Hi there. Welcome to NECF. We're excited to share

today's message with you. Don't go anywhere.

Stay with us till the end for some valuable resources

to enrich your faith. Here's today's sermon.

Can we just still pray in the Holy Ghost just

in two minutes? Can we just pray in the Holy

Ghost in two, three minutes? One of the things

that you're going to pray. Amen. Let me just

instruct us. Please follow the instruction. The

instruction is one. And the prayer is that, Lord,

I have supernatural experiences. I have supernatural

experiences. And I have so much operations. I

see so much operations of the gifts of the Holy

Ghost. I have supernatural experiences. And I

experience and I see so much. operations of the

gifts of the Holy Ghost at work in my life. I

have supernatural. Before we pray, let me say

something. Last two days, I wanted to sleep.

And after the whole prayers, I just said something.

I said, Holy Spirit, as I sleep, I have supernatural

experiences. And I slept. That night, I had several

dreams. Series of dreams from one to another,

to another, to another. But let me just say one

on this platform. So there's a pastor in Nigeria.

We have never met. We have never talked. I know

about him through someone that left from here.

But it's been a while we spoke about the pastor.

But I slept. And when I slept, I had a dream

with him that both of us were traveling on a

road. I was inside a bus. The pastor was also

in their bus. If you are in Nigeria or in Africa,

you know that normally where you are taking,

where you are traveling long distances, the driver

tends to stop on the road. So that everybody

that needs to ease themselves, buy food and all

those things. So, but this time around, we met

them on the road and then they were resting.

So the pastor and his friend were just by the

car, you know, sitting down and kneeling behind

on the car. And then I dropped from my bus. And

as I saw him, I quickly recognized him. I recognized

him by the face. And I said, oh, pastor, how

are you doing? Fine. How is everything? You know,

so I was like, ah, so -and -so person has told

me so much about you. He was like, wow. I said,

yes, sir. You know? So, and when we started talking,

he now began to tell me something about humming

and something about mounting. Right? The dream

was so real. So real. So, but I perceived from

the dream that he was trying to tell me about

something. So, but as we're just talking, my

driver called that let's go. And we left. And

then we left them there. They also had their

own journey. So, but when I woke up, I contacted

that person. I said, please, what's the name

of this pastor and his ministry and this and

this? Details were sent to me. And then I chatted

with the person. The person said, well, I have

access to him. I said, okay, these are some of

the things I saw. These are some of the things.

But as I started chatting, I began to perceive

in my heart that the Lord was bringing increase

to the pastor's ministry. It was bringing increase,

and at the same time, there was going to be an

outburst of the things of the Spirit, healing,

miracles, signs, and wonders. And when I chatted

with the person, the person told me, ah, sir,

in fact, this is twice now we have had about,

is it 14 or 21 hours of prayers. And I told the

person, I said, as I'm chatting you now, confirm

from the pastor also, because this same thing

I'm saying now, somebody told the pastor some

days ago. Recently, Abagji, same thing. It's

a confirmation. So all my chats that we chatted

with the person was forwarded to the pastor.

And you know, the pastor replied. And amazingly,

the pastor replied and confirmed everything that

I said. Every one of them. I just slept. I have

not seen the person on Instagram. I didn't scroll

my phone. I didn't talk with anybody. And this

person is in Nigeria and I'm here. Supernatural

experiences. Word of wisdom. Word of knowledge.

Certain things that are going to happen, the

Spirit of God will bring it to our hearts. Our

eyes will see in the Spirit. Our ears will hear

by the Spirit. I tell you this. I can tell you

series of testimonies that have happened in just

these past two weeks. Supernatural experiences.

By the spirit of God. Deeper levels. I tell you.

Deeper levels of experiences. These things are

real. And they are happening by the spirit of

God. Can we just pray? In two minutes. The instruction

is. I have supernatural experiences. And I see

more operations of the gifts of the Holy Ghost.

I have supernatural experiences. Maltese of the

Obrich of the Horde of the Cobbiddy. Errato.

Rosobracat. Zemelec no Cototeci. I have supernatural

experiences. In the spirit, my heart is open

in the spirit. I receive instructions for my

wife. I receive instructions and directions for

my children. There is much more demonstrations

of the geese fleets. In Jesus' name we pray.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. There's a sister

that used to worship with us here in this church.

