I'd like you to keep knowing that you are in the season of divine open doors for us to be able to bring deliverance to our generation. I will be reading some few scriptures first to establish and to help you to recognize where we have reached. The Lord Jesus Christ lamented and wept over Jerusalem only for one matter. He said, if at least in this day, in this day of your visitation, if at least in this day you have known what makes for your peace. Unfortunately, he said, it had been closed from your eyes. And that was why they missed the opportunity. And so we cannot pray enough to understand the seasons in which we are. And to respond, to take responsibility for it in the light that God will be shining onto our hearts. When we began yesterday, I said there is a now to where we are standing. Now that made obsolete or that made past what used to be. The now that is a change, a change in the heavenlies. An open heavens that we will need to recognize that oh, things are different now. Things have changed now. Things are taking a new turn. Let me read some few passages that God had been speaking to us. Severally. As we were entering the new year and I was pleading with God, what do you want to instruct to us? How do we move in this revival? The story that came to my heart was that story of Samson. Samson's parents, Samson's mother and father. When the angel had come to announce the birth of a son that would bring about a deliverance to his people. The one that would begin to deliver the people from the hand of the Philistines. And God was taking time to explain what manner of child it would be. And the angel spoke unto the woman and gave her instructions what not to do. A few years ago, while we were still seeking God about this visitation, this revival. Even when it has not come to this, we had reasons to go and study that scripture. So it was very overwhelming when the Lord told me that what he had said to the woman. You remember that when the angel came and the man asked, Are you the man that spoke to this woman about the son? And Manuel said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child? And how shall we do unto him? And the angel of the Lord said to Manuel, Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware. And I was noting that God said, I have spoken so much about what will be the manner of this child. Of all that I have said to you, beware of them. That already raised a very critical matter for me. And the matter was that it means we will have to spend time to study again. To understand again the manner, the instructions that God had given as regards the future of this particular move. You remember that for about almost seven continuous years, we have in every MLR program you have, or when we do the Disciples and Workers Retreat, you will notice that I have always asked them to print the peculiar features of this move. How many of you can remember that it's always in your program? Can I see your hand if you can remember? Alright, no problem, you can remember now. I will be asking Charles, Brother Charles, you are going to please bring that thing out for us because we have to go over it. So maybe perhaps tomorrow we will go over it. The peculiar features, the things that God has said about this move. We were speaking about it then when we were only expecting and praying and believing God for it. Are you understanding? But now that the, you know for example I was giving an illustration to my children the other day. I said, if you are anticipating to buy a machine or a computer, or yes, an instrument like an organ, like this, like that, and because you are anticipating that you will buy it, you went and started reading about it, to the extent that you even got the manual about it. When you have studied the manual very well, but the machine has not come. Does understanding of the manual, is it equal to operating the machine? Now when the machine now arrives, what will you do now? Do you know that that is the time you will now carry that manual? And say, hey, so when, okay, that knob that I was seeing there, I said what is it for? Then you go to the machine and then you press and it opens for you. And then every step you keep checking, you keep checking. And the manual now becomes very actively useful. Why? Because the machine is now here. Are we together? Now that's where we are. So when you will see us going to the scriptures that God has spoken to us about before, that we have taken meticulous time to discuss and study, we did that in anticipation of what God said He will do. But now I'll read some few passages to you to allow you to understand where we now are. May God help us in the name of Jesus Christ. Now if any of you were able to remember, you will remember that in 2019, in the course of our praying and in the course of our crossover, God gave us a very, very strange but very peculiar passage in Isaiah chapter 66. I want all of you now to go to Isaiah 66. Please, you must, please follow me strongly quickly tonight because each of these was only to be able to help me set what responsibility we must take for this rebirth. What responsibility are we going to take for where we now are? And how must we behave? What will God have us to do? Now, in Isaiah 66, verse 7, verse 8, and verse 9, Before she travelled, she brought forth. Before her pains came, she was delivered of a man-child who has heard such a thing, who has seen such things. Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travelled, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Says the Lord. Shall I bring forth, shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? Says thy God. When that passage came to us, and it came severally, it came through several of us, and it became like an instruction for us that God will have us to engage from that particular point. And I remember that we spent time understanding that God wants to bathe something into the earth. I remember that that year, our clergy retreat, as we were looking at what would be the instruction to the clergy, and what was their own theme, it was travelling to birth a move of God. And we announced at that time that what God wants us to do, because something is about to be born into the world, something is about to be born into the earth, and God was only requiring that we withdraw into the labor room, and labor with God for this to be brought forth. But you see, while we were conceding that, and we were praying about it, because whenever God brought a war to us, we like to take responsibility about it, we like to respond to it, we like to take action about it. In response to what God said that time, at that point, one of our responses was, we're going to reduce our itinerary. We're going to stop running up and down. We're going to withdraw into the closet. So we actually reduced several things. And we did charge ourselves that where God is asking us to enter now is the closet. As if we should come into a place of travail that something is going to happen. But you see, in our general understanding before, and that's why that passage became serious to us, we have been praying. So when you talk of prayer, it was not going to look like new. But what is new about that instruction, that point, was that God was saying, before she traveled, she brought forth. Before her pains came, she was delivered of a man-child. I don't know whether any of you will be able to bear me record, but you remember I did say to you, in the course of either division's retreat of that particular year, that we're in a very critical condition, that a sudden travail will come upon us. I was describing how a woman that is pregnant, and is expecting a baby, but is not expecting a sudden contraction. But suddenly, what's contraction used to take several hours or days, suddenly, ever before she traveled, her pains had come. And I remember asking you, what does that become? We say it becomes an emergency. Do you remember what we said that day? That it now becomes emergency because the back is already punctured. And what we thought would take hours, is going to happen very quickly. What will all the midwives be doing? They have to keep running quickly. If you remember that time, that message, you remember that I was saying that what is urgent now, is that those of us that God has been training, and preparing, that we are about to give birth, and that this bringing forth, of this man-child that will rule the nations, that will flow to all the nations, when it will happen, the question that will be on our mouth, and that question was very, very serious. What is the question? Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things, shall they be made to bring forth in one day? So if you remember, throughout that 2019, until we come towards the end of that year, that was our thematic issue. God said, spend time. We called our board, our leadership. We increased our times of fasting and prayers. We felt that we are at a very critical point, something is about to be born. Even though in our mind, we were only expecting that something would happen, and we'd be growing small, small, small, here and there. But by the time we were coming towards the end of that year, God kept saying, I want you to enter the closet. I want you to travel with me. I want you to, something is going to be born. But that as soon, as soon, as she traveled, she brought forth. Before her pains came, she was delivered of a man child. So we had a sense that something suddenly would happen to us. We had a sense that something quick will happen and it will accelerate more than what we think. We had a sense that we need to quickly prepare. Because we are going to be taking the delivery of a child. And that child must not be, must not be damaged at birth. We must not do anything to damage, to give it a, you know, a kind of damage as it is coming forth. Now, even though what we are reading looks so big, God kept saying, don't think it is incredible that I am appointing you to stand with me to bring forth what I am about to do on the face of the earth. Don't think it is incredible. So we tremblingly with fear and trembling, we kept praying, we kept believing God, we kept asking, Lord, how will it be? What is it