If you received a miracle, if you were healed because of the prayer. Please do well to communicate back to us. Share your testimony. A testimony. Share. It's a miracle. God. Amen. To Jesus. Hallelujah to Jesus. All right. We're looking at a very beautiful verse of a beautiful study. Thus far we've been understanding why the. The disciples left that Jesus into the boat or began to the ship. Sorry. And began to understand why we have to wait for Jesus. Amen. To Jesus. Before you embark on any journey, wait for Jesus. You know, whenever I get into challenges, I just tell the Lord. Lord, you are the one who brought me to this. You get what I'm saying? I didn't bring myself into it. Praise God. So you've got to make a way out if you live here. I will not do this. Remember, somebody asked me, do you like this country where you are? And I told the person, I'm here because I have to be here. Are we together? It's not about what I like, what I don't like, because it's about necessity. The apostle Paul said, necessity is laid on me. Who am I if I do what? Preach not the gospel. We don't live life based on desire. We live life based on necessity. Praise God forevermore. That's the only successful life in life. A life deed of necessity. Not of what desires. I say I'm here because I have to be here. Not because I desire it, not because I like it. Who doesn't want something better? What beautiful. Praise the Lord forevermore. But the necessity calls for you and you do what necessity demands of you. Amen to Jesus. All right. And so basically, whenever I get into situations, being that I obey the Lord, I tell him, get me out of it. Because I didn't plan to be here. Believe me, I wouldn't want to be here. So get me out of this. Praise God. And God has always shown himself true. He has always gotten me out of any challenges that come to me. Praise the Lord forevermore. All right. So basically that's why it's important to wait on the Lord. Wait for the Lord. Don't just rush. You get in by yourself. You get to get yourself out. Praise the Lord forevermore. And by the time you're going to cry for mercy, when you got in by yourself, your mercy will prevail. But I've experienced some casualties. Praise the Lord forevermore. And God doesn't want us experiencing casual. He doesn't want us experiencing losses, doesn't want us experiencing, you know, destruction. And every of us. That's why it's important we must wait on The Lord Wait for the Lord before we embark on journeys. Praise the Lord Forevermore. Life is a daily journey, so you need to wait on the Lord on a daily basis. Are we together? All right. We look at the benefits of waiting for the Lord using the shepherd service. We look at it of scripture that helps us understand why we have to wait on the Lord. It's not a very lengthy study. Praise the Lord forevermore. So it's just important for us to listen to what we have to learn and learn it and do it. Praise the Lord forevermore. And after this, looking at how to wait for the Lord and how to wait for the Lord. Very important study because it will help us. Isaiah 40:21. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And they shall walk and not faint. Amen to Jesus. Amen. I've thought before on how the eagle renews his strength. It is a very, very, very, very, very, very graphical, you know, picture to behold in the mind. Amen to Jesus. When the eagle begins to get old, what happens is that stallions begin to bend, grow bends in. And then the beak begins to also grow bent. So when the beaks actually bend, but the bending becomes so severe, and then the feathers become a bent period. Now as a result of that, it can no longer breathe its prey well again it. Amen to Jesus. And it can no longer even feed well again because of the talon and the word. Then the feathers become old, so they cannot carry it for some serious, you know, flight any longer. And the. I think the American eagle, when he spreads his feather side to side, is six feet long. Praise God Forevermore. That's, that's, you know, that's some learned. Is that also? Yeah. And we also learned that the eagle can carry an animal three times the size. So you see, some of them will carry mountain goats. Praise God Forevermore. And the snake is just a toy for it. Amen to Jesus. All right. And so when it gets to that point, the eagle is faced with a crucial decision in life. Either it allows age. Kill it. Are you getting me? Or it chooses to renew his strength. Actually, they get to that age. They get to that point, I think when they're about 30 years old. So you get to that point. 30 should be the time for crime. Is that also. According to. From a human standpoint, 30 is the prime age. Praise the Lord Forevermore. And that's when you can actually do a lot. But that's when the ego has worked so hard. And it begins to age at that age. Now it has two options. Either it allows age kill it, or it chooses to live. And the choice to live comes with a cost. And it comes with pain. Praise the Lord forevermore. Hallelujah to Jesus. So the choice to live will entail the ego renewing its strength. So this vat of spiritual. When the scriptures were written, they were written with an understanding of nature. The psalmist wrote something to the understanding of the shepherd. Who was the shepherd? Are we together? So he wrote with the shepherd's understanding that this is an understanding of nature that was used to write this particular verse of Scripture because it helps us understand a lot about life. Amen to Jesus. So the eagle has to choose to renew his strength and to die for age. And 30 is too young to die. Are you getting what I'm saying? For the eagle, because he has a lot of life ahead of it. So that decision to renew his life would come with a cost and would come with pain. Now what does he have to do? It has to go to a mountaintop where no animal can reach it. Where the eagles fly, you know, no animals can actually get there. It has to put a mountain top where no animal can reach it. And then by itself, it has to bend its talons on. They press his talons against the mountain and break them. When the talons are broken, what happens? Blood begins to wash out. Amen to Jesus. So it's bleeding and bleeding and bleeding. And then what does it do? It uses his beak to pull off all the old feather. When he does that also, it's bleeding. It's bleeding and bleeding. And then finally it breaks. Presses the beak on the mountain and breaks the beak. And it also bleeding and bleeding. Now imagine it in a pool of what? Blood and pain. Everything new comes with pain. When a new baby is to be born, what does it come with pain from? Your mother is anosuke. Mother has to go through labor pain. Pain is not nice. Nobody likes pain. But death comes with pain. And you cannot remove death from. Remove pain from what? From birth. Praise the Lord. Forevermore. Hallelujah to Jesus. Praise God. Forevermore. And so if you want to bet yourself, what do you do? You have to. You have to increase the pain. Bible says they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their trip. So waiting will require you. Embracing pain. That's what you need to take note of. Waiting will require you embracement. We've been waiting for years. And I know what the pain looks like. I know what it feels like to wait. Praise God forevermore. There is no waiting that comes with fun. Are we together every waiting. Even when you are kept to watch, you know, a movie or whatever, Are you getting me? And when you are taking ice cream, whatever after why you realize the purpose, why you came. Are you getting me? And then the movie no longer makes sense. The ice cream no longer makes sense. The purple no longer makes sense. Purpose begins to cry for you. Sorry. You begin to cry for purpose. Why did I come to this office? I can't keep watching the news. Are you get what I'm saying? I can't keep reading the newspapers. I can't keep eating the popcorn or licking the ice cream. I left my house to come here on purpose. Amen to Jesus. All right. And so waiting always require you embracing pain. And another thing to also know about waiting is that waiting will require you taking making daily desperate decisions. Are we together? Making desperation. I began to understand because when I began to look at Davis and 400 men that came to meet him in the cave. Ever since they were in debt to stress and discontent. 