The True Believer by Apostle Selman

The True Believer || PFN Youth Convention 2025 || Kano- Nigeria || Apostle Selman

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” Then it says, “In all wisdom, it matters that it dwells in wisdom.”

If the word of Christ dwells in you and is without wisdom, then you will find out that you have so many truths, but you do not know how to combine them to produce victory.

This is particularly important for those who are called into ministry. We have a very serious responsibility not only to help people find salvation but to grow their spiritual understanding to a point where they become witnesses indeed.

The quality of believers in any territory will always be a reflection of the depth of spiritual understanding of the voices, the leaders that train them.

A man of God and a woman of God who is deep in spiritual things will produce a people of power and stature.

A man who may not be as deep may not produce people beyond the level of encounter. So this will profit both men of God and profit all of us together as we seek to press into perfection. The Lord bless us in the name of Jesus.

Now to produce a true apostolic community when you want to produce believers that are fortified men and women who have stature and have power who have maturity and can be trusted with God’s program.

There are a number of truths. There are certain bodies of truth, spiritual knowledge that must be available to the believers within that territory. There is a certain body of truth, body of light that if you do not find and if you do not understand, you may never be able to host the program of God and to execute it with precision.

The three among the many bodies of knowledge that believers must have:

1. You must understand God’s prophetic program.

It is important for you to understand the full texture and the scope of God’s prophetic program.

Your relevance in the kingdom and your relevance in this dispensation will be predicated upon your thorough understanding of God’s prophetic program.

2. You must understand the demands for being a host.

The demand to be trusted by God to birth that program.

You must know the kinds of vessels that God is looking for.

Understanding his program is number one.

But it’s important for you to know that God loves everybody, but he cannot use everybody.

• There is a kind of man God is looking for.
• There is a kind of vessel God is looking for.
• There is a kind of believer God is looking for.
• There is a kind of witness God is looking for.

3. You must understand God’s strategy for executing his program.

I think this is where most believers have failed and it is why many territories do not produce true witnesses because we understand God’s program and sometimes we even pay the price to become the kinds of vessels that God can use.

But we now begin to use our strategies to execute divine programs. And you find out that it becomes burdensome and it it does not work well in birthing God’s program. His program must be executed by his strategy, not our strategy.

In desiring to bring down Jericho, Joshua knew already that Jericho was God’s will to be brought down as part of their ongoing process into the promised land.

1. So, he was aware of the program.
2. Number two, he knew that God will use them and they had aligned themselves to be the kinds of vessels. But there was
3. Number three that was left, the strategy.

If he did not get the strategy right, the knowledge of Jericho coming down and preparing themselves as great vessels will still not count in bringing victory. He needed to inquire from the Lord, what strategy do we use? And he was given a very strange strategy that you go around Jericho once every week and then on the seventh day you go around seven times the priest bearing the trumpet and at the seventh time you will blow the trumpet and shout and that was what birth the victory.

So it is a risk to assume any strategy and believe because you are sincere it will birth the glory of God.

The strategy for execution is also very important.

Now, God’s program affects three groups of people.There are three groups of people essentially:

1. The first group of people are the world of sinners or the unbelieving world.

God’s program affects number one the world of sinners, the unbelieving world.

2. Number two, it affects the church.

So God has a program for the world, the unbelieving world. God has a program for the church, the saints.

3. And then God has a program for society.

So every time you talk about kingdom come, every time you talk about God’s end time prophetic program, let your mind go to these three groups.

There is an aspect of that agenda that is to the unbelieving world.

There is an aspect of that agenda that is to the church.

And there is an aspect of that agenda that is to society.

The reason this is important is because knowing this will help you appreciate your allocation in that job description.

There are people who in giving them their individual mandates they will be sent to the first aspect the unbelieving world that becomes their core area of assignment.

There are those who their core area of assignment will be within the church among the saints and there are those who will have the privilege to serve God’s purposes across the broader society.

If you do not understand this you may not see that the person who is serving in society is as important as a person who is serving the world of sinners.

The dichotomy that we have experienced in the body of Christ has been because we have not broadened our understanding about God’s program.

So most people when they say God use me, the average man’s idea is God give me a church. God give me a pullpit. God give me a mic. I want to be a preacher. That’s a very dangerous orientation.

But because they do not know that there is a tripartite composition of God’s agenda, they feel the only way I can serve God is to be a preacher or to be an evangelist. And they find out that the grace is not there because the allocation is not with sinners.

This is very important. And until and unless you are taught to see that the man who has the privilege to be at the mission field and the one who is bringing finances for the gospel and the one who is maturing the saint, no one is greater than the other. It is simply the privilege of job description.

