Are we together? Somebody who tried to submit job, you saw him on Saturday in some kind of interview. By the next week, you see him with a poster.
He says, "Look, this thing has been there since I was a child. I I will answer the call of God. " And then after one year, I'm saying this with every sense of humility.
My phone is full of the text message of frustrated young preachers because they cannot understand this random ordination into things they are not prepared for. Young boys who don't know their left from their right simply because of the insecurity of leaders. You'll find one young boy somewhere saying I'm an apostle.
I'm a prophet. He's as confused as the title on him. Is the reason why people look at the church and just laugh at us.
We have brought dishonor to priesthood. It's not only sin and unrighteousness that brings dishonor to priesthood. our refusal to understand God's way and the maturity to create a world view.
No, sit with believers and talk with them and sometimes you are forced to be irritated. Is the reason why successful people have stopped going to church. You know why we are wasting their time.
We really are wasting their time. We carry our superstitious living derived from our insecurities. and you are talking to someone who is an employer of 5,000 people who loves the Lord with all his heart and you are teaching him foolish things from the Bible and the person is looking and say no no no I can't bring my wife my son is supposed to succeed me as the CEO I can't put this child under this pastor he would destroy his mentality we have young graduates coming from the finest universities in the world they come and sit down under us preachers and they're irrit imitated by the ignorance that we communicate week after week.
Many things we blame on demons is a product of lack of knowledge. And while there is a place for deliverance and prayer, sometimes you notice that once there are people who sit in church and while they watching the preacher, the preacher thinks they are being impressed by him, they are just looking at the level of ignorance. It's almost a cause for people to be successful because the church becomes a place that threatens their lives, threatens their businesses.
Now, please don't find this as an offense. This is just my perspective. I do not believe and you can you can prove me.
I do not believe that a church that consistently meets every day. Every single day there is service every single maybe during a special program. Yes.
But every day service on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, I'm sorry to say, take this as my opinion. I don't believe such a church will be truly apostolic. You cannot become great that way.
If you are having a season where you are raising and training young men, that's fine. They need to focus on consecrations and the rest because parents are paying their school fees. But where you have a married woman, a married man, they have no time for their children.
They have no time for their wives. They are failing on their jobs. They're having a bank to bank vigil every day.
Not a special program. The man goes to job by to work by 8 and he's sleeping. God see the church and the CEO dismisses him.
You call it a witchcraft attack. What is wrong with us? A young man gets up and says, "As proof of God's favor upon my life, I've listened to a message called disgrace God favor.
I will never apply for a job. " And yet you will see the result will come. And many are arrogantly being punished by the inconsistencies that have come from the pullpit.
Can I tell you the truth? As ministers of the gospel, we owe God an apology. We owe God an apology for some of the things that we have communicated.
I'm not saying this to downplay the church. Do not by any means look down on any man of God or any ministry. We are doing the best we know and hoping that God will help us.
That's why I said it is a god orained disruption. It is a god orained realignment. Can I tell you the truth?
There are many things that have happened in the church in the last 3 to four years. Some of it looks demonic. It is not demonic.
There is the hand of God in it. It began to shake people's mentality. It began to give people a reason to think because did you know we got to a point where with all due respect, members have become like zombies.
They don't listen again. No matter how stupid a thing is, once it comes from the pull pit, what you hear in response to it is amen. The faith life does not take away your brain.
Leave your wife in Jesus name. Leave your husband in Jesus name. Give me your car in Jesus name.
Become stupid in Jesus name. Amen. Everybody just shouts amen.
We freeze our brains as soon as we enter the church wall. But things are changing. I can tell you there is new wine that is coming to the body of Christ.
And God is intentionally disrupting status quo. Are we together now? You can always trust.
I will give you a balanced message. Follow on. There is still I I will make sure that I peg everything line upon line.
But important for you to appreciate the fact that there is a situation that needs an emergency response from heaven. I have tried to counsel people and I could not find where to counsel them because their ignorance has already their ignorance is like a container. The cover is pride.
Imagine somebody who comes as a vessel. The container is ignorance and the lid is pride and they asking for help. How do you help that person?
Now the moment you want to speak, he brings to you one message and you can always know where these things come from. Somebody has said something that is not correct. My greatest prayer as a man of God is that I do not program you into a failed life.
