- 0:00Speaker 1: Gentlemen, in the goodness received.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord. Father, we want to
- 0:15Speaker 2: thank you this morning for your grace. We thank you
- 0:19Speaker 2: for the abundance of your grace and your mercy upon
- 0:23Speaker 2: our lives. For helping us, for loving us, for guiding us.
- 0:30Speaker 2: We want to thank you for this session. Lord, we
- 0:33Speaker 2: know already in advance that our lives will never be
- 0:37Speaker 2: the same. In the name of Jesus, we have come hungry.
- 0:42Speaker 2: We have come thirsty. We pray that you will fill us.
- 0:46Speaker 2: And I pray that out of us will flow this life,
- 0:50Speaker 2: even to the nations of the earth. We give you
- 0:52Speaker 2: all the praise. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
- 0:58Speaker 2: God bless you. Good morning. Please be seated. Please be seated.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Reverend Edwin, thank you again for this opportunity. And I
- 1:05Speaker 2: thank every man and every woman of God who is
- 1:09Speaker 2: here represented. I always count it a joy and an
- 1:14Speaker 2: honor to bring God's word to his people because when
- 1:20Speaker 2: you give a man any material gift at all, in
- 1:24Speaker 2: my understanding, you merely supported the person to make life
- 1:29Speaker 2: easier for the moment. But when you bring enlightenment to
- 1:34Speaker 2: an individual, you have supported that person to excel for life. Hallelujah.
- 1:40Speaker 2: So if an individual comes who is, say, hungry, and
- 1:43Speaker 2: you give him a thousand naira, ten thousand, a million,
- 1:46Speaker 2: doesn't matter how much, you have only succored the moment
- 1:50Speaker 2: for now. But when you are able to teach the
- 1:53Speaker 2: person the principles that make for an excelling life, Even
- 1:57Speaker 2: if you did not give that person any material gift,
- 2:00Speaker 2: you have blessed that person sustainably. Abraham had Isaac, his son,
- 2:07Speaker 2: and Abraham had other sons that came, you know, Hagar
- 2:12Speaker 2: and then other concubines. And there were in total about
- 2:17Speaker 2: six to eight children Abraham had. The Bible says Abraham
- 2:22Speaker 2: called the remaining children and gave them gifts. He distributed
- 2:26Speaker 2: gifts unto them But to Isaac, he gave him everything
- 2:30Speaker 2: that he had. There was no mention of giving Isaac
- 2:34Speaker 2: any material gift. And there was no mention of conferring
- 2:39Speaker 2: the blessing on any of the other children. Hallelujah. He
- 2:43Speaker 2: gave them gifts and they went. Trouble is to have
- 2:47Speaker 2: knowledge without understanding.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Are we together? I remember when 3310, that tiny phone.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Nokia. Nokia.
- 2:53Speaker 3: 3310. You still remember it?
- 2:58Speaker 2: Do you know the potential to have phones like this
- 3:01Speaker 2: that literally can put you at a global space was
- 3:04Speaker 2: always there. So when your destiny becomes, it's not like
- 3:09Speaker 2: new laws were created.
- 3:11Speaker 3: You just found a way of making it work for you.
- 3:15Speaker 2: That it is not working for you does not mean
- 3:18Speaker 2: it is not working. It is just not working for
- 3:21Speaker 2: you yet. And I'm praying for you prophetically. Whatever you
- 3:26Speaker 2: have not known how to combine in the spirit. To
- 3:29Speaker 2: produce an enviable destiny of greatness. May God himself show
- 3:34Speaker 2: you how to make it work. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Let me have one gentleman from the worship team.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Please come.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Do you play any instrument? Do you play any instrument?
- 3:54Speaker 2: Nothing at all. Is this keyboard on? Put it on
- 3:59Speaker 2: for me. Go and sit down and play something. Anything
- 4:02Speaker 2: at all. Watch this now. Watch this. This keyboard was
- 4:07Speaker 2: designed to afford you an opportunity to enjoy music and
- 4:13Speaker 2: enjoy the melody. Do you agree with me? The manufacturer
- 4:17Speaker 2: produced this with intention. Now here is a very handsome man.
- 4:22Speaker 2: wonderful gentleman, sitting in front of something that can make
- 4:26Speaker 2: all of us worship God. Sitting in front of something
- 4:30Speaker 2: that can prosper him. Right? Go ahead. Play anything at all.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Is that the best? You can do better. Go ahead.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Now watch this.
- 4:44Speaker 2: While you are laughing, I'm introducing my session. You would
- 4:48Speaker 2: think his looks, his smile, His sincerity of heart. His
- 4:54Speaker 2: decent dressing. Would make the keyboard answer to him differently.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Now this gentleman is seated here. Very lovely person. But
- 5:07Speaker 2: with respect to results from keyboard. Look at this.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Now if.
- 5:13Speaker 2: You are to judge this person's destiny. You may be
- 5:17Speaker 2: angry at the keyboard. He may be angry at the
- 5:20Speaker 2: keyboard himself. Why are you not sounding like this man's keyboard?
- 5:24Speaker 2: Play yours. Same keyboard. Same hands. Five fingers.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Ten.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Listen, listen, listen, listen. Same eyes. Same church.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Same city. Same power. Power in both keyboards. The outcome
- 5:45Speaker 2: is different. Why are you listening to this man? Willing
- 5:48Speaker 2: to pay. Why are you listening to this man? If
- 5:53Speaker 2: you are to invite two of them for your son's ceremony,
- 5:57Speaker 2: who is going to come? Why? No. Results.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Results.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Results. This keyboard you see is based on a law.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Once upon a time, you could not play it too.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Are we together now? Once upon a time, this man
- 6:20Speaker 2: could not play it. Now, I wish we had time.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I would have flipped all of them. Now that we
- 6:26Speaker 2: are done with keyboard, I would have given them a mic.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Do you sing? You sing now.
- 6:30Speaker 2: You see him smiling already because he knows that at
- 6:33Speaker 2: least it's not that bad.
- 6:34Speaker 3: There is something that.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I can do. Now, if I give me a mic.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I'm not wasting your time. Is there any? There's no mic, huh?
- 6:50Speaker 2: If you don't understand what I'm teaching you now, then
- 6:54Speaker 2: it's demonic. Okay. Come, my friend. At least you sing. So,
- 7:03Speaker 2: he's playing for you. Now, you sing something. Anything at all.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Even if it's a song. You are the one that
- 7:14Speaker 2: we praise. Praise.
- 7:18Speaker 5: You are the one we adore. You give the healing
- 7:26Speaker 5: and grace. Our hearts always hunger for.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Oh, our hearts always hunger for.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Has he suddenly become your friend?
- 7:45Speaker 2: This was a man that five minutes ago you ignored
- 7:48Speaker 2: him because he could not play keyboard. Now you discover
- 7:51Speaker 2: that he was not all bad. What if in addition
- 7:56Speaker 2: to this singing, he can play keyboard? Think of what
- 8:01Speaker 2: kind of a man he will be. Look at how
- 8:06Speaker 2: he came out of shame and reproach within a minute
- 8:08Speaker 2: by showing you that there are a few laws I know.
