sit back and listen as the servant of God brings forth the Word of Life.
So this night, we will begin by looking at Amos chapter 3. Are you
there? I would like to read from verse 1, and if I can get to verse 8,
or even a little more than that. But I just want you to note that
scripture as we take off tonight in understanding our role in what God
is about to do.

Our portion, your own part in what is about to happen. Hear this word
that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel. Against the
whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only
have I known of all the families of the earth.

Therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk
together except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest when he
has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he has taken
nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth where no gene is for
him? Shall one take up a snare from the earth and have taken nothing at
all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city and the people not be afraid?
Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord has not done it? Surely the
Lord God will do nothing but He reveals His secret unto His servants,
the prophets. The lion has roared.

Who will not fear the Lord God has spoken? Who can but prophesy? Amos
chapter 6 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the
mountains of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations to whom the
house of Israel came. Pass ye unto Cana and see, and from thence go ye
to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.

Be they better than these kingdoms, or their border greater than your
border? Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seeds of
violence to come near, that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch
themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and
the calves out of the midst of the stall, that chant to the sound of the
viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music like David, that
drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but
they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. Therefore now shall
they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them
that stretch themselves shall be removed. May the Lord bring insight and
wisdom to his word as we read tonight, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I'm dealing tonight your role, your own part in what God has declared to
do in our generation. If what God is about to do in our time, does not
require, or does not involve, or has nothing to do with your personal
input, God may not even speak to you, He will do what He says He will
do. If you have no caution in what God is about to do, then there will
have been no need for God to bother you about announcing what He wanted
to do in our time.

Every time God makes an announcement in the ear of a man, every time God
makes an announcement in the ear of a person, either a man or a woman,
it is because there is a role that man, that woman, is required to play.
Every time God comes, either by prophetic declaration, or by
instantaneous announcement of what He wants to do, and you happen to
hear, or He decided to focus on you and tell you and say, I will do
something like this, just know quietly in your heart, that God has done
that because, there is a specific role, that you have to play, in
bringing it to pass, no matter how small. God can never roar to any man,
if there is nothing He wants to do with that man.

So every time God has made announcements, about what He wants to do in
our time, what He wants to do in Nigeria, what He wants to do in this
generation, every time God has announced it. God is not a parrot that
just speaks to the air, He speaks to somebody. Praise the Lord.

Whenever God has announced or taken upon Himself, to speak in the
presence of anyone, that man, that woman, has an indispensable role to
play, in bringing the purpose of God to pass. And so tonight, I want to
begin to look at, your role, your portion, in what God is about to do
now. By the grace of God as we continue tomorrow, we'll be looking at
strategy for your response.

But tonight, I'm praying that God could impress upon you, as an
individual, you also, that there is something that God, is looking
forward, to your life, to contribute, as a role to play, in what He is
about to do. God does not speak to men, who are passive. If you were
passive before, whenever God speaks to you, you must change from
passivity, to activity.

God never announces anything He wants to do, to any man, unless that
man, has a specific role to arise, to play in it. And this is the first
issue, that I trust, that God will cause, your heart to see tonight.
Before I begin to look at the book of Amos, where our text is being
drawn from, and where I perceive God will be speaking wisdom to our
hearts, can I just generally remind you, that when God came to announce,
unto Noah, that the wickedness of the earth, has become so much before
him, and that it repented him that he made man, and that he was going to
destroy man, that he had made with his hands, and that there is going to
be a flood.

Let me ask you, why did God come to speak to Noah? Eh? Because God
wanted Noah, to do what? To act. God wanted Noah, to do something about
it. And if you go reading your Bible, you will notice, that the Bible
particularly responded, the Bible spoke about Noah's personal response,
in that situation.

We cannot go to the book of Genesis chapter 6, and chapter 7, chapter 8,
to discuss Noah's response, Noah's role, towards what God was about to
do in his generation. But we can read a summary, of his response, in
Hebrews chapter 11. Would you like to quickly look at Hebrews 11, and
verse 7 please.

By faith, Noah being warned by God, concerning the events, as yet
unseen. Noah, being warned by God, concerning an event, which is not yet
to be seen. Yes.

In reverent fear, constructed an ark, for the saving of his household.
By this, he condemned the world, and became an heir of the
righteousness, that comes by faith. Thank you very much.

What version did you read? ESV. ESV, thank you. By faith, Noah, being
divinely warned, of things not yet seen, God, was speaking to Noah,
about things that have not yet happened.

Things that nobody has ever imagined. God, spoke to him. Did Noah just
hear it and say, well thank God.

Is that what Noah said? What did Noah do? I want you to read it again.
The Bible said, Noah did what? Moved. What is the meaning of the word
moved? Eh? Action.

Action. He moved. When God speaks, and announces, his eternal purpose
and plan, in your ears, what is the first response you need to give? You
need to move.

Those who hear God speak to them, and they don't move, they make a
caricature, of God confiding in them. When God speaks, God does not
speak in vain. A lion does not roar in the wilderness, if there is
nothing to catch.

Praise the Lord. When God, warned Noah, about what, has not yet
happened. What has never yet been seen.

Nobody has ever seen flood before. It has never occurred anywhere. But
once God spoke to Noah, this is what I'm going to do.

What did Noah do? He moved. He responded. He acted.

He did not procrastinate. He did not push and say, till another time.
May I inform you that, Noah moved, not that he was not doing something
before.

Not that he did not have some certain activities or business. But when
God spoke, what God says to Noah, became the priority. Once you hear God
speak to you, there is nothing else to do, than to do what? To move.

Tell somebody, brother get ready to move. Sister, get ready to move. God
normally does not roar, if there is nothing.

That's why, when we come to read, the book of Amos, you will see the cry
of God, to a people that he has spoken to. He has revealed his secret to
them. He has spoken about what he wanted to do in their generation.

And they were going to make, nonsense of it. As if he has not said
anything to them. It will not happen in our own time, in the name of
Jesus Christ.

We are going to move. The Bible said Noah, moved. With what? With Godly
fear.

He moved, with Godly reference. He moved, with a sense of urgency. He
moved, with a sense of divine responsibility.

It occurred to him, that since God said he is going to destroy the whole
world, by flood. He said, let me move, and prepare. A place, an ark, for
the saving, of as many souls that are under my hand, and those that will
believe.

And because he did not know, God did not tell him exactly, are you
hearing me? What particular day or hour, the flood was going to come. So
how did Noah operate? Talk to me, how did he operate? He operated in
haste, he operated with Godly fear, he operated with a sense of destiny,
a sense of responsibility, he operated as someone who is working under a
sense of time. He moved, because he did not know, when the rain will
come.

Every day he woke up, he said, Lord, I hope it's not today you are going
to send the flood. When he was about to sleep, he was praying and said,
God, but I have not yet finished, I don't know whether it will come this
night. So he moved, with Godly fear.

Many, many people have heard God speak, about what God wants to do. Many
people have heard, about the things that God is about to do in our time,
but they have not moved. They have not moved with a sense of urgency.

