TEXT: ISAIAH
60:1
We worship the Lord! Give Him all
Glory, Dominion and Honour. His Dominion shall be an everlasting Dominion. For
He is the Alpha, the Omega; the Beginning and the End. The First and the Last.
The One who was, the One who is, the One who is to come. Immortal, Invincible,
the Only Living, the Only Wise God.
Guess what? In Him we have our
being! He is our Eternal Excellency. Our Joy of many Generations. For He is the
One that sits in Heaven and makes the earth His footstool! When He speaks, it
is done. When He commands, it is established.
Young People make some noise to
the Owner of Life, the Giver of Life and the Giver of every good and perfect
gift. Jehovah Nissi is His Name. Jehovah El Shaddai is His Name. He is the
Indomitable Jehovah. He is the Indomitable Alpha, He is the Indomitable Omega.
He is the Indomitable Warrior. He is the Giver of every Good and Perfect Gift.
For In the beginning God created
the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Guess what? You are the Light of
the world. You are the Salt of the earth. You are the one He placed on the
earth. For the Bible says: “From the rising of the sun, to the going down
of the same; Let the Name of the Lord be praised”.
It is a good thing to give thanks
unto Thee, and to sing praises unto your Name oh Most High. To show forth your
loving kindness in the morning and your faithfulness in the night. Upon an
instrument of ten strings; upon a Psaltery and upon the Harp. Oh Lord, how
great are your works
… A foolish man does not
understand it. And I know you are not foolish RCCG Young People!
It is time to bless the Name of
the Lord. For “from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same;
the Lord’s Name is to be Praised”. Enter into His Gates with thanksgiving
and into His Court with Praise. Be thankful unto Him at all times, and bless
His Name. For the Lord He is God, it is He who has made us and not we
ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Therefore, the Psalmist says:
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and
the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and
Mighty, the LORD Mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift
them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this
King of Glory?
…Let me hear you say: THE LORD OF HOSTS!
Redeemers make some noise…
Indomitable Young People, make some noise! If you know that the Lord’s enemy is
unable to dominate you; because you have been created for Dominion; you have
been created to take over. Wherever you are, say: I am Indomitable – I AM
INDOMITABLE!
Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord! I have come to understand that the shouting side is the winning side.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
I believe this morning the Bible
says: “the eyes of the Lord is moving through all the earth; He is looking
for someone on whose behalf He will show Himself as Indomitable. And I believe
that there is GPS in Heaven. That GPS has located Planet Earth. And on Planet
Earth He located a Continent called Africa. And in Africa He located a Nation:
a Western Nation you can call Nigeria. And in Nigeria He located a State called
Lagos. In Lagos, just between Lagos and Ogun State, He has found a Camp called
the Redemption Camp. And in the Redemption Camp He can hear so many people
screaming. But somebody needs to get God’s Attention; If you are that person;
Make an Holy Ghost crazy NOISE!
Hallelujah!
OPENING
PRAYER: We bless your Name oh God. All these are about You. All these are
for You. You are all we have and You are all that we are. You are the Architect
of the Universe. You are the Supreme Majesty that reigns from eternity to
Eternity. Undisputable Champion! No man voted you in, no man can vote you out!
You are not a Political Figure; but you are the POLITICAL AUTHORITY. You are
the Indomitable. Your Power is Incomprehensible. Your Ability is
Unquestionable. And so we salute your Majesty this morning! We salute your
Supremacy this morning.
And pray that from now on; that
you would rend the Heavens, and you would come down, that the mountains might
flow down at thy Presence. As when the melting fire burns, the fire cause the
waters to boils; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the
Nations may tremble at thy
Presence! When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down,
the Mountains flowed down at your Presence. For since the beginning of the
world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eyes seen,
Oh God, beside you, what you have prepared for your Indomitable Young People.
This morning, we come for Authority;
we come for Ability, we come for Power, we come for Knowledge, we come for
Information. Open our ears that we will hear. Open our eyes that we may see.
Open our minds that we may receive the Mandate to be “INDOMITABLE
POLITICAL YOUTH”.
In the Name of the Father, in the
Name of the Son, in the Name of the Holy
Ghost. In Jesus Name we have Celebrated God – Amen!
Now, put your hands together for
the Lord; put your hands together for the Lord. Hallelujah! And God bless you –
Amen.
You may please be seated
majestically in the Presence of the Lord.
It gives me great Honour and a
privilege to stand on this exalted Altar of the Lord and to bring a Message to
you; that I believe is a Message in Season and is the Message in Time!
I want to celebrate of course,
our Father, our Mentor, our Leader, our Coach; an Indomitable Figure in this
time that we live in. Our Father, Pastor E.A. Adeboye. And of course, our Mummy
Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye. For the great work they are doing and they have
done in the last many years.
And all the Men of God that have
created this Platform for us to express ourselves, and the Young People in the
The Redeemed Christian Church of God. And of course, the entire Leadership of
the Youth and Young Adults of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. I celebrate
all of you, for all the great works that you are doing.
I am deeply honoured and humbled
to stand here and bring a message to all of us.
And I believe strongly; and I always say this everywhere I go, that:
“I am a proud product of The Redeemed Christian Church of God”. I gave my life to Christ in The Redeemed
Christian Church of God. I did my Baptismal Class in The Redeemed Christian
Church of God. I did my Foundation Class, did my Workers in Training and I have
been a Worker for over Twenty (20) years in The Redeemed Christian Church of
God. I am a Proud Product of this Platform and this End Time Movement that God
has committed into our hands.
And so this morning as I bring
the message to you on: “INDOMITABLE POLITICAL YOUTH”; I believe
strongly that we stand at a point in history, and we well stand as a tragedy in
a time where our Nation desires a new kind of Ideology and a new kind of
Movement. And a new kind of thought that can shape and transform; not only in
Nigeria, but the entire Africa. Because I personally believe that if Nigeria
succeeds, Africa will succeed. And I believe if Africa is succeeding, the whole
world will succeed. I personally believe that The Redeemed Christian Church of
God plays a Pivotal Role. We play a very strategic Role in the future of this
Nation.
And so, everyone under the sound
of my voice this morning or reading right now; because you belong to this
House: “you play a Pivotal Role in the future of Nigeria”.
And so this morning, it’s important
that you listen (or read) attentively. It’s important that you hear (read) what
God has to say to us. Because I have come to understand that: “Unless
wisdom begins to speak; foolishness will continue to take precedence”.
It is only when foolishness begins
to come in contact with wisdom that it begins to back off!
Corruption will never disappear
unless the incorruptible seed is planted. I believe very strongly that you will
never know the value of water unless you are thirsty. And so am not surprised about
what is going on in and around us. “Everywhere is fully politicized right
now.”
