PFN YOUTH CONVENTION 2025 || KANO-NIGERIA WITH APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN

Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Amen. Good morning, everybody. It's my joy and my pleasure to be here. Hallelujah. Would you do a little adjustment for me? Just increase the sound for me. Media. Thank you. While standing, so that we don't take so much time, please let me honor the, um, the state chairman of PFN. Thank you so much. We sincerely honor you. And, um, the youth chairman, thank you for making this happen. May the Lord bless you. The resident pastor, thank you so very much. I also honor every man and every woman of God here, our fathers of faith. The Lord honor you and your wives and your ministries and your families in Jesus' name. Please, you may be gloriously seated. Amen. Thank you.

It's always a joy to serve the Lord, and I'm happy to be in Kano after so many years. We praise God, and, um, we pray in the name of Jesus that hopefully it will not take that long again for us to be able to visit the city. Do you believe that? Say amen.

And then let me again tender my apologies. I was to be here yesterday, but, um, it wasn't. What did you say? Hallelujah. Yes. So, praise God. But all the same, the time that we have will be a most profitable one in Jesus' name.

Would you lift your voice while you are sitting and ask God to give you an encounter? Ask Him to visit you by His word, to change your life, to impart grace and wisdom upon you.

[Music]

Are you praying? Thank you, Jesus.

[Music]

In Jesus' name, we pray. So, I'll be charging our hearts for the time that we have and then be praying with us. Um, everywhere I see people gathered in the name of the Lord, my heart becomes ignited and passionate, particularly because the kingdom operates based on knowledge. Desire is a very important component in the kingdom. But desire is not enough to produce the kind of people have an aggregated understanding that produces power, that produces a, a true witness in the kingdom. So, here and there, we have pieces of truths that we have gathered, some from sermons, some from preachers, some the structures that are used to make a building. You look at this building, for instance, you find out that there are a number of components that were in place. There was the foundation. There are places where castings happen in this building. There is the zinc, the finishing, the aesthetics. All of them had to be put strategically to produce a beautiful building. It matters the order and the formation to produce a building. Now, that's how a believer is. Knowledge must be added to knowledge, but that with wisdom. Colossians 3 and:e 16 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." Then it says, "In all wisdom, it matters that it dwells in wisdom." If the word of Christ dwells in you and is without wisdom, then you will find out that you have so many truths, but you do not know how to combine them to produce victory. Hallelujah.

Praise God. Having access to truth is like a chef in the kitchen about to cook. Let's say you want to make fried rice or jollof rice. You can have the rice, and you can have all the ingredients, but three or four people can use the same ingredients, the same kitchen, and produce foods that are of various tastes. Are we together? Others, it will be a delight. Some, it will be pleasant. Others, sadly, it will be a disaster. Same ingredients, same kitchen, same condition. The difference is the combination. That's how truth is. Line must be line upon line. Precept upon precept. Here a little, there a little. So, very quickly, I want to run for the minutes that we have. I want to show you a roadmap. I want to show you the roadmap that helps a believer to become a person of stature and power. I also want to show you the roadmap that can allow a person, a territory, or a generation to truly establish the kingdom of God. I also want to show you, very briefly, the structure of God's program, His end-time program, and I hope that we'll be able to discuss a few things with the time that we have. I hope you're interested in learning. Praise the name of the Lord. This is particularly important for those who are called into ministry. We have a very serious responsibility not only to help people find salvation but to grow their spiritual understanding to a point where they become witnesses indeed. Hallelujah. The spiritual quality, the quality of believers across any territory, is a measureless reflection of the depth and the strength of the spiritual voices that train them. Let me say that again. The quality of believers in any territory will always be a reflection of the depth of spiritual understanding of the voices, the leaders that train them. A man of God and a woman of God who is deep in spiritual things will produce a people of power and stature. A man who may not be as deep may not produce people beyond the level of encounter. So, this will profit both men of God and profit all of us together as we seek to press into perfection. The Lord bless us in the name of Jesus.

Now, to produce a true apostolic community, when you want to produce believers that are fortified, men and women who have stature and have power, who have maturity and can be trusted with God's program, there are a number of truths. There are certain bodies of truth, spiritual knowledge that must be available to the believers within that territory. Hallelujah. There is a certain body of truth, body of light, that if you do not find and if you do not understand, you may never be able to host the program of God and to execute it with precision. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. And I'll give you three of them. The three, uh, among the many bodies of knowledge that believers must have. Number one, you must understand God's prophetic program. It is important for you to understand the full texture and the scope of God's prophetic program. Your relevance in the kingdom and your relevance in this dispensation will be predicated upon your thorough understanding of God's prophetic program. Number two, you must understand the demands for being a host. The demand to be trusted by God to birth that program. You must know the kinds of vessels that God is looking for. Understanding His program is number one. But it's important for you to know that God loves everybody, but He cannot use everybody. There is a kind of man God is looking for. There is a kind of vessel God is looking for. There is a kind of believer God is looking for. There is a kind of witness God is looking for. And so, in as much as we have several Christians, genuine Christians across Kano, across the north, you may find out that not many may be at the cutting edge of God's prophetic program. And others have gone so far to know what God wants to do, but there is a demand. So, that's the second body of knowledge you must know. Number three, you must understand God's strategy for executing His program. So, I'm listing for you the bodies of knowledge that helps a man to be relevant in God's program. And I listed for you, number one, that you must understand God's prophetic program. What exactly is it? You talk about kingdom come. What exactly is it? The average believer just knows that, okay, we're talking about God, but they cannot articulate with intelligence what God's prophetic program is. And unfortunately, sometimes that includes preachers. They cannot give you a concise definition as to what God's program is. And if you do not know what God's program is, then functioning in His vineyard becomes a risk because it means you will mislead a lot of people. Not because you are false, but because you are ignorant. Number two, the vessels. You cannot prepare a people and mature them to be of stature and to be usable until you understand the portrait of the kind of vessel God is looking for. When you want to apply for a job, for those of you who are working or seek to work, when the application comes out, they detail for you very clearly the demands. Am I right on that? So, they say, for instance, we are looking for a driver, and then they list it very clearly that the driver should have maybe five years' experience. He should have been able to drive across this and that. If you think you are qualified, then apply. And sometimes others can take the risk to apply, and the company says, "Well, because you took the risk, um, we will train you to match that demand," but that demand will not be compromised. Are we together? And then, number three, the execution strategy. I think this is where most believers have failed, and it is why many territories do not produce true witnesses because we understand God's program, and sometimes we even pay the price to become the kinds of vessels that God can use. But we now begin to use our strategies to execute divine programs. And you find out that it becomes burdensome, and it, it does not work well in birthing God's program. His program must be executed by His strategy, not our strategy. In desiring to bring down Jericho, Joshua knew already that Jericho was God's will to be brought down as part of their ongoing process into the promised land. So, he was aware of the program. Number two, he knew that God would use them, and they had aligned themselves to be the kinds of vessels. But there was number three that was left: the strategy. If he did not get the strategy right, the knowledge of Jericho coming down and preparing themselves as great vessels will still not count in bringing victory. He needed to inquire from the Lord, "What strategy do we use?" And he was given a very strange strategy that you go around Jericho once every week, and then on the seventh day, you go around seven times, the priest bearing the trumpet, and at the seventh time, you will blow the trumpet and shout, and that was what birthed the victory. So, it is a risk to assume any strategy and believe because you are sincere, it will birth the glory of God. No, sir. No, sir. The strategy for execution is also very important. And let's see how far God will help us in dealing with these three areas. Wherever we stop, we'll take the time to pray, and that will be sufficient for tonight. If God is already helping you, say amen.

Amen.

So, let's talk about God's end-time program very quickly. What exactly is it? We talk about God's prophetic program. We talk about kingdom come. We talk about, you know, God's program for the nations, but I need to give us perspective very quickly. Um, God's program, and I'm going to be summarized very quickly since I have a limited time with us. Now, God's program, like you may have heard me teach, affects three groups of people. Please write that down. There are three groups of people essentially. The, the first group of people are the world of sinners, or the unbelieving world. God's program affects number one, the world of sinners, the unbelieving world. Number two, it affects the church. So, God has a program for the world, the unbelieving world. God has a program for the church, the saints. And then God has a program for society. Again, God has a program, an agenda for the unbelieving world. God has an agenda for the church. And God has an agenda for society. So, every time you talk about kingdom come, every time you talk about God's end-time prophetic program, let your mind go to these three groups. There is an aspect of that agenda that is to the unbelieving world. There is an aspect of that agenda that is to the church. And there is an aspect of that agenda that is to society. The reason this is important is because knowing this will help you appreciate your allocation in that job description. Are we together? There are people who, in giving them their individual mandates, they will be sent to the first aspect, the unbelieving world. That becomes their core area of assignment. There are those who their core area of assignment will be within the church, among the saints. And there are those who will have the privilege to serve God's purposes across the broader society. If you do not understand this, you may not see that the person who is serving in society is as important as a person who is serving the world of sinners. The dichotomy that we have experienced in the body of Christ has been because we have not broadened our understanding about God's program. Are we together? So, most people, when they say, "God, use me," the average man's idea is, "God, give me a church. God, give me a pulpit. God, give me a mic. I want to be a preacher." That's a very dangerous orientation. And that's why there are people today on the pulpit who should not be on the pulpit. They're on the pulpit where they should be in banking halls. They're in the pulpit where they should be in government. Are we together? But because they do not know that there is a tripartite composition of God's agenda, they feel the only way I can serve God is to be a preacher or to be an evangelist. And they find out that the grace is not there because the allocation is not with sinners. Are we following already? This is very important. And until and unless you are taught to see that the man who has the privilege to be at the mission field, and the one who is bringing finances for the gospel, and the one who is maturing the saint, no one is greater than the other. It is simply the privilege of job description. Are we together?

Yes, sir.

