We appreciate your holy name. This morning, you bring us to an understanding. Bring your word to us with great power. In Jesus name, we worship. Celebrate the Lord. Halleluyah. Let me celebrate the choir. Celebrate, celebrate. Please take your seat. Hallelujah. I want to welcome everyone of us in the name of the Lord Jesus. And I want to appreciate God for the gift of life. For bringing us together once again. It has been the favor of God upon our lives. Shout Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Uh and I want to acknowledge and recognize the presence of one of our mothers seated in the house before I proceed further. The mother of our brother brother Benjamin. Mother in Israel, Temitope Lawa. Let's celebrate mommy, please. Let's celebrate mommy. Mummy of Kabo Sariwa. God bless you. <applause> <groan> </applause> </groan> Eku <foreign> a yo lo ru ni fi si le. </foreign> Amen. <applause> </applause> Um, last week, we started a series by the grace of God, and today, we are going to continue. Um, we could not extend further the second service much more because of the prayer we were led into by the Spirit of God. I believe that the Lord is taking us as a church. Somebody shared the revelation with me, even though I've not been able to reply him of what he saw when we were praying last week, that there was, you know, the move of the power of God upon everyone. And so, um, let's begin to align into this movement as individuals so that we can collectively experience what the Lord is doing at this hour to us as a church. It's important you know that God moves individuals, in move families, He moves a church into a season. So, if you acknowledge that, you can, you know, get yourself in alignment with what the Lord is doing at this hour. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I will say a few things from where we stopped last week, that will continue today. As the Lord is the Lord to share today, and I'm trusting in the Holy Spirit to help us, go in depth. Hallelujah. The acts of the Spirit. acts of the spirit. And we began to see that the book of Acts of the Apostles was basically the expression of different dimensions of the Holy Ghost. And we were able to see last week about seven dimensions. The spirit of faith, the spirit of power, is the same spirit of love, is the spirit of wisdom, is the spirit of revelation, is the spirit of liberty. He is the same spirit of adoption. And if you look at the entire book of Acts, all of this manifestations was real. Especially in the life of Paul, we saw that wisdom took a strong base in him. That even one of the Apostles acknowledge him and say, our brother Peter I mean, Peter talking to Paul, say our brother Paul, God has given him such a spirit of wisdom. God has given him wisdom. And so, you can't have the acts of the Apostles without the person of the Holy Ghost. And not until Acts chapter 2, the Holy Ghost had not taken full in-dwelling place. Except in Christ, at Jordan. And so, God wanted his expression in reality, and in every one of us, and the only way God can be in every one of us is by the means of the Holy Ghost. Shout Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the only way God can have a family is to have his DNA deposited in you. It's the seal of of of of your redemption, the Holy Ghost. As soon as the Holy Ghost enters a man, he becomes a family of God. You are a member of the family of God. Shout Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it is the same spirit that orchestrate internal life in us. Well, no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Ghost. You know, for so long, we have been taught that the Holy Ghost is about going in trance, and, you know, speaking in tongues and seeing revelation. But there is more to the Holy Ghost than that. For you to come into the relation relationship with the Holy Ghost, you have to understand these things. That our life will amount to nothing without him. We are nothing. We are as useless as stone without the Holy Ghost. Doesn't matter how intelligent you are. He is the mind of God. The Holy Ghost is the intelligence of the Spirit. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So, everything God from inception, from creation, everything God did, he did it with the Holy Ghost. So, tell me one thing you should do in your life without him, that is the place you will find problem in your life. I can tell you, without prophesying, I can tell you that. Exclude him from your marriage, I will celebrate your failure. <laughter> </laughter> Because you are failing before you see your failure, you are a failure without him. There is no office pastoral, apostolic teaching office. It doesn't matter how many school you go to, if the Holy Ghost is not there, you are not a prophet. There is a noise maker. Let me tell you this, the difference between a soothsayer, who gives revelation by the by the spirit of demon, and a prophet, is the Holy Ghost. The soothsayer says the future, the prophet says the future. The difference is that there's a higher spirit in the prophet. <gasp> We are </gasp> empty without him. We are nothing. Shout Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I want to stir your spirit with the help of the Holy Spirit, that your desire for the Holy Spirit will advance. That it will be a daily craving. You will not wait for only Michael Day, Mazita, Karad, you know, I remember those days how they prepare us for Michael Day to meet with the Holy Ghost. And they say, don't worry, there's a day you will prepare. And so everybody is waiting. We didn't know is everyday affair. It's a relationship. In your room, you are with him. Manta, Karades, we didn't know. It says a day of Pentecost, we should wait for our own day of Pentecost. When you can fellowship with him, Holy Spirit, help me this morning to communicate your mind. And I said something I believe the Holy Spirit put that in my mind last week. That as far as the church is concerned, the Holy Ghost inaugurated the church. There was no church until Acts chapter 2. What brought about church? The rushing mighty wind. The infilling of the Holy Ghost is what church. Why is it called church? Ecclesia, called out. Church, the body. We become the body because the Holy Ghost partook in us, or came into us, and resided. So, we are called church, not because we have a building. We are a church because we have a person that unite us together in one spirit. <cheering> We decide </cheering> to gather out there, we are still a church without this building. Why? There's a spirit who is in me, in you, seated in everyone. The same spirit, the same capacity. As long as we are a church. Because church actually means body. Whose body? The body of Christ. That's the church. And I began to explain last week, that anything