Day 1: Morning Session (Word 3)
Speaker: Pastor Steve Ogah
Topic: Kingdom Dreamers are those that rule the world
Kingdom dreamers rule the world. And that’s the subject we’ll be looking at. Very unique subject, very different subject this morning. Kingdom dreamers are those that rule the world. I’d like to begin this morning by establishing that the kingdom of God is principally a kingdom of mysteries. The kingdom of God is essentially or principally a kingdom of mysteries.
And what are mysteries? Mysteries are simply hidden secrets or concealed truths.
Deuteronomy 29: 29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
The Bible says the secret things belong to God. But the things which are revealed, they now belong to us and our children. Mysteries are simply hidden secrets or concealed truths. They are available to all but accessible by few. Available to all but accessible by few.
Mark 4:1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
and he said to them unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom but unto them that are without all these things are parables they don’t make sense they can’t understand them they can’t interpret them so when we talk about the mysteries of the kingdom they available to every child of God but they are searchable by few that is why the ones who understand the mysteries are the ones that command the wonders that the commanders of the wonders I pray this morning that God will open someone’s eyes here this morning.
Well, if you are saying amen, please say it like a true believer, now, one of the great mysteries of the kingdom of God is the mystery of kingdom dreams. Kingdom dreams. Kingdom dreams. Kingdom dream is gateway to a world of supernatural breakthrough. Kingdom dream is gateway to a world of supernatural breakthrough.
1 Corinthians 2:9 & 10 – But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
But as it is written, the Bible says, I have not seen.
1 Corinthians 2:9 I have not seen nor ears heard, neither has it entered the heart of man, the things that God has reserved or prepared
Not for everyone, not for everyone in church, not for everyone shouting hallelujah, not for everyone jumping and jubilating in church, but for them that love him, so the best of God is reserved for lovers of God, the best of God though available to all but reserved exclusively for lovers of God. Those with kingdom dreams, those whose heart are panting after the advancement of the kingdom.
So, the best of God is reserved for kingdom dreamers. Those with a heart for God, those whose hearts are aligned with God, those who are passionate for the advancement, the promotion of the kingdom and its agenda. I see many of such seated here this morning. God will use many people seated here to advance his kingdom. If you are saying amen, shout it like a true believer.
In other words, a heart for God is the breeding ground for kingdom dreams. A heart for God is the breeding ground for kingdom dreams.
1 kings 8:17 & 18 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18And the LORD said unto David my father, whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
It was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. And in verse 18, and the Lord said unto David, my father, whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart. David’s heart was panting that there must be a house erected in honor of God. And God acknowledged the heartbeat of a man. and God said concerning David that goes well that this desire, this dream was in your heart. That is why David called a man after God’s own heart.
1 Samuel 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
He carried in his heart a dream to build a house unto the Lord. This was acknowledged by God, as I began to study, I saw an episode in
1 Chronicles 22: 1 – 11 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So, David prepared abundantly before his death.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.
And David said to Solomon, my son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God:
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
We touch a few verses there. And David said, “This is the house of the Lord God. And this is the altar of the burnt offering of Israel, David commanded that they gather together all the strangers. He gathered the masons. And in verse three, David prepared iron in abundance for the nail for the doors of the gate and for the joining’s and brass in abundance. So, David began to gather all the materials needed for the building of the house. Why? His heart was panting after God. His heart was panting that a house must be built in honor of the name of God.
And in verse five, and David said, Solomon, my son, is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent. Not an ordinary house. David knew that the best only qual only belongs to his God. The best. He said, “The house that is to be built for my God must be magnificent, of fame, and of glory throughout all countries, meaning, there must not be any house anywhere on the earth that should stand beside this house that should be built for my God.
That was the kind of heartbeat David had, and watch what he said. I would therefore now make preparation for it. I will make preparation abundantly before his death. David had desired to build a house, but the Lord had instructed that you have been a man of war all your life. You have shed so much blood before my sight. You shall not build a house for me. But your son Solomon, a man of peace, a man that I will give rest from his enemies. Verse nine of the same scripture, he said, a son shall be born to thee who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies round about. His name shall be Solomon. I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days. he shall build a house for my name and he shall be my son and I’ll give and I’ll be his father and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever, but you see what David did? David prepared everything needed for the building of the house. Why? That was the heartbeat of David.