They have treated what they were doing, with a lazy hand. And so it
looks as if the promises will not come to pass, because the man that God
was depending upon to move, they have become lethargic. One of the
things that I have told God about, that this year, must be a year of
movement.

You will move in the name of Jesus. We are not just looking for
monuments. We are not just looking for one activity of a movement.

We are praying that what God has said to us, will make us to move, until
we become a movement, into the purpose of God, globally. Did you hear
me? This thing that God is talking, is going to be global. We are
moving, we are moving globally.

We are sending men forth, and say you go and move there. You go and
stand there. You go and do this, because God has spoken, the lion has
roared.

Can you imagine, when God, I spoke to you yesterday about Mary, when God
sent an angel to Mary, after that discussion that God said, something
like this will happen, because she has a responsibility about it, the
Bible said, she made haste, and went straight, to where Elizabeth was.
Praise the Lord. All those that God spoke to, they moved.

They rose up, to respond, to what God is saying. Every time God speaks
anything in your ear, listen to me now. Whether directly during your
personal prayer time, or in a meeting of this nature, and God spoke so
clearly, and it dawns on you that God is speaking to you.

What is the next thing God expects you to do? Move. Move. He moved, with
Godly fear.

He moved, with a sense of divine timing. He moved, He moved, no
procrastination, no postponement, no diddling, He moved, and as He
moved, the Bible said, look at what the Bible said about Him, the Bible
said, and prepared an ark, to the saving of His house, by the which, He
condemned the world, and became heir, of the righteousness, which is
according to faith. I don't know whether you ever understand that
scripture.

That scripture is very heavy for me. It said because what Noah did, Noah
became, number one, Noah condemned the world. Noah made God, to be
righteous, for destroying the world.

Are you hearing me now? God, was needing somebody on earth, who will
hear His word, and He will obey it. I imagine that when God began to
speak to Noah, maybe He spoke to some other people and said, God said
He's going to destroy this place. God said He's going to destroy this
place.

You remember how Jesus said, until the time, that Noah entered the ark,
the people were mocking, the people were doing whatever they liked, they
were drinking, they were dancing, they were marrying, they were giving
in marriage, at the negligence of all that Noah said. They were doing
all of that as if, the lion has no reward. They were behaving as if, the
almighty God has not spoken.

But because Noah moved, Noah acted, Noah obeyed, Noah worked with time,
Noah operated within the space of grace that God gave him, he condemned
the world. He justified God, for taking that decision. And then on top
of that, he became the heir, you know when they said the heir, of all
those, who now are the heir of righteousness by faith.

Is that what the Bible said? He became, heir of the righteousness, which
is by faith. That means, I don't know how to put it, the word that is
coming to my mind, is not a good word, but that's the only word. He
became the founder.

He became the foundation, of the righteousness, that comes by faith.
When you obey God, when you respond to what God is saying to you, then
God, will make you, an heir, a founder, a leader, of something that God,
is about to do, in your generation. If we don't move, even in obedience
to God, as God has spoken to us, even what we are talking about today,
we will not see it, am I correct? But for what God is about to do, which
is far, far, far, beyond all that we have seen, he's announcing it in my
ears, he has announced it in your ears, what am I going to do? To move!
To move carelessly, to move whenever I am able, how do I move? With
Godly fear, with a sense of divine timing, as a man on duty, as a man
who doesn't know how long, we will have this opportunity.

Do you remember, when the word of the Lord, came, unto John the Baptist,
in the wilderness, I imagine that he was just studying the word of God,
and the word came to him, what did he do? We were told that John the
Baptist, came into all Judea, and he began to preach, he began to say
the kingdom of God is at hand, he moved, he did something, and everybody
around him, they began to know that something is about to happen, praise
the Lord. All I'm saying tonight, is that whenever God, has spoken
anything in your ears, or in your presence, a responsibility, to act has
come upon you. You can't go back and say, well, thank God for what God
has said, the Holy Spirit is requiring, that you will take
responsibility, to play your role, in that which God is speaking about,
and declaring.

Now, follow me back. Now, because I want to work with this time tonight,
I want you to follow me now to Amos. We will read those two passages of
Amos, then we will take another little passage, just to illustrate, and
after that you will be praying.

All I'm doing tonight is that you will move. God will move you. God will
set you ablaze.

You will take responsibility for what God is saying in our midst, in the
name of Jesus Christ. Now, look at the book of Amos that we read. Amos,
we read chapter 3, and we are reading 3 and 6. Are you there? Right,
Amos, chapter 3. The first thing it says, Hear this word, that the Lord
has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family,
which I brought up from the land of Egypt, May I first note that the
word against that you see in verse 3 is not first and foremost what God
loves to do.

Ah, you are not with me. God does not come in the first instance to
speak against you. If you hear God speaking against a man, what has
happened? That means God has spoken to him, God has spoken to him, God
has spoken to him several times, and he refused to move, he refused to
act, he refused to respond.

When a man had become sluggish and disobedient to what God had said to
him, when he has procrastinated and postponed, you are going to see the
next passage where they were postponing it. When a man has
procrastinated and sluggishly postponed what God said to him clearly,
and God has spoken once, God has spoken twice, God has spoken three
times, the next time that God is going to be speaking, it will be a
speaking against. I don't want God to speak against me.

I don't know whether you like God to speak against you. I don't. It's
never in my desire that I will come to a point where God will begin to
now speak against me as if he has become an opponent to me.

But the only thing that makes God to come to that point is because he
has spoken to them several times, he has told them what to do, he has
cried to them, he has shared the burden of his heart to them, but they
seem to have something else more important. They seem to have other
priorities apart from God's word and God's instruction to them. When it
comes to that, then God Almighty begins to stand against them.

May God never stand against us in the name of Jesus. Amen. And I want to
say to you, brothers and sisters, I believe that God is giving us
opportunity, he's speaking to us, he's speaking to us, he's speaking to
us as individuals, he's speaking to us even as a people, he's speaking
to us as brothers, disciples in Peace House here.

May God speaking to us not become speaking against us. May the Holy
Spirit not arise after some time and say, well, I gave them this, I told
them this, I asked them to do this, but they did not do it. Let God not
come tomorrow to speak against any of you in the name of Jesus Christ.

So what am I going to do? Move. Everything that God has said to you,
obey him. The speaking of God to a man's life is what gives him power.

I was telling you yesterday that every time God wanted to enlarge us, he
spoke to us. I know it. Every time God spoke and I caught him, and I
believed, and I moved, there's an enlargement, there's an expansion,
there's something going to other lands because when God speaks and you
take God by his word and you move, his speaking becomes a mobilization,
it becomes an empowerment, it becomes an enablement.

Every scripture, every word of God you obey releases a divine grace, a
divine enablement, a divine empowerment, and a divine mobilization for
you to enter the next phase of God's way for your life. But when you
disobey, or when you neglect his word, or when you postpone your action,
or you procrastinate, the word that God has spoken to you before will
become a word against you. So when I come in this chapter, and God said,
hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of
Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of
Egypt.

