- 2:56is praying. Sow that seed of prayer. It is a
- 3:01definition of an apostolic mentality. Chaprain tegae ba lako saffretelegatabash.
- 3:10Pray that God will replicate that grace across the length
- 3:15and the breath of Kenya. That many young people will rise,
- 3:21kingdom culture, young men and women that will rise and
- 3:25begin to spare ahead innovation across the tech world, across education,
- 3:31across agriculture. It's time for the kingdoms of this world
- 3:36to become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.
- 3:40One more minute, your pray, make that prayer, investment, Pray
- 3:44over his health. Pray. And who said there is a
- 3:48spirit in man, and that the inspiration of the Almighty
- 3:53maked men of understanding, make it men of understanding. It
- 3:59was said about die N in Babylon that an excellent
- 4:02spirit was found in him. Declared that none of these
- 4:08projects will die. The vision will not die, he says.
- 4:12The Lord gave the word, then it says, great was
- 4:16the company of them that published it. We raise prophetic
- 4:21ambassadors across the length and the breadth of Kenya, across
- 4:26East Africa, across from Saharan Africa, who will sparehead this
- 4:32campaign in the name of Jesus Christ. In the name

- 4:55will not die. In the name of Jesus Christ. We
- 4:59declare that many other visions of this sort will rise
- 5:02even from this conference. In the name of Jesus Christ,
- 5:07shout he believe in Amen and place you may be
- 5:10seated revenge. Julian, thank you so much. It's an honor
- 5:15to be here. I want to appreciate your spiritual father,
- 5:18father father to us all Babah, thank you so much,
- 5:21and his dear wife. Let's give them a big, big
- 5:23God bless you. Amen, and I want to honor all
- 5:28the men and the women of God here present. My
- 5:31apologies may not be able to call you by name,
- 5:34but I deeply honor you from the depth of my heart.
- 5:37Thank you so much. The apostle from Switzerland, we met
- 5:40briefly whilst coming the Lord. Honor you, sir, in the
- 5:43name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, rema fist for me. Has
- 5:48become an apostolic convergence of like minded believers. It's beyond
- 5:55just a conferences. It's become an apostolic con virgins. And
- 6:00I like the way that it is not just limited
- 6:04to bringing spiritual information, but is translating the wisdom that
- 6:10is captured in scripture to a context that makes the
- 6:13church relevant to society. I've always been concerned about the
- 6:18applicability of the spiritual truths that we have, and we
- 6:22know that Kingdom truth must be translated to a context
- 6:27that is able to heal, to build, to deliver, to raise,
- 6:32and to establish. If the truths that we know cannot
- 6:36translate to a better society, a healthier society, a more
- 6:41empowered society, then there is no reason why the Gospel
- 6:45should be.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Advanced away together.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Now, the Bible says, I am calm, John, chapter ten
- 6:52and verse ten, I am calm, that ye may have life,
- 6:56and that you have it more abundantly, more abundantly amplified,
- 7:01says to its fullest. And so we really honor great
- 7:06projects like this. And I like the fact that it
- 7:09is being presented here at conferences like this, that it's
- 7:12not some business conference somewhere, because this is the business
- 7:17of Kingdom, allelujah, and it is everyone's concern. This is
- 7:21the right atmosphere to sell this kind of idea. By
- 7:26now you know that the goal is beyond profit. They
- 7:29are better, cheaper and wiser ways to make profit. This
- 7:33is a passion, like he said, there is a cause,
- 7:36a cause bigger than just an individual's profit. And we
- 7:40salute you for your sacrifice for this nation and the
- 7:44body of Christ. One more time less, honor, revenge. Julian,
- 7:47thank you so much. A man right, so I go
- 7:52straight to my teaching. I hoped that my session would
- 7:54be a prayer meeting in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 7:58We're still going to pray, but the Lord placed a
- 8:04few thoughts in my heart as touching the theme for
- 8:07the meeting. When I got word about the theme, I
- 8:13it tached me very much because the unity of faith
- 8:15and the unity of the body has been one of
- 8:18my assignments and it's a passion for me. I have
- 8:22studied a number of factors across this topic, and I
- 8:25decided to pick a few things to discuss as we
- 8:29pray for my session.
- 8:31Speaker 3: So let me plead that you lend me your attention.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Hopefully you will be a brief session this morning or afternoon,
- 8:39and then we leave and get ready for the evening session.
- 8:42Are you ready tonight? In one moment, I like you
- 8:45to cry for the spirit of understanding.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Go ahead and pray.
- 8:49Speaker 1: The spirit of understanding is is I eleven? The spirit
- 8:55of understanding? The spirit of understanding? The Bible says, in
- 9:00all you're getting, get understanding. Someone is praying. Let it
- 9:05be from the depth of your heart. My heart is open,
- 9:09ready to be enlightened in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Amen.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'll start this morning or afternoon by reiterating the fact
- 9:23that you're excelling as a believer in this kingdom is
- 9:28dependent on the quality of light that you have access to.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Please listen very carefully.
- 9:35Speaker 1: You're excelling in this kingdom depends primarily on the kind
- 9:42and the quality of light, light meaning spiritual illumination that
- 9:47you have access to. In John chapter one and verse five,
- 9:51the Bible says, and the light shining in the darkness,
- 9:54it says, and the darkness comprehended it not.
- 9:59Speaker 3: In fact, the Bible would say this way.
- 10:00Speaker 1: In Genesis chapter one, he says that God called the
- 10:04light day, and the darkness he called night.
- 10:08Speaker 3: God called the light day.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You may have heard me say this that in God's economy,
- 10:15day is not when the sun rises, is when light comes.
- 10:20So you can be in the afternoon and still be
- 10:24in a nighttime in darkness because of the bankruptcy of
- 10:29light he called the light day, and the darkness he
- 10:33called night. Remaphis, therefore, is beyond just a convergence to eat,
- 10:41to drink, to relate. It is primarily a feast of light, allelujah. Believer,
- 10:49is access to the body of spiritual truth that puts
- 10:54you to a point of dominion inexperience. The real inheritance
- 10:59of the liver is light. The Bible calls it marvelous light. Allelujah.
- 11:06Are we learning now? And so we're going to be
- 11:08discussing very quickly one of the cancers and the Body
- 11:14of Christ that has crippled our emerging, has crippled our becoming,
- 11:20has crippled our efficiency. And I believe that it's one
- 11:24of the things that God intends to help to resolve.
- 11:28Even at Rima phes twenty twenty four. I'm teaching very
- 11:33quickly on the spirit of envy, the spirit of envy,
- 11:39and I want you to please pay attention. God is
- 11:43bringing deliverance to the Body of Christ. This is a
- 11:46message for the church in Kenya, the Church in Africa,
- 11:50the church world over.
- 11:52Speaker 3: The spirit of envy James, chapter four.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Please we read from verse one to three James chapter James,
- 12:07Chapter four, Am I doing something wrong? Help me all right?
- 12:11James Chapter four one to three. The Bible says from
- 12:17When's comment, wars and fighting among you, Hallelujah. From when's
- 12:26comment wars and fighting among you? James is dealing with
- 12:32a very serious issue here. Perhaps someone needs to help
- 12:37address this. Can you help me on that? He's dealing
- 12:41with conflicts? Are we together now? He's dealing with misunderstandings
- 12:48and all sorts of confusion within the organized body of believers.
- 12:53And he's saying, from when's come wars and fighting among you?
- 12:58He says, come ven not tense even of your losts
- 13:03that war in your members. Reading to these three, it says,
- 13:07ye lost and have not. Ye kill and desire to
- 13:12have and cannot obtain. Ye fight and war, yet ye
- 13:18have not. And it says because you have not Verse three,
- 13:23it says, ye ask and receive not. Because you ask,
- 13:27amiss that you may consume it upon your lost James,
- 13:34Chapter three, from verse sixteen, two verses. And then I'll
- 13:37begin to teach James chapter three and verse sixteen. I
- 13:41wish we could read it in concert. Are you ready
- 13:44as many who can see? Let's read together one to
- 13:46go for where envy and strife is, there is confusion
- 13:53and every evil work.
- 13:56Speaker 3: May the Lord bless his word in Jesus name. The
- 14:00Bible tells us.
- 14:00Speaker 1: From Galicians, Chapter five nineteen to twenty one that envy
- 14:05is one of the works.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Of the flesh.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Paul in dealing with the works of the flesh versus
- 14:13the works of the spirit, he lists envy particularly when
- 14:17you go to verse twenty one of Galatians five. He
- 14:21talks about envyings as one of the manifestations of the
- 14:26works of the flesh and apostle James now began to
- 14:31batress on that fact by telling us that there is
- 14:35an explanation as to disunity, There is an explanation as
- 14:40to envy.
- 14:41Speaker 3: There is an explanation as to hatred.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Alongside all of the confusions and the chaos, the anarchy
- 14:49that have trailed the body of Christ through the years.
- 14:52Speaker 3: And perhaps through the centuries.
- 14:54Speaker 1: He's saying that when there is envy, it produces all
- 14:58kinds of confusion, all kinds of divisions.
- 15:01Speaker 3: All kinds of problems. Let's define envy.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I define envy here very quickly as a strong feeling.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Listen and then write a strong feeling.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Of resentment, anger, bitterness, or hatred that is rooted in
- 15:22the desire to have the quality, the resources, the status,
- 15:29or the result belonging to or being experienced by someone
- 15:35it's a long read.
- 15:35Speaker 3: You listen, I will tell you the one to write.
- 15:37This is for your ears. Now I'll take you one
- 15:39more time.
- 15:40Speaker 1: That envy is a strong feeling of resentment, anger, bitterness,
- 15:48or hatred, and that all of the desire to have
- 15:56the quality, the resources that's tatous, or the results that
- 16:03belong to or have been experienced by someone other than you.
- 16:09It's God helping someone now for your writing. Envy is
- 16:14an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another's quality, skill, achievement,
- 16:23or possession.
- 16:28Speaker 3: That occurs when.
- 16:30Speaker 1: You are aware of the fact that you lack another
- 16:34person's quality, another person's skill, another person's achievement, or possession.
- 16:42In fact, envy goes further to planting you a desire
- 16:48to only find fulfillment when the other person loses those opportunities.
- 16:54Listen carefully, there's a surgery coming now. Strong feeling of resentment,
- 17:02strong feeling of anger, bitterness, or hatred.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Are we together so far?
- 17:08Speaker 1: And we said that these negative emotions are rooted in
- 17:13the desire to have equality, resources, status, or results that
- 17:22belong to or are currently being experienced by someone other
- 17:27than you. Isn't it amazing that you would think because
- 17:34God is in the midst of his people, they would
- 17:36not experience these kinds of things. But this is a
- 17:40cancer that has destroyed people, a cancer that is destroying
- 17:46so many, and it is a major factor. It's impeded
- 17:50the unity of the church. It's impeded consistency in friendships,
- 17:56is destroyed relationships, valuable deaths, relationships. So you listen to
- 18:02this as a word of healing. God is bringing healing
- 18:05for some, God is bringing explanation for others. He's bringing
- 18:10deliverance for us. All you believe that shout a loud amen.
- 18:16Envy is a natural human response. Listen carefully, a natural
- 18:21human response in the presence of consistent results and achievements
- 18:28of others.
- 18:29Speaker 3: It is a natural human response.
- 18:31Speaker 1: That means that if you stand in the presence of
- 18:35an individual producing consistent results without you enjoying such a possibility,
- 18:43that it is a natural human response. This is where
- 18:47you need the Holy Spirit. This is where you need
- 18:49to be spiritual. Are we together now? It is a
- 18:52natural human response. I'm reminded very quickly, and I want
- 18:58to use this to give us three examples, many examples
- 19:01of envy in the Bible.
- 19:02Speaker 3: But do you know Genesis chapter four.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Please for a reference, the first recorded case of death
- 19:09in the Bible did not come as a result of
- 19:12a demonic attack.
- 19:14Speaker 3: It came as a result of this cancer called envy.
- 19:19Speaker 1: The first recorded case of death in the Bible Genesis
- 19:23chapter four. For sake of time, let's begin from verse five.
