Commanding Results (keys To Unquestionable Dominion) by Apostle Joshua Selman: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Why you come to the house of God

It doesn't just take love for God to be in his house. It takes discipline. Many things clamor for our time and attention

You must select what and where to invest your time. Your destiny goes the direction of your attention

Sow to folly and vanity and you reap the corresponding harvest. Sow to wisdom, grace and learning and you reap a victorious, fulfilled Christian life Galatians 6:8

Never see coming to church as a ritual or as doing the man of God a favor. When God gathers us it is for our good. God does not increase because we came

Take away familiarity. I approach the word, giving it or hearing it, with sacredness, discipline and responsibility

You are not here because someone asked you to register your presence. You are here because:

• You love Jesus Christ
• You love your destiny
• It is part of the requirement for your growth process
• You access the way that leads to victory and dominion
• Your life will find meaning and fulfillment
• His power and presence bring supernatural solutions, beyond science and medicine

Psalm 20:1-2

He sends help from his sanctuary, not just into it. His sanctuary is a place of help because the Helper, the Paraclete, is there

Psalm 84:7, Isaiah 40:31

The quality of believers reflects the quality of training

The quality of believers that emerge from any platform reflects the training they submit to. That depends on the growth of the man of God and the seriousness of his investment

Every time we make contact you should leave more refined, wiser, more anointed. Fears die as the word is taught.

We grow you out of superstition and guesswork into confidence and mastery, out of doubt into certainty

Your assignment:

1. Trust God who is the head of this vision
2. Trust the wisdom he has invested in us as wise master builders
3. Give yourself and your destiny a chance to grow

Anything plus the word of God can become the best version of itself. Failure plus the word. Limitations plus the word. Hopelessness plus the word. He is the resurrection and life, healer, lifter, restorer

Many wallow in aimlessness, anger and confusion with no way out. God raised us as instruments of mercy to show you the way Proverbs 14:12

Receive the word with meekness James 1:21. No braggadocious mentality, I know this. Come with the malleability of a student

The kind of believer you are becoming

2 Peter 1:12 It is an apostolic responsibility to remind the church

Faith is vision dependent. Transformation is difficult without a reference

A medical student isn't a doctor yet, but he has a picture of what a doctor looks like. When weary or discouraged that image gives him energy to press on

No matter where you are, this is where you are going. At the end of this refining all eight qualities must be richly captured in your life. Then you cannot be called a failure

1. Spiritually vibrant and doctrinally sound

   Passionate love for Jesus and the things of God, deeply consecrated, with reverence and honor towards God

2. Christlike character

   We are not raising hooligans who are just anointed, or reckless people. We raise people with the fruit of the Spirit manifested

3. Enlightened, intelligent and thoroughly transformed

   A thorough understanding of the word and its working dynamics. Taught how to produce profit from the word

4. Highly anointed and empowered

   Manifesting the power and authority of the kingdom. You cannot be under this grace and remain bankrupt of the anointing

5. Responsible, productive, purpose-driven and effective

   Many stop at four. The first four are about you. This one connects to your fulfillment and purpose. It is the kingly dimension of your priesthood

   Fathers who take care of their children. Mothers who are blessings in their home. Businessmen who rise to the highest point. Prayer warriors who are also exceptional people

6. A trained and refined agent of societal or territorial transformation

   Not just victorious in your own life but an agent of change for your territory and nation. That is why we teach church and state, the triumphant Christian, the apostolic Christian, how nations become great

7. Love and honor towards the body of Christ and all men

   1 Peter 2:17

   We are not a people of hate. You are not a true Koinonia believer if you nurse the slightest hate for the body of Christ

   Honor is a culture, not what we accord rich men. It flows to all: children, youth, the aged, poor, rich, male, female, educated or not

8. A truly fulfilled and satisfied believer

   Satisfied knowing you spent your life loving Jesus, living victorious and advancing the kingdom

   Many are successful but hate themselves. Success is not a gift you give yourself.

   The gift you give yourself is fulfillment, from knowing you served the purposes of the kingdom and became a blessing to humanity

If someone asks why you are always in church, don't answer in anger. Say, let me show you what I'm becoming. Point to which of the eight does not look desirable for a great destiny

Jesus painted a picture before the training began Matthew 4:19. The disciples endured until the later part, which they could not endure because the Holy Ghost was not yet in them.

