MAY YOU CELEBRATE THE almighty God [music] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and on behalf of the angel over this ministry God's servant Apostle Joshua Selman I welcome you to this glorious night of encounter in God's presence. Are you celebrating the Lord tonight? YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE YOU'RE EXPECTING A VISITATION OF THE LORD. SOMEBODY GIVE THE LORD A SHOUT OF PRAISE. AMEN. You know this we're still in the year of deliverance and exemption.

And as we journeyed in this year, we have experienced the transformative power of God's word shape our lives in different forms and fashion. improve us, bless us, heal us, deliver us, transform us. But I discovered from scriptures and from my experiences this year in the course of this particular year that we have experienced God interven FOR US AND DELIVER US OUT OF TROUBLE, OUT OF CALAMITIES, OUT OF EVIL, OUT OF SITUATIONS.

WE'VE ALSO SEEN GOD bring his counsel to us. And that counsel HAS EXEMPTED US from evil, EXEMPTED US, HELPED US NAVIGATE THROUGH THE COSMOS, INTO LANDING NEW JOBS, INTO EXPERIENCING PROSPERITY, INTO EXPERIENCING GREATNESS ON ALL SIDES. ARE WE CELEBRATING the Lord tonight? [applause] Because the Bible says in Jeremiah 32:1 19 that God is great in counsel and MIGHTY IN WORKS, MIGHTY in deeds. HE'S MIGHTY IN DEEDS IN THAT BY HIS OUTSTRETCHED HAND HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM HARM, FROM EVIL, FROM SHAME, FROM REPROACH.

AND BY HIS GREAT COUNSEL HE HAS EXEMPTED US FROM EVERY ARRANGEMENT OF DARKNESS. BUT I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS MORE. Tell your neighbor there is more. >> GOD ALSO IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN NOT ONLY DELIVERING US AND ALSO BRINGING US COUNSEL. HE WANTS TO MAKE US MIGHTIER THAN OUR MOUNTAINS, BIGGER THAN OUR PROBLEMS. HE WANTS TO MAKE YOU AND PUT YOU IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE FAR [screaming] ABOVE THE STRIKING RANGE OF THE DEVIL.

AND THAT'S WHY WE WILL LEARN THE TEACHING AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE WORD OF GOD TRANSFORMS. IT TRANSFORMS. LOOK AT THE MEN OF DAVID. BY THE TIME THEY GATHERED AROUND DAVID IN 1ST SAMUEL 22:2, THE Bible says they were in depth. They were, YOU KNOW, DISCONTENT. THEY WERE DISTRESSED. BUT BY THE TIME THEY WERE THROUGH GOING THROUGH EXPERIENCES OF TRANSFORMATION UNDER THE SCHOOL OF DAVID, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DAVID, THEY HAD BECOME MIGHTY MEN, MIGHTIER THAN GIANTS, MIGHTIER THAN CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM 105:4, AND THAT'S WHY I DRAW MY PRAYER TONIGHT. PSALM 105:24, LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS. HE INCREASED HIS PEOPLE GREATLY AND MADE THEM STRONGER THAN THEIR ENEMIES. THEY WERE NO LONGER AT POWER WITH THEIR ENEMIES. THEIR ENEMIES WERE NO LONGER PUSHING THEM DOWN AND THEY ARE RECOVERING. THEY WERE NO LONGER WAITING FOR DELIVERANCE. THEY WERE STRONGER THAN THEIR ENEMIES. SOMEBODY, I WANT YOU TO CRY TO GOD TONIGHT.

MAKE ME STRONGER THAN MY ADVERSARIES. MAKE ME A MIGHTY VESSEL IN YOUR HAND. CAN YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE AND PRAY? MAKE ME STRONGER. STRONGER THAN MY ADVERSARIES. STRONGER THAN OPPOSITION. STRONGER THAN EVERY IMPEDIMENT. STRONGER THAN EVERY WALK OF DARKNESS. MAKE ME STRONGER BY YOUR WORD. THE SAME WORD THAT DELIVERS AND THAT RESCUES AND THAT BRINGS COUNSEL IS ALSO THE WORD THAT MAKES YOU A MIGHTY WOMAN, A MIGHTY MAN. [screaming] LORD, MAKE ME STRONGER.

MAKE ME MIGHTIER THAN MY MOUNTAINS. MAKE ME STRONGER THAN MY ADVERSARIES. [music] I DON'T WANT TO BE AT the mercy OF MY ADVERSARIES AGAIN. MAKE ME STRONGER. MAKE ME STRONGER. Somebody's praying. LORD, MAKE ME STRONGER BY YOUR WORD THAT IS COMING TONIGHT. Make me a mighty vessel like the mighty men of David. [music] Make me a mighty man in this great house. A mighty man of valor, a mighty woman of prayer, a mighty man [music] of influence, in wealth, in resources, IN PRAYER, IN FINANCE, IN THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE.

MAKE ME A MIGHTY VESSEL. [music] >> [music] >> BY YOUR WORD TONIGHT. MAKE ME A MIGHTY VESSEL, A MIGHTY WOMAN, A MIGHTY MAN, STRONGER THAN MY ENEMIES, GREATER THAN MY MOUNTAINS, GREATER THAN MY PROBLEMS, GREATER THAN LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. MAKE me a mighty warrior. The Lord of hosts, the Lord of hosts, [music] the King of glory. [music] Yahe. Yahe. Father, we thank you. We bless your name Lord. This is our cry tonight. We are grateful for all the deliverances and all the mighty things you are doing in our lives tonight.

In Jesus holy name, we have given thanks. Amen. Hallelujah. Once again, it is my great honor and privilege to welcome us tonight to this great service tonight where God has prepared a special meal for us that will be served uh professionally with surgical precision by our father and the lord the priest over this house.

How many of us are excited to know that the word of god is coming tonight? We have a teaching priest who will be delivering God's word tonight. And every one thing that God has ordained for us will become our portion here tonight in the mighty name of Jesus. In the book of Psalm 16:1, he said, "For thou will show me the path of life for in your presence there's fullness of joy and at your right hand pleasures forever more." Tonight, I believe somebody will be exposed to the part of the life that leads to their destiny in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

It is my honor to be receiving those who are worshiping with us for the very first time on a Sunday evening like this. If you are in this auditorium, please wherever you are, could you rise on your feet? We want to honor you. We want to celebrate you because we love you.

Is anyone excited to be in another night of encounter, another night of transformation, another night of empowerment, another night of divine [music] visitation? One more time, give the Lord a big big big shout of praise. Hallelujah. The Bible says in Genesis 4 and verse 26, we see men beginning with the culture and the spiritual enterprise of prayer.

The Bible says, "And men began to call upon the name of the Lord." And then in Acts chapter 2 and verse 42, we also see men this time around disciples and apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ continuing with that same enterprise of prayer. The Bible says, "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers." Hallelujah. So that means for the believer, the culture of prayer is not just a one of activity that we engage in is a culture for the believer.

Hallelujah. So please help, please help me preach to your neighbor and say, "I am a being of prayer." Come on, you don't sound like a preacher. Say, I'm a being of prayer and I have a culture of prayer. Please allow me invite you for the next few minutes as we be on our feet to lift up our voices in prayer. Just two scriptures very quickly. Ephesians chapter 1 from verse 17-19. It says that the God of our father or our lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

It says the eyes of your understanding been enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. And then final verse he says and what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe according to the working of his mighty power. Scripture number two 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and verse 58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be a steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.

For as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. The Bible says in Luke 2 and verse 52, speaking about Jesus, it says, "And increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." We're going to lift up our voices and pray TONIGHT AND SAY, "FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS," COME ON, ONE MORE TIME WITH FIRE IN YOUR SPIRIT. SAY, "FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I CONTEND FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF ILLUMINATION AND GRACE AND STATURE IN THE SPIRIT." ONE MORE TIME, I CONTEND FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF ILLUMINATION.

