  Speaker 1: Wondering what you're talking about.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: There are no self made people in this kingdom. A
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: man can receive nothing except it is given to him
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: by God. I trust that the session will be having
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: now will be most transforming. In Jesus name, Can we
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: lift our hands to heaven in one minute and just
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: ask the Lord to speak to us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and ask.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Him to speak to your heart in the name of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You are heavenly is you are heaven. He is the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: one who is able to help men. You are ebenies.
• 1:07

• 1:24

  Speaker 2: understanding because he's lifting you. You are evenies a.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You are EAVENI is a father.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Speak to our hearts in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: God bless you.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Please be seated.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: May I request in the name of Jesus that you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: pay very close attention to the things will be learning.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I really respect the vision and intelligence behind a conference
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like this. These are dedicated moments. When I sat back
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: just listening to all the professionals speak and reverence.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Some was just giving me a hint as to who
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was talking.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I said, my God, can you imagine sitting
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: here for a day, two, three days under this atmosphere
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of spirituality and intelligence. When Christ is revealed, he is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: revealed as the power of God, Andrews revealed as the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: wisdom of God. Praise the name of the Lord. I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: teaching very briefly. I really see it more of a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: training than a teaching, just to lend my contribution to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: what God is doing. The power to continue, the power
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to continue.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The power to continue.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Will be examining the principles that make for sustainable impact.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: The keyword sustainable Ecclesiast is seven and verse eight. Ecclesiasts,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Chapter seven and verse eight, Alleluiah. The Bible says better
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: when we have it projected, all right, So it says,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: let's read together, please, one to read better is the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: end of a thing than the beginning? Thereoff just the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: apath one more time.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Better is the end of a thing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: The Bible mentions two very important words, one beginning and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the other end. One beginning and the other end. We're
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not teaching on ending. My focus is on beginning and continuing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I found out from Scripture through the power of mentorship,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and from experience that as far as advancement is concerned,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: there are two dimensions of power. We need the power
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to begin and the power to continue, And the dynamics
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of accessing this power is totally different, the power to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: begin anything and the power to continue. In Job chapter
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: eight and verse seven, Job chapter eight and verse seven,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the Bible says Job eight and verse seven, do we
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: have it?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: There?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It says, though thy beginning was small, yet die latter end?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Should It didn't say, well, it's an expectation if you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: work in keeping with certain principles based on God's pattern,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that it is all right when your beginning is small.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But it says your letter and should greatly increase. It
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't guarantee it will.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: He's saying it should increase.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Are we together? So everyone has a beginning? To begin
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: means to start. To begin means to initiate. To begin
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: means to ignite the process. Revelations chapter one and verse eighteen.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: The concept of beginning is so powerful that God names
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: himself after that concept. He calls himself Alpha and Omega.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Then he calls himself the.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Beginning and the end.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Allelujah, New King James version, If we can have it
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: please Genesis twenty six. I'll begin my reading from verse thirteen.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: This is really where I'm teaching from Genesis twenty six,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: from verse thirteen. Just needed to put that foundation that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it is important to understand how to begin and to continue.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Let's read together. Ready, one to read?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And the man began to prosper uhhah, and continued prospering
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: until he became very prosperous. Just hang on, will read
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to sixteen, but will take it carefully. The Bible says,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the man began began, means it was not his experience
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: before that time. Are we together now?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: This is good news.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It means I can begin to begin, means to capture
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: into your space and experience that once was not your
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: experience before that time. That means I can start something
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that was not there. I can bring into my space
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: through knowledge a reality that was not captured in my experience.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It is very powerful. Men can begin, Men can begin,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: is the privilege that God gave us.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Men can begin, I can begin to make progress, I.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Can begin to prosper. I can begin to know God.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So just because I'm deficient of a reality or a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: dimension does not mean that is the end of me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I can begin to do things right, I can begin.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Beginning is very powerful because it means.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Beginning means the end of hopelessness away together now.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And the man began to prosper, began to prosper.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Now how many times he tried, we do not know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But one thing for sure is the.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Bible tells us that his prosperity and his exploits had
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a date for its start, and the man began for someone.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: This is the conference where.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You begin to make notable constructive advance in your life.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. Every human on earth
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: has what we call a birth date. A birth date
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: means when you manifested in this rhym, not when you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: started your formation. Everybody's age is plus at least seven
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: months eight months. We don't count that. We count the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: day we saw you, not from a machine. The day
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you manifested physically is when we begin your accounting.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Yes, we call.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: It a birth date, and from that time on, every
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: time of the year, you commemorate knowing that I am
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I was born, but I am still alive.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The day you die. You are not the one who
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: talks about it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Someone else who say, finally, this person has come to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: one end inasmuch as we know living in this physical
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: rem is concerned. Listen very carefully. The Bible says, the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: man began to prosper, And you would think the Bible
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: would just say he prospered. But then the Bible says,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and continued prospering.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Now that is a very serious message. He began to prosper.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Why would the Bible now capture the fact that that
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: man who began to prosper is still at it?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Still now, there is no.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Guarantee that because he began, he would continue.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: This is a very powerful information.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: The man began to prosper, and after ten years he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: still at it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The man began to move forward.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Statistic tells us that more than eighty percent of businesses
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: churches that die within the first year.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So don't you downplay this issue of continuation. I'm interested
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: in the continuing part. The Bible says, he began to prosper,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and he continued prospering until he became very prosper errors.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Let's finish up to sixteen fourteen.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Now, the Bible says, for he had possession of flocks
