AS FAR AS YOUR EYES CAN SEE 3

Ambience TV. Are you ready for Jesus? Are you sure? All right, um, I'm gonna be saying a few things that will be quite direct and, um, Because one of the very important things to look out for when you come for a meeting like this is instruction. Is that okay? Um, what are the decisions you have to now go and make that should affect the course of things? So it must be clear. Is that okay now? You should not leave a meeting like this without knowing what to do. Somebody somewhere here will never be confused again. Oh shit, I didn't hear that well. Again I say, somebody somewhere here will never be confused again. Let me say this to you. One of the— I bless God for gifts grace for different manifestations. One very spectacular grace that every believer must desire and trust God for is the ability to know what to do and when to do it. I've seen Christians that live their life in perpetual confusion. Always confused about what to do, always making decisions that are contrary to God's plan for their lives. And they, they sound quite sure, and that's, that's, that's the amusing thing, all right? Because it doesn't make sense. How can you be on the wrong path and be so sure? And some even have dreams and they're on the wrong path. So when that goes on for a while, a spirit takes charge called the spirit of lying vanity. You know, when those kings gathered themselves to go to battle and they went to inquire of the prophet, um, that should I go, should I not go here, I'm in the midst of them All the prophets said, go, you will win, um, you will, um, you are going to subdue your enemy, you are going to come back. He said, there's one guy around, I don't like him because he doesn't speak good things about me. If you call a man a prophet, you are not expecting him to say what is nice, you just want to hear what God is saying. His name is Micaiah, go and bring him. Micaiah got there and said, I saw that there was a meeting, and the conversation in that meeting was to check how to finish you and to destroy you. And different spirits were bringing suggestions, but one said, I will go and be a lying tongue in the mouth of the prophets. When he said that, one of the prophets came and slapped the hell out of him and said, what nonsense? When did God leave me to start talking to you? He said, okay, go, go, go, come back, eh, come back. You will not hear lying vanity. You will hear God. Oh, I didn't hear that amen well enough. You will hear God. Again I say, you will hear God. Again, I decree you will hear God. Let me show you a scripture. Romans chapter number 8. Let's start the reading from verse 14. Romans 8 from verse 14. If you're there, say amen. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. As many. Now verse 15 says, for you have not received the spirit of bondage again to be afraid, to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. You know, one of the most repeated statements in the Bible— I stand to be corrected— if not the most repeated statement, is the word 'fear not.' 365 times in the entire Bible. So if, if God is making every effort to communicate the reason why you should not be afraid, it means there's something about fear that can short-circuit what God wants to do in a man's life. Say it loud and clear: I will never be afraid. Say it again: I will never be afraid. Let me show you something. Turn your Bibles to the book of Joshua. Quickly. When the river flow— Joshua chapter number 1. Begin to bring dead things back to life. The living river, oh, let it flow right here, right now. Let it flow, let it flow. Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow, let it flow, oh, let it flow. Amen. Say it one more time: I will never be afraid. Look at the way you are saying it. Say it one more time. Amen. Let me say this before we read that book of Joshua, all right? There's nothing on earth that is worth being afraid of, not even death. The Bible says some are through the fear of death been subjected to bondage. There are Christians who live under that panic every day. Ah, I don't want to die, I don't want to die. I don't want to die. And the devil traps them because as long as you are afraid, there are decisions you can't make, there are directions you can't go to. Say it one more time: I will never be afraid. There are people who have powerful leadership skills but are not courageous. You see, you can't lead people into their inheritance without courage. The first time we started having resident pastors across branches in Sphere of Light Church, he was already working as an accountant in a firm. So he told me from Part 1, while he was in Part 1 campus, that I think God say I should follow you. So I said resign. When he finished, resign. The time has come for you to follow me. How— what I'm going to pay you, I don't know, but I know we can't fail. Resign. See, there are decisions you can't make if you are— if you're afraid. Anybody who is afraid is not qualified to be a leader. History has never favored the timid. Timid people have no space in history. They They are neutral. No, we have neutral gases like neon. They don't react with it. They are just there. They don't want, they don't give, they don't take. Just there. I think helium too is something like that. Helium. Look at the