Let us sit back and listen as the servant of God brings forth the Word of Life. Lord, we pray as we do a general preamble for this vision's retreat, we ask that your Spirit will prepare us.

You will speak deeply to our spirits, and your Word will mix with faith in our hearts. Thank you, Father. In Jesus Christ's name, we have prayed.

Amen. Amen. May the Lord bless you and prosper you in this year, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Now, for the past few days, God has been coming over and over and over again to declare his intention for our lives. And to declare that he has a greater task, something that we have not seen before, something that we have not experienced before now. He wants to launch us into it.

We will take our bearing from where the Lord began to speak to us at the Night Vigee. Because at the Night Vigee, God made some very important declarations that we need to, first of all, settle with and agree with God over. So that, from this point, we can begin now to unpack what is it that God has said, and how do we respond with God into it.

And you remember there are three passages that we were made to read, where we were to draw particular issues of what God wants to do. We read Isaiah 45, and we spent just a bit of time to look at Isaiah 45, verse 1 to 4, verse 11. Even though the entire chapter was very important and very instructive, but for the space of time we had at the Vigee, we only read and tried to speak into verse 1 to 4 and verse 11.

We also were led to look at Revelations chapter 3, and we were looking at verse 7, we got as far as verse 12. And then we went back to Isaiah chapter 60, which we did say that Isaiah 60 is like a matchy order for us, because of what God said He was going to do. All of this was to build particularly on the passage that God had brought us into when He began to say, I have a greater task for you.

For this night, just to link up with where we stopped at the Night Vigee, I will take those passages again. To open before Him the two-lid gates, and the gates shall not be shut. I will go before you, and I will make the crooked places straight.

I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and I will cut in asunder the bars of iron. And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of the sacred places, that thou mayest know that I the Lord, which called you by your name, I am the God of Israel. For Jacob, my servant's sake, and for Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name.

I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. There is no God beside me.

I gathered you, though thou hast not known me. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

I want to stop at verse 6 for this night, so that we can put it together with Revelations chapter 3. I want to now turn to the book of Revelations chapter 3. And we're going to read from verse 7. And for today, we're simply going to stop at verse 9. 7 to 9. That's what we shall be looking at. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write. This thing says he who is holy.

He who is true. He who has the key of David. He who opens, and no one shuts.

And shuts, and no one opens. I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door.

And no one can shut it. For you have a little strength. And have kept my word.

And you have not denied my name. Indeed, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie. Indeed, I will make them come and worship before your feet.

And to know that I have loved you. I'd like you to stop at that verse 9. When God began to speak about what he intends to do with our lives. When God began to announce what he is bringing us into.

There are a few things that the Lord had opened our eyes to see. That we need to establish together tonight. In order to understand what is the basis of this new direction.

This greater thing that God is offering and lifting up to us as individuals. First, I would like you to note that when God began to speak about Cyrus. It was not enough for us to have settled on what God was saying to Cyrus.

As if it is peculiar to him alone. You will notice that I noted that when this prophetic word of God was coming through Isaiah. Even Cyrus was not yet born.

When God began to speak about a man that he said he has anointed, Cyrus. When you check the time of this prophecy and the time in which Cyrus came on stage. Cyrus was not yet born as at the time.

Number 2, when God began to speak about breaking the bars of iron. And breaking the chains of brass. And saying he was going to open a two-leaf gate.

We wanted to know that God was speaking about something that has been in his heart. That he wanted to do. Now, when you study the Bible.

You will now go and find out that Cyrus only appeared in person in the book of Daniel. You will now discover that Daniel was only speaking now in the first year of King Cyrus. And this Cyrus, that was about 70 years after the children of Israel have gone to captivity.

And you will notice that Isaiah did not speak so much about captivity in his own prophecy. It was Jeremiah that God began to reveal to him. That because of the disobedience of the children of Israel.

God was going to allow them to go to captivity for 70 years. And you will notice, just for you to know that. The years in which God began to speak concerning Cyrus.

And the year in which Cyrus came on stage. There were several, almost hundreds of years, if not more. So the first thing I wanted to note.

Is that the God we are talking about. God who is speaking about his purpose to us. Is God who sees the end.

From when? From the beginning. He is a God that declares what was going to be done. Even before the vessels that were going to carry it out.

Were ever born. So if God has spoken something many years. And we are coming at a point.

To bring it to fulfillment. When God speaks. What it will take.

For God to bring it to pass. Even if that thing was not yet available. Or even if the person that God was going to use.

Was not yet born. It is no problem. With God to bring forth his promise.

Are you understanding that? God when he makes a declaration of what he wants to do. He makes that declaration. With the full.

Backing of his power. To such an extent. That everything that he will use.

To bring his will to pass. Even if they are not presently existent. Or if they are not even available in the surrounding.

All of that does not incapacitate God. From honoring and fulfilling his word. Hallelujah.

That is the first thing I wanted to know. About the God who is speaking to us. The God whom we have followed over these few years.

And who has spoken things into our lives. And the things that he had declared to us. Even when it did not look as if it can happen.

When all that would make it to happen. Seemed not to be available. He has honored his word.

And he has brought it to pass. And that he is speaking now. We have no reason to doubt him.

We have no reason to suspect him. And we have no reason to fear. Whether it will come to pass.

Or it will not come to pass. Praise the Lord. Now before we speak further into this.

Because the first thing I saw God dealing with. Is to introduce himself again to us. Is to speak about who himself is.

God was wanting to first and foremost take us into confidence. About himself. About his personality.

As if to say to a matter in our heart. About the immutability of his promise. As if to say.

I who speak to you. This is who I am. And this is why you should never have an iota or doubt in your heart.

Whether what I'm saying to you will come to pass or not. So look at the introduction that God made about himself. Before we go and look at that in Revelation.

I want you to see that introduction that God made about himself. As we went on reading. Can you please go to verse 5 of Isaiah.

Isaiah chapter 45. Verse 5. He said. I am the Lord.

And there is no one else. Did you notice that? There is no God beside me. I gathered you.

Even though you have not known me. So which means. We are dealing with a God.

That could set up his own program. His own project. Even when you are not aware.

Of what God is doing. Hallelujah. Even when it has not occurred to you.

Neither has it been revealed to you. What is the intention of God? God already could set your life. Along the line.

To bring his fulfillment. To pass. Praise the Lord.

He said. Even though you did not know me. I gathered you.

As if. Because I know what I'm going to do with your life. I already saw your end from the beginning.

I began to walk. I began to teleguide your life. I began to redirect your course.

So that you can arrive. At the time in which I want to walk in your life. That's the God we serve.

So permit me to first note with you. That with God. There is no coincidence.

As far as God is concerned. When I say there is no. There's no coincidence.

As far as God is concerned. There is also no accident. Everything that has happened to your life.

Everything that you have gone through. Including your location and relocation. They are all.

Contained. In the divine plan. And purposes of God.

In order to carry out. His own will. Even though you did not know me.

I have gathered you. Even you do not know my name. I have already penciled you down.

For what I want to do. Even though. You are ignorant of what I wanted to do with your life.

I have already walked. So can you imagine that. The mother of Cyrus.

Or the father of Cyrus. I don't know where they are. When God already saw.

That once upon a time a boy will be born. And he will be called what? Cyrus. And God was going to use him.

As one significant person. To release the people of Israel. From the house of bondage.