When I came in from the airport, it took a driver to drive me here. It took the protocol or the security to clear the road. Am I right on that? And so, imagine if the driver were not available. As powerful as the meeting is, I would not be here. I had to depend on the driver. So, God's program is three-fold, not one-fold. What we call the Great Commission, uh, a Christian term, even though it's not in the Bible as a word, "Great Commission," it has been taught in a very, uh, incomplete way by sincere people. We grew up hearing preachers talk about the Great Commission, but they did not capture the whole picture. And as sincere as they were, it produced lopsided believers. So, for the average person, our concept of the Great Commission is soul-winning, and it ends there. And that is the initial part of it, but not the only part of it. If you truly want to understand the Great Commission, there are three scriptures you have to examine. Number one, you have to examine Mark chapter 16 from verse 15. Please give it to us. Let's hurry up. Mark chapter 16 from verse 15. And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world." What did He tell them to do? "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." You find that there, verse 16, it says, "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Then He now says, "This sign shall follow them that believe, you know, in my name shall cast out devils." So, that's the first part. Unfortunately, this is the only part that most people emphasize: "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel." But that's only one. Let's go to the second one. Matthew chapter 28. Please give us Matthew chapter 28. The second component from verse 18. Matthew 28 and verse 18. And Jesus said unto them, "All power," the word "power" there is not an accurate rendition. It is the word *exousia*, authority. You find that corrected in NKJV, but just for your knowledge, "all authority in heaven and in earth has been given unto me." Verse 19, He says, "Go ye." So, how many "go ye's" do we have now? There is one that is Mark's synoptic account: "Go ye and preach the gospel." Am I right? Now, we see another mandate: "Go." But this time around, He says, "Make disciples." "Go and make disciples of all nations." So, the first component: preach the gospel to all creatures. Are we together? And to do that, you need signs and wonders and miracles because they will not believe until they see signs. But now, another mandate is to make disciples. These ones don't need signs and wonders and miracles necessarily. They need the ministry of the word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit to mature and to build them. That you baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Verse 20, "not visit them just once on a crusade ground, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." And while you are doing this, it's not only signs that follow you. "I will be with you." Are we together now?

Even to the end of the age. That's the second component. Let's go to the third one very quickly. Acts chapter 1 and verse 8. I'm showing you the complete picture of the Great Commission. "But you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you, and you shall be." Notice, He now does not talk about preaching here. He does not just talk about discipleship. He talks about being representing. "You shall be witnesses." A witness does not need his voice alone. A witness needs his life and everything he has. "You shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth." Until you combine Mark 16, Matthew 28, and Acts 1:8, your understanding of God's program will be faulty. Are we learning already? So, some people choose Mark 16, then they go and preach, then they stop there. Others choose Matthew 28, then they disciple believers, then they stop there. Others choose Acts chapter 1 and verse 8. So, there is a desperate search for power, but no souls, no building. Are you seeing that now? Praise the name of the Lord.

God's program, I repeat again. I hope you're understanding me so far, that it affects three groups of people: the unbelieving world, there's a program for the church, and there's a program for society. Are we together now? Very important. Let me define for you very quickly the Great Commission. What exactly is the Great Commission? This is important. I'll read for you a definition that I wrote here. It's very important. The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus to His disciples, and now to all believers. A mandate given by Jesus Himself. It was then to His disciples, but now is extended, the call to all believers, to reach the entire globe with the gospel of salvation. To bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and unto maturity through discipleship. It's a long read. And then to bring territorial and social transformation. I'll take that again. The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus Christ to His disciples, and then today to all believers, to number one, reach the entire globe with the gospel of salvation. That's the first part. Number two, to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and unto spiritual maturity through discipleship. And then number three, to consequently bring territorial and societal transformation. This right here is a complete picture of the Great Commission. It's a complete picture of God's end-time program. Now, at every point, God will have certain emphasis. There are things He will be emphasizing in certain seasons, but ultimately, this is the bigger, larger, richer picture. And anyone who truly loves God and wants to be relevant, particularly in this end time, then you must understand the full scope of His program. Number one, bringing the gospel of salvation to the lost. Number two, bringing the saints to a point of maturity and stature through discipleship. And then number three, bringing about territorial transformation. Hallelujah. You get, you get the definition now. So, three components. One, world evangelization. World evangelization. And Kano, listen very carefully. World evangelization. That's the first aspect. Number two, the maturity of the saints, the church, through discipleship. This is where the five-fold ministry comes. And then number three, changing and influencing your society. Now, let me tell you this. Anywhere you find these three components alive in a territory, it is impossible for the program of God to suffer. If you find the program of God suffering in any territory, one or more or all of these three components is missing. So, I tell you this, if the church in Kano or the church in the north is suffering, someone is not doing his job in terms of world evangelization, or someone is not doing his job in terms of maturing those who are saved, or someone is not doing his job in producing an apostolic community of witnesses who will penetrate every system and every strata. You get that? Now, let me tell you the danger. If all you do is to go to the mission field and win souls, those souls will be saved. But if you don't mature them, they will rot. The same way, if you, you know, souls are likened to fish. How many of you have seen a fish, a fisherman? When you fish, do you leave the fish at the sea here forever? No. You pick them from there and begin to clean them. Am I right? And to package them? Or let me use the language of agriculture. If you harvest, do you leave your harvest at the farm there? No. Wild beasts and animals will come. If you harvest a tomato, it has a very short lifespan. Am I right on that? If you leave it at the farm there, it begins to rot. That's what is happening to many believers. So, we have many sincere missionaries. We have many pastors who win souls, and those people come, but because there is no system to take it from there, the second component, they are left for a very long time, they don't grow. And sometimes you pile them in church, they are full of flesh, carnally minded, they have not become spiritual. Eventually, because of longevity of stay in church, you just give them appointments because they have stayed long, they were long in church, but they did not grow. And the danger, listen carefully, the danger is that you find leaders who are still infants. Even though they've stayed long in church, they are still infants because growth is not a gift. You evolve into it. And in the realm of the spirit, you can be saved for 10 years and remain the way you were saved. Now, you imagine a gentleman who did not go through this second phase. He's not enjoyed the ministry God designed for the church. No maturity, no understanding. I'm not talking of someone being fake. I'm talking of a sincere person who was not trained. Sooner or later, that gentleman becomes a youth pastor. That gentleman now becomes a head pastor. What kind of members is he going to produce? He will only produce people that reflect his ignorance because he was not trained. Are you seeing how the program of God gets weakened in society? The man was not trained to appreciate prayer. The man was not trained to appreciate fasting. Or he may even be prayerful, but not know why. He just knows his mentors prayed, and they said, "Pray." You ask him, "Why do you do?" He said, "Look, I don't know. Just pray." There's no understanding, you see that now? And then, you can have believers who may be fortunate to have maturity. They are taught, but then they do not know that the relevance of the believer is not in church. The church is not the place of manifestation. No, the church is the place of training. When you are trained in church, then you are deployed in society to be the light and to be the salt. Matthew 5:13-16, it says, "You are the salt of the earth." But if the salt has lost its saltiness or its savor, it says, "Wherewith shall it be made?" It stands forth good for nothing except to be cast out and to be thrown under foot of men. Verse 14 says, "You are the light of the world." "You are a city that is set on a hill." It says, "Neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but they put it on a candlestick so that it gives light to everyone there." Then verse 16 says, "Let your light." The word "let" means permit, allow, do not restrict. "Let your light so shine," not before members, not before spirits, before men, that they may see your good works. The reason why our society is not glorifying our Father is because they have not seen our good works. Is someone learning now? Very, very important. It is very easy to transform a society if we return back to God's patterns. So, we start by bringing the lost by the power of the Holy Spirit. When they get saved, there are structures immediately that begin to build them. And then when they attain maturity, watch this, they are now released into society, and then they can frontier God's program.

Now, the second thing I want to do very quickly is to dramatize for you the pathway that leads to maturity. The pathway that leads to maturity. Not everyone, unfortunately, will have an opportunity to be featured in God's prophetic program. Everyone should be, everyone can be, but not everyone will allow himself or herself to be molded by the Spirit of God into the version that makes you relevant for God's program. So, I'm going to run three illustrations, and I want you to please pay attention. Let me have three gentlemen. Um, um, well, maybe the choir gentlemen or the protocol, don't just jump from anywhere. Allow those who are here in front already. Okay. Come. Three gentlemen. Please. All of you. Stand facing this way. One here, one here, one here. Thank you. So, you stand here. Everybody watch this illustration. I'm trying to be as simple as I can. Can you back up a bit? Now, everybody look at me very carefully. This represents the three phases of a believer's journey. If you want to attain maturity and you want to be the kind of vessel that will be used by God, you have to understand this as I'm speaking to you now. Verify whether you have been following this pathway. If you are not following this pathway, you will not become a witness. You will become something else. No matter the depth of your encounter, if it compromises on these three steps, something will be wrong with the product. Are we together now?

Number one, this is the first junction in everyone's life. The foundation of everyone. Watch this. By default, we are born sinners. Nobody inherits salvation from the womb. Are we together now? Salvation, as given to every believer, must be by a conscious declaration of the Lordship of Jesus, having accepted Him. Now, watch this. This is elementary, but this is powerful. You will be surprised how many preachers cannot articulate the gospel. So, the foundation of a believer's journey starts with hearing the gospel, not coming to church. Your coming to church is wonderful, but the reading starts the day you are saved. You can be in church for 10 years. If you are not saved, you are not yet part of the fold. The only way a man becomes saved, listen to me, is by listening to the gospel of salvation. What is the gospel of salvation? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Write for reference. John 3:16. Write for reference. Romans 10:8-10. Write for reference. The gospel of salvation is a declaration. Watch this now. A declaration of the love of the Father that was demonstrated to man in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. Man and creation being the object of that sacrifice. The gospel of salvation is a declaration of the love of the Father to man. That love was demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Are we together? Man and the entire creation being the object of that sacrifice. Here's how the Bible puts it. John 3:16: "For God so loved the world," it says, "that He gave His then only begotten Son." He says, "that whosoever believes on Him." How many believers do we have here? "Whosoever believes on Him is a law." Whether the person is from a broken family, whether the person was a drunkard, whether the person was a prostitute, whether the person, whatever, whosoever believes in Him, at the moment you believe in Him, that law comes into place. He said, "That person should not perish but have eternal life." Say amen.

