- 2:04Every time. I have the opportunity to get the reports.
- 2:08I'm very humbled at what God is doing. And I've
- 2:11told you that leadership is not about maintaining followers. It's
- 2:17about transforming supposedly ordinary people to become leaders.

- 3:32We had a glorious session with the leaders this morning
- 3:36and we discussed a few things and God helping us.
- 3:41We trust that the truth we have learned will take
- 3:44us from glory to glory in Jesus' name. Joshua, chapter
- 3:49one and verse eight. The Lord inspired a few things
- 3:52in my heart to share with us. One of the
- 3:57things that I was telling the leaders in the morning
- 4:00in our training is the fact that one of the
- 4:05secrets of being a blessing to people is to bring
- 4:09teachings that are relevant to their needs, teachings that are
- 4:15life applicable away together. It's important that the truth will
- 4:20communicate that they sustain the power to liberate people and
- 4:24were committed in this house towards the holistic development of everyone,
- 4:31so that we're not just limited to your spiritual growth
- 4:34and development alone, but that every aspect of your life
- 4:39has the glory of God reflected in it. And tonight
- 4:42I'm inspired to teach on a subject I title good success.
- 4:50Please write it down and then pay attention good success.
- 4:56Good success for our text. Let's go to Joshua chapter
- 4:59one and verse eight. We can see it projected. Let's
- 5:03read together. One to read this book of the Law
- 5:08shall not depart from out of your mouth, but thou
- 5:12shalt meditate during day and night, that thou mayors observe
- 5:18to do according to all that is written. Daring for them,
- 5:23shall now make thy way prosperous, and thou shalt have
- 5:28good success. So this is God admonishing Joshua, who was
- 5:36now taking the button of leadership after the departure of
- 5:39Moses Joshua. Chapter one starts with someone God Someone's Joshua
- 5:44and says, Moses, my servant is dead. And now he
- 5:48begins to guide him on the principles that would help
- 5:52him succeed, And then the Bible says among them, he
- 5:57tells him that the secret to good success is found
- 6:02in verse eight, that you shall not let the law
- 6:08of the Lord, the Book of the Lord, depart from
- 6:10your mouth. You shall meditate thereing day and night that
- 6:14you observe to do according to all that is written therein.
- 6:19Write this down, please the first point that I want
- 6:23us to get very clearly and without confusion. And those
- 6:27across the overflows, please make sure you're writing and paying attention.
- 6:32The first thing I want you to know is that
- 6:34the Bible is very clear as to the fact that
- 6:38it is God's desire that we leave an excelling life.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Please write it down.
- 6:44Speaker 1: It is God's desire that we leave an excelling life.
- 6:48Speaker 2: It is not just.
- 6:49Speaker 1: God's desire that we serve him. It is not just
- 6:53God's desire that we love him. It is God's desire
- 6:57that the believer leaves an excelling life. He said, Oh, Lord,
- 7:02our God, how excellent is your name. His name is
- 7:06not just powerful, His name is not just mighty. His
- 7:09name excels even in glory. So write is down. John
- 7:14ten ten Jesus was teaching, and he said, the thief
- 7:18comment not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
- 7:25That is Satan's ministry. He said, But I am calm
- 7:28that they may have life, and to have it more abundantly.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Other versions to say, to have it to its fullest.
- 7:37Speaker 1: So you must convince yourself, ladies and gentlemen, that you
- 7:41are not just here just to love God and to
- 7:44serve God alone.
- 7:45Speaker 2: These are priorities, but.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That in our dealing with God, God's desire is that
- 7:51whilst we serve him, we have an opportunity to live
- 7:55excelling lives.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Proverabs Chapter four, verse eighteen. The Bible there says, but
- 8:02the path of the just is as a shining light
- 8:08that shine it more and more, Say more and more,
- 8:11one more time, say more and more. By this scripture,
- 8:15it means you should never have a better yesterday. You
- 8:19should never look back and rejoice over your yesterday at.
- 8:23Speaker 2: The detriment of your today.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Allelujah that no matter what it is, the glory that
- 8:30is seen in your life today, it should pale with
- 8:34respect to the glory that is to come. May that
- 8:37be your testimony. It is God's desire that we live
- 8:41an excelling life. Unfortunately, many believers are unable to capture
- 8:47this reality in their lives. When you look at the
- 8:49life of the average believer, it is not a good
- 8:53portrait of who God is. What you will largely find
- 8:56in the life of the believer is passion for God,
- 8:59and that is very important, spiritual passion, love for God,
- 9:03love for the House of God. But then you look
- 9:06around the life of many believers, you cannot see the manifestation.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Of the glory of God.
- 9:11Speaker 1: The word glory comes from the Hebrew word capboard the
- 9:15Greek is dogsa.
- 9:16Speaker 2: It means the weightiness.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Whatever makes an object valuable or desirable is its glory. Allelujah,
- 9:26prays the name of the Lord. That is very important.
- 9:29Whatever makes an object. So the glory of this phone
- 9:34is found in its ability to either provide speed or
- 9:38high Internet away together. Now, the glory of this mic
- 9:42is in its ability to amplify my voice. So when
- 9:45we talk about the glory of God, we mean all
- 9:48the characteristic features that make God God, and the Bible
- 9:53says God desires that.
- 9:54Speaker 2: It is revealed through the saints.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Your life is glorious to the degree to which we
- 10:00see present in your life the factors that make God God,
- 10:04his wisdom, his power, and all that makes God God.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Are we following now? So it's important to establish this.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'm saying this particularly because many of us, and most
- 10:18of us that come around this area, we usually sadly
- 10:24but truthfully, we do not have many models that give
- 10:29us a balanced picture of God's idea as to how
- 10:33the believer should be. We know God's expectation today because
- 10:37there was a man called Abraham. Is that true? And
- 10:39the Bible says in Isaah fifty one, he says, look
- 10:42onto Abraham, your father, and to Sarah that body. It says,
- 10:47for I called him a lord, and I blessed him.
- 10:52Speaker 2: So most of us come from families.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Most of us come from cultures where the people with
- 11:00so around us were either people who were very spiritual
- 11:04but they failed in every other aspect of their lives,
- 11:07or maybe a few people out of a great family,
- 11:10you may find one or two people who lift their
- 11:13heads a bit, at least within the context of that locality,
- 11:17and then they reject God, they resent anything God, or
- 11:22you find people in between. So it is difficult for
- 11:26many believers to attain onto this balanced state of excellence
- 11:30because we largely have not seen models that exemplify that.
- 11:35It's like people choose certain aspects. They either choose wealth
- 11:39at the detriment of their spiritual lives, or they choose
- 11:42spirituality at the detriment of every other aspect of their lives.
- 11:47But the destiny of the believer is found in Genesis
- 11:50twenty four and verse one. It says, and Abraham Genesis
- 11:54twenty four and verse one was old and well.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Stricken in age.
- 11:59Speaker 1: The Bible says, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Things professy to yourself, say all things that.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Means, eventually every aspect of your life should capture and
- 12:13reveal the glory of God.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Are we following now?
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'm saying this because nothing will change in your life
- 12:20until you indoctrinate yourself to believe that. Regardless my current situation,
- 12:25it is still the will of God for me to
- 12:28live an excelling life. An excelling life is not a
- 12:31life of competition. An excelling life is not a life
- 12:34of comparison. And excelling life is not a life of saying,
- 12:37I am better than you, the Bible says, and they're
- 12:40comparing themselves with themselves and not wise.
- 12:43Speaker 2: So that is not what we're called into. But that
- 12:45the Bible tells.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Us that God wants to use us. In fact, it
- 12:50says it's in excellently in efficiency. After to understand, give
- 12:54us please efficients to understand. It says, for his workmanshep
- 13:00his tools. It says, created in Christ Jesus onto good
- 13:05works which God had before ordained that we should work in.
- 13:10We are not just the ship of his pasture. We
- 13:13are not just his children. The Bible calls us his workmanship.
- 13:16You know what that means? That the tools that he uses,
- 13:20like when you see a doctor, his workmanship is his
- 13:23stethoscope and all that he uses to excel. He's saying
- 13:28that we are his workmanship. That means, when the world
- 13:31wants to see how mighty God is, he uses the
- 13:34believer just like tools to display the dimensions of power
- 13:38and glory that he has.
- 13:39Speaker 2: If you're with me, say amen, it is a very.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Difficult thing, but you have to walk your way through
- 13:47believing that.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I may be in one room.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Listen, ladies and gentlemen, I may come from a family
- 13:52where I'm currently staying in a mudhouse. I may be
- 13:56wearing a torn cloth. I may not have an opportunity
- 13:59to it well. But regardless the situation, this one thing
- 14:03you must have at the back of your mind that
- 14:06my current situation can never define my destiny. Away together,
- 14:10now that it is God's desire that I leave an
- 14:13excelling life, please say it after me, it is God's
- 14:16desire that I live an excelling life. One more time,
- 14:21say it is God's desire that I leave an excelling life.
- 14:26You try to make this confession on your own, and
- 14:29you will be surprised at the mental enemies that will
- 14:32rise to challenge that statement. The moment you make that statement,
- 14:35your pocket answers, who are you talking about you make
- 14:39that statement that eleven people in your family, with the
- 14:43highest person not amounting to anything, will answer the room.
- 14:47You are staying leaking with water. The inabilities that surround you.
- 14:53These are the things that keep you down, and you
- 14:55feel stupid for making that confession. But the Bible says,
- 14:59let the redeemed of the Lord say so, say so,
- 15:04Let the healed of the Lord say so. Let the
- 15:07blessed of the Lord say so. I will learning very important.
- 15:12I needed to take some time to stress this point
- 15:15because many people do not know or they have not
- 15:19assimilated it spiritually, that God's desire is that we live.
- 15:24Speaker 2: An excelling life.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Many are trying to live a competitive life. Many are
- 15:29trying to live a life of comparison. I am better
- 15:32than my brother, I am better than my sister. Out
- 15:35of my family, I am the only one who has reasen.
- 15:38That's not what you are called to do. And you see,
- 15:44when you bring these points to your spirit, the devil
- 15:47will use all kinds of excuses. You've come from a
- 15:50family where nobody has reasen. You've come from this and that,
- 15:54and it may be true as far as your current
- 15:57context is concerned. But let me tell you saying it again,
- 16:01whether you are inside, whether you are outside, whether you
- 16:03are young or old, I don't care what the limitations
- 16:07are around your life. The first thing I'm telling you
- 16:09in the name of Jesus Christ is that it is
- 16:12God's desire for you to live an excelling life. Now,
- 16:15whether you actually live that excelling life or not is
- 16:19another discussion, but that in the mind of God, it
- 16:23is never his will for you to come and live
- 16:26walking around the earth a purposeless and a visionless life
- 16:31and then just die in shame and pain and reproach.
- 16:35That cannot be the will of God. Are we together
- 16:40right this down? Our success in this kingdom brings glory
- 16:46to God. One of the reasons why we most succeed
- 16:50is that our success.
- 16:51Speaker 2: In this kingdom brings glory to God.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Write it down, very simple statement, but it is very profound.
- 16:59Our successes brings glory to God. John chapter fifteen. Please
- 17:04give us verse eight, and then we jump to verse sixteen.
- 17:08John fifteen and verse eight. Let's read together in concert.
- 17:12You can see it written. Ready one to read hearing,
- 17:16is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit?
- 17:21Speaker 2: So shall ye be my disciples.
- 17:24Speaker 1: The Father is not glorified if you do not bear
- 17:27much fruit. Another word for much fruit is not table
- 17:33results for those of you. I presume everybody should be
- 17:37following the teachings. But I did a series of teachings
- 17:41commanding salvation over territories, and I taught you in that
- 17:46teaching that your results are also preachers. That is a salmon.
- 17:52Only your results can preach. You were never designed to
- 17:56be the only preacher. Are we together? Now your results
- 18:00are also preachers. There is a salmon only your results
- 18:04can preach. And if you do not attain to a
- 18:07point where you produce notable kingdom results, you will rob
- 18:12your territory of a kind of evangelism. The Bible says,
- 18:16if you do not believe me because of who I am,
- 18:20believe me for the work's sake. That means the work
- 18:23is also preaching. Herein is my Father glorified. When you
- 18:29bear much fruit, he says, socially, be my disciples. Verse
- 18:33sixteen says ye have not chosen me. It says, but
- 18:37I have chosen you and ordained you. The word ordain
- 18:41means to commission, to legitimize your operation. I have ordained
- 18:46you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and
- 18:50that your fruit should remain.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Say amen.
- 18:54Speaker 1: That means, in God's design, I repeat one more time
- 18:57for emphasis, you should never have a better yesterday. The
- 19:01believers should not sit down reministen on yesterday and discussing
- 19:06on yester years.
- 19:07Speaker 2: The Bible says.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Listen carefully that Jesus Christ the same yesterday, the same
- 19:12today and forever. That means, if I look at your life,
- 19:16the version of you last year, the version of your
- 19:18beginning of this year should far exceed what you are now.
- 19:25And I'm not just speaking in terms of physical things alone.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Are we together now? Very important?
- 19:33Speaker 1: Most believers do not know that becoming successful is ministry.
- 19:42Becoming successful is ministry. Write it down. If I tell
- 19:48you least the various activities that translate to ministry, you
- 19:52will say preaching you are right. You will say giving
- 19:55you are right, evangelism you are right.
- 19:58Speaker 2: But most people you do not know that kingdom's success
- 20:02is ministry.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Now, please pay attention, because I'm going to be giving
- 20:07you a balance. When I talk about kingdom success, we're
- 20:11not talking about this moundane, godless pursuit that alienates Jesus
- 20:16Christ out of the system.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Make no mistakes about it. That is not what I'm saying.
- 20:22Speaker 1: But it's important for you to know that your success
- 20:25is not just a goal achieved.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Your success is ministry.
- 20:32Speaker 1: And the same way you pay attention to the preaching
- 20:35of the world, the same way you pay attention to
- 20:38every other dimension of ministry, you must pay attention to
- 20:42kingdom success.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Are we together Galatians one twenty four.
- 20:47Speaker 1: It's an anthem in this ministry, simple but profound scripture.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Let's read it together, one to read.
- 20:54Speaker 1: And they glorified God in me one more time. And
- 20:58they glorified God in me. They looked at my life,
- 21:04and at the end of it, they said, God, you
- 21:06are great. May that be someone's testimony. That's what it
- 21:11means to be a living epistle. Apostle Paul said, we
- 21:14are living epistles. You know what that means that if
- 21:17somebody did not read his Bible and left home without
- 21:20reading the Bible, when he sees you, you become a continuation
- 21:24of his devotion, that your life opens up chapters in
- 21:28the Bible he could not read. So he finds out
- 21:31that the Bible is everywhere around him. The one in
- 21:33his room is just one of the many available. There
- 21:36are many living epistles. That's someone who knew you before.
- 21:41If they know you now, your life and your results
- 21:45begin to shout it that God can lift any man
- 21:48from it. Don't heal to wherever? Someone learning in Matthew
- 21:57chapter twenty five, who beginer reading from verse fourteen, we
- 22:01know it theologically to be the parable of the talents
- 22:05Matthew twenty five. So Jesus is teaching on the Kingdom
- 22:09of Heaven, and he's giving a parable that the parable
- 22:13the Kingdom of Heaven is.
