I'm not trying to glorify myself. I'm trying to make you understand the mercy of God in his coincidences. Listen, by the grace of God, I have not done a single day outside school without a job. And you don't know how dramatic that is. I do ministry actively. I promise you, there are few young ministers you know who travel like I do. Are you with me? Now, how is it possible that with such a ministry schedule, I'm still able to have, you don't, I have not done a single day that I didn't have a job. It was even so that when I was finishing my one year housemanship in the hospital, one year, of course, one year finished, I finished on Friday. I had a new job to resume on Monday. Do you understand? I have never for once ever said, where will the job come from? It does not matter. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? There, there is so much to do for me to be broke. It can't happen.

And it's not because I'm that intelligent. It's not because I know how to work. It is divinely orchestrated coincidences. Listen, God can connect you with people. Are, are you with me? He can connect you with places. He can bring you around the right associations. Hi, He can bring you around picture of possibilities. Are we together everybody? And so let me pray for you once again, that in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

Just give it some time in the name of Jesus Shabausteenonriattabahai. Venom reso regilla mandriattavakeporo coststo venegadriatta bahai. Oh, in the name of Jesus, let supernaturally orchestrated events begin to happen. In the name of Jesus. Let people begin to dream of you. In the name of Jesus. Now, a quick question. How else would Peter have preached to Cornelius if not by Cornelius dreaming? You don't understand. It was so bad when Peter went into the house of Cornelius, after Cornelius relayed the story to him, you know what Peter was still saying? He says, You know that normally Jews don't eat with Gentiles, but I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. So in other words, he's trying to say, even if I heard that it was God that told you to call me, even right now, I'm not too bad on you like that. Are we to get everybody? So listen to me. Now,

when you talk about Peter's religion ministry, you will say Peter was the first man to reach the Gentiles. Is it because he prayed? Hi, are you with me? I'm trying to make you understand that it is not of him that will it, of him that run it, and that is not just for salvation. Are we to get everybody? There can be divine orchestrated situations that you will just happen to be at the right place. You will just happen to say the right things. There are people who will hear you, listen. They will hear you and begin to say, what kind of wisdom is this? And they are wondering, what have I said? Meisonkoko kilo letoye, and they're saying, Can't you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth in the name above every other name. Let things begin to work for you. In the name of Jesus. Valeria Salamanderlika sala.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. We are not alone. We are not alone. We are not alone. We are not on our own. We come in the name of the Lord. We are not on our own. We are not alone. Blessed are days that come in the name of the Lord. We are not alone. Thank you, Jesus. And so Lord, this evening we received an atmosph of illumination. An atmos of insight and revelation where anything good is possible in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Somebody say glory to God. Hallelu Amen and amen. All right, have your seats. Let's get into the world with the amount of minutes that we have left. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus.

I am glad, my heart is glad. You are my peace. I can't be moved like Zion. My feet. I am, my heart is, you are. I can't be moved like Zion's heels, my feet are still.

A lot of believers don't understand how spiritual attacks work. You see, unfortunately, when we think of spiritual attacks, we think of village people. A woman who ties red wrapper. By the way, I apologise for pulling off my blazer. I'm at home, so do you understand? So I can free myself. Amen and amen. By the way, I'm so sorry. I've not done my introductions. Please can you celebrate Pastor Timmidaolalikon, Such an amazing man of God. Thank you so much. You know the funny thing about it, that every time when he mentions this story of Angola, I don't even remember. That's the funny thing. Every time when he mentions it, I don't remember because I mean, I've, I've, I've, by the grace of God, I've taught this campus small with evangelism. You know, I, I, I, I didn't even know how much I had done it until I began to hear some things, you know. Someone would randomly mention my name,

and the person would say, Abo boye putti was Emajelezi ebajibajevan. I say, we are a walk reach for this campus, Kini mwakiri. Now sozobaba me now so I just be, you know the irony of it. Listen, God can turn around a person's life, you know the irony about it. Do you know that in my 100 level on this campus someone saw me and said, Eleo the sheministry botini, I'm telling you. What about you, I'm telling you, the person looked at me 100 level first semester, looked at me and said, uh, son, someone cannot do anything. Someone is just snap pop off. I'm not, you know, the thing, she was the one who came to tell me later on. I wish to get everybody. God can turn around the man's life, you know, because the reason it's important for us to say these stories is because there are a lot of you who maybe you see some of us and think, ah, this one I've known from the womb, yeah. Uh, I mean,