And I was looking. At the life of Cyrus. And I wanted to permit me to spend a little time on that.

Because of what we need to deal with. In the course of this visions retreat. Now I was looking at the lineage of Cyrus.

When I went to check. All the kings that were ruling in Babylon. All the kings that were in charge of Babylon.

When you open the book of Daniel. You will see. King Nebuchadnezzar.

You remember the king Nebuchadnezzar? And did you notice what Nebuchadnezzar was planning? He had raised up an idol. And he had said everybody must worship it. And anybody who does not must be roasted alive.

And there was a man called Daniel and three brothers. Who were standing for a divine purpose. In the prophetic purpose of God.

Daniel, Meshach, Shadrach, Abednego. They were. Oh my God, how do I put it? They were people that God prepared.

To prepare the people of God. For their restoration from captivity. You know we've been talking about.

Preparing for revival. We've been talking about. What God has been talking to us for several years.

About what he wanted to do. God spoke to us about what he wanted to do in Tivland. Many years back.

God spoke to us about the kind of manifestation. And the move of God. That he want to start in this place.

And how he's going to go far north. Go far east. Go down south.

Go everywhere. And go beyond Nigeria. And go all over the world.

People that have prophetic eyes. They kept saying. They know that something is going to break forth from Tivland.

Some old men of God. Many, many years back. Perhaps in the 60s.

They have spoken about. Something that will break forth here. But no one understood.

Who and who. God was going to use. To bring it to pass.

Are you understanding that now? Sometimes God will declare. What he wants to do. If you are sitting down to calculate.

How it is going to be. What is going to happen. And who is going to work it.

You might miss out. Because God several times speaks. Ahead of men.

So can you imagine. In the 70s. Isaiah was speaking about Cyrus.

By the time we came to the life of Jeremiah. God was speaking to Jeremiah. He said.

Before you were born. In your mother's womb. I knew you.

I knew your name. And I have ordained you. A prophet.

Unto what? Unto nations. As at the time that God was speaking to Jeremiah. Cyrus was never yet born.

And Jeremiah himself. Was a small boy. You remember what he said.

He said but I'm a youth. I'm a young man. How can you be saying I will do this.

And yet. You know what God was demanding. Demanding that Jeremiah was going to do.

It was. What he was going to do. In order.

To bring the people of God. In preparation. And if they refused.

They were going to go to captivity. And yet. All of that was in divine plan.

By the time. You go to the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel was actually one of the prophets.

That were carried along to that captivity. He was carried. He was in fact himself became a captain.

So all the prophecies of Ezekiel. Where did he get his prophecies? Where? He was getting it in captivity. And yet.

All of them. Was speaking about what God spoke about. That he was going to do.

And by the time Ezekiel was dying. They have not yet been delivered. From that captivity.

So. Let me keep noting with you that. God's prophetic word.

Transcends. The present people. Hallelujah.

And even if God has spoken. And it appears as if. There's nothing around us.

That can bring it to pass. That does not mean. That God is incapacitated.

God is not. When it is time. For his will to be done.

Are you hearing me? It will be done. Hallelujah. And so when you sit in this meeting.

And you hear God speaking to us the way he has spoken. And those of you that were here some few years back. And you heard God speak to us.

When we are sitting. In a small room. And God was speaking about what he was going to do.

And it was looking. Can it ever happen? Now if you look back and say. What God said.

See what he has done. He has brought it to pass. But God.

Is introducing himself. First for me and you. To be able to understand.

He who is speaking. And what he wanted to do. May God give you understanding.

In the name of Jesus Christ. I'm still going to come back on that scripture. Because there are a few issues there.

That I'm laying as preamble for tonight. So that while we are preparing our heart. To take our bearing.

To move into this new decade. That God is speaking about. And the things that God is going to bring to pass.

So that each one of you can settle. And put your two feet on the ground. And believe God.

That in your lifetime. God will fulfill his word. Hallelujah.

Are you with me? Now. Do you know. That.

When you look at the line up. Nebuchadnezzar. When Nebuchadnezzar finished.

And there was nothing that shows. That Nebuchadnezzar could be overthrown. But when it was his time.

He finished. Then another man took over. What is that man's name? Bethsaida.

And that one was very arrogant. Somebody like Daniel was put aside. Everything that Daniel did in the days of Nebuchadnezzar.

When Bethsaida came. He just put it aside. And so Daniel was seen to be put in a corner.

If you remember that. Daniel rose in the days of Nebuchadnezzar. Up to the.

To become the first executive vice president. In the kingdom of Babylon. And he was speaking prophetically.

And causing the will of God to be done. But do you know. By the time.

Daniel. Was put aside. In the day of Bethsaida.

It will look as if the prophecy. Will not come to pass. It will seem as if the word of God.

Had entered into a dark. A dark. A dark mood.

And that maybe God has forgotten. The prophecy. Even if there were clouds.

Clouds don't swallow. God's promise. Hallelujah.

Even if there were valleys. Valleys. Don't bury.

God's promises. Even if there were storms. No matter how violent they are.

They don't alter. The promise of God. No iota.

From what God says. Can go unfulfilled. God watches.

Every word that comes out of his mouth. To bring it to pass. And what God says concerning any of you.

Even if. Now. You don't have.

Clear understanding of. How will God work it out. Can I beg you.

Stop calculating. Your head is too small. To understand.

The ways of God. He said. Your ways are what? Are not my ways.

Your thoughts. What are they not? They are not my thoughts. As the heaven.

Is far. Away. From the earth.

So are my thoughts. Higher. Than your thoughts.

So the first thing I'm begging God to do for you. Rather than worry about thinking. About calculating.

About analyzing. And about struggling. There's only one thing I want you to do.

What is that one thing? To believe. There's only one thing that is required from any of you sitting before me today. To do what? To believe God.

Blessed is she. That believes. For there shall be a performance.

Of what the Lord. Has spoken. To her.

That's how to walk with God. That's how to move into the things that God. Is speaking to you about.

Praise the Lord. Now do you know. I don't know how many years.

But just a stage. But one night. It became so arrogant.

That he ordered. For all. The utensils.

That they captured and carried away from the temple in Jerusalem. The temple of Solomon. When Solomon himself began to misbehave.

And God told him. I said this house. It will become a byword.

Everything here. They will take it away. And this place will become nothing.

Because you have turned away from following me. And your people will go to captivity. Nobody thought it could happen.

But now this man. Was sitting. Right there.

And he said today you want to drink. With those holy and hallowed vessels. He sat in the midst of his girlfriends.

And concubines. And they were. And as they ordered.

To bring the utensils. That was dedicated in the temple of Solomon. For him to drink.

A hand appeared. So what am I trying to prove to you that. When God decides to do something.

It doesn't matter. Whether you know who he will use. Or who he will not use.

That's not your problem. Can you imagine that right there in Babylon. There were nobody.

Daniel that was the one that was preaching. And shouting. And preaching righteousness.

They are putting him in a corner. Everything looks as if. There's no way we can see God moving here.

But on that day. When that man tampered with the purpose of God. A hand appeared.

And he alone was seeing the hand. Nobody else saw it. A hand was writing.

And he could not understand. He said somebody is writing a letter to me here. People said what is it.

He said can't you see it. So they brought all the magicians. All the astrologers.

All the people that were trained to read signs. And to understand interpret difficult things. They all came.

They all stood there. And. They all said to no avail.