that has to do with the church, be careful. You are directly dealing with the Holy Ghost. <laughter> </laughter> <snicker> Is the </snicker> reason people steal from the church, they don't know who they are dealing with. Apostle Paul told Ananias. He said, he didn't say why did you lie to me? Because he knew they were not dealing with him, as far as the establishment is concerned. He said, why did you lie to the Holy Spirit of God? When you are dealing with the church, and you see when people come to church and start fighting, I pity their destiny. They scatter it. Or you come to church so that you can deceive one of our sister. You are trying to deceive the Holy Ghost. We may not know you, but he knows you. You are in business relationship with a brother in church. That is where you should be more careful. But you are because you are dealing with a member of his body. So he is involved in that transaction. His signature may not be appended on your agreement, but it's because you are dealing with a member of the body. Let's be careful. So that we will not be fighting whom you whom should be should be helping you. Some people are fighting who should be helping them. They are helpers. It's who they are fighting, the Holy Ghost. If If the devil wants to destroy someone who is a member of the body, He separates him from the body and makes him spites the body. And he thinking he's fighting with people. The same thing with the leadership of a church. When the leadership of a church is wrong, be careful. You may not be you you see. The Lord May the Lord help us. It's better to walk away than to be fighting. Because you can't fight for the Holy Ghost. So that you will not turn out to be fighting him. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So, I just those are still those are some of the things I said, you know, last week. And the consciousness of the ministry of the Holy Spirit makes you fully dependent and truly accountable. fully depend, you know that anything you are doing, you are not doing it independent of you. So you get counsel from him all the time. On every matter. And you know that you can't just do it anyhow, because you are accountable to him. You are. Praise God. Hallelujah. Being conscious of those of the of the ministry of the Holy Spirit make you spiritually sensitive and on the guard against other infiltrating spirits. One of the things that is common in the church today is that people cannot even differentiate again when it is the Holy Ghost or other spirits. Especially in the area of giftings. When you when you are very conscious and aware and you are in relationship with the Holy Spirit, you are so much in sync with him. When anybody ministers by any other spirit, you will know. Yeah. First Timothy chapter 4 from verse 1. 1 Timothy 4 from verse 1. Let me show you this quickly. Now, the spirit speaketh expressly. Which spirit? Talk to me. Which spirit? Anywhere you see the spirit, he's the one. The Holy Ghost speaketh expressly, but it's not everybody that hears expressly. He is speaking, not everyone hears. May you have the hearing here. Amen. Yeah. Now, the speak the spirit, you know, it's a challenge when a child of God says I don't hear God. It's a big challenge because you will make decisions that will put you in trouble. Now, the spirit speaketh expressly. What is he saying? That indeed latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits. One of the things that is happening now is what you are seeing here. All kinds of spirit trying to mimic the spirit of God. And the Bible says certain sect of the church will yield unto these spirits. And to doctrines, one of the results is that they will start teaching the doctrines of the devil. You can sleep around, no problem. It is your spirit that will resurrect, your body will not. Doctrines of devils. See all kind of teachings, a lot a lot, all kind of teachings today. And you know, for those of us who like to hear new things, be careful what source you are hearing from. There's nothing new. We are only teaching what has been written. Hallelujah. You know, in an attempt to sound different, in an attempt to sound more intelligent, is the reason people give heed to this kind of spirits. Verse 2. Look at verse 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron. Speaking lies with hypocrisy. You know the meaning of that? They speak lies and make it look like the truth. If you are comfortable speaking lies on every matter, when it comes to spiritual matter, it will be easier for you. For instance, if you are in the prophetic office and you are married, is you lie to your wife, I can tell that you will one day prophesy a lie. It's easy. Because if you can do it in smaller in small matters, you will do it in wetter ones. He said, the Bible says, speaking lies in hypocrisy, because of the spirit. What some people call the prophetic today is a lie. It's just like falsehood. Because that I give you a correct message doesn't mean it's from the spirit of truth. It is still a lie. That it might be your prophecy, it might be accurate, but that it is not from the spirit of of truth, as far as God is concerned, you are a liar. Praise God. Hallelujah. I pray the Lord will help us in Jesus name. So, the knowledge and relationship with the Holy Spirit enhances your discernment. Can you pray in one minute? Say, Holy Ghost, enhance my discernment. Ayaya. You are not sincere with that prayer. Holy Ghost, enhance in Jesus name. Amen. Come on, in Jesus name. Amen. You know discernment works not only in church, not only for false prophecy, even in business. You go to the market, you won't buy something wrong if your discernment is is accurate. You just know by the spirit. So, it has to do with every face of your life. You can't mis-marry if your discernment is sharp. You can't. You just know as the brother, he looks like a brother, he speaks in tongue. Somehow in your spirit you know. You know all of that is just because what is discernment? Ability to see through what the natural eyes can see. You just can't tell. Everything looks okay. In your spirit you can just say that something is wrong here. You are called for a business contract and everything looks nice. They say, you know, everything you you will sign a contract, your spirit in your spirit you just feel something is wrong. Hallelujah. Amen. Yeah, I've mentioned this. So being conscious of your relationship with the Holy Spirit makes you exceptional in your service in the kingdom and the demonstration of spiritual gifts. You see a lot of people crave for gifts, but don't crave for a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Many of us are gifted people, which is very nice. It's a nice thing to be gifted of the spirit. But if you don't have a relationship with the Holy…
