We wait on you for Your grace, for your anointing, for your
-
time in our life. In this place.

For we wait. We wait on you for your great,
-

While we wait, we wait on Holy Spirit.

For your. On you.

In distance for we wait, we wait on.
-
In this place for we wait, we wait on.
-
Please, I want you to sing it with understanding and an
-
expectation. The Lord is in our midst this
-
morning. What is your expectation as we
-
are talking about Pentecost week?
-
We have said that Pentecost is an experience.
-
Are you expecting to have the Pentecost experience or you have
-
come to church this morning? Who wants to experience
-
Pentecost? As we are singing, moving this
-
place, I want you to sing it with an expectation.
-
The yes. Shall we humbly resume our city
-
just. I come.
-
Oh my God. Bless.
-
Me. Oh, I come.
-
Oh my God bless me. Just as I am your presence, I
-
come. Is I all been in face?
-
Is it not your glory transforming to Christ your Son?
-
I come, Oh my God bless me. Whenever we talk about the
-
Pentecost experience, whenever we talk about the Pentecost
-
experience, it is a moment of exchange.
-
It is a moment where God takes human weakness and gives him his
-
strength. It is a moment God equips His
-
people and takes away all their shortfalls.
-
And so this morning, as we have come before the process of God
-
and we want to experience Pentecost, I want to announce to
-
you that it is the time that God takes away every weakness.
-
It is a time God takes away every chaff within us in
-
exchange of His strength and His power.
-
Your. Presence as I come with time
-
only in faces is in out your glory transforming to Christ I
-
come, Oh my God bless me, Oh I come, Oh my God bless.
-
Me, you can't. Change my life and.
-
Send my soul. You can't change my life and
-
save my soul of fire. You are the one I need cross me
-
to, nor bring me to my knees. You are my desire.
-
Cross me to see. In your eyes, bring me to your
-
broom and feed me with your merry self, when touch of you
-
can change my eyes, my soul. You can't change my life.
-
I set my soul on fire to do. Father, in the name of Jesus, I
-
want to thank you this morning. You are the reason why we are
-
here. We want to experience Pentecost.
-
We want to have an encounter with You as we open our Spirit
-
unto you. Spirit of the living God, may
-
you descend mightily and have your dwelling place in US.
-
May our lives be transformed this morning.
-
May we have an encounter with you in a special way.
-
May we live here as people who have come to have an encounter
-
with their God. May you visit us in a special
-
way in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah.
-
We want to thank God for the gift of life and for how far He
-
has brought us. As we have been already
-
informed, today marks the climax of our District Week.
-
When we talk about District Week, it is a time of where
-
prayer and offering, Amen. And at the same time, we are in
-
the Pentecost celebration, Amen. And so we met on from Tuesday
-
till Friday. How many of us were able to come
-
from Tuesday to Friday? Let me see you by hand, please.
-
Those of you able to come, be outstanding, be outstanding.
-
I want to see you. Yes, God richly bless you.
-
Please resume your seats. God richly bless you.
-
So from Tuesday to Friday we had the Word of God and today being
-
the climax of our district week, we want to share on the same
-
topic which is Pentecost is visible and audible.
-
Pentecost is visible and audible.
-
Can you please repeat after me? Pentecost is visible and audible
-
again. Pentecost is visible and
-
audible. Amen.
-
Throughout the week, the speakers made us to understand
-
what Pentecost is, and they told us the history or the background
-
of Pentecost in the Jewish contests and biblical contests.
-
But this morning, for the purpose of what I want to talk
-
about, I want to define Pentecost as the outpouring of
-
the spirits. I mean, for the purpose of what
-
I want to speak about, I want to define Pentecost as the
-
outpouring of the Spirit. So whenever we talk about
-
Pentecost, we are talking about the outpouring of the Spirit.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
Whenever we talk about Pentecost, we are talking about
-
the outpouring of the Spirit. So when we say Pentecost is an
-
experience, what it means is that it is an experience with
-
the Holy Spirit. Hello.
-
It is an encounter with the Holy Spirit.
-
And it is my prayer that as we bring our district week to a
-
close today, and even as we are in the Pentecost week, may
-
someone have an encounter with the Holy Spirit.
-
Praise the Lord. You see, you cannot have an
-
experience and be the same. You cannot have an encounter and
-
be the same. Experience brings
-
transformation, experience brings change.
-
Praise the Lord throughout the whole week.
-
The Scriptures we use as Act chapter 2 verse Act chapter 2
-
verse 32 to 33, and then we also read Matthew Chapter 11 verse
Matthew 11 chapter mention
-