don't get it twisted. See, I wasn't a bad boy. I didn't have any bad boy face. I was a, you know, I'm a pastor's child. I grew up in church. You understand what I'm trying to say. I'd always been doing Bible sword drill. By the grace of God, I had never been beaten. Glory to Jesus. You know, you know you could to reach me. I know, I you don't understand that, but you know if you could to reach me. You're the one. So, you know, that's how I grew up, you know, as a small woman, I didn't do all of those things. I was telling somebody before that the worst thing I ever did was to miss me big service. That's how good a boy I was. But, you know, I came to school and honestly, I have been doing this trust thing so much from home. So I just wanted to come to school and just be a fresh boy. Do you understand? I didn't like to get, don't get it twisted. I didn't want to be a bad boy,

but I just wanted to come, face my academics. Do you understand what I'm saying, you know, do the best I can. Graduates make money. They're fresh. They go. Yes I me with the tall Bahamas. Do you understand? But you see, just the same way he's mentioning the story, a man took me up. The man, I don't even know what he saw. I don't wanna panti today. The man just carried me and the same thing every Saturday. Just took us like that and began to teach, began to teach, began to teach, ah, and listen, when the world collides with you. Listen, you know, the prophets tried to explain it. He said, I tried not to talk, I could not. It's like fire shot up in my bones. Listen, there is something that can be an intoxication of the soul. Listen, the same way alcohol can intoxicate the man, and the man will say, I don't know what's doing me. I cannot hold myself. Listen to me.

A man can be addicted to the ministry of the saints. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? You see, there's a way we talk about the things of the world as though they have a stronger hold than the things of the spirit of God. It's not true. It's not true. If the Bible tells you that you can walk in the spirit and you will not fulfil the loss of the flesh, it lets you know it does not matter how strong the hold of the flesh is, the spirit is the answer. Are you with me? So what that means is this, is that if a man can be addicted to fleshy desires, you can also also be addicted to spiritual desires. You can be addicted to the work of ministry. I see, let me tell you something. I cannot imagine myself doing any other thing. I can't. That is it. You may not understand what I'm trying to say. There is no amount of money that makes sense for me, for me not to do ministry.

And it is not about standing in front of a crowd, even if I'm talking to people. See, by the grace of God, I had learned this thing from campus, see. You know, I was in, you know, a fellowship that had quite some numbers and I was a workers and training coordinator for two sessions. Every, on average per semester, I was leading about 400 students. Do you understand me? And here's, but here's the thing. I had personal times of evangelism where I would enter Angola. Angola was actually my station. I would enter Angola and I would just, they knew my name. I would enter every room. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I would pray for a block like I was the man of God to that block, and I would pray too. And the way I'm praying, you would think that I'm, I'm contending for 1000 people. Guess what? 2 souls. Two souls. I pity those boys. You don't understand. Listen, I taught them once.

Let me tell you, I taught them once. There was a particular semester. I taught them Genesis 1 and 2 for an entire semester. Every Saturday, 2 hours teaching Genesis 1 and 2 oppa. A copa you and if I was going, you would think I'm going to go and meet 1000 people because I would, I would ah makako a kika you just walking talking in the Holy Ghost shaakatalabata bam. And by the time you see me moving, you'll be thinking he's going for a special ministration, and he's special. I, are we to get everybody? Because listen, it doesn't matter if it's a stage of 2 or a stage of 2000. It is still souls. And listen, there is nothing that matters as much as a soul to God. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? So, listen, there is nothing else I can be doing with my life than this. Nothing else makes me sick by the grace of God. See, God has helped me a little. I've travelled small.

Do you understand? I've travelled small. I've seen small. I've entered those places, you know. You know, when I, when I finish from school, my mom becomes to pressure me, you know, you, you know, relocation, you know, those kind of things, and so on and so forth. I looked at her. I say, Yeah, but I go and say, Mom, what a bisha? Well, pull your locibi coon. He's not going anywhere. I, you know, those parents are very funny. Before you gave birth to the child, you said, if you, if you give me, I will give him back to you now. You don't talk and finish. You call it's time now to give her back. You gotta do. I don't understand. Now you implicate me. Now you. That's the truth, because now they'll be telling you before you were born, this was the prophecy that came, this was the prophecy that came, this was the prophecy that came. You don't use prophecy implicates me. You're gonna tell me,

you're gonna tell me, uh, oh, I need you to relocate. Now you go stand in front of Jesus for me. No, I'm not going anywhere. But you know, by the grace of God, you know, God opened some doors because of work. I've travelled to a few places. I'm telling you, I have never gone to a place I felt like, ah, I should stay. Nothing like that. Ask my folks, you know, by the grace of God, I'm a married man. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Oh my God, I am so sorry. I bring you greetings from the most beautiful woman in the world. My, my moon and my stars, the very damsel of my heart. Lady Loladia Deo, can you celebrate her, please? Do you understand decoration. Are we together

