Give us great encounters tonight in the
name of Jesus Christ. Let us rise to
higher dimensions in the spirit. In
Jesus matchless name we pray. Amen and
amen. God bless you. Welcome to church.
Please be seated. Please be seated.
Please be seated. I was glad when they
said unto me, the psalmist says, "Let us
go to the house of the Lord."
Hallelujah. Amen and amen and amen. Are
tonight? Every part of the service
counts. Every part of the service is so
designed to help you become a dexterous
believer. From the prayer sessions, the
worship, the announcements, the
testimonies, the word, every part of the
service. There's no idle part of any
coonia service. Building faith,
empowering you, reminding you that God
is alive. planting faith, damaging
unbelief, setting the atmosphere for you
to receive the word. This is what
happens here. And we thank God for what
he said to do tonight. Tonight's
teaching is a burden. It's a great
burden in my heart. And um I believe
that this is one of those cries of the
spirit. And I believe it is a prophetic
message. It speaks to the things that
are happening in the spirit. It speaks
to the ongoing activities that
characterize the move of God. And I'm
praying in the name of Jesus Christ,
particularly for those who are at the
cutting edge of God's prophetic program.
You want to listen what the spirit of
God will be saying to the churches
tonight. As always, the word of God
comes to build us. We are fortified. We
are made. We are strengthened. How many
of you know that there's no version of
you that comes here that returns back as
the same version? It's impossible. It's
impossible. Not under this grace. There
is a making. There is a molting. There
is a growing. You are evolving. Are we
together? And it may not look like it,
but your assignment is to stay, to be
patient in his presence until he
produces a sign and a wonder out of your life.
life.
Hallelujah. Tonight, I want to show you
among the many factors that the Lord has
put in my heart and in my spirit. One of
the major factors that
has delayed God's prophetic program over
lives, over territories, over nations.
Hallelujah. God has a prophetic calendar
for the nations. He's always doing
something part time, per season. But the
manifestation of God's prophetic program
for my life, for our families, for our
communities, and for nations, it does
not just depend on his predetermined
counsel. There are many other factors
that can enhance, promote, partner with,
and make for the manifestation of his
prophetic program or frustrate, delay,
and even abort God's prophetic program.
Hallelujah. And tonight we're going to
be examining
um at least one of those major factors.
I pray that God will open our eyes in
the name of Jesus. I'm teaching tonight
on new wine skins. New wine skins.
Matthew chapter 9. I'll be showing you
god orained disruptions and god orained
realignments that are happening across
the body of Christ. Very prophetic
disruptions that are ongoing. They look
demonic but they are not satanic. They
are the engineering of God's
intelligence. It is his way of folding
away the old wine skin so that he will
bring the body of Christ to a point
where we carry that new wine skin that
can allow the new wine, that end time
anointing to rest upon us. Are you ready
to learn tonight in the name of Jesus?
So let's consider for a text Matthew chapter
chapter
9. We'll begin our reading from verse
14. Matthew chapter 9. I love reading
the Bible not only because it points men
to God, it sustains a flow of
intelligence that not only helps you to
know and understand God, but also to
excel in life when you notice the
progressions the way the gospels were
written from one teaching after another.
It's a very very beautiful expression.
Hallelujah. So let's start Matthew
chapter 9. This was um part of the
disciples of John. They came to him.
Then came to him the disciples of John
saying why do we and the Pharisees fast
often? But they who are your disciples
do not fast. It started with the matter
of fasting. Verse 15 reading to 17. And
Jesus said unto them, "Can the children
of the bride chamber mourn as long as
the bridegroom is with them?" He says,
"But the days will come, take note, a
season will come when the bridegroom
shall be taken from them, and then they
shall fast." Verse 16. Now Jesus goes
further to say, "No man puts a piece of
new cloth onto an old garment, for that
which is put in it to fill it up, take
it away from the garment by reason of
strength and use, of course, and then
the rent is made worse." You understand
what he's saying? Now verse 17 it says
neither in the same
vein still explaining the same thought
neither do men put new wine take note
new wine into old bottles or old wine
skins or old vessels else he says the
bottles will break and the wine runth
out and the bottles will perish or be
spent. It says, "But they put new wines
in new bottles or new wine skins, and
both are preserved." Let's look at NKJV.
I think the New King James Version would
call them wine skins. He says, "Nor do
they put new wine in old wine skins." It
says, "Les the wine skin break and is
spilled and the wine skins are ruined."
