YOUR EXCELLENCE IS A DEPARTMENT OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
YOUR EXCELLENCE IS A DEPARTMENT OF YOUR HOLINESS.
YOUR EXCELLENCE, EMINENCE AND PROMINENCE, BEING A PRINCIPAL PLAYER ON THE PLANET EARTH IS AN HONOUR TO YOUR MAKER.
BEING A MEDIOCRE IS A DISGRACE TO YOUR CALLER (GOD).
THERE IS A GENERATION WAITING TO HONOUR GOD BECAUSE OF YOUR OUTSTANDING LIFE.
THERE IS A GENERATION WAITING TO RESPECT GOD BECAUSE OF YOUR TOP-PLACE EXISTENCE.
EXISTENCE AS A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD IS AN EXPRESSION OF YOUR PRAISE – TO SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF GOD.
OUR FATHER SUFFERS LOSSES IF WE LEAVE HIS ESTATE (RESOURCES) IN THE HANDS OF HIS ENEMIES
WITH ROYALTY COMES AUTHORITY AND PROSPERITY EFFORTLESSLY. IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO BE ABOVE ONLY TO ADMINISTER THE RESOURCES OF THE FATHER FOR HIS CAUSE ON THE EARTH
WHEN OUR CHURCH WAS NEW – UNDER 3 MONTHS, WE WERE PAYING 14,000 (NAIRA) EVERY SERVICE AT SHERATON HALL UNTIL SOME MEMBERS VOLUNTEERED TO HANDLE THE BILLS
GOD WANTS TO COMMIT RESOURCES INTO THE HANDS OF PEOPLE THAT WILL RELEASE THEM WITHOUT QUESTIONS OR ARGUMENTS LIKE THE OWNER OF THE PASSOVER UPPER ROOM
A WOMAN CAN BE MORE FINANCIALLY EMPOWERED THAN HER HUSBAND AND STILL BE SUBMISSIVE AND UNDER AUTHORITY
GOD POSITIONS THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO BRING THE RIGHT INFLUENCE TO THE SOCIETY.
GOD POSITIONS PEOPLE WITH MONEY, INFLUENCE, AND POSITION SO THAT THEY CAN SPEAK UP WHEN IT IS TIME FOR GOD’s CAUSE TO BE DEFENDED
HOW HAS YOUR WORK OF INFLUENCE OR RICHES IMPACTED THE CHURCH?
GOD PLACES HIS PEOPLE AT THE TOP TO STAND UP FOR HIS KINGDOM
IF WE DON’T HAVE PEOPLE AT THE TOP THEN THE TOP BECOMES A MISSION FIELD WITH NO MISSIONARIES
IT TAKES INFLUENCE TO APPROACH MEN OF INFLUENCE
IT’S EASY FOR A BILLIONAIRE TO TELL A BILLIONAIRE ABOUT GOD
LIFE IS ONLY MEANINGFUL WITH JESUS CHRIST. A TIME COMES WHEN THERE IS NO MONEY THAT CAN SAVE YOU
IF YOU LIKE ME, YOU LIKE THE WORK THAT I DO AND YOU LIKE WHAT BROUGHT ME TO THIS LEVEL. THEN YOU MUST HEAR ABOUT MY GOD.
WE NEED PEOPLE UP (AT THE TOP) SO THAT THERE CAN BE MISSIONARIES AT THE TOPMOST LEVEL.
-Dr Pastor Paul Enenche on “A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD – THE PURPOSE AND NECESSITY OF ‘ABOVE ONLY’ EXISTENCE” at Kingdom Power and Glory World Conference 2023 || Glory Dome || Day 4 Morning Session || 24th November 2023 ||
A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD – THE PURPOSE AND NECESSITY OF ‘ABOVE ONLY’ EXISTENCE.
Our objective is: To understand God’s purpose and the necessity of our existence as royal priesthood. It has been made abundantly clear that God’s plan for us is to exist as kingly priests and priestly kings. To exist in the highest realms of human endeavour – Highest realms. Church Gist. To exist on the top of our game, to exist ‘above only’. You are a medical doctor, you are a lawyer, you are an entrepreneur, a banking and finance personality; whatever realm, ‘above only’. The question is: What does God want to achieve? Why is it necessary? Is it just for show? Is it just to become like other people? Please, pay attention carefully.
Why is it necessary? What is the purpose?
1. To bring maximum honour and glory to the Almighty.
Maximum honour and glory. 1 Peter 2:9-10. Existence as a royal priesthood is an expression of your praise – To show forth the praises of Him. There are many ways we praise God, we praise God with our mouth, we praise God with our character but we praise God with our excellence, eminence and prominence. Church Gist. Your excellence, your eminence, your prominence, being a principal player on the Planet Earth is an honour to your Maker. Being a mediocre is a disgrace to your Caller (God). Matthew 5:14-16. There is a generation waiting to honour God because of your outstanding life. There is a generation waiting to respect God because of your top-place existence.