So God’s program is three-fold, not one fold. what we call the great commission a Christian term even though it’s not in the bible as a word great commission it has been taught in a very incomplete way by sincere people we grew up hearing preachers talk about great commission but they did not capture the whole picture and as sincere as they were it produced lopsided believers so for the average person.

Our concept of the great commission is soul-winning and it ends there and that is the initial part of it but not the only part of it. If you truly want to understand the great commission, there are three scriptures you have to examine.

1. Number one, you have to examine Mark chapter 16 from verse 15. “Go ye into all the world.”
   Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Verse 16, it says, “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Then he now says, “This sign shall follow them that believe, you know, in my name shall cast out devils.” So that’s the first part. Unfortunately, this is the only part that most people emphasize. Go ye into the world and preach the gospel. But that’s only one.
2. The second one. Matthew chapter 28:18:20
3.  The third one. Acts 1:8. But you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you and you shall be. He talks about being representing you shall be witnesses. A witness does not need his voice alone. A witness needs his life and everything he has. You shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.

Until you combine Mark 16, Matthew 28, and Acts 1:8, your understanding of God’s program will be faulty.

So some people choose Mark 16 then they go and preach then they stop there. Others choose Matthew 28 then they disciple believers then they stop there. Others choose Acts chapter 1 and verse 8. So there is a desperate search for power but no souls no building.

What exactly is the Great Commission?

• The great commission is a mandate given by Jesus to his disciples and now to all believers. A mandate given by Jesus himself. It was then to his disciples but now is extended the call to all believers to reach the entire globe with the gospel of salvation. To bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and unto maturity through disciplehip is a long read. And then to bring territorial and social transformation.
• To bring nations to the knowledge of the truth and unto spiritual maturity through disciplehip.
• And then number three, to consequently bring territorial and societal transformation.

This right here is a complete picture of the great commission. It’s a complete picture of God’s end time program. Now at every point God will have certain emphasis.

And anyone who truly loves God and wants to be relevant particularly in this end time then you must understand the full scope of his program:

• Number one bringing the gospel of salvation to the lost.
• Number two, bringing the saints to a point of maturity and stature through disciplehip.
• And then number three, bringing about territorial transformation.

So three components:

1. World evangelization.
2. Number two, the maturity of the saints, the church through disciplehip. This is where the five-fold ministry comes. And then
3. Number three, changing and influencing your society.

If you find the program of God suffering in any territory, one or more or all these three components is missing.

Now let me tell you the danger. If all you do is to go to the mission field and win souls, those souls will be saved. But if you don’t mature them, they will rot.

The church is not the place of manifestation. No, the church is the place of training. When you are trained in church, then you are deployed in society to be the light and to be the salt.

Matthew 5:13-16 it says you are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its saltiness or its sever, it says wherewith shall it be made it stands forth good for nothing except to be cast out and to be thrown under foot of men. Verse 14 says you are the light of the world. You are a city that is set on and heal. It says neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushell but they put it on a candlestick so that it gives light to everyone there. Then verse 16 says, “Let your light.” The word let means permit, allow, do not restrict. Let your light so shine not before members, not before spirits, before men that they may see your good works.

The reason why our society is not glorifying our father is because they have not seen our good works.

It is very easy to transform a society if we return back to God’s patterns. So we start by bringing the lost by the power of the Holy Spirit. When they get saved, there are structures immediately that begins to build them. And then when they attain maturity.

Salvation as given to every believer must be by a conscious declaration of the lordship of Jesus having accepted him.

The only way a man becomes saved, is by listening to the gospel of salvation.

What is the gospel of salvation?

1 Corinthians 15:1-4, John 3:16, Romans 10:8-10.

The gospel of salvation is a declaration.

A declaration of the love of the father that was demonstrated to man in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus.

Man and creation being the object of that sacrifice.

The gospel of salvation is a declaration of the love of the father to man. That love was demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Man and the entire creation being the object of that sacrifice.

Here’s how the Bible puts it. John 3:16. For God so loved the world, it says that he gave his then only begotten son. He says that whosoever believes on him.

Now the moment you hear the gospel, when you hear this declaration of God’s love as savior, you hear that he loved you so much that he gave his son, you have two choices. To reject the gospel or to believe it. To those who reject it, the Bible says they are already condemned. There’s no condemnation in the future. Again, they are already condemned by willfully rejecting the gospel.

But for those who accept the gospel, the Bible tells us immediately three gifts are given to them. The moment you hear the gospel and you accept the gospel, three gifts.

The moment you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, there are three gifts that are given to you:

1. Number one is called the forgiveness of sin.
2. Number two is called the gift of righteousness.
3. Number three is called the life of God. Zoe.