GRACE AND STATURE IN THE SPIRIT. LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND PRAY TONIGHT. I CONTEND FOR GREATER LIGHT. I CONTEND FOR GREATER GRACE. I CONTEND FOR GREATER STATURE. IS SOMEONE DESPERATE TONIGHT FOR A CHANGE OF STORY, BY LIGHT, BY REVELATION, BY STATURE? PAUL SAID, I WENT UP BY REVELATION. Lift up your [music] voice and pray. >> [music] >> Break [music] a d break a d break a dash break a d break a d break a dash break a d break a d BREAK A DASH >> [music] >> SOMEONE IS STILL PRAYING.

[music] Someone is praying. break. [music] The Bible says the entrance of thy word give light. I contend [music] for light. I contend for grace. I contend for stature. I am unmovable. I am unshakable by light, [music] by grace, by stature in Jesus mighty name [music] we have prayed. I HAVE REALIZED THAT BEING AROUND TRUTH DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATE TO TRANSFORMATION. THAT YOU ARE AROUND CHURCH AND THE ACTIVITY of the SAME WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATE to empowerment.

THE BIBLE SAYS 12 MEN CAME CLOSE ENOUGH TO JESUS CHRIST, BUT ONE MADE A CHOICE BY an act of his will TO BECOME A SON OF PITION. THAT YOU ARE CLOSE TO CHURCH THAT YOU ARE AROUND THE WORLD WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATE TO TRANSFORMATION. And therefore, we're going to lift up our voices and pray and say, "Father, in the name of Jesus, come on, I can HEAR YOU. SAY, "FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I YIELD MYSELF tonight under THE INFLUENCE OF YOUR word and the spirit TO BE A GREATER EXPRESSION OF A THOROUGHLY FURNISHED KINGDOM AMBASSADOR." GO AHEAD, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND PRAY.

It says, "Let this mind being you." It is within YOUR POWER TO ALLOW OR TO DISALLOW. GO AHEAD AND PRAY. I SUBMIT MYSELF. I YIELD MYSELF TO THIS CRUCIBLE OF TRANSFORMATION, YOUR WORD and your spirit. [music] Come on, go ahead and pray. Go ahead and pray. I submit myself. I submit myself. I submit myself. [music] Just a few more minutes while still praying. >> [music] >> We're still praying. We're still praying. I yield myself tonight.

I yield myself tonight [music] to the power of your word, to the sovereign authority of your spirit. Oh, I yield myself to this crucible [music] of transformation that empowers me as a witness, that empowers me as an ambassador of the kingdom. Go ahead and pray. [music] [music] Go ahead and begin to bless the name of the Lord. Go ahead, give him thanks. [music] Give him thanks. Give him thanks by the spirit. Give him thanks, Lord.

[music] We thank you. The Bible says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in all THINGS THROUGH PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, it says with thanksgiving, make your request known unto the Lord." If you believe THAT GOD HAS HEARD US BY AN ACT OF YOUR FAITH, LIFT UP YOUR SHOUT OF PRAISE AND welcome three persons. Welcome to your night of transformation. [music] Hallelujah. Please greet three people. Speak a blessing over them as you have your seats.

Three people. Speak a blessing. I won't go back. I can't go back to the [singing] way it used to be before your presence came and changed me. Do you believe that? I won't go back. I can't go back to the way it used to be before your presence. How many people here believe that with every time we appear in Zion, grace is added, glory is added, wisdom is added, another measure is added. If you truly believe that, can you celebrate Jesus for the impact of the word, the ministry of the word?

Hallelujah. The word is producing results in our lives. And we have a number of people who are sharing with us in this service testimonies. They have put the word to work. They have received of the mercy of God. They have received of the power of God and they're here with testimonies. As it is our culture to give this time to acknowledge the Lord's mighty hand over this ministry, I want us to welcome the following people sharing with us in person.

Let's welcome Atsok Emmanuel. Atsock Emmanuel. Secondly, we have Enimma Eko. Ensimma Eko. Number three, we have Udofia Dao. Udofia Dao. Fourthly, we have Burma Israel. Burma Israel. And finally, we have Ubo Echo. Hallelujah. Are you prepared to hear the testimonies that we have tonight? It's an incredible thing to see how there's no testimony we have heard that has happened just once. It has a way of replicating itself.

And so it I believe that you may be listening in this service to a testimony that relates to your current situation. And I truly believe that you are next in line to testify. >> Can I hear a believing amen? Hallelujah. The first testimony I'm about to read of what the Lord has done to our brothers and sisters both far and near is from Juliet. Juliet is testifying from Imo State. Juliet says, "During the August 2026 miracle service, as I was listening to other people's testimonies, I told God that it was time for me to share my own testimony.

I joined Coonia in 2019 and I have been following online. While in the service, I wrote down my prayer requests and number one on my list was healing from aquagenic puritus. I hope I pronounced that correct. Aquagenic puritus. I have had this issue for more than 10 years. After taking my bath, my whole body would itch me to the point that sometimes I would shed tears. Sometimes I even dreaded taking my bath. But during the August miracle service, I asked God for my own testimony.

And guess what? From that Sunday till today, I have not experienced it. It has been one week and I'm still in awe of this miracle, this miraculous healing. Thank you, Jesus. Can we join Juliet and celebrate God? And it will never return in Jesus' name. Can you imagine while she sat down listening to other people testifying like someone is listening in this service? I say it again that you are next in line to testify in Jesus name.

Next testimony I'm reading is from Olan. Olan is testifying from Scotland. Praise the Lord. Coonia. I thank God for the gift of coonia and the incredible impact this ministry is making in our generation. For over a year, I suffered from continuous flank pain on both sides that also triggered lower back pain every single day. I feared that it was a kidney issue, but my doctor confirmed it was a severe stomach infection.

I was treated with multiple courses of antibiotics followed by gastroesistant tablets which I was advised to stay on indefinitely. During the August miracle service, I was desperate for healing. As Apostle Joshua Selman ministered, I actively engaged with every instruction to the glory of God. Before the end of the service, the pain completely disappeared. Someone celebrate Jesus. Completely gone. It has been days now and the daily pain I lived with for over for a whole year is completely gone.

God truly showed me mercy. I thank God for my healing and I pray that he continues to bless Apostle and the entire Coonia family mightily. Can you shout a big amen? >> Hallelujah. Just one more testimony and then we receive those sharing in person. This next testimony is from Tommy Lio. Tommy Lio is also testifying from United Kingdom. I attended last Sunday's miracle service with a heavy heart and broken spirit. I sent in my prayer requests just asking for mercy and God's help.

I have been out of work since the end of March and I had used my savings and even borrowed to meet some financial obligations. I had some unpaid bills and several emails sent with threats and requests for payment. Every morning when I wake up to pray, I would just start weeping because it had become overwhelming. On Tuesday, while replaying the sermon from the miracle service, Apostle Joshua Selman mentioned blind Barameus casting off his garment when he was going to Jesus Christ.

He asked us to cast off every spirit of heaviness. Right there, I decided to repent and rebuke the spirit of heaviness. I encouraged myself, remembering the scripture that says, "With joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation." I asked myself, "How much do I owe and how much do I need at the moment?" I decided to write out the ones I could recall, and it was over 2,600. I looked at it and declared, "My father is more than able to settle this." I received a call not too long afterwards.

The person asked how I was doing and I mentioned I was okay, not wanting to be negative. She then said, "I understand you are being positive, but what is the actual situation of things?" I told her as much as I could. And she said, "Don't worry. I'll send you something that should help." Brethren, when I checked my account, I was stunned. God surprised me. She sent almost double the amount I had written out. I don't want to assume that it's Jesus you're celebrating right now.

I believe he deserves much better. [cheering] Can you celebrate God? [applause] She sent almost double the amount I had written. I have never enjoyed this type of financial favor before. I was in shock and even my husband kept saying that he hopes it was not a mistake. Today, I have cleared out 90% of my personal debts and every outstanding bill. We were also able to get things for our children to start to return to school.