- 8:13Speaker 2: My score is not zero. There are a few things
- 8:15Speaker 2: I have found. My assignment for you tonight is not
- 8:19Speaker 2: to celebrate the one you have found. It's to show
- 8:22Speaker 2: you what else you can add to your life.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Are we together now?
- 8:31Speaker 2: So don't sit down in arrogance saying at least I
- 8:34Speaker 2: know some things. I needed to dramatize this for you
- 8:37Speaker 2: to see. This gentleman, imagine if he could sing. And
- 8:43Speaker 2: then imagine if he could play keyboard. Then imagine if
- 8:47Speaker 2: he could dance on top. Now imagine what sort of
- 8:51Speaker 2: a human being this would be. God wants to bring
- 8:54Speaker 2: you completion. Because there are many of you, the reason
- 8:59Speaker 2: why the nations cannot place a demand upon you is
- 9:02Speaker 2: that what they need, you have not understood the laws
- 9:06Speaker 2: that make it work in your life. If we need
- 9:12Speaker 2: singing Then this guy is invited into our space. But
- 9:16Speaker 2: if the only thing we need is instrumentals, as gifted
- 9:19Speaker 2: as he is, he will remain outside. And you tell him, Mr. Man,
- 9:25Speaker 2: I heard you sing yesterday. Why are you not here?
- 9:27Speaker 2: And he says, they do not need singing. What they
- 9:30Speaker 2: need is whoever can play. Is someone learning now? So
- 9:36Speaker 2: the Bible says a woman had 10.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Why did God.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Give her 10? Ten of the same thing. I thought
- 9:46Speaker 2: one would have been enough. And then she lost one.
- 9:50Speaker 2: The part of this story that touches my heart is
- 9:53Speaker 2: the fact that because one was missing, she acted as
- 9:56Speaker 2: if the nine were irrelevant. If I was the one
- 9:59Speaker 2: who after losing one, I would say it's okay. Nine
- 10:02Speaker 2: over ten is still fair. The woman said, no way.
- 10:05Speaker 2: I know what lacking that one can do in my life.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Lacking that one can cause depletion. If I do not
- 10:13Speaker 2: have that one, it can make the other ones to
- 10:15Speaker 2: also leave. And she said, I will not spare. It
- 10:18Speaker 2: must be 10 over 10. And she lit a lamp.
- 10:22Speaker 2: If you saw her searching around, you would think she
- 10:24Speaker 2: was a poor woman. She was not poor.
- 10:26Speaker 3: She was a woman who was crying for completion.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Are we together? God bless you. Let's celebrate our wonderful... Now,
- 10:42Speaker 2: The journey to success, the journey to victory, the journey
- 10:47Speaker 2: to greatness is a combination there. There are three major
- 10:53Speaker 2: junctions on your journey to success, greatness, and excelling in
- 11:01Speaker 2: life and destiny generally. Number one, the first key And
- 11:10Speaker 2: it represents the first junction you have to cross. Is wisdom. Light. Wisdom.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Number two. Faith. Number three. Power. You will never become
- 11:29Speaker 2: great in life and destiny. If you do not encounter
- 11:33Speaker 2: these three junctions. And cross them effectively. Wisdom. As a bridge.
- 11:40Speaker 3: That connects you from one dimension to the other.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Faith. As a bridge. That connects you from one dimension
- 11:47Speaker 2: to the other. Power. As a bridge. That connects you
- 11:51Speaker 2: from one dimension to the other. I have studied success
- 11:55Speaker 2: a bit. I've had the honor of listening to people
- 11:57Speaker 2: who have distinguished their lives. And I have found out
- 12:01Speaker 2: that if you distill success. It boils down to these
- 12:04Speaker 2: three keys. Wisdom. Faith. And power. Power.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Wisdom, faith, and power.
- 12:14Speaker 2: If your life is not working, I'm saving you the
- 12:17Speaker 2: headache of random searching so that you don't troubleshoot indefinitely
- 12:22Speaker 2: and not find answers. It is always something wrong with
- 12:26Speaker 2: the bankruptcy of light.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Or how to apply that light.
- 12:31Speaker 2: The bankruptcy of obedience, not knowing how to engage until
- 12:35Speaker 2: it produces, or the absence of spiritual backing, power, in
- 12:41Speaker 2: all its ramifications. If you find wisdom, you are taught
- 12:46Speaker 2: how to use your faith to work, and you encounter
- 12:49Speaker 2: the power of the Holy Spirit, you have mastered the
- 12:52Speaker 2: keys to dominion in this cosmos. Are we learning now?
- 12:57Speaker 3: This is very, very important.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Behind a life of poverty, behind a life of pain,
- 13:05Speaker 2: behind a life of stagnation in life in ministry are
- 13:09Speaker 2: a deficiency of these factors. Anything that is not working
- 13:15Speaker 2: in your life, I'm telling you, wisdom. Look at the
- 13:18Speaker 2: example I gave about this our friend. What was the problem?
- 13:22Speaker 2: The wisdom, the light, the know-how to know how the
- 13:26Speaker 2: keyboard operates, how to play skillfully. His hands were there,
- 13:31Speaker 2: the keyboard was on, but he lacked wisdom. Now for
- 13:35Speaker 2: this one, he does not lack wisdom. But if he
- 13:38Speaker 2: does not stand up and sit on the keyboard and
- 13:41Speaker 2: actually play, even though he has the ability to play,
- 13:45Speaker 2: knowing how to play, he will still not produce a result.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Are we together? But there are times he can know
- 13:50Speaker 2: how to play. Are we together now? And he has
- 13:54Speaker 2: the skill, he's taking the step, but the problem is
- 13:57Speaker 2: that there is no light connected to the keyboard. He
- 14:00Speaker 2: will still not play. So if we are diagnosing why
- 14:04Speaker 2: this sound is not coming out for us to hear,
- 14:06Speaker 2: we will have to diagnose the person, his understanding, or
- 14:11Speaker 2: his willingness to take action, or there might be an
- 14:14Speaker 2: electrical problem with.
- 14:16Speaker 3: The equipment itself.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Are we together? Let me tell you the truth. This
- 14:23Speaker 2: whole business success is not a mystery. From a spiritual standpoint,
- 14:29Speaker 2: from a ministerial standpoint, from a business standpoint, it's just
- 14:33Speaker 2: that for most of us, in being trained to be successful,
- 14:37Speaker 2: with all due respect, most people are only given portions
- 14:42Speaker 2: of truth. Portions of truth. either in church or in
- 14:46Speaker 2: a business meeting, in some seminar. And so we have
- 14:50Speaker 2: portions of truth or we are given truth and we
- 14:54Speaker 2: are not shown how to engage it so that it
- 14:57Speaker 2: profits us. Most of the things that you know should
- 15:02Speaker 2: govern success, they are not necessarily, you already know them.
- 15:06Speaker 3: You are not in ignorance.
- 15:07Speaker 2: But for many of us, it's a faith problem. You
- 15:10Speaker 2: have not obtained grace to engage them consistently.
- 15:14Speaker 3: And then for many other people, it's a power problem.
- 15:17Speaker 2: The divine engracing that supplies the stamina to keep engaging until.
