Empowered by Light

By the end of this conference you will manifest the reality of dominion. It will not just be something you are trying to confess into being. It will be your reality, your experience

Isaiah 60:1 to Isaiah 60:3

Two words to pick there: light and glory

May that be your testimony

Proverbs 4:18

I received this for myself

Foundation: victory and dominion

  1. It is God's desire for believers to walk in victory and dominion

    It is God's desire for you and I regardless of our current situations

    You have to believe it is God's desire.

    When you are not sure whether something is the will of God, it will affect your faith, because your faith must be predicated on your understanding that you are in the will of God

    To the degree you are confident you are in the will of God, you will be able to exercise your faith.

    Settle it once and for all that it is God's will for every one of us to walk in victory and in dominion

  2. Victory and dominion is our heritage in Christ

    Ephesians 1:3

    Paul was speaking to the church in Ephesus. He has blessed us, not will bless, not is about to bless. He has blessed us already

    Revelation 5:12, 2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57

    It is your heritage in Christ to walk in victory. It is your heritage in Christ to walk in dominion

  3. More and more is your destiny in Christ

    Proverbs 4:18

    To the believer in Christ, you should never have a better yesterday. No matter how great yesterday was, today and tomorrow should be by far better

    Although you have seen the glory of God now, the next time I see you it should be ever increasing

    Job 8:7

    The only part of your life that should be small is your beginning. Once it crosses the realm of beginning, smallness should die

    Haggai 2:3 and Haggai 2:9

    There is such a thing as former glory. That temple is not the building. It is you

Why desire victory and dominion

  1. It brings glory to God upon the earth

    Our dominion, our fruitfulness, our results, our being victorious is how God is glorified upon the earth

    As you listen, two things are happening to you. One is a dimension of knowledge coming through the gate of intellect. The other is a spirit communication, beyond the realm of words. You are being quickened

    Ezekiel 2:2

    He had no strength. It was the Spirit, not information, that set him on his feet

    So when we contend to walk in victory and manifest dominion in every area of life, it is not a carnal pursuit. There is a desire within us to see God glorified

    John 15:8, John 15:16, Matthew 5:13 to Matthew 5:16, Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 3:10

    We contend for ever increasing glory because that is how Jesus is glorified upon the earth

  2. It has the capacity to draw many to Jesus

    When we walk in victory, manifest dominion and live impactful Christian lives in ever increasing dimensions of glory, it has the power to draw many to Jesus

    John 4:28 to John 4:30

    The woman at the well had five husbands, and the sixth was not even her husband. She left her water pot and ran to the city. Her orientation changed immediately

    She gathered the entire city and said, come see a man. The compelling power of her witness drew people

    Mark 5:20

    The man from Gadara, when he was healed, brought the whole Decapolis to Jesus

    It matters that you produce results. Your results are evangelists. There is a sermon only results can preach

    When you walk in dominion, power, grace and ever increasing glory, your life becomes a living epistle 2 Corinthians 3:2. It preaches the mercy, grace, power and wisdom of God

Access does not mean possession

Every believer in Christ has access to the spiritual resources for walking in victory

Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3 to 2 Peter 1:4

Now pay attention. Access does not mean possession. In Christ you have access, but access does not mean manifestation

Illustration: the cheque

I can give you a cheque of 10 million naira. I have given you the potential to have 10 million naira under a certain condition, not under every condition.

There are conditions tied to it to turn the cheque to cash

An individual can hold on to that cheque for the rest of your life, in need of 1 million, whereas you have 10 million, and never maximize the potential

Not cashing that cheque misrepresents the benevolence of the giver. Anybody who has to learn about the giver using your life may hate the giver, thinking he is not a giver. Yet it has been given to you

You do not understand the law of conversion, the dynamics that turn spiritual realities

My assignment is to show you through the lens of scripture how to cause the word to become flesh. The word became wealth. The word became influence. The word became healing and health

There is a technology that converts spiritual realities to find expression here and now

What light means

Walking in the reality of dominion, victory and fruitfulness demands light. The non-negotiable requirement is that you must access light

Light means illumination. It means a functional knowledge of the truth, not a theoretical knowledge. Light also extends to mean wisdom and understanding

Genesis 1:5

You are not in your day when it is 12 noon. You are in your day when light comes. You can be in your afternoon chronologically and still be in the night

Weeping endures for as long as you are in your night Psalm 30:5.

