Full Transcript

to shoot out and help us see the different centers all over the nations that are inside this meeting and they are going on just like ourselves seated. If we were able, they would have shown you all the different people, whether in the Francophone world, but all of that, we never thought about that as a January, 2020. And we never thought that could be possible as at that point.

As at the point in which this word of God was coming to us and it was telling us that what we're about to enter into, we render everything that we have done over the years as very, very small. Our eyes have begun to see that, that now it is possible that several men and women, different tribes, different tongues, different nationalities, they are running with the fire. I would like us to pray that prayer again before we take our next input for tonight.

And that song, I wish I wanted to stand with me again. We're singing it. Not I, but Christ.

Be honored, be loved, be exalted. Not I, but Christ. Be seen, be known, be heard.

Not I, but Christ. If you'd like to stand up, please do. I think we should stand up to this point.

Page 28, hymn number 13. Not I, but Christ. Be honored, be loved, be exalted.

Not I, but Christ. Be seen, be known, be heard. Not I, but Christ.

In every look and action. Not I, but Christ. In every thought and word.

Oh yes, oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord. Oh, to be lost in Him. Oh, that it might be no more I, but Christ that lives in me.

Stand at three now. Not I, but Christ. In lowly silent labor.

Not I, but Christ. In humble earnest thought. Christ, holy Christ.

No show, no ostentation. Christ, known but Christ. The God of the spoiled.

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord. Oh, to be lost in Him. Oh, that it might be no more I, but Christ that lives in me.

Not I, holy Christ. No, I don't ever fall in. Christ, holy Christ.

No needless bosnian night. Christ, holy Christ. No self-important bearing.

Christ, holy Christ. No trace of I be found. Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord.

Oh, to be lost in Him. Oh, that it might be no more I, but Christ that lives in me. Not I, but Christ.

My every need supplying. Not I, but Christ. My strength, and yet to be.

Christ, holy Christ. For body, soul, and spirit. Christ, holy Christ.

Lifteth Thy life in me. Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord. Oh, to be lost in Him.

Oh, that it might be no more I, but Christ that lives in me. Christ, holy Christ. At long we fear my vision.

Glory except. Me soon, for soon I see. Christ, holy Christ.

My every wish fulfilling. Christ, holy Christ. My all in all to be.

Let's pray together. I'd like you to pray just for yourself. And just say, Lord, I want to renew this covenant with you.

Not I, but Christ. Be seen, be known, be heard. We have come to Rehoboth, and you are giving us room to be fruitful in the land.

And we've heard you speak about the unlimitedness of what you want to do in our day. We have heard you, oh God, and we have seen it beginning already. We have seen it breaking forth already.

You spoke to us, say a little one will become like a thousand. A small one will become a nation. I, the Lord, I will hasten it, I will perform it in its time.

Lord, we have seen you doing it now. It's difficult for our mouth to explain it. An unstoppable move of your spirit has begun.

We see you moving into denominations, into cathedrals. We see you taking your word, oh God, into lands and nations where we thought we could never be. We see you, oh God, drawing men and instructing them to give attention to your word now.

Our Father, we are asking one more time, we will not touch the glory. Can you tell God, I will not touch your glory. I will not share your glory.

I will not take your glory. Lord, I am satisfied just to be a vessel, an unprofitable servant, I want to remain. Lord, by the working of your spirit, I will not touch your glory.

Please pray, please ask God to help us about that. Christ, only Christ, no idol ever falling. Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling around.

We are not going to be making any sound that points to our self-life. Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing. Christ, only Christ, no trace of I must be found.

Lord, we want to hold you by your word to help us. Some of our brothers were not there when you started with us. Some of our men, they were not there, oh God.

When we tears, we committed ourselves to you, we committed this work. When it was still in a very small sitting room. When we will come for discipleship class, and we will just be 14.

And we are taking attendance. We say 14 people came on Monday, 12 people were there for Tuesday. Before we came together and said, let's just do it on Wednesdays.

And everything we did, we could contain it in that small room. Then you said, this thing will go all over the world, if we don't touch your glory. Now Lord, we are sitting and standing together here.

Father, we will not touch your glory. In the name of Jesus. Thou who helps a man not to fail.

You will help us in the name of Jesus Christ. Thou, oh Lord, who never will allow your name to be dragged into the mud. We put our hands in your hand again this night.

Let it not be on the account of any of us. That your glory will be withdrawn in the name of Jesus Christ. This night Lord, we want to ask.

That as we go on in this meeting. Give us a proper scope. Give us a proper understanding.

Give us a proper sense of responsibility. Lord, may we not disappoint your purpose at a time like this. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Lord, we are not being presumptuous. What you said you will do, you said. What I said to you before has taken place.

Now I speak of what I'm going to do. New things I'm calling forth. Lord, we beg you.

That for each one of us, these rebels. Must never, never finish in our eyes in the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, please arise on our behalf.

Thank you. In Jesus name, we have prayed. Amen.

Please be seated. God bless you tonight. Amen.

Now, this paper has been distributed to you because. We are going to take and input in it. Peculiarities or peculiar features of this move.

But before I will refer you back to it. I think I will be reading it. And studying it with you.

To see the peculiar features. Of what has happened or what has started. It is very important for us to do so.

And the reason I'm going to share with you right now. I would like all of us. There are three passages.

That we have read over and over and over again. In the course of our growth. In the course of our understanding of what God.

Wanted to do. Which he had been speaking to us. I feel again tonight.

To bring you back to that passage. Now, when you think as if I'm repeating myself. I do not think of repetition.

I've only thought about emphasis. And I sense. That I am only taking responsibility.

In order for this that God has brought us into. Not to be scuttled. Not to be cut short.

Not to be misinterpreted. Or mishandled. And you know I was just hoping.

But I realized that so much that God has said. It will take us a long time. To be able to recap them.

What our brethren brought to us now for just 21 minutes. It was a message that we sat here for about three hours. Almost 40 minutes.

To go through. And I will still be begging all of you to go back. And ask for those instructions.

That you will need to study. Now but this evening. In order to put context.

To what is the scope. What is the global scope of what God has brought us into. I would like us to take some few scriptures together again.

We have read them. But as I kept praying the Lord said go back on them. And highlight them again.

So that these brothers. These sisters. These bearers of this fire.

These vessels that God has assembled to himself from nation to nation. May have an understanding of what God is doing. And because it has gone beyond Boko.

It has gone all over the country of Nigeria. It has gone beyond us. It is now in several nations of the earth.

And even places. That we never thought. Will be yielding to what we are saying.

They are sitting in this meeting already. And we are not just talking about those who just carry their handsets. And either in their car or in their.

Or they are just doing following Facebook and all of that. We are not talking of that. That one is a crowd of his own.

And we have no way of measuring them. We are talking about people that have gathered like this. And they are doing visions retreats.

In Takum. In Jalingo. In Yola.

In Yobe. In Gombe. Everywhere.

Where people are sitting. And they are. Studying together with us.

Some they are interpreting it in the local languages of their own. It was important. For us again to bring this matter out.

Trusting that the Holy Spirit will give you a sense of responsibility. And the first thing that was coming for me to share with you. Was the story that we have read over and over again.

In the book of 2nd Kings. Please follow me to 2nd Kings. Now somehow.

God has used that instruction. To guide our hearts. And to insist.

On what we did. Over the years. There were several times I kept praying Lord do we need to do this again.

And this person will come back. But today it is not the story. That I really want to speak about.

There is just one matter. That God is raising in my spirit. Which he has raised over time.

But I feel that we need to be men and women. Who understands the responsibility of our rebels. There is a reason why God is opening doors to you.

There is a reason. There is a reason why God. Is giving us the open door that we are having.

The invitation to ministries that we are having. The call of God on our lives that has come. The good open heavens.

That is coming to our lives. There is a reason for it. But there is a responsibility to take.

And I feel that. We need to take that responsibility. According to knowledge.

Now please go with me. To that 2nd Kings. 2nd Kings.

Did I say chapter 20 before? No I don't want to go to chapter 20. Chapter 13. 2nd Kings chapter 13.

Now. I don't intend. To go back.

Unto the man. Elisha. Because I was going to believe that he did his best.

And he was concerned. About not perishing the move of God. In his own day.

It looks to me as if. Elisha was a man of capacity. He was a man of a large heart.

He was a man who can anticipate. Something bigger. Why did I say that? As at the time.

That we are speaking. Elijah. Hallelujah.

If you remember. Even up to the time. That Jesus had come.

Everybody that wants to speak about a powerful prophet. Whom do they refer to? It's Elijah. In fact.

In the whole. Understanding of the scribes. They were looking forward.

That Elijah. The way he disappeared. That he was going to come again.

Do you know that? Do you know that even when Jesus Christ came. And he was describing. The ministry of John the Baptist.

Because everybody believed. That the highest prophet. That has ever ministered.

Was Elijah. And so they felt that. There is an unfinished work.

That Elijah is going to come back to do. So they were always looking for him. So Jesus Christ had to say look.

Of all. That have been born of a woman. There was none.

There was none. But John the Baptist was greater than them all. You remember that.

Even on the month of transfiguration. Who are the two that came. That appeared.

Elijah and Moses. So Moses represented the law. Elijah represented what? The prophet or prophecy.

But now we have a man. Who was brought up. By Elijah.

And why everybody believed that Elijah was the highest. Was the climax. This young man under Elijah.

When Elijah was about to go and said. Ask me anything you want. Because the Lord is going to take me from you today.