It says, "But they put a new wine in new
wine skins, and both the wine skin and
the wine is preserved." May the Lord
bless the reading of his word. in the
name of Jesus
Christ. I I think about God's program a
lot um among other reasons because we
are privileged by God to make meaningful
contributions to his prophetic program
across our region and then across the
nations of the globe. It's a lifetime
honor. It's an eternal honor in fact to
be part of um God's prophetic program to
have the honor of playing a significant
role as far as building
um God's people and frontiering his
program is concerned. And this causes me
to think a lot about the progress we're
making as a people. The progress we're
making with respect to God's prophetic
agenda. and it's brought a number of
concerns. They have come as a burden
from the spirit to my heart. These have
been contemplations that I've had in my
heart alone. I have discussed them with
a few like-minded believers, ministers
of the gospel and the Lord has given me
the liberty to communicate a few of
these concerns.
Um, so I'd like you to follow my thought
line. Really most of my teaching today
will be me thinking aloud just
transferring that burden to your heart
and helping you to gain perspective to
gain understanding as to why sometimes
it looks like God's program is delayed
as far as its manifestation is
concerned. Could it be that there is an
explanation as to why God would desire
to move so mightily to raise mighty
vessels uh to to allow for an outpouring
and for many years, many
decades, he will not find people who are
aligned enough to allow his program to
be birthed. Hallelujah.
I we want to examine tonight how we have
contributed to frustrating the program
of God for individuals, for families,
for communities and for nations and how
we can step into prophetic alignment as
soon as possible so that we partner with
God in birthing his program. It is not
new to us as a people and as a global
family how that the actualization of
God's program depends on what I call a
Godman partnership. It will always be
the bride in partnership with the spirit
to birth any prophetic program.
Hallelujah. So Jesus is speaking and um
he says men do not put a new cloth and
to mix it with an old garment and try to
patch both of them together. He's saying
that their strengths vary and because of
that there's going to be a tear and that
the rent will even be worst because
something is already wrong with that old
garment. And it says in the same
similitude that no one who wanting to
preserve wine will put new wine in an
old wine skin. You know why? Among other
reasons because when you put new wine it
fermentss. It will expand. It will
increase and the old wine skin is
already spent. It does not have the
power and the ability to sustain the
activities that the new wine will bring.
And it will be rented. it will be turned
and you will lose both the new wine and
the old wine skin. And it says if you
desire to put new wine, you have to
equally look for a wine skin that is as
powerful, that has the tensile strength
to accommodate the activity, the
fermentation, whatever it is that the
new wine will bring. This was a very
prophetic message Jesus was giving and
I'm hoping that the Lord will grant us
grace to unpack this in the course of
our discussion. You believe that with
me? Say, "Amen." Amen. One more time,
shout amen. Amen. The first thing I want
to point out tonight in dealing with
this contemplation of new wine is that
the biggest delay in my opinion, and I
believe that this uh has a lot of
scriptural references that I agree with.
The biggest delay to the move of God,
the biggest delay to territorial the
territorial dominion of the church is
the kind and the quality of vessels that
are available. There are many factors
that can interrupt the manifestation of
the move of God. There are many factors
that can affect the manifestation of
God's program in your life, in my life.
And in no particular order we have
ignorance. In no particular order we
have Satan and demonic forces. In no
particular order we have curses and
yolkes and all of that. But the biggest
in my opinion, the biggest interruption
as far as the manifestation of God's
prophetic agenda is concerned are the
kinds and the quality of vessels that
are available to be used. the kinds and
the quality of vessels that are
available to be
used greater than the presence of evil
spirits, greater than the presence of
demons, greater than the presence of
curses and yolks, greater than ignorance
and all of that. The greatest factor is
the limitation of the vessels that are
available to be used by God to birth his
purposes. Hallelujah. the word wineskin.
I I would save the issue of the cloth
and I'll just pick the subject of wine
skin. Now it is not unusual like you
have learned in this house for the Bible
to use metaphors in describing spiritual
realities. It was very consistent from
the Old Testament to the ministry of
Jesus. And even the apostles made use of
that at one point or the other to use
metaphors to help the people understand
spiritual things. And one of those
metaphors that Jesus used himself was
the subject or the the the the word wine skin.
skin.
And um of course generally speaking it
was an old language to mean bottle or
vessel or container. In ancient times
they used animal skin. They were not as
sophisticated as we are today um to use
all kinds of high techch like you know
plastics and so on and so forth.
Unfortunately most of them have
destroyed our ecosystem. Uh praise the
name of the Lord. In ancient times, they
would use animal skin and create bottles
and containers. And then sometimes they
would mold clay pots like we have in the
villages. Remember in John chapter 2,
the Bible says that wine finish the wine
was stored in a pot. And Jesus said to
fill the pots with um what do we call
it? With water that would later turn to
wine. So it was customary those days to
have wine skins or vessels of animals
that men would use to drink water, drink
wine and so on and so
forth. But then the extended meaning of
this um it goes beyond just a vessel um
you know an animal skin and I'm going to
be speaking a bit on it right now. So
wine skin is a metaphor that stands for
structure. Please write that down. The
word wineskin
uh is a metaphor that conotes structure.
