Understanding the Kingdom; The Power of Scripture and the Trial of the Word | Rev. Dele Osunmakinde | Understanding The Kingdom | GLA Teaching Conference 2025 | Day 3
Apostle Dr. Osunmakinde centered on the importance of understanding, the nature of kingdom growth, and spiritual warfare.Learning the Kingdom from Jesus: Jesus, who manifested perfection, not only lived out the kingdom but taught it for three and a half years, drawing from 30 years of observation and experience. He only taught what He experienced and practiced.The Path to Purpose: Fulfilling purpose requires a posture of sitting, listening, and asking questions. The kingdom is not arrived at but grown into through knowledge, even while working (e.g., Jesus the carpenter).Understanding and Warfare: Lack of understanding triggers spiritual warfare, which is fundamentally a trial of the word. The Holy Spirit is always ahead of the enemy.The Power of Scripture: The best way to root what God told you is to establish it from scriptures. If you cannot scripturize what God told you, the devil will steal it. The enemy does not fear fasting and praying; he dreads your understanding.Avoiding Error: We must go into extreme study before extreme fasting. No scripture interprets itself; every scripture must be viewed in the whole counsel to avoid error.The Danger of Worshiping Satan: Anytime a believer gives credit to Satan, believes they are cursed, worries, or speaks anything other than the Word of God in a situation, it is an act of worship to Satan. We must use the same energy for worry to worship God.Conduct and Anointing: A kingdom-minded man cannot live with offense. You cannot be offended and anointed at the same time. We must learn to put the Lord ever before us and put things behind us.

The Faith of Jesus and the Cleansed Life | Pastor Chngtok Ishaku | Understanding The Kingdom | GLA Teaching Conference 2025 | Day 3
Pastor Ishaku focused on the theme of divine identity, faith, and the process of spiritual cleansing.Divine Identity & Manifestation: The coming of the celestial (manifestation of God's plan) and the spiritual (full expression of God's life) are activated by believing and embracing your divine living and identity.The Faith of Jesus: Our acceptance by God is not by our works, but by the "faith of Jesus", which He supplied even at salvation. Any work that leads to boasting cannot glorify God.Cleansing & Repentance: The process of cleansing begins with identification. Repentance and godly sorrow are the antidotes for the flesh. We must ask the Spirit of Christ to help identify the fleshly things that conscience doesn't touch because they may seem "good in religious sight."Pressure and Purpose: Pressure is designed to suppress the flesh so the treasure of God can be revealed and to expose what needs to be dealt with.Living by Revelation: We must believe what Jesus inspires in us, even if it doesn't "make sense" or if others don't believe it. Our calling will not be logical.Uniqueness: Every believer has a unique breath and fragrance, no one can manifest the uniqueness of another.

The Kingdom of God; A Dimension of Accurate Knowledge | Apostle Dele Osunmakinde | GLA Teaching Conference | Understanding The Kingdom (Day 2)
Apostle Makinde tackled the issue of Christian effectiveness, using the comparison of believers to John the Baptist as a launchpad for discussing the necessity of accurate knowledge and doctrine.1. Moving Beyond John the BaptistThe Greater Truth: The scripture states the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist. If this is true, our current manifestation is lacking.Growth and Knowledge: The fact that you are limited in knowledge does not stop your growth in the Kingdom; however, a lack of accurate knowledge is a great disservice.John is Emerging Truth: We must move beyond "emerging truth" (like John's) to the present truth of the Kingdom.The Right Lens: Delays are often not demonic but because a lesson is not yet learned. We must view matters from a Kingdom lens.2. The Power of Accurate Knowledge and DoctrineGrace and Peace: Grace and peace are only multiplied through knowledge. We must grow with the whole counsel of God.Separate Pathways: The knowledge pathway and the spiritual pathway are different and must be combined; fasting and praying are not substitutes for knowledge.Doctrine is Foundation: Scriptures are profitable first for doctrine before correction. Handling scripture without passing through the corridor of doctrine will lead to its abuse.The Word Over the Pastor: The word can do better than what we look for pastors to do. It is our ultimate reliance. Inheritance is entered when the word is shared.3. Manifesting Kingdom LifeFunction Without Title: When the Kingdom hits, you don't need a title; you just function. Your business or profession should be where Kingdom is done.Kingdom Citizens: The purpose of doing church is to raise Kingdom citizens. A Kingdom church must be both prophetic and teaching.The Test of Understanding: The wicked one (Satan) comes only to check your understanding. Satan is not afraid of your prayers and fasting, but of your understanding of what God said.

The Cost And Authority Of The Kingdom | Pastor Chingtok Ishaku | GLA Teaching Conference 2025 | Understanding The Kingdom | Day 2.
Pastor Ishaku delivered a deep and multi-faceted message on Kingdom principles, commitment, and authority.1. The Priority of the KingdomDefining Iniquity: Iniquity is the desire to achieve what the Kingdom hasn't given you (e.g., Lucifer's sin).Kingdom vs. Carnality: Hunger for personal gain is the greatest opposition to the Kingdom. Carnality is feeling unsuccessful despite what the Kingdom has provided.The Greatest Waste: Prayer centered around personal needs is a great waste of Kingdom time.Absolute Surrender: A person's commitment to the Lord must be supreme; there should be nothing you cannot stop the moment God speaks. Security must not be bound to possessions. We must live expending ourselves on the Kingdom of God.2. Authority and FaithFinished Work: Everything desired in the new creation reality is already finished. The issue is not with God's will, but with the receiver (our faith and understanding).Delegated Authority: Jesus’s authority is for His Body, the Church. Not using the authority in His name is a waste of His purpose.Manifesting Authority: The Kingdom manifests through you only to the degree of your faith. God delights to see you living in the authority He won.3. The Process of Making and InheritanceSeeking the Kingdom: The Kingdom doesn't stumble into you; it must be vehemently sought and pursued. The proof of seeking is pursuit.Kingdom Purpose: Health, prosperity, or soundness of mind only profit God if their strength and resources are channeled towards Kingdom purposes.The Three Stages of Inheritance:Admiration: Find a Kingdom cause and serve faithfully, emulating the leader's pattern of faith.Service: Must be followed with faithful service.Faithfulness: Serving another man as you would if the Kingdom were in your hands.The Importance of Making: Making (the process of being developed) is crucial because God will not risk giving irretrievable Kingdom authority to an unmade man.The cure for barrenness and unfruitfulness is making. We must grow well first, not just grow big.Staying in the Storm: To survive trials, you must be conscious of the prophecies spoken to you and insist on saying what God says over what the enemy says.