Anyone here who has found yourself receiving Jesus Christ right now, you are a possessor of these three gifts. Whether you feel it or not, that is the authority of the word of God.

No matter how long you’ve been around the things of God, if you are not saved, you do not have the forgiveness of sin. If you are not saved, you do not have the gift of righteousness. If you are not saved, you don’t have the life of God.

And the Bible says, “As many as received him, to them gave him power to become sons of God.” Someone say, “I believe.” Say it again. I believe.

The moment you get saved, genuinely saved, there is a name you are called. You are a believer. However, from the kingdom standpoint, you are called an infant.

Because the way God designed it and this is the apostolic model that was given to the church. The moment you get born again, there are three ministries you must encounter. If you fail to encounter those three ministries, your journey to spiritual frustration has begun even though you are saved.

• Number one, the moment you get born again, the first ministry you must be introduced to is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• Number two, the second ministry you must be introduced to is the ministry of the word. The ministry of the word comes alongside with prayer. Prayer and the word you may say.
• And then number three, the ministry of a teaching priest.

If these three ministries are absent in your life, you will never truly grow again. To the believer who becomes born again, your next assignment is to encounter these three ministries.

And then any man of God who is serving the grace of God with integrity. You know why? Because they serve you the grace of God according to Jeremiah 3 and:15. And I will give you pastors, shepherds according to my heart. They will feed you with knowledge and they will feed you with understanding.

Two believers who get born again, one is introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. One is introduced to the ministry of prayer and the word. One is introduced to a local assembly or the ministry of a teaching priest versus the other one who never gets to know about the Holy Spirit like the brethren in Acts chapter 19 1-4 and never gets to appreciate the ministry of prayer and the word like we find in Acts chapter 6 and verse4 and never gets to appreciate the ministry of the teaching priest that man will not grow it will not be a spiritual attack it’s a violation of the patterns that lead to growth

The person who got him saved introduce him to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Introduce him to the ministry of prayer and the word. Introduce him to a church, a local assembly, the ministry of a teaching priest. You know what happens? The truths of the kingdom. What begins to happen to this man is called transformation and renewal. That’s the next assignment. The Holy Spirit works in partnership with his his prayer life, his word life, and the ministry of his pastor and begins to grow this man.

Now, he begins to learn a few things on prayer, on fasting, on giving, on diligence.

He’s growing spiritually. He may not even know, but he’s growing by knowledge.

Knowledge is making him grow. Sooner or later he will get to this second junction. He now becomes what we call a transformed believer.

So he starts as a sinner. The gospel leads him to becoming a believer. However, he’s an infant. What makes him an infant? He’s void of knowledge. He’s void of maturity. He’s void of character. When you stop here, that’s where you find people behaving as if they are not saved.

The only way you know they are saved is when they pray in tongues. No character, no understanding of the word. Any challenge they begin to insult God because they don’t have maturity. The cure is not to be angry with them. Is to grow them into maturity.

He’s a transformed believer. In what way is he transformed?

• Number one, he now has built the character of the spirit. It’s called the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:16-22.

This man now is a better believer in terms of character, the inner work of the Holy Spirit, all those anger, all those jealousy, those lusts, through the teaching ministry, through a healthy prayer life, through a healthy word life.

• Now this guy has come to a point of knowledge. He’s not an ignorant believer. Again look at me. Most of you may think you are here right now. But there are litmos tests to show whether you are a transformed believer. Your mindset, your spiritual understanding. Philippians chapter 2 from verse 5. It says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

The one who has been discipled knows that the earth works based on the law of seed time and harvest and that your outcomes don’t just depend on the will of God but your participation by faith.

• What do you understand about fasting and who taught you?
• What do you understand about prayer?
• What do you understand about the supremacy of the word and who taught you?
• What do you understand about faith and who taught you?
• What do you understand about Satan and who taught you? What do you understand about demons and oppression and curses and yolks and who taught you?
• What do you understand about the believer’s victory? Who taught you?
• What do you understand about your oneness with Christ, if at all you understand that? And who taught you?
• What do you understand about kingdom service and who taught you? I’m listing for you the course content that produces maturity. What do you believe about challenges and who taught you?
• What do you believe about setbacks and who taught you?
• What do you believe about giving and who taught you? Are you seeing that most believers are not growing?

If you are to write an exam based on what I’ve said now, most of you will fail woefully. You are just Christian serving. And I’m not trying to be hard on you. I’m challenging you to know that if you stay that way, the program of God will suffer.

The program of God depends on believers who are matured, not believers who are available. It takes availability to start the journey, but it takes maturity to execute.

You see that there’s a lot of ignorance in the body of Christ. And the terrible thing is when ignorance meets pride, it closes the gate for growth.