- 22:15Speaker 2: As a man traveling into a far country, the.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Bible says, he called his own servants and delivered to
- 22:21them goods. Notice he didn't give them a message. He
- 22:25gave them goods. Fifteen. Now he says, onto one he
- 22:32gave five talents. On to another, he gave two, on
- 22:36to another. He gave one to every man according to
- 22:41his several ability, not according to his love for them,
- 22:45according to their several abilities.
- 22:48Speaker 2: And straightway he took on his journey.
- 22:50Speaker 1: And when you read down for the sake of time,
- 22:53the Bible says, the guy who had five went and
- 22:56traded it.
- 22:56Speaker 2: He made five more.
- 22:58Speaker 1: The guy who had two went and traded it and
- 23:00made two more. But the guy who had won, in anger,
- 23:05obviously jealousy pain, did not do anything with his talent,
- 23:09and the Bible says he went to bury it in
- 23:11the ground. The mistake is that you only bury seeds,
- 23:14not talents. You don't bury talents. You bury seeds. When
- 23:21you bury talents in the ground, they don't grow. It
- 23:24is seeds that grow. And in anger he went to
- 23:29bury it. And when the man came, now the owner
- 23:33of the goods, he demanded accountability from them. The one
- 23:40with five, what have you done? He said, while you
- 23:43were away, I was busy working on this five. I
- 23:46have five more. And he said, well done, thou good
- 23:50and faithful servant. He says, you have been faithful over
- 23:54a few things. I will make the ruler over many things.
- 23:59Entered down into the joy of the Lord. Then the
- 24:01guy with two, he said, you gave me two, and
- 24:04I didn't have time to compete with the guy who
- 24:06had five. I was focused doing my best, and out
- 24:10of the two you gave me, I made two more.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Same commendation.
- 24:15Speaker 1: He says, that has been faithful over a few things.
- 24:18I will make the ruler over many things, and taped
- 24:22down into the joy of the Lord.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Now here is the lesson verse twenty four.
- 24:26Speaker 1: The one who received one talent did not know that
- 24:30if he had done something with one, if he did
- 24:33the same thing the guy with five did, if he
- 24:35did the same thing the guy with two did, he
- 24:37would have had one more, and he would have gotten
- 24:40the same commendation. Are we together now? The guy with
- 24:45five got well done, not because he had five, but
- 24:49because he brought five more.
- 24:52Speaker 2: The guy with two. He didn't say, this guy worked
- 24:55more than you.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It would be unfair to expect from the guy you
- 24:59gave two. So this gentleman would have worn his best.
- 25:04He would have gone to answer them and say, what
- 25:06are you doing with your own? Let me at least
- 25:08do with my one, and say, well, this is the one.
- 25:12Then after he produces the results, you will now say,
- 25:14but God, what you Why.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Did you give me one? But he was angry.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Lord, I knew thee that thou at a hard man.
- 25:25Can you imagine it's like an employee talking to his employer,
- 25:29ripping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou
- 25:33hast not strong. You see the kind of bigterness and
- 25:36the things that were in that man.
- 25:37Speaker 2: You see why he got one. That one was given
- 25:41an act of messy.
- 25:42Speaker 1: I was afraid that I went and hit the talent
- 25:45in the earth, and lo, here is your talent.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Here what Jesus says to.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Him, thou wicked and slought for other versions who say,
- 25:53unprofitable servant, he says, since you knew that I like
- 25:57ripping where I did not sow, why didn't you give
- 26:00it in the bank so that at least I will
- 26:02have interest? Even if it was that means given if
- 26:06the guy brought a little percent, he would have commended
- 26:09him for at least doing something away together, and he
- 26:16rebuked him. The Bible says, take the talent from him
- 26:20and give it to the guy that had ten. It
- 26:24then means when a believer does not produce results, it
- 26:28is possible that even your bishopric, your bishop, it defines
- 26:34the circumference of your relevance. Because you see, I told
- 26:38you that every believer is a living episto. There is
- 26:41a salmon that your life and your results should preach.
- 26:45And if you rob people from hearing that salmon, God
- 26:48loves you, but he loves other people who should hear
- 26:51you too. Eventually he will replace you and it is
- 26:56my prayer that no body be replaced.
- 26:58Speaker 2: In this life.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Many great things God can speak concerning you, but it
- 27:05does not guarantee that you will walk in them. Let
- 27:07me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, there are many people
- 27:10today destined for glory, DestinE for grace. Some of them
- 27:13have seen it prophetically, But as it is right now,
- 27:17many people never end up leaving one tenth of their
- 27:21prophetic destinies.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Are we together now? Write this now?
- 27:34Speaker 1: When the Bible says, well, don't write, just listen before
- 27:38you write. When the Bible talks about good success, it
- 27:42immediately suggests that there is bad success. And let me
- 27:47talk a bit about bad success. How do I know
- 27:50that the kind of success I'm pressing towards is good
- 27:54success or bad success?
- 27:57Speaker 2: I will tell you very simple.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Success is any kind of result that you seek to achieve.
- 28:05Listen to me that you will have to give up
- 28:09your love for God. Are we together and the desire
- 28:13to be a blessing to attain it? That means the
- 28:17condition for attaining onto bad success is that your soul
- 28:21suffers in the process. The condition for attaining onto bad
- 28:26success is that in your desire to press for it.
- 28:30People are wounded, people are hurt. You do not become
- 28:34a blessing while you are doing so. You negate Genesis
- 28:37chapter twelve, from verse two and three, it says, in
- 28:41these shall all the families of the earth be blessed?
- 28:44Speaker 2: Is someone learning?
- 28:45Speaker 3: Now?
- 28:46Speaker 2: Why am I teaching you this? Because we live in
- 28:48a world right now.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Unfortunately, especially our generation, there is an obsession for success.
- 28:55There is an obsession to make it, and the ration
- 29:00continues to grow. It looks like there is a stigma
- 29:03that comes upon your life if at a certain levels,
- 29:07certain results are not achieved, financially and otherwise. And so
- 29:11many people right now are under all kinds of pressure.
- 29:15I must make it by any means. I will do anything,
- 29:19it does not matter what. So there are people today
- 29:24joining all kinds of occultic groups, all kinds of fraternities,
- 29:28all kinds of gangs, formally or informally, because they desire
- 29:35to make it. It looks like there is a way society
- 29:38celebrates you when you make it. So finally you are rich.
- 29:41Now this guy is your own, this house is your own.
- 29:45We have all kinds of slangs that define what we
- 29:48call success, and unfortunately, our generation is perpetually under pressure.
- 29:55Speaker 2: There are many people right.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Now carrying self inflicted burdens, loads and luggages that did
- 30:01not come by God because of the pressure to prove
- 30:04a point.
- 30:05Speaker 2: There is bad success.
- 30:09Speaker 1: That the more you press, your spiritual life is dying.
- 30:13Speaker 2: I must make the money by all means.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I must marry by all means, I must have the
- 30:17child by all means. I must go abroad by all means.
- 30:21It does not matter what happens to my spiritual life.
- 30:24Your prayer life is dying. It doesn't matter. Let me
- 30:27just make the money. No, at the end of it,
- 30:31you will find out that what you left for what
- 30:34you have was not worth it. Did you hear what
- 30:38I'm saying, Because for many people we have this idea,
- 30:42especially about money. Now, I'm not downplaying all these things.
- 30:45I'm teching you on success already. But many people have
- 30:48this idea that if you fairly in every aspect of
- 30:52your life, but you finally have some money, either by
- 30:55a good job, a good business at least let you
- 30:57have a house, a car and something, they does feel
- 31:00you all right?
- 31:01Speaker 2: It is a deception of the devil. Are we together?
- 31:08There is bad success.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Unfortunately, bad success seems to be more fashionable than good
- 31:15success because of the price and the protocol it takes
- 31:19to attain onto good So it looks too long, the
- 31:24process looks too cumbasome I can cheat my way and
- 31:28manipulate my way into good success. Many of us. Probably
- 31:37there are some of you right now hearing me and
- 31:40listening to me. God sent you here today because you
- 31:42are about to make careless and even foolish decisions. Because
- 31:47of this obsession. You have convenanted with yourself that this
- 31:51year twenty twenty three, especially that God has declared onto
- 31:54us prophetically that it's a year of open doors. I
- 31:58have told you even a prison doors. So just because
- 32:01the door is open, you need to find out where
- 32:03you are entering. Allelujah bad success. Our world is full
- 32:16of bad success. People cheat, people kill, people join fraternities.
- 32:23They will tell you go and bring your mother as
- 32:25a sacrifice, and you say it doesn't matter. She was
- 32:28going to die anyway. The only thing is that I'm
- 32:30just hurrying the time.
- 32:32Speaker 2: M You see.
- 32:37Speaker 1: The thing we'd say, Tanner is you never know the
- 32:40price of what you're gaining for until you taste of
- 32:43it a bit.
- 32:44Speaker 2: So you begin to work and enjoy.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Go and ask people who have been part of cold
- 32:48groups and fraternities. For the first few years, it will
- 32:53look as if there is no demand. Then one day,
- 32:56at the point where your failure can affect you and
- 33:00affect others, the devil now comes and says, just to
- 33:02let you know it was alone. You are being collected.
- 33:05I'm going to calculate the loan and the interest.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Now you are a big man, and everybody knows you're
- 33:11a big man.
- 33:12Speaker 1: How do I survive the shame? So you're first born?
- 33:18Not Abraham's kind of isaacle, this one.
- 33:21Speaker 2: You are killing your son.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Everything that would desire you living the Lord, every kind
- 33:35of success that would desire you compromising on your relationship
- 33:39with the Lord to attain onto I am telling you
- 33:41this is deception. You are only liking poison that was
- 33:45sugar coated with sugar. It's only a matter of time.
- 33:49It will be like that's to your heart. Is someone learning? Yes,
- 33:56there are many many people today. It will take God
- 33:59to help them because they have dappled into all kinds
- 34:02of say, tiny things, and that includes preachers.
- 34:06Speaker 2: There are some of you.
- 34:07Speaker 1: When you see what God is doing with our lives,
- 34:09you admire so much, and someone will tell you, look,
- 34:11there's a way. There's a way we do this. There's
- 34:15a way ministry is done. There's a way they can
- 34:17wash your eyes. There's a way you can profess high.
- 34:20There is a way you can get money from ministry.
- 34:23It looks very attractive and marketable. After all I suffered,
- 34:27you would say, and let me tell you the truth.
- 34:33Don't say it can happen to me. Just say, God
- 34:35show me messy. Because you see, the devil is not
- 34:38a fool. He will not come to you when you
- 34:40have options. He will allow life to press you to
- 34:43a point. Many of you do not know what the
- 34:46human being can do on that desperation. By the time
- 34:50you see that your mother is dying, somebody will now
- 34:53come to you and say I told you, except you
- 34:56don't love your mother. There's a place I can pay
- 34:58the transport for you. And you say, Mamma, you gave
- 35:01too much for me. It can be that I'm a
- 35:04failure and I could not help my mother, and you
- 35:06will get into things that you did not imagine. Satain
- 35:09will not to you when you are just a fresh graduate.
- 35:11You are bubbling with every revelation. He will wait till
- 35:14after five years no job, no job, no nothing, no husband,
- 35:19no child, no nothing, and then you will use your
- 35:22friend to speak and say nawah for you. If this
- 35:25is your definition of Christianity, I'd rather be a non believer.
- 35:29You would say it doesn't matter. But you went at
- 35:30the roomanstart crying and say, God, this is unfair. I
- 35:34believe that I did everything to be successful. This is
- 35:37what is killing. There are people who cannot comew today.
- 35:41Esteem problems have affected so many people because many years
- 35:45ago you would see them and think they would be
- 35:47so successful.
- 35:49Speaker 2: They carried the semblance.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Of a champion, but years after it looked like their
- 35:54lives are being reduced to almost nothing. I announced to
- 35:58you set your free by this teaching tonight.
- 36:01Speaker 2: There is bad success.
- 36:03Speaker 1: When you say you are admiring people, make sure you
- 36:06first define the kind of success you are looking at.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Are we together now.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Because there is the kind of success where you now
- 36:13see someone in millionnaire today traveling around the world. But
- 36:17you check your spiritual life. The fire that was there
- 36:20is no longer there. The love for Jesus that was there,
- 36:24it's no longer there. There are many people who go
- 36:26abroad and return back on believers, people who were prayer warriors,
- 36:31fasting giants. And you ask them, they tell you forget all.
- 36:34That thing is just proverty that makes Africa behave this way.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Ah nah soon nangka o.
- 36:48Speaker 5: Nah gear man soon nang co o nah allelujah.
- 37:12Speaker 1: So there is bad success, And I'm giving you the
- 37:17indices to measure. Number one, that any kind of success
- 37:21pursuit that will demand that your spiritual life dies as
- 37:26the condition for attaining it. And then number two, the
- 37:31kind of result that demands that you hurt and wound
- 37:34other people. You see, let me tell you this. Once
- 37:39upon a time, the Bible talks about David, and David said,
- 37:43oh that I would drink of the pull of Bethlehem.
- 37:47And the Bible says, he's mighty men this way men
- 37:50he had trained. They said, you've trained us so much.
- 37:53It's this what you want considered. They went and tore
- 37:57down a troop and it the massive people, and went
- 38:01and fetched the water and say, as you have demanded.
- 38:04David said, I cannot drink this again. There are too
- 38:06many lives that went for this. That is a man
- 38:09with conscience.
- 38:10Speaker 2: But there are people who do not care who dies.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Who goes through pain, which family goes through penury, Let
- 38:16me just make it. Even if it's my brother that dies,
- 38:19let him die. Let me just make it. And some
- 38:24of us there is a growing desperation because you will
- 38:27come into a circle of people who want to make
- 38:30it in ministry, want to make it in business, want
- 38:33to make it in life.
- 38:34Speaker 2: And it does not matter what I must make it
- 38:39in ministry. I want results anyhow, I want a name.
- 38:45I won't say.
- 38:48Speaker 1: I'm telling you that there is bad success because there
- 38:51are many people you admire today.
- 38:53Speaker 2: The clock is only tacking. Are we together.
- 38:57Speaker 1: They have compromised on your Christian life, and they have
- 39:01the cost of many people out on their head. There
- 39:06are business people today carrying the cost of too many people.
- 39:09There are families today carrying the cost of too many people.
- 39:13Most of us this issue of generational courses and the rest.
- 39:16It can because of times of wickedness that were done
- 39:20by four fathers.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Except for the revelation of.
- 39:23Speaker 1: The finished work of Christ and now administering the blood
- 39:26with understanding, some of us our grandfathers were habi lists.
- 39:31By the time they were slaughtering certain women. They made pronouncements.
- 39:34I made die by your children who pay that price,
- 39:37and they said, it's still dying. Now you came up
- 39:40through that lawing and you find out that everything good
- 39:43to work for you. That's speaking a bell do dead
- 39:47yet speaking. When the saints die, their wards don't die.
- 39:53There are people, some of our people, that were part
- 39:55of their master cab missionaries.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Some of you were part of the man of many people.
- 40:01Speaker 1: The Bible says the cause of the Lord is upon
- 40:04the house of the wicked. I'm reminding you that there
- 40:08is bad success, so that you don't start clamoring for everything.