- 19:27The Bible tells us that God had respect for the
- 19:33offering of Cain. In fact, back up to verse two,
- 19:37very important information there. The Bible says, Abel was a
- 19:42keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
- 19:46Do you see that immediately they were different, and that
- 19:50difference was supposed to be an advantage, because we learned
- 19:54from agriculture, basic agriculture, that it is the cultivation of crops,
- 19:58the rearing of animals, and they were supposed to bring
- 20:01completion to themselves. But we see here that something happened
- 20:05verse five. For sake of time, Cain was very wroth.
- 20:11This was the first description of envy, and his countenance fell.
- 20:16Verse six, the Bible says the Lord told him Cain,
- 20:19I'm watching from heaven and I'm seeing envy growing within you.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Why is that so?
- 20:24Speaker 1: He says? Verse seven, If you are done well, will
- 20:28you not be accepted? And if you do not do well,
- 20:31seen liard at your door. Verse eight For sake of
- 20:35time reading, and we'll stop at ten. Cain talked with Abel,
- 20:39his brother, and it came to pass that they were
- 20:43in the field that Cain rose up against his brother
- 20:46and slew him.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Envy never stopped. Still, destruction occurs.
- 20:53Speaker 1: It starts with a desire, but it goes further to
- 20:56act out that desire until you cause pain, until you
- 21:00cause destruction.
- 21:01Speaker 3: To another person. Are you learning now? Verse ten? And
- 21:06he said, what has doubt done?
- 21:08Speaker 1: Okay? Well, God call on to him, Cain, where is
- 21:12your brother? And he said, am I my brother's keeper?
- 21:14And then verse ten he says, the voice of thy
- 21:17brother's blood cried from me onto the ground.
- 21:21Speaker 3: And you know the story.
- 21:22Speaker 1: So the first recorded instance of death, as captured in scripture,
- 21:27came on account of this cancer called envy.
- 21:30Speaker 3: One more example Genesis chapter thirty seven. Please, and we'll
- 21:34begin our reading from Ves.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Three. The Bible speaks about the man Joseph. Joseph interesting
- 21:43story and Israel Jacob now loved Joseph more than all
- 21:48his children because he was the son of his old
- 21:52age and the Bible says, the Father gave him a.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Quote of many colors.
- 22:01Speaker 1: I preached the message one time relating to this, beware,
- 22:06when you wear a coat of many colors, when you
- 22:12are that gifted as to have various dimensions of the
- 22:16investment of the spirit upon your life, even your brothers
- 22:20can kill you. A court was given to him by
- 22:24the Father, and that was the reason for his envy.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Verse four.
- 22:30Speaker 1: The Bible says, when his brethren saw that the Father
- 22:35loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him
- 22:39and could not speak peaceably unto him. In the presence
- 22:43of envy, reconciliation is impossible, regardless what you come with,
- 22:49what angle you present the fact, the Bible says, they
- 22:53could not speak peaceably unto him. Verse five, and Joseph
- 22:57dreamed their dream to make matters worse. Notice the reason
- 23:02for the hatred one the love of the Father. Then
- 23:05number two a dream, and he told his brethren, and
- 23:12then the Bible says they hated him, yet the more
- 23:16six he said unto them, this is a dream that
- 23:20I've had. And when you read down to eleven, for
- 23:23sake of time, the Bible says they hated him because
- 23:27of his dream. They hated him because of his dream.
- 23:32They hated him because of his dream. Rite for reference
- 23:36First Samuel, Chapter eighteen, from verse six and nine, six
- 23:39to nine.
- 23:40Speaker 3: You read there about David and Saul.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I'm showing you instances examples of envy in the Bible.
- 23:48Isn't it amazing that the character of envy, like you'll
- 23:52be learning, is such that sometimes, no matter how great
- 23:56you are, envy does not seek to share success. It
- 24:00once that you succeed alone. There was no reason why
- 24:05King Saul should be envious of David, his king, And
- 24:10yet the Bible says that Saul literally wanted to kill David.
- 24:14David had to run for his life. You find that
- 24:18in Genesis eighteen, six to nine. What is the goal
- 24:22of envy? I hope we are learning now what is
- 24:24the goal of envy? The goal of envy, listen carefully,
- 24:30is to fight the frustration and discomfort that is experience
- 24:36in the presence of another person's achievement. To fight the
- 24:42frustration and the discomfort that is experienced in the presence
- 24:49of another person's achievement as a way of healing from
- 24:56the feeling of inferiority.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Envy is a.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Way, or the goal of envy, is to fight the
- 25:06frustration and discomfort that is experienced in the presence of
- 25:11another person's achievement, as a way of healing from the
- 25:17feeling of inferiority that it brings.
- 25:20Speaker 3: Can you imagine.
- 25:21Speaker 1: That that when you find yourself in envy, it is
- 25:27a way of trying to manage the frustration. Are we
- 25:31together to manage the discomfort that is experienced in the
- 25:36presence of another So an example, please, let me have
- 25:39two people, two gentlemen, preferably two gentlemen come. One stand here,
- 25:47thank you, by my left. The others please stand by
- 25:49my right. All of you watch this. So let's call
- 25:55this one brother A. Let's call this one brother B.
- 25:58Are you ready? Now, you please give this gentleman a
- 26:02round of applause. Make sure your attention.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Is on him. Keep clapping. You can stand if you
- 26:10want to, but keep clapping.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Hold on now look up please, In this example, what
- 26:20do you think.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Happens to this man?
- 26:23Speaker 1: Because that applaud is happening in his presence, and it
- 26:27does not seem to stop now you are standing on it.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 26:31Speaker 1: Now? The natural response of this gentleman except worked upon
- 26:36by the spirit of God is that regardless the reason
- 26:41this man is going to be uncomfortable, this result is
- 26:45too consistent. It's a different thing. If you just tap
- 26:49your hand is manageable. But when it becomes consistent, it's
- 26:53too loud. It's too consistent. There is a basis for
- 26:57contrast envy, begin to build. Try one more time. Here
- 27:03we go a round of applus.
- 27:08Speaker 3: You see that. Now you do this on Sunday.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Do it again on Monday, Do it again on Tuesday,
- 27:18Do it again in January, February, March. And I tell you,
- 27:22except God walks upon the heart of this even if
- 27:25they are blood brothers, eventually this cancer will catch up
- 27:30with this guy. It has nothing to do with being
- 27:33good or bad. It's a human reality that outside of
- 27:36the help of God, can plague all men who is learning.
- 27:44So this gentleman now begins to get on comfortable. Why
- 27:49because you see results? Creative basis for contrast results kill excuses.
- 27:59When an individual begins to produce consistent results, it takes
- 28:03away the excuse factor. You cannot say it's because I'm
- 28:09in Kenya again. You cannot say it's because I came
- 28:12from a dysfunctional family again. In the presence of consistent results,
- 28:18your own excuses die? Is someone learning? Now? Thank you gentlemen,
- 28:25now you clap for this one. Come on giving me
- 28:29a real round of applause. Away together, thank you my friend.
- 28:33All right, so here you go, blessings to you. Are
- 28:39we learning so far? So?
- 28:41Speaker 3: The goal of envy is to fight the frustration.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Do you know that whenever you find people communicating envy,
- 28:50they are dealing with something within themselves.
- 28:53Speaker 3: There is a frustration. Are we together now?
- 28:56Speaker 1: There is a discomfort that happens to them in the
- 29:00presence of consistent results from the life of others. How
- 29:05do they fight this?
- 29:06Speaker 3: Number one?
- 29:08Speaker 1: Most people fight envy by downplaying the achievements and the
- 29:14perceptions that people have on others. So, if this gentleman
- 29:19is to fight this one, his first assignment to be
- 29:22to downplay the achievement, to whata down the achievement and
- 29:27make it look like it's not worth clapping?
- 29:29Speaker 3: Is this why you are clapping?
- 29:31Speaker 1: The moment to find yourself in that position you've been
- 29:34infected by this virus of envy, The moment to find
- 29:37yourself downplaying, demeaning the achievements of others or the perception
- 29:45that people have towards are not that person's results. No
- 29:49matter how you argue it, it is caused by envy.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 29:57Speaker 1: So someone can look at this incredible pre presentation by
- 30:01Passo Julian and say, well, I think it can be better.
- 30:05You see, once you the moment you begin to hear
- 30:09those things, I tell you, it is produced. You see,
- 30:12Envy can use anything, a lie or the truth. The
- 30:15goal is not to sell you truth. The goal is
- 30:18to use that to what are you down? It's like
- 30:21a system that tries to equalize. Don't say tell them
- 30:30missus surgery. God is working on everyone. Rangelia, you invited
- 30:36me to Kenya again. I hope this is a good start.
- 30:45Down playing the achievements of others, the character of envy,
- 30:51down playing the perception that people have on account.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Of another person's results.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So when someone says this great Man of God from Switzerland,
- 31:00he's doing a great work. Or have you been there?
- 31:03Do you know him? Once you begin to hear those
- 31:06things and attack on people's results, why clap? Beware of
- 31:10those who do not clap when God is lifting you.
- 31:14Beware of those who have a problem clapping when God
- 31:17is announcing you. Do you have to honor the Father
- 31:23and the Lord? What does it affect you? You see,
- 31:27when people take your success to personal, you.
- 31:32Speaker 3: See, they don't have to be bad people.
- 31:39Speaker 1: I hope I'm not describing you, but if I am
- 31:47welcome to remaphist, you are the one that we pray,
- 31:55you are the one we hear all.
- 32:00Speaker 3: You give the heeling angraces that are heart solways.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Hunger for Oh heart solways hunger.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Please sit down, let me work this for a few minutes.
- 32:20Speaker 1: So envy walks by number one, attempting to downplay the
- 32:26achievements of others, attempting to downplay the perception that people
- 32:32have over another person's results. It is the character of
- 32:37envy number two. How does envy operate by wishing for
- 32:42the fall or the destruction of the person experiencing the results?
- 32:49So envy goes further to wish. It becomes a secret desire.
- 32:54Can something happen to revenge?
- 32:56Speaker 3: Julian? That just makes it look like it's not that
- 32:59except Chanel.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Can something happened to this pastor can something happened to
- 33:05this person?
- 33:06Speaker 3: You see that? Now do you know this was a.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Situation with the Jesus and the scribes and the Pharisees.
- 33:16They so wanted him to die. They wanted him to
- 33:20die to a point that they were willing to release
- 33:24an Ambroba.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Let's honor.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Our father may not know him, but please give him
- 33:27the honor that he deserves. May God bless you, sir. Allelujah,
- 33:34God bless you, sir.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Now, please let me have your attention. What kind of
- 33:41anger over Jesus makes a people want to release back
- 33:46and Ambroba. It's a version of what we would call
- 33:49it terrorists. They were willing to make do with Barabbas again.
- 33:53They said, just let Barabbas come down, let him continue
- 33:57to kill our children.
- 33:58Speaker 3: But for God's sake, let this man die.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Get him out of the way, don't change him, don't
- 34:04put him in prison, kill him.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Envy for you.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Envy sword desires the downfall of others as a therapy,
- 34:14as a.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Way to heal.
- 34:16Speaker 1: When you hear that something happened, she just lost her child,
- 34:19you almost want to hide the joy. You first feel
- 34:23the joy.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Then you feel the pain. You listen to this.
- 34:31Speaker 1: I will tell you the reason why the Church does
- 34:34not seem to advance, because if we do not conquer envy.
- 34:39We will keep killing the visions of one another using
- 34:43scriptural excuses, killing the visions of one another, rejoicing, hgging
- 34:48in the open, and then stabbing in the secret away Together,
- 35:03we cannot attain unity as a people.
- 35:06Speaker 3: We cannot advance as a people.
- 35:08Speaker 1: If we do not deal with envy. Now, please look
- 35:11at me. For most people, their journey towards receiving this
- 35:17concer of envy starts from childhood. It doesn't matter if
- 35:21you're a preacher. Let me do psychology for two minutes.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Forgive me.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Most people do not know that there is a psychological
- 35:29explanation to envy. Envy is easily around a life that
- 35:35has suffered deprivation. When you have been deprived of opportunity,
- 35:41when you have been deprived of things access, it is
- 35:46the natural response.