four to five and then Luke chapter 4 verse 14 to 19.
-
We shall be reading them, but let us start from Jesus Christ
-
himself. If you read Scriptures.
-
In fact, before we come to Jesus, as I've already said, I
-
want us to understand the meaning of Pentecost as the
-
outpouring of the Spirit. And then in simple terms, when
-
we talk about visible, it is being able to see, being able to
-
see or able to be seen, and then audible is able to be head, able
-
to be head. And so when you look at our Lord
-
Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Bible says that He is God.
-
And then God himself decided to send him on this planet earth
-
for a purpose. And the purpose was to come and
-
redeem man from his sin. And so as we already know, Jesus
-
was born like a normal human being.
-
And then when he grew and he was about to begin his ministry,
-
when you read Matthew chapter 3, verse 16, Matthew chapter 3,
-
verse 16, as soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the
-
water and and that moment heaven was open and he saw the Spirit
-
of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
-
And a voice from heaven said, This is my son.
-
Whom? I love with him.
-
I am well pleased. This is my son whom I love with
-
him I am well pleased. But what I want you to take note
-
is that he said, and he saw the spirits of God descending like a
-
dove. We are talking about visibility.
-
And so here we see that when the Holy Ghost descended on Jesus,
-
he was visible. And then when you continue, he
-
says, and a voice from Heaven's set.
-
A voice from heaven's set. And so we are talking about
-
audible, praise the Lord. So what we are trying to put
-
across is that you cannot experience Pentecost and not be
-
visible. You cannot experience Pentecost
-
and not be audible. Hello.
-
Any person who experiences Pentecost, you become visible
-
and you become audible. Wherever you go, you are sin.
-
Wherever you go, your head about why?
-
Because of the experience. Why because of the Holy Spirit,
-
praise the Lord. And so when you continue to read
-
Matthew chapter 4, after Jesus has received the Baptist, the
Matthew 4 chapter mention
-
Holy Spirit, after Jesus had experienced the Holy Spirit,
-
after Jesus received the outpouring of the Spirit, when
-
you read Matthew chapter 4 verse one to three, it says that then
Matthew 4 chapter mention
-
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by
-
the devil. After Jesus had received the
-
outpouring of the Spirit, the first thing that happened to him
-
is that the Bible is saying that Jesus was led into the desert to
-
be tempted by the devil, to be tempted by the devil.
-
After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry.
-
The tempter came to him and said, if you are the Son of God,
-
tell these stones to become bread.
-
But what I want you to take notice here is that after Jesus
-
had received the outpouring of the spirits, after he has
-
received the Holy Ghost, the first thing that happened to him
-
is that the Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness.
-
For what? For him to be tempted by the
-
devil. So the question here is, if
-
Jesus had not received the outpouring of the Spirit and he
-
was led into the desert without the outpouring or without having
-
an experience with the Spirit, what would have happened to him?
-
Hello. So if Jesus, who is the Son of
-
God, needed to have an experience, needed to receive
-
pentacles in order to face the realities of life, how much more
-
you and I? And when you continue, Bible is
-
saying that he fasted 40 days and 40 nights.
-
Here one of the lessons I see is that the reason why Jesus was
-
able to fast for 40 days and 40 nights is as a result of the
-
power of the Holy Spirit that descended upon him.
-
And So what it means is that without the power of the Holy
-
Spirit, you cannot fast, you cannot pray.
-
And that is the reason why whenever we talk about fasting
-
and prayers, you find it. Some of us find it so difficult
-
to do it. But this morning I want to
-
encourage someone. I want to challenge someone.
-
If you want to have an experience, if you want to
-
receive pentacles, then you need to fast and pray.
-
Hello. Sometimes we come to church, we
-
are praying, and then you pray in tongues.
-
La ba, ba, ba, ba ba. I want to experience Pentecost.
-
I want to receive the baptism of the Spirit.
-
Yet when it is time to fast and pray, you don't fast, you don't
-
pray. You are not serious, you are not
-
serious, you are not serious. Amen.
-
Amen. If I tell your neighbor you
-
cannot experience Pentecost without fasting and prayer, tell
-
him someone is not saying it to please say it again.
-
You cannot experience Pentecost without fasting and prayer.
-
And so if you are not fasting and you are not praying and then
-
you think you are experiencing Pentecost, then you are
-
deceiving yourself. Amen.
-
Amen. And so while you continue to
-
revival, you see that as a result of the outpouring of the
-
