One-on-One

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s provides a piercing analysis of Numbers 22, exploring the encounter between Balaam and Balak to warn against greed, spiritual blindness, and the refusal to move in God’s direction.Apostle Conliff emphasizes that a believer’s victory is contingent on their relationship with God, whom she affectionately calls "Daddy". She argues that God will "wait until a spirit of humility hits you" before moving on your behalf. A core tenet of the message is that when you want God to move, you must first move in His direction rather than expecting Him to revolve around your unchanged life.Analyzing Balaam, Apostle Conliff identifies him as a sorcerer whom God used for a specific purpose, to prove that even the heathen cannot curse those whom God has blessed. She highlights that Balaam had the "best opportunity" to showcase God but was blinded by greed for money. She warns the congregation: "When your opportunity come... do not mess with it. For it may never return".A major point is that King Balak was terrified of the Israelites not because of their own strength, but because of the reputation of their God who "licked up" the Amorites and drowned Pharaoh. Apostle Conliff challenges believers: "Your enemies must know who your God is". She asserts that without a visible demonstration of God's faithfulness, a testimony of victory, the enemy will not back off.Building on her consistent themes of moral integrity, Apostle Conliff delivers a stern rebuke to the youth regarding social media and pornography. She calls for a "spiritual reset," urging young people to "push up your eyes" to pass exams and earn degrees rather than wasting hours on digital distractions. She declares that the body is the temple of God, and one must not bring "dirtiness" into it through fornication or "double-mindedness" (e.g., using charms or sorcery while serving Jesus).The Apostle explains that living only on "yesterday's grace" can lead to a downfall. She notes that God often speaks a "fresh word" to give new direction. In Numbers 22, God initially told Balaam not to go, but later told him to rise and go; Apostle Conliff warns that those stuck in "microwave life" (reheating yesterday's word) may miss the current order of heaven.The sermon reaches a climax in the irony of the donkey seeing the Angel of the Lord while the prophet, blinded by anger and "sorcery business," remained deaf and blind to danger. Apostle Conliff warns that "prophets could miss it" under the anointing if they are not sober and diligent. She implores intercessors and worshippers to remain "sober-minded" so they do not resist God’s setup for their blessing.The Apostle concludes by celebrating God as a "covenant-keeping God" who fights for those who are 100% committed. Her final call is for a "surrendered life" that prioritizes worship as a "love life," ensuring that "Satan has nothing on you" when the battles of life arise.Rec. Date: 19th June, 2025
