with that? Oh, wonderful privilege. but their responsibility is serious. Serious. Every privilege comes with responsibilities.

[6:18] What makes us think that you can be born again and enjoy the goodness of God without responsibilities? It's not so. The real Christian life comes with responsibilities.

[6:30] But not responsibilities we cannot meet. It comes with responsibilities we can meet. So, Bible says that the just shall live by his faith.

[6:41] No one can have faith for your thriving or for your success. I can pray for you, exercise my faith to believe God for you, but you can't enjoy the way you should enjoy from God without your faith.

[6:56] The just shall live by his faith. and I said that you can't just be there. Okay, now. Okay, okay. Okay, I'm going to have faith. I'll do it.

[7:07] Okay. Okay. How high should I jump? How far? Okay. Okay. Please. It's not motivational speaking. Faith comes by hearing.

[7:21] As long as you expose yourself to hearing some things, faith, you have exposed yourself to receiving faith. Faith comes by hearing. As you are hearing, faith is coming.

[7:34] And you need your faith to thrive in life. You need your faith to break through in life. You need your faith to escape the wickedness from the past, the grim negative impact of your past.

[7:48] You need your faith to be able to sow. When faith comes in, when faith comes in place, God, is in place. In other words, Jesus put it this way, with God, all things are possible.

[8:05] With God. Then he said that all things are possible for the who believes. So if it's possible for God, all things, and the one who believes is possible, that means believing moves you in the class of God.

[8:18] Yes. And it's interesting. Sometimes, you think about, you just read the scriptures and you realize many people who came to Jesus and their faith did it for them.

[8:32] And it is clearly stated to the extent that the Bible says that all these things have been written that you might believe. There's so much that Jesus did which were not written. John chapter 20 verse 30.

[8:44] So much that Jesus did which were not written. But he said, but these have been written that ye might have faith or ye might believe that he is the son of God. But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ.

[8:59] So, the reason why things are written is so that somebody can believe. Because it's your believing that determines what God can do in your life, with your life, and for your life.

[9:11] May I say this to you brothers and sisters? The Bible says that by faith they subdued kingdoms. Hebrews 11 33, by faith they subdued kingdoms.

[9:25] Hebrews 11 33, who through faith subdued kingdoms. You can't subdue the united kingdom. The system that has fought against people with your kind of background.

[9:39] The system that has fought against people like your type. The system that has fought against landliness. You can subdue it by faith.

[9:54] Yeah. By faith. By faith. By faith. By faith. Some of us, listen, don't flow with the norm.

[10:10] Because the norm may not be to your advantage. Don't flow with the norm. Because of these things that you have done in your past. Yes, you have. Yes, you have.

[10:20] But faith can put you on a different platform. That's what I'm talking about. Your faith can crown you a victor. Through who?

[10:32] Through faith. Subdued kingdoms. Wrath righteousness. Wrath righteousness. You are struggling with your righteous behavior. By faith. Wrath righteousness.

[10:44] By faith overcame pornography. By faith overcame fornication. By faith overcame bitterness. By faith overcame self-harm.

[10:55] By faith overcame anger. By faith. By faith. By faith. Wrath righteousness obtain promises. Promises have been given, they obtain by faith.

[11:08] Stop the mouth of lions. By faith. By faith. You can't stop the mouth of that devil that has been, that's raising a gage.

[11:20] You can't stop that mouth. You can't stop it. By faith. By faith. 34. By faith. Quench the violence of fire.

[11:33] They didn't use no water. It's not fire brigade that they use. It's faith. Escape the edge of sword, not through skills and darkening, but by faith they escaped the edge of swords.

[11:49] Out of weakness were made strong, wax valiant in fight, pen to flight the armies of the aliens. Verse 35.

[12:01] Women received their dead rays back to life again. Others were tortured and not accepting deliverance that they might obtain. By faith. This subject of faith will determine your fate.

[12:18] Determine the outcome of your life. They are telling you, they're saying, no, these children are not doing well and boys are, hey, don't, don't entertain.

[12:31] Sometimes, today, what I really want is, you have to speak back. today, I came to challenge somebody, speak, have the audacity, watch this, to speak back to that doctor.

