Freedom from Financial Captivity: Keys To Kingdom Prosperity – Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak · Selah Media House

• 0:02
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 0:11
  Hallelujah, we are in the days of His power and that means
• 0:19
  everything that attempts to mock God in your life.
• 0:22
  He must give up this night in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 0:30
  Let me pray for someone already. Again, I say everything that
• 0:34
  represents shame and reproach in the name of Jesus, the Son of
• 0:39
  the living. God, it lets you go now, and
• 0:49
  anyone who has told you, where is your God?
• 0:52
  May your testimony be the answer.
• 0:55
  May your testimony be the answer.
• 0:58
  May your testimony be the answer.
• 1:01
  In the name of Jesus Christ, the Bible says in Ephesians chapter
• 1:08
  2 and verse 10, it says we are his workmanship.
• 1:12
  You want to understand that scripture, you have to look at
• 1:16
  someone who is a professional, a Craftsman.
• 1:19
  When the Bible says we're his workmanship, that means the tool
• 1:23
  that he uses. Whether is a a carpenter's
• 1:27
  workmanship is his soul and all the things that he uses.
• 1:30
  So when the Bible says we are his workmanship, it means every
• 1:34
  time God wants to make a statement, he looks around until
• 1:38
  he finds you. Then he does something to your
• 1:41
  life that leaves you like a trophy.
• 1:43
  I declare that God is announcing someone.
• 1:50
  It may look to you like I'm just making an empty statement, but
• 1:53
  in the name of Jesus, I declare my God.
• 1:56
  I don't know about your God, but my God will announce you.
• 2:03
  In the name of Jesus Christ. And for those who are about
• 2:11
  giving up, wondering Is God really alive?
• 2:14
  Because it looks like I've prayed, it looks like I'm
• 2:17
  fasted, it looks like I've I've opened up my heart, but I'm yet
• 2:21
  to see the manifestation of God. Let me tell you the truth.
• 2:25
  When God begins with you, when God begins to honor you, it will
• 2:30
  be nonstop honor and victory. Nonstop honor and victory in the
• 2:38
  name of Jesus. For many years, Anna cried for a
• 2:43
  child. But when Samuel came, Samuel was
• 2:47
  the one who anointed the kings in Israel.
• 2:50
  I'm praying for you while you are crying for a child.
• 2:52
  May God give you a nation in the name of Jesus.
• 3:02
  We are here, Lord, because we believe you.
• 3:05
  You never call the seed of Jacob to seek you in vain.
• 3:10
  We have come with our hearts opened.
• 3:12
  We pray in the name of Jesus, let the devil be put to shame
• 3:17
  over our lives tonight. In the name of Jesus, let us see
• 3:23
  once again the manifestation of your victory in our lives.
• 3:28
  We open up our hearts to receive.
• 3:30
  Tonight in Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 3:35
  God bless you. Please be seated.
• 3:41
  Week after week. Let me announce to you that
• 3:43
  something is happening in your life.
• 3:46
  The Bible says now are we the sons of God?
• 3:49
  And it does not yet appear. Hallelujah.
• 3:53
  You must carry this consciousness that every time I
• 3:57
  come before the Lord, something is happening to my spirit man,
• 4:01
  something is happening to my mind, and that means something
• 4:06
  is happening to everything around me.
• 4:09
  In the name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.
• 4:14
  As always, I will encourage you to be very attentive to the
• 4:17
  Word. This is the part of the service
• 4:20
  that the devil does not like, because the entrance of his Word
• 4:25
  gives light, and the Bible declares that it gives
• 4:27
  understanding to the simple. And so when the Word of God is
• 4:32
  about to come, all kinds of demonic distractions begin.
• 4:37
  It is your responsibility to insist that I will concentrate.
• 4:41
  I will open up my heart and my spirit to hear Hallelujah.
• 4:46
  It is always the hearing of faith and The Walking of
• 4:50
  miracles, the hearing that produces faith and The Walking
• 4:54
  of miracles. The only channel, the only
• 4:58
  platform for communicating Bible faith is the Word of God.
• 5:02
  It means outside of an encounter with the Word of God, the
• 5:06
  believer cannot have the faith that produces Hallelujah.
• 5:15
  More than the information you will be hearing, it's important
• 5:19
  to realize that the Word of God carries with it an impartation.
• 5:24
  The Holy Spirit is not moving around this wonderful auditorium
• 5:29
  and across everyone listening for nothing.
• 5:33
  When His Word comes with His Word, is His Spirit bringing
• 5:37
  performance and bringing confirmation to His Word, The
• 5:41
  Bible says, and the Lord walking with them, confirming the Word
• 5:46
  with signs following, May that be your testimony in the name of
• 5:52
  Jesus. I came tonight with a very
• 5:55
  strong burden, a very strong burden that has become an
• 6:00
  assignment from the Lord. And often times when God wants
• 6:05
  to plant compassion in me or holy anger, if I would use that
• 6:11
  expression, usually He will make reference to one of the many
• 6:15
  visions that He's giving me something.
• 6:18
  I don't know if it's if it's just a unique experience, but
• 6:23
  something happens to me every time the Lord brings to memory
• 6:27
  any of my visionary encounters. It seems to plant and refire
• 6:32
  faith in me again. And it looks like it's a
• 6:35
  strategy that he uses so that you can have a taste of the
• 6:39
  burden that is on his heart as far as releasing God's people in
• 6:43
  whatever area of concern, you know.
• 6:46
  And so it, it started even before we went to Zarya, and it
• 6:51
  was such a strong burden. And that burden has translated
• 6:55
  to the teaching that you'll be hearing tonight.
• 6:57
  And so let me request that you please lend me your attention.
• 7:00
  Tonight is a very prophetic service.
• 7:03
  Hallelujah. Very prophetic service.
• 7:07
  That means many things will be created in your life.
• 7:11
  That means many things that were not there are on their way
• 7:14
  coming. It means many unwanted things in
• 7:18
  your life must be rooted out in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 7:24
  Hallelujah. Freedom from financial
• 7:28
  captivity. Luke Chapter. 4.
• 7:35
  Don't think this is a financial service at all.
• 7:38
  This is a prophetic. I told you already beforehand,
• 7:42
  we have a series coming as we always do, and I'll be doing a
• 7:48
  lot of extensive teaching. But tonight the Lord is coming
• 7:52
  with a rod and coming with fire. You will learn a lot of things,
• 7:56
  but there are definitely things that the Lord wants to.
• 7:59
  Do in our lives tonight and for someone your prayer and fasting
• 8:04
  is about to be answered because you have said God, when will you
• 8:07
  visit me? Not knowing that while you were
• 8:10
  on your way to church, as you left home, you also left shame.
• 8:14
  As you left home, you also left reproach.
• 8:17
  As you left home, you left your yesterday and may never come to
• 8:22
  your life again. In the.
• 8:24
  Name of Jesus Christ for some of you as you left home, you left
• 8:29
  the generational 'cause that has held everybody.
• 8:33
  Loving the Lord, but living in poverty, loving the Lord but
• 8:37
  living in all kinds of reproach. No beauty and color in your
• 8:42
  life. In the name of Jesus I stand
• 8:44
  representing the King of kings. I declare that circle is broken
• 8:48
  once and for all. That circle is broken once and
• 8:52
  for all. That circle is broken once and
• 8:55
  for all. And for someone here that you
• 8:58
  have carried upon your forehead like Cain, the statement written
• 9:04
  in cupboard that everywhere you go it becomes clear that it's
• 9:08
  like your Lord is reproached in the name of Jesus, the Son of
• 9:12
  the living God, we wipe away that mark from of you.
• 9:23
  For a man of God here, for a church, for a business, for a
• 9:26
  family, it looks like everything has worked except his finances.
• 9:31
  And you are wondering what is the key?
• 9:33
  What have we done? Wrong.
• 9:34
  In the name of Jesus Christ, may my God surprise you, please be
• 9:43
  seated and now. Lend me your attention.
• 9:47
  Luke chapter 4 and verse 16. By the way, let me take a minute
• 9:52
  to celebrate a dear man of God, Venerable Ike, all the way from
• 9:57
  Onichal. Let's bless him with the
• 9:59
  Anglican Communion. Bless you, Sir.
• 10:02
  It's an honor to have you around.
• 10:03
  May God bless you. May God bless you.
• 10:05
  Please be seated. Luke Chapter.
• 10:07
  Four and verse 16. Luke 4.
• 10:13
  From verse 16 the Bible says and as he came to Nazareth, Jesus
• 10:18
  now where he had been brought up and as his custom was, he went
• 10:24
  into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and the Bible says
• 10:28
  he stood up for to read verse 17 and there was delivered unto
• 10:34
  him. I'm seeing the hands of people
• 10:37
  just Catching Fire. This is what I'm seeing, the
• 10:41
  hands of people. Catching Fire.
• 10:43
  This is a manifestation of the spirit of poverty over many
• 10:48
  families. It may not be for everybody, but
• 10:51
  everyone who is represented in this vision in the name of Jesus
• 10:55
  Christ, whatever has tied your hand or that of your loved ones,
• 10:59
  I hope you are not here just for yourself.
• 11:01
  You are also here. As for me and my family, I
• 11:05
  declare, let that fire burn. To ashes, let that fire born to
• 11:10
  ashes. Let that fire born to ashes,
• 11:13
  everything that is not the planting of God in the name of
• 11:18
  Jesus. Christ, please be seated.
• 11:20
  Let's continue. The Bible says there was
• 11:22
  delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaias, and when he
• 11:28
  had opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
• 11:32
  18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 11:38
  Because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
• 11:43
  What did he send me to do to the poor to preach the gospel?
• 11:46
  The word poor there is also translated Mick when you read
• 11:50
  Isaiah's rendition of it. He has sent me to heal the
• 11:54
  broken hearted. I like the next verse, the next
• 11:57
  sentence to preach deliverance to the captives.
• 12:03
  Deliverance is not only conducted, it is preached to
• 12:07
  preach deliverance. That means there is something
• 12:11
  the captive needs to hear that releases the power of God and
• 12:16
  translates to victory and recovering of sight to the
• 12:20
  blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised 19.
• 12:27
  It says to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 Now the
• 12:32
  Bible says He closed the book, and he gave it to the minister,
• 12:36
  and he sat down, and the eyes of all them that when the synagogue
• 12:41
  were fastened upon him. In other words, if you claim
• 12:45
  that This is why you are here, then we are watching, We are
• 12:48
  lending you our attention. The last verse now 21 says, And
• 12:52
  he began to say unto them, This day someone prophesied said,
• 12:56
  this day, it will not be next week, it will not be tomorrow.
• 13:00
  He said, this day is this Scripture.
• 13:04
  Now you see, he said. Many things there it is the
• 13:07
  assignment of your faith to choose the one that must
• 13:09
  manifest. It says this day is this
• 13:13
  scripture, whatever this scripture means for you, this
• 13:16
  scripture fulfilled in your ears.
• 13:20
  Hallelujah 2 visions very quickly and then I'll begin to
• 13:24
  teach the first vision that the Lord brought back to my mind
• 13:30
  that inspired this teaching this prophetic service tonight was
• 13:36
  the vision that would open me up to his call upon my life.
• 13:42
  I have shared it 1000 times what I wanted to pay attention.
• 13:46
  I would just cut straight to the point because we have a lot to
• 13:48
  do so I was standing up a building like an elevated like a
• 13:53
  story building and I saw an endless sea of people in that
• 13:58
  vision. It was a whole generation in
• 14:01
  that vision. And the ones in front of me as
• 14:06
  the, this, the, the picture kept zooming.
• 14:10
  They began to cry. And I remember very clearly they
• 14:13
  said there's no food and there's no water.
• 14:16
  And then I said, who is the cost?
• 14:18
  And they all pointed in unison unanimously.
• 14:21
  I said, why would I do that? No food and no water.
• 14:24
  And he says, who is the cost? And they pointed to me and I
• 14:27
  said no, I would not do that. Then I had an assignment to
• 14:31
  deliver those people, but I was afraid because in that vision it
• 14:35
  looked like some people had chased me into that closet.
• 14:40
  But I made-up my mind that I was going to go out all the same.
• 14:43
  I said if I perish like Esther, I perish.
• 14:46
  As soon as I opened the door, I met this giant Gray bearded man
• 14:53
  that I know now is a representation of the Holy
• 14:57
  Spirit. And he stretched his hands, and
• 15:00
  I stretched back my tiny hands and placed it on him.
• 15:03
  And he said, I will walk with you.
• 15:05
  And then we began to move, moving from one building to the
• 15:09
  other on our way down. That's the vision #1 And you
• 15:13
  know, for a long time when you see that, you would think it's
• 15:15
  just spiritual food and spiritual water alone.
• 15:19
  But I believe that it is all-encompassing.
• 15:22
  Whatever food represents. Food represents the basis for
• 15:26
  nourishment and sufficiency. Hallelujah.
• 15:29
  So when I teach topics like this, I'm not teaching as an
• 15:32
  advisor. There is an anointing and a
• 15:35
  mantle that came. Are we together to teach what
• 15:39
  I'm teaching #2 In that vision, I was standing ready to serve
• 15:49
  God's people. And there was a machine.
• 15:51
  You know, very strangely, the machine was mixing bread with
• 15:57
  honey and my assignment was to just cut a piece and serve the
• 16:02
  people automatically. It was not me mixing it.
• 16:05
  The machine, you know how you put jam or blue band in between
• 16:09
  the bread? It was doing it on its own and
• 16:12
  that machine, you could not even see the end of it.
• 16:14
  My assignment was just to stand. It would churn out bread mixed
• 16:18
  with honey, dripping honey from the bread.
• 16:21
  It was dripping to the ground and people would taste of it and
• 16:25
  run and join the. Queue again.
• 16:27
  I know I saw that happen many times and there was no such
• 16:30
  thing. Like you've been here before,
• 16:31
  don't come again. People would eat.
• 16:33
  And. Run and they were calling their
• 16:35
  loved ones and saying come and the queue started elongating,
• 16:39
  elongating and people were taking the bread and honey.
• 16:42
  Some will run back and stand on the queue, others will have
• 16:45
  their loved. Ones come to join bread and
• 16:48
  Honey. Listen, ladies and gentlemen,
• 16:53
  there are people who teach finances because of their
• 16:55
  passion to release people from lack and want and poverty, and
• 17:00
  that is wonderful. There are people who teach
• 17:02
  finances because they had an opportunity to study along the
• 17:07
  lines of finances and they are bringing their value and serving
• 17:10
  the body of Christ or serving, you know, society generally, and
• 17:15
  that is profitable. There are others who have become
• 17:18
  professionals by reason of their exposure to, you know, financial
• 17:24
  institutions, and they feel that they have something to say.
• 17:27
  But there are people who have been mandated with a mantle upon
• 17:31
  their head. Are we together now?
• 17:33
  And God has given them an assignment among the many other
• 17:37
  things. Is to open the eyes of people so
• 17:40
  that they will see. When you sit under this
• 17:44
  anointing and under those kinds of people, I guarantee you,
• 17:48
  regardless your experience, if your heart is opened, you will
• 17:51
  watch. Wonder walking God.
• 17:54
  Lift. You out of financial shame and
• 17:57
  reproach, and may this be that night for you in the name of
• 18:02
  Jesus. I have watched with sadness the
• 18:05
  limiting effect of being poor or financially incapacitated.
• 18:13
  I know it like you know that it has affected preachers.
• 18:17
  It has affected families. Listen carefully.
• 18:20
  It has affected ministries. It has affected nations.
• 18:24
  It has affected government. Finance is one of the number one
• 18:29
  sponsors for compromise of character.
• 18:32
  Many people today who otherwise would have been worthy
• 18:36
  representations, models for generations, they survived every
• 18:41
  other temptation, but they could not stand finances.
• 18:44
  Are we together now? Judas Iscariot survived every
• 18:48
  other thing, but when it came to the money issue, he felt like a
• 18:52
  pack of card. In fact, one of the principal
• 18:55
  areas that would have brought embarrassment to the ministry of
• 18:59
  Jesus was the issue of finances. He was teaching, doing the
• 19:02
  things that he was doing. And the tribute collectors came
• 19:06
  and they began to embarrass him. You claim to be a teacher of
• 19:09
  righteousness, but you are owing the government.
• 19:12
  You have not been able to pay your tax.
• 19:14
  And that was a statement that would indict and embarrass him
• 19:17
  and put his pain upon his ministry.
• 19:20
  And Jesus did something immediately to remedy that
• 19:24
  situation. Hallelujah.
• 19:27
  Among the many things that we were given as far as redemption
• 19:31
  is concerned is access to the blessing, and the blessing of
• 19:37
  the Lord translates to all kinds of good things, including
• 19:42
  freedom and deliverance from poverty.
• 19:46
  This poverty thing is a very serious thing because while we
• 19:50
  have those who talk about it like an obsession, very few have
• 19:55
  been able to proffer solution and we have those who have
• 19:58
  avoided it. And done so to their detriment.
• 20:02
  So we always have two groups of people when it has to do with
• 20:06
  the subject of poverty and finance, we have those who are
• 20:10
  overly obsessed. It looks like everything in
• 20:13
  their lives, everything as far as the communication of
• 20:16
  teachings and sermons is centered around money, money,
• 20:20
  money, money and and that's the end of it.
• 20:23
  Then we have those who shy away from it, using all kinds of
• 20:26
  religious guys and just say it does not matter.
• 20:29
  God will find a way of sorting you.
• 20:30
  You just love God and many have done that for many years and now
• 20:35
  are only left with tears and shame.
• 20:39
  Let God be true and all men liars.
• 20:43
  I'm saying it again, I made a covenant with God that I will
• 20:47
  never raise a people who are just spiritually vibrant.
• 20:51
  Your spiritual vibrancy is my #1 assignment, but not my only
• 20:55
  assignment. According to Genesis 17 and
• 20:58
  verse 6. This is a word that I have
• 21:00
  received in my spirit for you. It says, And I will make the
• 21:03
  exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee.
• 21:07
  It says, and kings shall come out of thee.
• 21:11
  There is no room for weakness and mediocrity.
• 21:14
  By the way, let me tell you, you can prosper and serve God with
• 21:18
  the dignity of Kingdom integrity.
• 21:20
  If you fall by the wayside in serving God.
• 21:23
  It is not the presence or absence of money, it is
• 21:26
  something about the condition of your heart.
• 21:29
  Are we learning already now? Let's start very quickly.
• 21:32
  It's a prophetic service. We have a proper series that I'm
• 21:36
  going to be taking and we'll have the time is a three-part
• 21:39
  series. We'll deal with it extensively
• 21:42
  across boards. But tonight I just want to open
• 21:45
  us up to a few things and respond to that burden that God
• 21:50
  has put in my heart. Let's define a few things
• 21:53
  because you will be surprised how many believers are failing
• 21:56
  financially simply because. They do not even understand what
• 22:00
  they are. We are dealing with the average
• 22:03
  believer has not paid attention to this subject.
• 22:07
  Are we together now? I want to define five
• 22:11
  terminologies very quickly and please, I want you to write both
• 22:14
  in your heart and then on your notes #1 let's define
• 22:18
  prosperity. What exactly is prosperity is a
• 22:22
  word that seems to carry pungency for many in the body of
• 22:27
  Christ once they hear the word prosperity.
