Impact is different from res.
Fruitfulness is different from
resources. Because when God was telling
Adam be fruitful, he already gave him
the whole world. In fact, he was in the
garden. Adam was in luxury and
abundance. Yet God said be fruitful. So
fruitfulness is not wealth. Fruitfulness
is impact commanding undeniable results.
When a man’s life is is is very very
consequential on account of the results
he commands, then you say that man is
fruitful. Are we together? So we said
it’s another area where God will enlarge
us. That means this year our lives will
be very consequential. You will not be
part of the number. You will be an
entity of consequence anywhere you find
yourself. Remember the Bible said you
are the head not the tail. You are the
one who should shape ideologies. You are
the one who should bring direction,
bring inspiration. So God will give you
that capacity to be able to make impact
that is so consequential that even your
enemies will not deny or be able to deny
the fact that you are relevant.
Hallelujah. You know when somebody hates
you but he knows if you are ab absent
there’s problem. So he will tell you
well I don’t like him but keep him
there. We can’t do without him. That’s
what I’m talking about. Where even your
enemies pray for you to be present. They
hate the fact that you are prospering
but they know their life. Do you think
Satan can hate God enough to say God,
you don’t exist? Because even his own
breath is sustained by God. So I’m
fighting you. I hate you, but I need you
for my own survival. That’s where
somebody is entering this year.
Glory to God. So I said enlargement in
the area of fruitfulness. You see that I
keep repeating this thing. I will repeat
it for like 3 weeks because I want it to
become your consciousness.
A story was told about a preacher. They
brought him to a church, a new branch.
So he came, he preached a message. It
was so powerful, nobody could sit down.
He came back the next Sunday and
repeated the same message. This time the
excitement went down a little. He came
back the third Sunday and preached the
same message. Then people were like, “Is
this all you know?”
HE CAME BACK THE FOURTH SUNDAY AND
PREACHED THE SAME MESSAGE. People
started murmuring. Ah, what kind of
pastor is this one? WHEN HE CAME BACK
THE SIXTH SUNDAY AND STARTED PREACHING,
some walked out, others said, “No, no,
what is going on here?” He now say,
“Well, I I perceive that you guys are
muring. I will keep preaching it because
from the first day I preach it, I’ve not
seen the result.
It’s not about what I know. It’s about
your transformation.” So, if you have
not gotten what I’m saying, why say
more?
You know, PEOPLE GET EXCITED WHEN THEY
HEAR THINGS, BUT THEY DON’T EVEN GET IT.
You’ll be shocked that after the service
you ask somebody is God enlarging us
this year. He will say well maybe
hopefully YOU’LL BE SURPRISED WITH ALL
THE DECLARATIONS. YEAH I think so maybe
well nothing is too hard for God. If
somebody will still be saying that and
THEN IF YOU ENCOURAGE HIM AND HE AGREES
YOU NOW SAY SO WHAT AREA are you hoping
or believing God for enlargement
in this country? [laughter]
In this country, we are talking
survival. You are talking enlargement.
So, we have to pound it into you until
it uproots the the old negative
consciousness. Praise God. I want
somebody walking into this service to be
expecting open doors.
That’s what we are doing here. Lands,
you are getting land this year.
The door of a nation is opening. That’s
what I’m talking about. Something will
break out of me that will help Nigeria,
THAT WILL HELP AFRICA. THAT’S WHY we are
REPEATING IT. YOU MAY NOT LOOK IT. IT’S
NOT ABOUT YOU. It’s about what we are
giving you.
All things were made by him. Without him
was not anything made that was made.
It’s the word that will make it happen.
You are just A VESSEL.
SO QUIT LOOKING AT YOURSELF. LOOK AT the
word.
Praise God. So God will enlarge you in
the area of impact. YOU MUST MAKE IMPACT
THIS YEAR. You you must make impact this
year.