3D army dead dispensed and dis. But I realized that there was a false quality that they had that was not put literally in that vessel which I was what they were desperate. I began to pray for men who were in debt, distressed and discontented to marry me. They actually came. I get what I'm saying. But I discovered that they almost ruined my work for me. Because men who are in debt, distressed and discontent, they actually in death distress and discontent. Because they are messed up and they have lumed themselves. Are you get what I'm saying? The only thing that can make them become successful men is when they are desperate for a change. Are you getting me? And this man who came to meet, they were desperate for what A change. So desperate decisions would always succeed. Waiting on the Lord. Because that time you have waited on the Lord. You must make desperate decisions. But we just say, Lord, I've waited. Lord, what length after you have waited? There's God, okay, Just drop the manna from heaven. Even if he drops the manna, you have to make a desperate decision to go out there and pick it. Are we together? When Moses cried unto God because the people cried unto him, God replied him and said, why are you crying to me? Moses was waiting on the Lord. Are you get what I'm saying? For a decision, for a word, for what else he gave a direction. Are you know what I'm saying? And God told him, why are you crying unto me? And then what did God tell you? You have to make a decision. What decision? Tell the people to do what? To go forth. Now, that instruction came with a decision. Because no matter how sweet the word is from the Lord, it always starts and stretch. And let me use the word, even destabilize your mental faculty. How can people be facing in front of them and see, and you're telling them, go forward. Come on, tell me something that's realistic. I get what I'm saying. Tell me something that is what realistic. Every time we wait on the Lord, the instructions the Lord will give us will tell us. Taking a desperate decision. Therefore, for Moses to take that story alone, if it will be only now, that said God, that said you go for Moses went to go forth into the ocean. I get what I'm saying now. Then taking people along with him to make that desperate decision, that's way out of it. Every time we wait on the Lord, every time we wait, because the equal has to wait and make sure it decides. And then when it weighs these two sides, what happens? It does what? In the place of waiting, it decides. It makes a desperate decision either to die or to what? Or to be renewed. Are we together? It has to decide. So desperate decision is always very important. Over the years in life, I've learned not to work with people who are not desperate to succeed. When I talk about desperate, I'm not going from the negative point of view. Talking about from the positive point of view. When you are desperate to succeed, when God tells you go forward, you will look at the sea and you will still go forward. I get what I'm saying. You look at the sea and you see, go forward. But when you're not desperate to succeed, when God tells you go forward, you look forward and you say, God, can't you see what you are telling me to go into? Many of us have questioned God because we are not desperate for what our generation is. A generation with no desperation. We only have desires. But we don't have desperation. And our desires are just desires for fleeting and transient needs, not for destiny. When your desire is for destiny, when God gives you an instruction, you know that you require a desperate decision. And you will tell God. Can't you see? You will tell God. You have seen rightly, and I will follow. Lord, if you said it, it means that it's possible. Lord, if you said it, it means it is what possible. The Lord told us to do something. We have entered into that and said, God, we've just gone, as you have said. If you have said, then we know that it's possible. We don't mind what the situations around look like. But if you have said it, we know it is possible. It is possible. So I've learned to work with people who are desperate. To what? Succeed. Because only such men can make desperate decisions. Are we together? Only something makes desperate. And so after the waiting comes a desperate decision. And the desperation will require you to what? To embrace pain. Pain. Pain. Pain cannot be removed. In life, very pain also entails sacrifice. Are we together? It entails sacrifice. Know what pains me the most? The secular. The. The people of God will say children of this world are always the worse than the children of God. The people of the world, they embrace pain. I get what I'm saying. They embrace sacrifice. But Christians, we say Jesus has sacrificed everything for us, so there's no need to save back. But don't forget, he said if anyone wants to follow me, should do what? Pick up his cross and do what? Follow me. The cross there symbolizes sacrifice, symbolizes pain. You must embrace pain. For you to. To follow him because he embraced pain. To be able to get you what salvation. Are we together? Must embrace pain. You want to be renewed? You must embrace pain. You must embrace it. Must embrace sacrifice. We have sacrificed so much as a family that sometimes don't want to think of the sacrifice. I was talking to somebody and I said, see what I've suffered in this country, what I've lost, the money I've lost. I said, I'm only praying for God to restore me. That's why I said to the two of them, I said, I'm only praying for God to restore me. The sacrifices have been much. Sometimes I look at people, I don't. They wonder why I won't mind you. I won't mind you because the sacrifice is much. The sacrifice is much. Are we together? And nothing in life happens without sacrifice. Life is built on sacrifice. Are we together? If anything must happen, there must be sacrifice in God, must be sacrificing God. Pain must be embraced. Sacrifice must be what accepted, else no success in life. Are we together? All right. And so the eagle has to embrace pain and accept sacrifice. And what does it do? It has to sacrifice the pleasure. For what? Displeasure. That's to feel the pains. And you see, there are two types of pain. There are pains that are inflicted on people, that people inflict it on you are. You get what I'm saying? And there's a pain you inflict on yourself. The pain that is inflicted on you. I get what I'm saying. It's torture. But the Pain you inflict on yourself is discipline. Are we together? The pain that is inflicted on you is called torture. Are. You get what I'm saying? But the pain you inflict on yourself is called discipline. And if you must succeed, you only succeed on the grounds of discipline. That's why desperate decision will require discipline. Are we together? Desperate decisions require what? Discipline. I've always said it time and again that God is not torturing us. God is structuring us. God has given us structure, not torture. But the structure requires what? Doing what? Inflicting pain on ourselves. Discipline. Are we together? When we're in school, we had to read because we had to read. Not because it was poor, but because we had to read. I get what I'm saying. I remember