It conotes
ideology. It conotes
perspective. It conotes an approach. Let
me take that again. The wine skin is a
metaphor that conotes
structure, conotes
ideology, conotes
perspectives, and conotes an approach. a
way of doing
orientation.
Hallelujah. So when the Bible talks
about wine skins, he's not just talking
about the individuals as vessels alone.
He's also talking about the structure
that has been created by the thinkings
of men. the structure that has been
created by belief systems. And he's
saying that it sustains such ability to
disrupt God's program or to partner with
the birthing of God's prophetic program.
If you understand me so far, say amen.
Hallelujah. So that the biggest delay,
the biggest disruption, interruption to
God's program are the kinds and the
quality of vessels that are available.
and not just the vessels but the kind of
wine skin that have been presented out
of those vessels. Praise the name of the
Lord. Now I let me share with you
something. It came as a discussion but I
thought to add it to my teaching. Do you
know every religion in fact most
religions and I've studied a number of
them by reason of my work I have studied
quite a number of religions Buddhism
Hinduism you know um several other
religions Islam and so on and so forth
just to gain perspective on how they see
things one I'm not trying to promote any
religion but one of the things that I
find quite honestly commendable in
studying other religions is that there
is a very defined way of viewing the
world from the lens of most religion.
Please pay attention now. Are we
together? There is a defined pathway. We
call it a world view. That means when
you are a practitioner of those
religions, there is already a Google, a
vista upon which you use to view the
world. So it trains you to see the world
in a certain way.
Are we together now? And it has informed
the behavior of those who are
practitioners of that religion. And
quite honestly, there are a few people
who by viewing the world using certain
parameters as proposed by those
religions from a human standpoint have
succeeded tremendously. Is the reason
why you find certain people succeed
across regions. I don't want to give
glory to the devil and all of that. So
I'm not going to mention names in any
particular order. But you'll notice
there are a few people who come from
certain regions across the globe who
succeed exceptionally. It doesn't matter
where they go to, they succeed. You know
why? Because their faith practice has
given them a world view. There is a way
that they look at life that necessitates
that they win. Are we together now?
Praise the name of the Lord. Yeah. This
is true. For instance, let me take for a
rel just an instance Buddhism. Buddhism
is a religion that is studied largely or
live practiced largely in India and you
know parts of East Africa and Asia and
so on and so forth. And um um of course
they have is largely about morals and
rising to a level of of consciousness
you know and so on and so forth like
that. And because of some of the
teachings that are found there,
brotherly kindness, you know, justice,
not being cruel, the law of karma and
all these kinds of things, you find out
that people by reason of although they
are using the flesh, but you notice that
because they look at the world from the
propositions that have come from those
faith practices, some of them even
without the Holy Spirit assisting them,
they are already closer to the gate of
the kingdom. Are we together? They will
not steal. They will not lie. Not
necessarily because they have overcome
it, but because they look at the world
from a certain viewpoint. They know that
if I still, even if I'm not caught,
there is a law that will eventually fish
me out. Are we together? And it has
seemed to be a school master to bring
certain levels of moral excellence and
certain levels of dexterity uh across
their societies. So this is what I'm
saying. Now, in my study, and it's
embarrassing to say this, but in my
study, I found out that the Christian
faith, even though we propose it to be
the most potent of all faith practices,
is the most disoriented as far as giving
the believer a defined way of looking at
life. Who understands my teaching so
far? The most disoriented. So, you'll
find out that different people have
different viewpoints. You're going to be
learning a lot tonight. And most
people's failure is traceable to how
they they they were taught to see the
world. What pullpit taught them to see
God. What pullpit taught them to define
success. Are are we together now? There
are people no matter what kind of
deliverance you conduct on them, they
will already fail because their
viewpoint is wrong. It's already
corrupted. Are we together? They call
light darkness and they call darkness
light. and they have become so
unbendingly loyal to that viewpoint that
there's almost nothing that can be done
about their
lives. You cannot put new wine in an old wine
wine
skin. It will rent it. It will tear it
and you will lose both. But if it is new
wine, you will have to put it in a new
wine skin. Are we together?
Now I wrote a few things here. What is
the believer's world view on subjects
like God? Let's take God for instance.
There's an ongoing series that we
suspended for a while in this house
about the fundamental doctrines of the
Christian faith. Get the average
believer. Please listen and hear me out.