I just want to appreciate and bless the name of the Lord for this great miracle. Indeed, God can be trusted. Someone shout, "God can be trusted." Also, sometime in August, Tommy Leo says, "I needed to renew our son's passport here in the United Kingdom with only a few days left to spare on our visas. God showed us favor and I was able to get his new passport the same day by the help of the Holy Spirit. I cannot go into details, but it was all orchestrated by God.

We enjoyed unusual help and kindness. God bless you, Apostle Joshua Selman. I am grateful for all your prayers and sacrifices. I will return with more testimonies of God's faithfulness. Can we join Tom to Millayo in the United Kingdom and celebrate the faithfulness of God. Come on. I think we can do so much better than that. You're welcome, sir. Straight to the point. Your name and what the Lord has done. >> Good evening, Colonia.

My name is at Emanuel. I'm from Ben state but I based in Lagos. It was last year March I was sacked from my workplace and I don't know what was my offense and I travel back to my village because I had no choice to stay in Lagos anymore. When I got to my village I can't just stay like that. I've started a business of my own I was doing and after three months of the business my business was running down. So I say to God, God this is not your will for me.

Let your will be done. And when I was scrolling my IG, I saw a program which said general assembly last year 2025. I said to myself, God, I want to attend this program, but I don't have any money on me. If it is your way, I just say that with faith and after with a program, I've attended program here in Kona. And after the pro, I've started from the first day to the end. And I submitted my prayer request as prophet instructed us to do.

I submitted my prayer request. My prayer request was that God let my job back to me and let my business store back to me. What God was a mighty God who I after the plug got me I moved straight to Lagos. I didn't go back to Ben state again. I moved straight to Lagos. And when I go straight to Lagos, my spirit was telling me to go straight to my workplace and I do as my spirit instructed me. I go to my workplace as my boss saw me.

It was like she was waiting for me and she could not find me. She asked me that Emmanuel they said you travel said yes my travel but I'm back. She asked me that. So can I work with her again? That was all my job was still back to me. And after that, after four five months, I've started a business in Legos. And I'm here to say, God, you are the mighty God. Thank you, Apostle Joshua, for giving us the young adult the privilege to ser God to believe that God is.

I always go through his message. If you check my phone, I have no other video in my phone that his video in my phone and my video. And that was all the time, night and day. I go through it. I said, "God, this is the man of God you directed me to, and I promise that I will serve you all the days of my life. Thank you, Father." Someone shout, "HALLELUJAH. Our God is able to restore." How many of you believe that? I believe restoration shall be your testimony as well.

You're welcome, ma'am. Your name and what the Lord has done. >> Hello, church. Good evening, Coonia. My name isAma and thank you for having me again. This is my second time on this all chat. Um, thank you. The first time was in July 2022 or 2024 when I came here to give a testimony um, pertaining to my um, scholarship. It was a partial falling scholarship that I got from the great scholarship. Now I am one of the ambassadors.

Thank you Jesus. And uh so before I left for before I when I attended Coonia the first time in July 2022 a miracle service my prayer was about my scholarship because I was really keen into going abroad to um do my studies as my master studies. So I got the scholarship in June 2024 and I came here to testify and my other prayer was when I get to um UK I should be able to get a job under two weeks and God did it for me.

Thank you Jesus. And uh the second job I came in in November which I was I didn't even apply for it. I was called on Indeed um jobs in the UK to um work for that company and I have worked with that company for over a year while I was still doing my studies. So um um during November 20 last year um I kept on telling God I wanted to work with NHS. I wanted to change my role because that is not what I studied. What I was doing was not what I studied.

So I told God I just wanted to change my u my field my role my job role. So I kept on applying to NHS. I was being called for interview several times and normally it's usual thing I would just go and it would not proceed. So um in January this year something happened at my previous place of work and someone reported me I don't want to mention like apostas used to say because of some certain reason so I don't want to mention what happened.

So I was reported by a very close friend of mine and I didn't join previously I didn't join um a union that I'm supposed to join which for come for you when you have an issue at job at your place of work. So I was attending the the um disciplinary committee the meetings all by myself and during this time was the um allelujah challenge with with um pastor Nataniel Bassi. So I had already gone for the interview with NHS and so a day the night to the morning that Apostle attended um um Allelujah challenge the next day I received a dismissal letter and a new job appointment with the NHS at the same time I mean oh god I mean I don't know how to say this they came simultaneously this one came the dismissal came and the appointment came with the NHS and when I got to ditches.

I was so scared because I was like, "Oh my god." Because they had referred me to DBS and you know in the UK if you if you're being referred to the DBS you can't work in the healthcare sector at all. So uh I was reported I was referred to the DBS and DBS had already um reached out to me about the referral. They were telling me to hold on that something might come up or something might not come up. So I was scared. So when I got to NHS I told my my manager I told the M all of them are all British.

So the man the metron called me aside and said you're going to work with NHS. You cannot leave NHS. If DBS sends a letter to you, the human resource will reply NHS, I mean DBS and tell them you're already working with the NHS. We want you in the emergency assessment unit because you're good at what you do. So right now I told God that whenever I come to Nigeria and I actually came for my sister's wedding, so I told God when I come to the to Nigeria, I am going to come here to testify and I'm going to kneel to God and I say glory be to Jesus.

Thank you Jesus. And I just want to say thank you apostle. Thank you so much apostle. I hope that you come back to the UK and I hope to attend Coonia and be one of the workers in Jesus name. Thank you very much. >> Let's celebrate Jesus. This is the faithfulness of God. He makes a way. He always makes a way where there seems to be no way. You're welcome sir. Your name and what the Lord has done. >> Good evening Corona.

My name is Daveia. Um, our story started in 2020. I and my wife moved to Dubai. Uh, and we started living there up until 2023. Then the visa issues with Nigerians started and I couldn't get a visa. But lucky enough for us, we had started watching Corona within that period and my wife got a job with Hilton and she was given a visa just before the ban started. So I had to leave UAE and come back to Nigeria in 2023. 2024 my wife came down here for the July miracle service.

We came to see Apostle. He prayed with us and gave us an advice. Um after that um went on she went back to Dubai that same month and she met a Nigerian couple in the hotel. Uh because of the advice apostle gave us and the teachings he's um given us in Corona. We were able to strike a relationship with them and build some trust. So she dropped my CV with the man. We didn't think much of it. We were just thinking that okay he could give us a job in the UAE and I'll come back.

Uh ban got lifted restrictions in the Nigeria were dropped but the price became higher. So we're thinking of how we would save money for me to come back. Uh fast forward 2026 April he called me that he's in Lagos. I went to see him in Leki and then he told me that he's been given the CEO position for an investment bank from the UAE that is being based in Nigeria and I'm starting with them once it starts in August. So August came, I was flown down to um Abuja.

I started a job already. But there are two important things that he did. The first was he fought for my salary to be more than 15 times what I was earning in Lagos. And [applause] and the second one was he went to their office and spoke with the prince that owns the bank and said they must apply for a resident visa for myself before the year runs out so I can have my visa to go and come from UAE as I please. I just want to give thanks to God and thank Apostle for everything that he has done because it's a wonderful experience. >> Coonia, can we celebrate Jesus?

This is the favor of God. This is the mercy of God at work. I truly believe he deserves all the glory. Can we celebrate him? Celebrate Jesus. Hallelujah. You're welcome. Your name and what the Lord has done. Faith and Israel, Beu, Mr. and Mrs. We stand on this exalted altar to give glory to God. We are not worthy to stand on this altar but for the grace and the mercy of God on our lives. In um sometimes 2021 we were going through a very turbulent moment in our marriage and um it seemed like I was giving up.

I had given up but coincidentally I stumbled on Aposto's message a message on mercy and that message transformed my life and my mind and we prior to that time I didn't know she had been listening to apostles messages nobody told me about apostle I had never listened to any of his message but for that singular encounter via YouTube. I stumbled on the message and my life had been transformed since that time. We returned.