And that is ok, because I know;
the Bible says in Isaiah 60: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”
… It is when darkness is
thickest that Light will have a meaning.
So, I came here to tell somebody
this morning: “This is your time to Arise and your time to Shine!”
The Scripture also says: You are
a Salt – to preserve. And you are a Light – to show direction in the world.
So I believe very strongly that
this is your time to Preserve; and this is your time to Arise and show
direction to Nigerians where we must go. I know that this is a Season for the
sons and daughters of Issachar; who must understand the times and must be able
to tell Nigerians where we must go. You must be able to tell the Church where
we must go. I believe strongly that this is the time for the Prophetic Move of
God to begin to find expression!
But you see, I have come to
understand that the Testimony of Jesus Christ is the Testimony of the Spirit of
Prophecy.
Oh! I do know that this is the
time to say: ARISE Young man; ARISE Young woman. Your Season is NOW! This is
the time, you know; when Political Tables are shaking. Political Empires are
shaking. What a Time to be born in Nigeria! It’s so exciting, because I know in
the next few years some of you here are going to be taking Positions that you
never imagined or dreamt you could take. Simply because God is “Shaking
Tables”. He is shaking the shakeables. The ones that have never been
touched before. Empires are been shaken. So you must Arise and position
yourself.
Say to your neighbour; Position
yourself – POSITION YOURSELF!
And so this morning, I will be
speaking to you; and we will be discussing on:
1. Dissecting The Importance Of
Exercising Political Dominion;
2. We will discuss Political
System and its Relationship with Kingdom Advancement;
3. We will Analyse Strategies for
Exercising Political Dominion.
And I love this Theme:
“INDOMITABLE”; because it’s such a Powerful Word, especially coming
at the back of our Convention, where we obtained DOMINION.
To live a life that is
“INDOMITABLE” is extremely important. But you see, it is important
that we know that it is not only Spiritual Dominion that we need. Yes, you can
dominate spiritually; but I have met many people who carry tremendous
“OIL” (Anointing) and they are extremely poor: because nobody has
taught them FINANCIAL DOMINION.
You see, you can be anointed yet
not fulfilling potentials. Simply because nobody has shown you “ANOTHER
DIMENSION IN YOUR ANOINTING”.
There are several dimensions to
Anointing. And so there is: Financial Dominion, there is Spiritual Dominion,
there is Economic Dominion, there is Political Dominion.
When it comes to Nations, you can
have Spiritual Dominion and not have Political Dominion. Thank God for our
father in the Lord, who understands that “A Movement is not complete by
just building a Spiritual wall”. No wonder he stood on this Platform and
said in January, that: “Every single one of us should join a Political
Party”. People don’t understand what he means; but believe that maybe he
just wanted to get you excited.
It is an understatement that we
need, as a Church; “Spiritual Dominion and Political Dominion”. When
we combine these two (2) Armies; you are Unstoppable. You become INDOMITABLE!
So, when you pray in the Holy
Ghost and you enter into a Party System; they have no choice than to listen to
you. Because your wisdom is beyond the wisdom of man.
That is what made the difference
in Joseph. Joseph did not become number two (2nd in Command) in Egypt because
he was “Anointed”. NO! The Anointing helped him to interpret the
dream; but when he got there, he created what I like to call: “The First
Economic Policy for Transformation of the Land of Egypt!” And handed it
over to Pharaoh. When Pharaoh read this Economic Policy Document, he had no
choice than to say to Joseph: even though you are twenty nine (29) years going to
be thirty (30) years; nobody carries a Spiritual Mandate. He said:
“Because your God we will serve”. Also, nobody carries a Political
Mandate more than you. Therefore, “Joseph, enter into my Palace and become
my Number two (2)” man.
I have come to speak to a Young
Person here today; and you might think all you need is just “This
Oil”; “This Oil must flow”. But you see, let me tell you
something: “… A Government Policy can shut down ten thousand (10,000)
Churches in one day!”
If you don’t believe me, go and
see Nations where people are Anointed and they are dripping with Oil; but they
cannot set up a church Publicly. If you don’t believe me, go and see where
people are worshipping underground, because of Government Policies.
Therefore, it is important that
our Dominion must be in two (2) Phases: it must be both Spiritual and
Political.
And please, let me also tell you
that every time a Nation is in crisis; (you might need to write very fast
because am going to speak very fast – I have a long way to go and a short time
to get there).
Every single time a Nation is in
crisis, God responds in two (2) ways: God either responds Divinely, or you may
call it “Divine Intervention”. Or God also responds Politically. God
will either responds Divinely or God responds Politically.
What God did for Joseph was not a
Divine Intervention; it was a Political Intervention that happened in Egypt.
What God did when He took Moses
through the Red Sea out of Egypt; the Red Sea couldn’t have been opened by a
Political Movement, or by a Political Might. It had to be Divine! So God
combined Moses Political Engagement with Pharaoh; and combined it with Divine
Intervention to take then out of the Land of Egypt.
So two (2) Ways that God can
respond; since we don’t have control of Divine Intervention. Yes, we can birth
Divine Intervention Spiritually; because we can pray! But you don’t know
whether God will answer. And you don’t know how long it will take God to
answer.
By the way, I do know that there
are other people representing Nations from across Africa here today. Our
problem in Nigeria is not unique to Nigeria. So it is unique to Africa. So if
you take the content of today; you take it to your Nation, it can work.
So because we are not in control
of Divine Intervention; we can only pray that God answers.
But we can be in control of
Political Intervention If you agree with me, let me hear you say: Yes – YES!
And so, let me give you examples
of Political Interventions that were created:
1. Joseph’s emergence, like I
said; was Political Intervention – Genesis 41:11. And the Bible also says in
Exodus 1:8; another counter Political Intervention came into place – “Now
there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” So you might
think that because we gained Political Intervention once, that it will always
remain. NO! There will always be counter intervention.
2. God planted Moses and trained
him in the house of Pharaoh, because he was a back-up plan for Joseph. Because
God knew ahead that a king will arise that will not know Joseph. So He had
already planted Moses, after Joseph; to go into the Palace of Pharaoh – Exodus
2:10 (you will see the account there).
Moses was sent to confront
Pharaoh – “Let My People Go!” He said it forty two (42) times –
“Let My People Go” from Exodus Chapter 6 to Exodus Chapter 11 – Six
(6) solid chapters of going back and forward.
… If you read that; that was
Political Movement.