Amen.

Now, the moment you hear the gospel, when you hear this declaration of God's love as Savior, you hear that He loved you so much that He gave His Son, you have two choices: to reject the gospel or to believe it. To those who reject it, the Bible says they are already condemned. There's no condemnation in the future. Again, they are already condemned by willfully rejecting the gospel. But for those who accept the gospel, the Bible tells us immediately three gifts are given to them. The moment you hear the gospel and you accept the gospel, three gifts. Please listen. I'm giving you a theological understanding so that you understand the pathway that leads to maturity. The moment you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, there are three gifts that are given to you. Number one is called the forgiveness of sin. Number two is called the gift of righteousness. Number three is called the life of God. *Zoe*, we call it. Three gifts. Anyone here who has found yourself receiving Jesus Christ right now, you are a possessor of these three gifts. Whether you feel it or not, that is the authority of the word of God. The forgiveness of sin. Number two, the gift of righteousness. And then number three, the life of God. This is it right here. Who is learning now? No matter how long you've been around the things of God, if you are not saved, you do not have the forgiveness of sin. If you are not saved, you do not have the gift of righteousness. If you are not saved, you don't have the life of God. And the Bible says, watch this. It says, "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God." Someone say, "I believe."

Say it again.

I believe.

Like you are learning. Say, "I believe."

I believe.

Now, watch this. The moment you get saved, genuinely saved, there is a name you are called. You are a believer. However, from the kingdom standpoint, you are called an infant. Write that down. Even if you were a celebrity before you got born again, you are not called a celebrity Christian. You are called an infant. And pastors must learn this so that we don't bring celebrities, with all due respect, to church and believe that they inherit maturity because of their greatness. If a man was a CEO of so-so-so and so bank and he gets born again, for the first time, he's not his status there does not apply in the kingdom. He's a child.

And he will still have to grow. Now, it doesn't mean to mock the person. Honor to whom honor is due, but from a spiritual standpoint, you don't inherit maturity by being professional. No. Is someone learning? Everyone who gets born again, including those who will be saved from this message, is called an infant. The Bible calls you a babe, an infant, like a child. Are we together? Now, the moment you get saved, please listen here, that anyone who gets saved in this place now, or will get saved through your hand, may he find these ministries I'm about to list for you. Do you know why some people become powerful two, three years after salvation, and others remain lean and hungry and spiritually bankrupt? Because the way God designed it, and this is the apostolic model that was given to the church. The moment you get born again, there are three ministries you must encounter. If you fail to encounter those three ministries, your journey to spiritual frustration has begun, even though you are saved. Number one, the moment you get born again, the first ministry you must be introduced to is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number two, the second ministry you must be introduced to is the ministry of the word. The ministry of the word comes alongside with prayer. Prayer and the word, you may say. And then number three, the ministry of a teaching priest. If these three ministries are absent in your life, you will never truly grow again. To the believer who becomes born again, your next assignment is to encounter these three ministries: the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the Revealer, the Strengthener, the Comforter, the Standby, the Advocate. Number two, the ministry of the word, the ministry of prayer. And then number three, the ministry of a teaching priest or a pastor over you who will methodically help you. The centurion had access to the scrolls that had the teachings, but there was no teaching priest to help him. The Bible says on his way going through Jerusalem, he saw the scroll, and he was surprised. He was reading, but he could not understand. And then Philip was sent to join the chariot. Are we Bible students? And then when he saw, he said, "Please tell me of whom does this man speak of?" And he began to expound for him. It's important that you find a teaching priest. That's the reason why you must honor every man of God. Those who are represented here as fathers in the land. Are we together? And then any man of God who is serving the grace of God with integrity. You know why? Because they serve you the grace of God according to Jeremiah 3 and:15. "And I will give you pastors, shepherds according to my heart. They will feed you with knowledge and they will feed you with understanding." Are you understanding me so far? Say amen.

Amen.

Two believers who get born again, one is introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. One is introduced to the ministry of prayer and the word. One is introduced to a local assembly or the ministry of a teaching priest versus the other one who never gets to know about the Holy Spirit, like the brethren in Acts chapter 19:1-4, and never gets to appreciate the ministry of prayer and the word, like we find in Acts chapter 6 and verse 4, and never gets to appreciate the ministry of the teaching priest. That man will not grow. It will not be a spiritual attack. It's a violation of the patterns that lead to growth. Are we learning now? No. So, this gentleman now is born again. Fortunately, he got born again in Kano, and glory be to God. The person who got him saved, introduce him to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Introduce him to the ministry of prayer and the word. Introduce him to a church, a local assembly, the ministry of a teaching priest. You know what happens? The truths of the kingdom. What begins to happen to this man is called transformation and renewal. That's the next assignment. The Holy Spirit works in partnership with his, his prayer life, his word life, and the ministry of his pastor, and begins to grow this man. Now, he begins to learn a few things on prayer, on fasting, on giving, on diligence. Watch what is happening to him. He's growing spiritually. He may not even know, but he's growing by knowledge. Are we together? Knowledge is making him grow. Sooner or later, he will get to this second junction. He now becomes what we call a transformed believer. Write that down. So, he starts as a sinner. The gospel leads him to becoming a believer. However, he's an infant. What makes him an infant? He's void of knowledge. He's void of maturity. He's void of character. When you stop here, that's where you find people behaving as if they are not saved. The only way you know they are saved is when they pray in tongues. No character, no understanding of the word. Any challenge, they begin to insult God because they don't have maturity. The cure is not to be angry with them. Is to grow them into maturity. This gentleman has gotten here now. He's a transformed believer. In what way is he transformed? Number one, he now has built the character of the Spirit. It's called the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:16-22. This man now is a better believer in terms of character, the inner work of the Holy Spirit. All those anger, all those jealousy, those lusts, through the teaching ministry, through a healthy prayer life, through a healthy word life. Are we together? Through service in church, the labor of the teaching priest over him, there's been that washing of the word, that regeneration by the word. Now, this guy has come to a point of knowledge. He's not an ignorant believer. Again, look at me. Most of you may think you are here right now. But there are litmus tests to show whether you are a transformed believer. Your mindset, your spiritual understanding. Philippians chapter 2 from verse 5. It says, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Is someone learning now? "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ." One of the ways you test maturity is to allow believers speak. The moment you open your mouth, you reveal the content of your understanding. So, there are many believers when you hear them speak, you still know they have not grown. The way they speak. One day, go better. No, that's not a discipled believer. You don't speak that way because one who has been discipled knows that death and life is in the power of the tongue, and it matters how you speak, and that "I set before you life and blessing." So, you don't leave life to just give you outcomes. The one who has been discipled knows that the earth works based on the law of seed time and harvest, and that your outcomes don't just depend on the will of God, but your participation by faith. Who is learning? There's a way you don't know why they pray. Or those who pray just say, "Look, I'm, I'm tired of attacks. I want to pray." So, what is the prayer doing to the attacks? The person cannot say it. Why do you read your Bible? He says, "Well, I, I just, I, I want to grow." Say, "Okay. How does reading the Bible cause a man to grow?" There is what you must know. Like you may have heard me say, let me probe you across a number of subjects. Please look up and lend me your attention. What do you understand about fasting and who taught you? What do you understand about prayer? Understand about the supremacy of the word and who taught you? What do you understand about faith and who taught you? What do you understand about Satan and who taught you? What do you understand about demons and oppression and curses and yokes and who taught you? What do you understand about the believer's victory? Who taught you? What do you understand about your oneness with Christ, if at all you understand that? And who taught you? What do you understand about kingdom service and who taught you? I'm listing for you the course content that produces maturity. What do you believe about challenges and who taught you? What do you believe about setbacks and who taught you? What do you believe about giving and who taught you? Are you seeing that most believers are not growing? If you are to write an exam based on what I've said now, most of you will fail woefully. You are just Christian serving. And I'm not trying to be hard on you. I'm challenging you to know that if you stay that way, the program of God will suffer. The program of God depends on believers who are matured, not believers who are available. It takes availability to start the journey, but it takes maturity to execute. So, let me come to my lovely worship team. I saw you singing beautifully. Lovely people. If I ask you now, what do you understand about the ministry of worship? You'll be surprised. Some persons will look at me. Oh, David worshiped this one. Worship. Worship brings down the presence of God. What is it? Can be explained. What does it do? You see that? Now, ask the ushers who collected offerings, "What did you do?" They said, "Me too. They told me to do it." Oh, they said, "Stand here. Stand here. Stand here." And I simply obeyed. You see that there's a lot of ignorance in the body of Christ. And the terrible thing is when ignorance meets pride, it closes the gate for growth. So, there's a lot of bragging and boasting over nothing at all. When ignorance meets pride, let me pray my first prayer for you. The spirit of pride and arrogance that may not allow you learn and grow, from my heart, I pray for you. May it be far from your life. Far from your life. Far from your life. Far from your life. Sit down, please. No matter how ignorant a believer is, the moment your heart is open to learn, you shorten the distance between you and the next level. You elongate your frustration through pride. Hallelujah.

Now, watch this. Let's go back again. Assuming this gentleman, this guy wants to be greatly used by God. Now, he comes to a PFN conference like this. And while the word of God is coming, the gentleman does not want to grow. He remains here. Are we together? After 10 years, you will call him emoji. You will give him all kinds of names. And it may be very sincere, but from the realm of the spirit standpoint, when you think you are here, whereas you are backward, life will take you back to the rightful place that matches your understanding. You don't inherit growth. It is line upon line. Every day as you submit to prayer, this is what is happening. Every day as you pray and fast, something is happening. It may not look obvious. The same way you did not know you were changing from a child, now you are an adult. It's when you look at your yesterday's picture, you will know you have grown. You didn't even observe that you were growing. You just knew that you were eating every day, going to school every day. The same things that make you grow biologically have a spiritual parallel. Have you seen someone who only ate and did not go to school? There is a kind of adult he will become, an ignorant adult. He's an adult, but he's not employable. That's how it is spiritually. So, you can grow in terms of biological stature and not have knowledge. I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power that raised Christ from the dead. May you fight ignorance like cancer.