One young man here, he is an intercessor, a prayer person in this Church. I think he brought his children to me some time and the children weren’t doing very well or something, so I laid my hands on their heads. He said to me that, one is in senior secondary school, the other one is in junior secondary school, all of them cleared all the gifts, the awards, they were the top on everything. You know what he said to me? He said: ‘I was the proudest father on that graduation day’. That is, all parents came for graduation but me? They saw me, they honoured and respected me differently for being the Father of such outstanding children. I know how I’ve felt in the graduation of our children when they are mentioning awards and gifts. You pick this and pick that, you did this and did that, overall this, overall that. Church Gist. That is the honour of Jehovah! That is the respect of Jehovah! When they say the owner of the largest bank in the Country is an usher in His Church. When they say the owner of the largest aircraft fleet in Nigeria, it is a prayer band member of His Church, when they say the owner of the largest construction company in the Land, it is a Church counsellor. That is, those who want to look down on God cannot! Those who want to look down on the Church cannot! Those who want to look down on the Pastor cannot! Your excellence is a department of your righteousness. (Laughing). That was how Daniel was. Daniel was upright! It is a department of your righteousness. Your excellence is a department of your holiness. That was how John Wesley who practiced excellence coined: ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’. It is a department! So why would we be at the top? We must be at the top to bring maximum honour and glory to the Almighty.
2. To assume the command, control and rulership of the Earth on behalf of our God.
In other words, in Genesis 1:28, when God said ‘I want you to take charge of the Earth’. Psalms 115:16. In other words, I want to rule in Heaven but I want trusted people to help me rule on the Earth. Anybody like that here? He said that to Judah in Hosea 11:12. God wants those who will rule with Him. He rules co-rulers! He rules above, you rule in (the) Agricultural Realm. He rules above, you rule in the Educational Realm. He rules above, you rule in banking and finance. He rules above, you rule in industry, in manufacturing. He rules above, you rule in the Arts. It is like this, I want to give my property to caretakers that I know, that’s what He wants to do. Church Gist. He doesn’t want the unbeliever to be the Caretaker of the Finance Realm on earth. Eh! How do you feel when the Son of your enemy is the Caretaker of your house? The Person who wants your downfall, satan wants the downfall of God. I’m sure you know that the kingdom of darkness thinks that they will still win the battle against light, that is their hope, the fake hope that satan gives them. How do you feel that the Person who doesn’t want you to live is the One managing your money? If there is hospital bill, will he pay? It is normal and natural for the Child of a man to be the heir of his property. God wants His people and His children to take charge of His planet earth property, that is why it is essential. Every time we leave these realms for the devil, we are causing losses for our Father, we are causing pain to the heart of our Maker. When we leave these realms for the sinners, we leave the realms for the atheists, we leave the realms for the unbelievers, it is pain to the heart of our Maker.
My father ran luxury buses when we were growing up. I mean ran a lot of luxury buses – Lorries, trucks and so on. During holidays at times, we will apply to work with the luxury buses – holidays! I remember I think I was age 17 or 16, when I told my dad, I said: ‘I want to work with the buses, can you allow me to’?. He looked at me and said: ‘Really? Okay, you can go’! So we will follow the bus, inside the bus – Lagos to Kano, Lagos to Kaduna, Kaduna to Kano. The buses would be on the road for like one month before they would return back. O yes! They will be on the road, that is during that trip, they will just be like that before they return back. Church Gist. Normally when the drivers and the conductors see you around, any misbehaviour is checked. That is, the normal plenty attachments they used to put in the middle, attachment money, load money and any crooked thing (Laughing). I know a lot of motor park language and luxury business language. Because they realized that there is a guy here who is not of our fold who can report matters to (the) highest authority, so it puts them in check and while the thing is happening, you have your own record. How many people they carry from Lagos to Kano, Kano to Lagos, what was used for fuel, what was used for tyre changing and all that and then, what is the balance? The daily allowance for driver, conductor, subtracted from the overall income and then you know what is the balance, so this is what should be declared when we return. But when such is not in place, anything can happen, they can make a 100,000 and say it was 25,000 they made. ‘In fact, for 2 weeks we didn’t move anywhere’. That is in those days not now! Now, things are a bit eh, more electronic. Are you hearing what I’m saying here today?
Our father suffers losses if we leave his estate in the hands of his enemies. Our Heavenly father suffers damage and pain, even the cause of the Kingdom is halted. Church Gist. Is it not money they are using to sponsor terrorism? To burn down Churches and kill people? Money in the hands of demons.
3. Why is it necessary for you to go up? It is to administer the resources of the Father for his cause on the Earth. Zechariah 1:17. You see, with royalty comes authority; with royalty comes prosperity effortlessly. “I want to put my people in places and commit to them neat resources and let these neat resources be used for my cause.” I believe that the time will come shortly where one person will build a building like this (the Glory Dome) for God in one part of the world. Matthew 21:1-3. Church Gist. God wants to commit resources into the hands of people that will release them straight away. He wants to commit resources into the hands of people that will release them without questions, arguments. “You say the Lord has need?” He didn’t say, “which Lord? Why is he saying so?” Straight away! Mark 14:12-15. There was a man already in whose hands God had put the resources; who has made things prepared. All that is needed is for the Master to ask.