So there’s a lot of bragging and boasting over nothing at all. When ignorance meets pride, let me pray my first prayer for you.

The spirit of pride and arrogance that may not allow you learn and grow, from my heart, I pray for you. May it be far from your life. Far from your life. Far from your life. Far from your life.

Sit down, please. No matter how ignorant a believer is, the moment your heart is open to learn, you shorten the distance between you and the next level. You elongate your frustration through pride.

Every day as you submit to prayer, this is what is happening. Every day as you pray and fast, something is happening. It may not look obvious. The same way you did not know you were changing from a child, now you are an adult. Is when you look at your yesterday’s picture, you will know you have grown.

You didn’t even observe that you were growing. You just knew that you were eating every day, going to school every day. The same things that make you grow biologically have a spiritual parallel.

Have you seen someone who only ate and did not go to school, there is a kind of adult he will become an ignorant adult. He’s an adult but he’s not employable. That’s how it is spiritually.

So you can grow in terms of biological stature and not have knowledge.

Now you see every time you stop growing the destinies connected to you keep suffering until you manifest. The implication of remaining here is that you stop other destinies that were supposed to rise through your becoming a witness. They become punished.

So the prophet that should rise from the efficiency of your work with God, the apostle that should rise, the businessman that should rise is taunted. And there is a timeline for their manifestation. But you’re not imagining is delaying other people too.

For someone God is speaking to you by now. If you had started this journey by now, God would have been using you mightily. But you are still dealing with elementary things. It’s time to grow. It’s time to grow. It’s time to grow beyond the walls of religion and church. It’s time to grow.

Young lady Esther in ignorance cannot become queen. No. If God has told you you will be queen, then you must begin to engage with the knowledge that makes for maturity. So finally you get here, you are a transformed believer.

You have the right information. But something is still missing. There are number of you who are here right now. By the mercies of God, you are not ignorant. You have read books. By the mercy of God, the anointing of the spirit will begin to move now.

So here we are the believer through transition encountering the ministry of the Holy Ghost encountering the ministry of prayer and the word encountering the ministry of the teaching priest and through time he’s gotten to this second phase he’s now called a transformed believer doesn’t mean transformation has stopped but he’s attained onto a state of commendable transformation through light through revelation, through knowledge, there’s been an inner working of the character of the spirit within that believer and then a transformation of his mind. He’s not ignorant. But you see, if you stop here, you will know many things but not be able to defend them.

You need to go to the next phase is called empowerment. When you become a transformed believer, you don’t stop there. Jesus mentored the disciples for three and a half years. Even though they were full of knowledge, he said, “Tarry tarry, don’t live this way. If you live with only revelation, you will get to a point where you will not be able to defend the things you say.”

There are many people who know that God heals, but they cannot demonstrate it.

They know that God lifts but they cannot demonstrate it.

They know the gifts of the spirit are in the Bible but they cannot demonstrate it.

Their issue is not transformation. They have knowledge. They have light. What they lack is empowerment.

At age 12, Jesus went to the temple but he was not empowered at the temple. For 18 years he was mentored, he was taught. Then he came to John. The Bible says, “And the heavens open, not upon an ignorant Jesus.” And then the Holy Ghost came.

If Jesus went about doing ministry without the empowerment of the Holy Ghost and he had knowledge alone, he would not be able to defend the fact that he came from the father. Acts 10:38, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost.

He started as Jesus of Nazareth, but the Holy Ghost made him Jesus Christ, the Christ of God. He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power. He went about doing good is the business of power.

It takes more than knowledge to do good. When you are talking about doing good, you need to go past the realm of knowledge.

I believe God sent me here to push you to the next level. Knowledge is powerful, but let me tell you this. You never can advance a program of God with brain work alone.

My dear people, it’s great to write songs and sing, but you need power. Power from heaven. I’m not just talking of power to throw people down. The power to give life whilst you sing that it goes beyond a special ministration is a ministry of life.

And I pray for you in the name of Jesus, beginning from today, you will not just minister songs, you will minister life. You will minister life. I deposit power upon your destiny. Your songs will carry life. Not just melodies. It will carry life in the name of Jesus.

Everybody say power. Power. Empowerment is very important. Many believers lack this. Many ministers lack this.

Can I tell you this? There is no assumption with power. If it is there, it is there. If it is not there, it is not there.

Power is one of those components in the kingdom whose presence you cannot deny.

If power is there, it shows. And when I talk of power, I’m not just talking of people falling down. No, I define power as the capacity to influence outcomes.

The capacity to influence outcomes is called power. The fortitude to enforce compliance. that when God speaks and you can declare what he speaks and it comes to pass, you have power.