Then come 2024, God blessed us with a property here in Abuja. And um we're trusting God to commence the project, but we agreed together that we're going to wait until the coonial project commenced. Then we will dedicate ourselves to go and be workers on the site to tap into the grace and the anointing. Then on the 3rd of August last year, Apostle announced the project commencement seed and I didn't want to just give anything.

So I told myself no, I want to pray about it. I want to give something deliberately and something that I will feel the impact. And it so happened a week later on the 10th of August, I I sold a seed. I was in Lagos. I saw the seed connected online and less than two weeks. Heaven knows I got more than times 10 maybe times 15 what I sowed as a seed and the speed the favor the transformation and all of it has been tremendous.

We are here with our children, three of them, to give glory to God because God has really transformed our lives. My wife's health had always been a challenge. But I remember sometimes that 2024 she came here. I sent her on an errand. I said, "Come to Abuja, attend service. Be sure that you get to see Apostle and hold something as a seed. Make sure you make contact with Apostle with that seed and let it be a memorial concerning your health to the glory of God from that time up until now.

God has been mighty. We return to give God all the glory. Hallelujah. [applause and cheering] Coonia, can we celebrate Jesus? No, no, no. You have to celebrate Jesus. Let it meet up to what you have heard. My God, we've heard two testimonies of multiplied increase 15 times. 15 times. I don't know. 15 times. [cheering] Hallelujah. You're welcome. Your name and what the Lord has done. >> Good evening, Corona. My name is Uber Au who just taught a Mrs.

Ubar a week ago. So um thank you Lord Jesus. So I've come to judge God faithful. Um I have two very interesting testimonies. The first one started it was in 2023 during my KSOM and then I had the opportunity to meet with apostle um in my room. I had this leading to to buy a footwear for a man of God and I was like who else will I buy for? And I also said because apostle have this global visibility I have to I will give him this footwear so that he can bless me with that same global visibility grace.

So I didn't know his shoe size. So I just had to the little money I had I put it in an in an envelope and I I wrote at the back of the envelope for Apostle's footwear. And I met him and I said, "Um, Apostle, this is this and I want you to buy a footwear. I don't know, but I just want you to bless me that anytime you travel with the shoe, even if it's not mine, that I will also have same grace." And then he he got it and he prayed for me.

And then from between now and between 2023 and this year I've visited over eight countries to the glory of God. And um and then when I in my field I am an environmentalist who specializes in climate change. And then I noticed during that time when apostle prayed for me people say calling me you be international. You be international. Firstly I wanted to get angry but something now told me hey now is it not you that wants global visibility so answer them so I tell them yeah you be international and then this year um I met my my husband who is an ivorian I met him my one case came like Adam and Eve he saw me this year March and he said he wants to he proposed he wants to marry me I'm like okay and then he and then And then when he proposed to me and I noticed my legs, this is the second testimony now.

My legs stay swelling. The two the two feet start swelling. And I had to uh get um what's that thing called again? Um an oversized shoe. I still wearing size 45 Crocs. Not even um sneakers, Crocs with suits to work. People will will know like ah why is this guy wearing Crocs? Even when I go for meetings like in Germany as in um as a June I was in Germany people were like why is she wearing cross they not know that I was suffering with pains and then my fianc as my fiances are then we now went to k hospital they check they carry out everything every medical test on me they found nothing so the doctors had to conclude that it's edma they now gave me drugs so that they the fluid can drain out but instead I was passing through more pains battling with the side effect of the drugs and then uh when I came for um May because this started being so for 4 months I've been battling swollen foot like very big feet like foot so um when I came for a miracle service I think one of the months after the prayers I saw someone wear white on white outside the person stopped me and said to me we are coming to celebrate you soon this is someone I don't know and then I remembered what apostle used to say that you sit close to someone in Coonia, you don't know that maybe it's an angel.

I was like coming to celebrate me soon. So in July um um miracle service, I was not really bent on telling God, God, please, my wedding is already fixed. My traditional marriage is already fixed on the 29th of August. Father, I want to wear my dancing shoes. So I prayed and I was trusting God. The feet were still there. So August, I was now like, "Okay, this is August. uh sound of revival is coming. Um sound of revival Canada.

So I a night before the sound of revival I prayed like never before in my room. I kept on praying praying praying and during the same time that apostle prayed for someone and someone came out with a testimony that her legs have been like this for a long time. A creative miracle happened at Canada and I was like okay if this miracle can happen then it can happen to me too. Do you know that between that time a week the 29th week my legs went down and on the 29th of August by traditional marriage I traveled to aqua bomb and I wore MY DANCING SHOES.

NOBODY COULD TELL that I've been BATTLING THIS FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS. I just want to come I came here to say thank you Lord Jesus and I also want to thank thank Apostle for his words for every encouragement for the prayers. God bless you sir. Thank you Lord Jesus. >> Coonia, can we celebrate Jesus? Can we c Oh, can we respond to the goodness of God? I like the fact that she said she had to accept being called international.

I believe there's someone that needs to add international to whatever you've been called before. Add international. Add global, add favored, add increase, add greatness, wisdom. You surround me with many victories. Jehovah [singing] Ni, you're my banner. You go before me, you fight my battles. Jehovah knees. Coonia. One more time in response to the faithfulness to the mercy to the love to the power of our God. Can we celebrate Jesus with a shout?

Is that the best you can do for Jesus the doer of all? Can you make it louder louder for Jesus? Hallelujah. Were you blessed by those on some testimonies? Let me just give you few minutes to bow your head. Just tell him thank you. Let him hear your voice. Give him praise. Give him glory. Exalt him. This testimony is for us. But we are we are not ashamed to return the glory to him. I encourage you not to meditate. Just let him hear your voice.

Whisper to his ear. Thank you Jesus. Let him know how much you love him and let him know you are aware that he loves you. Father we bless you. Take few minutes and let him know that you are here. Tell him to visit you. The Bible say when the Lord turn again the captivity of Zion, tell him to send his word for he sent forth his word. The Bible speaking in Ecclesiastes 4:14. He say he came out of prison to become a king even though he [music] was born poor.

Joseph was in the prison until his word came. The king sent for him and lose him. The Bible say he teach senators [music] wisdom. Where did he learn it? Just encounter with the word. Father we thank you. In Jesus mighty name we have given thanks. Can you celebrate God one more time? Psalm 126 verse4. I like you to package your offering. It's offering time. Those following us online, I like you to package your offering, your prophetic seed, your kingdom investment, your vow, and every other giving you brought to honor the Lord.

I don't need to k you had a testimony of our brother. Psalm 126:E4, turn again our captivity, oh Lord, as the streams in the south. They were praying. They were talking to God. This captivity turn it. Take it away from us. It's possible these people were on the mountain declaring days of fasting. Look at what happened. F five. Five. He said they that sowed in tears shall reap what? In joy. Six. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious what?

Seed, the Bible says, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing. But bearing what? Precious seed. I want to use this scripture to encourage somebody and to challenge us in righteousness. Give sacrificially. Give because you love God. Some of us have stayed on the realm of one realm of giving for a long time. Let God sees that you love him by expressing it through your giving. Are we together? Those who are paying their tithe inside and basement, please can you rise up on your feet?

Rise up on your feet. Take advantage of the ministry account detail is where display on the screen. If you are writing a check please all checks should be addressed in favor of the ministry you are here now you are not with cash just signify some of officials will get a PS across to you so you can pay your tithe there are kingdom channels of giving one of is your tithe what is your tithe your 10% number two is your worship offering your worship offering is your demonstration of your love for God he asked them he said can a man rob God they reply him in what way he say you have robbed me in tithe and offering meaning it's possible to be faithful in paying your tithe because it's 10% [music] and rob God in your offering by giving below God's blessings upon your life so it takes a lot of wisdom to discern let me just give you few minutes to speak over your tithe speak over your offering speak over your seed the Bible said every man shall give as he has proposed in his heart not grudging of necessity don't let anyone cure manipulate with you.