- 15:22Speaker 3: It works, you don't have it. The Bible says, if
- 15:25Speaker 3: you turn aside in a day of.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Battle your strength, Your strength, capacity to stay and continue
- 15:31Speaker 2: till you win is what is small. So I'm going
- 15:34Speaker 2: to be running with us a few things very briefly.
- 15:36Speaker 2: The morning sessions are usually a brief session. So we'll
- 15:42Speaker 2: touch on this and trust that God himself will open
- 15:46Speaker 2: us and cause us to prosper in Jesus name. Everybody
- 15:51Speaker 2: shout this after me. Say it as loud as you can.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Say my results. Bring glory to God. My results always
- 16:02Speaker 2: bring glory to God. This is the first thing I
- 16:07Speaker 2: want you to know. That your results go beyond making
- 16:11Speaker 2: you great. Your results go beyond making you successful. Your
- 16:16Speaker 2: results go beyond making you a To be perceived as
- 16:21Speaker 2: someone who has made it in life.
- 16:24Speaker 3: If that is your.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Only scope and motivation for bearing fruit and producing results,
- 16:29Speaker 2: you will be exhausted. It is important to know that
- 16:32Speaker 2: your bearing fruit is ministry. Your producing result is ministry.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I always knew or desired success in my life by
- 16:42Speaker 2: any definition. But my passion for success multiplied. When I
- 16:47Speaker 2: got to find out that one of the major ways
- 16:50Speaker 2: that God is glorified on earth is when the saints
- 16:54Speaker 2: bear fruit.
- 16:56Speaker 3: One of the major ways.
- 16:57Speaker 2: That God is glorified on earth in Enugu in Nigeria
- 17:02Speaker 2: is when we bear much fruit. It changed my life.
- 17:05Speaker 2: A few scriptures that support this. John chapter 15 and
- 17:09Speaker 2: verse 8. The Bible says, Someone say much fruit. He says,
- 17:16Speaker 2: so shall you be my disciples. So the father is
- 17:19Speaker 2: glorified if and when we bear much fruit. Are we together?
- 17:24Speaker 2: The same John 15 verse 16 says, you have not
- 17:28Speaker 2: chosen me. But I have chosen you and ordained you
- 17:33Speaker 2: that you should go and bring forth fruit. Notice in
- 17:38Speaker 2: most of the parables that Jesus gave, when he came
- 17:41Speaker 2: and did not find fruitfulness, he was sad. Whether from
- 17:45Speaker 2: the victory or from the people he gave talents to.
- 17:48Speaker 2: He gave one five, he gave one two, he gave
- 17:51Speaker 2: the other one. allowed some time, returned back and said, okay,
- 17:56Speaker 2: give me an account of what has happened. The guy
- 17:58Speaker 2: with five said, I multiplied it. I now have 10.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Well done, thou good and faithful servant. The one with two,
- 18:04Speaker 2: I made four. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
- 18:06Speaker 2: The guy with one, even though he had the same
- 18:09Speaker 2: one and he said, take your thing.
- 18:11Speaker 3: At least I didn't lose. Take your capital back.
- 18:14Speaker 2: He rebuked him. He called him a wicked and unprofitable servant.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Jesus came to the fig tree and the Bible says
- 18:24Speaker 2: it was not even the time of figs. And yet
- 18:27Speaker 2: because it was green, taken from the earth and would
- 18:31Speaker 2: not bear figs. The Bible says Jesus caused the tree
- 18:35Speaker 2: and said no man will eat of you again. 24
- 18:37Speaker 2: hours later the tree was withered and he did not
- 18:40Speaker 2: apologize for it. It seems to me that every time
- 18:44Speaker 2: God sees fruitlessness. It does something to him as revealed
- 18:50Speaker 2: in scripture. He's not happy whether in a life, whether
- 18:54Speaker 2: in a church. So he's made every investment available for
- 18:58Speaker 2: the believer to ensure and insist that we are fruitful.
- 19:02Speaker 2: And I'm telling you that one of the major sponsors,
- 19:06Speaker 2: Motivations for Contending for Fruitfulness. Is that I desire to
- 19:11Speaker 2: see God glorified. In and through my life. And because
- 19:15Speaker 2: I want to see him glorified. I will contend to
- 19:18Speaker 2: bear fruit. Someone say I will bear fruit. Say it again.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Say I will bear fruit. Fruit in ministry.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Fruit of greatness.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Fruit of glory. Yesterday when we came for the conference.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I was so touched and humbled. I saw several people.
- 19:33Speaker 2: The overflows. I can imagine the workers in the church. Happy,
- 19:37Speaker 2: you know, that all your efforts and everything has been
- 19:40Speaker 2: rewarded with great results. I do not know anybody who
- 19:46Speaker 2: does not find results consoling. Results are a great consolation.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Are we together.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Imagine that you came yesterday night and as soon as
- 19:56Speaker 2: you got in here was only the workers that were
- 19:58Speaker 2: here after all of the publicity you will still hold
- 20:02Speaker 2: service but something within your heart to cry and say
- 20:04Speaker 2: there's more than this am i right on that As
- 20:08Speaker 2: a pastor, when you are experiencing increase numerically in grace,
- 20:14Speaker 2: in your understanding, in impact, I am telling you it
- 20:18Speaker 2: is therapeutic. There is healing that comes when you make progress.
- 20:22Speaker 2: As a mother, if you watch your children make progress,
- 20:25Speaker 2: that in one year, three of your sons done with school,
- 20:29Speaker 2: got jobs. Are we together now? As a couple, you
- 20:32Speaker 2: got married. Nine months later.
- 20:34Speaker 3: No delay.
- 20:35Speaker 2: And a child has come, preferably twins or triplets. Am
- 20:38Speaker 2: I prophesying to somebody? Are we together now? Humans rejoice,
- 20:45Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, when they make strategic progress in their lives.
- 20:50Speaker 3: How about business people?
- 20:51Speaker 2: That from January up until now, all that you've been
- 20:55Speaker 2: experiencing is one month getting better.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Than the previous month. It is impossible to live.
- 21:01Speaker 2: In an atmosphere of ever-increasing fruitfulness.
- 21:05Speaker 3: And then be sad, be gloomy.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Discouragement is usually a product of fruitlessness for a long time.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And I'm praying for you.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Anything stopping you from being fruitful, going forward in your life.
- 21:18Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, I curse it right now.
- 21:23Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, I curse it right now.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Why do you run to church and insist on testifying?
- 21:32Speaker 3: Praise the Lord.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I've been a graduate for five years, no job. And
- 21:36Speaker 2: now I suddenly got a job with an international organization.
- 21:40Speaker 2: And for starters, my salary is $ 5, 000 per month.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Are we together? How is that our business? You are
- 21:54Speaker 3: celebrating because.
- 21:56Speaker 2: It gives you a picture that you are making progress,
- 21:59Speaker 2: that the word of God is working for you. If
- 22:02Speaker 2: you go and tell your mother, I just got that job,
- 22:04Speaker 2: she would dance and celebrate. Let me tell you the truth.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Whatever it is that robs you of producing results is
- 22:11Speaker 2: an attack from hell. Are we together now? Results don't
- 22:15Speaker 2: happen instantly, but eventually they should happen. And when they
- 22:19Speaker 2: do start happening, They should be in an ever increasing dimension.