And then we said number six is in the
area of intimacy. God will give you
capacity to walk with him. You can stay
with him. You will hear him. He will
lead you. He will guide you. You will
know him to a point where you can draw
things from his realm. And on the
strength of your intimacy with him, the
works of Satan like sin, like failure,
like sickness, all of it will be
destroyed from your life. SOME OF YOU
WILL GET INTO DECEMBER. YOU THAT EVERY
DAY YOU HAVE negative thoughts in your
head. You’ll be wondering when was the
last time you thought about sinning let
alone committing one. You you realize
you’ve come beyond that realm. You that
every four weeks you commit a particular
sin. It has become your signature cycle.
Now a year has has been completed. You
you don’t even you’ve not even had THE
THOUGHT. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? You have
been saturated with glory because now
you stay with him. You hear his voice.
His presence has become your covering.
That’s enlargement. And that’s the most
important aspect of enlargement because
the more you walk with him, the more you
become like him. Second Corinthians 3:18
says, “We all with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory of the Lord, we
are metamopousted. We are changed from
one level of glory to another.” So
intimacy is a critical part of our
enlargement. In Exodus 34:29 and 30, the
Bible said Moses was able to stay with
God 40 days, 40 nights without food.
That’s stamina. You know there are
people here that any day they pray for
15 minutes that’s a revival
that’s heavy revival has begun because
the moment they wake up if they remember
to say thank you Jesus
maybe the covenant of their mothers have
spoken and the moment they say thank you
Jesus they carry phone till night
and this phone they are not studying oh
[music] they are scrolling checking
their friends handles and their enemies
handles they They are laughing. They are
angry. Emotions are fluctuating. See
this one? Wait till you be safe. And you
are still there watching. It’s something
that’s why you are watching. If it’s
nothing, what are you doing there and
they waste the whole day
that will not be you this year.
You will deploy your time effectively,
energy effectively and productively.
NOTHING will take control of you this
year. Only the Holy Ghost will lead you
this year in the name of Jesus. Praise
God. So in the area of intimacy and I
said finally in the area of works, the
works of God, good works, helping the
needy, winning souls into the kingdom,
discipling people, sponsoring kingdom
campaigns, God will empower you so much
and you’ll be so enlarged in that area.
For some of you, when this year is
ending, on your account alone, at least
10,000 souls will be added to the
kingdom. either because you went out
directly to win or you sponsored
campaigns or you prayed them into the
kingdom. You will not just you not just
be on earth and there’s no signal from
you into heaven anymore. No, things will
be happening in heaven because we are
here. Praise God. And on account of
that, nothing will take you out of here
until when God says you should go in the
name of Jesus. Praise God. So these are
major areas of enlargement this year.
But you see, we also need to keep to
understand the [music] things that will
provoke these possibilities. And I have
itemized them time and time again.
Because of our time tonight, I will just
go into one of the major
forces that provoke enlargement. [music]
One of the very major.
But if you want to write write down
these are the five things I’ll be six
things I’ll be dealing with as
precautions of enlargement. But I deal
with one tonight. Number one is light
and revelation.
You cannot be enlarged more than you
know. So when God wants to enlarge you,
one of the things he would do for you is
that he will give you access to
revelation.
Abraham never knew that it was possible
for a man to be a blessing to a nation,
let alone the whole earth. As far as
Abraham was concerned, if your family
prosper, gather yourselves together and
enjoy your life. And then suddenly a
spirit calls him and says number one,
leave your country to where?
Leave your kindred. So what? WHO AM I?
LEAVE YOUR FAMILY. I my family is my
identity. He said no, there are higher
realms. Genesis 12:1-3. And the spirit
tells Abraham, I will bless you. Now the
word bless is the word empowered to
prosper. So Abraham understood exactly
what the spirit was telling him. And the
spirit says, “And I will make of thee a
great nation.” Wait a minute. Can a man
be a nation? I thought the best a man
could ever be is a family. Say no. I can
make a man. It’s like telling a tree you
will become a forest. No tree has that
capacity is not in their realm. And you
are telling a man, I will make you a
great nation. I will bless you and make
your name great and you shall become a
blessing. Verse three, he rounded up by
saying indeed shall all the families of
the earth be blessed. How on earth will
Abraham have known that one man can be a
blessing to all the families on earth?