[Music]

May you fight. Hallelujah. Now, you see, every time you stop growing, the destinies connected to you keep suffering until you manifest. The implication of remaining here is that you stop other destinies that were supposed to rise through your becoming a witness. They become punished. So, the prophet that should rise from the efficiency of your work with God, the apostle that should rise, the businessman that should rise, is taunted. And there is a timeline for their manifestation. But you're not imagining, is delaying other people too. For someone, God is speaking to you by now. If you had started this journey by now, God would have been using you mightily. But you are still dealing with elementary things. It's time to grow. It's time to grow. It's time to grow beyond the walls of religion and church. It's time to grow. Young lady Esther, in ignorance, cannot become queen. No. If God has told you you will be queen, then you must begin to engage with the knowledge that makes for maturity. So, finally, you get here, you are a transformed believer. You have the right information. Watch this. But something is still missing. There are a number of you who are here right now. By the mercies of God, you are not ignorant. You have read books. By the mercy of God, the anointing of the Spirit will begin to move now. I just saw light, light. And two people, I'm going to continue my teaching, but two people, God is bringing you the grace, and this will be widespread, but God is starting with two people. The grace for prophetic intercession. Prophetic intercession. That anointing is resting on two people. Prophetic intercession.

[Music]

Pay attention. Let's continue. So, here we are. You are transformed. Are we together? Two of you will begin to run now. Help those under the anointing. Two people. The power of God will come upon them mightily. They literally will start running physically. Just hold them. Hold them. It is by the Spirit of God.

[Music]

This is a ministry of signs and wonders. They'll never be the same. I'm about to pray for you shortly, but you must understand this.

[Music]

James, who is James? James. There is a James that God wants to use. What's your name? From where? Father, in the name of Jesus, James, I pray for you. Wherever James is, I presume he's more than one person. Let grace rest upon you. May God use you mightily. May God begin to walk upon you. My friend, take that grace now in the name of Jesus. You will never be the same. Never be the same in the name of Jesus. God will begin to make a sign and a wonder out of you by the Spirit of grace. A sign and a wonder out of you. A sign and a wonder out of you. I don't want to distract myself. We're going to pray. You need to learn what I'm showing you now. God. God. Who is God? I'm hearing a name, Godilla. It's like you are serving with the ushers. Is there a Godilla with the ushers?

[Music]

You and your wife. Let that grace rest on you. Let that grace rest on you in the name of Jesus Christ. Take that grace now by the power of the Holy Spirit. The rewards of faithfulness. The rewards of faithfulness.

I decree and declare this lady wearing red. I c that spirit. I'm seeing something oppressing you. I decree and declare in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord sets you free from every oppression. I have to finish this because we are going to pray. We are going to pray. There are many, many men of God that came here with hunger. There is grace that is going to rest upon you and shift your ministry to another level in the name of Jesus Christ.

UBA, who works with UBA? UBA. Come. It's a It's a new season for you. UBA. I saw the logo of UBA. Please make sure you verify. Don't just come carelessly. UBA. You know, people have abused this prophetic thing to a point that you can't say something and have you have to keep verifying things because people have played games with this thing. And so sometimes people make everybody look like they are stupid. But this is again if you don't follow this pathway the alternative is what you see people doing around are we together now UBA please stand pray for you I'm going to pray for you one of you your days there is numbered God is taking you out of this country this what I saw I don't know who is that I'm seeing you out of this country in the name that is above all names.

Return with your testimony. Return with your testimony in Jesus name. Please return to your seat if you can.

Let me your attention. I have to finish this so that we'll pray. I have to finish this so that we'll pray. Once the water is teared like this, if you don't just contain this, I hope I've not lost you in my lectures. Are we still together? >> Praise God. There's a gentleman and a lady who will shout now loud under the anointing to the hearing of everyone. Please, I'd like you to bring that person in front here. Is the power of God. There is a work that God is doing. Hallelujah. Praise God. Now lend me your attention. Don't don't be distracted. This is the Holy Ghost just doing his thing. Spirit of the sovereign Lord, come and make your presence known. reveal the glory of the reasoning. Lord, >> you're the spirit of the suffering. Lord, come and make your presence known. Reveal the glory of the risen Lord God. Reveal the wisdom of the sovereign Lord. For someone, I'm speaking to you prophetically. You are entering a season of training. I'm speaking to someone. And as I'm speaking, the power of God will be locating those people. You are entering a very strange season. Is a school of the spirit. The Lord is going to begin to work in you because there is a mighty warrior that is coming out of you. My brother, my sister, a mighty warrior is emerging and I am I'm bringing you an echo from him. I'm coming as an echo sounding what the spirit is doing. You will go through a season of training. It will be hard but strength will be given to you. You will go through a season of prayer, a season of fasting, a season of praying, a season of consecration. There is a making, there is a pruning, there is a cutting, a breaking of the outer man so that God will release a treasure that is locked up from within your spirit. Behold the glory of the Lord. Behold the lion and the lamb. Behold the glory of the Lord.

I need to finish this. But I'm seeing a prophetic grace. The grace for the prophetic. I'm seeing seven seven people right now. The grace for the prophetic. You will step into a stream. Oh, it's a prophetic stream. Help them. The grace for the prophetic without compromise, with integrity. The grace for the prophetic men and women. The ears that hear, you will understand the counsel of the spirit in in the name of Jesus. You will understand the counsel of the spirit. You will understand the counsel of the spirit. For the prophetic again, I'm releasing it. Sons and daughters in the spirit, that grace is resting upon you. resting upon you, bringing a quickening. Some of you my worship people, let me pray for you. Prophetic psalmist, I release that grace. Carry that grace. Prophetic psalmist, you will hear songs in your sleep. It will come to you like rain. I release that grace upon you. It will come to you like rain. I quicken your spirit, man. Hear the sounds of the spirit. Hear the sounds of the spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. open your mouth and pray in the spirit everybody in one minute. Go ahead. Pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit. Pray in the spirit. One minute. Pray in the spirit. Today is a day of salvation for you. Pray in the spirit. God is depositing graces by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Are there men of prayer in Cano? Are there man of the altar in Cano? One minute we are praying. [Music] [Music] against you. [Music] Pray. Pray. Hallelujah. Amen.

That lady wearing yellow, lift your hands. I saw fire coming on you. And the Lord is saying he's taking you into a new season in the spirit. Take that grace right now. [Music] Just pray in the spirit. 1 minute. 1 minute. 1 minute. Don't be distracted. [Music]