that you are talking about? So we saw that there is an urgency. But we said the urgency that has come to us now is the urgency of this short but intense travel. If any of you remember the message, you remember that we said, if travel is short, it means it will be what? It will be intense. It will be violent. It will be so frequent. The contraction will be so frequent. Because the time of travel is going to be short. You remember that we said then that because of the way the Spirit of God is talking, we just need to focus and concentrate and invest our heart in what God is about to do. Hallelujah. But when we came to the beginning of 2020, 2020, and the Lord was challenging us that he is calling us into a greater task. Do you remember? And we were all talking about the greater task, the greater task, the greater task. In one of the days, again as we are about to break into the new year, and I was also preparing myself for this greater task that will require a lot of movement, a lot of activity and all of that, the Lord said, no, but I have told you, the greater task for you, your role in this greater task is to enter into the labor room, is to spend time in the closet for what I want to do on the face of the earth to be done. That what will facilitate the bringing forth of this man child, this prophetic child that God has been pointing us to over time. It will be intense travel. So I remember writing to all the brethren, those that are in the UK, US, I told them that that year I am not going to travel as I used to. There was no COVID. We did not even think of any COVID. The Lord simply began to say, your role in bringing to birth what I want to release to the earth is in the labor room. And that that is very important for the child to be properly born. You cannot nurture a child until it is born. So it became a very critical, urgent matter for us that the child has to be born. So all the instructions that God gave us about how do we order the child, how do we make sure that this move does not derail itself, God said all of those things were like what I used to do when a woman is going for antenatal. Where are the midwives that used to teach antenatal here? Can you raise up your hand, let me see your hand up. What is antenatal? Those are the kind of things that you are telling a pregnant woman in anticipation of the baby that is coming. Oh, am I correct? You are telling the woman when you are seeing this kind of sign don't waste time. Get this ready. Get that ready. This is what to do. This is what to do. All those instructions in anticipation of the coming child, they are very important. Abby, well let me ask you, are they active until the baby comes? No answer for me again. Do you know that all the antenatal that you have attended was in anticipation of the baby? If suddenly the woman had miscarriage and the baby died, what happened to all the antenatal notes that she took? Eh? It's discarded because it's of no use. What we were learning all these things for finally did not arrive. So you remember that God kept saying we have learned so much about what we will do by the grace of God when this thing comes. But there is now a critical urgency that we've got to labor in and withdraw from everything else until this child is born. It is when he's born that all the instruction we have learned before, we now bring it side by side with the baby. We now be saying, yes, this one is how to operate this one. You may even have trained the pregnant mother who is the first who has not had a child before how to tie the baby nappy, how to do everything but it is only when that baby arrives that all the theoretical lessons will become what? Practical. Hallelujah. Now I'm getting you to note that because it's important for you to understand where we are and if you have a sense of understanding, you will then see where we are so that you can appreciate the instructions we must be taking from this meeting by the grace of God. Now as we are entering that particular ending 2019 and we're about to enter 2020 God said, that thing which I'm telling you about, you will have to settle back into the place of prayer, into the closet until it is born. And I thank God for all the brothers and our sisters that we have prayed together we just knew that that's what to do. And we decided, we changed I said to the brethren abroad, I won't come out this year, I won't come out to you this time. There's something we need to do. We'll reduce our movements. We already said we're not going to do this. And towards that same end of the year, God began to say, yes there's something more critical to do for the birth of this baby. It is not on the platform. It is going to be in the secret place. It's going to be in the closet. You'll be wondering why I'm telling you this story. I was on land but I wanted to follow. So by the time we were breaking into the year, and if any of you remember that we were breaking into the year 2020 with the charge onto a greater task. But, back in my spirit and I told our leaders, I said for me, my role in this greater task is not globetrotting. It's not flying from one continent to another, from one nation to another. Even though that was strange. We are praying for a global move of God that will soon be born and I'm hearing God saying, it is not for you to be globetrotting. You will be inside the closet and the entire globe will be affected. We couldn't understand that. We did not know what does that mean by God. I even told all the brethren, I said, don't expect me again. I'm going to be inside. And we took it seriously. So we began to speak even about how our millet will no longer take the kind of times that we travel from here we travel from there, we travel from there, we travel from there all over. And the Lord began to say, yes, I'll show you how to do it. Then we began to beg God, Lord, how do we get it done? How do we get it done? Our first understanding is that, look, train many more hands permit them to go everywhere hallelujah you go back to the mount the instruction he gave us was that if the rod of Moses on the mount is lifted up, are you understanding? Even if Joshua did not know how to shoot Amalekites, we do what? We fall before him. But if the hand of Moses went down even if Joshua brought his great expertise in war what will happen? The Amalekites will defeat. So we saw that the determinant matrix for what God is about to do is determined where? In the closest on the mount. And we felt that that's what to do. But we didn't know that God is going to go ahead of us like that. Now, we are going to be talking about this not because there's there's nothing to say but because you need to have an understanding of what has happened. All of you please mark this now. So by the time we came into the new year, I still remember how the Lord said, yes, greater task but your own portion of that greater task is in the closet. Lifting up the hands, the rods. Disciples will be going everywhere and they will be succeeding as long as the rod is lifted up. If the rod goes down then they will suffer defeat. Settle down into this and as we were beginning to settle into it, that January 2020, we had a training meeting and this passage came again. And when this passage came again, I could not I could not stop making my notes. The notes were so voluminous. Because God began to speak. He said, let me show you something. All of you please look at what God was showing me in that passage. I want to share that with you because it's going to be very strategic in maximizing our Rehoboth. Hallelujah. It's going to be what? Very, very strategic in getting this Rehoboth to the extent to which God wanted to go. Go over verse 7, verse 8 and verse 9. Before she travelled she brought forth before her pains came she was delivered of a man child. So verse 7 said there's going to be a travail. There's going to be a labour. But by the grace of God, it's going to be short but intense. Hallelujah. It's going to be short but violent. It's going to be short but the contraction will be so frequent. Because it is time. As if God is saying the time to bring forth that baby has come and I cannot fail the time. The time for that baby to break forth has come and I cannot fail that time. I will rather intensify the travail that will bring it forth. I will rather increase the rate of its contraction that will bring it forth. I will rather rather than postpone the time that had been set. The only thing I can do because I the Lord I will hasten it in its time. Do you remember we read that kind of passage all the time? Isaiah 60 verse 22 all of that that God said and I was saying oh God how will you hear me say yes when it is time. We have already said that this baby must be born at this time. Everything that will make it to happen I will hasten it. I will increase intensity. I will mobilize for it. I will mobilize travail for it. So we knew that an intense travail must come. Praise the Lord that some of us as this was shared you will remember that several centers several of you we mobilized you to fast and to pray and to wait on God because we sense something is about to happen. Then in verse 8 He now began to show to us a dimension of what we are expecting which looks very strange and all of you you will bear me record and I think all of you should now know that that thing that God said in verse 8 baffles me. I was not sure of how it would be. He said who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such a thing? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Did you notice the word is that shall the earth be made to bring forth? It didn't say shall the earth bring forth. Eh? When you use the word shall the earth be made to bring forth? How else could we have put that? Shall the earth be compelled? Because when you use it be made to bring forth that means a force external to the earth a force beyond the earth has been set in operation to cause the earth to force the earth to compare the earth to bring forth. He said shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once for as soon as Zion traveled she brought forth her children. Now that verse 8 gave us a perspective. What was the perspective that it brought to us? And it gave us an expectation but we don't know how to express it. I couldn't be explaining it but I was just telling our brothers, our elders and say brethren something is going to happen now it's going to happen suddenly even though we have been traveling, we have been preparing for revival for many years, we have been raising disciples for many years but when this thing will happen it will happen so suddenly that people will think that it was a sudden thing and if any of you had chance to have read the notes that I wrote earlier in that year I said to them, I said we are at the threshold of an outburst of revival and it will happen suddenly and the suddenness with which it will break forth may make some people to think that it was an accident it may make people to imagine that this thing just happened by coincidence know that actually even though there have been underground labels choir teams, choir training discipleship classes and all that God told us to do over the years when the time for the release comes it always comes suddenly so we think that there is something that will happen suddenly something that will take place suddenly, something that will happen and people will be wondering how did it come about, why is everything happening at the same time everywhere like this God told us before, can I read it again, he said who has heard such a thing who has heard such a thing who has seen such things shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once for as soon as Zion travelled she brought forth her children so when we came for our visions retreat of 2020 if you still remember the main passage that God gave us to discuss was Revelations chapter 3 verse 7 to 12, do you remember and we read Isaiah 45 I think verse 1 to 8 and we are looking at behold I've said before you a door an open door, a two-lid gate and we are saying that something is going to come to us that will be a wide open door and that we will need strength to be able to enter into it how many of you still remember all those instructions that came to us, praise the Lord we were speaking of all of this when again there was no COVID and you remember in that particular passage that God gave us there was a word he said I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming to do what? to try the whole earth and we again announce that something is going to happen to the whole earth something that will shake the whole earth something that is coming but God will use it, so if you remember I said to you that there are two things that will be happening in the earth, I said something will be going on and it will be the operation of darkness, but at the same time something will be happening among God's people they'll be preparing the church I'll be releasing the purpose of God in our midst, do you remember that? now I'm putting all of that together because we want you to recognize that where we have reached is not a mere fiction where we have reached is not a mere conjectures of some brilliant people, where we have reached is not about extrapolations in order to be doing something why would we be doing that? what is our advantage of doing that? it is that it is important for everyone of you to recognize that there is a prophetic word that has guided our lives to this point, and that even though we were believing God, we were anticipating that God will move, God will move we did not have a clear understanding of how verse 8 is going to happen, hallelujah, now I want you I'm not reading verse 9 yet because verse 9 is something that is taking us from here but I want you to have an understanding and I'm doing all this because the word of God that came to us says of all the things that I said unto the woman, let her be aware everything I have instructed her let her be aware let her note because all that we knew before that was theoretical it is now the manual for operating what has now become actual am I communicating with you? something has become actual something has happened and we cannot deny it and everything that God said you are seeing it in different nations all of you in different places where you are sitting can you imagine that we are doing visions retreat and in some other places excuse me, in some other places their own crowd is almost your own hair are you with me? but it is not about that that we are talking tonight it is about recognizing the word of the Lord that has brought us to this point so that we might know how to respond and how to take responsibility for this rebel now if you will recognize who has had such a thing so by January when God began to say look you just have to spend time you just have to travel you just have to enter into your closet you just have to be inside until this time has passed we gave instruction then that all our brothers and sisters please spend time to pray just it is a time that God is giving us opportunity to travel with Him, to labor with Him because something is about to be born Hallelujah I am going to be relaxed now because I would like you to follow me and follow me well before I take where we are going tonight now when God began to do all of that is it possible for God to use anything natural to bring His prophetic word to pass can God use anything to cause His will to come to pass alright now we met in January of 2020 after we did our visions retreat then we had a training of trainers that we called Millet training of trainers because we already knew that by that last year God is saying Millet must be decentralized you are not going to be going everywhere for Millet again Millet will be happening in South Africa Africa will be happening in Francophone you don't have to go there because I need you here so we already agreed in fact in that January we decided and said there is no admission no new admission for Millet for that particular time but we are going to do whatever we can to finish the set that are on our hands that was the arrangement so we began to check what are the things that God wants us to use to respond to God and God began to say you cannot engage the ICT all these gadgets that it is Him that has brought it and it is meant for this reviver so we sat back we called our brothers how can we do this and we sat and we discussed we even commissioned our brethren to go and invest so some of you came to the camp the other day and you saw the big screen it was in millions what do we need it for God said it will be necessary because that is where people will be hearing the word of God henceforth that is what will be happening everywhere so get ready and I wanted to be sure whether it will work out I even traveled to Ghana and I wanted to contribute to one of our staff orientation I said let me try whether I can even sit in Ghana and take a meeting a class in a veterinary resort and then they asked me questions we practiced it and I sat in one room in Ghana and I spoke for 2 hours and people were asking me questions and God said that is what I am telling you so that you can spend time in the closet you don't have to travel up and down again because what we need to do now is to push forth the baby so I came back and everything was getting set let's go on, let's believe God and little did we know that by March the whole world was going to be locked down an hour of trial was coming to the whole earth it has never happened before that something happened and the entire earth had to sit down eh? if anybody told you that that would happen would you have agreed that there came a time in our time that all aircrafts were grounded no international travels anymore everybody sat down and people thought I was a very special prophet when I told them that I am not going to come to your meeting in May they said how did you know? did you already know that before? I was only speaking as the Lord led us we were only walking with God He who sees the end from the beginning He began to guide His servant this is what you are doing now so you see to us where we are now is not by coincidence Hallelujah what we are doing now is not an accident what is happening now is not COVID praise the Lord even when there will be no more COVID we will not go back to where we are coming from some of you don't understand say but COVID has finished when are we going to gather everything again? the error of such has passed the reason is because we have entered into a new move of God because listen to the word of God that we have followed and now that God now came in this year and He began to say now is loveable now God has made room for us I will be speaking about that before we end tonight because I am sure that once I lay all this foundation you will be able to act in wisdom you will be able to respond to God you will be able to take what God is saying to you seriously in all the countries where you are gathered you will be able to know that we are not gambling you will be able to know that it is a season for us to multiply it is a season and I will tell you the implication of it tonight because I am praying that we will not misbehave I am praying that we will not do wrong things I am believing God that God will see this stream that He has been speaking to us about for several years He will see it rise from the ankle to the knee to the waist to the chest level until nobody can cross it did I hear somebody say amen to that that this thing that has begun is an unstoppable move it is not because we said it it is because it has begun amen it is not because we are claiming it it is because God has visited us the day star has visited us from on high hallelujah now when He said who has heard such a thing in our lifetime have you heard such a thing that something happened and from China down to Australia Australia to the end of the world on the other side everywhere was locked very very busy airports became ghost ghost town many businesses went down everybody was talking thinking thinking what is it of course the world system are yet to completely acknowledge the Lord they are yet to be able to come and say this thing that has happened we don't know what to do so when they keep talking about that variant that variant that variant we had asked God sometime in the course of the Lord it is not the scientist that will take the