• 22:30
  They said don't, don't bring me as part of that word.
• 22:33
  And for others that looks like the only thing they see in the
• 22:36
  Bible, prosperity. What exactly is prosperity?
• 22:41
  The word prosper means to do well.
• 22:44
  Simple. In the simplest expression, the
• 22:48
  word prosper, please write it down.
• 22:50
  It means to do well. The word prosper means to excel.
• 22:55
  So prosperity in its, in its, in its purest definition has
• 23:01
  nothing to do with money. Hallelujah.
• 23:04
  When I was teaching on the power to get wealth, you can get the
• 23:08
  teaching and listen to it. I taught you, if you recall that
• 23:12
  in the Kingdom there are 5 levels of prosperity.
• 23:15
  Are we still together? And that when the believer
• 23:17
  approaches the subject of prosperity, you do not approach
• 23:21
  it like one who is an unbeliever.
• 23:23
  There are 5 levels of prosperity.
• 23:26
  And God expects and insists that you prosper in all 5 areas.
• 23:32
  For you to truly be prosperous the Kingdom's way #1 very
• 23:35
  quickly, in order of priority is your spiritual prosperity.
• 23:39
  I'm just doing a recap to guide our understanding again #2
• 23:43
  mental prosperity #3 bodily prosperity, your health and
• 23:50
  vitality #4 financial prosperity, now your financial
• 23:56
  resources, and then #5 relational prosperity.
• 24:00
  These are the five areas that the believer most prosper in.
• 24:04
  If you do not prosper in all 5 areas, based on the Kingdom's
• 24:09
  definition of prosperity, you are not prosperous.
• 24:14
  Let me repeat again. Spiritual prosperity.
• 24:17
  The health of your spirit man, your passion and your drive
• 24:21
  towards God. The health of your prayer life,
• 24:24
  your word study life, your passion for the things of God #2
• 24:28
  mental prosperity. Your mind properly developed and
• 24:35
  deployed are we? Together now #3 your health and
• 24:40
  Wellness. I don't need to tell you again
• 24:43
  that no matter how wealthy you are in terms of finance, if
• 24:47
  something happens to your body, all of that will remain like
• 24:52
  ashes. If you die, your money does not
• 24:55
  go with you. You are buried naked.
• 24:57
  And if you if they cloth you, all those clothes would turn to
• 25:01
  ashes and dust eventually, and all that will be left at the
• 25:05
  bones of whoever. No name doesn't matter.
• 25:09
  Are we together now, then financial prosperity, then
• 25:15
  finally relational prosperity? So in the Kingdom, you are only
• 25:22
  said to be prosperous if we can see captured in your life these
• 25:26
  5 dimensions of prosperity. Let's define the next
• 25:30
  terminology very quickly. Riches, please write that word
• 25:33
  down. What does the Bible refer to as
• 25:38
  riches? Hallelujah, please write.
• 25:42
  Riches simply means abundant financial resources.
• 25:47
  Riches, abundant financial resources, abundant financial
• 25:56
  resources. Now, in ancient times they
• 26:00
  didn't use money like we used. So whatever it is that
• 26:03
  represented money for them in those days, if you had abundance
• 26:08
  of it, you were believed to be rich.
• 26:11
  Whether it was cattle, whether it was gold, whether it was,
• 26:15
  whatever it is, riches in our world now would be defined as
• 26:19
  abundant financial resources #3 wealth.
• 26:24
  This is a very key definition. There is a big difference
• 26:28
  between wealth and riches. While riches is concerned with
• 26:34
  abundant resources, wealth has to do with the systems that
• 26:38
  guarantee the continuity of those resources.
• 26:41
  There is a big difference between riches and wealth.
• 26:45
  Let me define wealth for you now.
• 26:46
  Please write Wealth is abundant financial resources plus the
• 26:53
  systems that guarantee replenishing.
• 26:58
  The difference between a rich person and a wealthy person is
• 27:02
  one person has abundant financial resources that can
• 27:06
  come through whatever means, including inheritance, but a
• 27:10
  wealthy person has financial abundant resources and has in
• 27:15
  place systems that guarantee. Replenishing.
• 27:18
  So for a wealthy person, there is a way to perpetuate wealth.
• 27:23
  Are we learning now? So when we say you are rich, it
• 27:27
  means whether by inheritance or by whatever means.
• 27:31
  Godly, of course, was speaking as believers.
• 27:33
  You have access, even if it's for a short time to financial
• 27:37
  resources. But when we talk about a wealthy
• 27:41
  person, don't forget you have abundance of financial resources
• 27:46
  alongside systems that are put in place.
• 27:50
  So you can see by this definition that there might be
• 27:53
  many people who are rich, but truly very few people who are
• 27:57
  wealthy. This explains the whole balloon
• 27:59
  success where people are up to date down tomorrow.
• 28:03
  Because most times in our world we interpret wealth wrongly.
• 28:07
  Once you have abundance of financial resources, whether it
• 28:10
  came by corruption, whether it came by stealing, whether it
• 28:14
  came by fraud, we just believe that you are wealthy.
• 28:17
  No, wealth has to do with the presence of a abundant financial
• 28:21
  resources plus the systems that guarantee continuity.
• 28:25
  Are we together? The 4th definition very quickly,
• 28:29
  poverty. I know you don't want to write
• 28:34
  it, but just write poverty. Someone is already saying God
• 28:39
  forbid. It's not with my hand.
• 28:41
  All right, we are defining poverty.
• 28:44
  What exactly is poverty? Are you ready?
• 28:51
  Poverty refers to the absence the absence of financial
• 28:58
  resources, the absence of financial resources, and then
• 29:06
  the absence of the knowledge and intelligence that guarantees
• 29:12
  productivity. The absence of financial
• 29:16
  resources #1 then the absence of the knowledge and the
• 29:22
  intelligence that guarantees productivity.
• 29:25
  This is the definition of poverty.
• 29:27
  So if your definition of poverty is only limited to the absence
• 29:32
  of money or financial resources, you did not define it well.
• 29:36
  It is both the absence of the substance finance and the
• 29:40
  absence of the knowledge and the intelligence that is required to
• 29:45
  be productive. Is someone learning already one
• 29:49
  last time that poverty refers to the absence of financial
• 29:54
  resources and then the absence of the knowledge and the
• 29:58
  intelligence that guarantees productivity?
• 30:02
  Let's define luck. You'll be surprised now to know
• 30:08
  that there is a difference between luck and poverty, the
• 30:11
  same way there is a difference between riches and wealth.
• 30:14
  Now luck talks of insufficiency. Luck talks of insufficiency.
• 30:21
  Inadequate resources to meet your needs, especially when
• 30:27
  required. Hallelujah.
• 30:30
  Someone in luck may not necessarily be poor.
• 30:33
  The problem of someone in luck is not the absence of financial
• 30:38
  resources. It is that when you suffer from
• 30:41
  luck. You almost always do not have
• 30:45
  the financial resources when needed.
• 30:47
  It may eventually come, but at the point where it is needed, it
• 30:52
  is almost not there. You see that many?
• 30:54
  People are not poor, but many people are in luck and I taught
• 30:59
  you when I was teaching the power to get wealth that one of
• 31:02
  the advantages. Listen carefully.
• 31:05
  The advantages of one of the advantages of financial
• 31:09
  prosperity or abundant resources is that it is available when
• 31:14
  needed. If it is not available to solve
• 31:18
  the problem, then it is of no use.
• 31:20
  Are we together? Say for instance you need X
• 31:25
  amount of naira or dollars to solve a medical situation that
• 31:29
  is life threatening. Say for instance you need just
• 31:34
  for let's say 1,000,000 naira to solve a medical situation, that
• 31:39
  that person may die without it and now you are not a poor
• 31:43
  person. At one point or the other, money
• 31:46
  comes, but at the point where it is needed, it is not there.
• 31:49
  No matter how you convince yourself you are in luck,
• 31:54
  Hallelujah, if the person dies and 100 million comes in next
• 31:59
  week, you are still in luck. You see that?
• 32:03
  The goal is not to be in luck. The goal is to have supplies
• 32:07
  that provide for sufficiency when needed.
• 32:11
  When needed the. Person who has. 500 naira that
• 32:16
  always appears at the point of the need will be more effective
• 32:21
  than someone who is anticipating 100 million and may wait 1020
• 32:25
  years. You've you can see people who
• 32:28
  can beg and suffer and cry and say please someone help me.
• 32:32
  But when you trace their overall financial system, there may be
• 32:35
  some money hanging somewhere that they are still trying to
• 32:38
  walk around. I'm telling you that if at the
• 32:41
  point of need, the resources to meet that need is not there.
• 32:45
  It is called luck. Hallelujah.
• 32:55
  So prosperity to do well, riches to have abundant financial
• 33:02
  resources, wealth to have riches plus the systems that perpetuate
• 33:08
  it and allow for continuity. Poverty, the absence of
• 33:12
  financial resources, and the absence of the knowledge and
• 33:16
  intelligence that guarantees productivity.
• 33:19
  And then for luck, we say is insufficiency in one word.
• 33:24
  That means when you suffer luck, you almost are never able to
• 33:28
  meet your needs when required. This is very, very powerful.
• 33:33
  Hallelujah. But since my focus is on poverty
• 33:36
  tonight, I like us to go straight to the point.
• 33:40
  What are the factors responsible for poverty?
• 33:43
  Please write because the Bible says to preach deliverance to
• 33:47
  the. Poor.
• 33:49
  What are the? Factors.
• 33:52
  What are the factors responsible for poverty for many people,
• 33:57
  especially in the body of Christ, the moment the subject
• 34:00
  of poverty comes, it is just to pray against it or pray against
• 34:04
  spirits and so on and so forth and while that is important, it
• 34:08
  is important for us or more important to.
• 34:11
  Really examine. And there are seven factors that
• 34:15
  I wrote here. You will be surprised.
• 34:17
  Seven factors. Anybody who lives with these
• 34:21
  factors at work in their lives must be poor, no matter who you
• 34:25
  are. Hallelujah.
• 34:27
  Are we blessed? And anybody who gets free from
• 34:31
  these seven factors must be wealthy.
• 34:34
  It has not. There's no sentiments.
• 34:37
  Please try to believe what I'm telling you.
• 34:40
  Hallelujah. So once you are listening to
• 34:43
  this, some of you in your mind, you will be looking at your life
• 34:46
  introspectively, you will be looking at your families and
• 34:50
  wonder. So my sincere father, my sincere
• 34:53
  mother, my sincere lineage, as sincere as they.
• 34:57
  Are this is what was responsible for the poverty?
• 35:01
  Most times people just desire to, you know, manifest the
• 35:04
  blessings to prosper. And superstitiously, they just
• 35:08
  hope that one day, by a way I cannot explain, I will suddenly
• 35:15
  stumble into wealth. No, it is deception, and
• 35:19
  unfortunately, even though respectfully so, men of God,
• 35:23
  sometimes we are promoters of these kinds of wrong ideologies.
• 35:27
  So people continue to hope on nothing, holding shadows, and
• 35:30
  after many years of frustration, they succumb to the temptations
• 35:35
  of compromise and so on and so forth to preach deliverance to
• 35:39
  the captives. Are you ready for this?
• 35:41
  7 Please do not forget this for as long as you are life in the
• 35:46
  name of Jesus Christ. The factors responsible for
• 35:49
  poverty, this is true for Abuja, this is true for Lagos, true for
• 35:53
  Nigeria, true for any part of Africa, true for America,
• 35:58
  Europe, wherever these are universal factors #1.
• 36:04
  What is the first reason, the first factor that is responsible
• 36:08
  for poverty. My emphasis is the poverty of
• 36:11
  the Saints, believers in Christ. In as much as this message is
• 36:15
  relevant and cuts across religion, culture.
• 36:18
  My emphasis in this service tonight is to help make a
• 36:23
  contribution that brings believers, for God's sake, out
• 36:27
  of this demon this. Captivity called poverty #1
• 36:33
  ignorance or incomplete knowledge of God's financial
• 36:39
  system this is the first reason for poverty in the body of.
• 36:43
  Christ, please write it and pay attention.
• 36:46
  Ignorance or incomplete knowledge, Please, if you're
• 36:51
  writing, underline ignorance and underline incomplete knowledge.
• 36:57
  Ignorance or incomplete knowledge of God's financial
• 37:02
  system Ignorance or incomplete knowledge of God's financial
• 37:08
  system. This is the first reason why
• 37:11
  believers even. Though they have come into
• 37:15
  Christ, are not able to manifest the blessing of the Kingdom that
• 37:19
  we claim to have, I have preached.
• 37:22
  Again and again against ignorance, that ignorance is
• 37:26
  dangerous. And then, to my mind, equally
• 37:31
  dangerous is incomplete knowledge.
• 37:33
  When people have incomplete knowledge, the equations will
• 37:38
  always not add up because incomplete knowledge is the
• 37:41
  sponsor of imbalance. Hallelujah.
• 37:44
  When your knowledge is not holistic as touching a subject,
• 37:48
  you will find yourself doing the best you know with what you
• 37:52
  know. But what you know may not be
• 37:55
  enough to give you what you desire.
• 37:58
  Ignorance and incomplete knowledge.
• 38:01
  I give you an instance when you sample an average believer in
• 38:04
  the body of Christ and ask the person what does it take to be
• 38:09
  blessed for someone? He will say anointing for
• 38:12
  another person he will say seed for another person.
• 38:15
  He will say tight for another person who say forget about that
• 38:17
  Titan says come for someone else is going to say work hard.
• 38:21
  That's the key. Hallelujah for someone else, you
• 38:28
  say? Do business for someone else you
• 38:30
  say? Meet a financial counselor.
• 38:33
  All of these seem to be pieces of the truth, but having a piece
• 38:39
  of the truth may not be enough to produce that result.
• 38:43
  So ignorance or incomplete knowledge, ask a man of God.
• 38:48
  Respectfully speaking, Sir, how do you raise money for ministry?
• 38:52
  And you will hear all kinds of things, the good, the bad and
• 38:55
  the ugly. Sincerely come and ask members
• 38:58
  to give you money. Somebody will say bring in
• 39:01
  someone who help you raise the money.
• 39:03
  Another person will say, identify all the rich people
• 39:05
  that wear them until preach that scripture cry yet saying you
• 39:10
  know, toss said the Lord through prosperity and so on and so
• 39:13
  forth. And then of course to the more
• 39:17
  extremes like manipulation and witchcraft and all kinds of
• 39:21
  things. Ask an average unbeliever in
• 39:23
  Nigeria what is the easiest way to make money?
• 39:27
  Money ritual. It's as simple as that.
• 39:28
  They will answer you no matter how dull they are.
• 39:31
  They will answer you immediately and say listen if all.
• 39:34
  Else fail. Just find a goat or a child or a
• 39:37
  human being. Be on your way to any place you
• 39:39
  know where they can conjure all kinds of things.
• 39:43
  And if you think this message is not important, wait until the
• 39:46
  gates of poverty press at you. You will be surprised at the
• 39:50
  level and the shades of compromises that you'll be
• 39:53
  involved with. This is true for preachers.
• 39:56
  This is true for parents. This is true for families.
• 39:59
  This is true for leaders, true for organizations, especially
• 40:04
  churches. Right from COVID, because of
• 40:07
  what happened globally, you know, there seems to have been a
• 40:10
  decline. And I submit to you that many
• 40:12
  churches, many individuals, many organizations have gone through
• 40:17
  seasons of financial strain, and for many, they have not
• 40:21
  recovered till now. Ignorance or incomplete
• 40:28
  knowledge of God's financial system.
• 40:31
  There are two reasons why Jesus wept in the Bible.
• 40:34
  The 1st is found in John 1135 when he stood at the grave of
• 40:39
  Lazarus. The Bible says Jesus wept and
• 40:43
  the next verse will say that when they saw him wept, they say
• 40:46
  oh how he loved him. So he wept because of his
• 40:49
  compassion for John. The second reason why Jesus wept
• 40:54
  in the Bible is found in Luke chapter 19 from verse 41 and 42.
• 40:59
  He wept because of the ignorance of the people.
• 41:02
  The Bible says when he was come near he beheld the city and wept
• 41:07
  over it, saying 42. If thou has known even thou, at
• 41:13
  least in this thy day, the things which belong to your
• 41:17
  peace, he says, but now they are heat from your eyes.
• 41:20
  So Jesus wept when he saw people like sheep without a shepherd,
• 41:24
  and he knew that these people will continue.
• 41:27
  To wallow in darkness, ignorance, and incomplete
• 41:33
  knowledge of God's financial system.
• 41:36
  Are we ready for the second number?
• 41:38
  2 The second reason why men, and especially the Saints, are in
• 41:48
  financial captivity is I wrote here the absence of value that
• 41:54
  is needed. And useful.
• 41:56
  Please write that down. The absence of value that is
• 42:00
  needed and useful. Not just the absence of value,
• 42:04
  The absence of value. That is needed and useful.
• 42:11
  There is a clamor for value in the body of Christ, and that is
• 42:14
  wonderful, except that you need to understand that the value you
• 42:18
  present must be needed and useful.
• 42:22
  If the value is not needed and useful, most likely you will
• 42:27
  still remain poor even though valuable.
• 42:30
  So the narrative before now is that once you are valuable,
• 42:34
  there seems to be a guarantee that you will prosper.
• 42:37
  I submit to you by wisdom, honesty and the word that that
• 42:40
  is not accurate. There are many valuable people
• 42:44
  who are poor and sadly may remain so.
• 42:47
  Do you know why? Because the world around them
• 42:50
  does not need the value that they are providing value.
• 42:58
  Must coincide with the law of exchange for reward to happen.
• 43:02
  That means no matter what you are carrying, if I do not need
• 43:06
  what you are carrying, for instance.
• 43:09
  If you come to me and you say apostle, I want to sell for you
• 43:16
  baby cerelac for me now. It's valuable, but not valuable
• 43:19
  for me. Are we together?
• 43:21
  And if I am your only client, get ready to be poor.
• 43:26
  You, you, you get what I'm saying now now, that does not
• 43:29
  mean that baby product is wrong simply because you are now
• 43:33
  surrounded by an individual who does not need what you're
• 43:37
  carrying. So there are many people who
• 43:40
  just believe that I am valuable. Unfortunately, their region,
• 43:45
  their their their clientele does not need the value that they are
• 43:49
  providing. If you are a professional type
• 43:52
  piece, for instance, chances are excellent that by now you may be
• 43:56
  tending towards poverty if that is the only value you have to
• 43:59
  offer. Why?
• 44:00
  Because time has shifted people and made your value not needed.
• 44:07
  Hallelujah. If your only value is to teach
• 44:10
  people basic computer appreciation, chances are
• 44:13
  excellent you are going to be poor because even people in the
• 44:16
  village now with an Android. Device they have learned the
• 44:19
  things people used to queue in business centers to learn.
• 44:22
  Am I? Am I right on that?
• 44:24
  The second reason why the Saints are poor is that in bringing
• 44:29
  value to the table, I'm buttressing on .2.
• 44:32
  They do not pay attention to those around them.
• 44:35
  That means there is no intelligent problem analysis.
• 44:39
  They just come up with any value and hope that people, whether
• 44:44
  they need it or not, will patronize them.