- 35:47Speaker 3: You will hate.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Any other person who is in that advantage position outside
- 35:53of you. Can you believe that this can happen between
- 35:57a husband and a wife. You would think marriage will
- 35:59so the problem. No, sir, it can happen between siblings.
- 36:03It can happen between preachers. Or do I say this
- 36:08is what is happening among many people?
- 36:11Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 36:12Speaker 1: Now? So when you come from a background where you
- 36:15have been deprived. Now, just for your information, I know
- 36:18that most of you will know this. The highest psychological
- 36:22need of any man, whether a pastor whether a businessman,
- 36:27The highest psychological need of any man, Listen carefully, is
- 36:31the need to feel loved, the need to feel valued,
- 36:34and the need to feel appreciated or celebrated.
- 36:38Speaker 3: You may want to.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Write that down that the highest psychological need of every man,
- 36:44including you, the higher psychological need of every man, any
- 36:50man at all, is the need to feel loved. Say loved,
- 36:54Come on, shouted, can you say loved? Number two? The
- 36:57need to feel valued, and then the need to feel
- 37:02appreciated or celebrated. The need to feel loved, the need
- 37:09to feel valued, the need to feel celebrated. The higher
- 37:14psychological need of any man is not money. Why do
- 37:20you want the money as a means of achieving this?
- 37:25Why do you rejoice because you bought a better metal
- 37:28than another metal? You call it a car? Why do
- 37:31you rejoice over metals? Do you love metals that much? No, sir,
- 37:36now I'm not downplaying that. Why do you rejoice over
- 37:41sand that you constructed more.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Beautiful than another? Is it really the house?
- 37:47Speaker 1: Is it? Really the material. No, it is your pursuit
- 37:52to achieving this psychological need, the need to feel loved,
- 37:56the need to feel valued, and the need to feel
- 37:59a piated and look at me.
- 38:01Speaker 3: You become an enemy to anybody when.
- 38:05Speaker 1: You frustrate there achieving this psychological need. You become an
- 38:10enemy to anyone at all. If they learn, whether by
- 38:13experience or by rumor or by instinct, that you are
- 38:17standing the way of their feeling loved, they're feeling valued,
- 38:22or they're feeling appreciated, you.
- 38:24Speaker 3: Become their enemy immediately.
- 38:28Speaker 1: This is true for past us with members, or pastors
- 38:32among pastors.
- 38:33Speaker 3: This is true for business people. Are we together now?
- 38:36Speaker 1: The higher psychological need of any man is the need
- 38:40to feel loved, the need to feel valued, the need
- 38:43to feel appreciated. Now, most believers do not know that
- 38:46when you come into Christ, the work of renewal does
- 38:49not happen instantaneously.
- 38:51Speaker 3: And so we think.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Because we're born again automatically, all of these fleshly tendencies leave.
- 38:59So you are so trindes that envy can cohabit with
- 39:03the anointing. You can be anointed, You can be great,
- 39:06You can be a businessman, You can be vibrant spiritually,
- 39:10and yet find this cancer still growing. Medical science has
- 39:15taught us that it's possible for a baby to be growing,
- 39:17and there's a fibroad there growing too, and both of
- 39:20them will compete to grow. Am I right on that
- 39:24that the old man can be growing and the new
- 39:26man can be growing there too. Paul did not hide
- 39:29this frustration. In Romance chapter eight, he said, the things
- 39:32that I desire to do, I do not find myself
- 39:35doing them, even as an apostle. The things that I
- 39:38do not want to do, I find myself doing them.
- 39:41Speaker 3: He says. With my spirit I serve the Lord.
- 39:43Speaker 1: But in my flesh I see are not that law
- 39:46walking in my members.
- 39:47Speaker 3: He was so frustrated.
- 39:49Speaker 1: He said, all wretched man that I am, who shall
- 39:52deliver me from this body of death? Paul for you?
- 39:56Paul did not hide his frustrations. He said, listen, all Ah,
- 40:00you consider me to be an apostle. There is still
- 40:03a war that happens within my members, and God is
- 40:10dealing with one of such.
- 40:12Speaker 3: You will be surprised that when you get rid of.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Envy, you will taste of true freedom the bondage that
- 40:22envy brings.
- 40:23Speaker 3: I'm not sure many of its.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Victims are aware of the extent of bondage there in
- 40:28living in envy. And I'm praying for someone already in
- 40:31the name of Jesus, this spirit of envy, this cancer
- 40:35of envy that has robbed preachers, has robbed businessmen of
- 40:40their prophetic destiny. In this conference here raema Fist twenty
- 40:45twenty four, let it die permanently, shouted believers. Amen, let
- 40:50it die permanently. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 40:55Speaker 3: You give the heely angrace. There are heart solways hunger
- 41:03for oh heart, always listen and right.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Envy is not always about wanting to be the best.
- 41:19It is most times wanting to be the only. Envy
- 41:25is not always about wanting to be the best. It
- 41:28is about wanting.
- 41:29Speaker 3: To be the only.
- 41:34Speaker 1: One time, the disciples of Jesus, whilst she was mentoring them,
- 41:38they did not even know that envy was growing in
- 41:40their own hearts. They heard that the mother of James
- 41:45and John remember the story that she came to negotiate
- 41:48a position for them in advance, and she used that
- 41:52privilege as a mother to say, Jesus, when you are
- 41:55done with Caesar, when you're done with herold. When you
- 41:57are done with all of these, please Grandma. Sounds an
- 42:00opportunity to see that your left hand your right. The
- 42:03Bible says when the Order Disciples had it, you could
- 42:07imagine the anger in the camp. So you think we're
- 42:10here for nothing. I can imagine Peter saying, you think
- 42:12I left fishing for nothing. I wasn't doing bad.
- 42:15Speaker 3: After all, they all had their various agenda.
- 42:18Speaker 1: They hid it and kept quiet. You see, envy can
- 42:21be quiet for many years. You will think you are
- 42:24free till someone comes with the results that is notable,
- 42:28that is consistent, And there it comes again. Are we
- 42:33learning envy is not always about wanting to be the best.
- 42:44It is many times about wanting to be the only.
- 42:47And with all due respect, this is not a pastor's conference,
- 42:50but let me charge co laborers in the Gospel. This
- 42:53is one area that every preacher was fighting righteousness. It
- 42:58will not go by default, no matter how annointed you are.
- 43:02You have to become comfortable knowing that you are not
- 43:05the only one God called. I'm going to say it again.
- 43:17You have to become comfortable knowing that you are not
- 43:21the only one God called. I know your call was
- 43:25so spectacular. But it was not only you, he called.
- 43:37The spirit of envy never finds comfort even if the
- 43:41whole body is doing well. It pries in marching on
- 43:45orders until you stand alone, not knowing that in the
- 43:50kingdom being alone is dangerous. Are we together now? Being
- 43:56alone is dangerous? The Bible says this. It's not good
- 43:59for man to be alone. He was not just speaking
- 44:01in terms of marriage. He's saying is a risk when
- 44:03you are alone in business, in a sector, when you
- 44:06are alone, that sharing together that shields you. It is
- 44:13a reason why every man of God most seek to
- 44:16replicate himself. Your safety is in reproducing yourself. When you
- 44:21are alone, you become an endangered specie. When the devil
- 44:24strikes you. A whole generation can perish because of the
- 44:28pride of one person. So he told Moses, and Moses,
- 44:31you're about to die. Pour your spirit upon others. Find
- 44:35rest so that they can ease this labor for you.
- 44:38Even Jesus himself replicated himself and acts the people.
- 44:42Speaker 3: He said they should continue doing that.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Envy does not find fulfillment in being the best or
- 44:51the greatest.
- 44:52Speaker 3: It goes further to one to be alone.
- 44:56Speaker 1: You must be comfortable knowing that, no matter how spectacular
- 45:00you're calling your election, your assignment is that you are
- 45:04not alone. One time, the disciples heard that there were
- 45:08other people casting out demons.
- 45:09Speaker 3: This is in your Bible.
- 45:11Speaker 1: They were not part of the camp, and they said, Jesus,
- 45:13we need to do something about this. Our relevance has
- 45:16been threatened here. I thought we were the only ones.
- 45:18How could there be someone who does not or not Jesus?
- 45:21And yet I'm hearing that some things can we call
- 45:24them fire? Let's end this in a hurry. And Jesus
- 45:27looked at them and said, the fact that you can
- 45:30think like this, you are not I mean, phose should
- 45:33be sad. If you are with Jesus, that to me
- 45:37seems to be the highest honor everyone can have. That
- 45:40Jesus called you to be with him. And even in
- 45:43the presence of Jesus people who are still not comfortable.
- 45:50Most times people say Jesus, just give me Jesus and
- 45:52I'm fine. But now you have him and you are
- 45:54still not fine?
- 46:03Speaker 3: Are we learning?
- 46:05Speaker 1: The Disciples were with Jesus. Can you imagine the word incarnate?
- 46:10And they heard that some fellows were trying to heal
- 46:13and all of that. They would have looked on them
- 46:15with compassion and say, my God, I wish Jesus who
- 46:17call these people, even if they're using whatever power they said,
- 46:20Let's call down fire so that we end this.
- 46:23Speaker 3: We have to be the ones doing this alone.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Every time you think you are the only one doing
- 46:28what you are doing, you are already under the attack
- 46:30of delusion. Ah, there are many other sons, there are
- 46:35many other champions, there are many other warriors. Are we together?
- 46:39Do not make the mistake of Elijah. Elijah said, I'm
- 46:43the only ones. You are a great prophet, But here
- 46:46you are missing it. Run away from that feeling that
- 46:52makes you believe you are the only one God is
- 46:54using no no matter how spectatula revenge.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Julian, you invited me, allelujah. Ah, don't worry. I'll end
- 47:13by giving you the cure.
- 47:14Speaker 1: So don't.
- 47:17Speaker 3: I'm a good doctor. There's a cure.
- 47:19Speaker 1: There's both a vaccine and the treatment. Away together now.
- 47:25But now I hope you are not just laughing. We're
- 47:27dealing with serious issues here. That a man can be anointed,
- 47:32a man can be wealthy, herald hurt look or please
- 47:37herold heard that a king was born somewhere. He said,
- 47:42find that king. I want to kill that baby. That
- 47:46the baby will not even see the light of day. Question,
- 47:49I mean, isn't it embarrassing to come to the palace
- 47:52and meet the king?
- 47:53Speaker 3: Worried?
- 47:54Speaker 1: And he said, King, what was the issue? I mean,
- 47:56is there war brewing up somewhere? And he says, a
- 47:59little child. I heard that there's prophecy over that little child,
- 48:06and I am concerned about my place. Look at the
- 48:09age gap. The age gap is enough comfort to know
- 48:15that most likely by the time this child becomes an adult,
- 48:18he would be dead. And yet envy can make an
- 48:22intelligent person be that doll to reduce yourself and pursue
- 48:27undain things. A king threatened by a baby who is
- 48:35not even aware he is there.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Someone learning.
- 48:45Speaker 1: I wish I would tell you that this does not
- 48:47exist among preachers, but it does. I wish I would
- 48:51tell you that this does not exist among business people,
- 48:54but it does. I wish I would tell you that
- 48:56this does not exist among brethren in church? Does So
- 49:02here comes a powerful testimony and while others are crying,
- 49:06someone is in anger. So the triplet finally came and
- 49:13you are saying, how be deviled. Can you be that
- 49:16while others are cried and say we rejoice for this
- 49:19woman someone else. I can tell you it's a painful thing.
- 49:24But not everybody claps when you are lifted. There are
- 49:30people your arrival brings an end to their dispensation.
- 49:34Speaker 3: They will fight it.
- 49:37Speaker 1: John the Baptist who called Jesus to ministry and ordained him.
- 49:44Jesus himself submitted to John, and the Bible acknowledged that
- 49:48John was the greatest of the prophets. Let me show
- 49:51you what envy can do. It can spin over to
- 49:54offense of all sorts. When John was done, he said
- 49:58it beautifully, so that I most decrease that you will increase.
