The Deliverance of the head. I see whoever in Matthew. Oh Lord, help me. Lord, help me. Open, open your two hands. I see, I see a wind blowing here. Open your two hands. Say, "Father, correct my head." I can hear you. Say, "Father, correct my head. Correct my head." One more time. Say, "Father, Father, correct my head. Correct my head."
Take your seats. In Matthew 6, verse 17, it said, "When you fast, anoint your head." Because your head is the symbol of acceptance. In Psalm 23:5, he said, "Thou anointest my head with oil." My cup. No battle is complete without the deliverance of the head, or the severance. In 1 Samuel 17, if you read verse 51, after David had killed Goliath, watch me. Watch me. Look up, look up, look up. Oh boy, watch this. Watch this. I not get another work now. This one, if I not, if I not know, I'm something is wrong somewhere. Now, Saul, Saul, this thing is just so much wait. Saul, wait. Saul told David, he said, "Take my sword." David said, "I cannot move." Number one, I cannot use this because I not proven them. That was Saul's sword. After he killed Goliath, he carried Goliath's sword. Somebody who could not use the sword of a 5-foot man carried the sword of a 9-foot man. Don't commonize yourself. You don't know what you can do until you see battle. You don't know you can fast until you see battle. You don't know you can go forward until you see battle. Ladies and gentlemen, the battles of life, they come to bring out the giant in you. The battles of life, they come to bring the champion in you. And the Bible says David, verse 51 of 1 Samuel 17, he cut off Goliath's head. Verse 54, he took the head to his house. Because when you have the head, you have the glory. That is why the enemy has tempered with some people's head. But I want to prophesy in the next 25 minutes as I am preaching here, wherever they tempered with your head, whether in your family, whether in your hometown, God is about to respond. God is about to respond. Somebody said, "My head, my head." You will not reject prophecy. You will not reject prophecy. Say, "My head, my head." You will not reject prophecy. You will not reject prophecy. My head, my head, my head, my head, my head, my head, my head, my head, my head. You will not reject prophecy. You will not re-prophecy. Lift your words and shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I am. Take your seat. Your head. When men are to be blessed, the blessed hands are laid for three reasons. I'm going to do this thing. I'm just walk this out very fast. Can I go on? Oh, you know, you know God, God is a very strategic God. Anytime, any when you have a problem, now, for example, you have a problem. It is not actually a problem, it's a setup. God knows how to set up people. A woman, a widow woman, had an only son, and she was to eat and die. It was not a problem, it was a setup. Because here comes a prophet who needed to eat also. God brought two of them together. And there were three or four things, several things I picked from that. But let me give you three. The encounter Elijah, Elijah, Elijah had with that woman. Three. The first thing I saw, that woman thought she had a need. No, it was not a need. Anytime you have a personal need, look for a need in God's house, meet that need, and God meets your need. Number two, she wanted to eat that meal and die. In other words, the meal could not take care for the next day. Anything that can meet all your needs is a seed. If that your bank account cannot buy your car, cannot buy your land, and you want a land, it cannot change your car, and you want a car, it cannot pay your rent, and you want your rent paid, it is a seed. Number three thing I saw there. Am I too fast? I'm too fast. Go and buy the CD. Number three. You hear this now. The Bible says that this woman was a widow, and she told Elisha. He said, "We want to eat and die." Elijah said, "Make for me first." Can I shock you? That was a test of attitude. Attitude. Because somebody would have said, "Prophet, are you mad?" When God wants to bring a new helper, you must cultivate a new attitude. Your last help has stopped because your attitude stopped. Every change of character brings fresh helpers. Talking. Can I, can I talk to you please? I'm trying. I've been preaching back to back, so allow me just do this thing gradually. Just let me try and just work this out a little bit. I can, I'm doing the best I can. Now, now, three reasons where the head. Number one, in the head, you have the eyes. In the head, you have what? The eyes. Why did they cover Lazarus's face? Because that is where his head was located. Why was his head a target? Because his eyes were planted on his head. Ladies and gentlemen, there are many families today that have kept people in bondage by affecting their vision. When a man's vision is affected, the man's life is truncated. The Bible says in, in, in Deuteronomy 34, I think verse 7, speaking of Moses, it says, "His eyes were not dim, and his natural force was not abated." Now, now, I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor, but I think I, I know a little