name helium. That's the way some Christians— some Christians who should call their name, um, Joshua Velion, Oma Asunwa, timid, won't make step. Tell your neighbor, fear not. Fear not. Tell your neighbor again, fear not. Fear not. You know, fear can even make you marry the low-budget version of the will of God. I'm telling you. Please sit down. I found a very powerful secret in life. Everybody you are afraid of is afraid of something. See, forget. Ah, will I show you the secret? You say, ah, these people, I don't know if I stand in front of them. How do I stand in front of them? When you begin to communicate a level of value, you you will discover that they need you. All you have to do is to recognize the value that you have. I told you, I've walked into rooms and places that they're like, my God, Apostle Lazarus, for the first time here! Oh wow! And that was not my first time. And I owe you no explanation. I said, no, I came here some years back. Maybe you caught the way I was then. It's none of that. It's none of your business. Leave that between me and God. I'm here now, a rebranded version. Let's talk. Don't kill God's plan for your life because you are afraid to stand on certain pedestals. What limits vision is the spirit of bondage. Let me show you what I wanted to show you. Joshua chapter, chapter number 1. Joshua chapter number 1. See, everybody is looking for how it will be well with them, so I How can you live in assumption and just think? Are you following what I'm saying here? Say again, I will never be afraid. I need to show you this. Joshua 1. If you're there, say amen. Okay. I need to jump a bit. Let's start the reading from verse 5. Now God, speaking to Joshua, said, there shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not forsake— not fail you, nor forsake you. Be strong and what? Of good courage. Come on, say, of good courage. For unto these people shall you divide for an inheritance the land which I swore unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and be courageous, that thou mayest observe to do, all right, according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper in whatever you do. So you understand where he now says, this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth. This you can meditate to do what is in it, um, all the days of your life. Why, why did God have to tell Joshua again and again, be courageous. Because God saw that his problem was fear. He was afraid. He had seen how they— and see, let me tell you, he had watched how Moses sacrificed so many things, and yet they frustrated him. The number one problem of the Joshua generation is always fear. Hold on, don't, don't write it. The devil is going to do a lot of things to persecute the Moses generation so that the Joshua generation will not emerge in the fullness of their stature. So when you see people like Pastor Femi Lazarus here, Deboye, talk about spectacular operations, and Bishop Oyedepo talk about mighty things they are doing, talk about the edifice they are building, the way they will clamp on them is not to attack them. They have gone beyond those words. The one who is being attacked is you, the Joshua generation. So in the midst of that, you must not allow those narratives pass. When you stand to defend the gospel, you must understand that you are defending your own era. If you watch the fathers being grounded and insulted and you are quiet, they have their thrones. You are the one that will not have yours. Many of them are on their way out. They have what God is going to give them. They are finished. You are the one that is never going to step there because you'll be intimidated. The Joshua generation must rise in courage. They say one Gen Z is rude. Are you not in the Gen Z together? Show us the God version of it. I said show us the God version of it. So anything the devil wants to make nonsense out of, show us the original. Elbow your neighbor and say, be strong. Say it again, be strong. Be of good courage. All right, look at it. In 1 Samuel 16, Samuel already poured the oil on David and said, God has anointed you as the king. Oh God, you see, prophet can be dangerous. You anointed a king. In the presence of only his families and left. How he will get to his throne is his business. Was it Femi Lazarus that was asking me that? Dr. Foye asked you that, which king are you willing to slay, right? Which king? Which king? No, you must have a king you are willing to slay. Let me tell you something. There is someone occupying in the demonic realm Ah, the throne God wants to give you. Yes, that is the king you are to defeat to get your throne. You, you must know what king you are going to slay. So when David came in 1 Samuel 17 and he said what will be done for the guy that kills this guy, he was not defending Israel, he was defending his throne. When you stand audaciously to speak to matters in the body of Christ and defend the faith, you are defending your portion. Let me tell you, let me tell you, it is too late for any criticism to bring me down. God took 3 years to teach me the culture of criticism. 3 years. 