Going forth in his name and by his authority. I would like you to look at a few scriptures that preceded every commission that we are seeing being released. Either in the Old Testament or in the New Testament, you see every time God comes and says, go! There is always an authority behind.

And it is that authority that we want to engage as we rise from this visions retreat. The authority of his name that says, go in my name. Now, I'm going to ask you just to follow very gently tonight.

It's not going to be too long. And yet, we are going to have to look at, so whenever God said men to go, is there something behind? That if they did not lose sight of, it has always turned their journey around for glory. That each time they arose to go in the name of the Lord, because they were not unaware of the authority that sends them.

They effortlessly saw results. And sometimes many people think that God just said, go! And they thought they were to go in their strength. Or they thought they were to go in their own name.

And so because they did not know, they did not recognize that our going, our responding to this commission is because there is an authority behind us. Many people fear. People fear and say, if I go now and there is nothing, what will I do? It can never happen if you went in his name.

If it is in his name that you have decided to respond to whatever he has asked you to do. God is jealous. He will never allow his name to be dragged to the mud.

Now, let's take it quickly. Now, we have been speaking about the Exodus that took the people of Israel out of Egypt. Out of that powerful oligarchy of Pharaoh that mightily oppressed the people for 400 and something years.

To the point that the people began to cry. And just before that deliverance, that Exodus was going to happen. It appears as if the kingdom of darkness, the powers of Egypt became more reckless.

It appears as if they became much more wicked. Because a time came when they began to say, look, no matter how we made these people to work hard, no matter how we subjected them, they were still multiplying. Their wives are still producing children.

And if we don't do something, they may overtake us population wise. And the wickedness and the wicked counsel in the heart of that king was that every male child that is born in Israel, are you hearing me? Should be slaughtered. Every male child that comes out of the womb right from the labor room, the midwives were told to do what? To exterminate them.

To make sure that before they cry out, all the boys, what were they afraid of? They were looking forward that there could be someone among these boys that God may raise to turn the story of the people around. And the wicked, the wicked counsel of Pharaoh was destroy them. Do you remember that it was in that situation? That with the church, they gave all the midwives.

When the midwives feared God and they were sparing the people because they said, look, even before we get to the place, before the midwives arrived, these women, these Hebrew women, they are very strong. They are not like Egyptian women. They have put above.

So we couldn't perform because they have already delivered their baby before we came. The king was not going to let go. He said, all right, if the midwives do not cooperate, any boy that had been born two years downward, go around from house to house.

If you see any baby behind any woman, just unstrap him. Go straight and check the janitors. If it's a boy, finish with him.

Go and throw him onto River Nile. And Pharaoh charged all his people saying, every son that is born, you shall cast into the river. And every daughter, you shall save alive.

You know the strategy? They believe that daughters are easily assimilatable. They think that women can never stand up to fight for inheritance. So they thought that let's destroy all the male so that the source of reproducing that seed is finished.

You can leave the girls because you will use them for anything you like. And this was the situation and the people of God began to cry. I want you to look at Exodus chapter 2 and see their cry before now you see the divine response and the power behind their going.

Praise the Lord. Now would you like to look at chapter 2 of Exodus? Verse 23, 24, 25 is where we will read. And it came to pass in the process of time that the king of Egypt died.

And the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage. And they cried. And their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

And God heard their groaning. And God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel and God had respect unto them.

It is only when God has decided to rise before he tells anybody to go. Please mark what I've said. God will never ask you to go if he had not already gone ahead.

Every time you hear God say you also go is because heaven has already gone ahead of you. I'm praying that your response to go this time you are going with the full understanding of the name in which you are going. Praise the Lord.

I have come to conclude even from our own little walk with God. That every time God has said something. Maybe because of our own unbelief and narrowness of heart.

We might be postponing and procrastinating and thinking it's not yet time. But any time you move by faith. You just suddenly saw that God has already gone there.

Everything God has asked us to do and we took a step of faith to do it. We suddenly discovered that actually God had gone ahead and he had just been waiting for somebody to take him by his word. And as God has spoken again.

There's a very deep assurance that this is the time. This is the set time. God himself has mobilized himself to walk.

He has gone ahead. You're hearing him say go. Go you also.

Go. It's because heaven is already mobilized to walk and to honor his word in our lives. Not to go is to waste the divine mobilization.

Not to go is to procrastinate what heaven has already planned to happen right away. So when God had turned with favor towards the children of Israel. The next thing he needed was a man to send.

Praise the Lord. God was not going to look for a man when he had not decided to walk. Every time you are hearing God say to you.

You also go. May I say to you in every case without exception. It is because he has gone ahead of you.

If the spirit of God has mobilized you to go. Maybe to a village. Or to take a step to a school.

Or to do something that you thought was never possible and you decided to do. You will only discover that God is been only waiting for you to arise. He has gone ahead.

Praise the Lord. So when God got Moses. You know I am not talking about the call of Moses.

I am just talking about going. Going in his name. When in chapter three.

God finally got Moses. God got his attention. I want you to look at what God said.

Chapter three verse six. Please just follow me. No time to do much explanation.

I just want you to be abreast. With a continuous thing that God has always done from one generation to another. Which I am convinced he is doing now again.

And I just use all of this as an illustration. Before we take our own bearing. Trusting that as we go.

The Lord will confirm his word in your lives in Jesus name. Now he said. I am the God of your father.

Chapter three verse six. The God of Abraham. The God of Isaac.

And the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said.

I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt. And I have heard their cry by reason of their tax masters. For I know their sorrows.

Now look at verse eight. And what? I am come down. I am come down.

To do what? To deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians. Who has come down? Permit me to remind you that God has never sent any man on an errand. That he himself had not yet already come down to execute.

There is nothing that God has ever said to you. Except that he has already come down to execute it. Everything the Holy Ghost is laying on your heart.

My dear brother, rise up. Don't waste God's time anymore. Because ever before he said it to you.

It is because he has come down to execute it. The Bible noted. That God said I have come down.

To deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians. And to bring them up out of that land. Unto a good land and a large.

And unto a land flowing with milk and honey. Unto the place of the Canaanites. The Hittites.

The Amorites. The Perizzites. And the Hivites.

And the Jebusites. Now therefore behold. The cry of the children of Israel is come unto me.

And I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppressed them. Come now therefore. Excuse me.

What is the reason for the word therefore in that verse? Because I have come down. There is no commission. Listen carefully brothers and sisters.

That anybody has ever received. That does not contain that little word. Therefore.

If your mind should quickly go to the great commission. That we have been reading over and over again. Matthew chapter 28.

Do you know that Matthew 28. Came and began with what? Therefore. And you will notice.

That what preceded it said. All authority in heaven and on earth. Has been given to me.

Therefore. Go. God is not sending you to a suicide bombing.

He is sending you to a place. Where he has already come to walk. And to gain the victory.

If your ears will open. You will soon discover that. As soon as you arise and say.

Now Lord I am going. You will just suddenly discover that. He was already there before you.

Once you say Lord. Yes I am going. You will soon suddenly discover.

That there is already a provision. There is already someone there. There is already someone whose heart has been touched.

Waiting. Because God has come down to walk. There is always a therefore in every commission.

And that therefore is because of the authority. The power. The readiness of the almighty God to walk.