• 44:49
  Are we together? That means if your value is not
• 44:55
  solving any direct problem that suits the context of your
• 44:59
  civilization, you are going to be poor.
• 45:02
  It's as simple as that. Number 3 is someone learning.
• 45:07
  The third reason why God's people especially are in
• 45:13
  financial captivity is lack. Of.
• 45:17
  Productivity and excellence. Please write it down.
• 45:21
  I didn't give you a scriptural reference for #2.
• 45:24
  You may want to quickly write this down.
• 45:27
  Matthew 25 from verse 24 to 27. There is the reference.
• 45:32
  Remember the three people talents?
• 45:35
  He gave 1/5, He gave 1/2. He gave 11 but the other one was
• 45:43
  called wicked and unprofitable. Hallelujah, so #3.
• 45:49
  Lack of productivity and excellence.
• 45:52
  This is a very important one because this even effects people
• 45:56
  who are valuable. Lack of productivity.
• 46:00
  Do you know what productivity is?
• 46:02
  Please look up. Let me define for you in simple
• 46:04
  terms what productivity is. Productivity is the ability to
• 46:09
  translate your value into products and services.
• 46:14
  Are we together that are packaged and served to a
• 46:17
  targeted consumer base with excellence?
• 46:20
  That is productivity. You are not productive if you
• 46:23
  are valuable. You are not productive if you
• 46:26
  have refined your value until your value is packaged into
• 46:31
  products and services that are served with excellence to a
• 46:36
  targeted consumer base. If that does not happen, you are
• 46:39
  not productive. You may be valuable, but not
• 46:42
  productive. The third reason why believers
• 46:46
  are poor is lack of productivity and excellence in Daniel chapter
• 46:52
  5. Let's read 12 to 14 Daniel
• 46:55
  chapter 5 The Bible speaking about this gentleman called
• 46:58
  Daniel is says for us an as much as an excellent spirit.
• 47:04
  And knowledge and understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing
• 47:08
  of hard sentences, dissolving of doubts were found in the same
• 47:12
  Daniel whom the king named Belshazzar.
• 47:16
  Now let Daniel be called and he will show the interpretation.
• 47:20
  This is not just a man. I hope you know that there were
• 47:22
  many dreamers, but there was something about this.
• 47:25
  This gentleman called Daniel, He added excellence to his value.
• 47:31
  The Bible says, And then was Daniel brought up before the
• 47:34
  king? Follow carefully now and the
• 47:36
  king speak and said, Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of
• 47:42
  the children of captivity of Judah, whom the king, my father
• 47:45
  brought out of Jewry? 14 I have even heard of thee,
• 47:51
  that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and
• 47:56
  understanding and excellent wisdom is found in you.
• 48:00
  Now I don't have the time to read further.
• 48:02
  I would have shown you that it took more than the ability to
• 48:05
  interpret the dream for the king to hear Daniel, his composure,
• 48:10
  his understanding protocol. He kept quiet and allowed the
• 48:14
  king to speak. And when it was time, he said, O
• 48:16
  King, I respect you, but please let your gift be kept.
• 48:19
  He told the king, my value is greater than your gift.
• 48:21
  Don't beat me with gift. Have your reward to yourself.
• 48:24
  Nevertheless, I will interpret it, I am more concerned with
• 48:28
  problems than money. And the reward he later got was
• 48:32
  greater than what the king gave him.
• 48:33
  Because if you had collected this, that's what most people
• 48:36
  would do. So it takes more than being
• 48:38
  valuable. You need to be excellent.
• 48:42
  An excellence would demand rejecting certain temporary
• 48:45
  rewards to get other nobler and superior rewards.
• 48:51
  Are we together? For instance, when someone is
• 48:56
  valuable and decides to steal from his master, let's say 1000
• 49:02
  dollars, $5000 and run away, whereas that man planned to give
• 49:06
  him an estate or to make him a shareholder of his company.
• 49:10
  You see the kind of foolishness that many people do and he will
• 49:12
  run away and someone else will steal what he's told.
• 49:15
  So you say it's 20 now he's back to square 0 and he will be angry
• 49:21
  that this told what he's told. Lack of productivity and
• 49:27
  excellence. I submit to you that such people
• 49:31
  need to be mentored to understand the value of
• 49:34
  excellence. Are we together now?
• 49:36
  Compromise on quality is prevalent, especially among
• 49:40
  believers. You give believers projects to
• 49:43
  handle and you will see all shades of compromises and we
• 49:47
  will cover everything in the name of Jesus and using the
• 49:50
  guise of similarity of faith. Whether you give them jobs, you
• 49:55
  give them contracts. Most believers do not want to
• 49:57
  bend over backward to deliver with.
• 50:00
  Excellence. And then those who are in
• 50:04
  positions of authority and influence, who are believers, go
• 50:08
  through all kinds of pressure. Why would you not give your
• 50:11
  fellow believer this road? Why would you not give him this
• 50:14
  contract? Why would you not give him this
• 50:16
  one? And at the end of it, you will
• 50:18
  find out that is the same believers that keep causing pain
• 50:21
  for so many. People because of their lack of
• 50:24
  their lack of this thing. I've had that kind of experience
• 50:29
  myself where you can trust people in the name of believers
• 50:32
  and say, OK, let me support you with this, handle this project.
• 50:35
  And it is a total mess that comes back mess with an
• 50:40
  entitlement mentality on top. Are we together now and then
• 50:45
  sometimes you are pushed you have to make do with unbelievers
• 50:49
  because their their business for for relating with you is purely
• 50:54
  contractual and they know that if they compromise, they have
• 50:57
  themselves to blame. So they will give the highest
• 50:59
  level of excellence. There is someone learning the
• 51:05
  absence. You see, believers produce
• 51:08
  something and they cannot go and package it well.
• 51:11
  They will wrap it in one polythene and just write.
• 51:14
  Maybe Jesus is Lord on it. Now I'm not saying that is wrong
• 51:17
  and I'm not saying the statement, but it is a mockery.
• 51:20
  The name you are putting there should not carry that kind of
• 51:22
  packaging and sometimes it costs next to nothing.
• 51:26
  It's just ignorance because most times we are very proud.
• 51:30
  We cannot bend over backwards to act.
• 51:32
  How can I make this happen? We fall in the guise of I have
• 51:36
  the Holy Spirit. The unbelievers don't have the
• 51:38
  Holy Spirit, but they have their mind that is working.
• 51:41
  And when it was time for Moses to have knowledge, God sent him
• 51:44
  to Egypt for knowledge. Even though Moses had a covenant
• 51:48
  with God, when it had to do with power and results and anointing,
• 51:52
  he didn't need Egypt. But when it had to do with the
• 51:54
  wisdom to understand the cosmos, the same thing happened to
• 51:58
  Joseph. Do you notice that when God
• 52:00
  wants to give his people secular enlightenment, He will always.
• 52:03
  Send them to Egypt. Are you learning now?
• 52:10
  Many believers are not excellent.
• 52:12
  Someone, for instance, will have a store or a shop and sit down
• 52:16
  and be claiming in the name of Jesus, I will be the leading
• 52:19
  store. You wake up by 10:00 and someone
• 52:22
  will be kind enough to call you and say our fellowship needs 30
• 52:26
  cans of malt. I said look, I'm I'm tired.
• 52:29
  You drag yourself as a man as if you are pregnant and open the
• 52:32
  shop and then now argue and say I don't have change.
• 52:35
  Come back later on and by 5:00 you change and say I am going to
• 52:39
  church. Is a flimsy reason, flimsy
• 52:42
  excuse. You cannot hire an apprentice
• 52:44
  because you want all the profit to yourself.
• 52:47
  And yet there is somebody all around.
• 52:49
  He has designed a system. 24 hours is available.
• 52:54
  He put Christian, Muslims, atheists all together so when
• 52:58
  it's time for prayer, the other one is there making sure it
• 53:01
  happens if it's time for. Say productivity, please shout
• 53:14
  it, say excellence. We are very small minded as
• 53:19
  believers and we think it does not matter because we compare
• 53:22
  ourselves from our little backgrounds and we just say, oh
• 53:25
  I'm making this, I'm making that.
• 53:29
  Oh, I want to go into fishery, I want to go into fish business,
• 53:32
  and you just leave your fish in the bucket and keep calling
• 53:34
  people to come and buy it. How many will will kings come?
• 53:38
  Will I come and reach out into a bucket?
• 53:40
  Or, you know, are we learning #4.
• 54:01
  What is the 4th? Key The absence of strategic
• 54:05
  relationships. Please start that one.
• 54:08
  That is the major reason for the poverty of many.
• 54:13
  I submit to you if I am to draw a pie chart and represent all
• 54:18
  these points, this one will take over 65%.
• 54:23
  This one, the reason why people are poor.
• 54:26
  Listen, there are three things. If you don't have, you will
• 54:29
  remain perpetually poor #1 value.
• 54:33
  If you don't have value, have relationships.
• 54:36
  If you don't have relationships, have character.
• 54:38
  If you don't have these three things, you have signed a
• 54:41
  contract with poverty forever. Yes, Sir.
• 54:47
  If you lack value, you lack strategic relationships.
• 54:52
  You lack. Character then you are forget
• 54:55
  about the blessing of the Lord being made manifest in your
• 54:58
  life. So #4 right, please very
• 55:01
  quickly. The absence of strategic
• 55:04
  relationships in John chapter 5 popular scripture reading from
• 55:08
  verse one to seven verse. Let's look at 7 for emphasis.
• 55:12
  The the man at Bethesda. Jesus asked the man.
• 55:18
  How come you have been so long here?
• 55:19
  Do you want to be made whole? And the man said I have no man.
• 55:24
  That is my issue not I have no. Strength.
• 55:28
  At least among all the important folks, I seem to be better than
• 55:31
  others. But the man who will give me the
• 55:33
  leverage and his one year or one day translated to 38 years of
• 55:40
  stagnation because there was no man.
• 55:43
  He did not say I have no skill. He did not say I have no
• 55:47
  strength. He most likely was better than
• 55:50
  somebody. Do you know what it means for
• 55:52
  one day to become 38 years? And the simple reason is I have
• 55:56
  no man. I have no man.
• 56:00
  There was a crippled man who's had relationships and they came
• 56:05
  to Jesus Crusade insisting that that man will be healed.
• 56:08
  And when they found out that there was a crowd, they said,
• 56:11
  listen, we are not going back with this, our friend.
• 56:14
  He may not have the power to reach out to Jesus.
• 56:17
  He may not have the energy to shout.
• 56:20
  Have mercy on me. But he had relationships and
• 56:23
  they taught the zinc. In other words, we would discuss
• 56:25
  with the owner of this venue later on, but as far as this man
• 56:29
  is concerned, not for our sake. They uncovered the roof, the
• 56:33
  Bible says, and Jesus called it faith.
• 56:36
  Not carelessness, not wickedness.
• 56:39
  He called it faith. That means relationships can
• 56:42
  enhance your faith. Strategic relationships.
• 56:49
  I submit to you ladies and gentlemen, this is where
• 56:52
  unbelievers, shit believers hands down.
• 56:55
  Because we have not learned the value and the Excellency of
• 57:00
  strategic relationship. The average believer will not
• 57:03
  pay attention to invest in quality destiny defining
• 57:08
  relationships. You know why?
• 57:10
  Because we we feel that why immune with factors and systems
• 57:16
  of advantage like favor, like the Holy Spirit.
• 57:19
  And sometimes you hear us brag and say I don't need any man.
• 57:22
  If you are saying that to describe the sovereign power of
• 57:25
  God, you are right. But if you are saying that to
• 57:28
  mean that on earth here you do not need anybody.
• 57:31
  Go and think again that God had to send an Angel to come and
• 57:35
  carefully discuss with a woman to make her womb available for
• 57:40
  Jesus to arrive. Look at all the men that played
• 57:43
  strategic roles in his life from the prophets Simeon the Prophet
• 57:48
  Anna, the prophetess Simon of Cyrene, Joseph of Arimathea, the
• 57:53
  owner of the donkey that he carried for triumphant entry.
• 57:57
  How could Jesus do without men? As far as He was upon the earth,
• 58:03
  He needed men. As God He may not need men, but
• 58:06
  as a man He needed men. Let me remind you again that I
• 58:10
  have taught you that all blessings come from God through
• 58:14
  man to man. Please say it after me.
• 58:17
  All blessings come from God through man to man.
• 58:22
  If God says yes and on the earth men say no, your yes will remain
• 58:28
  in the realm of the Spirit. I guarantee you there are people
• 58:36
  today who may not have as much value.
• 58:39
  When you look at the level of the financial blessing in their
• 58:43
  lives. It looks unfair because
• 58:45
  realizing that they may not have so much value, they turn to
• 58:49
  relationships, and they must have the art of bringing
• 58:52
  strategic relationships. There is a difference between
• 58:56
  strategic and parasitic relationships.
• 58:59
  I'm talking about strategic relationships.
• 59:03
  Hallelujah. If someone comes to unduly
• 59:10
  oppress you, you do not know anybody in the police force who
• 59:13
  can help you. If someone comes to speak to
• 59:15
  you, do not know any no is wrong, is dangerous.
• 59:19
  It can keep any believer poor. Respectfully speaking, there are
• 59:24
  men and women of God today, there are business people, very
• 59:27
  easy things cannot be done. You want to register a company
• 59:31
  and there is no lawyer that believes in you.
• 59:34
  Who can say I love you so much. You just bring what is needed,
• 59:37
  my own part as a reward. I leave it because you did not
• 59:42
  pay attention. Building relationships.
• 59:44
  Relationships are not gifts, they are investments.
• 59:49
  Waiting for people to just like you for nothing is a waste of
• 59:52
  time. You've heard me say it here,
• 59:54
  unbelievers, a man who is a billionaire will live America to
• 59:59
  Nigeria to come and celebrate a rich man's two year old son.
• 1:00:02
  Let's be honest is the 2 year old son is mate and you seem
• 1:00:07
  play with a baby baby, how are you?
• 1:00:09
  And the baby is not even saying anything.
• 1:00:14
  And because he was represented there in that birthday
• 1:00:17
  celebration, they will discuss something that would translate
• 1:00:20
  to millions and billions of dollars while believers are
• 1:00:23
  there fasting, calling the man's name on the ground, writing it
• 1:00:27
  on paper and say, except it's not.
• 1:00:29
  My God, you must give me this job.
• 1:00:31
  Someone has left. And is there represented?
• 1:00:36
  No, no, no, no. No, no shouting carelessly.
• 1:00:38
  Let me say this. Listen, listen, listen.
• 1:00:41
  Please make sure as you listen to me, you behave yourself
• 1:00:43
  because sometimes when we get excited, we can say all kinds of
• 1:00:46
  things. This is a House of discipline.
• 1:00:48
  So celebrate the world, but don't start shouting, tell them
• 1:00:51
  or misbehave. Please let me say this as a
• 1:00:53
  disclaimer, we are very disciplined people.
• 1:00:56
  In the name of Jesus is someone learning relationships.
• 1:01:05
  I have learned and I have seen in my life that who hates you
• 1:01:11
  does not matter. Ladies and gentlemen, in this
• 1:01:14
  wicked world, who loves you, who loves you matter.
• 1:01:19
  So, Esther, you will remain in Shushan until you have an uncle
• 1:01:26
  that can present you to the king.
• 1:01:28
  But if the king loves you, you can become queen immediately.
• 1:01:32
  Joseph, you can remain in the prison even though you have the
• 1:01:37
  ability to interpret. Dreams If the king does not love
• 1:01:40
  you, you remain A prisoner there.
• 1:01:46
  We live in an arrogant world that trivializes men.
• 1:01:49
  What is there? I have God, I don't need any
• 1:01:52
  man. That is true.
• 1:01:53
  There is a there is a place for that where you are describing
• 1:01:56
  the sovereignty of God. But when you are dealing with
• 1:02:00
  the dynamics of the cosmos, please do not listen to that
• 1:02:04
  wrong. Teaching that you do not need
• 1:02:06
  men. Let me tell you, men are so
• 1:02:08
  important that there are gatekeepers who even though they
• 1:02:12
  are not believers, you cannot cast them.
• 1:02:14
  There are men that are uncastable.
• 1:02:16
  If God wants you to pass through that gate, you will grant them
• 1:02:20
  favor with you, but as far as they are concerned, praying them
• 1:02:24
  away is a waste of time. When a man's ways pleases the
• 1:02:29
  Lord, is that in your Bible? He makes even his enemies to be
• 1:02:33
  at peace with him. There are some people, if they
• 1:02:36
  are not at peace with you, you will go to heaven, but you will
• 1:02:39
  suffer on this. Earth.
• 1:02:41
  It's the truth. This is what some of our loved
• 1:02:48
  ones did not know. This is what some of our great
• 1:02:51
  people as. I'm talking to you now.
• 1:02:53
  Some of you came from families that that were mad by poverty.
• 1:02:58
  I am showing you that these were the rules that our loved ones
• 1:03:02
  broke. When other people were building
• 1:03:05
  relationships, they were there gossiping and ignoring people
• 1:03:08
  and saying how can this small boy be rich instead of you to be
• 1:03:11
  close to him because he can help you.
• 1:03:13
  Now the small boy is the one who can pay for your medical bills
• 1:03:17
  and unfortunately every old person around you does not have
• 1:03:20
  money. What do you now do respectfully,
• 1:03:26
  there are men and women of God who have been insulted members
• 1:03:30
  and shouted at people. If you are rich, carry all your
• 1:03:32
  money and they insult them. Whereas there's building project
• 1:03:35
  coming, whereas there are all kinds of things coming.
• 1:03:37
  Then when it is now the time you say if you are, if you have
• 1:03:40
  money in this church and you are not giving and the people said
• 1:03:42
  no, no, no, you insulted us. I you insult me and insult
• 1:03:45
  everything I have. So as I go, I go with
• 1:03:48
  everything. I have relationships.
• 1:03:53
  You come to church, you ignore the person sitting at your left
• 1:03:56
  hand, right, They say, turn to your neighbor.
• 1:03:58
  You are frowning simply because you do not even know whether
• 1:04:01
  that person is the answer to your tomorrow's prayer.
• 1:04:04
  Not even today. You see, let me tell you the
• 1:04:08
  truth. Please look up.
• 1:04:10
  We live in a world where we like glitz and.
• 1:04:12
  Glamour. Once you see someone sit close
• 1:04:14
  to you and there's nothing wrong.
• 1:04:16
  Everybody has their, their, you know, the way they see life.
• 1:04:20
  But some of the greatest gifts and the greatest helpers will
• 1:04:23
  come in packages that you would need your spirit man to help you
• 1:04:27
  design. Someone may be seated close to
• 1:04:31
  you, He may not have money, but he's the one who works for the
• 1:04:35
  one you are looking for. And let me tell you Nigerians,
• 1:04:39
  we know this. The person who is an aid of a
• 1:04:43
  wealthy man is more, is more in a position of honor and
• 1:04:48
  opportunity than even some of the directors in the company,
• 1:04:52
  because that is the one who will serve him tea.
• 1:04:54
  That is the one who will serve him bread.
• 1:04:56
  And he can smuggle your issue to his ears quickly.
• 1:04:58
  Whereas somebody is still saying well minuted.
• 1:05:02
  They sign it down, throw it away, and pray that the wind,
• 1:05:05
  evil wind, does not push it from that table to the trash.