- 50:03John would have left in honor. I do not believe
- 50:06he would have ended the way he ended, but in
- 50:08anger envy. Now Jesus, some of his disciples had left,
- 50:12and they had gone to Jesus. Remember, and John had
- 50:15so deterilerated. He got to a point where he began
- 50:18to discuss other issues, and he found himself in prison.
- 50:22Speaker 3: Watch this.
- 50:24Speaker 1: John sent his disciples to go to the same Jesus
- 50:27he ordained, and said.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Are you the Messiah?
- 50:30Speaker 1: Come on, John, look what envy degenerated to offense?
- 50:36Speaker 3: Are you the Messiah?
- 50:37Speaker 1: John who said, behold the lamb of God, John who
- 50:44baptized Jesus, is now asking are you the Messiah? Even
- 50:48the scribes and the Pharisees had come to terms with
- 50:51the fact that he was the Messiah. Nicodemus came by
- 50:54night and said, we know that thou art a preacher
- 50:57sent from God. Don't mind what we do in the day.
- 51:00We already know. And here is John saying, are you
- 51:03the Messiah? Or should we expect another? The language of envy,
- 51:08the language of offense? What's Jesus? Jesus did not answer.
- 51:13He healed the sick and did all this. He said,
- 51:15go back, tell John what you have saying. And then
- 51:19it's a blessed is he who is not offended in me?
- 51:24That's my answer to John. Go back, can tell John,
- 51:27offense is about to destroy you. It's a prayer that
- 51:38I prayed for myself. It's a prayer that I've prayed
- 51:42for everyone I love, that you will shield yourself by
- 51:48revelation from this cancer of envy. It can Tony, good
- 51:54man of God, to look like a beast. It can
- 51:57Tony a good business man to look, it is a
- 52:00deplete of anything.
- 52:03Speaker 3: Add envy to anything and it reduces you to ashes.
- 52:07Speaker 1: There are people in Kenya. This is a singular problem.
- 52:11There are people in Nigeria, there are people in South Africa,
- 52:14there are people all over Africa.
- 52:16Speaker 3: They literally cannot sleep.
- 52:19Speaker 1: Because the news of what God is doing in the
- 52:21life of others is such a torture to them. They
- 52:24lose sleep, They live on drugs. You mean this man
- 52:28has purchased this property.
- 52:30Speaker 3: Again, Ah, what do we do?
- 52:32Speaker 1: Someone?
- 52:33Speaker 3: Can there be a scandal around this life?
- 52:36Speaker 1: Something that comforts me that this person is not that spectacular?
- 52:41Speaker 3: They look forward to a news. Is there something?
- 52:44Speaker 1: Can? Can you find something? The character of envy. This
- 52:49business man cannot be that spectacular. No, I'm sure he's
- 52:53doing something. This man of God cannot be that spectacular.
- 52:56I'm sure there's something. And because they are humans, you
- 53:00will find an I that was not dotte eventually, or
- 53:03a tea that was not crossed. Now, envy capitalizes on anything,
- 53:08and good news for envy when it does find something,
- 53:11and it will find because you are dealing with the
- 53:13world of men, so you find people over flogging simple
- 53:17matters is because envy is what is flogging it? Did
- 53:20you hear what I said over flogging? Simple matters? So
- 53:25the secretary forgot the file, truly, he forgot the file.
- 53:29But why are you still discussing the issue after one month? Ah,
- 53:33it's not the issue of file. You just found the file.
- 53:36Issuers escape good to help you vent out envy? Are
- 53:41we together now? Yes? Okay? The man of God cootech
- 53:45Genesis instead of John. Is that the reason they did
- 53:48alter you or receiving Jesus? They did alter salvation? Is
- 53:52it really the scripture knows? Or avern Julian put a
- 54:02wrong account number? He missed it by one? Okay, so
- 54:06you corrected?
- 54:07Speaker 3: No?
- 54:07Speaker 1: Something was I mean? How could he miss that one?
- 54:10Is it really the account number? Envy hides in anything,
- 54:16especially truth, because truth can also be used by evil,
- 54:24the Bible, says Judas.
- 54:26Speaker 3: Even though this was not a case of envy.
- 54:28Speaker 1: Judas saw a woman breaker alabasta box in front of Jesus,
- 54:32and he roared through the wings of compassion to say, no, no, no, no,
- 54:35no no, this.
- 54:36Speaker 3: Is a waste.
- 54:38Speaker 1: That was great speaking, but he spoke through empathy. He
- 54:43said the money would have been gathered, and he remembers
- 54:46and given to the poor, and the Bible says, no,
- 54:49it's not because he loved the poor. It's because he
- 54:52was a thief. So a thief can speak as a philanthropist,
- 54:57and yet he's a thief. An envious person can speak
- 55:03as a counselor, yet it is not counseling. He's not
- 55:07interested in your growth. He's venting out something. Are we together?
- 55:23Every time you find envy, it overflows simple issues. The
- 55:28goal is not correction. The goal is to reveal flaws.
- 55:33The goal of envy is to reveal flaws, and the
- 55:37point is to try to downplay, to demean anything that looks.
- 55:42Speaker 3: Spectacular so that it to find rest.
- 55:46Speaker 1: I'm saying this was because subconsciously many of us have
- 55:49found ourselves. I know some of you are laughing, but
- 55:51I'm honestly describing you in the name of honesty. You know,
- 55:55it's just that I didn't put your name.
- 55:56Speaker 3: In this story.
- 55:57Speaker 1: But I'm really talking about you. Now. You don't feel bad.
- 56:00This is ray my face. I came in the spirit
- 56:02of love away together. They hated him because of his
- 56:12father's love. They hated him because of his dream, They
- 56:17hated him because of his court. Three things that will
- 56:19make men hate you the love of your father. No,
- 56:24you're not the only one who God loves. Unfortunately, I'm
- 56:27not aware of what is happening between you and him,
- 56:30but I can only talk for myself. They hated him
- 56:33because of his father's love. They hated him because of
- 56:36his dream, the vision you was carrying. And yet the
- 56:41Bible says all men have the ability to see visions
- 56:44and to dream dreams. And they hated him because a
- 56:48court was given to him. You can be a preacher
- 56:51and a businessman, a counselor, and a diplomat.
- 56:53Speaker 3: Is too much for one person. A court of many colors.
- 56:59Speaker 1: If you have one call, oh, it's all right, But
- 57:00many colors is too spectacular. How do you see many
- 57:03colors and deny it. I'm looking at lovely women wearing
- 57:07all kinds of things, many colors, you know, And you
- 57:10see there's red, there's all kinds of things like the rainbow.
- 57:13All there, many colors. So are you a man of
- 57:20God or you're a business man? How do you excel
- 57:22in every area? It's not my fault. My father gave
- 57:25me a coat many colors, and you can be hated
- 57:33for that. I hear you a counselor. I hear you,
- 57:38a businessman. I hear you a diplomat. Hear and you're
- 57:41excelling in all areas, juggling them with efficiency. The Bible says,
- 57:46whatsoever he doeth prospers. Who is God speaking to Now?
- 57:51We're going to pray for one minute, and then I
- 57:53will show you the biblical cure to envy.
- 57:57Speaker 3: God is going to be healing us. Here.
- 57:58Speaker 1: Are you ready your voice and pray? In one minute,
- 58:03walk upon my heart. Walk upon my heart. Someone pray,
- 58:08a man of God, pray. Someone desperate for growth, pray,
- 58:13walk upon my heart. Let the spirit of envy give way.
- 58:17Some of you have recognized it in all honesty. You
- 58:20have seen that it's there. It's been there for years.
- 58:24It's time to get it out of your life. It's
- 58:26time to step into a greater level of spiritual efficiency.
- 58:38Ah ah.
- 58:47Speaker 3: Ah are you pray?
- 58:53Speaker 1: Walk upon my heart? Ah ah, Please be seated. We
- 59:07have to pray the cure for envy. I wanted to
- 59:15start on a simple note this morning, the cure for envy.
- 59:20Who pray for the.
- 59:21Speaker 3: Sick in the evening. We all need healing this morning.
- 59:25Speaker 1: And that healing is not just the healing of your body,
- 59:29because a broken spirit can dry up the bones. You
- 59:33can have a problem that is spiritual. I need to
- 59:37tell on your health. Allelujah. I want to give you,
- 59:44by scripture the cure for envy, and I give you
- 59:47a guarantee as touching the integrity of God's word that
- 59:50anyone who will engage this you will be free from envy.
- 59:56Is God helping us the unity that only comes through Christ.
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: Number one. The first cure for envy.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Is to recognize and embraise your uniqueness. Recognize and em
- 1:00:16braise your uniqueness and see your uniqueness as a blessing.
- 1:00:23Recognize and embrace your uniqueness, and then see your uniqueness
- 1:00:30as a blessing. Recognize and embrace your uniqueness. Apostle, I
- 1:00:38wish I was that articulate and intelligent like Reverend Julian.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Don't admire what may not work in your life.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Focus on something God has given you, and you'll find
- 1:00:49out that you are equally maybe not equally in all fairness,
- 1:00:52but you are uniquely I think that's a better expression.
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: You are uniquely valuable. Alle Lujah. Key number one.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: The cure to envy, recognize and embrace your uniqueness and
- 1:01:11see your uniqueness as a blessing. Someone shouted to the
- 1:01:15hearing of the devil, say I am a blessing. Don't
- 1:01:18mind how you feel. Say it against, say I am
- 1:01:20a blessing. This is a healthy indoctrination that you need,
- 1:01:27else you will not be able to survive in today's world.
- 1:01:30Pastor you are a blessing, don't tell me how many
- 1:01:33members you have while you trust God for growth. Recognize
- 1:01:37that even in that place, that church, you may not
- 1:01:41be the individual that people seem to be seeking around.
- 1:01:45But know this that I am a blessing. I'm not
- 1:01:48a burden to my world. I'm not a course to
- 1:01:50my world. Someone shouted against, say I am a blessing.
- 1:01:55Genesis chapter four. We read that earlier on verse two,
- 1:01:59the Bible said that a bell was a keeper of sheep.
- 1:02:06But then what's a tiller of the ground? A tiller
- 1:02:13of the ground, a tiller of the ground. You may
- 1:02:17not have the privilege of being called into the apostolic
- 1:02:21or the prophetic ministry, but see yourself as a counselor
- 1:02:25with nobility. Do not see yourself less. And sometimes as
- 1:02:29ministers of the gospel, we need to be careful the
- 1:02:32way we downplay and demean other functionaries within the body,
- 1:02:37there is a way you.
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: It's the same way with all your respects.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: Sometimes politicians sell certain offices. It makes certain offices look
- 1:02:45too They over they exaggerate certain things, and they make
- 1:02:49people not comfortable where they are. They want to desire
- 1:02:53certain things, and they begin to fight and kill for it.
- 1:02:56By the time you give an impression that if you
- 1:02:58are not an apostle or a prophet or a pastor,
- 1:03:03I don't know what you are doing in the Kingdom
- 1:03:04of God. Now you see that idea already categorizes certain
- 1:03:10people and it puts them in.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Certain uncomfortable positions.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: So, ministers of the Gospel, we owe it to ourselves
- 1:03:18to appreciate the diversity within the body and to do
- 1:03:22it vocally. So, especially when you are in a position
- 1:03:27by the messy of God where the nations can celebrate you,
- 1:03:30you would be in the best position to recognize and
- 1:03:33acknowledge others because now you are leveraging on that influence
- 1:03:37to make others feel good.
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: Don't make people.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Feel uncomfortable because you have arrived. No in this place
- 1:03:48right now, watch this. There are media people all across
- 1:03:51this beautiful place.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Whilst I am preaching, they are aiding your understanding. If
- 1:03:58I mention a scripture skill and intelligence as anointed as
- 1:04:02you think I am, put me behind that laptop and see.