[12:48] But you must have something in you to be able to speak. Have the audacity to speak back to a system.

[13:00] Speak back and don't take no for an answer. The woman didn't mean take Jesus' no for an answer. Jesus said, oh, woman, great is your faith. Matthew 15, verse 28, oh, great is your faith, oh, woman.

[13:13] She didn't take no for an answer. She said, oh, great is thy faith. Because the woman, Jesus said that, I can't, the woman said, please, I need your help. Lord, have mercy on me.

[13:23] My daughter is in trouble, is not well. Jesus didn't mind her. Then she kept persisting. Jesus said, listen, I can't take the children's bread and give it to dogs.

[13:34] The woman said, yeah, that's perfect. However, when the children eat, children will eat and there will always be cramps and their dog eats from the cramps. So, whatever is left, I still will take it.

[13:46] Then Jesus says to the woman and he said to the woman, Jesus answered and said, oh, great is your faith, let it be unto, even as you wilt, that you have desired, the way you have desired, let it be unto, Jesus said it.

[14:00] The woman didn't cave in. Most of your biggest challenge, not challenge, your biggest setback is what you are saying.

[14:12] What you are saying is what is killing you. Until it comes out of your mouth, it can't take hold of you. Until it comes out, never say marriage is hard nowadays to yourself.

[14:28] Bishop. Papa says something. I mean, I had the privilege of being with him, with some few pastors behind closed doors and he was sharing something. He said nowadays, believers, a little thing, a little thing in my leg.

[14:43] I'm going to the doctor, so they have to check it for me. Doctor, what do you think is happening? Ah, okay. Oh, so my leg is, there's probably my leg, it will not heal.

[14:53] I have to leave a medication. Oh, the doctor is saying I have to, now so, I've got my medications, I have to leave on medication. Even before we believe the report of God, before we believe the report of God, we have actually gone to seek what they have to say.

[15:11] I'm not saying I'm going to the doctor, you have to. Well, that this thing, that's why I wanted to talk about this more, it's a spirit of faith. So it's not a mental projection.

[15:24] you psych yourself, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm well, and you are dying, I'm well, you're dying, you're psyching yourself. It's not from your spirit. Faith operates from our spirits.

[15:41] But first of all, it must come. He says, he said, the word of faith which we preach, the word we are preaching is supposed to generate faith in your heart.

[15:58] Lord, help us that you come to church so down, despondent, no hope, and leave church so down, despondent, no hope. No!

[16:09] A word must hit your spirit. And then suddenly, even though you came down, suddenly you realize, oh, oh, oh, look at where I'm going. Suddenly you realize that something has hit your spirit.

[16:22] now, what, oh, Acts, Acts 4, verse 20, see what they said. He said, we cannot do anything but to speak of the things we have seen. He said, we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

[16:40] We can't, we can't. When you see it, you speak it out. When you see, so, when I'm telling you that you have to speak out, you just can't speak.

[16:51] you have to see your future in the scriptures. Scriptures are painting pictures of your future.

[17:07] The scriptures which, so, our job is that when we come to church, everybody must pray that, Lord, Psalm 119, verse 18, oh, cannabis shakataia.

[17:19] he said, open my eyes that I will see. Behold, what draws things from that way. I need to see it because if I can see it, I'll believe it. You can doubt what you see.

[17:35] And once you see it, you automatically believe. What's this? What's this? Can you doubt it? You can doubt. We don't have to convince you that this is a Bible.

[17:47] You have actually seen it. So when you see if you can see it, you automatically believe. And when you believe, it becomes your experience.

[18:00] So the job of preaching is to be able to open your eyes that you will be able to see by revelation what the word of God says about your situation.

[18:14] Please don't be a victim of constant. Pray for me. Pray for me. Pray for me. Pray for me. You must have a heart. Show me the scriptures. Show me my future in the scriptures.

[18:29] I'm happy to announce to you that everybody listening to me, there is a future for you in the scriptures. That is why I can tell you, fear not only because there is a future in the scriptures for you.

[18:46] don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid because if God be for us, can't that battle.