Beloved brothers and sisters, how sweet is it for the Crusade to be ready? – You don’t know how the venue was paid for, you don’t know how the lightning and stage were paid for, you don’t know how the hand bills were paid for, you don’t know anything. Church Gist. All that you know is that they said the place is ready; it has been furnished, the ground is ready, just step to the stage, carry microphone and start preaching. God’s Servant here Reverend S.O Academe, God’s handmaiden, Evangelist Mrs Aluma (points to him and Dr Enenche’s Sister) these are people who go places normal people don’t go – interior village: Ayaragu, Oju, Barkin Ladi, where are we going this December? Fugar, Aghenebode, Igarra, Auchi, Doma… and the thing is intensive financially, spiritually, because until you go to the localities you have not contacted demons yet, you have not encountered devils yet. Primitive ones, local ones that are not educated because education polishes people, it makes you reason a bit. That is why, God is in this end time raising people so that the Upper room was already prepared, furnished, you just step in and move. When you don’t have a money distraction, unction flows like water.
– I prophesy today, people – men and women that will have massive resources that will impact generations are rising out of here.
Lift your voice and say, “I must command the resources, not just for my sake, for the sake of the Kingdom. I must have money- plenty of it!”
When our Church was new under 3 months, we were paying 14,000 every service as at 1996. Do you know the inflation rate and convert it today? At Sheraton. So we were doing it for a long time and then, one day some members of the Church came and said, “excuse me Sir, please we don’t want you to bother about how this place is paid. We know it is very costly – 14,000 a Sunday. Church Gist. We will handle it, you just face the preaching.” It wasn’t too long before we left there though. In those days my wife and I will go to that Sheraton Hall that we had a meeting on Saturday night, pray brutally, all manner of things – angels moving in the Sanctuary ahead of the next day while we are praying.
The time needs to come where God will raise people that will tell you, “What is the budget of the Crusade for one year? How many Churches are we planning to plant for one year and what is the budget of the planting of the Churches?” There are people like that here and it is you God is raising! “Master, the Upper room is prepared; it has already been furnished.” So we are not just talking about building a Church but sound, chairs are inside, everything is inside. Church Gist. That is why it is necessary for God to position people so that they can control the resources and use the resources to promote and push his cause in the Earth. That was what he did with Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1-3; 13 – that is, his resources will facilitate the liberty of a generation. Crusades, healing things and things that free people, that is what I’m raising him for and not for price or for reward.
Shunammite woman that we just read about, she was a wealthy woman who used her money for the cause of the Kingdom. 2 Kings 4:8-10. Joseph of Arimathea used his resources to build a tomb. Matthew 27:57-60. The Master was laid in a new tomb. You know, he (Jesus) was a sinless son of God and when he needed to be born, he needed to born in a new womb. Church Gist. When he needed to be buried, he needed to be buried in a new tomb. Whether it is the womb or the tomb, it must be new. Joseph of Arimathea was ready.
– I see a Cyrus generation, a Joseph of Arimathea generation, women like the Shunammite woman here!
Do you know that the Shunammite woman was more financially empowered than the Husband? I’m sure you know that. Even though, that didn’t tamper with her submission because when she needed to build a house, she went to take permission from the Husband. Church Gist. That was what kept her normal. When they went on exile and returned back in 2 Kings 8, when there was a need for a recovery of her possessions, it wasn’t the Husband who went to the King, it was her, so, it is possible for women to be maximally loaded, still submissive, still under authority.
– I see a ‘Women Generation’!
When this Lord Garden was gotten and it was time to do the fence round, the fence is in kilometres. It costs hundreds of millions. At least, I know that it was not costing less than a hundred million. Oh yes, that time, we needed to do retaining wall in some places because of the River. Church Gist. We needed to do all manner of metal, concrete things, all the way round, kilometres. From one side, this side here to the other side there, at least, I know it is nothing less than 1.5 kilometres to the end and then go…what will it cost? and when the cost was mentioned, somebody dropped it, woman. Womb-man. Then.
– I see loaded women, loaded men, rising out of this place.
If you are saying Amen, you will say a louder Amen. If you are saying Amen, you will say it like a believer.
– Lift your right hand and say: Father, I am ready and I am available, as your instrument, in this generation.
– Every embargo placed on your life, every limitation in your life and your destiny, I declare it is broken.
Take your seats in the presence of the Lord.
Hallelujah…to administer the resources on the Earth.
4: Is to influence. Okay, let me qualify it like this. To be positioned to influence the lives of multitudes of people in society for God. When God raises royal priests or royal priesthood, He positions them to influence the lives of multitude of people in society.
I will just run through this:
Joseph was positioned to influence the whole of Egypt. Genesis 41:39-44.
Daniel was positioned to influence the whole of Babylon for God. Daniel 6:1-5,10-28.
