  Speaker 3: Alright, tonight we want to bring a different perspective to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: this subject.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Okay? Is that okay now? A very different perspective.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And in this season, I'm going to have to be
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: mixing many things.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: We are on a journey. Okay? Turn your Bibles, please,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: The book of 2 Kings, chapter number 6 from verse 24.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: 2 Kings 6 from verse 24. So, we want to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: look at a root.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: There's a root. There's a root. Alright? That we need to.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Study when it comes to this subject of black tax.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: It is still one of the elements of dysfunctional families
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of background.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Is that okay?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: But there's a root that is often not really considered.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And I want us to look at that root. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: there's a very interesting story. And I want us to
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: learn from that story. 2 Kings 6 24 And it
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: came to pass after this that Ben-Adad, the king of Syria,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: gathered all his host and went up and besieged Samaria.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And there was a great famine in Samaria. And behold,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: they besieged it until an ass head was sold for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: four score piece of silver. That's 80 silver. A score
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: is 20.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And the fourth part of a cab of doves' dung
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: for five pieces of silver. And as the king of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Israel was passing by on the wall, there cried a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: woman to him saying, Help my Lord, O king. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: he said, If the Lord do not help you, from
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: where shall I help you? Out of the barn floor
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: or out of the winepress? And the king said to her,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: What ails you? And she answered, This woman said to me,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Give me your son that we may eat him today.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And we may eat and we will eat my son tomorrow.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So we boiled my son and.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Did eat him.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And I said to her on the next day, give
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: me your son that we may eat him. And she
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: has eat her son. And it came to pass when
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the king heard the words of the woman that he
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: rent his clothes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And he passed by on the wall, and the people looked,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and behold, he had sackcloth within on his flesh. Okay?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: So the Bible gave us a question.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Can a mother forsake a suckling child? The general answer
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: seemed to be God forbid. But not when people enter
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: survival mode. So we want to study the survival mode
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of the African families.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Okay? Okay?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: There's a condition that if care is not taken and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: if not well understood people just value their own survival
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: so there was famine and we would never have imagined
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that mothers would begin to sell their children and they
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: started they didn't just sell their children they were eating
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: their children that a mother will cook, boil and shear
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And cut to pieces. Her own sucking child. And she
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: will watch herself and her friend. Eat that child. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: they are looking at the other child. And they know
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: within their hearts. That we are going to eat yours tomorrow.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: It happened. Okay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: When families enter survival mode. They feast on each other.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: they feast on each other.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Okay? It happens. So what does it mean to feast
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: on your child? To make that child a delicacy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Even when you know that the outcome of this is
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that this child will cease to exist.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: The mother of a yahoo boy who is defrauding people.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: To make money is feasting on the child it doesn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: matter how long she goes on and needs to pray
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: for him that's survival mode the father of a thief
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: who knows that the boy is stealing but can't stop
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: him because after all he's using the money he's stealing
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to meet family needs they are feasting on that child.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: The pastor of a corrupt politician.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Who is stealing and killing people But can't bring him
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: correction because he's giving seed and tithes to the church.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: He's feasting on that guy. Okay?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And if we are going to deal with the root
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: of this, we must also address where the church is complicit.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Judgment will begin from the church. Have you seen people.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: That they know that what my child is doing will
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: kill him?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: But we are all enjoying the money.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: The younger sister the younger brother of a corrupt politician
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that is killing people and stealing money and they are
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: enjoying it together they are feasting on the guy so
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: it is very easy to look at these things and
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: judge the people and say until you discover the areas
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that we all are complicit to corruption because of survival
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: where we all have to find a way to accommodate
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: lies and corruption because of survival. When we get these
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: things right, okay, people who are corrupt will not find
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: space in the church. They will know that they have
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to wash their hands because we will not need their
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: blood money. The blood money from corrupt people is an
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: oath of silence. And it must be addressed. If it
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is not addressed. Silence will look like wisdom. When the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: nation is destroyed. Getting destroyed. Are you following what I'm saying?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So as mothers began to feast on their children. I've
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: seen these things happen. In fact there are places. That
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: mothers go to pray for their sons. That are busy
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: doing internet front.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I've seen in fact. There was a case that happened.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: The mother took her son to an abbey list to
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: go and use the girlfriend.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: The mother doesn't like that boy. She's only after her
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: own survivor. That's not love. I've shown you what love
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: is and what love is not. Do you understand what
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? Anybody who knows what you are doing will
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: kill you but can't tell you because they are enjoying
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the proceeds. That's not love.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: That's bad.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? We must have a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: new generation that is questioning things. And we are not
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a part of these lies. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: This affects us as church. It affects us.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: But if you are seated in church and we know
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: that you are lying, you are defrauding people, you are
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: stealing commonwealth of the nation. Okay? Okay?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: When election comes, you campaign in church, we clap for you,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: but you still kill the members when they are in
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: their own houses, just so you can win.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: These are things to question. Is that okay now? These
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: are things to question. Okay? These are issues.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: So, the mothers began to hate their children. I said,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: when families enter survival mode, they feast on themselves. It
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is very easy to point an accusing finger until you
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: have discovered that you too somehow may be enjoying proceeds
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: of unjust gain from an elder brother somewhere that is lying,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: stealing from the company, or a younger sister.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Do you understand what I'm saying here? We are either
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: principled or we are not.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: If people bring money, that we know that the salary
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: accorded to this office should not be able to afford
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: this kind of seed. We can't pretend not to know
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: that you stole it. Do you understand what I'm.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Saying?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: That's why I said it's going to be dangerous this
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: evening Do you understand what I'm saying? We know how
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: much politicians are earning So if you bring money That
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: is more than your annual salary There's nowhere else you've
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: gotten it than stealing. So to say, I don't know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: after all, bring it, God bless you, is to feast
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: on him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: It is the same case.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So there is the church in Nigeria that has entered
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: survival mode. There is the family that has entered survival mode.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: To heap all the blames on family and detach the church.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Is to lie. And we must understand that. Many of
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: these people have found out that we are Bible. They
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: found out that we have a price. For sub 2 campaign.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: We have a price. We have a price.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: And it's time to throw away the tables of the
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: money changers in church. Do you understand what I'm saying? Alright,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: so there is a form of this subject that we
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: have not touched. And you see, once you begin to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: deal with subjects like this, people get emotional. You start
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: confronting emotions.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: This thing is teaching.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: You know, families are different. Listen to what I'm saying.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: We are addressing core issues. Do you understand what I'm
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: saying here? We are addressing what?