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and possession of herds, and a great number of savants.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Now a problem was about.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: To be introduced to his life as a result of continuing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That problem was not there when he started, but his
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: consistency was leading him to lend something.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Pay attention, the Bible says.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Some people were now invited into his world by reason
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of his results. The Bible says so on account of
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: his consistency, the Phyllis times envied him fifteen. Now the
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Philistines had stopped all the wells which his father savants
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: dog in the days of Abraham his father, and they
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: had filled.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Them with earth. Were reading to sixteen.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And a bimeleg said to Isaac, go away from us. Why,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: for you are much mightier than we.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Made. The Lord grant us understanding in the name of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So the Bible shows us clearly here that it takes
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a separate dynamics.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: To continue as it takes to start. That it is
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: usually very easy.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: All you need is determination and to work in keeping
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: with a few principles, and then push with faith, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you can start. The beautiful thing about starting is that
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: accuracy is not required.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Determination and motion is all that is needed to start.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Are we together now?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, you are not given the liberty to criticize anybody
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: for starting. Accuracy and perfection and mastery is not needed
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: when you start.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There are people who drive, are listening together.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: There are people who drive, and when they begin their
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: process of learning to drive and then now driving on
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the road, they put something L now. No matter what
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the person is doing on the road, by reason of
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: that L, it already discourages you from saying you're not
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: doing well. He already told you I'm moving, but I'm
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: a learner. You do not expect accuracy or perfection or
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: flawlessness from his statu In fact, you encourage the person
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: for having the audacity to overcome that inertia.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: But remaining, remaining and sustaining your.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Result who require it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It would be foolish and childish to criticize and fight
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a young man or a young boy for starting anything.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: The Bible says when he started the Phillis fans were
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: watching him.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: They were not concerned about his starting, But when he continued,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: invited or not, they came into his space. He was
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: now managing things that he did not face when he
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: was starting. Many people may have the power to start,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: but the comina to continue requires a set of dynamics
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that until you are taught, you may give up on
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the way away together. The Bible talked about Moses when
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: God motivated him and engraced him to go.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And meet Pharaoh.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: He went, and I'm not sure what he expected, but
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: he left with such embarrassment and sadness, and the Bible says.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He continued to go to Pharaoh again and again and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: again and again.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It took tamina for him to be able to bring
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the nation of Israel out of Egypt, even do.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It was God sending him.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Just because God is before you does not guarantee that
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you will.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Start and continue just by default.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: There are laws, and my assignment is to be able
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to guide us by the spirit. Because everyone of us
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: here I presume that were leaders.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: In some respects. So we've started something.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: There is a vision, there is a ministry, there is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a business, and many of you, by reason of your
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: working and keeping with the principles who have been taught
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you are now rising consistently. Let me inform you that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: there is a thresholding success that when you reach, certain
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: things will start happening in your life.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: That it is important for you to know.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: In biology, there are children for as long as their children.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe onder twelve thirteen, there are certain things that don't.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Happen to them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: When they get to eleven twelve thirteen, their parents now
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: would see them and start telling them, there is a.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Transition in your life. Is that true?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Because by reason of your consistency in growth, you are
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: now going to be facing certain challenges psychologically, biologically that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you must be prepared for. If a child is not
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: prepared for that face, there are usually a plectora of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: catastrophes because now the person is not managing failure. You
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: have to be taught to manage success. Most people do
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: something about failure alone. They don't do something about great success.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The body of being consistently successful is by far greater
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: than the body of failure. And the man began to prosper,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and he continued prospering, and the Bible says, and the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Philistines envied him, hallelujam Proverabs. Chapter twenty four and verse ten. Provabs.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Chapter twenty four and verse ten. Let's talk about continuing Proverabs.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Twenty four and verse ten. The Bible says, if you
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: If you faint in the day of adversity. I draw
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of inspiration from athletes. And when you watch
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: people run marathon. There is the long distance race called marathon,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: where they have kilometers to cover, could be round a
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: circle or just across you know, a pre defined region. Now,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: when the cat usually there would be not less than
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: fifty people.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Some already know they will not finished, is that true.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Some want to give their strengthy chance to see how
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: far can go.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: But there are some who start with the intention of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: continuing and finishing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: When the gun is shot, everyone some begin to laugh
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: at themselves as they start.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: They know that they are not prepared to finish.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: But in the midst of that crowd you will see
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a few very slim, usually tall, deturning fellows who don't
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: talk to anyone.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They start moving.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Many times, they are usually not in front because they
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: have mastered that thing. They are somewhere. They are not behind,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: but they are not in front. They know that the
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: dynamics will change. Starting is easy. Someone will enjoy the
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: ten minutes of knowing that I'm leading, and the one
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: who will actually win knows that this man is wasting
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: his time. The fact that you are obsessed about winning
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: at the beginning, or being fessed. It tells that professional
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that you are not even going to go far because there.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Is a skill to it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Everyone starts and then eventually something called exhaustion. Exhaustion is
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a product of time and diligence, not laziness. You can
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: be exhausted when you are not even doing anything, and
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: gradually their pace and their energy.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Begins to deplete.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Away learning now and you find out that a few
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: people now start thinking, do why continue?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Do I stay? What is the risk of staying? What
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: is the risk of continuing?