4 dimensions of an effective teaching ministry

1. Doctrine

   The sound communication of the foundational principles of the Christian faith

2. Principles and mysteries of the kingdom

   The culture and modus operandi of a real spiritual sphere. You must be taught and trained

   Jesus is the one key to the kingdom John 14:6, John 10:9. Once in, there are the keys of the kingdom: the principles to navigate it and walk a life of dominion

3. Wisdom for living

   The intelligence to reign and operate within the cosmos. We coexist with godless people whose value system is not Christ's

   Matthew 10:16 Sheep in the midst of wolves need a certain kind of intelligence

   This is the mystery of the cosmos, not the kingdom. Universal laws, many of them a liftoff of kingdom laws, not used with the accuracy God intended

   Most believers know how to walk in the kingdom but not how to relate with the unbelieving world. On Monday you meet someone who does not respect your God. How do you relate?

4. A word compliant worldview

   If you don't see the world accurately, your interpretation of life is inferior and God cannot raise you to serve his program beyond certain levels

   You must understand God's salvation plan for nations and how nations are built. Without that, God cannot make you governor or president because your being there is no advantage to the kingdom

Commanding results: keys to unquestionable dominion

Job 38:33 God is probing Job about the ordinances of heaven

God's dominion on earth is set up by engaging very specific kingdom laws

Job 22:21-22 Acquaint yourself means get familiar, submit, be in agreement. Don't be in defiance of the laws of the kingdom

God desires every believer to live an excelling Christian life John 10:10, Proverbs 4:18

God is glorified when we live victoriously, spiritually, financially, relationally, destiny-wise John 15:8, John 15:16, Galatians 1:24. Ordained means commissioned, to legitimize your operation

Matthew 25:14-28 God wants us to succeed. The one who did nothing was called wicked and unprofitable

God wants holistic victory: spiritual, mental, destiny, health, finances, relationships, home. Where it is not reflected in every area, keep pressing

Finances with a dying spiritual life is not wholesome. Knowing God and being broke: well done for knowing God, don't stop pressing. Abraham was blessed in all things Genesis 24:1

2 principal factors of success, dominion and victory

1. Relationships

   I used to think success was entirely laws. There is a level of relationship with God where, before you learn the laws, you step into certain levels of success.

   Relationship took me there, then the laws gave me mastery

   Your relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Ghost

   Proverbs 13:20 The man was not wise as he walked, not even ready to learn. By joining the chariot of the wise he eventually shall be.

   You can succeed by world parameters without Jesus. Never complete, wholesome dominion outside Jesus

   We are surrounded by spirits determined to thwart everything good in our lives. Laws only work when spirits don't fight you

2. Laws

   1 + 1 = 2 scientifically and mathematically, but not when Satan is fighting you

   Competence should lead to rewards provided the person to promote you is not under the influence of demons or sentiments.

   You can keep the law of diligence and still be stunted. This is where relationship comes in

One brings the life of Christ, the other the mind of Christ. The life of Christ plus the mind of Christ equals the manifestation of victory

These truths are not my opinion. They predate me. We found them by grace. They are not cunningly devised fables 2 Peter 1:16

Motion left to right is not progress. Progress demands that your next step is greater than your former step

It is God's will for you to be victorious and to command results. The end of all arguments is consistent results in ever-increasing dimensions. Not debates

In Job they are called ordinances. An ordinance is a precept, a modus operandi that, engaged, guarantees a predictable outcome

Illustration: Brother A and Brother B

Both saved in the same place, same mentorship, workers, faithful.

After 2 to 4 years A has evolved into an excelling Christian financially, spiritually, relationally.

B is a frustrated believer wondering why his life isn't working

Not the love of Jesus, not the mentorship. Perhaps the difference is their investedness in understanding the laws of the kingdom

Second only to your relationship with God, the difference between a champion and a frustrated believer is enlightenment in the laws and the discipline to engage them consistently until they deliver

Being a sign and a wonder is the heritage of all believers Isaiah 8:18. In your family, workplace, Nigeria, church.

Job 28:7 Virgin dimensions in the spirit, and you find rest for your soul Jeremiah 6:16. A way of champions and winners. I don't care what family you came from

The mother who testified broke the siege people don't cross there, the first woman to clock 60. She didn't clock 60 because Satan wanted it. She found a key

Results are not accidental. Spiritual fire, a superior belief system, strategic kingdom relationships, health and vitality, the anointing in increasing dimensions, testimonies following your word, prospering with integrity, influence, longevity. None of it is accidental

Not knowing a certain law can cost you your life. You can have great prophecy over your head and not know the law that defends.

2 Corinthians 2:14 We always triumph, not circumstantially, always

10 laws of the kingdom

1. The law of priesthood, the law of the altar

   2 Chronicles 15:12-15

   In any destiny, aware or not, the altar powers the throne. The efficiency of your priesthood determines the extent and sustainability of your dominion. Careless priesthood means a shaky throne

   Judah's covenant was not to be successful or find rest but to seek the Lord with all their heart.