Because God was at work. Hallelujah. When nobody could do anything.

One woman. Said. Oh king can I tell you something.

Say yes. Say there's a man in your kingdom. The spirit of the gods are within.

In the days of your father Nebuchadnezzar. When your father was misbehaving. It was this man.

That interpreted the difficult dream that your father had. The thing that made your father to become an animal for seven years. It was the man that spoke about it.

And whatever he said. Normally comes to pass. You have abandoned him but he's there.

If you want an answer to this problem. Send for him. When God wants to do his work.

You can't stop him. Even if you see anybody seemingly standing to hinder God's work. It's not a problem.

Tell somebody by your side. No man is an obstacle to God's work. No man.

No. If God is not ready to work. The man can be doing something.

But when it is time for God to arise. Hallelujah. Who can stop him? God said I will work.

Who can hinder it? That same night. They had to send. A very very high delegation from the palace.

Very high delegation. They must have sent some escorts. They all went.

They are blowing their siren. We are looking for this man Daniel. Where does he stay? They say he's there.

So when they go there they say oh Daniel. There's an urgent need for you to come to the palace. Say palace for what? Say the king is in trouble.

And we are told that you're the only one that has the key. If you don't come. Nothing will happen here.

All the astrologers. Everybody are tried. In fact the king said he was going to kill them.

They cannot tell him the meaning of what he saw. So Daniel said wow. All right.

I'll come along. And I was looking at a man of God. You need to.

You need to be a man of God. Yes. You have to.

I pray that you be a man of God. Not those who are going up and down around the corridors of the government. To collect contracts.

You need to be a man that God works with. So that the purpose of God. That God is preparing you for.

You will fulfill it in your lifetime. Hallelujah. Daniel went there.

And when he came there. The man said all kind of things to him. He said I've heard about you.

And this that. I will make you great. I will make you this.

I will give you that. Daniel said look. Keep all those things to yourself.

Give it to anybody you like. I will tell you. The meaning of what you have read.

And I do that not for a fee. I don't need your money. I don't need your promotion.

But I need to tell you. That today. Your life has been put on the balance.

And you have been measured. And after the measurement you have been found wanting. And your case has already been decided.

In the high court of the heavenlies. Where there is no appeal. Your matter is finished.

Actually tonight as I finish talking to you now. You are finished. Your kingdom will be taken away from you.

And is going to be given to someone that looks inferior. I know you are a man of brass and iron. But God is going to break everything about your dynasty tonight.

And when the man of God finish. The message that God put in his mouth. And he just says thank you.

And he walked away. And as he was walking away. The calamity struck.

The man did not survive that night. Suddenly he just had a stroke. And his neck broke.

And from where he was sitting. He became his burial ground. They moved him out from that point that night.

That was the end. That was the end of that dynasty. If God decides to walk.

So as regards the promises that God has made. Because it is God. It is not a man.

That is trying and struggling to do something. It is God. When it is God.

God is God. Did you hear God say? I am God. There is none else.

I am God. I have no rival. I am God.

I don't know anyone who can speak when I have spoken. I am God. When I open a door.

I don't know who can shut it. I am the Lord. What I say to you.

I will bring it to pass. And I will bring it to pass. By myself.

I form the light. And I create darkness. I make peace.

And I create evil. I the Lord. I do all these things.

So there is nothing that happens anywhere. Even those who are sitting. You know in the seat of wickedness.

Even if they are doing their mouth like this. As if they are calling an incantation. There is nothing there.

Are you hearing me? Even when they speak. I see oh we are going to do something. We are going to do something.

There is nothing there. There is nothing there. When God stands like this.

The man that is boasting now. He will just quench. When God has spoken.

There is nobody to fear. When God has made a declaration. There is no other declaration that holds water.

When God has stood up to declare what he wants to do. My brother. The highest thing.

And the only thing I thought you should learn to do. Is to do what? Is to believe. Just to believe God.

And submit to him. Praise the Lord. Now.

Still looking at what God said. About himself. Because I feel that.

The knowledge of him who speaks. Is a very very critical prerequisite. In knowing how to walk with God.

And how to move into the things that God is speaking about. I perceive that when you know him. Who has spoken.

You will be able to move. Carefully. Into the things that God is speaking.

And walk with him. Now. God was speaking.

And I wanted to see. What he said. About himself.

In verse 15. Say verily thou art a God. That does what? That hides.

Thyself. Oh God of Israel. The Savior.

They shall be ashamed. And also confounded all of them. They shall go to confusion together.

That they are makers of idols. But Israel shall be saved in the Lord. With an everlasting salvation.

You shall not be ashamed. Not confounded. World.

Without when. End. As if to say.

When a man has come to know this God. Who is the Savior. All those who followed any other thing.

They will come to an end. They will be put to shame. They will be silenced.

But when it is God. Who has spoken. You can vouch for him.

And permit me to ask you to read. From verse 18. And verse 19.

It might be okay. He said. For thus says the Lord.

That created the heavens. God himself. That formed the earth.

And made it. He has established it. He created it.

Not in vain. He formed it. To be inhabited.

I am the Lord. And there is none else. Did you notice that.

Over this chapter. We have met that phrase. Several times.

Have you seen that now? Have you seen God repeatedly say. I am the Lord. There is none else.

But what has affected. And attracted me. Is in verse 19.

He said. I have not spoken in secret. In a dark place.

Of the earth. I said not unto the seed of Jacob. Seeking me in vain.

I the Lord speak righteousness. I declare things. That are what? That are right.

So with that passage. Which I am going to leave now. So that I can take the other passage.

And bind them together. So that you will take. A step of faith.

Now he said. I am the Lord. I have not spoken in the secret place.

You know when you are a coward. You say something. And anybody say.

Who said it? What does God say? No. I did not say that. But that is not what I wanted to say.

You misquoted me. You misquoted me. How can I say that? What did God say here? He said.

I have not spoken. How? In secret. Everything I am saying to you.

I am standing by it. Everything I am declaring to you. I am declaring it.

With all authority. And quote it anywhere. I have not spoken.

To the children of Jacob. I have not asked them to seek me in vain. God.

God is not a politician. Is that alright? What did I say? God is not a politician. He does not speak so that you can vote for him.

He does not exaggerate what he is not ready to do. Does not make empty promises. Just for you to be dazed.

And after he has voted for him. He disappears. That is not the God we talk about.

Every word that comes out of the mouth of our God. The Bible said. Heaven and earth may pass away.

Not a jot of what God says. Will go unfulfilled. Every word that God declares.

God. Is going to back it up. And in fact the way God backs up his word.

He said. Rather than for a jot. Or a small.

Titu of my word to go unfulfilled. I prefer. That the heavens.

Will have cleared. And the earth will have passed. God.

Cannot swallow his word. Hallelujah. So what God says to me.

He can swallow it. God cannot come back and say. Oh my son I am very sorry.

I made a mistake. When I declared to you that I would do that thing. I tried.

But my power can no longer. Cover it. And so I am sorry.

Please. Please do not be annoyed. Can God do that? The reason is that.

Ever before God opens his mouth to say anything. He has already calculated what it will cost him. Am I communicating with you? And even though I say he has calculated what it will cost him.

That is just to give you a human sense. What will it cost God? To bring forth his word to pass. You think God will be looking up and say.

What will I use now to do this? No no no he said. He speaks what was not as though there were. So if God makes a declaration now.