3. The emergence of David in 1
Samuel 16; the Bible says that Samuel came to Anoint David as king. That was a
Political Movement. David’s confrontation of Goliath was not a Divine
Intervention on David’s side. It was a Political Engagement. David stood and
said: “Who are you that defile the Army of Isreal?” It was a
Political Engagement!
Of course, God then applied
Divine Intervention to ensure that “One Stone” could fly and enter
the face of Goliath and put him down.
… When you make a Political
Move, as a Spiritual child of God; Heaven stands still, responds and back you
up!
4. And so, the Placement also of
Esther; in the Book of Esther 4:14. Mordecai said to Esther: “For if thou
altogether holdest thy Peace at this time, then shall their enlargement and
deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s
house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?”
I bring a message to somebody
today; an Indomitable Young Person in The Redeemed Christian Church of God:
“What if you were born into Nigeria; what if you were sent to Kenya; what
if you are been planted in Egypt for Such a Time as this?” And so he said
to Esther: You must engage the King Politically.
5. Daniel and the Hebrew boys was
a Political Engagement – Daniel Chapters 2, 3 and 4 (read the account); it was
a Political Engagement. Daniel served under four (3) Babylonian Governments.
And it was recorded of Daniel that he
was: “More Excellent than all his brethren”.
6. Cyrus Anointing: Cyrus
Anointing was Political! The Book of Isaiah 45:1-4; God looked around, He could
not find anybody to use. Cyrus was even a Pagan King, who didn’t know God. But
God needed a Political Intervention: He called Cyrus and said: “Thus saith
the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue
nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the
two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;” Verse 4 is a Landmark
Statement: “Even though you have not known me…”
So it means that even when God
wants to make a Political Move; He can use a “HEATHEN” to achieve His
Agenda.
… Let me try and break through
Religion a little bit.
7. Jesus’ Leadership was both
Divine and Political. You see, Yes! Heaven sent Jesus to die for our sins.
That’s why the Bible says that: “If the prince of this world had known;
they would not have crucified the King of Glory”.
But His Movement in the Land of
Israel was challenging the Powers that be. Because Caesar was the only king in
the land. But Jesus was been referred to as “THE KING OF THE JEWS”.
… That was Political!
i. Jesus built such a Powerful
Movement that the people didn’t need the Government for Health Care System any
longer; Because He was HEALING the Sick!
ii. The people didn’t need the
Government for food anymore; because Jesus was running a Social Enterprise that
was working – Feeding five thousand (5,000) people with five (5) loaves of
bread and two (2) fishes.
Can you imagine such a Political
Dynamite! Such an Indomitable Figure!
iii. The people, they don’t need
the Government anymore, to do rehabilitation; Because Jesus Christ was
“Casting out demons”.
He combined His Divine
Establishment, or Divine Authority with His Political Authority. And then, He
started to drive a Powerful Force.
I came to speak to every Young
Person in the Redeemed Christian Church of God; “The Time has come to lead
the Church”. You have received enough OIL; you have received enough Anointing.
They have lay hands on you enough; that you are even ” loosing your
hair!”
It is time to go out; be the
Light of the WORLD. NOT the Light of the Church. It is time to go out and
dominate.
Matthew 27:27; they inscribed on
Jesus’ Cross and said: “JESUS, KING OF JEWS” – Political Statement!
8. And then, the Landmark
Scripture; Ephesians 6:12 – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
These are Political statements! I
will analyse “POWERS” for you shortly; so that you will understand.
So this Scripture was putting
Spiritual Powers and putting it on the same platform with Political Powers. But
at this time, we will focus on the Spiritual Power alone.
And very quickly, let me just
talk through, so that you will understand. And please I need you to take as
much Information down, as possible. Because the Bible didn’t say “my
people die for Power”; it did not say they die for lack of Anointing. It
did not say they die or perish to lack of Money. It says that: “My people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge… “Information
will set us free.”My people perish because they don’t have INFORMATION!”
So there are different Systems of
Government. The preferred Mode of Government for God is that: God is a
“Kingdom God.” What did I say? GOD IS A KINGDOM GOD!
God likes the idea of a Kingdom.
He is the King of kings. So He rules! He likes that. But the world has changed
the System of Government; they changed it from Kingdom largely to what we now call
“DEMOCRACY”. So they have “Democratize” everything.
Everybody has a say: you are voting, you are collecting PVC’s (and I am coming
to PVC’s shortly). Collecting PVC’s and all of that.
And under this Democratic
Government, you have Confederations, you have a Unitary System. (I won’t have
time to go into some of them). But I will tell you the ones that apply to us:
– The Federal or Federalism; then Republic (am
zeroing it to Nigeria).
The Republic is a state in which
the Power of the Central Government is restricted. And in which the components:
States, Colonies and Provinces, retain a degree of self-government. Ultimate,
sovereign powers rest with the voters who chose them; Government
Representatives (which is what we practice in Nigeria).
Now hear me, hear me very well,
in other to be Politically Indomitable, please hear this; we must examine also
the Spiritual Landscape and evaluate the influence and operation of Satan and
his hosts; on the Political Processes and Institutions. This will be a
safeguard for us as we prepare adequately for the engagement.
Now, because I said I want to
give Information; a lot of time I have heard people ask me before, that you
know: “Why is it that Christians don’t do all of these in Politics?”
We do so well in Church Planting. But why is it that when we get into
Government; it’s either we are not performing at all or that we are just restricted;
Why?
And a lot of time, I personally
believe it’s because of the lack of INFORMATION: that will prepare us before we
go in. And unless you are prepared with information, you can’t be Indomitable!
So, first is to understand that
the Earth, the world has been given to Satan to rule. You need to understand
that!
The Bible says in Luke 4:7; Satan
took Jesus, took Him on top of a building and said; look at the entire world,
look at the Glory of the earth. He said: “If thou therefore wilt worship
me, all shall be thine.”
You cannot handover what you
don’t have! So, Satan has authority on the world’s kingdom. He is referred to
as the “Prince of the world”.
I want to give you information,
so that we can apply the information to say, how do we go from here:
i. Satan is the Ruler of the
kingdom of the Earth – Ephesians 2:2.
ii. Satan is the Prince of the
world – John 16:11.
iii. The whole world lies under
his (Satan) control – 1 John 5:19.
… Let’s not shy away from this;
the Bible says he roams to and fro the earth, looking for whom to devour.
So Satan has, and because he has;
then he has Agents!
Who are the Agents? So you have
invincible Forces that are in operation:
1. Saul was tormented by Satan;
even though sent by God to torment him – 1 Samuel 16:14.
2. The Prince of the kingdom of
Persia. These are serious Powers in Greece – Daniel 10:12-13.