- 40:13We go on the internet today and there are many
- 40:15people marketing different models of success. As a young lady,
- 40:20there is what they teach you. This is the happening
- 40:22thing now. If you are not doing it, you are
- 40:24not in fashion. As a gentleman. There are things you
- 40:28must have. Where is your car? Where are your designers?
- 40:33Where are your snapshots around the world. You are not
- 40:36making it, and there's that pressure, and many of you
- 40:39are already deviating from the part that leads to authentic
- 40:43glory into.
- 40:44Speaker 2: The path of chasing shadows.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Whereas when you started with God, the road you were
- 40:49following may looks slow, but that is the road that
- 40:52will take you there, the road of prayer. You didn't
- 40:56have money, but there's no light that you're not pray
- 41:00for one hour two hours later on someone told you,
- 41:03what is there in prayer? What is there in studying
- 41:05the world. You will keep reading the Bible like a
- 41:07fool till you become a failure. Now you said, this
- 41:09Bible thing, I'm tired of it. Let me start using.
- 41:16Then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and thou shalt
- 41:21have good success as a preacher.
- 41:24Speaker 2: They told you there is a way to raise money.
- 41:26Speaker 1: You can bring in somebody to comm and manipulate people,
- 41:29and you will get money. And after all that manipulation,
- 41:33all that you got was three hundred thousand.
- 41:35Speaker 2: And God said, is this what you replace me for?
- 41:38For three hundred thousands?
- 41:40Speaker 1: When I can call nations to come and stand with you.
- 41:43You have reduced me and put me side by side
- 41:46with three hundred thousand.
- 41:48Speaker 2: All right, so be it.
- 41:49Speaker 1: And you find out that that three thousands will be
- 41:51spent treating a mysterious sickness.
- 41:54Speaker 2: That the doctors would not be able to diagnose.
- 41:58Speaker 1: And yet on one will be sitting down quietly serving
- 42:03the Lord sincerely and saying Lord, I know I've got
- 42:06up drinking Gary, but I trust you. I will follow
- 42:09your path with dignity and honor, and one day it will.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Look like magic.
- 42:14Speaker 1: God will lift that person. And you say, I used
- 42:16to know this. Say bad success, Say good success. Good
- 42:25success is the kind that ultimately brings glory to God
- 42:30and then becomes a blessing and an inspiration to your generation.
- 42:35Let me repeat again that good success is the kind
- 42:38of pursuit that ultimately brings glory to God and then
- 42:45will allow your life and your results to be a.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Blessing and an inspiration to a generation.
- 42:51Speaker 1: That when someone is advising either your child, when someone
- 42:55is advising someone somewhere, he will say, listen, follow this model.
- 42:59There is a path that has been.
- 43:00Speaker 2: A match for you.
- 43:02Speaker 1: May your name become a model for someone in the
- 43:06name of Jesus.
- 43:07Speaker 2: May your life become a model that e prey.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Time someone wants to inspire their child or their staff,
- 43:14you are the name that will readily come to mind.
- 43:18There are names today we do not call our children,
- 43:21even though they're in the Bible. For instance, Lucifer. For instance,
- 43:26Judas is carry out.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Are we together? You will hardly find people carrying those names, and.
- 43:33Speaker 1: If for any reason they give children the names, they
- 43:35just wait patiently until they are adults. They quickly go
- 43:38to the court and change it and say, God forbid,
- 43:41I'm not.
- 43:41Speaker 2: The one who carried that can. Of course, we.
- 43:55Speaker 4: Raise your barner high.
- 43:58Speaker 2: We shine your lights of right.
- 44:02Speaker 6: We will sing, Lord, we will raise your partner, We
- 44:14will shine your lights of right, we will see.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Listen. Do you know.
- 44:25Speaker 1: Many years ago, in this same area, many years ago,
- 44:31there were people who were doing ministry. Now, I'm just
- 44:34saying this to inspire you. Those days, ministry was almost
- 44:39like becoming a god. There were people who were doing ministry.
- 44:42Speaker 2: You would think in two years they were going to
- 44:45sweep the whole world. They would compromise on anything just
- 44:49to make a name. I remember a gentleman.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Then he met me and said apostle with the kind
- 44:57of a well not they did call me apostle then,
- 44:59but with the what kind of annointing you have said
- 45:02you would be a bishop in other ministries. I just
- 45:05laughed and I appreciated him. That carrier bad success and
- 45:10live my life. Now, let me tell you the truth.
- 45:13I'm saying this not to be sarcastic. I remember, I
- 45:18mean it work, programs after programs, things after things. There
- 45:23used to be people with all kinds of things, young
- 45:25people on campus, but with protocol, with this, with all.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Kinds of things. Ah, I'm in ministry. Then hold my Bible,
- 45:34hold my hand, hold my this, hold my dad.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Over nothing, absolutely nothing. It was not your fault. There
- 45:43were models they were following, and unfortunately, I say this
- 45:47with every sense of responsibility, many of those people, alongside
- 45:51their models, have faded out completely.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Because God is not a fool. Are we together?
- 45:59Speaker 1: One day I went to minister somewhere. Quite some years
- 46:04now too. I went to minister somewhere, and when I
- 46:07was done ministering, I was invited to the pastor's office
- 46:13just to have some time before I would leave. And
- 46:15the gentleman who ushered me. I just look at his
- 46:17face and he was very similar. I said, Ah, are
- 46:22you not so so so and so, and he said yes, sir.
- 46:25Speaker 2: My heart dropped.
- 46:26Speaker 1: I wanted to say what happened? This gentleman was then
- 46:31a five brand. Look when they told you points the
- 46:34people who are going to take the world, ah, point
- 46:38the people who may even retire any him, you would
- 46:41call these names, and now you are asking what changed.
- 46:45Speaker 2: Now.
- 46:45Speaker 1: I'm not saying this so that you will laugh at people.
- 46:47It is that it can happen to you if you
- 46:49don't listen. Are we together? You see?
- 46:54Speaker 2: The unit of.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Destiny is time. Say time? Shout it again. The unit
- 46:59of destiny is time. Whatever you give your time to,
- 47:04you are giving a part of your life to. And
- 47:06let me tell you the truth. Time does not go backward.
- 47:09It only goes forward. Whether you waste it, whether you
- 47:13spend it, whether you investive, time goes forward. Many of
- 47:18you can remember when you were ten years, fifteen years, twenty.
- 47:21Now look at you, thirty forty and all of that.
- 47:27Every time I come to Zarah and I look at
- 47:29our wonderful children, I am amazed. Some of these children
- 47:32were dedicated here. You see that the same way our
- 47:35parents look at us and they say, look at these children.
- 47:37Now they are the ones doing this.
- 47:39Speaker 2: That is the deceptive brevity of life.
- 47:42Speaker 1: So it says to work circumspectly as wise and not
- 47:47as on wise, redeeming the time.
- 47:50Speaker 2: It says for the days evil.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Some of you are wasting your time, joking around, not
- 47:55paying attention to God, not knowing that it takes time
- 48:00to know God, it takes time to build valuable relationships.
- 48:04And if there will come prepared or not, the stage
- 48:08of your destiny will open up. It is a terrible
- 48:11thing to rehas on stage. The stage is not for rehezard,
- 48:15it's for manifestation. Now that you are in the wilderness,
- 48:19you must learn how to kill the peer. You must
- 48:21learn how to kill the lion. Don't stand and reyhas
- 48:24the day you stand before God liad. Godliard is not
- 48:27a toy if someone learning bad success. Can you say
- 48:37your spiritual life has been as robust as it was?
- 48:41Can you say your prayer, life, fasting, loving the Lord,
- 48:45passion for the house of God, apostle. I don't know
- 48:48when it went down, because me, I need to make money.
- 48:51That's my own it's my goal this year. Congratulations. But
- 48:55if it is at the expense of your spiritual life,
- 48:57I'm telling you you are already headed towards it.
- 49:00Speaker 7: That end.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Because a man can receive nothing. Please listen to me.
- 49:05A man can receive nothing. You see him. If God
- 49:09does not help you in life, ned to keep looking
- 49:11like you almost make it. But that's how your years
- 49:14will pass.
- 49:17Speaker 8: A jingy sooroba. Let's say, Basani, say.
- 49:32Speaker 9: Ma, tame my coat, ta ta my coat?
- 49:45Speaker 2: Kindly bers so.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Bas so, before we clap for your results, keep it
- 50:04on the table of destiny and let us check what
- 50:07kind of success. Don't waste your time clapping for just
- 50:11any kind of success. Now you are learning not to
- 50:15be critical, but to be intelligent spiritually. You will find
- 50:19out that many of the applauds you are clapping is
- 50:22a waste of time. You are only clapping for shadows,
- 50:25clapping for people who have deaden their spiritual lives and
- 50:29do not care.
- 50:30Speaker 2: I must just make it now. We don't condemned. We
- 50:33hope that the messy of God comes. But let me
- 50:36tell you the kind of success that would demand that
- 50:41you leave God and then.
- 50:43Speaker 1: To stop being a blessing to attain it is a
- 50:46bait by Satan from Satan to destroy you. If you're
- 50:51understanding me, so asay amen now for tonight, let me
- 50:57give you two keys. Says is based on laws. Write
- 51:01that down, please. Success is based on laws and principles.
- 51:07Laws and principles, write it down. Success is based on
- 51:13laws and principles. Job thirty eight and verse thirty three job.
- 51:23Speaker 2: Was speaking with the Lord. And here's what the Lord
- 51:27asks Joe thirty eight thirty three. It says, no West
- 51:31doubt the ordinances of Heaven.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Let's read it from NIV if we can find it,
- 51:37or any other modern translation, so that you will understand it.
- 51:41Speaker 2: Now, let's read one to read. Do you know the
- 51:43laws of the heavens?
- 51:45Speaker 1: It says, can you set up God's dominion using them
- 51:49over the earth? No West doubt the ordinances of Heaven?
- 51:55And canst thou set the dominion thereof? That means do
- 51:58you know why heaven is a place of order and dexterity?
- 52:02There are laws? Satan is not dear, Yet there are laws.
- 52:05Can you reproduce those laws to your life and to
- 52:08your environment? Because the assignment is let it be done
- 52:12in earth as it is in heaven. Are we together
- 52:17you want to see the glory of God? There are
- 52:20patterns you must keep leviticals Chapter nine and verse six.
- 52:24Write that scripture down and never forget it for the
- 52:27rest of your life. And Moses said, this is the
- 52:31thing which the Lord commanded that he should do. It says,
- 52:35and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you,
- 52:38The glory of the Lord does not just appear in
- 52:41the various aspects of our lives until there are patterns
- 52:45to keep. You may have heard me teach it, but
- 52:47it bears repeating that the glory of God Listen carefully.
- 52:52The glory of God comes as an attestation that his
- 52:56patterns have been followed. The glory of the Lord upon
- 53:00a life as an attestation that his patterns have been followed.
- 53:07When you compromise on divine patterns, there is no guarantee
- 53:11to see in the glory away Together, I'm going to
- 53:21give you two kingdom principles that control good success.
- 53:26Speaker 2: There are many, but let's deal with two tonight.
- 53:28Speaker 1: And in the name of Jesus, I'm praying for you
- 53:31that while you are listening, allow the Holy Spirit to
- 53:34keep working on your mind. Don't look at your condition.
- 53:37Don't look at Zaria. It told Abraham I was sharing
- 53:40with the leaders this morning. He said, from where thou art,
- 53:43lift up your eyes, not from where you are going.
- 53:46You can start lifting your eyes from where you are,
- 53:48from that village, from that room, from that low estate,
- 53:52lift up your eyes. Two principles I have learned from Scripture.
- 54:00I have learned from the power of mentorship and by
- 54:05the privilege of God's grace now from experience that control
- 54:09good success. Number one is called the God first principle.
- 54:14Please write it the God dash first principle. This is
- 54:19the first principle I want to teach you tonight, the
- 54:23God first principle.
- 54:31Speaker 2: Alaham Lacus theater.
- 54:34Speaker 1: The God first principle. Please look up when you read Genesis,
- 54:41chapter one and verse one. This was a revelation that
- 54:44God gave me one time during study. The spirit of
- 54:48God took me to that scripture and said, read the
- 54:50first sentence, just the first sentence, and it reads, in
- 54:56the beginning God, read the first f want to go
- 55:03one more time, read like a believer, one more time.
- 55:10Just leave whatever you created in the beginning. God, this
- 55:15is the formula that controls an unbig table dimension of
- 55:19success that in the beginning of anything, whoever you honor
- 55:24from the beginning defines the possibilities in that life or
- 55:29in that destiny.
- 55:30Speaker 2: In the beginning, God, not in the beginning. Skill, Not
- 55:35in the beginning, friends, not in the beginning. Family, In
- 55:40the beginning of your life, the beginning of your study,
- 55:43the beginning of your health, the beginning of your destiny.
- 55:47Don't just say God is in my life. What is
- 55:49his position?
- 55:51Speaker 1: God's position matters, not just his presence, because you can
- 55:56be there alongside a baggage of many other things.
- 56:02Speaker 2: I can come to.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Your house, and while I'm in your house, there are
- 56:06six of us. One can be outside, the other can
- 56:10be in your living room, and then another can be
- 56:12in your bedroom, the inner chamber. We are all in
- 56:16your house, but the value you are placed on us,
- 56:18it's not the same. There are many people God is
- 56:21around your lives, but not at the epicenter of their lives.
- 56:27The god Fast principle, Ladies and gentlemen. You know, sometimes
- 56:34I feel I almost feel frustrated when I begin to
- 56:37teach these things because there is.
- 56:39Speaker 2: Such an odds to share testimonies to inspire you.
- 56:42Speaker 1: But unfortunately, we live in a world right now that
- 56:44always looks at things upside down, that when you share
- 56:47testimonies they are mistaken for pride.
- 56:50Speaker 2: But let me just tell you this.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Only a fool would tell you making God a priority
- 56:56does not lead to your elevation.
- 56:58Speaker 2: That would be a big mistake. Go and read your.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Bible and see men who make God your priority, and
- 57:05for a while they acted and looked like fools, except
- 57:09that at the end of their lives all that we
- 57:11see and we saw was the beauty and glory.
- 57:15Speaker 2: Of heaven the God.
- 57:17Speaker 1: First principle demands that God becomes alpha before he becomes Omega.
- 57:25He cannot be omeger over what he did not become
- 57:28alpha is alpha omega. If he did not begin it,
- 57:34there is no guarantee that he's going to sponsor it.
- 57:38Speaker 2: Are well learning?
- 57:41Speaker 1: Second Chronicles twenty six? Second Chronicles twenty six. Let's read
- 57:52verse three down to five. The Bible says sixteen years
- 57:58old was Usiah when he began to reign, And he
- 58:03reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem.
- 58:06Speaker 2: The Bible says. His mother's name was also Jacoliah of Jerusalem.
- 58:11Verse four.
- 58:12Speaker 1: It says, and he did that which was right in
- 58:15the sight of the Lord, according to all that his
- 58:19father Amassiah did. Verse twenty five. Let's read it together
- 58:24in concert. Ready one to read. And he sought God
- 58:28in the days of Zachariah, who had understanding in the
- 58:32visions of God.
- 58:33Speaker 10: Ahah.
- 58:34Speaker 1: And as long as he sought the Lord, God made
- 58:38him to prosper. Who makes men prosper. Yes, Sam, you
- 58:43got it right. It's an answer you must never changed
- 58:46for the rest of your life. Men prosper because they
- 58:49are marvelously helped by God.