Even if nothing is there to make it to happen. God will call it forth. As if it had been there.

Hallelujah. So. The God who is speaking to us.

Is a God that is totally. Reliable. Completely faithful.

And he is in charge. He never loses his power. So if you follow me to that point.

Can I ask you. To now check what God was saying. In revelation.

That we are putting together here. Before we pray together tonight. Revelations and chapter three.

Are you there with me? Verse seven. These things. These things.

Says he. Who is what? Eh? Who is holy is not dubious. What did I say? Our father is what? Is holy.

Is not dubious. Is not double tongued. God who is speaking.

Is holy. When they say God is holy. I don't know how to describe the holiness of God.

In a short meeting like this. But that. With God.

With God. There is no high altar of life with him. There is no.

No little. No little dot. Of shadow.

Of thorny. With God. There is not a contradiction.

Of. Of. Insincerity with God.

God does not talk with porous mouth. When God speaks. He means what he says.

Hallelujah. And he says what he means. Did you hear what I said? What did I say? God means.

What he says. And he says. What he means.

Every word that God has spoken. There are no two ways. To understand it.

Apart from the way God has said it. When I hear some people. Saying hey.

Even though you read it in the Bible like that. It is not like that. I say how is it? How is it? Will God have meant to say something else.

And he will be saying something else. You know you tell a lie. When you are afraid that somebody will punish you.

Why did you do this? Because you are afraid that they will punish you. You say. Let me ask you.

Why will God tell a lie to you? Please tell me. Why will God tell a lie to you? Let's talk now. Let's talk now.

Can God tell a lie to you? For what? For what reason? If you came and said God. And he said I will not give you. Can you charge him? Eh brother? Abba.

If you say oh God. Do this. Do this.

I will not do it. Where can you go? To whom can you report God? So. So why will he ever tell a lie? And I want to ask you.

Why will God ever tell a lie? Is it so that you can believe him? Is it so that you can gather to him? For what? If God does not want to do something. Who forces him to say it? If God kept quiet and he does not talk to us. Can we charge him? So can I tell you.

Every word that God speaks. He meant it. And he says what he means.

And he means whatever he says. God does not have double standard of doing anything. And I want to inform you.

What God said one thousand years ago. Does not change. So when we say the God of yesterday is different.

That's, that's, that's, that's, that's blackmail. Say I am God. I do what? I change not.

Yesterday, today. And forever. Every word that he has spoken.

They are eternal words. God's promises, they are eternal. So when God speaks a word to you.

When God speaks a word to me. He has already known. All that it will take.

All that it will cost him. All that will be required. To bring his word to pass.

And because every word that God speaks. He himself never forgets. He is not like you.

You know you like this. You open your mouth, you make some certain promises. And at the time you forgot.

As it happened to you before. Say I forgot, I even forgot that I told you to come. God never loses memory.

I pray that you will know this God I am talking about. Even the ant. Even an ant that is tiny.

God has never forgotten that there is an ant somewhere. Jesus said, not a single strand of your hair. Falls to the ground.

Without the notice of your father. I don't know how to describe. How meticulous the knowledge.

And the capacity of God to remember things are. That I'm combing my hair here. I'm combing my hair.

And one of it fell down. And it registers in heaven. And God said, oh, okay.

You were just combing it. That's why it fell. If anybody were to now deliberately come to pluck my hair.

Do you know how much the angels in heaven will stand up and say, why are you doing that? Why are you doing that to brother Aguile? Why are you doing that to him? What do you think you are doing? I don't even need to talk. When God will have sent signals from the heavenlies. As if somebody is misbehaving around my servant there.

Go and deal with it. He never forgets. Can I tell you, he never forgets.

Tell somebody, he never forgets. And he will never forget you. One of the things that said to me several years ago.

When God said, I never forget where I have deposited my anointing. In those days. When it looked as if we are so much in obscurity that nobody will remember where you are.

When it looks as if you are just lost in this bush and nobody will know where you are. And people were calling me up and down. And they said, brother Aguile, what are you doing there? You will be forgotten in that place.

We write letter to you, you don't get it. No communication, nothing. No post office.

Why are you in that kind of place? But only for me to need and say, God, are you forgetting me there? He said, who told you like that? I never forget where I have deposited my anointing. Do you think God has forgotten me for once? Never. He knows my address.

Hallelujah. You know, I used, I was a fanatic. I wanted to prove God to the letter.

I wanted to test whether what God was telling me is true or not, that he never forgets. I will, I will go places. I will deliberately not give my address to anybody.

I was saying to myself, if it is God, he will describe to you where I am. You say, ah, are you not taking that to a distance? I read in the Bible. Look at brother, brother Peter.

He was, he was lodging in the house of one man called Simon the Tanner. Do you remember? And then, Colinus. Colinus was an army officer.

He was a centurion. He was fasting and praying. God sent an angel to go and talk to Colinus.

And the angel said to Colinus, your prayers and your arms have come to heaven. But the way forward is that you will send to a man called Peter. Are you hearing me now? You will send to a man called Peter.

And behold, he is staying with one man called Simon the Tanner. He is in Joppa. When you get to that house, that's where he is.

Who gave the address to Colinus? How did they know? Can you imagine that when God encountered Saul on the road to Damascus? Huh? When God was going to get Ananias. Ananias was in his own house. And God went and tapped Ananias.

Ananias, rise! Go to so and so street. How many of you know that God knows that I'm in Akajime? Abba! He said go to such and such and such streets. When you get there, go to this house number so and so.

When you get there, ask for Saul. Behold, he is praying. When you get there, you will meet him praying.

What kind of meticulous God is that? God who knows such a detail that he could tell you that at this particular time, he is praying. Are you understanding that now? God, he knows your address. He never forgets.

Will I tell you that God, nothing passes his eyes. So the eyes of the Lord range to and fro the whole earth. To show himself mighty on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards him.

He can never forget me. There's somebody by your side, he never forgets. And he can never forget you.

Never. That is him. He said this thing says he who is holy.

He who is true. Hallelujah! God is what? Is true. How can I explain that to you tonight? That God is what? Is true.

God is not a facade. God is not a fiction. God is not an imagination.

God is not an idea. God is not a philosophy. God is true.

The God we serve, what did I say about him? He is true. God is true. God is what? Is true.

God is true. God is what? Is true. God is true.

God is true. God is not a liar. But not just that he's not a liar, God is not a lie.

Did you understand what I'm talking about now? He is not a lie. God is not a mere form. God is not a picture that somebody has arranged.

God is true. He's real. When we say God is true, what do I mean by that? I meant that.

God. There's no simpler word to talk about being true. Or do you know any other word that can help me to help you understand when we say he's true? God is true.

God is authentic. That's a bigger word. That's another bigger word.

You need to go to school to understand the meaning of authentic. The simplest word is that God is what? You know there are many men that are not true. One big politician some years ago, I think in the 80s, in this land.

He went somewhere. In those days. Then he went and spoke.

I think he went to the east. And he spoke so much. That he gave the people a very bogus promise that once you just come.

Just come to Benue. And go to Boko. Ask for him.

They will bring you to his house. And all your problems will be solved. Straight away.

Right? So this particular guy left Imo State. And was coming to Boko. But thank God that she was wise to take an alternative address.

She took my address, 60 Inka Road. Somebody said, when you get to Boko, if you don't meet the man. They say, brother.