Get the average believer and probe that
believer's understanding as to this
diety called God that he worships. You
will be surprised that that believer
will end up being more confused trying
to explain to you why he worships God.
Ask the average believer, "Who is God?"
And he says, "Why are you asking me that
kind of foolish question?" And you say,
"No, it's not a foolish question. Who is
God? I saw you kneeling down. I saw you
waving your hands. I saw you rolling on
the ground. I saw you saying God is
great. Help me. Who is God?" Assume that
I came from a background where I never
had the opportunity to go to Sunday
school to learn about Jesus. talk to me
who is God and the person will say
listen let me tell you me too eh the
same way they gave me this thing that's
the same way I'm doing it too don't ask
me any question if you are following
following if you are not following go to
hell but don't ask me any
question that is when the believer
himself will find out that you are just
religiously practicing something you do
not have an understanding of are we
together yeah what is the believer's
viewpoint on living oh god I don't want
to get There the Pentecostals have their
viewpoints. The evangelicals have their
viewpoints. Are we together? The
charismatics have their viewpoints and
you know conservatives have their
viewpoint. Pseudo Christians have their
viewpoints. When you talk of life, it
means many things to many people
depending on what pullpit fed them. Who
is learning tonight? It's a very
dangerous programming. So while we are
mentioning the same words, it does not
What is the believer's viewpoint on
marriage? I don't even want to get
there. We won't end this night. If I
ever make a mistake of opening that
door, it will push all of us together
because of the load of things we have to
discuss there. The believer's viewpoint
on marriage. You don't want to even talk about
about
that. from the ones who believe God
gives wives and husbands to the ones who
believes there's nothing like that to
the and I mean there's a mix of all
kinds of things. So when a believer
wants to approach the subject of
marriage and family life he's already
confused because there's a plethora of
vistas again depending on what pullpit
fed you who is
learning what is the believer's
worldview on success. Do you know there
are people on hearing that word success
what comes to them is God forbid this is
terrible this is canality this is Satan
there are other people when you say
success they are saying now you are
speaking my language and all of us are
supposed to be the practitioners of the
same faith now in many of these world
religions you see as inferior as they
are or we claim them to be by the time
you mention certain subjects there is a
fair enough universal spread are we
together they They they understand the
boundaries of what you are saying. If
you tell a Buddhist or you tell a Hindu
practitioner success, two of them are
not confused about what it means to
them. But you have three believers stand
and say what is success? What is
success? Another person will say I is an
insult to be talking to me about success
because my frame of understanding
interprets success the same way it interprets
sickness. who is
learning and yet for another person if
you do not mention success it doesn't
matter what else you are saying you have
not spoken about God I'm telling you
there is such a disruption that has
happened to our perspective our world
view is the reason why five believers
can all be professing believers appear
somewhere and they will shock
themselves are we together because as
brothers and sisters who hold hands in
fellowship until we begin to practice
what we are calling success. For another
person, success means go forward
anyhow. If you can bribe, bribe. You can
kill, kill. For another person, success
means stay and remain a mediocre.
Provided you don't go forward and you
have a feeling of righteousness, you are
successful for God's sake. What now
becomes a clear definition as to that
term. Are you getting the point? Now
there is a generation that is confused
because many terminologies now have
become personal
revelations you can't generalize it when
you say God five believers understand
five different things when you say
living or lifetime it means different
things to many people how about victory
for someone victory means I don't
believe demons exist victory means it's
finished in Christ I don't believe in
curses or whatever For another person,
victory means there is a consistent
fight every day. I win per day and watch
how life
goes. Now imagine if those two
wife. Are we together? For the one, she
believes I'm victorious in Christ. I
don't need to go through the
religiousity of praying over food before
I eat it. The Bible says it has been
sanctified with thanksgiving. Please
give me my meal. Another man says, "No,
you suspect. Why is there red on that
plate? I I mean a white plate came out
from the kitchen. I'm suddenly seeing a
red mark. That is a sign of a familiar
spirit. And both of them are arguing on
the table there courtesy their
worldview. And do you know the issue is
that we are so loyal to what we hold on
to. So there is even no possibility of
saying okay let's calm down. Everybody
drop what you believe and let's at least
give God a chance to show us what is right.
How about finances? Probably one of the
most controversial areas in terms of our
world view. So there are believers who
believe in truth that a believer should
not be found within the cosmos engaging
in anything finances. Are we together?