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Core issues. Alright?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: That there is a way things are to be done.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And if we are not getting it done that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Way, it is dysfunction. Okay?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: The plan of God for the family is the father,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the mother, the children.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Okay? Okay? And according to God's original design, the man
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: is the provider.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Provision doesn't end until the children are solid. If we
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: don't break that pattern, where pressure is on some to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: do the unfinished work of others, they will not fulfill
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: God's plan for their lives because they have to start
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: from where somebody stopped and they may never become what
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: they were designed to become.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: That's what we are dealing with. Do you understand what
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I'm saying here? They may never. Okay?
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And the cycle just continues. And in most cases, in fact,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: some children now seem to have found out that families
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: don't respect you until you have money. So either way
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: is to get the money. If you will kill to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: get the money, kill. We have in our songs now,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: people say, because we seem to have exalted Money.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Regardless of the means.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? We seem to have
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: exalted money. Regardless of what the means. We seem to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: have exalted.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Just have it. We don't care how you get it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: And that's corruption. These are issues.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: That the church must not overlook. These are issues we
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: must deal with. That if you have a son. That
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: the place he's working.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: He's earning 150,000 naira. But is using 2 point something million. Weekend.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: For Dorime. It calls for a question.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: You must not allow poverty get so deep. That you
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: can't question where money is coming from. That's what we
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: are talking about. We have girls in prostitution beside the road.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: That they are spending money home. The mother knows this
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: girl is not employed. But this girl keeps sending money
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: home every week. And they are collecting it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: When this day, no one day, they will use this
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: child for ritual. Well, let us survive first.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: When people enter survival mode, wickedness take hold of their lives.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Do you understand what I'm saying here? And we have
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: to address it. This is emancipation. This is freedom. Okay?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: It is God calling us to order. It is God
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: calling us to adjustment. It is God saying there's a
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: way to do it. It is God saying we can
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: do it right. And these are issues. Let me say
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: this to you. I want to say this on record.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: And it is not a way to spite what God
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: is doing in Nigeria.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Okay? But take this from a pastor.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: We are not ready for anything good in this nation
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: until we have dealt with the excesses of the church.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Take this. We are not ready. You have to check
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: in what way are ministries benefiting from lawlessness. Do you
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: understand what I'm saying here? It's a matter of excesses.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I saw a video, and I'm not one to call
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: people out.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: You know my life. I just prefer to focus on
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: my assignment. But I saw a video that shook me
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: to my core. A pastor called somebody out.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Say, you, Mr. So-and-so, come here. Come. Kneel down. This, this, this.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I want 150,000 Naira from you. I want it now.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: This is somebody's father. You are saying to kneel down.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And you say I'm not forcing you... Sir this is manipulation....
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Say am I forcing you? No... Am I forcing you? No...
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I want 150,000 there... Can you give me? Say yes...
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Say go and send it now... They will come and
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: pray for you... How? We are... See... God changed Nigeria...
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: We are not ready... Until these matters are addressed.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Do you understand.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying? Listen to what I'm saying.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: The same way, if you are going to deal with
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the political structure of Nigeria, you have to make politics
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: less attractive.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: There is a way ministries have become so attractive for thieves.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Annual salary of an average prof in Nigeria, an average
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: prof is earning 500,000 per month, 450,000 to 600,000, depending
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: on where.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: So annual salary you have between Let's say 5 to
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: 6 million. That is not up to half of what
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: they used to buy vehicles for politicians recently. So what
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: does he pay to become? A professor? Or a thief?
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Let me say this. Anybody who is in ministry must
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: know that one day you will stand before Jesus and
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: give account to. Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Nigeria this, Nigeria that. Many of those who are.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Destroying this nation have found refuge in church. And it's
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: time to throw away the tables of the money changers.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: The moment pastors don't have a price, politicians will adjust. Oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he's saying this because they are young ministries. People have
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: not started bringing in millions.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Nonsense.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You need to understand the kind of things we have rejected.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You think that this devil would have no heart Because
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I don't talk We don't People that want to sponsor
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: your ministry So they can buy your voice Okay These
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: are issues And I don't want us to get emotional
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: What is not good It's not good.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Don't get emotional.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: When we teach on black tax, we are not saying
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: don't be kind to your parents. We are saying there's
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: a dysfunction in the order.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Everybody seems to gather and feast up the one who
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: is doing a bit better. And people don't care. That
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: one dies.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Let's just survive this season. I call it survival mode
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: and that's why I showed you that scripture. So what
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: do you do if you have found yourself in that situation?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: How do you survive? Do you know that there is
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: a way you'll be neck deep in black tax and
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: miss your future partner? The person will just look at
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: you and calculate, can I handle all this responsibility? First
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: born out of seven children. This, this, this, this is
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: what she's doing. The father is doing this, the mother
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: is doing this. Me too, I'm coming first born out
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: of 19. all these ones are there I like this
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: girl but we're going to hurt each other and the
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: two people will miss each other because they inherited what
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: is not theirs.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: These are issues do you understand what I'm saying and
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: we must get it right So is it good to give? Yes.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: And I showed you on Sunday. In fact, the.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Bible says that he that gives to the poor lends
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: to God. Poverty is a bad thing. But the solution
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: to poverty is not just money. Poverty is there in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the first place because of a knowledge gap. Proverbs 24
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: from verse 2. Through wisdom a house is built. By
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: understanding it is established. Through knowledge the rooms are filled
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: with pleasant riches. So if there's going to be abundance,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: there's a body of knowledge you must have.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Is that okay now?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: If anybody gives you money without that body of knowledge,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: you will not know what to do with it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: It is that body of knowledge first. Okay?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: So what you do to solve poverty problem is not
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: just throwing money in the air.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: It is, we need to solve knowledge problem.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: We need to deal with mindset and orientation.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Poor people wear the most expensive things. Okay? They use
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: money for the most unnecessary things. It's a mindset. Are
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: you following what I'm saying here?
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Because the culture is wired in such a way that...
