MINISTERING: PROPHET JOSEPH ENOCH APATA

(TWO(2) HUNDRED DAYS PRAYER FOR POWER SEASON)

THEME: THE ESSENCE OF POWER

BIBLE TEXTS: ACTS 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What is the essence of power? No matter how good your car is, if there’s no battery to power it the car is useless. When i started this prayer on the 1st of August, GOD told me, all these years you have been operating in faith and not in power, faith is when you believe in something and you keep at it and you see it happen, but GOD said now I want you to operate in Power.

The first primary key to power is the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues.

“And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are many Christians today that are not serious , they are joking with their Christian life and their future, it’s when the enemy attack them that they’ll know they don’t have the power of GOD, they they are empty. When the power comes you’ll be filled with the Holy Ghost and the evidence of the Holy Ghost is that you’ll begin to speak in other tongues. There are many of you in church today I pray the power of the evil one don’t attack you because you are empty. We have been attacked many time on different occasions but we overcame and we are still standing.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The essence of power is to be a witness, you must be a witness of the faithfulness of GOD , of what others could not survive that you survived, of what the enemy tried on others but if failed on your own head, of what your parents could not overcome but you overcame , you must be a witness when the power is on you, you must be a witness for GOD in every aspect of life your life. When you have power you attract, power will make you to be a witness and that’s true power. I SEE GOD RELEASING THAT POWER UPON US ALL IN THIS SEASON IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

When you are a witness you are not among the defeated.

“And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭22‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Remember when Cornelius was given this power, he jumped routine, skipped all protocols and procedures and began to speak in tongues.

“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭44‬-‭47‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why I tell you that anyone that fail in this church you are a real disappointment to your generation.

See power will make you to be a witness and not to be a shame. Power will make you to decode the code of the enemies.

“Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? And one of his servants said, None, my Lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.”
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why I am not involved in what GOD is not in, I am not a joker, if it’s not GOD, count me out, why, because I want to be a witness, I don’t want to be a shame and I bless GOD today that in my old age I am not a shame.

The power of GOD will make you to be a witness, you’ll not be a shame to your family, friends, and to the church of GOD. This is why I’m a very meticulous with this work, there’s no one I have ever deceived , I don’t add gimmicks to this job, I have never and I will never, you think I’m just fasting for hunger strike? No no no . When there’s power available you are to be a witness and not a shame and beggar. Let it be known that I am not part of those prophet and pastors they play gimmick and with people’s life because the purpose and the essence of being a Christian is to be witness, anything outside that you are just a religious person.

People don’t want to hear stories again, they want to see what you are preaching that GOD can do in your life first. When you are a witness in Jerusalem. Which means your own house, your kindreds , to Judea, Samaria and even to the uttermost part of the earth.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You must be a witness , say I WILL BE A WITNESS. It’s my joy for all of us to be a witness of the goodness of GOD, of His faithfulness . Kindness and not only in Jerusalem but also in judea and Samaria and to the uttermost part of the earth.

ANY POWER THAT SAY YOU WILL NOT BE A WITNESS, THAT YOU WILL BE A SHAME, THAT SAY YOU WILL BW POOER AND POOR AND NOBODY WILL HEAR YOUR VOICE, I ATTACK THEM WITH THE POWER OF GOD IN JESUS NAME.

I told you that if I had found a Prophet like me when I was younger I would have gone far but I didn’t find until GOD came to me Himself. In this world that we live in today everybody wants to be a witness.

EVERY POWER THAT HAS BOWED YOUR HEAD THAT SAY YOU WILL NOT RISE BY THE POWER OF RESURRECTION YOU SHALL RISE IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

There were many prophets that came before JESUS and they were killed apart from Moses that we don’t know where he was buried but JESUS visited the grave, He knows the name of death, He collected the power of death and came back to life, what had never happened before JESUS did it.

RECORD BREAKING ACHIEVEMENTS WILL START FROM YOU AND YOU WILL BE A RECORD BREAKER FOR GOOD AND NOT FOR BAD IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

There are many of you that they have hijacked the power from you to witness .