Influence for God. What is the kind of influence? Let me qualify it in 3 ways.
i: It is influencing the quality of people’s lives. Egypt would have perished without Joseph. Church Gist. People would have died before their time. When God, for example, makes you to build factories and to build industries and to build institutions that employ thousands. Influence. Influencing the quality of people’s lives.
ii: Influencing the lifestyle of people through Kingdom principles. You know, when they say someone is a celebrity, people are trying to dress the way he dresses. If he is a bad person, he brings bad influence. There are certain celebrities that whether they are married, they are not married, people are not sure and they have baby mamas everywhere. ‘My baby mama’. Church Gist. There are celebrities that are permanently on Indian hemp, music stars that young people think that is the life to live. Young people think that is how to succeed. ‘If you want to succeed, smoke cannabis’ and these are wrong influences. So, God wants to position the right people, to bring the right influence to (the) society.
iii: To influence people positively in the direction of God. When people see and they say ‘This Man is a Christian. Then what am I doing? He is more successful than me and he goes to Church. He has more money than me and he is on crusade ground’ Then, they will rethink about their lives. This is the kind of thing that God wants to do. To reposition His royal priest in position of influence to influence society for God.
5: To be positioned as voices for the Kingdom in times of need. Voices for the Kingdom. Those who will speak on the behalf of God and on the behalf of God’s people because they are in places where their voices will be heard so, God placed them there.
Example 1: Queen Esther. God put her in the palace so when it was time for a wicked Haman to bring a decree that is against the Church, she rises up and say, ‘No way’ Esther 4:16; 5:1. Queen Esther. It was easier for someone in the Palace to speak to the King than for someone outside the Palace to speak.
Am I communicating? It is easier for authority to speak to authority. So, in the National Assembly, when they want to make some demonic laws, somebody stands.
I was watching something the other day, where in the Ghana parliament, they were trying to bring certain laws about gays or lesbians or something and a man stood up. A member of the Church of Bishop Agyinasare. He stood up and he said ‘Not in Ghana. Man can marry man, woman can marry woman, but not when we are here’. He began to quote scripture for them. He said ‘Don’t bring the Western thing here. This is Africa, we have family values’ If there is nobody in Parliament that God has positioned, the voice…our challenge is that we have many who claim to be Church people and they are sitting down almost…I’m sorry to use the word, Jesus called Herod a fox. Church Gist. There are some of them that are like dumbasses that can speak nothing in defense of God and His Church. They will just be sleeping and the laws are passing over their heads. Things are signed, they are not aware. For as long as their money enters their pocket. They get a brand new car and get 200 million or 100 million. ‘What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole World and loses his soul?’
– Are you following what I’m saying here today?
Voices for the Kingdom. So, God positions people, He gives them money, He gives influence, He gives them position so that when it is time for God’s cause to be defended, they can speak up. Church Gist. Esther said, ‘I am about to go meet the King, it’s not according to custom, but if I perish, I perish’ Of what use is life without impact? ‘If I die, let me die’ But she couldn’t perish. That was Esther.
Our second example is Nehemiah. Nehemiah was in the Palace when the news reached him about the deplorable situation of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 1:1-6. ‘Anything we did, forgive us’ He prayed and prayed. Nehemiah 2:1-5. ‘So I prayed to the God Heaven’ ‘Lord give me quick utterance’ That is the prayer at the speed of thought. Did you hear the distance between when the King said ‘What do you want?’ and the gap between when he said ‘I prayed to the God of Heaven’ and the gap between when he began to answer the King? He had not moved to the Closet to pray, the prayer happened there. That is prayer, intercession, supplication, at the speed of thought. We don’t have the time to read. Church Gist. Furthermore, the King said ‘Alright, I have sent you. What would you need? Any money you need, any timber you need, military security you need, I will give you everything to go’. That is how to use influence. Not distributing complimentary cards, ‘I work in the White House’ How white has the Church become by your work in the White House? ‘I work in the Presidential Castle. I work in the Presidential Villa’ How has it influenced the Church? ‘I am a millionaire. I am a billionaire’ How has it impacted the Church?
One of our young men met me, the guy I told you about that gave the only 50,000 naira that he was saving. Do you remember the story? And 2 weeks later, 100 million job came, he got 29 million and now he is in his billions. He came to me he said, “One of his friends met him and said that he has a land that the Church is trying to price in a particular state in this Country”. He said our Church is trying to price that land to buy it. So the friend was telling him that he is negotiating with our Church about a property and that they are yet to agree on the price…that he only came to ask me because he happened to hear it from his friend. Church Gist. Just to confirm whether the Church actually needs the land. That if we do, we should stop the negotiation, he will finalize with him and pay him. That is, he heard by accident that the Church wants to buy land and so it is his friend that wants to sell it, “Church, hands down, I’ll buy it.” Am I communicating at all? This is why God positions people in money, positions people in influence, so that when you hear about the Church, you don’t need any advice to step forward and do what needs to be done.
Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate. Matthew 27:57. He demanded for the body of Jesus Christ when Peter was looking for where to hide, when Thomas is doubting that anything happened, when Judas is crying and is trying to kill himself, when Nathaniel and Bartholomew and all of them, nobody knows where they are. Church Gist. Everybody is afraid of being caught. If you identify that you know him and then you are crucified along. It was that climate of fear, of sorrow, of gloom that Joseph of Arimathea marched with audacity to Pilate and said, “I am the disciple of this Man. Me! If any disciple is hiding, I am not hiding. Pilate, you know we meet in town hall meetings”…and Pilate said, “It’s alright, He’s your master? Why didn’t you tell me on time? I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sorry but the pressure was too much from everywhere. I don’t know why people hated him so much, I’m sorry Joe, I’m sorry. But what can we do Joe?” (Joseph replied) “I need the body, I don’t want it hanging there, I need the body”. The Bible says, “Pilate commanded”. There is a way Joseph of Arimathea was, for his request to require a command. Pilate commanded, he commanded. He gave an executive order that is not subject to senate approval. “Hand him over the body now!” And the body was delivered to Joseph…and boy Joe carried this body and took it to his own sepulcher and buried him.