glory out of this it is not the business man that will make the profit out of this the church must be revived out of this and the kingdom of God must advance that's where we are standing today that's what our responsibility is that's where Rehoboth is a very critical mandate on my life and on your lives and God will help us to respond properly in the name of Jesus Christ now who has made who has said such a thing who has seen such things shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once for as soon as Zion travelled she brought forth her children and I say to you when it was time when the set time came for Jesus to be born according to prophecy do you remember an angel came privately to speak unto whom unto Mary in a village that angel had come also privately to speak to Zechariah all of that was happening nobody knew those are the quiet side of it but when the time came for the word of God to come to pass and for it to come to pass as accurately as God said it God needed to engage anything that is useful and useful in his hand and one of the things he engaged was the government of the day and what did the man say he called for a census I was telling you that at the crossover they called for a census and very strange he was not allowing people to be counted where they are living he insisted that for that particular census everybody should do what go back to their local government to their home base, to their villages and there they will be counted imagine that government want to do census now and said all of you cannot be counted in Boko since you are not even though you live in Boko you are not an indigent of Boko you go back to your very village and they have set a date when this census must be carried out and everybody must go and so you saw people travelling they were going, they were going that was how it began to happen and here was brother Joseph, Karim, Mary he is pregnant, heavily pregnant and they were migrating to their village to go and deliver a baby to go and do what? it's for census the physical component is the census the prophetic component is the baby that must be born that has to be born as prophecy the prophecy had declared it are you hearing me? right from before the prophecy had to be, the baby must be born in Bellingham of Judea and you will see a baby wrapped, wrapped in swaddling clothes and they explained only for that census to take them there by the time they were just arriving I don't know whether they finally did the census before her labor pains came while they were still looking for where to settle there is no place her labor pains came and the only space that was available was the sheep pen so that prophecy can be fulfilled I'm asking you will you make a mistake to think that where we are now is a coincidence? will you be thinking that what God is doing amiss here is nothing special it's just that it happened to happen will you think like that? no, if you think like that you will have wasted this Rehoboth if you think like that you will not do anything correct about this season in which we are and I thought it was my responsibility under God to bring you to an understanding to help you see that what God has said to us over the years He has kept at it He has brought us step by step into it and He has used different means to cause His will to come to pass in our midst and on our hands and we don't take that lightly at all hallelujah so when the baby was born let me ask you who are the people that knew that a king was born who are the people let me ask you who are the people now do you know that majority of the people living in the land that time they didn't know that a change of season has taken place oh my God did you hear me as far as they were concerned one unfortunate woman mistakenly fell into labor without preparation as she went and delivered in the midst of the shipping pity her am I communicating so to them they thought coincidence and they didn't see anything special about that baby but imagine that some shepherds they were watching their flock in the middle of the night when the angels came down and appeared to them and began to sing you remember the songs in Luke chapter 2 in Matthew chapter 1 and chapter 2 and all the places you remember how these shepherds they say a great thing has happened a good thing has taken place let us do what let us rise up and go and see the great thing that God has done for his people it was interesting that the shepherds that were watching their flock they are the ones that knew the birth of a reviver many times people don't know when it has come because they are not the shepherds that are watching the flock they are busy with their own activities so they can't change when it is time to change they will still be doing their routines because they don't know that the season has changed they will still be involved in their normal routine activity as if nothing new has taken place and they are likely to make a caricature of the new thing that God is doing in their lives why they were not the shepherds that are watching their flock and praying that more and more the Holy Spirit will make several of you sensitive if you are not sensitive you will still be fighting with them at Sitna you will still be struggling with them at Essek you will still be fighting useless old battles you will still be wasting your prayers am I communicating with you? and what is the reason you are not you are not watching what God is doing our day you are not watching but I want to thank God that God will do nothing on earth without telling His servants, the prophets I want to praise the Lord that He has not left us in darkness He has not left us to grow up around praise the Lord now please hear me very well when the shepherds because they were watching in the night the angels that brought the news appeared to them and said glad tidings to you guys and because they were watching they've been waiting because I'm not sure what kind of shepherds they would be would they have been like the Fulani headsmen it means that these particular shepherds they are spiritual people it means these shepherds they are intercessors it means what is keeping them keeping them awake was an expectation somehow they kept saying Lord when will you remember Israel when will you remember the thing you promised so when it happened God did not fail to go and inform them that it has happened hallelujah and what did they do immediately they stood up and they started making their way they started making their way singing singing to go and worship Him then who are the other people that God don't know the reason I'm giving you this is because that is the first thing that we will do for this Rehoboth I will announce it and I will speak about it trusting that God will release you into it in the name of Jesus Christ who are the others no no no before the wise men maybe the wise men saw it because after 8 days after 8 days as it is normal in Israel every male child must be circumcised on the 8th day and taken to the temple do you remember that so after 8 days all of that was done and by 40 days they have carried him to the temple to be offered to the Lord according to Scripture because He was the one that opened the mattress and then as they were coming did you see one man you will think it was by coincidence because there was no there was no arrangement I'm not sure he was invited they were entering the temple to do as normal only for this old man Simeon Simeon thank you for Simeon Lord thank you for men who ask God to bring to pass the fulfillment of His prophecy Simeon came in and as soon as he saw the child he handled the child and lifted up his voice and said now let us depart in peace for my eyes have seen the salvation of the Lord among His people now I can go now listen to that please listen I want you to listen because I'm dealing with prophetic issues and how you will take careful action I'm not looking at you as young I'm not looking at you as inexperienced since God has brought you to where we are now you need to ask God to enlarge your heart and have an understanding also where are we where are we what is happening what is it that we have come into so when that man lifted Jesus and did all that he needed to do and prayed, he began to prophesy and he told the mother what will happen what will happen, what they will do to this child and what will happen to herself and what will happen to the nation of Israel because of this child to anybody else passing, this is just a 6 week old baby but to those that have been watching those that have been on the watchtower those that have been in the place of prayer those that have been traveling they knew, they saw the dimension they saw what is going to happen and I felt, I felt God must not allow men on the watchtower men who have been watching the flock they must not be removed from our midst do you know why, they are the only people that can give us the dimension of what is going to be no one will be able to describe this except those that have been watching those that have been waiting those that have been praying, those that have been asking Lord, when will you do it, when will you do it when will you do it God normally keeps covenant with all his watchmen, he tells them praise the Lord so why brother Simeon was lifting up and saying now let my soul depart in peace I see now, this is all I waited for God told me that I will not see death until I have seen the Lord and his Christ until I have seen the consolation of Israel so he said now Lord let us that servant depart in peace and you know after that chapter we did not hear anything about Simeon again he has fulfilled his ministry but he did not go until he has given a clear description of the manner of that child so that that child can grow and I will now remind you something else Mary, what did she do who remembers what they say Mary did Mary kept all these things in her heart because the baby is going to grow in her hand the baby is going to develop in her hand and she will be alive to see the baby manifesting all that God said about him and she will be there until the baby will fulfill the first assignment while he came to go to the cross all of that he needed to know