   It was an oath, not an emotional decision. The reward was rest round about, to all who sought him

   An altar is simply a spiritual system of authorization. It gives allowance or restrains operations in the cosmos. Altars have voices. God's own throne is an altar Hebrews 4:16, Psalm 89:14

   There is a threshold of dominion you can't cross without a spirit connection. When a man rises beyond it, a spirit entity, demonic or divine, is assisting him

   Acts 10:38 The first part is why the second part works. Without it, he went about doing good confuses you

   A demon spirit empowered a young girl Acts 16:16-18. Superhuman prophetic accuracy. Men made a business of her.

   She cried that these are servants of the living God. Was she lying? It was a familiar spirit. Discernment

   When Satan's fight fails he seeks alliance. She wanted fraternity with the apostles so that if they left she would be there. He was protecting the continuity of his own deception

   On the third day Paul was grieved and commanded the spirit out in Jesus' name. That is higher power. That is dominion

   Priesthood powers kingship. What your altar allows will find expression in your life. What it disallows will too.

   A poor altar that allows curses and yokes becomes your lot. An altar that permits favor becomes your lot

   Your altar is the summation of the ordinances that keep you in intimacy with God: prayer, the word, consecration, the fear of God, worship, love for Jesus, prioritizing Jesus

   For loving Jesus and going the extra mile, there are things God himself will not allow the devil to do to you

2. The law of vision

   Proverbs 29:18

   Vision is seeing things as they ought to be, not as they are, with the determination to bring that picture to manifestation. The prophetic picture of your tomorrow

   What vision does:

   • Gives you focus
   • Gives you the legitimacy to prune your activities and say no, to men good or bad, to situations, to ideas
   • Converges your energy, resources and attention. The visionless diverge them

   Jesus made his manifesto clear Isaiah 61, Luke 4:18-21. Also Hebrews 10:7

   Many believers can't command results because they are visionless. Vision must be broken into goals and achievable tasks. The Koinonia believer is the vision. The teaching is part of the process

   Without vision, life allocates any project to you. I think I should go to school. Then get married. Then get a job.

   What is your life about? This is how we found it, let's keep going

   Visionary people are too busy to die. The legitimacy for longevity is a vision before you, the reason you wake up and sleep late. Without it you become a victim of anything

   • Everything that keeps me visionless, by the Holy Spirit, give way right now.

   The easiest way to build a vision is to serve in the house of God. It puts you in a structure of accountability that trains your mind towards goal setting

   Your assignment: define why you wake up. Plan your day. Don't enter a day you did not plan. It is irresponsibility.

   Plan at the end of the day for the next, or early in the morning

   Set spiritual, mental development, health and financial goals.

   The grace to be visionary, receive it. You will have the legitimacy through vision to politely say no.

   Vision has a side effect: the mediocre will misunderstand you for a season. They will call it pride. Better they misunderstand you and you win and help them later than all fail together

   May God drive time wasters from your life. Destiny is a function of time. If you can't prioritize time you will fail Psalm 90:12

3. The law of the mind, the law of mental transformation

   Your physical reality will eventually be a summation of your belief system

   Mark 16:17 The signs of failure follow a person with the mentality of a failure

   You don't drive signs away by asking them to go. You change your belief and the signs go. Victory, joy, influence, prosperity, the anointing are signs too

   Philippians 2:5 Jesus had the Holy Ghost but also a certain way he thought

   Mindsets are gateways, channels in the spirit. They allow the Holy Ghost to flow in and demon spirits to flow in.

   The official access point to your destiny is your mindset. What it agrees on becomes your reality

   Ephesians 3:20 Ask or think, not just ask. Your asking says lift me, your thinking can say I'm not interested in going up. Your mindset is a prayer warrior petitioning on behalf of your destiny

   Ignorance is not a demon. You don't cast it out. You invest in transformative knowledge

   Belief systems you must have to win:

   • The opinions of men are cheap. Be led by convictions
   • Mentorship shortens the distance between you and your destiny
   • Conqueror identity Romans 8:37
   • A small beginning does not limit your end Job 8:7
   • Another man's wish for your life cannot happen without your permission
   • It is written can conquer. Whatever vision anyone sees about your life, you can use the word to conquer it if it is against scripture

   So you don't fear prophetic words. Someone says you die tomorrow.

   Congratulations for the accuracy of your vision, but there is a word that creates a garrison Psalm 91:16, Psalm 5:12.

