1:02
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
1:02
Speaker 3: The Bible says he sent forth his word, and his
1:07
Speaker 3: word he led them and delivered.
1:10
Speaker 1: Them from their destructions. Take a moment to cry out
1:14
Speaker 1: your heart and expectation.
1:16
Speaker 3: Father, give me an encounter tonight, and that by your spirit.

2:12
Speaker 3: handclap and please be seated. Please be seated. I have
2:18
Speaker 3: a very important word. I consider my charge tonight a
2:23
Speaker 3: prophetic charge. The Lord placed it on my heart. For
2:28
Speaker 3: those of us who are not able to.
2:31
Speaker 1: Connect to the morning session, please do so.
2:34
Speaker 3: It was I believe a meeting dedicated for ministers and leaders,
2:38
Speaker 3: but I think that the principles apply to everyone. And
2:42
Speaker 3: let me please encourage you to do the best that
2:45
Speaker 3: you can and have access to the teaching and listen.
2:49
Speaker 3: The Bible says faith comes and it comes by hearing
2:53
Speaker 3: and hearing by.
2:55
Speaker 1: The word of God. Allelujah.
2:59
Speaker 3: Tonight, I want to show us by the spirit of
3:02
Speaker 3: God as a prophetic charge celebrating thirty years of God's
3:06
Speaker 3: faithfulness over this vision. It's a very powerful secret. I
3:13
Speaker 3: have learned this secret number one from the study of Scripture.
3:17
Speaker 3: Number two, the privilege of watching the lives of those
3:21
Speaker 3: who have enjoyed longevity of impact, whether in ministry, whether
3:27
Speaker 3: in business, whether in career, and then by the message
3:31
Speaker 3: of God.
3:32
Speaker 1: These are principles that have applied to my own life.
3:36
Speaker 1: And I pray in Jesus name that your eyes will
3:39
Speaker 1: be open. Amen and Amen.
3:42
Speaker 3: Tonight I'm teaching on what I title strategy for consistency.
3:48
Speaker 1: Strategy for consistency.
3:52
Speaker 3: This I believe is a gift from God to someone,
3:56
Speaker 3: giving you the keys that make for longevity. Proverbs, chapter
4:01
Speaker 3: four and verse eighteen. Let's start from their Proverbs four
4:04
Speaker 3: and verse eighteen. Strategy for consistency. The Bible says, but
4:09
Speaker 3: the path of thest will you read with me?
4:11
Speaker 1: Want to go?
4:12
Speaker 3: But the path of the just is as the shining
4:16
Speaker 3: light that shined more and.
4:19
Speaker 1: More onto the perfect day. Straight up.
4:22
Speaker 3: You see that, according to God's ordination for all men,
4:26
Speaker 3: we should never have a better yesterday.
4:29
Speaker 1: More and more is the heritage of all saints. Are
4:32
Speaker 1: we together. It is not.
4:34
Speaker 3: Consistent with God's desire for the saints to have someone
4:38
Speaker 3: celebrate your yesterday with no hope of having a better
4:42
Speaker 3: today or tomorrow. According to God's plan, the doings of
4:47
Speaker 3: God in your life today and tomorrow should by fast
4:51
Speaker 3: or past whatever it is that happened yesterday, no matter
4:54
Speaker 3: how great, no matter how spectacular. So the Bible says
4:57
Speaker 3: the path of the just, not the path of everyone.
5:01
Speaker 3: The path of the just one who is in Christ.
5:04
Speaker 3: The Bible says it should be in this manner as
5:08
Speaker 3: a shining light that shines more and more onto the
5:13
Speaker 3: perfect day. Let me speak over your life already in
5:15
Speaker 3: the name of Jesus. I've just described your destiny from
5:19
Speaker 3: now hence forth. I just described your path from now
5:22
Speaker 3: henceforth in the mighty name of Jesus.
5:26
Speaker 1: No going up and going down again.
5:28
Speaker 3: I speak consistency over someone I don't know who is
5:32
Speaker 3: receiving this prophetic world.
5:33
Speaker 1: But in the name of Jesus Christ.
5:35
Speaker 3: Whatever makes your life and your progress epileptic, that you
5:39
Speaker 3: are up today down tomorrow. With a job today, you
5:42
Speaker 3: lose it tomorrow. With opportunities today, you lose it tomorrow.
5:46
Speaker 3: In the name that is above all names. Let that
5:49
Speaker 3: epileptic experience come to an end. Now, please be see there,
5:55
Speaker 3: God bless you. Josh Wat Chapter thirteen and verse one.
5:59
Speaker 3: This is a message for those who have done well.
6:03
Speaker 3: This is not a message for someone who is starting.
6:06
Speaker 3: Joshua thirteen and verse one. Now Joshua was old and
6:12
Speaker 3: stricken in years. Please listen, and the Lord set onto him.
6:18
Speaker 3: Thou art old and stricken in years, and dear, remain
6:23
Speaker 3: yet very much land to be possessed. You've done well,
6:29
Speaker 3: you've sojourned, you are old, you have experience. But the
6:33
Speaker 3: truth is based on my blueprint for you. There is
6:36
Speaker 3: still much land to be possessed. There is still much
6:40
Speaker 3: land to be possessed. There is always more for the believer.
6:45
Speaker 3: We do not plant to in this kingdom. There is
6:48
Speaker 3: always more, regardless the achievement, regardless the accomplishment. One of
6:54
Speaker 3: the most striking scripture for me in the Bible is
6:59
Speaker 3: the fact that Zus is seated at the right hand
7:01
Speaker 3: of the Father. Then, the Bible says, making intercession, What
7:06
Speaker 3: then was the value of it?
7:08
Speaker 1: Is finished? And yet the Bible says, is seated.
7:11
Speaker 3: Not standing, not fighting, victory established, and yet even to.
7:16
Speaker 1: Him there is still more are we together?
7:20
Speaker 3: So this says there is more land to conquer Philippi
7:25
Speaker 3: and chapter.
7:25
Speaker 1: Three, this would really be a text for tonight.
7:28
Speaker 3: From verse twelve to fifteen, may God open our eyes
7:31
Speaker 3: in Jesus' name, Paul is speaking very profound admission. And
7:36
Speaker 3: this for me, it represents the template of anyone who
7:41
Speaker 3: wants to last, anybody who wants longevity of impact. There
7:46
Speaker 3: is an understanding, there is an orientation you must sustain
7:50
Speaker 3: without which you will fail. You don't have to be
7:53
Speaker 3: fake to fail, you don't have to be bad to fail.
7:56
Speaker 1: Once you lose.
7:57
Speaker 3: Sight of this kind of orientation, especially in the face
8:02
Speaker 3: of achievements or results, you would lose the ability to
8:06
Speaker 3: have longevity of impact. Let's consider the thoughts of Paul
8:10
Speaker 3: Philippians three and verse twelve, not as dough I had
8:15
Speaker 3: already attained. I hope you realize we're speaking here. We're
8:19
Speaker 3: talking of Paul even as a nonbeliever. He was already
8:23
Speaker 3: an accomplished person. So we're not talking of someone who
8:27
Speaker 3: was a failure then came into Christ and started at
8:30
Speaker 3: ground zero. He was still the finest of them even
8:33
Speaker 3: before he met Christ. And here's an honest admission. Paul
8:37
Speaker 3: is speaking not as dough I had already attained, he says,
8:42
Speaker 3: either were already perfect, entire, complete, mature. He says, but
8:47
Speaker 3: I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for
8:51
Speaker 3: which I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Verse thirteen, He says, brethren,
8:57
Speaker 3: who is he speaking to? Brethren?