Spirit, Jesus was able to overcome the devil.
-
And so without Pentecost, you cannot overcome the devil.
-
And it is one of the reasons why as a believer, you cannot do
-
away with Pentecost. And it is the reason why as a
-
serious believer, you need to desire, you need to desire
-
Pentecost. And any person who desire
-
Pentecost, whatever it will take you for you to have this
-
experience, you will do it. And that is why if you need to
-
fast and pray, you fast and pray.
-
If you need to put your phone aside for a period of time and
-
have an experience, have an encounter with God, you will do
-
it. Praise the Lord this morning I
-
want to have an encounter with the Holy Spirit.
-
I want to experience pentacles. What about you and survival is
-
saying that after Jesus had received the outpouring of the
-
Spirit and then he over, he was able to defeat the devil and he
-
began his ministry. Because of time I will not talk
-
about everything, but when he was able to defeat the devil and
-
then he began his ministry, you could see that wherever Jesus
-
went, Jesus was visible. Wherever Jesus went, Jesus was
-
audible. If we say Jesus was visible
-
wherever he went, people saw him.
-
Wherever he went, people heard about him.
-
And then the Bible recalls the first miracle Jesus did.
-
Jesus went to a marriage ceremony and then there was a
-
shortage of drink. And then Bible is saying that
-
the mother of Jesus told, informed Jesus about what has
-
happened. And then Jesus and the mother of
-
Jesus told the servant, whatever he will tell you, do it.
-
And then you all know what's happened.
-
You all know what's happened. So what it means is that
-
whenever and you don't want that miracle took place, the Bible
-
says that their dignitaries were all asking, where is this string
-
coming from? The Bible recalls a lot of
-
miracles, signs and wonders that Jesus performed.
-
And wherever Jesus went, Bible is saying that people heard
-
about him, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
-
So what we are communicating this morning is that when you
-
experience spectacles, wherever you go, wherever I go, I will be
-
seen, I will be heard about. Praise the Lord.
-
And it is our prayer that as we are waiting upon the Lord and
-
praying at the end of the Pentecost week, may you be
-
visible, may you be audible where people speak and is they
-
are not considered when you speak, people will listen to you
-
because of Pentecost. Amen.
-
Amen. And so when you read, as a
-
result of the Holy Spirit baptism that came upon Jesus, he
-
was able to do a lot of miracle science and wonders.
-
He was able to resurrect Lazarus.
-
He was able to speak to the stop.
-
He was able to heal the blind. He was able to to heal the woman
-
who bled for 12 years. Jesus did a lot of miracles.
-
Amen. So whenever you have an
-
experience with the Holy Ghost, science and wonders will follow
-
you, and wherever you go you will be heard about and you will
-
be seen. And then when you continue
-
reading, Bible is saying that when Jesus was doing ministry,
-
he called some men unto himself, which are the disciples.
-
And all these things that Jesus was doing, the disciples were
-
witnesses to it. The disciples saw how Jesus was
-
able to heal the sick. The disciples saw how Jesus was
-
able to resurrect the dead. The disciples saw the sights and
-
wonders that Jesus did. They were with him.
-
Praise the Lord. Oh, I said praise the Lord.
-
But when you read Matthew chapter 17 verse 14 to 20,
-
Matthew chapter 17 verse 14 to 20, when they came to the crowd,
-
a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
-
Lord, have mercy on my Son. He said He has seizures and is
-
suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or
-
into the water. I brought him to your disciples,
-
but they could not heal him, you unbelieving and perverse
-
generation. Jesus replied.
-
How long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with
-
you? Bring the boy here to me.
-
Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was
-
healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus
-
in private and asked, why couldn't we drive it out?
-
He replied, because you have so little faith.
-
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as the master
-
seat, you can say to this mountain, move from here today
-
and it will move and it will move.
-
Nothing will be impossible for you see the disciples of Christ
-
who were being, they were not able to perform their sights and
-
wonders that their master was doing, and that as we read and
-
you heard, they went to him in secrets, and they asked him why.
-
And Jesus said it is because of unbelief.
-
Now this is what I want us to consider.
-
Jesus is saying that it is out of unbelief, but Jesus, who is
-
the Son of God, was able to heal.
-
Why was Jesus able to heal? Because Jesus believed in his
-
Father. Jesus believed in his Father.
-
Why was Jesus able to heal? Because Jesus was full of the
-
Holy Spirit. Hello.
-