If light has not come, even if it is 12:00, even if it is 2026, even if it is 2027, your day has not broken

Every time you are in darkness, bankrupt of light, bankrupt of illumination, you are in your night, whether it is noon chronologically. There are many people who are in their afternoon but they are in the night

The realm of the spirit does not recognize afternoon. It recognizes light or darkness. That is what defines day or night

Weeping can endure. Years do not take away the presence of darkness. Weeping has the power to continue in the life of a man until the daylight. But joy comes

It can be 12 midnight chronologically, but the realm of the spirit does not acknowledge it as darkness, because my light makes it day all the time. Day all season

The prize for dominion and glory is light. Light is a composite word: wisdom, functional knowledge, understanding

Psalm 82:5 to Psalm 82:7

Not just the preachers among you. Not just the missionaries. All of you are children of the Most High. The tragedy is in the next verse

If you do business in the night, you will most likely not prosper, because nobody can see you

There is beauty when there is light. I can see your colour, red or blue. If you switch on the light you do not have to change what you are wearing.

In darkness I cannot reward you or appreciate you, because the capacity to discern your difference has been taken away

Two people can do ministry. One is doing ministry in the day, one in the night. His John 3:16 can be received because he is speaking from a standpoint of light.

Another person can say John 3:16 but he will be left alone because he is ministering in the dark

Two people can do business, same formula, same strategy, but one is functioning in the day and another in the night

In this kingdom, dominion in any area is based on sufficient knowledge, not sentiments

What glory means

The glory of a thing represents all the characteristic features of that thing that make it worthy of admiration, that make it expensive or worthy of worship

The glory of my phone is in the features of the phone. That is what justifies it being expensive. To know the glory of my phone I read the manual, the speed and all of those things

So when you say the glory of God, you break down the dimensions of God and investigate the distinctive features that make him worthy of worship: his wisdom, his goodness, his power

Isaiah 60:1

Arise because your light has come, not because your light is there. It has always been there. But the day it comes to you, like he sent a word to Jacob Isaiah 9:8

Then the glory of the Lord is risen: the wisdom, the goodness, the power of the Lord. Your life becomes an effulgence of the limitless possibilities of the kingdom

Knowledge activates the life we have received

This Zoe life we have received, activating the riches embedded in that life is knowledge dependent

Ephesians 4:18

He is speaking to believers in Christ. How do you get alienated from the life of God? I have received the life of God but I am alienated from the profit of that experience because of blindness

I am in Christ but I may not experience the riches, the goodness and the potentials that came with the life I received, because releasing the riches in that Zoe life is dependent on knowledge. Light

This is why even after you are saved, you are ushered into the ministry of the teaching priest Jeremiah 3:15.

You have the life of Christ, but to activate it you need to be fed with knowledge and understanding

Illustration: brother A and brother B

Two believers, saved the same day, mentored under the same pastor. The quality of their lives, the manifestation of the glory of God through them, can be so far apart

The problem is not the life they received in Christ. It is the same life. The difference is their access to light

One has, through the sacrifice of alignment, discipline and diligence, taken advantage of the grace of God and contended for light.

The other is shadow boxing in assumptions, hoping superstitiously that things will change, like we say, one day go better

You define your possibilities when you pursue light

Lack of knowledge

Hosea 4:6

The first two words are very disturbing: my people. It did not say enemies. It did not say Assyrians, Hittites or Jebusites. My people, just like the Assyrians, are destroyed.

Their destiny seems to be the same although they are my people. The reason is lack of knowledge

Ephesians 1:16 to Ephesians 1:19

Paul prayed a prayer that seemed a burden in his heart over the church he so cherished, and they were already saved.

He talks of the Father of glory, then the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him

The eyes of your understanding, that is where the problem is. Amplified says flooded with light. To know is epignosis, to come into oneness with that information. Light

Light your candle

Luke 15:8 to Luke 15:10

She has treasure. She can lose one piece. The first way to remedy it is to light a candle

Every time there are losses, depletion and the bankruptcy of glory, you do not cry around. You do not whine around.