You see the way God began, God now began to recant what he did for them,
how he delivered them from Egypt, how he fought tooth and nail to
deliver them from the hand of that wicked Pharaoh. How God said, and I
wanted to read what God said in verse two, you only have I known of all
the families of the earth. You only have I known of all the families of
the earth.

Ah! I don't know how to put it to you, but as I'm coming to this
passage, I have a very terrible sense in my heart, a sense of
indebtedness. That's why I cannot do otherwise, I must obey God.
Brothers and sisters, I want to tell you, you have no other choice, you
will obey God.

My brother, we don't have any other thing to do. Those of us that live
in Boko, those of us that have come into this discipleship, those of us
that have been allowed, allowed to hear the word of God the way we have
heard the word of God, we don't have any reason, any excuse to do
otherwise than to move. I hear God saying, of all the families of the
earth, you only have I known.

Ah! Well, you know, I don't like to say this kind of thing because it
will appear as if some of us were being proud. It will appear as if we
are taking too much upon ourselves. It will appear as if we are bragging
about ourselves.

But no, if I say anything like that tonight, I want you to know, it is
not a bragging. It's a sense of depth. It's a sense of depth that has
fallen on my life now.

Let me ask you, some of you have gone from one church to another. From
one congregation to another. From one conference to another.

If you want to be honest with me, where have you found the undiluted,
consistent, cumulative, analytical teaching and preaching of the word of
God without anybody playing on your intelligence? Without anybody doing
it in order to collect money from your pocket? Have you found any? I'm
asking you a question. You alone have I known of all the families of the
earth. Sometimes I'm sitting back saying, why are you revealing this
thing to me? Why are you making the word of God to open the way it has
opened? Why is it that you are giving me such insight into the scripture
that people have read and gathered and walked over and yet they didn't
see anything? Why? Each time I ask God, why? He says, you are
responsible for what I'm showing you.

Some of you will not know that when we started to talk about
discipleship, it is not that the word discipleship has not been in the
Bible, it has been there. And it is not that there are not brothers who
try to talk about being discipled. But when you go and you listen, you
will discover that something is missing.

Something that could have changed people's lives have not been touched.
Friend, listen carefully to me tonight. When I came across Let Him Deny
Himself, all the preachers that I have heard preached for many years
that I have been running after, they only talk about self-denial, how
you will not wear good clothes, how you will fast.

They never seem to have insight onto Mr. Flesh. And I dare to tell you
that the word Mr. Flesh, we did not get it anyway. God just brought and
introduced it and said, call it Mr. Flesh so that people will know that
it's a person.

It's not a feeling. It is not just some bad habits. It's a person.

And unless it is crucified, no man can serve God. They will pray, they
will fast, but they will still not be free from sin. We went after the
holiness preachers.

And I sat and sat, we fasted, we did all that we were told to do, but we
did not get victory. And up till now, I still know so many who went over
and over and over and they have not experienced victory because this
light did not shine to them. And what I'm telling you, if it was just
that it's local, you say, where is Boko? No.

All the places, I have seen that that with God, a mercy has revealed to
us was the answer to the cry of nations, of tribes, of people, white
people, Asians, different kinds. Whenever they came in touch with this,
something happened to them. Suddenly they say, but we have never seen it
like this before.

And anytime I hear people say like that, I never thought they want to
clap for me. I only thought they are saying, you are a debtor to your
generation. How could God reveal this to you and it will die in Boko?
How will God reveal this explosive to you and it will perish in your
stomach because you are not moving? I had gone to teach discipleship
some years ago, many years ago in a school of mission.

Before I began to go there, they were teaching discipleship and self-
denial and all of that. But when they said, Rabbi Lee, can you come and
help us take discipleship just for two weeks, something happened. As I
was praying, first they gave me their syllabus and they gave me the
textbook they were using.

And as I was looking at this, I heard the Holy Spirit saying to me, put
aside those things. Listen to what I need to show you to help men here.
Those textbooks, how many has it helped? So I politely said, thank you
very much.

But permit me to develop this course the way God is leading me. They
said, okay. At first they were skeptical because it looked as if, what
is he going to say that we have not been saying? But I could remember
God did something that again put me into a serious indebtedness.

What was it? I started. I just took the conditions of discipleship.
Those things that you are reading in the conditions and what do you call
that book now? Aha.

Those things. Those elaborateness that God allowed us to have. Let me
tell you how it came.

It was one night. I sat there in that village preparing to teach the
student the following day. And I wanted to say, what is discipleship?
Then the Holy Spirit began.

Began as I was noting, noting, noting. I said, God, you mean this is it?
Then I started studying the Bible. I started seeing, I said, ah.

Now, the result was that after one week, I'm going to be there for two
weeks. After one week, something happened in the whole college. Things
changed.

People came under conviction. They were going from room to room from
their lecturer to another lecturer. Say, I, you think I was born again.

I have been wicked. The thing that was lost in those days that you are
setting committee about, I was the one that did it. There was a sister
that you sent away from here.

And you said because she was something. I was the one that slayed with
her. Ah.

The entire place changed. So, both lecturers and students were attending
the class. And I remember the way God was working.

And suddenly, God said, don't leave your hair until every soul crosses
over from the life of the flesh onto the new life. So, I will sit with
individual. I'm telling you, one by one.

All night. And I was always watching when the Holy Spirit will do a
miracle. And suddenly they say, oh God.

I have seen Jesus. I have seen the cross. And immediately, you will see
something left them.

A new life came in. And from that moment, they became different. I had
to sit with every student until it happens to them.

I was in God. So, when that happened, the entire place changed. People
became unusually broken.

So, the coordinators came to tell me, they said, well, Billy, this thing
that has happened, where did you get it? I said, it's not about me, it's
God. They said, why is it that we did not know it? I cannot explain. It
is not because of me.

It's because this generation must hear the truth. And we are responsible
for it. So, one day as I was teaching the class, a sister who came to
that school of mission from Lagos, she was coming from a very big
denomination.

I still cannot forget what she said. Ah, I have not forgotten because it
was violent. Violent.

When she had come in touch with the cross, and Jesus had appeared to
her, and she had seen the evacuation of the old man, they came to the
class and everybody was giving testimony. If I didn't come to school of
mission, if I didn't come for this cause, I would have gone to hell.
Several people were saying that.

Then this sister stood up. Oh my God. Brother Agbile, you are a wicked
man.

You are wicked. Everybody had been saying, we thank God for you. This
sister stood up, looked at my face and said, you are a wicked man.

So if I did not come to this village, you will keep this thing to
yourself and allow me to perish. And if I did not come here, surely I
would have gone to hell thinking I'm going to heaven. But I'm not even
just talking about myself now.

What about the thousands, hundreds of thousands in my denomination that
are groping in darkness? You know the medicine that will save our people
and you have not told them. You are a wicked man. Brother Agbile, I tell
you, you are a wicked man.

You are a wicked man. And she began to weep. And I walked out of that
class with a sense of indebtedness.

I just knew that perhaps, perhaps the whole world one day may wake up
and confront me and say you are a wicked man. You know the truth that
can set men free and you are stingy with it. And you are keeping it.

And you are not moving. And you are so sluggish. Brother, I talk to you
tonight because something must move out of here.