- 58:54Speaker 2: I will lift up my eyes to the heels, he says.
- 58:57From whence comment?
- 58:58Speaker 1: My help is a question? He says, My help come
- 59:01met from the Lord, the Maker. I like that defamation.
- 59:06He calls God the Maker. It is not only the
- 59:09heavens and the earth he makes.
- 59:10Speaker 2: He can make.
- 59:11Speaker 11: Men.
- 59:12Speaker 1: Bring your destiny, as battered and scattered as it is.
- 59:16Hand it over to the Maker. That what your father
- 59:19could not do, what your mother could not do. Are
- 59:22we together now? What your tribal affiliation may not afford you,
- 59:26You handover that destiny. I know you can't speak English
- 59:30very well. I know you may not have the kind
- 59:32of pedigree that is welcoming. But you handover like the
- 59:36woman with the Alabasta box. Hand it over to the Maker,
- 59:40and watch what he does. He's this King of Glory.
- 59:48Speaker 3: The Lord Strong and mighty, the Lord mighty.
- 59:59Speaker 1: You you are the King of Glory, the Law strong
- 1:00:05and mighty, the Law Mighty. But a day will come
- 1:00:16you will travel to your home and pass roads you
- 1:00:19used to know before, except that the only thing that
- 1:00:21we're company.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Is the tears from your eyes.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: I remember this house, You will say, I remember this place,
- 1:00:28and you will say, how great the word the faithfulness
- 1:00:31of God over your life. Let the mockers mock while
- 1:00:34you love him. Let those who laugh at you laugh
- 1:00:36while you mock him. Let other people say, is God
- 1:00:39you are going to eat? Is God that will give
- 1:00:41you a husband. They are not wrong.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: You just continue.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Where God will carry people that look like nations and
- 1:00:48bring to your life. Listen, this is not a salmon. No,
- 1:00:55this is a charge by the spirit. Serving God pays
- 1:01:01you can enny living loving Jesus the same way they say, somebody,
- 1:01:07is this, what do you do? And you say, loving Jesus.
- 1:01:12Our world today will laugh at you, as a shame
- 1:01:14on you. What a foolish person preachers have in doctrinated you.
- 1:01:18Watched the person who spoke after ten years the brothers
- 1:01:23of Jesus of Joseph taught his passion the dreams that
- 1:01:27he was having. They were angry and they tried to
- 1:01:30throw him into the well. But they did not know
- 1:01:32the kind of hand and influence that was back in him.
- 1:01:36For some of you, God sent you to Zaria. Here
- 1:01:38I was teaching our precious people that coinonia Zaria is
- 1:01:42different from every other expression of coynonia across the globe
- 1:01:46because this place is more than an apostolic center, is
- 1:01:49a training ground.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: This is is like military, the school of infantry.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: This is where those who are world changers are identified
- 1:01:58and made. Some of you are sated quietly. Yeah, that
- 1:02:03prophet is still there, seated quietly. Apostle, I come from
- 1:02:07a family somewhere in Plateau or southern Carona.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: We do not even have there is don't worry, allow
- 1:02:14them maker make you.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: Don't allow fools that don't know where they are going
- 1:02:18to deceive you. People who are not going anywhere. They
- 1:02:20don't have any idea about their life. You see, the
- 1:02:23fallen man is arrogant even at the height of ignorance.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Are we together, Yes, Alla Toski at her.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: If you had seen many of us many decades before,
- 1:02:40now we will not look like it today. The foolishness
- 1:02:43of loving Jesus Lord, my life may not be much,
- 1:02:46but if you ever find value in it here I
- 1:02:49present it as a trophy, and God says it was
- 1:02:52mine all the way I gave you.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: You have the power to use it. Without me. Now
- 1:02:56you hand it over to me, he said.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: But I know whom I believe, and I am persuaded
- 1:03:02that he's able to keep that listen which is committed
- 1:03:06to him. He only keeps what is committed to him,
- 1:03:09not what you hold and say, bless hand it over.
- 1:03:13He belongs to you, Lord. I have no idea about
- 1:03:16what my life should become. If I'm to use the
- 1:03:19parameters of my success right now, I may not amount
- 1:03:22to much. Maybe my father is no more alive, maybe
- 1:03:25my mother is not alive. Maybe what I studied or
- 1:03:28I'm studying is not even something from our world today
- 1:03:31from a value standpoint, It may not be something that
- 1:03:34guarantees anything. Hand it over, God is speaking to someone
- 1:03:40tonight is a handover service. Don't try to live your
- 1:03:44life and run it by your rules. You are already
- 1:03:46messing it up. Carry what is left with humility and
- 1:03:50bring it to him.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: He said. This is how my father messed up his life.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: When he was twenty five, he thought he was in
- 1:03:56control of things, and twenty five years the man who
- 1:04:00sat at Betesta, he was so close to the pool,
- 1:04:04Yet for thirty eight years he could not be healed.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: You can be so close to destiny.
- 1:04:08Speaker 12: Help us.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: You can be so close to opportunities, but there is
- 1:04:12no guarantee that God. If God does not help you,
- 1:04:16you will keep looking at greatness like this till you
- 1:04:18grow old. You will never step into it. It's terrible
- 1:04:21to see a thing you already have a picture, but
- 1:04:25to hold it. You will see that as close as
- 1:04:27you are until the hand of yelo Him stretches for you,
- 1:04:31you will never hold it.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: You know how they bad horses.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: They put straw in front of them of some grain, ah,
- 1:04:41and then they tie it.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: They will never be able to catch it. So their
- 1:04:45movement is not because they want to move in their minds.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: They hope that they are moving towards it. That is
- 1:04:51the deception of trying to be great without God.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: You will be close next week. Give me your CV
- 1:04:58I forgot ah.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: I used to be your father's classmate, and you start dancing.
- 1:05:04Finally it is done without God. You are joking that
- 1:05:08man will become.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: A director there and even after ten years he will leave.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: And unbelievers whom me and that into a crusette ground
- 1:05:16and say, I don't believe in Jesus, but let me
- 1:05:18receive this prophecy will go and move forward, and you
- 1:05:21find out that you remain there.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Accept the lord guilty house. They labor in Vain that
- 1:05:27build it.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: I'm speaking to someone, except the Lord watches over his city.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: My Bible says the watchmen watch it.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: But in Vain it says it is fain to wake
- 1:05:37up early and to sleep late at night, only to eat.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: The bread of sorrow. Only God can give his beloved sleep.
- 1:05:46Let me tell you something.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: During COVID, we didn't have service here. Remember during COVID,
- 1:05:54from February it was still December.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: That the service was held.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Remember, respectfully speaking, a few loving, sincere and very beautiful
- 1:06:05hearted men of God who called me and said, Apostle,
- 1:06:08what you are doing in suicidal You don't do that
- 1:06:10in ministry. That from February, you don't have any service,
- 1:06:16no point of contact with your people. By the time
- 1:06:18you call a meeting again, you will come and meet
- 1:06:21empty chairs. I said, I respect you, and I respect
- 1:06:24whoever taught you, But there is something.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: I know about God.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: You have no idea of my covenant with God. You
- 1:06:30have no idea of what he told me in the wilderness.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Mandered shadow.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: Love you weeks.
- 1:06:43Speaker 12: Your influences are low for me.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: I ambandered shadow of your weeks. Your influences are low
- 1:06:55for me, I I I y.
- 1:07:07Speaker 13: Here's the part of the song A lot I am
- 1:07:10me to I have ohver come, I am mean to me,
- 1:07:23I have ohver. No, not t your situation, I have over.
- 1:07:40Speaker 12: To hear me.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Whoever told you God cannot prosper you. This money thing
- 1:07:52that is making you leave the Lord. You need to
- 1:07:54pipe pipe low with it and come back to God
- 1:07:58and say my post you for money.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: You may have done it. Sincerely, Lord, I returned to you,
- 1:08:04help me and show me messy.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: You are the only one who can open the eyes
- 1:08:08of a man to see an oasis in the desert.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: If you do not open the eyes of men, they
- 1:08:12will not see a person. My own is that I
- 1:08:17need money for ministry.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: It is the God of heaven who made the friends
- 1:08:24of Job who left him to return back. In Job
- 1:08:26forty t one, verse ten, he was dejected and left
- 1:08:30there as though he did not have God.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: He lost everything in his life.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: The only person humanly speaking who was with him was
- 1:08:38his wife, and I'm sure she was tired. She said,
- 1:08:41will you not cause God and die? I can't leave
- 1:08:43you because I'm your wife.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: God helped me by dying so that at least I
- 1:08:47can have your life with my remaining days.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: And job said, all the days of my appointed time,
- 1:08:52he says, I will wait. Waiting is the hardiest thing
- 1:08:56for a believer to do. Listen to my teaching.
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: When God is silent, I told you that the silence
- 1:09:01of God is a language. You need to know what
- 1:09:04God is saying when he's not speaking for someone.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: When God is silent, he means keep pressing. You are
- 1:09:15making the right decision. Don't change your mind, keep.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Pressing, keep praying, keep serving.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: You are serving in the house of God. And they
- 1:09:22look at you. They'll say, you keep getting old. No
- 1:09:25man will come and marry you the same way it
- 1:09:27happened to your mother.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: And you will feel stupid. Oh, you cannot do this.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: You keep doing that, you will be poor forever. And
- 1:09:37you sit down and feel stupid. And you think of
- 1:09:39your inno said mother, and your siblings. And where do
- 1:09:42I start from?
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: The god first principle? For as long as he sorts
- 1:09:49the Lord, the Bible says God made.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: Him to prosper. In John chapter fifteen, let's read from
- 1:09:57verse one to three. I like this said, I am
- 1:10:00the vine John fifteen one three. I am the true vine.
- 1:10:05In fact, it says, it says, and my father is
- 1:10:08the horsebandman. Follow carefully.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Verse too. Every branch in me that bear red.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Not fruit, I take away, And every branch that bear
- 1:10:17reed fruit he project that it may bring forth fruit.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Verse three.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: It says, now he are cleaned through the world which
- 1:10:25I have spoken on to you. Let's even continue the reading.
- 1:10:27Verse four, it says, abiding me, I like this. It's
- 1:10:32called the law of abiding, abiding me. Don't just visit me.
- 1:10:37Abide in me and I in you. As the branch
- 1:10:42cannot bear fruit of itself. How many of you have
- 1:10:45seen a leaf with mango or orange on it, just
- 1:10:48a leaf danglean in the air.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: You know that that is witchcraft trying to attack you,
- 1:10:53because it does not happen that way?
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: Is that true?
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Behind everywhere you see fruits all are there is a
- 1:11:01tree connected to the root, the root, the vine, the branches, tan,
- 1:11:07the leaves, and the foot. So Jesus is saying here
- 1:11:09that the same way a branch cannot be a foot
- 1:11:14of itself. Accept it, Abide in the vine. It says,
- 1:11:18no more, can ye accept you abide in me, never
- 1:11:22forget Verse five, For as long as you live, let's
- 1:11:24read together it says, I am the viney are the
- 1:11:28branches he that abided in me, and I in him
- 1:11:33the same bring get fourth much fruit.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: The last verse for without me, ye.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Can do nothing, or without me, ye can do nothing
- 1:11:46the god first principle In the beginning, God Father, I'm
- 1:11:52about to start this business. And even though I think
- 1:11:55I know what I'm doing, what I come to you.
- 1:11:56You are the wisdom of God, spirit of the Living God.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: You were sent to help me.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: Except you help me, there is no guarantee that I
- 1:12:04will prosper. Oh, someone said you would give me a job. Lord,
- 1:12:09thank you, because you use men. But it comes through men,
- 1:12:12not from men. It comes from God. So if God
- 1:12:15has not released anything, any man who claims to want
- 1:12:18to give you anything is only causing.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Trouble for you. And God says, because you have trusted me.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: It says there that trusting the Lord shall be as
- 1:12:27mount Zion that abide it forever.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: And it's not shaken.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Let me tell you the truth this ministry that you
- 1:12:35see there is nothing necessarily special in us, our sufficiencies
- 1:12:41of God, the one we have chosen to be head
- 1:12:45over this ministry.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Many of you come from homes where, if you remember,
- 1:12:50there was a placard that used to be in our homes.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Christ is the head of this home. Remember, the unseen
- 1:12:59guest every meal, the silent listener to every conversation. There
- 1:13:06was a placard that used to reign like that as
- 1:13:08children they're hungry there. So that if you ever forget,
- 1:13:12you will remember that the head of this woman is
- 1:13:15not the Father. The head of this woman is Christ.
- 1:13:19That every home must be a triangle, Christ.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: Being the upper part, then the Father and the mother.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: If it is ever a straight line, a straight line
- 1:13:28cannot spread itself around it is the presence of Christ.
- 1:13:33And the more they rise towards Christ, the more you
- 1:13:37see that shape beautifully represented. Christ is the head of
- 1:13:42this home, the unseen guest at every meal, the silent
- 1:13:47listener to every conversation. It is my prayer, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:13:56as you listen to me, that you will make a
- 1:13:59determination with your life tonight, that this mundane pursuit of
- 1:14:03trying to live.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: My life without Christ. Hear me. Dear Peter, you.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: May have heard me say it. There are times you
- 1:14:11can go to the sea. The sea is the correct
- 1:14:14place if you want to catch fish. There are times
- 1:14:17you can have the net. The net is the correct
- 1:14:19tool if you want to catch fish. There are times
- 1:14:22you can have the skill and even the experience, and
- 1:14:26yet strangely you will still not catch fish. Everything right, education, right,
- 1:14:32connection right, recommendations right, and.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: Mysteriously, your life will still remain like that. That is
- 1:14:41where God comes. The size of God cannot be filled
- 1:14:44with It cannot be replaced with.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Anything anything Forever, as long as I live, and as
- 1:14:52long as this ministry leaves, the head of this ministry
- 1:14:55remains Jesus Christ, the wisdom behind everything that you see.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: It was right here.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: We started with the foolishness and the simplicity of following him.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: And look what he's doing now. And this is only
- 1:15:10a step out of the cave compared to the things
- 1:15:13that he's doing.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: For the Bible says, the path of the just is
- 1:15:17as a shining light. I'm saying this because someone's seated here.
- 1:15:21A few years from now, you will return back to
- 1:15:23this place and stand on this podium with tears in
- 1:15:26your eyes. You say, I remember I came in as
- 1:15:30that villager from somewhere and while people were laughing at me,
- 1:15:33I heard a preacher say this and I chose to listen.
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: At that point, you will be songs of praise that
- 1:15:42would just feel your heart. Yeah. Bo dargazoogi Yeah.
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: Yeah Bo Doug gazu cheer, Yeah, dog gas cheer. I
- 1:16:08usually use this story to share with a Bucher family
- 1:16:11that many years ago, when I'll be traveling to Abuja,
- 1:16:17when I got to the park, that would stop me
- 1:16:20somewhere and then when I come out of the car,
- 1:16:22there was one small restaurant connected to a filling station
- 1:16:25there now is destroyed.