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: A time will come, Your mind won't give you a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: chance to think again.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Your body would just say I'm exhausted.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Stop, and people stop with all kinds of skills, Some fall,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: some just hold, some are angry, some even faint. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: yet those few, by the time they get to maybe midway,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the dynamics change. You will notice their breathing will change.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: You will notice that they cannot even turn to the left,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: as much as turning to the left can distract them.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And finally they run, and by the last round you
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: will be surprised to see they've start energy that you
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: never imagine. They would look like they wouldn't make it,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and then they would run and win. And you see
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: them stand breathing. Just take a cup of water or so,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and they're fine. I draw a lot of inspiration there
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: because it shows me how people run this race in
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: life and destiny. There are people who start ministry as
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: though is going to happen for one month and they
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: will rest. They are happy and excited. They've been burning
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: with messages, mysteries after mysteries one. I mean, they're itching
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to share everything. And after two months they've exhausted the messages.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They open the Bible and it looks like it's just
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a white sheet of paper. There is nothing written there. Again,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the stamina to continue comes from four channels. The stamina
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to continue comes from four channels.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: That means beginning your destiny, your ministry.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Your business, and so on and so forth.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That is commendable, but that is not enough guarantee that
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you will continue and you will last. Because as you
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: remain in any system, the requirements on you become greater.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: There is a greater requirement of perfection. There are things
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: people would forgive you about yesterday, but they willn't forgive
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the tomorrow's version of you they expect.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Look at Moses.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Moses for his argument with God at a certain level,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Moses was prohibited from entering the promised land. Secaraiya's mouth
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: was shot because as a priest who are at the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: encounters with God, he shouldn't be asking the angel that question.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And he said, I would shut your mouth. The same
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: question Mary asked, and the Angel answered her. Look, how
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: unfair that was what he was dealing with people at
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: two different dimensions.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You can do something is statterded and.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: God will honor that person and let him go and
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: punish you in a way that you will be surprised,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: because to whom much is giving, much is expected.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Are we learning now? This is very powerful.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It takes stamina to continue, Stamina to remain, stamina to
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: lead your field, Stamina to continue to make consistent exploits.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: The first channel where the stamina and the strength for
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: continuity comes from is humility. Write this humility. You want
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to continue. You need humility because let me tell you,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: these results are deceptive. Results are deceptive. Their flatter results
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: have the ability to peg your productivity at a level.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Failure can inspire you to get up and start again.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: But you will be surprised to know the level of
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: impedence that your current result can pause to your advancing
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: someone shout, no way, humility. What is humility victory over
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the pride of life. The pride of life is the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: self glorification that comes on account of of your results.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: If you don't have results, people will insult you for
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: being proud. But if you have results, it seems to
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: create some justification. Let me tell you this as anyone
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: who has lasted in the realm of success as your
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: pastor ask any man of God you know, they will
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: tell you the first skill you need to manage that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: rem is a delicate rem. When you stand on that
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: platform of success is so slippery. If you are not
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: taught the act of standing there, you will fall. Can
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I tell you look at this, Everybody watch me. If
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I fall from here, the injury is minimal. But if
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I fall from here, I most likely may lose my life.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what pride does.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Pride accelerates your rising in your mind so that your
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: fall will be very significant. The Bible says to not
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: exalt yourself more highly. Someone learning the skill that keeps
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: people to continue. Number one humility. The time will come
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: in your life where everything will be shouting your results
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and it's not wrong.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: What is humility?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: The honor shamedness to acknowledge God as the basis for
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: all that you are and all that you do do you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Know, the higher you.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Rise, the more inconveniencing it will be to step back
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and allow Jesus to be seen.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Because like reverence, some was sharing.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You can imagine sharing his background and all of that,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and most of us.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Share similar stories.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Chances are excellent that when God begins to lift you,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: there is a point to prove to naysayers. There is
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: a point to prove to those who vow that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You will never rise.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: There is a point to prove to people who are
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: expectantly waiting for your faull. So chances are excellent that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you get distracted proving that point, that you forget that
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: we only rise because there is a hand lifting us.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Someone learning humility.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: James, Chapter four from the six James chapter four from
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the six. Thank You Jesus, James, chapter four. But he
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: gives more grace. Therefore, he says, God resisted the proud,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: but he gives grace to the humble. This is a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: very powerful kingdom, mystery for continuity that I learned in
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: my own life, and I keep praying all the time
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that God would grant me grace. Can I tell you
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: it takes a lot of effort and participation.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: To remain humble. Don't mind people who say it's easy.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: They if not. It's easy to be humble when you
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: have nothing.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: When the names sing your praise, it will take intension
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: to remain humble.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, because there are number of us here that God
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: probably brought us to help us. You are already marking
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: time because your results. Thank God for the little you
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: are beginning to see, but not knowing that God wants
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to measure a thousand cubits again. But pride is already
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: distracting you. Pride can flatter, Pride can distract. It's important
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: to receive the uploads of people, but you must know
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: when it has gone beyond its allowance, and by yourself
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: creates systems that manage it. Allelujah, this is very powerful humility.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: You want to continue your stamini and your staying power
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: will be derived from your ability to be and to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: remain humble.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: This I have learned as anyone who has lasted.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: In business, in ministry and all of that, you find
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: out that behind they're sustaining impact and results. It's a
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: life of humility. Now let me tell you what pride
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: is not. Pride does not mean when you acknowledge the
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: blessings of God and you subscribe to the blessings and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the privilege, the privileges that come at your level and as.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You are rising, that is not pride.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I need to say it is because medio casts call
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: anything higher than them pride. Anything higher than them, they
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: call it pride. So if I take water from this
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: bottle instead of cure water to somebody based on this level,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: it is pride and his right to him. The only
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: problem is I'm not him away together. For someone maybe
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: flying a business class or flying a private jet, he
