Overflowing Life Conference Day 5, June 2025 by Apostle Joshua Selman: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

When God's word comes, your healing is coming. Your deliverance is coming. Your breakthrough is coming. The manifestation of prophecies is happening for you

Pay attention and listen so we do not make the mistake of Jacob Genesis 28:16

The overflowing life

John 10:10

The Amplified rendition says to overflowing

John 7:38 to John 7:39

God has a goal for every believer

God has an expectation and an intent for you as far as his divine program and eternal purposes are concerned

Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 1:5

No one on earth, more so a believer in Christ, is without a prophetic destiny and without preparation for the quality of life you were designed to live

God put everything in place so that while you spend your life serving his purposes you enjoy a life of victory, a life of dominion and a life of excellence

God says: while you spend your life turning many to righteousness and drawing many to the cross, I do not want you to serve my purposes living a defeated life

Your life is to be the first sermon that draws many. You will not propose to the nations a God and a life whose experience cannot be captured in your life

It is the will of God for you to live in victory, an excelling life, a glorious life.

If you do not believe it you cannot receive the fullness of what has come with that life

God would not place you on the earth to live a defeated life, a life of failure, a life of perpetual pain. How does that bring glory to him?

There are seasons where believers can be persecuted and martyred, seasons where we go through fire and storms. But by our pre-ordination we were designed for a life of victory, glory and excellence

Confess: I believe in the victorious life. I believe in a life of dominion. I believe in the overflowing life. I believe in a glorious life

If you don't believe this, this teaching cannot profit you Psalm 78:41

Many believers are yet to come to terms with the fact that the goodness of God is for their profiting.

The first revelation of God's glory to Moses was his goodness Exodus 33:18 to Exodus 33:19

To be good is to have no evil in you. You intend good for any individual. God is a good God

Don't get so used to your pain that you let the devil manipulate it into making you believe God wants you to perpetually live in defeat, sickness, poverty and failure

My first assignment for you is to bring you to a point where you are convinced beyond any shadow of doubt

It is God's will for you to live a life of dominion and victory while serving his purposes.

He wants you to taste of what it means to be exalted to the God class

3 gifts you receive when you are born again

1. The forgiveness of sin

   Ephesians 1:7

2. The gift of righteousness

   Romans 5:17

   Righteousness is the nature of God that causes a man to stand before the Father's presence without guilt, without inferiority and without a sense of condemnation

   There is a relationship between your dominion and the consciousness of this gift

3. Life, the abundant life

   John 10:10, John 3:16, 1 John 5:11

   Confess: I have life. I have abundant life. The devil did not hear you. Sickness and disease did not hear you. Curses and yokes did not hear you. Failure and defeat are yet to hear you

   The greatest of the three gifts is life

Zoe, life beyond mere existence

Abundant life is the Greek word Zoe. It does not just talk about longevity of existence

It is the planting of another life upon the biological life you have, and with it comes an upgrade. The quality of your life is upgraded to the God class

A divine gift given to an ordinary man which, if understood and fully deployed, can upgrade the recipient regardless of background or limitation, to a level where men see the excellency of your result and must glorify God

Illustration: the phone

I can give you a phone with all its capabilities: browsing, speed, memory, battery. You can receive it and not know how to maximize it

Two people use the same model, same color, bought from the same person. One uses it in a way that makes you want that phone.

The other uses it in a way that makes the manufacturer look like a scammer

Many believers have received the forgiveness of sin, the gift of righteousness and the life of God.

But if you learn God through the template of their life, they will make you hate God, church, Christianity and the Bible

Nothing around their life shows that Zoe is an advantage. No favor, no blessing, no grace, no consecration, no power, no wisdom. No difference from the unbeliever

The manifestation of the glory of God on the earth depends on the degree to which the saints reveal the excellency of God.

That is the degree to which creation will acknowledge his might and glorify him Matthew 5:16

Illustration: the military badge

A lieutenant colonel receiving the badge of a brigadier general. His size, voice and looks may not change.

But the quality of his life and the possibilities he can afford change by reason of the badge

If he said "go" yesterday and you could not go because of the limits of his rank, he says "go" tomorrow and you have to go.

The man who spoke yesterday was a lieutenant colonel, the man speaking today is a general

The centurion understood this Matthew 8:9. He understood rank and authority, and Jesus was very impressed

Most believers do not know that when you confess the lordship of Jesus, the life of God confers upon you an upgrade like that of a military person.

You step into possibilities you could not afford before you received eternal life

Imagine a man wearing the regalia of a general, legitimately robed, harassed on the road

Lower ranked soldiers ask "Sir, do you need any help?" and he says "I'm not even aware that I can send you."