We have reduced power in church to people just falling down like this. And while we’re not insulting the work of the Holy Spirit, we need a generation that carries genuine power. When you say God heals, show that he heals. When you say God lifts, show that he lifts. Especially because you are in a territory where is difficult for people to believe in Jesus.

The world is tired of a a lot of noise and stories. No. The centurion saw power. The jailer saw power. Even before a sermon, what broke him was the power of the Holy Ghost that at midnight Paul and Silas they prayed, they sang.

Why is your prayer and your singing not doing anything? Their own prayer and their own singing produced results immediately.

He was declared to be the son of God with power. With power, with power. We need to cry for power. Not just for the purpose of looking like you’re a man of God. No. The the business of end time kingdom come is the business of power.

I can tell you this by the mercies of God, there is no race, no tribe, no culture that does not react to power. You cannot speak their language but power can speak their language preachers we must trust God for grace authentic power that when you say it becomes as you have said that when you tell the people you are blessed they don’t just say amen as a ritual they know you are programming a climate of possibilities upon Empowerment. This is a link that is missing.

Many people have knowledge but they’ve not contended for empowerment. And so as much as they want to serve the purposes of God, they don’t have the power to.

When you watch the oppressed get oppressed and the more you are praying for them the more Satan is prevailing over them. Then you tell them love Jesus. They say no power was so important. Jesus told the disciples tarry.

So the gospel of salvation brings you into the kingdom but you come in as an infant void of knowledge, void of maturity.

You cannot be used by God this way. And then you are introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

You are introduced to the ministry of the word and prayer. You are introduced to the ministry of a teaching priest.

These tripartite ministries work to grow you to the point of transformation.

When you get to the point of transformation, you have knowledge, you have a transformed mind, you are building character.

The Holy Ghost moves you to the next phase. It’s called empowerment.

The moment you get to this point of empowerment, like you may have heard me say, the word of God gives you a new name, you are no longer called a believer, you are called a witness.

A witness is not just the person preaching. A witness is one who has journeyied with the spirit from infancy to transformation to empowerment. infancy, transformation, empowerment. You are called a witness.

Now when God calls you a witness, at that point he can trust you with his program. He begins to define for you an allotment. As far as his prophetic program is concerned, he begins to place something upon you.

Allocations in the spirit begin to come. Even though it was there for you in prophecy, but because you have partnered with God to get to this state, now he can trust you with Kano. Now he can trust you with Nigeria. Now he can trust you with America.

I Daniel understood by books. I truly believe and that’s why God quickened in my heart to come.

I’m speaking to you prophetically. Very soon, God is going to give you another assignment. He’s going to place another mandate upon you. He will send you to regions. He will send you to lands. But this time around, you will not just go with knowledge. You will go with power. You will not just go as a believer. You will go as a witness.

It is dangerous to try to serve the purposes of God only as a believer. No, you need to be a witness.

The difference between a witness and a believer is that a believer just believes the word. He has capacity to believe the word. But a witness understands the blueprint of the assignment and has the grace component for the execution. pastors, we must raise beyond church members.

We must start with them as church members. But our assignment, we are not wise master builders until we produce witnesses. The end point of your training is not even just disciples, witnesses, validators of his claim.

One last time, please go back. I’ll tell you why the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is weak. Some people are not even part of the church yet. And we don’t care. We don’t care whether they are saved or not. Then there are a number who are just saved but we are not pushing them beyond this.

We are just maintaining them at the gates of infancy. Others have pressed whether by a visionary pastor. Thank God for the ones we have here or by their personal pursuit to the Holy Ghost reading books listening to material because there was nobody to help and mentor them and they finally arrived here to a measure. Others have even pushed by impartations looking for people who can lay hands on them. But the problem is the problem is they don’t understand the program of God. They’ve not been guided to understand their role or God’s strategy for execution.

Your knowledge is not wasted but it was not structured and aggregated. Some of you need to go back and learn prayer properly. You will need it when you go to the crusade ground. It is better to flog it out with God than for demons to embarrass you on the ground. Find out what is not working.

Infancy, transformation, empowerment.

Now when you get empowered, the journey does not stop. the journey of purpose. That’s really when it truly begins.

This is where there’s a problem in church. The one who is called to be a prophet, the one who is called to be a kingdom financier, the one who is called to be an architect, the one who is called to be a pastor, the one who is called to be Elijah and Esther, because they all start from the same position. The moment the training changes, we start fighting one another. Not knowing that it is not error, it is that you are being diverged to the place of your unique training.

