• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Apostle Femi Lazarus is a man raised by God to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: demonstrate his wisdom and authority to the last day church.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He is the lead pastor of Sphere of Light Church
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and God told him years ago that a time will
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: come where my wisdom will be needed to navigate tough
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: times in the body of Christ. Then I will cause
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: your voice to be heard and all who pay attention
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to my word on your lips will not lack light
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and direction. He is a man sent from God, sent
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to raise God's end time armies. With Apostle Fermi Lazarus,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: every minute counts as you listen attentively.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Let me try to paint a situation. Then I show
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you a scripture. Is that okay? Okay. There is no
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: form of waiting that is easy. What did I say?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Come again, what did I say? There is no form
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of waiting that is easy. Everything that has to do
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: with waiting comes with a lot of thought.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Let me give you an instance.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Somebody who is trusting God for the fruit of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: womb for years. The devil keeps wringing it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Every time the fellow is celebrating their birthday that you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: are getting closer to menopause.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: There is this consciousness that the devil tries to give
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: while waiting that what you are waiting for may never come.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And that's part of the things that makes waiting quite excruciating.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: How many of you have tried to ask a girl
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: how to?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And she puts you on hold. Before. Anybody here?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Please wave your hand, let me see it. Ah, there
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: are plenty. So when a girl puts you on waiting,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: one of the fears you have is, He can see
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: somebody else while you are waiting.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And that's it. You've waited in vain.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: But the Bible said, they that wait upon the Lord
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: shall renew their strength. Meaning that we can't wait on
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: him and the result is empty.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: He's too faithful to fail. If there's somebody here trusting
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: God for the fruit of the womb, you will carry
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: your own child.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: In your lifetime, you will carry your own children. You
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: will see them grow. You will live long enough to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: see them accomplish. In the name of Jesus. I didn't
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: hear amen to that. If there's anyone here trusting God
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: for a future partner, you will not marry your enemy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Lift your two hands. Say, my hands will never be
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: wrongly joined in marriage. Some of you are married. Why
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: are you lifting your hands? Come on, put your hands down.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Single people, please stand. Oh, you are the majority.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Lift those and say, my hands will not be wrongly
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: joined in marriage. You will know what it means to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: have a good home. It will be an experience of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: heaven on earth. In the name of Jesus. It will
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: be an experience of heaven on earth.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Sit down as kings and queens. Tell a single person
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: beside you and say relax. God has you covered.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Relax. There are seasons in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Life that regardless of your exploits, you will feel.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Like one was not accomplished anything.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: There are seasons in life that you will even try
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: to count your exploits, you can't see anything.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And you'll be discouraged.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: It will be shocking that there are people who are
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: praying to be like you, but you are tired of yourself.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: It happens to every great people. There are seasons the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: song is so loud in your ears that you are filled.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: So I printed this scenario on Tuesday.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Let's look at God.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: In Genesis chapter number 1 from verse 1 the Bible
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: says in the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: The next thing we are seeing in verse 2 is failure.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: The earth was without form and void. The word used
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in verse 1 is God created, meaning he finished. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the next thing is that it's failure. The earth was
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: without form and void and darkness was upon the face
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: of the deep. When we read in between the lines,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: we discover that before we even saw that failure, there's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: been war in heaven.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: War.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And the Bible says that the dragon and his angels fought.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Somebody withstood God and raised a campaign against God in heaven.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: You is just one employee that is having issue with you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You are angry.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: God who could look at the devil and say, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: dematerialize you now. The devil dare to lift himself. He said,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I will ascend to the throne of God. Jesus at 12.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Am I correct? The fellow who betrayed him, where did
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: he come from? Among the 12. True?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: In John 21, give me from verse 1. John chapter
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: number 21, let's look at. If we put the context
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of the ministry of Jesus side by side with what
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: we know to be administratively correct, you feel he had failed.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes it doesn't make sense if we look at
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: it literally.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: After these things, Jesus showed himself again to disciples at
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the Sea of Tiberias.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: On this wise, showed himself, yes? Yes. They were together,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: let's count.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Simon Peter, Thomas the Didymus, Nathaniel of Canaan in Galilee,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the sons of Zebedee, that's James and John, and two
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: other disciples.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Seven. Plus Judas that has betrayed him. Eight. Eight. Do
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the math quickly. Eight divided by twelve times hundred over one. Quickly. Quickly.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: What times 100? What's the figure? 67% of the people
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: he passed off for three years were novices. He died
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: without their head being correct.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I should show you.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Acts chapter number 1. So when Jesus said it is finished,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: these guys were still not fine. Ask your neighbor, what's
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: your problem? We are reading the most successful ministry in
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the world, though.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Ever.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You now say that me, I'm pastoring how many people.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You now want me to think I failed because somebody misbehaved.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I'll go my heat.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: John chapter number, I'm sorry, Acts chapter number one, verse six.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Acts 1.6. And when they therefore were come together, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: asked of him saying, Lord, will you at this time
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: restore again the kingdom to Israel? So they thought that
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the kingdom he brought was Israel gaining dominance over the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Roman Empire. What he used three and a half years
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to teach them, they didn't understand. They didn't understand. So
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: if this is the most successful ministry, it is either
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a lie, Or there's something you don't understand.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Amen? Let me tell you something. There's a quality everyone
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that will do life well must have. Let's face the fact.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: People will try to intimidate you.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: The moment people see that you are gullible, they will
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: impose themselves on you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And they will manipulate you.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Be careful to know when your simplicity is actually a
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: product of low self-esteem or lack of self-discovery. One time
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in our house, in our family, they brought one of
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: my cousins from the village to come and stay with us.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: And before he came, my dad already told us that
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the person we are bringing from the village is older
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: than all of you. So we're expecting, oh, one, how
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: are you doing? When he came, he had small stature.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So he looked at me and he said, good morning, sir.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: That was not humility.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: That was low service. If you know who you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Are, that's not pride. Listen, nobody cares about your vision
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: until you care about it. And in this life, this
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: one life, nobody sends you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You're on your own.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You are either strong or you are grounded. If you
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: are waiting for any encouragement about that vision, it will
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: never come. So either encourage yourself in the Lord or
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you die grounded.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: The pathway to victory and success is largely a lonely
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: path where most of the time you feel like a failure.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Do you know somebody can finish singing well and we've
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: all been blessed and the fellow goes back and says,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I've sung too bad.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: What I did was so bad. I wish I had
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: done better. Look at it. I didn't sing well. Oh, this, this, this.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe the fellow just took note of one person's look.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: And that person was thinking about something else. That, hey,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't own the fridge. The food would have been
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: spoiled by now. And then the fellow links it with
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the singing and says, oh, I've sung so well. You
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: can't make conclusions like that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You have to be strong. You have to be strong.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: The survival of the fittest. Tell your neighbor, you have
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: to be strong. Tell your neighbor again, you have to
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: be strong. One of my spiritual daughters, she was the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: one snapping pictures here before she traveled. She was appointed
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: as special advisor to the governor. I won't mention the state.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: One of those states. Taking pictures.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And then, one time she sent me a link.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Some people went to publish pictures on the news media,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: that the governor appointed her because the governor was having
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: an affair with.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Her.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Look at what they are publishing about this small girl.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I told her, keep doing what you are doing. This
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: news will not see the light of the day. People
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: want your space. And they will do everything to push
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you out of it. Are you following what I'm saying there?