   Manner Water: Violent Spiritual Tactics To Defeat Violent Problems

   by Dr. D.K. Olukoya

   arrow_forward

   That's why Koinonia will not be empty

   Transformation starts with the arrival of correct information. You can't contend for transformation in the presence of error. The problem is not faith.

   You can believe a lie. The problem is the information the faith was built on

   If things aren't working, it is largely a product of what you believed yesterday. Be patient.

   The pain of now reflects the wrong believing of yesterday. Your tomorrow can't be like today because this process is correcting it

   I believe I am a victor. I believe I am a winner. I believe greatness is within me.

   When Satan frustrates your mind, say, I'm changing from glory to glory 2 Corinthians 3:18. That hateful person, that lazy person, that prayerless person is changing from glory to glory

   Success is not what you pursue. It is what you attract by who you are becoming. Your becoming is greater than your doing.

   Everything is built twice, first in the spirit through your mentality, then physically. Destroy the physical and it is still built here. Build victory, your tomorrow, great children, a great spouse, a great ministry here

4. The law of process

   Mark 4:28 Want the full corn from infancy and you will be frustrated

   We are obsessed with double and triple portions. I'm not against that, but if your success doesn't rest on capacity it becomes a weight, not a blessing. You collapse under the weight of your amateurism

   Exodus 23:25-30 It sounds like it happens overnight. Watch how: little by little Exodus 23:30. Little doesn't mean small. It means phase by phase

   Don't hurry seasons. Every season has a lesson that qualifies you for the next. Hurry and you miss exams, fail and abort the seasons ahead

   Process prepares you to carry the weight of every new level without collapsing. It gives wisdom and experience to manage the weight of success.

   Trust God for speed but don't over-hurry. The realm you are in a hurry to exit today you will miss tomorrow. Every higher realm has greater responsibility

   Thank God for where you are while aspiring. Use the weapon of gratitude. At any level you are somebody's prayer point.

   This is not my best but I'm grateful for where I am. This is not the best of Koinonia but thank God for where we are.

   Many have eaten their 10 years through falsehood and the remaining 10 have nothing to eat.

   Wear tomorrow's cloth today and you will be naked tomorrow. Eat tomorrow's bread today and you will be hungry tomorrow

   Friends can pressure you to live a life you can't fund emotionally, spiritually or financially. School fees unpaid and someone says organize a thanksgiving party.

   If your finances and relationships can't take you there, stay back. That delay is not demons. It is God's mercy. That car would be a curse because you can't maintain it

   Every level has its dynamics. There are heights God won't take you to until you understand warfare, because battles greet you when you arrive

   Some battles are for offices, not persons. Someone is insulted and steps out. The next person sits and gets bashed.

   When they say preachers are stupid, am I stupid? No. But am I a preacher? Yes

   Through process your skin would be like steel. You would have read the lives of those ahead and known it is a necessary cross to carry

5. The law of faith

   You must know how to make the word manifest. There is a spirit realm and a physical realm. Understand the provisions in Christ and the participatory conditions for manifesting them

   Faith is the obedient action you take as proof you believe God and the integrity of his word. That action commits God to perform Romans 1:17

   You can't manifest faith in ignorance. Understand:

   • The promises of God
   • The will of God
   • How to engage those promises as prescribed by scripture

   Know how to obtain results and build testimonies through faith. Listen to The School of Faith and The Other Side of Faith

6. The law of value and competence

   Proverbs 22:29

   Your value and contribution determine your reward, influence and fulfillment

   Valuable means having the spiritual and intellectual wherewithal to meet needs, solve problems, answer questions and provide solutions. Results are value and productivity dependent. Be a master of your craft: preacher, businessman, professional

   How do you know you are valuable? Who follows you, pursues you, rewards you without seeing it as an inconvenience Mark 1:37

   At every point you are either a solution or part of the problem. I decided I would not only be anointed, I would be valuable to my world

   It demands skill, training, upgrading your understanding, unlearning and relearning

   Can nations' governments call you? When they ask who caused it, may nobody think of you.

   Read your Bible, take short courses, get the certification. Be valuable so you are not ashamed at the corridors of destiny

   Your intelligence defends the program of God, not only your destiny. Spirituality should not produce dull people

   It is easy to be rewarded if you forget money and focus on value. We bring little value and pray favor on it. Preachers touch that theology.

   An incompetent pilot says there's favor on my life but I'm still a student in aviation. Will you enter that plane? A 200 level student offers surgery because you have no money

   I receive grace to be valuable, productive and competent.

   Extreme value heals you from competition. You celebrate others without feeling insulted because there is space for you among the great. Incompetence creates envy, jealousy and anger.

