HE DOESN’T HAVE MONEY OR JOBS IN HEAVEN TO GIVE YOU BUT WHAT HE IMPARTS INTO YOU IS THE SPIRIT.
THE SPIRIT WILL GUIDE YOU, LEAD YOU AND GIVE YOU PROPHETIC POWER FOR MANIFESTATION.
THERE’S NO NEED TO GIVE YOURSELF A TITLE, IF THE SPIRIT IS POURED FORTH IN YOUR HEART, WHAT IS INSIDE WILL COME OUT.
BEFORE ANY MANIFESTATION HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE, THE JOY OF THAT THING MUST BE SEEN IN YOU.
FAITH DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU TELL PEOPLE EVERYTHING. THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT A PROJECT, THE LESS LIKELY IT HAPPENS.
- Pastor Poju Oyemade on THE MANIFESTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT at the Global Impact Church || Recharge Conference || Evening Session || Day 2 || 7th July, 2022.
Hallelujah!
Let’s just lift up our hands and say a word of prayer:
Father, we thank You for this house. We thank You for the clear evidence of Your Spirit that rests upon this house. Thank You for blessing and visiting this house and I ask in the name of Jesus that You grant unto me utterance by that same Spirit, that I speak under the authority of the vision of this house, interpreting the dream for this Conference and communicating it effectively, that Your Word goes forth unhindered by any demonic force, in simplicity but in accuracy and with power, in Jesus Mighty name!
Amen.
I am not quite politically diplomatic or correct when I speak like this and I want to thank you for inviting me, but I must tell you that, there are few people in ministry that can make me do what your Pastor has made me to do. He is someone I respect immensely; I was to conduct a wedding for a friend for 30 years today, but when time was going, I had to tell other Pastor that, “Look, I have a meeting I have to go for and I had to leave the wedding.” Church Gist. Bishop Wale Oke called me this evening and said, “So, you are in Abuja?” I said, no. He said, “How come you’re not in Abuja?” I said, “Pastor Yemi Davids has a meeting, I am here with him in Lagos.” So, he is somebody I respect immensely; if you want to know somebody in ministry, that is a sounding board for me if I want to make decisions that affect Kingdom issues in the Body of Christ. He is very balanced, mature and we are in sync. I was debating with some ministers yesterday, I said, Pastor Yemi Davids is my point, you people don’t understand. Alright, so we are in sync and we believe that with that partnership, the Lord will have us do great things together in future.
Also, Pastor Bimbo, thank you very much. God bless you.
This evening, because I was listening to the whole message and you know, there’s Benin-Warri axis anointing. There’s an anointing that came into this country and because of Archbishop Idahosa’s presence, so angels are still around in that area. So, there’s a voice that they have when they come from that place, very strong voice. I won’t tell you what we suffered when we were in Campus in the hands of our UniBen brethren, but that is for another day; very spiritual people. Church Gist. We went for a meeting in Benin, we were invited by friends of ours and we got to the meeting from university of Lagos and it was time to pray and we got into the meeting; the way they were praying, we said, what is going on? And you see them like a traffic warden; go this way, stop, demonstration, they were roaring, some people were hugging themselves and everybody was demonstrating all kinds.
So after that, when we got to our rooms, what is happening? They said, it was an interpretation of the tongues, so the person who was doing authority was commanding demons to leave. I said, okay, this one is beyond that.
So, it is a Recharge Conference and this kind of meeting in the middle of the year is to refire our faith, to get us recharged for the thing that lies ahead and I will speak on the subject of ‘The Holy Spirit’ because I believe that He is the One who recharges, who refires and who energizes us in our Christian walk (John 7:37-39). Church Gist. There were three feasts in the scripture and these feasts have exact parallels in the New Testament. The first feast they used to celebrate in the Nation of Israel was the feast of Passover and that was the feast that they celebrated on the same day in which the Nation of Israel came out of Egypt and they sacrificed the Passover for them to get out.