[18:59] If God be for us, if God be for us, if God be for us, if God be for us, don't be afraid.

[19:11] don't be afraid. Determine the outcome by your faith in God. Don't be afraid. Don't be worried about your children.

[19:23] Don't be worried about your future. Don't be worried about your family. Don't be worried about your wife. Don't be worried about your husband. And may I tell you, don't be worried about your health.

[19:37] Bible says that he himself took. You can hear it, but if you don't see it, you live in the other way. Matthew chapter 8 verse 17.

[19:49] He said, he himself took. That was spoken by Isaiah the prophet. He himself took. That sickness, Jesus took it.

[20:03] He says that he died to save you. Who blessed the Lord of my soul and all that was someone who forgives all your indiquities and what?

[20:20] Forgiveness. If he can forgive you, if you have accepted forgiveness of sins, why can't you accept the healing? Because it's two in one package.

[20:34] If forgiveness works, then healing must work. believe God.

[20:49] Believe God. Believe God. I'm trying to lift somebody up to a different platform of operation. person. Yes.

[21:01] As for the negative things, you may see. Family issues, you may see. But God, your eyes must be open to also see what God and when you see it, you automatically speak it.

[21:20] when you speak it, you have it. Listen up. He said, have faith, Mark chapter 11, verse 22.

[21:32] Have faith in God. Tell somebody, have faith in God. Tell somebody, have faith in God. Have faith in God. Come on.

[21:44] Have faith, hey, have faith in God, okay? Have faith in God. Have faith in God.

[21:55] They woke Jesus up from the middle of his sleep. Why would he be sleeping in a storm? Because he was living in a realm of rest. He said, you have to believe.

[22:08] When you believe, you believe into rest. You believe and enter rest. He was living in a realm of rest. So, all the on a pillow.

[22:32] And they came to him and said, Master, don't you care that we perish? See, the situation they were in was very precarious. Very dangerous situation.

[22:43] how can someone be sleeping in such a situation? He wasn't just sleeping, he was resting on a pillow. You know, sometimes you can't sleep in all kinds of places, especially when you are traveling, you are tired.

[22:56] But when you have actually gotten the pillow and you have rested, yeah, yeah. He was sleeping on a pillow and they said, excuse me, we are perishing.

[23:11] Do you know why he was resting on the pillow? Because before they took the journey, he told them we are going to the other side. So, as long as he's concerned, they're already at the other side. So, he was resting. In spite of what is happening, they are already there.

[23:22] I'm telling you, in spite of what is happening, you are already there. You are already there. You are already there. You are already there. You are already there. Shout hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus.

[23:41] The scriptures say in Isaiah chapter 5 verse 13. That's a very strong scripture, Isaiah 5 verse 13. It says that, thank you, Jesus.

[23:52] Therefore, my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. Do you see that? What you don't know, it's what is killing you. It's what is killing you.

[24:07] because they have no knowledge. And their honorable men are famished. And their multitudes dry up with thirst. Isaiah chapter 4 verse 6.

[24:21] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. What Satan is using or is cashing in on what you don't know from the word of God, he's using it against you.

[24:39] He's using it against you. So he only shows you the negative features around you. Show you, you see? You see?

[24:50] You see? You see? You see? You see? You see? And when you come to God, God can't help you until the word, the scriptures are open to you and you see yourself.

[25:03] Ah! So is that me? Is that me? Wow! So you begin to rejoice before it even shows up. Because you have seen it, you can't doubt it.

[25:20] So the word comes. Bible says that in Isaiah chapter 2 verse 1 said, the word of the Lord, the word that Isaiah the son of Ammon saw.

[25:32] What did he do? He saw the word. He saw the word. That's why the psalmist said, open down my eyes that I might behold wondrous things from the scriptures.

[25:51] Besides born again, the greatest blessing, the greatest blessing is revelation. The things that you begin to discover in God, that God has prepared.

[26:05] That's why the apostle said, we cannot but to speak what we have seen. What you see, it becomes a problem now. You have seen it.

[26:17] Who can talk you out of it? Most of us just hear, okay, okay, okay, and we have been so trained naturally to just operate with our minds.