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are talking of the Almighty GOD here approving a human being to do great things in life and in this world , remember it was people that were in debts that gathered themselves unto David but he turned to great soldiers and generals.

“And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ANY SIN THAT WILL NOT MAKE GOD APPROVE YOU THE BLOOD OF JESUS CLEANSE YOU NOW IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

See when GOD approves you, doors will start opening for you , you are made for life , you too will become someone great in life. Be a witness like JESUS. Do you think I am joking here? Be a witness in your schools, place of work etc.. I was the one that brought fellowship to my secondary school back then and it spread round to other schools, I even invited my vice principal to church then , what witness do you want to be? MAY YOU NOT BE A BAD WITNESS IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

THE LORD SAY THERE IS SOMEBODY HERE THE GARMENT OF SHAME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WEARING IN YOUR FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS TO GENERATIONS LET FIRE REMOVE THAT GARMENT NOW.

GOD told me pray that whatever sin will not make GOD to approve me let the blood of JESUS cleanse me , because it’s the blood of JESUS that cleanse all sins.

“but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If GOD approve you nothing can stop it, JESUS was approved and they saw all He did in their midst, amongst them , not when He died, some people you won’t hear about them until they are dead, MAY THAT NOT BE OUR PORTION IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

Be a witness for GOD, MAY THAT POWER COME UPON YOU NOW IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

GOD OF THE PROPHET BLESS YOU

MINISTERING: PROPHET JOSEPH ENOCH APATA

THEME: SUBMISSION

BIBLE TEXTS: JAMES 4:7

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Submission is very important, it will make you to overcome demonic powers, when you submit to authorities above you. This is why the Bible said submit yourself to GOD, anyone that’s not submissive can be easily used by the devil. When you submit to GOD you have given Him the chance to help you , you have created an Avenue to get His help when you submit to Him. Either in the church, family, work place , let submission be your yardstick, it will help you.

The Bible says husband love your wife and wife submit to your husband, its when you submit that you will get the free flow of love.

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

I’ve found out that a lot of us say we love GOD but we find it difficult to submit to GOD and the enemy use that against Us. I have told you that as VDMITES I will teach you some codes that you will not fall a victim of the enemies attacks. When you leave a vacuum of not being submissive , the enemy will attack you. When an authority gives you instructions, you must follow it to the latter. When the devil attacks you , see the Bible say he that breaks an edge the serpent will bite, the enemy attacks you because they sense that not being submissive nature is in you, so they capitalized on that and use that Avenue to attack you.

“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

When submissiveness is in place other things will fall in place. This is why today we have people who are suffering and they are blaming the government, leadership and even the church, no, see when you are submissive , no matter how bad the person may be , you will surely eat the good gesture of that place. Quote me any day, any time, anyone that’s submissive will escape every challenges at all times. Submissiveness will make people to naturally love you and anybody can be attacked when you are not submissive to GOD and to the authorities He placed over you and when they attack it will be a cheap avenue for them.

If the Almighty GOD Himself can instruct you to be submissive , then you must know how important submissiveness is.

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

See whatever you’re submitting to me, or to your husband , or to anyone that GOD has made a leader over you, what you are saying is GOD I submit to you , it’s all before GOD. See I have lived a life that whatever I am doing , I do it as if GOD is right there in front of me , when you don’t know that there’s an authority you will suffer.

“Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

When the Bible says submit to GOD, it simply means whatever you are doing, is it approved by GOD ? A lot of people don’t know that submissiveness means doing things as unto the lord , do it as if GOD is there looking at you, do it as before GOD, let’s have the fear of GOD.

“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Some people carry curses being around a man of GOD instead of blessings, see even me all the resources that GOD is putting into my hands He is testing me too, who He asked me to give , did I give them? Who He asked me to take care of , am I taking care of them?

Submit yourself to GOD , when you don’t submit its two things , arrogance or carelessness. When the assignment GOD sends you is not fulfilled, you have put a curse on yourself and this is how so many of you behave, you jeopardize the assignment of GOD that pass through you and it goes unfulfilled.

