*Anybody praising me is just expressing his opinion. It won’t blow my head because if you praise anything in me, it is Jesus.
*We have never doctored any testimony in this place. Even after my time on earth is over, we will never doctor a testimony to make it sweet.

Somebody came in here 1996, she met the Matthew 6:33 fire burning, she hooked on to it. The fire changed gear in 2015, she connected: all round rest!
In the midst of lock down, 300% increase from the previous job, a job the person never applied for (documented testimony).
Please note as I said last week, “every revival is ordained a platform for the full restoration of our redemptive dignity through spiritual labour.”
Valley of very dry bones behold the bones were very dry and then the spirit of God moved; there arose from that same valley an exceedingly great army. At the instance of a revival, the very dry, worthless bones were turned into an exceedingly great army. That is revival for you, it is ordained a spiritual platform for the full restoration of our redemptive dignity.
You won’t see shame again!
You won’t know shame again!
God that decorates the faithful, will decorate you.
God that gives all round rest to the restless, will give you rest.

UNDERSTANDING THE DEMANDS OF PROFITABLE STEWARDSHIP
It’s very important for us to recognise that every revival season provides an open-ended platform for spiritual platform; it is available to anyone who is interested.

We saw some great revivals in scriptures, among them we have the 2 Chronicles revival (2 Chronicles 15).
They were in crisis and a prophetic Word came in 2 Chronicles 15:7. Revival time is work time
Haggai 2:4 – we saw this prophetic revival in Haggai 2:3.
Every revival places a demand of spiritual labour on whosoever is interested in it to be a partaker of the blessing thereof.
We saw this revival chapter in Habakkuk 3:2,13,17-19. It is for the restoration of our redemptive dignity.

This is our season we must take advantage of: God is translating, transforming and transfiguring destinies in this season. You are hearing the testimonies.
I’m going to say it again; we have never doctored any testimony in this Ministry since inception:
“Let’s make this testimony sweeter; let’s extend it”;
“Let’s assume he is not the only one who was saved, that the whole household was saved.“ No;
“Let’s assume he just got up immediately.” No, he said, he got up after 2 weeks. So, put the 2 weeks there, that’s what he wrote.
If we touch anything in the testimony, it’s the grammar. That we change the context of a testimony…Even after my time on earth is over, it will not happen in this place, so whatsoever you hear from here is the truth as told as by the Testifiers. Because you will testify this year. You won’t have to extend it, it will be colourful in its raw state.

You and I have a root of greatness in redemption (Luke 1:31-32). Giants don’t give birth to dwarfs: you have a common Father, you are joint heirs with Jesus. You can’t be the son of the Highest and live the lowest life, so we have a root of greatness in redemption (Genesis 12:2-3, Galatians 3:29).
Isaac – Genesis 26:12-14,
How does the greatness emerge? Matthew 23:11-12, Luke 22:27. His greatness demands stewardship, servanthood. There is nothing in doing nothing.
If you are too big, you are too big to be saved, you are too big for heaven, you must have somewhere else you are going.
There is nothing in doing nothing. All through scriptures, stewardship is the highway to greatness (Luke 22:26). We need to be acquainted with what does it take for my stewardship to be profitable and deliver its ultimate purpose which is the full restoration of my redemptive dignity among which is greatness: great health, great family, great career, great children, great prosperity. That’s our redemptive heritage and a revival time, just like an exceeding great army came out of the valley of dry bones, it’s ordained to be a season of full restoration of our redemptive dignity.
That’s why God is lifting people to places where they least imagined. You are the next in line.

Isaac sowed in that line, he wasn’t waiting, he wasn’t watching. He sowed in that land and received in same year a hundredfold (Genesis 26:12-13). There has to be investment before there will be dividends.

1. We must serve God faithfully
It’s required of stewards that a man be found faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2). It’s a covenant requirement. You cannot be fruitful in stewardship except you are faithful in your engagement. Jesus was faithful in all… and He is still fruitful today.
Many are going to be saved today through the faithfulness of Jesus 2000 years ago.