You remember. How. Elijah.

Asked. And said I want. That the double portion.

Of your spirit. Will follow me. Do you know that.

We will meet some persons. Because they regard what you are doing. So serious.

They will say. If only. If only.

God can just give me. Ten percent of your anointing. I will be alright.

Have you heard people asking such a thing before. So we say. The way the anointing of God is on this man of God.

If I can just be allowed. Just to shake hands with him. And when you just shake hands with him.

Like this. They carry their hands. Then they will put it in their pocket.

And they will not shake anybody again. For some hours. What I've collected.

I don't want. Why do they do like that. Because they have a very very small heart.

As regards what God is about to do. That's where I'm begging God to help us tonight. The reason is because.

A move of God. Has capacity. To overrun the whole earth.

And God will not even feel it. But. It can only be.

According to. What men on earth. Are willing to let God do.

This is where. We have to speak to ourselves. Very clearly.

So when Elisha. Was going to request. I want double portion.

Of your spirits. And you will remember. That Elisha said.

You have asked what. A hard thing. Which even me cannot give you.

You are asking something beyond me. Where will I get double portion. Of my spirit to give you.

If to say you should. I should give you. 20% of my spirit.

What will I do now. I can do that. Even when.

Moses. Complained that. He cannot do the work of God alone.

God said. Give me 70 men. What will I do.

I will take. Off. A little of your spirit.

And I will do what. I will give them. So all those 70.

Did they get anything more than Moses. No. And actually they were not an increase.

To Moses. They were only distributed. Out of him.

They just got some. And there was nothing. None of them ask.

For anything serious. So this man said. I want double portion.

Of your spirit. It must be something inside of him. There must be an enlargement.

That is telling him that. Whatever Elijah was. I want double of it.

Wherever Elijah went. I want to go twice of it. Whatever grace.

Elijah exercised. It can be much more. And Elijah said.

Well. If it is God. There is no limit with God.

You can have it. But if it is me. I can give you what I don't have.

So he told him. If you see me when I am taking off. Then you get it.

If not. I am sorry. Did you get it? Which means.

God. Is able. Please hear me now.

God. Is what? Is able. Abundantly able.

To give to you. Far far beyond. What some of us.

Have collected. Is God able to do that? Whatever is making you to think. That we.

That are standing before you here. We are already at the climax. And that is the highest high.

That you could ever hope to go. May God perish that thing in your spirit. This evening.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Why did I want God to perish it? It is because. As you see me here.

We are only at the beginning. I am not yet at the climax. Even though this beginning is looking so wonderful in your eyes.

Is looking so great in your eyes. But I kept hearing God saying. Everything that you have done.

Will become so small. Compared with what I wanted to do. And have I not seen that? Over the years.

Have I not seen that there was a point. When we thought. When we thought.

19 Gardo Hospital Road. Was a big place. When our actual tent was looking wonderful.

When it was looking like the biggest hall you could get. And when we would just stand and be looking at that thing. And all these my brothers.

Brother Moses, Andy, all of them. They were all laboring. Because we felt something is breaking forth.

And then the first meeting. The thing was filled. The second meeting.

We don't know what to do. And as we are praying. The Lord said you see.

You are the one. Everything you want to do can be kept. In this place.

And he booted us out. And we came here. And it was looking big.

Of course. As at that time. Was this not the biggest hall in Goko Town? I am asking you.

Was it not the biggest hall? It was. All the places that you put at the press now. It was part of this thing.

And yet. There is no space. And in our mind.

Those who do not know where we are going. Those who cannot see what God is talking about. In their mind.

They are shouting. The whole town has gone after them. That is why they are shouting.

They were wanting to fight. He is taking this. He is taking that.

And I remember. Just because we were doing a meeting at Gadu Hospital Road. And vehicles were parked.

We crossed the other side. Vehicles were parked. Machine hire boys were finding great business.

Because they were just running. And I remember somebody was passing. On the road.

And he was saying. What are they doing here now? They have closed the road. I never imagined that we can close road.

Are you understanding? So that looked as a big thing. Our ministry has closed the road. So I am asking you now.

What is that road? That we are saying was closed. And God kept saying. Do not limit this.

And we stood in this place. This same place. In 1998.

And God brought us to that passage. You have asked a hard thing. And God said.

Do not ask me for a small goat. We were there. And God said.

All that you have not seen. Is because you have not asked. What you do not have.

Is because you did not ask me for it. So. Why is this ninth instruction very important? Why we have to go back? It is because.

Unless God gives you an understanding. A largeness of heart. To discover divine possibility.

That is far far beyond where we are now. You may accept mediocrity. Hallelujah.

You may accept what I call. The best around mentality. Excuse me please.

What is the best around mentality? Who can quickly tell me the meaning of that? The best around mentality. Brad Dennis. Please give Brad Dennis that mic.

Because you need to understand. Let me call it the local champion mentality. Alright.

The local champion mentality. God must deliver you from it. It will be a serious prayer.

Because what God wants to do now. That local champion mentality. That best around mentality.

Heaven must take it away. So that we do not waste our level balls. Very important.

Very important. You know there are champions in your local clubs. When you take them now to the state competition.

Your own champion which is your best. Is coming 25th position. Will anybody mention the name of your school? But that's your own champion.

We are not working on the best around. So that our environment does not limit what God wants to do. The fact that even in our locality there are certain things they've never seen.

That does not mark the climax of where we are going. Hallelujah. So.

When Elijah said ask anything and the young man said double portion. Even double portion at that time. Was something nobody could contemplate.

What can be more than a man who locked up heavens. For three and a half years and there was no rain. What anointing can be more than that? What anointing can be more than someone who was feeding.

And God fed him by the ravens. What anointing can be much more than a man who stood up there. And said according to my word there will be no rain.

And heaven was shut up because of his own statement. And kings and the policemen they went everywhere and they could do nothing. And the day that he needed to come and open the heavens.

He walked in again. Ah. And Obadiah saw him and said ah.

He said Obadiah come, come, come. Go and tell your master that I've come. And I'm going to show myself to him.

Obadiah said excuse me sir, have I offended you? Eh, you want to put me in trouble because. Where have they not looked for you all over the country? The price tag on your head is still there. And if I go now and I said I have seen Elijah.

And before I will come the spirit of the Lord. Will do what? Will take you somewhere. So you see Elijah had a reputation.

That even the common unbeliever in town. They knew that the spirit of the Lord used to move with him. Policemen came back.

After searching, searching they said excuse me. Nobody can arrest this man because the spirit of the Lord used to move him. In fact when they give us a link that his son were here.

By the time we are getting there. They said that the spirit has taken him. He is no more there.

He said so if I go now and I say I saw Elijah. And that he is going to, he want to appear to the king. And they said okay go and bring him.

And the spirit takes him away. What will I do sir? He said don't worry I'm going to show myself. So he went and met the king.

He said Elijah is here. The king said Elijah is here? Elijah is here? Elijah is here? And he wants to see me? Yes. Cancel all protocols.

I want to see him. So as Elijah was walking in. Now I'm looking at such a height of anointing.

That will have been a climax. And Elijah walked in. And the king said.

Are you here thou troubler of Israel? You know what he is saying? For three and a half years. None of us could sleep because of what he said. Because of what he said.

All farmers are weeping. Because of what he said. There is no food.

The troubler of Israel are you here? And then look at that man of God. Boom. He said I? You call me troubler of Israel? You.

Your mother. And your father's house. You are the troubler of the people.

And tomorrow. I want you now to call a meeting. Call the whole Israel.

I want to talk to them. So who is in charge? Eh? He took over. He said call them, call them.

Send for them. I'm meeting with them. And make sure that all the prophets of Baal.

And all those prophets of the groups. They are all in attendance. And we will gather on Mount Carmel.

The king said yes sir. And everything was done. So if you are under such a man of God.

Will you not be satisfied even if you just got 20% of that anointing? Eh? Will you not go in about. I said you know. Do you know Elijah? You know prophet Elijah? I said yes.

You know I was the man that used to carry his bag. You like to do that. When you are myopic.

When you have no sense of understanding of divine possibility. When you think God only does something that finishes. When in your heart you are thinking that.

Eh? Bragule they are doing something. And let him not die oh. Let him not die oh.

Because if he die now everything will die. When you have that kind of narrow mentality. You cannot understand what to do with Rehoboth.

And it is important. The reason why I need to do this tonight. Is because the dimension in which God wants to move.

The only person that can reduce it. Are those of us. That God is entrusting.

With what he wanted to do. So we have to pray. This thing must not become small.

Because we make it small. Did you hear me? What did I say? It must not become small. Because I have made it small.

And I am speaking to several of you here tonight. I am trusting God that something will explode in your heart. And some of you are too quiet for too long.

Because you thought hollowness is equal to holiness. Because you think that narrowness. Is a manifestation of humility.

Because you think that enlargement. Or divine largeness. Is devilish.

So you imagine that to be small. Is to give glory to God. No.

And I want to pray with you tonight. That something will happen in your spirit. Because Rehoboth is here.

And God has made room for us. And we shall be fruitful in the land. We will come to conclude at that point.

Before we pray. Now, so when that man opened his mouth. I said double portion.

To the point that Elijah. Who could ask anything from God and he would get it. Said what you have asked.

Is a hard thing. And I remember that in 1998 we stood there. And we said ask God for a hard thing.

Some of you were there. And thank God. The hard thing that some of you asked for.