- 22:24Speaker 2: It is a painful thing to once hold on to greatness.
- 22:27Speaker 2: And then retreat back into your yesterday. Every power making
- 22:31Speaker 2: your yesterday to be better than your tomorrow. In the
- 22:34Speaker 2: name of Jesus here at this conference. We silence those
- 22:38Speaker 2: forces forever. Hallelujah. So the first motivation. The difference between
- 22:46Speaker 2: a carnal pursuit. And a kingdom pursuit of success is
- 22:51Speaker 2: the motivation and the goal. The difference between a carnal pursuit,
- 22:57Speaker 2: I just want to make it. I just want to blow.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I just want things to happen for me. The difference
- 23:03Speaker 2: between such a person and a kingdom person desiring success
- 23:09Speaker 2: is the motivation. That your motivation is beyond just having
- 23:14Speaker 2: money or just having a crowd. Are we together? Or
- 23:18Speaker 2: just having things work for you just for the sake
- 23:21Speaker 2: of it. Everything in the kingdom must be for God's glory.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Your beauty, God's glory. Your education, God's glory. Your resources,
- 23:32Speaker 2: God's glory. Greater grace, greater power.
- 23:35Speaker 3: God's glory.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Listen, if you miss this law, you have corrupted your pursuit.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Anything you do about success will only end up killing you.
- 23:46Speaker 2: What makes the believer's success useful is this kingdom mentality.
- 23:50Speaker 2: That the reason why I'm contending for this... All of
- 23:54Speaker 2: us are going for work in the morning. But make
- 23:56Speaker 2: no mistakes. You and your colleagues are not the same.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Their motivation is to make ends meet. Your motivation is
- 24:03Speaker 2: that through your life, are we together? Through the excellency
- 24:07Speaker 2: of your results, somebody will see that God is a
- 24:11Speaker 2: good God. Through the excellency of your results, you will
- 24:14Speaker 2: demonstrate the fatherhood of God. That means your life is
- 24:17Speaker 2: like a canvas. And the Lord himself desires to paint
- 24:22Speaker 2: a picture upon your life. That when men look at
- 24:25Speaker 2: your life, you become a living epistle. They can learn
- 24:29Speaker 2: God as they study your results. I can tell you,
- 24:32Speaker 2: you've heard me say this, results are evangelists. There is
- 24:36Speaker 2: a sermon only results can preach. Only results can preach.
- 24:40Speaker 2: And there is an audience designed to listen to that
- 24:44Speaker 2: kind of sermon. If your life is void of results,
- 24:48Speaker 2: there is a dimension of impact you cannot have, you
- 24:52Speaker 2: cannot make. Are we together?
- 24:56Speaker 3: Why does God.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Insist that we excel in ministry? Why does God insist
- 25:01Speaker 2: that we excel in destiny? Just because we're afraid of failure?
- 25:06Speaker 2: Or just because we're afraid of Satan? Or just because
- 25:09Speaker 2: we're afraid of a low life? No.
- 25:11Speaker 3: God's intent and interest is by far more than that.
- 25:15Speaker 2: He seeks to be revealed. He seeks to be glorified
- 25:18Speaker 2: through the saints. Therefore, the baguette is this. The foundation
- 25:24Speaker 2: for a successful life is having this orientation that my
- 25:29Speaker 2: success must be a tool that reveals Jesus. My success
- 25:34Speaker 2: must be a tool that glorifies Jesus.
- 25:38Speaker 3: My success must be a tool, not an idol.
- 25:41Speaker 2: The only way to not worship things is to convert
- 25:45Speaker 2: them into tools that reveal Jesus. If you can make
- 25:50Speaker 2: your money worship Jesus, it cannot be an idol to you.
- 25:54Speaker 2: If you can make your beauty worship Jesus, it cannot
- 25:57Speaker 2: be an idol to you. If you can make the
- 25:59Speaker 2: exploits in ministry worship Jesus, the only way to stop
- 26:04Speaker 2: anything from being God to you is to force it
- 26:07Speaker 2: to join you in worship as you honor the king.
- 26:11Speaker 2: My life changed when I had this orientation. Let me
- 26:15Speaker 2: tell you the truth. There is no pursuit in my
- 26:18Speaker 2: life that does not have purpose tied to it. If
- 26:22Speaker 2: I pray right now, I say, God, give me 10
- 26:25Speaker 2: million souls. I have a reason for it. It's not
- 26:29Speaker 2: just to show that I'm some great preacher. That is
- 26:33Speaker 2: the least of my concern. If I ask God to
- 26:36Speaker 2: keep bread and tea upon my table, it is so
- 26:39Speaker 2: that I can access the health that strengthens me to
- 26:43Speaker 2: be able to serve his program.
- 26:45Speaker 3: I tell you why many people.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Fail in life. Disorientation they do not have. That in
- 26:51Speaker 2: my results, God is glorified. And that if God continually
- 26:55Speaker 2: gets glory in my life, he will keep lifting me
- 26:58Speaker 2: so that the glory will keep returning to him.
- 27:01Speaker 3: It's a simple but powerful principle.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Powerful principle. Many of us seek fame. Many of
- 27:13Speaker 2: us seek greatness. Many of us seek glory. Many of
- 27:17Speaker 2: us seek an excelling life. But like in continuation of
- 27:20Speaker 2: what we said yesterday, until that purging happens, I don't
- 27:24Speaker 2: know how I can drum this to you. The reason
- 27:27Speaker 2: why many people fail is because they do not understand
- 27:32Speaker 2: that their success should be used as tools to glorify
- 27:36Speaker 2: the Lord. If you tell me you made one billion,
- 27:42Speaker 2: you told me nonsense. Until I hear what the one
- 27:45Speaker 2: billion is for, that is where my respect comes for you. Apostle,
- 27:49Speaker 2: by the grace of God, I made one billion. Congratulations.
- 27:52Speaker 2: I'm still listening. Out of this one billion, God has
- 27:56Speaker 2: been able to help me to sort my life and
- 27:59Speaker 2: the kingdom is going to benefit. Now you are speaking
- 28:01Speaker 2: God's language and you are speaking the language of anyone
- 28:04Speaker 2: who is a lover of God. Are we together now? Apostle,
- 28:09Speaker 2: I found the keys to health and I made up
- 28:11Speaker 2: my mind that I'm going to start working in health. Congratulations.