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: can call it pride, but it is relative to your
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: realm of achievement. It is relative to your realm of reality.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: We have to balance this away together. Yes, as humble
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: as Jesus was an east, he was not the one
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: rocking the boat taking him to the other side. The
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Bible said he was sleeping, justifiably so, because he's the
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: one doing the casting of the demons, He's the one
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: doing all of this that you guys do the other
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: work and let me rest. So we have to let
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: me tell you. Something will get there shortly. You have
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: to sustain the courage to conquer the emotional blackmail that
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: people bring when they do not find explanation as to
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: your growth. They will bring all of reasons and call
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: everything pride. If God has blessed you, resting the fact
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that he has helped you, don't punish yourself in the
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: name of humility.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm telling you what humility is.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: There are some things that will never do. You will
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: not find me washing my clothes. It's a waste of
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: my time. It's not about there is. God has given
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: someone a vision to be a dry cleaner. He will
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: do it better. It will save my time. There is
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: no amount of preaching that will.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Make me go.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: It's not that I cannot do it. My time means
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a lot more, Iran, I invest that time in doing
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: something constructive.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: A wait together now.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: But it is fine and honest, for we have to
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: acknowledge the fact that pride destroys.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: The danger with pride is not just that state.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Is the person who will fight you. The person who
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: fights you when you are proud is God. If the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: devil fights you, you go to God to help you.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: If God fights you, do you meet a man of
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: God to help you? What oil do you put on
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: your head to fight you? When God is the one
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: fighting made the Lord granted us grace to be humble
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Number two very quickly.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: The stamina to continue comes from your ability to continue learning,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to continue learning, and to contend for improvement. We continue
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: in this kingdom, We continue our exploit we are sustained.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I think one of the facilitators you have made that statement.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: To continue improving and to keep learning.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Today's excellence will certainly be tomorrow's mediocrity. And you have
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to learn and rein yourself and grow and stretch. Let
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: me show you a scripture that really really pudged me
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and gave me the ability to keep pressing as though
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I did not know anything. First Corinthians eight and verse two.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians eight and verse two. The second key we're
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: discussing is the passion to keep learning, the passion to
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: contend for learning and improvement.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: First Corinthians eight and verse two.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Please read with me if you can see it ready
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: read if anyone thinks.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: That he knows anything.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: He says he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: You know, masters and champions by their passion to learn more.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Thank God for the things I know. But God must
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: grant you the grace to know how to learn what
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you don't know. It's a grace that must be given
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: to you from God to pursue knowledge, strategic knowledge in
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: areas where you do not know.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Let me give you.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: An instance for instance, for those of you who are ministry,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: ministry in the North teaches you a lot about morality
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and character, but it does not teach you so much about.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Structure and administration.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: In fact, most Pentecostal circles do not.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Understand structure and administration.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: They understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit and impact,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: but most pentic Costal.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Charismatics do not last because they are not.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Mentor to understand the power of systems and structures. That's
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: why you find ministries like the Anglican Catholic Church and
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: all of these Orthodox circles that sometimes we laugh at.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: They may not be as impactful as we want from
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: a spiritual standpoint, respectfully speaking now, but I can tell
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: you their structure will no individual failure or success can
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: destroy the structure.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: The structure is greater than any individual.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: But in Pentecostal and charismatic circles, even one person's mistake
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: can tild.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: The ministry for many years. The ministry is a meshrest
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: reflection of the individual is.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: If he improves, you will see, if he backs likes,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: you will see. So I made up my mind that
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: in addition to learning and understanding the ministry of the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit and other things, I would have to submit
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: myself to understand administration, to understand structure if I truly
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: desire to last. And let me tell you, this is
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: an area in life and ministry that does not come free.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: You will pay for it, which humility, You will pay
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: for it financially.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: It will think your ego. You will have to sit
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: down and start learning afresh.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is already word for someone you are wondering
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: why you cannot expand beyond a certain limit, even though
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: you know that intrinsically you have the value to offer.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Your structure is as powerful as your gift. Because a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: great oil in a small vessel will still not solve
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: it says borrow vessels, borrow not a few, so that
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the gift that is within.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Can find expression.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: You must commit yourself to strategic learning. In Genesis, chapter
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: one and verse sixteen, the Bible says that God made
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: two great lights.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Please say two great lights.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It says one to rule the day and the other
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: to rule the night. Then it says he made the stars. Also,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: he made two great lights. You must contend for knowledge.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Please let me challenge every one.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Of us, especially those of us who God has helped
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: by his messy. I was very humbled and taught.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: When you know, Reverend sam was just mentioning the things
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: that it does, you know, just coming and sneaking into Coinonia.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: We're discussing that earlier on in his office.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot of humility for that to happen.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: But you see, let me tell you this, never get
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: embarrassed when it has to do with knowledge. When I
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: came and I sat down here, the few minutes that
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I spent, you can't imagine.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: The things that I learned just listening to them.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And as you was telling me, this man is this,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: This man is that. When I sit before people who
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: know what I do not know, I don't contribute.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I learned for many of you.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: You contribute even in the midst of ignorance, when it
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: is very clear that you have no idea, there's no
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: result to show. Don't feel this is training. I told you,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I told you earlier on. This is training. Don't feel embarrassed.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: You most discipline yourself to keep quiet when you don't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: know is sheep had than embarrassed in yourself and recycling
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: your pain and ignorance. Again and again, someone saying knowledge,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Any kind of knowledge will not bless you.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: It has to be specific to the area of darkness.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: You must be able to write the areas of ignorance
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: in your life.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: How do you know the areas of.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Ignorance by the absence of results? Darkness is a clue
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that you need lights there. Thank God for darkness, because
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: without darkness you cannot know where lights you go away