The believer's response to darkness, losses and pain, rather than giving excuses, is to light your candle in a hurry

Something about the absence of light authorized the loss in the first place. When the candle is lit, begin to sweep

You sweep through meditation and through desire Proverbs 18:1. The desire to excel, to maximize destiny, to reveal the fullness of God in you.

A man burning with that desire separates himself, then he seeks. That is like sweeping. You get light and you begin to search. There is a way out

Why is favor not working in my life? I am a child of God, favor should surround me as a shield Psalm 5:12. Since that is not the case, I take responsibility. I light my candle

Why am I buffeted by sickness and disease, in spite of the fact that it has been nailed to the cross? It does not seem to respect that reality in my life.

Rather than blaming, I light my candle

Luke 15:9

The whole business of losing treasure and finding it was predicated upon light

Every dimension of possibility in the kingdom has a requisite level of knowledge and intelligence.

Breakthrough, favor, dominion, influence, and all the spiritual possibilities purchased for us in Christ, depend on a certain kind of understanding and spiritual orientation to be activated

A requisite level of knowledge

We need deep enough knowledge. Not just knowledge. We know some things

1 Corinthians 8:2

Illustration: the exam

You do not need to score zero to fail the exam. You just need to not get the cut-off point. If the cut-off is 50 and you score 49, you did not get zero but you still failed

When they gather those who did not write the exam, those who got zero, and you, there is no difference. You passed some questions and failed others, but on average you are still right there

Illustration: the light

Your phone light has light but not enough to make this church bright.

If we put off all the lights and use a single phone light, we would notice there is light, but not enough to drive away darkness. The issue for some is intensity

At a stadium at night you would not even know it is night, because the light drives away darkness. The reason darkness still lingers is that the light you have does not have that intensity

Ecclesiastes 10:15

The fool here is not an insult. It is a description of a person who is bankrupt of light, wisdom, understanding. That person can be a believer

He knows there is a city. He is visionary enough to know there is a great tomorrow. But how to get there? Many of us have seen our tomorrow in our dreams.

We have seen a great destiny. You know you are ordained for grace and glory. But you need to know how to get there

If you do not know how to get to a place, the first thing that suffers is speed.

If I know the house is around this street but I do not exactly know which, I have to slow down because I am not sure, and I underutilize the potential of my car

If you know with certainty it is house number 107, you come with confidence

Light is connected to glory. Light is connected to dominion

You will not arise and shine just because 2026 is over. Next year can still look like last year. Next year does not change because of time.

It changes because of the introduction of light. The day your light comes, your night is turned to day

Truth releases every reality in Christ

Psalm 45:4

You ride prosperously upon your high places in life and destiny because of truth you have found, and truth has the power to make you free John 8:32

Divine health is a reality in Christ. But a certain kind of understanding releases it into your experience

Longevity is a reality in Christ. But it depends on a certain spiritual orientation

Supernatural finances and economic emancipation are part of God's program for you. But there is a level of intelligence and understanding that can make it your reality

Kingdom influence is God's ordination for you, but not under every condition. If you desire kingdom influence John 12:32, you must learn the dynamics of death to the flesh.

If you do not know how to die to the flesh, you cannot be trusted with the influence of the kingdom

The Bible calls this body of knowledge marvelous light 1 Peter 2:9. It is upon transacting this knowledge that the believer's dominion is established in experience

When you find certain people as though God isolated them and decided to magnify himself in their lives, it is not as though he loves them more than others.

The same Lord is rich unto all Romans 10:12. He does not love the ministers you admire more than he loves you

Our possibilities are not predicated only on the love of God. They are predicated upon the truth we know, the truth we understand and the truth we engage

Illustration: the iPhone

Brother A and brother B both have the original iPhone 18.

Watch them navigating their phones and you would almost think the phone of one is fake relative to the excellence of the other's navigation. He downloaded certain apps that did not come by default

There are certain apps you need to make that phone efficient. Whether you download them or not does not make your phone fake, but it will stop its efficiency

That iPhone is like your life. It is the same eternal life. But someone has pressed to download wisdom. Someone has pressed to download favor. Your life becomes remarkably efficient

Diligence

In his story you see an interplay of the principles of the kingdom

Within the jurisdiction of the grace and mercy of God, you see the workings of certain principles. The time invested in prayer, the time invested in consecration, the time invested in learning. Someone invested nine hours

Diligence is a mystery of the kingdom. It produces a certain kind of believer Proverbs 13:4, Proverbs 22:29

One believer is studying his Bible voraciously, learning, reading books, investing. Another is freelancing his spiritual knowledge. The same Lord is rich unto both of them.