• 1:05:10
  As funny as what I'm saying is, there are many of us right now.
• 1:05:14
  The answer to your prayer is what you are hearing.
• 1:05:17
  You have ignored many people. Nobody is worth your commitment.
• 1:05:22
  We have this sense of self-sufficiency.
• 1:05:25
  No, it does not matter. You are making a mistake, a big
• 1:05:28
  mistake. I'm not teaching human worship.
• 1:05:31
  Please don't get me wrong. There are people because of the
• 1:05:33
  abundance and because of the way they have suffered, they will
• 1:05:36
  want to subjugate people and turn them to slaves.
• 1:05:39
  Please, this is not what I'm teaching.
• 1:05:40
  But I am telling you that in the lifting of men, even
• 1:05:44
  financially, men have a role to play.
• 1:05:51
  I've asked you this. Question many times.
• 1:05:52
  Let me ask you one more time. Think, don't talk.
• 1:05:56
  Is there someone in your life right now who you can call for
• 1:06:01
  help and the person will help you without thinking twice?
• 1:06:04
  Just think, is there someone right now as you are watching?
• 1:06:09
  Me. Let's assume, for instance, that
• 1:06:12
  you needed. Let me use a realistic figure,
• 1:06:13
  maybe 200,000 500,000 A million naira is just someone in your
• 1:06:19
  life that has been helped by God who can say for your sake I'm on
• 1:06:24
  my way to your house. If there is none, I guarantee
• 1:06:28
  you you are sitting on a time bomb because according to the
• 1:06:32
  law of. Time and chance.
• 1:06:35
  According to the law of life, sooner or later, even if you are
• 1:06:38
  Jesus, you may not be able to carry the cross alone.
• 1:06:43
  Powerful Jesus needed men to help him.
• 1:06:45
  It is foolishness to believe that for the rest of your life
• 1:06:49
  you will not. Need any man?
• 1:06:50
  No Hallelujah. Investing in relationships may
• 1:06:57
  look costly. You will bend over backwards, it
• 1:07:00
  will sting your ego. But the profit that comes from
• 1:07:03
  that investment is unbelievable. Do you know that there are
• 1:07:06
  people who do not exactly have work, but they are never broke
• 1:07:10
  because they're around strategic relationships?
• 1:07:15
  They greet, they hung around when the meeting is happening,
• 1:07:17
  they're standing outside. Their job is to just support.
• 1:07:20
  Are you tired? OK, just bribe me orange quickly
• 1:07:22
  and they run and you will think that they're wasting time,
• 1:07:26
  except that when it's time to share everything, even if it's
• 1:07:29
  the crumbs from the table, it will get to them.
• 1:07:32
  One day someone would just look at them and say you've been very
• 1:07:35
  effective, come and take this car and that's it.
• 1:07:39
  Come and take this house and that's it.
• 1:07:43
  Don't expect people to pay attention to you when you have
• 1:07:46
  not communicated or no, and you have not even listened.
• 1:07:49
  Every man's need is his point of contact.
• 1:07:52
  Learn this. Every man's need is his point of
• 1:07:56
  contact. If I am thirsty, the person who
• 1:07:59
  brings me water is the person I pay attention to for that
• 1:08:03
  moment. Are we together?
• 1:08:06
  Many believers do not invest in strategic relationships, and
• 1:08:12
  then they want astronomical returns, for nothing is fraught.
• 1:08:20
  Are we together? That means God loves everybody,
• 1:08:24
  but you don't invest in your relationship with Him.
• 1:08:28
  I'm using God since he's universal.
• 1:08:30
  You don't invest in your relationship, in worship, in
• 1:08:34
  prayer, in Word study, and then you suddenly want to have the
• 1:08:37
  same ministerial opportunities, the same access to the great.
• 1:08:41
  It does not work that way. Time is the seed for intimacy.
• 1:08:47
  When you sow time, you get back a harvest of intimacy.
• 1:08:54
  It's only a foolish person who will bring everybody into your
• 1:08:57
  home, your inner chamber. Watch this now.
• 1:09:00
  In many houses you have, you know, maybe the veranda outside
• 1:09:04
  you have the living room, maybe a number of the living rooms.
• 1:09:07
  And there are private parlors, you have bedrooms.
• 1:09:10
  There are people who if they come, they are going to wait
• 1:09:13
  outside. You don't hate them, but that is
• 1:09:15
  the level of the relationship. They have not made the kind of
• 1:09:18
  investment. You you suspect that it will be
• 1:09:20
  a risk to expose them to your living room.
• 1:09:23
  There are others who may come and you can leave them there,
• 1:09:27
  but do you know there are people who can even come to your house
• 1:09:30
  and while you're in your kitchen they can enter your room?
• 1:09:33
  Is that true? And sit on the bed and be
• 1:09:35
  talking to you? And you are not afraid because
• 1:09:37
  of the depth of relationship? I ask you one more time, who in
• 1:09:43
  your life have you invested so much in them that they look at
• 1:09:48
  you and say over my dead body that they hear that this
• 1:09:52
  person's house just went down, it was raised down by fire.
• 1:09:55
  And they say while we're discussing where you will be,
• 1:09:58
  I've paid for a house for you, a three bedroom flat, relocate
• 1:10:01
  with your family and stay there before we know what is done.
• 1:10:05
  I'm praying for you that this wisdom key will walk in your
• 1:10:09
  life. I'm praying for you that in the
• 1:10:11
  name of Jesus, you will not make the mistake that those who have
• 1:10:15
  gone ahead of you have made. Are we together?
• 1:10:21
  The. Absence of strategic
• 1:10:28
  relationships. I have no man to speak for me.
• 1:10:33
  I am skilled, I am gifted. I'm an IT consultant.
• 1:10:38
  I am gifted. I can do this.
• 1:10:40
  I'm a real estate, you know, expert.
• 1:10:43
  I am this and that. But there is no man to speak for
• 1:10:46
  me. There is someone who can speak
• 1:10:51
  for you everywhere. You must have the discernment to
• 1:10:54
  know them and you must have the the the humility to invest in
• 1:11:01
  their lives. The Bible says give a portion to
• 1:11:03
  seven and then to 8. It says for you do not know the
• 1:11:07
  evil that will come upon the world.
• 1:11:08
  In other words, cutter your human relations investment.
• 1:11:13
  You do not know who can be used by God to help you.
• 1:11:17
  Are we together? One day you'll see a weak woman
• 1:11:19
  that may not seem to have any power, but you'll be surprised.
• 1:11:22
  The kind of people who all know her and she can call someone and
• 1:11:26
  say, please, can you make this money?
• 1:11:27
  A director Mama. Do you trust him?
• 1:11:30
  Yes. And that's it.
• 1:11:31
  No interview, no nothing number. Five, are we learning?
• 1:11:41
  The fifth reason why people are poor, especially believers, is
• 1:11:45
  bankruptcy of spiritual empowerment, bankruptcy of
• 1:11:51
  spiritual empowerment, or the absence for an easy expression
• 1:11:55
  of spiritual empowerment. Many have not learned that there
• 1:12:01
  is a spiritual dimension to genuine lasting wealth.
• 1:12:05
  There is a spiritual dimension, I repeat, to genuine lasting
• 1:12:10
  wealth. It is called the power to
• 1:12:12
  prosper. Deuteronomy chapter 8 and verse
• 1:12:15
  18. The Bible says, But thou shall
• 1:12:17
  remember the Lord your God, for it is he that giveth thee the
• 1:12:23
  power to get wealth. That he may establish his
• 1:12:27
  covenant, which is. Unto your Father's as it is this
• 1:12:31
  day. God can give men power to
• 1:12:33
  prosper. God can give men power to
• 1:12:37
  prosper. And many have rejected that
• 1:12:40
  grace. Many have rejected that
• 1:12:42
  impartation. There is an anointing that comes
• 1:12:45
  upon a man that primes your mind in an unusual way to think,
• 1:12:50
  coming up with witty inventions and ideas.
• 1:12:53
  That anointing translates to favor attracting people
• 1:12:57
  attracting. Constances attracting
• 1:13:00
  opportunities, the bankruptcy of spiritual empowerment.
• 1:13:08
  And I'm happy you came to church tonight because you will not
• 1:13:11
  live without that grace in the name of Jesus.
• 1:13:14
  I repeat that you will not live without that grace, that that
• 1:13:17
  grace will come upon you the same way the Holy Ghost came
• 1:13:20
  upon Jesus. It will mantle you that when you
• 1:13:23
  leave this place, you will be able to define the.
• 1:13:26
  Kinds of anointings that are on your head in the name of Jesus.
• 1:13:33
  Can I give you the remaining two, number six, the sixth
• 1:13:37
  reason why people are poor and remain poor and sadly may
• 1:13:44
  remain? Poor is impatience.
• 1:13:47
  The 6th Impatience. Proverbs, 1311.
• 1:13:53
  Impatience. Let's read together one to read.
• 1:13:57
  Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, the Bible says, but
• 1:14:03
  he that gathered by labor shall increase.
• 1:14:07
  Let's read one more time. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be
• 1:14:11
  diminished, but he that gathered by labor one of the major
• 1:14:18
  reasons why people become poor. Is the one to become rich fast?
• 1:14:27
  God gives speed, but he does not rush men.
• 1:14:30
  There is a difference between rushing and speed.
• 1:14:34
  Are we together? The difference between rushing
• 1:14:37
  and speed Is the same difference between throwing a thing up and
• 1:14:41
  allowing it grow. When you throw a stone up or you
• 1:14:45
  throw a plant up, imagine that I hold this flower now on a plant
• 1:14:51
  and I throw it off because I want it to be tall fast.
• 1:14:54
  Will it come down? Absolutely.
• 1:14:56
  But if I water it and allow it to grow, what happens?
• 1:14:59
  That growth remains sustained, and it remains sustained because
• 1:15:03
  it is connected to source. There are many people.
• 1:15:08
  Who want to become rich overnight and don't get me
• 1:15:12
  wrong, God can bless people and turn your your morning to to
• 1:15:18
  rejoicing overnight after an extended period of.
• 1:15:21
  Training. It is the manifestation that is
• 1:15:24
  overnight, not the training. Please listen when you hear
• 1:15:28
  somebody tells you I got blessed overnight.
• 1:15:31
  Find out the training process. For instance, the Holy Ghost
• 1:15:34
  came suddenly, but the training was not suddenly. 3 1/2 years of
• 1:15:39
  training for a sudden manifestation of the spirit.
• 1:15:42
  So you'll find someone in the school of wealth, in the school
• 1:15:45
  of the spirit, the school of Kingdom prosperity for a.
• 1:15:48
  Long time and overnight God opens the doors, but I assure
• 1:15:55
  you I'm I'm speaking especially for my generation because we
• 1:15:59
  have an. Obsession.
• 1:16:02
  The moment it looks like you want things to happen very fast.
• 1:16:06
  And many of us have mismanaged what God has given us and
• 1:16:11
  brought ourselves to perpetual penury.
• 1:16:14
  Do you know that the pressure to get rich fast can be an
• 1:16:18
  addiction? Look up, please.
• 1:16:20
  The same way you can be addicted taking, you know, drugs, cocaine
• 1:16:26
  and all these kinds of things. There are people who are
• 1:16:28
  addicted no matter what God gives them.
• 1:16:34
  They want to see how they can make it fast.
• 1:16:38
  And some is because of pressure, because we use physical things
• 1:16:42
  around to define the presence of faith.
• 1:16:45
  So if I see a Jeep, if I see a duplex, some mansion somewhere,
• 1:16:50
  I see you flashing designers all through.
• 1:16:52
  Most likely you have faith. I have taught you it is not
• 1:16:55
  accurate. Serious people don't.
• 1:16:57
  Think like that. Are we together?
• 1:17:02
  Impatience. Say in the name of Jesus, I
• 1:17:06
  destroyed the spirit of impatience.
• 1:17:10
  Yes, Sir. And Jesus increased, Luke 252.
• 1:17:15
  He grew, He increased in wisdom, He increased in stature, He
• 1:17:20
  increased in favor with God. And with men, this is true for
• 1:17:23
  ministry, this is true for business, this is true for
• 1:17:26
  leadership. This is true for personal
• 1:17:29
  finance. There is the law of process.
• 1:17:33
  As powerful watch this, as powerful as the Word Incarnate
• 1:17:37
  was when he entered the womb of Mary, you would think Jesus
• 1:17:42
  should develop in one week. After all, the Father, once you
• 1:17:45
  know, believe us to be saved, Mary had to go through the
• 1:17:48
  natural course. Is that true?
• 1:17:50
  Of. Carrying a baby when Elijah
• 1:17:54
  prophesied to the woman in Shunam, he said according to the
• 1:17:58
  time of life. There are things that when God
• 1:18:04
  wants to help you, He will grant you patience to endure.
• 1:18:07
  He will not necessarily fast track the process because there
• 1:18:10
  are things the lesson you learn on the journey is greater than
• 1:18:14
  what you obtain in fact. It is what maintains what you
• 1:18:17
  obtain. So the Bible says, well, that is
• 1:18:20
  gotten by vanity. Unfortunately, there are many
• 1:18:24
  people today who are wealthy. They cannot defend their wealth
• 1:18:27
  because it did not. Come by growth.
• 1:18:30
  So they mismanage it. You find young people
• 1:18:33
  mismanaging their parents wealth and inheritance in one year, 2
• 1:18:37
  years, you find out that you know a wealth estates that was
• 1:18:42
  built over twenty 30-40 years diminishes in less than two
• 1:18:46
  years because they handed it over to children who did not
• 1:18:49
  have the mental constructs to maintain it.
• 1:18:52
  Please refer to my message Redefining inheritance.
• 1:18:56
  Listen to it very carefully. Redefining inheritance.
• 1:19:01
  I teach there that there are five kinds of inheritance that
• 1:19:05
  every father, every leader, every superior must transfer to
• 1:19:10
  those who are coming. And if you don't, you have
• 1:19:13
  destroyed the generation coming. Money and physical things is the
• 1:19:17
  least and the 5th of that inheritance.
• 1:19:22
  The 1st and the highest inheritance you can give any man
• 1:19:26
  is your convictions. Your convictions is
• 1:19:29
  transferable. That is what made you you.
• 1:19:34
  Now in Africa we believe that loving children means giving
• 1:19:38
  them access to anything anyhow when they want without training.
• 1:19:42
  After all is my child. So we do not have 3rd, 4th, 5th
• 1:19:46
  generation. There are very few regions in
• 1:19:49
  Africa and Nigeria that can perpetuate wealth because you
• 1:19:55
  have a lot of young people who are careless.
• 1:19:57
  They just stumbled into millions and billions and they waste
• 1:20:01
  their parents estates. There are people who when the
• 1:20:04
  owners, the people who started that wealth journey, as soon as
• 1:20:08
  they die, the, the entire world does not even reach 2 years.
• 1:20:12
  Imagine if the prodigal father, the prodigal son's father handed
• 1:20:16
  over his entire estate to that foolish boy.
• 1:20:20
  He, he, he still would have finished.
• 1:20:22
  I hope you know that. I'm not calling him foolish as
• 1:20:25
  an insult. It's a description.
• 1:20:27
  He was foolish. Look at the things that he did.
• 1:20:34
  As soon as he got the money, he ran away.
• 1:20:37
  He lost relationship with the father.
• 1:20:39
  There is no record of him contacting the father to say how
• 1:20:43
  are you? I'm away.
• 1:20:43
  But just to. Let you know you are still my
• 1:20:45
  father and I appreciate you. You see that he left and there
• 1:20:50
  were wicked friends that were waiting for him already.
• 1:20:53
  And they started spending the money.
• 1:20:55
  Question, where were the friends when he was with the pigs?
• 1:20:59
  There are friends called Friends for Food.
• 1:21:02
  I resist them from coming to your life.
• 1:21:06
  What are they called Friends for food?
• 1:21:09
  As soon as it arrives, here they come.
• 1:21:18
  As soon as the contract arrives, here they come.
• 1:21:22
  You know I pray for you, you will be surprised.
• 1:21:24
  I just did not tell you, but I know I know that it if not for
• 1:21:28
  my prayer, you will not get that contract and then they now say
• 1:21:32
  oh they here is sirene and say police.
• 1:21:35
  What are they coming here for on their way going.
• 1:21:38
  The Bible says a friend is made for adversity.
• 1:21:41
  A friend that cannot stand with you through is not a friend.
• 1:21:44
  Indeed is someone learning. Unfortunately, some of us, those
• 1:21:49
  are the kinds of friends we like because they have mastered the
• 1:21:52
  art of singing your praises. They sing you to penury.
• 1:21:57
  You are lazy, they see clap for you.
• 1:22:00
  You are serious, They see clap for you.
• 1:22:02
  Prayer less, They see clap for you.
• 1:22:09
  So. Impatience.
• 1:22:11
  I pray that you have the grace to be patient in the name of
• 1:22:15
  Jesus Christ. The grace will be patient.
• 1:22:18
  Isn't it incredible that most times it's people who do not
• 1:22:21
  have money that have over bloated demands of what life
• 1:22:25
  should deliver immediately? If God allowed us to read some
• 1:22:29
  of the prayer requests, I'm sure some of them I will run away
• 1:22:31
  first. You know how Moses ran away from
• 1:22:33
  that? That's happened because you will
• 1:22:36
  be surprised. Someone who may not have
• 1:22:38
  anything will just write. These are my prayer requests #1
• 1:22:41
  an SUV 100. Million.
• 1:22:45
  A house somewhere in Maitama or Sokoro, 300 million or 1
• 1:22:51
  billion. God, you can't do it.
• 1:22:52
  And the person who is you see, God is just looking.
• 1:22:55
  Angels 2 are looking. You know, the spirits of
• 1:22:57
  judgment, everybody's looking. What kind of a believer is this?
• 1:23:03
  Yes, Sir. Are we together?
• 1:23:12
  Same patience. Please shout it.
• 1:23:14
  Same patience. Listen, if you wear tomorrow's
• 1:23:18
  cloth today, you walk naked tomorrow.
• 1:23:21
  If you eat tomorrow's food today, hunger would disgrace
• 1:23:24
  you. You can move gradually with
• 1:23:27
  Galaxy and make up your mind that when you live a realm,
• 1:23:31
  you've left it forever. Don't let impatience take you
• 1:23:34
  somewhere you are not supposed to be.
• 1:23:38
  If you don't have the money yet, you are flying business class.
• 1:23:41
  Everything is shouting wrong, wrong.
• 1:23:43
  As you are seated there, your clothes, your attitude is saying
• 1:23:47
  you are not supposed to be here at this time.
• 1:23:50
  It's not an insult because you do not listen.
• 1:23:53
  If you get there by growth, you should have learned the protocol
• 1:23:56
  of maintaining that place. Are we together now?
• 1:24:00
  You go and pay for an expensive hotel simply because a
• 1:24:03
  breakthrough Cape. You don't know how to open the
• 1:24:05
  door that is there. You don't know how to use the
• 1:24:07
  toilet that is there. You don't know how to do
• 1:24:09
  anything. You just stand there and
• 1:24:11
  everybody thinks you are enjoying.
• 1:24:12
  You are stranded in that room because your level should not
• 1:24:16
  have brought you there. Now while you are laughing, I
• 1:24:22
  want you to pay attention. It's just an example I'm giving.