9:00
Speaker 1: I count not myself.
9:03
Speaker 3: Thank you for your commendations, thank you for your life
9:07
Speaker 3: and shares, thank you for your wonderful reviews. But this
9:10
Speaker 3: is my conclusion about myself. I count not myself to
9:15
Speaker 3: have apprehended. He said, But this one thing I do.
9:19
Speaker 3: There is always one thing champions do. There is always
9:23
Speaker 3: this one thing, this one thing I do, He says.
9:26
Speaker 3: Forgetting those things which are behind, is someone following and
9:32
Speaker 3: reaching forth onto the things which are before. Forgetting those things,
9:37
Speaker 3: he didn't say, forgetting evil things, forgetting bad things, forgetting
9:42
Speaker 3: negative things, whatever they are, provided they are behind, I
9:46
Speaker 3: forget them, and I reach forth to the things that
9:49
Speaker 3: are before me. The first two words ver was fourteen
9:52
Speaker 3: shouted if you're a believer, one to go.
9:55
Speaker 1: One more time, one more time, one more time.
10:00
Speaker 3: He didn't say, I desire, I press determination and focus
10:08
Speaker 3: the mindset of a winner, the mindset of a finisher.
10:12
Speaker 3: It says, regardless what has happened around my life, good
10:15
Speaker 3: or bad, this one thing I do forgetting the things
10:19
Speaker 3: that are behind and reaching forth knowing that there are
10:23
Speaker 3: still things before me. He said, I press as an
10:28
Speaker 3: act of faith. I press has proved that.
10:31
Speaker 1: I know there is still more. I press.
10:34
Speaker 3: You stop pressing when you get to the finish line,
10:37
Speaker 3: and poorly saying, my press means I am aware.
10:42
Speaker 1: That I've not got to the finish line.
10:43
Speaker 3: When you see ATHLETs run when they get to the
10:46
Speaker 3: finish line, no matter how fast they have time, they
10:49
Speaker 3: lose speed until they finally come to a standstill.
10:52
Speaker 1: Am I right on that? So he says, I press?
10:56
Speaker 1: I press. Let's finish up that scripture.
10:59
Speaker 3: I press towards the mark for the price of the
11:04
Speaker 3: high calling that is in Christ Jesus. Now, just a
11:08
Speaker 3: few thoughts that I wanted to listen. Remember this is
11:10
Speaker 3: a prophetic charge is strategy for consistency.
11:14
Speaker 1: Number one.
11:15
Speaker 3: The first thing I wanted to learn tonight is over
11:18
Speaker 3: dwelling on the past, both negatively and positively, can.
11:24
Speaker 1: Hinder advancement and progress.
11:26
Speaker 3: Over dwelling on the past, whether it's a positive past
11:32
Speaker 3: or negative past. Both of them, they have the ability
11:35
Speaker 3: to impede your progress. They have the ability to hinder.
11:40
Speaker 1: Advancement and progress.
11:43
Speaker 3: Over dwelling on the past, over dwelling on the past,
11:49
Speaker 3: whether negatively or positively, it has the ability to hinder
11:55
Speaker 3: advancement and progress. And I'll tell you more particularly that
12:00
Speaker 3: when you overdwell on a negative past, this is what
12:04
Speaker 3: it does to you. It creates fear, it creates discouragement,
12:10
Speaker 3: and it deflates.
12:11
Speaker 1: Your passion to press. Let me take that again.
12:14
Speaker 3: When you dwell, over dwell on a negative past, beat
12:18
Speaker 3: your background, beat your failures. The Bible says that it
12:22
Speaker 3: sustains the ability, among other things.
12:25
Speaker 1: To create fear, to create.
12:28
Speaker 3: Discouragement, and to deflate your passion. There was such a
12:33
Speaker 3: man in the Bible called Gideon. The Bible tells us
12:37
Speaker 3: that this man had the destiny of a warrior, and
12:40
Speaker 3: because he was the least, and his father's house was
12:43
Speaker 3: the least, he was used to failure away together.
12:45
Speaker 1: Now, so when God would come to appear to.
12:48
Speaker 3: Him, the man was hiding, and God did not call him.
12:51
Speaker 3: By that situation, He says, Oh, that mighty man of felow.
12:54
Speaker 3: He did not say yes lord, oh yes, sir. He
12:57
Speaker 3: went straight to bring his excuses. If this is true,
13:01
Speaker 3: why have all these things fallen upon me? The same
13:04
Speaker 3: thing you see in John chapter five, the pull of Bethesta.
13:07
Speaker 3: The Bible says there was a man who had been
13:09
Speaker 3: yet thirty eight years, and when Jesus came to him
13:13
Speaker 3: and asked would that be made whole? He would have
13:16
Speaker 3: said yes or no, And he went straight. He said, look,
13:19
Speaker 3: you don't know my situation.
13:20
Speaker 1: I have no man.
13:22
Speaker 3: They didn't ask you, why are you in this condition?
13:24
Speaker 3: He said, do you desire? And the important man said,
13:28
Speaker 3: my problem is that I have no man.
13:31
Speaker 1: Something happens to you when you overdwell in the past.
13:35
Speaker 3: It brings fear, It brings discouragement. There are people who
13:40
Speaker 3: are so used to pain. Where you pray, no matter
13:42
Speaker 3: how you shout, they answer only one a man at
13:45
Speaker 3: the end of that prayer, and it's honestly just for
13:48
Speaker 3: the ritual of it. They don't believe it. Pain can
13:52
Speaker 3: become a mindset. Pain can become a stronghold. Discouragement can
13:57
Speaker 3: become a stronghold.
13:59
Speaker 1: Master.
13:59
Speaker 3: We have toiled all night, I like Peter, watch a
14:02
Speaker 3: winner's attitude. It says, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless for someone this
14:08
Speaker 3: is a word for you. Nevertheless, You've tried and tried
14:11
Speaker 3: on jobs. Nevertheless, you've tried and tried to build. Nevertheless,
14:16
Speaker 3: you've tried to put your life together, and it seems
14:18
Speaker 3: like the more you try, things have gone haywire.
14:22
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, it says.
14:24
Speaker 3: At that word, you are introducing something to my life. Now,
14:27
Speaker 3: he said that was not there. Nevertheless, So overdwelling on
14:33
Speaker 3: a negative past, it's able to bring fear, discouragement, and
14:38
Speaker 3: to deflate your passion to press. Now, over dwelling on
14:43
Speaker 3: a positive past, let me tell you what it does.
14:46
Speaker 3: It creates complacency, pride over confidence, and in discipline.
14:53
Speaker 1: Listen carefully, and then you're right.
14:55
Speaker 3: Over dwelling on a positive past creates no one complacency.
15:02
Speaker 1: Number two pride.
15:04
Speaker 3: There is such a thing as the pride of life,
15:07
Speaker 3: not pride.
15:08
Speaker 1: There are two different things.
15:09
Speaker 3: The pride of life is the self glorification you met
15:13
Speaker 3: upon yourself away together by reason of obvious achievements.
15:18
Speaker 1: If you have not achieved anything, you can.