And so one of the, how do we call it, one of the deductions
-
we can make from this is that without the Holy Spirit you are
-
full of unbelief. Do you agree with me?
-
Without Pentecost, you are full of unbelief.
-
Without Pentecost, without the outpouring of the Spirit, you
-
are full of unbelief. And whenever you are full of
-
unbelief, you cannot be visible and you cannot be audible as our
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord.
-
And so even though they were with Him, even though they
-
walked with Him, even though you are in the church, even though
-
you come to church, it does not mean that that is the end.
-
You can be in the church. You can't walk with him.
-
But until you have an experience with the Holy Spirit, until you
-
receive the outpouring of the Spirit, until you receive
-
Pentecost, you'll be full of unbelief.
-
And when we are full of unbelief, praise the Lord.
-
When we are full of unbelief, when you are full of unbelief,
-
you can never please the Lord. Amen.
-
And then when you continue reading, one of the disciples of
-
Christ, that is Peter Bible says he was very close to Peter Jesus
-
because of time. Maybe I will give you the
-
scriptures you read later. Matthew chapter 26 verse 69 to
-
75, Mark chapter 146066 to 72, Luke chapter 22 verse 54 to 62,
-
and John chapter 18 verse 15 to 20.
-
Peter, who was so close to Jesus when Jesus had worked with them.
-
And then Peter saw the signs and wonders that Jesus did.
-
And then Jesus was trying to tell them about what was to
-
happen to him, that he was going to be killed.
-
And then Peter in response was trying to stop Jesus, defend
-
Jesus. In fact, Jesus went to the
-
extent of telling Peter that you, Peter, you shall deny me.
-
You, Peter, you shall deny me. And to cut the whole story
-
short, whatever the Lord Jesus told Peter came to pass
-
ordinarily because Jesus informed him he could.
-
He could have watched. He could have seen to end that.
-
He could have made an intentional effort to stop it
-
from happening. But it happened.
-
Do you know why? Because he did not have what it
-
takes to stop it. Praise the Lord, praise the
-
Lord. And so here we see Jesus, who is
-
full of the Holy Ghost, walking with his disciples who have not
-
received Pentecost. We see Jesus who have received
-
Pentecost, walking with the disciples who have not received
-
Pentecost. And so we see here the doings,
-
the acts of the one or someone who has received Pentecost and
-
someone who has not received Pentecost.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
And so when all that the Lord Jesus Christ has said to the
-
disciples have come to pass, and then he has assured them of the
-
promise Holy Spirit that can be found in Acts chapter 2.
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
The Bible is saying that when Jesus was crucified and buried
-
and then his disciples decided to go and wait after his
-
resurrection, something happened.
-
When you read Please Project Act chapter 2 verse for me Act
-
chapter 2 one that was when you read the Bible is saying that
-
when the day of Pentecost came they were all together in one
-
place. Can we read together the first
-
one ready go Amen. They were all together in one
-
place. Why were they all together in
-
one place? They had an expectation.
-
Why were they all together in one place?
-
They were. Obeying the commandment of the
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Why were they together?
-
Peter could have said that, oh, you go, I will be in the house
-
with my wife and wait. James could have said, oh, you
-
go, I'll be somewhere and wait. But the Bible is saying that
-
they were. All.
-
Together, in one place. Amen.
-
So those of you, when it is time for us to come and meet before
-
God, and then you stay in the house, what it means is that you
-
are not serious. Tell him you are not serious.
-
Amen. They had an expectation.
-
The Lord Jesus had told them to wait, and so they were all
-
together in one place. They could have given excuses.
-
I am not feeling well, so you go.
-
But the Bible is saying that they were all together in one
-
place. So one of the lessons we can
-
learn here is that without obedience you cannot receive
-
Pentecost. Hello.
-
Without obedience, you cannot receive Pentecost.
-
Just as we have declared the Pentecost week as a time of
-
fasting and prayer. As a serious member of the
-
church, we say as a serious member, I'm talking about a
-
serious member. We have declared the church has
-
declared Pentecost week a time of fasting and prayer.
-
And then when you wake up, the first thing you think about is
-
kinky is fufu. Are you serious?
-
Hello. The Bible is saying that they
-
were all together in one place, so you could see that they were
-
united. So as a church, when we say we
-
are fasting and praying, we need to come together as a group,
-
fast and pray, fast and pray. May the Lord help us.
-
If I should ask, now, since we started a Pentecost week, how
-
many of us have been able to fast?