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: We say things like it is the way you dress
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that you be addressed Fantastic So it's good to look
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: good But at your cost At the level of what
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you can afford.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: People Let's think Let's think Two young people are planning
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: to get married They don't know What they are going
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: to eat after marriage But they are going to put
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: all those money For.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: A colorful reception Why? It's mindset. And why are we
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: doing that? So that my pictures too can be framed. Okay?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying? So we have to
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: begin to investigate what are the things you are doing
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: to service somebody's opinion? Not because they are necessary or
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: you just want to help people manage their opinion or
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: their impression about you.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: So he put people under unnecessary pressure. Are you following
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying? A girl that has not bought one
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: book is buying human air, 250,000. And she's cutting. She's cutting.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: But there's human air, 250,000.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, say, opposed to you are a man, so you
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: may never understand what human air means.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It lasts longer. No problem.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: When it gets to that point I don't try to
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: argue but you two think about it what you have
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: just said does it make sense are you following what
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I'm saying this boy doesn't have much he's still trying
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: to build his life he just met a girl now
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: now now the girl has put bill on him and
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: say ah in fact the way of girls that you
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: meet the day you meet them they just tell you
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: that you won't believe my rent just expired how much
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: is your rent Say, my rent is 590,000. I'm going
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: to pay agent fee. You know the way Abuja is. Say, ah,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: consider it done. Consider it done. He doesn't have food
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: at home. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: It's culture.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Families will not mind borrowing money for burial. And the
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: same people who spend those millions on burial can't give
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: you kubo or school fees.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: And when they wait and wait, nobody's dying.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: They will tell you that the person that died 20
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: years ago, they want to redo the burial.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: In my village, they will say they want to turn
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the back. They are tired.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Why is nobody dying? It is something. We need to
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: gather money again and do all those things.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: And buy clothes.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Many of those parties, the money they have spent for musicians,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: those who are dancing in those parties.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: The clothes, how expensive it is, the gold they wear.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: They are children, sir. They are languishing in poverty. Why
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: do we do this? Because we are established on faulty culture.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Culture to impress. The clothes you are wearing is more
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: expensive than your rent and you think you are fine.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: These are issues. This calls for sober reflection, sir.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: It is very easy to point accusing fingers at politicians
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: for wasting. But who is the better waster?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Alright?
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: So these are matters that needs to be addressed. Because
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Many of the things happening outside, they are offshoot of
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: what is going on in families. And the Bible said
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: in the book of Psalms, chapter number 11, verse 3.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: For instance, the family is the bedrock of the society.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: It's the foundation. True? What's the foundation of the society? Family.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: That's the smallest structural and functional unit of the society.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: So the Bible says that if that foundation be destroyed,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: what can the righteous do? The society is messed up.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: If you want to attack a society, attack the families.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying here? So, I want
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: to show you responsibilities not to take up in your family.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: This is a form of black tax. And this one
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: has nothing to do with money.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Responsibilities. Responsibilities.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Someone said that Africa is the most painful continent on
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: earth and yet the most joyful. We suffer and smile.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Happy. In fact, in Nigeria, we pride ourselves in the
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: fact that we are resilient.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Comedians will make jokes showing how soldiers brutalize someone unjustly.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: We have become so comfortable with it, it is now
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: a thing of fun. that some of these things don't
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: make sense. They don't make any sense. You can just
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: see something like, somebody went to do something, a match
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: on somebody, by.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: The time they showed the person, they showed the big chest.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: And then? So that you have big chest means you
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: oppress somebody.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: We have become one with the culture of oppression. We
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: make songs of it. We make jokes out of it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: We do stupid things out of it. Somebody can just
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: show that, hey, a cat did something and then before
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: you know it, it was a soldier. The soldier to
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: do like this. Being a soldier is it to defend
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: your country or to oppress your people? We have become
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: one with our oppression. And that's because we have refused
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: to think about Do you understand what I'm saying? Sometimes,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: even our prophecy session is oppressive.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: You, you be witch. I not be witch, oh. I
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: not be witch.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: And you have live cameras on the press scene. Let's
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: leave it. Let me show you a story. The book
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: of John, chapter number 4. Some of you are ready
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: for this, teacher.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Are you sure you are ready for this conversation tonight? Because...
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: John chapter number 4.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Let's start the reading from verse 7. John 4 from
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: verse 7. There comes a woman, John 4 from verse 7,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, give
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: me to drink, for his disciples have gone away to
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: the city to buy me.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Then said the woman of Samaria to him, how is
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: it that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: You being a jew ask drink of me which i'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: a woman of samaria for the jews have no dealing
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: with the samaritans jesus has said and said to i
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: if you knew the gift of god and which is
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: that said to you give me to drink you would
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: you would have haxed of him, and he would have
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: given you living water. The woman said to him, Sir,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: you have nothing to draw with, and this well is deep.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: From where then have you this living water? Are you
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: greater than our father Jacob, which gave us this well,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: And Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: this water shall test again. But whoever drinks of the
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: water that I shall give him shall never test. But
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: the water that I shall give him shall be in
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: that I taste not, neither come here to draw. Then
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Jesus said to her, Go and call your husband. Then
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said, You
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: have well said I have no husband, for you have
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: had five husbands. And him whom you are with now
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: is not your husband.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: In that said you truly. The woman said to him, sir,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I perceive that you are a prophet. So let me
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: explain the culture.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And you can see this also in the story of Judah.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: When somebody marries somebody and the person's husband died, maybe
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: among five children, then the next person is obligated to
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: marry the woman. And then that one too died. The
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: next person is obligated to marry the woman. Then that
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: one too died. Then this one is obligated to marry
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the woman. And that one too died. So usually it's
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: a custom. And it was a bad culture. okay where
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: people in fact i think in some places in nigeria
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: they do it where somebody's wife died or husband died
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: and this person is obligated maybe the wife of the
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: elder brother also to now marry the person okay and
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: these are issues so i i read that story to
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: show you something it's a responsibility not to take particularly
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: for those who are coming from family that you have
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: lost your dad. Never replace him. Never replace your late dad.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Write it in capital letter. Okay, those of you who
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: don't know what this means, you have your both parents alive,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: so you may not understand this.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Well, bless God for you. But there are people who
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: understand what I'm saying.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: If care is not taken, in fact, it is one
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: of the reasons why sometimes we feel firstborn struggle a lot.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Because it looks like the firstborn live for the rest.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: He's used to serve the rest and when they climb,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: everybody look down on him and insult him or insult her.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And there seems to be a pressure on the first
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: male that if your dad is no more, then you
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: are now It sounds mature. And it sounds like a responsibility.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Noble one. Get what I'm saying. When I say never
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: replace your late dad, I'm saying you are the son
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: of your mother.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: You are not her husband. Don't confuse the responsibility. You see,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: what I'm teaching you today is a very serious matter.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: The moment you confuse the role of a son to
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: being the husband, number one, you'll have to continue the
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: work from where it stopped. So it means that your
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: life as you were planning will have to stop because
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: something else has to continue.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: And that's not God's design.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: So it's a levy that is placed on people to
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: continue what they didn't start.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: It's a tax. It's a tax.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: If you are going to do well, there are certain
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: things you will never be guilt-tripped into.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I fly as a man who insists on what they do.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: In fact, if not, the devil knows that one way
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: to distract your journey for life is for something to
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: happen in the family and then you are.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Do you know what happens? Somebody has lost the dad.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: They say now you are the father of this house.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: No problem.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: We are not raising irresponsible people. But the problem now
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: is that this person's primary obligation to his own immediate
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: family is being contested for. Meanwhile, everyone has responsibility to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: do what they should do. Go to school, study, make
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: money and support. Everybody collectively support. You are not your
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: late dad. And you are not obligated to feel issues.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: You have a call upon your life. You have an assignment.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Be responsible.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Support your family. Don't watch them suffer. Or don't replace
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: who you are not.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: If your mom will have to remarry later, And if
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you are a lady, you have lost your mom.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: You can't replace your mother. You are not your father's wife.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: You are his daughter.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: If you will have to remarry, let him. You know,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I said some things and sometimes we like to shy
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: away from it. There is a way you will be
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: a young person and men will be avoiding you. Because
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: you're already carrying too much... And we have broken many...