about English. He says, "His eyes were not dim, and his natural force was not abated." No, something is wrong because you shouldn't connect the eye to the force. You should connect the health to the force. If you say his eyes were not dim, the next thing that should come with that, he could see clearly. I don't, if you say his eyes, you're not dim, the next thing you will say is that he could. Am I correct, doctor? Is that he did not need a guide? But he said his eyes are not dim, his natural force. That's deep and spiritual. It means a man's sight is what gives force to his life. It is vision that gives force to existence. If a man has no vision, he has no driving force. When a man's vision is affected, the man is truncated. The devil has affected people's vision so that he can affect their force. When a man's force is affected, his motion is affected. When a man's force is affected, his speed is affected. There are many of you looking at me now, there is a vision for your life, but because you have not discovered that vision, you cannot manifest in the vision for your life. Even if God has a vision for you, if you don't see that vision, then the vision of God will not manifest. You must see the vision that God has for you. I came by the help of God to open somebody's eyes. You will no more be blind. Your eyes will be open. Sit down. To have eyes that have no vision, to have eyes that have no power, for sight is an offense to the eye. Matthew 5:29. "If thy right eye offend thee, what do you do?" It's in your Bible. It's an offense. A wise man came to Nigeria. An Indian man went around Nigeria. After two months, he said, "Nigeria is so blessed that people can literally pick money from the street." He said, "But Nigerians are so blind that they cannot see." Your vision. You must have a personal vision for your life. And that is that vision you do not expose on time. Now, let me tell you something about, you know, the problem of David. As Joseph, I've told us severally, that he announced a vision and a dream, a dream that he did not even understand. You must, your secret. The secret of your life is the vision of your life that nobody knows. Now, now, how many of you have a phone? You have handset. Raise your hand. Everybody. Okay, everybody. I was preaching abroad. I said to them, I said, "Moses was using Android phone." That's why the Bible say Moses came down from the mountain with two tablets. I said, "But he broke it because he doesn't, he didn't know how to use it." That's right. That's a joke. That's a joke. There must be something that your neighbor doesn't have that you have that makes you stand out. My God. We remain the same when we see the same. We remain on the same spot when we see the same thing. When I see ahead of you, I go ahead of you. When I see what you don't see, I get what you don't have. When I see the mountain, I leave you in the valley. When I see something about tomorrow, I walk naturally into tomorrow. I pray for you today that your eyes will see what your neighbors cannot see. Your eyes will see what your friends cannot see. Lift your words and shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Matthew chapter 6, verse 22. The Bible say, "The lamp of the body is the eye." "If the eye is single, thy whole body shall be full of light." The enemy attacks your head because of this component. You can see a legless body. You can see a handless body. But you cannot see a headless body. The enemies affect your head because of your sight. There is something about you that is specially customized for you. But the powers of your father's house have not allowed you to see that thing about you that is designed for you. But I came in the name of Jesus to open your eyes. After now, you will begin to see clearly. After now, you will discover your potential. After now, you will walk into your rest. Lift your hands and shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Listen. John, the beloved. John, the beloved. John chapter 7, verse 39. On the last day. Somebody say, "The last day." Of the feast, the great day of the feast. Verse 39. You said, "And Jesus said, 'Whosoever test.'" He said, "Go back to verse 38." Verse 38. "He that believeth on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." Now come to 39. He said, "This spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive." He that believeth on me. It was John that wrote it. John was witnessing it. He said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." This spake him of himself. Hey. Meaning, in his belly, there was river of living water. For John, how do I know? Go to John 19:34. John chapter 19. He said, "This spake of them that should believe on him." John 19:34. "But one of the soldiers pierced his pierced a spear by his side, for with came water and blood." This was the water that they that believed on him should receive. Move to verse 35. Move to 35. He say, "And he that saw it bear record." Who was it? John. The same John that was in that wedding on that last day of the feast. He said, "And the record is true, and he said that he might