A speaker argues that prophetic calling demands rejecting the need to please people. He uses the metaphor of "re-digging ancient wells" to describe reclaiming spiritual heritage the enemy has stolen, calling contemporary movements like the "Awakening" examples of corrupted spiritual initiatives. Believers must be unwilling to compromise for relevance.
Chapters
If you are a man pleaser, you can't be prophetic. You've got to be socket. You've got to be. Do you know the meaning of collecting lost wells? Oh, the end time armies will rebuild ancient ruins, will take back lost wells, re-digging ancient wells. What are you talking about? You, I gave you an illustration. Imagine this amazing dress. Let's say this suit costs, for instance, $1,000, and you bought it, $1,000. Then you're moving on the street, then you see an agbero wear the same thing. Same thing. Listen to what I'm saying. The attack is on your consciousness of what you are wearing. This is how the devil steals wealth. He pollutes it, then you drop it. Can I give example of stolen wells? Rainbow Sign. It's a stolen well. You know the most recent stolen well? Awakening. It's been hijacked by those who are awakened outside scriptures. Now when you begin to show them prophetic insight, this is the word. Those who feel you're on their side, I say, because I've seen that lately, is awakened. You say, I say, ah, is that— what are you talking about? You are living that thing. It's like you are eating a food, somebody wants it, you didn't give, it's part inside, you drop everything. That's not emotional intelligence. To collect a well that the enemy has stolen, he has defiled it. We will have to rebrand it. It means first we have to contend for it. Well, we will not let you steal this. You will not steal this name. You will not steal this symbol. You will not steal this logo. It's our own. We must insist it's our own. It works because once you are insisting, religious spirit comes for you. He does it well through the help of religious spirit. He does it well. It looks like the devil can just come for any reality in the church and they hijack the name and you say, no, no, no, I'm not like— what are you talking about? You see, if you are a man pleaser, you can't be prophetic. You've got to be dogged. You've got to be— why are Christians afraid of being irrelevant? I don't want them to look at me like this so that they— that's the reason why everything you do and say is only relevant for now. Look at the way they are playing games with you. Playing games. Oh, oh, oh.
