God richly bless you.

And you say.

Welcome to Logos Rima R with God's servant, Rev.

Dr.

Joseph Baalbin, Head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Kumasi. And now,

to today's message.

Amen.

Let's take our confession from Joshua 1 verse 8, this

Joshua 1:8

book of the Lord. shall not depart out of my mouth,

but I shall meditate in it day and night, and

I may observe to do according to all that is

written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

and then I will have good success.

Amen.

Why don't you take your seats in this presence and say, Hallelujah.

And so, as I said, it's a month of giving.

We've been talking about order in giving.

Amen.

We've been looking at the pathway to accessing divine wealth. Amen.

And throughout the month, God has taught us a lot

of things. We went to Deuteronomy chapter 8 and I

Deuteronomy 8 · chapter mention

hope that we can just run through the rest of

the lessons that we can pick from there. But verse 1,

some of the key principles we learned is the fact

that God wants us, if we are going to be

able to understand and bring order into our given life,

we will need to know, be acquainted with, and begin

to practice the truth in the whole commandment. He said,

every commandment that I give you today, hallelujah, you will

be careful to do. And so we said, you have

to live and walk in obedience. And it is based

on our obedience. Number one, knowing. A lot of us

do a lot and commit a lot of things in

the church simply because we don't know. We don't know. Amen.

That is why it's important to know. Because when you know,

then you'll be under obligation and responsibility. Amen. So the

teaching ministry, once again, the logos. And then out of

the logos springs out The reamer of God's word. Because

we hear, we discern the voice of God. And when

God is speaking in the prophetic utterances, you know. And

when you see fetishism, it doesn't matter that the canopy

under which it's being practiced is called a church. It

doesn't matter what church, what name, what name. When you

see fetishism, you know. Because why? You know the truth.

The one and only true God. Amen. The word of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen.

And once you hear it too, the other thing about

the Word of God is that when you are not

practicing it, it has a deleterious effect, a negative feedback.

You're not going to grow. And that's why you resort

to shortcuts. There's no shortcut in the kingdom, don't we?

You have to know the Word and you have to

live by the Word. You have to obey the Word.

And guess what? Immediately you make your mind up. I'm

going to be the Holy Spirit who will listen, who

will help you, who will strengthen you, who will encourage you,

who will empower you. Hallelujah. And will give you the

necessary positive big feedback that you are pleasing the Lord.

When you are walking in the councils of the Lord,

you will be blessed. You will be rewarded by God.

And he'll keep on edging you on. Go, go, go, go. Hallelujah.

So he said, be careful to do, live in obedience.

And then the third point is that you may live

and multiply. It lies in the hands of God to

increase and to multiply. Right from the foundations of the earth,

we see Adam before his dad, God, the almighty God.

God pronouncing a blessing upon him before he sent him

out to the garden of Eden. To begin his life's assignment.

The Bible says, he said, and God blessed Adam and Eve.

And said, be fruitful. Multiply. Increase. Replenish the earth. Subdue.

And it still holds. Every child of God that he received,

he blesses. Even before we kick started, there's a blessing

on you. And what are you? You will increase. You

will increase. You will live and multiply. and not die.

He warned him, on the day you disobey my commandments,

you will die. You are not living by the truth.

You see, truth is progressive. So you, some things you

don't know, but today, when I'm teaching it and you

get to know, now God is going to hold you responsible.

That's how it works. Before then, you were a prophet

hopping all over the place, chasing prophets, taking concoctions all

over the place, sprinkling things in your wardrobe, sprinkling things

in your food, sprinkling things in your water.

But today you are hearing me. You didn't know.

He said the times of ignorance in winter. But now,

when you go and take that concoction out of your

chop box, you still have chop box. Hallelujah. Or is

it portmanteau? Or wardrobe? Go and remove it.

Go and throw it away.

And throw it away. When I used to fall sick,

fall sick, fall sick, fall sick, and my sportsmen brothers,

you know, they went, they said, we know some herbalists

in town, in Kumasi town, so they went and brought

me a concoction, you know, concoction of herbs and sugar

cane and all kinds of things, and they said, boil it.

The herbalist said, boil it. You know, I was desperate,

so I.

Boiled it and said, drink. Hey, hey, hey. And I

drank it and immediately when I closed my eyes, I

saw myself in Mecca. I've not been in Mecca before,

but I knew it was Mecca. That's the only description

I can. I was in Mecca. And then I started preaching.

I said, hey, this boy. And then I started praying, God,

I can't sleep. I'm transported to Mecca. And I was scared.

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every day, frying pan, fire,

frying pan, fire. I still remember, I was still wondering.

So I went, I went behind the bathroom, underneath the balcony,

and I was pacing up and down. And God said,

go and throw it away!

Go and throw it away!

And I knew it was the concoction. I was desperate.

I wanted healing. So I went back to my balcony.