believe." So Jesus knew what he had inside of him that there was water and blood. It was not just a ruptured heart. It knew there was water flowing. So 12 chapters before this time, he gave a prophecy that inside of him there was water, living water, and them that believe will receive. And 12 chapters later, as they pierced him, it was not a disease that came out, it was water that is spoke about that they that believe should receive. Why did the blood come out first? Ladies and gentlemen, it's supposed to have been water mixed with blood. But this time, he said, "Blood came out first, water now came out." How can blood be separate from water? It was prophetic. It means for this water that is coming from inside, for it to satisfy you, first, his blood must wash you. So when the blood washes you, then the water will satisfy you. When the blood purifies you, the water will satisfy you. When the blood cleanses you. Oh Lord, help me. Holy Ghost. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I preach here? When the blood that speaketh better things than the blood of Abel, when that blood washes you, then the water, the Holy Ghost, can satisfy you. I came to prophesy that the blood of Jesus, when it cleanses you today, then the water will satisfy you. Lift your hands and shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Holy Ghost, help me. Holy Ghost. He said to Abraham, "Lift up your eyes." "As far as the eye can see." You don't conclude on a man that still has power for sight. Many visions have been affected because there is a napkin. When you get to a point in your life when you don't know what to do, why do people contemplate suicide? Somebody, um, somebody sent me an SMS. I was in Johannesburg, and somebody sent me an SMS. He said, "I'm about to take my life. Pray for my soul." And he's one of those movie people. So I called the line and I said, "Is this a script?" "Oh, it's real life." "It's real life. I want to die." I said, "Okay, what do you have?" "Do you have a car?" "Yes." "Said, do you have money in your account?" "Small." "Said, do you have clothes? How many shoes?" Let me give you an assignment. Those of you here, let me give you an assignment. Can I give you? When you get home, take a pen and a paper. Everything you have, itemize your toothbrush. Write it. Put the amount by the side. Your shoe, all your shoes. Wait, don't laugh. Itemize it. Your clothes. Itemize your plasma, your generator, your weave on. Some of you have like 10. Itemize them. Then total. You will see how rich you are. Then you will understand that your bank account is not what defines your humanity. Many of you are worth over a million naira. Some of you, you are worth over 500,000. Itemize what you have, and you will see that you are a rich person. There may be no money in the bank. So I said, I said to her, I said, I said to her, "Where is the car?" "What brand?" She told me. "What about this? What about that? What about that?" She mentioned everything. I said, "How many toothbrushes do you have?" "He said, Daddy, I want to die. You asking me about toothbrushes?" I said, "Just tell me." He said, "Four." "How many toothpastes do you have?" "He said, two." I said, "How much a toothbrush?" He told me. "How much space?" Told me. I said, "You want to die?" I said, "Yes." "And how many shoes?" He said, "I'm 30." I said, "You have weave on, how many?" He said, "Seven." You have this, you have that. So we started calculating, calculating. He said, "Let me get my other phone to calculate." I said, "Oh, you two phones." Got to calculate. But we calculated, was about 1.8 million. I said, "What do you want to die now?" She said, "Because I'm broke. I just did my birthday. No friend came. I did this. Nothing came. I did that. Nothing came." I said, "And you have 1.8 million?" Say, "Yes." I said, "Now I'm giving you 24 hours. Sell those things. Send the money to me and die." You don't know what you are. You are worth more than a bank account. Your bank account does not define your humanity. You have money in the bank or no money in the bank, it's not what defines your life. You are more than your condition. You are more than your situation. Am I communicating to somebody right now? What can you see? Martin Luther King said, "I've stood upon the mountains and my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." I stood upon the mountains, my eyes have seen. You see, I, I see in a time where the blacks and the white will be seated, when my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I see. What do you see? What do you see? The enemy has affected many of you looking at me now. You have no vision for your life because there is a power from your father's house fighting your vision. Can I close now? Deliverance of the head. The first reason the head is affected is because of what? The eyes. The eyes. The eyes. The eyes. Number two, the second reason the head is affected is because of the mouth. The mouth. Out. The mouth. Habakkuk 2:1. "I will stand upon my watch and see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer." After you see, you must