Yeah, yeah, I just, I thought Samia, may I answer you, tell the time of, uh, until that time, until that time, I, I wish to get everybody, you know, I remember my, my honeymoon. Now, of course, I had an amazing time at my honeymoon, but at my bos on Sunday. I was calling them. I was calling them my pastor. I said I was service. I, how is it going? He goes, OK, yes, I'm enjoying this place, but there's something my life is for. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? And you know the funny thing about this thing, I have been saying it when I was on campus. I have been saying it. I have been telling people that, listen, even when I'm on a plane, I'll be talking in tongues. I've been saying it. See, let me tell you something. The Bible says something, you see, and when you're having chlamydia, listen, you can direct the course of the future by your words. Are you with me? Listen,

you can't. I don't know why people have this idea that in order to be vied for the things of God, you must be suffering beyond campus, not from you. Are we together? So while other people will be saying things like, even if we don't have a job, we will serve the Lord. I never said that with them. You know what I kept saying? I kept saying, even if I'm in a private jet, I'll keep serving the Lord. Because listen, you need to understand, it's not only poverty that drives people away from God. Riches also does. Are we to get everybody? So don't think that, oh, if I, at least, if I don't have a lot of money, then it is sure that I'm going to be, there are people who it is that same poverty, they're not having money. It's the reason that they stopped serving God. Are we together, everybody? Exactly. So I kept saying those things about my future.

That do not matter how much money I have ahead of me, I'm gonna keep serving the Lord. I'll keep teaching the gospel. I'll keep putting money into the gospel. It's going to be the most important thing of my life. By the grace of God, I mean, God has helped me a little. God has helped me a little, but I can tell you this. There is no greater honour for a man than for than for him to live his life preaching the gospel, raising the banner of Jesus. No greater honour in his life. I'm telling you, it's more greater than the honour of a president. I'm telling you the truth. It's not greater than the honour of a prime minister, that a man stands in the place of God upon the earth announcing his message. The Bible says. Then we are ambassadors for Christ. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We are ambassadors for Christ. Do you know the meaning? See,

let me tell you something about an ambassador. You see, an ambassador not only stays in the embassy, representing, you know, the foreign nation in that nation. Listen, it is that wherever the ambassador is, represents the nation. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? So it's not just that, oh, when the ambassador is in the embassy, even if the embassy is in the UK, then that, that area is known as Nigeria. No, that's not it. The ambassador of Nigeria to the UK is such that wherever he goes, where he stands, represents Nigeria. And that is the reason if you do anything against him, what you have done is to go into war against the entitled Federal Republic of this nation. So you need to understand when the Bible says we are ambassadors for Christ, it means we are, we, we heralded his lordship on the earth. Are we to get everybody? We walk in his dominion upon the face of the earth.

We are moving like a squad, like his army upon the face of the earth. No greater honour I wish to get everybody no greater honour. Might stand in front of stages to present publication papers. Might have, you know, the biggest of stages. Might have quite some amount of money in my pocket. No greater honour than to stand to teach God's word. Listen, and it's not just a greater honour because on Sunday, I teach 10,000 people. You see, every Saturday when I step out to, you see, I still do it by the grace of God. The fire is still there. Are we to get everybody. By the grace of God, I still step out on the streets of Lagos every Saturday. I'm trying to make you know the mission is possible. The fire doesn't have to dwindle because you left campus. Every Saturday I still step out on the road, telling people, Jesus is Lord. Jesus died for you. I've been doing it. It's what I'm still doing.

That's the truth. Who told you the fire has to, has to die here? It doesn't have to. I have seen my future. It is settled within Jesus. I, there is no future of me I see that Jesus is outside it. That's what I'm saying? I've set myself up forever. For service to the Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. This is the blessing of my life. The intoxication of my soul. He is the lover of my life, the lover of my soul. All that I am and I have is him. You know, this, this is the meaning of the songs we sing. It's not just about us crying when you sing those songs. It's that of a truth, your life is in total surrender. Can he tell you, pick up your things and move and you move. Can he? Come in. I mean, unfortunately, a lot of us have turned Christianity to celebrity faiths. Who makes us look cool the most?

Uh, don't let the pictures lie to you. It's not my suits. OK. It's not by suits. I wish to get everybody. It's not by suits. It's zeal. Paul was speaking in Acts 20, Acts 20, in verse 24. He says, none of these things move me. And when he said none of these things move me, you would think he's just talking about Boyamofeno. No, he was going to Jerusalem and Agabusa signified by prophecy that he was going to be killed. You hear what I'm saying? They knew that him going to Jerusalem meant his life was in danger. He was going to die. He said, none of these things move me. Neither do I count my life down to myself. None of these things move me. If a man was willing to risk his life for the gospel, the only problem is, ah, I'm not sure if I go to this place, there'll be a job. Really, really. Really What is Jesus' words to you? What is Jesus' worth to you?