But I believe he used to come to pray to us. Just checking. When this girl has roamed around the whole street of Boko.

And she's now tired and confused. Not knowing where to go. She remembered my address.

And now came to 60 Inka Road that time. And said, sir. I said, yes, where are you from? He said, I'm from Imo State.

One man came and spoke to us. And that whenever I have a problem, I should just come. And that he's in charge of everything here.

And that once we mention his name, everything will be alright. And that that's why she left. I said, did you contact him that you are coming? He said, the man said, you don't need to contact me.

Once you get there, I'm always there. Hey! I look at this girl. I said, you left all the way to come.

And you did not have any. He said, the man promised that if any problem she has, it will be resolved. But now she's stranded.

She didn't know where to go. She's been asking around. He said, the man is not around.

Nobody can see him. So that's why he came to my office. And since one of the sisters told her that I am here.

So I said, okay. Alright. She came into the office.

When we finished talking, I took her to the house. She ate. She has not eaten for several hours.

She ate. Gave her where to rest and sleep. So in the following morning, I said, Tom.

The man you are talking about, I'm not sure he's as important as you are thinking. Or you still want to go try? He said, yes. They said if they did not see him in Boko, they should go to his house in Kastanala.

I said, alright. I have been to that Kastanala. That's where I have been living before.

And I know that you'll go there. Okay. She said, later I'll just go.

She has traveled so far. She must get to the end of this matter. She went.

I said, in case you did not get what you are looking for, you can come back here. So when she came back, oh, she was so overwhelmingly discouraged. She said, these people, they are liars.

I said, eh. There's nothing there. I went everywhere.

He was not there to help anybody. He's a liar. He's a liar.

The man is a liar. I said, yes. All men are like that.

And I said, thank God you didn't meet him. He would have finished you. And sent you away empty handed.

Go back to your parents. And go and settle down. Many men, they are not just liars.

What did I say they are? They are lies. They are lies. There's nothing real about them.

Everything about them is a camouflage. They may appear big. When you go near them, they are perforated.

They may wear a big smile on their face. But inside them, that is a gall. That's a gall.

Very, very bitter. They may be speaking as if the whole thing is in their pocket. Nothing is there.

They are lies. But if ordinary human beings are lies, what pains me is that there are even preachers who themselves, they are not just liars, but they are what? They are a lie. They are just a lie.

If you go near them, you just discover you have gone to nothing. When they are speaking like this, those who know them, they are wise, isn't it? Because they know, they know that this man is a lie. Not just that he's telling lies.

Himself, what did I call him? He's a lie. There's no reality with him. But he who speaks to you, what did the Bible say? He who is true.

I want to tell you that God is true. What God says about himself is who he is. Whatever God declares about himself, that is exactly who he is.

He never says anything to exaggerate. God can never exaggerate. Why will he exaggerate? For what? He's God who fills the whole heavens and fills the whole earth.

What does he need to exaggerate about himself? He is God. He who speaks to me is true. Can I inform you that God is true? Eh? Do you think it's tautology when I say it again and again and again that God is what? He's true.

From my little journey with him, he's true. What he said to me, he will do. He has done it.

He has fulfilled it. What he promised to me when I was younger, he has fulfilled it. He's true.

He's true. Please help me thank God. God, you are true.

You are true. God is true. He's true.

He's true. Even if I stop here and you just jump up with me and say, thank you Father that you are true. God is true.

And that's why I can boldly tell you that he can never deceive anybody. Praise the Lord. God can never deceive you.

Men may deceive you. Husbands may deceive wives. Wives could deceive their husband for many years and the man does not know.

But that's not God. God is true. Everything he is, is true.

Everything he says is true. And everything God does is true. God does not do anything that is not true.

I don't know. Have I communicated that to you very well? Did you get what I said? That anything God does is what? Is true. Is true.

That's the truth. That's the reality. God cannot do anything that is not true.

He's true. Whatever God gives you, hallelujah, is true. Are you getting me? If God gives you a blessing, it's a true blessing.

It's true. If God decided to promote you, what kind of promotion is that? That's a true promotion. And if God decided that he actually want to correct you, and that correction may look like punishment, what is that? That is true.

That's a true dealing. God is true. Everything he does is true.

So, can I beg some of you young people? Can I beg you? Do not hesitate to give your life to him. Why? It's true. He can never let you down.

He can never disappoint you. The man of the world may let you down, but he never fails. Praise the Lord.

All other men may say bogus things, that after, when you discover it, you say, ah, so this one is a lie. God can never be. I think that's why they said, God cannot lie.

Is there a verse like that? Say God cannot do what? Lie. It is impossible for God to lie. It is impossible.

Every promise that God is giving to me and you, it is impossible for it not to be true. Every word that God has spoken, what did I say? It's true. He who is true, he is not just that he's holy, but he is true.

Hallelujah. Now, he who has the key, did you hear me? He has the key. The key of David.

He has the master key. And since I will not have time to be talking about God, who has the key? God has the key. There is no door that anybody has shut against you, that when God wants to move you in, he will be looking about.

He has what? The key. You know, let me tell you what happens. When, sometime, sometime, in my office, whatever keys any of the brothers who are working with me has, I have a bunch, are you hearing me? that contains the key to every of the offices.

Are you hearing me? So, when I am coming, they say, brother, Tesunko is not around. Because he goes somewhere, we don't know where he is. So, everybody is waiting.

Either they are waiting at the lobby, they are standing outside, they say, he's not around. He has the key, not around. I say, sir, but he's not around.

He's not around, because and he did not give us the key. I say, oh, he's not around, no problem, no problem. And I go there.

And I just bring out my bunch of keys. Are you understanding now? What do I do? I enter where others have been waiting not to be able to enter. Because somebody who has the key is not around.

But the man, the baba we are talking about, he does what? He has the key. You know, in my own little corner, because I have the key, can you lock me out? When you have the key, who can lock you out? When you have the key, do you need to line up behind somebody? When you have the key, do you beg for passage? When you have the key, can anybody mess you up? The baba who is speaking to me tonight, he is the one who does what? Who has the key, the key of David. The key of the kingdom.

The key to divine resources. The key to the secret places. The key to everything that you needed to become anything.

When you have the key, he has the key. Well, it's okay. Thank you, Jesus.

That the God that I serve, he has the key. I don't know how to tell you that. Sometimes I feel like dancing.

That I'm serving him who cannot be locked out. Are you hearing me? If people are following me, and we came to the door, and I say, who has the key, who has the key, who has the key? And I say, don't worry, I have the key. What happens to everybody who is behind me? They just relax.

They say, baba has the key. And when I bring out the key, and I open, I say, move in, move in, move in, move in. Move in.

And if I want to lock the door again, what do I do? I just lock it and put the key in my pocket, and go away. He who is speaking to me is the one that does what? That has the key. Brother, he has the key.

That's why you will not be stranded. Tell someone, I won't be stranded. Because he has the key.

He has the key. Nobody can shut me out. Because he has the key.

He has the key. And he said, he who has the key, the key of David, he who opens and no one shuts. And when he shuts, no one opens it.

That's the God that is speaking to us. And he said, I have set before you an open door. Because this is the extent to which we will go tonight.

The other year when we were doing visions retreat, I felt compared again. I feel that you can't walk with God, if you don't know him. You can't enter into his promises, if you are ignorant of who he is.