She was among the first people that we started

the church with. But it's been a while I spoke

with her. It's been a while I spoke with her.

You know, that night, I don't know, I can't call

it a dream, I can't call it a vision, but it

was too real. I knew that this was beyond just

real. You know, and I saw her in the church.

She was wearing their regalia, white in the church.

Everybody was wearing white clothes. But when

I saw I was there and I wonder, I said, but no,

why are you among these people? Because I was

like, the knowledge you have, you're not supposed

to be among this. But it was like, I saw manipulation.

That's what I perceived in the dream. That I

saw as though someone manipulated her to be in

that assembly. You know, so I reached out to

her and I told her, I said, how are you doing?

How is the place? Which church do you worship

with? She told me it's in Soso Place. And I said,

perfect. I said, but this is what I had as a

dream. I dreamed about this, this, this, this,

this. She said, Pastor, do you know that two

of these days have been having the same dream

I just told you about? And when we began to talk,

she began to tell me certain things. And I told

her, these are some of the things I perceive

by the Spirit of God. And she now had to confirm

how certain people have been coming to her to

talk to her about the work of ministry. And I

told her, I said, okay, these are the things

I perceive in my heart that you need to be careful

about this. You need to be careful about this.

You need to be careful about that. I know a whole

lot. So the Spirit of God is able to supply so

much supernatural experience to you. Be open.

Be open. Let your heart be open. Take initiative

and participate in what the Holy Ghost is doing.

He will use you to bring deliverance to your

friends. He will use you to bring comfort to

your family. He will use you to bring direction

to your husband. He will use you to bring direction

to your wives. Husband, listen to your wives.

Wives, listen to your husbands. Children, listen

to your friends. Listen to your children. Directions

are coming by the Spirit of God in the Holy Ghost.

The demonstration of the things of the Spirit

are unlimited. They are unlimited. As we continue

teaching, there will be so much that the Holy

Ghost will be bringing to you. I tell you this

by the Spirit of God that you're going to be

receiving instructions by the Spirit of God.

Even when we began praying, I perceived by the

Spirit of God someone came. You have been praying

these past few days regarding revelation and

knowledge. Regarding revelational knowledge,

you desire to not only read and listen to messages

and see life in the world, but also you want

utterance by the Spirit of God. Receive that

now in the name of Jesus. Receive that now in

the name of Jesus. Even after this meeting, I

tell you this, by the Spirit of God, you are

experiencing so much revelation and knowledge.

So much, I tell you this. And it will be obvious

and the pastors are going to confirm it because

they're going to see you walk in it. Glory to

God. So we are discussing about the Holy Ghost

meeting. Please. If you're on this platform and

Thank you, Holy Ghost. Did I say chapter 14?

Chapter 12. 1 Corinthians chapter 12. The title

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

of our message is Holy Ghost Meetings. Holy Ghost

Meetings. Holy Ghost Meetings. Verse 1. On Sunday

we just stop at verse 3. Let's start reading

from verse 1 to 3 today. Now concerning spiritual

gifts brethren, I will not have you ignorant.

I just want to do a fast recap now. That verse

3 there is talking about the believer. It's talking

about people that are saved. You can't say Jesus

is Lord. You can't confess the Lord Jesus Christ

except by the Spirit of God. And that is Romans

Romans 10 · chapter mention

chapter 10. Let's go to Romans chapter 10. Let's

Romans 10 · chapter mention

see. You can put your hand in 1 Corinthians chapter

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

12 so that you can cross -reference this scripture

verse 3. It says that no man can say that Jesus

is Lord. No man can confess that Jesus is Lord

by what? By what? By the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3. Verse 9. Thus give thou shall confess

with thy mouth. If thou shall say with thy mouth

the Lord Jesus. and shall believe in thy heart

that God hath raised him from the dead, thou

shalt be saved. Only the man that is saved can

say the Lord Jesus, can confess the Lordship

of Jesus. And that happens by the Spirit of God.

And we said in the last message, How did we encounter

the Spirit of God at salvation? How at salvation?

By the word of truth that we've heard, that is

the gospel. So the hearing of the gospel, that

is salvation, was that first moment where we

encountered the Spirit of God. And since then,

our lives never remained the same. Hallelujah.

