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.

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.

Pastor Chingtok Ishaku closes out Day 2 of the conference

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 Baptist

• The 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 Doctrine

• Grace 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 Life

• Function 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.