[26:32] So, even when the word is coming, we are receiving it with our minds. With our minds. Your freedom and your deliverance is in the word.

[26:47] What word have you got to operate your life by? Most of us have, naturally, we go to school, we are educatarian, you use your minds to analyze everything and okay, and so, any situation in your life, you have to process it first with your mind and make a decision based on what your mind can understand.

[27:11] But, faith is of the spirit. so, you have to, as the word of God comes, it begins to do something. The Bible says that for this reason, I pray, I did not see Ephesians chapter 1 verse 16 that was, did not make mention of it, praying that the God Father of our Lord will give you, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, that the Father of glory may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge.

[27:37] It's a spiritual thing. It's a spiritual thing. Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge. as you are knowing, there is a revelation in wisdom that you can know, you can receive as you are knowing.

[27:52] So, pray for that. Listen, you will be stranded or grounded without your faith. They're just shalé.

[28:06] You will be stranded without faith. So, whatever it takes to make sure faith is coming, you have to let it come. And I'm telling you, the word of God that we receive is not just about only hearing, but as you are hearing your eyes, your inner eyes, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[28:27] The Bible said the spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God. You see it, you buy into it, see it. Papa said God, there was a time his wife was, health was challenged.

[28:42] He told the wife, don't engage your mind, exercise your spirit. Because the fear is in your mind. You are ahead of, and in my own years, I had too many testimonies.

[28:56] Some of the testimonies was, there's a woman, they said her womb is destroyed. The doctor said that you can never get pregnant, forget it, it can't happen. And several years, somebody came there, 26 years of marriage, had a child.

[29:10] After 26 years of waiting and trying, but they said we held on to the word. We saw that this will happen. We saw they held on to the word. Different for somebody who doctor said you can never have a child had one grouplets.

[29:24] Four. Four. People, I mean, different, different, different, some people were told you are going to die, you are going to die.

[29:37] A friend of mine said something, he's a medical doctor, he said doctors have been trained to see problems. So, I feel something here.

[29:51] Doctor, can you check me? I'm not saying don't go to the doctors, but first I want to say, pastor, we should go to the, no, I didn't say that.

[30:10] I started by saying something earlier, that it is not unspiritual to be challenged, but it is unscriptural to be defeated.

[30:20] find yourself in the scriptures and enforce by faith your victory. What you say will be what you have.

[30:35] What you say will be what you have. You can enforce what the scriptures say. You can be 39 years old and still get your time. that is the biblical reality.

[30:52] The biblical reality, you can get it. It's within reach if you can see it. It's within reach. Some of you, your age is far advanced, but the biggest of your privileges are actually ahead of you.

[31:07] That's why the word of God is coming to you. Your biggest privileges are ahead of you. you can be married and have a good marriage.

[31:19] A smooth, hitch-free marriage. Yeah. In spite of what's in your past. Create a new future.

[31:35] Create, paint a new future. Get into the scriptures. Find yourself. See yourself inside. When you see yourself inside, automatically you believe it and then you begin to speak it and as you speak it, you are creating it.

[31:51] So, some of us use words recklessly. I mean, it's a natural culture, society, we just use words. What's the meaning of oh gosh? My gosh. Nonsense.

[32:04] What's the meaning of gosh? Oh gosh. Check the sound. what's the meaning of that? You have to be intentional with what comes out of your mouth.

[32:19] You have to be intentional because what is coming out of your mouth is creating your future. Wow. Yes, yes, yes, yes. in Proverbs 18. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

[32:35] What does verse 21 say? Does it? Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Do you know why your situation is not any better?

[32:46] What you have been saying. What you have been saying. What you have been saying. Every time, I'm stressed, I'm stressed, I'm not happy, I'm stressed.

[32:58] Shut up! Shut up! Say something better. Bible said, let the redeemed of the Lord say so. He said, we believe, therefore we speak.

[33:13] 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13. Stop saying the things you don't want to see. Stop saying it. It's not everything that should come out of your mouth a believer.

[33:29] It's not everything that should come out of your mouth. Some of us have to say the things you can say about your children. That's why this my child is so useless. You are the biggest problem of your child's future.