In the New Testament, in 1 Corinthians, it says, Christ our Passover has been sacrificed, therefore let us keep this feast free of the leaven of malic and wickedness. So, there is a spiritual parallel to that particular feast in the New Testament.
The second feast was the feast of what you call first fruit, or it was called the feast of Pentecost and it happened 50 days after the Passover, so Pentecost means 50 and then, in the New Testament, the Bible tells us when the day of Pentecost was fully come, the Holy Spirit was poured forth into the hearts of people and that is why we are called Pentecostals. Church Gist. If you have experienced that, you are called the Pentecostal; if you’ve only experienced the first phase, you are called an Evangelical. But there’s a third feast that we believe the Body of Christ is going to enter into in its fullness and it was the last day of that feast that Jesus cried out and said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. In other words, it is a feast that is not just about the one time baptism of the Spirit, but a continuous infilling of the Spirit that has now been made available unto us. Not just a one-time event, but a continuous thing.
In other words, in Acts 4, when they threatened Peter and John, they ran back to their company, they reported what had been done, they offered their prayers unto God (Acts 4:31-32) and they were filled with the Holy Ghost; a fresh infilling of the Spirit of God and they spoke the Word with boldness and everything turned and changed as there was that fresh infilling.
So, when we talk about recharge, we are talking about receiving a fresh infilling of the Spirit and understanding the principle of the continuous infilling of the Spirit. If you are faced with a situation, the first thing you should seek for is an infilling of the Spirit, so that you can even interpret that situation correctly. Church Gist.
Isaiah 55:1-2
Without the infilling of the Spirit, you may be spending money, trying to get things done but still, you will not reach the very things you want. God has made these things easy, we are the ones that made Christianity difficult. Christianity begins with the Spirit and it is perfected by the Spirit (Galatians 16). So quickly this evening, I want to talk about beginning in the Spirit and then, perfecting it by the Spirit.
So, if you are in a place in your life today, that you are thirsty, what this means is that, when you look around yourself, you still desire more of God’s presence and power; you do not believe what is success (success means what is happening on your outside matches what you are having on the inside). Success is not me comparing myself to somebody else. I can be much larger on the outside than somebody else, but yet, my calling demands a greater manifestation of certain things in my life than it is going on now.
Now, because nobody knows the nudgings of my heart and nobody knows the things of mind, they will be congratulating me that I am very successful, yet on the inside of myself, I am totally dissatisfied. Success is making satisfactory progress; the progress that you are making matches the vision that you have inside your heart. Church Gist. So, what people say to you as to how well you are doing or how this or that doesn’t really register in the spirit of people. Spiritual people can’t be taken by those things, because even if you say you are doing well, as you leave the person, there will be a conviction inside the heart of that person, that I am not where I am supposed to be in. So, if you are in that kind of space, I want to show you simple steps that you can take. It won’t come by the brilliant of ideas, it won’t come first of all by expenditure of energy or money, it starts by the Spirit of God.
So, the first thing God wants from you, it says, if you are thirsty, come up to me and drink. Which means, come and drink first of my Spirit. There is a prayer in scripture that cannot be denied. It is a prayer that Jesus was referring to when he said, “ask and you shall receive, for he that asketh will receive. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened up unto you” (Isaiah 32:14-15). Church Gist. In other words, in six months time, there will be such dramatic changes that people will come and meet you; this place, you life didn’t look like this, you are almost unrecognizable and you will say, I was in that condition until the Spirit was poured forth, for when the Spirit was poured forth, He is pouring forth water upon a dry ground. What I am trying to tell you is that, some of you have visions; you’ve called yourself by some names (God didn’t call you by those names), those visions are not really the visions. When the Holy Spirit comes, it is like you pour water on a dry ground; it is after water has been poured in dry ground, we will know what is inside the ground. If you keep pouring water on a dry ground, after some time, things will begin to grow, then you know that,” You mean all these were here?” If you keep pouring the Spirit into your heart, things will begin to pop out of you that you yourself didn’t know what’s inside you.