Hallelujah. Here's a prophetic word for a young lady. There's a young lady in this congregation. The Lord is asking me to speak to you. Don't think you are too small and don't think you are too frail to be used by God. God is saying I should say this to a lady. You are looking at yourself and you are wondering from my background. You are not even originally a Christian from your background and you are looking at yourself and you are wondering can God really use me and God is saying I should speak to you. Don't think you are too small and don't think you are too frail to be used by God. When God calls men he makes them by himself he makes them. He makes them. Please sit down. Let me finish this. Please sit down. Just help those under the anointing. Let me your attention. and I have to finish my illustration. So here we are the believer through transition encountering the ministry of the Holy Ghost encountering the ministry of prayer and the word encountering the ministry of the teaching priest and through time he's gotten to this second phase he's now called a transformed believer doesn't mean transformation has stopped but he's attained onto a state of commendable transformation through light through revelation, through knowledge, there's been an inner working of the character of the spirit within that believer and then a transformation of his mind. He's not ignorant. But you see, if you stop here, let me your attention. If you stop here, you will know many things but not be able to defend them. You need to go to the next phase is called empowerment. When you become a transformed believer, you don't stop there. Jesus mentored the disciples for three and a half years. Even though they were full of knowledge, he said, "Tar tar, don't live this way. If you live with only revelation, you will get to a point where you will not be able to defend the things you say." There are many people who know that God heals, but they cannot demonstrate it. They know that God lifts but they cannot demonstrate it. They know the gifts of the spirit are in the Bible but they cannot demonstrate it. Their issue is not transformation. They have knowledge. They have light. What they lack is empowerment. At age 12, Jesus went to the temple but he was not empowered at the temple. For 18 years he was mentored, he was taught. Then he came to John. The Bible says, "And the heavens open, not upon an ignorant Jesus." And then the Holy Ghost came. If Jesus went about doing ministry without the empowerment of the Holy Ghost and he had knowledge alone, he would not be able to defend the fact that he came from the father. Acts 10:38, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost. He started as Jesus of Nazareth, but the Holy Ghost made him Jesus Christ, the Christ of God. He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power. He went about doing good is the business of power. It takes more than knowledge to do good. When you are talking about doing good, you need to go past the realm of knowledge. Many of you are right here. If I give you a mic to preach, you will preach powerfully Greek and Hebrew, Rama. But when it's time to demonstrate the authority of the kingdom, that's where you drop the mic. I believe God sent me here to push you to the next level. Knowledge is powerful, but let me tell you this. You never can advance a program of God with brain work alone. My dear people, it's great to write songs and sing, but you need power. Power from heaven. I'm not just talking of power to throw people down. The power to give life whilst you sing that it goes beyond a special ministration is a ministry of life. And I pray for you in the name of Jesus, beginning from today, you will not just minister songs, you will minister life. You will minister life. I deposit power upon your destiny. Your songs will carry life. Not just melodies. It will carry life in the name of Jesus. Everybody say power. >> Power. >> Empowerment is very important. Many believers lack this. Many ministers lack this. Can I tell you this? There is no assumption with power. If it is there, it is there. If it is not there, it is not there. Power is one of those components in the kingdom whose presence you cannot deny. If power is there, it shows. And when I talk of power, I'm not just talking of people falling down. No, I define power as the capacity to influence outcomes. The capacity to influence outcomes is called power. The fortitude to enforce compliance. that when God speaks and you can declare what he speaks and it comes to pass, you have power. We have reduced power in church to people just falling down like this. And while we're not insulting the work of the Holy Spirit, we need a generation that carries genuine power. When you say God heals, show that he heals. When you say God lifts, show that he lifts. Especially because you are in a territory where is difficult for people to believe in Jesus. There is no other region in this nation that needs power more than cano. You need it. You are not going to just tell people Jesus changes people's story. Think about it. No sir, you need power. Say power. Say it again. Say power. I tell you, you need power. The world is tired of a a lot of noise and stories. No. The centurion saw power. The jailer saw power. Even before a sermon, what broke him was the power of the Holy Ghost that at midnight Paul and Silas they prayed, they sang. Why is your prayer and your singing not doing anything? Their own prayer and their own singing produced results immediately. Immediately, sir, [Music] he was declared to be the son of God with power. With power, with power. We need to cry for power. Not just for the purpose of looking like you're a man of God. No. The the business of end time kingdom come is the business of power. The day you step into a non-Christian family and someone who was born in a wheelchair gets up from that wheelchair, you see the power of God puts you in a position where you have to agree that there is God or just live in denial. There's too much talking. That's why there are no conversions. We need power. It's good to have knowledge, but you need power. Some of you, you are the first and only person who is still saved in your family. They've had all your sermons. Go with power. Go with power. TL Osborne went to India with a nice theological presentation of the work of salvation. He preached and preached and preached in India. He was so frustrated. Nothing happened. His own account. Your TL husband. He had knowledge. He had character. He was a man of integrity but no power. And when he preached to the crowd of hungry people, he told them the things God could do in the Bible and created expectation. But the people went back disappointed. He returned back broken. He cried before God and said, "God, what is this? You can't send me as an evangelist to bring you a harvest with sermons and no power. When he encountered power, he went back to India. When he spoke, they were just looking at him. He called a called the blind people. His own account, the moment miracles happen, I can tell you firsthand traveling across the nations of the earth, I can tell you this by the mercies of God, there is no race, no tribe, no culture that does not react to power. You cannot speak their language but power can speak their language preachers we must trust God for grace authentic power that when you say it becomes as you have said that when you tell the people you are blessed they don't just say amen as a ritual they know you are programming a climate of possibilities upon [Music] Empowerment. This is a link that is missing. Many people have knowledge but they've not contended for empowerment. And so as much as they want to serve the purposes of God, they don't have the power to. When you watch the sick get sick while you are praying for them till they die. When you watch the oppressed get oppressed and the more you are praying for them the more Satan is prevailing over them. Then you tell them love Jesus. They say no power was so important. Jesus told the disciples tar. It's unfortunate that we Pentecostals have so abused power. You see sometimes I I bleed in my heart. Many many young ministers have abused power. Is the reason why when we say power, most people just think it's just some young people jumping around. No. The capacity to change a man's life. I'm telling you, you can win a city in one day when power is in is at work. I believe that from this conference maybe not everybody but from this conference there are men who will arise. >> I also came to make you angry in your spirit man that you say no this this my level in the faith work. I'm tired of this level. It is time for me to push. It is time for me to press. It is time for me to rise until I get to a point where the power of heaven is deposited in experience over my life. Now watch this. Please back to our arrangement again. Sit down. Sit down. We're about to stand up and pray. Everybody look at this. Remember what I taught you. So the gospel of salvation brings you into the kingdom but you come in as an infant void of knowledge, void of maturity. You cannot be used by God this way. And then you are introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. You are introduced to the ministry of the word and prayer. You are introduced to the ministry of a teaching priest. These tripartite ministries work to grow you to the point of transformation. When you get to the point of transformation, you have knowledge, you have a transformed mind, you are building character. The Holy Ghost moves you to the next phase. It's called empowerment. Watch this. The moment you get to this point of empowerment, like you may have heard me say, the word of God gives you a new name, you are no longer called a believer, you are called a witness. A witness is not just the person preaching. A witness is one who has journeyied with the spirit from infancy to transformation to empowerment. infancy, transformation, empowerment. You are called a witness. Are we together now? Now when God calls you a witness, at that point he can trust you with his program. He begins to define for you an allotment. As far as his prophetic program is concerned, he begins to place something upon you. Listen to me. Allocations in the spirit begin to come. Even though it was there for you in prophecy, but because you have partnered with God to get to this state, now he can trust you with Cano. Now he can trust you with Nigeria. Now he can trust you with America. Have you heard some of our fathers who went and said God gave them this city? God God will literally share lands and give them you take this city for me. You take this city for me for Renhard Bonke. God gave him Africa and said stay here. And my goodness my God from Congo DRC to Nigeria to Ghana you name it. The only place where it was not successful for Renard bunker was your very city right here. That means other Renard bunkers need to rise because that assignment is still not complete. This was the only city that rejected him. Your very city here. I hope you know your spiritual history enough. It's good to not just live in a city, but you must also know your spiritual history within the city. I Daniel understood by books. I truly believe and that's why God quickened in my heart to come. I believe there is a season where some of you you don't even know why God kept you here in Cano. You were not born here. Maybe you came to school until now you are still here. Where you want to go, God will say stay. A time will come when he will give you the marching orders to go but not after you learn. This is the best place to learn what he's teaching you. It's a spiritual school of infantry and he's hiding you here to train you. When he trains you, he can now shoot you like an arrow. Some of you, I'm telling you prophetically, the n your days are numbered in Cano. You need to double up your training, double up your prayer, double up your fasting because soon the clarion call will come and God will begin to give you mandates that are even beyond the territory of Cano. [Music] I believe what I'm saying. This is a word for someone. Your days are numbered. Hear me. I'm saying it by the spirit of God. Your days in this city. I'm speaking to you prophetically. Very soon, God is going to give you another assignment. He's going to place another mandate upon you. He will send you to regions. He will send you to lands. But this time around, you will not just go with knowledge. You will go with power. You will not just go as a believer. You will go as a witness. Hear me. It is dangerous to try to serve the purposes of God only as a believer. No, you need to be a witness. The difference between a witness and a believer is that a believer just believes the word. He has capacity to believe the word. But a witness understands the blueprint of the assignment and has the grace component for the execution. pastors, we must raise beyond church members. We must start with them as church members. But our assignment, we are not wise master builders until we produce witnesses. The end point of your training is not even just disciples, witnesses, validators of his claim. That someone can say, "I came to Cano. I came to this and that church five years ago, naive, a drunkard, maybe a prostitute, maybe unserious, but I was saved. And as I was saved, I was introduced to the ministry of the Holy Ghost. I was introduced to the ministry of the word and prayer. And then my pastor held my hand and walked me through the journey of structured knowledge, not just random knowledge, structured knowledge. and it produced transformation and with that I encountered the power of the Holy Spirit. I found purpose. This is the reason why the church is weak. One last time, please go back. I'll tell you why the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is weak. Some people are not even part of the church yet. And we don't care. We don't care whether they are saved or not. Then there are a number who are just saved but we are not pushing them beyond this. We are just maintaining them at the gates of infancy. Others have pressed whether by a visionary pastor. Thank God for the ones we have here or by their personal pursuit to the Holy Ghost reading books listening to material because there was nobody to help and mentor them and they finally arrived here to a measure. Others have even pushed by impartations looking for people who can lay hands on them. But the problem is the problem is they don't understand the program of God. They've not been guided to understand their role or God's strategy for execution. If these three areas are corrected, the church in Cano can never be weak. Impossible. Because there are those who will be saving sinners. It is actually everybody's business. But as soon as the sin has come to church, there is a structured program to raise them. Do you know why we are still producing doctors? Because the program to produce them has not failed. You know why we are still producing architects? Because the program has not failed. Is only in the church. We don't have a defined program for raising people. We just teach anything that comes to our minds. And that's why you find out that the people become a reflection of our limitation. No student goes into Bayero University Cano and attends a department of architecture say on Monday and then goes to medicine on Tuesday then goes to art on Wednesday and expects a degree. A degree in what? Your knowledge is not wasted but it was not structured and aggregated. Some of you need to go back and learn prayer properly. You will need it when you go to the crusade ground. It is better to flog it out with God than for demons to embarrass you on the ground. Find out what is not working. Hallelujah. Infancy, transformation, empowerment. Now when you get empowered, the journey does not stop. the journey of purpose. That's really when it truly begins. Let me pray for this gentleman. Grace for you. Fresh grace. Fresh grace. Fresh grace. By the power of the Holy Spirit, you will never be the same in the name of Jesus. Never be the same in the name of Jesus.