What we are saying about God, we keep sounding as if these people are just making mouth. They are just making mouth. Don't let me hear you saying that I'm just making mouth.

Are you hearing me? Do you think I'm making mouth? No. We are not just making mouth. The one who has spoken to us is true.

And what he says to us is true. It cannot fail. And if you are saying, but how can he do it? How can he do it? He has the key.

Hallelujah. You are saying, but which way will he take? Which way will he take? How can you say that? You know one way, but he has one thousand ways. It was Moses when he was beginning to lose out.

God said, since these people have cried that they want to eat meat today, and God stood up and said, Moses, go and tell them that they will eat meat. They will eat meat not only for once, they will eat meat morning and evening and not for five days. How many days will they eat meat? They are going to eat meat for the next one month continuously until meat will be what? Be coming out of their nose.

When you sneeze like this, it's meat that will be coming out. When you go to the toilet, the only thing that you will be pushing out is raw meat. When you belch, what will come out is meat.

If your eyes are scratching you, be very careful. Meat will come out. Ah! And Moses said, the people that I am with, he began to count and said, say, God, the people that I am with, without counting children, without counting women, without counting young people, we are counting about strong men that are able to go to work, there are about 600,000.

We are not counting all the women and we are not counting all their children. And one could have eight children. Some will have five children, some will have six children.

And some have not only married one wife, they married two, three wives. Sir, where will you get meat for all these people? Do you remember that was the question that Moses was asking? If we were to command all the windows of heaven to come down, can we get enough for them to eat for one day? But you are telling me that they will eat for one month, solid month, and I will come in their nostrils? Baba, are you sure what you are talking about? Did you hear what God answered him? God said, Moses, as the hand of God becomes sharp, as the hand of God? When did you hear that my hand has become amputated? Why are you talking like that? Moses, you will see. When God said you will see, he just did his hand like that.

And just like that, he commanded quills, quills, quills. Quills. I don't know where quills are.

Quills. As if the wind just blew. And quills were just dropping.

These are bears that should be flying. That even if you were to catch one, you will run up and down. But now, what has God done now? He has, all of them are just falling down.

Be, be, be, be, be, be, be. And as they are falling down, until you, they were not in a lair. You will need a shovel.

To be cutting them. That's how the children of Israel, since they wanted to eat meat. Aye! Number one, there's nowhere to go.

As they are walking like this, quill will fall on their head. Say, you need, you need to eat meat, isn't it? I'm here. Where they want to go to toilet, they have to use their hand like this to move quills, quills.

Say, no, no, no, you say you need to eat. We are here for you. Eat us.

They ate and ate and ate and ate until it started coming out of their nostrils, coming out of their buttocks, come everywhere until they cried. Say, God, we don't want meat again. They say, no, no, no, no.

I have decided to make a feast of meat for you for one month. One month. You must eat meat for one month.

They were begging God, is it enough? He say, no, no, no, one month. Minimum one month. What are you talking about God, brother? Say, I am the God that is known as.

I am the God Almighty. Is anything too hard for me? Sister, what is it that you are talking and contemplating in your heart as if God has amputated his hand? What is that matter that you, you, quietly you are saying, can it be possible? Don't say that again. Don't say that again.

What did I say? You should not say again. Never you say, can God do that? If you don't know what to say, just keep your mouth shut. And if you must say something, only one thing you should say, God, I fear you and I believe you.

That's all you need to say. If you don't know what to say, keep your mouth shut. And if you are having problem of believing what I am talking to you about tonight, are you hearing me? Just close your mouth and run from this meeting.

Because God will do what he says. Can I conclude by reminding you the God we are talking about? There has been famine in the land for many, for a long time. To the point that people were selling their children and they were roasting their babies to eat.

It became so terrible. And it was so hard that the king was passing. One woman cried to him and said, sir, come and help me with this woman.

We ate my own child yesterday. We are to eat our own. And she is refusing.

We agreed together but she is refusing that we should kill our own. And the king said, what? And he was rushing to go and meet Elisha. And Elisha was sitting and you know, he said, Kai, this boy is coming now.

And his intention is not good. Stop him, stop him, stop him before he arrives. He said, no, that's not the issue.

The issue is that people are hungry. Can God not do something? And Elisha opened his mouth just like that. And said, by this time tomorrow.

Now, this is what looked impossible. What is tomorrow? If I'm sitting and I say, by this time tomorrow, what are we talking about? Elisha meets in 24 hours. 24 hours.

He said, in 24 hours, this condition will change. Ginnikon will be sold for this much. That's what will happen for this much.

In 24 hours? When will it happen? One of these neighbor men, one of these neighbor unbelievers was standing there. He said, Baba, what are you talking about? Even if the whole heaven became windows, and it were to be raining down Ginnikon, can that thing happen in 24 hours? And Elisha heard it. He said, ah, I told you that God said.

You are saying, can it happen? He said, okay, okay. By this time tomorrow, it will have happened. You will see it, but your mouth will not taste it.

And everybody left. How was God going to make that to happen? I told you, stop calculating. The things that God said to me, don't calculate for me, it will come to pass.

God knows how to press his own body. He has the key. When I say, God has what? The keys.

God is not a man that should lie. So that night, everybody went home to sleep. Elisha said, Father, I've spoken, I know you can make it done.

God said, that's none of your business. Did you say by this time tomorrow, it will be happening? And in the middle of the night, at the twilight, according to scripture, four lepers, four lepers, they sat in their own small camp, and they were talking to themselves. Why sit here till we die? And that moment, they just stood up.

Let's go to the camp of the Syrians. Let's fall into their camp, whether we die or not. They didn't know that God was about to perform his own miracle, because he has the key.

I don't know how four lepers, how they were moving. If you know lepers, lepers are those that the toe of their feet are already chopped. The fingers of their hand is already finished.

Even if a leper was to clap hands, you can't hear. If you want to try the clapping of a leper, fold your hand like this, and fold the other one, and try to do like this, and see whether it will make any noise. How did four lepers, how were they moving? That the Bible said, in the camp of the Syrians, these are people with mighty weapons, they heard the noise of a horse.

They said the horse of Israel is coming. I don't know what they were hearing. They were hearing trumpets, they were hearing noises, they were all kind of things.

Almighty God, he can terrify your enemy, and they will run, run, run. I see somebody is chasing them. He has the key.

Before you know it, the people started running, because pandemonium caught up with them, and they were saying, hey, if we stay here, we are going to be finished. If we stay here, that's how they ran in haste. You don't know what I'm talking to you.

Some were cooking yam. Some were roasting akara. Some were cooking their meat.

Everything was on fire. Are you understanding? When they heard that, you don't understand, when they heard that the horse, the army have come, and that they are killing people now, what happened to the woman? They just said, let me finish my aku before I go. She left it.

The thing was boiling. The soup was boiling. Everything was left.

Those that wanted to eat bread and tea, I just pray you can understand what I'm talking about. They just finished pandemonium and calling their husband to come and eat. When the woman said, food? Can I stay here until I die? They moved.

They said, you better run after me. Ah, you mean we are going? Yes. What about food? Leave everything, leave everything, let's go.

That's how they left everything. When the brothers, the lepers got there, they were wondering which one would they eat now. Here is roasted chicken.

This is pork meat. This is bush meat. This is yam tofu that is just smelling good.