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: That was the.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: Restaurant that was like my joint. I'll go to it
- 1:16:32because the food was delicious and it was cheap. I
- 1:16:35was not ready to go and embarrass myself anywhere. And
- 1:16:38it was messy that made me find that place. I
- 1:16:41don't know what kind of grades made that woman to
- 1:16:43sell such delicious meal at such a cheap price. And
- 1:16:48I remember I would eat and then just get to
- 1:16:50up stretch myself and then begin my activities. So one time,
- 1:16:55I think it was last year, we're graduating a school
- 1:16:58of ministry students and I needed to have a quick
- 1:17:01snapshot with them, and so they were passing me there.
- 1:17:04And when I passed, I looked at that place. Now
- 1:17:06it was demolished, but I still remember the bank that
- 1:17:09was in front.
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: I sat down. When I nodded my head, I said,
- 1:17:13this God, this God.
- 1:17:16Speaker 14: I will worship him forever, love forever because this guy.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: As I was passing today after our leader's meeting, I passed,
- 1:17:32and I remember one place where we used to buy corn.
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: I used to tease the.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Woman and call her little daughter my wife. Oh I'm
- 1:17:40sure maybe who knows, maybe the girl.
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: Is even married. Now I went together happily.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: The woman would sit down. I had various joins for corn,
- 1:17:53various You know, Jesus had corn, so if you love Jesus,
- 1:18:01you can test it with your person for corn, Alan Lujah,
- 1:18:08various places, and I smiled. If I had seen her there,
- 1:18:15I would have probably stopped and said, look, give me corne.
- 1:18:17Don't shout. And it just passed me in the corn
- 1:18:20and let me be on my way. Don't run away
- 1:18:24from your today. You will miss what you are rushing.
- 1:18:28Listen to what I'm telling you.
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: Don't be in a hurry. Don't hate your today so
- 1:18:33much you want to run out of it.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Move with galancy because what looks like a symbol of
- 1:18:40shame today will become your scar of honor when we
- 1:18:43get to heaven. It's not crowns that we used to
- 1:18:46know who Jesus is, because even the elders have crowns.
- 1:18:50All you need to do is to tell everybody to
- 1:18:52lift your hands. The one who has the scar is
- 1:18:55the Christ. He's the only one who has that kind
- 1:18:58of scar. So what you are ashamed of today will
- 1:19:03become your badge of honor tomorrow.
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: Are we together now? Don't rush life.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: There is no point living a fake life trying to
- 1:19:10make it look like I've arrived now. The world of
- 1:19:13God has already secured you. Move with honor and galancy
- 1:19:17and you will.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: Step in there.
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: Someone say the god first principle. Let me give you
- 1:19:22the second one, and then we'll pray. Are you learning now?
- 1:19:27And thou shalt make your ways prosperous? And thou shalt
- 1:19:31have good success. The second principle it's called the law
- 1:19:38of mental transformation. Please write it down. There are many
- 1:19:41of these laws, but I'll just give us two for
- 1:19:44this night, and then we'll pray. The second law that
- 1:19:47is responsible for an excelling life is the law of
- 1:19:51mental transformation.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: Goodness, I wish I had time to deal with this subject.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: It never tires me teaching on it because of the
- 1:20:02power and the excellency of this topic.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: Mental transformation. Please look up.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Your mind is a miracle that God gave you that
- 1:20:12is connected to your success and connected to your destiny.
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: Again to balance it up, there.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: Are many believers that are not open towards mental transformation.
- 1:20:22Haven't exalted the issue of spirituality. Most people are bankrupt mentally.
- 1:20:31And when I talk about mental transformation, it is beyond
- 1:20:36secular enlightenment. You can be knowledgeable in a field, but
- 1:20:40not knowledgeable or holistically as touching the laws of life.
- 1:20:44There are many intelligent people who are learned, but when
- 1:20:47it comes to understanding the cosmos, they do not have
- 1:20:51that understanding.
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: Are we together? Mental transformation?
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: In Corinthians chapter ten, I believe from verse four please
- 1:21:04give it to us. Second Corinthians, chapter ten, here's what
- 1:21:08it says. For the weapons of our warfare. It says,
- 1:21:12and not Canal but Mighty through God, to.
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: The pulling down of strongholds, then it.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Says, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts
- 1:21:24itself aboth the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
- 1:21:30every thought to the obedience of Christ. When it has
- 1:21:36to do with your success and your destiny, the following
- 1:21:41truths stand right. Please, The quality of a man's life
- 1:21:48is tied to his mindset. The quality of a man's life,
- 1:21:55the quality of a man's life is tied to his
- 1:21:59mind set. Mindset define our limits and our possibilities in life.
- 1:22:10I wrote here mindsets define our limits and they define
- 1:22:16our possibilities in life.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: This is very true, and this is very powerful.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: The Bible says to guard your heart, interchange for mind
- 1:22:26with all diligence. It says, for out of it, from
- 1:22:30out of it proceeds the issues of life. The quality
- 1:22:36of your life and my life depends on your mindset. Listen,
- 1:22:42I don't want to start boring you with all the discussions.
- 1:22:45We've done quite some extensive discussions as touching mindsets here,
- 1:22:50But then it's important to just maybe by way of
- 1:22:53a recap, remind you that a mindset is a sustained
- 1:23:01thinking pattern. If you're writing, you may want to write,
- 1:23:04please that a mindset is a sustained thinking pattern. A
- 1:23:10sustained thinking pattern, a mindset is an ideology.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: A mindset is a viewpoint.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: Like we used to do in fine arts, they taught
- 1:23:25something called perspective. Now, if someone were outside and you
- 1:23:29were asked to draw this entire, not just the auditorium,
- 1:23:33but just draw this whole perspective, those at overflow three
- 1:23:37may not be captured in his representation because of the
- 1:23:41limitation of his view.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: This is what mindset is. Mindset is the lens and
- 1:23:46the vista from which you view life.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: This is very important. Your mindset is the lens. It
- 1:23:52is the vista from which you view life, your perceptions. Allelujah.
- 1:24:01And I did teach you when we did discussions on
- 1:24:04mindset that a stronghold is a faulty mindset that has
- 1:24:11been fortified by the presence of demon spirits to keep
- 1:24:15the victim thinking that way. Let me repeat myself for
- 1:24:18emphasis that a stronghold is a faulty thinking pattern that
- 1:24:24has been fortified by the presence of demons spirits to
- 1:24:29keep the victim thinking that way.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Allelujah, Are we together.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: According to the Bible, and of course, the intelligence of
- 1:24:43veterans who have studied subjects.
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: Relating to this, they.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Teach us that they're essentially about five ways that mindsets
- 1:24:53are formed. Let me run it through, just for the
- 1:24:55sake of those who would be encountering this knowledge for
- 1:24:59the first time. Number one, the first way mindsets are
- 1:25:02formed through our cultural experiences. You may want to write
- 1:25:06that as fast as you can our cultural experiences. In
- 1:25:10social studies, we define culture as the way of life
- 1:25:14of a people away together now, So chances are excellent
- 1:25:17that if you grew up sociologically speaking, seeing people behave
- 1:25:22in a certain way, seeing people respond to life in
- 1:25:25a certain way, that becomes the natural way that you
- 1:25:29respond to life.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: Hallelujah, culture, cultural influences.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: I will always observe that there are positive sides to culture,
- 1:25:41sides that emphasize morality, excellence, respect.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: Empathy, and all these kinds of things.
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: But there are also negative satanic aspects of culture that
- 1:25:53if you do not edit out of your life, they
- 1:25:55will stop you from attaining a glorious destiny.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: One of the reasons why Zechariah became dumb was because
- 1:26:04he wanted to fight a new order that God was
- 1:26:07bringing When he gave him a word, and that he
- 1:26:09was going to be John. He shot his mouth so
- 1:26:12that he will not use his mouth, which is a
- 1:26:14reflection of his mindset to destroy something, pressures that God
- 1:26:18was doing compromising on John's destiny would eventually affect the
- 1:26:23arrival of Jesus away together.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: So he shot his mouth until he.
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: Agreed in writing that even though no one had been
- 1:26:32called that name through the family line, that this was
- 1:26:36truly what God was doing, and his mouth opened. Culture
- 1:26:40is very important, but there are many people today who
- 1:26:43are failures thanks to culture.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: There are many aspects of culture, especially within an African context,
- 1:26:52that end DOS's mediocrity.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: And DOSses all kinds of things. We find solace.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: There is a very a very strong consolation that a
- 1:27:03lot of people receive, especially and respectfully so we who
- 1:27:08have come from the Middle Belt because of the evangelical context, right,
- 1:27:14our emphasis has always been on evangelism, soul winning and
- 1:27:18then our eventual transition to heaven. And that is true
- 1:27:21and profitable, except that the Gospel, when it came from
- 1:27:25those who it came from, thanks to them, they did
- 1:27:28not communicate the whole counsel of God. And so aspects
- 1:27:32that make for an excelling life. Responsibility and other dimensions
- 1:27:37were not captured. So many people were well intentioned, loving God,
- 1:27:41but became irresponsible for us irrespondance to society.
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: And then you go to other regions and the emphasis
- 1:27:52is on success and making it regardless your stand with God.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: Culture, if not money, can be the foundation of a
- 1:28:02man's destruction.
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: Number two, very quickly, our past experiences. Our past experiences
- 1:28:11are very important. They can mold our mindsets. There are
- 1:28:16some of us who have filled so many times that
- 1:28:19subjects that talk about favor is far from your life
- 1:28:23because in your mind it is wrong to ever attain
- 1:28:26anything early. And let me tell you this is still
- 1:28:28a spirit that we have to trust God to take
- 1:28:31away from Africa. By the time you see a young
- 1:28:34man in his twenties suddenly excelling even with the dignity
- 1:28:38of kingdom integrity, people begin to frown and say, no,
- 1:28:41it should not be that way. In other words, you
- 1:28:43are too young to be attaining this kind of result.
- 1:28:48Are well Together. You go to nations like China and
- 1:28:51you see little children with witty inventions, I mean, taking
- 1:28:56over the world, redefining civilizations because they are culture does
- 1:29:01not seem to put anything on age. Your creativity and
- 1:29:05your value is what gives you access. Doesn't matter whether
- 1:29:08you're a baby. And of course there are other negative aspects.
- 1:29:11There is a heritage we have in Africa and around
- 1:29:14respect and the rest, like I said earlier on, that
- 1:29:17must be preserved. But with respect to success, the average
- 1:29:21person in Africa and Nigeria who wants to rise, your
- 1:29:25first assignment is to break through the limiting beliefs and
- 1:29:29sometimes you may not even have the energy to continue.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: If you do.
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: Survive, Allelujah. Our past experiences number three. Our family backgrounds.
- 1:29:43Our family backgrounds, the kind of family that you come from,
- 1:29:47can affect your overall perception about God. Respectfully speaking, if
- 1:29:52you come from a family where your father was not
- 1:29:54attentive to spiritual things, you never saw your family observing devotions.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: They were careless and less as fair.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: As far as the things of God is concerned, is
- 1:30:03the same thing you will reproduce as a father, except.
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: God shows you messy. Are we together now? Yes? Listen.
- 1:30:12Every national problem was first a regional problem that was
- 1:30:18not solved. Every regional problem was first.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: A community problem that was not solved, And every community
- 1:30:27problem was a family problem that was not solved. The
- 1:30:31unit of all troubles is family. The unit of all
- 1:30:35excellence is still family. Are we together? There are people today,
- 1:30:40no matter how perverted they become, there was a healthy
- 1:30:45godly foundation.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: There is a way.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: They cannot deviate beyond a certain point. The foundation of
- 1:30:53Godliness is too strong. Their conscience will not allow them
- 1:30:57go that far away together. Yes, if you come from
- 1:31:03a family where you are the first selous Christian out
- 1:31:06of seventeen people, chances are excellent that if God does
- 1:31:10not help you by bringing other godly people to stand,
- 1:31:13you may not last. Because even in your back sleading state,
- 1:31:16you'll still be better than.
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: Everybody who is there.
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: Family background, Can I give us two more? Your association?
- 1:31:29Your association is a very very serious molder of your
- 1:31:36mindset your association. There are many of us who were
- 1:31:40good and responsible people until certain relationships were introduced in
- 1:31:44your life. And listen when it has to do with
- 1:31:49the influence of association. There is no age limit. There
- 1:31:53are people who did well in their lives, respectfully speaking,
- 1:31:58even down to adulthood, but just when they were about
- 1:32:01culminating their lives, the devil introduced satanic, demonic relationships into
- 1:32:07their lives that just destroyed them. Our world is full
- 1:32:10of such people. Are we together now, yes? Or the
- 1:32:14woman was doing well loving the Lord, except that she
- 1:32:18now traveled abroad, or traveled somewhere and met a group
- 1:32:21of atheists, and now you do not even know whether
- 1:32:24she's on fire again. That's why the Bible says, blessed
- 1:32:28is the man who does not work in the counsel
- 1:32:30of the young godly, nor stands in the way of sinners,
- 1:32:32nor sitting the seat of the scornful. The Bible says,
- 1:32:35but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
- 1:32:38and that on that Lord got he meditated day and night.
- 1:32:41That he will be like a treat that is planted
- 1:32:44by the streams of water, which yields his fruit in season.
- 1:32:48And the Bible says, who's lived does not wither, but
- 1:32:51whatsoever he doeth prospers.
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: There you find prosperity again. Are we together?
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: You must be able to and did your association. There's
- 1:33:02no such thing like we're born from the same village.
- 1:33:05If your association and your friends do not hold your values,
- 1:33:10it's time to respectfully summon the courage to.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: Start editing people. Love is a command, association is not.
- 1:33:19Are we together?
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: When it was time for God to use Abraham mightily,
- 1:33:26he told him, come out of your father's.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: House, out of every tribe kindred.
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: Do you know why, because sometimes your own people love
- 1:33:34you too much to allow you be great. They know
- 1:33:38the risk that you are taken by being great, and
- 1:33:41they can love you too much to allow you rise.
- 1:33:45Now watch this when it has to do with the mind.
- 1:33:49Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me. I have taught it
- 1:33:52several times well when Zari are here that I don't
- 1:33:55care what changes in your physical environment. If your mind
- 1:34:00set does not change, if you try to change anything
- 1:34:03from the exterior, please look up, you are only wasting
- 1:34:06your time.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: Imagine with me a person who stands in front of
- 1:34:12the mirror, your dressing mirror. Now, and if you see
- 1:34:16a thread on your head, do you put your hand
- 1:34:18in the mirror to remove it?
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: What do you do? You remove it?
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: Here, and the guy in the mirror also does the
- 1:34:24same thing. It will be foolish to try to put
- 1:34:26your hand through the mirror to remove the thread. So
- 1:34:29if you find something wrong, your physical environment will always
- 1:34:33be a messless reflection of your mindset and your ideologies. Apostle,
- 1:34:39I don't know why I don't Nobody seems to like me.
- 1:34:42Everybody runs away from me. When the problem is everybody,
- 1:34:45The problem is you. Everybody cannot be wrong, and everybody
- 1:34:51cannot be a devil. Everybody cannot be a fool. The
- 1:34:54problem is you. Psychologists teach us that you attract to
- 1:34:58your life the physical equivalent of your most dominant thoughts.
- 1:35:02The resultant effect of your mindset is what you will
- 1:35:05attract the physical environment. Why am I attracting wicked and
- 1:35:10devilish and negative people. It may be that there is
- 1:35:13a mental construct you have of sarcasm, of laughing at people,
- 1:35:18rejoicing over the pain of others, and there is an energy.