That is the therefore of every commission. That we have received. Praise the Lord.

Come now therefore. And I will send you to Pharaoh. That thou mayest.

Hallelujah. That thou mayest do what? I am not hearing you. Read your Bible.

That thou mayest go and die there. That thou mayest go and struggle and struggle until you are finished. Is that what God said? What did they say? Come now therefore.

And I will send you to Pharaoh. That thou mayest. Bring forth my people.

The children of Israel out of Egypt. Did you see God? As I am sending you. I want you to go and do what? Bring my people out.

How conclusive that is. I have come down to deliver them. I have seen their oppression.

And I can no longer sit in heaven. I have already come down to deliver them. You now therefore come.

I will send you to go to Pharaoh. That you may bring forth my people. Every time God sends you to do a thing.

Is because. Heaven has already. Already.

Been mobilized. To execute it. But because God needed your own hand.

He needed your mouth. That's why he's saying. Come and go.

The testimonies. That several of us have had. Continue to confirm this.

You continue to prove that. Oh so what God said. Secretly to us.

And we were trembling as if. As if. As if it will not come to pass.

When we simply believe God. We suddenly discover that. God.

Has already come down. To execute it. So when he said.

And Moses began to say to God. Look at Moses. Who am I? Who am I? That I should go on to Pharaoh.

And that I should bring forth the children of Israel. Out of Egypt. You know.

Did you see that Moses did not understand something? What did he not understand? He did not. It did not occur to him. That verse eight had been spoken.

What is in verse eight? I am come down. To do what? Therefore come. I am sending to go and bring them forth.

Then he began to say. Who am I? Excuse me sir. This commission is not because of who you are.

This commission is not because of your strength. This commission is not because of your experience. This commission is not because of your expertise.

This commission is not because of your. Muscle and your energy. The question of who am I? Does not arise here.

Even if you are a dog. And God chooses to use the hand of a dog. To collect what he has already executed.

What is your problem about that? You are not talking to me again. I say even if you saw yourself as a useless dog. But God decided and said.

Oh useless dog. I will go in my name and collect the victory that I have already wrought. What is your problem about that? Is that somebody who is going to say.

Lord even though I look as if I am a tiny rat. Even though it appears as if I have nothing. I can't speak.

I can't do anything. But in your name I will go. The victory I am going to collect is your victory.

I am only your representative to conquer it. Lord I will go. Praise the Lord.

And as he began to discuss. I am. Who am I? That I should go to Pharaoh.

And that I should bring forth the children of Egypt. God immediately interrupted him. You know he had not finished what he was saying.

And God said certainly I will be with you. And this shall be a talking to you that I have sent you. When you are brought forth the people out of Egypt.

You will serve God upon this mountain. Can you imagine that? Hallelujah. God is saying and this will be your talking.

When you will have brought them out. There is no question of whether you will bring them out or not. You will bring them out.

Did you hear God speaking like that? There is no question about whether you will get them. No I am not going to get them out. Because I have already come down to deliver them.

And for you to know when you brought them out. When you have brought them out. You come here to this mountain.

And you and them. You and the redeemed. You will do what? You will worship the Lord here.

You will serve me here. Hallelujah. I am already seeing something.

I don't know whether you see what I am seeing tonight. I am already seeing that. This thing that God is asking us to go.

And do. The result is already certain. The result is already definite.

And me and you. Are you hearing me? We will come. But you know when I say we will come to this.

You know that this is no more going to take us. We will report when God brings us back. Hallelujah.

To celebrate. To begin to say look at what God has done. Look at what God has brought about.

Look at the things that the Holy Spirit. Has caused by our feeble hands to accomplish. In a short time.

In a short while. In a way that people will bow down and say. What kind of thing has happened here? Because it is not about you.

It is not about your expertise. It is not about your wisdom. It is not about your experience.

It is not about your age. It is not about you. It is him.

He said I am come down. Praise the Lord. Don't worry about all.

That Moses spoke and spoke and spoke about. Because he said Lord when I come to them now. They shall say to me.

Who sent you? What is his name? You know why he was saying that? How many of you remember why he was saying that? Because he went when God has not come down before. Oh my God. Did you hear what I am talking about? When he went before.

We didn't hear God say I have come down. In fact the Bible said. He presumed.

That the people will have known. That God will deliver them. By his hand.

He presumed. Neither God has ever spoken to him and said I have come down. He just thought that now since I am from the palace.

And I have the rod. I can just hit somebody's head. And I just kill one.

And then next week I kill another one. And the people will know that I am now their leader. He was presumptuous.

Some of you are disappointed because you went before in presumption. And so some of you are saying no, no, no. I don't want to go now, now, now, now.

Then who sent you? At that time what were you going for? At that time were you not going to do something for show? Were you not just struggling to demonstrate that you also can do something? At that time has God dealt with Mr. Flesh in your heart? At that time were you not having an emotive of the heart that you want to become known? Did you not set up the work you thought you were doing just to compete with somebody? All of this, God had to withdraw some of us out and put us in a corner until he dealt with those issues in our lives. When God saw that the kind of thing he wants to do, he couldn't come down to do it with men that are not prepared. Men that are not circumcised.

Men that are not being delivered from their own personal selfish ambition. The whole thing did not work. Some of us, we tried but heaven was not there.

Heaven was closed because God said, look at you, can I use you? But the time, that time, for Boramus, 40 years ago, God said, I have now come down. You see, when I read the Bible, I say, oh God, I have now come down. Then you didn't come down.

He said, no, I didn't come down then because number one, it was not time. Number two, this man was not prepared. Number three, Egypt is still inside of him.

An Egyptian cannot cast out an Egyptian. You cannot use the method of Egypt to cast out Egypt. It was impossible.

Do you remember that when brother Moses, when he got to the house of Jethro, the girls, the daughters of Jethro, when he had helped them to fetch water and they went back home, what did they say to their father? An Egyptian helped us. This is Moses. But as at the time that he was landing in Jethro, he was killed by every measure.

What? An Egyptian. And God needed to remove the Egyptian from him. Take away Egypt and the spirit of Egypt from inside of him so that it can become a vessel, an empty vessel for God to use.

But when God has achieved that, he now said, come now, I'll send you. Brothers, may I say to you something quick. What God will do now will be unprecedented.

The way we are going to see God break forth in our midst, in our lives, and by our hands, we will be having an unusual manifestation of the power of God. And people will be wondering and say, ah, when did you become like this? Do you remember that some people that remember Moses who didn't die, who could remember 40 years ago, immediately they were saying, ah, something has happened to him. When did he become like this? There are still some people that have not died in the land and they will be wondering, say, when did this thing happen? There are people that, that, that they are waiting to see whether the promises of God will come to pass.

And God will show them by your hand. Brothers and sisters, I just want to tell you something, I don't know how to put it, I don't want you to misunderstand me, but I want you to know. There are some of you sitting here, young people you are.

Fire is coming on your life. Fire. We can't stop it.

The young man that came and sang, did you say he was only responding? And I'm waiting for his response. There are several of you, some are just finishing their universities. And God is saying, now, it is my turn to work on you, to use you.

Don't take that lightly. When things will begin to break forth, this young man that God is, is asking me to loose, he said loose the cords. And we're going to loose you from here.