Look at the concoction. So I went away and I

just rushed to the concoction. Amen. That you may live

and multiply. You will increase. God will increase you. He

will increase you. And he will increase your storage of wealth.

He will increase you. God is a good God. Benevolent.

He owns all the world.

Hallelujah. But then as we said, the fourth point is

that go in and possess the land.

Every blessing that you're.

Going to come into, God is going to ask and

demand a certain action. You connect with that and then boom.

That's why you need to know the word. You need

to know the voice of God and discern the voice

of the Holy Spirit. So you can receive divine instructions.

And not like me, going around all the place, chasing

after malams and prophets and all those things there. Taking

you on a merry-go-round. No. And God, I remember, God said, Stay! Stay!

Running from one prophetic kill to the other for healing.

Nothing happened. God said, Lazy boy.

Lazy boy.

Raise up and pray!

Lay down to pray! He trains our hands for war.

Leaves us into battle. After going round and round, I said,

I have to pray. I have to pray. And any

time I go to the stadium to pray, immediately I

get there. I knew, I knew that I was welcomed. Immediately,

the energies of the Lord, the staying up, through signs, groanings,

and cries, God, hear my cry. So you know it's

not you. The whole Christian life is not you. It's

the Spirit of God. You just healed. That's the secret.

So I'll be there. I'll be there. Maybe like 10

after 4 and I'm praying. I'm going to classes at 7. 7.15.

I pray because the energy is there to pray and

to pray and to break through.

We are lazy.

We are lazy. We are not praying. We are not praying.

When we see you, we know you are. When you

are not praying, we see you, we know. Prayerlessness is

written on your forehead. If only you knew.

Wipe it off! Why do you wipe yourself? Start praying.

Not praying, not praying. Hallelujah. God trains our hands for war.

He's got the commandment to go in and possess the land.

If God is not with you, you can't. It was intimidating.

Look at Jericho. The walls, the intimidating walls. It was insurmountable.

Now we look at the life of Joshua. And he

knew he was a prayer warrior. He was brave. He

was courageous. Long before the church service, the doors opened,

he would be here praying. You are praying.

As if your life depends on it.

And indeed, your spiritual life depends on those conversations with God. Hey,

we are prayed, oh.

We are prayed.

I was telling the brothers and sisters on campus. I

was driving through on the course of the week. Through

the Mango Road. And do something. As I was driving through.

And I said, ah, ah, ah. Long before... It was

one of my prayer routes. In the evening prayer route.

And then I would just descend. Maybe around 4 or something.

In any case, there was no traffic on campus. Nobody drives.

So I would just pass that route. It was one

of my evening routes for prayer. And as I was driving,

God said, Oh boy, do you remember? Do you remember?

All the cries and petitions you put before me. And

I just said, Eeeh.

God has answered all. God is a prayer answering God. No,

can't tell any as I've done it. God will answer.

I say, yay. I used to pray everywhere, God. And

I said, God, you are faithful. You are faithful. You

are faithful. We have to pray as a church.

We must pray.

The prayer, the clarion call for prayer. It should be

an excitement. We are going to talk to God. And

he will hear us. And he will answer us with

terrible signs and wonders.

It should bring excitement.

Because we invite a power that is greater than every power.

Bring it.

Juju power, whatever.

No power. In the name of Jesus.

In the name of the nation. Every knee shall bow.

And no matter what chains that you find yourself in,

they will be broken. In Jesus' name. Because when I

go for the prophetic, nothing. They will pray. They were

breaking my ribs.

Nothing will happen. God said, you are a lazy boy.

Pray. So I started praying. He was helping me, training

my hands for war. Some of you, you need to

break through before you can get married. Say amen. You

think that we are talking about, oh my God. And

God will begin to reveal things to you that you

need to.

Deal with in prayer.

And call on God. Your business is not working because

you are not praying. There is that specific thing that

you need. And we are talking about holistic wealth or prosperity, fruitfulness.

So we are not limiting ourselves to just money. You

are not happy. You are not happy. Because some blessings

that you think that you need, they are not coming. Pray! Pray!

So he said, go in and possess. Occupy by force.

By force. By force.

Go!

Go!

I'm going to get married.

Go!

I'm going to be prosperous. Go! I will live and

not die. Go! You can't arrange some nasty accident for me.

No!

When I sit in this, I say I'm going to

Tamale and come back in peace and not in pieces.

Say amen.

You make those declarations in the place of prayer.

You know, you know, you know, you know thy rod

and thy staff comfort.

And even though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I fear no evil. You go in

and possess.

Hey, he said you will live and you start this business.

He said the business will prosper because God is in it. Leave.

Go in and possess.

Possess. He said, you shall possess the gates of your enemies.

You possess it. Force. So every time you are praying,

when they don't declare, should I use the word consistent

prayer and fasting life?

It's like Bubra.

Anytime you wake up and then you feel like today

I'm going on a fast. And I'm going, then I'm going,

I'm going. That's how God trains our hands for war.

