Summary

In this powerful session from the WWP 2021 Annual Retreat, Apostle Orokpo Michael emphasizes the importance of building capacity in prayer. He highlights that the realm of God is a kingdom with a ranking system based on authority and relevance, not just family. True relevance and authority in the kingdom come through becoming a priest, an intercessor, who partners with God to advance His purpose. The sermon details how prayer is not merely about asking for needs but about a deeper relationship with God, leading to spiritual stamina, ascension, and stillness, where individuals become channels for God's glory and purpose.

Highlights

Ordination of Warriors and Intercessors

Apostle Orokpo Michael begins by stating that many warriors and lionesses will emerge from this meeting, not by power or might, but by the Spirit of God. He emphasizes that some are ready for an outpouring, not just a message, and that spiritual badges are being given to those being enrolled into God's army. An ordination is taking place, activating people into deeper spiritual dimensions, realms of power, and glory. Activations and ordinations are taking place, breaking demonic strongholds, lifting the spirit of heaviness, fear, and timidity. A specific miracle is prophesied for someone with an inner growth, which is then declared terminated by the power of the Holy Spirit. Another healing takes place for a woman suffering from hypertension, curses against afflictions and spirits of fear are broken.

Building Capacity in Prayer: A Charge

The session transitions into a charge on building capacity in prayer. The speaker explains that the emphasis of the spirit is to build capacity, not just to receive answers to personal prayers, but to become a source of answers for others. He states that when an army of praying women rises, Jesus may come soon because of their geometric efficacy and productivity. He prays for homes to become a 'potter' where the Holy Spirit and angels traffic continually.

The Ranking System in God's Kingdom

The Apostle explains that the realm of God is a kingdom with a ranking system, where individuals are ranked based on their authority and relevance to the King's purpose. Unlike a family where birthright grants privileges, the kingdom has other indices for ranking. God is not just a Father (benevolent) but also a King (seeking dominion) and a Judge. Engaging with God only as a Father for personal needs is limiting. In the New Testament, ranking is based on one's ability to interact with the Holy Spirit and advance the kingdom, regardless of gender. Children are considered the least in the kingdom as they are consumers, while sons are transformed to be like God and led by the Spirit. Elders are mature enough to legislate. Priests are the most ranking, as God originally designed His kingdom for priests who intercede for His will. Priesthood is essential for rulership and wielding authority in the kingdom, as exemplified by Job, Moses, and Anna the prophetess. Intercessors are those who engage in governmental prayer, making things happen from the altar, unlike those who only pray for personal needs.

Laws Governing Prayer and Capacity Building

Building capacity in prayer involves understanding the laws that govern it. The first is the mystery of reverential submission, where one's will aligns with God's will. God trusts intercessors because they prioritize His will over their own, even sacrificing personal desires like family or business for His kingdom. This is demonstrated by Jesus in Gethsemane and Hannah, who was willing to give up her son for God's purpose. This level of selfless prayer elevates individuals to greater authority. The second law is a journey of faith born through intimacy, diligently seeking God for His person, not just His provisions. When one seeks God Himself, all other needs become by-products. This intimacy transforms individuals into breakthroughs rather than merely seeking breakthroughs, establishing them as epicenters of divine reality. The lecturer encourages women to travail and birth things in the spirit, converting their natural role as 'begetters' into spiritual birthing through prayer.

Realms of Prayer: Stamina, Ascension, and Stillness

The first realm of prayer is stamina, which is not about willpower but about yielding to the Holy Spirit, allowing His energy to sustain prolonged prayer. This enables spiritual discernment, helping one see beyond appearances and understand intentions. Stamina empowers women to be spiritual compasses and builders of their homes, leading through prayer and incubation of God's purposes. The second realm is ascension, where continuous prayer leads to receiving feedback from heaven, visions, angelic visitations, and deeper insights into God's plans for families and territories. God often uses those who seem insignificant to achieve great things through ascension. The third realm is stillness, where one's spirit is so gathered that their words become legislative, wielding spiritual weapons and manifesting God's glory naturally. The speaker urges women to embrace these realms, as many mantles and graces await them.

Restoration and Activation of Spiritual Gifts
01:19:24

Apostle Michael declares that God is restoring lost visions, callings, and graces. Many women who once had clear visions, angelic encounters, or a passion for fasting might have lost them due to family affairs or life's crises. He prophesies an awakening, where these spiritual gifts will be reactivated, and perceived disadvantages will turn into advantages. He specifically calls for the activation of the anointing of the seer and the spirit of fasting, encouraging the congregation to pray for the restoration of these spiritual weapons and capacities.

Breaking Limitations and Operating in Power

The sermon concludes with a fervent prayer session, urging attendees to identify and cast off anything hindering their spiritual journey, such as distractions, worldly desires, gossip, anger, or hatred. These 'weights' prevent deeper communion with God and hinder participation in His army. The Apostle emphasizes that God is raising an army from all spheres of life—government, academia, business—where intercessors will be rulers and gatekeepers. He challenges the notion that prayer is for the 'poor members' of the church, asserting it is a calling for everyone to prevent calamity and preserve generations. The session ends with powerful prayers for healing, deliverance from afflictions, and the activation of spiritual gifts, especially the anointing of the seer, as the Holy Ghost moves through the assembly.