Give because you love God. Give because you [music] want his kingdom to advance. Give willingly. Give cheerfully. For God loves a cheerful [music] giver. Give sacrificially. Give consistently. Paul speaking. He say again and again on account of your consistency, my God shall supply. Are you praying over your seed? Speak over your [music] seed. Speak over your offering. Let God know that you have come to honor him. And I don't want you to tie your expectation specifically [music] on one thing because the Bible say for God is able to give your seed another body.

In case you are here you are say what should I pray for? [music] Ask God for wisdom. The Bible say for wisdom is the principal thing. Ask him for divine direction. Ask him for divine inspiration. Ask him for joy of the Holy Ghost. Ask him for strength. Ask him for the ministry of destiny helpers. Ask him from help from Zion. [music] Tell him to open up his word to you. The spirit of understanding. These are the things that comes as a benefit when you give consistently.

Father, we thank you. I'm praying for someone that whatever you have spoken to his ear, may the Lord answer you in the name [music] of Jesus Christ. Please cast your seed with joy and gladness of heart. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Tonight we sing and acknowledge the Lord as our father, as our source sustainer, as our covering. Oh. >> [music] >> Where are you? [music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> I've heard a thousand stories of what [music] they think you're like, but I've heard [music and singing] the tender whisper of love in the dead of night.

Oh, [music] I surround Hallelujah. [music] Glory to Jesus. If you believe that, [music] turn it into a prayer.

Turn that song into a prayer. Thank you, Lord, for your presence. Says, "A thousand shall fall by your side, 10,000 by your right side, but none shall harm you. With your eyes shall you watch and behold the reward of the wicked. Go ahead and thank him for his everpresent [music] in our midst. He's ever present even in the fire. Thank him. Thank you that you are with me. That's the secret of my confidence that you are with me.

Father, we bless you. Thank you for your abiding presence. Moses said, "If your presence goeth not with us, do not send us from here." We thank you for the blessing of your presence. Now, lift your voice and ask him for an encounter tonight. Ask him for an encounter tonight. Everyone that askketh receiveth. Would you lift your voice and ask him? He's the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, but he is father. is father, meaning he's a giver.

He loves you enough to attend to your needs. Lift your voice and ask in prayer. [music] Your presence is my one desire. >> [music] >> Your presence is my one desire. Your presence is [music] my one desire. Your presence [music] is my one desire. Your presence is [music] my one desire. Your presence is my one desire. Father, we are gathered tonight and it's unto you. We ask that you will speak to us by your wisdom. Let your word come with power.

Let it come with precision. Let it come with clarity. Let it lift us. Let it bring enlightenment. Let it bring understanding. [music] Let it empower us for the next level. In the name of Jesus Christ, we receive the hearing of faith. And we pray that as we receive your word, we receive all the blessings that come with your word. Healing that comes with it. We receive deliverance that comes with it. We receive transformation that comes with it.

We receive empowerment that comes with it. We receive in Jesus mighty name we pray. God bless you. You may be gloriously seated. Welcome to church. Welcome to church. The Lord bless you. It's good to be back home. And the Bible says, "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord." Hallelujah. I just want us whilst we're seated to lift our hands and lift our voices and thank God for Coonia. Thank God for the impact across the globe from nation to nation.

Would you lend your voice and let's together that includes our family following online. Can we be grateful enough to tell him thank you? Thank you. As we prepare to receive, let's be grateful for the transforming power of his word for all that we have become and are becoming by his word. It's amazing what he's done. Amazing what he's done to us here, to the body of Christ through us, to nations through us. We give him praise.

We are grateful enough, oh God. We are thoughtful enough. were [music] intentional enough to give you praise before the nations. We declare that you are deserving of our praise. You are deserving of all glory. Thank you. Let it please you, oh God, to take us further, take us higher, take us greater as far as our kingdom adventure is concerned. In the name of Jesus, grant us the humility, the meekness of heart to keep rising, to keep learning.

We yield ourselves as a global vision. Lord, we [music] decree and declare that we remain worthy vessels for your use. Use us as you please. Bless the nations. Reveal your life, your wisdom, and your power through us to the nations. And we vow as always that you remain glorified and revealed in this place. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. I remind you again to always be intentional about giving God glory. It's a very childlike secret, but produces tremendous power in the spirit.

Men can forget to acknowledge God. And once you begin to get into that culture of forgetting the good hand of God upon your life, you bring upon yourself a curse even in the midst of increase. I do these things openly before us because number one it is who we are and it is how we respond to him but number two so that you will learn. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. So we thank God for his grace. It was a great time in Kenya.

Were in Kenya last week and it was a phenomenal time. Let me thank my dear friend and brother Reverend Julian Culer and the government, the body of Christ and the good citizens of Kenya who were received so graciously and it was a time that brought great glory to the name of the Lord and um for this we are grateful. Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. I thought about my life, you know, while just going through my notes for tonight.

And sometimes when, you know, I just I'm all by myself, I just take a very thoughtful reflection of the goodness of God in my life to me as a person, not just as a man of God, not as a leader, as a person, as a child of God. And sometimes I get overwhelmed by the consciousness of his goodness, his kindness, his mercy that he's so lavishly invested in my life. And um among the many things I thank God for, I'm telling you is number one, access to illumination and understanding.

It's a real miracle to have light. Number two, the privilege. I call it an honor of inesteemable value to be given access to the spirits, the minds, the loyalty and the attention of a generation to help deposit these truths into their spirit. Every time I prepare for service, it's as though that's my first time ministering the word. I don't take it lightly. It is an honor of inestimable value to have the rare privilege of access to the spirits of men, to the minds of men, to the destinies of men.

And I thought about it, you know, this afternoon and I said, can you imagine in a few hours literally nations will be seated quietly for hours listening to one man. What if I am lying to them? What if what I'm saying is a lie and a president is listening, a king is listening, a CEO is listening, or what if the information is just guessing with no power and no life? Influence is a very delicate gift from God. And when God gives you access to the spirits and the minds and the destinies of men, you must take it seriously.

Praise the name of the Lord. You literally can make victims out of men because they were loyal to God and to you. But you can also make champions out of ordinary people because they were loyal to God and they were loyal to the truths that you have communicated. Let me give you an audacious statement right now. You will never remain at the same level. Not listen not when Jesus Christ is the head and the captain of this vision and not under the influence of the truths that you are hearing.

What I'm telling you is beyond education. I I've taught you that every time we serve the wisdom and the grace of God, there are two layers to the impact. There is a dimension of truth that comes through the gate of intellect. It comes to feed your mind. It comes to feed your understanding. It gives you a superior orientation about the kingdom. But there is a dimension that is beyond the gate of intellect. This one is deep calling onto deep.

This one is spirit communication. That one bypasses the gate of intellect. So you just know that there was a heavy deposit upon your spirit that you cannot give language to yet. But you cannot deny that something from heaven rested on you. And sometimes it will take days for that which has been received in your spirit to distill into your mind. But that you have received it. That's it. And you begin to grow into dimensions that will surprise you.

This is what will happen to you tonight. >> Amen. >> You believe that? Say amen. >> It is the reason why I'm excited. Listen, it is the message that makes the man of God powerful. You see uh the what what really gives you the credence to receive honor, what gives you the credence to be respected and to be heard is the power of the message you are communicating. Not just who you are. Who you are is important. Your alignment and your sacrifice is important and commendable.

But greater than all this is the message that you are bringing because that's what has the power to change. He sends his word. He builds by his word. He equips by his word. May the Lord bless us through his word tonight in Jesus name. >> Tonight's message is a bridge is a bridge that sustains the power to take you from where you are to the next level of kingdom exploits. Tonight's message is not only a pathway but it is a bridge.

For those of you who know what a bridge is, a bridge connects two points usually where there is a valley or water or there is no usual source to connect them so you can pass. And so bridges are built so that they connect one point to the other and they allow for a safe passage through an area that were hitherto impossible. Praise the name of the Lord. Your own assignment tonight is to believe in Jesus. number two to lend me your undivided attention and then allow me walk in partnership with the word of God and the Holy Spirit to do a business of radical transformation in your life tonight.