God did it. But you ask. It look hard.

To you at that time. Because that is how much we understood. And I thank God.

That God has come again. May God help you in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, but what I'm talking about is not now about Elijah.

And I'm not talking about Elisha. Because the ministry of Elisha. Manifested.

More than double of what Elijah did. Both in scope. In intensity.

In impact. In authority. In every dimension.

But. When it was time for him to go. This story I want to read with you.

Came up. And this story. I would have not been bothered about it.

But the spirit has not allowed me not to be bothered about it. And what I'm bothered about. Is the only little thing I want to share tonight.

And I go away from there. Go to verse 14. Now Elisha was falling sick.

Of his sickness. Whereof he died. And Josh.

The king of Israel came down unto him. And wept over his face. And said oh my father.

My father. The chariot of Israel. And the horsemen thereof.

I don't have time. To be explaining what that meant. But those of you that read your bible you know that that.

Was exactly. What Elisha. Said.

When he was grabbing. The mantle. Of Elijah.

Eh. So number one. I have a sense of feeling.

That this Josh. This Josh. He may have read.

The methodology. He may have read. The language.

And he thought that let me just use the same language. To collect the anointing. Excuse me.

What we are talking about here is not language. It's not language. And it's not semantics.

What God is saying to you now. Is not a slogan. And I want you to move away from slogan.

Tonight. I want you to pray. Unto something boastful.

In your spirit. I want you to go beyond. The mere routine.

Of mere repetition. I want you to. I want God.

Yes. I better beginning to beg God. I want God.

To do something in you. Let the Lord enlarge something inside of you today. I'm from today.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Are you hearing me my brother? I want you to know that there is nothing you ask. That God will say is too big.

You cannot carry. A tanker. A water tanker.

To the ocean. And then. The ocean is saying.

Uh-uh. You want to fetch me finish. Does ocean say like that? Abba.

The tanker will collect. And the ocean will never feel. That you have fetched anything.

That's the God that we are talking about. That is the Father that has come to us. That is Him.

Who has opened a river. To our lives. And to our land.

But. There's something that you must catch. On this before.

We get into pray. Now. What was that? Once the man said it.

Elisha was not bothered about. Whether he said it correctly or not. That's not the issue now.

And Elisha said to him. Take the bow. And arrows.

And he took unto him. The bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel.

Put your hand upon the bow. And the man put his hand upon it. And Elisha put his hands.

Upon the king's hands. I'm just looking at a great man of God. Who did not want the move to die with him.

I'm just looking at a man of God. Who knew. No matter the double portion.

On Elisha that he had operated in. There is still something much more. For the younger generation to collect.

I'm looking at a man of God. Who never thought. He was going to be.

The final last. In the purpose of God. Are you hearing what I'm talking about? I'm looking at a man of God.

That will not hide. Any cancel of God from any life. I'm looking at a man of God.

He had been disappointed several days by. Gehazi. Do you remember Gehazi? And you see the cry of his heart.

When Gehazi went for. For the lepers clothes. Do you remember what he said? The man of God said.

Gehazi. Is it time? Is it time to collect olive yards? To collect clothes? Is it time? To be collecting the droppings. Of the.

Of lepers. Is it time? Is it time to look for change of women? Is it time to be talking about shoes? You know why was he talking to Gehazi like that? It is because I want to tell you. Even when.

The anointing began to flow. Even if you are just around Elisha. And you have not even got the anointing.

You can get clothes. You can get dropouts. You can get good things.

And I was telling my children the other day. I said. Let the testimony of this revival.

Not be that we have more cars. Let it not be. Since God began to move.

I have plenty clothes. There will be clothes. There will be cars.

There will be provisions. All of those things are coming. But they are not the matter.

Let nobody come to measure. The prosperity of this house. By the houses.

That is not the issue. I know for those who do not understand. They say.

Thank God this ministry has become big. And they would like to say. Can you want to take a tour? Would you like to take a tour? And you see this work.

If we want to give you a tour. You can spend the whole day. Happy? Touring all the different things.

And then you say. Come and see. Come and see.

This one. So you have this also. So this has happened too.

So this has happened. And all of that. May become so much important to someone.

Who does not know where we are going. And you begin to settle for such ordinary things. But you see.

These things that you are talking about. They are not the promise. This is not what God was holding out to us.

That he wants us to collect. Oh my God. But all this.

They will normally follow. And I am praying. That you will not be quickly settled.

With those kind of things. Oh. I didn't hear your Amen.

I wanted to know. In your very eyes. All those things will become you know.

But that's not what we came out of. That's not the issue. And they will not be the issue.

In the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible. Was showing me about this man of God.

Said Gehazi. I gave you a rod. To go and wake up a dead person.

Nothing happened. And that did not. You didn't cry.

You didn't cry. Me. I followed Elijah.

He was a man that kings respected. But I never asked for his clothes. I pleaded for his.

Double portion of his spirit. You, you are not crying for anything that I carry. Only what lepers brought.

That I rejected. That you are running after. And you went and you are talking to a leper.

With a beggarly spirit. He said, you know. And when you left.

Some visitors came. And there was no food in the store. So my master said I should quickly run after you.

Look at that beggarly, beggarly spirit. Telling lies. Exaggerating.

Exaggerating your need. When some of you want to exaggerate. What is not a sin.

Well we thank God. You know in peace house. In peace house.

They don't pay us salary. We are just there. We are just there.

And then one non-believer is saying. That's what they are doing to you. God punish them.

Where you are supposed to become something. Somebody say God should punish us. And you say Amen.

Don't you know that you are entering into a problem. Gehazi. Was there to overemphasize what was not needed.

Only to collect the sympathy offering. Of a leper. What do you want to do with it.

Don't you want to follow people like us. Wouldn't you cry to God and say. God what this brother Gbile God.

That we make him to even reject land. And reject cars. Abba.

Tewase was my witness. When one day. A governor.

From another state came. And because we said. We are going to lodge you.

We are feeding you. And we don't need anything from you. He had class food money.

And some people warned him say. Are you going to peace house. Don't disgrace yourself.

They won't take anything from you. Just sit down there. And this man.

Came and say. Excuse me sir. Excuse me sir.

They have warned me before. I said you are not properly warned. We don't take such things now.

Go back. The things that you have heard. Go and do it in your state.

We have come to that place. There is no problem. What is it that we came to collect.

Don't use this rehoboth. To collect goats. And chicken.

It will be a waste of rehoboth. What God elects you to collect. That will affect your generation.

That will cause the purpose of God to prosper. By your hand everywhere you are going. He is waiting for you.

Don't be distracted. Don't preoccupy yourself. With the peripheral issues.

So when. This man quickly came and said. The chariot of Israel and all of that.

He said okay. He decided okay. Since I know I am about going.

I know I am about to die. If you are here to collect. It is okay.

Put your hand on the bow. And take the arrows. And the man of God put his hand on the man's hand.

That is what I call hands on discipleship. Hands on training. You are being told how to shoot.

Now what I am dealing with. Is now in verse 17. And he said to the man.

Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said shoot.

And he shot. And he said. Now look at where I am stopping.

The arrow of the Lord's deliverance. And the arrow of deliverance from Syria. For thou shalt smite the Syrians in Africa.

Till thou have consumed them. And he said take the arrows. And he took them.

And he said unto the king of Israel. Strike or smite upon the ground. And he smote rice.

And he stayed. And the man of God was wrought with him. And he said thou shouldest smite five or six times.

Then as thou smiting Syria till thou has consumed it. Whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. That's where I want us to stop.

That's where the story is hooking my spirit. All of you are you listening? Are we together? May God help us in the name of Jesus. What was the matter here? That this arrow.

All of you please. This arrow. This arrow.

That you are taking. Is not a personal arrow. Is the arrow of God's deliverance.

Please get this. It is the arrow of God's deliverance. It is the arrow of deliverance from Syria.

And the man of God defined for him. What is the definition? He gave him the scope. He said the arrow of the Lord's deliverance.

The arrow of deliverance from Syria. For thou shalt smite the Syrians in Africa. Till thou has consumed them.

Did you see the word till? Did you see till? That is the word. That is the scope. If he did not put the word until you have consumed them.

Then would I say well if he didn't tell him. He didn't give him the scope. He didn't give him understanding.

But there was an understanding. Let's look at it again. The arrow of the Lord's deliverance.

As if God is handing over to you. The arrow of the deliverance of God. And the arrow of his deliverance.

The deliverance of Israel from Syria. Please, please. Are you with me now? If it was a personal arrow to fight a personal battle.

You can use it. You can use it in your father's backyard. And when you have cleared whatever is troubling your father's backyard.

You can be a local champion. I say thank God. The arrow that I collected.

I dealt with everything. So the 50 by 100 of my father's cloth I collected it. But this arrow is the arrow of God's deliverance.

This arrow is the arrow of deliverance of God's people from Syria. Until you have consumed them. Are you hearing me? This arrow that God is giving to us now.

It is not. It is not peace house arrow. I don't know whether you are hearing me at all.

If it is peace house arrow. You use it to build peace house. And begin to make a tour of your peace house.

But this is not. This is the arrow of God's deliverance. This is the arrow of the deliverance of God's people from the hand of their enemy.

And it is not to be operated for a little time. How long are we going to shoot this arrow? Until you have consumed them. Until you have made his enemies his full stool.

Until everywhere. Every space. From Africa.

From Africa. You know the way they were describing. They said from Africa.