-
There will be social here. There will be social here.
-
But you see, one thing I want you to understand is that
-
without obedience you cannot receive Pentecost.
-
Without obedience, you cannot receive Pentecost.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
And so Bible, let's let's move on with the reading, please.
-
Suddenly a sound like the blue wind of a Violet wind came from
-
heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
-
So to cut the very the story short, as a result of their
-
obedience, as a result of their unity, the promised Holy Spirit
-
was released upon them. Amen.
-
Amen. So this morning I want you to
-
understand as a child of God that without obedience you
-
cannot receive pentacles. And so we need to stop deceiving
-
ourselves. We need to stop deceiving
-
ourselves. Whenever you disobey the
-
commandment of God, the voice of God, the Bible, the Scriptures,
-
and in fact the guidance, the instruction of leadership, you
-
cannot experience pentacles. So those of you who are refusing
-
to fast and who are refusing to pray, who are refusing to come
-
to church, not because of work by you are in the house watching
-
TV, You are in the house doing. Doing what?
-
I'm not talking about those who are engaged in their work.
-
If you are busy working, it is part of service to God.
-
I don't have any problem with that.
-
But there are some of us, we are not doing anything.
-
Sitting on social media, being on the phone, talking to your
-
girlfriend, your boyfriend, throughout the time that you
-
must come and have fellowship with God.
-
And you, the same person, you 2 you say you want to have
-
Pentecost and then another person who decides to do away
-
with all what social media, do away with whatever.
-
And then come to the the two of you who is serious and the two
-
of you who will have the experience.
-
It is my prayer that we shall have an experience with the Holy
-
Spirit. Amen.
-
Amen. And when you continue reading,
-
you could see that after these disciples have received the Holy
-
Spirit, something happened. Something happened.
-
Peter who was full of fear, in fact, when Jesus was arrested
-
and he denied him and then they wanted to arrest him and then he
-
he swore an oath that he did not know Jesus because he was afraid
-
he could lose his life. He was afraid they will kill him
-
as a result of he being a disciple of Christ.
-
After Peter and the other disciples received the Holy
-
Spirit, after they encountered pentacles, what happened?
-
The Bible is saying that they began to preach the good news.
-
They declared the good news to the extent that they were able
-
to win 3000 souls. And the Bible is saying that the
-
3000 shows it's recorded is for only men.
-
What about women and children? And the Bible is saying that
-
when Peter was asked, Peter who was afraid for his life when he
-
was someone and then he was asked by what authority are you
-
able to do these sides and wonders?
-
Peter was able to stand boldly, someone who was afraid for his
-
life, someone who wanted to keep his life to himself.
-
After he has received the power of the Holy Ghost, he was able
-
to stand and then answer, declare this same Jesus whom you
-
crucified. Is that Peter?
-
The Fiero? Is that Peter?
-
What has happened? Hello.
-
When you receive Pentecost, great transformation comes upon
-
you. When you receive Pentecost, you
-
live no longer for yourself. And so Peter careless whether
-
they will kill him or not, he never thought to protect his
-
life again. So what it means is that if you
-
don't receive Pentecost, you keep your life to yourself.
-
You protect your life. Hello.
-
As for those of you who are afraid of death and all the time
-
you are protecting your life, it is my prayer that you receive
-
Pentecost. When you receive Pentecost, you
-
know that if I leave, I leave for Christ, and if I die, I die
-
for Christ. And so in every situation and in
-
every circumstances, you defend the faith, praise the Lord.
-
And so when you continue reading the Bible is saying that Peter
-
and John, when they were going to the temple and then they saw
-
a cripple, and the cripple was expecting that they would give
-
him money. And then their response to the
-
cripple was that silver and gold we do not have.
-
But what we have is what we give on to you in the name of the
-
Lord Jesus. Rise up and walk.
-
What happened? And So what it means is that
-
when you receive Pentecost, when you receive Pentecost, sighs and
-
wonders will follow you. And Bible is saying that when
-
the crippled, what the whole community came around, what has
-
happened, this crippled who has been here for so many years,
-
what has happened? And so when we say Pentecost is
-
visible, what it means is that when you experience Pentecost,
-
wherever you go, your presence will be announced.
-
Hello. Wherever you go, people will
-
hear about you. And so when God or Peter and
-
John heal this, a crippled man, instead of them, instead of the
