1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,040
Do you know that you are a work of art?

2
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:14,800
Man is the greatest product of God.

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,080
I mean, a man designed to think, talk and act with God.

4
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,560
Are you living in tune with God?

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,840
What is your status before God today?

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,080
Without the indwelling grace of the Holy Spirit, 
man is but a shadow of the one God created!

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,840
The man God created was not a mere carnal one 
governed by his senses

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,240
but a communicator between the visible and invisible worlds.

9
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,800
God and man used to talk together as friends.

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,760
But one day man broke the relationship by disobedience 
and went away from God.

11
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,240
He then went further away until finally he left home.

12
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,600
He left his native land, Eden, where he lived with God.

13
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,400
He emigrated from God’s presence.

14
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Since then, God has been eager to be 
talking again with His old friend

15
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,040
but man, in leaving the presence of his Creator, 
had lost his mother tongue.

16
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,160
I mean, he lost his original language with God

17
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,720
and became unable to communicate with his Creator
in spirit and in truth.

18
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:42,800
The natural man cannot hear or talk to God; 
this is the challenge we are facing today.

19
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:49,880
Although God speaks again and again, so many do not 
pay attention to what He says (Job 33:14).

20
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,920
The silence is hard on God.

21
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,440
As eager as the father of the prodigal son was
to see his son come back home,

22
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,360
God is eager to be on intimate terms again with man,
His old friend.

23
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,680
That is why He had to choose a language that man 
would understand.

24
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:18,200
So He sent His Son, Jesus Christ on earth to bring man, 
His old friend, back to Himself.

25
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,120
God honoured the human language by calling Jesus the Word.

26
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,880
The Word became flesh and entered the world.

27
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Jesus is God spelling Himself out in a language
that man can understand,

28
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,640
a language of spirit and life (John 6:63).

29
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:46,160
For how long will we continue to think, talk and live in the natural when Jesus is waiting for you at the point of His Spirit?

30
00:02:52,320 --> 00:03:01,280
From our many years of learning under and walking with God’s General, Prophet TB Joshua, until he was called Home to Heaven,

31
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,000
a passion has kindled in our hearts to impart 
the treasure God has given us,

32
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,600
the living Word in the power of the Holy Spirit!

33
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,800
The letter of the Word cannot move, cannot operate without 
the life of God (John 6:63).

34
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Every Word of God is Spirit and life and it is the very life of God
in that Word that injects power, energy to the Word.

35
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,640
This is the Word that heals, saves, delivers and enables the believer to live a victorious life in Christ.

36
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:38,560
Just like Simon Peter in John 6:68, we have discovered 
that there is no alternative to Jesus

37
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,400
because only He has the Words of eternal life.

38
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:51,240
After our mentor was called Home on 5 June 2021,
like the disciples of old, when Jesus ascended to Heaven,

39
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,040
we have been waiting in faith.

40
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:23,440
I found myself in a glass compartment
inside a cave without exit.

41
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,680
Suddenly a mighty rock came from Heaven

42
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,160
and hit the rocky mountain.

43
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,320
It pierced the cave.

44
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,040
The mountain shook
but I remained steady inside the glass compartment.

45
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:48,560
The rock drilled through the rocky mountain.

46
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,160
I watched.

47
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Then I came out and walked.

48
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,640
I stopped and gasped as I saw

49
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:06,080
the rock had drilled a perfect beautiful tunnel
made of gold!

50
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:12,200
I said to myself, there must be water
at the end of this tunnel.

51
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360
I started walking.

52
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,360
Suddenly a voice came from above:

53
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:25,520
“Stay where you are. Don’t enter!
The water is coming to you.”

54
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,760
I stopped and stayed where I was.

55
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:36,920
As I stood still, suddenly I saw the water flowing
from the end of the tunnel towards me.

56
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,280
The water was clear, sparkling with life.

57
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,360
It flowed closer

58
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,240
until it reached my toes

59
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000
and washed my feet as a wave at the seashore.

60
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,080
and washed my feet as a wave at the seashore.

61
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:01,960
While I was pondering on the vision, my heart prompted me
to the Book of Daniel 2:44.

62
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,720
What is the purpose of the rock?

63
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,760
The purpose of the rock is to remove the barrier between
our heart and God.

64
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,880
When a man yields his heart to the Holy Spirit, 
the veil is taken away.

65
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:25,120
The Word of God is the seed of divine life that comes 
into our heart and causes faith to grow.

66
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,120
The vision is for an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3).

67
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:44,480
The vision is to link man back to God through His Word, 
by His Spirit, to edify the Body of Christ

68
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,840
and to cooperate with a network of churches
all around the world.

69
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,720
The vision is in line with the calling and gift of God in our lives.

70
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:03,840
The rock that fell from Heaven is the Word 
of the Kingdom as Jesus said in Matthew 13:19.

71
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Our vision is to help get the Word into people’s hearts - 
because it is only there that it works effectively.

72
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360
During the last two decades under the mentorship 
of Prophet TB Joshua,

73
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,280
our interaction with thousands of believers and 
church leaders worldwide

74
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:48,480
and the recurring questions raised by so many during lectures
have drawn our focus to the practical side of Christianity,

75
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,840
I mean, our daily walk with the Holy Spirit:

76
00:08:52,840 --> 00:09:01,200
how to develop spiritual awareness, how to hear from God, 
how to build one´s faith in the face of life’s uncertainties.

77
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,160
These core issues and others will be addressed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

78
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,720
through in-depth teaching sessions with time for 
interactive questions and answers.

79
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,760
Our vision also embraces local churches.

80
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:28,720
We want to cooperate with a network of ministries to impart our knowledge, experience, and spiritual gifts as the Spirit leads.

81
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,080
Until today’s church realises that the spirit of man is 
the fountain of faith,

82
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,000
that is when the Holy Spirit will be involved in our affairs.

83
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,200
As our mentor, Prophet TB Joshua taught us,

84
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:55,320
“In the University of God, however brilliant you may be, 
you will not be given double promotion,

85
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,840
you must take every course for each course serves a purpose.”

86
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720
So, what do you need?

87
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,320
An open heart.

88
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:13,760
What are the materials required to take every course - to not give up, look for alternatives or despair at life’s often cruel blows?

89
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:23,720
Humility, faith, endurance, perseverance, forgiveness
and love without expectation.

90
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Who marks our work?

91
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,440
The Holy Spirit.