But a faithful man, who can find? We have many ‘faceful’ people, eye service, ‘make dem see me kind of service’. God knows there will be eye service people.
Matthew 24:45-46. Faithfulness is the requirement for guaranteed returns on our stewardship.
Proverbs 20:6

Somebody is in Abu Dhabi (documented testimony), faithfulness will make God find you wherever you are.

2. We must serve God cheerfully: ‘smilingly’, joyfully, excitedly all of the time. You don’t freeze your face.
“they said we should pray, otherwise I have quite a number of things doing now. In fact, my kind of profession requires time, but if you don’t pray, they will say you are not a Winner. Lord, I’m praying now because I’m a Winner.”

No, God is not depending on you to pray. If He doesn’t find you, His own Hand will bring salvation. If God ever depended on man, He would have stopped being God.

This Church planting, our hand is not in it; that’s the only way I can say it.
One of the State Pastors spoke to me last night, he said, “we have just cleared the facilities for 51 new Churches next Sunday.”
I said: How are you doing it?
He said: I don’t know too.

Whether you now pray for Church planting or you don’t pray, it’s your cup of tea. He has decided to and has bound Himself with an oath. The same way God has bound with an oath to make this year your breaking limit year if you will respond to the demands thereof.

Do you know we have not reminded anyone on MAS in this world? That your Mission Adoption Scheme? Even you and myself, we are adopted; what’s your adoption going to do to God? He said, “the silver is mine, the gold is mine, saith the Lord” (Haggai 2:8).

By the grace of God, I’m the President and Leader of this Ministry; I have not given one demand on this wave of Church planting; “hello sir, we’ll need something!” Not one.
We’ve not been consulted.
That’s how great your God is in bringing His Word to pass in your life. Every single prophetic Word in your direction will deliver openly this year.

We must keep serving God cheerfully. God sent me a message, 1976 in Deuteronomy 28:47-48. For not serving God joyfully: you think I’m disturbing you, you see Me as a burden. I came to bless you. You drag your feet, frown your face, fight everybody you see on the road. In your service group, you are a concern.
They say, “go there”;
You would say, “no, this is where I want to go. Stop that ooo, if not because we are in the service group, in my office can you come near me and tell me to go to somewhere? I’m not going anywhere! If not for Church, can people like you be talking to me at all. Do you know my status? Go and find out.”
Did they beg you to join?
I told you, if I ever preach a message where there is no laughter, don’t listen to it. I’ve been laughing like this 1976 till forever. Since I found Matthew 6:33, I’ve been laughing at the devil, smiling as I serve. You insult me, I enjoy it. You insult me and I stopped going to work because you insulted me, I will be a big fool.
I am going to work and you say, “see his leg”
Response: Yes, I thank God for my leg
“See his nose”
Response: He (God) made it and He did it beautifully.
“See how short he is”
Response: That’s the size He made me for so I can save more cloths.

He that sitteth in Heaven shall laugh (Psalm 2:4). If you are not laughing, you are not one of them sitting in Heaven because in Heaven, he that sits there laughs and we are seated in Heavenly places, what should we do? Laugh
As you serve: laugh
As they insult you: laugh
As they mock you: laugh
As they abuse you: laugh

Anybody insulting me is wasting his mouth:
1. I didn’t hear (the insult).
2. Even if I heard it, it won’t pain me
Anybody praising me is just expressing his opinion
1. I didn’t hear it and if I heard, it won’t blow my head because if you praise anything in me, it is Jesus. The greater in me is the One you are praising and you think I’m the one.

Thank God for the privilege of stewardship. Ask God for grace to maximize this awesome season in your life. God is changing people’s stories, He has you in mind. You are on your way to your high places, that’s what revival offers. Great health, great strength, great career, great vocation, great family, great children, great grandchildren.

The day is declared your day.
You are breaking forth on every side.
It’s your day of testimonies. It’s your day of breaking forth.
This revival season will be a most memorable one in your life.
Everything will be happening in your favour.
Everything will be speaking in your favour.
When you serve Him, He said, “I will honour you.” When God honours, shame and reproach clear out. You won’t see shame again; you won’t see reproach again.
The day is blessed, as a day of good news. No mishaps, everything is working in your favour in the name of Jesus.

Speak to the day: Here I come, with the grace of God upon my life.