You believe that? Say amen. >> Amen. >> Hallelujah. At the end of this teaching, you will rush home rejoicing. You will literally see it like a shell. the former version of you, you will see it right there and you will wave it goodbye forever in the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. The title of my message tonight is capacity. I want to show you the mystery of stature and dominion. Capacity. How men are able to command greater levels of kingdom exploits by getting into superior levels of alignment in the spirit.

Someone shout capacity. >> Capacity. >> No, that's not everybody. Shout capacity. >> Capacity. >> Hallelujah. >> Hebrews chapter 5. We'll consider a few scriptures just to set the pace and then we'll be on our journey tonight. Hebrews 5. I'll begin my reading from verse 12. We'll read 12 and then we'll stop at 14. Hebrews 5. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, it says, "Ye have need that one teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God and have become as such that have need of milk and not of strong meat." Verse 13, it says, "For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe, an infant, a child." It says, "But strong meat belongs not to everyone, but to those who are full of age, even those who by reason of use have their spiritual senses exercised to discern between good and evil." Scripture number two is found in Jeremiah 12 and we'll read verse 5.

Just one verse. Jeremiah 12 and verse 5. We read a couple of scriptures. Hallelujah. Um, can we do can we do amplified? I'd like us to do amplified and I'd like us to read that scripture in concert. Amplified is quite elaborate. Or do we go back to King James? Is it too long? >> Can you read it? >> All right. One, two, go. But the Lord rebuked Jeremiah's impatience, saying, >> "If you have raised with men on foot, >> Uh-huh.

How can you? >> That's a question he's asking that if you are just running on foot and you are already tired, then how can you compete with horses? It says, "And if you take to fight in a land, let's read on, where there is peace and you feel secure, then what will you do?" All right, let's do NIV. I know some of you didn't get anything at all. You just obeyed peacefully. So let's do NIV so you get understanding. Ready? 1 to go.

If you have raised with men on 24 and verse 10, a very popular scripture. I give you a lot of scriptures like this because it's important to give you a scriptural foundation. It says if you falter well back to KJV, our people were kings. We just get new and get amplified sometimes, but we're really kings. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. One more time. If thou faint in the day, >> Uh-huh. >> Two more scriptures. 2 Kings chapter 4.

Uh let's jump to verse 5 and 6 for sake of time. You know the story. The woman, the wife of the sons of the prophet. So Elisha gives her an instruction and then she goes to get vessels. The Bible says, "So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons who brought the vessels unto her and she poured out." Verse six, read with me one to go. "And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, bring me yet a vessel." And he said unto her, "There is not a vessel more." And the oil stayed.

The oil in your life will not stop. Amen. >> It will keep flowing consistently and continuously >> in Jesus name. Can I give you one more scripture? >> Matthew 25. Let's read verse 15. Matthew 25 and verse 16. 15. And unto one he gave five talent, and to another two, and to another >> to every man according to his >> according to his >> praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. The Lord bless us in Jesus name. >> Amen.

So the first thing for a foundation tonight as we explore this very important subject of capacity and stature is that all believers all believers in Christ are ordained to live a life of grace, a life of victory and maximum kingdom impact. In fact, as I said, capacity and stature, they mean the same thing. But I just liked it looked like I would just add that even to the topic. Capacity and stature. I think that that's very good.

So add that. It just rang in my spirit that we said it correctly. Capacity and stature. Praise the name of the Lord. Capacity and stature. So all believers in Christ are ordained to live a life of grace, a life of victory and maximum kingdom impact. Do you believe that? >> Say in the name of Jesus. I believe >> I believe >> that I am ordained >> for a life of grace, >> a life of victory >> and a life of kingdom impact.

One more time remember you are speaking for your destiny. Say in the name of Jesus name >> I believe >> that I am ordained >> I >> to live >> a life >> of grace >> of victory >> and of maximum kingdom impact of maximum impact. Yes, you must believe that. It matters that you believe that. As simple a statement as it is, it can affect your efficiency if you do not believe that. It matters what you believe in the kingdom.

I believe, I'm absolutely convinced based on scripture that it is my ordination in Christ. According to Ephesians chapter 2 and 10, the Bible calls me his workmanship. It says, "We are created in Christ Jesus unto good works." That's it right there. which God had before ordained that we should walk in them. So this is no guest statement. It is consistent with the Bible that it is part of my ordination in Christ. If you are outside of Christ, then I don't have anything much to tell you on this.

But if you are in Christ, no matter how defeated currently, no matter how bad your life is, no matter how things, no how confused you are, settle this for a fact that based on the authority of God's word, you and I have been ordained to live a life of grace, of victory, and maximum kingdom impact. Hallelujah. The Bible tells us that we have been called with a high calling in Christ. a high calling in Christ, not a low calling, a high calling.

It attempts to describe the nobility and the honor that is associated with such a call. Hallelujah. Our calling is a high calling in Christ. A noble calling in Christ. A call to victory, a call to grace, a call to exploit, a call to dominion. Hallelujah. The second thing I want to establish and this is not new to us in this house is that in spite of the fact that God has this lofty vision for us life of triumph victory grace and all of that as we confessed earlier on there are many forces that need to be understood and engaged if you're writing please write that down there are many forces this is the second thing I want you to know that there are many forces that need to be understood and engaged in order to come into and manifest the reality of our prophetic destinies in Christ.

It's a long read, but I'll take it slowly cuz I want you to write it down. That in spite of all of these great promises that are for us in Christ and based on our ordination, there are many forces that need to be understood. There are many forces that need to be engaged in order to come into and then to manifest the reality of our prophetic destinies in Christ. In other words, just knowing that this is what God has pre-ordained for you is not enough to bring you into the reality or the experience of it.

Hallelujah. The Bible says there remained a rest for the people of God. God has already made that rest available in Christ. However, the Bible says there still remains that rest. There remained a rest for the people of God. There remained dimensions for the people of God. There remained heights, levels of grace and dominion and victory for the people of God. in spite of the fact that it's a prophetic reality as far as you know God is concerned but it takes understanding the forces that God has put in place and engaging them appropriately to come into and to manifest the reality of our prophetic destiny in Christ. forces like salvation.

Salvation is a spiritual force that is able to propel a translation from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear son, affording you access to the life of God. And then you begin your journey in the kingdom from there. Forces like favor, you'll not be able to maximize destiny except and unless you tap into forces as so. Forces like the anointing, you need empowerment. These there are so many of them. I'm just listing a few for you.

So I'm saying that in spite of the fact that we are ordained in Christ to live a life of victory, of purpose, of grace, of dominion, there are forces that need to be understood and then to be engaged in order to come into the experience of our prophetic destiny in Christ. Now, one of the greatest of these forces that can determine how far we can be used of God and used by God and the extent of our impact in the kingdom is capacity.

Capacity is a force and a great subject for consideration. If you desire to be used by God and you desire to do so much for the kingdom, one of the greatest of these forces that can determine how far we go as far as being used of God and the extent of our impact and our exploits in the kingdom is capacity. Capacity is a major determinant as to how far a man can go in his being used by God. how far a man can go as touching the extent of kingdom impact and kingdom exploit.

Shout capacity. >> Capacity. >> Shout it like you're following. Say capacity. >> Hallelujah. I wrote something here and I want you to listen. I said this has through the years been an underestimated factor in preparing believers for dominion and impact. Meaning that even in mentoring believers, sometimes as men and women of God, we make the mistake of downplaying the place and the role of capacity in helping believers to prepare for a life of dominion and victory.

We talk about other forces, for an example, the anointing. We talk about forces like favor. We talk about forces like, you know, relationships and all of that. And we fail to stress the the role of capacity as far as helping believers to have the level of stature that can host the program of God and can help them to be used by God at greater levels. We're having a conversation a few I think it was a few months I was having a conversation with a dear friend and um you know we're just discussing the program of God and serving the purposes of God.