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: People want that thing you ate.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: People want it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And they will criticize you. They will insult you. Even
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the devil wants your space. Tell your neighbor you have
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to be strong. Tell your neighbor you have to be
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: very strong. Educate the neighbor. Nobody sends you. You don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: know what that means. Know that nobody sends you an errand.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Alright. How do I explain now? How do we tell them?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: These people are too old.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Tell the neighbor nobody sends you As long as what
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you want to trade is pity, you'll be very small.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: But the moment you pick yourself and say, now I
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: have to own it, that is when you now begin
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: to break through.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: And just when you begin to make that mark, you
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: will face oppositions. And largely, you'll feel alone. Let me
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: show you a story as I start today. This is
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: a very interesting story. In Genesis chapter number 29. Genesis
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: chapter number 29. If I dare say amen. So I'm
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: just going to paraphrase. There's a story here. Jacob saw
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a very fine girl. And he fell in love with
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the girl. And he told the father of the girl.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And I like your daughter. And I'm ready to serve
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: you to have her. And somehow they were able to
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: reach an agreement. And he serves the man for how
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: many years?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Seven years. And the father made sure that the wedding
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: ceremony was in the night.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why we're having weddings in the morning. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: they will not package something else for you. And that's
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: why we do tell people in this church, unveil the bride.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Be sure. Are you following what I'm saying?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Suddenly the girl that has no driver's mark has turned
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: on her wedding day.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Ouch. And even if she has before, you can't see
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: it again.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: How?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Wonders in heaven. So be sure.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe the bride decided on the way she's not doing
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: it again. The best friend said, I do. So they
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: packaged the elder sister and gave Jacob. What you are
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: not asking, how come Leah agreed?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Why did she agree? Why did she resist that I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: not to be managed? But somehow she liked it. She
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: liked the idea. And then, look at what happened. When
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Jacob saw her the following morning, he said, I would
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: rather wait another seven years. Was he that bad? Put
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: yourself in the shoe of Leah. Yeah. Somebody has you then,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: ate you so much. While he was serving under seven years,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Leah was saying, am I that bad? Am I that bad?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: What have you noticed?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That the consequential tribes in Israel didn't come from Rachel.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: They came from Leah. Judah, Levi, came from Leah. She
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: was the choice of God. She was the choice of God.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: The Messiah, the lineage, was from the woman he rejected.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: That you are rejected doesn't mean you are ordinary. You
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: may just be around someone who doesn't know who you are.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: She was the choice of God.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: It was an act of mercy that he was giving
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Leah because he didn't see well.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Just an act of mercy. Even Rachel that he went
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to marry didn't live long. She died somewhere along the line.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And she brought many problems, took idols, Leah gave him peace.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: The skeptics will not depart from Judah until she will come.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Leah was the mother of Judah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Moses from Leah. David from Leah. The Levite, the priest
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: from Leah. Because sometimes people may not know who you
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: are and God likes it so.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: So that you can mature. so that you can develop,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: so that you can become.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: So you've been to places where God allowed them to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: be with veiled faces.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Life is not easy for the blind.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: There are people who will see in the next five,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: ten years, who will wish they had related better with you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Let me say this to you.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I was talking to one of my daughters who has
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: an injury in her leg. I want them, I got
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: a sense that She believed that many guys would not
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: ask her out because of the injury.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I said, no, it's not true.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I said, what this injury has done is that it
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: has filtered fools away. So anybody that will come will
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: be somebody who is seen beyond your body and loves
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: you for who you are. There are disadvantages you call
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: disadvantage that is a filter system to filter fools away.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Very important. So you have a child, who will come
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: for me? The one who loves you beyond that will come. Amen.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Say loud and clear, I'm not disadvantaged here. Say it again,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not disadvantaged. Say it again, I'm not disadvantaged.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You are not. I want to be as practical as
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: possible with you today. Are you ready? Are you sure?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: On Tuesday I showed you 1 Samuel chapter number 16.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: How that David was anointed as king at a very
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: tender age in the midst of his brethren. But he
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: had to wait about 18 years more of different problems
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and drillings till he became king. Saul was after him
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and none else. Sometimes the anointing on you is going
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: to attract problems. You should be proud of it. It
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: should not make you sad. Are you following what I'm saying?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. The devil doesn't pursue empty people.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: If it's after you, there's something about you. I may
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: not know what it is. But we'll figure it out later.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And it's okay not to have figured it out yet.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You ask, why is the devil after me this early?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Because there's something about you this early. You are a threat.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Why should he not be after you? If you are
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: going to destroy my kingdom, should I not go for you?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: In fact, he's not coming after you well enough. If
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I was the devil, I would have done more. Do
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: you know who you are? Why are you blaming him?