“And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back: and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why I live my life in total submission to GOD, oh I am a good follower, I submit fully to my master and this is why I thank GOD the master I have is JESUS CHRIST, I obey Him to the latter always. Please be candid and truthful to yourself, be a good follower and submit well, you are not receiving those promises because GOD is not seeing full submission in you. Either you’ll grow or you’ll shut down , it all depends on how submissive you are.

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Avoid not being submissive, because not being submissive will bring problems to you , people just jump to resist the devil and he will flee, No, there’s something you must do before you resist the devil but the quote everyone quotes is resist the devil and he will flee, you that want to resist the devil you must undergo the process and the process of the devil fleeing from you is just one thing, submission to the authority above you. When you submit to the Spiritual authority above you , the physical authority will recognize you , that’s how it’s run, and when you disregard and disobey spiritual authority, physical authorities too will not regard you.

“For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be your's: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭11‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why people that work in big organizations are seen as robots, no they are not robots they are only submissive to the lay down instructions of the organization. But when you se that your submissiveness is to a bad thing you can pull out, GOD give you a ground to pull out of that but if you pull out of divine assignment, you will suffer, GOD does not support evil.

No matter how powerful GOD’s promise is in your head if you are not submissive it will not come to pass.

It’s every soul that must submit, no matter who you are there must be an authority you submit to that rule you.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s a statement of command that you cannot deliberate or argue. A lot of people suffer today because they say You are not GOD, don’t ever make that statement , don’t ever say I don’t need you , don’t ever let that be part of you lifestyle, a tree cannot make a forest , you’ll always need people, there are days you will have and days you’ll not have , so the day you don’t have, who will you ask ?

“In the multitude of people is the king's honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s GOD that our authorities there, GOD that put me here if you disrespect me you will be punished for it.

“Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When you have people that nobody can instruct please avoid them.

“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬, ‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When GOD is telling you submissiveness and you see people that are not submissive avoid them. Every power that be is ordained of GOD, fear authorities and powers, Uriah didn’t obey authority and he lost his life for it, it’s GOD that put them there, anybody they like they favour and anyone they life they punish, don’t look down on people GOD gave power , verse one of Romans 13 made us know that it’s GOD that give them the power, it’s GOD that put them there.

See if you resist or speak against anything that an authority do you’ll pay for it.

“Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭22‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You don’t know what GOD is preparing Him for, you won’t know the glory they GOD is suffering him for, you are now using what he is going through to abuse him, you’ll pay dearly for it.

“For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: And let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭69‬:‭26‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are things that some people are going through that GOD wants to subject them, squeeze them, don’t abuse them oo, or else see verse 27,

“Add iniquity unto their iniquity: And let them not come into thy righteousness.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭69‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You that have iniquity before they will now help you add to it, you forgot your own iniquity and you’re now speaking against somebody else , the Bible says if GOD should mark iniquity who shall stand ?

Say GOD I will not be a friend to your enemy because the word of GOD must stand, it must be fulfilled. Let people see you anyway they want to see you , what matters most is how GOD sees you. There are some people that GOD have removed His book, don’t put them in your book, if you are a friend to my enemy you’re my enemy too, even GOD said I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you, so why are you a friend to my enemy?

“and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You have the right to reject anything the enemy wants to send into your life, that was the mistake Job made, he was just accepting everything , GOD doesn’t take anything He has given to you.

“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So reject the enemy with all venom, anything they send to you return it back to them, don’t accept it.

“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t love who I hate and don’t hate who I love, you should know I have my reason for everything as a Prophet. Don’t accommodate evil in your house, don’t clothe them, who GOD send away don’t accept them, don’t make them relevant , or else GOD will fight you, don’t make people who GOD have liquidate to be relevant again.

Submit yourself to GOD and you say you’re not ready to submit yourself then to your way, I can’t carry another person curse, pay for the consequences of your dis-loyalty, face the shame and the hunger alone. All souls must submit , subject to higher power He said. Submission is very very vital when you need help from GOD and men. You try it be submissive to who’s above you , it attracts natural love , good gestures , protection , etc… don’t ever make the mistake if honoring rebels and people who are disloyal to GOD, when you se bad people cut them off.