My greatest I tell you if you see me pray and fast for you, it is not just for more power. My greatest prayer as a man of God is that I don't use this privilege God gave me every time ministering to you. every day, every other day, someone is listening to my message that a generation does not perish because they gave attention to the things that I'm saying.
That's why I'm not ashamed to make adjustments. I'm not ashamed to grow. It is rather let one person say I'm sorry than a whole generation perish.
Hallelujah. When God began to lift me and I started interacting with global minds, kings, billionaires, kingdom people who God has lifted, I said something needs to happen to our sermons immediately because as I got to talk to these people, they came to me as a man of God with great respect. But some of them conveyed their disappointments.
For instance, some of them will say, "Apostle, we want to help believers, but the kinds of sermons they are listening to, it will make them dangerous in this company. " Because in this company, we operate, maybe for instance, is a cyber security company. We operate by the ability to preserve classified information.
And this man is not so trained because something about his mind makes him more loyal to some man of God than the principles that keep him as an employee here. And because of that we cannot risk the reputation of the company over the sentiments of religion. So the person cannot get the job.
Are we together? Only God knows how many people have it in their ordination to be lifted by God but they are not able to rise. How many young children I learned this do you know my greeting these children after the service and letting them just greet me.
It taught me so many things. I have seen the mindset of these children change. Some of them when they begun you could see the programming that came from their various families.
Some very confident, some very mediocre. Are we together? Sometimes when you are sharing little things for the children, you find out that some are grateful.
They pick it. They take the time to appreciate you. Others take it and want to still grab another one.
They are all revealing where they are coming from. The same thing happens to Christians. Even in weddings, we pray in tongues and as soon as we wrap up, you see Christians running and they go to steal this, to steal that.
The day we see Jesus bar, there will be two kinds of cries. Number one is the cry that finally this life is over and we are happy to meet our king. But the second kind of cry is when Jesus begins to edit for us the things we arrogantly claim he was the one who gave us.
Someone will look at his pastor, you know that last supper, that table, someone will eye his pastor from a distance, I'm just joking, and say, "See what you taught me. You stopped me from reaching a a richer and a fuller life. I was loyal to your sermon at the expense of my destiny.
Now let's look at a few things. Thank you Jesus. I wrote something here.
Listen carefully. Enjoying the best of God and walking in dominion demands that you build a spiritual and mental structure that is wholesome and formidable enough to receive what God is releasing. Let me take that again.
Enjoying the best of God and walking in dominion demands that you build a spiritual and a mental structure that is wholesome and formidable enough to receive what God is releasing. that if you want to enjoy the best of God and you want to walk in dominion among the many demands is that you must build a spiritual and a mental structure. The Bible calls it wine skin that is wholesome and formidable enough to receive what God is releasing.
So we have a wineskin problem. One of the major problems why we are not able to see the power of God, why we are not able to see the move of God in the way that we so desire, why the church has not come into territorial dominion. We have pockets of individuals but as an army we keep claiming our rising and it never happens is because there is a major wineskin problem.
Let me tell you what the problem is. Our prayer and our emphasis is for new wine without doing something about the wine scheme. So we are fasting for new wine.
Oh God come, let your power come. Let your glory move. Let the healing anointing be restored.
Let prosperity come to the church. Let increase come to the church. And we keep praying and fasting.
Our focus is on the new wine. But we seldom discuss the issue of the wine scheme. Here's what I wrote here.
The wine skin problem. Our prayers and desires have largely been more towards the arrival of the new wine, the new anointing, the new manifestation of prophecies with less emphasis on the condition of the wine skin. Our prayers and our desires have largely been towards the arrival of the new wine.
the new anointing, the manifestation of prophecies with less emphasis on the condition of the wine skin. The condition of the wine skin. The condition of the wine skin.
Most times we do not know that the wine skin matters. And when I talk about the wine skin for most believers, we focus only on the area of spirituality which is important, very important. Your consecration to God, your devotion to prayer, your devotion to the word, walking in holiness and righteousness.
But that is just one aspect. Something about our belief systems and our mentality refuses to bow to the lordship of Christ. Your spirit man has accepted the lordship of Christ, but your mentality, your thinking is yet to submit to the lordship of Christ.