The guy who is called to be a prophet will find out that there’s an unusual grace to pray. An unusual grace to pray. The guy who wants to be a professor will find out that there’s an urge for knowledge. Now the one praying will say you are wrong. No, it’s an allocation. If you don’t know this, you would distract people. If Elijah mentors Esther, she will not be queen. She will be called Elisha.

It matters how you are guided into purpose. There are many people today by now if they were allowed to do to follow their business and grow, they would have been mighty men. and they would have brought the resources for the kingdom because it’s more than buying and selling. It was their assignment but we distracted them away.

There are people today in banking halls who should be on crusade grounds. So while they in the banking hall they are trying to do crusade there and they are punishing them in the bank because they the grace is crying but vision directed them wrongly. So they are there the blessings asking himself what am I doing with figures here the rest are enjoying the job but this man cannot rest.

When you say your kingdom come the reason why his kingdom comes is that his will is allowed to be done. Everywhere his will fails to be done, his kingdom cannot come.

The key to God’s governing influence finding expression in a territory, the key to making that happen is to execute his will. Not your will. His will.

Now what we need to learn in church is to understand that when a pattern is being used that is not the same as your own, it is still the same God.

If you mislead people into believing that it is only your pattern, anybody who follows my pattern will become like me. But people like me are not the only ones who are needed in God’s program.

The way God raises an entrepreneur is different from the way God raises an apostle is very different. It’s very different.

The way God raises a man, he is going to be teaching the ethics of the palace. As Elijah, you don’t need to learn the ethics of the palace because you are going to be shouting, calling down fire. But if you are going to be Joseph, if you are going to be Daniel, you better learn the ethics of the palace. If not, you will not be exalted.

In the book of Daniel, in the book of Esther, listen, and in the book of Genesis, all the exaltation came by hiddenistic kings.

If you don’t know how to treat Pharaoh well, you will not become prime minister.

If you don’t know how to treat Ahazarus well, you will not become queen.

If you don’t know how to treat Nebuchadnezzar well, you will not become one of the six presidents.

Your prayer is to learn the basics of prayer, the word. And all the things that bind us all as believers.

But as you walk with God, be sensitive to the unique trainings he will begin to introduce into your life. And don’t feel guilty. If he places a burden in your heart for business and you know this is not just canality, go for it. Go for it.

If he places a unique burden for politics in your heart, it is because the fact that you are the one who loves it unusually is a sign that there is grace there.

If everybody becomes a preacher, we are in trouble.

Number one, there will not be enough space for everybody to be a preacher like officially a pool pit preacher. But there is room for everyone to be a witness. A witness.

This Bible is a combination of Abraham plus Sarah plus Elijah plus Esther plus the disciples. All of them together, the Bible calls them elders. They didn’t do the same thing.

In the book of Esther, there was no woman of God. The woman of God was the queen. The one who represented the purposes of God was queen.  Yes. There was no mention of the woman using a sword to fight, but she bettered the program of God.

My passion as a man of God is to raise an apostolic community of witnesses, not just preachers, witnesses.

So I give people a mindset that when you are a banker, carry the same honor as a man of God carries that honor. If you are a worshipper, don’t just see yourself as someone writing songs just to get likes and shares and earn a living. That earn a living mentality will destroy you.

Imagine preachers without the worshippers. Don’t fight anybody’s unique ministry. Respect the individual allocations and appreciate it.

The moment that foundation of prayer, that any ministry you have that demands you must ignore prayer, ignore the word, ignore mentorship, ignore service, ignore consecration, that one is of the devil immediately.

No matter what God has called you to do, there are certain universal practices that must not be compromised. So don’t tell me you are not praying because you are a politician. You are going to be a fake politician that will not even stand the test of time. In fact, the politician even needs to pray more than the man of God because your temptations are visible.

Please do not insult anybody’s ministry. When you find out that God has called someone to the ministry of kingdom financing, if that is not your allocation, appreciate it and respect it. Because one day as you do your own prophetic ministry, that’s the guy who will fund your crusades. By the time you insult him and insult relationship, you will stand on that crusade ground and you will not be able to pay for your bills.

Everybody will not do the same thing, but everybody will represent his purposes.

Those who are financial apostles, there is grace for you. Walk out your consecration and rise.

Those who are called to be apostles on the pupit, prophets on the pupit, it’s time to walk in integrity.

• And let me speak to younger ministers who are rising, be mindful who mentors you. Don’t get into this campaign of pride and arrogance.
• And then number two, make sure you don’t you don’t open up yourself to foolish people who don’t know what they are doing. They teach you all kinds of deceptive, satanic, manipulative practices. No, you are a victim of such. I don’t condemn you, but get out immediately. Have a U-turn with your life.

And I’m praying that preachers will not come into your city who will begin to destroy people like wolves.