Let your submission be I totality , not only in words but by actions and deeds and it must be to the latter, you will carry it out the way you were instructed, if you need to change it, you’ll need to come and ask me because you don’t change the instructions of an authority you’ll carry a curse.

“And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭39‬, ‭42‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What assignment have GOD sent you and you are changing it in His hands like that young Prophet, He will curse you. So how many people are here today that it’s GOD that’s fighting you and you think it’s your enemies, better appeal and submit to Him.

Don’t change the pattern of GOD, be submissive to Him totally so you will not be under a curse and suffering perpetually. Are you here you are told not to marry someone and you say you want the permissive will of GOD, Yes, He will allow it but only you will suffer for it.

Everything GOD created He created well, it’s only when we disobey Him we suffer, you will not suffer in JESUS name, Amen.

There are good GOD will ask you to do so He can do good unto you , nothing comes for nothing , that’s how the world is, that’s how it’s form, you give to receive.

“give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There must be something you have have done for GOD that will make Him tell me to help you, there must be something you must have done that will speak for you. Sometimes it’s what you have done for good that GOD will consider and favour you, keep doing good, you don’t know the day it will speak for you.

“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t be doing eye service that tomorrow nothing will speak for you. Things just don’t happen, somebody must have done something good for favour to follow you , so what are you too doing for good for favour to follow
Someone else tomorrow? Do good sincerely even its two or three.

I want to tell you that everyone of us know who we are , so are you planting the seed well? Don’t wait until the day of Harvest and you say GOD is not faithful, GOD is ever faithful, submit yourself to GOD.

GOD OF THE PROPHET BLESS YOU.

THEME: THE CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH

BIBLE TEXTS: ISAIAH 65:20-25

“There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭20‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

GOD will not do anything until He commits His word unto His servant, all that we see coming to pass today are what He has told us some years ago and we wrote them down and we see them coming to pass today, and even today the Lord GOD is still speaking.

“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Remember I told you about the people of the synagogue of satan that are in the church, it’s GOD that made them to come , they did not force themselves into the church.

“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

They say they are Jews but they lie, so note them, they like lying. This is why I want original VDMITES to take note because strangers come and go and they pollute, destroy and go but the owner will not want it to be destroyed, remember the story of the two prostitutes that went to King Solomon for their child and when they asked the child to be divided , the first one that’s not the owner of the child agreed but the original mother of the child said no.

“Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my Lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There’s this passion you see in people when protecting what is theirs, if I am your father and Prophet, you will protect the interest of what matters to me, it comes natural, it flows naturally. So I want us to be very careful, you and I should be observant and know the strangers amongst us , don’t let their lies overwhelm you because they are of their father the devil, there’s no truth in them, when he speaks he lies, he is a liar from the beginning and all his children will be like him.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭44‬ ‭KJV‬‬

See your discernment in wanting GOD to rule you will go a long way in your life. A lot of people in the church are just eye-service and not heart service but let it be known to you that there’s no one GOD will not settle and if it takes 20 years to do heart service , eye service or nose services, you will meet it there.

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

My point is there are people of the synagogue of satan in our midsts, they lie and they love to lie , so don’t let anybody in the name that they are Jews unknowing that they are from the synagogue of Satan mislead you in the church, be very careful, there are a lot of synagogue of satan that call themselves Jews but they lie and by their fruit and you shall know them, by the way the conduct themselves in the little things committed into their hands.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why when I see the way people handle things of GOD today I shake my head in pity for them because the Bible say cursed is the one who does the work of GOD deceitfully

“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭48‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This zeal of GOD that we have maintained for over 30years and it’s still burning in us and some of you are just small pikins (children) and your zeal is dying already. See be it known to you that you need power face the challenges in this world, and there are three throws of power

1: The earthly
2: Sensual ( spiritual realm beyond this world )
3: Heavenly ( The Power of GOD )

“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why when GOD wants to punish you what you will first see is rejection and then sickness will follow, your blood will be against your water , your bone against your flesh etc..