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you... And there's a way you'll be a
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: young guy.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: That.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Any woman that will marry your kind... Will have to
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: fight many battles.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Because it's like she's marrying you and the community....
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: And you have to... Decisively have a controlled environment... The
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: best way to be a blessing to that family is
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: in becoming what God designed you to become.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Not what you are obligated to become. And in becoming
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: what God designed you to become, the journey of emergence
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: into it may make you look wicked. But that is
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: the way to be a blessing.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: It may be that at certain point I can't afford
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: this because I'm a work in progress.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: You don't have to inherit your late father's room in
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: the village. Do you understand?
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: You don't have to.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: You have an assignment. You have an assignment. You have
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: a family. And the earlier you understand that, the better.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: If not, the pattern of dysfunctionality will continue. It will
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: never end. It will never end. Number two, responsibilities you
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: must never take. Okay? Are you with me?
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: If you have a firstborn or an elder one that
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: is not doing well, you are not their replacement.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Never allow anybody make you the firstborn when you are not.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Comparing children with children is a way to make them
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: eternal enemies.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Never allow such comparison.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Never allow your elder ones to be called worthless because
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: you are successful. Some of you have elder ones that
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: are not Maybe as successful as you are not getting
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: it right after this. Never allow anybody tell you you
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: are the firstborn because of the level of your success.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Never allow them put you ahead of your elder ones
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: because you are more successful.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: You must give them their place.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: God's intention is not to have Esau and Jacob in families.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: It is not a case where the elder will serve
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: the younger. God wants everyone to do well Do you
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying? It's a very serious matter. Never
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: accept it. Many firstborns have come to a point where
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: they now hate their sibling.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Because they compare them at every provocation. Look at your brother.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Look at his life. He's thinking fast. He's better. He's better.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Look at you. You are good for nothing. As old
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: as you are. This, this, this. Look at your younger one.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Look at their life.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: See how they are doing everything right. What can you
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: do right in this life? Can you ever succeed in
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: this life? Look at your siblings.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Look at this.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: And that guy sits down. And he's watching family meetings,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: how they relegate everything. And some of them become bitter
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: and even kill their siblings over land. those who put
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: you ahead of those who are ahead of you don't
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: love you either it is a survival structure never accept
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: it are you following what I'm saying Are you following
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: what I am saying? This is heavy.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Some of you are because you know practically what I
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: am saying.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Somehow it's like our system is not patient with anybody
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: who is in process.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: We make those mistakes. Have you seen a case where
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: this happens a lot in many Africa homes?
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: The younger one is ready for marriage to settle down.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: But they say you can't because your elder sister is
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: not married. So we have to pause your life. Meanwhile,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: being married, is it by age? Is it age that
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: determines who is ready? Is that all that determines who
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: is ready? And that one is now under pressure and
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: does not mind marrying wrong. Just so that now my
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: siblings are The pressure around the area.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Of marriage can drive people crazy. Okay? And these are
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: things to discuss. Are you ready for number three? Number
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: what now? Let me give an illustration. Is that okay?
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: People are looking at me in this house. Are you sure?
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Can I give an illustration? Are you sure? I should
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: fly out of this place now. Nakale, please come. There's
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: a condition that we need to help.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: The way your life should be planned is in a
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: way that there's so much, you have invested so much
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: in your time and in the quality of your life
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: that you can be strong enough to meet all the responsibilities.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: If you waste that time and time is no longer
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: on your side, You will need to borrow the time
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: of your children.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: And use them to work because your time is wasted.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: So the early phase of their life will be adding
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: their quality time to yours.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Never allow your time to be borrowed by one who
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: didn't use their own will. Please be seated. I know
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: many people won't like me for this series.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Because once we start touching the root where those demons
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: are entrenched, we get emotional. Before Abraham could become anything
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: with God, God had to tell him, get out of
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: your father's house.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: There are homes to get out of to ever matter
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: in life.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: There are families to journey away from to ever become
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: profitable and useful for them. We are not instigating children
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: against parents. I am teaching the practical wisdom of God's word.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Looking at the practical cases of what is on ground
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: that we.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: Don't have messages for. People are going.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Through things that we have not been able to situate
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: them in the context of the word and bring them out.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: It is not sign of loyalty to continue.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Your father's well-drained work or carpentry work or whatever work.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: When you should be building your life. It is not loyalty.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: It is dysfunction.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: It is dysfunction.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And if the time of two, three, four children are
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: absorbed to continue that, and then later they are left
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: midway to now start to figure their own way, some
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: of them cannot meet up with school because they have
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: spent that time doing what they should not be doing.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: My advice is simple. Maximize your time so you will
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: not need to borrow anyone's own.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Do you understand? This one I just mentioned, do you
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: understand it? Do you have an idea of what it is?
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: Do you? So let me explain this. There are children
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: that should be in school but now they have to
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: work for the family.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: It was not their place. They should be in school.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: And somebody should be paying the school fees. That's the design.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: They should be in school.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: That's the design. Are we saying people should be irresponsible? No.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you. You may be sitting here as
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: young people. And it's sweet to hear. Until you have
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: wasted your own time. And you will need people's time.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: So what you want to do. Don't sit down and
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: play blame game. I'm not teaching you so you can
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: reflect on your parents.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: And hate them. I'm saying you. Start.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: One of the grace upon my life. Is to help
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: people detach from wrong pattern. With the teaching of God's word.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: Okay. Understand this. Do you understand what I'm saying? Let
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: me say this to you. Listen. Let me tell you this.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: I was watching the video. There's a bishop.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe I should mention it online. Bishop Mike Bamdele in Malaysia.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: He was having his 60th birthday. Bishop Boyedepo sent him
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: a video where he was giving him his eulogy and
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: then saying celebrate him. And he said a statement in
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: that video. He said you are as old as you
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: think you are. He said Moses began his ministry at 80.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: If you don't understand this simple principle, at 70 you
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: will feel too old to die. There is a concept where.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Young people want to become grandpa and grandma on time.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: We have to deal with it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: It's an ideology where we start practicing old age at
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: our productive season.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Do you understand what I'm saying? And it's showing now.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Many young girls and young boys can't wait to be grandpas.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Because it is prestige in Africa. When your children are mature,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: people will honor you. People will honor you for the
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: quality of the work you have done.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: It's mindset.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: What will you be at 15? Will you still be vibrant?