- 28:15Speaker 2: But why do you want to live long? Why do
- 28:17Speaker 2: you want to be healthy? Because I found out that
- 28:19Speaker 2: God is looking for vessels in any group. And I
- 28:23Speaker 2: have made up my mind that I will live long
- 28:25Speaker 2: enough for God to allow this body to be a tool.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Now there is justification for your being healthy. Are we
- 28:31Speaker 2: together now? Now, the reason why many things destroy people
- 28:35Speaker 2: in church is that people are given keys without purpose.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Keys to wealth, keys to the anointing, but there's no
- 28:43Speaker 2: purpose attached to it. And I'm showing you now that
- 28:46Speaker 2: part of the wisdom that connects you to a great
- 28:49Speaker 2: destiny is not just knowing the loss alone. Understanding the
- 28:54Speaker 2: motivation behind your hunger for results. If you see me
- 28:59Speaker 2: pray and fast, asking God for his power and glory.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I tell you, it's not from a competitive standpoint. Lord,
- 29:06Speaker 2: give me this. Make this happen in my life. No,
- 29:09Speaker 2: there has to be a reason. Why do I want
- 29:12Speaker 2: a greater dimension of the anointing upon my life? The
- 29:15Speaker 2: reason is because I have seen that the needs of
- 29:18Speaker 2: people are increasing. That there are greater needs. And we
- 29:22Speaker 2: are seeing Father fresh oil. So that we are able
- 29:25Speaker 2: to minister to the needs of those people.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Thereby reflecting your love.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Why am I trusting God for increase in every aspect
- 29:33Speaker 2: of my life?
- 29:34Speaker 3: If it is just for myself, I'm okay. But for
- 29:38Speaker 3: the kingdom?
- 29:43Speaker 2: There needs to be a transition from being carnally minded
- 29:48Speaker 2: when you pursue success from a carnal standpoint you are
- 29:51Speaker 2: only pursuing poison you are pursuing what will eventually kill
- 29:55Speaker 2: you are we together yes If this is all that
- 29:59Speaker 2: I teach you this morning, it has been great for
- 30:01Speaker 2: your profiting. Because for many of us, we learn laws
- 30:06Speaker 2: and principles, but the first kind of knowledge through wisdom
- 30:11Speaker 2: is to understand and realign your motivation correctly.
- 30:16Speaker 3: My life changed when I reordered my motivation.
- 30:20Speaker 2: If you ever see me pray for anything at all
- 30:24Speaker 2: in my life, Then I can assure you. If you
- 30:27Speaker 2: ask me. I can tell you how God will be
- 30:29Speaker 2: glorified through it. For your glory. I will do anything.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Just to see you.
- 30:47Speaker 5: To behold you as my King.
- 30:52Speaker 2: For your glory.
- 30:57Speaker 4: I will do anything just to see you.
- 31:07Speaker 2: To behold you as my King. I want to be
- 31:13Speaker 2: where you are. Is someone receiving something this morning? So,
- 31:20Speaker 2: you want to live an excelling life? You need to
- 31:23Speaker 2: go back to the drawing board And reorder your motivation.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Why am I praying? Why am I fasting? Why am
- 31:38Speaker 2: I coming to church? Why do I desire increase? Why
- 31:43Speaker 2: am I taking more courses? Post graduate courses? What exactly
- 31:47Speaker 2: am I looking for? Once your motive is correct. To
- 31:52Speaker 2: see him glorify through my life.
- 31:54Speaker 3: You have found a key.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Do you have that down now? The second thing is
- 31:58Speaker 2: that you need to press to know God. I'm showing
- 32:02Speaker 2: you keys. I told you that it's a journey of wisdom, faith,
- 32:06Speaker 2: and power. We're dealing with wisdom. These are the bodies
- 32:09Speaker 2: of truth that makes a man wise. One is to
- 32:12Speaker 2: understand the motive, the question why in life and destiny.
- 32:17Speaker 2: And the question why is not, if you have many whys,
- 32:20Speaker 2: you are not a believer.
- 32:21Speaker 3: A believer has only one why. That God will be glorified.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Through my results through my activities then number two you
- 32:30Speaker 2: must know God you must know God John chapter 17
- 32:34Speaker 2: and verse 3 this is life eternal that they may
- 32:38Speaker 2: know thee the only true God and Jesus whom thou
- 32:41Speaker 2: hast sent please look at me you will never truly
- 32:44Speaker 2: excel in life in fact you cannot truly walk in
- 32:49Speaker 2: faith if you do not know God I hope you
- 32:51Speaker 2: know that God is beyond a principle There is a
- 32:55Speaker 2: dimension of exploits in life that is not principle dependent.
- 33:00Speaker 2: It is presence dependent. Principles are powerful but principles are
- 33:06Speaker 2: inferior to spirits. Inferior to presence. A spirit can't stop
- 33:13Speaker 2: a principle from working.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 33:17Speaker 2: So the principle should work. For instance, there is a
- 33:21Speaker 2: principle of reproduction. Are we together? And it should work biologically.
- 33:26Speaker 2: But when a spirit is introduced into that equation, it
- 33:30Speaker 2: can tamper with that principle.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Diligence is a principle. Are we together?
- 33:35Speaker 2: When you are tired, the principle is that you rest
- 33:39Speaker 2: and your body experiences revitalization. But the spirit can be
- 33:43Speaker 2: introduced to your space that can stop principles from working.
- 33:47Speaker 2: If you exalt principles beyond presence, you are in trouble.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Principles are powerful, but the presence of God vetoes any principle.
- 33:56Speaker 2: It is true.
- 33:57Speaker 3: I'm a man of principles, but I've known the.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Value of his presence. Most people ignore God and they
- 34:03Speaker 2: start learning laws and principles.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Principle of this.
- 34:07Speaker 2: In getting spiritual knowledge, the first part of call is
- 34:10Speaker 2: to know God. Then know his ways. Know God, the person,
- 34:15Speaker 2: the presence. Then the principles.
- 34:20Speaker 3: This is a correction for someone now.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Because you are full of a lot of principles but
- 34:25Speaker 2: no experience with God. Is the reason why it's not working.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Principles are powerful. And there is a dimension of principles
- 34:34Speaker 2: that in fact, principles generally don't need relationship.
- 34:38Speaker 3: They just need obedience.
- 34:40Speaker 2: That is the reason why you can hate God and
- 34:42Speaker 2: engage on principles and they work.
- 34:44Speaker 3: But they only work if no spirit tampers with it.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Most times, we make it look as if principles work indefinitely.
- 34:52Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who is not true.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Spirits are enhancers and enforcers of principles. Master, we have
- 35:04Speaker 2: toiled all night. It's not a laziness problem. It's not
- 35:07Speaker 2: a diligence problem. Something must have happened there. He said,
- 35:12Speaker 2: at this point, you don't need a principle again. Let
- 35:14Speaker 2: me show you what my presence can do. Cast the
- 35:16Speaker 2: net to the right side. Bring me his presence and
- 35:22Speaker 2: bring me the loss of life. I will run away
- 35:25Speaker 2: from the loss and embrace his presence. Let me see
- 35:27Speaker 2: what door will not open when I'm walking with Jesus.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Let me see who will not attend to me when
- 35:33Speaker 2: I find his presence. Moses did not say if your
- 35:35Speaker 2: principle does not go with us. He said if your presence,
- 35:42Speaker 2: if your presence does not go with us. You want
- 35:47Speaker 2: to be great? Respect principles. But honor God. Honor God.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Press to know God.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Press to spend time in his presence. You see, principles
- 36:00Speaker 2: does not stop challenges from coming. When challenges come, your
- 36:04Speaker 2: confidence is not just drawn from principles. It's drawn from
- 36:08Speaker 2: the one you know. But I know whom I have believed.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Not just what I believe. And I am persuaded. Are
- 36:15Speaker 2: we together now? I've met many challenges in my life
- 36:19Speaker 2: as a person. And my confidence was not in the
- 36:23Speaker 2: principles that I know. My confidence was in that presence.