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: How I mess up your viewing experience.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: See that, and it will be foolish of me to
- 1:04:15not acknowledge the presence of such people. When I came in,
- 1:04:18I heard worship going on, and they were lovely people dancing.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: I mean, look the beauty in this place.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: Someone's creativity is the reason why we're comfortable here. Do
- 1:04:28you know that individual is as important as the preacher
- 1:04:31who is preaching? Say I am a blessing one more time.
- 1:04:36Say it again, I am a blessing a person. I
- 1:04:39may never have the opportunity to hold the mic at
- 1:04:41rima first, but do not downplay your contribution. It is
- 1:04:45why some of us were able. I took a nice
- 1:04:48glass of water somewhere. I was well taken care of
- 1:04:51in the green room. How do you downplay that creativity?
- 1:04:55They arrived here before me. They dressed up the place
- 1:04:58before my arrival. Do not acknowledge the grace of God
- 1:05:02upon my life at the expense of their own relevance.
- 1:05:09I'm only in Caia for two days and I return back.
- 1:05:12How about the pastors that label over the people who are.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: Now here represented?
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: How do you downplay them because you believe an annointed
- 1:05:20man of God just came. It would be foolish for
- 1:05:23me to believe that I can downplay all the pastors,
- 1:05:27the prophets, the intercessors, the prayer groups.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: You see that.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: When God gives you a position of honor, a position
- 1:05:45of grace, I mean some gentlemen. I think that some
- 1:05:48ugandas were they? Those my lovely guys. Now they did something.
- 1:05:52They made a beautiful portrait. They found everyone, you know,
- 1:05:56people who are imparted upon my life, and then they
- 1:05:59put their portraits to They made one for me and
- 1:06:01one for Reverend Julian. As soon as I arrived, I
- 1:06:04was just trying to catch my breath and this gentleman came.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: That is uniqueness there. Ask me to draw you and
- 1:06:10see what I would produce.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Walk up to ten people and speak from the depth
- 1:06:19of your heart. Say you are blessing and I need
- 1:06:21your blessing. Go ahead, you are blessing. I need that
- 1:06:26blessing that is upon your life. Don't tell me what
- 1:06:30is not working in your ministry? Man of God, You
- 1:06:33are a blessing. I know you listen to my messages.
- 1:06:36What you are blessing?
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Come on now, I.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: Appreciate the unique expression of God's grace.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: As a diplomat.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: You are blessing the cure to envy.
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: God blessing. Now you return to your seat. Give Jesus
- 1:06:54a loud shout of praise. Allelujah. Away together, God bless you.
- 1:07:06Now look up, Please.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Look how healing that sounds, even what you just did.
- 1:07:12Now do you know you just delivered someone?
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: So I'm this valuable.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: I pray for you, you pray for me.
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: I love you, I.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: Need you to serve. I won't harm you with words
- 1:07:34from my mouth. Hold on, I hope you mend that
- 1:07:37line of the song because some of you have torn
- 1:07:40orders in pieces. You've used your mouth to tear businesses,
- 1:07:44tear churches down. May this be a repentance service for you. Listen,
- 1:07:52members do have to be careful.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: We are the ones who joined the heads of persos together.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: So kill two thousand Bavid ten thousand, Oh dear Saul,
- 1:08:02And Saul says, where is David? Let me kill him?
- 1:08:06The women cause that trouble. Now, now, women, I love you,
- 1:08:09I mean the women in the Bible. Are we together?
- 1:08:14They began to sing honestly celebrating a valiant man, and
- 1:08:18they said, Saul killed how many thousand, one thousand? Now
- 1:08:23David has killed ten thousand, and the news got to Saul. Ah,
- 1:08:28So I think we need to kill this man. Listen,
- 1:08:34we must be careful even how we express the things
- 1:08:38that we call testimony in church with all due respect.
- 1:08:42And I don't mean to bruise your ego. Is too early,
- 1:08:44I'm just arriving. But but but help me round up
- 1:08:51on time. But let me just have your attention. Don't
- 1:08:56come and give a testimony like we were at turning
- 1:09:00a boss from different churches. Then there was an accident
- 1:09:05and I was the only survivor. And it is because
- 1:09:08of the prophetic word Joshua Saleman gave over my life.
- 1:09:11That may be a sincere testimony. But these are the
- 1:09:14kinds of trouble with us. Can you help men of
- 1:09:18God love one another away together? Don't go around downplaying
- 1:09:33the investment of God's grace upon another preacher as a
- 1:09:37way of demonstrating the excellency of another person's work. No,
- 1:09:42don't do that. Remember we're still dealing with the commonwealth thing.
- 1:09:47Within the fold, everyone wins even when one wins.
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said?
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: We with the fold, everyone wins, even when one wins.
- 1:10:00I can share in the victory of Reverend Julian, even
- 1:10:03though I have no business with what I saw there.
- 1:10:06But it becomes my business because it's my brother. And
- 1:10:11if you have a problem with that, then talk to
- 1:10:16our father. I think he's the person, the best person
- 1:10:20in that position, so I can celebrate what he is doing, genuinely,
- 1:10:25not pretentiously.
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: Genuinely. Are we together?
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: Now?
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: You are a blessing.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: I told myself this right from before God lifted me
- 1:10:37Genesis twelfth and verse three.
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: In the I'm speaking here to a man of God
- 1:10:42who is always angry.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: When this is another man of God with greater grace,
- 1:10:46find comfort.
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: You are equally valuable.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: There is a space for you in God's program.
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: The reason why you do not find a will in
- 1:10:55an aquarium is because there's no space for the will there.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: The well is a well.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Indeed, go to the ocean, leave the aquarium peacefully, and
- 1:11:04let the fishes that have the size enough for the aquarium.
- 1:11:08A well does not beautify a house unfortunately, So don't
- 1:11:13say you are too small. You are just exact for
- 1:11:16the beauty of a room.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: Who is God speaking to Apostle?
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: I just have five members, and I don't know why
- 1:11:32I can't become like Jusan. So well, if you can
- 1:11:37build those five members to be the five billionaires, the
- 1:11:40five apostles, the five prophets in Kenya, you would have
- 1:11:45become the most successful man of God known in history.
- 1:11:50It's amazing how that we look away from all that
- 1:11:53God has done in our lives and we begin to
- 1:11:56admire orders to a point of envy, jealous sea of
- 1:12:00fence than hatred. Admire and celebrate graces and gifts, but
- 1:12:06not at the detriment of your own investment.
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: For one last time, say.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: I'm a blessing, Yes, sir, a blessing, the one who
- 1:12:15drove me, those of you who would drive me every
- 1:12:18time I come here. You notice I always tell you
- 1:12:20thank you. It's a culture, no matter how many times
- 1:12:25they drive me here taking me back, I say thank you.
- 1:12:28Why because anyone who can do for you what you
- 1:12:32cannot do for yourself or them.
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: Thanks.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: Within that field There are many beds in the body
- 1:12:39of Christ trying to swim. There are many fishes loving trees,
- 1:12:45wanting to be on trees. No, when you use fishing
- 1:12:51to rate a bird, it will remain a failure forever.
- 1:12:56There are birds that can touch the sea briefly to
- 1:12:58pick fish, but they are not meant for the sea.
- 1:13:02Stay in your area of grace and find comforts there.
- 1:13:10Appreciate message a few months ago call rise up and walk,
- 1:13:14and it was a message to empower generation. The miracle
- 1:13:19that happened to get beautiful was only the final face
- 1:13:22of the miracle. The real miracle was that the Bible
- 1:13:25says certain people carried the crippled man every day and
- 1:13:29returned him back. They were nameless, but they were the
- 1:13:32reasons why the apostle could see him. They carried him
- 1:13:36every day every day. The second miracle was that the
- 1:13:41man agreed to be carried. There are people who are crippled,
- 1:13:45but they would never agree to be carried where.
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: They will be healed. Rise up and walk.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Number two, God is healing someone right now.
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: From envy.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: What is the second key the second cure to envy gratitude? First,
- 1:14:12Thessalonians five sixteen to eighteen. Gratitude. Gratitude immunes you. It
- 1:14:19immunes you from the spirit of envy. Gratitude give it
- 1:14:25to us. Please First Thessalonians five and verse sixteen. Rejoice evermore,
- 1:14:31it says, pray without season. Then it says, in everything,
- 1:14:37give thanks for this is.
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: The will of God.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: Your condition may not be the will of God, but
- 1:14:43the aptitude of thanksgiving in all conditions is the will
- 1:14:47of God.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: Can I tell you the truth?
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: Everything you thank God for gross and it multiplies, and
- 1:14:52your appreciation of it also multiplies. Philemon, Chapter one and
- 1:14:57verse six. Here's what the Bible says. That the communication
- 1:15:01of your faith might become effectual through the acknowledging of
- 1:15:07every good thing that is in you in Christ. I
- 1:15:10like that, the acknowledging of every good thing that is
- 1:15:14in you in Christ.
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: God gave you beauty. Don't shy away from it. Thank
- 1:15:19you Jesus.
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: And if you think that's not a great gift, pray
- 1:15:24that God takes it away. Then you see how many
- 1:15:26things will be left? Are we together? God gave you
- 1:15:31intelligence that the communication of your faith becomes effectual.
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: Lord, you gave me intelligence. I thank you for it.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: You gave me a commend for leadership. Thank you. You've
- 1:15:42made me a pastor so desired by many people. Thank
- 1:15:45you you've made me a business man. You've given me
- 1:15:48ideas in the night, ideas come, and have been able
- 1:15:51to build several businesses.
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: Someone shouted from your spirit.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: Through your mouth. Say thank you Jesus one more time.
- 1:15:58Say thank you Jesus. Yes, thank him for all that
- 1:16:02he's done. Thank him for his faithfulness. When you get
- 1:16:05up in the morning, look yourself at the mirror and say,
- 1:16:07thank you. I'm wonderfully and fearfully made. I'm a testament
- 1:16:11of God's love. He's loved me with an everlasting love,
- 1:16:14and with his loving kindness, has drawn me to himself. Lord,
- 1:16:17thank you for giving me this ministry. Thank you for
- 1:16:20giving me these children. Still struggling with the third bone.
- 1:16:23He's still stubborn, But I thank you that is alive.
- 1:16:25Thank you that's in a house where he can be changed.
- 1:16:29Thank God for what He's done in your life. It
- 1:16:33is difficult to be thankful and to complain. It is
- 1:16:36difficult to thank God and be envious. Lord, you gave
- 1:16:40me this, You gave me that. The story the Parable
- 1:16:44of the talent is very instructive. I don't know why
- 1:16:47God gave the man two rather than five. The Bible says,
- 1:16:52according to their several abilities. But do you know the
- 1:16:55same commendation the man with ten God, the man with
- 1:16:59two also God. I used to think that there was
- 1:17:05no difference until I learned that the conditions that surrounded that,
- 1:17:10the temptations that came to all three, was different. The
- 1:17:14man with five had the temptation of pride and complacency.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: He had the greatest talent. He overcame that to multiply it.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: The man we two had the temptation of envy, knowing
- 1:17:25he was second place, but he still overcame and most
- 1:17:29likely was mentored by the man who had five to
- 1:17:32have replicated the same result.
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: The man who had one.
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: You say that it was messy that even brought that one,
- 1:17:39because the end of the story justifies that he did
- 1:17:42not deserve more. Thanksgiving, Father, Thank you for my life,
- 1:17:51thank you for breath, thank you for health, thank you
- 1:17:55for grace. I'm telling you sincerely, this is how I leave.
- 1:17:58I am grateful, not just because I am me. Well,
- 1:18:01I'm grateful forbidding me, but I mean I'm just grateful
- 1:18:04for being a child of God. Behold what manner of
- 1:18:07love the Father has best stored upon us. See that
- 1:18:12grateful to be me every opportunity. I don't downplay opportunities.
- 1:18:17I make every dealing of God in my life a
- 1:18:20special moment. I don't act a city would have been
- 1:18:23without God. No, I'm very vocal. Lord, Look what you've
- 1:18:27done in my life. When I'm back from every service,
- 1:18:30including this one, I will go down my knee and
- 1:18:32say thank you. Your boy has come to say thank you.