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: Let me tell you the truth. There is an energy
- 1:35:24that your mindset.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: Releases that can attract all kinds of negative people to
- 1:35:30your life. The Bible says he that one's friends must
- 1:35:34show himself friendly.
- 1:35:35Speaker 9: Is that true?
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: Yes, it says a merry heart.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: Do it good like medicine. But they say a companion
- 1:35:42or fools shall be destroyed.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: I told you again about association, that if there are
- 1:35:47five wise people in your life.
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: You did not count well, there are actually six. If
- 1:35:52there are five foolish people in your life, you also
- 1:35:55did not count well. There are actually six, because you
- 1:35:58will always be a reflection of your association.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: Are we together? Yes?
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Now here is the tragedy in our world? We're about
- 1:36:09to pray. The tragedy in our world is that we
- 1:36:14are obsessed with trying to change the physical things around us.
- 1:36:18So let me wear a nice cloth, wear a nice shoe,
- 1:36:22probably drive a nice car away together and have a
- 1:36:26physical expression of success, whereas my mind is still the
- 1:36:30old knee. Can I tell you, no matter what you
- 1:36:33try to change physically, this is one of the iron
- 1:36:37cloud rules when it has to do with good success.
- 1:36:42You can move from one room into a great house.
- 1:36:46If your mindset is still in one room, that house
- 1:36:49will bring you back. I assure you it is a law.
- 1:36:54Nothing in your life changes until you change. Friends can
- 1:36:59change to still be the same, geography can change. Your
- 1:37:04result will still be the same. Have you seen people
- 1:37:06who traveled abroad and spend decades They are only to
- 1:37:09return back still looking like their past. Because your exterior
- 1:37:14is not what changes you.
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: Are we together? So the Bible says it this way.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: He said, let this mind be in you Philippians, chapter
- 1:37:21two and verse five, which was also in Christ Jesus.
- 1:37:25Jesus did not just excel for nothing. There was a
- 1:37:28mental construct. There was a thinking. Are we together now? Gentlemen?
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: Two of you, please come very quickly. Let me use you.
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: Now watch this very carefully. I like to teach graphically.
- 1:37:42Just stand here facing me. I'm glad one is wearing white.
- 1:37:46Just can't turn around facing me.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: Now watch this.
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: I want you to tell me which of these two
- 1:37:54you will most likely help. Okay, so this gentleman, you're
- 1:37:57a respectful person. When you see me, you bow and
- 1:38:00great and act very wisely. Thank god you are bigger
- 1:38:02than him. This guy is helping me act my drama
- 1:38:05very well. Away together, when you see me, just push
- 1:38:07me and pass me. And two of you are looking
- 1:38:09for help. Are we together?
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: By push? Don't worry, it's not any's there's no cause
- 1:38:16that is coming. I did say, push me and follow me.
- 1:38:18Speaker 9: Just there.
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: Okay, just move like you didn't see me before you
- 1:38:21push me down. Now are we together?
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: Now? Watch this?
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: These are two gentlemen. Let's even assume they were born
- 1:38:29on the same day. In fact, call them twins.
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: This guy for whatever reason, either because of his submission
- 1:38:36to a man of God who has cultural is understanding
- 1:38:39and his mindset. Are we together?
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: And this guy, let's assume he went to one school
- 1:38:43somewhere and then eventually this is what he has become.
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: Now are we together?
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: Now? These guys are looking for favor. They are trusting
- 1:38:51God for breakthrough. In fact, call both of them Christians.
- 1:38:54Let's assume they're saved. Now, this guy comes to me, complie,
- 1:38:59and you see from his mindset he has learned the
- 1:39:02value of respect. He's learned the value of honor. This
- 1:39:05guy may not even know much, but just for practicing honor.
- 1:39:09He sees an elderly person's greeting the person, you don't just.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: Walk and say, what is there is? If he did
- 1:39:13in me, it's in my father.
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: You have been taught that life works on the principle
- 1:39:18of see time and has so the person does not
- 1:39:21have to be your biological father. You may push the
- 1:39:24man because Babbie is old, and he looks at you
- 1:39:27and says, may your children do the same for you?
- 1:39:29You will say it does not matter until your first
- 1:39:31born shows you. And then your second born adds to it,
- 1:39:34then your third born adds to it, and then the
- 1:39:36Lord will remind you one day that as long as
- 1:39:39the earth remains, see time and harvest. Now you will
- 1:39:43wonder why this guy seems to be well caltured. The
- 1:39:46fact that he already has as a mindset the law
- 1:39:49of seed time and has makes.
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: Him know that laws are vicious warriors. Laws fight more
- 1:39:55than men. Are we together? So he comes to me,
- 1:40:03how are you fine?
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: And he's greeting me, and you see, because of that
- 1:40:07from his mindset, he's acting out his mindset. I will
- 1:40:11most likely be endear to him. Or what are you
- 1:40:14doing now?
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: Well, I'm trusting God for a job somewhere, or really
- 1:40:19you don't have a job. Where is your dad now?
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: Oh?
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: Sadly he's passed on. Now, you see, it is easy
- 1:40:25for the Holy Spirit to.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: Drive me to help this man, because already his mental
- 1:40:30preparation is already supporting what he wants. I will most
- 1:40:34likely tell him, okay, come and see me tomorrow. Now,
- 1:40:37our man, come and pass me. I used to be
- 1:40:41friends with his father, and now he has passed me.
- 1:40:43Like this In this example, you can see he's now
- 1:40:46moving and he does not care. Then let's imagine that
- 1:40:49where he's going to the CEO. Now you open the
- 1:40:52door and see me seated, and I stand up. I say,
- 1:40:55my friend, are you not the one who passed me?
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: There? Yes?
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: And he's doing all this funny things. We're doing our
- 1:41:00generation pride for nothing. So what are you looking for
- 1:41:04a job? I says, all right, you hear from us.
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: You can go. And now we'll end up saying no
- 1:41:11the devil and this guy will go home. And he's
- 1:41:14praying and saying, Lord, why is it that all my
- 1:41:17friends run away from me? Am I that bad? No?
- 1:41:20This is what is wrong?
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: Listen, another example, stand facing me. Let's assume that this
- 1:41:29guy I will use one more example, and then I'll.
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: Give you a big old don't worry, you're a nice person.
- 1:41:35Watch this.
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: Let's assume that this guy says an umb robber, and
- 1:41:40let's is you are not the one I'm talking about.
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: Let's assume this one is a pastor. Are we together?
- 1:41:47Watch this?
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: So this guy carries a gun, watch this place and
- 1:41:52is jumping from house to house, killing people, destroying all
- 1:41:56kinds of things, sometimes killing somebody just for few thousand
- 1:42:01because in his mind, fifty thousand is greater than.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: That life that has died. Are we together? Now? Watch this?
- 1:42:08Whereas this one is a pastor, loving people, healing the
- 1:42:11broken hearted.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: If two of them drop dead here you see, you
- 1:42:18don't call this a pastor dead body. You don't call
- 1:42:21this an umbrober dead body. You call both of them
- 1:42:24dead bodies. So who was really the pastor the mindset,
- 1:42:29not the body? Who was really the umbroba the mindset
- 1:42:33not the dead body? Now let's assume this Our man
- 1:42:37now comes for Coinonia, and suddenly the fire of God
- 1:42:41falls upon him, and after two years now he becomes
- 1:42:45a past or.
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: Two Are we together? Now?
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: You see the same person wh would have beat the
- 1:42:50living daylight out of you, Now he loves you respectful.
- 1:42:54He's greeting you. What change not his body? What change
- 1:43:00you spend six years in school? I said, doctor, did
- 1:43:02they change your body? What did they change?
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: Listen? Listen.
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: If you touch your pocket and it's empty, don't blame
- 1:43:16your pocket, don't even blame your hand. They are all reportcats.
- 1:43:20They're telling you something is wrong with your mind. Are
- 1:43:23we together now?
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: Now?
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: I can take Let me use money for example, because
- 1:43:30people seem to understand this.
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: Is one thousand nerra. Watch this.
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: If I give this gentleman one thousand nerra and his
- 1:43:38mindset has not been trained to receive this, his mindset
- 1:43:41will compel him to acting ways that must make this
- 1:43:44money leave him. Have you seen people like that. It's
- 1:43:48a way to give them anything physical the mindset. There
- 1:43:51are people who may not even have money. But you
- 1:43:54give him hundred thousand, you know what you will do.
- 1:43:56He will get a car to car Dona and go
- 1:43:58to a boutique and buy a suit. The one hundred
- 1:44:00thousand is what he has roman abroad, he will buy
- 1:44:03a suit ninety thousand and snap with it and that's it.
- 1:44:06And while he enters the boss coming back, they will
- 1:44:09steal it. Listen, listen away together for somebody who may
- 1:44:22just start working and God just.
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: Opens the door.
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: The uncle says, well, let me just give you one million,
- 1:44:28and the guy says, I've suffered. He made one collect
- 1:44:30a loan of five million and buy a cow four
- 1:44:32point five And then while he's driving, the first person
- 1:44:37the cow will hit is the convoy of a governor.
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: They will now say, come.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: Out and sit on the ground first, before you will
- 1:44:44sell this car and fix this one our last master,
- 1:44:48for it was borrowed. Why was he the only one
- 1:44:52who borrowed it? He was not the only one cut
- 1:44:55in the tree. What did the rest use?
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: Mindset?
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: Some of you right now you are wearing your future
- 1:45:02now because your mindset has taught you that. Except you
- 1:45:05look like that, and unfortunately respectfully so. There are many
- 1:45:11kinds of books and programs that keep culturing people you
- 1:45:14know can fake it till you make it. Or these
- 1:45:17things are not in the Bible, you would destroy your life.
- 1:45:21There are people with what God is doing in your
- 1:45:23life right now. If you had a healthy mindset, the
- 1:45:26blessing of God is enough at this level for you.
- 1:45:31My mom may not have much, but she's sending fifty thousand.
- 1:45:34You may not have a very may it may not
- 1:45:36be a good job, but at least fifty sixty thousand
- 1:45:40is coming every week.
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: What is that one?
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: If you cannot manage fifty thousand, you cannot manage five
- 1:45:47hundred thousand, You cannot manage five million, You cannot manage
- 1:45:51fifty million. God loves you too much to give you
- 1:45:55that kind of blessing when you have not say here
- 1:45:57that is faithful and little are we together? Now?
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: Someone else will be living off ten thousand. But you
- 1:46:03look at that.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Person and you would think the person is physically a
- 1:46:06multi millionaire because of priorities decorn. You will never come
- 1:46:10to that person's house and lack a good food. You
- 1:46:13will not see the person roaming around restaurants with ten thousand.
- 1:46:16They will go on honorably by Gary by Rise and
- 1:46:20learn how to cook.
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: The day you have money, you can do. You know
- 1:46:24I used to cook before.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: I can't will remember you put me with a pot.
- 1:46:32Now I will pray and caught everything. You have to
- 1:46:35first promise that you must eat whatever at the end
- 1:46:38of the meal.
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: Allelujah. So watch this.
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: This guy has a disposition that is very friendly. Every
- 1:46:51time people come to you. How are you when people
- 1:46:54have a problem, you are very attentive to them? Listen
- 1:46:57or are you okay?
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: Are you fine? Are you find out that everybody wants
- 1:47:01to come around him? Why? Because there is a mental
- 1:47:04disposition that is very friendly. Are we together?
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: But someone else will come with a very tangent mindset.
- 1:47:15The life's pan of friendship in your life is two weeks.
- 1:47:17You must say something that will backfire Eventually the friend
- 1:47:21comes and after laughing as they close the door, you
- 1:47:23will laugh as a look at this basiness you, how
- 1:47:25would this you? It's as if it's it's as if
- 1:47:27it's dart in Ira, and you you act like that,
- 1:47:30and God is watching, and men who are watching.
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: Now the day a gentleman wants to marry.
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: You, and he comes to seek counsel, and he says, sir,
- 1:47:38there somebody I'm looking at the friend who says who
- 1:47:41they No, God and me will love you too much.
- 1:47:44Your destiny's colored ful and is bright. You will never never.
- 1:47:48I will not allow this kind of thing. And you
- 1:47:49are wondering why are does close for me? It's someone
- 1:47:52learning now.
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: This is where it is.
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: Some of you are angry. The moment you get angry.
- 1:48:01The only person who calm you down is the Holy Spirit.
- 1:48:05You can literally carry bottle and hurt another person. We're
- 1:48:09all like that in our family. You either change or
- 1:48:12you will suffer. The bigger peal of Vur Latin Kingdom
- 1:48:15laws is someone learning. There is no body who is
- 1:48:19like that. The presence of the Holy Spirit in our
- 1:48:21lives should change us. There are some of you who
- 1:48:25are very sarcastic. If someone looks at you and say
- 1:48:27you're looking beautiful, you say, I know you.
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: You are always insulting who if you don't feel good
- 1:48:32about yourself.
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: The key is to listen to teachings that viuel you.
- 1:48:36But someone may be well intentioned, may be a very
- 1:48:39sincere gesture, but you are interpreting it from the lens.
- 1:48:43Do you know there are people who come to church
- 1:48:45and you see somebody looking in your direction and smiling.
- 1:48:48You know what the person is thinking about? How will
- 1:48:50I pay my rent? And you say the person is
- 1:48:51laughing at you. The person has enough problem. He just
- 1:48:56so happens. You know, you can be looking here, but
- 1:48:57you're not here. So this the landlord who threw me out.
- 1:49:01And you now see that and say you see how
- 1:49:03they are looking at me. Let me tell you the truth.
- 1:49:06People love you what they love themselves too. Don't make
- 1:49:09a mistake of flattering yourself that everybody is dedicating their
- 1:49:13time to just insult you.
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: People have enough trouble in their own lives. Are we together?
- 1:49:21There are some of you. You can go with five friends.
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: You will buy doughnut off of poth for three hundred mirah.
- 1:49:29Your friends are watching you. You will eat everything there
- 1:49:32and squeeze the letter and throw it in their presence
- 1:49:34and act like you didn't do anything. You know that
- 1:49:37message I possible bread her and they are watching you,
- 1:49:41and then you find out you will never have friends.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: Again in your life.
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: If someone learning saying the name of Jesus, please shout
- 1:49:48it saying the name of Jesus. I receive grace to
- 1:49:52contend for mental transformation. Listen, every person you see today
- 1:49:59that look admirable, I submit to you, they did not
- 1:50:02come like that by default. In Adam, all of us
- 1:50:06came by the falling nature. It's just that other people
- 1:50:10sat down and started making an intentional work on their lives.
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: Are we together? Mindsets?
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: I saw several mindsets in me growing up and even
- 1:50:21in ministry, and I said, no, no, no, I have
- 1:50:24to work on this mindset. Some of them are cultural,
- 1:50:26some of them came from all kinds of backgrounds. It's
- 1:50:29your assignment to work with the world of God. I
- 1:50:32always recall a very interesting story. Years ago, we went
- 1:50:35to hire instruments for a crusade. And when we went
- 1:50:39to hire instruments, it now led us.
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: To go to a church.
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: One Pentecostal church, and the man was preaching about the
- 1:50:44wealth of Solomon, you know, coming from our Orthodox backgrounds.
- 1:50:47So what is this guy saying like this? You meaning
- 1:50:49a whole service. You are just jumping and saying you'll
- 1:50:51be another Solomon. Well, we're begging for sounds. So we
- 1:50:57had to behave ourselves.