This is what God does when he places people on top, so that when people that are under are hiding their heads, those who are billionaire influencers, those who are territorial commanders can arrive and say, “I am a Christian. I am born again. I speak in tongues. I go to Church. I pay my tithe and I have no apology.” One man was in a business meeting and the time I gave him for us to see elapsed, he told the business people, he said, “I am on my way to my pastor.” (They said), “Pastor?” He said, “Yes, I have a meeting with him now”. (They replied) “Really, won’t we finish this meeting?” He said, “Meeting with him is the prosperity of this meeting”. Church Gist. The same person, another time, he said, “I am going to my pastor now”. One of the people that work with him controlling billions said, “In that case, let me follow you, you’ve been saying that I want to see my pastor, let me follow you to this your pastor”. He brought him and that will lead me to another point. This is the point, he brought him and when I looked at the man, he introduced him and I knew the man is controlling billions from the introduction…and I said, “You know what? You need Jesus Christ”. He sat straight on his seat and then I said, “Life is only meaningful with Jesus Christ. A time comes when there is no money that can save you.” He shook on his seat. I said, “I will like to pray with you to surrender your life to Christ”. He said, “Yes sir” (and I said) “Go on his knees.” I led him to Christ on the spot. By the time I finished talking with them, his friend asked him to wait for him outside. He said (referring to his friend), “Thank you sir, I have been struggling on how to lead him to Christ, I have been praying for him, I have been struggling on how to lead him to Christ, you have made the work easy for me”. I told him, I said, “Your own work now is follow up, this is my number, contact me if you have any need.” Not that I’ll contact you if I have a need. Are you understanding what I’m talking about? That will take me to another point. Praise the Lord!
Look at your neighbor say, “I need to stand for the Kingdom, so I must be up.” Wake up! Wake up!! Wake up!!! Somebody stand upon your feet. Church Gist. Say it louder, say, “I need to be a voice for the Kingdom, I need to be a force for the Kingdom, so I must be up, I must be above only so when the need arises, I can speak up for God, I can speak up for the Kingdom.” You believe that shout the loudest Amen! (Take your seat in the presence of the Lord.)
6. To influence and impact people of influence and authority for God.
That is what I just mentioned, this man’s influence was able to help influence his friend for God. You know it takes influence to approach influence. It takes authority to approach authority. If you don’t have authority, you approach authorities with inferiority. Church Gist. If you are not an authority, when you hang around the climate of authority, you can be overwhelmed with inferiority. But when you are an authority, spiritual authority, financial authority, you approach authorities with authority…and it is easy. It’s easy for a professor to reason with a professor about God and the Gospel because the other professor may be doubting. It’s easy for a billionaire to tell a billionaire about God.
One man sat in the first class cabin of an aircraft sometime back and he told me the story, he said a man sat with him and he said to the man…he’s a born-again Christian, child of God, property dealer somewhere in the World…and he said the man sat with him and he said he looked at the man and said, “You know what…good afternoon, that both of us are seating together means we have many things in common. Church Gist. You must be an influential person who has a lot of substance. So we have a lot of things in common but it is likely that I have something you don’t have. I have a relationship with Jesus, I am born again child of God, what of you?” Just blunt like that, raw. From that angle, he took off in leading the man…talking to the man about God.
If we don’t have people up (at the top), then the top becomes a mission field with no missionaries. If we don’t have billionaires in the billionaires’ realm, then the billionaires’ realm has become a mission field with no missionaries. If we don’t have military generals in the Military Generals’ realm, then we have military generals in a mission field with no missionaries. Do you understand what I’m saying? But thank God we have plenty of them. After your (referring to a man there) senior division in Jaji (Armed Forces Command and Staff College), they were meant to do a get-together (to rejoice for graduation and passing out from the course). They were saying that at the get-together, they are going to offer alcohol and everybody is to donate towards it. Church Gist. But he told them, it’s okay for people to donate towards it but if alcohol will be served, my money will not be inside. So, after a while, they all looked at it and said, “Well, what is the use of the alcohol anyway? No need.” Everybody changed their mind. So for that particular get-together, there was no alcohol. (You remember now?) You know there are some things that you will tell me that I will remind you (My brain is an electric brain.) Hallelujah!
It takes authority to relate with authority. How many of us want us to have a mission field among the billionaires without missionaries? Somebody say, God forbid! Church Gist. That’s why you are going up! That is why you are going up!! If you are going up and you believe it shout the loudest Amen! Lift your hands and your voice and say, “Father, I am available, in that realm above only as a missionary to the people in that realm. Here am I Lord, use me”. Give the Lord praise and take your seat.