Our nature changed. See what the scripture says.

That man has a regenerated spirit in the Lord.

He has a new nature. And that is why when we

keep reading now, it says all things are God

who has reconciled us unto himself like Jesus

Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

A new nature with a new assignment. Hallelujah.

A new nature with a new assignment. A new nature

with a new calling. A new nature that separated

us from the dumb idols that we've been carried

away. Our previous life. When we read Ephesians

Ephesians 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2. I know these scriptures that is coming

to my spirit now. We didn't read them on Sunday.

But they are just popping more in my heart. Ephesians

Ephesians 2:1

chapter 2 verse 1. He said, and you had it quickened.

Who were dead in trespasses and sins. In time

past, yea, walk according to the curse of this

world, according to the prince of the power of

the air, the spirit that now walketh in the children

of disobedience, among whom also we all had a

conversation in time past. Can you see? Dumb

idols in the past. So the believer cannot be

known again by his past nature. So how did we

encounter the Holy Ghost? We encountered the

Holy Ghost and salvation. How? By the hearing

of the gospel. That gospel that we have heard

has made us spiritual men. So we have the Spirit

of God dwelling in our insides. When you say

that I am spiritual, What you are saying in essence

is that I have the spirit of God dwelling where?

Dwelling in my inside. And we read Corinthians

chapter 3 verse 16. We say you are the temple

of the Holy Ghost. So the Holy Ghost dwells in

our inside. Hallelujah. I don't have another

type of spirit. I don't have a demon spirit.

I don't have a spirit of lust. I don't have a

spirit of pride. I don't have a spirit of jealousy

in me. I have the spirit of the living God dwelling

in my inside. See, let me set the course of our

hearts in order. That you see this casatismo

that is coming this year. Whatever you will do,

as long as you're on this island, be part of

it. I have the spirit of the living God dwells

in me. And whatever you see, you see, that thing,

that thing that we see in the church manifesting

the kingdom of God is already powered on the

spirit of God that is dwelling in us. Every manifestation,

every demonstration, every oppression is powered

by the Spirit of God. Which we are going to come

to see in the subsequent verses we're going to

read in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. So we establish

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

in a way of introduction on Sunday about salvation,

that the Holy Ghost meetings are for peace. Hallelujah.

Can we have people that are unsaved come to it?

Yes, we're going to come to it. Amen. But Holy

Ghost meetings primarily for people that are

saved. Hallelujah. Because we're going to see

the word giving room and we're going to see the

Holy Ghost giving room for manifestation, for

demonstration and for operations. Hallelujah.

So all that I've said now are the things that

we discussed. On Sunday, in a way of introduction,

that we are saved. We are spiritual men. The

Holy Ghost walks in us when? Hallelujah. He said,

now, where we read in 1 Corinthians chapter 12.

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

He said, not tomorrow. Now, we have not received

the spirit of the world. What have we received?

We have received the spirit of the living God.

Now. The believer's life is a current reality.

Do you hear what I said? The believer's life

is a current reality in Christ. It's not a past

reality. Oh boy, every day our lives is a current

reality in Christ Jesus. The walkings of the

Holy Ghost is a current walking. That is why

the believer must desire to see more. the manifestation

of the things of the Holy Ghost at work in his

life. Because it's a current reality. There is

more in the spirit of God to experience. Our

hearts must be set in order. Our hearts must

be set in order. There is so much that the Holy

Ghost wants to do in our lives. And let me tell

us, these things can only happen in meetings.

Hallelujah. These things can only happen in meetings.

Let me share a testimony of Bro Gabriel. Bro

Gabriel is on this platform. When he was experiencing

the symptoms of some of those illnesses, his

wife would tell us when she comes to church,

she would say that he has mission. In fact, if

you are like him, he wants to come to church.

You must understand that all that God will do

in your life, the training, the teachings, will

happen through meetings. Let me say it again.

You must understand that all that God will do,

all that God will manifest, the instructions,

the growth, the directions, the clarity, will

happen through meetings. The trainings will happen

through meetings. The growth will happen through

meetings. The manifestations will happen through

meetings. I will not have you ignorant, my brethren.