The question every one of us must answer is what kingdom dream rules your heart? What kingdom dream rules your heart? What contribution do you desire to make towards the advancement of the kingdom?
Unfortunately, today we live in a generation driven by personal dreams without recourse to any kingdom dream. You see an average young person today, all the person is thinking about is my dream job, my dream house, my dream car, my dream wife, my dream husband. I love the way the assistant resident pastor in his teaching this morning began to explain the kind of dream he had then before he became a man of God. He wanted a slim huh but God gave him blessing. Blessing. Blessing. I won’t use the word he used but blessing.
Many carry nice dreams. my husband must have six packs, must be tall, must be handsome, he must not carry pimple, Clean fresh boy, that’s all that rules their heart. the young man is thinking ah beautiful lady figure eight, not I, and it begins to qualify and paint pictures yet without the slightest clue on anything about the kingdom, you ask an average young person, “What value do you want to add to the kingdom?” No clue. How many souls do you want to add to the kingdom? No clue.
Please hear me this morning. all kingdom advancement dreamers are ordained high flyers in the journey of life; all kingdom advancement dreamers they are ordained as high flyers in the journey of life. When the young man testifying this morning, brother Cherry, I was listening very carefully to his testimony and I love his testimony, he said his house rent was due last year, August 30th and that was the burden on his heart. That was all that mattered when he came. But upon the mountain of AYAC, something shifted. All of a sudden, his heart began to pant after the kingdom without recourse, that is how tren was due in a few days. And because his heart shifted from self to God, God stepped into his affair. And if you see the way God began to work things out for him, two days to the expiration of his rent, the landlord now gave quick notice, which now gave him ample time to plan for the next place to move to. So, two days that maybe would have kicked him out, he now gave him quick notice that okay, take some months so he can look for somewhere else to go. And within the time frame as everything shifted to kingdom, as his heartbeat began to shift to the matters of the kingdom, everything began to change. Miracle jobs, miracle expansion, and God now gave him a beautiful house and God gave him a beautiful wife.
For anyone that is sensitive, you must have discovered that there’s something about marriage happening this season, do you did you catch did you catch that? Most of the testimonies have been revolved. Even the one that is serving as a copper, he married still, so that simply means prophetically if there’s anyone on the line for miracle marriage, congratulations. Did you hear me? Well, I said congratulations. One more time, I said to you congratulations. So come AYAC 2025 you’ll be standing here with your spouse. I can only hear the ladies shouting amen. Can I hear the men also shout amen?
You know it’s most of the brothers that have been testifying about marriage, something is changing. Oh, the men are no longer shy to get married. Glory to God.
Now, one with a heart for God cannot be lost in the crowd. anyone with a heart for God, genuine heart for God, cannot be lost in the crowd. you cannot have a heart for God and not make great marks on the earth. Great marks, distinguished marks.
1 Kings 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places
speaking of Solomon, the Bible says, and Solomon loved the Lord, that was the only qualifier Solomon had, if you check cultural scriptures, he was not a fighter, was not a warrior, the only qualifier that Solomon had in all of scripture was that Solomon loved the Lord, and he began to walk in the statues of his father, and another giant emerged. in fact, Solomon was so blessed that there was none in the class of Solomon all the days of his life, everywhere kingdom dreams, a man after God’s own heart, and in first kings chapter 4 from verse 29-31 the Bible says and God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much and of heart even as the sand that is on the seashore and Solomon’s wisdom a man who loved God began to manifest divine wisdom.
Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men, distinguished. He was wiser than all men in a class all by his own. And his fame was in all nations round about, So God announced him globally. May I pray for one person here? Between now and 2026, God will announce you,, Well, if you believe that word, your amen is louder than your neighbors.
But what is your kingdom dream? Seeking God with the whole of one’s heart is all about thinking kingdom advancement priority thoughts, what is ruling your heart? what are the thoughts that occupy priority placement in your heart?