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: together examining the areas of darkness in your life. I
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: may be doing well in ministry, but what of your finances.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: You find out that this finance thing is it doesn't
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: seem to open up. You are not the first to
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: do ministry. You're not the first to do business. Find out,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you here is the formula?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Go to them that sell and buy.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: God will never never leave his church without people that sell.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not just speaking with respect to ministry alone.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Everything you are.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Looking for, there are those who have it, and there
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: are those.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Who have it enough to sell it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: The only thing is that you don't buy it with money.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Let me tell the currency you used to buy from
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: them that sell. Humility, meekness, endure hands. You have to
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: endure their personalities to receive that which God has given them.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: You cannot want to be taught at your own terms.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: A students does not learn at his own terms, that's
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: a lazy students who will.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Not go far. Adaptation is proof of honor.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: You have to endure a lot when you are determined
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: to learn, especially from people who have results. If you
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: are Elijah, and your Elijah's temper and learn what.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: It takes to succeed in the prophetic.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Because although he is a temperous man, he still is
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the one carrying the annointing.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: And you would think because of his temper, God would
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: take away the annointing.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: You enjoy it. It's amazing how God works, isn't it?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Are we learning? This is very powerful? Many people want
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: to learn, They want to.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Grow, but they desire to be spoon set. Bring it
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to me. I won't pursue, just bring it. Let me
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: tell you this. The proof of passion is pursued.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Every time you are passionate about something, you stand up
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: and go and look for the answer. Why is this
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: thing not working? Why is ministry not working? Why is
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: business not working? Through desire Prohabs eighteen nuvers one. A
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: man haven't separated himself. The Bible says his secret and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: intermedlate with all wisdom. There are routines of learning that
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I must honor every day or the white sleep, no
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: matter how tired I am. As a covenant of knowledge,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I will not go to bed until and on less.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And there is no excuse. A covenant is a non
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: emotional binding. Listen, you intend to grow, and you challenge yourself,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: looking at the weather, waiting, looking at your.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Appetite and all of that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Notwithstanding, there are times I return late and tired, but
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I know I am bound by this covenant of growth.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I went up by revelation, and you see the higher
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you rise.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Just like Pasor was saying, many people begin to depend
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: on your continuity. When you are it becomes wickedness at
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: a certain level to plateau, because now you are not
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: living for yourself alone. So many people are the inspiration.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Someone is depending on your message to find the tramon
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: for his own charge. Someone is depending on your dexterity
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in your business.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Preachers are depending on how good you want.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Your fashion, So we dress well, don't backslide for our sake.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Are you learning now?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, the passion to learn. That's why I submit to you.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: And I do this with every sense of respect and responsibility.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Many preachers are lazy, I repeat, many preachers are lazy
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: five minutes Bible study, casuals stumbling into a video. Oh
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: it's two minutes, let me listen to it. You don't
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: command power and command.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Influence that way.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: It takes intention and aggression. Don't pity your mind when
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: it has to do with growth. Your mind is not tired.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Give it the information that it will use to create
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: your reality.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: By the truth it says, sell it not.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Please, Let's obtain grace from God to be disciplined.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: God is not a habilist.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: He will not commit certain levels of graces and anointings.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: You know, and sometimes I say this with every sense
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: of humility. When people see some of the things that
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: God is doing. They just think all that is making
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: it happen is just the anointing and just luck. He
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: that strives for mastery is not crowned unless he strives lawfully.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: No body wins the Olympic by mistake. You can get
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to the field by mistake. Please hear what I'm telling you.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: It takes intention. And let me tell you something. With knowledge,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: when you have it, you have gotten it.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: You don't share a dan. You can lay hold on
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: this truth.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I submit to you that knowledge drives fear. Here is
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: derived from ignorance. Here is derived from ignorance. Are you
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: get to what I'm saying?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Now? This is very important.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: You must obtain grace from God with passion and with intention.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Obtain grace from God to go for knowledge? Continuous learning,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: continuous learning, continuous learning. First Demote Chapter four from verse
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: fifteen and sixteen.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: First Temotive four fifteen and sixteen.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Very quickly, First Timotive four fifteen and sixteen. First Deemote
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Chapter four from verse fifteen and sixteen.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Do not forget what we're teaching.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It says, meditate on these things, give yourself entirely or
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: holy to them, that your progress may.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Be evident to all. Meditate on these things.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: King James says, give yourself holy to them that thy
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: profiting may appear onto all. There is a relationship between
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: lack of study and shame.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: It says study to show yourself approved onto God.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: A workman that needed not to be ashamed. Someone needs
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: to be inspired this afternoon. I'm tired of celebrating and
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: recycling ignorance.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: It's time for me to rise to a higher level.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: You have to outsource intelligence and information beyond your current horizon.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you if you celebrate mediocrity, a time
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: will come all the people that follow you will.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Have nothing to learn from you.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Again, there is a level of leadership call leadership by results.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: People will not follow you indefinitely. The dexterity of your results,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: which is a testament of your knowledge, has to be
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: what would drive people to keep following you. Someone say knowledge.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: You have to commit to continuous development continuous learning number
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: three very quickly. This is a very powerful one. What
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: is the third key? To continue and to remain? You
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: must build systems and structures that protect your focus and
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: protect your values. You must build systems and structures that
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: protect your focus and protect your values, systems and structures,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: because when you begin to command results, when you begin
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: to advance producing notable results, listen very carefully. There are
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: many things that begin to happen around your life, destructions, challenges, persecutions, etc.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: But one of the things that happened.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Listen, when you begin to succeed, there are many legitimate
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: things that will come into your life and your space,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: and it can be distracting.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: You have to.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Create systems and structures to manage important things that can
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: distract you. At chapter six, something began to happen when
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the early Trots started advancing. Under Day of Pentecosts, three
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: thousand people were saved, and then they kept having people.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: The church was growing, multiplying great results.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: And wa'ts what happened now in those days?