it and when I began to ask God, God said all the things that the angel has spoken to her let her be aware, so I already knew and for me to confirm that to you that it's a big business and before in the course of this time because we have to be speaking clearly about how to make sure that this move of God is not scuttled, is not mishandled it grows to his height it's now something we have to do, that's why I've asked to bring that thing out and we're going to read it together tomorrow again and we'll see what God will be doing, but why that brother was doing that another woman came in who was that woman? that's another woman, Hannah Hannah was a woman who was a widow she married only for 7 years and her husband died so they said, 7 years from her virginity, she had a husband after that, she became a widow and then they said this woman never departed from the temple day and night, worshipping the Lord with prayer and what? and with fasting, looking for the consolation of Israel so you see, when people began to see the miracle of Jesus when they began to see the blind see the lame walking and all things were happening everywhere and people didn't know some people say this is the son of Carpenter now why did they call him the son of Carpenter? they were not among the shepherds that are watching they were not of the Simeon company they were not of the Hannah company those who are not in the place of prayer and travel, they will misname the baby they will misdirect the baby they will try to take a different advantage from this baby so what is our first responsibility? the first responsibility that we are going to talk about will be the responsibility of being in the watchtower everything is breaking forth and I'm trusting God even though there will be no COVID to make us not to travel here and there some of us in order for this baby not to be misnamed not to be misdirected not to be misfocused and not to be mishandled we will have to remain well, in the sacred place and I will be inviting some of you who will like to join the shepherds company the shepherds company people that will say Lord I could have been anywhere I could be running up and down but for the sake of this thing that you have released to us, that you have brought to be in our midst that we have seen it just breaking forth gradually we want to be in the place where we can nurture it where we can watch it where we can properly, properly focus it where we can invest and sow our lives into it but first in the place of the watchmen Hallelujah I hope I'm not confusing you here tonight I hope the Holy Spirit will help me to make you understand and to give you a perspective of what God is about to do now listen carefully all of you when that woman who while others would have been looking for other men to marry she knew that this widowhood that has released me to become free again is meant for a purpose I will sow it, I will invest it in laboring to see the manifestation of the Word of God should such a woman not be there on that special occasion Hallelujah Now you will now see what is the other company that came to recognize we are told that they were the wise men from where? From the East now I want to give you an understanding about this because listen to me, because such things will happen again and we have to understand where we are standing and what God wants to do what is it? Those that are wise they call them wise men where they were in their far country the Bible said they saw a star you see when they saw it we saw his star somehow they knew that they had seen many stars but they saw this particular star and it's not like any other and they told themselves this is nothing but the star of a king a king that is going to overwhelm the whole earth a king that is going to rule the earth completely so they took it upon themselves they said let us go that we might worship him and can you imagine that they took a long journey, they were coming from the East and they were following the star and they were following the star and the star was leading them it was leading them and they already said look you don't go before this kind of king that has this kind of star empty handed so they got all their precious things with which they were worshipping and as they were following the star and the star was leading them to where the baby was hallelujah and the star was pointing so when they came to Jerusalem in their ordinary senses if a great thing like this has happened in the country of Judah the inhabitants of Judah should have known the people of the land should have recognized it there should be a kind of recognition and a kind of jubilation because what we saw is so overwhelming and it would have been the greatest privilege for Judea to host that kind of king oh my god, are you hearing me unfortunately he came to his own and they knew him not listen carefully wise men will come from the far to see what has been born in our midst but the people that claim to be scribes that claim as if they know they will be living here and they will not recognize that something has been born in our midst they will be thinking it's coincidence they will be imagining that it's an ordinary thing so when these wise men came all the way and they blanched to the people that they thought should have understood and they said we are wise men from the far east a king was born in this country hallelujah a king had been born in this country from the time we saw his star to this present time we've been making this journey for the past two years we've been looking for where to locate him it's almost two years now are you hearing me and they are asking where is that king that had been born that we may go worship him so they went to the king of Israel who ought to know if you are a leader in a place you ought to know what's happening in your domain he was ignorant may you not be ignorant of what God is doing in our midst may you not be in the class of people who are completely oblivious of what has happened something has happened hallelujah now I'll tell you later on because I need to be making some issues clear to you so that you can understand what has happened to us it is still small but if you have seen it you know that this is going to overwhelm the earth if you have seen it you know that this is not about something that we are talking about peace house something that heaven has decided to do all over the earth hallelujah listen carefully the bible noted when they said there is a king that was born in this domain and from our search we have been searching for it and the star that we saw led us here and we thought that you should have known and the king said I didn't know that something like that has happened you mean you saw a star I never saw any star children are being born here every time I never saw anyone that is a king among them then he did something what did he do he called the scribes he called the bible scholars he asked them can you please check your prophetic books is there anything like that that a king is going to be born in Judea and these men, they have bibles they are people they are knowledgeable, they are theologians but they will be unaware when this thing has happened not all pastors will understand they may even carry their bible and they will be interpreting it upside down because it is not given to them to understand so when the scribes brought all their books they searched and searched and oh my god I was so touched that hey they could search the bible until they traced and say actually in Bethlehem of Judea in the old time it used to be called Rama but it is what we call Bethlehem today that a child will be born and they described they said oh king it is true this is the kind of time that God promised that a virgin will deliver according to scripture we have read it we didn't see the star but we saw the bible but you know I need people who are good bible students like we have been training you but if your bible knowledge did not allow you to see the star you have studied in vain if you became so committed to dry bible studies that the purpose for which the scriptures was written that we were studying when that purpose now came you missed out and you still went about with your study you are miserable when God began to speak to us few years now he said the purpose for which our discipleship had been done for years is about to happen the reason why we have been sitting doing bible study all the time every week here and there discipleship is because God told us that a time like this will come and we will need vessels that will carry him everywhere all over the world the purpose of all that we have been standing for for years is now here unfortunately sometime that is the time some people out of ignorance they will step away that is the kind of time some people out of ignorance as if something is tempting them to go away from this one and do something else and if I have grace and it will not look as if I am begging them to come and join the work of God I will admit and say don't go this is what we have been waiting for for years this is what will bring definition to your life you waited for years just a little moment don't go from this but they will quickly misunderstand they will think I am begging them to be in peace house and they don't know that no nothing like that they don't know that I have nothing like that this thing that is breaking forth is not peace house it is God's work it is what God wants to do in the nations it will flow to places, it will flow to denominations it will take over things and I was thinking that those scribes went by their Bible study they could prove that the boy is to be born let me ask you, what should they have done to the wise men they would have said, yes sir, that star you saw is true and where it is we have used the Bible to trace it you saw a star but we have we have the Bible that gave us the map, we can read the map of it and we have the map and we have read the map so let's go together that's what they should have done but you know they didn't they sat back, they said go and see Enoch said if you go there and you find that it is true come back so that me also and of course as soon as they came out they saw