3 years of my life, what I was learning was persecution, criticism, 3 good years. So when a small girl just come to my DM, maybe for a message I preach, I misunderstood, and say, you are a bastard, I can see through you. If I can see you physically, I will hold your head and say, what's your problem? Now go now, sit down. You think I'm going to say, "Yeah, am I the one you're talking to?" No, no, I can see through you. You are frustrated. I've been sent to you. Sit down. If somebody says, "Are you mad?" and you're angry, it's a sign that you are. They just confirmed it. How can you look at me and compare me to a madman? You— something is wrong with you. I mean, I know who he is. And you need to be delivered. If insults get at you, they confirm what you believe. No, they confirm what you believe. Can you look at me and say, "Eh, Apostle Aso, are you a girl?" The same way I can't be a girl, same way I can't be mad. You must understand the science of persecution. It's— listen to what I'm saying— it limits the dream that you have not dreamt, such that when you begin to dream, you can't see the full extent anymore. Because I'm telling you, once you absorb it, you start playing safe. The future is not for those who are playing safe. See, I'm not saying don't be safe, but you, you need a dimension of reckless abandon I want to say it in, in a raw way. You, you need both in the secular and the spiritual realm. It is madmen that break records. Anilati ni lo rigon. But you don't know what that means, let your neighbor help you. So see, listen, the moment you know this is the path God is sending you to, you sit with it with the decision of if I die, I die. I told you when this ministry started I was told, having spent money on you, you want to go and start a church? What nonsense is that? I had already applied to further my studies in London University of Tropical Medicine. God said, go back to Ile-Ife. It takes a madman to do that. That is what it— Are you following what I'm saying here? The future is not for Jelenke. Let's just please save— I don't want anybody to have my matter on their mouth. See, let me tell you something. Maybe they troll somebody on social media. The person now went to commit suicide. See, look at the pressure. I can't do this anymore. I have to leave this world. The same people will now say, ah, this fellow must be stupid. Small thing, we are just saying. Meaning that they know that what they are saying has no depth. Say that I have sense. I can't be intimidated. I believe one of my assignments in this season for the body of Christ is to embolden the Joshua generation. Tell your neighbor, be strong. I told pastors who are pastoring ministries, so you get to an environment, the reason why the work may be small is because you don't go to a new environment with uku. You cast your net. One time, our ministry, we're having, I think Pastor Julius knows that time, we're having a program So I said I needed sound from the campus fellowship. So the president said, who are those people who will draw sound? Nonsense. I said, put him on the phone. So they put the guy on the phone. I said, what's your name? He said, my name is— what year did you enter this school? I need your sound. You said you don't have sound for me. Do you know who is talking to you? Say, I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir. Let them come and set up the sound for me now and get somebody there. His problem was that they asked who. So who am I talking to? My name is Femi Lazarus. Who is Femi Lazarus? I'm one of the pastors around. He didn't ask. Muda ejele o nani e so. You have to be audacious. You just have to be. If not, you won't get what is yours. You'll be a patient dog that ate the fattest bone while those who are smart have eaten the meat. Even God can't put too much in your hands if you are not bold. You think God wants to entrust a timid person, want to entrust his children into their hands? Someone who can say, follow me, we are going somewhere. And that's, that's what many young men lack, even in their relationship and marriage. Talking to a girl, say, I trust God. No, paint the future like you're already there. If you don't have money, have words now, huh? Have words now. Say, you know, now I'm seeing 60,000, but I trust God. I this, this, this. When myself and my wife was going to get married, one of the counselors counseling us asked, what do you do for a living? I said, I'm a pastor. Say, what else? That's what I do. That's all you do? Yes, that's all I— what do you two do? I don't fear anybody, I respect people. But when it gets to where it gets to, I don't fear. I'm telling you, I don't fear. Fear has stolen too much from me. I lived the first phase of my life in fear. I've seen it. Fear took many things from me. This church ought to have started 4 years before it started. Fear took those 4 years. We never took offering for 2 years. Because I was insulted and I was called names. We were all in depth. We faced the ridicule we've not yet faced because of fear. Now there's nothing else to fear. When you push a goat to the wall, it turns back. And this is my own turn now to face the devil and not just face him and face every other person. Are you following what I'm saying? I'm telling you, there's absolutely nothing to fear. Tell your neighbor, why are you afraid? Ask your neighbor again, why are you afraid? So sometimes I mention we're going to do so-and-so project. Hey, Apostle, what, what, what if, what if we