I have had seasons where I have experienced strong moves of the Spirit and I can tell you one thing about it; in six months, you will be doing things you will be doing in the last six months. There’s no need to give yourself a title, if the Spirit is poured forth in your heart, what is inside will come out. When it comes out, if you are teacher, people will call you a teacher. In other words, there’s no need, people themselves will come and start calling you by the name that God called you. So, we want to begin in the Spirit and then show how to perfect it, also by the Spirit, because the Church was born as a result of an outpouring of the Spirit and I don’t think that morning, Peter when they woke up knew three thousand people would be saved in the evening.
Once there’s a move of the Holy Ghost, what interferes with the move of the Holy Spirit is our will; what we want to do, what we think should be done (Luke 11:9-10). Have you ever thought about it, that Paul prayed with Silas and they sang praises and that night, the doors were opened up and Paul came out; everywhere shook. Church Gist. Do you know that by that, you have discovered the keys to opening up prison doors? Don’t you know the next time they throw Paul into prison, won’t he pray? Now, every time you pray, something happens. It may not be what you thought should happen, but something happens. If you pray and you praise, something happens (Hebrews 9:15, Ephesians 1:13-14).
So, the first installment of this inheritance, others will come through eternity, is the Holy Spirit on the inside. If you tell me that, I want to buy a car, a car cost ten million. Now somebody tells you, you want to buy a car, you said yes.
Response: come to my office tomorrow, I will give you the car. You get to the person’s office the next day, now the person doesn’t give you a physical car, the person transfers or gives you 11 million naira. Has the person given you the car?
Yes, but he didn’t give you a physical car. What they gave you was the currency through which you will go and exchange outside that office to get a car. Anytime you go up to God, he doesn’t have money, he doesn’t have jobs in Heaven. Church Gist. What He imparts into you is the Spirit, then the Spirit will guide you, then the Spirit will lead you, then the Spirit will give you prophetic power. But if you are waiting for a call on the outside, for a job on the outside, which means, when will God answer my prayer? When will He give me that job? So, you are checking the mail, then what you are doing is, you are missing the point because He has imparted something, the currency on the inside. Now, once you get that, you come out of the place of prayer, the Holy Spirit nudges you to stop your car and go and help somebody, but you ignore that because you are thinking about your job.
So, Paul must have prayed and then he said, these doors are not opening; let sing again. They sang and after some time, Paul said, I think I understand what’s going on; because one day, they came to meet Paul and said, “Open the prison.” So, he too thought that, they are releasing me now. They took him to the Roman senate, he stood before the entire senate and they said,we want to hear the Gospel from you; this is everybody that is renowned in the world. Paul said, “Wow, now I understand this. If I was on the outside, I won’t get this audience.” Which means the first time he prayed, the Spirit was imparted, but He was saying that it shouldn’t happen as that. But if we cooperate with the Spirit, what He plans on doing will come out fast.
On the outside, whether you tweet, whether you are on Facebook, you can’t get that audience. That audience could only be gotten through that part that God led him and after he preached to them, God said you have finished your assignment here, they can release you. So, how does it start? Church Gist. You say, well, stuff is not happening in my life; give yourself over to prayer. Get two or three of your friends together, form a cell about it, in the next one year, our lives must have dramatically improved as a result of the entrance, a fresh unction of the Spirit on the inside of us. So, we begin to pray and God will answer.
You ask for a fresh infilling of the Spirit, no matter how carnal you, the only way you can be Spiritual is; “If I pour in my Spirit.” The only way a carnal person can become spiritual is that, God pours His Spirit forth into that person’s heart. So, this is a prayer that cannot be denied. You start praying; “Lord,” and as His Spirit begins to come, the first thing the Holy Spirit is going to do is that, He is going to start guiding you and teaching you (John 16:13). So, the Holy Spirit begins to show you things that are to come. Remember the platform of faith we stand on, Abraham our father, God called him out of his father’s house to the land He will show him, not to the land he chose. The only person that chose land chose wrong; he saw that it was well watered, he chose it but when he got there, the destiny of a place is not in how nice it looks, it is in the people that stay in the place.