And dress you to carry the king to where he wants to go. And the kind of thing that God will be doing through your own lives, will be beyond what we could do. If you will do less than what I'm doing, then it's a waste.

It's a waste. Then there was no reason for all that, that God has been asking me to do. But some of you standing here, listen.

You are beginning where we are stopping. You won't, look, you won't be digging all this kind of thing that we dug. You need to be here when we're digging these poles.

And planting poles here. But that's not where you are starting from. All that we have done before is in preparation for this time.

All the instructions, all the teachings, all the meticulous explanation of how to work with God, how to serve God, was all in preparation for this time, for this time. And so you see the word of God saying, I have come down. Praise the Lord.

By the time God was finishing with this brother, and said, you go now, I am with you. If they ask you, who is it that sent you? The Lord said to Moses, tell them, I am that I am has sent me to you. Did you hear that kind of statement? He said, when you get there, I am that I am.

And thus thou shalt say to the children of Israel, I am has sent me unto you. I've not come by myself now. I am has sent me to you.

Praise the Lord. Are you here with me at all? Go ye in his name. Go ye with an understanding of the personality behind the commission.

Go ye. Not because of what you know how to do, but because the time for God to work has already come. Praise the Lord.

And by the time God gave him strategy, go gather all the elders and say to them, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, appear to me saying, I have surely visited you. And I've seen that which is done to you in Egypt. And I have said, I will bring you up out of the afflictions of Egypt onto the land of the Canaanites.

And God repeated everything. They will hear your voice. And thou shalt come, you and the elders of Israel to the king of Egypt.

And you will say to him, the Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us. You know, as I was looking at their message, what they were to go and say, it was interesting. Imagine that they just went to the palace and Moses was leading a team of elders and they went to meet Pharaoh and said, we need to see the king.

The first time in their life. Are you understanding? Imagine when captives walk to the palace and they are demanding their unconditional release. That was strange.

Said the Lord God of the fathers, the God of the Hebrews has appeared to us. He has met with us. And he has sent us to tell you, let my people go.

You know, even the way that message was to be declared is not normal. Is it normal? But they were acting in the name of him. The I am that I am that sent them.

Praise the Lord. And so that nobody will be surprised. God began to tell Moses, surely I know.

I know the king of Egypt. I know him. I know he's very stubborn.

I know he will not let you go unless a mighty power, a mighty hand does what compels him. And God said, and behold, I will stretch my hand. Are you there? Verse 20.

And I will stretch out my hand and smite it with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof. And after that, he will let you go. Praise the Lord.

That was what happened. That was how Moses did what had been impossible for 430 years. What nobody imagined could happen overnight.

One night like this. Hallelujah. When God had come down, it could not look the kind of thing we are reading.

It's not normal. It's not natural. Even if you want to deliver people that have been in bondage for several years, it has to be little by little.

Huh? And that was what Mr. Pharaoh was proposing. He said, you can't all go now. Leave your children.

Leave your wives. You know, Pharaoh knew that where your treasure is, there will your heart be. If you leave your children, you leave your wives.

Can they go far? Suddenly, they will start hearing the cry of their wives. They said, let's go back. Where are we going, Seth? My wife and my children are back there.

Let's go back. Pharaoh knew, but brother Moses knew. He said, we are not going to leave a hoof in Egypt.

We are going. Everything that belongs to us, we carry it at once. That was the contention.

But if you read your Bible, very well. And you come to the end of that story in chapter 12. Is it chapter 12 or chapter 13? Please check.

You will see where the exodus honestly took place. And how every man was delivered. And they did not go empty handed.

Exodus. From verse 31, chapter 12, verse 31. Bring the mic, brother Charles.

Quickly. So Pharaoh rose in the night. He and all his servants and all the Egyptians.

There was a great cry in Egypt. For there was not a house where there was not one dead. Then he called for Moses.

And they ran by night. And said, rise. Go out from among my people.

Both you and the children of Israel. And go. Serve the Lord as you have said.

Also take your flogs and your heads as you have said. And be gone. And bless me also.

God is going to force your oppressor to release you. You see, what they thought. He said, this night.

Come and go now. Now. Get.

Go, go, go, go. With all your children. With all your flogs.

Everything. Please go. Go.

Go on reading, sir. And the Egyptians urged the people. That they might send them out of the land in haste.

For they said, we shall soon all be dead. If we did not let these people go now. We will all be dead men.

Let them just go. So verse 35. Yes, sir.

Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses. They had asked from the Egyptians. Articles of silver.

Articles of gold and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. So that they granted them what they requested.

Thus they plundered the Egyptians. Can you imagine? As if they put a wool in their mouth. They would just go and face one Egyptian.

Madam. We are leaving tonight. I need the bracelet of gold on your neck.

The silver that you are wearing. Bring it out. And raiment.

We need all these clothes that you are wearing. And the Egyptians. You know what happened to them? They said, look.

Whatever you want to collect, just collect. Because if we wait till tomorrow morning. We will all be dead men here.

So they willingly, willingly by themselves. They were removing everything and putting to the children of Israel. So the Bible says, so the children of Israel plundered the Egyptians.

They spoiled them. By the time they woke up in the morning. They discovered that all that the treasure they have.

Children of Israel have gone with it. Yes, sir. 40.

Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt. Was 430 years. It came to pass at the end of the 430 years.

On that very same day. That very same day. It came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

It is a night of solemn observance to the Lord. For bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord.

It is a solemn observance for all the children of Israel. This is that night of the Lord. That one night.

What had been impossible for 430 years. Happened. What men could not imagine.

Because God was ready to walk. Do you want to believe God with me? Do you want us to rise in faith to go and collect what heaven has already executed on our behalf? Would you like to go? Not because you are strong. No, no, no.

But because God said, I have come down. Whatever opposition you think you will meet. It is only for God's power to be made manifest.

Praise the Lord. Now listen carefully. What we are talking about in the course of this visions retreat.

Is a new dimension. What some of you are used to. So, it's a small, small, small, small.

So you say, even if God is going to move at this, it will take another 20 years. That's you. That's you.

That's your thinking. That's your thinking. That's not what God told us now.

That's not the way God has spoken concerning this new phase of his move in our midst. I am, you see, when we are crossing the night into this new year and God say, I offer my hand to you. The next phase of what you are crossing into now is not just a change of calendar.

You are entering to the set time for the things I have been speaking about to come to pass. When the set time for the thing comes, even if it didn't look likely yesterday. Oh, my brothers.

Can I ask you? The night before that night, did anybody expect it? Do you know that when the children of Israel were telling the man, let us say you are going nowhere. You are going nowhere. You will serve me here till you die.

He didn't know that God was going to bring out this final, this final matter. And he did not know that God has already told the children of Israel, this night, this night, you are living here. Oh, my God.

The Passover was a miraculous move of God. It's one revival that I don't know how to describe. Can you imagine God was saying to them, tonight you are moving.

All of you please get ready. You are moving. The children of Israel himself, they couldn't understand how we are going to move.

Are you getting me? God told them and said, you are going to have a Passover feast now. You are eating your last meal in Egypt. This is the last meal and you are going to eat it how? In haste.

Because tonight, tonight, you are going. The children of Israel don't just understand. All that happened was that God told them, take a lamb, slaughter it every house, every house.