Is it even possible for one man to be
known by all the families on earth, let
alone being a blessing to them? What
level of capacity is that? Abraham
didn’t know such possibilities existed.
But when a spirit speaks, he brings you
light. And that light will confer
dominion on you. So one of the major
instrument for enlargement is the voice
of God or the revelations that comes
from God. There are words God can tell
you now your whole world will change
because number one you will see yourself
differently and number two even the
things you called problems you will now
see them as opportunities.
But it will take God speaking to you.
Isaac was going to run away from Gera.
In Genesis 26, you read from verse 1 to
- Everybody was going to Egypt. AND
THEN SUDDENLY GOD CALLS him and begins
to remind him if you keep my word, my
laws, my status, my charge as I
committed to your father Abraham, I will
bless you. And God ended UP BY SAYING,
STAY still in Gera. In this land, I will
bless you. The man never knew there was
a blessing in the land until God spoke.
And the moment God spoke to him, an
understanding came. OH, WE DON’T
necessarily need to run to Egypt to be
blessed. Where we are is where the
blessing is. And the BIBLE SAID HE
STAYED still in Gera. And he said in
that year he sowed and reaped a 100FOLD
RETURN. HE BECAME BIG. THE BIBLE SAID
AND ISAAC grew and wack strong and
continued to increase until the
Philistines envied him. A man who should
have RUN AWAY. SEE, JAGBA didn’t begin
with us. People were jabbaring from G to
Egypt. They didn’t see any hope in the
land. But a man had a spirit and in that
same year, it didn’t take 10 years. So
the land I want to run from, I can
prosper in it in one year and reap
100fold. Yes. When light [music] comes.
So this year, anything you can do to
catch light, catch it. Catch it. Catch
it. What God has for you is trapped in
his revelations. Either the one he
speaks or the ones he show you. CATCH
IT. LOOK AT THE way Paul puts it in
Ephesians chapter 1. If you read from
verse because of time verse 17, he said
that God may grant unto you. This was
Paul’s prayer. The spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him. He
said that the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened that you might know
the hope of his calling and the
exceeding riches that he has for the
saints in light.
The riches of the saints, the glory of
the saints, the wealth of the saints is
in light. Put the full the full
scripture.
H SO YOU YOU DON’T GET LIGHT, YOU DON’T
GET RICHES. You don’t get light, you
don’t get glory. So in 1 Corinthians 2,
Paul still spoke about it. If you read
verse 6 to verse 7, he said, “We speak
the wisdom of God in a mystery.” And he
said this wisdom, he said it doesn’t
make sense to the princes of this world.
He said but God reserved it for our
glory before the foundation of the
world. So every time you catch a
revelation, you break into
possibilities. You catch a light, you
break into possibilities. So this is not
the year where you play with the word of
God. This is not the year where you play
with the speakings of God. Learn to hear
the voice of God. And when you are in a
service like this and the word of God is
coming forth, refuse distraction. This
is not a theology class. This is I told
you already is the ecclesia. This is a
gate in the spirit where legislation,
litigation takes place. God will bring
words to you that will make you a law to
your generation. They can’t REFUTE YOU.
YOU CHANGE THINGS. YOU ALTER PROTOCOLS
AND IT MAY NOT EVEN BE WHAT THE PREACHER
IS SAYING I’M TALKING BUT SOMETHING will
open. light will hit your spirit and
then you WILL JUST YOUR LIFE WILL
CHANGE. Even you will not know how but
you have caught something. The moment
you catch it, it’s over.
It’s over.
So, one of the ways God will use to
enlarge you is to give you light. And I
will teach on light at another time
because I will show you how to access
light. I will teach you how to access.