-
leaders in the church to be happy, the Bible says that they
-
summon, they summon Peter and John, they summon him, they
-
summon him. And these same people who wanted
-
or who asked whether he was one of his disciples, and he said
-
no, this time when they asked him, he was able to stand on his
-
feet. Hello, hello.
-
It is my prayer. It is my prayer that we shall
-
experience pentacles. You see, when you experience
-
pentacles, you become exceptional.
-
When you experience pentacles, wherever you go, your presence
-
will be announced and you see what you are you.
-
You experience pentacles at times.
-
Hello. Those who have not experienced
-
Pentecost will become will become what?
-
Oh, give me the weight, everything.
-
Are you the only person who is able to do instead of you, to
-
pray that you shall also receive, you shall also have the
-
Pentecost experience. Then you begin to criticize.
-
And let me take the opportunity to say this, Those of you who
-
belong to the Church of God, those of you belong to the
-
Church of God. And every time you criticize the
-
Church of God, when I said the Church of God, I'm not limiting
-
it to only Pentecost, but the universal church, you criticize
-
the man of God, you criticize your leaders.
-
It's because you have not experienced Pentecost.
-
You cannot experience Pentecost and be an agent fighting against
-
the church. Hello.
-
And it is one of the IT is one of the reasons why some of us,
-
we are not able to see the glory of God or Cassetia are soaring.
-
People or Cassetia are soaring. Are you against or you are in?
-
I am saying this because some of you do it or knowingly.
-
But this morning I have I have been sent to come in from you.
-
If you are one of them repents, If you are one of them repents,
-
look at what is going on on the social media now and some of
-
some people who are so who are, who call themselves Christians,
-
they hide their identity and they, they, they, may the Lord
-
help us. So this morning what we are
-
saying is that Pentecost is visible and Pentecost is audible
-
and we are praying that we shall experience pentacles.
-
How can you experience pentacles?
-
How can you experience pentacles?
-
You can experience pentacles through prayer and fasting.
-
You can experience pentacles through prayer and fasting.
-
You can experience pentacles through prayer and fasting.
-
You can experience pentacles through the reading of the Word
-
of God. You are here this morning.
-
You are not ready to pray. You are not ready to fast.
-
You are not ready to read the Bible yet.
-
You want to experience pentacles.
-
Yes, you speak in tongues, but you are deceiving yourself.
-
You are deceiving yourself even as we are within the church.
-
When you see someone, you know who is who.
-
Hello. When someone whenever he stands
-
and he's doing something, you see that everything about him is
-
exceptional. Someone whenever he gets to a
-
location, he is seen. He's heard about someone to obey
-
on a date. So when you are the type, you
-
who die and someone can die, what you should desire is that
-
Oh Lord, make me, make me. Do you understand?
-
Oh Lord, make me. Instead of criticizing, instead
-
of criticizing, say, Oh Lord, make me.
-
But at times we make mistake and then we criticize the one who
-
has experienced Pentecost, and as a result of that he has
-
become audible and visible. We do not forget that that
-
person is walking, is living under the influence of the Holy
-
Ghost. So you whenever you decide to
-
criticize, to speak against that person, you are speaking against
-
the Holy Ghost. Hello.
-
And what does the Bible say whenever one speaks against the
-
Holy Ghost? Hello, what does the Bible say?
-
And so when God gives you his promise, that English assembly,
-
I have made you great people, I have made you whatever English
-
assembly, the land on which you are living on.
-
It is a land of gold, it is a land of silver, all for you.
-
And you are no receiving all these things.
-
Then, then may the Lord help us. May the Lord help us.
-
And so this morning as I am bringing my sermon to a close, I
-
just want to challenge someone this morning as we are waiting
-
upon the Lord, let me add this. Let me add this.
-
Then you read Bible is saying that after the disciples
-
received the Holy Spirit, that is when the church was bathed.
-
That is when the church was bathed and then it got to a
-
point that the church, the congregation was asked to go and
-
sell their properties and come and help the wake of God, the
-
church and come and support the wake of God.
-
And then the Bible recalls that there was a man by name, Ananias
-
and Sapphira. I am bringing this part because
-
this morning we are going to take a special offering.
-
And those of you always talk about talk against offering in
-
the church you to repent. I said repent if I don't have my
-
prayer will be oh Lord, give me so that I can support.
-
But because you don't have it doesn't give you the authority
-