Let there be a lamb per house. And sprinkle the blood on the lintel of the house. And inside, make sure you kill that lamb and sit down, eat it in haste.

Because this night, you are living. So how did they eat the Passover? They ate it in haste. Look at their load on one hand.

They were also acting in faith. Are they acting in faith? Ah. When the angel of destruction went around the land of Egypt that night.

And all the first born, suddenly, at once. It's not that one died five hours ago, another one died three hours after. In one hour.

When God wants to work, don't dare God. Just believe God. Did I ask you to believe God? Did I ask you that let something rise in your heart now.

So that this response, this going, will be going in his name. Do you know that one night, in one hour, every house was crying? You are not understanding what I'm saying? Can you imagine that somebody died in this neighborhood? The next compound, the first born died. All the first borns.

Not just one first born. Let's imagine that somebody is a grandfather. Are you understanding? And he is the first born of his own father.

And then his own children, his own first born. Also had another first born. Did you understand it now? So in a family where there are... What happened now? The first born grandfather died.

The first born father died. The first born son died. Who will comfort another person? No.

Before you know it, all the first born catchers. Anything they had that was first born was dead also. In one hour.

You know sometimes when you have not taken time to study who this God is. You just read that scripture as if it's just a casual story. It's because you didn't know what happened that night.

And while they were crying here. Another house was crying. And my father who is the first son of his own father is also dead.

In one hour. In one hour. Before you know it, the next house, the next house, the next house.

In one hour. And the whole land of Egypt. There was no house that did not have a dead man.

Pharaoh woke up that night. He said, ah. This night.

Come and go. Come and go. Come and go.

All of you go. All the children of Israel, get out of this place now. Take your catcher, anything you have here, go.

Anything you need for us to give you, collect it. Collect it and just go. Please go.

When you are going, just please remember me, bless me also. Hi. When God rises to walk.

The impossible just happened just like that. When it is God who sent you. And he has already come down.

Don't imagine the way God walks as the way human beings walk. As I send you forth in the name of the Lord. You will see God at work.

You will see unprecedented move of God. The kind of unusual increase, unusual manifestation of God at work. That we have never seen before.

We are about to see it now. He said, the things I told you before have come to pass. All the prophetic predictions I gave you before, they have come to pass.

But now, new things I announce. It has never been before. Now, I am creating it.

It will spring forth. Any of you that have hearts here, and you are hearing me tonight. I just want you to do only one thing.

Go. Go to see the glory of the Lord. In the land of the living.

Go to see God. Take over your secondary school. Go to see what God can do.

If it was just what we thought we can do, I wouldn't talk like this. But God is saying, the time for him to arise has come in our time. And the things that God told us before, we have seen it.

When it is God, you can't stop it. But all of this that I am talking about, God said, all of those ones is nothing. Compare with what he wants to do.

Because, look, each one of you, each one of you. That you are hearing God. You are hearing God.

God has roared in your ears. There is a space where you are going to do something that will baffle even you and your colleagues. Your family, they will open their mouth, they say, ah, is this the boy we deliver? That's where we have reached.

In one night, Exodus was a miracle that I don't know how to describe. Because that was God at work. I know that you always describe about the story of the plague.

How the frauds and the lies and the flies and the cockroaches. No, all of those things were ordinary things. That night.

When God stood up to take his people out of Egypt. He took them by a mighty hand. Hallelujah.

In one night, everywhere was crying. The only place, the only houses where there are no crying is in Goshen. Who are the people living in Goshen? Only where the Israelites are.

That's where they are jubilating. Everywhere else, they are all crying. I don't know whether you... If I could dramatize it, you would have seen what has happened.

Imagine that the children of Israel, they came into a house. Somebody is still weeping over his first born son. And the Israelite entered and said, we are leaving tonight.

And we cannot go here empty handed. There is a box of gold that you have in your house there. Bring it out here now.

That silver, bring it out here. This raiment, bring it. Bring it now.

We need it now. You don't waste my time because I'm going now. And something was witnessing in the heart of the Egyptians.

If you don't bring this thing out now and allow these people to go. By the morning, you are all dead men here. So how did they do it? They ran quickly in haste.

They were bringing out their treasure. Please collect it. Please sir, please.

Keep, move, move quickly. Please move. One night.

You need to see it. I wish there was a video that you could look at. You need to see how the children of Israel were moving.

That night. Everybody was leaving Egypt. And they were leaving Egypt with loads and goods.

Nobody left empty handed. Egyptians. They were saying, hey.

May the God of Israel not kill all of us. Let them just go. Let them just go.

By the morning, all the children of Israel have left. Then Egyptians woke up. They said, what has just happened to us now? What is it that has happened to us? They are gone.

The people that used to serve us, they are no more here. The people that used to bring firewood, they are gone. And they did not go alone.

They collected my wedding gown. If it is God, the kind of result you are going to see will baffle you. Is anybody here who is willing to believe God? Who is going to say, Lord, forth in your name I go.

As you have spoken, I go in your name. Because he who sends you all powers in heaven and on earth has been given to him. Praise the Lord.

Now, can you remember? When it was time for God to deliver the children of Israel under the hand of brother Gideon. Do you remember? It is almost the same story. God said, I have seen the affliction of my people.

Can you turn to George's chapter 6? Charles, can I ask you to read chapter 6 from verse 8? And please read on. Just read. And you see what God can do.

So, from chapter 6 from verse 8. That the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel who said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage. And I delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you. And drove them out before you and gave you their land.

Also, I said to you, I am the Lord your God. Do not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But you have not obeyed my voice.

Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the Terebin tree which was an opera which belonged to George the Abiezrite. While his son Gideon in order to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.

Gideon said to him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And we are all his miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. Then the Lord turned to him and said, Go in this might of yours and you shall save Israel from the hands of the Midianites. Have I not sent you? So he said to him, Oh my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh and I am the least in my father's house.

And the Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you. Do you see a repeated word here? What was that repeated word? Surely I will be with you and I will deliver the Midianites into your hand. Did you see that? God never sends a man on an errand unless he has come down by himself to do what? To execute it.

Gideon was still saying, How? How will I? But you see, God already saw a man who has never fought one battle before. And God said, Thou mighty man of valor. How could God say that? If not that God, who himself is the mighty man of valor.

I hope you know that God is only speaking about himself. When he said, Thou mighty man of valor. He was only saying, As I will go with you, as I will put my hand in your hand, I will transfer something to you and people will see you as a mighty man of valor because I, the Lord, I will be with you.

And look at Gideon that night. Gideon said, Sir, How will I know this? The more he spoke, the Lord said, You are the right man. Go in this your might and you will do what? You will deliver Israel.

Please help me read that verse again. And the Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man. Can you imagine God? These Midianites we are talking about, they are not a small group.

They are like grasshoppers for multitude. They have chariots of war. They have been oppressing the people of God for years.

And God is saying, The way you will defeat them as if they are just one man. As if you just went and you caught only one man and finished him. That's how they will all be dead because I will deliver them to your hand.

And what nobody imagined will happen. And let me inform you now. Again, this issue, God came to him that evening and by night, something had changed about Gideon.

What did he do? That same night, he went and broke down all the altars of Baal in his father's company. He destroyed everything. So by the time people were waking up in the morning, they were saying, Who destroyed it? Who destroyed it? When they discovered that it was Gideon, that Gideon slaughtered and scattered Baal because he had met God that night.