I’m praying that prayer that anybody who enters this city to manipulate and destroy, may the two lift gates of the city reject them. That anyone who comes into this city and the job is just to destroy people, manipulate, may the two lift gates of the city reject them.

Those of you who have a grace for business, go for it. Don’t feel bad. Provided it is not ambition. This one is a call. Go for it.

Those of you who are watchmen, intercessors, don’t let anybody mock you because of your time invested in prayer. Stay there. You are needed. Hannah the prophetess is needed so that Jesus arrives. Stay there and pray.

Those of you who are called to be academicians, our universities are waiting for you. Go for the courses. You finish your degree. Go for MSE immediately. Go for PhD immediately. No waiting, no resting.

Go for it. This way. You see, we’ll be fulfilling the third part of the great commission, territorial transformation.

There are many people who will not be saved on the crusade ground, but they will come to your hospital if you build one.

There is a way the gospel must be packaged. The gospel must not always be packaged on caller and Mike alone.

Sometimes you need to put the gospel inside a bag of rice and serve it. Sometimes you need to put the gospel in between paracetamol and serve it

Because every man’s need is his point of contact. And God has raised men to respond to every man’s need. Don’t fight them while they about doing it.

Imagine if there’s nobody in politics in this city to defend the program of God. You can preach all you can, but one policy can frustrate the church. So, we need men there.

While the prayer warriors are praying, the preachers are building, the evangelists are winning, the kingdom financiers are bringing resources, the politicians are helping to defend the program of God. That’s what we call kingdom come.

We are all witnesses. The one giving us the songs to use in worship, you are a witness. The preacher who is preaching with integrity, you are a witness. The professor training our children, you are a witness. The bankers keeping our money, you are a witness.

The TV broadcaster who is bringing visibility to our sermons. You are a witness.

Someone shout, “I’m a witness.” Shout it. Say, “I’m a witness.”

When you have that mentality, you will have the confidence of a preacher even in your restaurant. You will have the confidence of a preacher even in the banking sector. You will not feel guilty.

I’m going to lead us to pray. And among the many or a few prayers we’ll be praying tonight is father show me my place in prophecy. Show me my place. There’s no doubt that I’m a witness. But what is the geography of my assignment? I need to know where you have allocated me.

• If God calls you Elijah, get to prayer immediately. Get there quickly because the prophetic is calling you.
• If God calls you Esther, begin to know how to package yourself.
• If God calls you Mary, it’s time to stop living carelessly because your womb has an assignment. It is going to carry a savior.
• If God calls you Daniel, you must begin to learn how to have an excellent spirit and to learn the ethics of excellence because to the palace you are going.

Daniel was a strange man with a combination of politics and the prophetic politics. Don’t say you are a Daniel if you are only prophetic. You must be prophetic in government. That’s Daniel.

Don’t say you are Elijah until you have the boldness to confront power. If you are timid, you are not Elijah. Find someone else.

If you are Mary and you want to be known, then you will not be great because Mary was a quiet woman. Her ministry was her womb. The woman who wants to fight for position is not Mary. Be Esther but not Mary.

The purpose of the prayer and fasting is to import wisdom to import favor to import knowledge. When you import it you go to the place of visibility society.

Because the church is here. Church of the Lord Jesus Christ begin to engage actively in social welfare programs. Not just preaching, not just miracles. Not everybody needs healing, but everybody needs food. Don’t just engage. Don’t isolate Muslims and throw them away and say, “Go away.” That’s wrong theology. That’s wrong theology. Don’t find yourself fighting. No, that’s wrong theology.

Don’t wait for them to come to church. Take church to them. Rebrand it and take it to them. Start where you are.

Our society must feel our impact, not just our prayer. It is warfare and wisdom. Don’t just bind demons and cast demons alone. Let your society feel your impact. Now you began to walk. Go to the community where you grew up.

Listen, kingdom come is not just prayer and fasting. There is intelligence in execution. The society must feel the impact of the church. Don’t leave it for pastors. It is everybody’s business. So don’t just leave here with impartation. Don’t just fall down and stand up doing nothing.

Go and begin to create social programs. Some of you are intelligent people. Come together as two or three people. Put an empowerment seminar. Put something together. Not just for Christians. Invite everyone.

If all we keep doing is falling and standing up in church, a time will come our city will reject us. There will come a generation that will reject Jesus openly. Don’t wait for them to come. Go to them. The assignment is go. Not just to tell them to come. Go.

There are certain allocations because of the nature of your assignment like the heart. Remember Paul was teaching us this like the intestines the liver they are hidden.

They are hidden does not mean they are weak. They are hidden does not mean they are small. They are hidden means that they have to be in that state to function well. But there are other organs like the skin. It is visible.