The Bible says, "Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. " Here's what I wrote. Please write this down and listen.
If the wine skin, the wine skin meaning the structure you have put in place, your belief system, your orientation, the way you were taught about God. If the wine skin is bad, is small, is perforated or is inferior, God will have to delay the release of the new wine. Let me take that again.
If the wine skin, the wine skin meaning your mentality, your perspectives, the way you were taught, the engineering of your mind and so on and so forth. If the wine skin is bad, if the wine skin is small, if the wine skin is perforated or if the wine skin is inferior, God will have to delay the release of the new wine. This is true.
Many moves of God are not delayed just by demons. It is that the vessels that will host that move of God that apostolic manifestation of dominion. Most of the people have not been taught the mental component of carrying the glory is not yet programmed in many believers.
Here's what I wrote. God is looking for men who are yielded enough and willing to trade the old wine skins for a new superior wine scheme. I like this.
Let me repeat it again. God is looking for men. Coonia, hear me.
Body of Christ, hear me. God is not looking for preachers. God is not looking for apostles.
God is not looking for prophets necessarily. God is not just looking for revivalists. He's not just looking for career people.
He's looking for men and women who are yielded enough and willing to trade the old wine skin for a new superior wine skin. This is a burden that the Lord has been pounding to my heart that his hand can be made manifest over a territory within a short time. But it is because something about our programming, something about our belief system, something about the way we have learned God, something about the way we have used the Bible to look at the world is obstructing God's prophetic program for the nations.
Now listen to this very carefully. What the wine skin is not, I need to tell you what the wine skin is not. what the wine skin is not.
Because very easily, if you do not understand my sermon so far, you will think is an advocacy for rebellion, an advocacy, you know, to fight everything that is old. Let me tell you what the wine skin is not. So that if you find yourself as an embracer of these belief systems, don't mistaken it for wine skin.
You are under a unique attack. It is not a wine skin. The wine skin or the new wine skin is not a campaign of pride.
It's not a campaign of dishonor. It's not a campaign of self-righteousness. It's not a campaign of hatred among believers.
It's not a campaign of cannality. is not a campaign of universalism. That means embrace anything anywhere and it's not a campaign of overemphasis on intellect.
I'll take that slowly. Please write it down. The wines the new wine skin we're talking about here is not a campaign of pride so that people become full of themselves and say we are the only ones who know what God is doing in the now.
No, that is not new wine scheme. That is an attack. It's not a campaign of dishonor.
I can spend all night teaching about this. There's such an emergence of young people with such boldness. Boldness that is beyond the necessary, attacking everybody and everything.
You just need to say something. My shoe is brown. If I call it black by mistake, someone is ready to say no.
This shoe is brown. You see that now? And sometimes we call it boldness.
We call this standing for Christ as if God cannot defend himself. He's not an [Music] idol. It's a lot of childishness littering the internet, especially by young people who have not done much great potentials to their lives, but they will not settle down and learn God in a profitable way.
They keep destroying their future by rescheduling courses out of childishness. And it's very sad for those who sit down under this grace is listening to them. There's need for change.
There's need for growth. The level of immaturity among young or younger ministers is becoming alarming. Pride for nothing.
Everybody has is saying something. Once you have access to a YouTube channel, some Instagram page and there are people who enjoy being controversial because it's helping their growth. So it doesn't really matter to them what they are saying provided someone is listening.
We have to love God's program more than those displays of childishness. Hallelujah. So the new wineskin is not a campaign of pride.
If you find yourself in advoc in in advocating the call for a new wine skin, the moment you see pride in that equation, know that you are on your own. It's not a campaign of pride. The moment you begin to look down on another, that's why I took the time to tell you some of these issues we pointed out is not to look down on others.
No, not at all. We are all products of God's mercy and his grace. Are we together?
Number two, it's not a campaign of dishonor. Anybody who has to use the tool of dishonor to announce the new that God is doing, I'm telling you, you are not working in the will of God. God will never use dishonor, he will use disruptions but not dishonor.
If I have to insult the fathers of faith to show that we are seeing higher. If I have to insult every pastor to show that we are having I if I have to insult every other church to show that coonia is doing well then something is wrong. Something is is wrong with that method that pathway and there is need for a reversal and a re-editing immediately.