Daniel prayed for a long time and
the Angel said: your prayers had been answered twenty one (21) days ago; but
the Prince of the kingdom of Persia withheld me. Withstood me for twenty one
(21) days. These are Powers!
3. God sent an Evil Spirit to
Abimelech – Judges 9:23.
4. Human beings who refuse to
acknowledge God are tormented by the Powers that are on earth – Roman 1:18-32.
5. Satan’s Agenda is to lead the
whole world astray; we know that. He said this somewhere – Revelation 12:9;
23:8.
…The plan of Satan is to
control Political Power. Please understand that!
This is where am landing: THE
ULTIMATE AGENDA of Lucifer. And once you understand this, then you will be able
to understand whether you even want to engage in a Political Process or not.
The Ultimate Political Agenda of
Satan is to: “CONTROL POLITICAL POWER”. Because if he has controls of
the Political Power and the Process; he then will determine who gets Power and
who does not get Power.
And who knows; like they say
“Power corrupts, and Absolute Power corrupts ABSOLUTELY!’
So he ensures that people who
will use the Power are the people who will use the power; “Not for the
kingdom of this world to become the Kingdom of God: But for the kingdom of the
devil”.
… And so, this is why we must
be conscious; we must wake up.
We have noticed an incident in
the Bible where Jeroboam inherited thirty (30) Tribes of Israel and in other to
keep the hearts of the people away from Rehoboam, king of Judah and from
Israel; he committed an abomination and laid a solid foundation of IDOLATRY for
subsequent Rulers.
Am giving you these foundations
so that you will understand what it means really for a Political Dominion. So
that by the time you will be engaging in Politics, use the information.
He built two (2) cows in Bethel
and Dan. He declared that the Cows were the gods who brought them out from
Egypt. He prevented the ordained Levites. You see, when somebody that is evil
gains Political Powers. Levite’s – the Choir, the Priests would not be permitted
to minister.
… That’s what happens when
people who should not be in control of Power are in control of Power!
He said, and appointed just
anyone to the Priesthood! Built shrines; demons inhabited idols thereafter. You
can find the account in 1 Kings 12:25-33.
… I am running very, very fast.
Please stay with me.
Consequently, successful Kings
after him, no matter how good they were; they all committed SIN! Because of
Jeroboam’s Idolatry: Nadab committed sin
– 1 Kings 15:26; Zimri – 1 Kings 16:19; Omri – 1 King 16:26; Ahaziah – 1 Kings
22:52; Jehu – 2 Kings 10:29; Jehoshaphat – 2 Kings 3:1.
Since some Power Seats had been
dedicated to Satan. It’s as simple as that!
And for it to change, we must
ARISE! Say Arise – ARISE! Say it like you mean it; say Arise – ARISE!
Let me quickly talk to you about
the: The State, the Government and the Governed.
It will be expedient if
Christians fully understand the relationship between the State, the Government
and the People; so that the right efforts and resources – both Financial and
Spiritual: are directed towards the right quarters.
… So that we know how we spend
our money.
Once we understand this different
structures…; let me define this. Please if you miss anything from everything
am saying today; don’t miss what am about to say. This is critical:
“The State is the embodiment
of our collective Sovereignty and it remains an enduring entity in our
Sociopolitical and Economic Apparatus”.
… The State is so critical.
You must understand what I mean
by the State. And I I will explain it to you: “It forms the bedrock upon
which the System operates; and has its own character”.
The State has a character. The
State has a nature. The State is interested in different other occupants of the
System. Most Christians spend tremendous energy on the Office of the President.
We always say: Oh! Go for the Office of the President. Contest for the Office
of the President and the Presidency.
… Even the President and the
Presidency are subject to the State. “The State is the most Powerful
Entity”.
Once you understand the State,
you can engage Politically. Once you understand the State and you can manage
the State; you are an Indomitable Political Young Person!
The State; let me explain what
the State is. Have you ever heard a statement before, for instance: “The
Federal Government of Nigeria versus so, so and so person? Who is the Federal
Government of Nigeria?
The Federal Government of Nigeria
is not a person; you cannot touch the person. You cannot see the Federal
Government of Nigeria. But somehow, the Federal Government of Nigeria is suing
somebody – That is the STATE! Ogun State is State. He can sue you; he can be
sued. Once you understand this, you can begin to say: “How do I engage the
State? The Federal Government cannot be touched; it cannot be seen. But the
State can be felt. The State can sue you; you can sue the State.
“Government come, Government
go; Political Leaders come, Political Leaders go. The State remains the
same”.
Once you understand this, Young
People; once you understand this as a Christian; you then begin to think:
“How do I engage the STATE?”. NOT: “How do I engage in
Politics?”
… Are you following me?
Because, the State is the one
that enjoys infrastructure. The State has been here before we were born. The
State will be here after you go. The State is huge; The State is Massive. And
so we must understand the Fundamental Laws and Structural Powers; we must
understand clearly: Political Powers around the State.
1. Every State Structure will
produce its own kind. Let me repeat that; “Every State Structure will
produce its own kind”.
You wonder why Nigeria is the way
it is? And you wonder why African Leaders are the way they are? Because our
State Structure is the way it is.
“A good tree cannot produce
a bad fruit”; it’s impossible! And “A bad tree can never produce a
good fruit”!
… And so, a bad State cannot
produce Good Leaders!
2. Once an entity is created by
the decision of men and women; the aggregation of individual human spirit
interact to establish a Distinctive Corporate Spirit than the individual that
have birth to it.
3. The Corporate Spirit gives
each Institution the personality; and she becomes a reality in its own right.
That’s what I was explaining that: It can sue you.
And because of this reality: the
State can dictate what kind of Technology you use; what kind of Fashion you
wear; who Marries who – whether a man can marry a man. Whether a woman can
marry a woman. That is not the decision on the Presidency; that is the decision
of the State.
That is why, when you go to the
United States of America; Homosexuality is
Legal. Why? Because the States said so. And if you don’t get up and do
something in Nigeria; a lot of things that “Are currently Illegal today;
will be Legal tomorrow”.
4. The Corporate Spirit is
resistant to sudden change. The State does not like change. He does not like
anybody from “Outside” to come and threaten him. That is why, if they
see you as a Young Person and you are speaking and you have passion; very
quickly, the State will find a way to take you out. Because “he will
DISRUPT the ESTABLISHMENT”.
Have you heard the word
“ESTABLISHMENT” before? And that is why the Bible says: “we must
be wise as a Serpent; and gentle as a Dove”
… The State cannot and must not
see you coming.
5. Every State System have their
Visible and Invisible Levels of Control. And usually; Invisible remains the
HEARTBEAT of the Power that be.