are not able to do the project? Before the end of this year, I said I'm going to get 1 million people exclusive listeners to my teachings because I want to take my full teachings away from YouTube. Say, ah, YouTube, that's where everybody is going. Who have the audacity to take people away from YouTube? The one who wants to build his own platform. Yes, sir. Yeah, the one who wants to build his own is the one that should have the audacity to go against the norm. Yes, sir. By this time next year, you will have to be on premium package to have access to full message. You say, what does it mean? So your message will not be viral anywhere. Look at you, you think, you think, you think it is human strategy. Be bold. You don't have to stand on existing protocols. You don't. Yes, sir. You don't have to stand on existing protocols. Quote me anywhere. The people who are trying to intimidate you are also intimidated. That's what was there to— Sometimes I get really appalled. People meet me. See, you must tell yourself Again and again, I will never trade pity. Never. Went to— last time I was with my people in London, so I was lodged somewhere. So I said, hey, What does it cost to have this? I want to have my own facilities here. I want to have my own, and I want 20 units of my own here. I don't want to be paying one Igbo man some pounds every night. All right, what does it take? We already spoke the words in the air in London, oh, that we are going to buy our own building. I don't know how much they told me, whether £1 million or so. Do I really care about the amount? Oto ba ni ye abuku ka? Yes, sir. Eh pa? Before you say you can't afford it, know the price. Know the price. Ah, we are just starting, we are just— that's how we should not go out. You will never get anywhere like that. You wake up from your sleeping and slumbering. Be courageous. Dare to dream. Dare to. There are things God wants to do now that only those who are audacious are ready for it. Praise God. Only those who are audacious. Settle your mind. There's nobody who is doing amazing things that is not being criticized. And there's nobody who is failing too that is not being criticized. Choose your criticism. Choose it. Choose it. Choose it. Say it again: I fear nothing. The addiction to explain yourself to everybody, to make sense to everybody. You are even trying to explain the blessings of God. Do you know that? I was not— they just came to bless me on their own. It's not like I was trying to— you just came to bless me. And some people have this bad habit when you say, oh wow, you look good, you're dressing well, they say, ah, it's my sister's clothes too. Who asked you? It is not pride to take LD compliment. You look good. Thank you. And you look good too. And if you don't, I won't tell you. Yes, I don't know how to lie. Praise God. Are you still there? Are you still there? Now let me show you a scripture. Genesis chapter number 27. Now what I'm about to show you here is a very important trait. If you have been wondering what is the missing link for me to step into the realm of greatness, all right, I'm about to show you the missing link now. Amen. I said amen. So in Genesis 27, That's the story of how Jacob took the blessing from Isaac, the father. Okay? Yeah. So Isaac now released the word to Jacob— to Esau. When Esau began to cry and said, "Do you have just one blessing?" And the father now said, "Okay." There is a word for you. So turn Genesis 27. Um, let's start the reading from, um, verse 38. Is this Amplified? And Esau said to his father, as thou— whenever you see thou, you know it's King James— have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father. Then Esau, no longer able to restrain himself, raised his voice and wept loudly. Yeah. Then Isaac his father answered and prophesied and said to him, your dwelling shall be away from the fertility of the earth and away from the dew of heaven above, but you shall live by your sword and serve your brother. And however, it shall come to pass when you break loose from your anger and hatred that you will tear his yoke off your neck and you'll be free from him. Now hold on a minute, I want to show you something. You will tear his yoke off your what? Neck. Now give me this in Message translation quickly, verse 40. Who is there? And he said to him, all right, you will live far from earth's bounty and remote from heaven. Ah, Jesus! You live remote, that is away from heaven's dew. That won't be your portion. Ah, look at it. He said you will live by your sword, hand to mouth. You will serve your brother, but what— when you can't take it anymore. You know your problem, you can still take it. The moment your eyes get open and say those who are doing great things in life were not born with two heads, and this excuse about your background, that is when it ceases to make sense anymore. When you can't take it any— say you break his yoke. Meaning that anger has a role to play in the journey of emergence. That's it. What I found— I mean, I've seen it— the problem with many believers is that they are too contented. Anger is going to make you dream more. It's going to make you ask questions. It's going to make you seek for better ways for things to be done. You can't be complacent. You are going to want to evolve into a new version. It's going to push you, take sleep from your eyes. Anger is going to make you ask questions. How can I be better? What can I do? How can I learn? Anger is going to make you leave your comfort zone, get mentors. I'm tired. Somebody has to break through in this family now. Ah, anger is going to make you do the right thing. You start making decisions you've not been making. Quality decisions, informed decisions. You born midnight can do. You will search. You see, let me tell you, as much as people get blessed from my teachings, and I, I mean, I'm excited about what God is doing through the teachings, but me myself, I am angry. I sit down with my tape and I say, okay, here 'He could have been better said.' 