So, He will show things that are to come and a prophet is not somebody who declares, a Prophet first, is a seer. He said, this people prophesy wrongly, why? Because they have seen nothing. So, what the Holy Spirit first of all wants to do is to start showing you things that are to come. If the Holy Spirit shows you what is to come, there’s somebody we brought land from, each plot, let’s say we bought them at 20 million. He bought a plot and when he bought it, it was 100 thousand. If he has 50 plots, he bought it at 5 million. If he sells 50 plots at 20 million, he gets 1 billion. Church Gist. God can show you land to buy today that they are selling 50 thousand because it is bush and He knows in 5 years time, that place; so when He gives you a promise, you shall leave an inheritance for your children’s children. There has to be a way in which that thing will happen. That is why He said, don’t start with money, start with the Spirit because a person can take 200 million if he is not led right and waste it and somebody can take 5 million and in 5 years, he is in billion.
There’s a powerful story I heard of a young boy that was in a small town in America and he was to go to another village and so, a bus always come once a day and an elderly man was there and the young boy came and then, the young boy went to stand far away from the bus stop and the elderly man called him and said, “listen to me; come, this is the bus stop.” The young boy said, “no Sir. The bus will come to this point” and he stood far away. Church Gist. The elderly man called and said, “this is where the bus will stop, I have been doing this thing for 35 years and this bus only comes once. If you are not here, you will miss the bus and you will come back tomorrow.” The boy went farther and said, the bus is coming over here. The bus came up on the horizon, the elderly looked at him and said, “come young man.” He told the elderly man, come, the bus is coming here.
The bus got to the bus stop and drove on to where the boy was and parked and the boy opened the car and turned to the elderly man; “I forgot to tell you, the bus driver is my father and he told me where he is going to park today.” I am trying to tell you that the Spirit wants to tell you, not what is happening now, but where to go and stand, that where people will say what you are talking about is madness, but you say, this is where….
I am talking about, now moving into the prophetic because I am following my sister now, moving into the prophetic, in the days of Noah, the Bible says that, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, but a flood was coming. Whether your business was good or bad, didn’t matter. The flood will wipe everybody. Whether your marriage was successful or you are about to divorce; didn’t matter. Plus you with good marriage and bad marriage, the flood will carry all of you. Church Gist. Whether you knew the seven steps on how to build the most powerful business or you didn’t understand anything, the flood with your business, you are all gone. At certain times, such floods come that levels everybody. If you are not in the prophetic…, do you get what I am saying?
I am trying to tell you, if God tells you, you are to fly up and get to this point, you are a person; it is a caterpillar, God says that’s the vision. This person says, try to perfect it and you try to do it, that is not what he told you to do. He said, spin a cocoon around you and stay still; you have to be transformed into a butterfly and when you become a butterfly, it makes access that easy. But if you remain a caterpillar, it is impossible. If He transforms you, it is easy. Church Gist. So, you want to move to the next phase in your life, spin a cocoon around yourself. Take time, next one month, have seasons where you don’t ask for anything; don’t let the pressure of today steal the future. Don’t say, “God I need this job; it may be something beyond the job. Just give the Holy Spirit time to work. You just start praying for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit of God into your soul; a fresh outpouring and spend time because things are going to come out of that practice that when people see your life in future; how did this change occur? You will say, until the Spirit was poured forth.
Now quickly, let me go to the next thing;
Spend time praying, open the Word of God, let the Holy Spirit begin to minister; some of the things that will happen is, opportunities will begin to come up and some of these things we are saying that is “Our Vision,” if something happens to you today, you will leave that vision. Church Gist. There’s a chap in church and he’s gone into tech, I asked him one day, you are HOD of Drama unit, where did you find tech? You went to University of Bay, you did theatre art, how did you get into tech? He said pastor, it is a serious story. I said what happened?