Are we together? The path of dishonor cannot birth the glory of God. Here is where I have an instruction in righteousness for young ministers.
I pray that as many will have the chance to listen to me. I speak to you in love and by the privilege of the help of God. Nobody wins following the path of dishonor.
Not to fathers, not to contemporaries, not to subordinates. The path of dishonor will eventually hunt down your pride. Dishonor does not sell God in a way that is desirable by the nations.
A new wine skin is not a campaign of self-righteousness. Self-righteousness holier than thou. Every other person is a sinner except me.
Every other person is a sinner except us. Any other person is not is know all that is absolute nonsense. Is the pathway of losers.
You don't follow that way in the spirit. Our sufficiency. The Bible says, are we together?
Listen. As a believer, keep this as a code for the rest of your life that by the works of the flesh, no man can please God. It is not an endorsement for lensiousness, but it is a call to realize that if you ever find yourself walking the path of holiness and true righteousness, then you have been helped by the mercy of God.
Now, there is a price to protect your consecration, but self-righteousness will always lead to a failed people. That's why the church is full of all kinds of pretense. People who are dying from several things but carrying the coat of religion to cover it for the sake of their reputation.
How about canality? Here is a balance. There are many young people who have insulted everything.
When they see believers fasting, they laugh old school. When they see believers praying, they laugh. Old school.
There's no demon anywhere. Only the demon in your brain. Save Johnny.
The day you meet a real one, you will know the difference between brain and demon spirits. Are we together? There are young people who have the audacity to invite.
I mean, you see all kinds of things. You see a ministry like MFM for instance doing power must change hand leading people to pray and you laugh them to scorn and say you know what these guys are just shouting demons demons die. Don't worry, you are growing.
Save journey. I pray that the day your emergency arrives, there will be someone kind enough to help you. Thank you, Jesus.
Onia, blessed are your ears for these that you hear. Blessed are your ears. Blessed are your ears.
I'm telling you self-righteousness the body of Christ is full of self-righteous people and you know I find it very interesting sometimes this subject of self-righteousness is very funny everybody chooses the area where they are morally right that becomes their area of emphasis then they downplay where they think there is a problem are we together so if you have problem with lust or women or men you usually will shove it and talk about corruption There's corruption in this nation. Then the one who doesn't have problem with men or women and has problem with pride and lies and the rest will now say you know what immorality is bad. Everybody chooses their area of strength and becomes their sermon.
[Music] One more time. [Music] The man of God who quietly collected bribe when he's teaching about moral excellence he will not mention bribery. The one who has been eyeing women and men when he's talking about morality he will narrowly move away from the issue of women and men.
Are we together? The one who has covetousness. So people choose their area of moral strength.
I'm showing you the vanity of self-righteousness. Anybody who knows God and understands the state of the fallen man will approach the issue of moral excellence and holiness ever recognizing the mercy of God. Don't get into that campaign of of self-righteousness.
Many have done it to their detriment. Many did it and they thought they were standing for 20 years and by the 21st year they fell like a pack of card. When you see the fathers crying out mercy when I see men like our father in the Lord that did you will come and kneel down in his age and you see him shouting as if God does not help me I'm wondering my God a man who has attained such stability in the spirit will dare to look as if he's self-sufficient.
What gives a young man pride? You've not seen 1 billion. You've not seen 10 billion.
You've not been persecuted. A whole nation has not decided to bring you down. If one guy wants to bring you down, one lady wants to bring that that's that's a temptation that you can overcome.
But when a government says we will bring you down, it takes the power of God to keep you. Many young people have not gone anywhere and you see people standing talking nonsense. Most of those people you see the day you give them 10 billion 1 billion their sermons will change sometimes poverty makes you believe that you are you are you are all right.
It's not true. It's not true. It's not true.
It's not true. As your life begins to upgrade your compromises become more doable. Are we together?
Many compromises are very expensive. That's why many people don't do it. It's not that they are free from them.
It's that they cannot afford to do it. The day you become a CEO, you've never gotten your visa stamped. You've never gone to the beach where you see people moving around with bikinis.
So you think you are holy and righteous. Save Johnny. With that increase, you go one day somewhere and you are the only one who is not all right in that That's the day you know that you really need to go back behind the cross.
