(Sermon Note - Planery Session 9- 72hours 2025)
Alot of people in our fold don't know Jesus
We do things in his name
We know angels we don't know him
Some are still carrying names of angels in their pocket. Such as ELI WEMIMO
but yet to know Christ Jesus .
We know HYMNS but we don't know HIM
WE KNOW the songs but we don't know for whom the song was sang.
Paul said , I have purposed to know nothing among you except Christ and him being crucified .
The definition of Revival had been replaced to mean activities, fun , gimmicks.
1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
What the Thessalonians witness about Paul and His ministry. We don't just say God knows who we are but men also know who we are .
We were pure, honest and faultless among you . They have fatherhood relationship with the church not bossy over the church .
We urge you to live lives WORTHY of God ..
It is not everything God consider worthy
Men may applaud you and celebrate you.
Men consider us worthy over what we do
But if God view us, are we worthy ?
He's not talking about Ministry or pulpit but life . Beyond your ability to sing or preach
What God looks for is your life !
Paul started by giving his own testimony
About life of purity and guiltless
Then He encourage others to live such life.
The call into His kingdom is preceded by a life of holiness and puriy
2 Corinthians 4:1 -2
Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
We come by mercy not by merit .
We do not use deception nor distort the word of God . We renounce secret and shameful ways.
There is a haste in your heart
God is not in haste or hurry to see something happen . So we do things in dishonest, to see things happen.
Alot of people now copy 72 HOURS .
Culture means what a group of people believe as tradition and way of Life . There is culture of Revival . A common ground where all revival met.
The men God use for Revival in different locations, different time but there is same value in all of them .
The culture of the Revival is the culture of the kingdom . Let thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
When God spoke to Moses , He gave him the size of furniture for Tabernacle, He also anointed men to do the work. There was orderliness and accuracy before the glory manifest .
God is not on emergency. He waits .
Men come and go but God remains constant.
The culture of Revival can be seen from the pattern of heaven. There is a measuring tape from heaven to check our work if it is according to the one in heaven.
From Eternity, this ministry was sent to replicate what is in heaven . Baba Orimolade was sent with a message and the message remains constant. Men have come to alter the culture and we didn't see the glory .
In the culture of this Revival , there is no solo player . A portion is given to each of us . If you lost the shape of the piece given to you , then you cant fit in to what others got accuratly.
Ask God , what am I doing ?
The fathers of faith left legacy , template built on holiness and consecration.
Paul said to Timothy, the things you have heared from me among many witness, the same commit to others .
We are not pioneer. We are not starting a fresh work. There is nothing you want to start now that is new .
This foundation had been laid by Christ Jesus
The builder should be careful
There is a blueprint for the building
Find out the blueprint
The culture of Revival is the revelation of Christ been seen by all men . The awareness of manifesting Christ
If we organise anything, it must be to reveal Christ to men. Any gathering that is not for revealing Christ to men is not a church but an event .
The end goal of a revival is to ensure we catch the signal of what God is doing in our time and walk in alignment with God to participate in the work and this is by revealing Jesus to men .
You start sermon in the name of God the father , son and holy spirit and end sermon in his name but in the sermon, Jesus is not there.
Prophets who ask their disciples to date them so they can show them higher realms of God are not ministers of Christ .
Our Revival was punctured when our focus was taken away from Christ . Paul said imitate me as I imitate Christ.
We have talent , Anointing and gifts but Jesus needs to be revealed to our generation.
He that is seated upon the cherubim
Until He have his place in our midst.
Look for Jesus .
Our hymns are the message communicate by our father's to us but today we hype the hymns and put percussion to dance and entertain members without understanding the hymns .
IPILE to Jesu
Filele leyi
Ti Baba ALADURA nto...
The Foundation didn't start with Orimolade
He came to build on the foundation
Don't sing to idolize Orimolade
Before we accept the leadership of any man let's ask on which foundation is he building on?
No one should try to outdo anyone
We are send to do different assignments
No need for competition.
We should be complementing not competing
Paul said Apollos waters , Paul plant
God give the increase .
Culture refers to shared beliefs , values or tradition of a community.
THE CULTURE OF PRAYER
Every Revival move start with culture of prayer by individual and group. A burden of prayer . That's why we are called THE ALADURAS .