Do not despise meetings. We are who we are today

because of meetings. Bro Victor will shout that.

All the pastors will shout that. Every one of

us will shout that. We are who we are today as

a result of what? Meetings. I remember my mom,

oh boy, my mom would force us to go to vigils.

She does not care whether you will go. I have

one picture somewhere here among my album. I

shared it some time ago. My mom gave me her story,

one big Bible. The Bible is bigger than me. One

big Bible. And we touch like you see me. You

know, I held a big Bible and we touch like. Brethren,

in that vigil, I slept all through. But we're

still there. She would tell the brothers when

they are going, when she cannot go. She said,

please, can you branch and take my children to

vigil? Don't worry. Any minute they are going

to sleep, let them sleep there. In the morning,

drag them back. Some vigils, we don't know what

was happening, what they did there. I know the

church is big. So you actually even went there

angrily, you know. So when people are praying,

you are at the back sleeping. So sometimes they

will remember that you are sleeping. They will

just come around. I know Pastor Victor is smiling.

He must have had a similar experience, you know.

So they will come and drag you. You know, you

will go around. They will just pray, pray, pray,

pray. Before they knew, you will sneak again.

But let me tell you, let me say this. You see,

with the Holy Ghost, even if you don't know the

value of a meeting, He will ensure that that

knowledge catches with you in the future. So

some things will be illogical, but with time,

the Holy Spirit will make it logical to your

mind. Do you hear what I said? Some things will

be what? Will be illogical to you now. But as

you continue to grow, as the Holy Ghost continues

to ensure that you are being trained in church

meetings, in gatherings, they will start getting

logical to your mind. So these things, these

experiences are experiences happening to men

that have the Holy Ghost in their inside. Hallelujah.

So one of the things we established on Sunday

is that Holy Ghost meetings are for spiritual

men. And what do we mean by spiritual men? Men

that are saved. Men that have the Spirit of God

dwelling in their inside. As we began to read,

we said that again. That God's will has been

that his people will always be gathered before

him. God's will has been that his mind will be

revealed to his people in gatherings. God's will

has been that his people will be trained in gatherings.

That is why Pastor Victor shouted, you cannot

be built or built in isolation. You can't say

that my Holy Spirit is special. No, we have received

common spirit. We have received common faith.

We have received common gospel. We have received

common gifts. Hallelujah. So we began to read

from Exodus. We began to read all through to

trace and see how God's will has been for his

people. It has been in gatherings and meetings.

Can you just add these two chapters of the Old

Testament that we've read? Let's read 2 Kings

2 Kings 23 · chapter mention

chapter 23. Oh, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory.

2 Kings 23. Desire the things of the Spirit.

Desire supernatural experiences. Desire to see...

The Holy Ghost manifests much more through your

life. 2 Kings 23, verse 1. And the king sent,

2 Kings 23:1

and they gathered. Can you see? If it's your

Bible. And they gathered unto him all the elders

of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went

up into the house of the Lord, and all the men

of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem

were with him. And the priests and the prophets

and all the people, both small and great, and

he read in their ears. Hallelujah. He read in

their ears all the words of the book of the covenant

which was found in the house of the Lord. And

the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant

before the Lord, walked after the Lord, and to

keep his commandments and his testimonies and

his acts with all their heart and with all their

soul. to perform the words of this covenant that

were written in this book. And all the people

stood to us to the covenant. Did it happen with

everybody in their houses? No. How did it happen?

All the house of Judah, all the people of Jerusalem

were what? Were gathered before the Lord in the

temple. so that the words of the covenant can

be read into their ears. Where do believers learn

how to obey God? In meetings. Where do they hear?

about the instructions from the mind of God in

meetings. See, nobody should undermine meeting.

Don't ever be among people that undermine believers'

meetings. When they say, you, eh, you, eh, it's

your church. Tell them, this church, church,

church, church, church, church, is what has made

my life better, better, better, better, better.

I remember one guy, we grew up doing Sunday school.

Then, I would drive around with my mom's car,

and then he saw me one day, he just came, he

said, he said, you, eh, they used to call me

Wadi at home. You know? And then, he said, you,

I don't understand. You know, you people, this

same person with this Sunday school, see his

statement. He said, you know, you people are

doing church, church, same guy with this Sunday

school. He said, you people are doing cho -chos.