- 1:18:35That messy again, you're messy and your grace. Yes, sir,
- 1:18:41I mean it. I mean it. It's not because I'm
- 1:18:43standing on stage here, hallelujah. I had the honor this
- 1:18:48year to be invited for a lecture at Harvard University, and.
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: It was a very humbling time.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Not to preach, to deliver a lecture, it's a great honor.
- 1:19:04It's a different thing if a church calls you to speak,
- 1:19:08but when an academic institution, one of the most prestigious
- 1:19:12by any standard, that they call you as a preacher.
- 1:19:16I'm not an academician. I don't consider myself one. I'm
- 1:19:20passionate about knowledge. But to invite you an institution will
- 1:19:24not risk their reputation on sentiments. And so I remember
- 1:19:33getting down my knees as a father.
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: If it ever happens good in my life, you are
- 1:19:41the reason, and I say thank you. Someone needs to
- 1:19:45say thank you Jesus. That every time you slatt in
- 1:19:49your atm and something comes out, say.
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: Thank you Jesus.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: The Bible said, trusting the Lord with all your heart
- 1:19:55perhaps chapter three and verse five, and lean not onto
- 1:19:58your own understanding, he says, and all your ways acknowledge him,
- 1:20:03and it shall.
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: Direct your path.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: Verse seven says, be not wise in your own eyes.
- 1:20:08It says, hear the Lord, and depart from evil. If
- 1:20:13God is giving you victory ministry, always say thank you Jesus.
- 1:20:18Don't just say it in the secret, say it in
- 1:20:20the open. When you can thank God for your life,
- 1:20:23you can thank others for their contribution to your life.
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: Say thank you Jesus. So number one, appreciate your uniqueness.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: See your uniqueness as a blessing, as an advantage. Embrace
- 1:20:38your uniqueness. Number two. Gratitude number three are you ready
- 1:20:42the cure for envy? Number three very quickly is content
- 1:20:47for growth and increase in capacity the cure for envy.
- 1:20:53Contend for growth and increase in capacity. Long as you
- 1:21:00are small, and you remain small, you will not be
- 1:21:03free from envy. Contend for growth. Galatians one, verse one.
- 1:21:07An air, he says, for.
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: As long as that air is a child, he says.
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: He differed nothing from a slave, even though he be
- 1:21:18Lord of all. That means it is your inheritance in Christ. Oh, yes, inheritance.
- 1:21:25I can spend the whole day talking about that inheritance.
- 1:21:30That the inheritance that a believer has is not unique
- 1:21:33to anyone believer. The inheritance that the saints have in
- 1:21:37light is generic, access to grace, access to wisdom, access
- 1:21:42to the Holy Spirit, access to the resources of the world,
- 1:21:46and that you can use these as tools to create
- 1:21:49a great destiny. The Bible says, the same Lord is
- 1:21:52rich onto all. The same Lord is rich. He does
- 1:21:56not show favoritetism. God does not have.
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: Grandsons, He has sons. Sons. Behold what manner of love
- 1:22:07the Father has best.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: Thought upon us that we should be called the sons
- 1:22:10of God. The Bible says, now are we the sons
- 1:22:13of God? And it doth not yet appear what we
- 1:22:16shall be like. But the Bible says that's Romance. Chapter eight,
- 1:22:21from verse eighteen, It says, I reckon that the sufferings
- 1:22:25of this present time are not worthy to be compared
- 1:22:28with the glory that shall be revealed in us. Verse
- 1:22:31nineteen says for the endness expectation of the creature awaited,
- 1:22:36the manifestation, not of one son, not of one unique son,
- 1:22:41not one apostolic son, not one prophetic son, the sons
- 1:22:45of God. That means there is a place for you.
- 1:22:48That table of greatness has a place for you. But
- 1:22:51it will happen by growth and capacity.
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: Growth and capacity.
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: Go. There are many people who are victims of envy
- 1:23:05today because there are many requests. I was teaching my people,
- 1:23:09and I told them many things we call prayer requests
- 1:23:12were supposed to come to your life naturally through growth.
- 1:23:18Growth can deflate a man's prayer requests.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: Many of the.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: Things that we say God bring to my life were
- 1:23:25designed to come through growth.
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: If the vessel is small, it makes the oil look small.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: The oil is never small, but it assumes the shape
- 1:23:37of the container carrying it.
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: You see that now.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: We can all be great, We should all be great.
- 1:23:46It's in our corporate destiny as believers. Let me repeat
- 1:23:50that again, choosing my words carefully. It's in our corporate
- 1:23:54destiny as believers to all be great, literally great.
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: In business, in ministry.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: In politics and governance, in leadership, in every end, devil
- 1:24:10in life.
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: It's a corporate destiny. But there's no potential for glory
- 1:24:16to anyone who does not contend for growth. Contend for growth.
- 1:24:21Look chapter two and verse fifty two.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: And Jesus increased, increased, increased in wisdom.
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: You're Jesus increased in favor.
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: He increased in stature, and in favor with God and
- 1:24:35with men, with God and with men. Someone says I
- 1:24:38will grow. Shouted, say I will grow. Say it again,
- 1:24:43say I will grow. First cor interns Chapter three and
- 1:24:46verse two. Man of God, you can grow. You can
- 1:24:50become a greater version of yourself. Business man, There's no
- 1:24:54point envying another person. There's space for you. You don't find.
- 1:24:57You hardly find two aircraft crashing in the sky. The
- 1:25:01space is too wide, no matter what going, whatever it is.
- 1:25:05Once you only find traffic on ground. Once you lived
- 1:25:08to the sky. There's enough space, love space. I have
- 1:25:15fed you with milk and not with meat. Why for
- 1:25:19eitherto you were not able to bear it. Neither are
- 1:25:23you now able. There are many of you God wants
- 1:25:26who do much in your life as a man of God.
- 1:25:29It's in your corporate destiny. There are certain anointings that
- 1:25:33come to your life, but they were authorized to come
- 1:25:35to a certain version of you. That anointing has not
- 1:25:38found the version it is looking for, so it keeps
- 1:25:40going back. It will have to wait on until you
- 1:25:43grow apostle. God told me he's going to be trusting
- 1:25:47me with ten thousand members twenty fifty thousand. No, this
- 1:25:51version of you will be a destruction and a casualty
- 1:25:56if God should sell you like that to the nations. No.
- 1:25:59God is also a business man. He doesn't sell bad products.
- 1:26:02He can work on it. He's called the porter. So
- 1:26:07if the clay is not well done, he smashes it
- 1:26:10and builds it again.
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: And he does that for his name's sake.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Namesake means his logo is on you, and he protects
- 1:26:18his image.
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: God does not deliver a bad job. No.
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: When you see a Louiston or a Gucci or whatever
- 1:26:30it is, and you look at it and that shoe,
- 1:26:33you see something that you just know that someone someone
- 1:26:37has brought in a fake product, because even though the
- 1:26:40right logo is there there, there are certain indeces. You
- 1:26:44have to find the detailing and when it is missing.
- 1:26:47That's how God is. So when you are bankrupt of character,
- 1:26:50bankrupt of this, God says, no putting an anointing on this.
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: Kind of person. Now, I'd rather walk on the person.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: So while you are fasting for power, what God will
- 1:26:59be working on his character? Fast and you're saying, Lord,
- 1:27:03is it that you can't bring? Just bring the anointing?
- 1:27:05We deal with character Laterwn, God, there's no I don't
- 1:27:09work like that.
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: Allelujah.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: Growth and capacity, Reverend Julian did not start this way.
- 1:27:20I've had the honor of attending the Rima first for
- 1:27:23a few years, and I've seen the growth and progression.
- 1:27:26Do you know when you grow, everything grows. Stop trying
- 1:27:30to get everything to grow. Just grow. When you grow,
- 1:27:33everything will rise to match your growth.
- 1:27:37Speaker 3: Don't try to change friends when you've not grown.
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: And everybody you draw people who are in your future
- 1:27:45your future self should be the one relating with them.
- 1:27:48Just because you save their numbers does not mean there
- 1:27:50in your rem No try to call them, they won't
- 1:27:54answer you. It's a message imagine. I hope you're not
- 1:28:00insulted a way together. It's good to grow. It's like
- 1:28:11someone with all your respect and not to insult you.
- 1:28:13It's like someone who buys the latest SUV that came
- 1:28:16out this year, and you find a person with a
- 1:28:18galon hoping to look for fuel and put inside. You
- 1:28:21are not there because when you grow, all the things
- 1:28:25that support that level also grow with you. Relationships, resources, access.
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: This is one where you measure authentic growth.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: When you become wealthy by stealing, there will the equation
- 1:28:38does not balance. Something else will not grow that should
- 1:28:41support that. If you're just looking for an experience to
- 1:28:46challenge yourself, that's fine. But I mean if you want
- 1:28:49to exist in a realm, no, there are some things
- 1:28:52you should preserve your own and leave until you grow.
- 1:28:56So sometimes when God hides you, it's his way of
- 1:28:59metting not messy.
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: So that it matters how you are sold to the world.
- 1:29:05I hate to use that word, but I hope you
- 1:29:07understand what I mean.
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: When you sell a product, you are causing people to
- 1:29:11desire that product, and you have to because impression matters.
- 1:29:16Impression matters. So God wants to fix you, to walk
- 1:29:21on you, add on you, and then tell the world
- 1:29:24this is what I can do with people who are yielded,
- 1:29:28and in one moment you become a voice of healing.
- 1:29:31You become a voice of grace. So stop converting certain
- 1:29:37things in anger and envy. It is already in your destiny.
- 1:29:42Just grow to the version that would have that apost
- 1:29:48I'm trusting God to be able to host a meeting
- 1:29:50like this by myself. Okay, let me speak as a
- 1:29:56consult and so show me.
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: Let me see.
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: I can't tell you with professying, I can tell you
- 1:30:01whether you're wasting your time or whether to come to pass.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: Show me the capacity, the network. Are we together? Do
- 1:30:10you know how to negotiate for these kinds of things?
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: Do you know the factors that need to be in
- 1:30:15place for such an event to hold? I don't think
- 1:30:18I'm not interested. Then you will not have it. And
- 1:30:23the greatest way to step into a destiny you desire
- 1:30:28is to appreciate the one that now models for you
- 1:30:31what you desire, while learning from it. That's why I
- 1:30:35celebrate and respect all the pastors who have left their
- 1:30:38busy schedules to come for in my.
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: First to be inspired and to learn. Two things. To
- 1:30:45be inspired and to learn.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: If you see a level of excellency beyond what you know,
- 1:30:51don't assume you've always known it.
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: No, your results show you don't know it. So learn,
- 1:30:55lean with humility. When I sit here, I learn.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: I learn. I'm passionate about knowing what else is not
- 1:31:02working in my life. Don't be embarrassed. Learn Learn.
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: Why do I invite people and they don't come?
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Learn the level of the foolish, weary at every one
- 1:31:17of them because he knows not how to get.
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: To the city.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: There is a way to influence, There is a way
- 1:31:24to power. There is a way to access resources. How
- 1:31:27did Pastor Julian coordinate favor from all of these parastatus,
- 1:31:31these businesses that I'm in partnership with him? He was
- 1:31:34not born that way. Men define their possibilities through growth.
- 1:31:40They define their possibilities through growth. Business man, thank God
- 1:31:44for what you have done. But if you remain small
- 1:31:47and you don't grow, you will envy everybody. Man of God,
- 1:31:50Thank God for where you are. But do you know
- 1:31:53there are great that there are still virgin dimensions in
- 1:31:56the spirit content for growth, and the way you do
- 1:31:59it is by coming for events like this to expose
- 1:32:02you to what God can do with a yielded vessel.
- 1:32:05You go back provoked onto Godliness, not from a standpoint
- 1:32:09of jealousy. Lord the same Lord is rich onto all.
- 1:32:13Let me carry this fire to my nation too. Let
- 1:32:16me carry this fire too. I remember many.
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: Years ago I used to watch Ren hurt Bunk.