Now this one is special. Before you know it, they ate and ate and ate. They ate again.

You know if you have not eaten for months, the first food you will see, they ate and ate. Then one of them said, we are not doing well. There is food here and we are keeping quiet.

Let's go back. They ran to the city and said, God has released food now. Before you know it, the whole city of Israel ran.

After eating, they carried and carried and carried such that when they started selling, the price of guinea corn became so cheap. Oil was sold for nothing. The man that spoke yesterday that can eat apple, he forgot what he said.

He also wanted to go. As he was rushing, I don't know, he must have fell in between his legs, so he fell down. Nobody wanted to kill him.

He just had a prophecy to be fulfilled. Before anybody could come near him, they stampeded him and his entrails gushed out. They said, the man that spoke yesterday is dead.

That's what they said. He has the key. He has the key to where resources are.

He has the key to where your needs could be met. He has the key to do what he says he will do. I thought I should start this vision retreat by again speaking about the God who is speaking to us.

The God who is making a promise. The God who is making declaration. The God who spoke in years past and we have seen it come to pass and he has come to speak again.

That God said, I am he who is holy. I am he who is true. I am he who has the key.

I am he when I shut a door, no man opens it. When I open a door, no man can shut it. I have decided to set a door before you.

Hallelujah. It is what God says he will do that is the basis of the vision that God has given us now. One thing I want you to do tonight, no matter how you can do it, whether you stand up, whether you kneel down, or whether you sit down, I want you to pray.

I want you to say to God, Lord, thank you that you are true. Thank you that you are holy. Thank you that you have the key.

Thank you that you are the God. Thank you that there is no one like you. Thank you that what you say is what you mean and what you mean is what you say.

Thank you that when you start to do a thing, you never forget. Thank you that the word that comes out of your mouth can never return to you void. Thank you that you are reliable.

Thank you that you are trustworthy. Thank you that the authority of your word transcends the entire earth. Thank you that whatever you say, you are able to carry out.

Anyhow you want to talk to God tonight, I want you to do it. Whether you are standing up and you say, Lord, I thank you that you are true. I thank you that you are real.

I thank you that you are holy. I thank you that you are not fake. I thank you that you are reliable.

I thank you that I can vouch my life upon your word. I will take you by what you say. Please join me as we thank God together tonight.

I am serving a God of miracle. I know. Yes, I know.

I am serving a God of miracle. I know. Yes, I know.

Yes, I know. I am serving a God of miracle. I know.

Yes, I know. I know. I am serving a God of miracle.

Yes, I know. Yes, I know. One more time.

I am serving a God of miracle. I know. I am serving a God the unlimited God.

I know. Yes, I know. Just speak to God.

He is unlimited. He is unlimited. There is no end to His government.

His hand cannot be cut short. There is nowhere His hand cannot reach. If what He needs to use to do what He promised me, even if it is in Far East, just a hand, we drag it here.

He has the key. All I want to do tonight is just to thank Him. Just open your heart and say, Lord, I want to know you more.

I want to know the God who is speaking to me. The God who has made a promise. The God who has committed Himself.

The God who has said, I am with you. I am with you. That same God tonight, I want to know Him.

I want to walk more with you. Thank you tonight. Lord, tonight we thank you.

I don't know how you want to talk to God, but He is true. Can you tell your heart, how can you doubt Him? He is true. How can you be afraid that He will take care of you? God is true.

How can you be thinking that your future is not certain in His hand when He sees the end from the beginning and He is true? How can you be jittery that what He says will not happen? How can you do that? He is true. He is holy. He said, I never ask any man to seek me in vain.

God cannot cajole you. What He says concerning you, not only that He is able to do it, He is ready to do it. He will never allow everyone to rest until His word concerning you, towards you, has come to pass.

Lord, we thank you. Are you praying with me tonight to say, Lord, thank you. Thank you that you are speaking again.

Thank you that at the beginning of this decade, we are speaking again. You spoke several years back, and we are living witnesses that what you said, you watched over your word, you brought it to pass. It looked like a very, very obscure promise to us then, but we have seen you bring it to pass.

We have seen that you are true. God is true. Wherever you are listening to this message, let it be known to you that God is true.

God cannot cajole you. God cannot make a fake promise to you. Who are you that God will be cajoling you? For what? Can you confess and say, Lord, I also confess you are true.

You are true. You are not fake. You are real.

You are reliable. You are dependable. You are trustworthy.

If I cast my life upon what you say, it's not a risk. Lord, you are not a risk. You are a sure banker.

Your word is a surety. Because there is nothing else greater that you could swear by. You are sworn by yourself saying, I am God.

There is none beside me. What I say is what I will do for you. Lord will believe you.

Now, can I ask tonight, whether you would like to agree with me to say, Lord, all that you have said concerning me, I have no doubt it will come to pass. All your instruction concerning me, I refuse to doubt I will see it come to pass. Just help me to understand what you are saying.

As regards whether it will come to pass or not, there is no problem about it. I believe you. Let it be to me as you have said it.

Would you like to pray that prayer? Before I release you to his hand. Lord, I believe you. Lord, I believe you.

I know what you have said will come to pass. I have no doubt again in my heart that when you say I am setting before you an open door, it is true. When you say you are setting before us a two-leaf gate, it is true.

When you say you are going to break the bars of bronze, it is true. And at the gate of iron, you are going to scatter them, it is true. It is what you have done before, it is what you can do, and it is what you will do.

Thank you, Father. Lord, I stand as your servant on behalf of my brothers and sisters, and I only say thank you. We know what you are saying will come to pass.

We know what you are saying, nothing will change it. We may not know how, the methodology, the means, but that is not our business. You know where you have kept your things, and you have the key.

Thank you that you have the key. Lord, as we go tonight, to come back, to now begin to seek, to understand what you are saying you will do with us. Lord, I pray that you will continue to breathe upon our hearts.

Breathe upon us by yourself tonight. Breathe upon us by your own self. I have spoken very briefly, interrupted here and there, but that does not interrupt you.

Tonight, you will reveal yourself to your children. One by one, they will hear you. Echo to them that I am the one who is holy, I am the one who is true, I am the one who has the key.

When I open, no man can shut. When I shut, no one can open it. I am the one.

I know your strength. I know your work. Lord, tonight, cause your children to hear you.

In the secret of their beds, let them hear you. Lord, I am praying, whisper to them. Those that thought as if their challenges is so unsurmountable.

To them, it looks so. But to you, it's nothing. Lord, please cause them to hear you tonight.

And cause your word to mix with faith in their hearts. In the name of Jesus. Can I beg you to arise? As I now pray together with you.

It was Paul that said, my determined purpose is that I may know him. I want to know this God more personally. As I pray with you, the Lord will appear to you.

The Lord will speak very intimately. He will be introducing himself to your heart. Because he is true.

It's not a fake, it's not a fiction. It's not an imagination of any man. Even if I were not here to preach, he is still able to speak by himself.

It's not because we are introducing him that he is. He is, even when there is no preacher. I said, nobody was there when that man was trying to tamper with the holy vessels.

Baba's hand appeared. And that man finished that night. God will intervene in your cases.

He has the key. There is no door that was shut against you that he cannot open. He has the key.

He has the key to where every resource of your need is. And when he opens it, nobody can query him. He has the key.

In case, even just tonight, you have doubted God for many years. Fear has not allowed you to release the whole of your life to the hand of Jesus. You are feeling insecure, so you are running here and there, helter-skelter.