Gideon was doing something now that nobody could attempt to do. Do you know since when they have been going up and down with the God of Baal? But that night, one man that God has encountered in obedience slaughtered everything. And when the people gathered and said, Bring him.

We will kill him here. The father said, Excuse me please. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Did you say you will kill him? Where was Baal when he was slaughtering his altar? Why couldn't Baal kill him? Let's wait and see what Baal can do. These boys in Gwendele scattered everything that we have been worshipping for many years and the gods didn't do him anything.

It means maybe those gods are not gods after all. Let's wait. Do you know that from that day they changed brother Gideon's name? What is his name now? Jerubah.

What is the meaning of Jerubah? Jerubah. The conqueror of Baal. The one that slaughtered Baal.

So as he was moving about they said, Jerubah. Jerubah. That's the boy that killed Baal.

And suddenly this man blew a trumpet. I am trusting God that you won't finish this meeting without going to blow a trumpet. You see, I couldn't imagine how Gideon alone, a small boy, the last born of his father's compound, how he rose up in obedience to God's word.

When he blew a trumpet and the kind of thousands of people that threw behind him, even that itself is a sign of revival. But God was going to do something spectacular. God said, look these 32,000 I can't use them because many of them serve as not finished.

They will boast themselves against me. They will not give me the glory. I don't need them.

Ah, Gideon, let me help you sort them out. Go and announce. Now, if anybody is afraid, if anybody is this, if you have built a house, you have not lived in it, if you have married a wife, you have not slept with her, all of that, go back.

And one announcement, 22,000 of them went. God was saying, you see now, these people have no business in what I want to do. They only want to occupy space for nothing.

Send them away. Then 10,000 remained. And God said, even these 10,000, they are too much.

We don't need all of them now. I will show you the people I will use to deliver the Midianites to your hand. By the time that God did the screening, you know the screening, we are not talking about that tonight, only 300.

300 men. And God said, Gideon, by these 300 men, I will deliver the Midianites into your hand as one man. Is anybody going to be another Gideon in this meeting? I don't know.

Is there going to be another Gideon here? A young man that wants to be a Gideon for God. Can I see your hand up? Aha. Thank you very much.

A young man, I say, even though they said nobody can do it, I'm going back. I'm going back to do it in my village. I'm going back.

I'm going to face, you know. I was checking my notes. I was checking my notes of many years.

And in my notes, I saw what I went to do with my people. I gathered all of them to the family shrine. We stood in that shrine.

I got everybody you know, I just said that, you know, I just did, I just said, there's going to be a family meeting at Baba's shrine. And Baba said, all of you should come. Ah, so you know, when they heard that kind of news, those that were married out, those that were working in different places, those were outside the town, I got a way of sending to them all of them were coming.

All of them were coming. They were all coming. Because nobody has sent this kind of urgent message to them before.

And I said, my father, who is the, who is the big man that they feared? Because he was the priest of all the Jews. They were running. So, and I told Baba, I said, there's going to be a meeting and I want you to prepare because I'm bringing all your family members here.

There's a matter we need to discuss. He said, which matter is that? I said, when we come? I kept everybody in suspense. Praise the Lord.

Kept them all in suspense. So, they were all arriving. When they would arrive, they would go quickly to see Baba in the shrine.

Say, you sent for us. He said, no, I'm not the one who, it is that boy that is sending for all of you. Let's wait and hear what he was going to say.

Then, this one will arrive, this one will arrive. Some people came all the way from Lagos. They said, Baba, we heard an important message that you need all of us to come.

He looked at me, I said, what kind of thing is this? You mean you have sent to all these people? I said, yes, because it's an urgent matter and everybody must be here. So, when they all sit, everybody sat down. I went and carried Bible.

Everybody was quiet, wondering what is this man, what am I going to say? My father was watching. I said, the Lord Almighty has asked me to call this important family meeting. All relatives, all the women that were married out, you all need to come and sit in this family shrine so that you can hear what the Lord Almighty has asked me to say to you.

They were like, ah. So, I began this message. Oh, it was terrible.

Of course, I faced trouble that day. As I was going on, somewhere boiling, because I was saying all these things that we are worshipping, we are sitting on this shrine, it can do nothing. Ah.

One of my senior brothers jumped up. He said, stop it. I will deal with you here.

You can't be insulting our father here and our sons. I said, no, no, no, it's not an insult. We are telling the issues.

Since we have been worshipping this thing, what has it done to you? It was tough. When the meeting finished, of course, it didn't finish with a prayer. It finished with, some wanted to beat me up.

Another person said, no, leave him alone. My father said, you, you have decided to disgrace me here? You brought all my people? I said, for your information, Baba, all these people, all of them, they will cross over to my side, the side of Jesus. He said, over his dead body.

I said, no, even you will be alive. You yourself, you will cross over to this side. They said, no, no, no, no, everybody got annoyed and they were going.

Only one Baba stood with me and said, let us hear what he is saying now. He said, if you want to hear what he is saying, you have to grab him. But they have heard.

You don't know what happened. Everywhere they were going, in the taxi, when they entered, they are talking, they said, come and see, come and see, this boy, who is the son of the strongest Abalis in the town, come and see what he gathered all of us to say to us. Hey, this thing has entered his head.

We don't know what will happen now. We don't know what is going to happen now. They were talking.

So people that were in the taxi, they were coming back and said, what did you do? Because we learned that they were talking about you. I was also in a taxi and they were discussing, they didn't know I was the one. But you know, I was just excited that something has broken.

Praise the Lord. So the question is this, if you will not stand and stand for God, how will God demonstrate his power? How will God show forth his power? When Gideon stood up, yesterday, before Gideon stood up, the bondage of Midianites was intact. Am I right? But this night, when he stood up and scattered bad, the story changed.

From that moment, the story changed. Somebody is going to change that story here. And wherever you are, and wherever you are listening to us, because I also discovered that some people are watching this message.

And I'm realizing that it means that even what we thought was our local meeting, is already beyond us. So what will you do tonight? It's to arise. So when Gideon arose, I just look at how that battle was executed.

Can you imagine they did not shoot a gun as they were just going? Midianites were hearing a very terrible noise. And they were beginning to shoot one another and said, before you come, this is the sword of Gideon. This is the sword of Gideon.

Gideon only got there with his 300 men to gather the spoils. Can you trust God with me tonight? Go in in his name. Go in because of his authority.

So now go back and now read our passage of Matthew 28. Matthew 28, please. This is about where we're going to stop to begin to pray.

If we have space, I would have wanted you now to take it and go to the New Testament, go to the Acts of Apostles, go to each of the time they went. If you go to the Acts of Apostles, you will see that they only went in his name. And when they went in his name, what nobody could ever imagine began to happen.

God is going to, did I say God is going to surprise you? I want to tell you that God is going to do what he says and we will see him manifest his glory in our day in the name of Jesus Christ. Chapter 28, verse 18. Brother Charles, would you like to help us read chapter 28, verse 18 of Matthew.

Verse 18. 18, yes sir. And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth, yes. Go therefore, go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations. That is where you should go.

Please, don't go as if there is no authority. Don't go as a beggar. Don't go as someone who is uncertain.