15:20
Speaker 3: Have pride, but not the pride of life. Only achievers
15:25
Speaker 3: can have the pride of life. If you've not built anything,
15:28
Speaker 3: You've not built anyone. You don't have any track record
15:31
Speaker 3: that supports your excellence, your value.
15:33
Speaker 1: You can have pride, but not the pride of life.
15:37
Speaker 3: Summer learning now, So over dwelling on a positive past
15:40
Speaker 3: this is a prophetic word for you as a people,
15:44
Speaker 3: as a family, own that disgrace. It can create complacency, pride,
15:51
Speaker 3: over confidence. Who still remembers Sam said, I will arise
15:56
Speaker 3: as before, only to find out that he's lost his strength,
16:01
Speaker 3: over confidence, and then in discipline. These four things follow
16:09
Speaker 3: anyone who decides to overdwell on a positive past. You
16:13
Speaker 3: can see straight up here that whether that past is
16:16
Speaker 3: positive or negative, if you do not manage it well,
16:21
Speaker 3: it sustains your ability to hurt your tomorrow.
16:24
Speaker 1: Who is learning are way together now.
16:26
Speaker 3: So whether it's your crowns or your scars, you are
16:30
Speaker 3: mandated to find a way by the spirit to forget
16:33
Speaker 3: about it if you want to move forward. So Paul says,
16:37
Speaker 3: this one thing I do, Covenant Nation. This is one
16:40
Speaker 3: thing you must do, even after thirty years, forgetting the
16:44
Speaker 3: things that are behind sick bodies that have been here.
16:47
Speaker 1: Glory to God, and that's enough.
16:49
Speaker 3: Destinies that have been transformed glory to God, and that's enough.
16:52
Speaker 3: Maybe challenges that are not so good that you may
16:54
Speaker 3: have gone through further, I thank you in the midst
16:56
Speaker 3: of it, and that's enough. You must learn to create
17:00
Speaker 3: boundary for celebration a way together.
17:03
Speaker 1: Now, don't over celebrate success. It can be.
17:06
Speaker 3: Dangerous, generous enough, and once it gets to that limit,
17:10
Speaker 3: that's it. When you cross that limit, it doesn't bless
17:13
Speaker 3: you again. I remember one time, very interesting humorous story.
17:21
Speaker 3: I was microwaving beef, so I don't know what happened,
17:28
Speaker 3: and I forgot the thing. I just left the thing
17:30
Speaker 3: there and just to warm it a little, I overdid
17:34
Speaker 3: the thing. I came back, and you know, I added
17:37
Speaker 3: the timing again. And when some only God knows what
17:40
Speaker 3: I was doing, I came back and the same microwave
17:44
Speaker 3: that was supposed to just make this thing a very
17:46
Speaker 3: healthy meal.
17:47
Speaker 1: It turned that thing the kitchen was.
17:49
Speaker 3: I said, look look what I've done with all this
17:51
Speaker 3: annoying Look look what has happened.
17:54
Speaker 1: I went together.
17:55
Speaker 3: Now that's what happens when you over celebrate failure or
18:01
Speaker 3: over sympathize. Over celebrate success or over sympathize with failure.
18:07
Speaker 3: There is a temperature enough to warm your food, and
18:11
Speaker 3: that becomes fine. When you overdo it, it starts too hurt.
18:14
Speaker 3: What was once a blessing?
18:16
Speaker 1: Who is learning now?
18:17
Speaker 3: Because some of you have refused to move forward caught
18:20
Speaker 3: to see your last victory court, to see your last result.
18:24
Speaker 3: As soon as that result arrive, you stop seeing, You
18:28
Speaker 3: stop praying, you stop hearing, you stop pressing, You don't
18:32
Speaker 3: wake up in the morning again, you stop buying books.
18:34
Speaker 3: Your life is full of celebration until it has become
18:37
Speaker 3: an empty celebration because you see in destiny nobody claps
18:41
Speaker 3: for you twice for the same level.
18:44
Speaker 1: Now, once you.
18:45
Speaker 3: Receive the applod that comes with a level, that's it.
18:50
Speaker 3: You clap for a little baby when the baby starts working.
18:53
Speaker 3: You don't clap for an adult for walking. You've been
18:56
Speaker 3: walking too long? You fly, then we clap am I
18:59
Speaker 3: right on that. Well, if you fall sick and you
19:05
Speaker 3: lose your ability to work and you start back, then
19:07
Speaker 3: we can encourage you on that. But not a healthy adult.
19:10
Speaker 3: And then you say you demand an applause for walking. No,
19:13
Speaker 3: you'll be walking too long. You've exhausted that possibility.
19:18
Speaker 1: Are we learning now?
19:19
Speaker 3: Someone saying the name of Jesus, shouted, saying the name
19:22
Speaker 3: of Jesus, I obtain grace to forget about yesterday and
19:29
Speaker 3: reach for tomorrow in the name of Jesus. For someone,
19:33
Speaker 3: you need to go and hide your awards for a moment.
19:35
Speaker 3: They're distracting you. They're distracting you. You flaunted them before
19:39
Speaker 3: you to the point of vision is now blored. Suspend
19:43
Speaker 3: those awards for a while, and have the mentality of
19:46
Speaker 3: his stature so that you can press I think I've
19:50
Speaker 3: seen this, and it's a very honest admission. I've seen
19:54
Speaker 3: the swallow people up in ministry. I've seen the swallow
19:58
Speaker 3: people up in business, sinly swallow people up in destiny.
20:02
Speaker 3: So someone who comes safe from a background of deprivation,
20:05
Speaker 3: the first day he makes maybe thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars,
20:10
Speaker 3: he celebrates, he can't believe it's a dream come true.
20:14
Speaker 3: And then he stops there only to realize that that
20:18
Speaker 3: was only good for his personal needs. That cannot go
20:21
Speaker 3: when you really want to do serious things. That does
20:24
Speaker 3: not amount to anything again. Away together now, and then
20:30
Speaker 3: there are people in ministry. The day someone gets healed,
20:34
Speaker 3: the day someone gets blessed the day God gives you
20:36
Speaker 3: an elevated platform to self his grace. That becomes the
20:40
Speaker 3: end of your impact and praying for someone, whether it
20:43
Speaker 3: is your pain or your crowns, whether it's your scars
20:47
Speaker 3: or your crowns, whatever has blood your vision and impeded
20:52
Speaker 3: your capacity to go forward, I release you from that
20:55
Speaker 3: shackle today shouted, believe in Him, and I release you
20:59
Speaker 3: from that shackle in the name.
21:02
Speaker 1: Of Jesus Christ. So the Bible says, this one thing
21:08
Speaker 1: I do.
21:09
Speaker 3: A negative past creates fear, discouragement deflates your passion to press.
21:16
Speaker 3: A positive pass creates complacency, pride over confidence, and many
21:23
Speaker 3: times in discipline. Now I'll give you two strategies and
21:26
Speaker 3: then will pray two strategies for consistency.
21:35
Speaker 1: Number one, the.
21:38
Speaker 3: First strategy that I'm going to give you is someone learning.
21:47
Speaker 1: Remain humble and broken. Remain humble and broken.
21:54
Speaker 3: You think this is a very cheap statement, until you
21:58
Speaker 3: see what has happened to people as it is out
22:00
Speaker 3: of pride.
22:01
Speaker 1: Remain humble and broken.
22:05
Speaker 3: Regardless what God does through your life, Remain humble and
22:10
Speaker 3: remain broken. The Bible says, a broken and a contrite
22:15
Speaker 3: heart O.