But your outcomes in terms of the glory of God manifested through you will not be the same, because the foundation of his throne is righteousness and justice Psalm 89:14

As long as the earth remains Genesis 8:22, tomorrow is not a wish. Tomorrow is a harvest. If you do not sow towards tomorrow, you might not walk in the glory of God

Take advantage of the resources of God's mercy and grace to maximize your today for the sake of tomorrow

Many times believers like to give excuses. Because God is sovereign, we suddenly become irresponsible. He parted the Red Sea, if he wants to bless me he has the power.

We use all those scriptures to excuse our commitment

The Spirit and the bride say come Revelation 22:17. The Spirit can say come, but the bride must agree and say, I agree

The Spirit and the bride say be healed. The Spirit and the bride say a great tomorrow

The Holy Ghost is always desirous of blessing us, to see us manifest dominion. But the bride is not cooperating with the Spirit

Testimony

When I found this personally, I made up my mind that I will take advantage of the grace of God, and press for light, higher light, greater light.

I look at my life today and I can only say, to God be the glory. It is the mercy of God

But I submit to you by the authority of scripture, this life you see was programmed. Humility can stop you from telling the whole truth. It is an uncomfortable admission, but it is good to say it

It was the mercy and grace of God maximized, not just grace available, because grace can be abused

The glory of God being revealed in your life is not just tied to God's desire. He always desires it, but it is tied to light

God is a God of patterns

Every time God starts a process, he initiates it and then ties laws and principles around that process so that he does not repeat it again.

The knowledge of the laws and principles guarantees the continuity of that result

God made the first man and first woman and did not have to mould them again, because he programmed a law. We call it reproduction. Until Adam and Eve it was always through creation.

He programmed it such that even unbelievers can engage that law and procreate

God gave us a functional mind and programmed a principle around that mind. Your level of transformation can release a magnetic property within you that attracts possibilities consistent with your thoughts, superior or otherwise. That is a law

There are many other spiritual laws that altogether bring us into the experience of dominion

Leviticus 9:6

You want water to turn to wine, it is a possibility, but not under every condition

John 2:5

Mary told them the secret. The Savior is already there. His presence is there, but there are things he demands that you do. As soon as they were prepared to do, the instruction came

Fill six pots. Fetch it without verifying and take it to the ruler. Risk your life that much as proof that you trust me

The Bible says as they went, not as they tasted. As they went, fearful but obedient, suddenly water was turned to wine

John 2:10 and John 2:11

This beginning of miracles, he manifested his glory. There was an adherence to patterns. Patterns forerun the glory of God

Every time you see the glory of God revealed in the life of a pastor or an individual, it is because certain patterns have been kept.

By pattern I mean a spiritual precept, a mystery of the kingdom, spiritual principles

When you find a believer prospering financially with integrity, it is because the glory you now call wealth has answered to adherence to that pattern

When you find a church flourishing and increasing, the pastor will tell you it is the mercy of God.

But if you ask him to tell you the truth sincerely, albeit by grace, he will teach you that the result is a composite of anointing, leadership, administration, excellence, character, track record.

All of these together are the patterns connected to this glory

When you want to see the glory, you do not wish it. You do not claim it. You find the patterns, because a pattern does not care who engages it, once you engage it in truth

Illustration: the building

This exact building can be replicated anywhere. If you were blindfolded and carried there, you would think you were here, because of the plan, the architecture. That is called the pattern

Give it to any serious architect and he does not even need to be here to see it physically. He will replicate the result

It is the presence of patterns that makes God a just God.

When you complain, God, I did not choose where I came from, he says you can choose where you go, because there is a pattern that can correct that anomaly

Illustration: the musician

He plays effortlessly. That sound is the glory that follows that level of professionalism. It was not premeditated. He was not born that way

The same thing he is playing, I can play too. But as anointed as I am, I lack the knowledge of the pattern to produce that sound.