the star and the star led them and when he got to the very house where the baby was he stayed and the people knew they entered and they saw the baby and they opened everything and they worshipped the Lord and they gave him everything they came with and in the night an angel appeared to them do not go back to Herod don't go back the way you came go this road, so can you see Herod was waiting endlessly in his empty palace waiting that these people will return and come and tell him we have seen him so that he can do his mischief because he wanted to quench it God redirected the wise men to go somewhere else and he waited, waited, waited when he saw that they didn't come back but he couldn't rest, he said this thing that they have said is true let's go, go to Bethlehem of Judah any boy that he saw two years down road kill them why? why would you kill the desire of the nations? why would you rise up to kill what generations have prayed and prayed and fasted and cried unto God for why? well I want to tell you when somebody is not among the watchmen the shepherds that are watching the flock they are not among the intercessors of the Simeon company, of the Anna company and if they are not among those who have eyes to see the new things that God is doing as to go and submit to it they will take a decision what will be their decision? let's kill it but this is unstoppable, nobody can kill this and you should take note of this nobody will be able to kill this this is not human, this is not a man made this is not what somebody is organizing this is God coming down in answer to the cry of many many of his saints that are saying Lord when will you visit our earth again? when will you bring to pass the prophetic word that you have given over the years and God is rising to do it and my prayer is that you will not miss out and can you imagine why that baby was still there the angel again came and said Joseph take Mary and your wife and the baby go out to Egypt for people will arrive, they want to kill him so why they came wanting to kill anybody that is a boy the massacre of the young because they were looking for one they did all they could so Herod could not understand he thought he has finished him only for a few years after God said the Herod that is seeking the life of the child is dead go back, now why did I go into this I first want to inform you that if God has spoken the way he spoke and gave us a sense of urgency that something is about to happen and that the whole world they say I will try whether we should come into the into the closet in order to bring to birth what was to be born on the face of the earth and while I was imagining that this kind of call unto prayer would take another 10 years of just staying there and praying, God said no as soon as Zion travelled she brought forth a man child and for you to know that there are people that thought that what we are talking about is what do they call it, online this work is not online all of you should understand it took me time to have to explain to our brothers in our city to them I said no, no, no, no we are not talking of that, that kind of online we are not doing online we are not talking of somebody just sitting in his room he says anything he likes and he is blowing it into the air and he is funny anywhere you like and you look and say yes, he has a global work no, that is not what God said to us God said he is raising his people simultaneously all over the earth something is being born in different land in different places almost at the same time and God is multiplying man he said a little one will become a thousand God spoke about all of that the only help that God is giving to us is that we will be having a privilege of making an input but the meeting itself the work is there is on ground what God is doing is on ground as you are sitting in the different places and you are listening and this meeting is going on as soon as we finish you see that you have got to stand up and take responsibility for your own people for your own land it was interesting when God gave us a strategy that we should go into the nations and borrow vessels and bring them here and I remember that we were doing that faithfully but by the year 2017 or 2018 as the number was multiplying and the summit of the nations had grown out to about 1,500 which means when they are coming apart from the investment that they themselves had to put to get tickets even for us to move them from wherever airport they settled in to bring them back here either by flight or by road sometime we had put in luxury buses of almost 20 and when the luxury buses are not available the 16, 18 seater buses you just see a fleet about 30, 35, 40 all on the road, where are they going? Peace House they are going to Ayitoro you see we had a vision before where Bradeni saw people from everywhere coming and they asked them where are you going they said there is a place called Ayitoro in Boko Ayitoro just simply means a place of peace so we were all expecting he didn't know that he was just having his own vision he doesn't know what Ayitoro means I know what it was and so as the people were gathering and coming and because God told us go and borrow vessels we did we had always taken time to take one step or the other as the Lord leads us and as we keep doing that Bradeni would come from the US, they would come from Belize sometime because God said believe me to even sponsor them to come so sometime we have believed God to even raise tickets to bring some that we felt must be here we are not bringing them so that we can show no, God is saying there is something they must contact here and they will take it back to their land so by the time we finish the 2018 there was a question that somebody had asked I said sir, what is this? this thing is too costly and I asked the man, I said, is it your problem? has God not been meeting the need? he said yes sir, I said ok, sit down, keep your mouth shut I'll tell you why he said why, I said these people are brought here not because we can bring all their country to Goku they are brought here so that they can have a perspective we are bringing them for them to have a perspective of what God is going to do in their own nations in the days to come now remember that that year we gave them a charge and you remember the charge from Amos chapter 3 and he said can they pray fall to the ground where there is no trap and hoping that God will help us to bring together all that instructions because they will be needed now and God said go and set traps I'm going to move in your nations we knew, and because we knew that God was going to do that we began to offer them to come for millet because we are hoping that when millet will jump to their nations they will be the millet resource persons we are believing God that as they come as their field, as their own bottle of oil is filled they will be sold out, and we kept telling them you will be sold out to go and fill other vessels we kept saying that to them so the issue is that there is something God is doing amiss that we must not take for granted something the Holy Spirit is preparing us for so you now see right as we are talking now somebody said when are we going to have summit of nations you don't know that nations are already having their own summit in all the nations when we struggle to bring people maybe about 90 people are trying to come from maybe southern Africa that was wonderful but God said what I'm going to do you will still be borrowing their vessels but now it's time for them to be sold out all the places that God intends to go something is happening simultaneously who has heard of such a thing can they be made to bring forth in one day, at once yes, we have seen by His mighty hand we have seen that God can do something at once and the entire earth they are responding they are responding and we cannot even explain we don't even know everywhere that this matter is going we can't know so what do you want to talk about now the Bible said if anybody can measure and count the dust of the earth so will anybody be able to measure or number their seed we cannot there is nothing we can build that will contain what God wants to do and for you to understand that by the grace of God camps, conferences are breaking forth in different parts are you hearing me not only of Nigeria even in other countries peace house camps everywhere they are breaking forth what is my own business about that that God has decided to do what He says He will do so what is our responsibility that the first thing you are going to do is to take your space in what God is doing you cannot be untold you cannot be untold every aspect of the work is being born at once every aspect of the work being born at once we didn't have time for the children's department to tell their stories of what is happening simultaneously with children everywhere we didn't have time days have gone when you are just doing one club here and we are struggling the spirit of God has come and God is raising hands for Himself but what do I want us to respond to as we pray together tonight the first issue was that when they came to Rehoboth Isaac knew it Isaac recognized it Isaac saw the star of it Isaac saw that we have now moved into Rehoboth and that God has made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land even though many onlookers may think it is coincidence careless people may be passing and not knowing that something has taken place they may not know that something has happened in fact some may be thinking that Kai, this disastrous thing has been dismantled and some may say Kai their ministry has got to do Kai they didn't know they don't understand that God has only translated us into what He has been speaking about all the years but my first request tonight is an invitation but that invitation will come to you first, Isaac recognized and the first recognition he had, he said, the Lord has made room for us I felt like saying to you the Lord has given us space a space of grace a space that comes to us by mercy, an opportunity for us to be fruitful in His purpose and if we say the Lord has made room for us may I say that please insert your name in it the Lord has made room