I am excited because what I am saying now, I have a lot of witnesses here. Was it yesterday you showed me the job offer (One of us here, seated right here) he said the job offer has come for a contract (10 figures). In the course of this Conference, the paper met him here. Church Gist. Right here! On this ground, that came to sit down for the… Even arrived for the Conference before it started. Sitting! Ola! Ola! So as I am speaking now it occurs to me that we have witnesses that are occupying the realm up…and many more are being recruited today that will occupy the realm up! Occupy the realm up!!!
– Every trace of scarcity and poverty and empty-handedness today. I declare it is broken!
Say Amen like a believer! A louder believers’ Amen!
Now, you remember the Queen of Sheba. 1 Kings 10:1-10, she came all the way and Solomon impacted her with wisdom. In 1 Kings 10:23-24, we see how Solomon was practically discipling kings. What wisdom is that? That Solomon was teaching the kings of Arabia, the kings of the Hittites, the kings of Syria, the kings of the Ammonites. Church Gist. What wisdom? Proverbs 1:1. Proverbs 3:1. Proverbs 10. Ecclesiastes, Songs of Solomon. The wisdom that Solomon wrote that we can see, were (the) wisdom Solomon was using to disciple kings including many that may not have been written.
-And so, God is about to make some of us here disciples of kings, disciples of rulers, disciples of billionaires.
Solomon was in that Realm. And I’m sure you know that kings fraternize with kings. Acts 25:13-14. In the trial of Paul, the Apostle; King Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to Salute Festus. And it was in their presence that Paul was brought. He said: ‘There is a prisoner here, help me hear him’. So, they move in their cycles. In fact, in certain quarters, they marry each other’s children. Am I communicating? So they move in their cycles, so it becomes very easy for the influence to happen. That is why we need people up so that there can be missionaries at the topmost level.
-Somebody say a loud ‘Amen’!
7. To disciple institutions and organizations for God.
And I want to emphasize this very seriously: To disciple institutions and organizations for God. This is not the general societal influence now, this is organizational discipleship – Organizational, institutional discipleship where you are practically discipling the people that are on your payroll. Hear me well, you are practically discipling the people that are on your payroll. Somebody is saying: ‘Is that not segregation’? No!!!! If you like me, you like the work that I do and you like what brought me to this level, then you must hear about my God. And I will tell you what God said concerning Abraham. Genesis 18:17-19. I want you to understand something, when you hear household, you may be thinking like family as we talk about today, it is different. When God said, ‘Abraham will command his children’, that took care of his immediate family. When He said: ‘His household’, it means anybody that is eating food from his effort. Anybody that is feeding through Abraham’s enterprise. You see? How do I know? Genesis 14:14 told us how children that were born in Abraham’s house… That is: ‘Household’ – Servants, employees raised in his house under his cover – 318! That is, of all the people that are under his roof, 318 of them! He recruited them into the Army. That made his household! When the Bible talked about Job, He said he had a great household. Isaac, a great household! Isaac, how many children does Isaac have? He had Esau and Jacob. Was there any other child? Yet the Bible talked about (how) he had a great household. Genesis 26:14-16. Now, this is the point I am going! God is saying that Abraham will not appeal to his employees, he will command! He will command his household to keep the Law of His God. The staff are under the command to know his God. Somebody is saying: ‘Is there no freedom of choice’? There is freedom to choose God.
I want somebody’s mentality to change so that you don’t just take care of people’s welfare on Earth and under your watch, they go to hell. You employ them, pay them salary, pay their children’s school fees, assisted them, at the end they ended in hell fire. Church Gist. What was the use of your employee force? All employers of labour take note. You won’t come to the point where you will say, (so that you’re not misinterpreted) but you’re forceful in the declaration of your faith and in your demand for them to know God and know him genuinely.
Queen of Sheba said to Solomon, “happy are these thy servants that stand and hear your wisdom.” What is the wisdom? I just told you: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Songs of Solomon. Anything that took you to work for Solomon you must hear Proverbs – “wine is a mocker; if you like keep on drinking.” Church Gist. Anything that makes you to work for Solomon you must continually hear the book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes – “vanity upon vanity, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep his commandments.” You must hear it over and over and over or you resign. You must be at the morning devotion, midday prayer. Otherwise, may be this place is not the place for your work.
We have a brother in this Church – “Career And Work Place Wisdom,” he ordered it for all his workers. That book is loaded with wisdom of the work place. If they catch you randomly (in the work place) and they say, “what is wisdom 15?” you don’t know it you’re gone! If you say you have another religion, “why are you here?” – according to his own operation. All principles are parallel; it works for any religion you are.
Church Gist. One day he brought some of his staff for me to pray for them on the Altar. He began to talk to them so that he can confirm what I said, “what is wisdom 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 – (till the end)?” All of them chorused it – from their head. There are people here who don’t know the book even. One of our bank ladies went to the top position by that book.