You are going from pillar to post. You are seeking protection where you cannot get. Human beings who are liars, they have made promises to you, it has failed.

Even preachers who just want to collect something from you, they told you fantastic lies, it has failed. And maybe you are saying, that's how all preachers are. I think you should change your mind.

That's not how they are. It is true. Maybe when I want to pray, you just feel like saying, Lord, I have doubted you too long.

I have blocked myself. I have hindered myself from touching the reality of who you are. Fear has made me restless.

I have not yielded my heart to Him who answers prayer. And you wish that I should talk to God for you personally. I say, Lord, tonight, why would I withhold myself from such a loving Father who can be trusted? And you want to personally say to Jesus tonight, why can't I trust you? What is it that is making me afraid to hand over my life to you? I want to do it tonight.

I just want to surrender my heart and say, Lord Jesus, since you are the King, you know what to do with my case. Where are you? Can you lift that right hand and say, Lord Jesus, I have no reason to doubt you. Thank you, my brother.

Thank you, thank you. I have no reason to be afraid of you again. Thank you, my brother.

I choose to trust you in this year. I choose not to think twice again. I want to take you by your word.

I want to cast my life into your hand and see what you will do with it. Thank you. Just raise your hand above your head.

It's a great day. It's a great day. Everywhere you have gone in life, you've made disappointments, but he will never disappoint you.

I tell you the truth that it is true. I have found him so. And I have proved that he never forgets.

He can't forget you. He will remember you. God bless you.

Can I pray with you personally? As you raise that hand above your head, can you please walk? Let me join hand with your hand together before God. Just come. Just come before the Lord.

Wherever you are. I say, Lord Jesus, I have no reason to doubt you. Today, I'm going to hand over to you.

Thank you. I want to tell you brothers, as we stand before God tonight, whatsoever it is, God said, try me with this. He has said, come to me, all you that live and are heavy laden.

I will give you rest. There's nobody who has ever tried him and he has disappointed them before. Thank you.

Thank you, sister. You may have gone here and there and said, if you meet this man, if you meet that prophet, they will do something. No, no, no, no.

Come to him. Nobody has ever come to him and he has disappointed them before. And I'm assuring you tonight, you are coming to him who is true.

God is true. God is true. My brother, God is true.

He cannot cajole you. He cannot fail. He must prevail.

As I want to pray with this, my brothers, my friends, my brothers, sisters who have come before God, whatever challenge you have carried for years, drop it at his feet. He knows how to handle it. He has the key.

I want you to know tonight that he has the key. Jesus has the key. I'm the way, I'm the truth, I'm the life.

So, whosoever comes to me, I will know why it's cast out. So, whosoever believes in me, I will be put to shame. He has the key.

Thank you, my brothers. You see someone, the Holy Spirit is saying, how long will you be between two opinions? The Holy Spirit is saying, have you tried God and he has failed you before? Those who failed you, they were not him. Those who disappointed you, they were the fake one.

It's not him. Thank you, my brother. It's okay now.

It's okay. It's okay now. Put your hand on your heart.

Just place this on your heart. Just tell him, Jesus, I have come to you. I choose to trust you with my life.

I choose to bring myself to you as I am. I know you never cajole any man. And you have never told a lie.

And you cannot deceive me. I have come to you. I have handed my heart to you.

I have cast all my cares on you. Take my life now. Do what you know how to do.

Because you say you never ask the sons of Jacob to seek you in vain. You will never have invited me to yourself in vain. You are able to save to the uttermost.

You have the key to help me. You have the key to deliver me. You have the key to set me free.

You have the key to make a way for me. You have the key to release me. I put my life in your hand.

Lord Jesus, take over. Whatever my sin has been, I bring it to you. Knowing that you are able to forgive.

And you are able to cleanse me. And you are able to give me a new heart. Lord, take my life.

Organize it for me. And change my story. Thank you for hearing my prayer.

In Jesus name I have prayed. Amen. Now I pray with you.

With your hand on your heart. I want you to know that he answers prayer. Father, because you are God who answers prayer.

You said, come to me. All you that live and are able, I will give you rest. This is the beginning of this decade.

And these friends of mine are saying, we can't be making trial and error again. And they are stepping out to hand over to you. Whatever be the situation in which they are being, you are able to overrule it.

Because you have the key. Lord, open the gate unto them now. Open the door of salvation to them.

Open the way of deliverance unto them. You have the key. Every threat that Satan has brought their lives under, from this afternoon, this night, release them in the name of Jesus.

Every prison door, he who has the key says, open. When Jesus met that man that had been dead and gone for years, he only said, open. And that was the end of that trouble.

Every blockage on your life, blockade on your womb, open in the name of Jesus Christ. He who has the key commands that door to open. Every door that is shut against any of your lives, door that sin shut against you, door that ancestors have shut against you, this night, by the word of God and by the power in the name of Jesus, we command those doors to open now.

And for some of you, even when you are struggling to enter, you are entering through a door that cannot take you. But I hear God saying, tonight, I set an open door before you. A double door.

Father, tonight, every narrowness that these people have struggled with, open the doors. Give them space that will contain and release them to fulfill their destiny. Lord, as we begin to counsel them one after the other, Heavenly Father, confirm your word in their lives.

All those who have any challenge of health, whatever the doctor calls it, by the laying of hands today, we release you in the name of Jesus. The peace of God that passes all human understanding shall be released upon your life from today. In the name of Jesus Christ.

You will no longer be up and down. And those of you that it is unbelief that has tied you around the wilderness, will rebuke unbelief tonight. The Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Faith will spring in your heart now. Faith for miracle will spring in your heart. Faith for victory will spring out in your heart.

Faith for the impossible will spring forth within your heart in the name of Jesus. Thank you for this night. Lord, as I release them to you, Lord, cover them with your wings.

Let them know the divine protection and let them come back with testimony that see what God has begun to do. The joy of salvation will become your joy from this night forward. Father, we have just started this visions retreat and we all are standing in your presence.

We have no reason to doubt you. All the words that you are declaring to us, we know you are capable and you are able to bring it to pass. So with one accord, we lift up our voices to say to you, Lord, we believe.

Be it unto us according to your word. There are people who are speaking deliberately into their lives. You are speaking things that it looks mind boggling, it looks as if, ah, is it not too big? Well, because you are the Lord who said it.

When you mentioned Cyrus in those days, nobody knew how Cyrus could arise. But you brought him to the stage and you used him to do what you said. So Lord, I'm speaking to you on behalf of anyone who are standing here.

What you said concerning them will come to pass. Amen. Your promises concerning each one of us will come to pass.

Amen. You have called even a ravenous bird from the east to establish your council before. You used four lepers to bring your promise to pass.

You caused the wind to blow from the four corners of the earth and quays gathered just to honor your word. This night, whosoever, wherever they are, who must do anything to cause your word to come to pass concerning any of these brothers, mobilize them now in the name of Jesus. Even if government policy must change for your will to be established in their lives, set it in action from tonight.

Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ. Even if scholarship board have to call emergency meeting to make sure that the case of this brother is settled according to your promise, let it be done in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. Thank you, Father. Lord, this night, let your grace be sufficient.

Let your word continue to speak. Let the only ghost begin to overshadow our lives. Thank you, Father.

In Jesus Christ's name, we are prayed. Amen.