'Here, why didn't I remember this scripture?' 'Here, why didn't I remember this?' Once you stop having that kind of character, you become still. And I've told people, there is nothing— familiarity is not a problem, it is a symptom. Familiarity is one of the quick pointer that you are stagnant in grace. You only get familiar with what is not moving. You only get familiar what is not evolving. If you will keep evolving, shifting, moving, nobody can get familiar with you. Before you catch up with this version, another version has emerged. You are wondering, ah, but just yesterday— wait, wait— before you catch up again, another version has emerged. Because the fellow is discontented with himself. My wife was telling you about me asking her doctrinal questions, and I wasn't joking when I said the only reason I'm going to excuse you because you are not the one who wrote the song. Ah, when I sit on your mata about doctrine, you are now looking. When God is preparing for a generation that is asking questions Ah, this thing must push you. Are you following what I'm saying? Lift up your right hand, everyone, wherever you are seated. Say it loud and clear: I refuse to be normal. I can't— say it again— I can't take this anymore. Is, is there anyone like that? Is there, is there Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Huh? Is there anyone? How hungry are you? Huh? How? One of my friends, I don't want to mention his name, he's a stubborn boy. He said his father beat him to a point, beat him, beat him, beat him. He was there shouting and crying. When he got to a point, the father now told him, when they beat you, you should run at some point. Stop steady. There's a point the man has to give him OT. Even me, I'm not expecting you to stay long. Ron, are you not tired? Get angry, get angry, be mad at your current level. You are grateful, but you are, you are, you are saying no, it can be better till I have all that is apportioned to me. It can be more. Can I give you a minute to boil out? Vent, vent. I want to get— look, look at the way you are praying. This is not the way it works. Vent. Take a minute out and vent. Oh yes, Lord, I know it can be more. Much more can happen through my life. Much more, much more. I am positioned for much more, much more, much more, much more, much more, much more. Motschmo! When the river flow begins to bring that thing back to life. Express your anger! I am positioned for much more. Every death into life, life-giving river, oh, let it flow right here, right now. When the The river flows, it begins to bring everything to life. It's the life-giving river, oh let it flow right here, right now. When the river flows, it begins to bring, it begins to bring everything to life. Oh let it flow. It's the life-giving river. Yes. Oh, let it flow right here, right now. Let it flow, let it flow. Let it flow, let it flow. Let it flow, let it flow. Oh, let it flow right here, right now. Amen. Amen. Sit down for a moment. I want you to say it loud and clear: In my lifetime, the devil will not intimidate the church. You are not saying it well. You know, I played football for a while, and it took God to deliver me from football. I was playing football. Even as Campus Fellowship president, I was playing football. So there's a way they would dribble you on the pitch that they will now ask that, is it the person that bought boot for you? Many Christians use the media as though the world bought data for you. Trent, stand, be audacious about the principles of the church. He said when you can't take it anymore— and I know that point, you get to that point and say, no, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't be normal again, I'm tired, I'm tired of being normal, I'm tired— just when you get to that point, you will break the yoke. Meaning that one of the necessary ingredients yokes are waiting for to break is anger. I scrutinize everything I do. I go back, I sit with it. It can be more. Somebody reached out to me, he said, hey, are you aware you are the most followed Nigerian pastor? I said, forget about that nonsense. This nation is going— we're over 200 million. How many have we touched? When you're not angry, you get satisfied on time. Wait till we start holding a Bible study and we have 50 million people in Nigeria alone connect. Let's start from that. Maybe we'll start thinking we are doing something. You have to set your face like a flint. If not, God himself won't trust you with his work. You can be, you can be very righteous doing everything right, but God can't put much in your hands because he