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Just face your front and do your work. He was
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: anointed in the midst of his brethren. As a king,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: the next thing he faced, lion and bear. The next
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: thing again, Goliath. The next thing again, Saul. 18 good
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: years he was on the run. 18 good years he
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: was on the run. Go and read the story of
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: some of the most successful business people. There was a
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: time depth put some of them in problems.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: There was a time. Bishop T.D.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Gates said he pastored about 10 people for 10 years.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: 10 people for 10 years.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: They will say God didn't call you. 10 people for
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: 10 years. 10 people, 10 years. One person per year.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: The problem is that we are too quick to conclude
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: we have failed. We are too quick.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: We are too quick to conclude. And that's because of comparison.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Your journey is different. The timing is different. Are you
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: following what I'm saying? So let me share a.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Very practical story. Then I'll show you some scriptures. There
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: are some practical examples.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: There was a time in my life that it was
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: a very discouraging season. I'm going to be very practical
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Real. The way it was. Okay? You can copy and paste.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Things were so bad. I was facing criticism right and left.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: People were having issues with me. Am I the only one?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: So one time, I was always crying in my room.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: So I said, if I continue like this, it's not
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: going to be good for my health. So I sat down.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: And I checked among my circle of friends.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Who is that person that his head is not so correct?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Somebody who doesn't care about any future.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Who is always happy? Who has a mumu body? At
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that point, I don't need people who are too serious.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Who is this person that may be having a carryover
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: but is still playing ball? That's the kind of person
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I need right now. So I checked and checked and checked.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I don't want At that point, I was not looking
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: for a friend who would say, let's pray. I was
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: looking for a friend who would bring me out with
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: the spirit of joy. That's why I remember, oh, there's
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: this boy. So I called him, I said, Mumu, where are.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: You? Oh, yes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Even till today, when I go to his house, like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: there are many videos that must not come online. The
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: last time I was in his house in Leki, I
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: carried him and did choke slam for him. And we
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: broke cups and all those things. the wife was shouting,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: don't kill my wife. When he comes to my house,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: that's how he fights me. Some of you are too
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: spiritual to have people like that in your life. If
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: he's seated in this church as I'm preaching, as I'm
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: preaching right there, he can be doing like this. You're
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: seated and you think he's hearing the word. He can
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: be doing like this. Sir, release the burden. Learn to
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: release the burden. We'll just be trekking in the middle
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: of the night. We'll go and buy indomie by the roadside.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: We could go, I have a problem. He will carry
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: over me, I have a problem. We eat the noodles.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like fools.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: There was never a time he said, let us pray.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: But his joy brought me out. It could help sustain
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: my infirmity in the day of trouble. Many Christians don't
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: know this. I'm telling you, I have friends that understand
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: different things.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. I have friends that understand different things. There
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: are people who make your life too serious. Hey, just
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: look at you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Every friend you have. Say, when was the last time
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: you fasted marathon? Pessimism never chopped. Even Apostle Lazarus, forget
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: about Apostle. I'm familiar with Lazarus first. And you must
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: have people that can relate with you at that level.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: It's not every friend you want to mentor.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yes. It's every friend.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: And this, my friend, when things get to where they
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: get to, he knows how to switch.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yes.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: He can just come now and say, now, now, I'm
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: not being a fool. I brought this envelope for you.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I know what you have. Release the words. So I
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: lay hands in the name of Jesus. Father, the time
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: has come. And there will always be results. But the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: problem is, as I'm saying in Jesus' name, His response
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: will be, save your life.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't even fall under the anointing. You are not anointed.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: He has said amen to the prayer. I need to walk.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: All the numbers you've saved is bro. Bro James. Bro Kola.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: If you know the war we fought in this church
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: to break the yoke of brother and sister.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: One time I said, if I hear it, brother Robert.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Sister Dami. After I stopped that thing. You know what
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I now start hearing? Mama Jane. I said, these people
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: cannot repent.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: So many of them go to work in some organizations
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: where they call their father's age made by name.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: They can't cope.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: They say, I'd rather resign than to disrespect my elders.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: You know what people call? That will come upon you
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: like a bat. Tell your.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Neighbor, break the chains.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: That was why David and Jonathan could relate well. David
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: was in a fix. Jonathan could bring him out. He
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: could bring him out. Do you have anyone that when
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: you speak on the phone and they hear your voice, say,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I'm coming to your house.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I'm coming now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: They may not be people who are, they are spiritual,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: they are Christian, but they may not be the ones
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: who say, let us pray. Their first question may be,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: have you seen this movie on Netflix? And they are
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: doing their own part. You are a spiritual person, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: you are also a social being. And all those people
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: must have good contact. Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I'm showing you practicality of it. If I did not
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: have that kind of person in my life, depression would
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: have killed me. Many of those that would have said,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: it may not work. Sometimes if I want to be down,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I look at him. This boy has more problems than me.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: about the third extra year.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Third extra year. He's still dancing. I look at him
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and I say, now every mumu you'll be seeing. He said,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: even me I know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: You need mumus in your life. You know what that
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: means in context, right? Very important. So let me show
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: you four examples of of situations of being stuck.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Are you with me?
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Number one, when you remain at a point or at
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a level longer than expected, many things can fit into this.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: You've expected by this time this level to change automatically
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: by the count of life. At this season, I should
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: have finished this. My master's, my BSc, my PhD. Something
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: is happening. You have to remain at that same level.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: And all that. And you are there. And you are there.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: You're wondering, when is my life going to change? Are
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: things going to get better? You have questions.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we call this stagnation. When you are stagnated.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: When you can't.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Really trace any notable progress. When you can't trace any
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: notable result, that's stagnation. You've been at a level, things
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: ought to have changed, but it has not changed. Let
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: me give you an instance.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Abraham.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: God told him, Leave your father's house, I will take
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: you to a land that I will show you. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: will make you a father of many. That never happened
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: until 25 years later. Genesis 12, Genesis 13, down to
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Genesis 19.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Didn't happen.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: In fact, God was going to worsen the case. He
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: asked that it should be called a name that will
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: attract mockery. The father of many nations. doesn't have a
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: child sarah princess she's old the kind of names that
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: when they call themselves labels are mocking look at your
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: neighbors they are trying to make themselves happy.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: What every painful situation wants to do is to get
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: you to agree that that is your definition.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: That if you don't have something yet, then you are
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: to be called with a name that connotes the absence
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: You must stand your ground.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: He was there at a level. He ought to have
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: changed the level. If you call a man father, he
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: ought to have a child.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't. He didn't have a child. Number two example...
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Of being stagnated. Number two. Are you with me? Are
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you sure?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Finishing a level but not being granted access to another level.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: When you are done with a level but you are
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: not being granted access to another level. So let me
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: give you an illustration of this. Very interesting story. The
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: story of what was his name?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Joseph. Joseph. The story of Joseph is a very phenomenal one.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: And one of the things I want us to be
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: paying attention to is that every man we ever get
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: to celebrate have their own season of excruciating waiting.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: It is a core course. You can't jump. Look at it.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Joseph was in the prison for what he did not do.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: When Potiphar's wife wanted to sleep with him, That he
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: escaped means he passed the test.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: What should God do? Promote him. But the same God
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: was quiet on the throne. True? Listen. Listen to this.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: And watch them arrest him. And lock him up in prison.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: For years.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Because somebody else is going to misbehave. And is going
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: to be locked in the prison. Joseph would never have
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: met the guy that told Pharaoh about him outside. He
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: would meet the guy in the prison. So him being where,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: he would meet the one that would speak about him
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: to the king.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: It's not demotion. It was positioning.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Somebody has not misbehaved, but he's going to. And he
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: would be imprisoned. If Joseph was not imprisoned.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: He would think he's free. But he's not free. And
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the guy came, two of them. And they had a dream.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: This one said, I had a dream. This, this, this.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Joseph said, this is the meaning of your dream. You
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: are going to be restored. Blah, blah, blah. The other
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: one said, oh, the dream is very nice. And I said,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I too had a dream.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: And Joseph said, oh, they are going to cut your
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: own head.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: And they cut his head.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Then the one that Joseph said, you'll be called back.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Joseph said to him, when you get out there, talk
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: about me to the king. I didn't do anything wrong.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: They locked me here for no just cause. The person
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: who locked him is the guy in charge of prison.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Potiphar. The minister in charge of correctional facilities. Have you
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: been to the prison before? I went to the prison.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: They stole my phone in the prison. Prison.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: People that came out for altar call. People that came
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: out for altar call. I couldn't complain because they said
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: we should drop phone outside.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I didn't drop.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: How they did it, tomorrow is a mystery. Anyways, prison
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: is not funny. Because you don't have access to the
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: things you want to do now. You don't know how
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: powerful your freedom is. Till you are locked up for
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: like a week.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: And he was there.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: And the guy, so when Joseph told the guy, tell
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: the king about me. Year one, didn't say anything. He
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: was done with that level. Year two, didn't say anything.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: The guy moved on.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: With his life. Joseph must have been offended. Look at it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: What kind of life is this? This, this, this, this.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: He was an handsome 17-year-old boy when he left his
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: father's house.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Now he was a strange-looking 30-year-old boy that suffering has
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: made to look older than his age.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And finally the king had a dream.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: And the guy said, Oh, I remember that while I
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: was in prison, there was a guy who spoke about me.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I'm saying....