to speak against the blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of the Lord
-
Jesus on the cross. How much money can you offer to
-
pay for it? What can you do that will be
-
enough for you to pay? In fact the breath of life that
-
you have since you were born day one till today.
-
If, if, if you should be built, if you should be built from the
-
day you were born up to today. Enoch can say now with you when
-
you pay, praise the Lord, but the Lord gives us.
-
Free, free. In fact, what do you have that
-
you did not receive? The life that you have?
-
Who gave it to you? As to whether tomorrow you will
-
be alive or not, All is dependent on God.
-
You could see that someone is very sick.
-
Someone is very sick and this person, if he should die and
-
come fast also and then someone is very strong, that you could
-
see that this person has a very bright future.
-
By the wisdom of God, at times he would decide to take the
-
younger one who has a bright future and leave the one who is
-
sick. How?
-
What criteria does God use? And so you, he, by the grace of
-
God, he, by the grace of God, God gives you life.
-
And then by the grace of God, he gives you wealth.
-
He gives you wealth. You need to appreciate it.
-
Hello. What do you have that you did
-
not receive? In fact, some people are even
-
better than us, some people are more qualified than us.
-
Yet the grace of God, the mercies of God, finds us, locate
-
us, and then considers us. And so when you recognize all
-
these things and it is time to give, you will not talk anyhow.
-
And I want to believe that those who always talk, anyhow, it is
-
because they have not experienced Pentecost.
-
Do you agree with me? You cannot experience Pentecost
-
and be against offering to the Lord.
-
In fact, when you experience Pentecost, the first thing is
-
that your life, your life belongs to God.
-
So if your life belongs to God, everything you have belongs to
-
God. Man and survival, you saying
-
that Ananias and Sapphira, they decided to do otherwise, they
-
decided to disobey. And then when Ananias came and
-
then Peter asked him is that all the revenue you received?
-
Ananias said yes, and the Bible says that when he lied Peter
-
said why do you lie against the Holy Spirit?
-
But where was the Holy Spirit? Was Ananias speaking to Peter or
-
was he speaking to the Holy Spirit?
-
So what it means is that any person who experiences
-
pentacles, it is no more about you, but it is about the Holy
-
Spirit. Hello.
-
So even though Ananias was speaking to Peter, he was
-
speaking to the Holy Spirit, and then what happened to him?
-
The Bible says that he died instantly.
-
Now the question here is that why were they interested in the
-
how should I put it? Why were they interested in
-
Ananias? What money?
-
Hello. The property belongs to Ananias
-
and the wife, or so they can choose.
-
They can decide to do whatever they want to do with it.
-
And so if they have sold it and then they decide to bring part
-
of the money and then they come to lie at the end of the day.
-
Is there money while the Bible is saying that he was striking
-
by death. So what it means is that God is
-
interested in our resources. Hello, please tell your neighbor
-
God is interested in your resources.
-
So those of you who always say it is my money, I can do
-
whatever I want to do with it, it is my money.
-
And they beat their chests, it is my money, it is my money.
-
Praise the Lord. It is my prayer that we who have
-
gathered here, we who have met here, we will not behave like
-
Ananias and Zephira. And Survivor is saying that when
-
Zephira also came and then she was asked and she also confirmed
-
what the husbands said, they told her they just bury.
-
They just went to bury your husband.
-
Those who went are coming. And then she also died.
-
I have my money I'm not ready to give.
-
Why should I die? I was here for Whatever you have
-
is not for you. But you will be able to know
-
this when you experience Pentecost.
-
And so one of the lessons we can also learn here is that even
-
though Ananias and Savira were in the church, they did not
-
experience Pentecost and that is why they came to lie.
-
Hello. And so those of us who are in
-
the church who always lie, one pastor said they lie like they
-
are briefing. When you do that, you haven't
-
experienced Pentecost. Pentecost is an experience.
-
Pentecost is the outpouring of the Spirit of God.
-
Pentecost brings transformation. Pentecost brings life.
-
Pentecost brings resurrection. Pentecost brings fruitfulness.
-
Pentecost is able to defeat the works of the devil.
-
And that is what Pentecost is all about.
-
And it is my prayer that as we bring our districts, we to a
-
close, you and I who experience Pentecost in another dimension,
-
Amen. Shall we humbly be on our feet?
-
Holy awesome, run your part. I shall follow.
-
Service in the Holy Ghost and the Church of Jesus proved am I
-
tea on that Church of Jesus claim your.
-
Reverses thy promise. This shall be our please.
-