He said I was in the airport and I saw an old classmate and the minute I saw him, I remembered he can talk when we were in school. He would talk and talk; so I said, no, I don’t need this guy to wear me out. So, he said he went to hide. He said they kept moving the flight and I kept going to hide, watching him as he moves. One time momentarily, I forgot, I just felt his hand, my guy! Church Gist. He said, I looked up and my heart sank. He said, then he began to talk and talk and said this man hasn’t changed. He said, while he was talking, he said I remember you are a good guy. You know I am playing football now in this country, there’s a company that, they came to meet me, they want me to come sub Sahara and they said, can I bring anybody that I know in Nigeria that can do it? You are a good guy, I will introduce you to them, you will be their point of contact in Nigeria.
That’s how he went from drama to tech. Drama is hobby now, tech is the vision. That morning if you have asked him, what’s your vision? He would say drama. I said, if the Holy Ghost comes in, you know what the Bible says, He says that the Lord sprang out of Judah, from which that tribe has never been mentioned. Church Gist. In other words, when this order springs out, it won’t be according to your natural order. Something else will spring out that people will know that, this is nothing else but the finger of God.
So, number one, spend time and this is the former rain and then, we get to the latter rain, which means the Holy Spirit now begins to teach you; you starting getting fed, you start receiving new insight into the Word of God, He starts showing you things inside the scripture, you start getting nourished on the inside.
Second things, he gives you that vision of the future, the Bible says, faith is the substance of things hoped for. Now, hope is not your desire or my desire. Hope is not your aspiration or my aspiration. Hope is an expectation that you have, based on something God said to you. In other words, if I have a desire and my desire is to have one million naira, I need it tomorrow at 12:00 noon, then I don’t get it, so at 1:00pm I call Pastor Yemi and say, “Pastor, I am really disappointed in you.” He says why?
I need a million naira and I don’t have it and it’s 2:00pm. He will say, “Pastor, you didn’t tell me that you needed a million naira now, why are you saying you are disappointed in me?”
Now, if I tell him, I need a million naira by 12:00 noon and he says, “don’t worry, tomorrow, come to the office and I will give you a million naira at 11:00 am.” It is no longer my responsibilities to produce that million, it is his responsibility. Church Gist.
In other words, before that, it was my own resources, ability and network that should produce it. Once he gives me a promise, he has taken the responsibility off me, having the one million from me to himself. So, it is no longer a desire, it is an expectation that I have based on his words that he gave to me, so he has given me his word, I now have an expectation. When I come tomorrow for the one million, he is now indebted to me based on what he said to me, he has transferred the responsibility, he now owns him. Which means when I come, I come differently.
That hope is an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast and which entereth into that within the veil. So, he told me I should come tomorrow to the office and he will give me the one million. The only place I can get the one million is inside his office. That is where the transaction is going to occur. If I go out into the market place, I will not get it. So, once the Spirit of God reveals something to you, that God intends to do in your life, He then tells you, you have an appointment now to come into the office of God, which is into the Holiest of Holy, into His presence, that is where you are going to lay hold upon this hope that I have created there, so you are not to run around.
Once the Holy Spirit shows you something, don’t run around. Moses got it and he began to run around and then, he messed everything up. He said, come. It was when Moses met with God that there was that transaction, so he tells you that I want you to come in; I have revealed to you what I want you to do, but I want to bring about the performance. The Bible says God is the One at work in us, both for us to will and to do of His good pleasure (Psalm 119:49-50). So, if I come to meet Pastor Yemi and say, well, remember that you promised me one million naira… Hope…. This has been my comfort because Your Word has quicken me (John 6:63).