They have said it vocally or
subliminally. The result of that kind of
poisonous teaching is that they have
come a generation of poor, degenerated
and struggling believers with no no
financial wherewithal whatsoever waiting
on God to solve their problems. Do you
know I'm not God but I think I've tasted
a bit of the I don't want to use the
word frustration. God cannot be
frustrated. But as a man, I've tasted a
bit of the of the nonsense that men do
to God by the text message people send
to me. Because your text message is your
belief system. Are we together? Terrible belief
belief
systems. Someone can send me a text and
say, "Apostle, look, I've been waiting
on God. Is it that God does not answer
my prayer? What does it take for him to
change my story?" And I'm thinking, "My
God, who is mentoring this man? I hope
this man is not in Coonia that I've been
teaching about the God man principle and
there is no communication of
responsibility whatsoever. So this
gentleman believes and some of them who
are texting me are pastors. I'm now
saying can you imagine those who are
finances. On the other hand, there are
those who have been mentored into having
such an obsession their entire scope of
everything God is money. In their minds
and by their theology, God equals to
money. You are not doing well as a
Christian if you don't have money. If
you are not you are not doing well as a
Christian if you don't make progress.
Those things are subtle but poisonous
teachings. How about the issue of
sickness and divine healing? There are
people who look at the world, anything
that looks tragic, they interpret it as
coming from Satan. Are we together?
Because of statements like God is a good
God. You know, every good and every
perfect thing comes from God. And now
with that kind of theology when people
go through sad moments, they don't know
how to incorporate their moments as far
as what they are being taught is
concerned. So I have prayed and prayed
and I lost my brother. I prayed and
prayed and I lost my job.
Now, the side effect of that dangerous
programming is that many people take
drugs in secret and lie. You know what
I'm saying, right? They take drugs and
lie and say, "I've never taken drugs for
the last 5
years." And the doctor who treated them
is part of the congregation and is
"Haha, are we together?"
Then we have those who beg and beg and
beg and beg and borrow. They beg and
borrow correct loan and come out and say
in the name of Jesus Christ I've never
collected one. See, so while we keep
deceiving ourselves like this, it is
because something from the pullpit has
engineered the way you look at the world
and it's made you a failure. How many
people have lost an opportunity to
redeem the body of Christ from shame and
calamity because they were not taught
influence when God gave them an
opportunity to head an organization.
They rejected it because they were
called a pastor. Their idea of full-time
ministry. Are we together? And then evil
people now took the helm of affairs and
begin to punish believers. And all of us
globe. Do you know there are people
today and I don't mean please don't find
it as an insult. There are people today
who lost their loved ones since December
with all due respect they have not
buried them till now May. Do you know
why? Because something about the
engineering it made them know that it
can't be God. God can do all things and
we still believe.
Oh, look. The things that happen in the
church are painful and shameful. And all
of that came from the pullpit. Sunday
after Sunday, like a drug, members keep
swallowing all kinds of pills. Some for
their destruction. Do you know somebody
became a worse Christian after this morning
morning
service? He was a better Christian by
Saturday night. As soon as he appeared
in church, he sat under a teaching, sat
under a viewpoint that destroyed the
schemes. Our world view has been largely
corrupted. I can tell you the reason why
we quote very expensive scriptures like
I am above and not beneath. You've read
that scripture, I am the head and not
the tail. It has become mockery to the
average Christian right now. So there is
a theology that is subtly downplaying
that. The reason is because we've not
seen these things work in our lives. Our
confession is betrayed by our world
view. Something about the way we see
life is the reason why we keep failing.
Something about the way we interpret
God. Something about our idea of heaven.
Please look up. I don't even want to go
there. Do you know right now heaven
means many things to many people. When
you mention heaven that understanding
call 10 believers and tell them what is
heaven? For someone heaven means peace.
For someone heaven means somewhere
beyond the sky where everybody goes
there. For someone heaven means a
No believer can become victorious if God
does not help us to unify our world view from
scripture. Do you know what that means?
I make a statement and not everybody
shouts amen because your interpretation
is coming from the lens of what you
think I am saying. Are we together? For
instance, if I say in the name of Jesus
Christ, may God prosper you. for someone
on hearing that one sermon your pastor
once preached one day somewhere will now
stand against this. No, no, no, no, no.
This prosperity thing, I hate it. I
reject it. And a part of you saying you
are suffering, no, but a part of you
say, but it's for Christ. I'm a
And I began to examine
myself that if I did not adjust my own
perspective, my own world view, it may
interrupt and affect the people that I
teach. And this is why I keep examining
myself. What do I believe? And why do I
believe what I believe? Who is learning
so far? This is very powerful.
There are people today who cannot be
healed because they do not even believe
in that possibility. Uh they agree that
there is something called the power of
God but they do not believe the power of
God can be made visible here and now.