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: Please sit down for a moment. I used to watch
- 1:32:23renin hurt Bunk. I attended his crusades. I mean I
- 1:32:28saw tens of thousands of people, very honest human personality,
- 1:32:33and worst off, he would come and preach a very
- 1:32:36simple message and knowingly simple sometimes. And you know, when
- 1:32:41you have an investment of God's grace, the spirit of revelation,
- 1:32:43and it comes with pride too, So sometimes you just
- 1:32:47to shelve those things. If He's not working in your life,
- 1:32:50it is not their period. You've heard my story. I
- 1:32:56think I've shard it many times in Keia that in
- 1:32:58one of the events.
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: So I came early because I desired that grace. No
- 1:33:05room for envy. Who is ahead of you is ahead
- 1:33:08of you, period.
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: Don't argue and waste time and explain away you are
- 1:33:12you are?
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: You are worsted in the pain?
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: Are we together? I remember I went for the Crusade
- 1:33:23gram to the Crusade ground with hunger, and I saw
- 1:33:27them willing people, and I said, please let me participate.
- 1:33:31And I said, well, you're not part of the committee.
- 1:33:32I said, I travel a long distance here. Committee or
- 1:33:35no committee. I have to serve disgrace. I held onto
- 1:33:38the wheelchair. God is my witness. I was willing them
- 1:33:40to the front, and I said, Lord, this is how
- 1:33:43it also be in my meetings. No room for envy.
- 1:33:48Wouldn't it be stupid for you to hear that Amin
- 1:33:51being re is in it? Not laughable and childish. No,
- 1:33:58who is ahead of you is ahead of you. Just
- 1:34:02find comfort and teach yourself that they were ahead of you,
- 1:34:09so that they will guide you to get there too.
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: When I was watching Pastor Julian as he was just
- 1:34:18choning out these strategies, I said, my God, you see.
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: This grace bar. If it's not on your head, it's
- 1:34:24not there. I'm telling you. I'm telling you Daniel. Chapter two.
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: He says, then the secret was revealed onto Daniel. If
- 1:34:31it's not, you can crack your brain and read books.
- 1:34:34But once it doesn't come, it's not there. But when
- 1:34:37it comes, it shows. I'm praying for you that which
- 1:34:41is meant for you, because you have come here to
- 1:34:44contend for growth. In the course of this conference made
- 1:34:47the man to for the niew the grace for a
- 1:34:50higher dimension.
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: May it rest up on you in the name of
- 1:34:54Jesus Christ.
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: When I came in here and I saw our father
- 1:35:00and the Lord, I was so happy to see him,
- 1:35:02and we just exchanged pleasant traits, and I was eager
- 1:35:05to ask him questions. You see, this was a man
- 1:35:09that most likely when I was born, or when I
- 1:35:12was a child, he was already interpreting at the crusades
- 1:35:15of Maurica Rulo. Here in Kenya. How do you now
- 1:35:19come to compare yourself because of crowd or travels. It
- 1:35:24is the foolishness of the younger generation. It is the
- 1:35:27reason why many fathers are dying with their mantles, because
- 1:35:32we do not know what weight is in the spirit.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: A man may passed up ten.
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: Members, but the weight that man carries in the spirit.
- 1:35:45There is something called the king maker anointing. Kingmakers never
- 1:35:50become kings, but the enthroned kings and the throned kings.
- 1:35:57So be careful. There are people you see who may
- 1:36:00not have the zemblance of certain results.
- 1:36:03Speaker 3: But there is there is a depth, There is a
- 1:36:06convenant they have with God.
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: You would have called another prophet as a failure, but
- 1:36:12it was harsh. She was one of the three prophets
- 1:36:14that spoke to Jesus and spoke over Jesus, and so
- 1:36:18when I saw him, I was in a hurry to
- 1:36:20honor him when our father. Yeah, I do not know him, Please, sits.
- 1:36:24I almost feel embarras that he is standing. You see
- 1:36:27that a person? Do you have to do that?
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: That's why you not rise.
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: That's why many young people would not rise, because they
- 1:36:34wouldn't lend. Take what I'm saying seriously, you are hearing
- 1:36:37you insult everyone. Once, I am richer than you have
- 1:36:41more crowds. I think I'm better know, sir. It doesn't
- 1:36:44work that way. There are rankings in the spirit. Acknowledge
- 1:36:49it with comfort. Are we together now? Yes? When I
- 1:36:55stepped out of the hotel, the Man of God, I'm
- 1:36:57just seeing him for the first time. He just greeter
- 1:36:59than we exchanged. And I acknowledge and honor him. Find
- 1:37:05comfort in knowing that if I grow, or when I grow,
- 1:37:11that grace that I covet some of you, the people
- 1:37:14you now admire. The truth is that you're calling, and
- 1:37:16your election is even greater than the grace you are envying.
- 1:37:20But because you have not grown, God will have to
- 1:37:22make do with the vessel available until you rise. You
- 1:37:26are admiring prophets or apostles, not knowing that you have
- 1:37:30been ordained to be a cotting edge apostle, a cotting
- 1:37:35edge prophet. But because you have not grown, every scripture
- 1:37:39you quote is wrong. Come on, go back and do
- 1:37:41your homework. Don't say God just annoys me anyhow. Be serious.
- 1:37:45Read books on church administration, read books on leadership.
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: Settle down, pray on.
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: Fast, build character, build your work, content, build genuine power,
- 1:37:55and then the gates of the nations will be open.
- 1:37:58So don't go around corvet in. People's listen. Don't convert
- 1:38:02a man's crown without coveting the cross that he died in.
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: It's the cross that leads to the throne. Are we together?
- 1:38:14How did I get here? Let's round up? Pleaseit down,

- 1:38:29it as a blessing.

- 1:38:36lights lights.
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: Shamas, sober lika, parodia, sabat.
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: You are stepping into a level of grace. Will leave
- 1:38:47that for evening light.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: As I just said this, I saw light, just like
- 1:38:52a flash of light light that someone God is saying.
- 1:38:57I should tell you that you have tarried long enough
- 1:39:00in this realm. There is there, There are dimensions. You
- 1:39:04have entered board offense and bitterness has talked you. God
- 1:39:08sent me to preach this message. You are truly a
- 1:39:11man of God, and there is grace upon you.
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: You are in the making. But you tear down everybody.
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: Tear down you admire them sincerely and convert what they
- 1:39:21carry for you.
- 1:39:22Speaker 3: Fight them as a way of dealing with jealousy.
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: You will never get that.
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: Get it that way God is speaking to you. Let
- 1:39:29let this teaching be.
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: A circumcision, a cutting away of the old, and to
- 1:39:34bring you into the new.
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: Allelujah. Preparing for the new. Please write this. We have
- 1:39:50to finish.
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: I've given you three number four, the fourth key to
- 1:39:59deal with envy is to submit yourself to prayer.
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: James five thirteen.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: The spirit of envy is an affliction, and the Bible says,
- 1:40:10is any man afflicted, he says, let him pray.
- 1:40:17Speaker 3: Father.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: This heart and this hatred I have towards this preacher,
- 1:40:22this woman, this business woman. It is demonic because the
- 1:40:26character of love is not that way. You go back,
- 1:40:30rather than arguing things around, go and deal with it,
- 1:40:33my God. Ah, there's such an open heavens. Yeah. I
- 1:40:36thought that this would leave this for evening. But what
- 1:40:38is God doing now this afternoon? Hell and saba Laco
- 1:40:44sabraki barandos theater helepara shadi la mar serveestus.
- 1:40:51Speaker 3: You are firsted. You have prayed.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: Hear what I'm saying. You are firsted, you have prayed.
- 1:40:57This is a prophetic word for someone God is and
- 1:41:00I should tell you deal with envy and deal with
- 1:41:03lost two things. There is a man of God. This
- 1:41:06is a prophetic word for you. The Lord is saying
- 1:41:09you are faster and you have prayed. But what is
- 1:41:11stopping you from entering the annointing of the new.
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: Deal with envy and deal with lost these two things.
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: When you get them out of the way, the mantle
- 1:41:21of your destiny will fall upon you. Write it down.
- 1:41:25Envy lost. This is a prophetic word for a man
- 1:41:28of God.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: Deal with it, deal with it.
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: Submit yourself to prayer. You see, the greatest assignment of.
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: Prayer that I know is for your growth and transformation, Reverend.
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: Julian, Men can pray old, canal flesh, sensual version of
- 1:41:53versions of themselves, and pray. I always give the example
- 1:41:57of a snake molting. Have you seen how reptiles mold?
- 1:42:00They come out of your former self. That's what prayer does.
- 1:42:04Look nine twenty nine. And as he prayed, the fashion
- 1:42:08of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white
- 1:42:13and glistering. You can pray yourself into a more spiritual
- 1:42:18version of yourself.
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: You can pray out jealousy, Pray out envy, Pray out you.
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: Know, backbiting, Pray out the desire to rejoice over the
- 1:42:28downfall of orthers.
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: When you find that cancer around, shut down and go
- 1:42:33for a retreat.
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: Why am I envying my sister? Why am I envying
- 1:42:37another man of God? Rather than celebrating. I hear the
- 1:42:41good news that this is what God is doing with
- 1:42:43Reverend Julian. Why what is this thing that is forming
- 1:42:47in my heart? You lock yourself in the place of prayer.
- 1:42:50Certain you will not get a hold of me, Not
- 1:42:52this time. I'm a matured believer. Shakatos kiata and break
- 1:42:57a paruskatier, break out.
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: Of that shell of flesh.
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Somebody say, I will pray, shouted say I will pray,
- 1:43:13Roman Chapter ten and verse twelve. I'll give you one
- 1:43:16more then we're done. Romans ten twelve. The Bible says,
- 1:43:25for there is no difference between the jew and the Greek,
- 1:43:30the South African, the Kenyan, the Nigerian, the Ghanian. As
- 1:43:35far as accessing your inheritance is concerned, it says, the
- 1:43:39same lord, the same lord who lifted Reverend Julian, the
- 1:43:43same lord who lifted our father and our mother here,
- 1:43:46and the Lord the same Lord was lifted every man
- 1:43:49of God here. The same Lord was lifted every kingdom
- 1:43:52business in Kenya and across East Africa. He said, the
- 1:43:56same Lord is rich onto all, not all that want him,
- 1:44:00all that call upon him. Further, you have shown my
- 1:44:05brother kindness. The same Lord is rich onto all. I
- 1:44:08pray by.
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: Messy that you make the same investment in my life.
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: And you pray, and because of the purity of your heart,
- 1:44:15God will grant it onto you.
- 1:44:17Speaker 3: Someone say I will pray. Now you can go to
- 1:44:20James chapter four.
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: Remember it says you have not because you as you kill,
- 1:44:26not knowing that the same thing is available in prayer,
- 1:44:30you kill, you look down on orthers. The healing anointing
- 1:44:34that came upon one person is still available. There are
- 1:44:37still more people who are sick who may never come
- 1:44:40to his school. Say God is looking for more healing hands,
- 1:44:43So why envy? Whereas you can go to God and say, Father,
- 1:44:48these hands are available.
- 1:44:49Speaker 3: Take them to the nations. May they become extensions of
- 1:44:52your power.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: And like Jabez, God will hear you and deposited grace
- 1:44:57upon your life.
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: Is someone learning pray.
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: Foreign your presence there is life everlasting.
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: I we reverence.
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: You know there are two people who are going to
- 1:45:20begin to run. Now, please hold them so they don't
- 1:45:22enjoy themselves. There is a grace that is coming on
- 1:45:25two of them.
- 1:45:28Speaker 4: For in your presence there is life everlasting. I we reverence.
- 1:45:38Speaker 5: You lo.
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: Will have the time for importation later on. But Reverend Julian,
- 1:45:49I sense with all my heart. That's something God has
- 1:45:53placed upon your life. There are at least five people
- 1:45:57in this place.
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: That that grace, honestly, and I know that people shout
- 1:46:04on a the annointing in churche.
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: But but the five day've desired this investment of the spirit,
- 1:46:12and truly it's in their call. It's not just a
- 1:46:14canal mundane desire. I don't know where the five are,
- 1:46:18but I pray for you, apostolic exploits in the marketplace.