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: What days, those days of advancement, those days of exploits.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, when.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: The number of the disciples was what multiplication has a serious.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Effect most of you. Your prayer for increase is.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Not answered because the structure to manage the things that
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: come when increase comes is not there.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: In those days when the number of the disciples was multiplying,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, there.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Arose a complain.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: There will always be conflict, There will always be issues
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: that will arise, legitimate issues that require your intelligence, and
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: before you know it, you will be distracted from what
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: brought you to that level.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: There arose a complain against the Hebrews.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Please go to KJV so that we can understand. Now
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: the Bible says that the Gristians and the Hebrews now
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: started having issues. Why because there are widows were neglected
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: in the daily administration, So now they were blessed enough
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: to even minister to widows.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Verse two.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Were reading to verse four. Then the twelve called the
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: multitude of the disciples. That means the twelfth where now
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: not the only disciples. They had raised other disciples, structure
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: and systems they raised. Okay, they call the multitudes of
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: the disciples onto them and said, now here this carefully.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: It is not reason that we should leave.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: The world of God and save tables. My question is
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: is serving tables wrong? Remember that's how they started. They
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: started by serving tables. Now the responsibility upon them. They
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: cannot combine the ministry of the world and serving tables.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully, the twelve call the multitude of the disciples
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: unto them, and said, it is not reason that we
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: should leave the world of God and served tables verse three. Wherefore, brethren,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: look ye out among you, seven men of honest reports,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: full of the Holy goosts and wisdom. Can you see
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: the condition to salve tables in the any church? This
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: is the condition for ministry in our day. And yet
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: this was what they needed to go through to be
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: qualified to save tables full of the Holy goosts and wisdom,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: whom we may appoint over this business.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Read verse four. Together, let's reading concerts. Are you ready
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: one to read?
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: But we will give ourselves continually to and the ministry
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: of the world. The third key you must create systems
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: and structures that protect your focus and your values. Increase
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: comes with a plectora of side effects. One of it
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: is distraction from your vision. And let me tell you this.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: We must obtain grace from God because most leaders have
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: trust issues, and legitimately so, if you have survived in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: any organization in ministry of business for a while, I'm
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: sure your have would have been battered by the reality
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: of the human nature. And chances are excellent that when
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: you go through several disappointments, it becomes difficult to trust people.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: This is where distraction comes from. The man of God.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: The business man wants to do everything. You have five
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: outlets of your business. You want to manage everything by yourself.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: You don't know that you are growing older. You don't
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: know that you may not be able to have that
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: capacity to stand. But we will give ourselves continually. There
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: are many people who started as ministers of the gospel
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: and right now have become administrators. They are concerned about
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the details of the finances. Legitimately so details of this
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: and that, and the colon ministry from whence the grace came.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: That announced them they have left it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: There are many things that I don't put my hands
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: into so that I can focus on this.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Many of you right now, I will tell you where.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Your spiritual fatigue is coming from. There are certain levels,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: There are certain duties that are for the people you
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: have raised, not you again, to create systems and structures
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: that protect your focus and protect your vision. Closely related
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: to this, I wish I had all the time. When
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: God begins to lift you, beware of the people who
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: come in the spirit and power of the young girl.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Who came to meet the apostles.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: They come with strange spirits, not necessarily demonic spirits. A
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: strange spirit means one that is inconsistent with your vision
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: and the pattern given to you. You must have the
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: courage to drive good people from your life. Just because
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: they are good does not mean they're useful. There are
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: unnecessary baggages we carry because of emotions.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: There are many good people who.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Cannot enter certain seasons in your life. As every leader here,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: they will tell you there is a height a plane
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: cannot yet to wen. The Lord is so much the lighter,
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: the high eight flies. You need to decongest your life
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: and unclog your life by and with so many things.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, for many of us, we don't
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: have the courage to be controversial. Unfortunately, it is a
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: requirement to remain. If you are too scared of being controversial,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: forget about.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Leading the field.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Are were blessed systems and structures that protect your focus,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: protect your vision. One time I had a group of
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: people and they just said they were coming to my house.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: They wanted to come and give an award. I've heard
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: about them. They're very treacherous people. When I heard about them,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, they're coming. I said, no, no, I appreciate them.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Please carry your award and leave me. I know exactly
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: what they are looking for. They prey on reputations. Anything
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: that looks like a ladder, they climb on it. Let
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: me tell you, beware of many good things.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: When the devil knows you are conscious of evil, you
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: will use good and destroy you.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: That three was called the three of the knowledge of
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: good and evil. But the good day and the evil
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: can still do the same thing. There are many good
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: things you have to say no to to honor your pursuits.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry to use this expression, but believers prostitute themselves
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: to anything that looks like it can be an addition.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you, when you move like.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: That, you will not be able to grow.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: All things are lowful, but not all things are expedients.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: The discipline of being consistent. This is what God has
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: called me to do. I focus on it with determination
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: away together.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Your pastor wakes up every morning to.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Lead several people to pray. You know the discipline it
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: takes to do that. It's more than grace. It takes discipline,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: your mind, your lamp clock, your discipline, the vision that
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: is before you. There are times where you literally have
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: to carry yourself up. There are times have traveled where
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: my sleep will be in the plane. The only thing
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: I know is that we lifted is when we're landing.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: And sometimes I'm sleeping and sleeping, and maybe the person
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: close to me is just looking at me, and I'm
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: showing their mind. We say, at this man, you are
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: not an old man? Why are you sleeping like this?