22:16
Speaker 1: God, thou will not despise.
22:20
Speaker 3: A broken and a contrite heart. You know what a
22:23
Speaker 3: broken heart means. A broken heart doesn't mean heartbreak or
22:26
Speaker 3: I hope you understand what I'm saying, a broken hart.
22:31
Speaker 1: Praise the name of the Lord. I need to explain
22:33
Speaker 1: what a broken heart is here.
22:34
Speaker 3: A broken heart means a heart that is malleable, childlike
22:38
Speaker 3: enough to acknowledge and recognize the hand of God as
22:43
Speaker 3: the principal factor behind your victory, behind anything good in
22:48
Speaker 3: your life. It's a secret I've seen in scripture. It's
22:53
Speaker 3: a secret I've seen in the life of the fathers
22:56
Speaker 3: and by the messages of God.
22:57
Speaker 1: Is a secret that I've.
22:58
Speaker 3: Adopted in my own life that the higher He lifts you,
23:02
Speaker 3: the more you remain on your knees is the safest
23:05
Speaker 3: position for any believer. You hardly fall when you are kneeling,
23:11
Speaker 3: You fall when you stand.
23:14
Speaker 1: Are we together now?
23:15
Speaker 3: Yes, Father, I realize that it is because of you
23:21
Speaker 3: that I am what I am. I realize that it
23:24
Speaker 3: is by your messy. For the Bible says a man
23:27
Speaker 3: can receive nothing except it is given on to him.
23:30
Speaker 1: And unfortunately we.
23:32
Speaker 3: Live in a celebrity age. We love the spotlight. Nothing
23:37
Speaker 3: wrong with that.
23:38
Speaker 1: We love, likes and shares, nothing wrong with that we
23:41
Speaker 1: love to.
23:42
Speaker 3: Be an idol to somebody, even though God wonders about idolatry.
23:47
Speaker 1: Are we together now?
23:49
Speaker 3: We like these things, and sometimes we crave for it,
23:52
Speaker 3: to a point that we can get sick over the
23:56
Speaker 3: desire for the accolades of men. I show you an
23:59
Speaker 3: irrehutable secret. Remain humble, and remain broken. The Bible says,
24:05
Speaker 3: God resisted the proud.
24:08
Speaker 1: Let me explain that to you.
24:09
Speaker 3: It means the anointing cannot help you because the anointing
24:13
Speaker 3: was not designed to fight God. It only fights anything
24:17
Speaker 3: that is anti Christ. So if it is God that
24:20
Speaker 3: is opposing you, the only prayer that.
24:23
Speaker 1: Bails you out is the prayer of messy.
24:27
Speaker 3: I went together now and for your information, broughts to scripture,
24:31
Speaker 3: from Genesis to Revelation, and learn how God fights. You've
24:35
Speaker 3: not seen a warrior like God, he says. Let God
24:39
Speaker 3: arise and let his enemies. I don't want to distract
24:44
Speaker 3: you by explaining to you what it means to be
24:47
Speaker 3: God's enemies, because God's enemy.
24:49
Speaker 1: Is not the person you hate.
24:51
Speaker 3: No God's enemies anyone, including you, who becomes a perpetual
24:58
Speaker 3: interruption to kingdom, come anybody.
25:03
Speaker 1: Jonah was a prophet.
25:05
Speaker 3: As soon as he became an interruption to God's program,
25:08
Speaker 3: he became God's enemy immediately.
25:12
Speaker 1: God's enemy is not an unbeliever.
25:16
Speaker 3: God's enemy is not somebody practicing witchcraft or wizardry.
25:20
Speaker 1: The moment your life becomes.
25:22
Speaker 3: A consistent interruption to God's program. So next time you
25:26
Speaker 3: say let God arrive very five first, a will learning.
25:37
Speaker 1: But I hope you're receiving something humble and broken. Now.
25:44
Speaker 3: Our world interpreted humility as weakness because they say you
25:49
Speaker 3: are losing the opportunity to shine. How do you watch
25:52
Speaker 3: opportunities just pass you like this and you don't rob
25:55
Speaker 3: it in? I mean, God has done something so great.
25:57
Speaker 3: I'm not saying don't celebrate success, but you have to
26:00
Speaker 3: be careful. The same people who will tell you become
26:04
Speaker 3: king over us will say crucify him tomorrow.
26:07
Speaker 1: They will look you to the face and act as
26:10
Speaker 1: if they.
26:10
Speaker 3: Didn't say it before. You need to understand how frail
26:14
Speaker 3: men are. They will say become king over us today,
26:18
Speaker 3: and they will say crucify him tomorrow. There is only
26:21
Speaker 3: one friend that sticks closer than a brother I way together. Now, Yes, humility,
26:26
Speaker 3: there's something that humility does. It adds honor to your achievements.
26:33
Speaker 3: Find show me someone who is doing so well and
26:37
Speaker 3: then maintains a disposition of humility. That is, someone who
26:41
Speaker 3: will look like Buelah.
26:42
Speaker 1: And he saber.
26:44
Speaker 3: But show me someone is who is doing so well.
26:47
Speaker 3: Then he rubbishes that beauty with pride. Pride is a destroyer,
26:52
Speaker 3: it's a depletar. It reduces the value of anything. Anything
26:57
Speaker 3: and praying for someone obtain the grace to be humble.
27:02
Speaker 3: This temptation to always want to shout things and drum
27:06
Speaker 3: it and prove a point, it is unnecessary. The Bible
27:09
Speaker 3: teaches us a lesson from the life of Joseph. Joseph
27:13
Speaker 3: was someone who was disbelieved by his brothers. They invested
27:17
Speaker 3: in an attempt to make him a failure.
27:19
Speaker 1: It didn't work.
27:20
Speaker 3: He went to Portifi's house. Just when you thought things
27:23
Speaker 3: were getting better, away together. Now Portifi came with his own,
27:26
Speaker 3: the wife came with our own. Landed him into prison.
27:29
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that? And now in prison he began
27:33
Speaker 3: to help some people. You can't imagine the pain and
27:35
Speaker 3: your offense. And then the guy who's dreaming that pretty
27:39
Speaker 3: He beg the guy, He said, when you get to
27:41
Speaker 3: the king, please tell.
27:43
Speaker 1: The man I'm innocent. When that guy got there, he forgot.
27:47
Speaker 3: And the forgetfulness of a man added two more years
27:51
Speaker 3: to the stay of Joseph. We don't know how long
27:53
Speaker 3: he stayed, but we know that whatever the time was,
27:55
Speaker 3: he was plus two years.
27:59
Speaker 1: Are we together.
28:01
Speaker 3: Now, Joseph in one day is lifted and he becomes
28:05
Speaker 3: prime minister. Be honest, if you were Joseph, mention two
28:10
Speaker 3: people that you will someone as your first assignment. Leave
28:13
Speaker 3: the issue of grains and seven years of this.
28:18
Speaker 1: Ah and who you see why you need to repent?
28:29
Speaker 3: Are we together now? That's the difference between you and Joseph,
28:34
Speaker 3: not Joseph. Joseph gets to the palace and was not
28:39
Speaker 3: even distracted by the gifts and all that.
28:43
Speaker 1: He went straight to work.