So basically, the things that you
see around you, they don’t matter much. What matters the most are the
Structures that you don’t see. The unseen people; they are more important than
the people that you see.
… Let me move very quickly.
6. Every State Structure has her
own name and she is ruled by the State Spirit. So every State has a Spirit!
You can see a State Spirit that
is called TYRUS according to Ezekiel 28:2 – “Son of man, say unto the
prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and
thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;
yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of
God:”
And Isaiah 47:8 says:
“Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest
carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall
not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:”
That is the overall STATE OWNER
of the whole Universe; the Almighty God, the Indomitable Jehovah.
Therefore, to be a Politically
Indomitable Youth; we must not only own Political Parties, we must not not only
build Political Movements, we must not only come to Church and Pray for Nigeria
and strategize about Nigeria: “You must OWN and BUILD Political
States.”
… Very Important! That’s how
you control the hearts of a Nation; when you control the State.
Very quickly, let me just mention
the INVISIBLE Spiritual Battles that you will need to understand.
A closer look at our Politics,
Leasers and Government from the Old Testament perspective shows that there are
both Physical and Spiritual Dimensions – I said earlier; on the seemingly
simple Acts of Governance.
It is regarded that four (4)
Principal Partners and Actors are involved; depicting a sort of Physical and
Spiritual conflicts in the Conferral Mystery.
There is a mystery in a State
Structure; and these are the Four (4) things that are involved. Never forget
these in a State Structure:
1. The Land;
2. The People;.
3. The Spiritual Representatives,
that are called Rulers. Then;
4. The Spiritual Landlords. They
are called “OWNERS”.
Let me repeat that the reason am
going deep this morning; I could just come here and just say: “Go and get
your PVC and be ready to vote”. The truth is that, when you get the PVC
and you look at the candidate, you are wondering: “So who do I vote for
exactly?”
… So some people are confused;
they don’t know who to vote for.
The State has produced after his
kind. And everything the State has given you does not measure up to what you
expect. So you get the PVC and you are wondering: “What do I use this
for?” And that’s why we must go deep this morning.
So, the Land, the People, the
Spiritual Representatives, which are the Rulers; and then the Land Owners.
1. The Land is the Physical
Features like you can see;
2. The People – you and I. You
know we are very visible.
3. The Representative Cadre. Now,
please take is group very seriously.
… Land you a can see; People
you can see.
Let me now tell you about these
people – The Representatives cadre. They include visible Rulers; kings,
custodians of Power, gatekeepers, guardian through none occupiers, as well as
Angelic beings; Principalities, Powers, Spiritual wickedness. Try to usurp
their influence on Agents and Counterparts on the Land. Can you see those who
are more deadly? They are deadlier than you and I as you can see.
.. Those are the Representatives Cadre.
4. And then, you have what is
called the Almighty Himself – Jehovah. The Maker, the Owner of Heaven and
Earth. He is the Invincible overall Controller of all Systems and Structures.
And His Dominion is neither threatened nor vacant. Never forget that!
However, Satan will still be
allowed to hold sway; he is up to usurp God’s objectives through; deception of
men by the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life.
And so, once you understand this;
that you need to be Spiritually and Physically Dominant as I begin to, then I
will take you to where I really want to take you – There are Throne Rooms and
there are Gateway to the Throne Room.
All Christians must understand
the dynamics of Power Structures and the Pathway to the Throne. He must have
the required skills and understanding on how to handle the Officers on the
pathway; both visible and invisible.
So, sometimes we are very good at
usurping visible ones; you fight them, you shout, they throw chairs in the
House of Assembly. But you see, the deadlier ones are the Invisible ones. Those
ones that sit on top of hills; somewhere in some States, I don’t want to
mention names. You know them. They don’t talk, they don’t make public
statements; but they make “Public Decisions!”
i. Gatekeepers, for instance – 1
Chronicles 19:17 gives us example of that;
ii. Guidance – 1 Chronicles 12; 2
Samuel 2:8-9;
iii. Handlers – 1 Chronicles
27:32;
iv. Custodians – 1 Chronicles
1:11-4. These are people you don’t see. You don’t even know them.
v. Then you have the Claimers of
Land. You know, some.of them are called “Omo onile” (Landowners).
That’s what it means – Psalms 62:11.
Those Rulers sometimes are
interchangeable; as they are floating and not appointed at all. Nobody is
appointing them. Nobody is electing them. They are floating freely.
Let me now bring you to Nigeria
Politics. Let’s look at what we understand. Alright, let me breakdown
everything I have just said; I need us to understand it. Because we can come
here and get all excited about Politics; but if you don’t understand the RULES
OF ENGAGEMENT, then you will be disengaged.
1. So the first thing is to
understand that at the Top of this hierarchy is what you call “THE
PRINCE”.
The Prince is the Spiritual
Assignee. Every Nation has a Prince. And am saying this, so that when you pray
for Nigeria you begin to raise a prayer point concerning the Prince of this
Nation.
Every Nation has a Prince! Every
Region has a Prince. Southwest of Nigeria has a Prince. Southeast has a Prince.
Northeast has a Prince. Northwest has a Prince. Every Region has a Prince!
Hear me very well, every State,
every Local Government Area, has a Prince. There are Princes everywhere!
No wonder the Bible says in Psalm
24:7-8
7. Lift up your heads, O ye
gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall
come in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? The
LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Do you know who is asking the
question; “Who is this King of Glory? Can you imagine the audacity of the
Prince questioning the Authority of our God?
In fact, the Prince is so bold;
They said: “Lift up your head oh ye gates; the Gate is the Prince. And
they said, lift up your head ye everlasting doors. And let the King Of
Glory…” They didn’t even say: “Let the Indomitable Youth come in
oooh!” They said: “Let the King of Glory come in”. And the
Prince had the audacity to ask: ” Who is this King of Glory?”
Pharaoh was a Prince; so when
Moses went to meet him and said: “Let my people go!” so that they may
make sacrifices to their God. And he answered and said: “Who is this your
God?”
Am praying for someone today;
that every Prince that is challenging your Spiritual and Political Mandate will
be silenced this morning – Amen!
… They question your authority,
every time you try to emerge as a Young Person; they say: Who are you?
2. And then you have what is
called “THRONE OCCUPIERS”.
These ones are simpler! It’s very
simple, it’s very easy to become the President of Nigeria. Very easy! All you
need to do is just build a momentum; building proper Campaign. So the President
and Vice President, these are Throne Occupiers. They are just there for a time.
Four (4) years; at most eight (8) years, and they are gone!
… The Prince will be there for
a long time!
The State Governors and Deputies,
Local Government Chairmen. These are Throne Occupiers.