There is a conditioning of the spirit to
make you able to access light and I will
show you what to do to avoid diffusers
of light because some of us have
conditioned ourselves in a way that we
can’t catch it. The word is catalano. So
people can’t catch distraction iniquity
has shut them down. Praise God. So
number one is light. Number two is
blessings. The blessing or prophetic
decrees. When God wants to shift you, he
brings you blessings and prophetic
utterances.
He told me particularly this year, he
said every week proclaim a blessing over
the people. Now I I even forgot about it
because sometime I think last year now
or the year before I was in a meeting in
Lagos at pastor y’s place and bishop
came to preach that morning blessed
encounter and he kept talking to us. He
said two things. Instruct the people.
Instruct the people and bless them. And
bless them. All of us were going. He
turned to me. He said, “Bless the
people. Bless the people.” I kneel down.
Bless the people. He said, “When you
teach, bless. When you teach, bless.” I
I WILL JUST COME HERE AND TALK AND OPEN
BIBLE VERSES AND PEOPLE WILL BE THOUGHT
I will just go. Said, “No, when you
teach, bless.” I now went into the
Bible. That was when Hebrews 13:17 came
alive. He said, “Obey them that have
rule over you and submit yourself to
them for they watch over your soul.”
Wow. I said, “So the way I bring
preservation to the congregation is to
give them instruction.” If the people
obey prophetic instruction, it means
they can’t die. It means evil come
before them because their preservation
is tied to the instruction. AND THEN GOD
TOOK ME again to NUMBERS 6:23. AFTER
THIS MANNER, he said, “Bless the
children of Israel.” Oh, so it WAS A
DELIBERATE ACT OF PRIESTHOOD. HE SAYS,
“SPEAK UNTO Aaron and unto his sons,
SAYING ON THESE WISE, BLESS the children
of Israel, saying unto them,”
HE SAID, “THE LORD bless thee and keep
thee.”
SO IF YOU DON’T BLESS THEM, they won’t
be empowered. They won’t BE PRESERVED.
THE LORD BLESS THEE AND KEEP THEE, MAKE
HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON THEE, AND BE
GRACIOUS UNTO THEE.
THIS WAS GOD TELLING MOSES, “LIFT UP HIS
COUNTENANCE UPON THEE, AND GIVE THEE
PEACE.”
No wonder the first MAN GOD CREATED
AFTER BUILDING HIM, GIVING HIM the whole
earth, he said the first thing God told
the man is, “And God blessed them.
Genesis 1:28. And God bless them. And
God said, “Be fruitful, multiply,
replenish, subdue, have dominion.”
Critical triggers of enlargement. Number
one, light and revelation or the voice
of God. Number two, prophetic decrees
and blessings.
NUMBER THREE
CRITICAL COMPONENT,
obedience
to priestly and prophetic instructions.
Obedience. HE SAID, “TEACH THEM to obey
the word and prophetic direction
otherwise they can’t enter.”
[music] In Isaiah 1:19, he said, “If you
have obedient, willing and obedient, it
said then you will eat the good of the
land.” So it’s the people who receive
instructions and obey that are blessed.
You study Deuteronomy 28:1-4,
he said they will be bigger than every
nation of the earth. He said, “But the
key is obedience.” [music]
So if you are rebellious, you cannot
have the advantage first to the word,
then to prophetic utterances. So this is
not the year where you hear things, you
choose and drop the one you don’t want.
So long as the Holy Ghost bears witness,
be [music] prompt. These are triggers,
precursors. Number four, he said
sacrificial living
because a sacrificial life is a
spiritual system that opens you up for
more. God wanted to bless Abraham and
make him a father of nations. Prophecy
had captured it, but the man’s heart
couldn’t contain it. He labored, got
Isaac 25 years of intercession and God
shows up in Genesis 22 from verse one to
take up that same child that he got
through faith and go sacrifice him. When
Abraham went to the mountain in Genesis
22:5, he said, “I’m going up with a
young lad to worship.” He was ready. And
still God kept quiet. He got up, tied
the boy, put him on the wood. When he
wanted to strike, God shouted. Do you
know it was on that mountain that
Abraham encountered Jesus? When Jesus
said, Abraham, your father saw my day
and rejoiced in it. They said, “You are
not yet 50. How did you how? What are
you talking about?” He said, “Before
Abraham was, I am.” So the one who
engaged Abraham there was the Christ.