28:44
Speaker 3: And then the Bible tells us that when his brothers
28:47
Speaker 3: came and he saw them bow like he saw in
28:49
Speaker 3: the dream, you thought that you would be an opportunity
28:52
Speaker 3: for him to met out judgment. This is Joseph. Pharaoh said,
28:57
Speaker 3: I am Pharaoh. He said, only the administration. Will you
29:01
Speaker 3: be greater than me? As first operation is concerned bar Belong,
29:04
Speaker 3: I mean Egypt is yours. He would have stabbed his
29:08
Speaker 3: brother's to death, but not Joseph.
29:12
Speaker 1: He said, you meant it for evil, but God turned
29:16
Speaker 1: it for good.
29:17
Speaker 3: Does that look like someone's testimony. But let me tell
29:22
Speaker 3: you this, and it is powerful, counsel. Pride is a destroyer.
29:29
Speaker 3: Pride is a destroyer. I fight pride. I fight it
29:33
Speaker 3: with every sense of viciousness. And you will not know
29:38
Speaker 3: how hard it is to stay humble. If you have
29:41
Speaker 3: not done anything, there's no tempting you. I mean you've
29:44
Speaker 3: not There's there's absolutely nothing there. It's like someone who
29:47
Speaker 3: doesn't have money saying I'm humble. You're not exactly right.
29:51
Speaker 3: I don't mean to insult you. I hope you are not,
29:53
Speaker 3: but you're done.
29:54
Speaker 1: You are not. You are not.
29:55
Speaker 3: Humble with respect to what humility is, with respect to
29:58
Speaker 3: what is tempting you, that as a family you would
30:07
Speaker 3: be people that have a signature of great achievement, gurnish
30:12
Speaker 3: with humility, that you can come to church and be
30:15
Speaker 3: such an honest human person. People will almost misunderstand you
30:20
Speaker 3: until your works begin to speak for you. At the
30:22
Speaker 3: gates that someone who say do you realize that this
30:25
Speaker 3: man do and usher. Let me tell you a bit
30:28
Speaker 3: about his credentials. And they begin to read something so inspiring,
30:32
Speaker 3: and in the midst of it, you still kneel down.
30:34
Speaker 1: You can still row, you can.
30:36
Speaker 3: Still lift up your hands, regardless the pedigree.
30:39
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the truth.
30:40
Speaker 3: Run away from people who make crime before God look
30:45
Speaker 3: like an embarrassment, because.
30:46
Speaker 1: You are lifted. I tell myself, may I.
30:51
Speaker 3: Never get to that point when I come before the Lord.
30:55
Speaker 3: I don't come as a man of God. I'm not
30:57
Speaker 3: apostle to him. No, he's the one who sent me.
31:03
Speaker 3: I hope you are getting inspired. I'm challenging you because
31:06
Speaker 3: some of you this is what God needs to You
31:09
Speaker 3: found out that your life refused to go forward. I'm
31:12
Speaker 3: telling you this is a diagnosis. When pride entered. It's
31:17
Speaker 3: like you switched on of your ignition and you stop moving.
31:22
Speaker 3: And all the stories you have to tell, our stories
31:24
Speaker 3: of yester years. There's nothing God is doing now. The
31:28
Speaker 3: reason is because you have refused to acknowledge him. Let
31:31
Speaker 3: me show you one scripture and will move to the
31:33
Speaker 3: second point, and then I'm done. Probabs Chapter three, Please
31:36
Speaker 3: from verse five, never forget the scripture simple enough for
31:39
Speaker 3: you to remember. Here's what it says, trust in the Lord,
31:44
Speaker 3: covenant nation. Trust in the Lord.
31:46
Speaker 1: With all that heart.
31:48
Speaker 3: Then it says, lean not onto thy own understanding verse six.
31:55
Speaker 3: In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and he shall direct
31:59
Speaker 3: your Please shout verse seven. If you, I believe already
32:03
Speaker 3: want to go, be not wife, seeing thine own eyes,
32:07
Speaker 3: fear the Lord. I've seen people pray, pray right. I've
32:19
Speaker 3: seen people give right. I've seen people leave right. I've
32:25
Speaker 3: seen people talk right. I've seen people serve their value
32:30
Speaker 3: with the highest level of excellence possible, and yet in
32:34
Speaker 3: a very shocking and sometimes inexplannable way, you cannot tell
32:39
Speaker 3: why they still don't get results.
32:41
Speaker 1: I know what the messy of God is about. Are
32:44
Speaker 1: we together now?
32:46
Speaker 3: You know when people clap about their crown, some of us,
32:49
Speaker 3: who know where God brought us from, we're not ashamed
32:51
Speaker 3: to say Lord. Some may trust in horses, chariots, some
32:57
Speaker 3: may club because of the leverage they've had leverage of
33:01
Speaker 3: maybe parents' leverage of wealth. But some of us are
33:05
Speaker 3: literally a testament of your messy and your grace. Perhaps
33:11
Speaker 3: this may not be a word for everyone, but I'm
33:13
Speaker 3: speaking to someone who you know that God. There was
33:17
Speaker 3: no other way, no other way. You came to leg
33:21
Speaker 3: Us for want of word, almost like a fugitive, not
33:24
Speaker 3: knowing you're left from your right.
33:25
Speaker 1: But look what the messy of God.
33:27
Speaker 3: I mean, looking from hindsight, you will know that that
33:30
Speaker 3: was not in wisdom at all. It was just the
33:33
Speaker 3: grace of God carried.
33:34
Speaker 1: By his messy. Perhaps you came as a copper and
33:37
Speaker 1: you were completely confused.
33:39
Speaker 3: And now one year down the line, two years down
33:42
Speaker 3: the line, five years down the line, God has brought
33:44
Speaker 3: honor and glory to you.
33:46
Speaker 1: Someone, in one minute, can you lift your hands and
33:48
Speaker 1: say thank.
33:48
Speaker 3: You Jesus, not just for covenant nation, for your life,
33:52
Speaker 3: say thank you Jesus. Take a minute. I don't know
33:54
Speaker 3: how you are going to say it, but say thank
33:56
Speaker 3: you Jesus, Thank you, thank you. It is your grace
34:00
Speaker 3: and it is by your messy that I am what.
34:02
Speaker 1: I am today.
34:04
Speaker 3: I am a see ego and still remember the times
34:07
Speaker 3: I used to beg You may say I thank you
34:10
Speaker 3: today I am an employer of label as young or
34:13
Speaker 3: old as I am. Go ahead, thank him, thank him,
34:17
Speaker 3: bring words, mention them. Count your blessings. It is all
34:22
Speaker 3: right to name them one by one for the minutes
34:24
Speaker 3: or so that you have.
34:26
Speaker 1: Someone.
34:27
Speaker 3: Be generous, be lavish, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
34:32
Speaker 3: Some of you came into this city confused, this oriented,
34:36
Speaker 3: and by the messy of God he gravitated you.
34:40
Speaker 1: To this assembly.
34:42
Speaker 3: Now you've been mentored, you've been cultured, you've been built.
34:45
Speaker 1: Look the version of you.
34:47
Speaker 3: That has emerged and the version of you that is imagined.
34:50
Speaker 1: Someone lift your hands and thank God.
34:52
Speaker 3: Thank him for the annoyting, Thank him for wisdom, Thank
34:56
Speaker 3: him for the hand of God that is empty, deadly
34:59
Speaker 3: of on your life.
35:05
Speaker 1: We're still saying thank you.