The reason is because the world, we demand their blood from our hands if
we will not move to do what God has told us to do. Listen carefully to
me. For many years, we attended marriage seminars to the point that I
concluded that anybody who is serious for God should not marry because
all the marriages that they were describing to us never worked.

And this was what made me myself to prepare that I would just be a Pope.
That I don't want any trouble in my flesh. I need to serve God till I
get to heaven.

If marriage is going to be this kind of problem then God came and said
no. The original marriage that I planned for my people is because you
have not discovered it. I said where is it? He said Genesis 2 marriage.

Genesis 3 marriage. We've never seen that anywhere before. Nobody has
tagged it like that before.

Genesis 2 marriage, what is that? And what is Genesis 3 marriage? I
remember one night for almost 12 hours, non-stop God would not let me
sleep. He kept revealing and explaining to me that this particular
marriage was spoilt because of the fall of man and Genesis 3 marriage
started and is the one you met throughout until you came to first
Corinthians and all of that. I said oh God.

Haven't you changed your mind? He said no. He still intended to restore
the marriage of his people to what he wanted it to be originally. He
said that's why I'm showing it to you.

And that's why I also want you to marry so that you will be an example,
a prototype of what I'm talking about. Now I'm asking you. Maybe you may
not know.

Those things that we had put together in Marita. What do you call it?
Building Marita, something. No more two and all of that.

If you are reading very well can you take that book and compare it with
any other book you have read? Talk to me. Are they the same? At first I
was afraid. I said oh God.

Is this not going to be treated as a strange false doctrine? Can you
show me people that have come in touch with it so that I can be
confident that this is the truth? And I remember God did something. I
stumbled at one old preacher who wrote something very short. Not
elaborate.

And he began to speak about God's original plan for marriage. With the
devil's words. He didn't call it Genesis 2. He called it original.

I said okay. It means that this light, it only got lost. It's not that
you never gave it before.

Brothers, I want to tell you. Even if you don't know, I am a debtor. For
the things that the Holy Spirit has allowed me to see, to hear, to
touch, and to understand from his word.

It's not for decoration. It's not to make us big. We are a debtor.

So I see God speaking and saying you alone have I known of all the
families of the earth. I concentrated on you. I gave you everything that
will make you good and great.

I put into you every revelation that will make you achieve what God
wants you to achieve. Maybe you may not understand that several of the
things that God allowed us to touch, which we have been living to prove
it. Because the first thing is we must prove the truth that it is real
and it is practicable with our own lives before we can teach or preach
it.

Praise the Lord. Now those principles which are biblical principles,
which are the way in which God wants the body of Christ to run before
the king of kings will return. God allowed us to see it.

Some of you may not understand that we took a risk just to try out with
God if living by faith is possible. If you can set up a walk, a walk of
God, where nobody is paid any salary, whether people will come.
Hallelujah.

When God was saying to me, because when we started, I thought it was not
possible. So when I needed a typist, are you hearing me? I constituted a
panel of interviewer and then we got typist. And then we interviewed and
we employed one girl and we're paying her level four.

As you would dress neatly and come to the office like this and sit down
in the office and hide the chief executive. When I'm coming, the girl
will come, then she will carry my bag and put it in. I thought I started
a good ministry.

Until one day I was praying, God said there is death in this spot. There
is a highly in this walk. I don't use highly.

Ah, I said God, you mean that we cannot even employ anybody? He said no.
All those I will use in my walk, I will call them. No matter how highly
qualified they would be, I will call them.

That didn't look possible. So I begged God, I said God, deliver me from
this highly. Please deliver me, oh God, I'm sorry.

I prayed. I think one week, the girl just walked and brought a letter.
Don't be mad at me.

This is my letter of resignation. I said, when will it take effect? He
said, from now. She thought I was going to be mad.

She did not know that I was being delivered. So I stood up, I said,
Hallelujah for the Lord God. Then she was embarrassed.

I said, sir, why are you dancing? I said, because you are going. God is
delivering me from you. He said, am I a problem? I said, you are not a
problem.

It's just that this kind of walk, we cannot bring a highly. And I'm
happy that God himself is sending you. May God bless you.

So I paid her the next month's salary. She said, hey, I thought you
would fight me. I said, no, no, I will not fight you.

Take more money. Because it's my deliverance. Now do you know that from
that time, when I told God no more, when we needed anybody to type, we
asked God.

It was overwhelming when God began to call graduates, graduates to come
and learn typing and the walking. It was overwhelming when engineers
were told, leave what you are doing, report to product billing in Boko.
It was overwhelming.

When people of high qualification were being sent, when we wanted to
start Calvary Arrows College, I said, God, you know, this is now a very
serious school. You cannot say that they will register you if you don't
have qualified teachers. And God said, is that your problem? I told you
that this is the way I want to do my work.

I said, but I've not seen this before. Even going to teach secondary
school students, he said, if it is my work, no hire me. Oh God, where
will I get this? Where will I get this? God said, that's not your
business.

Just agree with me that we shall do it. I said, yes, Lord, yes, Lord,
yes, Lord. I just believe God.

Then God began to call people. God began to go and call vice principals
to go and resign, to come and teach. God began to call lecturers from
higher institutions to come back and be teaching those small children.

God began to bring people of high qualification. When the Ministry of
Education came to inspect the school one time, you know, they were
coming inspectors, inspectors like this. They are coming, you know,
inspectors, they're like a terror, isn't it? They terrify everybody.

And where is this one? Where is this one? Where is that one? Where is
that one? So they came. Number one, I was also in the school that day.
Something happened in my very eyes.

It was a drama. This inspector from Makodi was going to inspect only to
meet the director that interviewed and employed her into the teaching
service commission. Are you hearing me? Only to meet her as a teacher.

And she was submitting to her, to this new, this person, her note of
lesson, her scheme of work. Then the woman broke down. Said, ah, what
are you doing here? You employed me? You were director? Is this what you
wanted to come and do and you took early retirement? She said, yes, this
is what God called me to do.

Ah. They wanted to check another person. He saw that this one was his
own senior when they were in school.

He said, ah. So they talked to him and said, Mr. Akane, what did you do
to get all these kind of people to this place? How much are you paying
them for them to live that kind of high salary to come here? I said, for
your information, we don't pay God. We can't pay them.

The man said, now, wow. Another one said, I fear you, sir. You know, as
they were leaving, whatever they planned collapsed because we gave them
much more than they expected.

But the question in my mind was, God, can that kind of thing happen? Can
we do such a work such that nations must come back here to say, we
learned that the word of God is still working. Can you show us how to
serve God? We are indebted to God for that. The nations are waiting for
the things that God has revealed to us that he has allowed us to
experience and to practice in our very eyes.

Am I communicating with you at all? God said this kind of school, no
school fees. No levy. Parents that have anything, if they have anything
to bring food for their children or support those that have, those that
don't have, we don't bother.

Nobody will be sent out of Cavalier Road because of school fees, never.
How will they eat? But I have had testimonies over and over again.
Parents say, we don't know what you feed these children with.