That was the theme of our discussion and he asked me a question. He said apostle I want to ask you a question and I was listening to him. He said, "Why is it that certain people seem not to be able to serve the program of God at certain levels? Say a national level, say a regional level, say a transcontinental or a global level." Not they are Christians, but it looks like there is a limit as to how high they can go. He said, "Is it the election of grace?" Some have said God just chose it and those who serve at a higher level is just, you know, the election of grace.

And he said, "What is your take on it?" I said, "Well, uh, it is all of that combined in one." There is the place of the election of grace. There is such a thing as the election of grace whereby privilege and mercy people are granted. It's in their destiny and their pre-ordination to serve the program of God at certain levels with a greater spread and greater influence. There is such a thing as the predetermined council of God.

However, regardless whether it's in your prophetic destiny, you know, uniquely or generically as you know the the believer's lot in Christ, it will demand a buildup. And I told him, I said, the honest admission is that everybody is ordained by God to serve the program of God at the highest level that he or she can get to. And the highest level is not generically defined. It is maximizing the grace of God available to you.

You see that? But I told him I said for most people the reason why they cannot be trusted with the grace and authority to serve the purposes of the kingdom at say for an example a national level at a transcontinental level. It's not necessarily because God does not desire for them. is that the level of stature it takes to host the grace, the wisdom, the power of God and then an understanding of the variables that need to be engaged at that level of influence.

Many believers are not interested. They are not even aware. And for those who are aware, they are unwilling to pay the price to get to that height. That is the reason why you find maybe a handful of people as you rise higher in the spirit, you find out that there are less and less people who really have stature, the kind of stature that can end them the trust of God to host his program at a higher dimension. But you can be clear on this that God will not limit you from serving his purposes at the highest level you know that you can attend onto.

But it depends on many factors and chiefest of them based on our discussion tonight is capacity. Who is following so far? Capacity. So when you find out with all due respect that say for an example one man of God is privileged to serve the program of God at a very higher and notable and more impactful level versus another one in addition to other factors like the election of grace which accounts for only about maybe 10% of that variation.

The election of grace accounts for only 10% thereabout not more than of that variation. So about 80 to 90% of that difference is a capacity issue. Because I have taught you that there are three levels of authority that God can trust a man with in the kingdom. The least level of authority is authority over things like money, like all of that. Authority over things. When God gives you authority over things to us, we are happy that you can command resources, you can command things, elemental forces, you know, I speak to the wind.

That is the most elementary dimension of spiritual authority. The next level of authority should you be faithful and consistent. You see, the next dimension of authority is grace to influence men. The grace that God gives you to be an influence over the lives of men. That means you are able to mentor people. You are able to speak the purposes of God to a generation and God will cause them to listen to you. But the highest level of authority in my study of scripture that a man can have an operating is the authority to steward God's program upon the earth or within the span of a dispensation.

That means God can come up with a program as a subset of his grand prophetic program and say, "I want to change Ghana. I want to change West Africa. I want to change East Africa for the next 10 years. And God gives you that ranking and that promotion. You become the face that spearheads that program is the highest level of authority. This one is beyond influencing men. Your stature in the spirit has earned you a place where nobody functioning within that dispensation who desires to serve that program of God will do that ignoring what you represent.

So you become God's reference with respect to that program. There are men like that on earth. Not many, but there are men. They have grown the ranks through faithfulness. And every time God wants to help you fulfill your own destiny, as far as kingdom exploit is concerned, he will find a way to make sure that in addition to your walk with God, you get in touch with those graces. They have earned command in the spirit.

This is the reason why we respect men not just because of their vocal prowess. I'll give you an example of such men and with all due respect our father in the lord that the gio you see these men have gone beyond just preaching well they've gone beyond just influence over people there is a grace that god has given them to steward his program this is the kind of thing that will make come to a man and say this is what I want to do it's impossible for the spirit of god to move without a terri within a territory without god informing you and giving given you the blueprint.

At that point, you have become the friend of God. This one is not just a man of God. Shall I hide anything from Abraham? What did he tell Abraham? I have a program. The program is that I want the whole earth to be blessed and you become the face of it. >> So the Bible says, "Look onto Abraham, your father." Even though he's dead, he epitomizes that program of global impact. Look unto Abraham. The three major religions in the world came out from that same man.

Hallelujah. Look unto Abraham your father and to Sarah that body. I called him alone. I blessed him and I increased him. Who understands me so far? Praise God. So it has been downplayed truly. We talk a lot about serving the program of God and many people just stop at recognizing their prophetic destiny. So there are many chants and many singings and many jumpings and confessions rightfully so in church. Oh I will shake the world.

Have you heard people say that kind of thing? I will shake the world. Holy Spirit you and I you know I would shake the world. I would change the world and and it is so prophetically but even those saying it no it will not happen because it's not a matter of just blind confession. This is a stature ranking trust. Hallelujah. Sometimes we make very lofty statements in church and I understand that we mean to be sincere.

Oh, I will shake China. Lord, give me China. Give me Africa. Give me Nigeria. Give me Abuja. I hope you know that territories are given to certain people as an inheritance. Read your Bible. When the people qualified by using the talents, they were given a kingdom. That was what was allocated to them. So God can give a man Abuja. Is it not in your Bible? Ask for the nations and I will give you as an inheritance. But this does not just happen because you are a Christian.

It happens because you have built you have taken advantage of the grace of God and you have increased. Else why does a Christian who is already look up please look up please. If you do not understand what I'm teaching you tonight, you will not live a very purposeful Christian life. You will live a victorious Christian life but not a purposeful one. Victorious meaning your needs will be met. Victorious meaning you will know how to use the word of God to get your needs.

You know how to speak the word of God to bring personal profit but you will not profit the kingdom because the scope of your understanding of Christianity will be achieving personal victory. So you build a house by the word. You buy a car by the word. You train your children to school by the word. And that's wonderful. But from a macro at a macro level, you are not useful to the kingdom because you cannot ease off that burden that is in the heart of God by responding to his desire at a national or a transcontinental level.

Who is understanding me now? This is very powerful. So there are many believers with all due respect who their scope of Christianity is knowing God, understanding the word and using it to achieve personal victory. And once they achieve personal victory, a car, some houses, investments, estates, a personally robust uh spiritual life, they just feel God, I'm grateful. This is where it is. But no, no, no, no. Victory is one level.

Are we together? But when you now begin to talk of dominion, this one is not you. Again, dominion and purpose is a language of ambassadors. It's not just a language of believers. At that level you have conquered the realm of personal needs. Are we together? It's like someone who is pressing to become a professor. You have left the level of studying undergraduate realities. You are still a student but not at that level.

That's how it is spiritually. So by the God cannot give you nations when you don't know how to use the word of God to meet your needs. You will be too distracted to obey him. So when he starts with you, he teaches you. This is why mentorship must be line upon line. You don't call people and start talking about nations. They don't even understand what you are saying. They are babes. You don't meet a little baby and as he's sucking the mother's breast, you are saying if you are prophesying on the child, that's fine.

But looking at the child and say child, you are going to the nations like you are having a conversation. That's a waste of time. The child wants to eat and sleep and cry and crawl. That's it. But eventually you win that child from breast milk. Then you now start telling him listen it's not just about roaming around and walking around the house. You will start going to school. You see that now you subscribe him to the 6334 system and for a long time in his life he will think all he will be doing is education.

Then one day he will learn that when you are a graduate. It does not end here. Now there's another dimension. You'll be gainfully employed. Then you will raise and support a family. Then you will be a leader. Then you will be this and that and that. Then you will be an elder. You see there are different dimensions of growth. That's how it is in the spirit. When you grow spiritually, these transitions eventually happen.

The first will be as an infant, God reveals himself to you. He helps you to know him. He begins to show you the forces of victory. You see that now? So that you begin to taste of victory personally. When you have needs and all of that, you are not thinking the nations. Any talk on the nations, you will just smile. But the truth is that it doesn't matter to you. There's house rent. There are all kinds of issues. And the correct way to raise ambassadors is to teach them the way of victory first before you teach them the way of purpose.