They don't believe it. They may not
argue it but it's not a revelation in
their heart to see the power of God
revealed here and now. And every time
they see the power of God revealed, the
first thing is suspicion.
any unusual miracle. They said, "No, no,
no. Let's stand back and look very well
first. This guy just walked." Mm-m. This
man, I've always been suspecting it, but
now it looks like my suspicion is getting
stronger. Hallelujah. There are people
whose world
viewers with God's vision of increase
for their lives. There are pastors who
cannot have beyond 500 members. Even if
they fast for one year, they cannot. Are
we together? Something about their
mindset makes it a risk for God to trust
capacity. What is the church, the
believer's worldview on getting involved
in societal issues? I'm just priming
your your curiosity. Look up please.
Till today, believers keep suffering
when it has to do with election period.
Do you know why? Because we still do not
know where the church should stand on
matters that deal with politics and
state. Who is hearing what I'm saying
now? How many people have been
persecuted because they wanted to come
out for election? How many people were
persecuted because they refused to vote
and they were idolized and say you
refuse to vote you are a bad Christian
for other persons you voted so so and so
so and so and so you see that now varying
varying
perspectives there are many preachers
who do not believe that the church
should be directly involved in national
affairs once you are a politician they
look at you as a corrupt person don't
even come near them and so because of
that They have given a generation a subliminal
subliminal
indoctrination. God is sovereign. He
will do what you would do uh from a
political standpoint. But as for you,
it's none of your business. Come and
live your quiet life in holiness and
righteousness. If you die in the
process, you are going to heaven. And
that engineering has produced a certain
kind of
Christians. And there are others on the
other side who have been taught that
your spiritual life does not matter. You
just get involved. You are a Daniel
without Daniel's spirituality. Are we
together? You are a Gideon without
Gideon spirituality. They are just
interested in Gideon's warfare without
So you find out that a corrupt person
who identifies with a church all he
wants to do is to get votes and become a
politician for instance and they use the
church and once they get that office as
soon as they get it they become
something else they didn't change they
that is the reason why people can bow
down to idols and by Sunday they in
church sitting in front and We give them
all kinds of glamorous honor and when
all is said and done they are not
serious with God but thanks they are
bringing money to church and we feel
Hallelujah. How many let let me let me challenge
challenge
you. At least for me the biggest
Christian organization that is the
biggest employer of labor in
Nigeria. Some of you don't even care.
What I just said now makes no sense to
you. As far as you are concerned, I'm
wasting your time. It's still part of
this engineering. I'm correcting because
someone has told you that these issues
don't concern you. You just walk with
God. If God wants to lift you, he will
lift you anyhow. Very smallminded thinking.
Did you hear what I just said? Which
bornagain tongue talking believer today
whose organization can you say is the
highest and the biggest employer of
labor? And yet there are pastors are
praying for people every week to get
jobs. Question where are the jobs and
where will they come from? You see how
we make a fool of ourselves? The last
time I prayed for people for jobs, they
were people enough to be a congregation
who came out. Now all those guys believe
that the anointing that came from me is
powerful enough to give them jobs. The
only thing is that where are the
jobs? Because the person whose mandate
and orientation is to build the business
that makes that prophecy come to pass,
his vision has been killed by the
Did you hear what I said? That CEO's
vision was killed the moment he joined a
church. The moment he joined Coonia, a
poisonous engineering came from a
well-intentioned preacher that destroyed
his appetite for growth and called it piety.
Africa is where it is
today because the church has largely
contributed to shaping a poisonous
worldview not to be involved in matters
of society. How many of you know that
terrible things can be happening across
the nation and the church has been
taught to fold their arms, keep quiet,
don't care. At best pray. Our idea of
praying is spiritualize your
fear. Just spiritualize your fear so
that you have a consolation that at
least you spoke to God while waiting for
change. Change that never comes because
our theology has produced an
Christians. Hallelujah.
Ask the average young graduate right
now, what are you going to make out of
your life? For most of them just for
asking that question, here's their reply.
reply.
Shabalanto, what did you say again? A
great life. I I I let me tell you all
the visions. When I was in 400 level and
and you are looking at
him and you say, "Okay, now that you are
done, I'm not downplaying your tongues.
Where are you going from here?" He say,
"I know God. I know how God lifted me. I
know the grace upon my life. That same
person after 5 years, you will see him
like a horse that has been tamed. He may
not even be born again because he's
angry, offended at the pastor who he
believed deceived him on
campus. There are many angry young men
today because the propositions we have
given them even though it seemed to have
come from God based on our theology is
not produced victory in their lives.