35:07
Speaker 3: Thank him for your wife, thank him for your children,
35:11
Speaker 3: thank him for your job, Thank you for his mercies.
35:14
Speaker 3: If the Lord had not been on our side. Now
35:17
Speaker 3: may Israel say, covenant nation, are you grateful enough, greatful
35:22
Speaker 3: enough to see his hand in the midst of storms,
35:26
Speaker 3: gratefully enough to see the finger of God.
35:31
Speaker 1: Shallah mara. The first strategy for consistency.
35:37
Speaker 3: Consistency is to remain humble, remain broken, acknowledging the hand
35:44
Speaker 3: of God, without which you would not amount to anything.
35:50
Speaker 3: Take a minute. You are not wasting your time. This
35:52
Speaker 3: is why you came to church. I see your faithfulness.
35:58
Speaker 3: I see your faithfulness. How can I forget? Forgive me
36:02
Speaker 3: I Repentian Church for forgetting.
36:05
Speaker 1: That it was your hand upon my life.
36:08
Speaker 3: It was not just my uncle, it was not just
36:11
Speaker 3: my AUNTI Someone is praying that you have companies around Africa,
36:20
Speaker 3: companies around the globe. You have become a notable for
36:24
Speaker 3: some of you have made giant intellectual strives, all by the.
36:29
Speaker 1: Messy of God. This was not how you started.
36:32
Speaker 3: Compare your version today and your version the last one, two, three, four, five,
36:37
Speaker 3: ten years. Go ahead, take a minute, shannam la camaratos. Ready,
36:56
Speaker 3: thank you for your hand. Thank you for your hand
37:04
Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus,
37:10
Speaker 3: let me tell you sincerely, I'm giving you a piece.
37:13
Speaker 1: Of my secret place.
37:14
Speaker 3: This is what I do, no matter how great, no
37:18
Speaker 3: matter what God does, no matter how spectacular.
37:23
Speaker 1: Once I return.
37:24
Speaker 3: Back home, back to my knees, back to my altar,
37:28
Speaker 3: I have returned to give God thanks and you sign it.
37:31
Speaker 1: It is done. What is the next project?
37:35
Speaker 3: This is the attitude of winners. Some of you never return.
37:41
Speaker 1: Back to say thank you.
37:42
Speaker 3: You get so distracted by the calls the new contacts,
37:47
Speaker 3: the new opportunities.
37:48
Speaker 1: Now you are cego.
37:50
Speaker 3: Nown doors are opening, Now you are flying around the world.
37:53
Speaker 1: Can I tell you the truth?
37:54
Speaker 3: The Bible says, the things that are written afore time,
37:57
Speaker 3: they are written for our learning, so that we, through
38:00
Speaker 3: patience and the comfort of scripture, might find hope. There
38:03
Speaker 3: are men who have reasen from grass to grace, and
38:05
Speaker 3: there are others who have risen or come down from
38:09
Speaker 3: grace to grass. May you not be one of them.
38:12
Speaker 3: There was a man in the Bible calling a bock
38:14
Speaker 3: at Nezza. On account of the abundance of pride within
38:18
Speaker 3: his heart, he was reduced to one animal, a beast.
38:22
Speaker 3: Remain humble as God lifts you. Remain humble. Don't mind
38:27
Speaker 3: foolish people. Don't allow them massage or ego to your destruction.
38:31
Speaker 3: I'm not saying celebrate the hand of God. Celebrate the
38:34
Speaker 3: hand of God. Filmmone one and the six says that the.
38:38
Speaker 1: Communication of your faith.
38:40
Speaker 3: Listen, might be effectual through the acknowledging of every good
38:45
Speaker 3: thing that is in you in Christ. It is not
38:47
Speaker 3: humility to refuse to acknowledge that this is the Lord's doing.
38:51
Speaker 1: The Bible said, it is the Lord's doing.
38:52
Speaker 3: It's okay if it is marvelous in your sight and
38:56
Speaker 3: the sight.
38:56
Speaker 1: Of all who watch you. But the key is to
38:59
Speaker 1: be home.
39:00
Speaker 3: The Bible says it this way, let this mind be
39:03
Speaker 3: in you Philippians, chapter two, one, verse five, which was
39:07
Speaker 3: also in Christ.
39:08
Speaker 1: Jesus.
39:09
Speaker 3: There was an orientation that he sustained that, even though
39:12
Speaker 3: he was God, are we together now? And he did
39:16
Speaker 3: not consider it the robbery. If he said he was God,
39:18
Speaker 3: he did not lie. But the Bible says, he stripped
39:21
Speaker 3: himself of all that glory and that splendor. He humbled
39:24
Speaker 3: himself and carried the likeness of men. And then he died,
39:29
Speaker 3: even the death on the cross watched the blessings and
39:32
Speaker 3: the blessedness of humility, the Bible says, verst Night.
39:36
Speaker 1: Wherefore, on account.
39:38
Speaker 3: Of distemplate this orientation, God had so highly exalted. Not
39:44
Speaker 3: God had exalted. The last time that word was used,
39:49
Speaker 3: it was highly favored. Now there is highly exalted. To
39:55
Speaker 3: be favored alone is enough blessing. To be highly favored
39:58
Speaker 3: is another dimension. To be exalted in itself is an advantage.
40:03
Speaker 3: To be highly exalted, the Bible says. And he was
40:06
Speaker 3: given a name, an office, at both every other office
40:10
Speaker 3: that at the name of Jesus. The Bible says, every
40:13
Speaker 3: need should bow. This is an instruction of things in heaven,
40:18
Speaker 3: of things in earth, and of things under the earth.
40:21
Speaker 3: And then that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
40:25
Speaker 3: is the Lord.
40:26
Speaker 1: The word Lord is the word adorn, absolute master owner.
40:31
Speaker 3: The Bible says, the earth is the Lord, and its
40:34
Speaker 3: fullness thereof the world, and they that dwell therein.
40:40
Speaker 1: Are we together.
40:41
Speaker 3: Now many of us do not know the heights that
40:45
Speaker 3: are still left in the spirit. Greater prophecy upon your head.
40:49
Speaker 3: But it would take being humble and being broken as
40:54
Speaker 3: someone learned something. Let me give you the final key,
40:57
Speaker 3: and then we'll see where to end for this session.
41:01
Speaker 3: I hope this is a key that will open a
41:04
Speaker 3: door for someone. Perhaps you need to return back after
41:06
Speaker 3: church and just take a few minutes to cry out
41:09
Speaker 3: your heart in repentance, to say, I've found myself committing
41:14
Speaker 3: the sin of pride.
41:15
Speaker 1: Show me messy.
41:16
Speaker 3: This is not condemnation, it's acknowledging that you have been
41:21
Speaker 3: the enemy of your own destiny.
41:32
Speaker 1: Number two the second key as a strategy for continuous.
41:44
Speaker 3: Progress, a strategy for longevity of impact.
41:49
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
41:51
Speaker 3: Never stop learning, Never stop learning, never stop learning. Commit
42:01
Speaker 3: to continuous learning. Commit to continuous learning. John chapter one
42:08
Speaker 3: and verse five. This is the ministry of light. Ladies
42:13
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, please look at me, the Bible says. The
42:17
Speaker 3: light shine it in the darkness, he says, and the
42:20
Speaker 3: darkness comprehended it not. Provided there is light, they will
42:25
Speaker 3: not be darkness. Let me put this in perspective for
42:29
Speaker 3: you so you understand the power of what I just said.