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Depends on what you are carrying. If you are carrying
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: a cap, you can.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Leave it there and even be shaking your head.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: But if what you are carrying is something that fees nations,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: sometimes you will need to rest. There are many good
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: things we need to prone in our lives right now.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Leave the evil things you've overcome that. Let's talk about
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: good things that.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Are not profitable groups, associations. Be careful. Be careful.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Champions are champions because they minimize your lives to the
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: necessary so that it can sharpen your focus.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: There are things you need to start delegating people to do.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: If God trusted you, while you are changing trust orders
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: to it's better for them to fail in your presence.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: You can correct them than to out of fear.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Allow the work to become terrible because you are protecting
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: your reputation. It's better for your sons and daughters to.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Make the mistake while you are alive.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: See them, rebuke them, cover, correct, correct again until they
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: let Jesus did not wait for perfection before giving us
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: the holygoes He centers. We keep metamorphosing on the job.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: You must have the courage to trust people of cours.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: You don't know what happened, all right, Sorry, I understand now,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: but you have to summon the courage, delegate some things,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: and unclog your life so that your focus can be
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: with precision. This is one of the reasons why we
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: have to pray that God will send strong financial help us.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Because you know, sir, everybody here will agree with me
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: that one of the most distracting things when you now
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: start rising and building structures is this renouncing we will
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: not leave the ministry of the world and come to
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: be summon tables.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Allelujah.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Let me do a quick recap, then I'll talk about
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: the last one. Number one, humility. The stamina to continue
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: is derived from a life of humility. Number two continuous
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: learning and improvement. Number three building systems and structures that
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: protect your focus and your values.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: This is very important. First Corinthians, chapter three.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Will read it from verse nine to thirteen very quickly,
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: and then the last point, and we're done. Second Corinthians,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: chapter three. From verse nine, it says, for we are
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: labor us together with God. Second Corinthians, not Chronicles. First Corinthians.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I meant to say my apologies. First Corinthians three from
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: verse nine. First Corinthians three, from verse nine, for we
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: are laborers together with God. Ye are God's hustboundry. You
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: are God's building. Verse ten. We're reading to thirteen. Verse ten.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Now it says, according to the grace of God, which
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: is given to me as a wise master builder, I
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: have laid the foundation, and another builder thereon.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: It says, but let every.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Man take heed how he builded thereon verse eleven, for
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: other foundations can no man lay than that is laid,
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: he said, which is Christ Jesus. Reading to thirteen, verse
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: t wealth. Now it says, now if any man build
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay stubble,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: last verse, every man's work shall be made manifest. And
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: it says, for the day shall declaree because it shall
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: man's work of what sort? It is.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: The fire that comes from men.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: The fire that comes from the vicissitudes of life. It
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: would try your ministry. I guarantee you it would try
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: your business. But it is the house that is built
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: on a rock that stands. May everything you are involved
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: with stand in the name of Jesus Christ. Write the
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: various things that take your time and find out which
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: of them you can begin to raise people around you.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: If you are a leader at a certain level and
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: you've not raised is anybody around you, It means you
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: are doing something wrong.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody cannot be wrong.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: There has to be someone that trusts you and believes
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: you enough for you to be able to replicate.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Yourself in them.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Number four, the power to continue, the power to remain
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: is derived from the ministry of prayer and intercession.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Prayer and intercession. Prayer and intercession.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: In addition to put in systems and structures that protect
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: your focus and protect your values, you must engage strategically
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: in the ministry of prayer and intercession. Look chapter five
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: from verse fifteen. Look chapter five from verse fifteen. Will
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: read fifteen and sixteen. Look chapter five. Now look at
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: this story, very interesting story about Jesus. The Bible says,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: but so much the more when they're a same abroad
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: of him, and great multitudes came together to hear and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: to be healed of him. Now this was a celebrity
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: making progress. The Bible says, his same had gone abroad,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: great multitudes came together.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: To hear and to be healed.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Next verse, the Bible says, in verse sixteen, and he
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: will do himself in the midst of the multitudes, in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: the midst of the glamor, in the midst of the wonderful.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Things that happened.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: He we drew himself into the wilderness, and the Bible says,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: and prayed, he will drew himself and prayed, Please, let's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: rise and honor our fathers. Is that the best you
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: can do?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Allelujah, most welcome, sir, Thank you. A man away together,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: So the Bible says. Let's go to verse fifteen again
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: to put it in context.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: It says, but so much the more went a fame
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: abroad of him, and great multitudes.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Came together to hear and to be healed.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Of him, making progress already.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: And yet the Bible says, he had the stamina and
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: the wisdom verse sixteen.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: The Bible now says he withdrew himself. The Bible didn't
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: say he went to pray.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: He withdrew himself.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: It took effort and intention, knowing that this is the
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: secret that brought me thus far, and even in the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: midst of the.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Fame and the glamor, it would take energy.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: He with you himself into the wilderness and prayed prayer
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: and intercession. Second Thessalonians, chapter three, from verse one and two.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: When you get to certain levels of growth, you have
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: to pray.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Is a brethren pray for us?