I was thinking a while ago how when I graduated from university, just graduated, I noticed that the Lord started putting me on his structure. I woke up in the morning and I want to. And I'm at home, you know, waiting for nys. So I was at home with my parents, you know, wake up in the morning and I'm about to, you know, take breakfast. After bathing and brushing, it's time for breakfast. And I heard the Lord tell me, do not eat, Lord. Just like say, yes, do not eat. Go on it. Lord, you didn't tell me I should go on the fast yesterday. God, he don't see. He's not reporting to you. Praise the Lord forevermore. The Lord is not reporting to me. I'm reporting to him so he can scatter my schedule whether I like it or not. Are you getting me? So you just tell me, go on the fast. And it happened time and again, time and again, time and again. The discipline was not on. Are you getting me? But today I'll say I'm benefiting from those rugged fastings, impromptu fastings, and because I'm not doing those fastings like before, again. But I can see that the anointings that were built by those fastings, they are painful. I get what I'm saying. So I made us understand that there are two kinds of pain. There is pain that is inflicted on you by another, that is called torture. And there's a pain that you inflict on yourself. It is called discipline. And discipline is required for success. Torture is not required for success. Are you going to say, but discipline is required for success. Are we together? Amen to Jesus. But it's painful to see that they also tortured Jesus just for him to succeed. Amen to Jesus. Torture to succeed. Praise the Lord forevermore. As many times people will Torture us. But the actual fact is that what people do is not as important as what we do to ourselves. I get what I'm saying. When people tell you don't do this, don't do that, and it looks like it's torture, don't allow it become you know what they are doing to you. Rather choose to take a discipline. I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, I'm going to. You get what I'm saying? With that, you build a discipline of pain for yourself. And when you discipline yourself, you get to a point where it becomes your natural way of life. And then you don't have an issue. Begin to flow with it. Praise the Lord forever more. Hallelujah to Jesus. Amen and amen. All right, so we need to understand that the desperate decision make you put up discipline for yourself. You put up breathing structure, brain structure. Are you get what I'm saying? Reading program, praying program. God is going to put up a structure for you, but you have to apply align to it by discipline. Like I said, God does not touch on what he structures us. He puts a structure for us. But we are aligned to his structure by discipline. I get what I'm saying. Put up a prayer for program for praying, program for study. A program for working. You put it up by yourself. Are you know what I'm saying? Nobody's going to make it for you. That's what makes leaders. Leaders do not have to be told to work. Leaders, leaders tell themselves to work. I get what I'm saying. Leaders know how to be told to work. Leaders tell themselves to work. And that's why we have a lot of followers for feuded as well. Because everybody wants somebody to tell him to work. Especially for Christians. January we do the January fasting. Are you get what I'm saying? Media we do seven days fasting. Then after that no fasting again the next day again. Are you getting me? But when you are a leader, you don't need to wait for general church fasting to fast. The Lord tells you fast. You also need to tell yourself I should be fasting intermittently. Are you getting what I'm saying? Prayer do not need to tell you come for prayer meeting. No, you are, you are the prayer meeting on your own. Are you what I'm saying? All right. That's a very important way to understand it. The desperate decision make us better disciplined English has to do that. And the pains will come, the blood will flow. Blood always. Whenever blood flows. Speaks of sacrifice. When blood flows, something has died. The old talons died. That's why blood flow are. You get what I'm saying? The old feathers died. That is why blood flowed. The old beak died. That is why blood flow. For you to be renewed, the old has to die. For you to be renewed, the old has to what? Die. The old has to die. If the old still want to live, then the new cannot live. They can't live together. That's why the Bible says in the Old Testament children of people were told not to sew an old garment. To what A new garment. The two can't live together. They can't live. Similar to a very person. If you try to give some of them. Just think that God just was still like addictive. No, try it for yourself. Get an old garment, an old plot and sow a new plot. In no time that new plot will begin to what? Pull that old plot and the old plot will give it. Because the strengths are different. Bible says you don't put. Do not put new wine into old wise wife. It tear it to bust it. The strengths are different. I get what I'm saying. For the new to come, the old has to die. The old has to give it. In the animal kingdom, there are some animals that where they give birth, the mother dies and the new offspring lives. Are you know, I'm saying praise God forevermore. Hallelujah to Jesus. Amen. For us as humans. Yes. Blood comes out. The woman must lose blood. Are you what I'm saying? The man must lose blood. Blood is a proof that something has died and something is coming alive. Are we together? So waiting on the Lord will require peace. Amen. But after this is that strength is renewed. Remember that when woman give birth, what happens? She gives her skin to the child. Are we together? She gives her skin to the child. That's why the more she gives birth, what happens? She ages. Are you getting me? The more she gives birth, she ages. She's aging. Why? Because she's giving her skin. She's dying, giving her skin to the child. And the child is coming new strong. Are you getting me strong? And some of the times we don't like to die to old things. Especially amongst Africans, we don't like to die to old things. So new things don't come. It's so amazing to see that we hold onto people that have not helped us move forward. Are you get what I'm saying? Look at our ancestors, that they help us. Look at the western. Look at the ancestors, how they help them. Are we together? And we are still pointing libation to people that did not help us go forward. Are you getting what I'm saying? We hold on to things that people have not helped us before to get new ideas. We don't get new ideas. So the waiting process entails all of this. And that's the reason why a lot of Christians don't like to wait. Because wait will come with pain. Weight will come with sacrifice. Are you get what I'm saying? It will come with all of this. It will come with a desperate desire. That will be a decision. And that decision you will follow through it. Are we together? That's what happened to the ego. And then the blood comes and then the pains or the mind living with those kind of pains. Those kind of pains. Pains are coming from your feathers, pains are coming from your. Your talons. Pain is coming from your mouth. Everywhere pain. That's why when the woman is giving me they said the liver pain is liking to all your bones being broken at the same time. Is that not so? That's what death is all about. Pain from everywhere. If it's only headache, pain is understandable. Are you getting me? When breast pain is understandable, which any other pain in one part of body is understandable. But labor pain, the whole body is pain. That was me. That's the similar thing that the ego experiences. The beak is in pain, the claws, the, the, the. The. The legs