Transcript
- 0:00There are many young people going nowhere.
- 0:02They call themselves expensive names without the grace to be
- 0:06diligent to defend it. Mayor talk.
- 0:10You know, I mean, I mean, I'm a millionaire.
- 0:12It's just that I'm a humble. I don't want to say anything.
- 0:15You know my there are actions, listen and activities that leads
- 0:27to poverty. Show me a man who wakes up in
- 0:30the morning and carries his his CV in the name of Jesus.
- 0:35I know that I've been delivered. I shouted Amen.
- 0:37Spirit of poverty. You are gone by the power of the
- 0:40Holy Spirit. I will find out whether there's
- 0:42a job opening instead of gossiping online available jobs
- 0:46enter and the spirit of grace will route some job somewhere
- 0:51that is paying you so much and one thing will lead to the other
- 0:54and favor just comes like that. Can I tell you, ladies and
- 0:57gentlemen, laziness as a case study will always lead to
- 1:02poverty. Even if you are anointed,
- 1:05laziness will always lead to poverty.
- 1:08I'm sorry to say there are preachers who are lazy.
- 1:12Always resting for doing nothing.
- 1:14Always resting for doing nothing.
- 1:16There are business people who are lazy.
- 1:19You open your shop by 12 and close it 5:00 PM for fellowship.
- 1:23Nothing wrong with the fellowship, but you are going to
- 1:25be poor because you are not taking your work seriously.
- 1:29Are we together? Have you seen people like that?
- 1:32Customers come and knock, They wake them from sleep.
- 1:35We want to buy the crate of minerals.
- 1:37And the people yawn and and say why now?
- 1:39Yeah, it's too early. 8:30 No, Sir.
- 1:45No, Sir. Listen, let me tell you whether
- 1:49you, you've heard me tell you, whether you serve God or serve
- 1:51Satan, the one thing both of them will not tolerate is
- 1:54laziness. Whether it's God you serve or
- 1:56Satan, in case you don't love God and you go to Satan, you
- 2:01will still work hard. At least the one thing we know
- 2:07that both God and Satan agree on is that lazy people have no
- 2:10future. Whether you work for the Dark
- 2:13Kingdom, you will still not be promoted.
- 2:18Are we together? I've had back-to-back troubles.
- 2:23By this morning, I was in Lagos for a conference.
- 2:26I return back. I'm still standing.
- 2:28There are many young people behaving as if they're 70 years.
- 2:31Let me tell you the truth. The Bible says I must walk the
- 2:33walks of him. After the oil comes on your
- 2:36head, use your hand walk. Let me speak to every gentleman
- 2:40in Kalyania here. Listen, before you clap, my dear
- 2:44people, you know I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm for you.
- 2:46Where gentlemen walk Monday morning, tomorrow, don't wake up
- 2:51and you are snoring and stretching and saying I'm
- 2:53anointed. Get up and walk.
- 2:56What work do I do? Read if you don't have a job,
- 2:59learn from those who know what they're doing.
- 3:01Pray, prepare. Go and find some place to intern
- 3:05while you are waiting. But by all means, fight
- 3:08laziness. Carrying certificates, wearing
- 3:11suits and saying I'm a graduate. Thank God for that.
- 3:14Be gainfully employed. If a job does not come, make
- 3:17Zobo. Make something.
- 3:18Make doughnut. I will pray for you.
- 3:20Make it if one door closes, cry for a few minutes and force
- 3:26another one to open. That's the mindset of champions.
- 3:30Sit down telling us what happened last year.
- 3:32You're not the only one who went.
- 3:33We're all in Nigeria here. Flimsy excuses you find people
- 3:39make. Well, you're not the way it is
- 3:42our our job. You've been hearing what is
- 3:43going around. We all had it.
- 3:45You are not the only one who was affected.
- 3:49The spirit of laziness. I cursed it from your life.
- 3:54Please take seriously what I'm saying.
- 3:55I curse it from your life. Go and learn tailoring.
- 4:00If you cannot do anything, go and learn to be an apprentice
- 4:03somewhere and don't meet somebody to help you at your own
- 4:07terms when you are in need. Adaptation is proof of honor.
- 4:12Don't meet someone greater than you and say we are colleagues.
- 4:14No, there's no colleague mentality in the world of growth
- 4:18and knowledge and wealth. Are we together?
- 4:21When you want to learn from the person who is ahead of you,
- 4:24humble yourself, receive instructions and learn.
- 4:27There are many arrogant people who want to be wealthy at their
- 4:30own terms. They want to be great at their
- 4:32own terms. Oh, I hear that there's a store
- 4:36and you're looking for a form and, well, I can manage around
- 4:39how much do you have? The man does not have anything.
- 4:42He sits down there and he's embarrassed.
- 4:44Customers come. He cannot stand up to greet them
- 4:46because the person he's seen is his classmates.
- 4:48So what? Let the classmates see you so
- 4:50that when God leaves you, he will know that you did not walk
- 4:53your way by manipulation. Are we together?
- 4:58The man who does not have and is too big to receive and too big
- 5:03to learn is the one who will remain in that condition
- 5:05forever. I tell you, if I did not succeed
- 5:08with my life as a man of God, I will humble myself.
- 5:11Even if it's somebody I raised, I will humble myself and learn.
- 5:15It does not kill. It is better to humble yourself
- 5:18and learn and grow. Which one is more embarrassing?
- 5:22To learn earlier and bail yourself out or to stand in
- 5:25pride and then you find out everybody has gone and left you
- 5:28alone there. Our generation is an arrogant
- 5:34generation. No results.
- 5:36And yet everybody is everybody's colleague.
- 5:39This colleague mentality. We are colleagues to fathers who
- 5:42are colleague to senior mentors who are colleague to people with
- 5:45potent, undeniable results. No learning, no humility to
- 5:49learn. Tonight's teaching is hard.
- 5:54Don't worry, it's out of love. This is how to prosper you.
- 5:58You don't prosper people by massaging their back.
- 6:00You, you give them a push. Are we together?