[33:43] You have created your future with your careless talk. life and death and life lie in the power of the tongue.

[33:55] What you are saying is what is happening. You haven't realized it. Tell somebody, watch what you say. Finally, let me quote this scripture and I stop.

[34:07] In Mark chapter 11, as quoted earlier, verse 22, it said, have faith in God. Then verse 23 says that, verily, verily, I say unto you that whosoever, it didn't say a pastor so, it didn't say if a pastor, it said, whosoever shall say to this mountain, be thou removed and be cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe.

[34:38] Shall do what? Believe. Instead of doubting, believe. but shall believe. What are you supposed to believe? That shall believe that those things which you were not doing the speaking shall come to pass.

[34:55] Do you know what happened? You shall have what you say. Say, I shall have what I say. Say, I shall have what I say. So, in the name of Jesus, I speak into my life.

[35:10] I am blessed. I am doing well. I'm rising up. Against all odds, I speak into my life. I am blessed. I'm rising up.

[35:22] I'm doing well. I'm progressing in every area of my life. In the name of Jesus, Solomon. man. Amen. You, you shall have, not what they say, it's what you are saying.

[35:40] The doctor said it, but you have repeated it. That's why you are having it. The economist said it, that there's financial crashes.

[35:53] Many lives are going to, many homes are going to repossess. And you said it, and that's why you are having it. He never said you shall have what they say.

[36:03] You are responsible for what happens here. Your inability to speak is the most expensive thing in your life.

[36:17] Because you shape your future by what you are saying. By what you are saying. By what you are saying. By what you are saying. And you have to fill your life with the word of God.

[36:28] So that you can speak from your heart the word of God. And as you say it, you shall have whatsoever you say. You shall have whatsoever you say. You shall have whatsoever you say.

[36:40] I know there's crisis at home. But say what you expect.

[36:54] Some people, they are not worth you talking to. And telling them your problems. Why are you saying those things? Just shut up and speak God's word. Nowadays there's trouble.

[37:06] I'm not happy at all. I'm so stressed. I can't believe a normal human being will say, oh, this thing is killing me. I mean, how can you be in love so much?

[37:18] Girl, you'll kill me. Please. Please. don't say that.

[37:29] Oh, please. Even in the excited world with your wife, don't say, girl, you're killing me. don't say that. Say, girl, you're blessing me.

[37:42] Girl, you're blessing me. Girl, you're blessing me. Girl, you're amazing. You're too good. My husband, you're blessing me. My husband, you're blessing me. You're the best thing that ever happened to my life.

[37:55] You're the best thing that ever happened to me. You just spoke to the victory and the victory we did. You can't speak into your children.

[38:07] Speak over the child. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the best. Yeah, you had her through regrets. You had him through regrets. But, you know, speak. Speak.

[38:20] And the biggest issue here, too, is that your health. I'm beginning to realize a lot of people are sick because of what they are saying. Excuse me.

[38:32] This is not, I'm not talking about common sense. I'm talking about spiritual things. Because the God of this world has blinded, 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 4, has blinded the minds of unbelievers.

[38:47] God of this world is the devil, not Jesus. He has blinded, so they will not even see. So, the reason why unbelievers talk the way they talk, don't they? In fact, sometimes when the pastor is teaching, sometimes he's careful.

[38:59] Because if those people say, now he's saying this, now he's saying this, but I owe you the responsibility of teaching you what God's word is saying, and speak it, and see it. And as we speak it, there are people here, within the next two weeks, you are coming back with a testimony.

[39:16] You're coming back with a testimony. You're coming back with a testimony. I heard the story, Bishop said the wife was pregnant and was due labor, and then I think they went to the hospital and they said they have to do a secession because the baby is breached.

[39:33] So I think years ago, he said, what? The baby is breached. And he was going somewhere to preach also. He said, he said, baby, ten. He said, he said it in Nigeria, ten.

[39:48] And then he went. After he left, a few minutes or within an hour, he said, the baby has tened. That's why who you will listen to matters.

[40:03] The same thing happened. Bishop when the wife was pregnant with her child, I think first child or so, the wife, one day came from work, the wife said she was bleeding. He said, I started bleeding.