You know, we now, things have changed. And I

said, Abek, can you just find me something there?

You see now, you are driving car around. I say,

you see this car? The owner of the car just gave

me the key. She foils it. She put everything.

It's not my car. His mouth is already black.

When I say black, you should already know. The

Lord will give you understanding. His mouth is

already black. His eyes very red. He needs the

next 20 nera so that he can smoke his lungs away.

Let me tell you, this same chore, chore, chore,

chore that he said we have been doing is where

we are now. We is where we are. That same...

that they refuse to do is where they are now.

I returned home in 2022 after eight years. Do

you know that I saw these boys on that same place

where they drink local beers? Same place. That

is after almost 12 years, 13 years or 14 years.

These guys are still on that same place. Let

me say this. Nobody ever, nobody ever stands

with Jesus. Nobody ever gives his best for Jesus.

And Jesus sees his life to be a waste. Never.

It will never be said of you. That because you

gave yourself for Christ. See let me tell you.

Let me say this now. God has already sealed it.

By the gift of the Holy Ghost in your heart.

That your life can never be a waste. If you need

an evidence. Hold this as an evidence. That God

has sealed it. That your life can never amount.

See, you know when they say, no, no, no, no,

no, no, you're going to be a waste. They just

give me some time. That is the evidence we have.

So, God's might has always been revealed. Let's

just write this down, please. You can add it

as an extra scripture. Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 15:9–15

15, verse 9 to 15. 2 Chronicles 15, verse 9 to

2 Chronicles 15:9–15

15. Luke 4, verse 16. Luke 4, verse 16. Let's

see God reads. Luke 4, verse 16. Are we all here?

Luke 4:16

Hallelujah. Praise God. Luke chapter 4 verse

Luke 4:16

16. See what the scripture says. And he came

to Nazareth and Jesus came to Nazareth where

he had been brought up and as his custom was.

Can it be said about you that Attending believers'

meetings is your custom. Hallelujah. It's your

custom. As his custom was, he went into the synagogue

on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. I was

glad when they said to me, let us go to where?

Let us go to the house of the Lord. As his custom

was. He went to the synagogue. As his custom

was. Please was always in the church. Or is always

in the church. As his custom is. I am always

at the prayer meetings. As my custom is. I am

always at Sunday services. As my custom is. Let

it be said about you. That is your custom. As

his custom is. Jesus already had a custom. That

he was always in the synagogue. Can you see?

God's wings. Even Christ was always in God's

wings. Luke 24. Luke 24, verse 33. And they rose

Luke 24:33

up together. Luke 24, verse 33. And they rose

Luke 24:33

up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and

found the 11 guard up together. Hallelujah. And

them that were with them, saying, The Lord is

risen indeed and has appeared to us. The testimonies

of Christ are always shared among believers in

meetings. And when we continue reading, we will

see that Christ made them gather together. He

expanded the scripture and taught there for 40

days. In where? In meetings. In meetings. Gatherings.

John chapter 20. Here we are gathered together.

John 20 · chapter mention

the first day of the week, when the doors were

shut, where the disciples were assembled, where

the disciples were gathered together for fear

of Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst and

said unto them, Peace be unto thee, unto you.

And when he had so said, he shut up. unto them

his hands and his side. Then where the disciples

glanced, they saw the Lord. Where is Christ revealed

in gatherings? Where is Christ seen in gatherings?

Where is Christ known in gatherings, in meetings?

Jesus met them consistently in gatherings. Acts

did eat their meat with gladness and singleness

of heart, praising God and having fervor with

all the people, as the Lord added to the church.

If you are like me, you can say, as the Lord

added to the caverns of the believers, daily

sought as he should be seen. The caverns of the

believers. Where will the Lord bring increase

in meetings? Where will the Lord bring multiplication?

In meetings. They started 12, they became 120,

they became 3 ,000, they became 5 ,000, they

became a multitude in Acts chapter 6. The Lord

Acts 6 · chapter mention

kept increasing, increasing them. By Acts chapter

there was so much persecution and they scattered.

Multitudes separated and scattered everywhere.

Good news, they didn't scatter to be individual.