for you to be fruitful in the land the Lord has made room for you while we are still on the face of the earth may God help you to recognize it and to put your hand into it the Lord has made room for you and you shall be fruitful in the land the kind of fruitfulness that God is talking about is exceeding is an exceeding fruitfulness it's a one a little one will become a thousand that has been the definition He has been giving us and that is not a mere statement say a small one will become a great nation my first request for you can you take responsibility by recognizing it I told you those that could not benefit from it though they were doing Bible study but they had no eye to see the star they couldn't see that ah what the Bible was written to convey had happened it was so painful that they were still carrying their scriptures everywhere when Jesus Christ started to minister when the child has now grown and is beginning to do things they were always the first to come and oppose Him and they would be opposing Him as if they are opposing Him from Bible and one day Jesus Christ He said ye search the scriptures for you think in them you have eternal life and these are scriptures that do what testify of me I wonder how you are reading it and you did not notice me and sometimes when Jesus Christ want to probe and pull them He said what does it mean when David said sit down at my right hand until I make your enemy thy fool stool what does that mean in their head they knew that that prophecy is talking about the Christ they said we don't know ok if you don't know I will also not tell you He had performed a miracle they said by what authority do you do this then He asked them by what authority was the baptism of John my God they knew that if He said it is of men He said people would stone them because everybody knew that John was a man from God and if they say it is of God then they know He would have asked them so why didn't you follow what John the Baptist told you because John the Baptist said behold the Lamb that takes away the sin of the whole world and you were there when He was baptizing this man and God spoke why didn't you follow they said we don't know you see when men want to be vague they will not be ready to face the Bible and you know there are many people you have met including preachers if you decide to ask them and say what of this what did the Bible say they say don't bring those things those are ghillies ideas they say no but this is in the Bible sir leave that what is the reason for that do not put yourself in any position as to oppose the move of God don't allow yourself to stand opposite to the move it will sweep you out I wish you can swim in it and don't swim against it now what is the second issue that we will introduce tonight and then we will pray those who could define it who could handle it those who could grow with it and to whom God can give a clear description of what He is doing are those who are the shepherds watching the flock at night those who are in the place of prayer the simeon company the anna company and then the wise men who were willing to seek it out until they find Him and I tell you that there will be many many will be coming many from all over the nations they will be looking for this matter as announced to you kings it will no longer be big news that we are going to be having disciples on the thrones just know it it's going to be a normal thing because this stream is going to enthrone the Lord over every institution it will be something that you will begin to see you will see that several vice chancellors of universities they will be disciples it will be it's already beginning and it's going to continue, it will increase it will not stop in fact, I don't want to use a wrong word it will be a trend but a trend would be a wrong word it will be a move the time will come the university of Ibadan a believer, as I'm talking to you now he's a child of God they were contesting, contesting the brethren spoke to God and said Father we need a child of God here the brother is there now, hallelujah Futa is a child of God it's our brother Oye Eketi is a child of God he has written and said sir I've dedicated the university to God and I want you to please come we are going to start an annual not just that SES is having their meeting in a corner you know that's what we knew before I went on campuses preaching to SES, maybe 300 of them or 400 of them or 500 of them and then a few senior friends we have moved from that level now we have come now to where it is university program the university principal officers from VC to all the chief librarians all of that, they are seated it is university even if you are an unbeliever since it is a university program you are bound to attend that's why we are coming that is the move that God is bringing are you understanding? I have just spoken to Umudike now and they are saying sir please we need a date and I have given them and it is a university thing we are going to sit over it that is what God is doing it is God, it is not about anybody it is time and what we are talking about we are not just talking about religion we are talking about Christ and we are bringing Christ onto the academics we are discussing your curriculum has to be redesigned those things we are just entering it is not going to reduce it is going to increase in depth, in width in speed and where it is going it enters the ocean and wherever this river flows to the Bible says it shall be healed are you understanding? so we know but what is the first thing God wants to do? can you take a position in the place of prayer? can you join the shepherds of the flock? who are watching their flock by night who when all others are sleeping they are saying Lord I am a watchman here this thing that you have released in our midst it must not quench, it must not die it must not be diverted and we need such shepherds who will say Lord for what you are doing among children we want to hold your hand until babes and sucklings begin to declare your power in the nations Lord among the students among the youth, among the teenagers because this thing is being born and we are here oh God taking a stand so the first thing is that God is calling us onto more prayers so level box requires more prayers so you will notice that during the meeting the crossover we prayed we said the first equipment for our assignment is for God to release an unction but the first unction a lot of people when we talk of unction the first thing is utterance but unction is what releases utterance but unction is first and foremost a body a weight like a pregnancy that settles on your soul and if there is an unction it will drive you to the place of prayer hallelujah and as you begin to take space in the place of prayer it will begin to release utterance it will begin to bring effective ministry of the word in our lives and so because of what God is going to do in all the nations of the earth please mark it in all the nations of the earth this stream is breaking those that have seen the start of it they are going to lay down their lives and their treasure and say for this we lay down our treasure for this we lay down whatever we have because we have seen it to flow those that have seen it like the Simeon company like the Anna company will say oh God this is what we have waited for this is what we have cried unto you for this is what we have played all our lives upon we are happy Lord you are allowing us to hold it, to touch it and to speak into it and to guide all those that will handle it that's the first place now, should everybody among us here tonight step into the place of prayer for this move of God I would like to say yes the reason is because it is only in the place of prayer you will see its dimensions it's only as you are praying that God will be describing it to you it is only as you enter into the place of prayer that you will be seeing the glory of where God has started the glory of the way it is going the glory of how it is going to move me, I can't describe to you now it is as you come to that sacred place of prayer God begins to show it to you so our first response tonight is Lord not to be among the scribes they have the bible, they have the map to read but they didn't see the star they are too arrogant to follow those who saw and say let us go together they read their bible did the analysis, closed it back went back to their place of irrelevance may you never be among such may all the opportunity of your exposure actually land you in the middle of this move in the name of Jesus Christ so we are praying tonight and the first request and I'm praying that God himself will release the spirit of prayer upon us all that the spirit of grace and supplication will come upon our heads you know as we were in the MLR, one of our brothers brought a word that God said I will cause the children of the house of Israel to inquire of me about this this is my promise but I need them to ask me to do it for them that's why our first response tonight is to join that company so I'm going to ask you to rise on your feet and to pray with me when I ask you to rise on your feet wherever you are sitting all over the place all over, even if you are just sitting in your sitting room, it is time to stand up just stand where you are just stand, because I want you to take a stand for what God is doing take a stand for what the Holy Spirit is releasing all the long long story I took was to help you to know that we are not following a coincidence we are not following a fiction we are not following human imagination if it was a human imagination this thing should have fizzled out long ago if there is nothing there the way God has confirmed his word in our midst over these years, he would not have done so and if God had not been behind it people already prophesied that we should have died many many many years ago every opposition was erected to make sure this thing does not take root but you can't stop it you are not following a fable so I want you to lift up your hands and say Father, because of your mercy you have brought me into this so I want to put my hand into it, I want to join the company of those who ask you for it release unto me the spirit of prayer begin O God to pour upon us the spirit of supplication that grace to pray that grace to hold your hand that grace to join