[40:15] He said, why? He said, I've seen blood. He said, give me my food. You are not pregnant with blood. It's a human being. So the fact that you are bleeding doesn't mean the baby has come to pass. And I heard that. Our sister, she got pregnant, her first child.

[40:27] In fact, there was a time she was bleeding so much, cloth came out. But I have seen how God works so much. I have seen how I have seen, Bishop, allow me to quote Papa.

[40:49] He said, a closed mouth equals to a closed destiny. mouth was given to you not for food, just for food.

[41:02] The first assignment God gave man, when he created man, he brought animals, he said, call them anything. And he said, whatever Adam said became so. It's worse. How did God create?

[41:14] God said, God said, God said, God said, and then God saw what he said. And so he put that in man so that if you say and keep saying, keep saying, you'll just see what you say.

[41:24] That's why he said, if you can have faith and say, you shall be moved, you shall have whatsoever you say because life responds to speech. Testimonies and success and blessings are voice activated.

[41:43] It responds to what you're saying. It responds to what you're saying. I went to her house. I remember one of her sisters. I went to her house. I went to her house and she was bleeding.

[41:55] The way the thing was, it was very, in the normal mind you know that the baby has been lost. But I told her, you are not pregnant with blood. You are pregnant. So even though you've seen black cloth, you've seen blood, you've been bleeding for about one week or so, this baby stays.

[42:10] You have it. The child is there. These things are not stories. Just that most of us have not dared to walk in that realm. that's why you're not seeing it.

[42:22] You have been dead. You have been dead to walk in that realm. You have no dead. My wife, one year, ten years, three years, four years, no child after we got married. First year, second year, third year.

[42:33] But all those who have been in this church for long, all those times I said my children are blessed. I didn't say my child, I kept talking about my children. I kept talking about my children. Some of you must go and start doing your shopping for your children.

[42:51] Start preparing for your dream job. And start speaking. But as you are speaking, keep serving God.

[43:01] Keep remaining faithful. Keep remain faithful. Serve God. Stay in faith. Don't change your confession. Believe God. Believe God. Believe God. And I see you entering your wealthy place.

[43:15] All I said, it is well. She held all is well. Held on to the word. Held on to the word.

[43:27] All the negative things that doctors were saying, they came to report a different story. Because she had a word to speak and to hold on to. Jesus woke up from there.

[43:40] From his sleep. Mark 440. he woke up from his sleep and he said, why are you so fearful? That's why I'm asking somebody this morning.

[43:54] Why? Why are you so fearful? Why are you so fearful? What makes you think that this year will end with you in the negative?

[44:06] What makes you think that you will not see the blessing? What makes you think, listen, what makes you think that you have to go through oppression? What makes you think?

[44:19] What makes you think you can't have a child? That one is even an offense. I find it distasteful, offensive to be a believer and think you can't have a child. No.

[44:31] Nowhere in scripture. Nowhere in scripture unless you don't believe the scriptures. Start speaking. Let the doctors say, I've heard too many things and seen too much faithfulness of God.

[44:44] At Kenderland, the things I saw and the things I heard, some of the testimonies were just like, it happened? Really? And it's just simple receiving the word and believing God's word.

[44:57] When the pastor declares, this is me, I receive it. And you leave church with assertive confidence, knowing that I am being confident in this thing, that he who has begun a good word, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall perform it, shall Lord, I believe.

[45:21] Lord, I believe. Why? Why are you so fearful? Why are you so fearful?

[45:33] I've heard people say this, never, you, whoever has been saying that, never repeat that again, that nothing good stays in my life. Stop saying that. Stop saying that. What do you mean?

[45:45] Every good thing that comes, I'm afraid the guy will go. He said, every, we've got nothing, please, for goodness sake, it has persisted because of what you've been saying. you have medical reports has become your confirmation.

[46:04] Where is the word? Where is the word? Please, engage your spirit. That's right. Your mind is telling something else, but engage your spirit.

[46:18] Engage your spirit. God is too faithful to fail. Yes. God is too faithful to you. Stand here as a prophet and I speak over your life.