3. And then you have what is
called the GUIDANCE of the State. The Police, the Paramilitary Agencies, NDLEA.
So if you are contending with the
Prince; all of a sudden, you will just hear that EFCC is auditing and
investigating you. And you are wondering “What did I do?” Nothing!
These are the Guidance, these are the people that just want to ensure that you
stay away; you don’t touch their things.
… Are you following me this
morning? So once you understand all these elements, you know how to play.
4. PROTECTORS; The Protectors are
the Armed Forces, Military, Air Force. And the State has incredible Power. They
can unleash any time!
5. AGENCIES; What I call the
“Monopolies”; they like the monopoly of violence.
6. And then you have the
CUSTODIANS; the Intelligence Community. In Nigeria you have the FBI, CIA. In
Russia you hear things like KJP, back to the Communists Era.. In Nigeria now
you hear about DSS, SSS, you know!
Those are Custodians. You have
collaborators; International Communities, International Criminal Courts.
… I hope am not scaring
someone? Nobody is coming for anybody.
But if you are going to be
Indomitable, you must dominate all these Structures; very important! We must
tell you of these places: you that you are an insider.
7. Then you have the LANDLORDS;
Landlords or Colonial Masters.
Thank God Nigeria is somehow free from direct colonization; even though we have
what I like to call “Leo Colonization” – you don’t make your
decisions directly. There are Foreign Powers that influence local decisions.
Yes, you have Independence!
Yesterday (October 1st) we celebrated Independence; but how Independent are we
really?
8. And then you have FOREIGN
INTEREST – International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, United Nations. These
are Foreign Interests. Foreign Powers that make sure that you don’t do certain
things.
9. Finally, you have GATEKEEPERS;
they are Electoral Bodies, INEC, Party Executives, Stakeholders, Major
Sociopolitical Influencers, Vito Power, God Fathers.
If you look at Nigeria currently,
I mean something is going on currently in Lagos. You understand this particular
one. How powerful god fathers are. And if you are a god son that you rode on
the instruction of god father and then you want to bite the finger that fed
you; they will come for you.
Can you see while we must take
over? Can you see why we must have Dominion? Can you see why we must be
Indomitable?
… Say to yourself “I must be
Indomitable” – I MUST BE INDOMITABLE!
These are structures to take
over. These are Structures to win. And as I combine all of them, I give you
what I call “THE STATE ORGANS”; Seven (7) Layers of them.
1. At the bottom of it, which
everything rest is is GOD the Almighty Power.
2. On top of it you have the
Governed – you and l; residual men, 180 million Nigerians.
3. And on top if that you have
what I like to call The State Structures.
4. And above it, you have the
Government Apparatus – NDAs.
5. And then you have the
Operating System of Government – Presidency, Legislative and Judiciary.
6. And then at the top if it you
have what is called The Kitchen Cabinet.
7. And then at the very Top, you
have the PRESIDENT.
… But on top of all of these,
if you remove GOD from the BASE, “Everything Collapses!”
And that is why the Bible says
that: “we are seated with Christ in God, high, far above principalities
and Powers. So we sit at the highest level of Dominion.
Hallelujah! And so, Ladies and
Gentlemen, somebody is then asking: “What am I supposed to do after all you
have said?” It is very simply! How do I become an Indomitable Political
Youth? You need to look at these different structures that I have mentioned,
and ask yourself: “Where do I belong?”
It is not enough to come to
Church and pray from now till tomorrow. If we pray from now till next year,
“Prayer will not go to the Polls to elect an Official”.
I like Nehemiah Chapter one (1).
Nehemiah spent twenty one (21) days; fasted and prayed. He asked God for
favour; “Let me find favour before the King, so that when I make my
request, he will obey and listen to me.” And then he moved into action. He
made the request to the King and the King gave him the go ahead to go and
rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem.
In Nehemiah chapter two (2);
there he started to mobilize and build structures.
I came to speak to a Young Person
here today, or reading right now; “It is your time to begin to build your
structures”.
Actually, it is not a prayer, it
is a CHARGE! It is a charge to you that; that vision God has given to you to
occupy some of the things I have mentioned; which I will begin to roll out the
SPECIFIC things to begin to build.
And then Nehemiah began to build.
But he was not only building Physically, he was also building spiritually. They
were praying on one side; they were building on the other hand. At night they
were defending the builders of the wall. In the morning they were praying. They
were building and they were praying.
I dare say to you; “You
don’t build while standing and while kneeling”. You combine Divine Power
with Political Power. And Spiritual Power with Physical Ability make things
easy.
Nehemiah understood this ability
and mobilized Builders, mobilized men and women, and called them; “Let us
build the broken walls; let us repair the broken walls”. And they got to
work.
… What could not be done for
two hundred (200) years of the broken walls of Jerusalem was rebuilt in 52
days.
Amazing things happen when we
combine Anointing with our strength and our understanding.
So KEY ROLES of The President:
1. The President represents our
collective Sovereignty.
Maybe somebody is here this
morning, or reading right now; and you are saying: “The way I want to be
Indomitable is for me to make sure that I hold this position”. Today is
your morning – Amen.
Now, you have the information.
The President, competent or not. Good or evil; represents our collective
Sovereignty. He or she is engaged by the System. Seeks personal, Group or
National Agenda. You can have a President that is all about personal survival.
Every President wants to survive; nobody wants to die in office.
2. And then you have the Cabinet.
These are hardworking, Technocrat,
Beaurocrats, Intellectuals, Competent, loyal and committed self centered. Some
of them may be Stakeholders. NO! They answer to the President. They are the
dispensers of our Sovereign Will. They are mostly “Unelected”.
3. And then you have what I like
to call the Party Cabals.
They are partisan outlook, self aggrandizement.
Aggregation of collective interests. They focus on the next election every
single time, not on the present performance. Every single time is about
Election Cycles. In fact, I call some of them “Political Masquerade”;
because they come out every four (4) years.
4. And then you have the Nonparty Invisible
Cabals.
They seek Group interest;
exploitative in the long run. Their paddling of self-influence, they
appropriate and allocate collective Sovereignty. These guys just collect; they
are like “Rain Seekers”.
5. And then you have the
Operative System.
… Begin to say; “Where do
I function in all of these?”
6. Beaurucratic, Legislative and
Judiciary.
They could be inefficient. This
is where you see a lot of corrupt Leaders mediocrity. Whether they know how to
do the job or not. “He is my brother, she is my sister; let him come in.
Let her come in”.
7. Then you have the Government
Apparatus; NSAs.
They are ineffective at times.
Particularly in Nigeria. And incompetent in many times. They lack innovation
and creativity.