Until where please? Till you have consumed them. This is that arrow. So if that man understood.

He was being given. The arrow. That would be in his hand.

He would be shooting it. He would be smiting. Until everything Syria.

Has been what? Consumed. And I am begging God. Will it be clear as we were praying yesterday.

Will it be clear to you. That what God wants to do now. Is not one small ministry.

Amen. It is not one small organization. God is releasing an arrow for this end time.

God is giving to us a room. To do something in our generation. Until his enemies are made his full stool.

And I know. God will do it. God will enlarge your heart.

God will cause your spirit to see it. God. Who is not intending.

That this will end again. God is not intending. God is not intending that this move.

This revival. Will stop. Until.

Righteousness. Has been established on the face of the earth. Now let me pause.

Let me pause. Because I will come back on this. But let me show you the until.

The until. The until. That characterized this work.

Before I will ask you to go and read. What were noted as the peculiar features. Now.

I want you to look. At several promises God gave us that came with the until. Isaiah 32.

Please go quickly with me to Isaiah 32. And we will read. And I will read again.

I read it over and over. And some of you that are following you will know that I have been reading this. For quite.

A time now. Will you like to read from verse 15. I was wishing I can read your chapter but.

Time will not allow me to do that. As I have so much. We need to share before we pray together.

But look at verse. 15. I read up to verse 20.

What did it start with? Until. The spirit be poured. Upon us.

From on high. And the wilderness. Be what? A fruitful field.

And the fruitful field. Be cantate. For a forest.

Then judgment. Shall dwell in the wilderness. And righteousness.

Remain in the fruitful field. And the work of righteousness. Shall be peace.

And the effect of righteousness. Quietness. And assurance.

Forever. And my people. Shall do what? Shall dwell in a peaceable habitation.

And in sure dwellings. And in quiet resting places. When it shall hail.

Coming down on the forest. And the city shall be low in a low place. Blessed are ye that sow.

That plant. That invest. Beside all waters.

That send forth there. The feet of the ox. And the ass.

We are not just asking for a little shower. Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high. And the wilderness.

Becomes what? A fruitful field. Dry places. Will become a fruitful field.

And until the fruitful field. Is canted for what? For the forest. The extent to which God wants to work.

Which we are beginning to see in his threshold now. In the heart of God. This move of God is going to overthrow wickedness.

Now I'm talking about it now because. I don't want you to be narrow. As regards what God is going to do with this arrow.

I don't want you to be narrow minded. As regards where. God is going to shoot this arrow to.

I don't want you to allow. Our small environment. To make you so environmental.

That you cannot see. The scope that God is setting. For your rebels.

Praise the Lord. That's why I'm going to stop at a point. And we read the features that God has defined for us.

We are doing that. So that even when you begin to pray. When you begin to plead with God.

You'll be praying with a dimension. You'll be asking God. With a dimension of heart.

You will not. Waste your opportunity. I know what I'm talking about.

I told you yesterday about wasted prayers. Do you remember? And I said don't do that again. After a long time.

After a long time. That. People have been saying.

We wanted to go and visit the governor. There's a governor that time. That it looked difficult to meet.

So suddenly. The man was invited for an MLR. And because he did not know.

That such a thing is happening in his domain. Are you understanding? He never knew. Other governors are coming.

And of course they will send him a signal. That we are coming to your domain. Can you prepare for us? And so they will arrange.

He will be wondering where are they going. They are going to Boko. So he was worried.

What are they doing there? Then one of his commissioners said. Your excellency. It's better for you to go there and see.

So when the man came. And he saw a crowd. Something happened to him.

So. As we were going you know. I was taking him to the pavilion where we were going to.

Entertain them to eat. He said pastor. Pastor.

And you didn't. We didn't know that this thing is happening here. If anybody said there is a hall.

A building. And they brought a photograph. And they said can you guess where this is? My head will say it can only be in Lagos.

Or Port Harcourt. I didn't know that it is in my domain. Pastor.

Pastor. So he said. Is there anything I can do? I said there is nothing you can do.

I said the only thing you can do. Is to just surrender your life to Christ. And.

Allow God to walk in you also. As you see us talking. What can I give? Nothing.

I remember. When the sisters have served them food. He was just feeling bad.

He said sir. Please allow me. I know.

I can't do anything here. But these ladies have served me. They have given me food.

I had to wash their hands. So he was calling one of those sisters. To squeeze.

Something into their hands. Just for the sister that served. Those ones said no no no.

We don't take something. That was again a problem. Even your.

These people. They don't take anything from us. I said yes.

We don't take anything like that. So he said but sir. My heart is here.

I will need to come back. So that we can discuss. I said okay.

No problem. When I have a little time. I will pay you a courtesy call.

In your office. He said. We will be grateful.

You know I thought. Courtesy call to the government house. Is just a small thing.

Honestly I have never done that before. And. It was on the road.

We are going. To the justice squad. I said.

Now. If we get there now. Definitely the governor will require you to.

Say something. Have you prepared a speech as a speech. No.

There's no speech. Just to greet him now. He said.

He said the way I am perceiving. There'll be a lot of protocol about this. Your visitor.

Because I saw the filler. And the beat. Everybody was saying.

Welcome sir. Welcome sir. I said.

When did that become so important like this. So as we went in. I discovered.

The chief press secretary or whatever. Was. Already everything was arranged.

There was a microphone. Everything was arranged. And they were all finally to sit down.

Because. There's a court seat. By brother Billy Akane.

On the governor. I was wondering. So they all came.

All commissioners. All these they all sat. And then the.

The chief protocol was ushering me. And went and put me. A seat.

Directly by the governor. I'm sitting there. And all the brothers I went.

I thank God I didn't go alone. Because I never thought. You need to do that.

So I went with these brothers. So we all sat. Then the protocol master said.

Your excellency. We are highly honored. To have the man of God.

To pay a court seat called. To the government. They have enlarged it.

So I'm visiting the government. So they all sat. It was then.

What brother Polycarp told me. Became serious. So I began to dribble.

What I was going to say. I generated all I'm going to say there. So when.

They have greeted and all of that. They said okay. Now over to you sir.

What. Do you want to say to the governor. And to the government of Benue State.

Of course. I will not fail to take such an advantage. So.

I did I did I did I did. I said. We've been here.

We have prayed for this state. And we are looking forward to. A transformation.

And we want to offer you. Two things. So do you all settle.

What would this man of God offer us. I said we. Are going to offer to train.

All your teachers. In Benue State. Because we are concerned.

About. The academic standard. Of our children.

And we are going to do that. For the state at no cost to you. Come and see everybody clapping their hands.

We are prepared. And we are going to bring our resource persons. And all we request is to.

Use your organ to gather them. Anywhere you choose. Secondly.

No state. Is higher than his leadership. It is the leadership.

That determines. The destiny of a people. We also want to offer.

To make an input. Into the leadership development. Of.

This government. I know they were surprised. Because when all others came.

They brought a long list. Of this thing they need to help them do. Of this.

Building they need to finish. Of this something. Of that of that.

Nothing. So when he was going to respond. He first told the story of how he was.

Dazed. And how. There are fathers in this land.

That are seeking the welfare of the people. And he said. All the requests we made.

About training of their teachers. The commission of education. Are hereby direct.

Now you lie us with peace out over that. Secretary to government. Please act.

On the issue of our own leadership. Development. All advisors.

All appointees. All of that. So I thought that.

When you finish. I didn't know that. There's another small room.

Where we will now. And it's now. Only the governor.

And a few. For us to talk. Are you understanding.

So the question. That bothered me that day was. For what do you make requests.

You just came before a big man. And he said. Now tell me.

Whatever you want us to do for you. So I say. Asking for the CEO.

I say me. CEO for what. For what.

We have a great thing to do. If we are doing something. That heaven has ordained.

We already have a CEO from heaven. They will have to be begging us. To collect the CEO.

So that is not what to request. That would be demeaning. For me to make that kind of request.

Do you understand. So. When we stood up to go.

And then the governor said. And for whatever land. That you are needing.

Send some of your men. And there was one brother. Who was working this.

Of your general something. He said. I know that this one of your member.

Please come back and see me. Over whatever peace house need. That was all.

Are you getting what I'm talking about. That is even a governor. That we did not relate with.

So what am I saying to you. What to collect. With this rebel boss.

Don't go and ask for biscuits. I want God to deliver you. From the mentality of what to eat.

God is bringing us to a rebel boss. It is the arrow. Of God's deliverance.

For nations. It is the arrow of God's deliverance. For his people.

Until. You have consumed them. Until.

The desert has become a fruitful forest. Until the fruitful field has become a forest. Until righteousness begin to dwell.

In the land. Are you believing God for that. Or do you think it is impossible.

For God. To give us. The use of this land.

I'm asking a question. Are you thinking. That God is not able.

To hand over to us. All. All the traditional.

Councils. And I'm not just talking of thief land. I'm not just talking of all the Benway.

And we have just started to see it. But I'm talking of. Traditional councils.

Of all different dominions. All over Nigeria. And jumping into other nations.

Are you thinking it is impossible. Are you thinking that God is unable. For this arrow.

Until all those who sit in authority. Begin to bow. Eh.

To the lordship of our lord Jesus Christ. Is it impossible. Don't use this arrow.

To kill rats and rabbits. I know what I'm talking to you about. You know sometime.

Because mosquito. Is troubling you. Eh.

And you had. A very big. Stick.

And because this mosquito is worrying you too much. You forgot. That mosquito is too small.