- 36:28Speaker 2: For instance, if somebody tells you, I had a dream.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And I saw you dying in that dream. There's no
- 36:34Speaker 2: principle that will bring you out of it. Because at
- 36:37Speaker 2: that point, you need the presence of God. The name
- 36:41Speaker 2: of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run
- 36:45Speaker 2: into it and they are saved. Am I ignoring principles?
- 36:48Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 36:49Speaker 3: They have their place. But I'm telling you.
- 36:51Speaker 2: That this principle mentality alone will cause people to do
- 36:55Speaker 2: the right things and still fail. And it will frustrate
- 36:59Speaker 2: you because you are doing everything that should work.
- 37:02Speaker 3: And yes, it is not working. Who is learning this morning?
- 37:07Speaker 2: So once your motif is aligned, the next thing is
- 37:10Speaker 2: you must take time to know God. And I submit
- 37:13Speaker 2: to you that knowing God takes time out. Knowing God
- 37:18Speaker 2: takes time. You have to learn his character. To learn
- 37:22Speaker 2: his character. So that when you stand before closed doors,
- 37:26Speaker 2: rather than chickening out in fear, you know that the
- 37:29Speaker 2: God that I serve is a mighty God.
- 37:32Speaker 3: There is something about God that when you know.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Are we together? I give you an instance. When your
- 37:39Speaker 2: pastor told you that we were coming for this conference,
- 37:43Speaker 2: how many of you doubted whether I would come? How
- 37:49Speaker 2: many of you said, I'm not sure Apostle will come.
- 37:51Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Reverend is just lying to us. Because
- 37:56Speaker 2: there's something you know about him. You know that he
- 37:59Speaker 2: has the capacity to make it happen. He has the
- 38:02Speaker 2: relationship to make it happen. And he has the integrity
- 38:05Speaker 2: to make it happen. Your confidence of leaving your home
- 38:09Speaker 2: to come for this conference was based on that. So
- 38:12Speaker 2: many times disobedience to God is hinged from your not
- 38:18Speaker 2: knowing him or your not trusting him. You are really
- 38:21Speaker 2: not sure.
- 38:22Speaker 3: God is that dependable.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Are we together? If I tell you I have $ 100
- 38:31Speaker 2: in my pocket, can you see it?
- 38:34Speaker 3: How are you sure I'm not lying?
- 38:35Speaker 2: Are we together? Are we together?
- 38:42Speaker 3: How are you sure? Maybe I'm lying and I'll just
- 38:44Speaker 3: apologize and say I'm lying.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Are we together? I don't know how I would have
- 38:57Speaker 2: been able to do ministry today if I did not
- 38:59Speaker 2: take time to know God. I've not known everything about him.
- 39:02Speaker 2: We are still learning. But today God can give us
- 39:05Speaker 2: instructions to do some of the things we are doing.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Let me tell you the truth. And this is a
- 39:11Speaker 2: leaders conference I will tell you. Talking about the finance
- 39:14Speaker 2: that is spent over some of the conferences that we
- 39:17Speaker 2: hold is even the least concern.
- 39:19Speaker 3: The finance is a serious thing, but it's the least concern.
- 39:23Speaker 2: You can have money, but it takes grace to convert
- 39:26Speaker 2: nations together. Are we together? This is not a money thing.
- 39:30Speaker 2: It is a true test of grace. Hallelujah. But where
- 39:39Speaker 2: does that confidence come from? The confidence comes from knowing God.
- 39:44Speaker 2: When I sent you, lackest thou anything? Where do you
- 39:48Speaker 2: find the walkers? Where do you find the people? Where
- 39:51Speaker 2: do you find the place with all of the sentiments?
- 39:57Speaker 2: Is someone learning? If you do not know God, you
- 40:00Speaker 2: will run out of life. You will chicken out. But
- 40:05Speaker 2: when you know God, there are things you will dare.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Faith is a natural byproduct of taking time to invest
- 40:13Speaker 2: in the knowledge of God. You know his person first.
- 40:17Speaker 2: then his principles will profit you. But when you don't
- 40:20Speaker 2: take time to know God and you know principles, they
- 40:23Speaker 2: will work, but they are at the risk of any
- 40:26Speaker 2: interruptions that come from spirits. And spirits will come because
- 40:30Speaker 2: they know that you are about God's business. They will
- 40:33Speaker 2: come and tamper with many things so that when one
- 40:36Speaker 2: plus one should be two, your own equation will be
- 40:39Speaker 2: one plus one equals zero.
- 40:41Speaker 3: You will now do ten plus ten, the answer.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Will still be zero. 100 plus 100 will still be zero.
- 40:47Speaker 2: And you say, but this is wrong. Unfortunately, in the
- 40:50Speaker 2: realm of the spirit, it does not work mathematically. It
- 40:53Speaker 2: works as allowed by spirits. The same way God can
- 40:57Speaker 2: step in and one plus one should be two.
- 41:00Speaker 3: But God decides to add zero.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Who will clean it? So one plus one and your
- 41:06Speaker 2: one plus one equals 20. And you say, no, no,
- 41:10Speaker 2: this is not correct. But that's because of the presence
- 41:12Speaker 2: of God. When the principles want to say no, God
- 41:15Speaker 2: says my presence is an addition, is a factor. I
- 41:20Speaker 2: hope you're understanding what I'm teaching you. There is a
- 41:22Speaker 2: reason why you see that although we engage these principles,
- 41:26Speaker 2: you clearly see that the results are beyond principles.
- 41:31Speaker 3: Beyond principles.
- 41:32Speaker 2: If I tell you that every result today that God
- 41:35Speaker 2: is writing through our lives is purely based on principles,
- 41:38Speaker 2: you will be stupid and foolish to say that. Are
- 41:42Speaker 2: we together? Yeah. presence there are things you and God
- 41:47Speaker 2: can discuss in the secret place and God can say
- 41:50Speaker 2: I want to honor you in a way and you
- 41:52Speaker 2: too you will see it and you cannot remember engaging
- 41:55Speaker 2: any principle that should produce that kind of result is
- 41:58Speaker 2: the reason why there is no pride you humble yourself
- 42:01Speaker 2: again and say God you have surprised me oh you
- 42:04Speaker 2: have surprised me again who is learning hallelujah principle I
- 42:13Speaker 2: remember when God gave me an instruction last year when
- 42:15Speaker 2: we were holding our first conference. And God gave me
- 42:19Speaker 2: that instruction. How do you go and hold a conference
- 42:23Speaker 2: on a.
- 42:23Speaker 3: Weekday in Europe? A weekday, not a holiday.
- 42:27Speaker 2: A weekday.
- 42:29Speaker 3: And then you are gathering people.
- 42:31Speaker 2: You are using the largest indoor sports theater in the
- 42:35Speaker 2: whole of UK.
- 42:37Speaker 3: Can you imagine that?
- 42:38Speaker 2: A weekday.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Who do you think you are?