Now listen ladies and gentlemen, let me your attention. Do you know? Do you know that most people when they get here the nature of their job description because sometimes and with all due respect we pastors have not taught people well do you know by the time you start here you can start as a congregant you can start as whatever eventually you will start as a prayer group but as all of you are growing you know what happens like students take general courses in university, the one doing architecture, biochemistry, they all do the same course. But as they grow, what happens? They begin to diverge. This is where there's a problem in church. The one who is called to be a prophet, the one who is called to be a kingdom financier, the one who is called to be an architect, the one who is called to be a pastor, the one who is called to be Elijah and Esther, because they all start from the same position. The moment the training changes, we start fighting one another. Not knowing that it is not error, it is that you are being diverged to the place of your unique training. Listen carefully. The guy who is called to be a prophet will find out that there's an unusual grace to pray. An unusual grace to pray. The guy who wants to be a professor will find out that there's an urge for knowledge. Now the one praying will say you are wrong. Come and join me. No, it's an allocation. Listen carefully. If you don't know this, you would distract people. If Elijah mentors Esther, she will not be queen. She will be called Elisha. Are we together now? It matters how you are guided into purpose. There are many people today by now if they were allowed to do to follow their business and grow, they would have been mighty men. and they would have brought the resources for the kingdom because it's more than buying and selling. It was their assignment but we distracted them away. There are people today in banking halls who should be on crusade grounds. So while they in the banking hall they are trying to do crusade there and they are punishing them in the bank because they the grace is crying but vision directed them wrongly. So they are there the blessings asking himself what am I doing with figures here the rest are enjoying the job but this man cannot rest. Let me tell you this this is one of the most sensitive part of this teaching I'm showing you now and then we pray. When you say your kingdom come the reason why his kingdom comes is that his will is allowed to be done. Everywhere his will fails to be done, his kingdom cannot come. The key to God's governing influence finding expression in a territory, the key to making that happen is to execute his will. Not your will. His will. Now, I'm going to use you guys for something else. Eh, at least you've received your own prayer. Watch this. I want to show you something. In this guy's prophetic destiny, for instance, he was designed by God, just as an example, maybe this guy was designed to be a mighty prophet of God. Maybe this guy was designed to be a mighty evangelist. Are we together? Maybe this guy was designed to be to work with the UN and put in policies. Are we together? Now, watch this. Move back. All of you come together. They all start in the same fellowship on campus or they all start in the same place of training. Let's be moving. Are you seeing? We are all praying. We are all fasting. We are all building. But eventually the way God will train this man will be different. Even though it's the same God, the way God will train this man will be different. Now what we need to learn in church is to understand that when a pattern is being used that is not the same as your own, it is still the same God. >> Are we together now? If you mislead people into believing that it is only your pattern, anybody who follows my pattern will become like me. But people like me are not the only ones who are needed in God's program. Are we together now? The way God raises an entrepreneur is different from the way God raises an apostle is very different. It's very different. The way God raises a man, he is going to be teaching the ethics of the palace. As Elijah, you don't need to learn the ethics of the palace because you are going to be shouting, calling down fire. But if you are going to be Joseph, if you are going to be Daniel, you better learn the ethics of the palace. If not, you will not be exalted. In the book of Daniel, in the book of Esther, listen, and in the book of Genesis, all the exaltation came by hiddenistic kings. If you don't know how to treat Pharaoh well, you will not become prime minister. If you don't know how to treat Ahazarus well, you will not become queen. If you don't know how to treat Nebuchadnezzar well, you will not become one of the six presidents. Listen to me. I'm going to pray for you here. Your prayer is to learn the basics of prayer, the word. You see that now? And all the things that bind us all as believers. But as you walk with God, be sensitive to the unique trainings he will begin to introduce into your life. And don't feel guilty. If he places a burden in your heart for business and you know this is not just canality, go for it. Go for it. If he places a unique burden for politics in your heart, it is because the fact that you are the one who loves it unusually is a sign that there is grace there. If everybody becomes a preacher, we are in trouble. Did you hear what I said? If number one, there will not be enough space for everybody to be a preacher like officially a pool pit preacher. But there is room for everyone to be a witness. A witness. This Bible is a combination of Abraham plus Sarah plus Elijah plus Esther plus the disciples. Are you seeing that? All of them together, the Bible calls them elders. They didn't do the same thing. In the book of Esther, there was no woman of God. The woman of God was the queen. The one who represented the purposes of God was queen. Are we together now? Yes. There was no mention of the woman using a sword to fight, but she bettered the program of God. My passion as a man of God is to raise an apostolic community of witnesses, not just preachers, witnesses. So I give people a mindset that when you are a banker, carry the same honor as a man of God carries that honor. If you are a worshipper, don't just see yourself as someone writing songs just to get um likes and shares and earn a living. That earn a living mentality will destroy you. Are we together? Imagine preachers without the worshippers. Right now I am preaching. There's someone behind the camera. Imagine if the guy left his job and tried to be me who will now broadcast me to the world. Cano, don't fight anybody's unique ministry. Respect the individual allocations and appreciate it. The moment that foundation of prayer, that any ministry you have that demands you must ignore prayer, ignore the word, ignore mentorship, ignore service, ignore consecration, that one is of the devil immediately. No matter what God has called you to do, there are certain universal practices that must not be compromised. So don't tell me you are not praying because you are a politician. You are going to be a fake politician that will not even stand the test of time. In fact, the politician even needs to pray more than the man of God because your temptations are visible. A man of God will have a secretary blocking his office. You you are you are directly facing witchcraft. Is someone learning? Please do not insult anybody's ministry. When you find out that God has called someone to the ministry of kingdom financing, if that is not your allocation, appreciate it and respect it. Because one day as you do your own prophetic ministry, that's the guy who will fund your crusades. By the time you insult him and insult relationship, you will stand on that crusade ground and you will not be able to pay for your bills. Everybody will not do the same thing, but everybody will represent his purposes. So I came here to sound a clarion call in Cano. Those who are financial apostles, there is grace for you. Walk out your consecration and rise. Those who are called to be apostles on the pit, prophets on the pit, it's time to walk in integrity. And let me speak to younger ministers who are rising, be mindful who mentors you. Don't get into this campaign of pride and arrogance. Are we together? And then number two, make sure you don't you don't open up yourself to foolish people who don't know what they are doing. They teach you all kinds of deceptive, satanic, manipulative practices. No, you are a victim of such. I don't condemn you, but get out immediately. Have a U-turn with your life. And I'm praying that preachers will not come into your city who will begin to destroy people like wolves. I'm praying that prayer that anybody who enters this city to manipulate and destroy, may the two lift gates of the city reject them. >> Did you hear what I said? That anyone who comes into this city and the job is just to destroy people, manipulate, may the two lift gates of the city reject them. [Applause] Those of you who have a grace for business, go for it. Don't feel bad. Provided it is not ambition. This one is a call. Go for it. Those of you who are watchmen, intercessors, don't let anybody mock you because of your time invested in prayer. Stay there. You are needed. Honor the prophetess is needed so that Jesus arrives. Stay there and pray. [Music] Those of you who are called to be academicians, our universities are waiting for you. Go for the courses. You finish your degree. Go for MSE immediately. Go for PhD immediately. No waiting, no resting. Are we together now? Go for it. [Music] Go for it. This way. You see, we'll be fulfilling the third part of the great commission, territorial transformation. Can I tell you this? There are many people who will not be saved on the crusade ground, but they will come to your hospital if you build one. We do a lot of charity works and we're privileged to have a lot of non-Christians come attend our services even if they don't get saved. They just appreciate it and it's an honor God has given us. But when we call for welfare or medical outreach, servants of the living God, you will be amazed at the tens of thousands of people who come. They know they are not Christians, but their husbands will let them come. There is a way the gospel must be packaged. The gospel must not always be packaged on caller and Mike alone. Sometimes you need to put the gospel inside a bag of rice and serve it. Sometimes you need to put the gospel in between paracetamol and uh come on doctors help me now and serve it is someone learning now you call for welfare here right now and say I mean announce it don't even announce online tell cano there will be bags of rice given by evening you'll be surprised how birds will carry that announcement to everywhere and You find people in the evening because every man's need is his point of contact. And God has raised men to respond to every man's need. Don't fight them while they about doing it. Are we together? Imagine if there's nobody in politics in this city to defend the program of God. You can preach all you can, but one policy can frustrate the church. So, we need men there. While the prayer warriors are praying, the preachers are building, the evangelists are winning, the kingdom financiers are bringing resources, the politicians are helping to defend the program of God. That's what we call kingdom come. Various allocations, doing their duties even though diverse but with the same goal like terrorist. The man who makes the bomb is called a terrorist. The one who blows the people is called a terrorist. The one who funds it is called a terrorist. The one who hides them as a smuggle it is called a terrorist. But they all not everybody will die. But all of them are terrorists. That's how we are. We are all witnesses. The one giving us the songs to use in worship, you are a witness. The preacher who is preaching with integrity, you are a witness. The professor training our children, you are a witness. The bankers keeping our money, you are a witness. the TV broadcaster who is bringing visibility to our sermons. You are a witness. Someone shout, "I'm a witness." >> Shout it. Say, "I'm a witness." >> The woman cooking in the restaurant so that when preachers shout like me, we can go and eat later. You are a witness. Let me tell you this. Hear me. When you have that mentality, you will have the confidence of a preacher even in your restaurant. You will have the confidence of a preacher even in the banking sector. You will not feel guilty. Elohim, thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Hello my don. >> Thy kingdom come, thy will be. >> Hello my don thy kingdom come thy will be. >> I'm going to lead us to pray. And among the many or a few prayers we'll be praying tonight is father show me my place in prophecy. Show me my place. There's no doubt that I'm a witness. But what is the geography of my assignment? I need to know where you have allocated me. If God calls you Elijah, get to prayer immediately. Get there quickly because the prophetic is calling you. If God calls you Esther, begin to know how to package yourself. If God calls you Mary, it's time to stop living carelessly because your womb has an assignment. It is going to carry a savior. Are we together? If God calls you Daniel, you must begin to learn how to have an excellent spirit and to learn the ethics of excellence because to the palace you are going. Daniel was a strange man with a combination of politics and the prophetic >> politics. Don't say you are a Daniel if you are only prophetic. You must be prophetic in government. That's Daniel. Hallelujah. Don't say you are Elijah until you have the boldness to confront power. If you are timid, you are not Elijah. Find someone else. If you are Mary and you want to be known, then you will not be great because Mary was a quiet woman. Her ministry was her womb. The woman who wants to fight for position is not Mary. Uh-uh. Beester but not Mary. Is someone learning now? Cano I pray for you. Whatever has made the church cold, whatever has made the church ineffective from this conference, I sense in my heart that after today some of you by tomorrow you will go to CAC. Go and register that company. It is still ministry. You are being a witness. Go and register the company. Are we together? For some of you by tomorrow your assignment because of the nature of it go to a Christian bookstore and buy books and buy tapes. Start a journey of a retreat. Give yourself timelines of daily prayers, daily consecration because the kind of oil coming on your life versus your current level of training that oil will not come. No sir, you will need to press some more. You will need to press some more. There are some of you because of the nature of your assignment, you have to start praying for a political mentor or a business mentor in addition to a man of God. Someone who can teach you the ethics of the marketplace. One of my dear daughters will say, "You pray in tonesues in the secret place, but you go to the marketplace and interpret what you have said. If you only pray in tonesues and rest there your tongues is not complete. The purpose of the prayer and fasting is to import wisdom to import favor to import knowledge. When you import it you go to the place of visibility society. How has cano changed? Because the church is here. Church of the Lord Jesus Christ begin to engage actively in social welfare programs. Not just preaching, not just miracles. Not everybody needs healing, but everybody needs food. Don't just engage. Don't isolate Muslims and throw them away and say, "Go away." That's wrong theology. That's wrong theology. Don't find yourself fighting. No, that's wrong theology. You never win a people by hatred. That's not how it works. Some of you start with your neighborhood. I'm challenging you. cook a pot of rice one of these days and call all of them and tell them, "Look, I just wanted to show you the love of Jesus. Come and eat. You will be surprised that some of the people you think are hard are not hard. We've only followed the wrong pattern." I was in Zarya for years. So, I'm not speaking like a stranger who is coming from Abuja. I was at the Zaz Emirates myself. We blocked the road for 10 years. The protectors and the defenders were Muslims. because of the way we approach the gospel to them. Emmanuel, God is with us. He shall reign. He shall reign. He shall reign forever more. Emmanuel, God is with us. He shall reign. He shall reign. He shall reign forever more. When there are non-Muslim students partaking of your scholarship programs, that's impact to society. When there are non-Muslim girls, young girls and you come up with social programs founded on kingdom principles but directly attending to them. Don't wait for them to come to church. Take church to them. Rebrand it and take it to them. Start where you are. Don't waste your birthday jumping around and disturbing people on the internet. Convert it to power. Go to an orphanage somewhere and tell them, "I bring you love from Jesus." You'll be surprised. You watch some of them cry because the soul of man cries for its maker. Please hear me. Our society must feel our impact, not just our prayer. It is warfare and wisdom. Don't just bind demons and cast demons alone. Let your society feel your impact. Now you began to walk. Go to the community where you grew up. Ask them to give you two young Muslim girls that probably were about to be thrown somewhere and left without education. The school fees may not be more than 50,000. You can put them on a 100,000 scholarship. Help them. We did a project. were still ongoing back in my village. And one of the things we did was we found those the children of those who play masquerade and do a lot of traditional activities. We gave ourselves a 10-year plan to stop that thing. And what we did was to go and meet the elders and said, "Give us your children. We will train them. But the condition is that we will choose how to train them." And with joy that was taking away the load. We carried the whole children and partnered with the Anglican community. We are rehabilitating those children now and training them in the next 5 years. Those children who would have been idol worshippers now they are getting born again because in 5 to 10 years their parents will go to be with the Lord. Listen, kingdom come is not just prayer and fasting. There is intelligence in execution. The society must feel the impact of the church. Don't leave it for pastors. It is everybody's business.