As we all know, whatever one desires when he believes, he will also receive. we see Mark 11:4, we saw how all Judah rejoiced at the oath to serve God, they made a choice to align their hearts with God, they made a choice to align with the agenda of the kingdom, and the Bible say God gave them rest. God gave them rest. God gave them rest, that’s the same way God will give somebody here rest.
But quickly, who is a kingdom dreamer? No assumption, who is a kingdom dreamer? Let’s take a few definitions. number one, a kingdom dreamer is one who is passionately committed to the advancement of the kingdom and the promotion of his agenda, one who is passionately committed to the advancement of the kingdom of God. What rules that one is kingdom. Kingdom. Kingdom. The priority of that man’s heart is the kingdom. passionately committed to the advancement of the kingdom and the promotion of his agenda.
John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work
Jesus said, my meat is to do the will of the father of him that sent me and to finish his work. That’s the priority for me. I’m committed to the agenda of the kingdom.
Who is a kingdom dreamer?
- One who places God and the kingdom as ultimate priority in his life, one who places God and the kingdom as ultimate priority.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
We all know that scripture, but sometimes we quote the scripture without thinking through the scripture. The Bible says here, “But seek ye first,” in other words, other things may contend and contest for that place, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things shall be added to you, and what are the things that will be added? If you check the earlier verses, it’s the things that others struggle after. what to wear, what to eat, those are the things that we take thoughts of, what shall we eat? What shall we drink? Or where thou shall we be clothed? But it says in verse 32, he said, “But after all these things to the Gentiles seek.” but your heavenly father knows, he knows, he knows that you have need of all these things, so where you are seated, God knows what you need, where you are seated, God knows the matters of your heart, he knows, but he simply given a commandment in verse 33, he said, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the things that you need, you will not need to pray for them., you will not need to pursue them.
You will not need to beg for them. They will be added to you. There’s someone here as your heart begins to beat after the kingdom, everything that your peers are struggling to get, God will be adding them to you. Well, if you are saying amen, shout it like a true believer.
The things that others sweat to get, they sweat to get miracle jobs, they swear to get breakthrough in business and career. God is saying, “I’ll be adding them to you.” For somebody here, you’ll still be on the mountain of a 2025. but your heart panting after God and you’ll be getting the alert for your miracle job.
- One who willfully sacrifices all for the matter of the kingdom, one who willfully sacrifices all for the matters of the kingdom, we talk about Solomon, a man who loved God, but this man was a dangerous giver. There was nothing too valuable in his hand that he could not let go for God. In the same
1kings 3:3&4 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
4And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
Solomon loved the Lord but in verse four see what Solomon did and the king went to Gibon to sacrifice there for that was the great high place and what did he sacrifice a thousand burnt offering did Solomon offer upon that altar, prior to that time no one had ever given that volume one man carried a thousand burnt offering and tabled before God, and I could imagine God perceiving a very delicious smell and aroma from heaven. And he came down and said to Solomon, “Ask what I will do for thee.” Ask and Solomon did not stop there
2 Chronicles 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
When I saw this, King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 202,000 oxen. That is 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep, one man before the Lord. So, Solomon sacrificed beyond the limits and boundaries established by anyone and he touched what others could not touch.
You are a kingdom dreamer. How much are you willing to let go for God? What is that thing in your hand that is too big to let go for God? I’ve used an example per adventure for many many years. that you have been trekking and trekking and trekking and trekking that everyone around your neighborhood they know you. In fact, they know you by your shoes. Your shoe has been inclined to angle 90. You know those kinds of shoes? Those shoes that if they come in the next life and they hear your name, they will run away. Those shoes that already know the road that whether you are there or not, the shoe can move on its own. And then after many years, after many mockeries, God now blesses you with a car. And then you have that car and you begin to drive on the same path you have been trekking and trekking and trekking that many have mocked you. And then you are driving and the same people that are mocking you are standing on the road and you are greeting them like this. You know that kind of wave. And then all of a sudden as you are cruising in that car you hear a voice. Give me that car. All of a sudden you begin to remember scriptures. The voice of the stranger you will not hear. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I bind every satanic voice. It is written when he speaks, he only speaks peace. You begin to quote scripture the blessings of the Lord. It makes rich and has no sorrow. Satan, I bind you. And God says, when you finish binding me, give me that car for the advancement of my kingdom.