Don't go as if what God is saying we should do, he is not there to execute it. As you rise now, go in the name of the Lord. He will bear his name on your behalf.

He will honor his name every time you stand in that name. And, if it is his word you declare, he will confirm his word. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations.

Yes, go ahead. Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.

And lo, I am with you always. Even to the end of the age. How long am I going to be with you? Always.

Now, never you forget that. Never you forget that we are going in his name, and with his presence. The difference is that he is there.

Never you forget that you are not alone. Everything you stand up to do from now henceforth, he will be there. Don't forget that it's not about you.

And don't forget that he who asks you to go is also going with you. Oh my God, I don't know, am I communicating at all? I know your, your understanding first. When you say, go! If I ask, is that, brother come out here.

I need a brother here. Brother, just come. Brother Levi should come.

The two of them should come. Come up here. Come up here.

You know your first understanding when we say, What is the understanding I say? Bobby, go. Go. You know that's the understanding that I am here and I'm doing what? I'm sending him and he's going alone but that's not what he wanted.

What did he say? Go into all the world. No! I am where? Did you see what we are talking about? That you must never forget. But you see, what is God decided to do? He decided to put you in front.

He decided to front you. But the real worker is him. When you start speaking, you will just be speaking.

But the one that will hit somebody's head. So let's imagine now. Go and speak.

Go and face Sam. Go and face Sam. Be talking to Sam.

Be talking to Sam. You see, as he is preaching, come and see him who causes things to happen. He knocks.

He says, bow your knee. Bow your knee. Suddenly, this man, bow your knee now.

And he gets on his knees and says, please pray for me. I didn't know I had been a terrible sinner all along. My life has been scattered.

How did it come about that? He He said, when you go, the Holy Ghost that convicts sinners is with you. I am just, he is just speaking. But the real worker is there doing the work.

Convicting the sinner. Bringing me on his knees. Suddenly, you see them weeping.

You are not the one who causes them to weep. Who is causing them to weep? The master who is with you. When we preach, never you think that it is your word that is the issue.

The real issue is that he, the power of God, is with you to cause things to happen. To confirm his word. You need only to announce.

But the worker who is God himself is with you. Let's keep going. Then you will notice that he, the Lord, will begin to pull his hair.

I say you like this. For many years they have been talking to you. You never listen.

Today is the day. Kneel down there. Before you know it.

This strong man is suddenly saying, but I thought it was Levi that is speaking. But I was hearing something else. I saw the Lord.

The Lord was saying, you are a stubborn young man. How long will I be struggling with you? Suddenly. But you see, the Lord cannot go unless he has a man that he can go with.

That's why we are talking about. If the Lord will not have a man that he can go with, then his work cannot be done. Say Lord, I am with you to the close of the age.

So when you read it in Mark, it said, and they went everywhere. The Lord, doing what? Working with them. Confirming their word with signs and what? And wonders.

That is the understanding that you must have about the commission. Every time we speak about the commission, we don't understand the commission in the light of how God wanted it. We have always said, go, go.

Go, I'm sending you. And you think as if God is on the mountain. And then you are going on your own.

No. He said, no. I am with you always.

Always. Always. So when brother Peter was facing this injury, and he said, you men and brethren, this man Jesus, whom you crucified, where was Jesus? He was there.

So while they were listening, they thought they were listening to a fisherman. Suddenly, Jesus, who convicts sinners, was turning their hearts. They were pricked.

They started crying. They started crying. They forgot that Peter was a fisherman.

They forgot. Nobody remembers his torture. Nobody remembers his education.

Nobody remembers anything else. They just knew that they are meeting something serious. And thousands of them.

Going in response to this great commission. Please understand. Moses did not go except the Lord said, I have come down to deliver them.

So come and go and collect them. That was what happened. When it was Gideon, the Lord came down, said, surely I will be with you.

Did you understand? Say go, in this your might. I will be with you. And I will deliver.

So you know, my understanding is that as he went, to face the Midianites, as he was coming, the Lord went and dismantled all the Midianites and handed them over to Gideon. They didn't say, they didn't know. What was it that made them to become like like Mumu? In the hand of Gideon, they didn't know.

They didn't know that there's an invisible power that has come to work. Brothers and sisters, as we go this year, are you going alone? No. I am going with you.

The worker of God's work is the Lord himself. So when you go on a crusade, never you think you are going alone. When you declare the word of the Lord, expect the Lord, the worker, to honour his word, to confirm his word, to bring result to his word.

That's how to go. That's how they went. That's why fishermen can go and a whole land will be trembling because the Lord was with them.

That's the testimony that concluded the book of Mark. See, and the Lord was with them confirming their word. It's God confirming their word.

When they say a word like this, God will come quickly and do what? Confirm it and make sure it happens. He makes sure it takes place. That's the kind of going that I hear God saying, I will go with you.

Why would you be afraid when he, the worker, is actually going? He only want to front you. Go, go. Go in this your mind.

And as they went, as they went, I was just listening. What did Peter preach? And thousands were turning. How did preacher Peter preach? What prayer did he preach? And the man that was crippled jumped up.

And as they were looking at him, he said, are you looking at us? I said, it's by our power. No, no, no. That same Jesus, before he finished, 5,000 were already crying, coming to the Lord.

Can I tell you you will see the Lord at work in the course of this year. You will see the Lord confirming his own word through your feeble mouth. Because it is time for him to do what he says he will do.

As we arise from this meeting, are we rising on our own to go alone? No. He's going with you. That's the difference.

Every assignment that I'm hearing God declaring for me to do, I look by my side, I look here, and I hear him say, I'm with you. We are doing it together. We are getting into that thing together.

You are going to see my glory because I'm going to be there. If he just say, go, go on your own. If you have problem, call on me.

If that was it, it would be a different matter. But as I'm hearing him say, Lord, I am with you to the close of the age. If the Lord said, carry me to your village and gather all the clan heads, listen to me.

Don't say, ah, they will not listen. It's not about you, they will listen. Just go from house to house.

I said there's a meeting we need to do in this district and all the fathers need to gather. And of course, when you want to gather men like that, the least you can do is to look for one small goat. Slaughter it.

God will give you the goat. You have no problem. Once it is for God, you will see provision becoming.

You'll be surprised when they come and they are eating meat. They now say to our son, what is it that you called us for? Aha! You bring the word of God. You will see what you have never seen before.

It will surprise you that God has gone ahead of us. But if we will not go, who will God confirm? Who will make God visible among our people if we will not go? So he said, I am with you always even unto the end of the world. That means everywhere we carry him to, he will be there.

He will be there to show forth his power. So if you read Mark, that was what they did. Look at the end of their story in Mark.

I have noted it but I just want you to see. So, verse 19 and verse 20 can you read that for us? So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere.

And they went out, they went forth and preached everywhere. The Lord walking with them and confirming the word. Walking with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.

Amen. Through the accompanying signs. God was confirming his word.

They went everywhere. If they did not go, what will God confirm? So as I stop here tonight, I want to call on you. Go ye in his name.

The great commission is because all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him. And as I'm looking at all the various issues that God has been pointing at, different aspects of the vision that God is pointing to you is saying, go, I'll be with you. Every aspect of God's work that heaven is advertising to you, if you will take a step, you will see the glory of God.