After one time, they just become big. We don't understand. Says the
grace of God.

Now, I'm telling you that that kind of kingdom walk is what God is
looking for in his church. We are indebted to the nations to bring the
truth to those who are yet to know how can you do this kind of thing.
When he came to hospital and God said, even hospital, you are going to
do that for me also as a template.

We are not doing this so that we can make money. Where will I get
doctors? These are very costly people. Physiotherapists.

Highly qualified people. We are not talking over all this. Just make
sure when you go to all those private hospitals and they use somebody
who did not graduate very well and they are now... We are not talking of
that.

We are talking of matrons. Chief matrons. Senior nursing officer.

Principal nursing officers. Those that were experienced. We need
consultants.

Doctors that have experience to come and do something. Where will you
get that? I said, God, you mean you want us to do this kind of thing
again according to the principle you are teaching us? He said, yes.
Because I want to demonstrate that the principle of God's word is what
the body of Christ must go back to if we are going to see the move of
God again.

And I'm only using you as a template. So when the medical team was
consulted, I told them, I said, in this, you know the same principle.
Some of them said, hey, sir.

Let us, you know, when we have consultants, let them charge. And then I
said, no. If God is not able to send us consultants, let him wait.

Brother Abba, Peter Abba, are you here today? Uh-huh. Have you been
paying any doctor? Eh? Do you have consultants coming? Do you have
special clinics that you are running? Eh? And how much do you pay them?
You have ophthalmologists, you have gynecologists, you have eye doctors.
All of them, they come and they are serving as unto the Lord.

Where has that ever happened? They are coming from abroad and they want
to stay here and just do their own. And when we allow them, they come
back and say, Bragbili, thank you for giving us a chance to make
contribution. This is the fulfillment of our life now.

This is the kind of thing we wanted. We didn't know how to get at it.
Friends, the things that your eyes have seen in Boko makes us a debtor.

The things that you have heard, the things that your eyes have seen has
made us debtors. That's why it's not about size, it's not about, it's
about something God is doing that is unique. Yes, you may go to big, big
churches, big denominations and all of that.

That's not the matter. I had to stop one work, the work we were doing in
Lagos many years ago. That work was wonderful.

Look, we were already on Radio Lagosa. They were broadcasting the living
seed everywhere. It was wonderful.

The work was looking good. Mistakenly, we did a meeting, a marriage
seminar for one week. The meeting was good.

I was teaching and preaching. I thought that the people that were
working with me, that they are disciples. I didn't know they are
hireling.

I just came down just to thank this brother that is before the mixers.
Ah, bro, thank you. God bless you for what you are doing.

Ah, the Lord is good, the Lord is good. Then another brother said, by
the way, we need to pay him 12,000 for what he did yesterday. 12,000 for
what? He said, you see, as you see, then when they come to organize a
public address and all these things, it's at a fee.

We pay every day. We just set to 12,000 for yesterday. Today we are
going to give him another 12.

As if the brother was saying, don't thank him. He is doing his job. But
he did not know that he has punctured something.

Immediately, my spirit got twisted. I said, God, God, what are we doing
here? God said, that's it. There's no worker in Lagos who close it down.

Then when the meeting finished, I attended the meeting of the organizing
committee. Good brothers, but they have not yet understood this
principle. They were talking about how they are going to keep the living
seed on Radio Lagos, and that we are just running, and that we are
paying this much, and then there's a sister that will ask to help us do
intro, and that she's charging 30,000 to do one minute intro.

I'm hearing those things for the first time in my life that somebody is
serving God and he's collecting something charged like that. I said, eh?
Then they began to say, yes, brethren, those of us that are serious, we
are behind this work, so let's perform. Let's perform.

I'm hearing them, performance means, brother, something. How much did
you say you are bringing? We need it by tomorrow. How much is your own
bringing? I said, where am I? Where am I, oh God? Am I in peace house or
somewhere else? When they finished, I humbly thank them for what they
are doing.

I thank them for their zeal. I praise God for all that they have done so
far, but that we are going to stop. Right, Billy? No, we can't stop.

Ah, we have to stop. I said, because this is strange fire. It will
consume this work.

This work, it doesn't, we don't, I don't need publicity. We don't need
bigmanship. We are not competing with anybody.

We don't need anything. We are not, we are not, we don't want to be the
fastest growing church in the country. No, we don't need all of that.

We just want to serve God. Please, we are stopping. Right, straight to
the Radio Nigeria Lagos that we are withdrawing leaving seat.

Eh, people wrote me all over the country. We are no more hearing your
voice. We are no more saying yes.

We have to stop it because it's not according to pattern. You remember
that the first, the second MLR, the theme of MLR was building according
to pattern. There's a pattern and Jesus is that pattern.

If we don't follow Jesus as a pattern, we are doing nothing here. The
body of Christ is confused because we are not growing according to the
pattern of Jesus. The pattern that God showed us that this is my beloved
son, hear him, we have abandoned that pattern and God is saying, who
shall I send? Who will bring back this pattern to the body of Christ in
revival? That's why we are set up.

We are set up. We are a debtor to our generation, please. So the
peculiar things God had revealed to us.

So when the work stopped and I stopped the work for seven good years,
seven years, one day I was praying, the Lord said, now that's time to
begin the work in Lagos but you are going to start it with one or two.
Don't start with a program. Start with hearts that can be trained.

Thank God for the work in Lagos now. They are breaking forth and they
are growing. They are getting to all the things that God want them to
get to.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? You alone have I known among all the
families of the earth. I said, ah! You gave us this kind of insight. You
gave us this kind of revelation.

The kind of things that God has said, listen to me brother, we are
debtors to God for it. Can you imagine I was praying, I said Lord, God
said he wants us to write book and he gave instruction of how our books
must be written. It's not for show.

It's not to promote anybody and it's not for any of us to get money out
of it. I said, so Lord, how do we do it? He said, I will call men that
will do it for you. Suddenly, God began to call people.

I remember one of our books. After the first book that again fell into
the hand of Hyaline, and God began to say to me, look, what I've called
you to do, people don't understand it. You can't just commit it to the
hand of men who have not been circumcised for it.

If you see us laboriously dealing with issue of discipleship, becoming
like Jesus, learning Jesus, it's not because we want to be, we want to
be difficult. It's because we must build according to pattern. We're a
debtor to our generation, but permit me to finish on that so that I can
get you to where you are going.

So when that other one went the way it went, I repented and said, oh
God, from now on, if you cannot sponsor this book by yourself, I will
not write again. I will just keep, wait until you are ready to do it
according to your pattern. Some of you don't know why the books are the
cheapest you could find anywhere all over the world.

It's because of what God told us. Can I tell you what happened? We
finished working on God's pattern for Christian service, that book on
Deborah. The brother that was doing the typesetting did all the things
that he was supposed to do.

Then they took it to a press, this press in Lagos. And as they got
there, the owner of the press, once he saw Brother Agbile's name, he
said, what? Did you say this book is written by Brother Agbile Akon? He
said, yes. All right, please bring us the manuscript.