When the Holy Spirit comes in, the first thing He does is to quicken you and when He quickens you, he shows you what to come, He gives you that hope about what God wants to do. In coming into His presence to receive it, what makes that experience produce things? I was listening to a woman, her name is Bill Brain, she speaks for brother Copeland and she said and I found this amazing and Kenneth Hagin used to say this before he went home to be with the Lord. Church Gist. He said, there’s a move of the Spirit that will be lost on this generation, he said God told him this, except he teaches, except they demonstrate it and he said, we used to have meetings back then, where we will all come together and enter into a place of worship. He said, the presence of God will get so strong, that the entire place, there will be silent. He said, there was a time when a woman came and she was dancing in the Spirit and he said, we didn’t hear a sound and she was on a wooden floor dancing, yet not a sound.
He said, even the babies were deep inside the Spirit. So when God tells you something about the future, He says, come and this woman said, she has built like a small camp, but it is quite a large camp in America where she has just built chalets and places where people could come and pray. Now, she has no church, she’s just a prophet, she ministers and she said, she was in deep worship when God revealed to her, this is what you are supposed to build and God told her, “tell nobody about this. I will finance everything by myself.” Church Gist. The first time she told anybody, 74 per cent of the money had come in and that’s when she met with brother Copeland. In other words, there’s a place you can get to, that ravens wi come to minister to you. That is, you get into that place in His presence; it is only what God has revealed to you that can get that kind of thing done because the only reason why I can come at 1:00 tomorrow in order to get the million is because I have an appointment he told me. If somebody comes there without that appointment, you will not be guaranteed access. That hope is the anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast and takes us within the veil.
When we are singing songs in corporate worship, everybody should have a different interpretation according to the revelation God has given you. So, we are singing the same thing, but we are singing different thing, different meaning that it connotes to God, because it is based on what God has shown you, that is what you are laying hold on. Church Gist. For the rejoice means to enjoy the feeling of being in possession of something through a song. In other words, as you are singing when you are rejoicing, you are not just singing, you are enjoying the feeling of holding on to that thing with that song. What is the thing that you are holding on to? And God starts by revealing it to us in scripture.
You may say, “well, I am not too sure about God.” See, the New Testament is a “Will Testament.” That word Testament means Will. Will means inheritance. If your parents leave an inheritance for you, you don’t determine what they give you. It is what they determine they read out to you, but the day they read it out, you will know whether your father loved you as much as he said from the content of the Will. Church Gist. If he gives five houses there, two houses there and then you, he said there’s an apartment over there and you know, two of those rooms belong to someone. You will know, in other words, the reading of your inheritance is a revelation of love. If you allow the Holy Spirit to show you what God has prepared, you will understand how much God loves you, for He will do exceedingly, abundantly above anything you can ask or think. So, He quickens you, then He tells you, I want you to come in, in order to receive this particular thing in my presence.
Now, what is the key to receiving this thing in His presence; when you go into the place of praise, when you are worshipping Him (Hebrews 20:22-23). So, God wants you to hold fast to the confession of what He has promised you without wavering and this will determine when you come into and present yourself before Him, how much of manifestation you are going to have. Church Gist. The woman with the issue of blood, she looked at Jesus; she has heard about Jesus, she said, if I will just touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole. The scripture records that, she kept saying it to herself. Why was she doing that? Because she was seeing people touched Jesus and they weren’t getting healed.
Sick people were touching Jesus, Peter himself, when Jesus said somebody touched me, Peter said, can’t you see all these people thronging, they were even doing more than touching his clothes; they were holding his hand, Jesus, Jesus! But there was no transference, but the woman, when she touched Jesus, Jesus said somebody has touched me. The reason why her touch brought about a transference was because she had been saying, “If I will just touch the hem of his garment.” It is your confession that will determine what happens in the place of worship and praise.
If you have dual confession and you come in, that is why James 1 says, let him ask in faith, not wavering. What will determine whether you receive or not is based on a steadfast confession. So, the minute the Holy Spirit shows you what is coming in the future, then you turn it into your declaration and everyday, you begin to declare from that place and start calling into existence as though it were, talking about it as though it’s a present reality in your own life. Church Gist. Talking to yourself, declaring it, writing out that vision and writing it in a way that shows that it has already occurred inside your life and you begin to declare that and begin to declare that and that is what forms the solid basis; when you now enter into the place of worship and praise, that will cause those things to begin to materialize in your life (Romans 4:17).