So don't just leave here with impartation. Don't just fall down and stand up doing nothing. Go and begin to create social programs.

Some of you are intelligent people. Come together as two or three people. Put an empowerment seminar. Put something together. Not just for Christians. Invite everyone. Go to a community. Teach them on ethics. Partner with maybe road safety or whatever organization, an NGO. Partner with them together and say, "We have brought this social program just to transform the people." And they say, "Who is doing this?" So, so church, in conjunction with, you see that now? You mention a system they are used to. In conjunction with EFCC, we are talking to young men how to stay away from drugs. Now you teach them. And then somewhere there, that's where your prayer now comes in.

While you are preparing for the program, the prayer warriors are fasting. The kingdom financiers are supplying money. The preachers are guiding, speaking blessings. The technocrats are bringing wisdom. Are we together? If all we keep doing is falling and standing up in church, a time will come our city will reject us. There will come a generation that will reject Jesus openly. Don't wait for them to come. Go to them. The assignment is, "Go." Not just to tell them to come. Go. We have to find somewhere to pray. Gentlemen, may God honor you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Everybody stand. [Music] Hallelujah.

There are some of you here. The nature of your assignment requires that you have influence. Don't reject it when it comes. Esther, without influence, you cannot rule in the palace. When influence, not everybody will be like Anna the prophetess. If you are Anna the prophetess, you don't need influence. You need a track record with God. That's what is most important. But if you are Esther, make sure you get to the palace because that's where your duty is activated. You see how their locations differ? Look at the human body part. I'm wrapping up now. Look at me, everybody. From basic biology. A woman gets pregnant. Her womb is inside. She brings the baby outside. For a major part, except by the machines, you don't know what is going on inside. Imagine if the woman's womb was on her head. We will not be more than one billion on earth. Some people will just hold the baby and kill the baby there. So God hid it inside.

There are certain allocations because of the nature of your assignment, like the heart. Remember Paul was teaching us this. Like the intestines, the liver, they are hidden. They are hidden does not mean they are weak. They are hidden does not mean they are small. They are hidden means that they have to be in that state to function well. But there are other organs like the skin. It is visible. Are we together now? Watch this. I want to pick my Bible. What part of my body are you going to clap for? But you are wrong. The brain had to allow the hand to do this. The eye had to see it. The feet had to reach. Think of how many other organs. It's only that you are celebrating the one you know. So when you see Joshua Salman come to Kano, you are celebrating the man of God, but you are not celebrating the person who sewed. You are not celebrating the widows that are interceding for the man. You are not celebrating the ones who cook and clean my house. You are not celebrating the ones who drove me. You are not celebrating the security. Are you seeing that everybody deserves that round of applause we receive? That's how it works. That's how it works. That's how it works. You can celebrate a great man of God who is preaching. But how many of you know that if I came here and it was empty? Some of you were here yesterday, you were not disappointed. You still came and by morning you were here. Your time is valuable. When we have this wood, everybody in the kingdom, you will see that we matter. Just because some people are more visible than others does not mean they are better than others. It is simply a matter of assignment. So next time you are celebrating the Joshua Selmans, celebrate what God is doing in our lives, but not at the detriment of the grace He has given you. Because you too, you are great. You too, you are special. You are just different. The heart should not want to be the hand because when you hit someone, it's the hand that feels it first before the heart. So the heart is kept there because it does not have bones. It needs to be careful. When you are not visible, don't be angry and say, "Ah, those who are visible are better than us." No, God kept you there because when certain attacks come, those people have the stamina. Some of you cannot stand persecution. If someone speaks evil of you, you will cry to him forever. Don't pray for visibility. Then just remain like the heart quietly and allow those who have the stamina to endure while they push. Is someone learning now? There are some of you, if they call you Belzebub, you will not preach again. How can they call me Belzebub? Unfortunately, there are certain mandates that is the cross you carry till the day you see His face. [Music] We need to pray. Have you learned anything today? Like kingdom come is a strategic distribution of witnesses who understand God's program and have gone through these transitionings in the spirit from salvation to infancy as believers to transformation to empowerment in ever-increasing dimensions, who understand the structure of God's program alongside His system of execution. That in executing His program, it is not only preachers that are needed. That's why He called us witnesses. Some witnesses are called preachers. Some witnesses are called policemen. Some witnesses are called military men. Some witnesses are called mothers. Some witnesses are called fathers. Some witnesses are called security men. Some witnesses are called bankers. Are we together? Some witnesses are called tailors. Some witnesses are called chefs. But together, what makes you a witness is not the assignment, it's the mentality and the purpose. If it is done God's way and it is to serve God, then you are a witness. Hold hands with someone. Please pray in the spirit in one minute, everybody. Please pray in the spirit in one minute, everybody. Pray in the spirit in one minute. I'm yours, Jesus. I'm yours forevermore. Are you praying? I'm yours, Jesus. I'm yours forevermore. Whatever you want to do, Lord, you can do through me. Whatever you want to say, pray, Lord. You can pray through me. Whatever you want to give, Lord, you can give through me. I'm made yours, Jesus. I'll be yours forevermore. I'm yours. [Music] Your [Music] >> Prayer point number one. I'd like you to pray for all the preachers who serve the grace of God in Kano. From the depth of your heart, lift up your voice and say, "Father, keep them from the fathers of faith to the younger ones coming." Go ahead and pray. Ministry with integrity. Come on, Kano, is this how you pray? Open your mouth and pray seriously. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for all the preachers, all the preachers, the men and women who serve Your grace in this land. Keep them, oh God. Raise help for them. Raise support for them. Pray beginning from Living Faith here for graciously giving us the auditorium. Spread it across every other church, every other prayer group, every other fellowship. Please pray from your heart. Father, we pray that the spirit of error, the spirit of deception will not find a place in the church in Kano in the name of Jesus. Keep all the fires of faith. Keep them strong. Keep them powerful. Keep them strong. Keep them powerful. Keep them visionary. Keep them going. They will survive every temptation. They will survive every assault of darkness. Encourage their ministries. In Jesus name we pray.

Second prayer point. I'd like you to pray for the souls that need to be saved in Kano. Father, we intercede in one minute. We cry, everybody ordained to be part of the fold. We send the angels as reapers and we take responsibility as co-reapers to see through it that many come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Open your mouth and pray. Open your mouth and pray. The business of salvation is everyone's business. There are evangelists. There are missionaries. But everyone must be part of the work of salvation. Go ahead and pray. [Music] In Jesus name we pray. In Jesus name we pray. >> You're going to pray for yourself. Father, the grace to be consistent in prayer, the grace to be consistent in the study of the word, the grace to be a man or a woman of character, not one leg in, one leg out, the grace to be on fire. I receive that grace. Open your mouth and pray. Please be serious. Pray. Pray. The grace to be a man of prayer. The grace to be a woman of prayer. Are you praying? The grace to be a student of the word, to sit down and learn doctrine, to learn the ways of God. The grace to be a believer with character, solid character. [Music] I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace in the name of Jesus that the fire upon my altar will not go down. No going back. No going back. Going upwards. Going higher. Going forward. Making progress spiritually. In Jesus name we pray.