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: When God puts you in a situation that the most
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: important person you will meet in your life will meet you.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: That is him divinely positioning you.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Whether that situation is pleasant or not, as far as
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: God is concerned, you have made a good move.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I asked you a question.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: If this guy came out and then told Pharaoh and said,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: there's this guy we met in the prison and then this, this.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: If they had brought Joseph out, do you think he
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: would stay in Egypt? He would run. He would run.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter the position they give him. He would run.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: He would say, I can go back to my father's house. True? No.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: But God has strategically positioned him in Egypt ahead of
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: his brothers.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: By the time Pharaoh.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Will have that dream, it was important that the Pharaoh
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: would interpret to be somebody around. And the best way
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: for God to keep around was in prison. There are
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: people you would not have agreed with. I mean, while
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: they are the most important contact of your life, except
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: that they met you in that problem.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: You would have made your own decision and escaped.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Some of you probably right now, right now, as I speak,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: the only reason you are here is because you had
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: a visa denier.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You applied. Three times. They denied you.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: In the process of the waiting, you got an idea
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: for your business that has now brought you multi-millionaire. And
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: now you are saying, oh, there's nothing I'm going to
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: do in UK. But if they had not denied you,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: you would have thought you made progress. And that's why
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I said, The most difficult restoration to get is for
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: something you didn't know you lost.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: That's the most difficult.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: God is going to end that many decisions because you
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: need to be strategically positioned. There are many good things
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: that your friends will go and a bandwagon effect and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: only you will be denied. And you come out for
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: altar call the next service. That those who have near-success.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Syndromes, you come out.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: And your angels are saying, that's not near-success syndromes. That's
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: success syndromes. That's success syndrome. That you are rejected where
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you should not be is success. That you are, there
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: are many of you, you apply for visa 10 times,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: they will deny you 10 times. Because you carry the
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: solution that is going to break us through as a nation.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Where are you going to run to? We're in this together.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: If you run, you are not going to come back.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: And there are some people God will allow to run. True?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: They wanted me to run years back. He wanted me
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: to run. There's nothing wrong with being in a foreign country.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Is that okay now? Don't let me talk more than that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I just leave that there. So there are times you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I have paid my dues for this level. Lose me
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: and let me go. And God is saying no. You
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: have paid the calendar dues. Now there is the prophetic dues.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Many times it doesn't make sense when God is doing that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. But you must pay your dues.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Tell your neighbor, pay your dues.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: There is the third one. I'm going somewhere.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Being left behind by all you were once at the
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: same level. There are people you started life together. And
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: at some point all of you were at the same level.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: But now everyone has left the level except you.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Can you look at yourself?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: What am I not doing right? What am I doing wrong?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: What's the problem? What's the problem?
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Why are they all leaving me behind? Let me give
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: you an illustration.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: There's a story in the book of 1 Samuel chapter
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: number 1.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Turn your Bibles there.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: 1 Samuel chapter number 1.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Are you with me? If you are there, say Amen. Amen.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Now let's start reading from verse 1. Now there was
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: at Ramah, let me just shorten it, of Mount of Ephraim.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: So there was a certain man. His name was Elkanah,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: the son of Jehoram, the son of Elihu, the son
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: of Toh, the son of Zuth, and Ephraim.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: He had two wives.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: The name of one was Hannah. The name of the
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: other was Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: no children.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Both of them were wives.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: So the fact that Penina had children already took away
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: the assumption that maybe the problem was with Elkanah. So
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: now everybody knows that if Hannah doesn't have a child,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: then the problem is actually Hannah.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Are you seeing that now? And look at what was happening.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: And this man went.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Up out of the city, out of his city yearly
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Ophni and
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Phinehas were there and the peace of the Lord was there.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Verse 4 now.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: And when the time was that Elkanah offered and gave,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: he gave Peninnah his wife and to all her sons
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: and her daughters, portions. But to Hannah he gave a
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: worthy portion for he loved Hannah. But the Lord has
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: shut up her womb. And her adversary provoked her so.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: For to make her fret. Because the Lord had shot
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: her womb.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: So the moment one saw that she was getting the
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: result that Anna was not getting. She was instigating offense.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Sometimes even Christians do this. They use style to throw
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: silent jabs.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: And tell you.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: And paint situations like. Those people who are not seeing results.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: There is something they are not doing right. when you
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: share a problem with them, they ask you, do you
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: pay your tithe? Are you living a righteous life? Are
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: you sure you are living a holy life? Are you
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: sure you are not fornicating? You know, I shared a
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: dream with you when I saw that Adiju was going
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: to annoy people and I was not annoyed. When I
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: shared that dream, the first people I shared that dream with,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: you know what they asked me? They said, hey, hope
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: you are not in fornication. The moment they asked me
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: that question, I started trekking.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I was just trekking. I don't know
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: which area to use as a landmark.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe from here to like City Gate or something.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Just trekking. Inside the sun. See my life. Me. Because
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: they felt they were righteous.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: And many feel that it's because of their righteousness that
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: they are getting.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: The results they are getting. And they will flaunt it
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: at your face. Sometimes the problem is that you share
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: the same dream with wrong people. Who have no understanding.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: They are shallow but with results. They are very shallow
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: and they have results. There are many shallow people. They
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: are Christians and they speak in tongues. They are Christians
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: and they speak in tongues. And God knows you are deep.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: And he will quarantine you from the results. Because there
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: are many more like you who don't need their shallow talks.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Who needs to understand that there is more to God
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: than just getting results.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: And they will talk.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: You will hear it when they talk. You will hear
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: it in their silent jabs. When they talk, it looks
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: like God has forsaken you. Peninnah kept infuriating Hannah.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Hannah saw God married.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: And then saw her left being just a wife to
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: being the mother of the first, second.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Third, fourth, fifth. And Hannah was there. Hannah was there.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: How do you feel?