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: We said that.
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: After the grace, we now walked up to the man
- 1:51:02and said, we're young people, we have a cru said
- 1:51:04and we're begging for sound.
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: This man lambastard us and use any kind of evil
- 1:51:09word you can think about. I was just watching that
- 1:51:12guy way a few minutes ago, was preaching about Solomon's world,
- 1:51:17and this man now is not insulting.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: In essential, we do you hold a God? We do
- 1:51:20you hold anything? We came sincerely with our envelope with
- 1:51:24a letter to beg for sound. You would have just
- 1:51:27said go away. If I meet that man today, I
- 1:51:31will love him. I'll say, May God bless you? And
- 1:51:35how are you doing now? If that guy did not change,
- 1:51:40I didn't need to profess her about his life. I
- 1:51:43can't tell you what the result will be. That person
- 1:51:46could be.
- 1:51:46Speaker 4: You.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: You are driving everybody in your life today because of
- 1:51:49the little privilege you have, and they will come. Everybody
- 1:51:52you are driving, you see as you are praying in tones.
- 1:51:54They are praying to even with the torn trouser. They're
- 1:51:57praying to even with the two hundred marrag should you're
- 1:52:00praying to. Don't downplay what the spirit of God can
- 1:52:03do in the life of a man. Are we together now?
- 1:52:06Your assignment, ladies and gentlemen, is to focus on investing
- 1:52:10on your mind. One day, go better is a sociological
- 1:52:14way saying it does not carry any power.
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: Time does not change anything. Time only reveals are you
- 1:52:24learning as a preacher.
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: As an individual, there are many mindsets that you need
- 1:52:32to have.
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: One of them the chiefest. Let me give you two.
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: Can I give you two mindsets to incocage this night?
- 1:52:39Number one the mindset of honor. Number two the mindset
- 1:52:43of gratitude.
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: Write this down.
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: With these two mindsets alone, I guarantee you, by the
- 1:52:49integrity of scripture, you will be more superior than many people.
- 1:52:54The mindset of honor and the mindset of gratitude. You
- 1:52:58can use this too, minds sets to recreate your world.
- 1:53:02I don't care what you currently meet it as. Write
- 1:53:05it down number one, the mindset of honor. Get my
- 1:53:08teach in the law of honor. Honor is the designing,
- 1:53:14honor is the celebrating, and honor is the rewarding of
- 1:53:18individuals for.
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: Their distinctive difference and the value that they bring.
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: When I came up here, I took out time to
- 1:53:26honor our parents, leaving their schedules and coming here to
- 1:53:30honor Connell. This is the CEO of the whole of Basaa.
- 1:53:33To honor all of these people. Now you come and
- 1:53:35tach me. Is both God and them that will deal
- 1:53:38with you. God is doing his own from heaven.
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: You know how the flood of Noah, Heaven gave his
- 1:53:43rain the d two add this or whoever was in the.
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: Middle, Are we together now? Honor many of you. God
- 1:53:53has allowed great people to pass by you. But simply
- 1:53:56because you do not have a mindset of honor, you
- 1:53:59take people for granted. You will go to the office
- 1:54:02of a man that you should never have gotten there
- 1:54:05except by the privilege of a relationship.
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: And as soon as you get there, you just see them.
- 1:54:10What do you want? What do you have?
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: You call it confidence? And they're watching you sinicitivly speaking,
- 1:54:15you and as you are living.
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: They said, let this guy never come around this secretariat again.
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: Of course, why is it that when good things are
- 1:54:22about to happen they go away? Demons only take advantage
- 1:54:26of the mindset that is there, and they build a
- 1:54:29stronghold around it.
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: So you keep traveling from place to place and recycling
- 1:54:33the same mistake.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: Please listen, and this is a deliverance service. God is
- 1:54:38showing someone the reason why does never seem to open?
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: Are wey together?
- 1:54:45Speaker 9: Try this?
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: Look for the top five people who have contributed immensely
- 1:54:51in your life. Send them a text message and say
- 1:54:54thank you. Start with your parents, mommy, just to say
- 1:54:58thank you. Of course you don't know my mother insulting
- 1:55:00me and calling me a which don't worry.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: She was just angry.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: Are you relate which who gave back to the witch?
- 1:55:05Then don't worry. Your mother is not a which you
- 1:55:08are not a which does? That is the purpose of maturity.
- 1:55:11You should know that they were just mismanaging the anger.
- 1:55:14But you send the text. Somebody helped you to pay
- 1:55:18your maybe school fees or something. Don't just send texts
- 1:55:24when you are now looking for help. Calgary greetings, and
- 1:55:27then two minutes later another text is coming, sir, do
- 1:55:30just let you know.
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: You know that the way this my life is at
- 1:55:33the first word. That's not the issue. Are we together?
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: Say amen, practice honor and practice gratitude and watch just
- 1:55:47with this two mindsets, What's what happens to you? Honor
- 1:55:53to God, honor to men. I'm giving it to you
- 1:55:57as an assignment this night. Send a text to someone
- 1:56:00and don't send this kind of text message.
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: That looks like an insult. I was told to send
- 1:56:05you a text by apostle. Thanks. Is that gratitude? Is
- 1:56:12that honor? Some of you are like that.
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: You can send text message is begging and then the
- 1:56:18person now gives you money and after three hours you
- 1:56:21just say thanks.
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: You don't even spell it. Well thanks. Does that sound
- 1:56:25like gratitude? You see?
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: The principle of the intention of gratitude is to make
- 1:56:30the giver perceive that you are grateful. It is your
- 1:56:33assignment to use every means godly means within your power.
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: Let me tell you the truth. You never will need
- 1:56:40to ask anything twice if you give thanks for the
- 1:56:43first one. Are we together? There are people who can
- 1:56:48be so they can be so grateful. You feeling tech
- 1:56:53to them. Even when you forget them, God will remind you. Allelujah.
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: One day I shared something for some little children, and
- 1:57:02after they had gone, I was busy doing something and
- 1:57:05then one of them, one tiny girl, just ran and
- 1:57:08came and I just saw somebody hugged me from behind,
- 1:57:11and I just thought, I said, who is this?
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: And she asked me to bring my ears down. She
- 1:57:15said she was telling me thank you again.
- 1:57:17Speaker 5: Ah.
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: I wanted to see her parents first. Who would have
- 1:57:20trained this kind of girl?
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: Eventually I told them to get the parents, and I said,
- 1:57:26whatever you take for this girl to rise to be great,
- 1:57:29may I hand do it? Now?
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: Watch this.
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: I'm not trying to brag. I'm trying to tell you
- 1:57:33that a child just said, dude, a season.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether the parents are interested in being
- 1:57:38prosperous or not. The child has bailed herself out. Are
- 1:57:43you seeing that now? How many people have passed your
- 1:57:47life who.
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: You can edge the memory of your honor to them
- 1:57:51and compel them to attend to your destiny? Mindsese is
- 1:57:57someone learning? How many times do you go to the
- 1:58:00Lord and say thank you, Father?
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: Thank you? Are the line of the tribe of Judah
- 1:58:05you are frown in the.
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: Root of David and as if you are just entering
- 1:58:08his gates with thanksgiving. And now that you are inside
- 1:58:10the gates, God, come out, or I'm in your gates now.
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: I've been warning you this and that and that.
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: Whereas there's somebody in the hospital stage two cancer and
- 1:58:21the person says, thank you Lord, that I'm even alive.
- 1:58:25I'm not asking you for anything and my life and
- 1:58:27God says, you do not know the value of life
- 1:58:29and health.
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: You are here harassing me and saying you are eating
- 1:58:32only rice every day. You need something more.
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: Whereas someone is about dying and saying, Lord, thank you
- 1:58:37that you are keeping me alive. Someone say thank you
- 1:58:41Jesus one more time, Say thank you Jesus. Oh No,
- 1:58:47and gratitude I thought I think it was in Abuja.
- 1:58:50And let me teach you if you've not gotten it.
- 1:58:53If you are in any kind of relationship and you
- 1:58:56don't have value, your contribution should be gratitude right down,
- 1:59:00I teach you a powerful secret.
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: If there is.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: Any kind of relationship you are part of, if you
- 1:59:06do not have what to offer in terms of value,
- 1:59:09let your offering be gratitude, practual gratitude, and you have
- 1:59:14made an e canno contribution to that relationship. Allelujah, thank you,
- 1:59:21Thank you daddy. I just want to say thank you,
- 1:59:24thank you for my school fish, thank you for everything.
- 1:59:27Ah what for I stopped paying your school fist fifteen
- 1:59:30years ago. I just took out time to reflect on
- 1:59:32your kindness. They may just laugh. Somebody with your employer.
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: I just came to say thank you, sir, whereas other
- 1:59:38people are insulting him.
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: This man is a wizard, his wife is a which
- 1:59:42wicked man. He's the only one eating the money while
- 1:59:45we're working. But he is the boss and it is
- 1:59:47his company.
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: And someone just.
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: Walks up to say, sir, I just held this little
- 1:59:52bottle of wine. May not be much, but just to
- 1:59:54sincerely appreciate you. In my time here, I have learned
- 1:59:57and I'm committed to improvement. Usual they will act like
- 2:00:00you did not enter them.
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: You just go.
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: When they are looking for those to promote. You will
- 2:00:05see the man fighting as if they charm him to
- 2:00:08retain you and to see that you rise. God loves everybody,
- 2:00:13but he does not trust everybody. Zaria, Please hear me.
- 2:00:20It is not the lack of money It is not
- 2:00:22the economic situation. It is something about your mindset. I
- 2:00:26have taught you that any door that opened before and
- 2:00:30now is closed, it is dishonor that has closed it.
- 2:00:34Never treat your lives people's value. Are we together now?
- 2:00:38Speaker 2: Yes.
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: When you see elderly people, respect them and greet them
- 2:00:43and honor them. When you see great people, don't pretend greatness.
- 2:00:47Don't push them away and say, after all, they are
- 2:00:50just lucky. That is the mindset of a defeated person.
- 2:00:53Already Are we together as I am today? There are
- 2:00:57people that are eternally worthy of my respect and my honor.
- 2:01:03I will never see them and not honor them. No,
- 2:01:08when I came in here and I saw her father,
- 2:01:10I got up and were laughing, and I was greeting him.
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: A person will not turn me into a stupid person.
- 2:01:17I want to live long, I want to live far.
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: And life is a product of seed time and harvest
- 2:01:23away together. There are some of you after the grace
- 2:01:25they say turn to somebody and just say hello for
- 2:01:27where I'm on my way going home, And you find
- 2:01:30out that you are going home alone. Everything you are
- 2:01:33doing it alone. Nobody cares about you, whether you are
- 2:01:36present or absent. You see if your presence, if your
- 2:01:40absence is not missed, it means that your presence is
- 2:01:43not adding anything. Whether you come for Coynonia or not,
- 2:01:48nobody knows, doesn't matter. And you've been coming for they
- 2:01:51will say, how many years have given me? I'm six
- 2:01:53years old in Connia and nobody knows you. Are you
- 2:01:56in any department. I don't join departments where I just
- 2:01:58come and receive and I'm on my we're going?
- 2:02:03Speaker 2: Are you learning mindset?
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: When I learned this principle, as simple as it sounds,
- 2:02:11it has opened listen. Second only to the law of encounter.
- 2:02:15This is the most powerful spiritual law that I've learned.
- 2:02:20The law of honor has come as a subset of this.
- 2:02:23I have indoctrinated myself to show honor and to communicate gratitude.
- 2:02:28These two things have opened me up to a world
- 2:02:31of possibilities beyond my wildest imagination.
- 2:02:37Speaker 11: Thank you.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Somebody said thank you for fifteen r and that thank
- 2:02:42you today has given him a house.
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: Somebody said thank you for a shoe, and that has
- 2:02:48given him all kinds of things.
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: You must learn to be grateful, be lavish in communicating
- 2:02:56gratitude to men and to God, and watch what begins
- 2:03:00things to happen in your life. You become puler and
- 2:03:02health saber. Don't just meet people and the first thing
- 2:03:05you are looking for needs give me. Let me give
- 2:03:08you a secret as we wrap up. Any time you
- 2:03:10see great people, minimize asking for things. Every man's need
- 2:03:16is his point of contact. I was teaching the leaders
- 2:03:18this morning, and if people do not need your money,
- 2:03:22they need your.
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: Reassurance, your courtesy. So I just want to thank you
- 2:03:27so much.
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: Do you know you would think that I haven't taught
- 2:03:30this thing for many years, I would be immune to
- 2:03:32it myself. I'm not talking of flattery. There are people
- 2:03:35who see me and Apostle, I'm so grateful. Usually when
- 2:03:38I'm passing, maybe at the airport, and people want to
- 2:03:40do all kinds of things, I'm greeting them and someone says, Apostle,
- 2:03:43your message has changed my life. I just want to
- 2:03:46say thank you, and I feel very endeared. Oh may
- 2:03:49God bless you come. God bless you, God bless you.
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: And you see a little child, how are you a
- 2:03:54little girl? God bless you? What are you doing? Madam? Well?
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: I'm trusting God for this and that simple thing can
- 2:04:01become the schedule.
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: Of a change of season.
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: Now, son of David, he said, have messy on me.
- 2:04:11He never called him, Jesus, you are royalty from the
- 2:04:15root of David.
- 2:04:16Speaker 2: Have messy on me. And Jesus looks at him and says,
- 2:04:20I'm busy. What I will attend to you?
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: Something about your communicating honor and desperation has.
- 2:04:26Speaker 11: Called for my attention. Oh, speak from the heavens, and
- 2:04:34well he Oh, speak from the heavens.
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: And now he from the.
- 2:04:44Speaker 10: Mild start. Oh, my world, chief is.
- 2:04:54Speaker 12: Sh My gratitude is.
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: When I finish meetings like this and I go home,
- 2:05:12you will think I would just go and balance. I
- 2:05:14smuggle myself into the room and go down my knees,
- 2:05:17and I say, Lord, Jesus, thank you. Some may trust
- 2:05:20in horses and chariots, but you are the reason why
- 2:05:23we have these results, including this night without fail. Lord,
- 2:05:27I thank you. Your child has come before you. They
- 2:05:31call me all kinds of.
- 2:05:32Speaker 2: Names, but I know who I am before you. I
- 2:05:34have come to return. Thanks.
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: You are the hand behind every result that we see.
- 2:05:39And God says, even at this level, you can do
- 2:05:41it for me. Let's measure a thousand cubits. You are
- 2:05:44ready for a new level. Some of you here, maybe
- 2:05:48business people, maybe ministry, maybe your career.
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: And you find out that you are plat two at
- 2:05:55a level. It may not be the.
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: Absence of skill. It may be the absence of all
- 2:06:00and the absence of gratitude. You can literally leave off gratitude.
- 2:06:06You can literally leave off honor. Believe me, you can
- 2:06:11spend your like they ask you what are you doing?
- 2:06:14I'm working in first bank, what are you doing? I'm
- 2:06:16working in abu And they ask you, what are you doing?
- 2:06:19You say, I'm a practitioner of honor and gratitude. You
- 2:06:22literally can use it as a stream of income.
- 2:06:28Speaker 4: Let the fire from your autertuch, let the fire from
- 2:06:38your aunt.