Your time is value. When we have this, everybody in the kingdom, you will see that we matter. Just because some people are more visible than others does not mean they are better than others. It is simply a matter of assignment.

So next time you are celebrating the Joshua Selmans, celebrate what God is doing in our lives but not at the detriment of the grace he has given you. Because you too you are great. You too you are special. You are just different.

When you are not visible don’t be angry and say ah those who are visible are better than us. No God kept you there because when certain attacks come those people have the stamina.

Some of you cannot stand persecution. If someone speaks evil of you, you will cry to him forever. Don’t pray for visibility. Then just remain like the heart quietly and allow those who have the stamina to endure while they push.

Like kingdom come is a strategic distribution of witnesses who understand God’s program and have gone through this transitionings in the spirit from salvation to infancy as believers to transformation to empowerment in ever-increasing dimensions

Who understand the structure of God’s program alongside his system of execution that in executing his program. It is not only preachers that are needed. That’s why he called us witnesses.

Some witnesses are called preachers. Some witnesses are called policemen. Some witnesses are called military men. Some witnesses are called mothers. Some witnesses are called fathers. Some witnesses are called security men. Some witnesses are called bankers. Some witnesses are called tailors. Some witnesses are called chefs but together what makes you a witness is not the assignment is the mentality and the purpose.

If it is done God’s way and it is to serve God then you are a witness.

Please pray in the spirit in one minute everybody. Please pray in the spirit in one minute. Pray in the spirit in one minute everybody. Pray in the spirit in one minute.

You’re going to pray for yourself. Father, the grace to be consistent in prayer, the grace to be consistent in the study of the word, the grace to be a man or a woman of character, not one leg in, one leg out, the grace to be on fire. I receive that grace.

The grace to be a man of prayer. The grace to be a woman of prayer. The grace to be a student of the word, to sit down and learn doctrine, to learn the ways of God.

The grace to be a believer with character, solid character. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace. I obtain grace in the name of Jesus that the fire upon my altar will not go down. No going back. No going back. Going upwards. Going higher. Going forward. Making progress spiritually. In Jesus name we pray.

• Now you’re going to pray. Every attack on the prophetic word over my head, every attack over God’s program for my life, every attack to destroy my life, to destroy my integrity, I come against you by the blood.
• Next prayer point. Say unto Accupus that thou take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord that thou fulfill it. You are going to pray for yourself. Father, the mandate you have placed on my life, it will not fail. I will not fail. The mandate you have placed to be a witness on the pulpit, it will not fail. Oh, I will not be a bad testimony that at the end of my life, I will not be used as a negative memorial that people will not use my life to warn others.

Say, “Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, I have heard your word. I have heard your word. I love you. I love you with all my heart. with all my heart. I believe I believe you are the son of God. You are the son of God. I believe I believe you died for my sin. I believe I believe you rose again for my justification. right now. I receive Jesus as my into my heart. into my heart, as my savior, as my as my lord as my lord and as my king. I declare I declare that the power and the power of sin of sin Satan hell and the grave is broken over my life from today and forever I live for Jesus. Amen. Keep your hands lifted. Father, thank you. Your word declares that as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. These many have come declaring your lordship over their lives.

By the authority of scripture, I declare their sins forgiven. And I decree and declare in the name that is above all names that upon your profession of faith, I call you by faith, born recipients of the life of God. I decree and declare that the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is yours. From today, you are recipients of the life of God and the grace to live the victorious life is hereby imparted upon you. You go forward ever and backward never and it’s in Jesus precious name we have prayed.

If you’ve made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior tonight, we celebrate you, and Heaven rejoices with you! We would love to hear from you and walk alongside you on your new Christian journey.

I decree and declare anyone who came here sick in your body and plagued by any demonic assault by the power that raised Christ from the dead, I speak to you, be healed now. From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, be healed now.  Be healed now. I speak over your life because you came here. I speak over your October, your November, your December. I call them months of signs and wonders. Months of signs and wonders. Months of signs and wonders. Supernatural breakthroughs for you in the name of Jesus. I stand in partnership with the graces of the fathers in this land and I declare over you every door that has refused to open from January till now October I speak to that door be opened now. Doors of opportunity be opened now. Doors of jobs be opened now. Doors of advancement be open now. Let me speak over someone who has had a rough year. It looks like Pharaoh has pursued you even though you’ve left Egypt.

Here is a word for you. This Egyptians you see today in the name that is above all names, you will see them no more forever. You will see them no more forever. You will see them no more forever. I declare wisdom on your life. I declare favor on your life in the name of Jesus.

Shout amen seven times. Give Jesus all the praise.