say. The eyes is vision, but the mouth is expression. Write this down. What you visualize but don't verbalize, God can't actualize. What you visualize, vision, but you don't verbalize, God can't actualize. Can I go on? The mouth. Now, let me show you something. Am I, am I wasting your time? Now, watch this. In Mark 11:23, right? He said, "For I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that those things which he say it, not pray it, say it." We have many people praying, but few people saying. The Bible say, "He shall have whatever he sayeth, not whatever he prayeth." Meaning, some people leave the place of prayer and begin to say something contrary to their prayer. So what you are saying should be in line with what you are praying. I wish I could. You know, sometimes when I preach or I give a word, a revelation, and you're excited. If only you know, that's 10%. If you can get it the way it came to me. He said, "He shall have whatever he sayeth." So when I finish praying in church, and I get back home, and my landlord tells me, "You this bloody tenant." I said to my landlord, "The riches of the Gentile is laid up for the just. I am not a tenant, I'm a landlord." So when my pastor prays for me and he says, "I am healed." I get back. My doctors say, "I have cancer." But I say to my doctor, "I don't have cancer, because I shall have what I say." So it doesn't matter what anybody says, what you say is what you get. Your mouth is to say. Help me tell your neighbor, say something. I don't know the name your friends may have called you that you never do well, but you can say to yourself, "I am unstoppable. I am increasing." Tell your neighbor, say something. Maybe in your office, they say you can never be promoted, you are going to remain on one spot. But you can make a decree and say, "You see double promotion." Tell your neighbor, say something. Say something. One time, one time. Listen, I want you to. I'm taking my time because I want you to have something to write. So I'm taking my time. I'm taking my time. I want to have something right. Take your seat. I was in Port Harcourt, I was in Port Harcourt preaching some years ago, and I began to tell the people, "Go back to where you were rejected." A young boy was rejected. Went for an interview in a bank. And he went back to the bank. The bank is owned by a man, a popular man, who also has a telecommunication company. And he went to the bank and stood by the gate. It was raining. He saw a convoy of cars, and they began to apply their own, but nobody was opening the gate. So what happened? He opened the small gate, went inside, and opened the big gate. So the convoy of cars drove in. And they were in the car. He saw an umbrella by the gate and stand. He opened it. Was waiting for it to come out. The owner of the company, who also has a telecommunication company, came out. He covered the man. He came for an interview that was not scheduled. He just came. And while he covered the man, the owner of the bank started shouting, "You workers left me outside, and you are inside now? You bringing one home, bloody come on, go and call your manager." He was confused because he was not a worker there. He came for an interview that is scheduled for himself. So the man said, "Stupid boy, you waited outside, and you saw us for a long time. How did you start walking here in the first place?" He was confused. So he helped the man, covered him. The man went upstairs. He was to go back. Said, "Will you follow me? Office hours. You are outside." And he was following him. And when he got upstairs, when he got upstairs, he said, "Where's the manager?" They said, "The manager came out." Said, "Sorry, sir." He said, "You mean only this staff knew that we were downstairs?" He said, "Staff, staff." Said, "Shut up. That's how you people do nonsense. Where is the accountant?" The accountant didn't come. What to 10? He didn't come. And you, you were outside. What do you do? He said, "I don't, I don't work here." "You are not working here? What do you study?" "Banking and Finance." He said, "Go to the accountant's seat now. Go to the accountant's now." What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? Wait a one minute. Wait a one minute. Listen, listen. God will not speak for you. Wait, wait, wait, wait. God will not speak for you. In Genesis chapter 3, the Bible says, "And God brought all the animals to Adam to see what he will call them." Not what God will call them, what he will call them. And whatever he called them. Come on, Holy Ghost. And whatever is call them, that is what it was. What do you call what you see? What do you call your business? What do you call your future? What do you call your marriage? What do you call your talent? That talent will take you around the world. What do you call the oil on your head? One day, listen. One day I sat down in my house and I began to say to myself, "Over 10 years ago, I America is waiting for me. London is waiting for me. Canada is waiting for me. Europe is waiting for me." I began to call nations, calling those things that be not as though they were. Romans