• 1:24:27
  I rather walk with Jesus patiently.
• 1:24:30
  This is even true for ministry. There are projects that there is
• 1:24:34
  a difference between faith and foolishness.
• 1:24:37
  Let me tell you, process builds capacity.
• 1:24:41
  There are things I would never do if God has not built me.
• 1:24:44
  I'm not ashamed to move gradually.
• 1:24:46
  After all, the mission is Him. Are we together?
• 1:24:50
  There are people who have come up with over bloated projects
• 1:24:53
  and right now they're in debt. Finances is not the devil.
• 1:24:58
  You just get off from one small room and you want a duplex
• 1:25:02
  overnight. Question, can you maintain it?
• 1:25:05
  You buy a car of 100 million from, you know, entering public
• 1:25:10
  transport. Do you have about 10% to 15% of
• 1:25:16
  the value of that car? Because any car you buy, you
• 1:25:19
  must have a cash flow that can afford between 10 to 15% the
• 1:25:23
  value of that car for its maintenance.
• 1:25:28
  Are we together? Yes, Sir, there are meetings you
• 1:25:33
  should politely reject because those who will be there will put
• 1:25:36
  pressure on you. Are we together now?
• 1:25:39
  Yes, you should, just polite as a way of not disgracing
• 1:25:43
  yourself. You may be invited for
• 1:25:45
  courtesy's sake, but they invite you and everybody there in hope
• 1:25:49
  that you will spend money and since you know that you may not
• 1:25:52
  have them, just politely. Impatience, the Church of the
• 1:26:01
  Lord Jesus Christ, let us obtain grace to be patient.
• 1:26:04
  The Bible says followed them who through faith and patience.
• 1:26:09
  Faith and patience. Faith and patience.
• 1:26:13
  Don't go around claiming you are going to raise dead bodies.
• 1:26:16
  You just started ministry, you just had an encounter, you got
• 1:26:18
  born again six months ago. Yes, we are praying every day,
• 1:26:21
  but it takes time. The day real spirit will appear
• 1:26:25
  to you, that is the day you will know what happened to the sons
• 1:26:28
  of Skiva. You know, most people just talk.
• 1:26:30
  You just go and guard our whole family that had generational
• 1:26:34
  causes and you just now you are a believer in Christ.
• 1:26:36
  Yes, but remember I taught them in Zarya that believers must be
• 1:26:41
  trained to come into maturity. Are we together?
• 1:26:45
  Even the disciples while they were being mentored by Jesus,
• 1:26:48
  Jesus, there were some things they could not do Hallelujah.
• 1:26:55
  You hear that there's an expensive fundraising going on
• 1:26:58
  somewhere. You just go and find yourself
• 1:27:00
  there and they keep you in front.
• 1:27:01
  You don't know the meaning of being of sitting in front there
• 1:27:04
  at the fundraising because if you, if you glue into that ram,
• 1:27:08
  you would have learned what that meant.
• 1:27:10
  Now they clap for you while you were coming and you didn't even
• 1:27:12
  know what that meant. They now said, OK, it's time and
• 1:27:15
  they've handed the mic to you out of pressure.
• 1:27:17
  You say, well on behalf of me and my company, I donate 10
• 1:27:20
  million and the people say that those who know you are
• 1:27:23
  surprised, 10 million. Are you going to sell your
• 1:27:29
  family? Where are you going to raise
• 1:27:31
  that money from? Listen, let me submit to you.
• 1:27:36
  Listen to me. Please listen.
• 1:27:38
  Love what? Listen, that also includes
• 1:27:41
  coming out to make. Pledges in church I am not
• 1:27:44
  against giving. But let me tell you, there are
• 1:27:47
  many foolish coming out to make pledges.
• 1:27:49
  That wisdom is saying go back because you are putting your
• 1:27:53
  family in trouble. There are certain levels of
• 1:27:55
  giving you should discuss with your spouse as a responsible
• 1:27:59
  man. This don't just sit down and
• 1:28:01
  everybody is happy and you just stand up as a man and you just
• 1:28:06
  come and stand. What are you donating?
• 1:28:07
  You say my house. Your wife sits down there
• 1:28:09
  shocked. You are donating your house all
• 1:28:15
  because of pressure. I deliver you from it in the
• 1:28:18
  name of Jesus. Can I tell you when Koinonia
• 1:28:24
  started? Listen, when Koinonia started
• 1:28:27
  with a crowd of people and even though I had the ability to buy
• 1:28:33
  at that level, whatever Kai wanted, I would still I had a
• 1:28:37
  bike. It was it was bike that will
• 1:28:40
  carry me Miracle service. I would dress then I used to
• 1:28:46
  wear a lot of suits. You know you wear that and then
• 1:28:49
  you see me with my Bible and you are hearing a bike you think
• 1:28:51
  you're dropping someone is Joshua Salman that has arrived?
• 1:28:54
  Did it question did this stop the sick from being healed?
• 1:28:59
  You see when people know you are honest and serious, they will
• 1:29:02
  support your growth. Well, when people know that you
• 1:29:05
  are a liar, they would do everything to make sure you
• 1:29:08
  learn the lesson. Impatience.
• 1:29:13
  Let me give us the last laziness.
• 1:29:16
  It's as simple as that. Laziness, laziness.
• 1:29:21
  Proverbs 20 and verse 4. Jesus freedom from financial
• 1:29:27
  captivity. Let's read verse 41 to read The
• 1:29:31
  slogard will not plough by reason of the cold, therefore
• 1:29:36
  shall he beg in harvest and have nothing.
• 1:29:40
  Let's read one more time. The slogard will not plough by
• 1:29:44
  reason of the cold, therefore he shall beg in harvest.
• 1:29:48
  You know the meaning of this. That means the person will say,
• 1:29:51
  well honestly, Abuja is too hot, Abuja is too.
• 1:29:56
  Cold. Are we together?
• 1:29:58
  There's terrorism, there's there's terrorism.
• 1:30:01
  There's kidnapping everywhere. I can't risk my life.
• 1:30:04
  No, it should not be. The Bible says he will beg in
• 1:30:09
  harvest. Hallelujah.
• 1:30:11
  Now can I give you 5 keys? Very quickly.
• 1:30:15
  Remember, it's a prophetic service.
• 1:30:17
  When we'll be doing finance proper as a series would take
• 1:30:20
  time and go in depth and deal with certain things, but my
• 1:30:24
  focus is on poverty Today I have listed maybe I should do a
• 1:30:28
  recap. I always like to recap so that
• 1:30:30
  those who are slow would follow #1 ignorance and incomplete
• 1:30:36
  knowledge of God's financial system.
• 1:30:38
  The factors responsible for poverty. 2.
• 1:30:41
  The absence of value that is needed and useful #3 lack of
• 1:30:46
  productivity and excellence for the absence of strategic
• 1:30:51
  relationships. And I told you to note that
• 1:30:54
  because it is a major factor. That can define your wealth or
• 1:30:58
  poverty 5. Bankruptcy of spiritual
• 1:31:01
  empowerment 6. Impatience 7.
• 1:31:06
  Laziness. There are many young people in
• 1:31:10
  our world today who are lazy. An old man of 60-70 years is
• 1:31:16
  sitting outside in the morning. A young man is also joining him
• 1:31:19
  to sit down outside. Are we together?
• 1:31:23
  Yes, it ought not to be so. When a young man stretches
• 1:31:27
  himself, you will not die. Listen, especially for a
• 1:31:31
  gentleman in this ministry. In the name of Jesus, the Son of
• 1:31:34
  the living God, every spirit of laziness doesn't matter.
• 1:31:37
  Where it came from, and it doesn't matter how long it has
• 1:31:40
  stayed in this service, be delivered forever.
• 1:31:46
  My concern is everybody, but particularly the gentleman.
• 1:31:50
  Don't sit down. Say there's nothing to do.
• 1:31:52
  Stand up. Go.
• 1:31:54
  If you don't have a job, go and seek ourselves somewhere.
• 1:31:57
  At least invest your day properly.
• 1:32:00
  Don't sit back watching movies, watching football.
• 1:32:06
  Allocate time for it. But know that your destiny is at
• 1:32:09
  this infancy. Are we together now, or hanging
• 1:32:13
  around other people who have certain leverage?
• 1:32:16
  And then you are there, you know, parasitically speaking,
• 1:32:20
  you are not even there to contribute.
• 1:32:22
  You are hoping that one day you'll get something, whereas
• 1:32:24
  you are not making the most of your life.
• 1:32:27
  I detest laziness as a person and I can tell you lazy people
• 1:32:31
  will not go far. Lazy people will.
• 1:32:33
  Most likely be corrupt people. Lazy people will most likely
• 1:32:37
  want to do money ritual. And sincerely, both corruption
• 1:32:41
  and money ritual takes hard work.
• 1:32:47
  Do you know the? Creativity it takes to steal.
• 1:32:51
  That that creativity can start a business money ritual because
• 1:32:57
  you would not go in the morning or afternoon, most likely is in
• 1:33:00
  the night. They risk wild animals before
• 1:33:04
  you get to the Bush. That is the same courage you
• 1:33:06
  need to market your product and stand.
• 1:33:15
  You must prosper. In the name of Jesus.
• 1:33:19
  For as long as you are under disgrace, you must prosper with
• 1:33:22
  the dignity of Kingdom integrity.
• 1:33:24
  Now 5 keys to be free from financial captivity thank you
• 1:33:30
  Jesus, thank you Jesus, someone's deliverance has been
• 1:33:33
  established thank you Jesus, Hallelujah #1A heart for God, A
• 1:33:41
  heart for God The first key to be delivered from financial
• 1:33:47
  captivity. You notice I didn't talk about
• 1:33:50
  the spirits of poverty because they have a special section.
• 1:33:53
  We're coming there. But if I bring the spirit of
• 1:33:55
  poverty, many of you will not listen to anything again because
• 1:33:58
  that is the only excuse you have been using.
• 1:34:00
  The spirit of poverty is following me.
• 1:34:03
  I'm showing you what has been attracting it to follow you.
• 1:34:06
  These things I listed is what it saw that made him come come to
• 1:34:10
  you. A hat for God.
• 1:34:12
  Second Chronicles 26, verse 5 Second Chronicles let's read
• 1:34:19
  together Second Chronicles 26 verse 5 ready read.
• 1:34:24
  And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding
• 1:34:29
  in the visions of. God, the Bible says, And as long
• 1:34:33
  as he sought the Lord businessman, God made him to
• 1:34:38
  prosper. Let's read the last sentence
• 1:34:40
  together. And as long as he sought the
• 1:34:42
  Lord man of God, God made him to prosper.
• 1:34:47
  Listen, I respect all kinds of opinions, secular opinions and
• 1:34:52
  and all of that, but I'm teaching you from a biblical
• 1:34:56
  standpoint. Hear me believers, there is
• 1:34:58
  nobody who negates God, ignores God, and would have prosperity
• 1:35:03
  that will be balanced and holistic.
• 1:35:06
  It's a lie. You may have money.
• 1:35:09
  But the many other gaps in your life that only the size of God
• 1:35:14
  can feel will bring you back to an unfulfilled life.
• 1:35:18
  There are many people who have abundant financial resources,
• 1:35:22
  but you cannot. The lives that they live is
• 1:35:24
  ugly. You will not want to live that
• 1:35:26
  life. They live in fear.
• 1:35:28
  They live in doubt. They have all kinds of They can
• 1:35:31
  have twelve kinds of names around the world, depending on
• 1:35:35
  where they are. That's what they call them
• 1:35:38
  simply because they have to create a system of falsehood,
• 1:35:41
  falsifying everything to survive the blessing of the Lord it
• 1:35:47
  maketh. Rich and added no sorrow with it
• 1:35:52
  are we together? Yes, a heart.
• 1:36:02
  For God. Not the kind of well that comes
• 1:36:06
  at the expense of your salvation.
• 1:36:08
  Not the kind of well that comes at the extent you sacrifice
• 1:36:11
  everything in your life. Family.
• 1:36:14
  There are people who give loved ones, distant relatives, you
• 1:36:18
  know, for rituals, do all kinds of things, for money.
• 1:36:21
  You find this happen. In our world all over, terrible
• 1:36:25
  shouldn't be a heart for God. It is my prayer for you that the
• 1:36:31
  kind of money that will make you leave God.
• 1:36:34
  I am praying this for your sake. May it never get to you.
• 1:36:40
  Hallelujah. Do you know the kind of money
• 1:36:42
  that makes you leave God? The kind of money that makes
• 1:36:45
  church look like a nuisance? I am busy.
• 1:36:49
  The kind of money that makes your family look like an
• 1:36:52
  interruption to your life. One year you've not seen your
• 1:36:56
  wife, you've not seen your children.
• 1:36:58
  You don't care because you are looking for money.
• 1:37:02
  Your children start calling you uncle because they do not know
• 1:37:06
  whether you are their father or not.
• 1:37:07
  I'm not being sarcastic. The kind of world that will
• 1:37:13
  introduce you to groups and demonic satanic fraternities to
• 1:37:18
  now begin to practice all kinds of.
• 1:37:20
  Occultic things, things that are outside of the value that you
• 1:37:25
  were raised by. There are many of us here.
• 1:37:30
  God has brought this world to caution you already because you
• 1:37:34
  are threading parts. You are just seeing everybody
• 1:37:36
  wealthy. Listen, be careful.
• 1:37:38
  Make sure you vet people's relationship with Jesus before
• 1:37:42
  you start clapping for the money they have.
• 1:37:45
  You do not. Know what has died?
• 1:37:48
  There are people who have sacrificed their destinies,
• 1:37:51
  covenanted with Satan. You are just seeing the money.
• 1:37:55
  They may even help you with it. When we teach here about Kingdom
• 1:38:03
  prosperity and deliverance from poverty, we're teaching that
• 1:38:08
  because God is able to bring people out and it.
• 1:38:11
  Is to give you the convenience to be able to serve the purposes
• 1:38:14
  of God with dignity and integrity that God will raise
• 1:38:20
  people in this ministry, multi billionaires in all kinds of
• 1:38:24
  global currencies. And yet you love the Lord time
• 1:38:28
  for worship. Your heart is still inclined.
• 1:38:30
  Do you know there is nothing as powerful as seeing a wealthy man
• 1:38:34
  worship God? That is a sermon on his own that
• 1:38:39
  you see a wealthy man just saying Lord, you are the reason
• 1:38:42
  why I have all that I have. Do you know how many people get
• 1:38:45
  inspired by that worship that if this man who is the director of
• 1:38:49
  this conglomerate, the group general manager, having
• 1:38:53
  everything life can offer from a physical standpoint, can still
• 1:38:56
  roll on the ground before God? You're watching the wife roll on
• 1:39:00
  the ground and the children to roll on the ground.
• 1:39:03
  What are you still standing for? You will join.
• 1:39:05
  Them and roll on the ground too. If God has helped that man, and
• 1:39:08
  he's still. Rolling on the ground.
• 1:39:12
  Remember, the Bible calls us living epistles.
• 1:39:16
  Are we together now? It is a beautiful thing to see
• 1:39:19
  blessed people serve the Lord. That you see somebody who is a
• 1:39:22
  multi millionaire, they are very blessed people that God has
• 1:39:27
  helped in this ministry. Thank God for it.
• 1:39:30
  And sometimes I am humbled seeing how they stretch
• 1:39:33
  themselves to serve the purposes of God.
• 1:39:35
  That is a lesson any kind of world that makes you too.
• 1:39:39
  Big for God is nonsense. It's only a pitch you are
• 1:39:42
  digging so that you went out there.
• 1:39:44
  If Jesus, the King of kings left his throne and he came and he
• 1:39:48
  died for man, there is nobody who will give a flimsy excuse
• 1:39:52
  and say I am too rich to love God.
• 1:39:54
  I am too rich to worship God. I am too rich to serve God.
• 1:40:00
  I pray for you again. That any kind of money, let me
• 1:40:03
  repeat it to your hearing ladies and gentlemen, any kind of
• 1:40:07
  money, financial resources that would take you away from the
• 1:40:11
  Lord Jesus Christ or is already taking you away from the Lord
• 1:40:14
  Jesus Christ. May it live your life
• 1:40:22
  respectfully speaking that includes certain jobs.
• 1:40:26
  There are certain jobs that is an attack on your life and it is
• 1:40:31
  not for me to sit down and impose upon you.
• 1:40:34
  But I can tell you this one thing.
• 1:40:36
  Whatever requires you living Jesus to obtain it is a waste of
• 1:40:41
  your time. Please believe this.
• 1:40:44
  I do not know how men survive without Him.
• 1:40:50
  I do not know how people rise without Him.
• 1:40:54
  There may be many other formulas, but I can only show
• 1:40:57
  you that which the Bible provides and that which by the
• 1:41:01
  grace of God He has made sufficient in our lives.
• 1:41:04
  Let me tell you the truth, Any kind of money that will require
• 1:41:09
  you living Jesus, living prayer, living what?
• 1:41:13
  Study your Christian integrity and your service unto God to
• 1:41:17
  obtain it. I repeat one more time, it is
• 1:41:20
  not worth it. What shall it profit a man if he
• 1:41:24
  gains the whole world? You know how wide this world is,
• 1:41:28
  that by whatever creativity you gain the whole world and then
• 1:41:32
  you lose your soul. I've told him if there is
• 1:41:40
  anything that will ever come to my life in the guise of
• 1:41:44
  blessing, and it will take your place, my passion, and even
• 1:41:48
  distract me from my assignment, may it never arrive.
• 1:41:52
  May it never arrive. And I'm praying that prayer even
• 1:41:55
  as I'm standing here. I don't care what kind of money.
• 1:41:59
  I don't think I'm just speaking nonsense.
• 1:42:01
  No, see, if you don't have convictions, the devil will beat
• 1:42:06
  you into anything. There are some of us
• 1:42:08
  respectfully speaking. I don't mean to insult you, but
• 1:42:11
  we are so cheap. Anything can take you away from
• 1:42:15
  God. Someone can say, well, going to
• 1:42:18
  church, are you going to eat in church?
• 1:42:20
  Sit down there. I will give you 100,000.
• 1:42:23
  And you sit down and award is coming.
• 1:42:25
  A prophetic word is coming that will lift you.
• 1:42:27
  Something will come. Can money break horses?
• 1:42:30
  Can money break yokes? Money can give you a home, but
• 1:42:34
  can it give you peace on its own?
• 1:42:37
  No. We reject the precious things
• 1:42:41
  for mundane things. And then eventually we find out
• 1:42:45
  that we only had shadows. You are everything.
• 1:43:29
  I'm going to sing that song one more time.
• 1:43:31
  Just listen to me. It's a powerful song.
• 1:43:34
  You are the thirst. You are the stream.
• 1:43:41
  You are the hunger leaving deep inside of me.
• 1:43:48
  You are the food. That.
• 1:43:52
  Satisfies you are provision for the journey of my life.
• 1:44:04
  Yes, you are everything. Listen, can you stand in your
• 1:44:13
  office and watch a check of 100,000,001 billion at the
• 1:44:19
  expense of your faith? And you close it and shake the
• 1:44:23
  person and say thank you for your human sincerity.