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: A father was sharing with me, the body of Christ,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: a bishop. He told me, when he clocked 60, when
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: he clocked 59, I went to the pastor here, I
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: was able to pray for him. Baba said, no, come
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: back when you are 60. When he clocked 60, he
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: went back. Baba said, now I'm going to pray for you.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Because now you are about to begin your ministry. If
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: you have that consciousness, that in your old age, you
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: still have strength to ask for the mountain, you will
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: live long. If you don't understand what I'm teaching you now,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: once you start crossing 40, 50, you're already looking up
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: to your children. Do you understand what I'm saying? So,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: because you know that that's the way you are thinking,
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: you will not be productive. You will see them as
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: your investment to reap from.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Do you understand? I'm teaching from my heart.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: I think somebody was sharing a challenge with me.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: I said, hold on a minute.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: How old is your mom? She said, 50-something. I said,
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: go and check. How old is your mom? She said, 60-something.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: How old is Tony? She said, 60-something.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Being in your purpose and active at it makes you
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: look young. Don't be in a hurry to get old.
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: It's an African thing. Do you understand what I'm teaching?
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: Do you get it? Don't be in a hurry.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it doesn't make sense when they start calling you
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: grandma at 46. We are not saying you are not grandma,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: but it makes you feel you are already old.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: Africa, oh Africa.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: What we are doing is that we are going to
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: the root of matters and overhauling wrong cultures, wrong cultures,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: wrong cultures.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: The syllabus for what God is doing now is different.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: There is a need to go deep and help a
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: generation from the foundation. It is a difficult work, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: we must do it. And as the church will not
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: shy away from those things. Do you get what I'm saying?
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: I have that perspective. Alright?
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Caleb was already in his 80s. But he still said,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: give me this mountain. He said, it was promised to
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: me while I was young. But now, I am still
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: as strong as I was then.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I'm ready to go.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: And there are people who will say, even in my
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: old age, give me this mountain. I watched a sitting governor,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: said nobody in my family had crossed 70. He said,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: once I crossed 70, I've done enough. And he died
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: at 70.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: It's a mindset.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: I said it's a mindset. You must understand that. I
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: stumbled on the video. There is a way your theology
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: affects your life outcome.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: I stumbled on a video.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: The man of God was trying to explain to people
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: who died young that it is not quality of how long,
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: but what you have done.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: I shut down the video.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I said, if the doctrinal perspective of scripture is that
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: with long life, I will satisfy you.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: I am not satisfied with doing something quality in a
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: short while. Something quality for a long time.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: My doctrine shapes my outcome. The theology affects your life.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: That's why theology is a very important subject.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: What you believe.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Determines what you become. I shut down the video. I
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: won't take this.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: Because there is a way you can become compassionate around death.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: That okay, yeah, it's not about how far but how well.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: But the devil said I like that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Do it well. Short cut the life short. You must
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: understand that. We must fight for what is right. Somebody
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: needs to end the narrative. Change the confusion. Let something
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: new begin from you. Do you understand what I'm saying here?
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Let something new begin from you. Invest quality in your time.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Don't drink, sir. Don't go to club. Serve God now
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: that you have strength. Remember your creator in the days
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: of your youth. The Bible says, when evil days have
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: not come. When you no longer have to say, I
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: have no pleasure.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: In these things. Okay?
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: When you get it right from the foundation, the rest
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: will be smooth.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: If you miss it now, don't try to now, what
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: people do is that they.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Now try to look for a word and make it
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: look like, I haven't done all I should do. I
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: still didn't get what I should get. Nah, lie. You
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: can't get it right. Okay?
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: God is going to use you for your families, but
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: understand that the best place to stand is in the
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: center of your purpose. You must fight to cut off
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: the tentacles. When you stand there, it will be effortless
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: to lift the hands of men. I said something about
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: the crab culture. If you want to keep crabs, you
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: don't have to cover anywhere you are putting them. Put
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: as many of them in a bucket. The ones down
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: will never allow anyone to climb. So you become strong,
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: then you can pull people. If not, you will not
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: be able to. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: The whole thing will keep pulling you down and at
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, three generations, nobody has succeeded.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: The family.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Nobody became anything significant. Sometimes we need to go back
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: and study the history of the family. You call it
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: generational cost. We are not saying it is not. But
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: what is the intelligence of the operation of that generational cost?
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: Why didn't anybody climb? You see, Let me tell you something.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: In Africa, we engage in what is called spiritism. We
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: just anchor every outcome on ancestors. He's the demon of
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: the father's house. But there are intelligent modes of operation
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: of this spirit. For instance, whenever there is poverty, you
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: will most likely find immorality.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Most likely. So you study it. Don't just say, spirit
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: of poverty in this house, catch fire. But that poverty
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: came because somebody was promiscuous. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: You check it. You say, witchcraft, witchcraft. Witchcraft are not
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: that powerful. They are the lowest indicator of darkness.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Anywhere witchcraft overhauled the entire family, there's always a pattern
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: of disobedience to God.
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: When God finds a child.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: And pull him away from that place, set him in
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: a place where he will learn the word, understand and mature,
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: that child will grow like witchcraft does not exist. Meanwhile,
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: three generations said they couldn't survive because of witchcraft. And
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: you find out as you study their life, they all
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: hated church. They only went to church at the first night.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: They hated pastors. They find everything to say against the church.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: God has exempted you. I see God exempting people. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: see God exempting people.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: I see God bringing you out of the pattern of dysfunctionality.
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: I see God starting something new from you. I see
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: God starting a new genealogy from you. Now listen, the
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: effect of what we are teaching briefly and looking small
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: here is going to penetrate different sectors of the nation.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: The force carrying this word is stronger than you can imagine.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Because God is set for the emancipation of this country.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: It will start from family. It will start from homes.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I said it will start from homes. Angels are forcefully
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: behind these words.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Taking it to different corners.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Because the set time has come. Are you following what
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: I'm saying here?
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: You must have correct perspective about these things. Have correct perspective.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: Have correct understanding. Okay? Let me show you a few things.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Let's look at the case of Joseph. Joseph. And his brothers. Okay.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: They sold him. For a price. Into slavery.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: And.