42:31
Speaker 3: When the Lord was creating or recreating the earth as
42:34
Speaker 3: we know in Genesis chapter one, the Bible says that
42:38
Speaker 3: God called the light day.
42:41
Speaker 1: And the darkness he called night. You know what that means.
42:45
Speaker 3: That day is not necessarily the chronological passage of time.
42:50
Speaker 3: So you can be twelve noon if you don't have revelation,
42:54
Speaker 3: is still night for you?
42:56
Speaker 1: Are we together?
42:57
Speaker 3: So we say good morning for morning, good afternoon, for
42:59
Speaker 3: our afternoon, good evening. In the realm of the spirit,
43:02
Speaker 3: good morning, good afternoon remains for only carriers of light.
43:07
Speaker 3: If you do not carry light, any time of the
43:09
Speaker 3: day is bad night. In fact, not even good night,
43:13
Speaker 3: because many bad things.
43:15
Speaker 1: Happen in the night. The Bible says.
43:17
Speaker 3: Day that sleep sleep at night away together weeping end
43:23
Speaker 3: yours for a night. There's a connection between night, darkness
43:27
Speaker 3: and weeping. Worthy is the lamb that was slain? Who
43:32
Speaker 3: is worthy, deserving to open the book and unlock the scroll?
43:37
Speaker 3: It says, I wept for no man was worthy to
43:39
Speaker 3: open the book and unlock the scroll. And the elder
43:42
Speaker 3: tacked me and said, weep not for the lion of
43:45
Speaker 3: the tribe of Judah as is deserving, qualified to open
43:49
Speaker 3: the book and.
43:50
Speaker 1: To lose the seven seals thereof.
43:53
Speaker 3: You know what that means if the book cannot be
43:56
Speaker 3: open and you cannot access the riches that are contained.
43:59
Speaker 3: Dearing weeping continues, He said, with not somebody who is
44:04
Speaker 3: qualified to open.
44:05
Speaker 1: The book has come.
44:08
Speaker 3: Many believers are ignorant, or our knowledge is scattered, not
44:14
Speaker 3: methodical enough to produce profit.
44:18
Speaker 1: Please look at me.
44:19
Speaker 3: How many of you know that deal d e w
44:22
Speaker 3: How many of you know that that is water too?
44:25
Speaker 3: But it cannot fill your bucket and it cannot profit you.
44:29
Speaker 1: You can bath with deal.
44:31
Speaker 3: You can come out and just turn around and then
44:34
Speaker 3: say you've taken your bath. Although that is water, the
44:37
Speaker 3: same water you used to bath. The difference is that
44:40
Speaker 3: you have. Do you know that the deal that fills
44:42
Speaker 3: this room, you can put everything together and it may
44:45
Speaker 3: not even feel a plate, and yet it makes a
44:49
Speaker 3: lot of noise.
44:50
Speaker 1: It stops you from seeing.
44:53
Speaker 3: And once, once you bring it down to a pure
44:57
Speaker 3: liquid point, you see that it's not a too much.
45:01
Speaker 3: That's how many of us carry truth little of many things,
45:05
Speaker 3: but it's not to the degree that.
45:07
Speaker 1: Can produce profit.
45:08
Speaker 3: How many of you know that if we shut down
45:10
Speaker 3: the lights in this beautiful auditorium and you put your
45:13
Speaker 3: phone light, your phone light is light, but not light
45:17
Speaker 3: enough to turn the darkness in this place to light.
45:21
Speaker 3: First Contents, Chapter eight and verse two. A charge to
45:25
Speaker 3: someone if you want to remain consistent, And if very
45:30
Speaker 3: man think that you know anything, the Bible says that
45:33
Speaker 3: he knows nothing, yet as he ought to know. There
45:37
Speaker 3: is a standard of light connected to every result you desire.
45:41
Speaker 3: Let me say that again. There is a standard of
45:44
Speaker 3: illumination that you must contend for.
45:47
Speaker 1: You want the anointing, there is a body.
45:50
Speaker 3: Of knowledge that supports that dimension of the annointing you desire.
45:54
Speaker 1: You want prosperity, you want increase influence.
45:57
Speaker 3: Your assignment is to search for light and never stop,
46:02
Speaker 3: never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop. At the
46:08
Speaker 3: Senate of his Apostolic ministry, Paul said.
46:11
Speaker 1: That I may know him, still pressing for knowledge, still
46:14
Speaker 1: pressing for knowledge. It's a secret that I've learned.
46:19
Speaker 3: I learned from anything, I learned from anyone, and I
46:23
Speaker 3: try to structure my knowledge. What do I need to
46:26
Speaker 3: know more about ministry? What do I need to know
46:29
Speaker 3: more about finances? What do I need to know more
46:32
Speaker 3: about leadership? What do I need to know more about God?
46:35
Speaker 3: Don't say I know.
46:38
Speaker 1: You see that? What do I need to know? What
46:43
Speaker 1: else do I need to know? What else?
46:46
Speaker 3: You must have the heart of a learner. You learn
46:49
Speaker 3: passionately while you serve. Even with the crown on your head,
46:53
Speaker 3: you keep learning. You keep learning, You keep learning. You
46:57
Speaker 3: don't allow the crown to distort your passion. To learn
47:01
Speaker 3: that you are broken, you are humble, and then you
47:04
Speaker 3: keep learning.
47:05
Speaker 1: Here's what the Bible says that.
47:07
Speaker 3: The labor of the fool, the fool, there is a
47:09
Speaker 3: description of a kind of person, the labor of a fool.
47:13
Speaker 3: Weary it every one of them. Why because you know
47:17
Speaker 3: not how to go to the city. There is a
47:20
Speaker 3: way to do ministry and win. There is a way
47:23
Speaker 3: to do business and win. There is a way losers
47:25
Speaker 3: do ministry. There is a way losers do business. There
47:29
Speaker 3: is a way losers try to look for money. Not
47:32
Speaker 3: an insult, but an honest truth. There is a way
47:34
Speaker 3: losers try to live your life. You must find out. Listen,
47:38
Speaker 3: let me tell you God, through the power of structured mentorship,
47:42
Speaker 3: has distilled knowledge already, you see.
47:45
Speaker 1: The beauty of.
47:46
Speaker 3: Mentorship is that you have an opportunity to sit down
47:49
Speaker 3: under constructive knowledge.
47:52
Speaker 1: Knowledge that is distilled.
47:54
Speaker 3: The science has been taken away from nonsense, and you
47:57
Speaker 3: serve it and you are ready.
47:59
Speaker 1: Is ready for consumption.
48:02
Speaker 3: When you have something in a firm, it may not
48:04
Speaker 3: be ready for consumption many times away together. But the
48:07
Speaker 3: difference between a firm and a restaurant. In a restaurant,
48:11
Speaker 3: you say food is ready. What does that mean? There's
48:13
Speaker 3: nothing to do, just sit and eat, hopefully pay or
48:17
Speaker 3: when somebody pays for it, you sit down and eat.
48:20
Speaker 3: I like the restaurant concept. You pay first a way together.
48:24
Speaker 3: But if and when you do, you sit down happily.
48:28
Speaker 3: Nobody asks you how you look, Nobody asks you your complexion,
48:33
Speaker 3: your age.
48:34
Speaker 1: Once you are able to pay.