• 1:44:26
  But I love him more than that and walk away and allow other
• 1:44:30
  people to say you are. Stupid while God says well done,
• 1:44:35
  how many of you today will be able to watch money, cars,
• 1:44:42
  houses that will affect your integrity and.
• 1:44:47
  Watch it and say thank you. I know that you think I will
• 1:44:54
  come and marry you just because of money.
• 1:44:57
  Thank you. I know you're a rich man.
• 1:44:59
  I know you're a great man, but you don't love Jesus.
• 1:45:02
  I've had you insult Jesus. I've had you say a lot of
• 1:45:05
  things. I appreciate your wealth.
• 1:45:06
  I don't downplay it, but I'm, I'm not that cheap.
• 1:45:10
  I am the daughter of Abraham. I appreciate you but I'm on my
• 1:45:15
  way going and other people will say is is your head working
• 1:45:18
  well? God brought such a rich man, it
• 1:45:22
  doesn't matter whether he's a wizard, provided he has money.
• 1:45:25
  Just no. Believers have cheapened
• 1:45:28
  themselves so much. Now I don't downplay, I'm
• 1:45:31
  teaching you on finances and I'm going to pray for you.
• 1:45:34
  But listen to me. For some of you, God is speaking
• 1:45:37
  to you. You need to repent.
• 1:45:39
  Even if it's the devil that says come, once he shows you money,
• 1:45:41
  you're on your way going. You will say Lord, I'm coming
• 1:45:44
  and you're on your way and you'll find yourself in
• 1:45:46
  Hellfire. Please, money is not everything.
• 1:45:50
  Money's important, but Jesus is everything.
• 1:45:55
  You are the thirst, You are the stream.
• 1:46:02
  You are the hunger leaving deep inside of me.
• 1:46:09
  You are the food that satisfies. You are provision for the
• 1:46:19
  journey of my life. Koinonia would rather meet
• 1:46:27
  outside under a tree than to get money by crooks and by pranks.
• 1:46:34
  For as long as I live, and for as long as this ministry serves
• 1:46:39
  Jesus, nobody will manipulate you to get money or dollars or
• 1:46:44
  whatever it is, no. No, no, not under the guise of
• 1:46:49
  anything you will give would challenge you to give, but not
• 1:46:53
  manipulation. Listen, I know.
• 1:46:57
  What you are hearing is uncomfortable, but please just
• 1:46:59
  trust that I love you and that I'm teaching you the truth.
• 1:47:02
  We need to get away, especially, especially our generation of
• 1:47:06
  young people. This this way, we have cheapened
• 1:47:10
  ourselves. All.
• 1:47:11
  Because of money. I can do anything provided you
• 1:47:15
  will pay me. Kill, yes.
• 1:47:17
  Steal yes, destroy, yes. I would join any group.
• 1:47:24
  Remove my heart, remove my brain.
• 1:47:25
  Just give me money. And we think it's not an issue.
• 1:47:32
  A generation that becomes so vulnerable to money, a
• 1:47:36
  generation that worships money, is a generation that will
• 1:47:40
  destroy civilization. I'm telling you, this is what
• 1:47:44
  Satan wants. You see this happening across
• 1:47:47
  the globe and especially in Africa.
• 1:47:49
  I'm sorry to say this, but every bad leader was once a bad child.
• 1:47:55
  They don't just get into government and start being
• 1:47:57
  corrupt. No, it's been a practice.
• 1:48:01
  Corruption from school, malpractice.
• 1:48:04
  And you go Scott free. Am I right on that?
• 1:48:06
  And you, it starts graduating like that until now you sit down
• 1:48:11
  as a board member or whatever and all you are thinking about
• 1:48:15
  how many politicians think about the people they were sent to
• 1:48:19
  serve. They may talk and speak nonsense
• 1:48:22
  on TV, but you know that if you probe sincerely for many.
• 1:48:29
  And I'm not, I'm speaking globally.
• 1:48:34
  We need to have a conscience that loves God.
• 1:48:36
  It matters how the money comes, not just that it comes.
• 1:48:41
  What shall it profit a man if you gain the whole world and
• 1:48:45
  lose your soul? Can I tell you there are many
• 1:48:48
  people who have been lifted by God today because of their heart
• 1:48:51
  for Him. They may not have known much,
• 1:48:54
  but my God, their love for him, it it, it made, it makes it look
• 1:48:58
  unfair if they remain like that. And you see, God will bring
• 1:49:02
  strategic relationships to their life.
• 1:49:05
  Somebody who just shows up for that family and begins to lift
• 1:49:09
  that. Family.
• 1:49:09
  Someone who just shows up for that company and begins to lift
• 1:49:13
  that company. There are people who have almost
• 1:49:15
  zero financial intelligence. They don't have anything, but
• 1:49:18
  the one thing they have is a hat for God.
• 1:49:21
  And you will see that God will bring somebody to say, I've been
• 1:49:25
  instructed by God to come and help your family number.
• 1:49:35
  Two what is the second key to be free from financial captivity?
• 1:49:42
  Mental transformation? The second key, I'm not
• 1:49:47
  discussing it, I'm just writing it.
• 1:49:50
  The the second key, if you are not transformed mentally, ladies
• 1:49:56
  and gentlemen, you will never be sustainably wealthy.
• 1:50:01
  You can be. You can be reach overnight by
• 1:50:07
  someone blessing you, either by favor or relationships.
• 1:50:11
  But sustenance is a product of intelligence and transformation
• 1:50:15
  is the reason why organizations cannot manage their resources.
• 1:50:20
  Families cannot manage their resources.
• 1:50:22
  There are families where the father is walking, the mother is
• 1:50:25
  walking, the children are walking, but they are always in
• 1:50:28
  luck. Something is wrong and the
• 1:50:30
  problem is not just demons. There is a bankruptcy of mental
• 1:50:34
  transformation. And mental transformation is not
• 1:50:37
  a gift. You'll buy the truth.
• 1:50:39
  Are we together. And when you buy the truth, you
• 1:50:42
  use it. You you you you submit to
• 1:50:45
  transformation. The Bible says let this mind be
• 1:50:48
  in you which was also in Christ Jesus mental transformation.
• 1:50:54
  You will never rise even financially above your mindset.
• 1:50:58
  You can receive money. Overnight someone can bless you,
• 1:51:02
  but the sustainability of wealth is a product of mental strength.
• 1:51:07
  The Bible says strong men retain wealth.
• 1:51:10
  I have. Told you here, the easiest part
• 1:51:13
  of wealth is becoming. It.
• 1:51:16
  Retaining wealth is not luck. You can actually have money.
• 1:51:20
  Somebody can bless you, Maybe some inheritance.
• 1:51:24
  You see, favor can walk around for you.
• 1:51:26
  That is why you see, we give testimonies in church, praise
• 1:51:30
  the Lord. Apostle gave a prophetic word,
• 1:51:32
  and somebody just called me out of nowhere and gave me 5 million
• 1:51:36
  congratulations. Now wisdom should continue where
• 1:51:40
  favor has stopped, but because there is no transformation, that
• 1:51:43
  person will celebrate 5 million and still be begging after two
• 1:51:47
  years. We together favor is not the
• 1:51:51
  only thing you need in your life.
• 1:51:53
  It is important controls the arrival of financial resources,
• 1:51:57
  but to be able to manage your entire wealth system, you need a
• 1:52:02
  transformed mind and that will require outsourced intelligence.
• 1:52:07
  Are we together now? Most people do not invest in
• 1:52:10
  strategic mental, you know, mental work to build yourself.
• 1:52:15
  Go and listen to my teachings on mental transformation.
• 1:52:18
  I have taught how mindsets are formed and I have taught you
• 1:52:22
  that there are certain mental traits you need to not only
• 1:52:26
  attract wealth but to sustain it.
• 1:52:28
  For instance, frugality. Frugality is a mindset that
• 1:52:33
  helps you to maintain the wealth that you have.
• 1:52:36
  Are we together it is clear financially that you don't spend
• 1:52:40
  your capital. No, when you spend your capital
• 1:52:43
  it is wrong. What God gives you, what favor
• 1:52:46
  brings his capital and then it is up to wisdom now to provide
• 1:52:51
  strategies for increase what you enjoy and spend and sit on is
• 1:52:56
  that which comes as a result of. Increase and even increase has.
• 1:53:00
  A formula for spending it. When the people came and ate
• 1:53:06
  bread and fish, they littered everywhere and went away.
• 1:53:09
  And Jesus the wise, Jesus the transformed, told them, gather
• 1:53:13
  the crumbs. In other words, just because I
• 1:53:15
  have the power to bring forth. The man who multiplied bread was
• 1:53:20
  attentive to crumbs, and the ones who did not have the power
• 1:53:24
  to attend, they threw their crumbs away, forgetting they'll
• 1:53:28
  be hungry a few hours later. We together.
• 1:53:31
  Frugality is a mindset alone that the quality of making sure
• 1:53:36
  that you cut away wastage from your life.
• 1:53:39
  The presence of abundance is not a license for carelessness.
• 1:53:43
  Many people are too careless. You are in all kinds of groups
• 1:53:48
  that are not profitable to your life, physically and spiritually
• 1:53:51
  cut away from them because it's eating up of your finances,
• 1:53:55
  organizing all kinds of probe of, of, of, of of of activities
• 1:54:00
  that are senseless, completely senseless as far as your future
• 1:54:04
  is concerned. Hallelujah.
• 1:54:08
  There are many of us if we are to be honest.
• 1:54:10
  God has been faithful in terms of inflow financial resources.
• 1:54:14
  It is because of the absence of mental traits like frugality,
• 1:54:20
  mental traits like gratitude, mental traits like honor.
• 1:54:24
  I was sharing with them in Zarya and I said if you develop, if
• 1:54:28
  you cultivate a mindset of honor and gratitude alone, you will
• 1:54:33
  not be poor. Your life will be.
• 1:54:35
  Improved and enhanced. In a way that will surprise you.
• 1:54:39
  Listen, if you are in any kind of relationship and you do you
• 1:54:43
  feel you don't have enough value to contribute, let me tell you
• 1:54:46
  what to bring to the table. Bring gratitude.
• 1:54:49
  And bring honor, it becomes a sufficient contribution in that
• 1:54:54
  relationship that. Means if you cannot provide the
• 1:54:56
  technical skills at the back end of that relationship, provide
• 1:55:01
  gratitude and provide honor. That means you are in a
• 1:55:05
  relationship. Whether a spouse, whether a
• 1:55:07
  business relationship that seems to look one sided.
• 1:55:11
  One person is the one doing the job.
• 1:55:13
  It will remain unfair until you balance it.
• 1:55:16
  Introducing gratitude. I may not have the technical
• 1:55:20
  skills you brought me in this oil and gas company.
• 1:55:23
  I know that I'm not adding anything so much in terms of my
• 1:55:26
  intellectual, you know, capacity, but just to let you
• 1:55:30
  know that I am grateful. Thank you so much for being
• 1:55:33
  attentive to my family. Thank you so much for even
• 1:55:36
  making me a shareholder in this company.
• 1:55:38
  I do not take it for granted. And the board members
• 1:55:41
  unanimously will say retain this guy there.
• 1:55:44
  He may not be contributing anything, but we like him
• 1:55:47
  because you are providing psychology logical support.
• 1:55:50
  That is your value, but where you do not have your intrinsic
• 1:55:55
  technical value and then you now garnish that kind of.
• 1:55:59
  Bad picture with ingratitude and dishonor.
• 1:56:04
  You're on your way out from wherever you are to the realm of
• 1:56:07
  the poor for some of you. As you are listening to me now,
• 1:56:11
  let me challenge you after. I told them again in Zarya over,
• 1:56:15
  over, you know, the weekend. Look for five people in your
• 1:56:20
  life who have been active contributors, even financially
• 1:56:24
  to your life. Send them a very generous,
• 1:56:27
  lavish text expressing your gratitude.
• 1:56:31
  Daddy, thank you. Don't say I didn't ask you to
• 1:56:33
  give back to me. Childish, childish.
• 1:56:35
  Childish. Don't do that or your boss.
• 1:56:38
  Don't say I'm walking. It's not a favor.
• 1:56:41
  It's not whether you like them or not.
• 1:56:43
  That you are responsible and you are matured enough to send a
• 1:56:47
  text. And I've told you how to
• 1:56:49
  communicate gratitude here in Koinonia.
• 1:56:51
  The way you communicate the goal of gratitude is to make the
• 1:56:55
  giver perceive that you are grateful, and it is your your
• 1:56:59
  responsibility to invent every expression that makes the giver
• 1:57:03
  perceive. Until the giver perceives that
• 1:57:06
  you are grateful, you have not yet communicated gratitude.
• 1:57:09
  So for instance, if in your world the only way you say thank
• 1:57:13
  you is one word. Thanks.
• 1:57:15
  You are going to be poor. Are we together?
• 1:57:19
  It is true. Someone gives you a house, you
• 1:57:21
  say. Thanks.
• 1:57:23
  Gives you a car, you say? Thanks.
• 1:57:25
  Pays the school fees of your children.
• 1:57:27
  Thanks. No.
• 1:57:31
  And for people who can disturb, they will send 5 text messages
• 1:57:34
  in 10 minutes just to remind you.
• 1:57:36
  I'm sure you've forgotten. You were saying you would do a
• 1:57:38
  transfer. I know that you are busy.
• 1:57:40
  Can I just remind you again and then when the transfer comes is
• 1:57:44
  by the next day? You know I forgot I saw it.
• 1:57:46
  Thanks. You have closed that door.
• 1:57:50
  And even though it's the year of open doors, you will be
• 1:57:52
  surprised that you use your own hand.
• 1:57:55
  The door that prophecy opened, that you close it and stood at
• 1:57:58
  the back to make sure that door does not open again.
• 1:58:03
  Say Amen. Please do it.
• 1:58:08
  Listen, I will not teach you what will not produce results.
• 1:58:11
  I'm not yet to waste your time to just shout Amen and go back
• 1:58:14
  and return back. No, I want you to return with
• 1:58:16
  testimonies and say apostle. Last week I sent a text to
• 1:58:20
  someone who I worked for, I worked for in 20 maybe
• 1:58:25
  20/18/2017 and I just sent him a text Sir, just to appreciate
• 1:58:31
  you. I was inspired in church today
• 1:58:33
  and I thought to just just. Reminiscing on your kindness
• 1:58:38
  through the years and this is me expressing my heartfelt
• 1:58:41
  gratitude. The Lord bless you.
• 1:58:43
  I still recall your kindness. The Lord increase you the next
• 1:58:47
  time you hear a call by 11:30. Where have you been?
• 1:58:50
  Are you now walking? No Sir.
• 1:58:52
  Come and see me tomorrow. That's it.
• 1:58:58
  You can drop your prayer request on the ground and dance around
• 1:59:00
  it. That's a spiritual principle,
• 1:59:02
  Praise and the rest. But if that is the only thing
• 1:59:05
  you do, you may be disappointed. Remember, they are called forces
• 1:59:09
  of advantage, not one force. So when you isolate one, maybe
• 1:59:13
  just the power of praise. You see that how do you now link
• 1:59:17
  up with the person who should help you Some of you I'm
• 1:59:22
  business partnerships you can take the time convey a meeting
• 1:59:27
  you are not necessarily discussing anything around the
• 1:59:29
  business. I just want to appreciate you
• 1:59:32
  and subordinates Don't sit down and be waiting all all leaders
• 1:59:36
  and superiors Don't wait for your subordinates to say thank
• 1:59:39
  you alone. Humble yourself and tell your
• 1:59:42
  people thank you. Whether you are a pastor, a
• 1:59:44
  father can tell his wife and children thank you.
• 1:59:46
  Am I right on that A leader is CEO of an organization.
• 1:59:51
  Don't say it is my company. The Lord gave the Word, but
• 1:59:54
  great was the company of them that published it.
• 1:59:59
  Success is a composite of many factors, and you must appreciate
• 2:00:02
  the several units that contribute to that success.
• 2:00:06
  And do it. Do it.
• 2:00:09
  Consistently thank you so much. I just called for this meeting
• 2:00:16
  to appreciate all of you. This company has experienced
• 2:00:20
  astronomical growth. We still have a lot of
• 2:00:22
  milestones, but I thought it was very responsible.
• 2:00:26
  I was inspired to call all of you together.
• 2:00:28
  I appreciate you. You mentioned the units 1 by 1,
• 2:00:31
  and you see the people trying to be serious and trying to laugh.
• 2:00:34
  They can't. Believe that their boss is the
• 2:00:37
  person who is saying thank you. They can't believe that their
• 2:00:39
  superior is the one appreciating them.
• 2:00:42
  Let somebody talk nonsense about you, and that's when you would
• 2:00:45
  know that you have stuff indeed. Because that gratitude.
• 2:00:49
  That gratitude. Plans a jealousy for you in them
• 2:00:53
  that beyond the salary or whatever system of reward you
• 2:00:56
  are communicating to them, their love for you becomes concretized
• 2:01:01
  by your communicating gratitude. Same thing with fathers.
• 2:01:05
  Sometimes you just. Call the workers within your
• 2:01:07
  house or wherever and say just to tell you thank you.
• 2:01:10
  Do you know you can give gifts and yet not express gratitude?
• 2:01:14
  It is not all about giving money or giving things.
• 2:01:17
  That communication articulates your gratitude.
• 2:01:21
  If it's an assignment I'm giving you, you have passed.
• 2:01:23
  Or go back and do it for your leaders.
• 2:01:25
  Don't do it every day. Be consistent, but don't do it
• 2:01:28
  every day. Otherwise, there is a generation
• 2:01:32
  you are going to produce an entitled generation.
• 2:01:35
  That's the mostest kind of generation.
• 2:01:39
  By the time you over pamper people, you take away that
• 2:01:43
  that's stamina from them. They become children, ever
• 2:01:46
  dependent. And they feel entitled, but
• 2:01:49
  there is a healthy interjection of Thanksgiving, especially from
• 2:01:53
  superiors. Do this as a man of God.
• 2:01:57
  Gather your pastors who label your workers and let them know
• 2:02:01
  that you appreciate them. It's not about money, it's about
• 2:02:04
  your heart. And watch what happens and.
• 2:02:06
  Teach your people Koinonia Global.
• 2:02:09
  I will teach you gratitude until you get it.
• 2:02:12
  I I am a recipient of the power of gratitude.
• 2:02:19
  Someone will always remember you.
• 2:02:21
  This man is a grateful man. Who do we look for to be the
• 2:02:24
  Nigerian representative of this company?
• 2:02:28
  Well, he doesn't have that kind of qualification.
• 2:02:30
  But remember that the job that we're running is very social and
• 2:02:34
  we need somebody who has this kind of people skill.
• 2:02:37
  This man has a very warm countenance.
• 2:02:40
  He's a grateful person and you'll be surprised you will
• 2:02:43
  stand there just looking at your qualification without learning
• 2:02:47
  all of these things and having the right mental construct.
• 2:02:50
  Someone who may not be able to speak English very well, but he
• 2:02:53
  knows how to say thank you very well.
• 2:02:55
  That's the person. Who keeps going forward?
• 2:02:57
  If you believe what I've said, shout Amen.
• 2:03:02
  Let me hurry up #3 how do you get free from financial
• 2:03:09
  captivity? Productivity.
• 2:03:11
  Write it, please. The third key is productivity.
• 2:03:15
  Productivity as a man of God, you must be productive.