chapter 10, from verse 8. "They say, 'What say it the word is nigh thee, even in thy heart, and in thy mouth.' That is the word of faith which we preach. For if thou shall believe the Lord Jesus, he said, and that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For scripture has said, 'Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.' For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. For how shall they call on him on whom they do not believe? How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher? How shall they preach except they are sent? For as it is written, 'Blessed are the feet of those that preach the gospel of peace, that bring glad tidings of good things.'" What do you say? "For if thou shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and cast into the sea, thou shall have." Come on, Jesus. Lord, what do you say? "I am unstoppable." What do you say? "I am in charge." What do you say? "I am taking over." What do you say? "I am coming on. I am coming on." Come on, Holy Ghost. Coming on. I am coming on. I am able. Take your seat. Listen, listen. The Bible says, "Whatsoever you bind on earth." Does that tell you something? "Whatever you loose shall be." Now, watch this. In issues of life, scripted, scripted before you were born, it is the spiritual that determines the physical. But in issues of utterance, it is the physical that determines the spiritual. What you bind on earth is bound. So it is Earth that determines what heaven binds. It's like a comparison. It's like a comparison. You've got to be perfect in utterance, upright in life, good, holy, righteous, but perfect in declaration. Proverbs 2:21. Proverbs 2:21. I'm wasting your time. "For the upright shall dwell in the land, but the perfect shall remain in it." Lord, oh Lord, help me. "The upright shall dwell in the land, but the perfect shall remain in it." No, no, I like the Bible. Let's close that. Let's close that. The upright dwell is dwelling may be temporal, sir. But the perfect remain, his dwelling is permanent. In utterance, that is why I want to give you a counsel. Don't say what you see. Say what you want to see. You didn't get me. When we are the Bacher, Bacher, very Bacher, us. We under the Bacher, but we under the Bacher, or we in the Bacher, or at the Bacher. How many of you, how many of you in the Bacher with us? You were worshiping with us in the Bacher members at the Bacher. Raise your hand. Those who are members. When we in the Bacher, of course, yeah. Bacher, long bench. You remember? How many of you members then? You around? Okay, take your. Don't put your hand down. Don't worry. Put your hand down. We at the Bacher. If you notice at the Bacher, when I preach, I'll get to the, I walk in the crowd. I'm preaching. I'll go towards the back. I'll be shouting, "You don't serve a dead God!" At the back, people were behind. At the end of the service, I saw two ladies came to my office. Young ladies. And one said, "Tell them now." The other said, "No, control your mouth." Said, "Come, tell them." No. Said, "Tell pastor." "Tell them." So I was, the office was small, so I was hearing them. Said, "Tell them." He said, "Wait, you tell him." "Don't be waiting, caros. Come here. Tell him." He said, "May you talk now?" He said, "More." They go. He said, "No, small." They start. So I now said, "What?" They start. "Sorry, Daddy, Daddy. If you, they preach, you will leave here. People day, you will they go road. Daddy, people they talk. People they talk." See that. So I said, "Oh, you mean say are the C?" Said, "No, no, no, no, no. But that the thing be say, if this they do person, person they know." And she, I, I was trying to understand. He said, she said, "They beg because they touch us. They touch us. They touch us. They touch us. They stay for front, not the." And I said to her, "And they see crowd?" "I'm seeing people that you can see. I'm seeing a crowd. I'm seeing thousands that you can't see." Hold on. She now turn to the other one. She not tell you. I not tell you say the thing don't start. I'm not tell you say don't start. And don't start. You don't know. Don't know. You don't know. Keep quiet. You don't know. The thing don't start. You don't know say they see. You see anything? Say what you want to see. Don't say what you see. Enter your shop and say, "I see goods everywhere." Enter your house, say, "Look at generators, look at plasma TV set." Say what you want to see. Don't close your mouth. Listen. How many of you know in the natural life, when you close your mouth for too long, it starts smelling? The reason your life is smelling is because your mouth is closed. Those of you are medical doctors, Dr. Elliot is here. I'm sure the other medical personnel, when a person is sick, and the person can still speak, there is still hope. But when a person is sick, and the person stops talking, it becomes a critical case. The reason life is treating you as a critical case is because you are not speaking. The reason life is treating you unfairly is because you are not talking. Begin to say what you want to see, and not what you see. I prophesy with this mouth that I used to pray, as you hear the sound of my voice, God will give expression to your vision. Honey, I think one of the days you preach, you need to bring some letters I wrote to you in C and read it out. I think so. To bring them. They see the kind of things I was saying were heavy. 