When you are being trained for war, go and ask

the military. Sometimes they will say, even when they say

they are serving food, they have served the food, and

then you are about to eat, and.

They say, stop!

Stop!

Follow!

He says you have to.

Leave the food.

He says, ahoy, ahoy. Stop! Military, stop! Stop! Today I'll

have a buffet breakfast such as my stone lather. Stop. Stop.

Stop.

You. It's you or you.

Everybody is eating.

But you. You.

You.

From the surveillance that is going on.

You.

You.

It's not the time for feasting. Let them eat.

But you. You. Go in and possess. All your relationships

are broken down. Immediately that he says that you are married,

that night, you are, rise up! Talking about these things,

you think it is. So go in and possess the land.

And the last point we learned, he said, Lord, soar.

He said, God has put an oath. I swear.

I'll bless you. That's God.

That's what he told Abraham.

I swear.

I will bless you and your offspring.

I swear. The Bible commentary says that what? He said,

God bound himself with an oath. That's you and I.

God is on oath. This boy, this man, you.

I swear.

I swear. I will swear, I swear, no weapon of

the enemy that is fashioned against your life shall prosper.

And every tongue that lifts itself up against it shall

not prosper. He says this is the heritage of the

children of the Lord and the righteousness is for.

You.

So God will bless us. Hallelujah. We have to rise up, oh.

The church, we are lazy.

We become lazy. A lot of us, we become lazy.

We become lazy in reading the word, reading, in prayer, laziness,

in coming to church, in all the things that God

says that if we do, we will live and multiply

and not die. You will die. When you are spiritually dead.

You.

And verse 2.

Now listen to verse 6.

And you shall remember the whole way that your Lord

God has led you these 40 years in the wilderness.

Now let me ask you. I'm asking you and I'm

asking myself. And I'll tell you my response. Look at

that verse. You shall remember the whole way that the

Lord your God has led you these 40 years. I've

shared my story. Snippers of my soul.

I remember. You think I want to go back to.

Prophet City.

And go and apply Jerusalem cream. No way. You think

I want to go back. And go and drink the concoctions.

And do some jumps. And then bath some. I want

to go back. and be drinking some concoctions from nowhere

and find myself transported in the moment to Mecca. I remember.

Turn to somebody. Me too.

Turn to somebody and say, me too.

I remember. Yeah, I remember. I remember.

The whole way that the Lord God has led me.

You know what it has done?

It has humbled my heart. Me through Eradi.

Me through... Hey! Going back! Going back! Going back! The

sleepless nights going back. Waking up 2 a.m. every night

going back. Having the seashore constructed in my room. I remember.

I remember. I remember the saving hand and power of God.

I remember.

I remember. I remember. For me to stand here, I remember.

I remember. Did I be walking around? I was walking

around and somebody was following me.

Mm-hmm.

To the extent that sometimes even when I enter the

bathroom to take a shower. I'm sure they didn't want

me to shower again. You see the devil. Because I

mean the.

Point was like.

I'm going to shower and then.

Can you.

Imagine?

I would have found my wife. No bath for six years.

No bath.

But I was showering.

And then when I descend and I'm going and then

the thing is following me and say, there's nobody here.

I remember.

I remember.

God, I remember. I don't want to go back. I

want to go forward. That's why I remember. The thing

that brought me out. That is why I still pray.

That is why I still pray. That is why I'm

still on my knees. In the name of Jesus.

That is why I'm encouraging you to pray.

Rise up and pray. The chains will be broken.

It won't be broken.

It won't be broken.

In the name of Jesus. You used to sing those songs.

In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Uh-huh.

That's the demons who do what they will have to flee.

In the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow.

Every knee, not some knees. Every knee shall bow.

In the name of Jesus, Jesus, we have a victory.

Uh-huh.

Oh, somebody shout a big amen!

Whoo! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thank you. In the name of Jesus, we.

Have the victory.

Amen.

Hallelujah. So he said, remember.

Are you now getting it? So can you tell somebody

in FM, me, I remember.

Tell somebody for me.

I remember.

I remember.

I remember.

We are not going back.

No, no, no.

And he says that God did it so that he

will humble you.

Hey. Israel ready.

Israel ready because Israel is good.

I hope you get it. Because Israel is good.

I hope you get.

It. I hope you get it. Now he might humble you,

testing you to know what was in your heart, whether

you would keep his commandments or not. The wilderness experience

that we all led is part of the leading experience.

That's why I'm sharing with you my wilderness experience. God,

where are you? Lord, where are you?

Where are you?

The psalmist said, when I'm afraid, call me. When I'm afraid,

I'll call. But God was using it to train us

to know how to pray. I'll call on you. Because

every night, the nocturnal visitation, they will come. 2 a.m.

2 a.m. And then they will torture and torment you.

No night rest.

Close your eyes.