And that was when Abraham understood the
salvific work of Jesus Christ because
Isaac was symbolic of the Christ. That
was the cross. Praise God. So he opened
the man up in this year. God will put a
lot of demands on you for sacrifice.
It’s not designed to diminish you.
Except the corn of wheat falls to the
ground and dies. It abides alone.
God will invoke death to bring life. So
this is that year where you may just be
driving and God will tell you that
person you bought from add 2,000, give
10,000. You’re coming to a service God
tells you give for sewing. Give for this
[music] and you want but I barely have
TO GO BUY. THAT’S WHY you are doing it
because if you eat the bread and the
seed you will die. He gives bread to the
eater and seed to the sewer. The problem
is that most of us cannot separate the
bread from the seed. So we eat all. No
farmer eat all. If you want a harvest
you saw. So in the year of enlargement
there will be a lot of sacrificial
requirements. Glory to God. And then
number five, service and works of your
hand
as much as you can render service to God
and to people. That’s the essence of
work. Everything you call a career is
actually an opportunity to render
service and value. Career is not about a
title. It’s not even about expertise.
Expertise or area of training is just an
angle where you have developed the
highest level competence in offering
service. The goal is to offer service.
So as much as you can don’t be idle this
year.
Work for God and work to be a blessing
to people. For those of you who have
jobs, careers, be the best at it. Don’t
look at the salary. You are in the bank,
you are in real estate, you are in
business. Just see it as service to
humanity. [music] Be the best. SEE,
THERE ARE CAUSES you may need to take to
improve yourself. Let your driving force
be, I want to bless humanity. [music]
You will be shocked as your focus moves
from money to serving people, blessing
people, the increase will be so
astronomical, even you will struggle to
believe it. [music]
Be the best. YOU ARE CUTTING PEOPLE’S
HAIR. GO BACK to your salon. TIDY IT UP.
ANYBODY WHO COMES HERE TO B should let
him have an experience. It’s not about
they are paying me 1,000 2,000. see it
as service to humanity. You are into
real estate. You are building houses for
people. Tell yourself if I build for
somebody, this building will stand in
100 years. And anything I PUT IN THIS
BUILDING, maybe I’m doing interior
decoration. If you enter, even you will
know this is a palace. YOU YOU YOU ARE
INTERESTED in giving people the best
obtainable. The moment you become
oriented towards service, you will see
the way God will bless the works of your
hand. It will so increase that yourself
will know that this is not just wages.
This is blessing coming in my direction.
So this is a year where you want to
serve. If you have any opportunity to
serve, give your all. Now be intelligent
about it. If you are serving where you
have to be paid for your services, sit
down properly as an intelligent business
person, negotiate intelligently based on
the value you have to offer. Are you
following? Negotiate well. Don’t
undervalue yourself. AND THEN WHEN YOU
ARE PAID, MAKE SURE when you deliver,
they will know that what you have done.
There’s no other place they would have
get gotten a better a better
presentation. I told my people those who
work for the Arabs, there are three laws
they work with. Number one is speed. Who
can do it fastest? [music]
Number two is excellence. Who can
produce the most innovative work? And
number three is affordability.
who can do the best at the most
reasonable cost. That’s how they think.
So when they want to build a house, they
can get 100 architects. What do you want
to do? If you bring something normal,
they say well done. If there’s no
innovation, if there’s no excellence, go
and sleep. Okay, this thing you want to
do, when will you finish? Because it’s
not forever.