God is raising people who can pray. God is raising those who can call on God and say, today the spirit of the Lord is coming down. Lord Jesus, if you want to take the step, take a step forward to say, Lord, I want to be part of this company. I want you to make me one among the shepherds. I want you to consecrate me in the company of Simeon. I want to be part of the wombs out of which you will raise travail for this that you have chosen to do in our day, to be brought forth. If you don't find space as far as you can come, just kneel down there and say, Lord, I must not be left out. With dry Bible passages, Lord, cause that my life will be recruited along with all that you have chosen. Help me, O God, to be part of the Hannah Company. The Hannah Company. Is that why I became a widow young and I didn't know? Lord, this day that I have known it, I'm not going to waste my widowhood anymore running around matters that do not affect my own generation. Running around, what does that make for the purpose of God for which he has prepared me over the years? Today, Lord, I offer my life. I offer my life. Lord, let your unction descend upon my life. Commission me with the unction from high. Commission me, O God, with the fullness of prayer, with the equipping of supplication and of prayer that will take hold of me. An irresistible unction. An unction that is unstoppable. An unction that will overwhelm my soul. That will take over my life. Oh, an unction that will make nothing else to matter but to be in the secret place with God. To be where I'm causing impossible things to happen all over the world. Lord, I bring myself, I offer my life. Recruit me, O God. Recruit me also. Hey, Lord, recruit me. Put me on the list. And release the equipping to my life as well. O God, I ask that you will set me in motion by equipping me, by setting me forth. Lord, thank you. Lord, to you be glory. To you be honor forevermore. Blessed be thy name. O Lord, O Lord, thank you for choosing to accept the small offering of my life. Anoint my soul. Cause unction to come upon me so that from now forward, the unction will push me into the secret place where I will forget to count the hours. This is happening in every onsite center that is following this particular visual retreat of his own kind. This is happening in every country. I want you to be stepping out wherever you are to say, Lord, recruit me. Recruit me. This is recruitment time. This is recruitment time. Hereafter, we will only be receiving the marching orders. Lord, recruit me. Recruit me. Set my heart on fire with the unction of prayer. Make my whole soul to be a place to burn and to radiate the release of prayer and supplication. Blessed be thy name for doing this. O Lord, touch lives everywhere, not just here in Boko, as you have always done. Ignite every soul that is stepping out and offering himself, offering herself to be part of the simian company, to be part of the anna company, to be part of the shepherds of the flock. Correct shepherds of the flock. Make me one, O God, and cause that wherever you located me, there will be an outburst of this same work, of this same labor that will bring forth fruitfulness that is unprecedented, that is uncountable, that is unimaginable, that is limitless, fruitfulness that is unstoppable, fruitfulness by the hand of the most high. Lord, thank you for accepting that I should be part of this. Blessed be thy name forevermore. Hosanna unto you. Let the unction start work from now. There's no time to waste. Let the unction go to work from now in the name of Jesus, that in every place, lives that are dedicated to pulling down the hand of God, bringing forth the baby, causing that the counsel of the most high will begin to be manifest in every place. Lord, let it begin now. We are not seeking to receive anything futuristic. We are not seeking for what will happen tomorrow. Let it begin now. For it is time. This is the now that God is talking about. Thank you, Father, for doing this. Several of us, God already has recruited us for prayer, but we couldn't find the unction to stay in the secret place. It is time to receive the unction now, to enter into your calling that you knew a long time back, but so many things were pushing you left and right. It is time. That prayer was for this purpose, and the time has come. Here is the unction that God himself has brought. Lord, be glorified. Thank you, Heavenly Father. Blessed be thy name forevermore. Blessed be thy name forevermore. The grace of prayer that will be with travail, with travail. Lord, thank you for releasing it. Hosanna unto you, O Lord our God. Blessed be thy name. Blessed be thy name. Hallowed be thy holy name forevermore. Wherever people have offered themselves, some it is in their parlor. Lord, visit them there now, for this must be a simultaneous visitation. That's the way you planned it. Even so, let it be, O God, to the praise of your glory. Thank you, Father. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Would you like to raise your two hands to the Lord, whether you are here in front or you are still standing wherever you are or kneeling? This matter concerns each one of us. If you are here to give your life to Jesus, you didn't come here by accident. God intended to include you. Can you quickly tell the Lord, I don't want to be a sinner anymore. I don't want to be found among those in whose time the king was born, they knew nothing about it. I don't want to be counted among those who were still wasting their lives when there was a purpose to live for in their own day. Lord, change my life today. That's the prayer you will be praying and we will soon give you opportunity to receive counsel and direction so that you will have a proper beginning to also step into this matter. But for the rest of us, I want you to tell God, thank you that I am here. And that here just means the place to which he has led us and you are counted in the number. Lord, thank you that I am here. That here can be in Sierra Leone, it can be in Qatar, it can be in Russia, it can be in Bahrain, it can be in Cote d'Ivoire, it can be anywhere on the face of the earth. But the here we are talking about is the Rehoboth. The here we are talking about is the now. Thank you Father that I am here. Lord, recognizing that this is that which the people have prayed and labored for, some have died and have been looking forward to his fulfillment. This is that for which we have all also been laboring and been praying for and been expecting over the years. I recognize the star. Can you tell God, me, I recognize the star. I can see the star and I'm not going to permit any to distract me, waiting back in any place other than to follow the star. From now on forward, no scribe that does not follow the Bible, that is not ready to go and pay homage to the king will hold me back. I am following the star. I am following the star. Are you praying that wherever you are, me, I have decided. I have decided to follow the star. I have decided to be part of the program of the king of all creation. I have decided to come before him and to submit my homage to him, to do obeisance unto the king of kings and to let him alone use my life. I have decided because I recognize the day of our visitation. I have seen the star of our rebels and I'm not waiting behind. I'm not allowing anything to hold me back anymore. Lord, I have decided. And finally, God said, all those who have decided must be recruited into the secret place. This secret place is not only that there is a locked up space physically somewhere where you stay, but your whole life will be a travail or prayer. You will be locked in spirit, in your heart with God. Would you like to tell God, since this is the work, all the king needs is that there should be shepherds, shepherds of the flock that are looking forward to his arriving. All he needs is that there should be simeons. All he needs is that he should have honors. The rest God has arranged. He said he will cause his people, his people to ask him of this that he has promised. Would you like to tell God, equip me to ask you for this. Give me the option not to permit you to rest. Place me on the walls of Zion cause that I will ever lift up my voice that I may call upon you until you will answer me. I will call upon you God for you needed it. You say you will cause the prayer to go forth because it was necessary for what you are promised to be released. Lord, give me that option now. Recruit me by an irrepressible option, by an insatiable, unquenchable hunger and thirst for prayer, for your presence, to be in communion with you. Lord, recruit me for the secret place. Recruit me for the place of communion with you anywhere, including the market. I am in prayer. I am interceding deeply on the streets. I am interceding deeply in the kitchen, in the office. I am interceding deeply and yet nothing is lost. Lord, grant me such irrepressible option, no matter what people are doing around, an undistractable option, an option that nothing can dissuade. Lord, place it on my life in the name of Jesus. Can you pray that prayer? As that hand is lifted to heaven to say, Lord, I am asking for this specifically. While on others you are calling, Lord, remember me. Do not pass me by. Lord, I am asking, do something specifically that will turn my life around, that my arising from here, I will be changed to another person, another man, another woman, another boy, another girl. For even out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, God has drawn them to ordain strength in them. And you will see great and mighty things that God will be doing even through the children that answer this call, the call to be part of the Simeon company, part of the Anna company, part of the company of wise men, those who see into the invisible. Thank you, Father. Blessed be thy name forevermore. Hosanna unto you. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/gbile-akanni/recognising-taking-responsibility-in-your-rehoboth/ ========================================================================