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: When you see people that you were once at the
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: same level get the results you are not getting. Number one,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: be careful not to dismiss their result. What is good
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: is not only good when it is in your hands.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: You must appreciate the fact that when it is in
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: their hands too, it is good. While you wait for yours,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: you must graciously celebrate those that God has answered.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Graciously. Rejoice with them that rejoice. And do so from.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: The depth of your heart. You must be genuinely happy
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: with those that God is lifting. Don't leave the neighborhood
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: because of offense. The moment God changed the level of
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: your friend, don't stop contacting that friend. Many of you
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: have friends that got married, just cut off from them.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: You have left the neighborhood of the blessing. Stay in
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood. Stay in the neighborhood. Rejoice with them that rejoice.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Dance with them that dance. Celebrate their small wins and
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: their big wins while you are in process of.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Waiting for yours. Celebrate them. Acknowledge it.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: You know, sometimes I meet people, there's so much hypocrisy
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: in the body of Christ.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just met a pastor. And the fellow said, hey,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: I heard.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: There's so much about you. I'm not on social media.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me that my impact is just on
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: social media? Why do you feel the need to tell me?
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Because you are lying. People want to dismiss your result.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Why do you feel obligated to say you're not on
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: social media? Because you are saying something.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: People, listen. Listen to what I'm saying. The first victim
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: is a rude person. A rude person is small.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: The only way a rude person can feel convenient to
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: talk to you is to first water you down to
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: their level. So when people will talk brashly, they are
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: bringing you to their level.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: If you go there, they will beat you with experience.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Because they are used to it. So you don't get
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: in the mud with people who have bad understanding.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Somebody is just trying to criticize me.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you something if I reply.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Just allow it go. Are you feeling what I'm saying?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Nothing is a powerful news until you respond.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Until you respond.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Put people in the space where they will be asking themselves,
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: did you hear what we said about him?
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Then they say it again. Did you hear?
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Then they just leave you alone. You keep leaving what
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: you are building to fight. You are a child. And
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: you are not ready for promotion that way. Process will
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: kill every appetite for fight. Do you see that the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: story of Anna changed when she stopped fighting Penina and
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: went to meet God?
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Penina!
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Am I the one you are talking.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: To like that? Ah! In this house.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: This house will not contain the both of us. And
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Samuel is going to be waiting. You won't bet Samuel
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: that way. You won't bet Samuel that way. You have
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: to get up and face God.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Not the people. God! You are the one who answers prayers.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: You are the one who gives results. But did you
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: see that?
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: There was something doctrinally wrong about the story of Hannah.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: She believed that God was the one who restricted her
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: from having a child. That's wrong doctrine. Was it God? No.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: It wasn't God.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Tell your neighbor, it's not God that is restricting you.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Sing the song to the neighbor. God is not the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: one restricting you. God is not the one restricting you.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: So in life, listen to this. You will see people
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: that you were once at the same level leave you behind.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It will happen.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how fast your journey is. There will
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: always be somebody somewhere who is ahead of you. And
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: you must celebrate them.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: You must. You must appreciate them. Huh? Let me say
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it again.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: That thing that is good is not only good when
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: it is in your hands. It's not only good when
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: it's in your hands. It is good when it is
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: in the hands of your neighbor and it has not
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: come to your hands to.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Is that okay? While you wait for yours. Tell your neighbor,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I will wait. Say it again, I'm going to wait.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going somewhere very crucial today. The fourth one is
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: to be ripe for something and not get it. To
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: be of age for certain things and yet no result
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: as touching that thing. I was showing one of my
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: spiritual daughters something I wrote yesterday. this is a personal
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: one but for someone but I won't but I'm going
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: to read it out now look at this I wrote
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: this here in the place of prayer are you ready
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: to hear this now pay attention to what I want
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: to read to you never wish you never wish that
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: you have what you knew wasn't good enough in the
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: past because it now looks good enough in someone else's
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: hands can I come again Never wish that you have
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: what you knew wasn't good enough in the past. Because
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: it now looks good enough in someone else's hands. Even
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: then too, when you knew it was not good, somebody
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: else was thinking it was the best thing in the world.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Sometimes things are still not good, it is window dressing.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Let me explain what I mean. You had an ex
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: that you know this person is a no-go area. you
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: knew the reason why you broke up. Now, two years after,
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: the person looks like the best thing in the world.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: You may still be wrong. He might just have learned
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: how to package more. Only the person in that relationship
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: with the person.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Knows what he is going through.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Sometimes, the fellow who married your ex has not been favored,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: has just been judged from the judgment you escaped. So
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: that it looks bad in the past and looks good now.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean it is good.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they've learned to package the problem well. And if
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: you don't pray now, so you go marry, package trouble.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: It's not every wedding that is on Saturday, every Saturday,
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: it's not everything that is good news. Some have just
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: entered what? Somebody came to meet me and said, hey,
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: this boy said he wants to marry me.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: I said, I have a question.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Go and ask God, why did my intercessor stop praying
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: for me? For you to have this knowledge, somebody has
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: stopped praying for you. And you need to pray because
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: you are going to be in trouble. May you not
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: be a form of judgment to somebody's life. Because it
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: is possible that there is somebody who is sitting here
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: and it is important to God that any of his
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: children doesn't marry you.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Because you are a.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Problem packaged in soot and glass until you change problems
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: can wear kaftan can wear fantastic wigs problems you will
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: not be a problem.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Now you are.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Quiet are you a problem are you a problem I
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: said you will not be a problem there are people
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: that if there is nobody to fight they will fight
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: themselves Just start going around the house.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: What's all this? What's all this?
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: That's why you go marry him. Problem is constant. You
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: now marry that person. There's constant waiting for you. You
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: now think something's wrong with you. They will make you
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: look like a mad person. May you not be a
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: form of judgment to somebody. So are you asking yourself,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: if somebody marries you now, has the fellow been favored
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: by God or judged? Now don't think about somebody else.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Think about yourself. No, think about yourself.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Who are you? What kind of person are you?
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: I've seen things. People are quiet. You are not asking
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: yourself that question. If anybody should marry me now, ask yourself.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Has the fellow been favored?
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Or judged? Huh? That's what everybody will say. No, you
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: are not asking....
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Is it possible that there's somebody here that even the
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: devil say, I know my level. The devil say, even me,
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: I know they come close. You will not be a
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: truckload of trouble. Let me leave that there.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Now I don't talk too much. Now, I want to
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: show you something. This is where people miss it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Alright, you have to pay attention to what I want
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: to say now.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: When many people lie and they fix, what they do
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: is that they mourn it.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: They fail to understand that that time is the time
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: to acquire knowledge for the next phase.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: So they don't acquire knowledge.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: What they have been waiting for, they still enter after
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: 10 years as a novice.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: They still enter as an amateur. Because while they were waiting,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: they were just mourning. Mourning. Somebody is broke. Who is
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: thinking the solution to being broke is just prayer? And
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: they are not learning. They have the time, but they
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: are not learning. They have the time, they are not studying.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Listen to what I'm saying.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: There is a form of knowledge you will have that
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: is against the law of justice for result of refusal.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I tell people, knowledge can be as predictable as prophecy.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying here? Listen to what
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. There are people who don't have a lot
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: of prophecy going ahead of them, but they have a
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: knowledge you don't have. And they have the results you
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: need prophecy for. Now imagine what will happen if you
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: can combine prophecy plus knowledge. I am saying there's a
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: form of knowledge you have that is powerful enough to
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: bring you out. Knowledge is a ladder. When you have it,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: you climb out yourself. Are you following what I'm saying here?