You have to be have a a reasonable
timeline. HOW MUCH? WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF
THAT, then they look at reliability. But
you see some of us have been doing what
we are doing for 10 years is the same
skill the same technique that we started
with 10 years ago. We are still applying
now. So you tell the person come and
wash my house he carries brush with omu
[laughter] when they using machine to
wash you have not you have not you have
not learned how to service humanity and
because of that you can’t be enlarged.
So add innovation
add deliberateness to the work of your
hand. see it as I want to give the best
to humankind. They were intervening Elon
Mus recently and he said his his
motivation is to improve humanity. Uh is
that why you are going to space? Yeah. I
thought he was going to say some very
complicated stuff. Why are you going to
space? Yeah. We want to see how we can
bend the laws of physics. No. The man
said uh what’s the movie now? One fairy
tale movie. He said they want to make it
real. Uh
yeah. Give human give humans an
experience.
You want to that’s what brought this
whole innovation. They just want to
improve humanity. They are looking for
how to make life easy for men. But see
the poor man his salary his money. How
do I survive? Man must work.
So you give him a job. HE DOESN’T EVEN
DELIVER THE JOB BUT HE HAS spent the
money. So when you say no this job you
DIDN’T DO IT WELL. BRING THE MONEY BACK.
OKAY. My money don’t finish. If you like
take him to jail. You have to sell his
intestine to get that money. He
squandered the money before starting and
the MOMENT THEY FINISH SPENDING WHILE
YOUR JOB IS NOT YET FINISHED. They’ve
collected another contract. So suddenly
the guy who was coming to site every day
before you paid now that you have paid
he comes once IN A WEEK. WHERE ARE YOU?
It’s in another site. [music]
SO AFTER AFTER 6 MONTHS HIS HIS PHONE IS
OFF. He moves only in the night.
What has happened? He has collected five
contracts. He didn’t finish anyone.
But he comes to church. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Dry bones will rise again. type
you [music] are you are a criminal.
You know the prophecy he wants to
collect more clients money and eat. When
they finish this city they will now move
to another city and open another
company.
[laughter]
[snorts] My god. My god. Why why are
some of you smiling as if you know them?
Have you met them
when when you walk next time walk with
discernment I have seen some things
that’s why nowadays
I don’t give you any contract because I
know you if you like be be related to my
grandfather
talk everything I will study the ones
you have done before do a thorough
review ask questions I will see customer
experience before I’ve seen things they
will come they will tell you one year
warranty Don’t worry this one is one
year warranty when you now say okay your
lawyer will come let’s sign war
guarantee his mouth
they just want to talk to carry money
out of your body
I’ve blocked some people because of it
you know why they say it’s man of god he
won’t fight us
you don’t know human beings in fact when
they start talking to you they say ah
sir you are a man of god I don’t joke I
don’t joke with men of god this work I
want to do for me is service to god run
away that’s a thief don’t do it for me
as a man of God, do it for me as a
professional.
We are going to deal with these things.
They look simple, but I’m telling you
why some people CAN’T BE BLESSED. YES,
PROPHECY CAN CAUSE DRY BONES to become a
great army. But are you competent on
your job?
Pause. Anybody who does not work should
not eat. They said with these hands I
labor night and day.
So they labor. They had competence. They
had dexterity. They had capacity. Glory
to God. And then finally is faith which
is what I’ll be touching in the next 30
minutes. I’ve done a lot of teachings on
faith. So I’m not going into defining
faith or explaining so many rudiments.
There are two things I just want to show
you about faith this evening. Number one
is
or are critical facts about faith. When
you are going to walk and operate in
faith, there are certain facts that you
must understand. So that when you are
deploying your faith and it looks like
it’s not working, you won’t give up
because you understand how faith works.
So they actually the dynamics of the
workings of faith dynamics
dynamics to the workings of faith. And
then number two, I will show you that
faith is actually one of the basis for
enlargement.
Faith makes for enlargement. Just like
revelation does, just like prophecy does
and blessings, just like walking with
your hand does, faith also provokes
enlargement.