They scattered and continued raising gardens

and meetings. There's an example there in Acts

the gospel to the city of Samaria. When we read

down to 12, 13, 14, you will see God's dreams

dreams upon God's dreams upon God's dreams. Let

Those instructions of God to the church were

instructions for meetings. Ephesians chapter

Ephesians 4:11–13

4, verse 11 to 13, the gifts are for meetings.

Pastors for meetings, apostles for meetings,

evangelists for meetings, prophets for meetings.

Philippians chapter 1, verse 27, meetings, gatherings.

Philippians 1:27

Only let your conversation be as it becomes the

gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see

you or else be absent, I hear of your affairs,

that you stand together in one spirit, with one

mind, striving together for the faith of the

gospel. So we could see. Or we can see from all

the scriptures. They guard us for prayers. They

guard us for teachings. They guard us for preaching.

They guard us for evangelisms. Let me say it

again. They guard us for prayers. They guard

us for teachings. They guard us for preaching.

They guard us for evangelisms. They guard us

for fellowships and communions. Let me say it

again. They guard us for prayers. They guard

us for teachings. They guard us for preaching.

They gathered for communions and fellowships.

They gathered for evangelisms. Meetings. Meetings.

So the way you see and participate in meetings

shows how you are growing. Your desire, your

passion, your commitment to believers' gatherings

shows how you are growing. So why do we need

meetings? Why should we identify meetings? Why

should we identify meetings? Simple answer. So

that we can know how to conduct ourselves in

those meetings. Please hold this sentence that

I just said now with treasure because this is

the sentence we're going to operate with instructions.

Why do we need to identify different meetings?

Simple answer. So that we can know how to behave

and conduct ourselves in the different meetings.

Let's start reading from verse... 14, yes. These

days I write unto you, hope it to come unto you

shortly. See verse 15, everybody. But if I tarry

long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest

to do it, please. 1 Timothy 3, verse 14. Let's

1 Timothy 3:14

read verse 15. But if I tarry long, and that

thou mayest know how thou oughtest to do it,

to be his, to conduct, thank you Pastor Victor

for that word, to conduct yourselves in the house

of God, which is the church of the living God,

the pillar and the ground of truth. There is

a way the believer must conduct himself in the

house of God. So the believer knows every time

I'm coming to church, I am coming to the pillar

and the ground of truth. I am not coming to some

form of club. I am not coming to some form of

comedy platform. I am coming to an atmosphere

where I am going to be taught a trade. He says

you should know how to conduct yourself, even

in my essence. Hallelujah. So why should we identify

meetings? So that we can know how to conduct

ourselves. Do you know that there are certain

meetings? If you don't know the meetings, your

participation is not effective. And because your

participation is not effective, certain things

you're going to miss out on those meetings. So

there's a way we need to conduct ourselves in

meetings. There's a manner that we need to conduct

ourselves in meetings. So there's a way that

we need to jump into the meetings. There's a

posture. There's a posture. There's a posture.

Every time we are coming, there's a posture.

So we learn how to behave in the household of

God from the church. We learn how to do things

in the church, in meetings. All that we've listened.

from all that we've read, from all that we've

seen scripturally. You can write this for topic

now. Different kinds of meetings. Different kinds

of meetings. Different kinds of meetings. I know

this teaching by the Spirit of God is going to

bring so much revelational knowledge to us. And

it's going to change how we participate in meetings.

It's going to change when we come to church meetings.

It's going to change how we behave, how we conduct

ourselves. I know this by the Spirit of God.

Number one meeting. Number one. The very frequent

meetings that we always have is the teaching

meetings. Teaching meetings. You see, all the

things that we're going to discuss are all from

the scriptures we have read and where we are

coming from. The very frequent meetings that

we always have at what? At teaching meetings.

So teaching meetings are always and must always

be the frequent meetings we have. Teaching meetings.

And are always and must always be the frequent

meetings we should always have. Please, don't

ever get tired of teaching meetings. They are

always the frequent meetings that we should have.