- 42:41Speaker 2: Just because you are anointed in your community, you don't
- 42:43Speaker 2: want to go and embarrass yourself in front of the
- 42:45Speaker 2: whole world. But God said so. And because you know him,
- 42:52Speaker 2: you can get up like a fool until you win.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Are we together? And then to make matters worse, God
- 43:00Speaker 2: gave me an instruction and said there is a narrative
- 43:04Speaker 2: that the church has sold to the European space. I
- 43:06Speaker 2: want to use it to correct it. And because of that,
- 43:09Speaker 2: no offering and no money will be raised. Nothing. There
- 43:12Speaker 2: should not be mention of any money. And you are
- 43:15Speaker 2: going to feed the entire workforce of over 2,000 plus people.
- 43:20Speaker 2: That was the instruction. If you don't know God, there
- 43:24Speaker 2: are some things you should not try. Because the shame
- 43:28Speaker 2: and the embarrassment that comes from your life will be
- 43:30Speaker 2: a memorial. They will use it in Bible school to
- 43:33Speaker 2: warn younger ministers. I hope you are learning the knowledge
- 43:40Speaker 2: of God.
- 43:42Speaker 3: And we took that step. And I remember when we.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Were wrapping up the conference, I just stood and I
- 43:49Speaker 2: looked and I said, my God, truly, when men know God,
- 43:53Speaker 2: they become signs and wonders. They really become signs and wonders.
- 43:59Speaker 2: I remember I returned back and I said, Lord, because
- 44:02Speaker 2: every time I return from an assignment, I give God
- 44:04Speaker 2: progress report. I go back on my knees and say, God,
- 44:07Speaker 2: Your boy is back. You gave me an assignment. I'm done.
- 44:12Speaker 3: And I remember the Lord speaking to me and said.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Because you honored me and you obeyed that instruction, you
- 44:17Speaker 2: will never look for resources again for any international conference.
- 44:22Speaker 2: It's true. It's true. You know what it means to
- 44:26Speaker 2: hold conference in Nigeria, back to back, US, Canada. You
- 44:32Speaker 2: see that now? The millions of dollars that you put
- 44:37Speaker 2: for those conferences.
- 44:40Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
- 44:41Speaker 2: They don't care what is happening to your Naira. That
- 44:48Speaker 2: you can start negotiation before two months.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Your Naira has done what it has done.
- 44:54Speaker 2: You see that? The help of God. Let me tell
- 45:02Speaker 2: you this. I know the benefits of knowing God. And
- 45:05Speaker 2: I'm speaking to someone. Take the time to know God, oh.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Take the time. Because your destiny will investigate whether you
- 45:16Speaker 2: know God sincerely.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Jesus I know. Paul I know.
- 45:21Speaker 2: The Spirit said, but who are you? There is no
- 45:24Speaker 2: standing in the Spirit. Many people are just principle conscious.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I'm coming there. But I am trying to correct something
- 45:33Speaker 2: this morning. Beyond principles. There are principles that help you
- 45:40Speaker 2: to sing well. My dear people, am I right on that?
- 45:42Speaker 2: I'm sure some of you do all the training. Your
- 45:45Speaker 2: voice training. Don't eat this. When you are singing, no
- 45:49Speaker 2: palm oil, no this and that so it doesn't interrupt
- 45:52Speaker 2: your voice. You know that you can get all of
- 45:54Speaker 2: that in right and stand by the knowledge of principles
- 45:59Speaker 2: and raise a song with a beautiful voice and somebody
- 46:02Speaker 2: will be sleeping while you are singing.
- 46:04Speaker 3: You are mentioning Jesus. You are mentioning salvation.
- 46:07Speaker 2: You are mentioning breakthrough and the person does not know
- 46:10Speaker 2: why he's dying as he's hearing you because presence was
- 46:13Speaker 2: not there. Every principle was correct. The same way a
- 46:19Speaker 2: preacher can come and preach principles, genuine principles, and those
- 46:24Speaker 2: who are listening, they don't know why there's no life
- 46:27Speaker 2: coming from what they are hearing. It is not an
- 46:29Speaker 2: error what they are hearing, but there's no life because
- 46:33Speaker 2: it is presence that gives life. The rod of Aaron
- 46:41Speaker 2: disobeyed a fundamental principle of growth. Anything that grows as
- 46:46Speaker 2: a tree must be planted to the earth. But that
- 46:49Speaker 2: rod violated that principle. But because it was in the
- 46:53Speaker 2: place of presence, it still produced results. So when you
- 46:59Speaker 2: come and look at someone who does not seem to
- 47:01Speaker 2: have a root, and yet you see results, it may
- 47:04Speaker 2: not be fake.
- 47:05Speaker 3: Find out what else supplemented it.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Are we together? It is true that based on principle,
- 47:11Speaker 2: business people, It takes about five years, listen oh, about
- 47:15Speaker 2: five years for any business to break even. Am I
- 47:19Speaker 2: right on that?
- 47:19Speaker 3: Then it will take another.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Three or four years to scale if the factors are
- 47:24Speaker 2: in your favor. Root. But there are times a sincere
- 47:28Speaker 2: person can say, God, I did not come from a
- 47:31Speaker 2: family with a father. I did not come from a
- 47:34Speaker 2: family with a mother. I am not lazy. This is
- 47:37Speaker 2: what I bring before you. I bring my rod and
- 47:41Speaker 2: in one year, You will be hearing the story in
- 47:45Speaker 2: Enugu here. It's as if a spell was casted on
- 47:48Speaker 2: people and people just come to the supermarket and they
- 47:52Speaker 2: are queuing before it is open. Every time you see
- 47:56Speaker 2: results that are beyond principles, I tell you a spirit
- 47:59Speaker 2: has come to partner with it. Whether it is an
- 48:03Speaker 2: occultic thing. Use this and get any result on earth.
- 48:08Speaker 2: The moment you see one plus one giving more than two,
- 48:12Speaker 2: I am telling you as a man of God, there
- 48:14Speaker 2: is a spirit. Either a demon is making you fall
- 48:17Speaker 2: or turn or the Holy Ghost has come to say,
- 48:19Speaker 2: I will back you. I am a man of principles.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I teach principles.
- 48:24Speaker 3: But by principles, I should not be where I am now.
- 48:28Speaker 2: By principles. By principles I should go forward. But not
- 48:34Speaker 2: this level. Not this level of ministry. Not this level
- 48:37Speaker 2: of impact. But when the presence comes. I love, I love.
- 48:46Speaker 2: I love your presence. I love, I love.
- 48:55Speaker 6: I love you Jesus.
- 49:00Speaker 3: I love, I love.
- 49:05Speaker 2: I love your presence. Hallelujah. Sit down. Eloquence, being able
- 49:13Speaker 2: to speak eloquently is a principle in communication. And there
- 49:18Speaker 2: are people who are vast in eloquence. They speak like gods.
- 49:23Speaker 2: And you will be surprised there's no increase. Their organization
- 49:27Speaker 2: does not grow. Are we together? And there are others
- 49:31Speaker 2: who will speak. You are wondering what is this man saying?
- 49:34Speaker 2: I have studied life. The equation is not linear. No. No.
- 49:40Speaker 3: The equation of destiny.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Is not linear. Ladies and gentlemen, only fools think it
- 49:46Speaker 2: is linear.