Now, this command is not against their interest; it is in their interest. It is in their interest to know their maker, to make Heaven at the end. If a mother has to force the mouth of a child open and put Quinine inside and the child is screaming, is it out of hatred for the child? Church Gist. Pure unadulterated love – “this child must be rescued.” That is how this command is. It’s not a malicious command, it is a loving command. That is, God brought you my way so that you can get saved. God brought you my way because he knows, if you come across me you must be saved.
One day one of my relations came, he was going to school and he asked for school fees or pocket money and I gave to him. I said, “you know, what I’m giving you now can finish but there is something you should ask me to give you which you haven’t asked and I haven’t given. That is your salvation.” Church Gist. He said, yes Sir. I said, I’m not under pressure giving you money but what if I give you money and you end in hell at the end? Go on your knees, lift your hands. You’re ready to surrender your life?” Oh, urgently – he replied. He gave his life to Christ, he has not turned back since then may be 20 years ago.
I have a cousin who is a Muslim; I paid his way through school. I preached to him, he was not convinced. I gave him books to read, he was not convinced. He said the book is very interesting, exciting. “Can we pray?” He said, not yet. But I’m okay; Heaven has borne record that I have planted seed. Church Gist. I didn’t say I won’t pay your school fees until you give your life – I can’t say that, I won’t do that. I sent him till he finished, became a graduate, went for Youth Service. Am I communicating at all? But God and Heaven knows you have done what you are meant to do.
– Somebody say a loud Amen!
Did somebody get anything here today?
Pastors, I want you to tell the members of the Church, the things you are hearing, so that everyone that would be positioned in places of influence, will not mismanage authority and abuse influence and begin to behave like ‘Unbeliever money miss road’ Right? Oppressing people everywhere with money and position and they think that is what it means to be rich. We must not allow the unbelievers (to) set the pace for us. Church Gist. They don’t know the reason why they are where they are. We know the reason why we are where we are and we must set the pace for them.
– Somebody shout the loudest Amen!
Have I already reached number 8? No. Why did you write number 8? (Referring to the media unit) I am the One talking the talk. I’m not sure I have reached number 8. Please, give us the accurate number. I want them…correct yourself. To disciple institutions and organisations for God.
Now, let’s go through it one by one and then we shall be through any moment now. The first thing, why is God taking people up? Read it out loud.
1: To bring maximum honour and glory to the Almighty.
2: To assume the command, control and rulership of the Earth on behalf of our God.
3: To administer the resources of the Father for His cause on the Earth.
4: To be positioned to influence the lives of multitudes of people in society for God.
5: To be positioned as voices for the Kingdom in times of need.
6: To influence and impact people of influence and authority for God
7: To disciple institutions and organisations for God.
And finally 8: To position Kingdom people in positions of influence…that the Billionaire will raise Kingdom people to top levels in his realm so that Kingdom people can collectively incorporate governance, administer the affairs of organisations.
Somebody say ‘Is it not acting like the unbelievers, like placing your people around you?’ Not necessarily your people. Not necessarily your tribal people. Kingdom people. Daniel did that. Daniel 2:48,49. Know (that) everything is in the Bible. When you rise and nobody rises with you, that rise is fake. Church Gist. It is not authentic. It is not genuine. When you go up and all your brethren, all the brethren are down, it is not correct. You are the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, another of your brothers, tongue talking, Holy Ghost filled, child of God is the Chief Operating Officer. Another one who carries integrity is the Chief Financial Officer. Right? Another one around you is this, is that. When it is fasting and prayer in January, all of you are involved in the fast together. Nobody has any other agenda. When it is time to go for evangelism, you all go together. Everybody has the same agenda, Kingdom agenda. The Kingdom is established. They are using Kingdom principles to make the Organisation run like fire and the impact of the Kingdom on their lives is translated into the Kingdom. The Chief Executive Officer is building 10 Churches a year, 20 Churches a year, from his finances. The Chief Operation Officer is building like 5 a year from his own funds coming to him and so on and so forth. It is like an octopus operation. It’s like a spread. Everybody is rising and then the influence is spreading like fire. Am I communicating? That is how the Jews do it.
There are some people, the only person that comes to Church among them in his entire organisation is himself. His secretary is a witch. His accountant is in the occult. His treasurer is in another realm. He is such a nice person. ‘I just don’t want to discriminate’ They will soon kill you and take over the whole place. Oh yes…and they will be troubling the Pastor with prayer surrounded with the wrong people and holding unto this…when they come to Church, the people will wait for them outside…and they are their closest friend, their closest confidant at work.
One man, a young man, rising up very well. He had overseen money already in billions – young man. One day he came and he said I should pray for him and I brought him to the Altar. As I was praying for him, the next person to him, I looked at him, my spirit was troubled on the spot…and I’m to pray for his people and his company and his organization on the Altar here. Church Gist. Troubled and worried. At the end, I called him and I said, “Who is that person (that is, your secretary or whatever his assistant, I think chief of something) the next person to him”. He said, “He is so and so”. I said, “He’s a dangerous man. Do you know him? Does he go to Church?” He said, “I think so, he says he worships somewhere”. I said, “Be careful with him, do your best and just watch him”. (I was advising too late.)