This is the state of many believers

If the nations learn God through the lens of our Christian experience it does not make God marketable. Nobody wants to be part of a weak God, a defeated God

The idea of Jesus we have sold the nations is why evangelism is slow. We have not sold a powerful God, a God that lifts men and changes their story.

We sing it but we don't show it

We sing Psalm 37:25 and we are begging while we are singing

We say "I shall not die" but untimely death is shredding families. We know the grace of our Lord Jesus 2 Corinthians 8:9 and you cannot see the expression of that

The anointing has been expressed to us as the wisdom of God, but our decisions are inferior.

We claim we made the decision in partnership with the Holy Spirit and the outcome shows the intelligence of God was not part of it

Most of the people here are born again but we cannot see the fullness of that life find expression

When the disciples healed the man at the Gate Beautiful, something had been altered. This is not how they were Acts 4:13

Most believers have only consoled themselves with the morality of Christianity: I don't bribe, I don't cheat, I'm a child of God. That is wonderful, but that is not all Jesus died for.

Moral excellence is one side

How about the victory and the grace of God? Look at him turning water to wine. Look at him speaking and they saw the wisdom of God.

Why is that wisdom not manifested in our place of work while unbelievers are promoted and rising and we get angry?

They wonder why we pray in tongues but the wisdom that should come from that prayer is not translated in the marketplace

Having it is not enough, you must deploy it

Whether you fail or live a defeated life does not change the fact that the life of God is an indomitable life, embedded with victory

Illustration: the ATM card

I can give you an ATM card out of compassion, though you didn't deserve it, and put 10 million naira in it. 10 million naira can pay rent, buy groceries, even some kind of car

You can live a defeated life, be depressed, go to hospital, and yet have that card. Does that make me a liar? Did I really give you the card? Is there money inside?

Am I faithful? But my faithfulness is not demonstrated in your life

If someone says "what kind of wicked man watches his brother go through this?", I say: I gave him the card. Look at his hand. Have you checked what is there?

Why are you not using it? "Well, I know I have it." No, having it is not enough. You must deploy it

It is when men see the ability of God at work in your life that they glorify God. It is time to move past the consciousness of having it to releasing it

The overflowing life is not just for the possessors of the life of God. It is for those who have mastered the dynamics of releasing the power, wisdom, grace and victory embedded in that life

Illustration: the perfume

When you buy perfume they don't gather air that has the perfume and give it to you. It is trapped in a bottle. If you keep the bottle unopened, who can know its potential?

When you wear that perfume and someone comes close, that is where the creativity of the manufacturer is seen

Too many professing Christians misrepresent the love and power of God.

If the nations use your life like a television to learn God, at the end they have a legitimate right to hate God, because your life does not capture the love and wisdom the Bible speaks about.

It turns God into a fraud

It is easy for people to be trapped in demonic things because of the results that come from them. Someone goes to a herbalist.

As ugly as the process is, by the next day you see a similitude of favor and open doors in his life

You laugh at him for a while. But when you suffer so much and keep seeing that person excel, one day you will say "should I not try this?" Nobody rejects results indefinitely

This is the reason he gave us the Holy Ghost. He knows the man he created.

If the only thing you tell creation is "Jesus saves, Jesus loves you" and you cannot demonstrate the validity of that life, we will keep shouting for nothing

Go across Europe, North America and South America. There is a whole generation corporately rejecting Jesus because apps have given them more certainty and evidence than what we propose on the pulpit.

They can ask an app any question and it delivers a similitude of wisdom. At least it produces results for them

If you love Jesus and want to see the nations serve him, God is counting on your life to produce victory, power, wisdom and grace that will defeat principalities and powers

Ephesians 2:10

Workmanship: a product of his artistry and creativity

Ephesians 3:10

Principalities and powers will see the manifold wisdom of God demonstrated in and through the church, not by angels

The abundant overflowing life captures limitless possibilities: possibilities of divine wisdom, of favor, of supernatural power. Unassisted by God you cannot ordinarily manifest that quality of life

You were not just called to be a follower of a religion called Christianity. You have been called to demonstrate the reality of the life of God

Having the Zoe life does not necessarily translate into manifesting victory in experience. You can cry for the things that card can buy and not maximize it

Within the life you have received, empowered by the Spirit, is infinite wisdom. Wisdom you were not born with, beyond what school gives you.

Regardless of your background you can manifest a dimension of wisdom that dumbfounds principalities and powers. They said of Jesus "What wisdom is this?"

How about the favor of God? Laban looked at Jacob and said he had to consult by divination to know the reason for his success Genesis 30:27. Whatever he tried, Jacob's outcomes were the same

We say Isaiah 54:17 in church, but how many believers are still victims of curses? We profess it but we cannot show it. Yet Jesus has paid the price. The price has been paid

There should be a holy anger in you: this life you already have and the results you demonstrate do not match.