- 2:06:44Speaker 3: Let the fire from your aunt, Let the fire from you.
- 2:07:01Speaker 2: Have you learned something tonight?
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: If you've not learned anything from all that I've said,
- 2:07:08just pay attention to this that I said, God first
- 2:07:11is the secret to an excelling life.
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: God first, not God among not God later, not God
- 2:07:18as part of God first.
- 2:07:21Speaker 1: Number two, that the quality of your mindset is what
- 2:07:25defines the possibilities in your life. Listen, you will see
- 2:07:29doors open for you beyond your imagination.
- 2:07:32Speaker 2: If you can pay the price, can I tell you
- 2:07:34you may not have a job.
- 2:07:36Speaker 1: Use the time to read quality books that kingdom compliant,
- 2:07:40books that kill your mind.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: A person. I'm trusting God for a husband. I'm trusting
- 2:07:47God for a wife.
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: While you are trusting keep reading what works on your mindset,
- 2:07:51because if this version of you marries, you kill the man.
- 2:07:55Be working on that mindset. In the name of Jesus.
- 2:07:58Anger you must leave, in the name of Jesus. Wickedness
- 2:08:01you must leave, in the name of Jesus. Evil talking,
- 2:08:04talking like a parrot. In ten minutes, you have ready
- 2:08:08home book in somebody's years, Let it be out of
- 2:08:11my destiny. In the name of Jesus. I am ready
- 2:08:13for a great life, And God says, now you see.
- 2:08:16It is often said that when the student is truly ready,
- 2:08:20the teacher always comes.
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: I'm ready for prosperity, but I don't have money. I
- 2:08:28don't know anything about finances. Then learn honor and gratitude.
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: Start from there. Learn honor and gratitude. Go online principles
- 2:08:37of honor, listen to messages, and start praying gratitude. Get
- 2:08:42five people in your life who have made sincere contributions
- 2:08:46and send them a text, sir man, this is just
- 2:08:51to appreciate you.
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: I have the opportunity to attend the service this night,
- 2:08:56and I was challenged afresh again, and I thought of
- 2:09:00communicating what I've learned.
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: Thank you for all that you have been. Thank you
- 2:09:04for helping my children, thank you for helping my husband
- 2:09:08or my wife. This is simply saying thank you. After
- 2:09:12two days, you will get a text what is your name? Again?
- 2:09:18Speaker 1: I am so, so, so and so see me in
- 2:09:20my office tomorrow. And the person can say, I have
- 2:09:23been doing this for everyone, but nobody has done this.
- 2:09:26I showed my wife your text and she said, let
- 2:09:29us help this person.
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: And that's it.
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: Look, it is so easy to rise when you understand
- 2:09:35the power of kingdom systems.
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: Allelujah. Are you learning some of you? Even your biological parents,
- 2:09:47you have not shown them love, You have not shown
- 2:09:49them messy.
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: You don't care. After all, they're your parents. My mom
- 2:09:53may not be able to speak English, but she had
- 2:09:56to fry a character.
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: Send you to school.
- 2:09:58Speaker 1: Now that you have a job, just counting fifty thousand
- 2:10:01and giving her is not gratitude. That's responsibility, gratitude is
- 2:10:05one day you would draw the cheer and sit down
- 2:10:07with her there and say, Mama, I want to tell
- 2:10:09you something. I know that you say that I'm a
- 2:10:12big man today, but I want to say thank you.
- 2:10:14It was your sacrifice.
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: You went through so much to make this happen. And
- 2:10:19my mind is just crying there and say, my son,
- 2:10:21you are becoming a big man.
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: I don't have what to give you, but let me
- 2:10:24place my hand on my chest and let me bless you.
- 2:10:27May your children rise to be greater than you. You
- 2:10:30would just say amen, but it is recorded and archived
- 2:10:33in heaven. You give back to your child, and one
- 2:10:36wicked person wants to come and be friends to your children,
- 2:10:39that convenant to speak drive them far from you. Because
- 2:10:43Mama left a blessing.
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: And Alujah forever.
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: For as long as I live, I live a grateful life,
- 2:10:53a grateful life. When I came and got down out
- 2:10:55of the vehicle, I was just nodding my head and working.
- 2:10:58I was almost in tears looking at the faithfulness of God,
- 2:11:02the messes of God. Many of you have forgotten what
- 2:11:05God has done in your life too soon, because.
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: You are looking for something in front.
- 2:11:12Speaker 1: Learn to be grateful, carry that mindset, learn to practice honor.
- 2:11:16And you have scheduled the season of greatness. Let me
- 2:11:20recommend as an assignment, go and listen to all my
- 2:11:23teachings on mindsets. Go and look for them. Go on YouTube,
- 2:11:27look for them. Put it as a project. Sit down
- 2:11:31and listen. Don't assume, don't say I was there. Have
- 2:11:34your life changed. If the anside is.
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: No, go and listens into it. Pray you can't spend
- 2:11:42the day fasting and lock yourself. Lord, my destinyments change.
- 2:11:46I am the one you are raising in this family
- 2:11:48to wipe the tears of people. Father, I pray that
- 2:11:51you will use me as you. The world of God
- 2:11:53is coming. You are writing, Ah, God is show me
- 2:11:57what I'm doing wrong.
- 2:11:58Speaker 7: Now, Sun will no more give you sunlight by day.
- 2:12:06The moon will no more give your moon light by life.
- 2:12:12Shall will be your everlasting light. He will be your glory,
- 2:12:21your strength, and your signs. The light of the moon
- 2:12:27will be like the light of the sun, and the
- 2:12:31light of the sun will shine seven times, says the light.
- 2:12:36Speaker 1: Listen, you know why I erase this song the power
- 2:12:40of illumination. When your heart is since here, when you
- 2:12:43approach God with a meek hat, you are ready for light.
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: It to be an adventure of light. You will listen
- 2:12:50to a message you've been listening to every day, but
- 2:12:53your heart condition is what defines the light that comes
- 2:12:56from that message to you.
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: There are people who have all kinds of messages. This
- 2:13:00one I have it, but that your heart is not
- 2:13:02yet prepared to receive the light. So you will just
- 2:13:05listen to it attentively, but you.
- 2:13:08Speaker 2: Are not receiving anything.
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: Go back with a pouched hat and now listen, and
- 2:13:13you will find lights that will bring tears out of
- 2:13:15your eyes.
- 2:13:16Speaker 2: Man of God, hear me. Your destiny is waiting for you.
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: Everyone here listening, whether you are inside, all the overflows
- 2:13:25and those who.
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: Are following online. Make up your mind that this mindset
- 2:13:30thing I will work on it.
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: Don't say I am Eurober, don't say I am Ego,
- 2:13:35don't say I am Houser. I was saying it to
- 2:13:38our Budjet family. Here that comes from in the north
- 2:13:41is a northern. Here that comes from the south is
- 2:13:44a southern, and here that comes from the east is
- 2:13:46an eastern.
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: And here that comes from Europe is a European, and
- 2:13:50American and soon and so forth.
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: The Bible says, what he that comet from above is
- 2:13:56above all, so beyond your earthly geograph, think context. You
- 2:14:01must start having the mind of Christ, embrace the character,
- 2:14:07the traits of discipline, Embrace the traits of diligence, and most.
- 2:14:12Speaker 2: Importantly, honor and gratitude. And you have found the power keys.
- 2:14:20You don't need to know everything.
- 2:14:22Speaker 1: But the interesting thing is that the results begin to
- 2:14:25come even while you are growing.
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: Allelujah. I'm going to pray for.
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: You, but will all pray by ourselves, and then I'll
- 2:14:35speak over your life. And we're done for tonight.
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: Remember our text Joshua one, verse eight.
- 2:14:43Speaker 1: He says, and this book of the law shall not
- 2:14:45depart from out of your mouth, but thou shall meditate
- 2:14:48during day and night that dow mayors observe to do
- 2:14:53Joshua one and eight. You got it right, Go back
- 2:14:57one ege Joshua, he says, For then shall thou make
- 2:15:02thy ways prosperous and for God's.
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: Sake, and even as a prophecy for everyone.
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: Here it says thou shall have owed success, the kind
- 2:15:15of success that God increases you on all sides. And
- 2:15:19while that is happening. The joy of salvation is bubbling
- 2:15:22within your heart. Your life becomes a conduit of impact,
- 2:15:27not just accumulating money and accumulating relationships with no value.
- 2:15:33Speaker 2: Are you seeing that now?
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: Everything about your life becomes a blessing. Genesis twelfth and
- 2:15:41verse two and three, it says in thee shall all
- 2:15:45the families of the earth be blessed.
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: That's what I want to happen through my life.
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: My desire is not to be said, oh, this person
- 2:15:54is anointed, or has this and has that.
- 2:15:57Speaker 7: No.
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: No, that Jesus Christ was.
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: Review through my life, and that while revealing Jesus, you
- 2:16:03were able to impact the lives of people. Someone who say,
- 2:16:07Apostle is because of you, I had the privilege to
- 2:16:10go to school. Someone who says, because of you, I
- 2:16:12had the privilege to have a house, a roof over
- 2:16:15my head.
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: I was when I saw the picture of the outreach
- 2:16:19yesterday that was done.
- 2:16:22Speaker 1: I was so humbled looking at these widows and looking
- 2:16:25at these people and that which happened to them, and
- 2:16:27I was so inspired.
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: I said, this is how to leave. This is how
- 2:16:32to leave. It's not about driving cars and eating whatever.
- 2:16:35This is how to leave. It says, oh teachers, to
- 2:16:38number our days. The Bible says that we may apply
- 2:16:41our hearts onto wisdom.

- 2:26:17Speaker 2: And sometimes makes us look as if we're such a
- 2:26:19big deal.
- 2:26:20Speaker 1: We're not any big deal in ourselves, except that when
- 2:26:23you stand on these laws, you tame life like an animal.

- 2:28:16Speaker 2: Maybe a financial challenge, maybe you are.
- 2:28:19Speaker 1: In debt, you are owing, or there's something wrong and
- 2:28:23it looks like shame and reproach is imminent.
- 2:28:26Speaker 2: Every time you get into these kinds of trouble, it
- 2:28:29is the office of the prophetic that brings you out.
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: I decree and declare everything that looks like shame. I
- 2:28:36call upon the God of my covenant in the name

- 2:29:20we've spoken about good success.
- 2:29:22Speaker 2: Let me pray for you.
- 2:29:24Speaker 1: The Bible says it was the Lord that advanced Eron
- 2:29:28and Moses. They did not just go forward, they were
- 2:29:32advanced by God. He says, by you, I can run
- 2:29:35to a troop. By my God, I can leap over
- 2:29:38a war that a man can receive nothing, even financially.
- 2:29:43Because I know that many of us here right now.
- 2:29:46If I ask you to submit your prayer request, about
- 2:29:49seventy to eighty percent of it will be largely financial issues.
- 2:29:55Speaker 2: God is able to help men to bring you out
- 2:29:58of financial shame.
- 2:29:59Speaker 1: Let me speak over your life. It will always come
- 2:30:02from God through men to you. Therefore, in the name
- 2:30:06of Jesus, anyone crying for financial help, that God will
- 2:30:11hung and bail you out. I decline the name of Jesus,
- 2:30:14receive health, receive help. Let help us arise for you
- 2:30:20in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: In Jesus's name, we pray.
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: Let me make another call now, Please, no movement, no movement,
- 2:30:32whether inside or outside.
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: Just be patient. Allow me make an outer call.
- 2:30:36Speaker 1: Then I'll make a very important announcement about tomorrow, and
- 2:30:40we're done.
- 2:30:41Speaker 2: You need Jesus.
- 2:30:42Speaker 1: Every time we talk about Jesus, there are people who
- 2:30:44do not care. I hope tonight will be that night
- 2:30:48that you say, Jesus, I'm truly ready. You are here,
- 2:30:51so many people inside, all the overflows. It is never
- 2:30:55too late for as long as you have breath in
- 2:30:57your nostrils to make it right with Youesus. Perhaps you
- 2:31:01were invited to come here, or perhaps you have been
- 2:31:04here again and again. What you have never consciously made
- 2:31:08that decision. The Bible says, for God so loved the
- 2:31:11world that he gave his only begotten son. It says
- 2:31:15that whosoever that blessing is for, whosoever whosoever believeth on him,
- 2:31:21should not perish, but have life eternal. Verse seventeen says
- 2:31:25for God did not send his son into the world
- 2:31:27to condemn the world, but that the world might be.
- 2:31:30Speaker 2: Saved through him. You are here and you mean it
- 2:31:33with Jesus.
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: You are saying, Apostle, if you would give me a chance,
- 2:31:37I would make it right with Jesus. Or you are
- 2:31:39here and you are saying, Apostle, things from last year
- 2:31:43into this year. My life has not really been the
- 2:31:46way it should be. I have just fallen apart. My
- 2:31:49life has gone a wire. I need to put my
- 2:31:52life in order and make it right with Jesus. I'm
- 2:31:55going to call these two categories of people.
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: If you are in the main auditorium here, I'm going
- 2:32:01to request that you move forward.
- 2:32:03Speaker 1: We have a limited space here. And then all those
- 2:32:05who are outside, once the front is full, you may
- 2:32:08make use of your various LEDs. And for those who
- 2:32:12are following listening online, it is not too late to
- 2:32:15make Jesus rite to make things right with Jesus as
- 2:32:19fast your destiny is concerned. I'm just looking for one
- 2:32:22person who can say a person I'm not going to
- 2:32:24lie to myself.
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: I really need Jesus.
- 2:32:27Speaker 1: I'm going to count one to five, whether you are
- 2:32:29inside or outside. Once the front is full here, then
- 2:32:34you can come outside.
- 2:32:36Speaker 2: You can begin to come one. Celebrate them as they
- 2:32:41come Jeezus, the Son of God. I believe, Cary not
- 2:32:54you celebrate them as they come to Jesus, the.
- 2:33:03Speaker 12: Time Timesus, the sun of car.
- 2:33:20Speaker 2: I believe you.
- 2:33:28Speaker 1: Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it is a
- 2:33:30glorious thing to see people come to Jesus sincerely. The
- 2:33:34Bible declares that as many who will come to him,
- 2:33:37he says, he will in no wise cast away this
- 2:33:40precious one's representing all those who are scattered across the
- 2:33:43overflows and following online. Perhaps someone is just falling from
- 2:33:47your home, and right there, in your silence, Jesus is
- 2:33:51speaking to you. I salute all of you who have
- 2:33:54come out. It is never too late to make it
- 2:33:57right with Jesus. May I please request that by as
- 2:34:00a way of surrender, you lift your right hand above
- 2:34:03your head, and please say this after me, Say, Lord Jesus,

- 2:34:13that you are the son of God. I believe that
- 2:34:17you died for my sin. I believe that you rose
- 2:34:22again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into
- 2:34:29my heart as my savior, as my lord, and as
- 2:34:35my king. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell,
- 2:34:44and the grave is.

- 2:35:06sins forgiving, and in the name of Jesus, I call
- 2:35:10them bonafide recipients of eternal life. From tonight, you are
- 2:35:15the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and I declare
- 2:35:18by the authority of God's word that the power of sin, satan, hell,
- 2:35:23and the grave is broken over your life. You walk
- 2:35:26in newness of life. From tonight until forever, you will
- 2:35:30spend your days serving Jesus. For in the mightiest name