1998. Heavy, heavy words. 18 years ago. Heavy. They didn't look like the writer. You showed your sister. They didn't look like the writer. Heavy. When I tell brethren that my wife married me because I didn't have anything, they start telling ladies, "You see, you see a p..." Didn't have. I had vision. Don't say because I say marry man who is broke, you not marry man that is even broke in his vision. He may be cash broke, but it should not be vision broke. Vision is an expression. Take your seat. Take your seat. Can I go on? Am I blessing you? See, see, see. When they took his hair, Sam's hair, they knew if they don't take out his eyes, they now watch this. In Judges chapter 16, if you get to verse 21, he say, "And they took out his eyes, and they made him grind." They gave him a grinding machine in the prison. Watch me. They took out, yeah, this man, they took out his eyes, which was his vision, and they made him grind in the prison, which was their vision. So if they can take out your vision, they will put you in their vision. God help me to preach to people. Help me to preach. Lord, help me to preach. Last Sunday, somebody sent me a text and said, "You don't have a church, you have a Bible school. He said, those your members, I pray their brain doesn't blow, say because what you preach on Sunday is not for members, it is too high." So God help me. I don't know how. I don't know how to explain. I saw a lady who came for prayers, and I said, "I listen in church." You said, "One pray me, I go." I say, "Why? What you preach high?" I see. That's why you don't come. He said, "The confused person." Oh my God. Help me, Holy Ghost. Can I go on? Number three. The first is the eyes. Second is the mouth. That third is the ears. These are the three sensitive and strategic placements in the head. The eye is for vision. The mouth, expression. The ear, for what direction are you ready? When you have a vision and you have an expression, you need a direction so that the vision and the expression can get to fruition. When you have one of the greatest problems people have, and that is why Peter got angry in the book of John, I think 18:20 or 20:18, I can't remember now. He, and Peter brought out a sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant called Malchus. Who was called Malchus? Malchus, the meaning of Malchus is a counselor in Greek. But in Hebrew, it means a poosa. A poosa is somebody who is interested in issues that don't concern him. But the issues are, they gather information with their ears. So Simon took the sword and said, "Your ear is the strength of your life," and cut off his ear. And you know, Jesus took back the ear and did what? He did what? Fixed it like a socket. Do you know why I did that? Let me tell you why I did that. Why I put the ear back. In the Jewish custom, if you attack a Jewish soldier and it bleeds, blood comes out, they would kill you on the spot. So as Peter cut off that ear, and of course, you know, there will be blood, Peter would have been killed on the spot, and Peter would have died before Jesus, instead of Jesus dying for Peter. So Jesus took the ear, put it back. In other words, even if you say it cut off my ear, no evidence to cancel the evidence, eliminate the argument, cancel the evidence, eliminate the arguments. I believe God for a kind of anointing that's about to hit people in this place, that their spiritual ears will open. That was why when Mary, among those, when Mary went to the tomb with Mary Magdalene, and the angel said to them to go and wait for the promise, and they were among those who were in the Upper Room that the Holy Ghost visited. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was among those who waited, waited, waited for over 40 days for the release of the Holy Ghost. She was patient to wait because she remembered a time when she had to wait for nine months, not knowing what she was carrying. Waited for nine months. Her womb was growing, yet she had no encounter with man. But she was waiting. She has been used to waiting to carry Jesus. So waiting to get the Holy Ghost was no more an issue. She spent time to tarry in Jerusalem until she was endued with power. One of the greatest mistakes people have is that even when God is speaking, you are still making mistakes because you cannot hear. Even when God is talking to you, you are still making mistakes, but you cannot hear. Matthew chapter 13, from verse 13 to 15, it says, "Hearing they hear not, seeing they see not." These are people who, hearing, they don't hear. Seeing, they don't see. He say, "And neither can they understand." There are people here whose ears have been blocked. But I prophesy, oh my God, I prophesy by the power of the Holy Ghost, your ears shall open up. Your ears shall open up. Your ears shall open up. Put your hand in your ears. Say, "Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears." Isaiah chapter 50, from verse 4. He said, "He has given me the tongue of the learned, and the ear of the learned." He says in verse 5, verse 5, "The Lord has opened my ear." Somebody say, "Lord, open my ears." Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Lord, Lord, open my ears. Open my ears. Be on your feet, everybody. Be on your feet. K. Are you ready? Are you ready? I want to pray. I want to pray. Now, listen to me. We're going to take these three strategic prayers. Number one, we are going to pray, "Whatever has affected the glory on my face." Now, listen. There are people, how you know your glory is tempered with? There are people that can make promises, but as soon as they see you, they change their mind. And there are some others, when they see you, they can make all the promises, but as soon as you leave there, they forget you. You see the two different dimensions. And that's why you have to pray. That's why you have to pray. That whatever has affected the glory on my face. It was so much on Moses's face that they had to put a veil to cover it. He was the very express image of the Father. He said, "We with open face, 2 Corinthians 3:18, beholding the glory of God as in a mirror, we are changed." Another version says, "We are transformed into the same image from glory to glory." Glory is the highest realm of God. That's why he say in Proverbs chapter 25:2, "It is the will of God to hide it, to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out." The word is a conceal. Seal. Conceal. The word con is a Latin word, like is like connect. The word seal is a lead to put something with a lead. So when they say conceal, it means to connect something that has a lead. That's conceal. He said, "But it is the glory of kings to search out." To search out. Every word of God is plain, but it takes glory to see the depths in God's word. Isaiah 12:3. "For with joy shall we draw water out of the well of salvation." One day I told the Lord, "Open my eyes to the depth of scripture, or I'll go and get a job." "Open my eyes to the depth of scripture, or I will go and get a job." In my life, I said, in my life, I've told people, I said, "My dream in my life when I was younger was not to be a pastor." My dream was to be a Vice Chancellor of a university. I've told you that before. That was my dream. That I wanted to just go to school. Not book, no book, no book, no book, no book, no book. Have my own university. To have my. That I didn't plan journalism. I didn't plan to even do all of that. My plan was to be. That was my target. To be. So I said to God, I said, "Open my eyes to the depths." How many of you are ready to pray over your face? How many of you know? Put your hand down. There are people, anytime good is about to come on them, that is when they start sensing cobwebs. Look at me. Some, look, September to remember is a deliverance program. This one is deliverance. Many of you will vomit. Some of you may even urinate on yourself. Some things will come out of you. Some of you be doing like this. Is it true? It's like you're removing. You pray to a point, it's like something is covering. There's something on your face. There's something on your face. How come somebody that was talking to you last time now see you and is avoiding you? He has just seen a dream, and somebody used your face. Are you ready? Please, as you are, users pray. Protocol pray. As you are taking this prayer, take it with all your heart because many people, their deliverance will start now. Say, "My Father, my Father, any spirit and power that has tempered with the glory on my face, glory on my face, as I pray, as I pray, fire!" Open your mouth and pray! Shout! Fire! Catch fire! Catch fire! Catch fire! Catch fire! Yes! Be fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Jesus! In the name of Jesus! The second prayer we're going to pray is our eyes. If you have been very sensitive in the past couple of weeks and months in this church, you discover there is a strange function of the prophetic. Your eyes. And that should be your prayer. Open my eyes. Now, listen. The disciples, while they were with Jesus, were people who were already ministering. They didn't start ministering when Jesus died. They were already ministering. They were, they were little, they were the little assignments and jobs they were handling. If you remember, a man brought the child and said to Jesus, "Thy disciples could not cast the demon out." Yes, sir. Meaning they were casting out demons. And that was when Jesus said, "This kind goeth not except." Because the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" So they were, they were trying. So there were people who already had a rob-off of the anointing. But yet, Peter was a target, and he never saw it. That was why Jesus said, "Simon, Simon, Satan has desired to sift you as wheat." Peter was a target, but he was not aware. Just imagine Job. If Job's spiritual eyes was open to see the meeting that was done about him, he would have