An annoyance within you saying "Father, it is time to step into the reality of that overflowing life"

My life changed when I understood the implication of what I received when I came to Jesus.

I thought I just received spirituality to be a Christian, until I found out I received a life that was indomitable and invincible

That life captures everything the word of God says it can deliver Deuteronomy 28:13. You carry the DNA already within that life.

You are compatible with greatness because the life that sponsors greatness is already in you

Nothing overflows until it is filled

The overflowing life is the Zoe life. But it is not the consciousness of possessing it that makes it overflowing

It is when the riches enshrined within that life are delivered through knowledge and begin to flow like a stream to others. Nothing overflows until it is first filled.

When it exceeds the capacity, it begins to flow

Why you must be in Christ

If you are not born again you do not have legitimate ground for being victorious in Christ. Anything that happens to you outside Christ, Satan has a right to defend why he brought it

The only basis for querying Satan is that you are in Christ. If Satan attacks you as an unbeliever, he has the power to do it.

The only immunity any human has against the assaults of Satan is to willfully denounce your partnership with him by acknowledging the lordship of Christ

At that point you can say "Satan, there is no legitimate ground for you to afflict this family". Even if his grandfather served the devil, the blood of the eternal covenant has covered it.

Someone else has died in his place

Whether it manifests as cancer, HIV or whatever, if you are not in Christ Satan has a legitimate right to buffet you, and it is not injustice.

If you have acknowledged his lordship, you have the basis for querying Satan. Resist the devil and heaven will back you

Illustration: the prisoner who was bailed

You cannot go into a cell and harass a prison warden because you like a man there. They are lawful captives, charged by a court

But if a judge passes a decree that the man is bailed for 100,000 and once paid he should not remain there, and the man is not aware

Someone must come and tell him: you don't have to be in prison again.

The judge has passed a verdict. Someone has bailed you out. You've been forgiven

That someone is the Lord Jesus. He has paid the price for your victory, your excellence and your rising to become an enviable star

I decree and declare: come out of that place of sickness. Come out of that place of defeat

Come out of that place where you are plagued by yokes, curses and mediocrity

I don't care the limitation of your father's house or your mother's house. By the blood of the eternal covenant, come out of it now in the name of Jesus

Peter in prison, a prophetic road map

Acts 12:1 to Acts 12:10

Herod killed James, saw that it pleased the Jews, and bound Peter, with a quaternion of soldiers, planning to kill him after the Passover. Prayer was offered by the church for him

Peter was sleeping while the angel came for his deliverance. The chains fell off on their own accord. He had no contribution. That is a type of salvation

But being free from the chains does not mean he was free from the prison. He would have died a prisoner.

The angel had to say "now that you are free from the chain, let me show you how to come out of the prison in experience"

Many believers are like Peter. Salvation has broken the chains. Your hands and feet are free, but you are still lying down in the prison

God sends angels as witnesses to signify his word to the church, to tell you that you should not be here again. Your grandfather was in that prison and died there.

Your father met him there and died there. They served the Lord all their lives and were conscious the chains were broken, but did not know the doors can also open

The church did not just pray for Peter's chain to be broken. They prayed that he would come out of that place

Someone has been in Christ for 10 years. The chain has been broken but the prison doors are still closed over you.

Nobody can glorify God that you are the first to be lifted by God to bring glory to God in that family

How the journey went

Peter was in prison because someone accused him. That is the assignment of Satan, the accuser of the brethren. Going out of prison is a type of salvation.

Part of the messianic assignment is to set prisoners free Isaiah 61:1

He was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with guards before the door. What bondage is worse than that?

Acts 12:7: the first thing that happened was light. Not a hammer, not a metal tool. Light shone in the prison. The arrival of light came before deliverance

The angel struck him on the side and raised him up: arise quickly. The chains did not fall until he was informed he had the power to arise. Peter believed it and the chains fell

If Peter had said "wow, I'm free, angel you can go", he would have been a free man in prison with liberty to walk around, but with the doors closed.

Like the three Hebrew boys whose chains were broken but who were still in the fire Daniel 3:25. He had to bring them out of the fire

Acts 12:8 to Acts 12:10

Gird yourself and bind your sandals. Cast your garment. Follow me. He went out and followed and did not even know it was an angel. He thought he was having a vision

They passed the first gate, then the second gate, then the iron gate that leads to the city. It opened of its own accord. He went out and went to the believers

Salvation is likened to the chains being broken from your hands. The overflowing life does not demand that you are just saved. You must demonstrate dominion and victory. I translate the gates into keys

3 keys that release the overflowing life

1. Access wisdom through the word of God

   If you do not encounter the wisdom of God you cannot manifest the overflowing life even though you possess it in Christ.