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: But Joseph could not be of help. To his brothers.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: In the prison. A Joseph in the prison. Cannot rescue
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: the family. It will take a Joseph. Who is the
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: prime minister. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, you
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: can't help at the level of promise. You are of
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: help at the level of fulfillment. Do you understand that?
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: You can't be of help at the level of promise.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know I carry this promise that God is
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: going to do this. Oh, fantastic. But the real place
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: where you are strong to be of help is at
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: the level where you are already having the fulfillment of
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: those promises. Okay?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: So which means that many of the paths you will
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: take to now be of help will be a lonely
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: path where those you are to help will fight you.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: In most cases I've found out the one that God
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: will use to liberate that family completely, the greatest battle
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: he will face will come from that family. Because the
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: demon that is holding that lineage bound will confuse everybody
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: that this person is bad. And that's why you can't
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: function by emotions. You must learn to function by conviction.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: We can't do the things we are doing except we
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: are convinced. Conviction.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: That even when what you are doing doesn't make any
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: sense to anybody, you stand your ground.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: This is it.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. This is, God has called
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: you to ministry. Everything is down. You do everything every time.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: There's no finance. You have to struggle. You have to
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: be a person of conviction to get from promise to fulfillment.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: You have to be a person of conviction. And let
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: me say this to you.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Part of your time being borrowed is that sometimes there
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: is a pattern of poverty in the house. But the
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: part of your destiny imagined is going to take you
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: back to the route of poverty. That is, you have
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: gotten a job where it looks like this salary now
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: will not be good for you and the family. And
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: God says, shut down the job and go to ministry.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: Now from where there was salary to where there is uncertainty,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: and this is where God will lift you. If your
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: time is bought or borrowed, you can never go that
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: part sometimes the things that you are about to destroy
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: you have to go back to that route.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: That's the fact.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Nobody has reason here. Everybody is down. God said, now
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: I'm calling you. Now you are going to be a
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: minister of the gospel. That will take my name to
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: all nations of the earth. And you have a degree.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: You did well.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: You are smart. You are intelligent. Everybody rise. We are
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: pay school fees. You think you can do this? Never.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: And you look at it and say, my God, what
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: part is this? Just when I thought now I'm going
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: to be a son of consolation. And God said, not
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: that fast. Not that fast.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: If you are not a person of conviction, that is
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: how you will never become. That people will fight you
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: and rise. So what do you think you want to do?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: Call you names, you are lazy. Many young people are
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: not accepting their God-given calling.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Because of this same factor. Where those you consider poor,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: you now even need to wear their suit too. To
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: do the ministry. How many of you have convictions enough.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: To walk lonely paths.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: And stand. Sir.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: We have been doing this from the days that. Can't
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: even afford to buy one donut. I know I will
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: sit in meetings.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: And they will be asking everybody.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: What do you do for a living? And I will
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: say I am in ministry. Everybody look at you with disdain.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: Like a young person should not be in ministry alone.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: And that was the instruction. Can God give that instruction?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Yes. But the balance is that we.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Must see the pattern of discipline and the pattern of diligence.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: Without diligence, your vision is a wish. There must be
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: that pattern.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: So that nobody is, you don't bobo anybody with the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: fact that I have a calling, but we are not
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: seeing labor that is corresponding to that calling.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: Is that okay now? and it is those that endure
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: to the end that shall be saved. Is that okay now?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: Never you sacrifice your God-given calling because you want to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: salvage a pattern you didn't create. Don't be disobedient to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: your heavenly calling, to God's calling over your life.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: Don't. Okay? Don't. That's the truth.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: Because once you carry it on your head, That I'm
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: running this race. I'm running this race because I must
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: emancipate some people. I must set them free. Everybody must
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: eat in the family. You are going to get into prostitution.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: You will. It's just a matter of time. You will.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: And if you are a guy, you get into Yahoo.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time. You will steal, sir.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: You will. You will. You can't do anything. You can't. See, listen.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: This is what the Bible says. Alright. Except the Lord
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: builds the house. The labor in vain that builds it.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: Except the Lord watches over the city.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: They wake but in vain. You can't use your strategy
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: to bail out. You must hear what God is saying.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: And it is submitting to a hit that is the
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: best strategy. And what he might be saying sometimes does
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: not make any sense. It doesn't.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: Permit me to give an illustration. We're having a conversation.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: I was asking, what do you want to do? She said,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: I want to do this. I said, if you go
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: that path, it will work. But your relationship will break.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: And we will not beg it not to break. Because
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: as you go the path of purpose, there are losses
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: that are necessary.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: If you are going to become a transgenerational blessing, there
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: are scars. There are scars. That's the truth. There are scars.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: When you look at some of us standing before you today,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: there are invisible scars and tears and pain. And we
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: know many more will still come. And every day we
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: lift our soul to God and say, Father, make me ready.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: I know pain will come. That is the truth.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: To not know it is to deceive yourself. I know
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: betrayal will come. That is the truth. I know there
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: will be days you will sit down and cry it.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: That is the truth. It is the reality of what
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: we have received. Ministry is military. And I look forward
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: to it. Sometimes with fear in my heart.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: And I say, God, if it is your wish, let
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: this cup pass.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: But nonetheless, let your will be done.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: Those do ministry and say, your boy, forget about that.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: You'll be manipulative.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: God is rooting out the pattern of dysfunctionality in families.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Get what I'm saying. He's rooting out those patterns. But
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: he's going to use sons that he has to himself.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: And when I say son, it's generic now.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: Male, female.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: Who have accepted formulas and strategies from him.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: The pressure is not giving you a.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Lifestyle or a direction. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: The pressure can give you a doubt. That God is
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: not behind. That God is not sanctioning.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: Okay. So you must understand this. Now to what end?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: When Jesus was born. One of the prophecies. In the temple.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Gave the mother. He said this boy is raised. For
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: the deliverance. For the rising and the falling of many.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: And he looked at Mary. And he said a sword.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: Will pass through your heart. That is you will know pain.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: That a mother should not know. And that pain did happen.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: And one day she stood. And saw Jesus.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Her son. Hanging on the cross. And Jesus referred to
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: John and said, Son, look at your mother. Mother, look
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: at yourself.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: You would almost think Jesus is heartless. But the one
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: who will be a transgenerational blessing cannot be roped in
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: those things. Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying? Some of you who are following us,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: they are fighting you at home. Look at the person
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: you are following. But that is destiny.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: By the time you start flying to 20 countries now,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: everybody will now come back and celebrate you. But if
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: the pressure takes you out, others will take your place.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: Pastor Chris was sharing the story of the time the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: people that are now leaders were following him in the