“And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭28‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Please don’t look for GOD’s trouble, even at this age 52 I’m still very careful, so you young children be more careful, fear the one that you can sleep and He will take your life, and you’re making boast that you’re young and beautiful, this and that, why not fear GOD?

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Many of you it’s GOD that’s punishing you, you have looked for His trouble , please don’t look for GODs trouble, avoid it with all carefulness please because you’ll suffer for it if you look for His trouble.

We that are relevant in the things of GOD today it’s because we subjected that demon, they wanted to raise their head too but we didn’t allow it, we suffered them, starve them by fasting , I even destroyed my name and reputation by obeying GOD because they love reputation and they love to always take the glory, so when they saw that I obeyed GOD and cared not about my reputation, they left.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That was what the devil was challenging, he didn’t want JESUS to have that name above every other name. Whatever you are doing see it as a service unto the lord, don’t do eye service , do it with heart service, the reputation was brought down , GOD saw it and now exalted His name. See sometimes GOD will give you a sickness just to spoil your reputation, the one He gave me I accepted it.

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are so many of you here that you wouldn’t be here if not for what you went through. So what reputation do you have that you are using to brag I. The house of GOD ? GOD will rubbish it for you.

So let’s go back to our texts in ISAIAH 65:20-25 , because we must separate VDMITES from strangers, so for this Bible verse that GOD gave to me the Prophet, I am not talking about strangers here but true VDMITES because strangers misbehave, they are disobedient, arrogant and proud and you are being proud to the one that owns the your life, your blood, bone and even the water and flesh in your body to your finger nails.

The first message is in verse 20

“There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

1: There shall be no dead in VDM, it’s a covenant, sudden death will not visit our houses .

2:VERSE 21
“And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One of the grace that will follow all VDMITES, He say we shall build houses and inhabit them. There are some people that built houses and can’t live there but we shall build houses and inhabit them.

We shall plant vineyards and we shall eat from them. What is the Vineyard? Our children are the vineyards, we shall eat from their wealth because they are the vineyard that surround us.

“Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: Thy children like olive plants round about thy table.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭128‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is why I am telling some parents here don’t condone the excesses of your children, the Bible say it’s the rod that will drive the madness away from the heart of a child.

“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Our children are our vineyards, as a child are you a singer , sing well, you don’t know the day it will speak for you . Can anything speak for you in the day of troubles? The day hell will conclude to take you over what will speak for you ? Whatever you are doing, do it as unto the lord, teach your children well , you are my spiritual children this is why I am teaching you well , what will speak for you in the day that hell surround you? Who tell you they will not come, they will come, JESUS said the prince of this world cometh but found nothing in me.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Remember when we are talking about vineyard, it means our children and you will eat well in their hands, they will not be useless, they will not be a liability to you , in JESUS name, Amen.

3:VERSE 22
“They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Nobody will represent or replace me when my children are graduating, getting married and doing great things. When my daughter was being called to bar I went there with my wife ( her mother ) and they told me they only have one ticket which is for one of the parent and I said I must get my wife a ticket even if it’s to buy it and I got her the ticket and we went in together, sat down and we both watched as our daughter was called to bar and I told her see your daughter, this is a dream come true , you’re here alive no one taking your place, I told her I will make sure I do everything to make all your dreams come true.

And someone said I brainwashed her, I brainwashed her and her daughter is a barrister already , certified by the Nigerian Supreme Court, I brainwashed her and her children are in private universities, I love that brainwash, see the brain wash of the Prophet is the best. The way GOD brainwashed me , I thought I was going to be a driver because I am a very skillful driver but He told me I will make you a prophet, I said how , me that doesn’t know how to read and write, He told me leave that one. He brainwashed me and removed all the archaic system in me that today I wonder how I know the things I know. A brainwash that will make my star to shine is a good brainwash. All my thought was that I would end up as a driver but GOD removed that ideology and told me you will be great , you will build estates , you shall give cars out and see me today , see in your own private time tell GOD to use this man to brainwash me because a lot of you believe in the wrong thing.

“Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t fight a Prophet, GOD will never support you , all I am teaching is let all of us children make us Proud and they shall make us proud in JESUS name, Amen.

4: VERSE 23:
“They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I will not labour in vain, how can somebody train a child all through university and the child dies during Nysc, how can you raise a child, they get married and die through child delivery ? That will not be our portion in VDM, say it again, I WILL NOT LABOUR IN VAIN.

5: VERSE 24 :

“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

GOD say He will hear Us, before We Pray He will answer. See I don’t want anyone of you to suffer, don’t just ask for physical or material things in this my 200 days of prayer starting by August 1, ask GOD sincerely because sometimes even we don’t know who we are.

6: VERSE 25:

“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This verse have Two(2) messages :

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together , the lion shall eat straw like bullock and the dust shall be the serpent’s food. See these are the different kind of people that are inside the church, wolf, lion, snakes, beasts , mami-water, are all inside the church.

The lamb: they obey GOD , they are born again, they speak in tongues, they love tithing , these are the lambs.

Learn this truth today, He said they shall feed together , hear the word of GOD together , I am feeding both the land and the wolf here. There are not lions, lions Dey inside church oooo, and there’s the serpent , the beast , so who are you ? When you see someone they comes inside the church and they sit a an improper way , they have told you who they are , they want to strike, they sit that way looking for who to attack, so when you see such people, gently correct them , don’t let them come and accomplish their task in your life. You see a child they are correcting and that child is rejecting that correction, don’t let your children mingle with such people, they will contaminate your children.

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We that are lamb are few , we that came genuinely to serve GOD are few, we that pay tithes are few, we that care about the work of GOD we are few.

We lamb support and love the Prophet and we care about the work of GOD passionately, we always think about our fathers job. The lamb find time to pray in the church.

Truth be told these are the category of the people you find in the church, this is why when you meet people in the church, pray well, tell the church elders about them and they in turn tell the prophet, why, because I have seen a lot of people that it’s the person they met in the church that destroyed their life. I never knew those days that you can meet lion, wolf, serpent, bear etc.. in the church , and this people will destroy you, they don’t care , that’s their mission.

Please ask yourself who are you ? And when you know the truth, say you want to be a lamb because who you are will not depart from you, it will sell you out, it will disgrace you in the market square. Please learn this today, anywhere you see two or three people gather just know there’s a wolf, lamb, Lion , serpent among them.

The second message is this when you are now someone that obeys GOD they shall not hurt you or destroy you in this holy place.

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Many people that have been hurt in the church is because they over trusted , they assumed, don’t let people come to the church and hurt you. The Bible already predicted they shall not hurt you in my holy place , so if you get hurt, its your fault. Don’t let them be seeing you in the border of trouble, if you are found in the border of trouble what you don’t want you eyes to see, you will see it, you are the one that allowed yourself to get hurt in the church.

I have told you adult matters in the church is none of your business, asking about how they spent the church money is none of your business, you have passed your boundary by doing so and what you will get next is curses and the next thing you’ll do is to be walking about and be blaming the church for your misfortune, claiming the church hurt you unknowing to you that you are the one that passed your boundary.

“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭26‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If you don’t like the way they do things leave the place, the Church can’t hurt you, you are the one that wants to force your ideology on them. Don’t ever think that the church hurt you or destroy you, no, you are the one that went beyond your boundary, claiming what you don’t have right to claim, which means you are lawless and what follow lawless people is shame and disgrace.

“The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭41‬-‭42‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We can’t hurt you if you maintain your lane, don’t put your mouth in adult matters, they will curse you, remember some of them are wolf, some are lion, some are serpent, don’t put mouth in anybody’s matter , what you came to church for is what you should face.

It has been predicted that there will be no hurt on His holy mountain and that true because over 30 years of me being born again have I been hurt , no, why I don’t pass my boundary.

GOD OF THE PROPHET BLESS YOU