are in pain, the wings are in pain. Everywhere in pain. And when you are going through that kind of pain, you cannot manage. Because if it's one area that the pain is, you can be able to say okay, this is where the pain is. Let me focus my energy. But when everywhere is in pain, that happens in life. When you wait on the Lord. Some people think that just know Lord, come on just miracles, everything just my brother, when you wait on one of the proof of that, you begin to experience pain somehow. I'm talking from experience, I'm not talking theorist. At the point we came to say what is all this? Every everywhere you talk pain, believing for that period. Everywhere pain. Pain in the mouth, pain in the neck, pain in the hand. Ah, a lot of times Christians don't like this pain because you know that they know that pain does not be formed with pain. Renewal comes with pain. So we don't want that pain. So we try every way to avoid and circumvent the pain. But you know the truth about if you circumvent the pain, you will still get paint and be wrong pointer see I rather go through the pain that comes to waiting on the Lord. Than go to the pain that comes with avoiding waiting on the Lord and to bring shame to me. Are you know what I'm saying? Because shame is a kind of pain. Some people have said they are immune to shame. No, nobody is immune to shame. Everybody is the pain of shame when people not know you as fraudulent, people know you as a manipulator, people know you as not straightforward and you are still carrying Bible and preaching. I hear what I'm saying. It's painful. And most of the time when people avoid waiting on the Lord, they've learned to manipulate their way. They will meet, they will embrace that pain. So I rather prefer the pain that comes waiting on the Lord because they never give me shame. It can never give me shame. It's only glory, man. Let my beak be painting me, let my legs be painting me. Let my wings be painting me. But don't worry, it wouldn't end there. It will end there, it will end there. It has never end in pain. I get what I'm saying. But you know one thing? God is a God that always suits our pain. When the ego just puts itself in this kind of painful condition for me to understand now, something begins to happen. Oil begins to flow from where the talons are removed from to soothe the pain. And you get what I'm saying? Then even where the feathers are removed from, oil begins to flow from the body. The ego begins to secrete oil. And that oil flows into where those feathers remove from and it soothes the pain. And oil flows from the beak that was cuckoo, that area from the body of the ego and soothes the pain. Yes, there is pain, but there is oil that comes to soothe. That's the person of the Holy Spirit. He's called the comforter. You know, oil is symbolic for the Holy Spirit. That's why when you are going through the pain that comes after waiting Holy Spirit will there to comfort you. We're not saying you will not feel pain, but he will comfort you when you are in pain. And when the oil comes, it doesn't mean that the talons have grown immediately. Some of us are waiting for magic. No, God is not a magician. God is worker. America will take walking with you and walking on you. The eagle has to be walked up. That's why the Holy Spirit will first come. Because God is working on you. Bible says is he that will let the pocket in your boat to will and to do of his good pleasure. He has to what? Allow process, Allow nature work on it. And you get what I'm saying? And for for process. God is not going to cut short process because of your pain. No, he will cut short process because of your pain. But. But he will comfort you in the course of your faith. For Allah process to have his full course. So the Bible say, allow patience have a perfect work. Because patience must have a perfect work. So in between the manifestation and the pain is the comforting work of the Holy Spirit. Who is the symbolic which is symbolic for the which the oil symbolizes. He suits the pain. Are you get what I'm saying? Waiting for the manifestation. So while the manifestation is still taking time, because process has and patience have to have a perfect world. The Holy Spirit is comforting. That's why he said. I told him, I will not leave you as Oranos. I will not leave you helpless. The Greek word Oranos. Why? He said I will not leave you as what? Helpless words. In other words, the Greek word for helpless is what? Oranos. I will not leave you as orans. Why? Because I know that between my living and the manifestation will come what Pain. And you need the comforter to comfort you in the period of pain. Pain is not negotiable. Sacrifice is not negotiable. But there is the presence of the Holy Spirit that suits you and comforts you with the pain. Because you know that this pain will not be for you. Because after the pain comes the pain. And in no time what happens? The new tunnels grow, the new feathers grow and the new pig grows. And the eagle is ready for life. Our men to understand that when these new talons and feathers and pig grows, the eagle can live for another 40 years hunting and thriving. I get what I'm saying. Hunting and thriving, succeeding. And after this happens, after all the growth happens, the eagle doesn't just jump out like that. Some of us when the miracle happens, we are in your body to jump out. No, the ego waits for the biggest storm to come. It knows the storm. See when after the waiting is another waiting. Because after the waiting there'll be pain, there'll be sacrifice, there'll be desperate decision. Are you get what I'm saying? Will be discipline. Are we together? There'll be the comforting role of the Holy Spirit. Then there will be the miracle which is the growth of the new the rebate. After the rebirth, there is another waiting again. You don't just come to timeline. I remember the Lord began to lay my heart this year to take a ministry step past them taking another ministry step. And I never looked in that direction. I get what I'm saying. I never looked. I Never looked in that direction. I'll just initially we did, but not that. Not that. And you get what I'm saying? Not just focusing on this ministry decision. I never in that direction, but this. The Lord began to do it in my heart. The Lord told me about this in many years ago. Ten years ago it was in Nigeria. Are you getting me? So I was wondering how. How would this apply? And many years, 10, not 10 years or more after the Lord brought the same word for me. So the Lord God tell you something. I think that's for now. Are you what I'm saying? And begin to run with it. And God oh, the Lord has said it. I lost you guys for now. You know that word God is giving you so that when he. When he says it, you will remember that he once said it. So Bible says the mouth of the holy word is established. I get what I'm saying. When once I lost twice abide head God. You say it once and you get what I'm saying so that you will hear it twice. What do I mean by hear it twice? Except in the future that word will come back again. You are hearing it twice now. But it's God has said it once. I get what I'm saying. This is the second time anybody God has said it what once. And he said it once in the past. So you feel that. Oh God. I know everything. You hear God saying that is to happen now. Try. Maybe it may happen, but it's not for now. I get what I'm saying. And even if it happen. But that's not now for it are you get what I'm saying? But God speaks it once. Because in the future you hear it twice. That same word. You will hear it again tomorrow. Are you reading me? And then with when that happens? What happens is that without it that this is the Lord. That is what speaking. Because he has spoken it once. And you are hearing it what twice. God told the