To be killed. With that big stick. And you did that.

You mosquito. Foolish mosquito. And before you know it.

You are hit your neck. With a big. A big plank.

Who will be damaged. I hope you know that mosquito will escape. Don't use this arrow.

And that's the prayer. But what was now a problem for me. Was that God is going to be giving you audience.

Audience with the king of kings. All of you are you hearing me. God will be giving you audience with himself.

And you will be hearing in your heart. And God will say for what. Do you make request.

When we prayed here yesterday. And we said Lord. Release unto us the spirit of prayer.

And the spirit of supplication. Because God. Said I will cause the children of Israel.

To ask me. To do it for them. So when God begins to open the door of prayer to you.

And he gives you audience. Audience with God. Audience in the oldest of oldest.

And they ask you. For what do you make request. May you not.

Waste your rehoboth. May you not. Engage.

This open heaven. To do something insignificant. And I'm charging all of you that are in this class now.

Including all our leaders. Can you pray and say Lord. You are giving us open door.

You are giving us open heavens. God is opening door. If you call a crusade.

Everybody wants to come. But because you are narrow minded. You did not think your crusade.

Should go first. And say we are in this land. And we need.

To talk to the. Fathers of this land. And so you said.

I need to see the district head. The clan head. All the heads.

All of those ones. We need to have a meeting. And you go boldly and said.

God has sent me to this land. And we felt that we need to begin with you. So I'm coming to greet you in the palace.

And to pray for you. And I want you to please gather all your. Chiefs.

Because there's something God wants to give to this land. Will they gather? I'm asking a question. Will they? And if you bless them.

Will God answer? And. If any of them was sick and say. Before we get into the.

Into the market square. You are supposed to be the first partaker. Of what we are brought.

Is there any see anybody sick in your. In the palace. And then you see Baba say.

There's this boy. Even me myself. It's okay let's pray.

Do you know God is going to honor your prayer? Yes. You have not done that before. But Rehoboth has come.

You ever thought that. This anointing is to gather boys. But this anointing that has come.

God has made room for us. And we shall be fruitful in the land. In the name of Jesus.

Now but where is the problem here? The Bible said. And the young man. The young man.

You know I've left the word until. Because I wish. You now we take your scriptures.

And begin to look at all the until. That is in the promises God had made to us. Then you see that.

You can't stop short. Of the scope that God is setting. Now where the problem is.

That we are needing to call on God. And pray about. What is it? And the Bible said.

And the man of God was wrought with him. And he said. Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times.

Then as thou smitten Syria. Thou hast consumed it. Whereas now.

Thou shalt smite Syria. Thrice. And Syria will take over.

So let me ask you. That Syria. Was not.

Completely consumed. Out of the territory that God wanted. The children of Israel to occupy.

Till today. Whose fault was it? Eh? Talk to me. It was that Joash.

It was that Joash. And what is my crime? And I want to tell you something quick. I don't want to spend time on it.

But just to give you an understanding. And for you to please join me to pray. God has given us.

Open doors. That has been unusual. God has opened.

Unusual doors. Unto us. Permit me to give you one or two or three of that.

It's an unusual door. When God said. I want you to bring together.

All the apex clergy. Of all the. Mainline denominations.

God was saying that to me here. Fear grieved me. I said eh? Did you know what you are asking me to do sir? To bring archbishops, bishops.

Those people with their collars. And with cap on their head. Lord.

Lord. They will ask me. Where is your collar? And you know I argued that with God for several.

I said God. Why don't you want me to also go and collect that thing? So that when they say reverend something. I will be able to say yes.

God said no. You don't need that. That's not what we bring them.

When it is time I will bring them. That was why I arrested my case. Now God said.

It is time to bring them. And I remember I argued. I said God.

So you know what we did? Who are doing mail out here. That particular year. I think it's 2001.

And just reluctantly to. Try to quench my conscience. And to prove to God that I told you they will not come.

So I just did. One small. Small workshop.

For clergy. Say clergy. We in turn invite some of the clergy.

Some from Otupu and all of that. And where was their own venue? It was this my small. Guest house here.

The parlor. Eight of them came. So when all others are doing big workshop and all.

I was going to meet with them. There are only eight. Sitting in that small parlor.

You see. And then the people. One of them said.

Brother Gili. We know God has told you to call us. I have not said it.

God has told you to call us. Don't be afraid of us. Call us.

We need to hear this thing. That you are saying. As if.

The way. They were. Interpreting the dreams.

In the camp of the Midianites. For Gideon to hear. Are you understanding? That was what happened to me in that small room.

I keep a lot of record of history in my head. Because I know where those things began. I said so.

They said call us. So I went back. I told the brethren I said this thing.

So I just wrote a letter. We started sending it to Archbishop. This Bishop.

That Bishop. This Senior President. This President of Convention.

That was sent. And God gave me what to do. He said when they come you respect them.

They will come in their regalias. And you give them their honor. Good food.

You will lodge them properly. So I called our brethren. I said this is what we are doing.

It may be costly. But it is going to hand over. The entire denominational churches.

Into our hand. To my surprise. That first meeting.

We did it at Taka grave. Eh? That was where the meeting held. I thought they are not coming.

We dressed the place. And they were coming. Purple.

White. Black. With caps.

With long crosses. And they were coming. We have never done such meetings before.

It was a strike. So we stood up. The word of God came.

You know I was not bold to make what I call. How can you. How can you call such men to the altar.

Then one of them. When the word of God came. And was very serious.

He stood up. He said this word. Do not look at our dress.

We need God. Call us. To the altar.

And the man stood up and said look. You know God is speaking to me and you. Come to the altar.

And people began to come. Tears. I was trembling.

I said God. What are you doing here? One other man that we asked to come. When he came and saw.

He called me and said. Billy. Where did you get these people? We spent so much money.

In Abuja. To invite. They can come.

So we just said. Well we are busy. And we just said.

How could you bring them to this bush? And they came. The man looked at me and said. This is nothing.

But the hand of God on your life. Unusual doors. And these unusual doors.

Is not for us. Is for what God wants to do. In the nations.

And from that. When the messages were preached. I told the media.

Please. This is not to be sold. You can't be selling.

This kind of message. As if you are ridiculing our fathers. So I said.

No. If we want to give it at all. It will be to them name by name.

If they want. Don't want anybody to see them crying. As if somebody overheard me.

Say brother Billy. We use episcopal authority. To command you.

These messages. Should be. We need it.

All our colleagues need it. So tell your people to bring it there. We are buying it before we leave here now.

And you know they speak with authority. I can only say yes sir. And God.

Has honored this world like that. Unusual doors. That door God has kept it.

He has not closed it. It is now. Operating in different nations.

The last clergy retreat that we did. In October. Several nations.

And report were that. They never expected. That this kind of thing will happen.

Whole denominations. We are not talking of denomination of one general. Of two churches.

We are talking of people that are. Over thousands of congregations. And they are saying this.

We need it. Now this arrow. Is not for us.

Is not to promote this house. Is for the body of Christ. Is for the body of Christ.

Until. Syria. Is consumed.

Hallelujah. Until. His enemies.

Have been made his foes too. Until the desert. Has become a fruitful.

A fruitful field. And a fruitful field. Has become a forest.

And righteousness dwells. In the forest. This is the arrow.

Of God's deliverance. But when that man struck three times. And stopped.

Heaven also stopped. You know I was thinking that. Elijah.

Elijah would have said. Continue now. Continue now.

But Elijah. Was so angry. With him.

He said you see. Why did you stop. It means you will strike Syria.

Three times. And after that. Syria will take over again.

You have wasted the arrow. That's my cry tonight. An arrow of deliverance.

Has been released again. To the body of Christ. And this is that arrow.

Unusual doors. Unusual doors. To theologians.

Is not our door. Is God. Unusual door.

Let me tell you. Unusual. Unusual doors.

To the ministry. Of education. You see.

There are things that. God is leading us to do. That people are wondering.

How are you getting it. That. State.

State governments. Not just Benue. Akwa Ibom State.

Cross River State. Other states. They are saying.

We want to enter into collaboration with Peace House. To train our teachers. Whether they are Christians or Muslims or anything.

Because it is an official training. All of them are there. I wish I have time to call.

Some of the teachers. Who went to Akwa Ibom. And because there is no hall.

Where you can gather all the teachers. So they did it. At their sanatoria levels.

And we are dealing with thousands. Of teachers. And God told us.

You will do it free of charge. You will feed all those teachers. That are participating.

At least one meal a day. Ah. And you are going to give them.

Resource materials. And you are bringing. Resource persons.

That are of quality. And tell them. It has no cost to them.

And one time. A brother went somewhere. And somebody with a principle.

Was not interested. But when he came. And got what we were teaching.

Got the word of God. Then he stood up and said. He said.

If this is what all the churches are teaching. Nigeria will have changed. I am coming now.

I am coming back. Unusual doors. Unusual doors.

Because what we are talking about. You thought that. There is nothing.

You don't have anything to do with secular education. But now they are bringing their teachers. And they are saying.

Can you train us? And it is not just one small local government. We are talking of whole states. These were things that we were thinking.

It would take many years. Before what we are talking about. Before we be.

Anybody will give attention to it. But God. Is giving us unusual doors.

Unusual doors. To the universities. Unusual doors to palaces.

Unusual doors. Unusual. I tell you.

It is unusual. Can you imagine. The other time.

One of the Afaraman ruler. Has said. I want it for everybody in my domain.