You can give me the gift and the gift will be useless to me, because the glory of that gift is released when the pattern is understood

Someone can give this musician a seed, or invite him somewhere. If he finds another pattern, the law of endorsement, it can increase his ministry

Endorsement is who is standing by you, not who you are standing by. Who you are standing by is alignment. Who is standing by you is endorsement

You can run to a rich man and stand by him. That is not endorsement. He did not come, you went

Illustration: the fashion designer and the chef

If I ask you, a professional in fashion, to dress pastor and his wife for one year, you will not be afraid, because you have studied enough

The same with a chef. You know what you can do. No fear

Not raising your hand does not mean you do not cook at home. It means we cannot bring you before the globe and say, cook

The one cooking at home still has uncertainty in his patterns. A chef has been so trained he can stand before the world and say, watch me. He has taken away failure through mastery

If we get this, we know God has given us the power in Christ to define and redefine our possibilities

It is the grace of God and the mercy of God. By reason of proximity of friendship, I can tell you, by the mercy of God, I can describe the dynamics

I know the things that were engaged. We took advantage of the grace of God and there were things put in place

When you build by patterns, you do not fear storms, because it is formidable

Illustration: replicated excellence

The excellence in a church is a pattern. It can be replicated in any other branch

Take KFC or Chick-fil-A in Lagos, Ghana, the UK or the US. Some of the staff have never met, yet their results are the same. Patterns

Medical consultants from different universities can meet for the first time in the surgery room and not doubt themselves. What is the secret? Not personality

If you are a consultant accredited by the medical council, then I trust you. Patterns

So many believers want to see the glory of God, but we are not contending for the light and the patterns connected to that glory

Each of these is an expression of God's glory, and there is a pattern connected to each:

  • Prosperity
  • Longevity
  • Influence
  • Favor
  • To be desired by a generation
  • Prospering in Abuja

Believe me, there is a pattern connected to it. The person giving to another person has relatives who have been begging him and he will not give them. So he is a giver, but not to everybody

Assignment: study the patterns

If it is the glory of God you desire to see in your life, your assignment is to begin to obtain grace from God and begin to study the patterns

Write a list of the areas where the glory of God is yet to manifest

In Christ all things are yours, but that does not mean all things will manifest in experience as yours. God still remains faithful whether your life captures the experience of those truths or not

The way to get them working is to become a diligent student and begin to study the patterns connected to the dimensions of glory you desire. If you get this, you have gotten my message. Patterns

Imagine how unwise it is to just kneel down and say, give me a double portion. There is a grace behind that. But the value of that grace is that it comes upon a heart that is prepared

The value of the anointing is that it comes upon a mind that has the requisite level of knowledge

This man can give me the gift of this bass. I can go home with it. You will expect me to produce his kind of result and I keep disappointing you. Time will not make me a master

But if I call him and say, my brother, this dimension of God's glory revealed from this instrument, is it possible that I make it my experience? The answer is yes

The next question will not be thank you and walk away. It will be, can you pass me through? Can I become a follower of those who have obtained Hebrews 6:12

Not everybody is in darkness. There are people who have found light. They have found their way. They function from an altitude in the spirit where they do not mind the presence of mountains

The idea of mountains is only a problem if you are walking on foot or by road. To the person flying 40,000 feet above sea level, a mountain can be a beautiful view.

He looks at the top of it while he flies over it. Someone else can be trapped right there

When you say mountains are stopping me, there are people who do not understand that language, because of growth, transformation, light

My approach to the Christian faith

I come to God in gratitude, because in Christ all things that pertain to my destiny to its fullest have been given to me

I do not ask if God has given. I know he has given. The assignment is not to make it happen. The assignment is to manifest it

I know that God is true and every man a liar

How God helps men

1 Chronicles 29:11 to 1 Chronicles 29:12

How does he make great? He shortens the distance between you and the knowledge of the pattern connected to that glory

The greatest way I know God helps men is to shorten the distance between you and the knowledge, the light component that connects to the glory you seek to see manifest. 3 ways he does that:

  1. The ministry of mercy
  2. The ministry of the teaching priest
  3. The ministry of the Holy Ghost

He reveals to you the things you should know 1 Corinthians 2:12. Revealed for our glory. Light comes for my glory