will not anchor his work on timid men. Gideon was sifting wheat, right, to hide from the Amalekites. He called him a mighty man of valor. The man who destroyed them was sifting wheat to hide. How will a man of war turn to a wheat sifter? Now, one of the instructions for this season: get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you are going to climb, don't get used to convenience. You know, I read something in Hebrews 11, said the men, those all of fame of faith, he said they walk in desert in sheepskin. That doesn't mean that they were literally poor, but they had a sense of lack. You need that consciousness. Not lack in terms of material things, that there is something more I can get. I can be more anointed. Yes. I can be more grounded in the word. I can learn to pray more. I can learn to fast more. I can— there can be expression to every grace upon my life. Next year we are going to get into movie productions. Oh yes, Papa has brought the word of prophecy several times. We are going to get there and we are going to take— see, let me tell you, this is not the kind of one— let me, because I might take— because, aha, so you not just go and think that we are acting somebody's backyard and say we're in America. Are you aware— wait— that there is, there seems to be a subtle requirement from Netflix now that movies should just contain some unnecessary nudity? And are you aware that the, the kind of nudity on screen has changed now? Now it is complete. Ah, those are the kings we have to dethrone. I want to say some things, but We will not give ourselves out to them. They won't see us coming, hmm? And we just break into it. Get used to being uncomfortable. I wrote here, one thing that is common to every great man that altered the flow in their generation is discontentment. You meet people who are very great, you sit around them, you see that they want more. Then you meet those who are small, you see that they are satisfied. They are blowing their own trumpet. Discontentment. Now, God told me to tell you that we're in the season to review your visions again. Review your visions again. You know, visions get clear with exposure and time. Some of you are running with wrong visions. Be humble enough to ask God afresh. Anything can be changed. The name of the organization can change. You can call it Joseph of Ibadan International Corporation. Now it occurs to you, I am not of Ibadan alone, I am global. Change it. And some things you have named, you named them before you got light. Now that you have light, review it. You see, anything is reviewable, anything. There's something we do, we call it review of ideals. There are things that were important to us last year, that should not be important now because we have grown. Review it. Nobody really sent you like that. Nobody sent you. You're on your own. Nobody sent you. Review those visions. And in this season also, God is changing names. He's turning Jacobs to Israels. Many people have gotten wrong nomenclature, wrong names. I told you I was in Kano, and a while back, few years ago, and I was going to cross a major road and I was hearing a girl shout at the back, shouting, shouting, shouting. I didn't turn back. I thought she was calling somebody else. Till she ran and touched me. She was shouting, "Mathematics! Mathematics! Mathematics!" What's my business with that? Then she came and touched me. I checked back, "Eh, Chiamaka!" My secondary school classmate. I'm not mathematics again. Eti law. If you had said Apostle, I would turn back. See, don't let people call you by the name of your past. And those who insist on calling you that are not worthy of your present moment. Check them out. Don't be emotional about how people define you. Don't let them. There are people who are hell-bent on seeing you in the light of your smallness. You too be hell-bent in showing them the exit door. Very important. Now I told you this, that God wants to give us so much, but these 3 things are the limiting factor. Number 1, the size of your vision. Enlarge your tent. It will only give you as far as your eyes can see. What is the size of the vision? Number 2, the level of audacity you are functioning in. It won't give you what you don't have courage to take. Influence comes with persecution. Take it and be audacious to take it. Having more resources has its own challenges too, so it's been broke. I told you one time I was on flight with a minister and we're having good conversation until we entered the turbulent region. So she grabbed my hand I said, Madam, relax, relax. I can't be here and anything will happen. Say amen. Amen. She was a Muslim woman, and I remembered if I had gone on the road, this too would have taken about some 14 hours. I said, I prefer flight plus the turbulence than being delayed. Once you have to fly, deal with turbulence. Be audacious enough to take it. Deal with the turbulence. Deal with the turbulence. Tell your neighbor, deal with the turbulence. Number 3, one of the reasons why God can't pour so much on the church: your level of consecration. You see, there are people who are asking for much more who only want to spend it on their lust. Our idea of much more is kingdom expansion. Let me tell you, one of the cries I have cried to God is, bless me indeed, all right, that