   If you are bankrupt of divine wisdom, the Zoe life will never manifest through you to the nations

   Wisdom here is not common sense. It is a compendium of every body of spiritual information allocated for your manifesting victory.

   An aggregate of every mystery and principle of the kingdom allotted to birth victory to the believer. The Bible also calls it marvelous light

   When you find a believer manifesting an indomitable life, it is not just because he is saved. It is because he has walked in partnership with the word of God and the Spirit of God

   Take two believers who are saved. One has taken advantage of the word through sacrifice and dedication to learn the wisdom of God. The qualities of their lives will be very different

   For one, the only reason you believe he got born again is that you saw him crying at an altar call. Nothing about his life shows he is saved.

   The other begins to tame life like you tame an animal. It is the wisdom of God

   Proverbs 4:7

   Jesus did not excel just because he was the Son of God Luke 2:52. Jesus sought wisdom before he sought power

   Most believers cannot manifest the overflowing life because they are in ignorance. They are sincere, consecrated, love Jesus and walk in holiness, but they are bankrupt of knowledge Hosea 4:6

   There is a body of spiritual information you must know to manifest victory.

   If you do not know there is such a thing as favor in the economy of God, you may never walk in it.

   If you do not know there is such a provision as restoration, you won't know how to pray and cry for it

   If you do not know by the word that the Lord is near to all who call upon him, you will not know how to call for help.

   If you do not know the power of praise, nobody has shown you that a man can dance his way to victory

   You can sit over a situation that should not defeat you, and because you don't know what mystery to engage, you perish there. Psalm 49:20

   The one who wins at releasing this life has gone beyond the initial salvation experience, through labor and sacrifice in learning the word in partnership with the Spirit, line upon line, through desire, separating himself and seeking wisdom

   There are things if you do not know, you cannot win. They are called the mysteries of the kingdom Matthew 13:11. When you get saved it does not guarantee that you will manifest victory

   Illustration: the new laptop

   If you buy the latest Apple laptop it does not guarantee efficiency. It only gives you potential for efficiency

   Illustration: the app update

   An application on your phone tells you an update is there. If you don't click on it, you miss the newer features. Cheap victory can be far from you because you are not aware

   Illustration: the tap

   A tap has potential to bring water but not under every condition. You must understand the dynamics of turning it. For sophisticated ones you must read the manual or ask an instructor.

   This software called eternal life is knowledge dependent, wisdom dependent, to release the riches there

   There is a body of knowledge that if you know it you will never be poor again. There are principles in the economy of heaven.

   There are principles that if you know them, no curse and no charm will ever touch you again.

   I am not just talking of being aware that you should be free. It is knowing how to walk out your salvation Philippians 2:12

   There are things that when you know them no man can reject you

   For instance Proverbs 22:29. It did not say a Yoruba man or a Hausa man or a Warri man. It said a man. He did not factor in his background

   Most believers are born again but have not taken the time, and many have not been mentored, to know that

   Your life is only reflecting what you do not know about God. Grace and peace are multiplied through knowledge 2 Peter 1:2

   There are two dimensions of grace:

   • Saving grace. You didn't do anything there
   • Enabling grace. That one depends on knowledge

   If you live a poor and defeated life it does not change the fact that God loves you and has prepared a life of greatness.

   If you live a life buffeted by demons, curses and yokes, remember the disciples wanted to cast out demons and the demons did not go. It did not mean demons cannot be cast out.

   They did not fulfill the spiritual condition

   One time an upgrade happened to Peter and his shadow healed the sick Acts 5:15. What changed? His body? His voice? There was a spiritual orientation, a body of knowledge

   A call to responsibility

   Go and camp around truth. Write down the areas of your life where the glory of God has not yet found expression. If it is your finances, write it.

   If it is your health, write it. Find the wisdom of God connected to releasing victory in that area

   January, you are sick, almost dying. You survived death by the edge of a thread. February, the spirit of death has come. Do you not see that the devil wants to kill you?

   Don't wait till you die. Go and find out what the wisdom of God is as far as longevity is concerned. A few:

   1. Choose life. The one who will live long is not the one who wishes but the one who declares Proverbs 18:21

      When I get up in the morning I won't say I'm dying. I can't partner with Satan to program death over my life

   2. Honor your father and your mother in the Lord Ephesians 6:2

      Not just biological parents but anyone worthy of being a parent, spiritually or not, whether they are right or wrong. There are consequences to doing otherwise

   3. Psalm 118:17 If I am not about soul winning and representing the purposes of God, I stand the risk of dying. Some people are too useful to God to be carried away by untimely death

   Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and said God, you are merciful, is it not the living that can praise you? And God changed his mind 2 Kings 20:1 to 2 Kings 20:6

   Stop blaming God for the negative things happening in your life. Take responsibility and say: I have received the software through the life of God, now it is time to access wisdom.