Whatever you want to do. Just send me. I will gather them for you.

Another person was to be coronated. And it was our brothers. In Nassara.

That organized. They said. We are also going to do all the coronation.

Seven days. So they were meeting with him. Praying.

Fasting with him. Preparing him for the throne. On the day when the whole community would stand up.

They brought him from inside. You know. If you are in the traditional area.

That is a place where all chiefs have to be hidden. Before they are coming out. So they are bringing him out now.

From the oldies of oldies. Where we have been. He had been drinking the Holy Ghost.

He came up and declared. That the whole entire kingdom. There are so many.

To Christ. Unusual doors. We have not seen it like this before.

But what is the purpose of these unusual doors? Until. The enemy. Until Syria.

Have been consumed. Not until you have got some few members. Not until you have started some few classes.

Until everywhere. Schools. Universities.

Government houses. Economic. Organizations.

Until they have been brought. On their knees. And do you know that.

We will live to see it. We read of revivers. Where.

Judiciaries were closed down. Because hearts of men have been melted. Those that have cases in court.

They have gone to withdraw it. People are going about to recites. I was the one who stole your father's land.

And I cannot sleep again. Come and collect it. All those things happen because.

The arrow of deliverance was being shot. And God has come again. We are in a new season now.

But I have an obligation. That we must not make it small. We must not think little about it.

We must not waste it. It must not be wasted in our hands. In the name of Jesus.

During the last MLR. We deliberately took time to study. 2 Kings chapter 4. Do you remember? Perpetuating the move of God.

All of you that attended MLR. You remember that we spent time. Looking at that woman.

There was one pot of oil. That is able to fill the whole land. Eh? But what does she need? She must need vessels.

Say go borrow vessels. Borrow not a few. And as long as there are empty vessels.

The oil cannot stop. The oil did not stay. It kept flowing.

So let me ask you. Who limited the quantity of oil that was produced? It was the woman. It was what she gathered.

That became the limit of what God was doing. This is where. Need for prayer.

This is why. I just feel that today. I must share this with you.

So that the spirit of God. Can break your boundary. That God will make your heart boundless.

That God. Will give you an insatiable hunger. For what God.

Has proposed to do. In our day. Until.

And I'm just begging God. That it will not stop. Because of my own narrow heart.

Some of you are now sitting in different nations. And what I'm talking to God about. Is that until.

Your entire nation. Is drowned under this anointing. It will not stop.

Versus we never finish. We are not at the climax of it. Where did I say we are? We are at the threshold of it.

Everything that we have done so far. They will become completely small. Totally insignificant.

When you compare it with what God is going to do in the coming days. You will bear me witness. Already some of us are.

Even what we are seeing now. Already confirms that it's already a big work. That's you.

That's you. Me. What did I say it is? It is thin at the beginning.

And some of you are saying. Is Brazilians so ambitious? God knows I have no ambition for anything. But this is a responsibility.

This arrow is not our own. So we can't use it to kill our rats. This arrow is not about me.

It's not about you. It's not even about your highest dream. What God wants to do.

But you see. It is because he wants to do it in us and through us. That's why we are crying.

God. Please. Please.

Can you get me amplified Bible? To read. The amplified of Ephesians chapter 3. That we prayed about before. But I perceive we must pray it again.

Who is having amplified version to help me read? The Ephesians chapter 3. Verse 16. 17, 18, 19. And 20.

You have to take the microphone. Because as you are reading. They need to see it everywhere.

They need to follow us. May he grant you out of the rich treasures of his glory. To be strengthened and reinforced.

With mighty power in the inner man. By the Holy Spirit. Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality.

May Christ through your faith. Actually dwell. Settle down.

Abide. Make his permanent home. In your heart.

May you be rooted deep in love. And founded securely on love. That you may have the power.

And be strong to apprehend. And grasp. With all the sense.

God's devoted people. The experience of that love. What is the breadth.

And length. And height. And depth of it.

That you may really come to know. Practically true experience for yourselves. The love of Christ.

Which far surpasses mere knowledge. Without experience. That you may be filled.

Through all your being. Unto all the fullness of God. May have the richest measure.

Of the divine presence. And become a body. Wholly filled and flooded with God himself.

Amen. Now wait. Verse 20.

You are now going to read that verse 20 carefully. Because I need the brethren to understand. What we are begging God to do now.

Now to him. Who by a consequence of the action of his power. That is at work within us.

Now this is where my prayer. If this power. If it can work.

Outside of us. Are you hearing me? If this thing that God wants to do. He wants to do it outside us.

And we would be passive onlooker. And we would just be seeing the power of God. Moving everywhere.

It would not have been a problem. But you see God is saying. This power.

That God wants to operate. Where is it going to work? It would be working within us. In you.

Brother. Go at it again. Now to him.

Yes. Who by a consequence of the action of his power. That is at work within us.

That is at work within us. He is able to carry out. His purpose.

And do. Super abundantly. Far over.

Far over. And above all. That we dare ask.

God is able. Listen. To do.

Far over. And above all. That you dare ask.

There is nothing you ask. That will be too big. Or too elaborate.

And God will say. Reduce. There will be nothing.

That you could ever ask. Say God. Let me be reading.

Don't worry. I can read for you now. To him.

Who by an inconsequence of the action of his power. That is at work within us. Is able to carry out his purpose.

And is able to do super abundantly. Far over and above all that we dare ask. Or think.

Is able to do infinitely. Beyond our highest prayers. Our highest desires.

Our highest thoughts. Hopes or dreams. Whatever you have asked.

Is too small. Compared with what God. Is able to do.

Are we together? Whatever you are asking. Your highest dream. To you is high.

To God you say. Is that all you are asking? Is that what you want? And how much will that. Push this arrow of deliverance? Why are you so soon satisfied? Why are you thinking that it's alright? Why do you count two million.

When you could have twenty million. And if what God is doing now. Listen.

Is because of his enemy that he must consume. And he has to do it in me. And through me.

How can I become a narrow valve? For Josh. I tell you he punished his generation. Did you hear me? He punished his generation.

He punished them. When God gave him room to finish Syria. He stopped twice and he sat down.

And those now has mobilized. And they are taking over. And they are oppressing the people up to today.

Josh. With his narrowness. Did not allow God to do it.

We will pray. If only your eyes are open to know that this arrow. This unusual room that God has made for me and you.

Thank God for the brothers in Liberia. And I know they are there. But God told us that you are going to resettle abandoned cities.

We are going to rebuild entire nation of Liberia. And where are you thinking is incredible? Listen those of you from there. Did you know that the current president of that nation was a footballer.

And people are wondering how can this play boy. For his president today. What does that show me? That if we labor now to raise young people.

With the issues and the virtues of the kingdom. Who makes it incredible for us to place a disciple in the government house. Who says it is impossible.

That the palaces. Will be occupied. By the disciples and their wives.

Until Syria. Is finally consumed. What is making it incredible.

To know. That whole universities can be head to ransom. Because of this arrow of God's deliverance.

God. Has made a room for us. God is saying now it is your turn.

Ask me anything. I will do it. And as we listen to that message that God gave us two years behind.

And he is saying there is no limit. There is no height. That his hand will not pull down for us.

Anything that is needed. Once we have agreed not to touch his glory. And in a short while.

We already saw things happening beyond us. And I dare not begin to even tell you. What God has done.

Physical things. Supplies that God has brought in different directions. When we used to gather here.

It looked a big thing. But you see every local government. People are gathering now.

And one of the brothers says. Killing cows. Is no more a big story.

That we also are killing cows now. In our small small meetings. He said they went for a place.

And they just said. Let's test them a lot for the first time here. And they were saying.

Maybe we could just get some ice fish. And all of that. But someone said no.

We saw them killing cows in Gokul. If it is the same God. That was giving them cows in Gokul.

Why not us here? Let us go for a cow. And in their own small. Somebody just walked down.

And brought money. And said. God said you should bring this for the cow.

And they jubilated. They said. The same God that walked in Gokul.

Has come here now. That is God. I want to beg you.

This arrow. Let us quickly define it. Whose arrow is it? It is God's arrow.

What is it meant for? It is the deliverance. Of his people. For a little while.

Until. His enemy is consumed. So what it means to me.

As I want to finally announce. Is that this arrow. It will not be withdrawn.

It will not drop on the ground. Generations will carry it. We are the beginning of it now.

We pray that God will help us to live long. To guide it. To see it grow.

But we will not be the climbers of it. Did you hear what I said? The children that will rise out of this world. They will be greater than us.

Where we cannot go. They will go and bypass it. But carrying this same arrow.

Pursuing the enemy of Christ. Until they are finally consumed. All the nations of the earth.

Whatever their color and their language. This arrow will not drop. Until.

From Africa. Syria has been consumed. Until the enemy of Christ has been made his full soul.

And can I now say. Until. It says occupy.

Until. I come. How many of you believe that what heaven is beginning with us now.

Is going to be on. Onto the final trumpet. Some of you say a lazy amen.

I say. God has been speaking about this. He has been guiding us.

He has been teaching. He has been explaining. He has been breaking the barriers.

He has taught us. What evil did denominationalism have brought to his work. And he has said this arrow.

Is going to melt denominations. And all those artificial boundaries will collapse. And the body of Christ everywhere.

They will be so united. To bear the glory of God. This arrow.

Is a stream. And as it's going. It's broadening.

It's getting deeper. And we prayed in December. It will grow purer.