• 2:03:18
  What does it mean to be productive, to be able to
• 2:03:21
  package your value, your contemplation?
• 2:03:23
  You know, I have defended most people think that men of God do
• 2:03:27
  not know anything about money from a from a reward standpoint,
• 2:03:31
  whether you are a preacher or you are a businessman, from a
• 2:03:34
  value standpoint, you are doing the same thing when you bring
• 2:03:38
  value that is packaged with excellence and served to a
• 2:03:42
  targeted consumer base. Even though in in the case of
• 2:03:46
  ministry, ward ministry, you are not selling the value for a
• 2:03:49
  price. You are motivated by your law
• 2:03:51
  for Jesus. But the law of compensation
• 2:03:54
  demands that every time you dispense value that a reward
• 2:03:58
  must be credited to you. Whether it comes as
• 2:04:01
  transactional wealth or transformational wealth, in
• 2:04:05
  either ways there will eventually be a reward.
• 2:04:08
  System. So if you're a man of God, you
• 2:04:10
  don't need to manipulate people. Once you dispense value in
• 2:04:13
  truth, it becomes impossible. The people whose lives are
• 2:04:17
  changing are not too greedy. Give them time to grow.
• 2:04:21
  Let the truths that you are teaching them.
• 2:04:23
  Let them discern that you love them with all your heart.
• 2:04:27
  Let me tell you something I have learned from Scripture and even
• 2:04:29
  from. Experience can I tell you if
• 2:04:31
  you're a man of God yes a powerful secret don't burden
• 2:04:34
  members with trying to give you money and do teach them pour
• 2:04:38
  your. Heart.
• 2:04:39
  Let them see the heart of a shepherd, let them see the heart
• 2:04:42
  of a Father, and then allow them surprise you.
• 2:04:45
  They will surprise you indeed. Are we together?
• 2:04:50
  Because you see, they are giving to you will be based on their
• 2:04:53
  perception of your worth. So one person can give you a
• 2:04:58
  car, another person can give you even an estate.
• 2:05:01
  And think that it is not too much as far as the value you
• 2:05:05
  brought for them is concerned. Say productivity in the name of
• 2:05:09
  Jesus. I decree and declare that
• 2:05:11
  everyone under the sound of my voice becomes productive from.
• 2:05:15
  Today. Productivity is not about
• 2:05:18
  business. Productivity is about getting to
• 2:05:22
  a point of competence and excellence.
• 2:05:24
  If you are a preacher, do your homework, Learn the scriptures,
• 2:05:28
  put your notes together, your presentation and your
• 2:05:32
  communication. Make sure that everything is put
• 2:05:34
  in place. That is productivity.
• 2:05:37
  You are selling something. Be productive, package
• 2:05:40
  everything, clean up the environment, be welcoming.
• 2:05:44
  You have a company. Make sure you brand your impact.
• 2:05:48
  Impact cannot be rewarded. Except it is branded.
• 2:05:52
  You see? Do you go to the hospital?
• 2:05:56
  Do you go to the hospital to eat food?
• 2:05:58
  To buy food? No, because the hospital is so
• 2:06:01
  branded to let you know that it is a place to attend to your
• 2:06:05
  medical needs. Do you go to the filling station
• 2:06:08
  to buy groceries? I mean generally I'm standing in
• 2:06:11
  front of a pump. No, because it is so branded.
• 2:06:14
  Your impact must be branded to the point that those who need
• 2:06:18
  you know you are there if God has granted.
• 2:06:21
  You a healing grace. Let the people know that He has
• 2:06:23
  placed that grace upon your life.
• 2:06:25
  God has granted you the grace for leadership and
• 2:06:27
  entrepreneurship. You have to.
• 2:06:29
  Brand. Yourself intelligently.
• 2:06:31
  Productivity #4 strategic relationships.
• 2:06:39
  I've spoken extensively about that.
• 2:06:41
  That is the fourth key to being free from financial captivity.
• 2:06:45
  Have at least one or two people in your life for a start.
• 2:06:48
  And if there's nobody strategic in your life, let me tell you
• 2:06:51
  the 1st place to start. Begin by praying.
• 2:06:54
  Then begin by walking on your character.
• 2:06:56
  Two things. Begin by praying and walking on
• 2:06:59
  your character. My Bible says he that one's
• 2:07:01
  friends will never have. So accept you.
• 2:07:04
  You show yourself friendly. Go and learn people's skills.
• 2:07:09
  Years ago, I was so blessed and inspired reading Dale Carnegie's
• 2:07:14
  book How to Win Friends and Influence People, one of those
• 2:07:17
  materials that shaped my understanding as far as
• 2:07:21
  understanding people's skills is concerned.
• 2:07:23
  Until today, even as a man of God, I submit myself across all
• 2:07:28
  the faculties of my life to build knowledge.
• 2:07:31
  I am a student of knowledge and unrepentant student of
• 2:07:35
  knowledge. Hallelujah, Don't say I know.
• 2:07:40
  Yesterday's excellence is today's mediocrity.
• 2:07:43
  Find out what it takes to have to retain and improve upon
• 2:07:49
  valuable relationships. Finally, there is the power to
• 2:07:53
  prosper. You must search for it and find
• 2:07:57
  it. The power to prosper What is the
• 2:08:02
  power to prosper is a supernatural embracing.
• 2:08:06
  It is a dimension of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, a
• 2:08:09
  supernatural embracing that comes upon your spirit and comes
• 2:08:14
  upon your mind. You see comes upon your spirit
• 2:08:21
  comes upon your mind, granting you the ability to provide
• 2:08:25
  supernatural solutions. Supernatural solutions, be it in
• 2:08:31
  ministry, be it in business. The assignment of the power to
• 2:08:35
  get wealth is that your spirit man is empowered by it.
• 2:08:39
  Your mind is empowered by it. Consequently, the quality of the
• 2:08:43
  actions and the decisions that you take that culminates to
• 2:08:47
  superior results and when you produce superior results, then
• 2:08:52
  it attracts financial blessings alongside many other kinds of
• 2:08:56
  benefits. This is the power to definition
• 2:08:58
  no, the power to prosper has its jurisdiction.
• 2:09:02
  It has an assignment. It empowers your spirit man.
• 2:09:06
  It empowers your mind, consequently guiding you to take
• 2:09:11
  superior actions, make superior decisions that make you a
• 2:09:16
  solution provider, a supernatural solution provider.
• 2:09:23
  You know that the power to get. Wealth is upon.
• 2:09:26
  You. When nothing happens.
• 2:09:28
  Naturally, again, preaching becomes supernatural business.
• 2:09:32
  Becomes supernatural. Are we together?
• 2:09:34
  The communication and the transmission of your value
• 2:09:37
  becomes supernatural. And listen to me, that is one of
• 2:09:41
  the things. You are about.
• 2:09:42
  To receive right now the power to prosper it.
• 2:09:46
  Is truly is is a is the icing to the cake.
• 2:09:51
  Just declaring the power to prosper upon people not having
• 2:09:55
  this foundation will be like pouring water through a basket.
• 2:09:59
  You see that now the problem is not the water.
• 2:10:02
  The problem is there is no retainer ship from the basket
• 2:10:05
  because there are gaps. The assignment of all that I've
• 2:10:08
  dealt with is to close those gaps so that when the anointing
• 2:10:12
  rests upon you now you see it is supported by all of this
• 2:10:17
  knowledge that you have gotten there is impossible to listen to
• 2:10:21
  what I have said and. Understand what I've said and
• 2:10:25
  act upon. What I've said and then remain
• 2:10:27
  in poverty. No, you may not overnight
• 2:10:31
  suddenly become a billionaire. But I assure you, you.
• 2:10:34
  Can come out of. That grave, that grave of
• 2:10:37
  poverty, that grave of luck, that grave of begging left,
• 2:10:41
  right and center. I submit to you with every sense
• 2:10:45
  of humility. You ignore what I've.
• 2:10:47
  Said tonight it will. Be to the detriment of the
• 2:10:49
  quality of your life, including finances, because the Kingdom
• 2:10:53
  does not work on superstition. These systems are exact.
• 2:10:57
  They are not my opinions. The things that we have seen,
• 2:11:01
  the things that we have heard, the things our hands have.
• 2:11:04
  Handled even of the word of life, the apostle said that that
• 2:11:07
  is what we preach. You have not learned tonight
• 2:11:10
  cunningly devised fables. You're not learning theory that
• 2:11:13
  was downloaded from a book. You're not learning the thoughts
• 2:11:16
  of 1 philosopher somewhere distilled with verses and
• 2:11:20
  communicated. No, by the grace of God, we may
• 2:11:25
  not have everything. But we have something enough to
• 2:11:28
  be. Able to say this is proof that
• 2:11:30
  this. Works Hallelujah when God
• 2:11:34
  reminded me of this and. Put this burden in my heart.
• 2:11:38
  I knew. That it was important.
• 2:11:39
  To share this that financial captivity is a yoke is a 'cause
• 2:11:44
  it should not be in the life of a believer.
• 2:11:46
  And for as long as you keep magnifying financial captivity
• 2:11:50
  and magnifying poverty and giving it a position in your
• 2:11:54
  life through ignorance, as though this were an impossible
• 2:11:57
  mountain to to surmount. You can surmount lack and
• 2:12:02
  financial limitation financial captivity using these keys.
• 2:12:07
  They are. Many others, but this is
• 2:12:09
  sufficient the assignment of this is to bring you out of the
• 2:12:12
  grave. Are we together that you can
• 2:12:17
  give your wife your? Husband your children.
• 2:12:20
  Your. Company A quality.
• 2:12:22
  Life that people should not sit down and regret as door cursed
• 2:12:26
  simply because they came out of your loins or they came out of
• 2:12:29
  your lineage. There are many of us right now.
• 2:12:31
  Your past is mad with all kinds of not too good stories and most
• 2:12:37
  of them have been credited to financial captivity.
• 2:12:41
  It's LED you into all kinds of lifestyles.
• 2:12:44
  It's LED you into all kinds of things that are testimonies you
• 2:12:48
  do not want to think about. But the Lord is bringing
• 2:12:52
  deliverance tonight. Now hear me as we begin to pray,
• 2:12:59
  I will rebuke the spirit of poverty.
• 2:13:03
  The Spirit of. Poverty is a spirit that is
• 2:13:07
  assigned to individuals. The assignment Watch this the
• 2:13:11
  assignment of the spirit of poverty is to study the extent
• 2:13:15
  of your ignorance. And to build systems around your
• 2:13:19
  ignorance that stop you from making financial progress.
• 2:13:23
  Let me repeat, the assignment of the spirit of poverty is to
• 2:13:28
  study the level of your ignorance.
• 2:13:30
  The Bible says no weapon fashioned against us.
• 2:13:34
  Weapons are fashioned. Are we together?
• 2:13:37
  So when the devil comes sending the spirit of poverty, he does
• 2:13:40
  not just attack because poverty, like prosperity is, is an
• 2:13:45
  effect. It's not a cause, so it doesn't
• 2:13:48
  make sense to say Satan stop finances to come to you.
• 2:13:51
  It's a it's a reaction. What he does is to study your
• 2:13:55
  whole financial understanding or otherwise, and he now begins to
• 2:14:00
  build systems either through pride or through laziness.
• 2:14:05
  Are we together or stopping you from having strategic
• 2:14:08
  relationships. Everything that can be designed
• 2:14:11
  to stop you from accessing the keys that bring you out.
• 2:14:15
  That is the assignment of the spirit of poverty.
• 2:14:18
  It now becomes a stronghold upon your mind and upon your destiny,
• 2:14:23
  making the Word of God of non effect.
• 2:14:27
  So when you are bringing deliverance to an individual
• 2:14:30
  preaching deliverance, what you are doing is opening their eyes
• 2:14:34
  to see, but that influence is still there.
• 2:14:37
  This is where the assignment of the power of God comes to
• 2:14:40
  dislodge that spirit influence. This is what you call
• 2:14:44
  generational causes. This is what you call familiar
• 2:14:47
  spirits. They and you know because
• 2:14:49
  listen, spirits don't die. So you can think that because
• 2:14:54
  your Father is 7080 or you are 4030 twenty, those spirits do
• 2:14:59
  not feel the effect of the longevity of time.
• 2:15:02
  They stay there and they remain until the Savior arises.
• 2:15:07
  I repeat until the Savior arises, not until time.
• 2:15:11
  Passes. And could it be that you are
• 2:15:14
  that savior whilst you are listening to me?
• 2:15:17
  Thank God. That you still have a chance to
• 2:15:20
  make this right. And for some of you who are
• 2:15:22
  fortunate to still have your loved ones, God is giving you an
• 2:15:25
  opportunity right now that you can correct a lot of things.
• 2:15:29
  There are many of you who have never supported the cause of the
• 2:15:33
  Kingdom with your finances. Not because you do not want to.
• 2:15:36
  It is not even there. There are many pastors today
• 2:15:38
  burdened with all kinds of financial yokes.
• 2:15:43
  The discussion largely is money not giving you room to serve God
• 2:15:47
  with the dignity of integrity. Hallelujah, statistics tell us
• 2:15:53
  that. The top three?
• 2:15:55
  Reasons why divorce happens in marriage is number One Financial
• 2:16:02
  issues. Are we together #2?
• 2:16:04
  Issues between spouse and then #3 External factors.
• 2:16:08
  Statistic tells us that these are the top three reasons.
• 2:16:10
  Number one, money and financial issues.
• 2:16:16
  And don't say it does not matter.
• 2:16:18
  There are people right now. Who have not received their
• 2:16:20
  salaries for a few months. And their children are back
• 2:16:23
  home. When others are going to school,
• 2:16:25
  they will not go. The fact that those children
• 2:16:27
  cannot make progress already begins to plant complex in them,
• 2:16:31
  ready tools for the spirit of poverty to come.
• 2:16:34
  He will now start suggesting lifestyles and suggesting all
• 2:16:37
  kinds of things. Are we together?
• 2:16:41
  There are some of us right now when you started your.
• 2:16:43
  Work with God. You chose the.
• 2:16:45
  Path of integrity and character. And right now you look back and
• 2:16:49
  you are not even happy about what is happening.
• 2:16:53
  Because your hands have been mad in all kinds of wrong things.
• 2:16:57
  All. Credited to the absence of
• 2:16:59
  finance, but we're going to pray the Lord has brought us this
• 2:17:03
  word and it's time for you to be.
• 2:17:04
  Free. If you believe that, shout
• 2:17:06
  aloud. Amen, This is my assignment.
• 2:17:12
  And I will do. It with diligence, I will pray,
• 2:17:14
  I will speak. Over your life and sit with that
• 2:17:17
  no weapon fashion against you. It is not the economy that
• 2:17:22
  controls your resources. It is your understanding.
• 2:17:25
  It is this forces at work in you Ladies and gentlemen, government
• 2:17:29
  will come and go. The Great Recession once
• 2:17:32
  happened in the globe. Every kind of there are circles
• 2:17:35
  of recession that will always happen.
• 2:17:38
  You will always find corrupt leaders.
• 2:17:40
  You will find honest leaders. You will find find godly
• 2:17:42
  leaders. You will find satanic leaders.
• 2:17:45
  Interchange hands through the years.
• 2:17:47
  Believing that a government will magically come and make you
• 2:17:50
  prosperous is being ignorant. Your prosperity is defined by
• 2:17:55
  the sum total of your understanding.
• 2:17:58
  Are we together? Daniel was.
• 2:18:02
  A believer in the God. Of heaven, who reigned through
• 2:18:06
  the dispensation. About of about four to seven
• 2:18:09
  kings, Bible history tells us none of those kings could take
• 2:18:13
  him out of relevance because he found the key.
• 2:18:17
  He was not yet to look for money, yet he never.
• 2:18:19
  Lacked. Regardless the government, he
• 2:18:21
  was still prosperous. Hallelujah.
• 2:18:26
  Give your destiny a chance. To be blessed.
• 2:18:30
  And let me wrap up by saying. This the purpose of financial
• 2:18:34
  blessings. Like I have taught you, money
• 2:18:36
  has a three fold assignment in the life of the believer #1
• 2:18:41
  financial resources empower you to live a comfortable life.
• 2:18:45
  Never forget that you will never live a comfortable life in
• 2:18:48
  poverty. And by the way, poverty does not
• 2:18:51
  glorify God. The Bible says if you've been
• 2:18:53
  evil, know how to give good gifts to your children.
• 2:18:56
  How much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to
• 2:18:59
  them that ask him? God will not use poverty and
• 2:19:02
  twist your hand and curse your children to teach you a lesson.
• 2:19:05
  There are more superior ways to guide you and teach you a lesson
• 2:19:09
  and build you and train you. Are we together now #2 The
• 2:19:13
  second assignment of wealth, prosperity and abundance listen
• 2:19:18
  carefully is for Kingdom advance so that you can make your
• 2:19:23
  contribution as far as. Supplying.
• 2:19:26
  Financial resources for Kingdom activities is concerned.
• 2:19:30
  The walk of the Lord does not just depend on anointing and
• 2:19:34
  grace. And doctrine.
• 2:19:35
  It depends on the availability of financial resources
• 2:19:39
  communicated from and through willing hearts who are
• 2:19:42
  prosperous. That means the.
• 2:19:44
  More people prosper, genuinely, the more.
• 2:19:47
  Resources can be made available. For financial, for, for Kingdom
• 2:19:51
  activities, and then #3 the last.
• 2:19:54
  Purpose of wealth and financial resources is to empower you so
• 2:19:59
  that you can be a blessing to a dying world in a definite and a
• 2:20:04
  practical way. Listen carefully.
• 2:20:06
  Remember that you are not just. Empowered just for Christians
• 2:20:10
  alone. There are many people dying out
• 2:20:12
  there. There is a world that needs to
• 2:20:14
  see an extension of the love of Jesus beyond prejudices of
• 2:20:18
  religion and all of that. And financial prosperity
• 2:20:22
  empowers you to be a blessing. Unfortunately, unbelievers are
• 2:20:26
  doing this by far better than believers.
• 2:20:29
  By far better than believers. You look at the ratio of charity
• 2:20:33
  organizations constructively empowering the poor, feeding the
• 2:20:38
  hungry. Clothing the naked ward.
• 2:20:41
  Jesus said if you. Do it is called pure religion.
• 2:20:44
  Those who have not professed Jesus are the ones doing it by
• 2:20:47
  far better than believers. And we have a role to play as
• 2:20:53
  far as making our contribution. Is concerned this is the
• 2:20:56
  threefold. Purpose of wealth for a
• 2:20:58
  believer. Anything outside this?
• 2:21:01
  You're pushing yourself to the corridors of waste, regret and
• 2:21:04
  compromise. Can we pray now?
• 2:21:07
  Please rise up on your feet. There are just.
• 2:21:14
  Three prayer points. We're going to pray and I speak
• 2:21:17
  over your life the 1st. Prayer point is you're going to
• 2:21:20
  ask for. Grace please make sure you
• 2:21:22
  participate in the prayer, the grace to imbibe this that you
• 2:21:27
  have learnt in your spirit so that it.
• 2:21:29
  Works for you please. Lift your voice.
• 2:21:31
  And begin to talk to the Lord everywhere.
• 2:21:33
  Outside connecting online, lift your voice and begin to pray.