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: No leg is powerful. When you are waiting, don't just mourn.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Don't just cry. Oh, I don't know why I'm broke.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know why Nigeria is... See, listen to what
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. While some people are praying that dollars should
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: come down, some are praying that dollars should go up.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Because where they are positioned, they need to go up
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: for things to be well. Where have you positioned yourself?
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: It's your choice. It's your choice. It's your choice. God
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: did not create you that way. We made choices. I
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: said we all made choices. Oh, yes.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, we the masses. Look at what they are doing
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: to we the masses. Get out of the masses. You
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: can make the choice.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Get out of the masses. Create something. Think something. Establish something.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Sell something. Market something. There are business, you don't need
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: capital for that. Yes. I told one of my boys,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I said, hey, what are you doing? He said, he's
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: a pastor.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I said, Onga will kill you. So I said, see,
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I'm pastoring, but I have students, so I don't want
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: to go into it. So I said, you don't need cobble.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: To start real estate business. I said, let me show you.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I said, go to a place where there's land. Go
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: and talk to the buyer of the place.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Reach an agreement. Get a lawyer. I will sell. How
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: much do you want to sell it? Price it. Per acre.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: You sell per plot. It's not your land, but you
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: sell it as yours. When you sell each one, you
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: are paying them bit by bit. Don't make profit in
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: the first six months. Use it to buy more land.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: As you sell one, Buy more lands. I sell one,
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: buy more lands. Before you know it, you already have
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: about 20 acres waiting for you. Why won't you seek
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: for knowledge?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Every time they shout, be blessed, you shout amen, but
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: book you know they read. You'll be very poor.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Sometimes what you are waiting for will never come because
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: it won't come on empty end.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Oh yes.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: While you are waiting, are you following what I'm saying?
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: The fact that you are waiting doesn't mean you will
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: get it. Oh, should we tell you? So that in
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: case if.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: The result doesn't come in 10 years, you'll not say,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: now I'm an 80s. So you can become now. Go
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: and buy books.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Read about money, about finance, about relationships, how to build it.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: You don't get money. You don't relate with people. You
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: know they talk.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: You know their relationship.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: You know they read books. Internet is bad. But your
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: amen is loud. Who are you?
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: You know, we need to tell ourselves, go to the park.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: I've never seen any boat. See, this faith we are teaching,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: raw faith is with the agueros.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Raw faith, agueros.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Somebody is already 50-something as an aguero, as a conductor.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Sit with him. You will know what it means to
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: be optimistic. They will tell you, I know tomorrow is
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: going to be good. Ah, more, more. Madibe. Ah, hold on,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: I see. Ah, no, Madibe. Ah, oh, hee. He's been
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: saying that for 20 years. He probably will die there.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Pay attention.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: At the pool of Bethesda, the angel will steer the
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: pool once in a while. They were more than the steering.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: But the word is nigh you.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Miracle.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: If miracle is going to be the source of lifting,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: it's going to happen once in a while. It will
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: take a while for it to go around.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Me, I'm telling you. But knowledge can bring everybody out
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: at once. In the name of Jesus, be blessed. Amen.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody is still going to drink Gary in the next
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: 10 years. Unless he change. Fact. Let your helpers locate
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: you now. Amen.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: But a body of knowledge can make you an helper.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Helpers have get problem now. I saw somebody post on Twitter,
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: I said, tell this of King. He said, I don't
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: leave anything for him.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Somebody say, body of knowledge. Body of knowledge. Say it again,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: a body of knowledge.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: The Bible refers to a lazy man as a man
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: that makes his game but doesn't know how to roast it.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Laziness is when you can't bring things to condition. It's
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: of the mind.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Like those guys at the gate of Samaria. Somebody has
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: to sit down. Why sit I here till I die?
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Why am I sitting here? Sometimes it takes craziness to
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: quit a job that gives you a defined salary to
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: start your own venture. Somebody is quitting bank job to
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: start babbing. They will call you a fool. But it
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: is also true that what they are saying can be correct.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Particularly because you fail to learn what it takes.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: The fact that you are making bold moves doesn't mean
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: you'll be successful.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: There are bold fools. There are bold, audacious mumu. Fact.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: What you are making bold moves into, you didn't read
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: anything about it. You know nothing.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: How to start a business. How to run it. How
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: to evaluate risk. How to assess risk.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Sorry. Do all those things. Visibility studies. Nothing. Just that.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I have the word from the Lord. Amen. Many people
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: get word from the Lord. They failed. I said they failed.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: He didn't read Hebrews 11. This all died. Yet not
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: receiving what was promised. Usu had your name there.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying?