IF God will birth an agenda on earth there have to be men who will pray .
No Revival happen when there are no INTERCESSOR
DONT BE SLOTHFUL. don't be lazy.
Bible talks about epaphras , he fervently prayed for the church in Colossians.
We don't pray like we should pray .
We only pray loud about battles .
You're a mobile altar
My house shall be called the house of prayer .
There is a dimension of tongues that is not for giving message but communication to God .
There is a tongue for giving message , such tongues needs interpretation for Church to be edified .
We know not what we ought to pray but the Spirit help our infirmity. Romans 8
Prayer is not when there is trouble but a fellowship. Today, what has become a title Baba ALADURA was a nickname .
Jesus prayed at Gethsemane, he was sweating. He called Peter , John and James to pray with him .
The disciples saw a pattern of prayer in life of Jesus Christ. They ask him to teach them how to pray.
Act 2: 43 They continued in Apostle doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers
They saw Jesus pray so they continued .
Before you speak to men
Speak to God first.
THE CULTURE OF SOUND DOCTRINE
Men can build name , empire around what God is doing and they become centre of it . This is because there is no sound doctrine
Most revival don't last more than a decade
Why? No teachers (sound doctrine )
Act 6:1-6
They appointed certain men to serve tables
They gave themselves to prayer and The ministry of the word .
Act 20:32 - I commend you to the word of God
Go back to the word .
Jesus Resurrected and taught them scripture not prayer .
South west - many prayer mountain
Prayer is not wrong , but it must be balanced with doctrine .
Our bible study meeting have the least attendance. Many don't attend bible study .
Act 1:1
Do and teach .
He was teaching.
THE CULTURE OF REPENTANCE AND HOLINESS
When you're corrected , you reference a man anointed who had been divorced.
Our service started with prayer of repentance.
They come with consciousness of humility.
Nudity has become the order
There is a way a prince or princess dress
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 This is the will of God even your sanctification that you should abstain from fornication. Everyone of you should know how to posses your vessel in honour.
Chatting somebody wife at 10pm is fornication. Singles , it is wrong to mess around . You're here doing pornography. On your phone naked women everywhere and you want to take territory for Jesus.
There are things you don't do
There are things you shouldn't say
There are music you can't listen to
Don't touch people's wife , their husband .
Find your own husband , your own wife .
THE CHARACTER OF REVIVALIST
Count the Cost . Ask yourself, can I sacrifice my ambition for this Revival ?
In the day God requires from me things I love , will I be ready ?
They knew they could lost their lives .
God can say stop eating rice
It's not necessarily sin. It's consecration.
Paul said "I count all things lost "
If he asks for your marriage?
It's not all of us that will marry .
Katherine Kumar cried . In her portion marriage wasn't there .
HUMILITY
When God begin to use a man , pride start .
It begans in the heart. When you come to a service and you are not introduced .
We have gifted men but not broken men
A REVIVALIST , God can turn him anyhow .
Philippians 2:3
It takes more than gift and Anointing, it takes brokenness. Jacob was limping, God broke his confidence and hardness .
FAITHFULNESS
If a man lacks integrity, he has no place in the move of God . Many tell lies with ease in business matters and in the church .
You lie that you saw a vision that a sister is your wife . Lies !
Isaiah 6, he said I am a man of unclean lips
Some exaggerate stories on pulpit .
God is not just looking for the gifted but for the faithful.
Psalm 101:6-7
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me;the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house;no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
Liers mis represent God
They use His name to collect money from people .
They say "God is asking for 200k from you"
People are not loyal again in Discipleship
They follow you for platform or fame .
LOVE TO SEE LIFE OF PEOPLE TRANSFORMED
It doesn't matter if you're the one speaking or not . It doesn't matter if you're the Arrow head.
It's not about us about the work.
When a minister is ministering , you're on Google to check wrong words and his mistakes . Some have become Sadducees on Facebook .
May You love what God loves .
Whatever Love is not driving will become empty.
Because you invite me , I must invite you
Is it pulpit swap?
You want to use what God wants to do to build your own empire and not for God but for your name and fame .
We are trying to build but not the building of God . We build for our own name and fame .