And so for a Young Person that
wants to be Indomitable; “How do I bring innovation and creativity into
the Government?”
An example is Seun Onigbide: he created a Platform that is
transparent for Government. Now Bill Gate is talking about him. The World Bank
is bringing him to come and talk. Everybody is speaking about him; simply
because he is dominating in that Space!
8. And then you have the State
Structure; centralised, rigid unification and uniformity. They suppress and
control mechanism custodians and apparatus, sovereign power.
9. And then you have the
Government. And I want to talk to the Governed this morning as I begin to bring
this home.
The Governed, which is the
citizens, lightly fragmented, disorganized, disfigured.
Most people ; I don’t know how
many people are still listening to me right now or even writing or reading
right now. Because it’s not in our nature to sit and hear or read so much
information. It has become common place for large number of people to just hear
Chant words like: “Say this, and the people respond that”.
There is a place for that. But
guess what? There is more place for Information than the place of shouting.
Hear me, and hear me well; the
Bible says: “In the beginning was
the Word (that is Information). It says the Word (Information) was with God,
and the Word (Information) was God.
It says this same Word
(information) was there in the beginning with God. It says All things were created by the same
Word (Information); and it says without this Word (information) nothing was created
that was created.
Can you see that Information
created the world and Information will change the world.
The devil reordered the world by
bringing another set if Information. God said: “Don’t eat the Apple”;
the devil brought another information and said: “You can eat the
Apple”
Information is POWER! You have
information? You are a deadly weapon. They will look for you. They will write
to you. They will invite you to come and have a conversation. I know what am
talking about!
… There are some things I
cannot say in this Platform; but I know what am talking about. They invited me
to come. And they even beg me not to say certain things; because they know that
I KNOW!
The Governed, largely ignorant,
mostly shortsighted, deprived, rejected. Because of all the things that have
been going on. Mostly “the solution harassed!” Nobody can hear word
again. You can’t watch anything on TV. It’s all about them now. For the next
three (3) to four (4) months; until February 2019 comes and go. And you wait
another three (3) years and they will start all over again.
This is when you see money moving
through the System. The State Apparatus will be activated from one state to
another. The State is in charged. You see Military, you see DSS, you see
everybody moving.
Can you imagine if the Righteous
is in Power at that Level? Can you imagine if you; somebody who is Holy Ghost
filled, Tongue Talking, Bible Waving, is sitting as the Head of DSS in Nigeria?
Can you imagine if the Chief of Army Staff is a Redeemed Member? Can you
imagine if the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a Believer? And
that day is not far from now; very, very soon. Can you imagine?
Because the Bible says:
“When the Righteous is in Power, the People will Rejoice. But when the
wicked Rules, the people are in agony”.
All these Apparatus that I have
mentioned; we cannot be Indomitable unless we fill them. Unless we occupy the.
7. And so, the seventh (7th)
Figure in this place is the Custodian of Ultimate Power – JEHOVAH! His Name is
Yahweh. And when we are connected to Yahweh, and we listen to His voice, as it
is said in Genesis 1:27-28
27. So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he
them.
28. And God blessed them, and God
said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue
it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
… We are created for Dominion,
and we were created for such a time as this.
As I begin to round up, you then
ask yourself: “So how do I begin?” How do I engage the System? The
first thing is that (please understand):
“Every Contest for Land, no
matter how mild; is a Contest for SOULS. Because SOULS dwell on the Land”.
No Wonder when Daddy GO goes
around, he says “we must win souls”. He know what he is talking
about. Because when you win souls and you disciple people; listen to me, we
must win souls. “The battle for the land is a battle for souls”. Land
is useless without Occupiers of the Land.
And we know that every land is a
Mission Field and the battle ground. Therefore, the Christian who is going to
this Mission Field must put on the whole armour of God as an astute intention
and capability for the strategy of Satan; You must not sleep and you must
slumber.
The FORMAT
of the Mission Engagement is usually in the form of:
1. MOBILIZERS; this morning am
calling for Mobilizers. Some of you are gifted; you have the ability to
mobilize. If they tell you to bring one thousand (1,000) people to the
Redemption Camp today; you will find a way to bring them. You might need some
help with buses, but the one thousand (1,000) people is sure. And you are
gifted, you know yourselves.
I can see they are raising up
their hands. If you are a Mobilizer let me hear you shout hallelujah –
HALLELUJAH!
… Whaoooo! We have that many
Mobilizers here.
So for you to be Indomitable, we
need Mobilizers. At the end of this Convention we must be able to find:
“Who are the Mobilizers?”
So when the battle is ready, can
you imagine if we get one thousand (1,000) people that can Mobilize one
thousand (1,000) people each? Just imagine the number! The State will be scared
of us; the Redeemed Christian Church of God with almost fifty thousand (50,000)
Parishes Nationwide. Imagine our number. Imagine our strength!
This is the time for the
Mobilizers to get up. Mobilizers that have understanding, Mobilizers that have
information, Mobilizers that know what to do with people. One thousand (1,000)
Mobilizers, imagine what they will do. And there are people here who can
command five thousand (5,000); there are people here who can command ten
thousand (10,000). This is the season of Mobilizers!
… To be Indomitable is not a
prayer point; it is Work!
2. Those of you who are saying;
what does he mean that it is not a “Prayer Point”?
Don’t worry there is a place for
you. We need INTERCESSORS! There are people who will say: I can’t mobilize, but
I can PRAY; No problem. Come to the Redemption Camp and stay here and pray. We
will mobilize. But make sure you don’t fall asleep, Pray!
We need Intercessors at the
highest level. Because you see; we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
… We need Warriors, of course!
3. How do you take up this work
without finance? We need FINANCIERS! We need people who will say: “For
that guy who is able to bring one thousand (1,000) people, I need ten (10)
buses to be able to do it; I need five hundred thousand Naira (N500,000.00) to
mobilize ten (10) Buses here.
Where are the Financiers by faith
or already ready; let me hear you shout hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
Financiers are people who are
Channels, they are not containers. Those things which God has given to you; the
buses, they are for you to produce incredible wealth. So that the wealth can
help make the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God.
4. And then we have the SENDERS.
They are not people who will say, ok! We have ten thousand (10,000) people; who
is going to be the President, who is going to be the Vice? Who is going to be
the Governor/Deputy? Who is going to be the Local Government Chairperson?
Look, I challenge all of us
today. There are seven hundred and seventy four (774) Local Government Areas in
Nigeria. And you tell me we cannot find seven hundred and seventy four (774)
people in the Redeemed Christian Church of God who could be Local Government
Chairmen? It is an Anomaly!