church Israel when you are judging the matter. He said a matter shall be established between in appearance of what two or three words. Witness. God speaks words, but is a witness to himself. Bible says by three immutable things. Where it is impossible for God to what to lie. He said the word, the blood and the spirit. Are you what I'm saying? And water. Yeah. Are we together? So this all symbolize God himself. Are you getting me? So God is a witness to himself. So when he speak words that word you hear twice to show that it is this is God saved it years after the Lord is saying it again to me. I get what I'm saying, but I have to wait again. Are you getting after the first waiting comes another waiting. Because you don't just jump because the variable has come. You wait for the storm. Because it is storm that makes you flexibility. It's the storm that makes you show up immediately. See, they are stubborn. It's not every wind that will make people know that you have deceivability as a wind. That you don't know the magnitude of your miracle. They live. There are storms that reveal what God has done in your life. Oh my God. Sometimes God began to tell us about his storm. That be. I was instant. I get what I'm saying. It reviews what God has done in your life. The tenacity. Somebody told me something. I just said, then you have really changed. I don't understand that you have really changed. Because really sometimes the things I have to move me before, they don't move me again. I get what I'm saying. The proof of change is storms, not just me. I get what I'm saying. Every Bible says not taught by every wind of doctrine. So whenever you finish waiting and immediately wait, there's another waiting again. That storm will show what God has done in your life. I get what I'm saying. To show the miracle that God has worked in your life. Say God. But there's a storm coming now. No, there's a storm miracle is to show what God has done in your life. He says one who worketh to you is to show that he has worked. When he said allow patients have a perfect work. So should have patient has had a perfect work. Are we together? Storm will come again. The ego will wish for another. A major storm. Because it doesn't fly on winds, petty winds. It flexes its muscles or storm. And when the heavy storm is coming about when the storm is coming, what does the eagle do? The eagle will go against opposite the storm. Are you know what I'm saying? It just directly opens door against the storm. What? The storm that kills birds. Eagles love them. And when he. When it goes against the storm loggerhead against the storm, what happens? The storm will drift it up and take it up. And then it begins to soar. The wings of the eagles are too big. If they have to flap, they will die. So yeah, they will die. Their wings are too big. They have to keep flapping like birds who die. So they have to swap on storms. So after the first waiting comes another waiting. After the first waiting comes waiting after the miracle is done. Because that waiting is what shows that miracle has been done. And that waiting is not for something nice, that waiting is for a storm. When it looks like you have waited on the Lord and finally a miracle has come, and you say, I want to go. Oh, I want to show the miracle. And it looks like another storm comes, it looks like a problem. Now comes. Smile, because that's the proof that God has worked on you. I get what I'm saying. And that problem is not going to kill you. It's actually going to raise you. The storms that kill birds take the ego. Are we together? And that's what waiting does. It brings about renewal. Renewal. Wait for Jesus, my brother, my sister. You cannot wait while waiting for him. You only become new by the day. We have waited. By the day I will be foreign you. We become more new. You think that this is the best you that you can get? No, there is a better you. Second Corinthians 3, verse 18. We are with open faces, building like in the glass. Are changing to the same image. For what? From glory to glory. Are we together? Romans, chapter 12, verse 6. Be not conformed to this world, but being transformed by the world. Renew with renewing of your mind. Make your mind new again. Renovate your mind. Are we together? There is always a new you that can emerge. There's always a better you that can come out. There's always a you better than the best that can come out. But you see, you have to wait for God to renew you. I get what I'm saying. Life might have made your talons old. It might have made your. Your feathers. Or it might have made your. Your talons bed, your feathers, your big bed. But God can allow for situations to make you go in the place of renewal. Renewal. When the evil wants to renew, it goes to isolation. When God isolates you is a period of renewal. When God puts you in the box. The period of renewal when God keeps you in the program. I remember there was a period where so alone. You know what it means to drive. I've always told them every time. I'm not ashamed to always say that. I would drive my car with my wife and my children from the house to the church, preach to them and drive back. I said, I've not seen this kind of my life. How can people be so callous to a man of God? We ran like that. I kept on doing it. I knew what it meant to be alone, preaching alone. And it was like, God, why are you locking me up? I remember one day I was on a Sunday morning. I ignited the car to do the usual Again. And as ignited the car, the radio came up and a man of God was preaching. I don't know who that man of God is. And I never know. I can't even recognize the voice. And he said, whenever you are alone and it looks like you are just alone with yourself. And God said, that is a period of revival. I cut that word. I can never forget it because it was a painful moment for me. When people make you feel that you are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are an outcast, you are ostracized just because you are preaching the truth, just because you are saving that in the word of God they hate you for say you preach to yourself. And I told them, I said, see, I preached to myself before and I thank God for the privilege of preach to myself again. The period of aloneness isn't pure, but he even has to be alone to do what he has to do. Renewal comes from aloneness. And then I'm saying, if you don't want to be alone, you can never be renewed love. Christians are so carried away with association. Association without divine association will make you an entity. And when God wants to make a man, it takes him to the cave. 2006 When I read my first book, there was a quote there. God makes men in the cave and showcases them through failure. He will take you to the cave. The evil has to go to be alone. Because in the place of aloneness, that's where you can actually make desperate decisions that will require discipline. You can only, you can only manage pain and make pain bring gain out of you. When you are alone, when in the crowd, you will never be able to manage pain. Yes, because there's somebody to talk to, there's somebody to to hang out with. And many people have used association to stop divine progression in your life. Oh, you are calling this person, you are calling that person, you are talking with this person. God is calling for you. I want you alone because your talons are old already, my child. Pray them say, God, no, I will die of hunger. God let me die of hunger. God says, no, your beak is already old, it's bed breaking. God say, he will say, no, God let me die. So long as I have some people that can be giving me. I know the truth about is the ego does not depend on another hunts for itself. It hurts for itself. It hunts for itself. You look at people are so dependent on people, but absolutely not not