The first thing the Holy Spirit does is to quicken. When He quickens, He gives you God’s Word concerning that and gives you hope. The next thing is to call into existence, those things that be not as though they were. Church Gist. Once God reveal something to you, He says start calling it into existence as though it were. Start talking about it yourself, not as though that thing is going to happen, but start talking about it as though it is already happening.
I have a confession written out, I got a revelation on the 27th of June this year. I have a confession written out 27th of June next year and in that confession, I declare and I say, well, I am seated in this particular place, reflecting upon my life in the last twelve months. So, I am talking about what is going to happen as something that has already happened (John 17:9-12). So, you have to start talking as though that particular thing has already happened in your life. Church Gist. You are not announcing it to people; you are saying it to your own self. Faith doesn’t require you tell people. If you tell people, you increase warfare. The more people know about a project, the less likely it happens. Did Jesus tell people who He was, even when demons came and they were shouting? He said, keep quiet! In other words, there were dimensions of His personalities he never said to anybody. The things he said to James, John and Peter and He said, tell no man about these things.
When Mordecai was with Esther, he told Esther, tell nobody who you are until the manifestation. Some of you are in argument that you should not have. When they prayed for Peter to be released, Peter was knocking at the door and Rhoda went and heard his voice, she ran in and told them, Peter is at the gate. Church Gist. They said, you are mad. She kept saying, I am telling you, he is at the gate. They said, well, it is his ghost. You know, she didn’t need argument, she should just have opened the gate and come with Peter.
You see all these debate in revelation is not necessary, get manifestation. Don’t start arguing about your vision; manifest the vision and all you should do is just come out; yesterday they saw you this way, today they see you in the new way and then, they will tell you the only thing they can say is” Rabbi” and the more you talk to people (Ecclesiastes 5:3), too much talk is a sign of failure. Church Gist. What you are to do is to call yourself and begin to call it into existence to yourself, have it written down and profess them every single morning. I am telling you, test it. Test what I am saying; get a revelation before you come to church next Sunday. Wake up in the morning, take that revelation and sit down with the confession and start declaring to yourself; those promises to yourself.
After 20 minutes, get into your car and come to church. Start worship, your worship will be different because it is those promises that are loaded inside your heart that will connect directly to God. People will see you and after some time, they will ask you, what happened in your life that you were dancing that particular dance? They will tell you, no, something has happened. Church Gist. Before any manifestation happens in your life, the joy of that thing must be seen in you. Which means the revelation should have produced the joy to the extent that people come and say, “Come why are you so happy? Why are you laughing so much? What happened? You should know that, that thing is very close. If you are very sad and they say, hope nothing is wrong? That means that thing is still far away. The way in which to get yourself into that joy level, …thy Words were found and I did eat them. They became the joy and the rejoicing of my heart.
So understand this; God by His Spirit will reveal and when He reveals, He says, start calling it into existence as though it were. Take that confession into my Presence, into the place of worship and praise and you are going to start having powerful manifestations. Church Gist. Which means, drink of my Spirit, it gets into your belly, He reveals things and as you enter into that place of praise and worship, with that intensity there in worship, then you are going to start having powerful manifestations occuring in your life.
The move of the Spirit starts, the Bible says no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation, but Holy men spoke as they were moved by the Spirit. For prophecy did not come by will of man. So, get your own will out and let the Holy Spirit starts moving in your life and just say, “Holy Spirit…” And start praying for an outpouring of the Spirit and with that outpouring, revelation will start coming about the future and then, you will start calling those things into existence; enter into the place of worship and then, you start birthing those things and life becomes an exciting venture.