   Every gadget comes with a manual

   Someone humble enough to laboriously read it gets up with mastery and begins to operate that gadget

   1 John 5:12

   I have the Son, so I have eternal life

   Don't use spirituality to endorse irresponsibility. When people see results they say "he is lucky" or "God just decided to help him". Results have an explanation. You can replicate them

   We wrap everything up by saying "it is the grace of God" and you are right. But there is a human component to every result. If you are failing, take responsibility.

   The same Lord is rich unto all. What am I not doing?

   Why do people hate me? Even the devil is not hated by everybody. You need to understand the law of honor. You are dishonoring people somewhere, unconsciously. You don't have to be a wicked person

   I have many needs but they never come to pass. Why? Because you don't pray those needs. Mark 11:24 Not when you realize you need them, when you pray.

   You have a list of requests and you never pray them

   Philippians 4:6 You are crying about the rent. Have you told God? You are crying about your child. Have you told God? You told everybody but him

   Only prayer that is brought to God becomes answered Psalm 107

   To go past the first gate you must cry for wisdom. How to get wisdom James 1:5

   • Lord, wisdom. I need it. I need wisdom
   • There are many things I do not know. There is a body of knowledge allocated for my greatness
   • I am bankrupt of the requisite level of light, the wisdom that should bail me out
   • Even though my chains through salvation have been broken, I am still in the prison

   Evidence of divine wisdom

   There are three evidences of divine wisdom in a man's life. I will only give one

   One of the clearest proofs of wisdom is the superiority of your choices and decisions. You know the wisdom of God is at work in you by the kind and quality of choices you make

   Divine wisdom is an alteration upon your mind. The Holy Spirit breathes upon your thinking and makes you see life in a certain way, so as to make decisions that only lead to life

   Without divine wisdom your life will be full of experimentation. Your lifetime does not allow enough chances to create probabilities with your life. Some choices will take you 20 years backward before you start again

   So he says order my steps Psalm 119:133. You can make one predestiny choice.

   Those who have prayed in tongues from January till now are yet to make one decision that moves your life

   David asked "shall I pursue? shall I overtake?" He said pursue, and there was an instant result 1 Samuel 30:8. How to bring down Jericho? Don't use bows, they will kill you for nothing.

   I will give you the strategy. Go around Joshua 6

   It is impossible to have one month, two months with no evidential results, no predestiny results, when the wisdom of God is at work.

   Those who carry the wisdom of God are never stagnated, because life is determined by choices

   The vehicle that moves you into your tomorrow is your decisions. If you are in one place, you have been making decisions that are marking you down. This is called responsible Christianity.

   It is not just receive

   Most believers like receiving. They shout amen and go back, and with all the prophecy this year becomes like last year and the year before, because time does not change anything.

   The quality of your decisions and choices defines your tomorrow

2. Understand the dynamics of Bible faith

   This is the second gate. If you understand how to access wisdom, next you need to understand faith. The Bible says it four times Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38

   If you do not know how to live by faith your life is going to be hard and defeated.

   Provided you are in Christ, if you don't walk by faith you will lose whatever advantage you have. It is a guarantee

   1 John 5:4

   Hebrews 11:1 to Hebrews 11:3

   To walk by faith means to walk depending on the speakings of God. Matthew 4:4 Not some words. Every word

   The man who lives by faith is beyond a man who confesses the word. He has bound his life to live only by the integrity of God's word as the final opinion in all matters

   Many believers do not walk by faith because God's method is usually the last we consult. Every time a situation rises we use sense, logic, culture, some divination. When everything fails we turn to God.

   A total waste of time

   Two definitions of faith

   • Faith is the name given to your unshakable confidence in God's word and the integrity of his person
   • Faith is the name given to the action you take as proof that you believe God

   The believing is not faith. It is the action taken as proof that you believe God

   Matthew 14:28 to Matthew 14:29

   He never said "Peter, come". Whoever took the step was the one who believed God

   Illustration: the money in the pocket

   If I tell a man seated in front that I have money in my pocket and say "stand up and come and collect it"

   And he sits and says "Apostle, I believe you, you are a man of integrity", he is wasting his time.

   He is not manifesting faith

   The School Of Prayer (how Prayers Are Answered)

   by Apostle Joshua Selman

   arrow_forward

   He can keep shouting "I believe you" from 1999, 2000, 2001. After 10 years he will say "you are wicked, I believed". But I gave an instruction: if you believe, stand up and come

   God says the one who acts on my word is the one living by faith. Not the one who hears my word. Not the one who wants to act.