dependent on God. Discover that they keep looking for one person or the other. Am I against having relationship? No, I Believe in relationship, but you must be aff. Dependent on God and receive men when they come your way. Because if you are truly dependent of men, you will not be able to isolate when God needs you to isolate. I get what I'm saying. It was so serious that preaching, the preaching on. On the podcast for six years was like, are you sure I can still preach to other people? The point I said, are you sure? I remember in the human missions feed when the interpreter drove everybody from church, like, ah, okay, we have to leave them. And we just kept praying as a family on our own. And I remember I was invited to go and preach in the church. I said, but actually I can see, I was wondering, can I still preach? Because for months I have not preached. I get what I'm saying. I not preach. No. First thing that is by preaching, that makes you a preacher. No, it's by intimacy that makes you a preacher. Intimacy is what makes a preacher. No preaching. There's a lot of preachers, they are preaching and preaching and preaching at the end of the day, they are not preachers. And they are preaching at the end of the day. See, some of them, they're in dire situation. Some of them are depressed. Why? Because they are preaching to the people, but they are not intimate with the Lord. It's intimacy that makes you preach. Yeah. And I was asking God, are you sure I can still preach? I was thinking, can I still preach? Because I had not preached for three months or three months, four months. I was invited to go and preach in the church. My pastor friend, hey, God, you help me when I preach that Sunday. I remember that Sunday when I preached the Nigerian president of the Nigerian association in Congo. There they came to do Thanksgiving. Pastor Makinga's church and the Nigerian president of the association was there. Other presidents, other members of the association were there. And I preached. It was a very wonderful. I didn't shout. I hear. I'm saying, it's a beautiful teaching. When I was done and the regional pastor, his regional pastor came from the. The capital also. When I was done preaching, I didn't shout. It was just a beautiful preaching. And I was done teaching and preaching. Whatever. The president of the association came and he shook my hand because we were singing and dancing and he shouted in my ear. It was powerful. I was blessed. Glory to God. You know, I get what I'm saying. I'll be standing before the president of Nigeria Association Day. I'm like, that's wonderful. But I have not preached for a long time. Are we together? I have not preached and then after. Then he invited me to come preaching the program again. One week long. I preached seven days. The word was fresh, fresh. So good. So you are still working in me. I've not been preaching, so I can still preach after seven days. He told me, Pastor, the program is after 21 days. So if you want to take additional one week also you can take. I was like, no problem. I took an additional one week. So 14 days in a row preaching. And the people were going to their business sp they will run back from business, sit under the word of God, like wow, these are businessmen that they are too busy. But they run from business sport. And they come and sit down. And after the meeting, after the two weeks, his youth pres met me and said pastor, I need stay hungry. I said, program has finished. I finished preaching. I can't preach the weeks. But I never knew that they were still preaching in me. Are you get what I'm saying? But the preaching did not come by preaching. It came by intimacy. When God isolates you, it's because he wants to renew you. Waiting precedes isolation and isolation precedes another waiting. Because why isolation precedes renewal? Most of us want to be isolated, so we don't want to be renewed. I get what I'm saying. Glory to God forevermore. Hallelujah to Jesus. Amen and amen. So I just want to be catching on, catching on with people. I'm not against association, not against association. I'm going to be going for a meeting today. Not against association. But I know very well that my strength is not in association with men. My strength is in association with. No, I get what I'm saying. So I believe so much the principle of isolation with the Lord. I submit myself with pain. Are you getting me? There are animals that hibernate. Is that also Hibernation is an act of isolation. They will survive a period that's a hashisim. Are you getting what I'm saying? Simply by isolation, if you must survive hash seasons of life, you will want to isolate with God. For the evil to survive, it has to isolate because at that point it is vulnerable. Are you getting me? It has to isolate when no one can be. Every one of some of us can meet us, want UTAH meet us. We want to meet people. Even in your vulnerable state, you are still looking for association with men. Before they kill you, your vulnerable, they kill you. They take advantage of you. The powerful ego, the major, the tertiary predator. Is that also the predator that predates predator comes to a point of vulnerability. Every man comes to when you get to that point. The solution is isolation, not association with men. Many people have been taken advantage of because they didn't know the principle of isolation with God. I prefer to be isolated with God than to be predated by men. I prefer to be isolated with God and to be what predated by men. I supposed to have taught a lot of. A lot of things. But we are just still on this one. I think it's important because that's why we have a lot of messed up Christians today. We have called Christianity to a male association without function. So we just have associations. ABC denomination is an association. W, X Y no. So we have a lot of denomination that are actually associations. Us we don't know. When it comes to the power of God, it's not there. When it comes to the supernatural, you don't see I get what I'm saying. And then at the end of the day they will tell you we are all men. I was talking to somebody say you're all men. They all men. I said no. When you carry Jesus, there should be a difference from other men. You cannot carry yourself. You say you other. You all men. Like a non believer. So what's use of your Jesus inside? What be all men? As a believer, you transact business the same way. I don't believe, I transact. Don't carry Jesus inside. You don't need Jesus. They are all men. We are men. Then let us all be men. No need to be born again and go to where all men go to. You cannot put one leg in Jesus and put one leg in the world. You know it's not done. You want to be in Jesus, yet you want to be all men? No, it's not done like that. No. You know, you don't do things like that. Are we together? This is a very important thing for us. Waiting on the Lord. It comes with a custom. Waiting for the Lord, it comes. It's not cheap. Ain't cheap. No, it's not cheap at all. That's a lot of put all the way. When somebody tell you what the lord told me 10 years ago, that's when I'm still manifest. I talk to somebody. I said what we, what? What you intend to do? Nine years ago we came here, we tried everything. It was coming to not coming to not ask God what is happening without stress. God is doing that. Nine years. Why do you take that long? If I say supposed to be in the world, he should be a young man like me. I was speaking to an elderly man and he knew that this one is problem. He has. He has met problem. Why can a young man be talking like a midman member of preaching so well, after I finish, somebody told me, said there's a woman in the congregation. They asked him, this man, is he a young man or is he an old man? Because the obvious fact was that the words that were coming