protested. Say, "Father, no, I don't want to be an experiment." That's the prayer I pray to God at times. Say, "Father, before the devil comes to you to discuss about me, tell him I came first." I pray that prayer before. I said, "Father, tell him I came here first. Before he comes to collect permission to attack me or attack my family, I came here first. Permission denied." When you press a wrong code in the computer, they say, "Access denied." So you are going to pray. And this is the prayer. Because it is wrong for you to enter a car that will have an accident and you don't see it. I don't know how people. It's funny. The reason my pastors, most of my senior pastors, the reason you cannot talk to them or dispute the prophetic anointing upon my life is there have been certain things that about to happen. I see this. See this. No, they in the prophetic. Our senior pastors are in the prophetic. But they will call me over. Some say, "What do you say about this thing?" I said, "No, this is not going to happen. This is not going to happen. This cannot happen." What is that? What, what is that? Open my eyes. Now, this is the prayer. Lord, turn all my body to eyes. Turn all. Let me have eyes at the back of my head. Let me have eyes at the side of my head. Let me pick signals. Let me see things. The if you go to America, or you go to London, or you go to Canada, I'm seeing my son from Canada here. And also make you shout to Omega Shipping Line. That's the man that owns Omega Shipping Line. Is it protocol? Usher? Which one? Usher. In Omega family, mines, Canada. He was my driver when I went to Canada. And after that experience, he had a shipping line. After driving me, he had a shipping line. His doors open. Now, if you see most of those churches abroad, most human beings that live abroad, if you see them, no matter their wealth, they have one phone, one handset. But in Nigeria, you see students with three handsets. You know why? Some of them is stupidity. But majorly is because of signal network. Am I correct? Most time, if there is no network in MTN, and there's network in Glo, or there's network in Glow, is there another one? Eh? Airtel? Ah, there's network. Well, yeah. But there's a problem of signal. But most people are broad. I remember one time I was coming out of the plane, and I noticed a lady sitting in my was looking at me, and she would shake her head. Elderly lady. She looked at me, she would shake her head. White lady. So I got a little bit confused. Number one, I was the only black person on that part of the cabin. That was first of all a problem for me. Anytime I enter the plane, most time I'm the only black person. I say, "Oh my God, I'm in trouble." Because they'll see you, ask if you ask you, "Black, and you among that class?" What goes through their mind is that you're a thief. How do you have for this to be in this? So first of all, when I saw, I was a little bit worried. Then, then she was looking at me, shaking her head. And that was when people were calling me on the two lines. I say, "Hello, hello." I caught. I paged. "Hello." She looked at me and she asked me, "Are you okay?" I said, "Yes." After a while, she asked me again, "You're sure?" I said, "Yes, I'm okay. And you, are you okay?" I could feel her pulse. What she was thinking was, "Too funny. Is he mad?" And I said, "This one, she come to Nigeria, she will use five." She understand. She understand. So people have problems because they cannot pick signals. There are places you are going, the Lord just tell you that there's going to be a fight there. You're about going. Some God just show you. Am I communicating? One time I was traveling, I got to Benin, I turned back, and I came home. About two years ago, and my wife was saying to me, "You didn't go again?" I said, "I didn't feel like going." I was going to London. That London, one European country I was going. I said, "I didn't feel like going." Say, "Why?" "I said, I don't know. I just saw something. I didn't feel like going." I came back. Said, "Okay, we stayed." That was the period. Then in the UK, that for five days or almost a week, no flight could move over the sky. There was fog in the sky. So if I traveled, maybe two weeks, I will not be back. I just saw. I just turned back. Turn my body to eyes. How can a believer walk into an accident ground like his lamp led to the slaughter? Cheaply die, cheaply. They say pastor had accident, died. Fell into the hand of kidnappers. They carried him. Fell into the hand of robbers. They just carried him. Are you ready? I say, are you ready? Lift your right hand to fire. Somebody. Father, my Father. This is the final prayer. We'll take this prayer and briefly, we'll go into the prophetic. We'll say this and we go into the prophetic. If you're not in the prophetic, you are in the pathetic. So how many of you like the prophetic? If you're not in the prophetic, you are what? The pathetic. So choose which of them you want. I want the prophetic. Say, "My Father, my Father, Father, Father, as I pray, as I pray, turn my body to eyes. Turn my body to eyes." Open your mouth and pray!