That that your thing of thinking you were resistant to temptation is just that you have not risen to a level, a horizon in life is not tested your sense of holiness yet. Hallelujah. Some young guy comes and says he loves you and you say, "No, I reject that temptation.
" How much does he have? Wait until the day you meet the person who can change your life forever. That's the day you say no with tears in your eyes.
You can go back and say, "God, from today I know I fear you. I fear you. " I hope you are learning.
The body of Christ is full of commentators who have not risen to a point where they see the possibilities that come with certain temptations and they can easily run their mouth on ministers, run their mouth on people. Doesn't work that way, sir. But you see, waiting is one of the things that we never ever do.
It's one of the hardest things. It's the space between the promise and the fulfillment. In the season where prayers feel unanswers, unanswered, where doors seem locked, where time keeps moving, but nothing seems to be happening.
And if you ever been in the waiting room of a hospital, a job interview, or life itself, you know, it can be quiet. It can be tense and uncomfortable. But I came to remind you today, your weighted is not wasted.
Yes, that season where it feels like God is silent. He's actually working behind the scenes. That time that nothing seems to be moving, God is rearranging things for your good.
You may not see it. You may not feel it, but trust me, God wasted nothing. Think about Abraham.
God promised him a son at 75. and Isaac's job up until 25 years later. 25 years of waiting, 25 years of counting, 25 years of expectancy, of watching the calendar flip, of wondering if the promise was real, right?
Of of listening to what the negative things that people are saying already. But in that weight, God wasn't idle. He was building Abraham's faith.
He was preparing Sarah's heart. He was setting the stage for a miracle that would bless generations. When the time came, God fulfilled his word.
Because God is never late. He's always intentional. Psalm 27:14 says, "Wait on the Lord.
Be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart. Then strengthen the weight, dearly beloved. Then shape it in the silence.
God's purpose in the box. Maybe today you are waiting. You're waiting on healing.
You're waiting on that promotion. You're waiting on that on that um answer from God, right? You're waiting on a breakthrough.
You're waiting on a direction. You're waiting for the right man. You're waiting for the right woman and a spouse on restoration.
Right? And you're losing faith already. You're thinking, "Is this going to happen at all?
I'm not going to get an answer or something. And you're just there. You're letting those negative words come to you already.
You're you're listening to what other people are saying. And maybe the enemy has whispered that nothing is happening. But I want to declare to you today, I want you to declare today.
I want you to say it out loud that my waiting is not wasted. Because even in the waiting, God is God is maturing you. God is building you, right?
God is proning you. God is preparing the blessings. He's not just preparing you, preparing the blessings, right?
He's also preparing you to receive the blessings, right? Sometimes it's not the waiting is not about what is coming. It's not about what you want to receive from God or what you've prayed to him about.
It's about who you're becoming. Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they that are going upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as what?
Eagles. " Eagles don't fly. They soar.
And you don't get wings in the rush. You get wings in the weight. Let's think of a pregnant woman.
She doesn't see the baby yet. But inside, life is forming. She feels the kids, the stretching, the change, and though she can't rush the process, she just trusts that what's growing in her will be worth the wait.
So dearly beloved, that is your life right now. Something is growing in you. A vision, a column, a testimony.
Please don't abort it by rushing it. Let it shape because when God finally brings it forth, it will be beautiful. I I tell you, it's been beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He makes all things beautiful in its time. " So don't let comparison make you think that God forgot you. I know it should be hard sometimes.
Right? But don't let comparison make you think that God has forgotten you cuz he has not forgotten you. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen at all.
The game is not denial. Sometimes God is just saying not yet. But soon, right?
So, what should you do while you wait? That is a question that most of us might be asking, might be it might be running through our minds. What you should do while you wait is you should worship.
You should walk in obedience. Worship. Sing to him.
Praise his name. Walk in obedience. Study the word.
Keep sowing. Keep serving. And keep trusting.
Right? Because in God's timing, waiting is never equals to wasting. I pray that the Lord help us, gives us the courage, gives us the strength and the direction to go through this season in Jesus name.
Amen. If this message makes you in a season of waiting, in a waiting season, do something right now. Write like this video if you're choosing to tr trust God in the delay.