   Not the one who plans to act. The one who acts

   Believing is not faith. It is part of the process that leads to faith until you act. If he says fill the pots with water, the one who fills the pots is walking by faith.

   If he says stand up, take your bed and go, the one who stands up is the one with faith

   In one word, faith is obedience. No matter how you define faith, if it does not translate to obedience you didn't define it well

   Deuteronomy 28:1 to Deuteronomy 28:2

   They were his covenant people, but there were conditions. You can confess "I have the life of God" and still live a defeated life

   There is a confession component to faith, but confession alone is not faith. There is a believing component, but believing alone is not faith. The end point of faith is action.

   Obedience, not action in disobedience

   If God says go left and you go right, you acted but you did not act by faith. To act by faith means to act in keeping with the word of God

   The promises of God are released at the point of action, not at the point of desire, not at the point of confessing the word

   Proverbs 11:24 If you are greedy you are not just being economical. You are a practitioner of disobedience

   2 Corinthians 10:6

   Satan has no respect for many believers because they don't live by the word. We talk about prayer but we don't pray. We talk about giving but we don't give.

   We talk about loving the Lord with all our hearts but we don't love. We talk about learning the ways of God but don't engage it

   Joshua 1:8, the formula for success. Observe to do, not just observe to sing it, not just observe to say it

   The one who is not a giver will be poor. The one who is not diligent will be poor. The one who does not understand relationships will be poor.

   The one who does not acknowledge God as the giver of all things will be poor. The one who does not pray will not access power with God

   The one who does not give God the gift of time cannot become a mighty host of his presence

   "There are all kinds of curses and yokes in our family. Why would the devil leave me?" Complaining is not the formula for freedom. Have you taken time to resist him?

   Satan is a stubborn spirit. He does not leave because you are angry. He leaves because you obey the principle connected to establishing liberty

   Before the Bible says resist the devil, practice the first part James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:6.

   Let your life demonstrate the superiority of his governing authority. Then you can resist the devil

   Else you get the result of the sons of Sceva Acts 19:15

   Psalm 107:2 If you keep quiet and hope life will just work for you, no. You get up in the morning and after praying you understand you are a co-creator

   This is the day the Lord has made. I decree and declare God is stationing men to favor me. I am a king and a priest

   This year is an exceeding great year. I overflow in my finances. I overflow spiritually

   My cup runs over. There is no scarcity for me. The Lord is my light and my salvation

   Psalm 118:24, Psalm 23:5, Psalm 27:1

   Ecclesiastes 8:4 Don't call yourself a king if you don't speak. There is no dumb king, no deaf king. Kings release their authority not just through the scepter but through their words.

   Don't call yourself a king if you don't believe you have that authority

   This is a practitioner of the word. This is one living by faith

   You are a businessman. You don't just wear your suit and go to challenge people who bowed to the devil with curses and yokes, with only your certificate

   1 John 5:19

   Welcome to a world of wicked men

   You define your possibilities by faith

   Satan was not part of the making of my day. I don't expect to see his finger in my day. The Lord made my day. Everything God made he saw that it was good Genesis 1:31.

   If he makes my life, my Sunday, my business, it should be good

   Glory to glory by the power of God. Isaiah 60:3 I don't expect any nation to reject me. I am an ambassador. I represent the government of heaven.

   I have the immunity of the government that sent me. This is not pride, it is confidence

   Don't sit back wanting someone to pilot your life for you. Kill the excuses. "If my father or mother was serious..." Say: I am a recipient of the life of God.

   I begin to release that life right now

   You don't have a job, but you have your mouth. Start by speaking. Start by reading books. Start by praying. Start by investing. Start somewhere

   Genesis 13:14 God told Abraham to lift up his eyes from where he was, not from where he wanted to go. From that one room, lift your eyes.

   Your feet cannot get there but your thinking can. Use the mind of the Spirit. See a great destiny

   You are in one room but see yourself an estate owner who loves the Lord. Your mother is frying food by the street. See that one day in our lifetime you will build that.

   I can fail alone but me and God cannot fail together. He is my senior partner

   If you keep quiet and keep getting angry at government and say "they burned down my business", shove that off and say: I have an overflowing life.

   I have lost everything but from where I am I can start again

   One of the most beautiful words in the Bible is the word again. Again means you can come again Micah 7:8

   I know my last year was not the best, but I still have eternal life. It is an overflowing life and I can start again

   I will start with prayer. I will start with reading. I will submit to mentorship. I will buy books. I will burn the candle

   Keep laughing while I grow. Keep laughing while God helps me. Soon my life will be Ebenezer, the one who has been helped by God

   1 Samuel 7:12

   I am speaking to a mighty preacher still hiding like Gideon Judges 6:11. To an apostle still hiding. To a prophet. To a businessman ordained for transcontinental transactions. To leaders still hiding like Peter.