You will see God doing beyond what you could ever imagine from this time. All I want to conclude with tonight is to see God rejoicing that I have spoken to obedient children. I have spoken to men and women who will not disappoint me.

I have spoken to my sons and my daughters who will rise to go and do what I've told them to do so that again this evening the earth may experience the overflooding of the power of God all the way from heaven. So that this city, this land, this state, and the neighboring lands where we come from and the nation and the nations may experience what God says they will do. Some of you will be going back to Liberia, going to Sierra Leone, going back to Swaziland, going back to different parts of South Africa when heaven will say now I can send you.

He will be there to confirm his word. It is sending you to young people and you go to a campus and people are saying what can this one do? What can this one do? But it is not this one. It is him that is behind there to back you up.

I want to ask that as we call on God tonight yesterday night when our brother was helping us to conclude the prayer he said actually we don't need to talk it's only to go. And this night I was going to say in fact the conclusion of this prayer is just to go. For people to stand up and say now we are good.

And let me begin to hear that this man they have come here also. This man they have turned you the man that turned the world upside down they have come here also. I hope you remember that's the story.

Some were scattered and they go to Samaria they knew that they are supposed to go. They go to Antioch they began to speak. They went to Judea.

Anywhere they went. Whatever it is that sent them whether by transfer or whether by persecution whatever they just knew that it's our transport of good. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. And it might be that heaven is talking to someone and say yes your response is to rise and follow me. You follow me let me make you.

You don't postpone that. You don't postpone the time of your formation discipleship say now now I can't postpone it again. I must settle so that the things that God is speaking about concerning me my counterparts I can imagine that there are some young persons here.

What you are hearing God saying to you is so big so bogus and you are afraid. Am I not being proud? Am I not being proud? Let me tell you that's how I felt when God was speaking to me in those days when I was like you. I said how could God be saying he's going to bring people all over the world and they will come in their tongues in their tribes and they will come to this village to this place how can? In fact when I'm talking to the brethren those I was talking some just thought I was just in sin and I was sinning something that will not come to pass.

So I can identify with a young man here I can identify with a young sister here God is telling you that something is going to happen don't let anybody quench it. I believe it. You understand? If you talk to somebody and they say oh it cannot happen come and talk to me I believe it.

I'm not afraid of how bogus what God is saying to you since God told me bogus things before and I've seen it come to pass and God is telling me something more bogus I won't tell you that because some of you will be afraid but I'm going to walk into it now it's going to begin to happen and you say ah you mean this thing I just found out God is refining me showing me something more serious but the more he's speaking the more he's showing me that yes there are now other other codes that you must lose and if anybody say why are you losing that code the Lord has rid of him may the Lord rise upon your head may what he did to Gideon what he did to Moses what he did to Peter what he did to Paul what he did to Stevie what he did to Timothy may the Lord do nothing less than that in your own life may he do much more in the name of Jesus Christ amen the word of God. already proves to us that God is not a talker and that what he says he is able to do. I will call on you to rise with me.

I'm the first person to rise tonight to say lord, the things that you have said, the things I'm hearing you declare, the things you are saying you want to do. Lord, I I put my hand in your hand. Lord I believe what you did with Peter in one day.

It has never happened before. 3000 in one day. Because you are there with them.

Lord, I believe you. Lord, I take you by your word. Lord, I stand by what you are saying to me tonight.

Lord, just as you have said, let it be unto me according to your word. Thank you, Jesus. If you are standing together with me, stand and say, Lord, I've heard you speak again.

The lion has roared. Who can hold back? The Lord has spoken. Who can hold back? I want you to understand that he said, I am going with you.

That was what he told Moses. That was what brought that Exodus. That was what he told Joshua.

He said, as I was with Moses, I am with you. That was what turned the wall of Jericho down. That was what he told Gideon.

That was what brought Midianites completely until they killed themselves until they were finished. When David was going to face Goliath, that was the same issue. I come against you in the name of the Lord.

That was what finished it. Goliath in his name. Goliath with his presence.

Goliath with his own backing. Present backing. Is the peculiarity of this commission.

And the one that is going with you is the one that subdues demons. He said, he will subdue the people under us. He said, he will subdue the people under us.

Oh God. Go in, we are going. Go in, we are going because you are going with us.

Go in, we are going because we are not going alone. You are going with us. You are going to confirm your word.

You are going to confirm your word. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

Holy Spirit, thank you today. Thank you for responding to your word in our hearts. Thank you for breaking the bands of unbelief here.

Thank you that the things you say we can do for you, we shall do now. Holy Spirit, thank you. The things you said I must do now.

Lord, it shall be done. Into the mountains, into the hills, into the printing room, into the writing. Every competence shall be engaged.

Five loaves of bread will become something that will feed thousands. Lord, we go with you. We go in your name.

We go by your word, we go by your authority. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Father.

Take a decision this moment and say Lord, I'm going for you. This year will be a year of movement. There's going to be a movement.

As Noah moved, as Moses moved, and as you also move, the move of God will become so evident everywhere you go. Thank you Jesus. Lift up your voice and let God hear you saying, I am going for you Lord.

I'm going with you. Every aspect of the vineyard. You also, you also.

If someone's standing here and God say, go and gather all your classmates who are retired officers. March through the city and invite all the retired officers. Show them how to end well.

I will be with you. Go and do it. If God say, go and set up a small drama and go from school to school, I will be with you.

Go and do it. Rise up tonight and say Lord, in your name I go. And with your presence with me, I go.

Lord, Lord, honor your word here tonight. Lord tonight, please honor your word as your people respond to you tonight. Thank you Jesus.

For in your name oh Lord I go. My daily labor to pursue. What you have said to me, I will do it.

How you have dared to that case, I'm going with you. Thank you. Are you standing at the very back as a young man? Or are you sitting in the very front? And the Holy Spirit is saying, did you hear what I said to you? Go in my name, I will be there.

I only want you to give God only one word. Go in oh Lord, I go in your name. Lord, I will see what you can do with a feeble hand like me.

You don't go back to sit down, you are going to go. You are going to do that which he has told you to do. Gideon started that very night.

What he could not do in the daytime, he did it that night. By the time they woke up and said, who did it? He said, well I've done it already. I've done it already.

And God was there. Father, thank you. Thank you tonight.

In Jesus Christ's name, we are prayed. I just want to do two or three more things in this prayer. We are praying.

Look at every obstacle that you have ever feared. Be it a man, be it your father, be it anything that made you cowed inside. Look at that obstacle tonight.

Gideon confronted that altar in his father's house. He pulled it down. The spirit of boldness came upon him.

The disciples said that you might give unto us boldness to declare your word. Can you look at everything that intimidated you before this night? Challenge it. As I'm coming in the name of the Lord.

I am going in the name of the Lord and with the Lord himself. All mountains you will melt before me. Declare it.

Are you afraid that you may likely fail? Tell failure, failure. I'm not afraid of you. For with Jesus, there is no failure.

There may be persecution. They may throw water at you, but that's not a failure. That is victory.

Lord, I go. Yesterday I said you are no more going to be in the class of the Reubenites who kept contemplating and asking questions and having indecision in their hearts. This night you are saying all obstacles, all mountains, all intimidating figures, get thee out of my sight in the name of Jesus.

I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.