They must always be the frequent meetings we

must have. Always. Because teaching meetings...

produces all the kinds of other meetings we're

going to talk about. Let me put this. Put premium

priority on teaching meetings. Please, I beg

you. If you are listening to me, are you on this

platform? Put premium. You say, oh, this church,

eh? You know, we are always having teaching,

teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching,

teaching, teaching. Godda, if you don't, let's

move. You understand this thing that I held in

my mouth now that I did not say very soon. Let's

just move it now. So these meetings are the primary

meetings that must always be found in local church.

They are the primary meetings that must always

be found where? In local church. Let me tell

you this now. Something came to my head now.

I just got an answer for somebody now. How do

I identify a local church I should be part of?

Number one, this answers your question now. Somebody

came to this platform with this question, and

this is the answer. How do I identify a local

church to be part of for my growth? Number one,

look out that that church gives premium so much

effort to teachings. They don't joke with teachings

of God's word. They don't joke with the doctrine

of Christ. Teaching services. So in teaching

meetings, what happens? In teaching meetings,

what happens? In teaching meetings, what happens

is that we come around to hear God's word. We

come around to hear God's word. We come around

for biblical doctrine, to be taught and trained

in biblical doctrine, the doctrine of Christ.

In teaching meetings, we come to study. You see,

we've been moving from one scripture to another,

to another, to another. This is teaching meeting.

So in teaching meetings, What happens? We come

around to hear God's word. We come around and

we are taught and trained in biblical doctrine.

Doctrine of who? Doctrine of Christ. We come

to study God's word. We move from one scripture

to another. We move from one scripture to another.

We look into different texts. We move from one

text. We move to Genesis. We go to Exodus. We

move to Jeremiah. We go to Psalms. We go to Isaiah.

We move to Matthew. We go to Luke. We go to Acts.

We go to Romans. We go to Revelation. We come

to 1 John. We go to 2 John. We go to 3 John.

We move from one scripture to another. That is

what we find in teaching meetings. In these meetings,

we have a subject. We are taught on subjects.

We study it. We study it. We study it. When I

was on campus, I used to attend a church. Let

me say it this way now, because I have knowledge.

I believe the Holy Spirit led our path to that

church. However... We attended that church with

the wrong motive because, you know, in the universities,

students, they are looking for sharp, sharp church.

You know, sharp, sharp church. Let me use this

word. Probably some of us, we are looking for

hit and run church. You know, hit and run. We're

looking for those churches that are hit and run.

Sniper churches. 30 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes,

25 minutes of work and we are out. First service,

second service, third service, fourth service,

fifth service, sixth service, for 35 minutes

each, for 35 minutes. We're looking for sniper

move kind of atmosphere. You know why? Because

already our CGPA has sniped us. You know, so

we're looking for where we'll just have it fast

and return back to the class. And then we now

heard that there is one church. You know? Let

me say the church because the church has built

us. Called the Oasis of Love Church. So, all

of us entered the bus and then carried ourselves

there. We didn't want to stay. One of the churches

where we used to attend, Pastor Victor knows

it. You know? We didn't want to stay in the chapel

because the church... So, you know? Thank you,

Pastor Victor. Pastor Fred said, our lives cannot

be built on heat around church model. Yes. Let

me say that. Let me say that. Our lives will

be built on stay and wait model kind of churches.

Stay and what? Stay and wait model kind of churches.

So we ran away. We went there. And that was where,

for the first time, I began to hear about Kenneth

Hagin. I began to hear about faith. Our pastor.

Pastor, I will call his name because he is a

great man. Pastor Tendi. Sir, we will take only

faith. They will say, the theme for the teaching,

for the coming, he always use this word, the

theme for the coming Sundays is faith. We will

teach faith for 10 months. See, you will hear

faith. That faith will enter your DNA. It will

enter your brain. It will enter your body. Have

you ever been taught to the point that the message

you were enjoying it, it became bitter, it started

getting sweeter, it started, you now are growing

in it, you are moving in it, you are building

faith and you are moving. So you see, teaching

meetings are not hit and run meetings. Teaching

meetings are meetings where you are built solidly

on God's word. So in teaching meetings, God communicates

his plans. He communicates his purposes. Do you

hear what I said? In 2 Timothy, God does what?

He communicates His plans. He communicates His

purposes to us. So now, let's look at scriptures

now so that we can build on that. Genesis 18,

Genesis 18:19

verse 19. Genesis 18, verse 19. So you see how

Genesis 18:19

we are building upon precepts, upon precepts.