48:35
Speaker 3: You sit with honor and take your time and enjoy
48:39
Speaker 3: your meal. Light light, high level spiritual illumination. Having their
48:47
Speaker 3: understanding darkened istions for eighteen being alienated from the life
48:52
Speaker 3: of God through the ignorance that is in them. As
48:55
Speaker 3: a man of God, content for knowledge, learn from those
48:58
Speaker 3: who know, Learn from those who know, Learn.
49:01
Speaker 1: From the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Learn from the
49:04
Speaker 1: world of God.
49:05
Speaker 3: Follow them who, through faith and patience have obtained the promise.
49:09
Speaker 3: As a businessman, there's no challenge you are finding today
49:12
Speaker 3: that is new to you. If it's that there are
49:15
Speaker 3: people who have all billions of narrow and dollars, and
49:18
Speaker 3: they came out with the dignity of kingdom, integrity, don't
49:21
Speaker 3: let it swallow you in pride.
49:23
Speaker 1: There is always a way out.
49:24
Speaker 3: Every body's mounting is a representation of his ignorance. And
49:29
Speaker 3: let me tell you the truth. Failure is not generic.
49:31
Speaker 3: It depends on the absence of light that is there.
49:35
Speaker 3: If there's no light, everything can look like a mountain,
49:39
Speaker 3: everything at all. But once there's light, light can deflate
49:43
Speaker 3: many challenges.
49:44
Speaker 1: You see.
49:46
Speaker 3: Aparso my own problem is money, the issue of God.
49:49
Speaker 3: I'm fine with God, but this money. It has refused
49:51
Speaker 3: to answer. I respect your pain, but it's not true.
49:55
Speaker 1: I don't believe you.
49:56
Speaker 3: If anything, Quite honestly, you are in a place of opportunity.
50:00
Speaker 3: You are already at avantage position by reason of being
50:05
Speaker 3: across this territory.
50:08
Speaker 1: But I don't have anybody.
50:09
Speaker 3: That's the point. Nobody has anybody. There are principles that
50:13
Speaker 3: bring people.
50:16
Speaker 1: Are we together now?
50:18
Speaker 3: The man said, I have no man. I don't want
50:21
Speaker 3: to talk about your story. The man a better as that.
50:23
Speaker 1: You mean.
50:24
Speaker 3: He could not greet anybody for thirty eight years. He
50:27
Speaker 3: couldn't tell anybody good morning, sir, good afternoon, sir. And
50:30
Speaker 3: they say, I'm used to you. Let me help you.
50:32
Speaker 3: What did the other people do that? They had men
50:35
Speaker 3: who helped them. The man said, I.
50:36
Speaker 1: Have no man. I have no man. Does not bring
50:39
Speaker 1: help us.
50:44
Speaker 3: Commit to a life of humility and brokenness. Commit to
50:49
Speaker 3: continuous learning, continuous learning, don't leave what brought you where
50:55
Speaker 3: you are.
50:55
Speaker 1: If coming to church and hearing.
50:57
Speaker 3: The world and growing is word to hear, don't allow,
51:01
Speaker 3: with all due respect, I'm a CEO.
51:03
Speaker 1: I'm too busy. Thank God for the power of technology.
51:06
Speaker 3: You can access material, you can have the service online
51:09
Speaker 3: and for many people, you can even travel and be
51:12
Speaker 3: streaming while you are in the air. There's no excuse whatsoever.
51:16
Speaker 3: Let you are lifting be an advantage, not a couse.
51:19
Speaker 3: Are we together now, Let what you have achieved not
51:22
Speaker 3: stop you from achieving what God desires for you. Let
51:26
Speaker 3: me stop here. We'll take a few minutes to pray.
51:28
Speaker 3: But I came with a burden in my heart, celebrating
51:30
Speaker 3: thirty years and celebrating with this ministry. But the Lord
51:34
Speaker 3: put these words very strong in my heart. There is
51:37
Speaker 3: a strategy for consistency. Many of you have been too epileptic,
51:41
Speaker 3: maybe your spiritual life, maybe your career, maybe your finances.
51:45
Speaker 3: And you are learning now that it is not all
51:48
Speaker 3: up to God, and it is not all up to you.
51:51
Speaker 1: It is not all up to God, and it is
51:54
Speaker 1: not all up to you. I don't know who God
51:56
Speaker 1: has spoken to today. It is not all up to God.
52:00
Speaker 1: It is not all up to you.
52:01
Speaker 3: Lend me two minutes of your time, and we're going
52:03
Speaker 3: to pray, and I want you to pour out your
52:05
Speaker 3: heart praying these keys, the grace to be humble, the
52:10
Speaker 3: grace to be and to remain broken.
52:13
Speaker 1: And then you.
52:13
Speaker 3: Cry for passion, passion for continuous learning. Some of you
52:18
Speaker 3: write from Churchia you should head to a bookstore before
52:20
Speaker 3: you get home.
52:21
Speaker 1: Buy the truth. The truth is not a gift you
52:24
Speaker 1: buy it. There are currencies you used to buy the truth.
52:27
Speaker 3: Hunger is a currency, a hard currency that buys the truth.
52:32
Speaker 1: Humility is currency.
52:34
Speaker 3: Away together, now, go ahead and pray.
52:39
Speaker 1: Take a moment and pray. Covenant Nation, take a moment
52:43
Speaker 1: and pray as.
52:44
Speaker 3: You celebrate tatty years of God's faithfulness.
52:46
Speaker 1: Do not waste this opportunity. Invest this one minute you
52:50
Speaker 1: have in prayer.
52:51
Speaker 3: I obtain grace to be humble in spite of the
52:55
Speaker 3: workings of God in my life. I obtain grace to
52:58
Speaker 3: be broken, to remain broken, to remain malleable, to remain broken,
53:04
Speaker 3: not above guidance, not above counsel. In the name of
53:08
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. Someone is praying. A desperate person is praying.
53:12
Speaker 3: One who desires to go forward is prayed. One who
53:15
Speaker 3: is ready for the next thirty years of achievements.
53:18
Speaker 1: Christ Staries, go ahead and pray.
53:22
Speaker 3: Pray for grace to remain a students, a student of learning,
53:28
Speaker 3: a student of knowledge that you never plant to as
53:32
Speaker 3: far as your desire to know is concerned that the
53:35
Speaker 3: more you.
53:36
Speaker 1: Know, the more you keep learning.
53:38
Speaker 3: The more you keep learning, keep learning the ways of
53:41
Speaker 3: the spirit, keep learning the way of prayer, Keep learning
53:45
Speaker 3: the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep learning how ministry works,

54:04
Speaker 3: the grace that is in this house, and just speak
54:07
Speaker 3: over someone that in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
54:11
Speaker 3: I speak Exodus fourteen, fourteen and fifteen over someone. He said, Moses,
54:16
Speaker 3: how converse fifteen, Why do you cry onto me?
54:20
Speaker 1: The nation of Israel.
54:21

54:23
Speaker 3: Egyptians behind them. He said, speak to the children of Israel,
54:28
Speaker 3: that they go forward. I declare over someone who has
54:32
Speaker 3: been stagnated in whatever area, in the name of Jesus,

Speaker 3: In your health, go forward, family, go forward. The Bible
54:54
Speaker 3: says the word of the wicked shall not rest upon
54:56
Speaker 3: the lot of the righteous. I decree and declare. Amity

Speaker 3: will be too late to arrive your life. Calamity will
55:04