- 1:46:28Let that grace by messy, Let it locate you right
- 1:46:32where you are. Let it locate you right where you are.
- 1:46:36Let it locate you. Let it give you a standing.
- 1:46:40Male and female doesn't matter. The same Lord who called
- 1:46:45on his man servant and placed oil upon his life.
- 1:46:50According to Psam's eighteen nine twenty and twenty one, I
- 1:46:53have found David my servant, and he says, with my
- 1:46:56holy oil, I have anointed him. I'm praying for you
- 1:46:59in the name of Jesus, that the grace that God
- 1:47:01has placed upon your servant.
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: May that grace rest upon you in the name of Jesus.
- 1:47:06Please sit down. Let me give you the last key,
- 1:47:10the last.
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: Key that fights envy, the final nail that buries envy
- 1:47:19in the life of anyone. Is to walk in love.
- 1:47:27Walk in love, Collosians Chapter three. Walk in love Sanni
- 1:47:38mala cocia Pradowskia Colosians three, fourteen and fifteen. Is to
- 1:47:44be our final scripture in dealing with the spirit of envy.
- 1:47:50Above all these, read the first four words, please one, two,
- 1:47:59go one more time. And above you're praying, above your fasting,
- 1:48:12above your contending for growth. Above all this, it says,
- 1:48:19put on love. KJV says charity. But the word there
- 1:48:24is love, and the Bible calls it the bond of perfection.
- 1:48:29It brings perfection to everything you have.
- 1:48:34Speaker 3: Put on love. Put on love. Put on love. When
- 1:48:43it has to do with love.
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: The only way you get it is by asking the
- 1:48:47Holy Spirit to point in you. The love of God
- 1:48:51will shared abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit.
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: So when you find yourself working in hate, bitterness, envy,
- 1:49:03you go to.
- 1:49:03Speaker 1: God in the place of prayer. Father, your love is
- 1:49:08not richly established in my life. Take away this spirit
- 1:49:11of hate. Let me be able to celebrate the victory.
- 1:49:14Let me celebrate your hand upon others and be comfortable
- 1:49:18with it. You see love.
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: Did you know that's the meaning of my name. What
- 1:49:25a good name? Selman means a way to love, way
- 1:49:33to love.
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: You never see me fight anybody's ministry, fight anybody's If
- 1:49:44I have a problem with you, I pray for you
- 1:49:46from a distance and wish you well.
- 1:49:50Speaker 3: You see that.
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: Never get yourself in a position where you become the reason.
- 1:49:57Speaker 3: For the pain of others. It is not noble. It
- 1:50:02is not noble that a.
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: Preacher is crying caught to see you, and you sleep
- 1:50:08sound and wake up that an individual is going down.
- 1:50:11You close the business door because of mismanagement of this spirit,
- 1:50:16this cancer.
- 1:50:19Speaker 3: And it is amazing how many.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: People will go behind and stab you, then call other
- 1:50:24people and say you are bleeding.
- 1:50:27Speaker 3: So this man is bleeding.
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: I mean, who would be so wicked to cause this
- 1:50:30man to bleed? And then they see the evidence of
- 1:50:33the blood on your own hands, working in love. I've
- 1:50:40seen God do more in my life because of love
- 1:50:45than because of prayer. I know you will not believe this.
- 1:50:48I'm a man of prayer, by the grace of God.
- 1:50:51I'm a man of the world by the grace of God.
- 1:50:53But there are rems that even prayer warriors cannot get there.
- 1:50:58Speaker 3: The Bible says, no eye has.
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: No ear has heard, neither has it entered into the
- 1:51:06heart of man. The things that God has in store
- 1:51:10for lovers.
- 1:51:12Speaker 3: This one is a realm of love. You can pray
- 1:51:16from a corrupt heart. You come fast from a corrupt heart.
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: Envy can be the sponsor of your fasting because you
- 1:51:25want it to so that nobody disrespects you. Unfortunately, God
- 1:51:30vets the heart of men before he extends his hands
- 1:51:32to them. But when you have love that you wish
- 1:51:37everyone well. When you hear that this person's company has
- 1:51:41a problem, you wish them well. Even if they hate you,
- 1:51:44you wish them well and leave them in peace. You see,
- 1:51:47you have secured yourself. Most people become vulnerable to demonic
- 1:51:52attacks because they do not know the power of working
- 1:51:55in love. I learnt, Ellie, that.
- 1:51:58Speaker 3: Love never fails.
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: Love never fails.
- 1:52:06Speaker 3: Now you will look like a fool while you are
- 1:52:09practicing love.
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: Many people will take you for granted, like they've taken
- 1:52:13many of you for granted.
- 1:52:14Speaker 3: What can I tell you?
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: At the end, love always wins. You know what killed
- 1:52:19death defeated sin. It was not power, It was love.
- 1:52:23Even what power could.
- 1:52:24Speaker 3: Not do love?
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: Did there remain at these three Faith that moves mountains,
- 1:52:31Hope that make it not a shame?
- 1:52:33Speaker 3: And love? The Bible says, the greatest is love.
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: When he was done talking about the gifts of the spirit,
- 1:52:40Reverend Julian he mentioned all the gifts of the spirit
- 1:52:44in First God Interns, chapter twelve. He said, even with this,
- 1:52:47let me show you a more excellent way than he
- 1:52:51goes to chapter thirteen. A more excellent way of preaching
- 1:52:55is to preach in love. A more excellent way of
- 1:52:58doing business is to do business in love. A more
- 1:53:02excellent way of counseling is to counsel in love. A
- 1:53:06more excellent way of rebuking is to rebuke in love.
- 1:53:10Once you take away the love factor, even if what
- 1:53:13you are doing is right, it becomes destroyed love. Every
- 1:53:22time I come into this nation, I will celebrate every
- 1:53:27man of God that I have the opportunity to meet.
- 1:53:30Doesn't matter whether you are great, doesn't matter whether you
- 1:53:33are small. Once you are calling the name of the
- 1:53:35Lord and you are called to the service of.
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: The kingdom, I honor you.
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: And even if you are not in ministry, the Bible says,
- 1:53:42honor all men then he says, honor the King, not
- 1:53:47all men. If I find someone sweeping in front of me,
- 1:53:50I will greet you with honored respect.
- 1:53:52Speaker 3: I still remember where he took me from.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: If I find you scrubbing the toilet for me to
- 1:54:01make the room conducive, you are deserving of my honor.
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: You see that. Now, Men of God, listen, let me
- 1:54:08challenge us. And I wrapped up with this. There are
- 1:54:16many things that make me love your pastor.
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: His passion for God, his diligence, that sense of innovation.
- 1:54:26But in my opinion, the greatest thing about Reverend Julian
- 1:54:30that has drawn.
- 1:54:31Speaker 3: Me to him is the sincerity of his love sooth.
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: And I'm saying this sincerely, Hallelujah. I'll be saying this
- 1:54:43for the first time. His mum is here. I love
- 1:54:46the family. You would think I've told myself I'm one
- 1:54:49of the sons. Still, mamm did something the last time
- 1:54:53I came that touched me. Mama brought a pen last year.
- 1:55:04I still remember. It's a golden pen, and this pen
- 1:55:08belonged to revenge Julian's father. And after Mama hugged me
- 1:55:12and gave me a big kiss, she brought that pen
- 1:55:14as a gift and gave it to me.
- 1:55:17Speaker 3: Thank you, love. I will honor her in life, and
- 1:55:26even the day she sees his face, she still deserves
- 1:55:28my honor.
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, it is not always revelation
- 1:55:35and anointing that draws members.
- 1:55:38Speaker 3: Your love life is a greater weakness.
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: It brings beauty and authenticity to your person. You can
- 1:55:45have all the revelation you have and people who hate you,
- 1:55:49and if a generation hates you, you will pay for it.
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: I tell you that in advance, if.
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: A generation decides to hate you, that you do not
- 1:55:58secure favor with them. Always about manifestations and power and
- 1:56:03good preaching and business acumen. Sometimes it's about love, the
- 1:56:08way you treat others, the sincerity.
- 1:56:11Speaker 3: The authenticity of your person.
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: I supported how while I was here, and every time
- 1:56:21I come, I received my doors of the hog for
- 1:56:22the year. So my mind's going to give me my
- 1:56:25own hog for the year. Now I'm a man of God.
- 1:56:29When I'm done, I received the hog of a son, Allelujah.
- 1:56:39And in that hog, you see how many things virtue
- 1:56:45pouring from my heart. A mother who can raise a
- 1:56:49son like this should hug you.
- 1:56:56Speaker 3: I hope you are learning.
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: When I honor our father's, even the fathers in this land,
- 1:57:02it is because they have given us the opportunity to
- 1:57:06learn from their scars without experiencing their pain. They are
- 1:57:09deserving of our honor. Let me challenge you, every young
- 1:57:14man in ministry here. Anytime you see any elderly person,
- 1:57:19particularly ministry, swallow your pride and honor them. I don't
- 1:57:24care what revelation you have. I don't care how many
- 1:57:27churches and parishes honor them. Let's restore honor. This is
- 1:57:32where both culture and spirituality meet. That honor, even to
- 1:57:36eld us, is noble. My final words, Envy is a killer.
- 1:57:44Envy is a cancer. Envy is a destroyer.
- 1:57:49Speaker 3: But like I've taught you, use.
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: These keys fight it. Do not allow this conference finish.
- 1:57:56That unit in the spirit can never be attained with envy.
- 1:58:02I celebrate my friend and brother. He celebrates me genuinely.
- 1:58:07You see that now, sincerely. So Sometimes he will just
- 1:58:10send me a lovely text, and I say, oh, dear,
- 1:58:12look at this man. He should be busy doing something else,
- 1:58:15and now he's sending me a wonderful text.
- 1:58:18Speaker 3: Can you be like that? Can people be comfortable when
- 1:58:21they see you.
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: Can they share the good news of God's workings in
- 1:58:24their lives and not.
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: Say they made a mistake telling it to you.
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: Because your heart is so pungent that every time people
- 1:58:32tell you anything good they.
- 1:58:33Speaker 3: Regretted later on.
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: Because there is a personality within you that fights everything God.
- 1:58:40Speaker 3: God placed it upon his.
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: Servant, and he sent me here alongside all the great
- 1:58:46vessels who have shared and will be sharing in the
- 1:58:48course of this.
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: Conference to charge you.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: You can pray, you can first, you can study, you
- 1:58:56can be diligent, but if you don't deal with envy
- 1:59:00becomes a cancer that will become a mountain and need
- 1:59:03to stop you from going forward.
- 1:59:05Speaker 3: Whilst you're seated, hold.
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: Someone if you can, as far as your hands can,
- 1:59:08stretch your left and you're right, let the healing process begin.
- 1:59:17Speaker 3: Africa needs to be healed from envy. We have killed
- 1:59:21ourselves by ourselves.
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: The businessmen in Africa did not die from others who
- 1:59:27came from other places. We need to repent. We have
- 1:59:31killed our profits. We have killed our apostles. We have
- 1:59:35killed our missionaries. We have killed the finest. They didn't
- 1:59:39go to battle, they died at home. We kill them
- 1:59:43because of their dreams. We kill them because of envy.
- 1:59:46There are many passers here who maybe are even discouraged.
- 1:59:51Where they thoughts they will get comfort they were stap
- 1:59:54there where they thoughts they will find love. There are
- 1:59:58many homes today. When you hear that your broad eyes crying,
- 2:00:02you begin to rejoice. I told him, rather than feeling
- 2:00:06that pain. Someone pray, Lord, we repent as a people.
- 2:00:10We repent as a continent, We repent as a nation.
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: Can you pray?
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: Pray? It's time to deal with the spirit of envy?
- 2:00:29Please pray. You're speaking to yourself. You are the one
- 2:00:36that we pray.
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: You are the one weird.
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: Don't you give the heeling and raise.
- 2:00:48Speaker 3: That are had always hunger for?
- 2:00:54Speaker 6: Oh hut so always hung, wonderful, siful, safe, Keep praying, precious,
- 2:01:05redeem and tre.