   Don't frustrate the life of God

   I am speaking to someone God anointed as a psalmist. We are still waiting for your songs. You have not reached into the Psalms of the Spirit

   I am speaking to someone, no one has risen in your family, they serve idols. You came to church, yet there is no difference. Don't bring shame and reproach to the name of the Lord

   Faith is currency. It can buy possibilities in the spirit

   Numbers 23:19

   If he has said it and you can believe him and commit by obedience, he will deliver

   To the sister whose whole family has had marriages destroyed: it will not end this way. It can change from you. Don't let naysayers confuse or frustrate you.

   You can fail as a person but you and the God of heaven cannot fail as a team

   There is eternal life within your spirit. It will only be released by faith

   I impart faith upon your spirit. Bible faith. Something will burst open in your spirit

   Like fire coming upon you, burning every limitation

   You are a woman, but you are a warrior. There is power within your spirit. There are those carrying the strength of 10 people as one person

   I release that grace upon you. Let it be activated. Let it be stirred up by the anointing of the Spirit

   I see an overflowing river, like Ezekiel 47, fire and water together. There is a quickening of the Spirit of God

   The first key is access to wisdom, a compendium of the body of spiritual information allotted for manifesting the victory of the saints. The second is understanding the dynamics of Bible faith

   Your life is anchored upon the integrity of God and his word.

   You demonstrate that belief by first comprehending the promises of God, then understanding the conditions connected to the promises, then obtaining the enabling grace to obey, and to obey thoroughly

3. The anointing, the power of God

   John 7:38

   Luke 2:52

   Power is not mentioned. In as much as he had wisdom there were no signs and wonders. There were systems but not results

   The man full of wisdom, stature and favor knew that was not all. He came to John to be baptized.

   As he came out of the waters the heavens opened and the Holy Ghost came in the likeness of a dove and rested upon him Matthew 3:13 to Matthew 3:17

   He had wisdom, he understood the dynamics of faith, and when power came, then God spoke: this is my beloved son.

   Not just the one I begot but the one who has accessed wisdom, learned to live by faith and now received power

   Acts 10:38

   With power, in addition to wisdom, he went about.

   He didn't go about just because he had wisdom or because he walked by faith

   After mentoring the disciples he said you have all the information you need, but if you carry information around the world you will still be disappointed.

   It is painful to know what should be and not have the wherewithal to demonstrate it

   It is painful to know I should not be sick but the power to remain healthy is not there.

   Painful to know my brother should not be oppressed but the power to bring liberation is not there. Luke 24:49

   Acts 1:8

   Micah 3:8 I am not just full of wisdom, not just full of faith. I am full of power

   Acts 4:33

   Psalm 66:3

   Psalm 63:1 to Psalm 63:2: to see your power, not just your wisdom

   Jeremiah 32:17

   In this world the language of dominion is power. Matthew 11:12 The violent are the spiritually insistent

   Just because God said you are the head does not mean Satan will fold his arms and watch you become the head. It will take the power of the Holy Spirit

   The angel and Mary

   Luke 1:34 to Luke 1:35

   The angel tells Mary she will have a child without a man, outside the normal process of delivery. In other words, the way you know is not the only way there is.

   There is still another route in the spirit

   It is a man and a woman that should have a child, but when the Holy Ghost comes he can produce the same result.

   Don't get used to the way you know and feel that is the only way

   I know it takes 20 years of meaningfully investing slowly until you rise. That is correct, it is the normal way men rise. But how about by this time tomorrow?

   There is still a way in the spirit. Don't get used to the ways of men alone

   The man who was used only to the ways of men told the prophet "don't joke with me".

   He said you will see it with your eyes but you will not partake of it 2 Kings 7:2

   I don't teach laziness. I don't teach get rich quick. I don't teach irresponsibility. But the moment you introduce power into the equation of a man's destiny, be careful what you say.

   You can tell that man "you will not rise". But don't say it when power is there

   When power comes into the equation, the calculation changes. 1 plus 1 plus power is not 2.

   It is whatever God places there. 1 plus 1 plus the power of the Holy Ghost can equal 10 years in one day

   Mary was not in doubt. It is not "I know that God does not lie, but now I'm confused". How will this business rise? I lost 1 billion naira, I lost 100 million naira. I know I'm finished.

   How shall these things be?

   It sounds similar to the man at Bethesda who said there is no man to help me John 5:7. Truly, if there is no man in your life you are disadvantaged.