And you see this ridiculous Christianity of you can have it all. The Bible never taught it. The Bible did not teach you can have it all. The Bible taught you can have what the work permits you to have. Are you with me? You can only, you, I hope you know as a Christian, you don't just look and say, where is the nicest country to go? And then you just go there. You have to ask, where would the Lord have me be? Where will he have me go? Listen, the best place a man can ever be is at the centre of God's plan for his life. I didn't say it's the most comfortable place. I didn't say it's the nicest place. I say wherever the best place it has to be is at the centre of Gospel. Wherever the Lord leads you is where you go. Are we together? And let me also now say this, that the Lord leads you. That doesn't mean it's going to be soft. Are we together, everybody? You know,

the Bible tells you in Acts 16, and please permit me. All right, I'm just feeling the spirit of God is directing me. I, we, you know. You know, the Bible tells you in Acts 16 that Paul had decided he wanted to go into Asia to preach the gospel. That's the funny thing, you see, even when it comes to seeming spiritual desires, we still have to be led by God's spirit. Are we to get everybody? So the Bible tells you that Paul had decided he wanted to go to Asia in Acts 16, but the Bible said the spirit withstood him. It's, it's restrained him. He said, OK, no problem. And now the Bible now tells you he then decided that he was going to move to Bithynia. Again, the spirit withstood him. And then the Bible tells you that in a dream he saw a man of Macedonia telling him, Come, help us. And so he knew that the Lord had sent them to preach the gospel in Macedonia.

Should I tell you the interesting thing? It was in that missionary story that Paul ended up in prison. In case you are wondering, when you hear Paul and Silas, they pray, they sang, it was in that missionary journey. I'm trying to let you know that God led you doesn't mean it's not gonna be tough. Are you with me? I, I, I feel it very strongly in my heart that I'm seeing words to strengthen people's conviction in this. That God led you there doesn't mean it's gonna be easy. But guess what? Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. Now, pay attention to this. He didn't say I fear no evil because he would take me out. No. I fear no evil because he is with me. Listen, the beauty of it is not that he brought us in so he will take us out. The beauty of it is, listen, he brought me here. He's with me. See, this thing I'm teaching you is important too, because

if you don't understand it, you will not understand what it means to count the cost for ministry. There's a cost to ministry has a cost. Are you willing to see your friends travel and begin to do better? People that you know you're more intelligent than. You know that if you also, you know, let, let me tell you a funny thing. When my, when my best friend was going to travel, he's in the US now. You know, you know what he told me? He said, ah, he said, Israel. He said, you know the funny thing about it? He said, I know that if you try this thing, you'll go once. That's what he told me. He said, I know. If you try this thing, you'll go once. I said that's, I said that's my, that's my cross. It's not going anywhere. I wait to get everybody and you see when we say those things we're not just saying it as but, ah, you know, ah, that's my cross so mashasibe no sir, this is joy. Joy.

Are we together? We run the race with joy. Are we together, everybody? Nobody's pity me in the work of ministry. I don't need your pity. I'm full of joy. There's no better thing I'd rather be doing. Doesn't matter if you drive a better car, live in a better house, wear better clothes. There is no better thing I I would rather be doing than preaching the gospel of Jesus. Every sacrifice for Jesus is worth it. Every single sacrifice. Listen, you know, oh, these are the meditations of my heart. You know, once, I was, I think it was just this morning, I was in the bathroom and I was just thinking about it. I said, I have no regrets about the sacrifices of my conviction. No regrets whatsoever. None. I look back and I think to every single sacrifice I've made, I don't regret a single one. Listen, I'm not saying that every single decision I made was correct, all right, because of course,

people grow. So it's not impossible. I, I could have made certain mistakes. I wish to get everybody, but I don't regret making a decision because of my conviction. It might not have been correct, but I learned to sacrifice for my conviction. A lot of believers don't have that anymore. You know believers, none of that anymore. So what they insulted you. You are crying. You you share. What's your problem? You prophet to the nations. You prophet to the nations. They are silencing you. Ah, you don't know. And that's why I said you no believers don't understand how spiritual attacks work. Listen, when God tells you that you're a prophet to the nation, anything that seems to silence your voice is a demonic oppression. Listen, even if it is just a tweet. It's an attack. Listen, the Bible tells you, ah, Lord, please permit me. You know, I normally I like to open the Bible less,

but I'm just quoting, but are, are we following everybody? Now the Bible is teaching about warfare. In 2 Corinthians, and I believe it's chapter 10 from verse 3, he says, Weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pulling down strongholds. Now when we hear strongholds, once again we think village people, every enemy of my destiny, so on and so forth. No, but look at what he says. He says, casting, he says, um, uh, mighty true God, uh, to casting down strong goals, pulling, um, casting down imagination, sorry.