How many believers are still owing rent in
in
church? Talk to me. How many believers
do not have food to eat and it seems to
not be an issue for the pastor and yet
we demand that every Sunday members
should show up not online on site and
they are not armed robbers and you are
trying to stop prostitution. Why
wouldn't the lady be be tempted to
prostitute herself when she lives in say
Kuba or lives in somewhere you know in
Ko and she's a worker in church and she
must show up on
Sunday if not you will be the first to
persecute the lady and say she's not
serious now she does not have any
The Christian faith needs to get back to
the drawing board and re-examine what
our worldview is. There are certain
things if I believed I would have been a
failure in life. They were brought forth
by sincere people. But looking from
hindsight, I thank God for giving me the
stubbornness to have refused them
because those programmings would have
they would have brought me into a life
of total
failure. Total failure. Are we together?
Total failure.
And you see the dangerous thing about
preachers is that as preachers while we
advocate this error eventually we find
the truth ourself through growth we
repent quietly and readjust and start
enjoying the blessings while leaving the
people who were listening to our
yesterday's sermon to be destroyed. We
would have evolved and are making
progress. Forgive oursel for our
ignorance and leave the thousands who
Hallelujah.
There are many believers today who do
you know just knowing the value of
relationships alone would have opened
doors for them. Are we together? They
did not know and they were not mentored
that your destiny helper can also be an
unbeliever. So they were looking for
Christians who will help them. All kinds
of unbelievers were around. They hated
them because a theology taught them to
hate and fight them. And they were
searching for their church members to
leave them. Now they have become 30
years, 40 years, all the opportunities
for a job have
gone. How about the one who was taught
that there's one wife and there's one
husband somewhere. That lady sat down
and many good men kept coming. I love
you. Go. The lady refused because
somehow she had one dream engineered by
an ignorant pastor Simmon and kept that
lady there and every good man that loves
Hallelujah. There are many many people
today listen to me whose businesses
would have scaled to global heights. But
do you know what happened to them?
Something about a sermon they heard made
them hate social media. And just because
there are things that are wrong, they
did not take advantage of it. And they
are watching someone they train today
get global because he embraced a part of
rejected. Hallelujah. I have seen very
great people remain small in life
because of the engineering that came
from a pullpit. Please, I want you to
listen to me very carefully. There are
many young men today who would have been
champions. One year under the right
atmosphere, they will bloom and blossom
and thrive. They have become victims of
the poisons that came from the
pullpit. Now, I'm not I'm not in any way
trying to downplay what has come from
the pullpit. I'm just telling you the
role that the pullpit has played in
creating an aberrated world view.
Look at me. Do you know how many people
prophesied boldly that rapture would
have happened yesterday?
Yes. And and with all due respect, do
you know how many people were victims of
that? They sold their businesses and
sold everything and refused to live
responsible lives. They would have been
millionaires today. Some of them are
suffering today courtesy the ignorance
from the pullpit.
How many people today had the
opportunity to get visas to go and just
because you want to teach the concept of
the will of God, it was not taught well
opportunities. There are many people who
are suffering foolishly and rejoicing
over it, calling it suffering for
I've seen an evil under the sun that the
pool pit can also become worse than a
shrine. I've seen an evil under the sun
that if not doed by the mercy of God and
by genuine compassion for God's people,
the pullpit can be worse than a shrine.
Did you hear what I said? that the
pullpit I've told you false prophecy is
bad but false teaching is
worst because if I prophesying to you
falsely all you need is light and you
discard it but teaching is
re-engineering your mind it will not
just live in one
day some of you right now as you are
listening to me you love me and you are
trying to believe what I'm saying but a
part of you that has been kept small by
plenty sermons The sermons have become
like a luggage on your head. It has
nothing. You cannot put new wine in an
old wine scheme. I have met preachers
sound and vibrant as an individual, but
the graces, the authorities and the
platforms they are under will never
allow them bloom. You know why? The
programming, the mentality that is sold
there does not allow for
growth. I have seen business people
remain small. I have seen there are with
all due respect there are certain areas
in the body of Christ that
subconsciously victimizes women. Women
never write. I'm not talking about some
of these funny women gender thing by
people who don't know God and don't even
know where they are going. That's not
what don't confuse what I'm saying now.
Are we together now? Praise the name of the
the
Lord. Very wrong, destructive,
subliminal programmings. There are
pastors who have been the singular
reason for the destruction of many
marriages because of what they thought
as the roles of a couple in
marriage. Are we together? And there are
others who have foiled a campaign of
canality in their church because they
overemphasize contemporary living and
they brought it to a point where it it
it it raped sorry to use that word it
raped the conscience of the young people
and right now everybody says it's my
life have you heard that kind of
statement a child will insult the mother
and say it's my life I school in US I
school in Canada And those kinds of
pulpit. So someone is smoking and cannot
believe that the power of God can break
that addiction. He says, "You know what?