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: God said, leave Ibadan. Come to Abuja. We came. We came.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Take me from Abuja. Put me in a desert. Crowd
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: will gather. No, no.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Knowledge doesn't require amen. Now that's where I offend religious people.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: There are things that when you know, it is no
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: longer amen that will prosper you. That knowledge will bring
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: you out.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Let's see now. You follow what I'm saying? Because people
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: are checking what we are saying.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: We are like people at the pool of Bethesda waiting
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: for the stirring of the water. But you can't receive
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: a word that you get up yourself. Why should you
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: wait for the stirring when you.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Can get up? Look at this testimony. As the service.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: Closed, I was going home after the service and an
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: apostle met me. An apostle said to me, I perceive
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: that your rent is not complete. Receive favor.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: On Tuesday, to the.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: Glory of God, somebody favored me. Let somebody shout hallelujah.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Praise Master Jesus. But there's a body of knowledge that
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: the rent will never be a prayer point. The question is,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: why was it a prayer point in the first place?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: Because you don't know something. It is not everything that
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: is family battle. Ignorance looks like family battle.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. Nigeria is bad. We agree. Fuel is expensive. We agree.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: We agree. There's it. We agree. What are you doing
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: to cash out from the problem? Nothing. Can you run
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: a business where you market? No, no, no. I only
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: market Jesus. No problem. Are you creating something? No, no, no.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: I create in the Holy Ghost. No problem.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: We are not saying it's bad. But I'm showing you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: that without a body of knowledge, you can waste your time.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: And that thing you have so much hope you are
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: waiting for may never come.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: It may never come. It may never come.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Do you have the will and the audacity To pick
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: something from nothing and build.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: And build.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: And study how great systems are built.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Study for yourself.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: I tell pastors, how are you a pastor in this
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: generation and you're only functional on Sundays and Tuesdays?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: What do you do with Wednesdays? What do you do
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: with Thursdays? What do you do with Fridays? What do
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: you do with Saturdays? Go and check.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: The pastors of the biggest church are hardworking. Dunamis is
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: not the biggest church in Abuja for nothing. Every night,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: midnight cry.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: In the morning, morning this. In the afternoon, what are
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: you guys doing? Work. Work.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Work while it is today. You must have the usuling mentality.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: You must. Usul. I respect you usul. Let me tell you.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: I was in London. I told my people. I said,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: how much do you earn? They said, 900 pounds. How
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: much do you earn? 600 pounds. How much do you earn?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: 800 pounds. How much do you earn? 550 pounds. How
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: much do you earn? And then they are going to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: tax you. He said, yes. They are going to bill
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: you for this. He said, yes.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: I said, how much does an average photographer collect in
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: London who knows his onions and knows his work? He said, well,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: somebody who knows his work.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: And then knows that thing and all that. He said,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: how average can they collect? 5,000 pounds. Or 7,000 pounds.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I said, will the government tax? I said, no. I said,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: are you a photographer? He said, no. I said, no.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Don't be a fool. You're a photographer. Say after me,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I'm a photographer. I told him.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: I said, say after me, I'm a photographer. I said,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: from today, you're a photographer. Snap pictures. Send them as
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: raw files to Nigeria. I will give you another boy
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: that will edit them and send them back to you.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: You're a photographer.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: If you pay him 1,000 pounds per walk in Nigeria,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: not big money.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: You just snap. He will edit them and send them.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Are you a photographer? I said I am a photographer.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: That is farm owner saying, Father, open doors.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: There is a body of knowledge. Wake up. There are
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: levels you can never enter as a salarian now. Oh,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: she not tell me.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: You will pray year in year out. See, become rich
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: in knowledge. So much so that one hour of your
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: time is too expensive. Become rich in knowledge. When my
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: wife got married, I asked her, what do you want
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: to do?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: She said, I want to do this. Nobody sow seed
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: to my life like my wife. She gave me seed.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: I like her. I just say a lot to my wife. What? Pastor,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: meet me. Jesus.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: Body of knowledge. While you wait, build capacity. Buy books
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: more than you buy clothes. The books will close you.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: They will.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: The books will close you. The books will close you.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. There's no superman anywhere. See,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: four years time, you will insult us, pastors.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Don't mind them. Pastors are saying we should pray. Are
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: they counting prayer points? They want you to vote. They
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: count them.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Instead of you to take your life serious and build
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: beyond the limitations of the country.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: You know they do. Collect your personal welfare from Nigeria.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: That's the way out.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: Darkness will cover the world and gross darkness. But the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: light of the Lord shall arise upon you. And his
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: light shall be seen on you. There is a body
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: of knowledge which God can't refuse.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Build it while you wait. Build it. Build it. So
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: they will not just know we are Christians by tongues.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. I'm
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: not against speaking in tongues. I'm not against it.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: But when you are done speaking, what is the insight
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: coming from that time spent with God? What is the insight?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: What are you building? What are you working at? Where
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: are you in the next five years practically? We know
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: you are not God, but measuring from what you are building,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: what are you deliberately building for the next five years?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: I told them in London, in one year, this church
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: is going to be at this point. We're going to
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: be able to afford this building. Is he just speaking
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: words of faith? There's a body of knowledge that must
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: follow it up. It must influence your actions, everything you do.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: In this same country that people are blaming, oh Lord,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: bring us out of our slave masters. Young people with tech,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: then they cash out. Yes, sir. You say you are
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: a content creator. You are the one that will post
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: once in every two weeks. Your YouTube platform will grow.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: You post when you feel like. And you see all
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: these guys who are doing, what do they call them?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Huh? Huh? All these influencers, blah, blah, blah. See them?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: Every day. They've studied the algorithm.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: People thought we had special social media squad for social
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: media we don't I sat down to study how algorithm
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: system work plus the oligos no blogger can do me
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: younger I don't need you my platforms are bigger I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: do it and get out I have team that manage
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: respond to all those things But I know the time.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Study it. It can be studied. You can break the system.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: You are running business.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Every time you advertise on WhatsApp, but you are not
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: growing your contact. The same people, when they buy them,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: that's why you are selling it. Say, patronize my business.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: Everybody just call me, well done sis. Kudos sis.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow you still do the same thing and expect different results.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: What is that foolishness? Pro max. We must know how
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: knowledge works. You can climb out through knowledge.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: You can climb out through knowledge. You can study things
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: for yourself. You can come out through knowledge. Are you
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: being blessed today?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: We have to tell ourselves this truth.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: Position yourself in such a way that even when you
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: want better governance, it's not because of daily bread. That
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: one is sorted. You are now employing labor. What can
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: you do? What do you want to do? What have
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: you read about it? What have you studied about it?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: Do you know how to build relationships deliberately, not circumstantial ones?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Do you know how to climb the shoulders of those
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: who have gone ahead of you? Every time you are
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: an introvert. I don't know how to talk much. I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: just like to maintain my lane.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody does well like that. Get involved. Be a part
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: I don't like this. Politics is too much. That is
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: why it is called life.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Life is political.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Understand the game and play it. Do you understand what
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? Daniel was not a priest in the church.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: He was in the shrine among pagan kings. How can
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: you be a Joseph only in church? There's so much
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: light here. If you bring touch light here, I would
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: think something is wrong with you. Shine where it is dark.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: And do it in such a way that kings will
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: need to know how you are doing it.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Who are you? How are you doing it?
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: It's not ordinary things that amazes kings. You must break
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: the normal limit. And that happens through consistency.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Consistency. That's what many believers lack. Consistency. Consistency. Do the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: same thing till it breaks out. Consistency. Keep doing it
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: till it breaks out. Consistency. You have a business but
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: you do only what you feel like. Who are you?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: Fight also. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: If not, you'll be stuck for long. We go pray,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: but you know we'll come out. Knowledge with knowledge, it's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: a ladder. You'll climb out. You'll climb out. What Joseph knew,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: you can't know that kind of thing and be imprisoned.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: That's why when Pharaoh said, go and bring him out,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: the Bible said, he paused. He shaved himself by himself.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: Nobody says shave. He knew with what I know, I'm
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: not going back to the prison. and wore a new robe.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: When he interpreted the dream, he now suggested an office
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: for himself. Let Pharaoh look for a man who is prudent,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: who can manage these things. Pharaoh said, who else will
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: be able to do it except you? He was dressing
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: like it, so he fit into the shoes. He was
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: wearing prison uniform. Pharaoh will not think about him. Are
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: you following what I'm saying? Say amen to prayers, but
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: package well too. Because nobody will give you more than
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: what they feel you are used to. I would like
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: to discuss a 100 million dollar deal when you look
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: like 500,000. I'm not going to discuss it with you.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: I will feel you misbehave if the money comes to
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: your hands. Somebody just mentioned 10 million.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we are adjusting. You are poor in your mind. Grow.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Sometimes traveling is not a waste of money. It's an education.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: It's an education.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: To change your thinking. And you have to take yourself
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: on that journey. Sometimes, your biggest problem starts from your kitchen.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: When you serve yourself, you pour soup on top of
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: rice like sacrifice. Like you are not an important person.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: The way you are treating yourself shows that you either
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: don't have plans to be great or you don't know
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: who you are. Many of your problems start.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: From the Rise, palm, paw soup on top. Poor egg.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: The fellow who has money for meat will not buy.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: When you are not eating well, how can you think well?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: It's the way you are seeing yourself.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe what I'm saying is fallacy and all that. The
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: environment you've chosen to live. What you see every time.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: The man fighting his wife. The boy who is fighting
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: the Ogawa is a mechanic because of 15 era and
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: all that.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: You are seeing problems in the midst of problems. You
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: know go come out.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: Sometimes just use the last 1,000 of your hands to
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: go to Sheraton or all that and just sit down.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, don't say ha. Sometimes you have
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: to just be hearing some conversations so that you'll be
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: entering mental reset.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my God!