• 2:21:40
  Sati baka chabrande gebereko siata.
• 2:21:43
  La kasupras, the Bible says now. That you know these things, it
• 2:21:47
  says happy are you if you do them now that you know these
• 2:21:49
  things, Happy are you if you do them now that you know these.
• 2:21:52
  Things. Happy are you?
• 2:21:54
  If. You do them now that you know
• 2:21:56
  these things, happy are. You if you.
• 2:21:59
  Do them in the name of Jesus. Someone is praying.
• 2:22:02
  Open up your heart and cry to the God of heaven.
• 2:22:07
  I declare that I am a doer of the world.
• 2:22:09
  The things that. Make.
• 2:22:11
  For poverty. I obtain grace to make quality.
• 2:22:14
  Decisions. That close these doors from my
• 2:22:17
  life, close these doors from my church, close these doors from
• 2:22:21
  my business. I am ready to be empowered.
• 2:22:24
  The problem is not the recession.
• 2:22:26
  The problem is not the the the the the the the economy of the
• 2:22:30
  nations. Hallelujah. #2 I'd like you to
• 2:22:39
  pray that the spirit of poverty that.
• 2:22:43
  Spirit that. Has taken advantage of ignorance
• 2:22:46
  or incomplete knowledge and is praying over your finances.
• 2:22:50
  Praying over your family's finances.
• 2:22:53
  Are likely to declare and declare that by the blood of the
• 2:22:56
  eternal covenant, it stops from this night.
• 2:22:59
  Is someone praying? Open your mouth and pray.
• 2:23:02
  Do not allow yourself continuing luck and want.
• 2:23:05
  It is not the will of God and it is totally unnecessary.
• 2:23:10
  Totally unnecessary. Not with the abundance of
• 2:23:14
  knowledge that you have access to someone.
• 2:23:19
  Pray. I rebuke the Spirit.
• 2:23:21
  Of poverty, whether it has been. Generational In the name of
• 2:23:26
  Jesus, we decree and declare. You will not find a place in my
• 2:23:30
  life you pray you will not. Find a place in my.
• 2:23:33
  Children, pray you will not find a place in my spouse, not in my
• 2:23:37
  company, not in the ministry God has given someone is praying in
• 2:23:42
  the name of Jesus Christ all the decisions that are pro poverty I
• 2:23:48
  come. Against you and the.
• 2:23:50
  Spirit that influences my attitude.
• 2:23:53
  The spirit that influences my decisions, praying upon my
• 2:23:57
  ignorance. The Lord rebuke you in the name
• 2:24:01
  of Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 2:24:06
  A. Final prayer point, and then it
• 2:24:09
  will be my turn to pray for you. I'd like you to pray.
• 2:24:12
  There is the power to get wealth.
• 2:24:14
  Yes there is. There truly is the power to get
• 2:24:18
  wealth. Please do not take serious
• 2:24:20
  anybody who tells you there is no anointing that prosperous
• 2:24:23
  people there is the power to get wealth.
• 2:24:27
  Let God be true and all men liars.
• 2:24:29
  You're going to pray. Father, I've been imparted, I've
• 2:24:32
  been anointed before, but the power to get wealth, let it rest
• 2:24:36
  upon my life. Now open your mouth and pray the
• 2:24:39
  power to get wealth. God is able to empower man He's
• 2:24:43
  able. To provide his supernatural and
• 2:24:46
  gracing upon your spirit and your mind that causes you to be
• 2:24:51
  extraordinary in producing results.
• 2:24:54
  Results that make you extremely valuable.
• 2:24:57
  Results that attracts resources to you.
• 2:25:01
  Results that connects. You to the heart of men, and
• 2:25:04
  help us. Someone pray.
• 2:25:09
  Someone pray. You are about to receive.
• 2:25:20
  In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, let me speak over
• 2:25:26
  your life now. Father, in the name of Jesus.
• 2:25:32
  I decree and declare. You gave me this instruction.
• 2:25:36
  To bring this prophetic. Word as a deliverance in the
• 2:25:39
  name of Jesus. I decree and declare that mantle
• 2:25:43
  and that grace that makes for wealth that took ordinary people
• 2:25:48
  in Scripture and even ordinary people in our day-to-day and has
• 2:25:52
  exalted them, bringing beauty for ashes and joy for mourning.
• 2:25:57
  I decree and declare. May that grace rest upon you
• 2:26:00
  now. May that grace rest.
• 2:26:04
  Upon you now. Rest upon your business.
• 2:26:09
  Rest upon your ministry. Rest upon your household, rest
• 2:26:15
  upon your career. In the name of Jesus Christ, by
• 2:26:22
  reason of disgrace, I speak. Prophetically over you.
• 2:26:27
  That everything that represents the shame and the reproach
• 2:26:30
  connected to poverty. I declare that it dies over your
• 2:26:35
  life. Now every family.
• 2:26:41
  Here that has never experienced genuine.
• 2:26:44
  Prosperity is always from poverty to poverty.
• 2:26:48
  You saw those before you, you saw your parents, some of you
• 2:26:52
  right now, and you're about transferring the same to your
• 2:26:55
  children in the name of Jesus. May this anointing intercepts
• 2:26:59
  that progression, intercepts that progression in the name of
• 2:27:04
  Jesus Christ, the Bible says. And Jabez was more honorable
• 2:27:09
  than his. Brethren, it was not always so.
• 2:27:12
  Every failed business here, every dead or dying business I
• 2:27:17
  decree and declare. May help us show up and lift you
• 2:27:20
  back. May help us show up and lift you
• 2:27:23
  back. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 2:27:28
  hear me one of the assignments of the spirit of poverty I will
• 2:27:33
  discuss. That when we take the.
• 2:27:35
  Financial series proper, but one of the assignments.
• 2:27:38
  Of the. Spirit of poverty, please listen
• 2:27:39
  to me is to make you run into debt, one of the major
• 2:27:44
  strategies of crippling your finances.
• 2:27:48
  Is to make you get into debt. Now I know from an economic
• 2:27:51
  standpoint, there is good debt, there's bad.
• 2:27:54
  Debt. They say there is good debt that
• 2:27:56
  can be used as a leverage, you know, and bad debt for fueling
• 2:27:59
  consumption. I'm not downplaying your
• 2:28:02
  knowledge. That is important, according.
• 2:28:04
  To your faith, but let me tell you the most superior ways to
• 2:28:07
  not be in debt. For the Bible says Oh no man,
• 2:28:10
  nothing but love. It is a possibility according to
• 2:28:14
  your faith. You believe in that?
• 2:28:17
  No. Problem the wisdom to.
• 2:28:18
  Manage whatever you receive. Now, I'm speaking largely
• 2:28:21
  personally. I know that corporately, many
• 2:28:23
  times people would need help from institutions to execute
• 2:28:25
  large projects. That is corporate I'm talking
• 2:28:28
  about. There is no reason why you
• 2:28:31
  should get into debt. Personally, it's a terrible
• 2:28:33
  thing because let me tell you what happens.
• 2:28:35
  This spirit constrains you and then it forces you to start
• 2:28:39
  borrowing money until it becomes an addiction.
• 2:28:42
  And every time you borrow money, it was scheduled activities to
• 2:28:46
  make sure that money was never used for the reason why it was
• 2:28:49
  borrowed. So interest begins to pile up
• 2:28:52
  while. There is no achievement that
• 2:28:54
  should bring you that profit. There are many churches today
• 2:28:57
  that are in debt. There are many supposed wealthy
• 2:29:02
  people today that are in debt. There are many.
• 2:29:05
  You are not free if you are in debt because it sustains the
• 2:29:09
  ability to stop you from sleeping.
• 2:29:11
  The. Moment you.
• 2:29:12
  Have abundance plus time plus peace.
• 2:29:16
  You are truly wealthy. These three things must happen
• 2:29:19
  for wealth to be established. If the only thing you have is
• 2:29:22
  abundance of financial resources, even if you have
• 2:29:25
  systems, the goal of these systems is to allow you the time
• 2:29:30
  and then peace, resources, time, peace.
• 2:29:35
  That is Kingdom wealth, That is true financial dominion, that
• 2:29:39
  tripartite coexistence of wealth, time and peace, because
• 2:29:45
  these are the three most expensive commodities.
• 2:29:49
  If you lose time and peace, whatever else you got.
• 2:29:53
  By losing them was. A bad bargain are we together?
• 2:29:59
  Praise the name of the Lord. So the spirit of poverty.
• 2:30:02
  Has made many. Of us, some of us right now
• 2:30:04
  probably are in debt of thousands, millions, billions,
• 2:30:09
  and you want to get into more? No.
• 2:30:11
  Every time people got into debt from scripture, it was the
• 2:30:14
  prophetic that brought them out. The prophetic is mandated with
• 2:30:19
  the responsibility of rescue, particularly from financial
• 2:30:22
  debt. At last, master, it was
• 2:30:25
  borrowed. It was prophecy that.
• 2:30:27
  Brought it out the woman who was.
• 2:30:29
  Owing. You know the Prophet who died
• 2:30:31
  and left his wife in debt. The Prophet said go and borrow
• 2:30:36
  vessels, not oil. To borrow means.
• 2:30:39
  To plead from people. Just.
• 2:30:41
  Bring it. And the Bible says he filled it
• 2:30:43
  and he said. Go and sell it and now give you
• 2:30:47
  know, pay off your debt and live off the rest the.
• 2:30:50
  First thing the Prophet told. The woman to do when you are
• 2:30:52
  blessed is pay off your debt because you can't live in peace
• 2:30:56
  when you have debt. That was a prophet's
• 2:30:58
  recommendation. Are we together?
• 2:31:02
  So I want to pray for you. If you are in any kind.
• 2:31:05
  Of financial situation of debt, whether personally, as a family
• 2:31:11
  or corporately. In the name of Jesus, please
• 2:31:14
  believe this prophecy between now.
• 2:31:16
  And December 2023, I prophecy upon you, come out of that debt,
• 2:31:24
  come out of that financial situation.
• 2:31:27
  Come out of that financial situation in the name of Jesus.
• 2:31:31
  Christ. How will it happen?
• 2:31:36
  Apostle Very. Simple, the Ministry of Men.
• 2:31:40
  There is no magic as to how people come out of debt.
• 2:31:43
  It is always the. Ministry of Men.
• 2:31:45
  God will send men disguise as systems, disguise as
• 2:31:50
  relationships. It is.
• 2:31:52
  Yours to now discern and be ready when it comes.
• 2:31:57
  You don't come out of debt by superstition.
• 2:31:59
  When? Prophecy is released as it was
• 2:32:02
  over Samaria. The next thing was men even.
• 2:32:05
  If there are lepers, they will be the ones to use to rescue
• 2:32:08
  Samaria. Every time prophecy comes, start
• 2:32:11
  paying attention to men. They will come with business
• 2:32:14
  ideas. They will come with superior
• 2:32:17
  projects. They will come with their well
• 2:32:19
  wishes just to bail you out. It's show of kindness.
• 2:32:25
  Or they will come. Somebody can.
• 2:32:26
  Just bless you. Oh, Apostle.
• 2:32:28
  I'm owing 30 million and God give someone an instruction.
• 2:32:31
  I will not give you money, but I give you one of my properties as
• 2:32:35
  a gift. You value that property and they
• 2:32:36
  say it's 80 million. You are out of debt already.
• 2:32:39
  It's up to you. Now let me tell you one of the
• 2:32:42
  major ways that God brings. People out of debt is through
• 2:32:48
  the power of land and its resources.
• 2:32:51
  Because it is very difficult for somebody to come and give you
• 2:32:55
  1,000,000, but he can give you a slice of the earth.
• 2:32:58
  And the Bible says out of the earth comes increase.
• 2:33:01
  He says the increase of the earth is for.
• 2:33:03
  All. He never said the increase of a
• 2:33:04
  company. So if everywhere runs to you, go
• 2:33:07
  to the earth for your portion. The earth has a portion for all
• 2:33:10
  men. This is a strategy.
• 2:33:13
  I'm not. I'm not foolish as you hear me
• 2:33:15
  talk to you. The act.
• 2:33:16
  Is a universal bailout system that God uses to bring men out
• 2:33:21
  of financial troubles. The increase of the act is for
• 2:33:25
  all it says. That means if they reject you,
• 2:33:28
  if you are in debt, there's no guarantee that the increase in
• 2:33:31
  the bank, you have a share there.
• 2:33:33
  But this act is a universal standpoint.
• 2:33:35
  The moment you are in debt, trust God to use the power of
• 2:33:38
  the earth and its fullness. As a mystery to bail you out now
• 2:33:46
  in the name of Jesus. Christ Father led the power to
• 2:33:50
  prosper, the embracing that can rest on men and women and
• 2:33:55
  program them for extraordinary success.
• 2:33:59
  I declare by the privilege of this Apostolic and prophetic
• 2:34:02
  mantle, receive it. Right.
• 2:34:04
  Now receive it right Now Receive it right now.
• 2:34:12
  It delivered from. Every financial.
• 2:34:14
  Captivity. Hear me.
• 2:34:17
  What your father could not do, what your mother could not.
• 2:34:20
  Do for some of you? What has never been done before
• 2:34:23
  you? I empower you by this anointing.
• 2:34:26
  Go and do it. Extraordinary results in
• 2:34:30
  business, extraordinary results in ministry.
• 2:34:35
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Listen, many of you will come.
• 2:34:42
  And stand here and begin to testify of.
• 2:34:45
  Strange financial doors in the name of Jesus Christ and by this
• 2:34:53
  anointing. Everybody mandated to help you
• 2:34:57
  especially in this month. In this month of April, leave
• 2:35:03
  May, leave June, we're talking. April I.
• 2:35:05
  Don't know where they are. But I can.
• 2:35:07
  Call them by prophecy in the name of Jesus Christ, the one
• 2:35:11
  who gave power to men. I declared this week that is
• 2:35:15
  coming. I stand by this mantle.
• 2:35:18
  I call for strange. Help us strange, help us
• 2:35:23
  strange. Lift us in the name of Jesus
• 2:35:26
  Christ, that by reason of this that you have heard.
• 2:35:32
  Some of you, by God, you will step into.
• 2:35:35
  Prepared blessings. You will be sitting down
• 2:35:41
  someone. Will call you and give you a
• 2:35:42
  car, call you and give you a house.
• 2:35:45
  I'm telling you, call you and give you a job.
• 2:35:48
  He has trained you so His hands will not be restrained in
• 2:35:52
  blessing you. There are some of you who are in
• 2:35:54
  ministry. God will give people
• 2:35:56
  instructions and say they should come and hold your hands and sit
• 2:36:00
  with that you never go down again.
• 2:36:06
  Every family struggling financially.
• 2:36:08
  Whether to pay school fees to pay rent to.
• 2:36:11
  Complete building projects or maybe to fund projects that are
• 2:36:15
  ongoing in the name of Jesus this week.
• 2:36:18
  May Ebenezer, the helper of men, may he arise and surprise you,
• 2:36:26
  For in Jesus mighty. Name we pray.
• 2:36:30
  No Jesus, no help, no Jesus, no guarantee for sustainable life,
• 2:36:40
  especially even in your finances.
• 2:36:43
  Listen to me. The first key I gave you to
• 2:36:46
  financial abundance is not money.
• 2:36:49
  I told you and I've taught you, even when I was dealing with the
• 2:36:51
  power to get wealth, that the first spiritual law.
• 2:36:54
  That that that is responsible for wealth and abundance is
• 2:36:57
  called the law of absolute surrender.
• 2:36:59
  Not tithing, not giving, not value in order of priority.
• 2:37:05
  It is your relationship with Jesus I want to make.
• 2:37:07
  An. Altar call.
• 2:37:09
  There are many of us here who really, truly need to make this
• 2:37:13
  decision. You need to make it right with
• 2:37:15
  Jesus. And to say the.
• 2:37:17
  Primary reason why my family even became victims of this
• 2:37:21
  financial vicissitudes is because they ignore Jesus
• 2:37:25
  Christ. Perhaps you are the first person
• 2:37:27
  who God is giving a chance to correct to make.
• 2:37:30
  Right. What has been wrong?
• 2:37:32
  Or you are here and you are saying apostle.
• 2:37:35
  I've done many things that are. Wrong.
• 2:37:36
  I need to make my way right with Jesus.
• 2:37:39
  I have just. 1. Minute for you.
• 2:37:40
  Please do not wait for anyone to be the first.
• 2:37:43

  Spirit of God is speaking to you.

  first. Make your way to this place.
• 2:37:59

• 2:38:32
  If you're joining them, make that very quickly and those.
• 2:38:35

  If there are any ones coming, please hurry up so that we start
• 2:38:45
  the prayer together. Young and all, you are welcome.
• 2:38:47
  Come to Jesus, He's able to give you a new beginning and to bring
• 2:38:52
  all this crisis to a permanent end in your life.
• 2:38:55
  He said come on to me all ye that label on a heavy laden and
• 2:38:59
  he promises to give you rest. This is Jesus for you.
• 2:39:02
  God bless you. Let me request all of you in
• 2:39:05
  front. Please lift your right hand as a
• 2:39:07
  sign of surrender to Jesus and then say this after me.
• 2:39:10
  You don't have to kneel, you can stand, but if you choose to
• 2:39:13
  kneel, that's fine. Say Lord Jesus one more time,
• 2:39:16
  with hands lifted. Say, Lord Jesus, I have heard
• 2:39:20
  your word. I believe that you are the way.
• 2:39:25
  You are the truth. And you are the life.
• 2:39:28
  I believe that you died for my sin.
• 2:39:32
  I believe that you rose again for my justification.
• 2:39:37
  Right now I make Jesus my Savior, my Lord and my King, and
• 2:39:46
  I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is
• 2:39:54
  broken over my life. I declare that I'm a child of
• 2:39:57
  God. I go for whatever and back
• 2:40:01
  whatever. Amen.
• 2:40:04
  Keep your hands lifted, Father. Thank you for this precious
• 2:40:06
  people. Thank you because no one can
• 2:40:10
  come to the Father except through the Son.
• 2:40:12
  They have come making faith declarations.
• 2:40:14
  I decree and declare that they are recipients of eternal life.
• 2:40:18
  And in the name of Jesus, I call you the righteousness of God in
• 2:40:21
  Christ. Receive the grace to live a
• 2:40:24
  victorious life and every 'cause every yoke that is as a result
• 2:40:29
  of yesterday and not every foundational thing that has
• 2:40:33
  trapped your life. I bring you deliverance right
• 2:40:36
  now in the name of Jesus. Everything that has pressed you
• 2:40:40
  even financially by reason of this decision I declare you
• 2:40:43

• 2:41:01
  be back to your seat. Let's honor them very quickly,
• 2:41:04
  Cordonia. Is this the best you can do for

  sure you connect. We're fasting from six and then
• 2:41:32
  we'll end for the sake of the service.
• 2:41:34
  Maybe 3:00 is fair so you can grab something before you come
• 2:41:39
  to church and for the children, children can break their fast
• 2:41:43
  from 12 and that would be fine. Pregnant women, don't worry,

  have a confirmed medical condition, please, you may be
• 2:42:00
  exempted from the fast, but everybody make sure you
• 2:42:02
  participate. This fast is for overall health,
• 2:42:05
  to prepare a heart for what God is bringing next week.