Father, I pray for every single person under the sound of my voice; let this Word produce signs, wonders and diverse miracles in their lives in the name of Jesus. Let them experience the Spirit being poured from on high upon their hearts, that there be a demonstration of the Spirit in unusual ways in every single person’s life in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you!

[08/07, 2:11 pm] Rachelle: TOO MUCH TALK IS A SIGN OF FAILURE.
DON’T START ARGUING ABOUT YOUR VISION; INSTEAD LET PEOPLE SEE THE MANIFESTATIONS OF YOUR VISION.
FAITH DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU TELL PEOPLE EVERYTHING. THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT A PROJECT, THE LESS LIKELY IT HAPPENS.
DID JESUS TELL PEOPLE WHO HE WAS, EVEN WHEN DEMONS CAME AND THEY WERE SHOUTING?
THERE WERE DIMENSIONS OF HIS PERSONALITIES HE NEVER SAID TO ANYBODY.
BEFORE ANY MANIFESTATION HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE, THE JOY OF THAT THING MUST BE SEEN IN YOU. THE REVELATION SHOULD HAVE PRODUCED THE JOY TO THE EXTENT THAT PEOPLE WILL COME AND SAY, “COME WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?”
The first thing the Holy Spirit does is to quicken. When He quickens, He gives you God’s Word concerning that and gives you hope. The next thing is to call into existence, those things that be not as though they were. Church Gist. Once God reveal something to you, He says start calling it into existence as though it were. Start talking about it yourself, not as though that thing is going to happen, but start talking about it as though it is already happening.
I have a confession written out, I got a revelation on the 27th of June this year. I have a confession written out 27th of June next year and in that confession, I declare and I say, well, I am seated in this particular place, reflecting upon my life in the last twelve months. So, I am talking about what is going to happen as something that has already happened (John 17:9-12). So, you have to start talking as though that particular thing has already happened in your life. Church Gist. You are not announcing it to people; you are saying it to your own self. Faith doesn’t require you tell people. If you tell people, you increase warfare. The more people know about a project, the less likely it happens. Did Jesus tell people who He was, even when demons came and they were shouting? He said, keep quiet! In other words, there were dimensions of His personalities he never said to anybody. The things he said to James, John and Peter and He said, tell no man about these things.
When Mordecai was with Esther, he told Esther, tell nobody who you are until the manifestation. Some of you are in argument that you should not have. When they prayed for Peter to be released, Peter was knocking at the door and Rhoda went and heard his voice, she ran in and told them, Peter is at the gate. Church Gist. They said, you are mad. She kept saying, I am telling you, he is at the gate. They said, well, it is his ghost. You know, she didn’t need argument, she should just have opened the gate and come with Peter.
You see all these debate in revelation is not necessary, get manifestation. Don’t start arguing about your vision; manifest the vision and all you should do is just come out; yesterday they saw you this way, today they see you in the new way and then, they will tell you the only thing they can say is” Rabbi” and the more you talk to people (Ecclesiastes 5:3), too much talk is a sign of failure. Church Gist. What you are to do is to call yourself and begin to call it into existence to yourself, have it written down and profess them every single morning. I am telling you, test it. Test what I am saying; get a revelation before you come to church next Sunday. Wake up in the morning, take that revelation and sit down with the confession and start declaring to yourself; those promises to yourself.
After 20 minutes, get into your car and come to church. Start worship, your worship will be different because it is those promises that are loaded inside your heart that will connect directly to God. People will see you and after some time, they will ask you, what happened in your life that you were dancing that particular dance? They will tell you, no, something has happened. Church Gist. Before any manifestation happens in your life, the joy of that thing must be seen in you. Which means the revelation should have produced the joy to the extent that people will come and say, “Come why are you so happy? Why are you laughing so much? What happened? You should know that, that thing is very close. If you are very sad and they say, hope nothing is wrong? That means that thing is still far away. The way in which to get yourself into that joy level, …thy Words were found and I did eat them. They became the joy and the rejoicing of my heart.