There is a place that I live in
his Lagos; Lekki Phase 1 Area. There are about fifty (50) Churches on that
Lekki Epe Express Road. In fact, I call that Road: “Lekki Boulevard”.
That’s what I call it. Some of the biggest Churches, that’s where they are. And
last year, the Local Government Chairman was a Muslim.
Do you know the number of people
that voted for him in that Area? Twelve Thousand (12,000) people. While the
combined number of people in the Churches in that area are about One Hundred
Thousand (100,000).
… What are we doing? And then
we have Missionaries in the Missions Field; ” Who shall go for us? Who
shall we send? Here I am send me!
Finally, I know there are some
people who will say: “You know what, I don’t believe in the participation
in Politics and Political System.” No problem!
4. There two (2) categories of
people here; but I am praying that a larger percentage of people here: it says
there are those who believe in NON PARTICIPATION. “I just want to vote;
Heaven is where am going, I just want to make Heaven. “That’s all! I don’t
want to do anything else on earth.”
But the Bible says: “The
Earth has been given to the children of men to cover”. That’s the reason
why poverty is in the land. Nigeria is now the Poverty Capital of the world –
it’s in statics.
We have overtaken India. India
had 1.3 Billion people in population, and the number of people that are poor in
India is seventy one (71) million. Nigeria has a hundred and eighty (180)
million people; and eighty five (85) million people are living below Poverty
Line. That is an anomaly! We have overtaken the world.
China, in twenty (20) years;
moved seven hundred and fifty (750) million people out of poverty. seven
hundred and fifty (750) million people; that’s five (5) times our population!
What are we doing? And we say we are not interested?
Let me tell you that “A
Begging Bowl” (begging from one parson to another); a Begging Bowl is not
a pathway to prosperity of any kind.
And the second (2nd) category of
people are those who believe in “ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT”; Active
engagement, intervention, advocacy and participation. If you can’t do anything
else at all, get Information and begin to Talk. Let people hear your voice!
So whatever Category you find
yourself, you must understand that there’s a place for “NEGOTIATION”.
Finally, David had to negotiate
with Saul’s GOC, Abner; the Captain of Saul’s Army, for him to get into the
Kingdom. And the Leaders of Israel, for him to become King – 2 Samuel 3:13;
5:3.
David was already anointed King
in 1 Samuel 16; he waited until 2 Samuel 3, for him to become King over Judah –
ten percent (10%) of the entire Kingdom was what he had access to.
Anointed at age seventeen (17);
he became King over Judah at the age of thirty (30). He didn’t become King over
Israel till the age of thirty eight (38).
… There’s a place for
NEGOTIATION!
And so Indomitable Youth; Civic
Responsibility, Community Intervention, Projects in Territories where
Christianity is not known in Nigeria, Anchor Dropping. And I live what we do in
RCCG; whether it’s CSR, and what the Youths and Young Adults are doing with
RISE, Information dissemination; that is what you call Social Anchors.
Trainings, Seminars, Workshops, NGOs, Relevance Target Groups, Legal: for
example, all the different Aids that we provide; Advocacy Groups, Direct
Salient Bars, and Christian Issues. Strategic Youth Engagement (like what we
are doing this week). And Empowerment, Education, Retraining, Employment,
Skills Acquisition, Social Reconciliation, Relieves and Reforms.
All of these are very important
in engaging the State and engaging the System. But we cannot make any headway
unless we become EXTREMELY POLITICAL! Political is that you decide to join a
Political Party.
1. Build Structures: these are
achievable things now. Build Structures! David built structures; built four
(400) men in Cave Adullam. Those men were the ones that were fighting and
became “Mighty Men of David”. Build Structures! Jesus built
Structures; twelve (12) Disciples. He extended it to seventy (70) and then the
number continued. And here you are today!
2. Leverage on the Structures of
the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Our fathers have done a tremendous amount
of work. Oh my goodness! Look at what we sit on top. Look at what we have; look
at our numbers, look at the structures; the Regions, the Provinces, the Zones,
the Areas and the Parishes, in Nations of the world. Leverage on it for
Dominion!
This is beyond PVC; you must
discover your PILLAR! What Pillar do you want to hold, that you want to shake?
Who is your Goliath? What is your Goliath? Where do you want to dominate?
Samson even at the point of death, he said: “Show me the Pillars on which
this building is resting?” And then, when he found the Pillars, he PUSHED
them; the whole building came down. Who is your Goliath?
3. And then, please don’t do
anything unless “YOU ARE LED’. The Bible says: “As many that are led
by the Spirit of God; they are the sons of God.”
For Candidates that are running
for Offices; this Message is important! You need a Political Platform, and you
need the people. But, don’t so anything UNLESS YOU ARE LED.
This morning, my time is up! But
I have got to tell you that we stand at time in history; every twenty (20)
years, Nigeria’s Political System changes. Every twenty (20) years we have a
New Political Structure.
It’s an inside Information am
giving us this morning. 1999 was our Return to Democracy. Twenty (20) years
before then, it was a Military Era. Twenty (20) years before then, Coups and
Counter Coups. Twenty (20) years before then, it was Civil War. Twenty (20)
years before then, it was fight for Independence.
2019 will make another twentieth
(20th) years for Nigeria. What is going to change, I might not know! But are
you prepared for what is to come? Every twenty (20) years, a New Thing Emerges.
I have a Message for someone here
today: ARISE, SHINE! that your light has
come, and the Glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. That though darkness we may
see today, may cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but this is the
time for your LIGHT TO SHINE!
What if you were born for such a
time as this? For if not us, WHO? If not now, WHEN? If not us as Indomitable
Youths of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, which other Church? Which other
Platform?
The world is waiting for us.
Nigeria is looking for us. People are begging for us to stand up and be
Indomitable. People are waiting for us to take charge and step into
Position. My question to you this
morning is that: Are you ready? (2 times).
Well, if you are ready please
stand up on your feet now. Stand up on your feet now!
Oh yes, we pray: Oh God of
Creation, direct our noble cause. Guide our Leaders right, help our Youth the
truth to know. In honesty we pray. We pray for Peace, we pray for all of these
different things: Great lofty heights attain, to build a Nation where peace,
and justice shall reign.
But who are the Builders? It is
you and I.
I say to you today, GET READY!
Roll up your sleeves and get ready. It is time to get to work. As you spend the
rest of this week; gather Information. Don’t leave here without praying for
direction. But as you pray for direction, make sure you step into Purpose.
Lift up your two (2) Hands and
say: my Father!
… I can’t hear you; let your
shouting be Indomitable.
Say: My Father, here I am; Send
me, Anoint me, Equip me, Unleash me. (Open your mouth and pray that prayer
now!)