Why do I know I cannot fail in life? It is not empty talk. 2 reasons:

  1. It is a verdict from God to me, and I know God is true
  2. By mercy, he has shown me the pattern. I know the pattern that leads to the dimension of the glory of God that I desire

Every farmer who farms under normal conditions will have a harvest. That is the pattern connected to it

Psalm 100:2 to Psalm 100:4 is a pattern

Proverbs 11:24 is a pattern

Matthew 5:8. What is the secret to encounters? Consecration. It does not mean it is in heaven that he will reveal himself John 14:21

What is the secret to rising and coming before kings? Diligence, competence Proverbs 22:29

The gift discovered, the gift refined, can bring you before Pharaoh and even make you prime minister Proverbs 18:16

Prayer: I contend for light

  • Lord, I contend for light.
  • Thank you for where you have brought me. Thank you for the exceeding great and precious promises you have given me in Christ.
  • I cry for light. I have encompassed this mountain long enough.
  • There are higher dimensions of wealth, of the anointing, of grace, of kingdom exploit.
  • There is what I need to know. There is what I can know that sets me on course.

Deuteronomy 2:3, 2 Peter 1:4

Praying in the spirit

Having this information, you can begin to negotiate your possibilities as you pray in the spirit

The Holy Ghost searches what is in the mind of the Father. The Bible talks about the hidden wisdom of God 1 Corinthians 2:7 to 1 Corinthians 2:10

The word hidden is the word classified, bespoke for your destiny. There are things written in the library of the Father's mind

As you pray in the spirit, the Holy Ghost, on legal grounds, can reach into the mind of the Father, take the file, what is the strategy for your victory, and reveal it to you

The anointing and the servant

The anointing does not just rest upon you because you want it. There is a pattern that brings the anointing

Psalm 89:20

The anointing does not come on those who want to use God. It comes on those who have submitted

God can find David in 2021 but find his servant in 2026. I have found a man, but I am still looking for my servant.

I found a businessman, but I am still looking for my servant. I found the one who can buy and sell, but that is not the one I want to anoint.

I want the one who is my servant

Do not just say, God anoint me. Your assignment is to maintain the posture of a servant. A servant has lost the ability to say no. It is always yes, Lord, with my finances, my time, my energy

When God finds such a man, he anoints him

Prayer for revelation

For some it is finances, for some health, for some destiny. Pray:

  • Lord, reveal to me by your Spirit the patterns, the body of light, the illumination connected to that dimension of my glory.

Arise, shine, for the patterns are now known. Arise, shine, because you have found the way of the Spirit

Salvation belongs to the one who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb Revelation 7:10

Dominion belongs to the one who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb

My worship belongs to the one who sits on the throne

The grace that quickens, the grace that causes a man's understanding to be fruitful, the grace that brings a man to be of quick understanding, I release that grace upon you now

The capacity to comprehend the mysteries of the kingdom, receive that grace now

By the power of the Holy Spirit I activate your spirit. The eyes that see, the ears that hear, the hearts that comprehend, I impart that grace upon you

Let light arise from your spirit, the faculty of comprehension, that you will know the mysteries of the kingdom

You will understand the laws of the spirit. You will engage those laws and birth the glory of God in your life in experience

Message and grace

Whenever God sends a man, he sends him with a message and with a grace. Make sure you always receive both

You can receive the message and ignore the grace, or focus on the grace and not receive the message. What gives value to the grace is an understanding of the message

Matthew 10:7

It starts with saying. Once there is a saying, the power of God is present

Our possibilities in the kingdom are defined by 3 things. Number one, our encounters

The God you know, the God you have truly met, is the God you reveal to the world

Three things when you meet the anointing

Psalm 49:4. 1 Corinthians 14:10

There are many voices and none of them is without signification

You have come to the end of a season. There is a shift. You are stepping into another trajectory in the spirit

1 Samuel 10:2 to 1 Samuel 10:6

He told Saul that as you meet Samuel, three things will happen to you:

  1. The donkey that has been missing, no matter how long, because you encounter the anointing upon Samuel, will begin to go back home
  2. You will meet two men each holding three loaves of bread. They had something to do with their bread, but because of what is on you, they will salute you and give you provision for the journey
  3. You will come to the garrison of the Philistines and the hand of the Lord will come upon you and you will begin to prophesy. You will turn and become another man