out were old men's words. But the physique, they are seeing his young man physique. That's what waiting does. It's not cheap, it's not sweet, but it's worth enough. Yeah. Over the years, I've not been afraid of isolation. Are you what I'm saying? Because God isolated me so much power now when I started the work of, I experienced isolation for months. Then also when everywhere I've gone, I've experienced isolation. I told you historic Nigeria. Isolation, PR to empty chairs alone, even in Congo. Isolation in this region of indicator. Isolation. It's part of it. It's part of my journey. I get what I'm saying. I want to know. A lot of. A lot of Israeli Christians have that they've not been used isolation. So when isolation form, they see it as a problem, but they see it as an evil. Isolation is not an evil. Isolation is the solution to premature extinction. Isolation is what solution to premature extinction? If the ego does not isolate, it will die at 30. Whether you can live to 70. I did not say praise God, Hallelujah to Jesus. Many people are extincted prematurely because they don't understand the principle of isolation. In business, in career, in relationships, in every field of life. People are extincted prematurely because you don't understand the principle of what? Isolation. God wants to put up the structure of isolation for you. You fight the structure. You fight it because it's God's business to put structure. It's our business to align to structure by what we call discipline. When God puts up the structure of isolation for you, you fight it. You look for me to fight it. Destroy, destroy, destroy. At the end of the day, say yes, I cannot be isolated. It's not a glory, it's problem. You are putting of themselves I cannot use. You are beautiful because that solution is important for you. That's where you enter the place of renewal. Are we together? That's why you become Igu. Praise the Lord. Favor. By virtue of this act, every inefficient and ineffective tool in the body of the igloo is removed. Why are Christians so ineffective, inefficient? Because we don't want to wait. We don't want Christ to wait. We don't want the pain that comes with renewal. So can a Christian give him a job to do? Ineffective, inefficient. Can a Christian give him a relationship, in effect inefficient? Before you say job, they have shown you that they are in effect. But he knows that if he continues with these tools. What are the tools? I remember the tallow, the feathers and the what? The beak. It cannot survive, it cannot live anymore. See, inefficiency and ineffectiveness, they are killer. Many people are dying not because they don't have tools, but because the tools are ineffective and inefficient. Being toolless is equal to having inefficient and ineffective tool. I get what I'm saying. Being toolless is same as having what? A ineffective, inefficient Tools. Obviously they carrying tools up and down. But the tools are ineffective, inefficient. And you still claiming you have to. You don't have to better yourself. The said the truth. See this standard. You can't walk again. I don't have color again. That's why I don't have color. It will manage to fly to the mountain without mandate with that feather. This feather you want this feather you will kill. You can't. You can't walk. Another thing about being renewed is telling yourself the truth. You only wait on the Lord when you don't tell yourself the truth. Lord, without you I can do nothing. John 15:5. But without me you can do nothing. When you tell God, God, without you I can do nothing. Tell yourself the truth. Those that are still giving themselves motivational talk. You will die with inefficient tools. Tell yourself, Lord, without you I can do nothing. Lord, I'm dead without you, Lord, these tools in my hand, they will be reason for my death. The reason for my death, Lord, I need you. Without you I am doomed. I'm dead. These tools cannot achieve nothing. There were times I told God. And when I still remember to do, I tell him. I said, but you're not very petty, Jesus. God, if it's by intentions, I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have suffer. Would have suffered the ministry like this. I get what I'm saying, Lord. You know, I'm not smart. Not even my smartest. I would have suffered what I've suffered this long with ministry, Lord, I'm not smart. I'm not intelligent. You see this, this prayers. My family don't know when I pray these prayers. They are isolated prayers. I get what I'm saying, but I'M not intelligent. Sorry if I'm telling you I'm not where I am intelligent, they are not here. They are not here. Intellectual far, far, far, far ahead of me. But I'm not intending if I'm smart, I'm not where I am. When I say that, I say God. You know, that is my. My brain cannot do this work at all. They can't do this work. You must tell yourself to come to a point where your life that without God, I am nothing. Without God, I can do nothing. Lord, all the tools I have are failing. In fact, they have failed. These talons can't grip anybody. Any, any prey again. These feathers can't take me high. This beak cannot eat again. Well, because when the talons grip, what happens? The beak they are punching the devices are. You get what I'm saying? The tools have failed. Lord, I need you. Are we together? We do have times where we know that everything we have is failed. We have a Christian some of the time. We need to. We want to motivate ourselves to keep doing nonsense when we are supposed to be telling ourselves we need the Lord. Are we together? So when the eagle goes through this, his strength is renewed. When it grows new tall, new beak, new feathers, his strength is what renewed. And it can live for another 10 years doing what is good at doing. The same thing happens for everyone who waits on the Lord. It's not an exciting process, are you what I'm saying? But it's a worthwhile process. Because when your new you comes and you begin to soar, it's going to be worth the wait. Man. So when we wait upon the Lord, we get new strength to live, to thrive and succeed. Why? Because he is in us and with us. We get new strength to work, to live, to thrive and to succeed. New strength comes. Somehow you just discover that there is new strength to come. To succeed again. The new strength to thrive again. Other things have not worked at the field, but there's new strength to come up and do again. That's what waiting on the Lord. New strength. Bible says the steadfast of the Lord never see them lamentation. Mercy never come. They are new every morning, new every moment. They new every month. And this newness of the mercies of God comes when we wait for them. You cannot see the new mercies of the Lord by rushing without God. You have to wait to see. I'm saying wait to see. We are in a world you will see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amen. These are not the kind of teachings I would love to hear. But these are teachings we have to teach. I get it. Because a lot of things say Christianity just they are playing wait to see. They can't rush and see the success comes afterwards. Wait, what is going. So what does it mean that we mount up on wings. Mount up with wings. What does it mean to mount up with wings? We're going to be looking at this. Mount up with wings, on and off wind walk and not faint. What does it mean? These are benefits the waiting of Jesus, waiting upon the Lord doesn't mean to mount up between it. Mount up is from the Hebrew word Allah. And Allah means to ascend. To ascend. Are we together? To ascend? It means to arise. It means to at once. So not just ascending, but ascending at once. Arise at once. Are you know what I'm saying? Have you seen the ego when he takes a prey, when he picks the prayer, you see that at once it goes up here. I get