-

-
We will leave and tide leave for eaten our things. 00 Jesus cling

-
Sing or shall now I. Want you to bow down your head
-
and meditate upon the word you have heard this morning.
-
Pentecost is visible and audible.
-
Any person who receives any person who experiences Pentecost
-
must be visible and audible. Are you visible?
-
Are you audible? Do you walk under the influence
-
of the Holy Spirit? Are you obedient to the leading
-
of the spirits this morning? I just want you to pat down your
-
head and meditate upon the Word of God you have had.
-
When you experience Pentecost, you must be visible.
-
Visible in a positive way, You must be audible.
-
Audible in a possible way, Influencing society, Have an
-
impact on society, changing our world.
-
What is your status? What is your status?
-
What is your status? Are you just part of the church
-
or are you, what are you among those who have experienced
-
pentacles? Just meditate upon the Word of
-
God this morning. Just meditate upon the Word of
-

-
We are in the presence of God. God, we may think that we are on
-
the righteous path, but in the sight of God we are wayward.
-
So if there is something you and I need to do, we need to open up
-
onto the Spirit so that they all know in spirit will have an
-
encounter with us. And so please open up and have
-
an encounter with him. Let him deal with you personally
-
so that by the end of this service, you and I shall live
-
here as transformed people. Break.

-

-

-

-
Oh, I pray, pray, believe me. This morning the Lord wants to
-
bless you, but He needs to deal with you.
-
He needs to deal with every weakness within you.
-
He needs to deal with every child within you.
-
And this morning you need to admit, I need to admit that's
-
the Lord needs to break me. And so this morning, open up
-
unto him. Break me Lord, melt me, Lord,
-
mold me Lord, and fill me. Shall you open your mouth and
-

-
just as we are, and we cry on you.
-
Spirit of the living God, may you break us in the name of
-

-
may you break it in the name of Jesus.

infilling of the Spirit, we want to ask the Spirit of God to deal

with our weaknesses. If we are full of chaff, if
-
other weaknesses are still there, the Spirit of God can
-
never dwell within us. And so as we are praying, asking
-
the Holy Spirit to deal with our weaknesses, you know our
-
weaknesses. Just cry unto Him and He will
-
deal with every situation. Speedy, divine, Oh my God,
-
terrified to die. Beauty of Jesus, we see he.

Spirit to revive us. This morning.

When the Holy Spirit revives us, we shall know the ways of the

Lord. When the Holy Spirit revives us,
-
we shall know the will of the Lord.

I. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Yeah, yeah. If you can, I want you to put
-
your two hands on your chest. To my heart, Lord Jesus.
-
When you experience Pentecosts, you shall love the Lord.
-
When you experience Pentecost, your love for the things of God
-
will be so great. And so whenever your love for
-
the things of God is going down, which means there is something
-
wrong. But this morning as we have come
-
to the presence of God, and God through His messes has poured
-
his Spirit on us, He is pouring his love within us, that we
-
shall love the Lord the God, the Lord our God, with all our
-
strengths and with all our minds coming today.
-
When it is time for the believer to come before his makeup and
-
his favorite team is playing football match, the believer who
-
is full of love for God will choose to come before God and to
-
go and watch football match. This morning.
-
What do you love more than God? The Bible says anything you love
-
more than God becomes your God and when you find yourself in
-
this situation, it means you are into idolatry.
-
But this morning as the Spirit of God is in our miss and he's
-
working within us. He's working within our hearts
-
open up to him. There are some of us we love
-
money. Whenever we hear about money, we
-
will leave everything. We will leave everything and run
-
after money. Some of us we are into drinking
-
alcohol. Some of us soccer batting even
-
in the church was in church. He is he is he will be using his
-
phone for soccer betting. Some of us are into humanizing.
-
Some of us are into gossiping. Some of us are into many other
-
things, masturbation and other things you know of.
-
But this morning I want you to love the Lord.
-
I want you to call him, invite him.
-
The Bible says that he is standing at the back of your
-
your heart and he is knocking and he said that any person who
-
open he will come in and leave and dwell with him coming today.
-
Now begin to invite him. Call on him.
-
Invite him to come and dwell within you, to come and stay in
-
your hearts. Invite him, the rival says.
-
He is just at the back of your hearts, knocking, knocking,
-
knocking and any person who will open, He will come and dwell
-
with you. We open our heart on to you,
-

-
We pray, O Lord, committing ourselves into Thy hands, even
-
as we have come because of You, even as we have had Your weight,
-
and even as we have cried unto You.
-
We want to thank You for Your grace that You have bestowed
-
upon us. We want to thank You for pouring
-
Your Spirit upon us. We want to thank You for taking

that you shall continue to help us to work under your authority,
-
under your influence, under your leadership.
-
May your name be praise even as we talk about Pentecost and even
-
as we have have an encounter with you.
-
Lord Messiahs and wonders, follow us.
-
May everywhere we go, may we be visible, may we be audible, May
-
we announce your presence. May we cause people to hear
-
about you wherever we go, so that your name will be glorified
-
even as we pray if there is any soul here.
-
That is sick because of your process.
-
May you consume every sickness. May you consume every problem.
-
May you consume every challenge. May you consume everybody.
-
And let your transformative power rule and reign within us.
-
May we see it with our eyes. May we hear it so that your name
-
will be glorified. Thank you for your answer.
-
A prayer answering God. And even as we have prayed in
-
the name of Jesus, and because you are faithful, we know you
-
have done it. May your name be praised now and
-
forever. Amen.
-
Let's give a clap off and unto Jesus.
-
Let's clap on to Jesus. And we all believe that the
-
Spirit of God has descended unto us and we have been filled.
-
So we have to go out and propagate the word of God.
-
That is all. Say a big Amen.
-
What shall we say to our presiding other this morning?
-
God will she bless you for allowing yourself.