And that everywhere it goes. It will bring healing to the nations. And God told us.

That it is not ending here. It's not going to end with us. Thank God it started here.

From under the sanctuary. But the destination of it. Is the ocean.

The entire earth. And some say. Brother why are you saying like that.

Why are you saying like that. Is it incredible. For what God will use to overrun the earth.

To begin here. All the things that have affected the whole world. Did it not begin somewhere.

Why do you then think. That this land. Is not qualified.

To be a source of what God wants to do in the nations. Perish that thought from your heart. And join me tonight.

Say Lord. Thank you for this arrow. It will not drop.

And I will not drop out of it. I thought that's a prayer I wanted to pray. I won't drop out of it.

This thing will carry me going. A time is coming when. I will not even be able to know.

The number. Of souls. And men and women.

That are drinking from this. And since it is not about us. Not about our name.

It's not about our organization. It's about him and his glory. So why not.

Why not. So as you join me tonight to pray. It becomes clear that by the time I come back tomorrow.

The first thing we are reading. Is the peculiarities. Because I still felt that you will read it.

You will have an understanding of it. So that we can run. With this move.

And for all our brothers in different centers. Will you rise and take charge. Of this arrow of God's deliverance.

And look at all the scope that God is setting for it. Even in your nation. In your locality.

In your local government. In your state. In your profession.

And say to God. This arrow. It's not going to draw from my hand.

Until. The will of God. I've been accomplished on the face of the earth.

May the Lord bless you. May the spirit of God. Come upon you in a new way.

May the Lord enlarge your heart. May your eyes of understanding be opened. May you receive reinforcement.

In your inner man. May you have capacity. To grasp.

With all the other things. What is the length. What is the breadth.

What is the height. What is the depth. Of what God is declaring in our midst.

When I look at. Several moves that God had brought over time. And I saw how God guided them.

And for some that derived. And some that came to an abrupt end. And I said Lord did you intend it to stop? He said no.

Fire never says it is enough. But when there's nothing more for the fire to feed upon. Definitely it will stop.

It is not fire that says it's enough. It is that there are no more men. There are no more fuel for it.

And I want to pray tonight Lord. Enlarge my heart oh God. Help me to understand.

What the true body. Of the Lord is. That I may not slack anymore.

Nor withhold myself. From the reason why I was born. And born again.

Did you conquer a village? Out of many villages. Everyone is saying but where are the nine? Where are the others? As you will be joining me in prayer. Again brother Dennis will come and assist us tonight.

Again to move this prayer. Just for us to say oh God. We will not be wasters.

Of this arrow. We will not be the. The narrowing.

Valve. That will stop this and make it small. I don't want to go to the other extreme or say Lord.

And if any of us. Is going to be a cog in it. Let there be a force.

That will either push us forward. Or force such a person and let them go to heaven quickly. Rather than affect what God wants to do.

But I think. God. Is speaking good things about us.

Say it is your father's pleasure to give you the kingdom. If you will rise with me in prayer. A brother will come and lead us to do that praying.

I know God is. There is a labor in the spirit tonight. It is the labor that.

This that has come to us. This that heaven is releasing. It must not be cut short.

It must not be applied. On to killing rats and rabbits. It must not celebrate ordinary goods.

It must not start pushing peripheral things. Until Syria is consumed. Until it's enemy has been made it's foes to.

Until desert has become a fruitful field. And until the fruitful field has been made a forest. Until righteousness dwells in the forest.

Until peace. And the work of righteousness dominate the land. Until we are there.

He said blessed are those people. Whose soul. Into the waters.

Oh my brother let's pray together. Yes sir. Let's call on God together at this point.

Let's call on God together at this point. Just step forth your hand. And say Lord it won't drop in my hand.

It won't drop in my hand. It will not become small in my eyes. Every form of expansion that you have made for it.

Everything that you are saying concerning me. Inside this. Enlarge my heart for it.

Enlarge my heart for it oh God. It is not incredible that you are the one God. As located in this now.

Take away from you God. The local champion mentality. Open my eyes to see.

What heaven. Had made available. Please join us to ask God.

That that which was done in our very eyes. When Anna saw it. When Simeon saw it.

They all said this great thing. That the Lord has done for us. God has visited his people.

They spoke about it. Beyond their little Jerusalem. Please beg God tonight.

That spirit of prayer. The audience God is giving you. It will not be used.

For something small. I know several sisters are standing here. Brothers you are standing here.

And I know God is speaking something to your spirit. Something is about to blow. Some people have been asking.

Is that what you are doing? The answer to those questions are here. Thank you Father. My brother.

Touch my heart. To Lord. That I may rightly.

Perceive. Help me. To understand.

What the true burden. Of the Lord is. That I may not slack.

Anymore. Except from Holy You. Enlarge my heart.

Can you tell God. Enlarge my heart. So that the narrowness.

Of my perception. Of my vision. Of my heart.

Will not be the constricting valve. That will cut short. What you had in mind to achieve.

Enlarge my heart O Lord. Enlarge my heart. Cause me to.

Have a perception. That sees. Limitlessly to the north.

Sees to the south. Limitlessly. O God.

Perfect my sight. Perfect my sight O Lord. Help me to see as you see.

Give me the right value. For eternal things. Cause my eyes to see.

O Lord cause my eyes to see. This prayer. Help me to understand.

What your true burden is. Don't let me see. Men as trees.

Don't let me lose sight of your duty and your call. Perfect my sight. Touch the eyes of my spirit.

The eyes of my understanding. O Lord. Expand my own soul.

Give me limitless capacity. You did that to men like Solomon. You have done that to a man like Elijah.

Who could look at all that Elijah was. And ask for double portion. Others came along and wasted it.

Like the Joash. I wish the Joash was striking that arrow on the ground. Until everything scattered.

Until Elijah was sent. But the Syrians are already finished. They are already finished.

O Lord. Give me a limitless capacity. In my own heart.

Envision my heart to capture. What you have in mind. What you have in mind to accomplish.

Now each of us must ask God. Ask that you may receive. Yes.

What God is announcing to us. Was itself very elating. Was very very exciting.

But it is now that you will ask. That you will receive. Have you caught what God will have you receive? Your life to accomplish in his hand? Ask you will receive.

Ask. It shall be given to you. Seek now you will find it.

God said super abundantly. Far beyond. Above all.

Exceeding greatly. Over all that we could ask for. God is not only able.

Actually. He is ready to bring to pass. Can you tell God.

If anyone will limit you. In his own land. In his own nation.

In his own profession. In his own tribe. On his own mission field.

Not me oh God. Don't permit me oh Lord. Don't allow me.

To be the limiting factor. Of the instruments you have gathered. For this end time revival.

Lord. May my life not be the limitation. Where it please you.

To assign my own inheritance. Brethren wherever you are. Following this meeting even back home.

There is an inheritance you must capture. God brought you into this. Because you have a portion.

To fulfill in it. This matter concerns you. That's why the announcement.

The publicity of God. His advertisement is reaching you. And that's why he began to recruit you.

Even yesterday. Would you like to tell God. Look at opportunity Josh had.

Wasted. And as we just heard. Till now that we are speaking.

The Syrians have continued to be a thorn. In the flesh of God's own people. And of God's own purpose in the land.

I cannot be a Josh. Lord deliver me from a Josh heart. A heart that is too soon satisfied.

A heart that will sit down early. To begin to celebrate. When the journey is yet very very far.

Lord deliver me from the heart of Josh. Give me the heart. That is yours.

A limitless heart. An unstoppable heart. Lord I ask today.

That the portion of my own inheritance. Will not remain in the hand of the Assyrians. I ask today.

That what you will have me to overrun. Will actually be totally overrun. Lord change my heart.

Not selfish ambition. But a holy dissatisfaction. Because what God will do.

Has not yet been accomplished. A sense of holy indebtedness. Of holy responsibility.

Bring it upon my heart oh God. Lord here am I. We read in Ephesians chapter 3. For so much that God must grant. Unto our heart.

Would you like to tell God. Visit me with each and every of these elements. Until I am filled with your fullness.

Cause that beyond all comprehension. Every measure of human understanding. I will collect the understanding.

An understanding of limitless breath. Limitless length. Limitless height and depth.

Of the possibilities. Into which you are bringing me now. Help me to maximize my rewards.

Help me to maximize my rewards. Lord show me mercy. Show me mercy to the praise of your glory.

Not unto us. But unto your name oh God. Give glory.

Thank you for answering us. Thank you for answering us. In the name of Jesus.

Now listen to this next point of prayer. God kept coming repeatedly. To define the arrow.

To define this Rehoboth. To define this reviver. This move.

And the first point in the definition. Is that it is not. An arrow for a denomination.

Is not an arrow for even peace house. No. Is not a personal arrow for anyone.

First it is the arrow of God. Is going out on God's own mission. Is going out to achieve God's own purpose.

Is not an arrow in order to glorify anyone. Is an arrow to glorify God alone. On this one point.

Would you like to again go to God in prayer. If this arrow does not achieve God's purpose. Whatever else it achieves.

Is actually an abuse of the arrow. Is a total waste. In fact is a disaster.

Would you like to ask God. To deliver you from. Cornering the arrow.

To settle any. Personal ambition. To satisfy any personal need.

That is actually very pressing. He will keep your eyes focused. On where the arrow must arrive.

Would you like to tell God. That this arrow must achieve your purpose. That is the first issue of prayer.

In the definition of the arrow. In my own hand oh God. Oh Lord you can entrust me with this arrow.