I'm going and I'm going higher. I am advancing into the purpose of God for my life now. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Oh, you fire extinguishers. You constitute yourself as a mountain against the people of God.

Who are you a mountain? To stand before Zerubbabel. It's not by power, it's not by might, but by my spirit, says the Lord. Oh, you mountain, get out of the way in the name of Jesus.

Say you will speak to a mountain, get because of the decision shall be so done. Those things that appear like impossible issues, charge them tonight and say, get out of my way. I'm going.

I'll see the glory of the Lord in the land of the living. Thank you, Father. In Jesus Christ's name, we are prayed.

Now, I wanted to know that because you have an assignment, your body has to cooperate. Brother Paul said, I, I, I command my body. I, I, I, I, I, I, I tell it what to do.

It can't stop me. Now, speak to your body system, your body, your body. Your body was given to you for this assignment.

You are not supposed to be nursing your body up and down. Speak to your body system and say, my body, you will serve the Lord. The reason why I have my mouth, my leg, my eyes is to carry him.

I'm not going to be living for sickness. Challenge every sickness, sickness in the name of Jesus. I will live.

I will not die. I have an assignment to carry out. My bones, you better cooperate in the name of Jesus.

Speak to your internal system, your intestine. Speak to all your respiratory system. They are not supposed to be your master.

You are not there to serve them. Jesus said, sacrifices, but a body, you are prepared for me. Go prepare this body for you to serve God.

You are not living to serve your body. Let's change the order tonight. I'm not serving my body.

I'm not living to maintain my body. I am living in this body to serve God. I want to charge every sickness.

Tell sickness, tell every disease. Tell them that you have an assignment. You are going.

Those of you that say your body cannot move, it will move from tonight in the name of Jesus. There's a reason for your body to be alright tonight. There's an assignment.

You must go. You have to go. You can't be lying down to die.

I want you to take up your bed and walk from this night in the name of Jesus. Everything that is trying to cripple you and put you to a corner, speak to it and say, I will serve the Lord. I am going to serve the Lord.

Are you physically challenged? That's not a reason for you not to go. That's not a reason why you will not contribute your own service to the Lord. Speak to your system tonight.

My body. You are a sanctuary for God. You are a carrier of the fire.

My body. My body. You are a container of this anointing for the nations.

My body. Listen to the word of the Lord. Rise up and serve the Lord, the purpose of which you are giving to me.

Oh God. Have you been standing there and they are talking about all kinds of spinal problems for you? All kinds of arthritis? All kinds of bone problems? You have a reason to live. David said, I shall live.

I shall not die. Ezekiel said, only the living can serve the Lord. The dead cannot press you.

Only the living. I must live to serve the Lord. Declare it.

And as you are doing so, the virtue of healing will be flowing from the crown of your head. It will be jumping to every system of your body. Your respiration will be restored tonight in the name of Jesus.

Your digestive system must come back to normal from this night because the Lord has need of it. I say the Lord has need of it. Thank you Lord.

Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.

Thank you for the anointing breaking the yokes here tonight. Hallelujah. In Jesus Christ's name, we are prayed.

Your body is a sanctuary. Your body is not your graveyard. So we charge you right now.

Every cell in that body respond to the word of God. Every bone respond to the word of the Lord. Every muscle I charge you now respond to the reason you were created.

From this night, every system, the blood system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the reproductive system, all the system that work in the body, I command you now, obey the reason you were created. The reason why you were given to this brother is not for you to tie him down. So right now this night, we charge you, all body, respond to the reason for why you were given here.

So every disease, every sickness, every malfunctioning, we challenge you, get out in the name of Jesus Christ. And every demonic activity, sponsored from the pit of hell, we now have a reason to leave. We have a reason to move.

We check you out now in the name of Jesus Christ. Every unfounded fear, every aggression of oppression, whether it was heredit, you took it from your father or your grandmother, if a man be in Christ a new creation, all things are passed away, behold all things are become new. This night we command every confederacy, every heredity that is contradict to the purpose of God, we nullify it now in the name of Jesus Christ.

As you go in this year, you are going in your might. You are going in the might of the Lord. Your weakness will be turned to strength in the name of Jesus Christ.

Your system will respond to the word of the Lord from here. You will become unstoppable. This fire burning you will be unstoppable.

No obstacle will stand against the fire. Fire does not beg for passage. From this night the fire of the almighty will burn inside of you.

It will make a way for you now in the name of Jesus Christ. What is the third issue? You are going to pray one more prayer as you are going. Since we now realize that the strength of our going is him going with you.

You are going to deliberately pray. Nothing shall stand between me and him. Nothing will I allow between me and the saviour.

No habit of sin, no matter how seamless they appear, if it stands between me and my Lord, I stand against it. Every friend that comes between you and the saviour, that friendship is going tonight. Open your mouth and pray right now.

Make a declaration and say, between me and the saviour, nothing between. Nothing between. Now I know that the secret of this going is the Lord being with me.

Please listen. This is the final prayer you are praying but I want you to pray with understanding. Hallelujah.

Do you know that something, the same issue when God said go and deal with the Philistines, the strength of his life was that God's presence was with him. His Nazarite consecration maintained that presence in his life until he began to break it. And when he was finally shaved and the locks of anointing on his head was cut off, the Bible said he did not know that the Lord has left him.

So something became a prey, became a useless non-entity because the Lord has left him. Brothers and sisters, the greatest treasure is the presence of God going with you. You are going to pray with me now.

I will not exchange that presence. Listen to me. I will not take presents to replace the presence.

Do you hear me? I don't want presents. What is presents? Gifts. I don't want presents to replace the presence.

I can go hungry if I have your presence. Lord, your presence. You know Moses, when God said, go, I will not go with you.

Ah, he said, how can I go? If your presence does not go with me, I cannot go because he knew that what brought Exodus was the presence. What brought the Red Sea was the presence. What brought water out of the rock was the presence.

What subdued the Amalekites was the presence. How can I go without your presence? I want you now to pray and say, God, since your presence is the crucial factor in this commission, nothing will come between me and you. I will take no presents to replace your presence.

I will not take any goods if it robs me of your presence. Your presence is all I need as I go now. Declare that and pray about it.

And anything that comes between you and the Savior, it's time to cast it out tonight. It's time to take it out. Anything that robs me of the presence of God, it's time to let it go.

Can you pray? Can you declare it? David cried for that presence. Paul cried for that presence. All the men that did something great with God, it was the presence.

Even for us, it has been the presence. And for the future that I'm hearing God declare, it will be the presence, the divine presence with me. We bring the whole matter to be.

Please pray and say, Lord, let your presence go with me. Let nothing come between me and my Savior. Nothing between my soul and the Savior.

Not of this world. Delusive dream. I have renounced all sinful pleasure.

Keep the way clear. Let nothing between. Nothing between my soul and my Savior.

So that His pleasant face may be seen. Nothing preventing the least of His favor. Keep the way clear.

Let nothing between. Are you praying? The presence. The presence is the invaluable treasure that will cause this commission to become a reality with you.

Thank you, Father. Thor, I stop here tonight. Commending you to Him who said, I'm going with you.

You will see Him confirming His word in your life as you go. He will perfect our feebleness to bring out His own glory. He will walk through your ordinariness and bring forth His supernatural manifestation in the name of Jesus Christ.