When you teach them the way of purpose without teaching them the way of victory, they will be too distracted by the bankruptcy of results to focus on the greater program. Is somebody learning? Praise the name of the Lord. Let's define capacity. I came up with some definitions and an approach that I consider quite impressive. I hope you'll be impressed as you learn. Capacity. Let's define it. I'm going to give you three definitions of capacity that I was able to put together.

Number one, I define capacity as the quantitative limit of a person or a thing. First definition, the quantitative limit of a person or a thing. That means the maximum amount or the maximum volume that a person or thing can hold or contain. I take that definition again. The first definition of capacity, the quantitative limit of a person or a thing. It means the maximum amount or volume that that person or that thing is able to hold or to contain.

So we're defining capacity. When we're talking capacity, it's a measure of the quantitative limit. How far can you hold? How far can you contain? How far can you retain? You have that down. The quantitative limit of a person. It measures the maximum amount or the volume that that person or thing can hold or can contain. Very quickly, let me give you the second definition. Ready? The second definition that I have down here is the upper limit.

I define capacity as the upper limit of an individual's power, competence, and aptitude. Don't put a full stop. Just write I'll continue. the upper limit of an individual's power, competence and aptitude to do, to contain, to absorb, to process and to deliver results. You must write it. I will take it again. The upper limit of an individual's power, competence, aptitude to do, comma, to contain, to absorb, to process, and to deliver results. the upper limit of an individual's power, competence, and aptitude to do, to contain, to absorb, to process, and to deliver results.

Let me give you the third. If you've not gotten there, get the teaching. Number three, what is the definition of capacity? The maximum production or generation rate of a person or a system. the maximum production or generation rate of a person or a system. Three definitions. All right, let me Messi speak. Let me run it one last time. Number one, the quantitative limit of a person or a thing. It's a measure of the maximum amount of volume that that person or thing can hold or contain.

Number two, the upper limit of an individual's power, competence, and aptitude to do, to contain, to absorb, to process, and to deliver results. And then number three, the maximum production or generation rate of a person or a system. Praise the name of the Lord. It's quite a broad and elaborate dis, you know, description, but I'll try to break it down. I try to put it together. I like to break very complex concepts and to make them uh small enough to allow for understanding and assimilation.

So, you can be sure that I would not leave you in the dark. Many of you just wrote it, but um you are trying to understand what you just wrote, but it's not quite clear. But that's why you are here. That's why we're teaching you the word. Now to understand capacity I want you to look at it in four dimensions and I'll read out those dimensions very quickly. Remember we defined it as generally speaking the quantitative limit of a person.

So it's a measure of how much you can hold or retain. But to thoroughly understand it you have to break it down to four dimensions. So I will give you four dimensions to understanding capacity. Dimension number one I call it a volutric dimension. Volutric dimension. That means it measures how much you can hold or how much you can contain before saturation. Volutric dimension. This is the first dimension to understanding capacity.

Volutric dimension. It's a measure of how much you can hold spiritually, mentally and whatever. how much you can hold or contain before saturation. Like a GP tank for an example. So if you buy a GP tank that say 2,000 L and you pour in 4,000 L, 2,000 will be wasted because the capacity of that GP tank is 2,000 L. That means everything beyond technically beyond 2,000 L cannot be retained. Are we together? So we're saying in in teaching capacity the first area for consideration is the volutric dimension.

So it talks about the ability to contain a measure of how much you can hold or contain before saturation. So this talks of size. This talks of volume. Everybody say capacity. >> A size and volume. One more time say capacity. >> A size and volume. Second dimension very quickly I call it functional dimension. The second dimension to understanding capacity is to consider the functional dimension. What does this mean? How far a person or a system can keep going before a breakdown.

A functional dimension. It's a measure of how far a person or a system can keep going before a breakdown. how far a person or a system can keep going before a breakdown. This measures your endurance or your staying power. Are we learning now? So the first dimension measures size and volume. But the second dimension measures your staying power. So it measures physical and mental toughness and it measures willpower. I'll take that again.

Functional dimension is how far a person or a system can keep going before you break down. It is a measure of endurance and staying power. Say endurance. >> Say staying power. Again say endurance stay staying power. So it it measures your physical and mental toughness and then your willpower. Story story. >> Once upon a time. So many years ago, we were about to be punished and um I can't remember what we did that was wrong.

I'm not even sure we did something wrong. I think we came late for sports and so they decided to punish a number of us who came late and the punishment was that we're going to go around the field track and we'll go once. Um so when we went round we just casually laughed at it and we felt no they said we should go around and while we're about going the you know the teacher our sports teacher said um we were laughing and maybe some persons and he thought we're making just of him and he said okay we're going to go seven times that was the punishment true story and so we began by the second third one many collapsed many gave up many said just kill me I'm not going anywhere but This is a true story.

At the end of it, the third round, the fourth round, by the time we got to four and a half, it was just two of us that were standing, myself and another gentleman who was my senior then. And it was as though it was a joke. And the man it suddenly became it went beyond a punishment to a discovery. He was going to introduce a dimension of sport that until then we had not gotten in school. Now listen please because he didn't believe that as young people would be able to do that marathon type race it would break us down but by 4 and a half we were still going and then the people started sharing us and all of that I was tired I can't remember whether I was flying or moving I just know that I was going forward and truly at a point we started walking together I'm not exaggerating just jumping together you know running together and we went five we went six And in a shocking way by the seventh round we all went together and arrived at the same time.

They clapped for us. It was no longer punishment. From that time they now introduced marathon during the inter house. Now this is capacity not as measure of volume but as your endurance. Do you understand what I'm telling you now? Yeah. This is very important. A measure of endurance. Functional dimension. Number three, the third dimension to understanding capacity is what I call cognitive and psychological dimension.

Cognitive is spelled C O N C O G N I T I V E. I hope I'm correct. Cognitive and psychological dimension. Capacity. This is a measure of the intellectual limits. cognitive and psychological dimension. This is a measure of the intellectual limits of an individual. Listen carefully. A me a measure of the intellectual limits of an individual to process information to manage emotional pressure to make rational decisions and to make sound judgment.

Let me take that again. Cognitive and psychological dimension of capacity measures the intellectual limit of an individual to process information. You have that down to manage emotional pressures. You'll be so blessed today. I'm telling you. to make rational decisions and then to make sound judgment without being exhausted or overwhelmed. Cognitive and psychological dimension to understanding capacity. Again, a measure of the intellectual limit of an individual.

I hope those following online are following. Please follow very carefully. It measures the intellectual limit of an individual to process information to manage emotional pressure to make rational decisions and to make sound judgment without being exhausted or overwhelmed. So this one measures strength, emotional strength and maturity. So number one measures volume and size. Are we learning? Number two measures mental toughness, endurance, staying power.

Number three mention measures emotional strength and maturity. Can I give you number four? Number four is called is a word that you have to be in the legal practice to understand. I tried to get another word but this was the word that best described what I was um trying to get from my study. is called judicial dimension. So let me spell juridicial for you. Judicial is spelled J U R I D I C I A L J U R I D I C I A L. I'm telling you if this is how they taught many students all these F F students get they wouldn't have gotten it that way.

Who would spell judicial for you? I mean they just write it. Write whatever it is. Praise God. Are we learning? Now listen to this. So judicial dimension, the root word is a legal word is something that has to do with you know but then we can uh extrapolate that word to apply to this. It's a measure of ranking and sphere of authority. Listen please. It's a measure of ranking and sphere of authority through resourcefulness, vastness of knowledge, accreditation, qualification and competence.

I'll take that again. Judicial dimension of capacity is a measure of ranking and sphere of authority that has come to a person through resourcefulness, vastness of knowledge or broadness of knowledge, accreditation, qualification and competence. So this talks of status and ranking that is based on resourcefulness and the accompanying accreditation. For an