   • The grace to be diligent, to burn the midnight candle, to not be satisfied with mediocrity.
   • The grace to be a master of my craft: an exceptional doctor, engineer, pastor, prayer warrior, entrepreneur, public speaker.
   • As I embrace competence, let shame and competitive jealousy be far from my life.

7. The law of relationships, the law of honor (the law of access)

   1 Samuel 2:30, 1 Peter 2:17

   Honor is a subset of the law of relationships and the master key to every dimension

   Honor is the discerning, recognizing, celebrating and rewarding of men for their distinctive uniqueness and value

   Second only to the law of encounter and perhaps transformation, it is the greatest law I have learned for opening doors.

   All challenges revolve around dishonor: to God, to men, to principles. Honor is a stream of income.

   Honor includes disagreeing with decency. Where I come from we speak our mind. They threw you out of the insurance company, the police job, the church admin position.

   All blessings come from God through men to men. If you don't know how to engage the men who are the midwives prophetically, you may remain a failure.

   Through honor you can access the gate of a man's heart overnight. See Disgrace Called Favor

   Relationships are bridges and currencies. They buy what money can buy and what money can't. Who likes you matters.

   Who hates you doesn't. To be fruitful is to be relational, and the principal ingredient is honor

   Where you can't bring value, bring honor and gratitude. It equalizes your relevance with gatekeepers you can add nothing to. Some are a delightsome luggage.

   Adaptation is proof of honor. You can't want the great to relate with you on your terms

   Don't join conversations you don't qualify for just because you have access. Drivers, chefs, aides: they brought you for what you do.

   When you are in a realm you didn't get to by merit, allow that realm to usher you to speak

   Illustration: Joseph before Pharaoh

   Imagine Joseph said, let me tell you what I've gone through first. Potiphar's wife blackmailed me, set me free before we talk dreams. Pharaoh: go back to prison

   Joseph kept quiet like a dummy until Pharaoh was done. Then he spoke an answer of peace Genesis 41:16. The power of a soft answer Proverbs 15:1. Nobody else had interpreted the dream

   The way you behave in prison is not how you behave in the palace.

   You can't be a power broker in the kingdom without understanding the ordinances of royalty: conversations, the law of words, emotional management

   Not everything you know should be said before superiors. If you sound better than the one who wants to lift you, they will fight you. Say what is necessary and let yourself rise

   Silent people with an energy of intelligence are wise.

   When the mic is handed to them, the heart will indite a good matter Psalm 45:1.

   Proverbs 15:23 This applies to husband and wife, superior and subordinate

   I receive grace to walk the path of honor.

   Don't come to church and dishonor people. You may be postponing 10 years of your life without knowing.

8. The law of seasons

   Life is governed by times and seasons. You can't control seasons but you can have an all-weather strategy that leaves you a victor in all of them, in plenty or in lack

   No season remains the same. See The Law of Seasons

9. The law of service

   The pathway to greatness. The greatest measure of greatness is impact through service, motivated by love for Jesus and a desire to bless humanity. This is how people access graces and superior destiny doors open

   Serve beyond a desire to make a name. Those who focus on making a name never make one. Those who forget reputation and focus on service do

   Jesus defined leadership as the one willing to serve, not lord. The greatest form of leadership is self leadership, mastery of emotions. Next is servant leadership

10. The law of seed time and harvest

    Everything is a seed. Kindness, wickedness, hate, love. The spirit, mind and heart are soil

    Galatians 6:7 Your life today is a harvest of the seeds you sowed, consciously or unconsciously. Sown wrong seeds? Kill them by sowing another

Commanding results is not luck

Seed time and harvest, honor and priesthood alone would surprise you. Add mental transformation, competence and value. This is how Koinonia got where it got to, and many businesses here

As simple as they are, these laws are destiny defining. The greatest way up is to serve your way up.

Not wish, pray, gossip, kill or fight your way up. If you have never served you can't lead. Leadership is service

These are not all the laws. There are others like humility, the reward system of the kingdom, the power of attitude

Everything in this ministry is by grace and mercy.

But broken down, it is an interplay of these laws: the land, what we do, the resources, the influence, the attention of a generation.

Not luck, not chance

To know what to do does not mean you have the power to do it.

To know honor is a requirement for greatness does not mean you can demonstrate it. Knowing is one thing, obtaining the power to do it is another

The relationship is the initiation

Greatness and dominion rest on two pillars, relationship and laws. The relationship is the initiation

The laws only work fully for those in Christ. Those outside may seem to walk them, but can't get the full benefits until they connect to the one who initiated and powers them

Isaiah 54:17