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: days they were on campus. They would call them fools
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: and mother would beat some of them and say, look
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: at the person you are following.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: But now these are people in charge of nations.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: The people now, what I'm saying is that sometimes the
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: pattern of problem is too much for them to understand
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: what God will use to deliver the family.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: The one that God.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: Has set on that path must hold the line and
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: remain there with conviction. Never let it be said that
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: you are out of pressure left that path.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: Because those who make you live will be the first
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: to insult you for living. There's no name.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: Some of us have not been called for doing ministry.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: But it's making sense gradually. There's no name, sir. From
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: friends who think you must be stupid. One time I
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: cried because my friend was earning 30,000. You won't believe it.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not a lazy person. Just give me a month.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: Let me show these people who are thinking I'm lazy
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: that I know how to make money.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: And I'm a smart person. I know how to make money.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: Some of you will take his pride now to know
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: that you are smart. That's how far religion has eaten us,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: like canker worm. That part, sir, that part, hold it.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: You have found a good part.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: Hold it.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: What is likely going to take you out is the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: fact that somebody wants to borrow your time. And that
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: time does not mean that you will have to go
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: back home to work there. Or you can do it
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: by proxy. Sometimes, living in Nigeria... Please, apologies to anybody
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: who has traveled or who is traveling. I'm not saying... Please,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: get my heart, okay? Sometimes, living in Nigeria for... Give
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: me a country.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: Australia.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: Is a way of still spending borrowed time. Because, particularly
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: when you have to leave your purpose to travel so you.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: Can pay black tax. It's by proxy.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: That's the truth. Tonight I want us to do more
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: prayer than I can teach. Because like I said, the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: root of this teaching is not for the fun of
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: being deep.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: What I'm doing here is not a pleasant walk. If
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: there's a way I can run out, I will.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: I'm doing an assignment that you can be grossly misunderstood for.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: And this is the root of many of our problems.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to wrap up with that same scripture I
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: showed you.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: 2 Kings 6. But I perceive that there are people
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: Who need to pray? Because you are about to leave
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: an instruction.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: That God will still use to liberate those who are
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: in a hurry to liberate. And you are about to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: close a path that that is the wisdom of God
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: entrenched in.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: For your life. So I sense in my spirit that
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: there is a need to cry to God.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: Maybe you need to cry for encouragement. Some of you
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: will need to cry. Some of you will need to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: practically cry. Like I know what it means to be
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: in a path that nobody understands.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: And it is still the same you that God will
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: use to end many narratives. And you are thinking, what
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: am I going to do from here? What am I
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: supposed to do? Can I cope? Can I survive?
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: Can I continue this path? What will my life be?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: What is the hope of tomorrow? Hey, cry to God.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: If you will have to lay on the floor, please
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: lay on the floor. If you will have to go
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: on your faces, go on your faces. If you will
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: have to weep, please weep.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: Please cry.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: Please cry to God. Please cry to God. Please cry
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: to God. And ask God for help. Ask Him to
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: help you.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: Please ask him to help you. Ask him to help you.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: Ask him to help you. Ask him to help you.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: God began to show me how that dysfunctional patterns is
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: subduing glory carriers in families.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: I see people struggling to come out of the clay.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: Struggling to breathe. Struggling to imagine. And God said, it's
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: time to break that yoke. It's time to break that grip.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Teach my people and break them through practical wisdom I've
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: placed upon your life.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: Cry to God.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: The grace to stay steadfast with the path He has
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: shown you, sir.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: The grace to stay steadfast, committed and faithful.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: God get me committed. Regardless of the hostilities. Regardless of
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: the anger against your soul. Regardless of all those persecutions.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: To stay committed with the plan. To stay committed with
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: the vision.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: To stay committed with what God wants to do with
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: your life. To stay committed with His purpose. The grace
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: for it. Every vision speaks at the end. It may
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: not make sense at the beginning. But the grace. To
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: stay committed. To stay focused. To stay entrenched in it.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: Not to sell off. Not to sell out.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: I see people breaking free. From the grip of fear.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: Staying focused.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: God has sent this word for the sake of his
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: purpose for your life. Because of the uniqueness of what
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: he wants to do. There seems to be a vow
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: in heaven. That you will not be another failed generation.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: And he has sent this word. He has sent his word.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: That you will not be.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: Another failed generation. You will not go another man's path.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Rather you will survive.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: All that hell throws your way. Stay committed. In God's plan.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: Stay committed in the plan. Please pray. Please pray.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: Please pray.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: This is the moment of emancipation. Don't joke with it.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: Don't joke with it.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: Please pray.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 8: Some of you will need.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: To pray that your convictions will return the.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: Persuasions you had when God spoke somehow family pressure seems
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: to have choked everything and killed it somehow Now you
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: are second guessing the instructions God gave. You have now
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: entered survival mode. When God gave you a path and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: a plan. What took away the conviction? What took away
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: the plan? What was the word God gave you? Where
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: is the word God gave you? What did he say
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: when he called you? What were the things he told
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: you not to do and the things to do? What
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: were the things he told you about the next 2, 3, 4,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: 5 years? Where is the conviction? Where is the joy you.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: Used to have? What has the devil used to steal
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: your joy? It's time to.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 9: Ask for it and get it back. It's time to
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 9: get it back. It's time to get it back. It's
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 9: time to get it back. In Jesus mighty name we're praying.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 9: Now in one word ask for wisdom. Ask for wisdom.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 9: You have a minute to do so. God, I cannot
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: continue the path you have called me without wisdom. Ask
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: for wisdom.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name we are praying. Now
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: sit down, let me wrap up.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: Everybody end up the same way because they have chosen
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: to go the same path. The one that God will
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: use to cancel the narrative must take a different path.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: And sometimes when you choose to take a different path,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: all hell will be let loose.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: You are not going to repeat any dysfunction. I didn't
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: hear that amen well. You will not.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: Repeat any wrong pattern. I didn't hear that amen well.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: You will not repeat any dysfunction.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how strong the problem in your bloodline is.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: You are detached from it.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how consistent the pattern of dysfunction is.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Your case is different. You will never be another failed generation.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: God will never have to separate your children from you
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: to become what he wants them to become.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: You are about to come to a phase that God
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: will tell your children to pattern after you. Listen, sit down.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: You know, I taught something.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: I taught a subject, Encountering God as El Shaddai. And
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: I said a statement in that subject. That when you
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: begin to walk in rebellion towards God, the only aspect