Three more prayer points quickly. Now you're going to pray. Every attack on the prophetic word over my head, every attack over God's program for my life, every attack to destroy my life, to destroy my integrity, I come against you by the blood. Open your mouth and pray. Every gang up of hell, every conspiracy, if you are a preacher, pray this seriously. Every gang up of hell fighting your integrity, fighting your life to push you to a place of compromise. Pray every yoke of ancestry, every connection with darkness, fighting your rising, fighting your emerging, fighting your getting a job, fighting your having children, fighting your marital destiny. Pray in the name of Jesus. I come against you in the name of Jesus. I come against you in the name of Jesus by the blood. Satan, the Lord rebuke you. Satan, the Lord rebuke you. Satan, the Lord rebuke you. Pray for yourself. Pray for your siblings. Pray for your job. Every attack, every gang up, every conspiracy to plant sickness in your body, cancer, any kind of demonic thing, the spirit of death that you will die by accident or you will die from the wickedness of men. Come against it in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. [Music]

Next prayer point. Say unto Accupus that thou take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord that thou fulfill it. You are going to pray for yourself. Father, the mandate You have placed on my life, it will not fail. I will not fail. The mandate You have placed to be a witness on the pulpit, it will not fail. Oh, I will not be a bad testimony that at the end of my life, I will not be used as a negative memorial that people will not use my life to warn others. Open your mouth and pray. The mandate on my life, I will not fail. You've given me a mandate as a preacher, I will not fail. Come on, pray. Worshippers, you have given me a mandate as a prophetic psalmist. I will not fail. I will bring songs from the spirit to my generation. You have given me a mandate as a kingdom financier. I will contend for financial empowerment and bring the resources to the house of God. You have given me a mandate as a mother. I will not fail. You have given me a mandate as a father. I will not fail. [Music] In Jesus name we pray.

Final prayer point and I speak over you and we're done. Now listen to me. Gatherings like this are always opportunities for God to step in over your life. How many of you believe that? >> Hear me. You are going to pray now for the next two minutes. I don't know what has mocked God in your life. I don't know what has not allowed you to be a Christian indeed. But I'm releasing my faith with you. For the next 2 minutes, open your mouth and cry unto God. Take this reproach away from my life. Go ahead and pray. Some of you, it's sickness. Take this reproach away from my life. Naaman was a captain of the Syrian army. He was a great man, valiant in war, but he was leprous. Take this reproach. Someone pray. Pray. Pray. Take this reproach. [Music] This poverty in this family, keeping us down, keeping us begging, keeping us borrowing. Lord, the grace to roll this reproach away. You are a preacher and there's no growth. Go ahead and pray. Take this reproach away. You're a young man, but you are dealing with addictions and you don't know how to help yourself. Take this reproach away. Some of you, you are praying for fresh fire, fresh grace, fresh power. One minute, make sure you pray. Lord, visit me. Lord, visit me. Turn my captivity around. Give me a change of story. Prepare for the feast of fat things. Roll every reproach. Bring honor to my life. Restore dignity. Thou, oh Lord, art a shield for me. You are my glory. You are the lifter up of my head. Lord, I cry unto You. Show me mercy. 10 seconds. You are praying. You are praying. Preserve my testimony. Give me a job for Your glory. Open my eyes for Your glory. Anoint my head for Your glory. Give me children for Your glory. Give me a good spouse for Your glory. Advance my life for Your glory. [Music] In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus glorious name we pray. >> I'll speak over your life. That will be my final assignment. But give me a minute to make the altar call very quickly. You're in this place. Let me have your attention. And on hearing me teach, the Holy Ghost began to convict your heart. He began to speak to you very deeply and personally. For some of you, the Holy Ghost has impressed it strong upon your heart that it's time to begin a fresh journey with Jesus. I'm not asking you if you've been around church. I'm not asking you if you bear a Christian name or a Christian surname. I'm not even asking you if you're a worker in church or if you joined the workforce for the conference. I'm asking you if you know Jesus. You see, you cannot serve a God you don't love. And you cannot love a God you don't know. It starts with knowing Him, then you love Him, then you serve Him. Hallelujah. There are many of you here who want to make it right with Jesus. You're saying, "Apostle, if you will give me an opportunity, please, before you leave me to this Jesus, the one who's produced great men, the one who is able to produce an enviable destiny out of any man." For God so loved the world, the Bible says, that He gave His only begotten Son. It says, "Whosoever," that includes you, "that if you believe in Him, you should not perish but have life everlasting." You've seen people under the anointing. You've seen the power of God and the gifts of the Spirit at work, but you need Jesus. Jesus is not a gift of the Spirit. He is the Savior. I introduce to you, and for some, I reintroduce to you, Jesus, the one who came as an expression of the love of the Father, died for your sin, shed His blood to purchase redemption for you. Now, you can choose to reject Him honestly, but the Bible says, "As many as received Him." May you be part of those many. "As many as received Him." I'm going to count one to five. I'm looking for someone who is bold and serious across the balcony, outside, in the main auditorium. As I count one to five, you need Jesus. Leave your seat quick. Come and stand before me here. I begin my counting. One. Let's celebrate them as they come. [Music] Two, by now you shouldn't be thinking about you. You know if you need Jesus, run, come to Him. Three, [Music] [Music] I belong to Jesus. I'm never going back. Never going back. [Music] And [Music] I can take all my I belong to Jesus. I'm never going back. I'm never going back. I belong to Jesus. I'm never going back. >> One more time. I belong to Jesus. I'm never going back. [Music] >> I belong to Jesus. I'm never going back. Never going back. [Music] Let's celebrate God for a harvest. [Music] Celebrate Jesus for a harvest. Some of you are crying. Don't be ashamed of your tears. You are before Jesus, the Savior of your soul. Look at me, my beloved brothers and sisters. And that includes those who are following online. You may be following online. You may not be here on site. But I want you to know that as I lead these precious ones in this prayer of salvation, make sure you join them too. But let me have your attention for one moment. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the wisest decision I know that any man can make in this side of God's kingdom. The decision to be educated is a wise one, but without Jesus, it becomes foolish. The decision to grow and be rich is a wise one, but without Jesus, it ends up being foolish. The decision to live a healthy life and live in a healthy body is a wise one, but without Jesus, it ends up being foolish. What gives value to every other decision in life is that you have your foundation as Jesus. And this you have chosen. And on behalf of Jesus and the leadership of the PFN, I salute and congratulate you for this noble decision. Hallelujah. This prayer with me, but please don't pray it as though reciting a poem. Let it be from the depth of your heart. Let me request that you lift your right hand. Lift it high. I want to see it lifted high above your head. Now say this as loud as you can and as clear as you can. Say, "Lord Jesus." >> Lord Jesus. >> Again, like you're serious. Say, "Lord Jesus, >> Lord Jesus, >> I have heard Your word. >> I have heard Your word. I love You. >> I love You >> with all my heart. >> with all my heart. >> I believe >> I believe >> You are the Son of God. >> You are the Son of God. >> I believe >> I believe >> You died for my sin. >> I believe >> I believe >> You rose again >> for my justification. Right now. >> I receive Jesus as my >> into my heart. >> into my heart, >> as my savior, >> as my >> as my lord >> as my lord >> and as my king. I declare >> I declare >> that the power >> and the power >> of sin >> of sin >> Satan >> hell >> and the grave >> is broken >> over my life >> from today >> and forever. >> I live for Jesus. >> Amen. >> Keep your hands lifted. Father, thank You. Your word declares that as many who will come to You, You will in no wise cast away. These many have come declaring Your Lordship over their lives. By the authority of scripture, I declare their sins forgiven. And I decree and declare in the name that is above all names that upon your profession of faith, I call you by faith, born recipients of the life of God. I decree and declare that the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is yours. From today, you are recipients of the life of God and the grace to live the victorious life is hereby imparted upon you. You go forward ever and backward never, and it's in Jesus precious name we have prayed. >> Now listen please. I want you to do me a favor. There are a number of you, so I'd like you to move very carefully. No matching on one another. Do it gently. There are counselors. I see some waving their hands by my right and that will be your left. Please all of you, would you do me a favor to just follow these people? They will have your details, perhaps hand you over a card. Afterwards, you will be back to your seat. Let's honor them as they go. Come on, Kano. This is You can do better than this. Celebrate them. Keep clapping. Those moving, move fast. Move fast. Are you tired of celebrating salvation? Hallelujah. Now unto the Lamb upon the throne. We raise a sound. We raise a sound. Now unto the Lamb upon the throne. We raise the sound. We raise the sound. >> For He's God and God alone. For He is God and God alone. Hallelu. Hallelu. [Music] >> For He is God and God alone. >> For He is God and God alone. Hallelu. Hallelu. >> In the name that is above all names. I decree and declare anyone who came here sick in your body and plagued by any demonic assault by the power that raised Christ from the dead, I speak to you, be healed now. From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, be healed now. [Music] Be healed now. I speak over your life because you came here. I speak over your October, your November, your December. I call them months of signs and wonders. Months of signs and wonders. Months of signs and wonders. Supernatural breakthroughs for you in the name of Jesus. I stand in partnership with the graces of the fathers in this land and I declare over you every door that has refused to open from January till now, October, I speak to that door, be opened now. Doors of opportunity be opened now. Doors of jobs be opened now. Doors of advancement be opened now. Let me speak over someone who has had a rough year. It looks like Pharaoh has pursued you even though you've left Egypt. Here is a word for you. These Egyptians you see today, in the name that is above all names, you will see them no more forever. You will see them no more forever. You will see them no more forever. I declare wisdom on your life. I declare favor on your life in the name of Jesus. Everyone ordained by God to help you in this season, wherever they are in Kano or across this nation or around the world, I gravitate them to your destiny. Shall not die. Every appointment you have with death is hereby cancelled in the name of Jesus Christ. You have honored Jesus and you have honored me. Every embargo of reproach over your life, I roll it away forever. I pray for the PFN in Kano in the name of Jesus. From glory to glory. From grace to grace. I pray for the youth arm. Glory to glory. Grace to grace. Let the fire on your altar keep burning. Let your knowledge of the word keep growing and you will keep seeing results in your life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Shout amen seven times. 3 4 5 6 7 Give Jesus all the praise. Thank you very much, Kano. May God bless you in Jesus name. [Music]