It is time for the glory of the Lord to be revealed from your spirit to the nations, to your generation

An apostle is rising. A prophet is rising. A worshipper is rising. A prophetic service is rising. A businessman is rising

The Lord sets before you an open door and no man will be able to shut it

A thousand cubits is measured upon you in the spirit Ezekiel 47:3. Step into a new season, a new dimension. Let that river flow from the throne to your life

Fresh fire is coming upon your altar. There has been a distancing between you and the Holy Ghost. It is time to fan the embers of your secret place back to flames

Prayer life back to flames. The study of the word back to flames. Your consecration back to flames. Your passion for the things of God back to flames

There are deposits upon your spirit man. The Lord is releasing upon you the spirit of wisdom Proverbs 8:1

For the businessmen, the spirit of wisdom, witty inventions, superior dimensions of results by the power of the Holy Ghost

The grace for speed 1 Kings 18:46. I release that grace upon you. Let the remaining two months become like two years by the spirit of grace. Speed in business. Speed in ministry

Advancement

Exodus 14:15

Walking around is not advancement. It is motion, but I am in the same direction. Advancement demands that your next step becomes greater than your last step

Prophetic instructions sometimes may not make sense, but the simplicity of faith 2 Corinthians 11:3

It is a prophetic demonstration that the limits are broken. Advancement. The hand of God is upon you. I release grace upon this prophetic earth. Go forward. Businesses, go forward by the spirit of grace. Go forward forever

Strengthen your brethren

I know what it means to experience the favor of God. I know what it means to be marvelously helped by God

When God shows mercy like this, we do not go around bragging, but we go around releasing that grace

Luke 22:32

Do not leave them. When you are helped, when you have received mercy, strengthen your brethren. Let your strength not be a waste. Extend it to others

The Esther anointing

There are graces that distinguish us in this kingdom. One of them is the Esther anointing

Esther 2:15

She obtained favor in the eyes of all who looked, not only those who wanted to bless her.

Once you looked at Esther and made eye contact, something in you would not rest until you reached out to her

You would think that grace only worked for Hegai

Esther 2:17

Before she came there were already others in the list. But once Esther showed up, that looking still worked. As soon as the king saw her, it did not matter who else was there.

Favor: Jacob and Isaac Genesis 27:20

Isaac told Esau to go and make venison so that he would bless him. Jacob used a crafty behavior in partnership with his mother.

They made venison from the back of the house and he wore a skin like that of Esau and came to meet blind Isaac

Isaac said, how come you have got it so quickly? By the natural course of things you should not have returned with that venison by now

According to the natural process, you cannot just build, buy a car, be established. Something must have happened. You mean I sent you and you are back?

Even though he was lying, he revealed a principle. He said, because God has brought it to me. So how come your two months was like two years?

Because I found favor with God, and what others were looking for he brought to me

The Esther anointing. The grace that makes for favor with men, favor with systems. Unusual kindness. Unusual access. Unusual acceptance. Receive it

Salvation and rededication

It is impossible to have a crowd of believers gathered in the name of the Lord without at least one person sent by God. The Lord added daily Acts 2:47

The King of glory. Everything glory resides with him, and it is of his fullness that he gives unto us lavishly, grace upon grace John 1:16

John 3:16 and John 3:17

If you want to make it right with Jesus, or you are rededicating your life to Jesus Christ, come and stand as a sign of surrender.

You are saying, I want to win that war of destiny once and for all

John 6:37

  • Lord Jesus, I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart.
  • I believe you are the Son of God. I believe you died for my sin. I believe you 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 now on I am a child of God. I go from glory to glory and grace to grace.

By the authority of your word, I declare their sins forgiven. I call them bonafide recipients of your life

The grace to live the victorious life, I release upon you. You are children of the kingdom. You go from glory to glory, grace to grace. The Lord bless you. The Lord increase you

Inspiring Quote

Sermon

"One symptom of backsliding is that you begin to look down on the simple things that keep you on fire, calling a devotional 'just milk.' It's not about the information, it's about the consistency."

- Apostle Emmanuel Iren