In less than four weeks, this man crashed him. He did some financial fraud that money was being withdrawn from his account, 50 million in rapid successions. Before he could get to the Bank…and this man was administering people’s money. Church Gist. He hasn’t recovered. I trust that God will help him…so, they position snakes around themselves, they position serpents around themselves. Daniel was wise he said, “Sir I don’t want to sit here alone, Babylon is filled with magicians, astrologers, stargazers, necromancers, witches and wizards.” If you have brought me here, I’ll need these people around.
So, he was surrounded by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Anything that escaped Shadrach cannot escape Meshach. If it escapes Meshach, Abednego will nail it down. Stand up on your feet people. If Daniel did not ask, may be they would have appointed a sorcerer as his secretary. A stargazer as his P.A (personal assistant). A witch as his financial controller. He would have been in the midst of demons. Church Gist. In our place they say if you say one, say the other. If they appoint you because you are of the Kingdom and you mess up, God will deal with you because it’s a betrayal, not of the confidence of the man but a betrayal of Kingdom principle (a betrayal of the Kingdom)…because they now say, “This Man is from my Church and then appointed you as the Chief Operation Officer or the Chief Financial Officer” and you are the one who finally killed him, (you) ran the whole thing down. (They now say) “I know you from Church”…but judgment, you can’t escape it. I’m not prophesying, it’s reality. If you doubt it ask Judas Iscariot. When people are trusted and they betray, they don’t escape it. Ask Judas. So anytime you have been entrusted, because somebody is taken up there and the person feels, since you are a Kingdom person, he should bring you close to himself, just over-deliver. Go above board. Go extra. Go the extra mile to confirm that the person did not make a mistake.
Some people avoid brethren because of experiences of time past because of what they experienced in the hands of others, how they tried to help somebody else and the person blocked them and then took the job they were meant to (have). Somebody say a loud Amen! But when you go up, please do your best to go up with people. Church Gist. Everything that I know concerning these matters is what I’m teaching you. If there is something that I know more that I haven’t taught you, I’m sure God is aware of that. Nothing on this subject I’m telling you now that I’m not telling you, for the purpose of all of us going up. Are you following me? So I want you to do likewise and I believe in a short time…you know, in a place like Microsoft and those organizations, you don’t have just the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) as a billionaire but other billionaires. (We have) the Billionaire co-founder, Billionaire Chief Executive on the Board, millionaires and billionaires at various levels. Oh yes!
So, you rise, you empower others to rise. Position them around you, with sensitivity, with perception. Don’t ever be afraid of an Orpah that will betray you because, for every Orpah, there is a Ruth that will not leave. Church Gist. Because if you look at everybody like Orpah, you will miss out on your Ruth…and if you look at everybody as if they are Ruth, you’ll be damaged by Orpah. So you maintain a balance. Hallelujah!

In Jesus’ precious name! At times people look for extreme expertise to position in places and they are unable to find them among the brethren. Am I communicating? That was why the talk of yesterday was too necessary. Excellence! Take yourself to the highest level of what you do because a brother is looking, he wants somebody from the Church and the Office has a job description as well as qualifications for that position and he couldn’t find; he hasn’t interviewed anybody from the Church who meets up the qualification. Church Gist. This is a major, major issue, that is why we must keep on developing ourselves. Like Daniel, Queen Esther surrounded herself with maidens, assistance of different areas that could fast for four days without food. Those were not just people who are looking for the new ‘mascara’, ‘eye shadow’, ‘neck shadow’, ‘nose shadow’. Those were spiritual atomic bombs. ‘I and my maidens will fast’, that was their habit. If it were something they were doing for the first time it would be a herculean task, this is their normal life. She went to the Palace and took with her to the Palace, prayer machines as officers around her. The Bible is complete in everything oo, very complete!
——-PRAYER——
Whenever somebody is to go up, especially in royalty, the oil is poured on their head. 1 Samuel 10:1. 1 Samuel 16:13.
-Today, something, the oil of royalty, oil for the top is coming upon you!
—–WORSHIP, PRAYERS AND ANOINTING—–
If you are from a family where they placed a limitation on your lineage, an embargo where they say, nobody important, nobody great and nobody influential can come out of there.
-By the reason of this anointing of royalty, I declare that embargo is lifted! That yoke is broken!
-The top place in your calling, top place in your profession, top place in your business, the top place in your career, the top place! That is your place. Church Gist.
There are people, there is greatness in your lineage but an ancestor, a grandfather, a father sacrificed the greatness and the future of the children. Just decided to be great and so that nobody could be great anymore.
-Today, that covenant is broken! That yoke is broken! That crown that is meant for your head, I declare! Receive it now!
-That garment of royalty that is meant for your life and your body, receive it now. Receive the Spirit of excellence, authority, dominion, rulership and influence in the name of Jesus!
-I decree a new day!! I decree a new season! I decree a fresh help.
On your return from where you have come, it will be clear that a king just arrived! Church Gist. A queen just arrived! Royalty just arrived!
-Everyone who is royalty, (who) is being undermined, attacked by an infirmity. A sickness in your body, a disease, a cycle. Church Gist. Today, I declare it is crushed! Fresh fire! Fresh oil! Fresh grace! So shall it be in the name of the Father and of the Son! And of the Holy Ghost!