Give me time. I I I have a schedule of a
5year period to withdraw. Whereas I'm
smoking one pack per day. I will reduce
halfway." And those kinds of people can
even be leaders in church. And they
don't hide it. He say, "I'll report it
to your pastor." Say, "He already knows.
My pastor already knows. I'm on a
therapy. It's going to take a while.
I hope what I heard was not true. But I
heard that there are certain parts in
this nation where after a conference
when people are going on break you
literally will find provisions for
people to smoke and drink places that
they can in case you are tired from the
conference there's a place you can help
yourself before the evening session. I'm
truth. So when we say all Christians
stand up who do you think will be left
seated? Nobody because we are blood the
is. Many believers have a poor world
view on
opportunities. Many believers have a
poor worldview on interpreting and
dealing with tragic situations. Now with
all due respect and this is not to
challenge you. There are many people who
cannot say I have a fever. God forbid.
Now I understand what they mean by
positive confession. Are we together?
But even when a doctor is serious they
are confusing the man because they think
if I say how are you feeling my dear
patient? I'm very fine. The doctor takes
it literal. Oh you are fine. you are
hereby discharged and the person is
dying because the person was not taught
that if you admit before the doctor you
are not betraying your belief. They they
were not touch the line between
responsibility and the declaration of faith.
faith.
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
Something is really wrong with the body
of Christ. And I'm not saying this from
a sarcastic standpoint. I'm telling you
that the reason why there is widespread
failure from Christians is largely
because the advantage God gave to change
society called the pool pit has become
worse than a shrine in terms of the kind
of software we have translated to
people. Now fair enough we give credit
to men and women of God. Everybody is
doing their best. But let me tell you
the truth. There needs to be a thorough
re-editing of the content that is used
to serve God's people week in week out.
That's what produces champions. There
are people who God helped them by
bringing them under certain ministries.
6 months under structured mentorship,
their lives blossom because the devil I
mean God deconstructed those wrong
belief systems and helped them to see
the way of the kingdom more perfectly
and they began to thrive. They began to
blossom. With all due respect, there are
ministries and I'm I'm saying this with
with every sense of passion and
compassion and respect for the body of
Christ. There are ministries if you sit
under from the day you sit you start
going down spiritually. It's not about
being is because of the value system of
the leaders that train the people. They
downplay prayer. They downplay fasting.
They downplay spiritual activities. They
downplay consecration. Once you have
money and you have good brain, you are
all right. It's a subtle but dangerous
engineering. On the flip side, there are
ministries if you arrive there, you
start rising spiritually, but every
other aspect of your life goes down as
you are rising. Your prayer life goes
up, word study life goes up, your
influence goes down, character goes
down. It it's a smallminded congregation
There are ministries with all due
respect when you find yourself planted
there, you've gotten into slavery
because you will not even use the toilet
until you get permission from a man of
God. All in the name of prophetic
activities, destroying marriages and
destroying all kinds of
things. Are we together?
I hate to be the one to have to say
this, but I'm saying it in love.
Something is
wrong. Something is wrong. Do you know
how many sermons are direct products of
jealousy? Do you know how many sermons
are direct products of insecurity? Do
you know how many sermons are direct
products of pride? Do you know how many
sermons are direct products of lack of
transformation? Do you know how many
sermons are direct products of fear? So
ministers create all these things out of
their fear, their lust, their
jealousies. With all due respect, a
person who is afraid of losing members
will suddenly piece two or three
scriptures together and come up with a
threatening sermon. You listen to any
other man of God, you are under a curse.
what? Now, now listen, listen. Don't
don't don't shout and say, "Tell them,
don't misbehave. Be orderly. I'm
teaching here. Praise the name of the
Lord." We don't do that in Coonia. Don't
shout, tell them, and No, no, no, no.
together? Oh, I received a miracle.
Where did you receive the miracle? I was
quietly listening to a coonial message.
Uhhuh. So you are saying what I'm giving
you is not enough sir. It's not
enough. It is not enough. No sir, it is
not enough. God designed it that way. It
is not enough. It's called the
body. Hallelujah.
So you find out for instance a man of
God who knows nothing about signs and
wonders and the anointing simply because
he does not want you to listen to
another person. He would rather conjure
nonsense as a series and keep teaching
and teaching and the you know one thing with
with
membership help you. Do you know members
know when their men of God are talking
nonsense. Oh they just keep nodding but
they know between them and God they know
they are not getting blessed. They're
just waiting to exhaust that service so
that they can now go and settle down and
trust. The idea is not to downplay the
church. That's not what I'm
doing. But I'm telling you that
something is wrong with our world view.
We have failed in life. Do you know
there are preachers that actually
believe the official way for a man of
God to excel as far as his needs are concerned is begging and somebody giving
concerned is begging and somebody giving you money somewhere. That's it. There