And after that, Brother Agbile, the first 10,000 copies were reprinted
for him free of charge. Paper, ink, and everything, including binding
and everything, he has no responsibility about paying for the first
10,000. They can sell it at any price they like.

Are you hearing now? They can use the money to do anything they like,
whether they want to use it to print another 10,000 or what is their
business. Or this one is our contribution to the work. We have seen that
kind of thing before.

What kind of ministry is this? That's why we feel it is going to be a
cheating for me to stand here and say we are launching a book. Somebody
that will pay 2,000 for this will come out. And somebody will walk
around and say, yes, I'm ready to pay 20,000 for five copies.

It will be an insult, an ingratitude to God whom we serve. That's why
you will never see us with. Because we understand what God wanted to do
and the pattern he wanted us to showcase for the body of Christ.

We are a debtor to the body of Christ for this matter. Now, as I'm
talking to you now, look at God. We never say, oh God, we need a press
to print these books.

Oh God, Lord send us a press. But you never ask me. So we all repented
in our small staff retreat that time and said, Lord, we ask you for a
press.

You know what happened? Two weeks after, I got a call. Hello? I say yes.
Is that brother Billy? I say yes.

Oh, my husband and myself, we have decided as a family to give our press
to Peace House. But we want to find out whether you will need it. Are
you hearing what I'm talking about? I thought they said they would give
us one machine.

Because before this time, I went about pricing. Charles, do you remember
the kind of, you remember that thing that you were trying to get, that
that's what we shall be using to print this work? Our eyes can't see
well then. Suddenly, that call came.

I fell on my knees. I said, God, is that it? He said, yes, you told me
to send you a press now. When I sent the brethren to go and see the
press, I swear that they are going to bring a whole, a whole
organization.

Every, that press is what you are seeing here. When you have time, just
go inside there and see, and see Agbalugu, Uri of Yolo, Ulu Dumari. Eh,
go and see.

The day we were bringing the thing in and people were rolling it, I was
saying, ah, God. Just at once. Magnus had to think quickly how to build
this place before the gift that is coming because we did not expect it.

And as I'm talking to you, even now, people are undertaking to print our
book and say it's free of charge. On their own. What kind of thing is
this? Where is God going with this work? What does God want to teach the
body of Christ and everything he's doing? What kind of template is God
asking us to produce for his church all over the world? We're indebted.

Our debt is, is, is, is, is, is, I don't know how to put it. It's
invaluable. We owe the body of Christ in our generation something that
they are looking for.

And it has come to speak to us about Christ, about himself, about how he
does his work. About how he raises men. About how the purpose of God can
be done.

And you see, everywhere, every one of us are going, all our brothers,
all our staff, because they have understood this same lifestyle. The
same thing is happening. It's happening in Cote d'Ivoire, Baba.

Eh? Can you imagine somebody just called Brad Dennis and said, look,
this, this, this, this, this complex, let's use it for your office. Free
of charge. What kind of ministry is this? What is it that God is working
in our lives for the body of Christ to learn? It's not just for us to
enjoy.

We are indebted. So when I see people that God went and pulled
somewhere, down over stairs of their churches and God pulled them and
said, go and become a disciple in peace house and be doing whatever they
tell you to do. This is strange.

But we can't stop it because it is God. So now, please hear me. If God
has taken this time to do this thing in your eyes, you are indebted.

That's why I'm begging God for Goko brothers and sisters, those of you
that were with us when there was nothing. You are indebted for the
things you have seen. How can you stand up here and misbehave anywhere
else? Heaven will query you.

Say, what are you talking about? Didn't you hear the word of God? Didn't
you see it practically in your very eyes? Did you not experience what we
are talking about? Oh my God, the kind of things that God has done, I'm
afraid. He wanted us to start training, training, what you call me late.
And God said, this kind of training, even though I will bring people
from all over the world, they will not get certificates because the
certificate you will give them is Christ, is their life.

You don't get letter of recommendation, you will become a white piece. I
said, God, they will not come home. He said, who told you? They will be
pressing to come.

As I'm talking to you, you have seen it, have you? You have seen the
middle age, you see South Africa, you see French people, you see English
people, you see all of them coming all over for me late to Boko. This
was a prophecy that God said would come to pass. We have seen it.

We are debtors. You are a debtor to live right. Are you hearing me? You
are a debtor never to preach a wrong doctrine.

You are a debtor, a debtor because of the things that God has allowed us
to see, to hear, to handle. You alone or you only have I known of all
the families of the earth. I didn't want to take the next line but I
must really said, therefore, I will punish you for your iniquities
because of all that I have shown you, all that I have taught you, all
that I have allowed you to see, all that I have allowed you to
experience.

Even as we are talking, talking now, you go to the BMC, you know that
BMC is not an ordinary look at him. You go there, you see equipment, you
see all kind of things that God is sending by himself. And I'm just
watching it and I'm praying for the staff, I say, may they not
misbehave.

May they not change the pattern. May they not bring something strange
into this place. May God help them to have a sense of indebtedness the
kind that has fallen on my own head.

I live as a debtor every day. I could not do otherwise. The things I
have seen, the things I have known, the things I have heard, the things
that God has particularly taught me, the things that God has allowed us
to speak has put us under a serious sense of debts.

And I must not die a debtor. We must pay this debt into the nations.
That's why we are bold to say, Lord, send us disciples from different
nations so that they can catch this and go back and spread the fire.

I see God saying, if you ask me for it, I will still do it. And I'm
watching how God is calling men from different places and say, go to
that place. Go to that place.

There's something there you must catch. If your life is going to be
correct, if your ministry is going to be correct, if you are going to
serve God acceptably, go there. I must not tell you other stories
because it will make it look as if these people, they believe too much
in themselves.

No, we believe in God. But because God has put his hand on our lives, we
dare not do otherwise. We just have to behave well.

May God help you to behave well. As we meet, as you carry tent, as you
go here and there, you know, receiving people from all over, may you
never take that for granted. May you never misbehave.

May the Holy Spirit keep reminding you that you are passing through a
divine process because this is going to become a movement. So, what is
your first role apart from moving? It comes in verse three. Can two work
together except they be what? Agreed.

Now brothers, except they be agreed, can two work together? And you
know, for me, I'm not just talking about me and you working together
first. I'm talking about you and me working together with who? With God.
May I tell you that God has come to offer you a space as a partner in
what he wants to do in this generation.

Brother Sam Ahemen is here. The kind of things that we saw when we just
obey God to respond to the burden for teachers. And I remember telling
the brethren, I said, look brothers, you know, I'm not talking about a
salt in a sachet.

I said, what we are talking about is not something that is just among
Christians and Christian schools. I said, what God wants to do is going
to affect the educational system. Praise the Lord.

That's why we said, let's believe God. We will write a curriculum that
will be adopted by ministries of education. As we talk now, can you
remember how many different states, ministries of education that are
sending to Peace House to come and give training for their teachers.

We are not talking of Christian teachers. Are you hearing me? We are
talking of teachers. Or primary school teachers, or secondary school
teachers by government.