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Hey! As they are discussing those things, something is happening
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: to you. But every time you hear people like that,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: you avoid them.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: You avoid them.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: How would they talk about 10 million? Your mind is
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: not shifting.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: And it must. Knowledge expands the mind. While you are waiting,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: get knowledge. Get information. You will climb out easily. Have
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: you been blessed today? Yes. Let's give Jesus a very, very,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: very big hand.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: Somebody is going to get a body of knowledge that
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: will bring you out of chaos.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: You will catch a revelation of something to do. Do
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: you write? Do you write?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: When the light breaks open in your spirit, do you write?
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: How many business ideas have you trashed? Because you didn't
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: jot them down. And these things are volatile. Just when
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: you are trying to remember, you forgot it. And you've
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: lost a very powerful treasure.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Do you write an idea about what to do next?
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Do you write it down? What are you doing with
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: the treasures of heaven? What do you do with them? Insight, revelation, knowledge,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: clarity in your spirit.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: Things that will break you through Sometimes a new approach
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: to your music ministry. I'm going to start this now.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start that now. I can count many
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: names of many people that the world never knew about them,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: but they kept singing and putting on Instagram. By the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: time people come to know about them, there was enough
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: track record.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: There was enough track record. There was enough track record.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: I have over 2,500 messages. Unreleased.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: I said, don't worry, let me teach these things. A
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: generation is coming that will beg for them. That's enough
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: track record. We didn't start today.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Can I ask someone to pray for revelation knowledge?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: Light in my spirit. Light. I know what to do next.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: By the spirit.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: Light in my endeavors I know what to do I
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: receive revelation knowledge how.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Do I space this how.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: Do I plan for the next calendar how do we
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: expand to get more results what can I do what
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: can I have oh yes.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yes. In Jesus name we pray. Now look at this.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: I gave an illustration of when that girl went to
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: do cook a ton and all that.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed many people start doing cook a ton?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: Because it shows us that many people are not being creative.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: They only want to repeat. There is the spirit of creativity.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: The sons of Issachar understood times and seasons. Listen up.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest blessings you can have is the
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: blessing to know what to do next. Anybody who knows
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: what to do in a change of season will be ahead.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Do you know what to do next? Do you have
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: an insight?
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: This is where we are going as a nation.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: This is my positioning for it. This is it.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: This is what I must do next. Do you know
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: what to do? Do you know what time we are in?
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: Ask for light.
• 1:16:52

• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: This light can bring you out of any fix.

  Speaker 2: do next? Light.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you, blessed Father. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Now look up. Let me tell you something.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: Our attendance was less than 50.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: When I sensed that we needed to move to our
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: last venue. We entered there. I just knew something was coming. Okay.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: We were still there. When I said it's time to
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: start building. I was insulted. Look at this guy.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: Thank God we started. Thank God we started. May you
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: always know what to do next. May you have the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: audacity to make those moves on time. At the pool
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: of Bethesda, it was not about jumping into water. It
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: was about jumping in first. There are lights that is
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: the one who wields it first. Then the door about
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: that one is shut. May you wield it first. May
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: you know what to do. May you not be confused.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: May you carry this light. May you be the producer
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: of the next big thing. May fear not cut your
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: destiny short.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. You are audacious. You are courageous.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: You are bold.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: You are full of strength. You are full of might.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: You are full of wisdom.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Now hear this.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: As you take those steps, you will not mind the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: voice of adversaries.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: You will stand out. You will stand out. You will
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: stand out. May you carry the light. In your spirit.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: From today you become a wonder to your world.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus. Now I was in Lagos.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: And a few of my pastors asked me a question.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: They said, Apostle, we have watched you. How do you
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: do the things you do? How do you make these
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: moves audaciously? How do you remain consistent over the years?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: I said, hey, I will not give you a spiritual answer.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: I said, there is a rule in boxing that when
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: a person defeats the former champion, the fellow who defeats
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: the champion gets 20% better. I said there are improvements
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: that comes when you see your own result.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Build track record.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: When you see your small wins, you get better. I
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: said I am doing things and I'm seeing the results.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: I'm getting better.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: So if you say I need to see your apostle
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: for an hour, it's too much. Do you know what
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: I can do with you for one hour? How do
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: you want to contain it?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: It's too much. 15 minutes is enough. Pick what you
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: will pick.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: You can invest that much. Somebody went to pay. I'm
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: not saying I do that. Please get me in context.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: Somebody went, was going to sit down where some men
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: will be seated. Not part of the conversation. Just to
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: sit down to hear how they talk and how they think.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: They said the price for that is about $ 9, 000. Somebody's
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: thought process is now gold that they mine. That is
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: what investment does. When I preach, you see a message.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: I don't. I see a message. I see a book.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: I see excerpts.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: People who are going to create movies have called me
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: several times to get permission to create from one message.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: You can bring 15 things from my message. If you
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: can bring more than 10 from crude oil, what I
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: carry is richer. Why should you bring just the least
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: out of it? As I'm talking, those who are converting
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: to books are converting to books. Those who draft the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: excerpt are drafting the excerpt. Those who produce movies and
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: are seeing storylines. Some people have seen more than 20
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: movies from my stories.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: What are you seeing? But it matters what I see.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: That's why I don't really care about going out, going out,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: going out to go and preach.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: My platform is better. It doesn't matter where in the
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: world you want to take me to. I like it here.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: Praise God. When you stay and nurture it, it will grow.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: That thing is not small. Water it. I speak grace.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I speak illumination. I speak revelation.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: From today, you will come out from being part of
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: the masses. You will not be small.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Let's give Jesus a big hand.
• 1:21:56