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: of your life that will be useful is your womb.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: That is, God will leave.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: Talking to you and begin to speak about the next generation.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: All you are living for is to give birth to them.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: He can take it from there. When Abraham left with Lot,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: God stopped speaking about Abraham. Began to speak about his children.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Now your entire purpose is summed up in giving birth.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: And that's why you can read the Bible and see this.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: This begat, this begat, begat, begat, begat. It looks like
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: the only place that makes them make history. is the
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: ability to begat. You will never get to a point
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: where all that God can use is now your ability
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: to produce.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: You heard that well.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: There is a point a man gets to that the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: only thing God can now use is the ability to
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: give birth to those.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: That God can now function with. Sir, there is a
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: grace upon this house to bring people out of wrong patterns. Again,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: I pray for Utah. In this one life, you will
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: know what it means to be fulfilled.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: You are a different seed.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: You are a different seed A different breed. Ah. I
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: see garments being torn off.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: I see rags being torn off.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: I see rags.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Sir, one of the ways God emancipates people is that
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: he looks for a man who is deeper in deeper dysfunction.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: Bring the person out and set him as a captain.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: So when I speak, I know where I am talking from.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: And I told the pastors that this kind is not
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: by reading novels. The anointing for this kind, you must
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: have tasted of that corpse.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: That's the truth. Sometimes God tells men who are.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Discontented and all that to follow a David in the
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: time that his life doesn't make sense. There are Davids
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: amongst us. God connecting people with you and you say
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: you have your own problem. Because not just are you
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: a man that God is setting up, you are a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: man to help people earn patterns. The purpose of God
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: is deeper than your own personal enjoyment. And you are saying, no, no,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: let me be fine first God, before you begin to
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: use me. God says, your process is part of what
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: they need to emerge. So that by the time you
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: become king, there are already mighty men around you. You
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: must understand that. I see God raising David.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: Yes. I see David. Because it is the Davidic season.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: The grace to detach men from wrong things.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: And set them up. Giant imagine.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: Regardless of where.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: They are coming from. You will see people you are
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: seeing today in no time. You will be shocked. Many
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: of you are looking at your colleagues when they share
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: things online.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: And it looks like they have all left you behind.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: Relaxed.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: Relax i make bold to tell you relax relax relax
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: relax disciples of jesus said we have left all and
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: followed you what's our hope just didn't say why i
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: ask another question said no one who left all and
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: follow me will not have the even the blessing of
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: god even in this life and the world to come
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: But before the mandate came And many called him a
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: fool For following him But is he a fool now?
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: There are parts that look foolish Because every vision speaks
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: at the end Some of you they've called you names
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: And say that your pastor you are falling up and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: down Is he the one that relaxes? Because when God
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: calls you with a captain He gives all the grace
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: there You must understand that I make bold to say
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: this And you must never allow pressure to cut you
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: off For the joy set ahead of him, he endured
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: the cross, despised the shame. There are crosses you can't
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: endure if you don't have joy set in front of you.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying here? Sir, there's a
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: way family problem will want to detach you from where
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: the destiny is.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: Because in God's system, you must also pay your price.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: Watch out.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: For when God is attaching you to a captain who
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: is at the end of his cave, Adulam experience.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: Because one moment you say, I'm done. The next moment
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: is the king. I see mighty men emerging from this house.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: I see mighty men rising from this house.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: The story is not permitted to end Until the songs
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: of victory.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: Is raised. The story is not permitted to end. Until
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: we sing the songs of victory.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: The story is not permitted to end. Until we sing
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: the songs of victory. So we are not wasting our time.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: I say we are not.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: We are not wasting time. There is a song. Calling
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: upon the Lord. I am not wasting. Can you sing
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: that song for us? Calling upon the Lord.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 5: I'm not wasting time. Calling upon the Lord. I'm not
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: wasting time. Calling upon, calling upon the Lord. I'm not
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: wasting time, Lord.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: Calling upon the Lord. Calling upon the Lord. Are you
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: wasting time?
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: I'm not wasting time. Calling upon, calling upon the.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: Lord.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: Calling upon the Lord.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: I'm not wasting time I'm not wasting time Calling upon
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 5: the Lord I'm not wasting.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: Time Thank you Lord.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: Amen And let me leave you with these closing words.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: The essence of what I've taught you is never allow
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: yourself to be carried away by the ocean.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: Of those problems that you miss God. That's the essence.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: Because once you get absorbed in it, you will miss God.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: And the reason why the devil makes the water range
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: so high is so that you can miss where God is.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: But sometimes where God is waiting may look bigger than
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: the problem itself. God is not stressing you. He's making you.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: He's not stressing you. He's making you. He has a plan.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: And nobody can have a better plan. Everything pressure gives
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: looks like.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: A better plan. That was what the devil told Eve.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: That God knows when you do this, you'll be like this. Meanwhile,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 4: God already gave them. It pays to serve God's It
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: pays to follow him.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: Those who were able to successfully change the narrative were
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: those who said yes to God. Were those who said
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: yes to God. I see God using you powerfully. I see, listen,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: I see patterns ending through your devotion to God. I
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: see patterns ending As you get devoted to God, God
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: gets busy with those things. That's the way it works.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: Do you understand this? I see God helping somebody. I
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: see convictions being strengthened. I see convictions being strengthened. I
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: see men standing strong in what God has said.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: I see convictions being strengthened. I see Jonah returning back
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: to Nineveh.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: Yes. I see Jonas returning back to Nineveh. And I
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: see help coming from above. Strength on all sides. You
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 4: will serve God in your lifetime. Now, listen, listen.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: The Bible said, except a grain of wheat first fall
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: to the ground and dies, it abides alone.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it feels like dying. But it is not dead.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: It is only sown.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: You are not failing. You are being sown. And when
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: the grain of wheat fell to ground and dies, it
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: brings forth sixty hundred fools. Are you following what I'm
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: saying here? Are you following what I'm saying here? Don't
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: be carried away. You can't solve the problem except God
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: does it. All your effort will end up becoming nothing.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: Because that's the trap of where the devil is waiting.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: If you follow the heart of my teaching, I'm just
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: giving you the blueprint to be the original solution.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: We are not instigating wickedness. Get my heart.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying, there's a route that you take it.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: At the end of your life, you'll discover you've not
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: done anything. Are you following what I'm saying there?
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: Indeed, God... will use you to end those things. But
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: it's not going to be with your own intelligence.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: It will be in submission to his plan.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 4: Praise God. I call you blessed.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: And I ask that the hand of God rest upon
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: all of you. And the spirit of wisdom sit here.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: From today, you know what to do by the Spirit.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: You are not confused in the name of Jesus.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: You are not confused. You will finish well, sir.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: And God will anoint your shoulders for the responsibility ahead.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: He will anoint you to do it. You won't fail God.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: I call you blessed. It is done. In Jesus' mighty name.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: Have you been blessed today? Let's give Jesus a big hand.
• 1:29:32