Where have you seen this kind of thing before? What is God about doing
around us that is exposing us to these principles? But, can two work
together and say they do what? They be agreed. So, what is apart from
moving with godly fear, the next thing I will call you to do is to come
into personal agreement with God. What do I call it? Personal agreement
with God.

Please, agree with God. Agree with God, my brother. If you are going to
be relevant in what God is saying, you need to do what? Agree with God.

Was it Job? Please, let me read Job. I think Job said you should agree
with God quickly. Is it Job? Please, let me check.

Is it Job 2221 or 2122? Please, let me check. Brother Dennis, you used
to read Bible. Can you check for me? I think it's 21, isn't it? Job.

Job. Let me find out if you get it. Sister Shade, please.

2221. All right. It was now.

Read 2221 and go on till you get to verse 28 for me. Yes. Now, acquaint
yourself with God.

Yes. And be at peace. Thereby, good will come to you.

You are not reading it very well. Now, acquaint yourself with him. Yes.

And be at peace. Thereby, good will come to you. Now, if you are reading
the old King James, he said, thereby, good shall come unto you.

Go on. Receive, please, instruction from his mouth and lay up his words
in your hearts. Receive, I pray you, the law, the word of God from his
mouth and lay up his words in your hearts.

Are you hearing me, brothers? One of the things that you will need to do
as your role and responsibility in this, in this move of God is to agree
with God quickly. Stop contending with God. I want to see every disciple
here become prompt obedient.

That whatever God tells you to do, do it! Don't talk about it, go and do
it. Don't be a talkative, go and act. Receive, I pray you, the law, the
word from his mouth and lay up his words in your hearts.

Go ahead. If you return to the almighty, you will be built up. You will
be built up.

You will remove iniquity from your tent. Yes. Then you will lay up gold
in the dust.

Then you shall lay up gold as dust. And the gold of offer among the
stones of the brooks. Alright, thank you.

What version have you been reading? New King James. New King James. Will
someone rise up and read that for me from Living Bible? Living Bible.

Do you have Living Bible, ma'am? Quit quarreling with God. Eh? Quit
quarreling with God. Please give him the mic.

Quit quarreling with God. Take somebody by your side, brother. Quit
quarreling with God.

I don't know what God has done to you that you are quarreling him. Eh?
What has God done? Talk to me. What has God done that you are quarreling
him? What offense has God offended you that you are the last to make him
the king of your life? What is it that you needed that God did not
provide that you are still struggling with God? Brother, stop quarreling
with God.

Yes? Agree with him and you will have peace at last. Agree with God.
Some of you are sitting here.

God has told you to leave what you are doing. To report to serve him
full time. You are still quarreling with God.

You started this quarreling when you were 40. You are now 50. You are
still quarreling with God.

And you don't have peace. There's nothing to show for all that you are
quarreling about. Your responsibility in what God is saying is that
agree with God quickly.

Stop quarreling. Give God space because it's a privilege for you to be
used of God at a time like this. Are you hearing me? Stop being stiff
naked.

What God says, go and do for me. Go and do it. It is your contribution
to the move of God.

It is your contribution to the purpose of God in this time. Yes, sir.
His favor will surround you if you would only admit that you were wrong.

You see? God's favor will surround you if only you will admit that you
have been wrong all along. Yes, sir. Listen to his instructions and
store them in your heart.

Where do you store them? In your heart. I am begging all of you that
this year God has offered to work with you. God is saying my mighty hand
will be upon you.

Please agree with God quickly. Agree with God quickly. Receive
instruction from his mouth.

Lay his word upon your heart. Don't let the word of God pass. I want to
see every disciple in this meeting become obedient promptly.

Let us all know that this is our time to see the glory of God. This is
our time to prove the glory of God again. And what God is going to do
with us for you is favor with surround you everywhere.

I'm yet to see the kind of dimension that God is speaking to me about
and I say, ah, ah, all that I've seen before is there is nothing. And
I'm already beginning to with fear and trembling. I'm seeing the new
dimension, the kind of thing God said I wanted to do this year and I'm
going to do it.

There are things that I thought, ah, could it ever be? And when God
said, yes, it is time. We walk into it in obedience. We have seen it
done.

And there are more things that is about to happen. But I beg you, my
brother, let there be nobody here who is quarreling with God. Sister,
stop quarreling with God.

Brother, quit quarreling with God. Agree with him quickly. Brother, go
on reading.

Read on. If you return to God and put right all the wrong in your home,
then you would be restored. If you give up your lust for money and throw
your gold away, then the almighty himself shall be your treasure.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Are you here? God almighty himself wants to become your
treasure. Money will no longer be a matter in your life. Because God
himself wants to become your treasure.

But you see God saying, if only you will throw away your lust for money.
You see, during the end, my Lord, God began to deal with an issue. Very
strong issue.

And I will say, oh God, this is the kind of thing you want the church,
the body of Christ to return to. No longer to serve money. We will use
money but we don't serve money.

Money will come into our hands when we no longer look for it. We will be
spending money in millions when it is no longer our pursuit. And God is
saying to you, you sitting here, if you will cast away your lust for
money, brother, can you repeat that so that we can clean up.

If you give up your lust for money and throw your gold away, then the
almighty himself shall be your treasure. He will be your precious
silver. Then you will be delighted.

Then you will delight yourself in the Lord. And look to God. You will
pray to him.

And he will hear you. And he will fulfill all your promises to you.
Whatever you wish will happen.

And the light of heaven will shine upon the road ahead of you. Amen.
Listen.

Are you hearing? Will you do this in obedience to God? Will you know
that this kind of vision retreat that I'm sharing with you is not just a
mere talk. God is speaking to us, giving us direction on what we must do
in order to enter into all that he's speaking about. Ah, the other day,
you know, I don't know, many things used to affect me, small things like
this.

I was going for a peace house staff retreat. Peace house staff retreat.
And I think I was going a bit late.

And I didn't remember. I saw plenty cars parked all around the hall of
meeting, plenty different cars. Ah.

I saw a jeep. They jeeps. kind of have not seen in my life before.

I said, which meeting is this? The brother that was with me said, it's
staff retreat now. I said, peace house staff retreat. As if I was just
dreaming.

I said, eh? And there are these kind of all manner of cars, jeeps, eh?
V8s. My God. Peace house.

The young brother that sat by me said, uncle, are you what are you
talking about? I said, don't I said, God. Because he didn't know where I
entered. I entered to the recesses of my heart.

I remember how when anybody want to come to serve God, people think you
have signed your life out for poverty. It looked as if we were just that
our children would just be dropped out, they would not go anywhere. It
appeared as if, ah, how can you do that? Be careful, be careful, don't
let them confuse you.

That's how it appeared. But I was looking at this tough retreat that we
used to have. I'm sure Sister Comfort will not forget how we used Amaku,
Amaku Hotel for our staff retreat and that their little restaurant was
the big hall that all of us sat in and we were okay.

I'm now looking at the staff. In our staff meeting we have to interpret
in French. Are you getting me, sir? We have to interpret it now, for
those who need the interpretation.

We are interpreting in Thieve language for those who are Thieve staff.
The people that come from South Africa, they are on their own. So even
this staff has become international also.