I undertake. I enter into this. Agreement.

I stand oh God. To engage my life. That this arrow will not be diverted.

To anything personal. Will not be diverted. To anything small.

It must achieve your purpose. I will not relent. Until it has accomplished your purpose.

Can you speak to God concerning that. Can you declare it as. What you have agreed with God.

To your life. That God may arise to help you into it. That the Holy Spirit.

Will be armed with the responsibility. To continue to remind you. Of this same thing.

And to guide you into it. To help you along. Into it.

So that you don't miss the target. This arrow must achieve God's purpose. And what is this arrow for? Which kind of arrow is this? I want you also therefore to pray.

This arrow is an arrow of until. The key word today is until. The key word of yesterday was now.

Today God is saying until. The heart of God cannot be satisfied. Until.

This arrow must not. Lose its trajectory. And nosedive.

It cannot come down. Definitely not in my own inheritance. Definitely not where you have.

Committed responsibility into my hand. Can we enter into that covenant with God? I am engaging my life. I covenant my life onto this matter.

That this arrow will fly. And continue to conquer. To prevail.

To recover all. To bring revival in every place. Until.

Until. All of God's enemies are made his footstool. Until there is no trace.

Of rebellion anywhere. Until every knee has bowed. And every tongue has confessed.

That Jesus is Lord. Everywhere is brought under the rule. And authority of him.

Whose kingdom and power. And dominion has no end. Until.

Until he returns to rule. There is an until of the scope. Of coverage.

And there is an until of duration. Can you tell God there will be no. Growing weary.

In pursuing the mission of this arrow. In my own hand. There will be no going.

And getting tired at any point. Until Jesus returns. Until I pass the baton to others.

Who are still running on. Until the generations unborn. Will receive the baton and press on.

Until every land. Every clan. Every tribe.

Every country. Every field. Every people's group.

Until they are overwhelmed. Until they are brought under the control. Of the power and the rulership.

There is righteousness. The Lord Jesus. Until.

Can you tell God. This until. Cause it to be the vision of my own life.

So that even if. I am able to count. A whole two thirds.

Of my own territory. I am committed to being. Disciples of Jesus.

I will say I have not reached my until. I will be pressing on. Desperately that oh God my arrow.

Has not achieved his own scope. Until. Can you tell God give me a heart.

That has the until as his focus. As his perspective. As his vision.

Until. Until. Among all the peoples.

All the peoples in Benway. Nobody is any longer. Drinking brew kutu until.

Until. That we say in the entire land. In Benway state for instance.

Here there is no single prostitute. Until. That we say no one is unsaved.

In the whole of West Africa. Until. That's the meaning of until.

Until. This same move is perpetuated. It's unstoppable until it ushers in the king.

Occupying until he returns. Occupying until he appears. Until.

Until. Now I hear God saying. This until.

Must first be a personal until. Before it will be the global until. The until.

Will continue. To effect. Wherever the individuals have carried.

That largeness of vision. Of perception of understanding. And of commitment until.

This is the reason why. Each one of us wherever we are. God wants to begin with us.

I want you to know that this. Perspective of understanding. Perspective of engagement.

Perspective of our commitment. We pass from one. Generation of disciples to another.

We are very small. In the measures we are gathered. In every place.

We are only a seed. And God will yet plant us. To multiply more.

As we go to be sown. He will reproduce many many more. Who are the arrows.

Of his deliverance. Who are pursuing this river. That is ever whitening ever deepening.

And is ever the more pure. Ever bringing healings. Ever transforming everywhere.

And every life. Begin it with me. Begin it with me.

Conceive this in my life. That it might become birthed. And may reproduce.

In several other lives hereafter. Begin it with me oh lord. Begin it with me oh lord.

Oh lord begin it with me. Hallowed be thy name father. Lord this you will do.

Now. Who is saying to God. I think I'm beginning to understand.

But you need to enlarge my heart. You will need to turn. Me to another person entirely.

It's not as if I haven't heard. Anything of this sort before. But my heart was not large enough.

To run with it. Today oh God. The altar call I'm asking.

Is change the capacity of my heart. Cause oh God. That the capacity.

Of what I can receive. Will not be a narrow expectation. I want you to change.

The capacity of my prayers. To change the capacity. Of what I'm able to expect from heaven.

What I'm able to step out. And believe God for. Change my capacity.

You are saying lord change my capacity. Can you just quickly run to the altar. Because we want to pray.

If it is the request of each and everyone. To show that you are saying lord count me. Count me as one of those.

Who is saying I cannot remain like this. And I didn't hear all of this. Just to be entertained.

Just to feel good about it. I want my life to be positioned for it. To be prepared for it.

To be correctly enlarged. In capacity to contain it. To wrong with it.

Oh I'm not happy. To remain as narrow as I used to be. Change my heart.

Enlarge this heart as we have sung over and over. This time make it a reality. Make it the definition of me.

Enlarge my heart in prayer. Enlarge my heart in my outreach. In my confrontation of life.

Just for Jesus. I am too fearful. Too full of doubt.

I am too full of hesitation. I am limiting you very often. Who is saying I'm not satisfied with my capacity.

Enlarge it. Oh lord stretch my capacity. You are stepping out to tell God that.

You are taking a step. Say Lord I give you opportunity. To change my dimensions.

So that they will fit into your own dimensions. Make me so elastic. That I am limitless.

Oh you are able to do this. You've done it before. You will do it again.

He is not a respecter of persons he told us. Lord while on others you are calling. You will not pass me by.

Because you are not a respecter of persons. Lord even me also. Look upon me with mercy.

Look upon me and be gracious unto me oh God. Enlarge my capacity. I cannot afford to die in this night.

In this narrowness. My life cannot afford to only be affecting few people. Here and there.

You must change my capacity. Since what you have decided. To offer unto my life.

In my own generation. To include me into. Is limitless.

Change my limitedness. Change my limitedness. To limitlessness.

Cause oh God. That from this day. I would have received.

A heart. That is as large as the oceans. That are connected one to another.

So you are not knowing where will it finish. Lord answer our cry. For he that asketh receiveth.

No one that is asking. No matter how young. No matter how old.

Will go from here empty handed. For he that asketh receiveth. And he that seeks.

He will find. Each one of us we will find as we are seeking. What we will not find is what we did not seek.

So that we ask. We will receive. Beyond this gathering this evening.

Grant us capacity. To ask. Oh Holy Spirit give us.

The unction. And the ultras accompanying the unction. Until we have asked exhaustively.

For it is the season. For God to answer us. Super abundantly.

Above all. Beyond every. Imagination that we may have.

Help us not to waste the season. Help us not to waste the season. We prayed yesterday.

Yesterday. For the spirit of grace. And of supplication.

Now we need capacity for it. So that we are not praying for little matters. We are not asking for perishable things.

And even spiritual things. We are not narrow. Bring us capacity.

Bring capacity into the unction. Oh God. Give each one of us capacity.

And keep reproducing this capacity. In others that will be affected. By our lives.

This is our cry. That there will be no generation without capacity. Arising from this moon.

This is our cry. This is our cry oh God. The poor man cried.

And the Lord heard him. And delivered him from all of his troubles. This.

Is a day of trouble. Is a day of trouble. Because the children have come to the birth.

If we don't receive strength. To bring forth. Is the pregnancy that will kill us.

And also will be lost. Lord grant us capacity. To bring forth this baby.

Thank you for you will do this. For you don't bring to the birth. And shut the womb.

You can be wicked to bring to the birth. And shut the womb. This you will do to the praise of your glory.

Oh Lord this you will do. Thank you father. To you be glory forever and ever.

Now on this prayer. Can we give the mic to brother Emmanuel Akaimbe. To please conclude this particular prayer for us.

Before we go any further. The brother Emmanuel. Please collect the mic from.

From him and raise. A cry on our behalf. Of destiny.

Thank you and bless you. For coming to us. And showing us.

The live wire of this move. Which has to be. Ceaseless prayers.

We have come to a point where the disciples said. Lord teach us to pray. Yes Lord.

Lord that is what we are also asking for. We have been prayed before. But at this level we need you to teach us to pray.

Amen. We are asking that you will baptize each and every one of us. With the spirit of prayer.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Romans 26. We don't know how to pray.

But the Holy Spirit teaches us to do so. Lord be our teacher in this area. Holy Spirit teach us to cry unto you.

Holy Spirit teach us to speak to you about this law. In the name of Jesus Christ. Lord we are asking.

That as we are listening we will never be the reason. Why this move should stop. Deliver us from acting contrary wise.

In the name of Jesus Christ. That the well of our prayers will become deeper. And that we keep praying and praying.

And that well will not dry. In the name of Jesus Christ. Lord as we kneel down from time to time.

Cause the heavens to be opened. So that we don't just speak to empty air. But we will be speaking to you.

Father we thank you. Make prayer enjoyable. And as soon as we get to your presence.

Let prayer become easy for us. In the name of Jesus Christ. All the struggles of sleep.

Struggles of tiredness. Struggles of wandering thoughts here and there. Sponsored from hell.

Give us victory over all of this. In the name of Jesus Christ. Lord we are asking.

Lord we know. That God here has not seen us. Deliver us from seeing.

Deliver us from seeing. Because if we regard seeing our hearts. All our hours of prayers will be useless.

Lord we are asking. That you will deliver us from seeing. Deliver us from the hours of temptation.

In the name of Jesus Christ. And in the public. Help us to maintain your presence.