in my lifetime will embarrass poverty and what it has done to people. I didn't hear amen to that. Next year, Festival of Life. Every steward, best steward in every branch, all right, we're going to not just be giving awards but thousands of dollars. There are some kind of money when you receive, you can resign. Some of you would have been better facing what God has given you full-time, but there's no money, so you have to be teaching and getting $40,000. It will show you the secret of wealth. Amen. Sit down. I don't care about any devil that is offended when the church mentions wealth. We'll walk in it and God punish the devil. He will show you the secret of wealth, supernatural, and you, you will, you will be wise enough to advance the kingdom with it. Now let me ask you a question, um, how many bags of salt can you eat with? Huh? How many bag of rice can you eat? Talk to me. Huh? How many chicken can you finish? What is required for you to be comfortable is not much. So if your idea of resources is not beyond you, you are not a kingdom man. How many cars do you want to drive? How many cars? You want to drive one car per day, then drop it. There are people who are crying, there are people who are in pain, there are people who don't have faith to receive what some of God's children want to receive. He wants to use those. He wants to make you his kingdom treasurer. He wants to make you a financier of the kingdom. I've said it, after this conference our church takes a break from this place for 2 months. We pull down this facility and put something bigger and better. Hold on a minute. I say, ah, where is the money going to come from? That's not kingdom mind. We are well able to do it. I didn't hear amen to that. I didn't hear a bigger amen to that. Say loud and clear, we are well able. In my lifetime, in my lifetime, I will embarrass the devil with abundance. Join the world, you're arguing about tithe, about offering. We are not saying it is a law, but if God has blessed you, it will not make you die to honor him with a portion. It's not an argument. You see, the mentality of lack is the mentality of 'it will soon finish.' The mentality of abundance is the mentality of it can't finish. Can I hear amen to that? There, there are people here who walk in unbelievable level of abundance, and God will be able to trust you with it. I didn't hear amen to that. Now we have a word hanging. By next year Festival of Life, we are going to be chartering planes. Chartering planes to festivals. One person can say, anybody coming from Port Harcourt, I have paid, um, Air Peace Boeing 7-something, um, that as many as can enter, just get in. Uh, you don't need coaster buses, all bills on me. God punish the devil. You know the reason why you are not excited? Because something within you believe that can't be me. No, if you see your future being described, you'll be excited. And you know, you know the amazing thing? You know the amazing thing? The one who is going to do that is me. Sphere of Light Church is going to build cities. Narratives are changing. Lift your hands, put it on your head. Say, I, I, I become more audacious to dream. I stretch my hands towards these people and I ask The grace to break into that new space in your thinking, in your thought, in your heart, in your spirit, that people here will conceive new ideas, new visions. Let that grace come. You break into a new dimension altogether. Let the presence of God back you up. Again, I decree grace. God is doing new things amongst us, and no devil will stop it, in Jesus' mighty name. Today is the day of salvation, and you know what that means. It is the day for you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God so loved you, he sent his only begotten Son to this world to die for your sins. There is no sin too big, nothing you have done that is beyond redemption. The hand of God is outstretched to you wide for you to accept him today into your life and end all that the devil is trying to do with your life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, if any man be in Christ, a new creature, all things are passed away. And the Bible says all things are new. May I announce to you that all things can be new today. How do you give your life to Christ? Believe that Jesus is the Son of God sent to this world to die for your sins, and he rose on the third day for your justification. And today he's extending his hands to you to accept him as your Lord and Savior. And all you have to do is to hold out your hands and say these words after me: Lord Jesus, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins. I believe that you died for my sins. I also believe that you rose on the third day for my justification. Today I accept you as my Lord and Savior, and I accept this gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, amen. May I announce to you, you have made that decision, that there is so much joy in heaven right now. Angels are rejoicing, and there's so much joy. We have a contact on the screen and a barcode for you to scan if you have just made that decision, so that we will be able to reach you and help you get discipled and get you grounded in the rudiments of the gospel. I love you so much. We can't wait to see you again. Keep watching Ambience TV. God bless you.