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Second Thessalonians, chapter three, from verse one and two. This
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: must be the prayer of every great man, because the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: moment Isaac begins to be great, the phillies times will come.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: They will envy what you represent. And it has nothing
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: to do with whether you are good or bad. Is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: the side effect of consistency, the Bible says. Finally, brethren,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: pray for us. Why Number One, that the world of
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: God may have free cause and be glorified even as
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: it is with you. Number two. The second reason is
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men nehemia.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: If you are building Sambalat and Tobias will come. You
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: don't have to call them. Your results has a voice.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: It does not just call those who need it. It
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: calls naysayers. It would call any kind of person, and
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: that we may be delivered. That means they can have
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: an effect on you if you don't pray. Most people
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: down play what the devil can do using men and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: systems and structures to sabottach the purposes of God in
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: your life. He said in spec a parable to the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: end that men ought always to pray. Don't you think,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: as a man of God, that you are going around
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: bringing deliverance, setting people free by the power of God's word,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: and the devil will fold his arms and watch you.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Not even Jesus was pared say and come back to me,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: he said.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: When he left.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Jesus after the temptation, the Bible says he left him
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: for a He went to restrategize. Because weapons are fashioned.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: They don't just come, he said.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Weapond fashion to fashion, and weapon requires study. It has
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: to study what have you left in your training that
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: becomes the weapon that is used. If you neglect that
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: finances as you are learning ministry, the weapon will be
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: fashioned after that lapse.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: It was where God liar did not cover. That was
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: where David used to bring him down.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: That we may be delivered from or reasonable and wicked men.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: And he leaves you with an information all men, including
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: the ones in your church, including the ones everywhere the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: moment you have the multitude, He says, have this.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: At the back of your mind, that all men have
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: not faith.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Even if you preach on rupture every day, there are
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: people who do not have saved. Their hats have been
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: seared with hot iron. There will be easy praise for
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: the devil to use. Men of God must pray. Business
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: people must pray because you are ministry.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Are we blessed? Last Scripture? And then will pray.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Matthew Chapter twenty six, from verse thirty nine Matthew twenty.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Six and verse thirty nine.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus is teaching here Matthew twenty six. The Bible says
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: he went a little forther Jesus.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Now and fell on his face.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: And prayed, saying, Oh, my Father, if it be possible,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: let this call pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: but as Thou willed Verse forty and he comment to
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: the disciples, and he found them asleep and say it
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: on to them. What could ye not watch with me
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: one hour forty one watch and pray?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: He said that ye enter not into temptation.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: The spirit, indeed, is willing, ever willing, it says, but
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: the flesh is weak.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Watch and pray, Watch and pray, Watch and pray, Watch
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: and pray.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: When you start your journey, it's easy to keep going
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: on him that. But when you get to a certain
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: height and a certain level, the Philistines will come, I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: assure you. The Bible says, the philistines came, and.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: They envied him.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: They envied him on account of the brightness of his rising.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Let's wrap up with that scripture, Genesis twenty six thirteen
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: to sixteen. It's one thing to start, but it takes
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: and not that kind of dynamics to continue. And the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: man began to prosper, That is a level. And he
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: cont he knewed.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: Prospering until he became, until he became, until he became.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: The man began to prosper until he became that epitomy
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: of prosperity, And the Bible says verse fourteen.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Now he had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: a great number of servants. And it did not just
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: end there. There were also other things that he had
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: that he didn't have before, the troubles that come from
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: the Philistines. The Philistines envied him, they sent.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Him, and they said, leave us, for you are mightier
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: than we.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Your success will always create a reaction in the realm
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: of the spirit, and Satan will use men and systems
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: and structures. But the Bible says, now, thanks be to God,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: which causes.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Us always to triumph.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Always, thanks be to God, which causes us always to triumph.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: My charge towards this afternoon, as I wrap up, is
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: that it is not enough to start.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Many of us here have done well.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: We have started ministries, we've started businesses, we started several
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: things that we work in keeping with these keys. God
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: is not only the beginning, He is also the end.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: It takes grace to continue, the grace for humility, the
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: grace for continuous learning and development, allelujah, the grace for
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: creating systems and structures that protect your focus and protect
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: your vision, and finally, the power of prayer and intercession.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: You hold these keys as the keys of the kingdom,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: and with them you will be able to remain that
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: even when everything has shaken and everything is moving heywire,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: at the end of it, you will still stand because
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: you are building on a rock. Are were blessed whilst
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: you are seated. I want you to pray in one
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: minute and ask the Lord to grant you the grace.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: It says, now that you.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Know these things, happy are you if you do them?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Now that you know these things, happy are you if
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: you do them? It is not just the hearers that receive,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: but those who hear and do. Is someone praying, Let
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: it be from the depth of your heart. You are
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: crying out to God.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Lord.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: I desire to remain producing results in spite of the sambalads,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: the tobiases. I desire to remain in spite of the philistines.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: I obtain grace that I will advance and I will
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: continue now that I have begun, Grant me the grace
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: to continue. That my results will be sustained decades from now.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: It will be sustained by engaging the truth of the Kingdom.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Someone is receiving grace, and pray and say, Lord, by
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: the privilege of the graces here, including the grace of
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: our Father that will be coming shortly that you open
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: up your spirit and say, there is no excuse for remaining.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: At this level.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Let it come as a prophetic push that will shift
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: us into new levels and new dimensions.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, go to them that sell and buy.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: There are those who
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: Sell, and you buy with humility, You buy with meekness,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: You buy with humbleness of heart.