   But sometimes there can be a fourth man in the fire Daniel 3:25. He comes to stand with you

   The angel said: anytime it does not work the normal way, this is the explanation for the supernatural way. The Holy Ghost shall come upon you and the power of the Highest

   He can come upon a man. He can come upon a business. He can come upon a church, a family where no one has risen.

   He can come upon an ordinary frail young man only dreaming of being a great man of God, not even knowing how it will happen.

   You mean the sun, the moon and 11 stars will bow to me? Genesis 37:9

   How shall my music ministry go around the world when I don't have a sponsor and nobody knows the village I come from? The Holy Ghost shall come upon you

   In addition to wisdom, in addition to faith, do not ignore power. Don't get so intelligent that you are satisfied with wisdom. Don't get so charismatic that you pride yourself in faith alone.

   There is a power dimension. If that component is missing you will keep professing things that will never happen in your life

   There is no school that gives power. There is no institution that awards a degree called power. There is no training that translates to power.

   Power comes from God Psalm 62:11

• Lord, send power to my life. I desire an overflowing life
• I am ready to invest in wisdom. I am ready to commit myself to walking by faith. But power comes from you
• Let your power rest upon my life, my ministry, my child, my business
• The power of the Holy Ghost unlocks that river within me. Let it flow
• Father, grant me access to superior wisdom. Wisdom that confounds principalities and powers. Wisdom that delivers mighty works. Wisdom that comes through light, that the eyes of my understanding be enlightened
• By your word and by your Spirit, increase my faith. From no faith to little faith to great faith to exceeding great faith. Let me do much by faith
• Give me the capacity to trust you, the capacity to believe you, the depth of persuasion
• I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day
• I receive the power of the Holy Spirit in my life, my business, my ministry, my career, my family

Ephesians 1:18, 2 Timothy 1:12

Tired of an ordinary life as a man of God. Tired of doing business the ordinary way. Tired of parenting the ordinary way. You can get results by the Holy Ghost.

You can get results by the power of God. That river can be released within you and it will flow

Overflow must go beyond you

The word overflow means it must go beyond you. It is a commitment that self must die

The moment you hear overflow, it means you have gotten enough for yourself, and the more that is coming must extend to others. The first thing you need is to be filled.

When you are filled and God keeps bringing more power beyond what you need, you should know there is a world in need of it

You cannot talk the language of overflow when you are still thinking of yourself

Acts 1:8

Daniel 12:3

The moment you mention overflow, the word "my" ends. It is no longer my money, my gift, my talent. The language of overflow extends it to others.

John 7:38 It starts with you, fills you, then flows to your family and the nations

Nobody mentions overflow together with the word self. The word flow means it must leave where it initially is and go somewhere else

When I say overflow finances, I am saying: Lord, I commit myself Proverbs 11:24. Overflow wisdom is that which benefits me but flows through me to others.

Overflow influence is that which profits me but extends to become a blessing to your kingdom

A selfish man cannot experience overflow. A greedy man, one whose self is still alive, me, myself, only me. God cannot trust you with overflow.

Overflow anointing: you receive it for yourself but you become an instrument of mercy to others

• Father, who have you connected to my destiny for me to help?
• What soul, what family is depending on the anointing upon my life? If it depends on me, by grace I will not fail
• I intercede for those connected to my anointing, those connected to my business exploits

Salvation

John 14:6

John 1:12

Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23

John 3:16, John 3:17 God does not desire that the wicked perish but that he would find life, and that life is in his Son

I'm not asking if you were born to a pastor father or mother. I'm not asking if you've been a church person all your life, as commendable as that is.

A time must come in the life of everyone where you make this decision sincerely

You have a right to reject what I'm saying and say "I'm happy for this preacher, but I'm not interested"

You have trusted things of lesser value with your life. Why don't you give God a chance?

You see that things are not working in your life Proverbs 14:12

Those who came from a family of witchcraft or from irresponsible parents have blamed them.

Now you have a chance in Christ to redefine your life

Maybe no one in your family has been saved and you are the first. You are the answer to the prayer of your mother. Angels are also reapers. They draw people

This is between you and your maker. I don't condemn you. He is giving you a new beginning

Luke 9:26

• Lord Jesus, I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart
• I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe that you died for my sin and rose again for my justification
• Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my lord and my king
• I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life from today and for the rest of my life
• I am a child of God. I belong to Jesus. I go forward ever and backward never. Amen

• Father, thank you for these ones. Your word declares that as many as come to you, you will in no wise cast out
• These have come declaring your lordship over their lives. By the authority of scripture their sins are forgiven. I call them bona fide recipients of eternal life
• From today they begin to walk in the overflow. They live and manifest in experience the overflowing life
• I commend you to God and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified

John 6:37, Acts 20:32