I am reminded of the year 2009 at the Shilo impartation service I sat somewhere at the honor entrance and I was all charged and excited and I said Lord I want to give you something that cost me, be careful the kind of prayer you pray sometimes and so I was pacing all charged I want to give you something I love you so much I want to advance the kingdom and I had with me that car I left where I was standing I shifted to the next place and I said, Lord, I want to give you something that cost me. And I heard again, give me that car, I said, I moved again. And I heard a third time, give me that car. Now, I just bought the first brand new car in my life that year, black Kia Serato, the plate number RW601 AAA, I sometime believe even in heaven I may remember that plate number and I heard give me that car, in fact that car was so dear to me that anyone that knew me at that time knew me with that car. You touch that car I will touch you, I left the nylon on the car, I bathed that car like bathing a child, and the Lord said, give me that car for the advancement of the kingdom. And after the service, I was so humbled. I went out, packed all my things, put in my backpack, drove the car to the church office, went into the reception, gave it to the I met a pastor there, gave him the key, gave him the document. he said, what is this? I said, I brought a seed for the Lord. and he said, what is? I said, It’s a car. He said, that’s your car? because anyone that knew me then knew me with that car? I said, Yes, and the pastor said, Hallelujah.
Oh, real life story, and I left that car and I went back to where I was staying. And when I got to where I was staying, walked into the house, the wife of my friend whose place I was staying that time asked, where is the car? and I said, Ownership has changed hands, so she began say, what? What do you mean by ownership? she said, but the husband understood, to cut the long story short, the next day the Lord asked me, how many cars do you want that year? now I was a bachelor then, still in the market then. and I said, Lord, let me be conservative, but I won’t mind three so I can use one in the morning. then well, the summary of that testimony is that before the next year, Shilo, there were three vehicles there.
Now, what is my message? No one serves God at a loss. You don’t promote the kingdom of God at a loss. You don’t carry kingdom dreams at a loss. Everyone committed to the advancement of the kingdom, God is committed to your own advancement. May I announce to somebody here before next year AYAC 2026 God would have changed your story permanently.
But many claim to love God, many claim to carry kingdom dreams. Yet they can’t let go anything for the promotion of the kingdom. Everything in their hand is like this arodite akagon, even to give offering in church is problem. Nothing. I said pastor yes, I have kingdom dreams but nothing can leave your hand. I remember the testimony of our father. He said he used to see churches being built for years, years upon years. The first committee will die and go and the church is not yet completed, and his heart was pained. And he began to say, “Lord, if you bless me, I want to build churches everywhere. That was a kingdom dream. And at the time, he said, Lord, bless me enough. I want to build a thousand churches. One man like Solomon that offered a thousand burnt offering. He said I want to build a thousand churches before my time is up. And little by little because God saw the genuineness of his heart. the first one was built, the second one was built, the third one was built, the 10th one was built, the 20th one was built at a goal 100 built one time. maybe you are sited there and saying when God blesses me like God’s servant, I’ll begin to build churches. Start from where you are. You can’t build a church you can buy a chair. Are you hearing what I’m saying? You can’t build a church you can buy five chairs. but start at your level. Every time God sees a kingdom desire in your heart, he will make the kingdom provision. Something is changing for somebody here. Well, if you are saying amen, say it like a true believer.
Who is a kingdom dreamer?
A kingdom dreamer is one that is committed to aligning with scriptural commands as it pertains to being a blessing to others.
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
the Lord speaking to Abraham, he said, I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee and I will make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing. You shall be a blessing to all the nations of the earth. The scripture says, charge them that are rich amongst them, charge them, give them that commandment that they be rich in good works, don’t just keep for yourself as that foolish rich man that kept gathering and accumulating and accumulating. Be committed to being a blessing to others. Many of us at the level where we are, we can send other children to school. At the levels that we are, we can build churches. Some of us at the level that we are, we can contribute to successful outreaches. But what is in your heart? What dreams rule your heart? What passion engulfs your heart? How committed are you to aligning with the scriptural commandments as it pertains to blessing others? Well, I know there are people here God will use you to help orphans. Many of you here, God will bless you to a point that you’ll be sending children to school that you don’t even know them. Well, if you believe that, say a louder amen.