what I'm saying. That's why it's difficult, impossible to catch an ego. Are you getting me? Because as he's picking the prayer, what's happening is ascending at once, it's arising at once. It doesn't stay and watch the prayer first and watch area. No, even though that no time. Are you getting me? So there's this speed in ascension when you wait, it looks like you have wasted time. No, but what happens that when you get speed to ascend at once? That's what the plane explains to us. The plane looks like it's waiting when it is running on the wrong way. Building momentum. Building momentum. And when will you fly? The car's already gone. The car's already gone. Why? When will you. When will you get there? The car has already gone. But it's building momentum, is waiting. Waiting for the engines to pick well and everything to be in perfect shape for a flight. And when I said before is up there, I get what I'm saying. That's it flows. It means to break. Are we together? Means to break, means to carry on. It means to exalt. It means to excel. Means to excel. It means to increase. It means to leap, it means to lift. Are we together? It means to rise. It means to light up. Are we together? Means to still. Means to speed up, means to take away. Are we together. So this means that when we wait upon the Lord, what happens? We speak. We what? We spring up. Amen. We ascend up. Amen. At once we do this. We break through. Amen. We expel. Amen. We increase, we shoot forth and we shoot up. I Know nothing here. We recover. Yes, and we are exposed. The waiting is not wasted, sir. It looks like the waiting is wasting. But no, the eagle is restored, don't forget. His talents are restored. Is that not so? Its beak is restored. Its feathers are restored. When you wait, God will not allow you waste. He will restore you. He would cause you to recover overtime. Lost. It will cost you to enjoy again. Ah, glory to God forevermore. Wait. We b. That's what happens. All mantle. We spring up, we ascend up. We break. We excel. We increase. We shoot forth. We shoot up. We recover, we restore. And we dc Are we together? That means that we run and not get weary. What does it mean to run and not get weary? Run is from the Hebrew word roots. Roots are. You get what I'm saying? Roots. And roots means to run, especially to rush. It means to break down, to divide speedily. It means to bring history. It means to stretch out. Are we together? Viri is from the Hebrew word Yaga. And it means to gasp. Hence, to be exhausted, too tired, to toil, to faint, to labor, to be weary. This means that when we wait on the Lord, what happens in our endeavors? We will run and not gasp. Amen. I. Is it a 100m sprint runner? They don't gasp around. I get what I'm saying. When they finish, they start gasping. I get what I'm saying. We will run and no gasp for bread. We will run and not toil. Now it looks like we are toiling, but we will run that time without toil. We will run and not get tired. I will run and nothing. You see, waiting. Looks like you are not moving. I get what I'm saying. But when waiting is over, the first waiting is over. And the second waiting is over. The speed you attain, the beyond mind cannot be heard. Amen. And then we walk and walk. That's the second third benefit. We walk. And walking. It doesn't mean to walk and not faint. Walk is from the Hebrew word alak. And halak means to walk. And faint is from the Hebrew word yah. And yah means to faint, to be weary. So when we walk and not faint, it means that our ending force in our endeavors, in our life, everything we do would walk, taking our. You see, when you walk, you are talking with a short space of time. When you walk, you are talking about a long space of time. Are you getting what I'm saying? When you run, you're talking about a short distance, 100 meter. Are you getting me? Yeah. But when you walk, you're talking about A marathon. You know, there's. There's this marathon race when you do fast work. I get what I'm saying. The distance that the fast, the fast workers cover is far, far more than what a sprinter will cover. You get what I'm saying? In life there are sprints operations and their marathons operations. When you get to a marathon operation, you cannot be bullied. So there are some endeavors in life we just arouse. Once we just. We just attain the speed wars. Are you getting? There are some activities that endeavors in life when you done it. God doesn't expect to work. God is. And even with working people still get. Once you get tired when you come. I get what I'm saying. Once you get tired when they work. But when you wait on the loss. When you wait for the Lord are you get what I'm saying? When you're working, you not get. You just keep working. People wonder how come you are going for it is waiting that are we together? It's waiting and fasting. See this importance and benefits of waiting on the Lord cannot be. I mean, every one child of God has to focus on waiting on the Lord. We talk about waiting on the Lord most of the time the thing we take up is fasting. I get what I'm saying. Fasting is. I get what I'm saying. But waiting on the Lord is more than fasting. We've looked at that before all of our studies. Are you get what I'm saying? Then we just touch it again in due time. Are we together? You know, so that we can understand it. Waiting on the Lord is more than fasting. You can wait on the Lord without fasting on. Are you what I'm saying? You can wait on the Lord without fasting. Water are you get what I'm saying? You can wait on the Lord without even fasting, dry fasting or no pleasant bread. You can be eating and still be waiting. I get what I'm saying? Waiting on the Lord is a mental and soul disposition to say, I will not take a look until I hear your sin. So you can be eating and not moving in your mind. I get what I'm saying. You can be drinking water, eating and not moving in your soul. So it's a soul disposition of being still. Bible says still. I know that I'm volunteering as you cannot know ignorance as a result of lack of stillness. Bible says in quietness and confidence shall thy strength be. Are you getting me? It's a soul disposition. Recently I've been saying I want to see how God will Come through on this place. I want to see how God will come through now. I will just be still a couple of weeks. I heard my speech. All this rush, rush, rush, rush. You will not know babies. May I prepare you? For what? Lack of knowledge. Why is there lacking? Because we are not still. We are in a hurry. We are rushing. You can only know the law by being still. Are you getting me a disposition in your soul not to move even though your body is moved? Not to make this decision even though you are living your normal day? I get what I'm saying. Until you get the prompting from the Lord. And these benefits of waiting on the Lord have given us from Psalm 23, giving us from Isaiah 40, 31. They are just a tip of the iceberg. You can only enjoy them when you do it. Some of us are testimonial scriptures and we are still expecting more. Wait. Bible says wait on the Lord. Again I say wait. You want to ask the Lord for grace. To wait and to advise that grace. No matter the pains you are going through, you keep waiting because the Holy Spirit will suit you. No matter the price you have to pay to keep waiting. Because very soon the benefits will be showing forth to them. Lord, I receive grace in the magnificence in waiting. If you have never invited Jesus into your heart before to come be your life as your personal Lord and Savior, then please speak out these words of prayer to Jesus Christ now. Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that you came to this earth, you died for the sins of the world, cleanse the sins of all those who will believe in you and resurrected from the dead.