Is not happening haphazardly. Genesis. Chapter

what? Chapter 18 verse 19. For I know him. God

was talking about Abraham now. For I know he.

That he will command his children. He will teach.

his children, and his household after him, and

they shall keep the way of the Lord. These things

come to us so that we can know how to walk with

the Lord. They will keep the way of the Lord

to do justice and judgment that the Lord will

bring upon Abraham that he has spoken of to him.

Hallelujah. These are the things that come to

establish us, that we may know how to walk with

the Lord. You know, one of the sisters, I shared

a testimony just some minutes ago when I began

sharing the testimony. Just send a message, which

I know I will share it in the next teaching.

When I have opportunity. Genesis 18, 19 says,

God was saying, I know he will do what? He will

command his children. Hallelujah. How beautiful

it is that when you find a local church such

as NECF and you know you will be taught the way

of the Lord. Exodus 19, verse 7 to 8. We serve

Exodus 19:7–8

upon precepts about teaching. Exodus 19, verse

Exodus 19:7–8

7 to 8. We will do as Moses returned the words

of the people unto the Lord. Hallelujah. In that

means, they heard the word of the Lord and proclaimed,

we will do all that the Lord requires of us.

In meetings. Exodus 24, 3 to 8. Exodus 24, 3

to 8. And Moses came and told the people all

the words of the Lord and all the judgments and

all the people answered with one voice and said,

All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will

what? We will do. Hallelujah. We know how to

walk with the Lord from teaching meetings. We

are taught how to walk with the Lord from teaching

meetings. We know the ways of the Lord through

teaching me things. And that ye may teach the

children of Israel all the statutes which the

Lord has spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

And thou shalt teach the children of Israel.

And thou shalt teach the children of Israel.

When you teach them, what will happen today?

And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eliezer,

and unto Itamar, his sons that were left, take

the meat offering, remember the offerings of

the Lord made by fire, and eat it without a living

beside the altar, for it is most holy. And from

there he began his kingdom. Deuteronomy chapter

Deuteronomy 4:10

4 verse 10. Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 10. Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 4:10 Deuteronomy 4:10

chapter 4 verse 10. Especially. Okay, yes. Especially

the day. Especially the day that thou stood before

the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said

unto thee, Gather me these people together, and

I will make them to do what? To hear my words,

that they may learn. It is with these courts

that we may learn. Hallelujah. It is with these

courts that we may learn of the Lord. that they

may learn to fear me all the days, that they

shall live upon the earth, and that they may

also teach their what? Their children. Let me

read this one chapter, and then we stop here.

When we come the next time, we're going to read

scriptures from the New Testament, and then we

build a structure for me. Hallelujah. We will

build a structure from it and we will work with

that so that we will know how to conduct ourselves.

What and what do we need when it's a teaching

meeting? What and what do we need when we are

coming to Sunday services? What and what do we

need when we are coming to midweek services?

When we are coming to self -meetings? Joshua

Joshua 8:34

chapter 8 verse 34 and we stop here. Joshua chapter

Joshua 8:34

8 verse 34 and afterwards. Read all the words

of the law, the blessings and the curses, according

to all that is written in the book of the law.

There was not a word of all that Moses commanded,

which Joshua read not before all the congregation

of Israel, with the women and all the little

ones and the strangers that were what? Unversant

among them. Let me say this and I stop here.

Teaching meetings are not for men only. Teaching

meetings are for both men and women and children.

Do you know what I said? Teaching meetings are

for everyone. Both men, both women, both children,

both old, young. See, for everyone. And say,

these ones, they are small. They are small. They

are not small. For everyone. For men, for women,

for children. Hallelujah. That we may know how

we ought to behave and conduct ourselves in those

meetings. Can't we just appreciate God? Can't

we just bless God? Because the coming days that

are ahead of us, these teachings are pivotal

for us. They are preparing us for the move of

the Holy Ghost that is coming ahead of us. Can

we just appreciate the name of the Lord? Can

we say thank you, Jesus, for revelation and knowledge?

Thank you, Jesus, for building us on this reality.

We bless you, Lord. Glory to God forevermore.

Thank you, Father, for in Jesus' name we pray.