Seeking first the interest of the kingdom begins with the heart. Seeking first the interest of the kingdom begins with the heart. The heart.
Psalm 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
When thou say, seek my face, my heart saith unto thee, thy face, oh Lord, will I seek.
1kings 8:17, it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. But you know the interesting thing, God knows what is in everyone’s heart. Man may not know, your neighbor may not know, your pastor may not know, your friend may not know, but God knows. God does not look like man looks. Man looks and judges with the outside. But God looks at the heart. Oh, I love you. God say it’s a lie. Your heart is far from me. Oh God, if you bless me, I will advance the kingdom. I will build churches. I will help the orphans. I’ll be a blessing to widows. God says to you, if I bless you, as you are living, you’re going to buy a car. You’re going to go for vacation. I know you. I’m not saying going for a vacation is wrong. I’m not saying buying a car is wrong, but what’s the priority in your heart?
1Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
And the Lord said unto Samuel, look not at his countenance, don’t judge by his countenance. Don’t be deceived by the height of his stature because I have refused him. For the Lord seeth not as man seeth. For man lookth on the outward appearance. That’s what man sees. But the Lord looked on the heart. God sees every man’s heart clear. HD clean clear.
Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
I the Lord I search the heart, so God is searching the heart of everyone seated here this morning. God is searching the heart of every youth gathered across the globe. What is the thing taking the priority place in your heart? What kind of dream is number one in your heart? Are they for your selfish interest? Are they for your personal gains? Or are they for the advancement of the kingdom?
But you know something also interesting? Everyone also knows what is in his own heart. The same way God knows what is in your heart. You also know what is in your heart. You know what is priority to you. You know what is number one in your order of preference.
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God
You know for what man knoweth the things of a man? Save the spirit of that man. Save the spirit of that man
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
That’s why it says to us, examine yourself. We all must examine ourselves. There are many of us before we leave the mountain of AYAC, we order your priorities. Let the matters of the kingdom take number one place. Let the advancement of the kingdom become your number one priority. and watch it. All the things that you have been struggling for many years, they’ll be added to you. You will not sweat over them anymore. I said you will not beg over them anymore.
And I close with this. One’s heartbeat for God is what guarantees his ultimate impact on the earth. One’s heartbeat for God. once had beat for God is what guarantees his ultimate impact on the earth. We see the man Job in
Job 1 &1 – 3 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
wonderful man of God. His name was Job, a perfect and an upright man, one that feared God and ensued evil. And so said to him, was born unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance also 7,000 sheep, very blessed man, great household, greatest man in the east. But what was the secret of the greatness of Job?
Job 29:4 – 5 & 11 – 12 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
As it was in the days of my youth. Thank God we are all in the days of our youth when the secret of the Lord was upon my tabernacle. Verse five, if you continue to read down is why the Almighty was yet with me. My children round about me jumped quickly. I washed my steps with butter and the rocks poured me out rivers of oil. Verse seven, quickly, I went out to the gates through the city. When I prepared my seat in the streets, we’re going to verse 12. The young men saw me, they hid themselves. The aged rose and they stood up. The princes refrained from talking and laid their hand on their mouth. The nobles had their peace. That’s the kind of honor that Job had. Verse 11. Quickly, when the ear heard me, it blessed me. When the eye saw me, it gave witness to me. And what was the secret? because I delivered the poor that cried and the fatherless and him that had none to help him. So, the making of Job was tied to his heart for God and for humanity, for the kingdom dreams that ruled him.
I pray from this moment; may everyone’s heart begin to beat after God. May the agenda of the kingdom take first place in the heart of every youth here. If you have said amen, say it like a true believer. Now jump on your feet and shout a resounding amen.
You give God his first place, he gives you his first place. You make God first; he makes you first. You want kingdom boom, carry a kingdom dream. The best of God is reserved for lovers of God.