So we have to wear name tags now in order to recognize people who are
staff. This thing that started in that small room, you mean this has
happened. And God said, what you are saying is nothing This people who
are staff.

We have to tags The fact nations from the Francophone people from the
South and the Central America, they are on their way. and I'm looking at
God. I say God, so you are talking of a walk.

that all All tribes, all tongues will be laborers in it, and yet it is
starting in a little place called Boko. Thank you, Jesus. Now my
friends, stop quarreling with God.

Today is the 10th of January. I wish you withdraw the line and say from
today, 10th of January, 2019, no more quarreling with God. No more
argument against His will.

What you told me to do, Father, I will do it. Where you tell me to go,
Father, I will go. Let my life also be an expression of this revival
move that you are talking about.

Lord, use my life also. He said, when you will do that, he said, my old
King James says, then shall you lay up gold as dust, the good of offer
as ordinary stones. Yes, the Almighty shall become your treasure, shall
become your defense, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

It's coming. There are not going to be dropouts. Praise the Lord.

Everything that is needed for God's work to be done, it will come. It's
not my business. He knows what to do.

It was that our sister, Mrs. Azenge, of blessed memory. Some of you, you
remember our dad's sister. We were in MLR, 1995, and she brought one
Bible verse, and as she read it, I knew that's the word of the Lord.

He said, for what do you make requests? How many of you were in that
meeting, and you remember? That sister has gone to glory now, but they
are all standing there saying, we were part of that thing. Lord, you
promised us. If they can look back and see this tent, and see the thing
that's happening, they say, thank you, Lord.

You did not deceive us. Can two walk together except they be agreed?
Will me and you walk with God except we agree with God quickly? So, I
beg you tonight, God has not done it. Surely, the Lord God, the Lord
God, will do nothing except he has revealed his secret unto his servant,
the prophet, the lion as rod, who will not fear.

The Lord God has spoken, who cannot but prophesy. Let me now ask you, do
you think God is just speaking in vain? Is the lion of the tribe of
Judah roaring when he has nothing to catch, eh, brothers? The lion has
roared. The Lord has spoken.

Why will you not respond? Why will you not arise and say, oh God, here
am I, send me, here am I, send me, I the Lord need somebody, here am I,
send me, here am I, here am I, send me, here am I, send me. Send me,
here am I, I the Lord need somebody, oh yes, here am I, send me. This is
where I want to stop for tonight.

My portion in what God is saying, because he's speaking in my ears, the
lion has roared. God will not have opened his mouth, roaring like this,
if there's nothing to do. And beside, the thing that God said before, in
our very eyes, has come to pass.

And the new things he is announcing now, he's saying, and I'm speaking
it to you, because you have a role to play. I'm going to stop on this.
When God will allow me tomorrow, because it looks very critical, I will
come back on Amos.

Then I will be speaking about Amos and some others who took practical
steps. And then we shall begin to say, Lord, the things you are sent to
do, then we'll be speaking about those issues that God had made clear
presently, that we must rise up into, you also. You also.

If you are not important in this matter, God will not allow you to be in
this meeting at all. The things you are hearing, the things you are
seeing, the things that you are touching. The things that God is making
vivid before your eyes.

The things that God is shouting it into your spirit over and over again.
They are the things for which everyone is going to say, but I roared in
your ears and you did not respond. I spoke in your ears and you did not
prophesy.

You, you only have I known among the whole families of the earth. I'm
asking you tonight, stop quarreling with God. No, I moved, he moved.

If you will not move, then you are not responding properly. Cast away
your lust for money. Don't die serving money.

Money is not a worthy God to serve. There's nobody that did it and
rested in peace. The day you lay it down and you say, God, now here am
I. That's the day all that you have been chasing will start chasing you
behind.

I have been praying that those of you that God is speaking to, you will
sit down this year. Let's talk together. If God is saying, I want you in
business for my glory, for my purpose, come let's talk about what is
God's pattern of doing business.

Those of you that God is sending to be in academics, come let's discuss
what is God's pattern and what is God's purpose for you to be in
academics so that you can make quick progress in it. Stop quarreling
with God. Stop moving at loggerhead with the Lord.

Stop procrastinating obedience to a clear instruction. If God is saying,
you also go into that vineyard and take your place. You also go into
that Cavalier Rose, take your place.

You also go into that press. Whatever is right shall be given you. And
someone may be, God may be saying, you also bring your life out.

But we need someone to go to that nature and set up this kind of work
there. You also go quickly and learn French because we need you in the
Francophone nations. You also go and perfect your outside language
because we will need you in charge and in Niger Republic because you are
the one that have seen this life.

You are the one that can tell the story of how it began. In recent
times, I began to ask, Lord, how do you want to move? And God began to
remind me, he said, of these people that have been with us from the
baptism of John, have you, oh God, appointed to have a portion of this
ministry who might go with us to be a witness of your resurrection. Do
you know that it was not for nothing that God allowed you to be here
from the beginning? You are a debtor.

Don't die a debtor. During the MLA, there was a call. Many people came
out, thank God.

But tonight, there's a call again, stop quarreling with God. Don't think
that what God wants you to do in your lifetime, you can keep postponing
it, postponing it, postponing it. Don't let the word that is coming to
you turn to be a word against you.

May the Lord help us tonight. But I hear Jesus Christ standing here
tonight and say, this is another day that God has set. And today, if you
hear his voice, harden not your heart.

Some people hardened him, but the word they hardened did not mix with
faith in their heart. And so they perished in the wilderness. 40 years
ago, I was not happy with that generation.

This night, God is saying, stop quarreling with God. Hand over to God
tonight and say, Lord, enough of this quarreling. I surrender my life to
you.

Let's arise and pray. And as we are praying, Holy Spirit is saying
tonight, stop quarreling, stop struggling. Stop looking here and there.

God wants to become your treasure. Agree with God quickly. Agree to do
what God is telling you to do.

Agree to obey him as he has spoken to you tonight. Thank you. Let's pray
together.

I just want you to lift up your heart and your soul to God. And this
night, I want you to take a response. There will be a chance for you to
come to this altar this night to say, Lord, whether it's the issue of an
addiction or sin, that God is saying, stop struggling with me.

Agree that you are wrong and I will turn it around. Agree that you have
not done well and I will forgive you and give you a new beginning.
Please call on God together with me.

But for me, I know I'm a debtor. He said, you are the only family I have
known in all the earth. And I'm saying, oh God, where else could I have
gone and met the kind of thing you have shown me? I listened to people
over and over and over and over again and I do so with humility.

And yet I know that they did not know what God has shown us. I have seen
very hardworking people but they did not understand the messy seat that
God brought us to. I'm a debtor.

So tonight, if as you are praying, the spirit is saying, stop quarreling
with me. Go and settle it with God. He said, come, let's settle the
matter.

Just come before him tonight. Just walk out by yourself. I will not be
calling you.

I just want you to come out by yourself and say, Lord, enough of this
quarreling. I just want you to come out by yourself and say, Lord,
enough of this quarreling.