- 49:47Speaker 3: I have seen an unfair advantage.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Watch the trajectory of the life of a preacher, a
- 49:54Speaker 2: life of someone. There are times you will see someone's
- 49:57Speaker 2: equation is minus one, minus one. And yet the answer
- 50:01Speaker 2: is 1,000. How did that happen?
- 50:03Speaker 3: It's an answer that only God can give.
- 50:08Speaker 2: How does a young boy without a mother, without a father,
- 50:13Speaker 2: without an assistance. He studied something in school that should
- 50:17Speaker 2: not even give him a job. All of a sudden
- 50:19Speaker 2: he wakes up one morning and meets with another person.
- 50:23Speaker 2: And in four months he's working with United Nations.
- 50:26Speaker 6: No.
- 50:27Speaker 2: That is one plus one equals one thousand. It shouldn't
- 50:30Speaker 2: be that way. My prayer for you. Is that this
- 50:35Speaker 2: dimension of results. That will cost you. You will be
- 50:38Speaker 2: the first one shocked by your results.
- 50:41Speaker 3: May you begin to walk in that dimension.
- 50:47Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated. Please
- 50:53Speaker 2: be seated. When you take the time to know God.
- 51:01Speaker 2: Understand his presence. Learn how to invite him into the
- 51:06Speaker 2: affairs of your life. The Bible captures everything I've said
- 51:10Speaker 2: in Proverbs chapter 3 from verse 5. Trust in the
- 51:13Speaker 2: Lord with all your heart. It says to lean not
- 51:17Speaker 2: unto your own understanding. Then it says in all your
- 51:20Speaker 2: ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. Verse
- 51:25Speaker 2: 7 says be not wise in your own eyes. That
- 51:29Speaker 2: is the danger of being enlightened with principles alone. He says,
- 51:32Speaker 2: fear the Lord and turn away from evil. I submit
- 51:37Speaker 2: to you today by the message of God. I've stood
- 51:41Speaker 2: before kings. I've stood before presidents. I've stood before the
- 51:45Speaker 2: high and mighty. God has carried many lifetimes and brought
- 51:50Speaker 2: to me today. And sometimes I look back and I
- 51:54Speaker 2: cannot see the justification of principles alone. I am a
- 51:58Speaker 2: man of principles. But if I tell you it was
- 52:02Speaker 2: one plus one that became that, I repeat to you,
- 52:05Speaker 2: I should not.
- 52:06Speaker 3: Be at this level by principles.
- 52:08Speaker 2: I should not be yesterday, but I should not be today.
- 52:12Speaker 2: I should be somewhere between yesterday and today. Still walking
- 52:15Speaker 2: my way. I share with you a vision that I had.
- 52:19Speaker 2: One of the visions that opened me up. I've shared
- 52:24Speaker 2: part of it where I saw a generation, an endless
- 52:28Speaker 2: sea of people crying, no food, no water. When I
- 52:33Speaker 2: was going to rush to go and help those people
- 52:35Speaker 2: in the vision, please listen. I say that for a reason.
- 52:39Speaker 2: I was afraid because in that vision, it was as
- 52:43Speaker 2: if there were some people who wanted to hurt me.
- 52:45Speaker 2: And I was afraid because I didn't have the power
- 52:47Speaker 2: to fight. But I made up my mind. I said,
- 52:50Speaker 2: if I perish, I will perish. I can't let these
- 52:52Speaker 2: people cry like this. As soon as I opened the door,
- 52:57Speaker 2: I didn't understand what that vision meant until the later years.
- 53:01Speaker 2: I opened the door by myself. Engaging principles. But the
- 53:06Speaker 2: first person I saw was a giant gray bearded man.
- 53:11Speaker 2: Now I know it's a similarity of the Holy Spirit.
- 53:14Speaker 2: I mean infinitely bigger than me. Maybe it would be
- 53:17Speaker 2: like 20 feet or 25 feet. And here is a
- 53:21Speaker 2: tiny boy standing. And he stretched his giant hand. He
- 53:25Speaker 2: said I should place my hand on his hand. I
- 53:28Speaker 2: placed my hand and he said I will walk with you.
- 53:31Speaker 2: And he held my hand. Watch this now. And we
- 53:33Speaker 2: started moving. You can imagine, it's like dragging a dog.
- 53:37Speaker 2: But I was following. Then from the vision, the journey
- 53:41Speaker 2: was not a road. It was buildings. But you had
- 53:44Speaker 2: to jump from one building to the other. And connecting
- 53:48Speaker 2: the buildings were small ladders. And he took one giant
- 53:53Speaker 2: step and went to the other building. And was watching
- 53:55Speaker 2: me as I was coming. I was climbing slowly. Because
- 53:59Speaker 2: the building was really large. He was a giant. You see.
- 54:04Speaker 2: I know now. What that meant. The small ladders were principles.
- 54:10Speaker 2: But he did not lead me to principles alone. He
- 54:13Speaker 2: was there. And there are times when you are too slow.
- 54:16Speaker 2: He says for the purpose of where we are going.
- 54:21Speaker 2: God carries men. God carries men. God carries man. If
- 54:28Speaker 2: you don't believe that, you don't know the power of God.
- 54:31Speaker 2: God carries man. Are we together now? Like a mother
- 54:34Speaker 2: carrying the baby. It's true that the baby should walk.
- 54:37Speaker 2: But there are times you are in a hurry. The
- 54:38Speaker 2: flight is about to leave. And you pick the baby.
- 54:42Speaker 2: When you pick the baby, you don't see the baby's steps.
- 54:45Speaker 2: but you see the baby inside the aircraft how did
- 54:47Speaker 2: you get there you were carried on the wings of
- 54:50Speaker 2: his mercy let me prophesy over someone in ministry someone
- 54:54Speaker 2: in business in the name of jesus christ you will
- 54:57Speaker 2: be carried on the wings of the spirit you will
- 55:01Speaker 2: be carried to a realm of extraordinary results a realm
- 55:07Speaker 2: of extraordinary manifestations in the name of jesus please be
- 55:13Speaker 2: seated Have you understood everything I've taught so far? That
- 55:21Speaker 2: your journey begins when you correct your motif. And then
- 55:25Speaker 2: second to that is you must press to know God.
- 55:29Speaker 2: Now listen, when the knowledge of God is in place,
- 55:33Speaker 2: then you can now begin to press to learn principles first.
- 55:37Speaker 2: Let me list for you at least 10 laws, principles
- 55:40Speaker 2: that you need to learn to excel.
- 55:42Speaker 3: I don't have the time to teach them.
- 55:44Speaker 2: Number one, the law of diligence. You must be a
- 55:48Speaker 2: diligent person. Number two, the law of honor. I'm showing
- 55:53Speaker 2: you the various laws that now make sense when you
- 55:56Speaker 2: find his presence.
- 55:58Speaker 3: The law of diligence.
- 55:59Speaker 2: There are so many, but I will list a few.
- 56:01Speaker 2: The law of diligence. A diligent hand shall be made fat.
- 56:06Speaker 2: For not being a diligent person, a low life can
- 56:08Speaker 2: work against you. Number two, the law of honor. Number three,
- 56:14Speaker 2: the law of relationships. You are as powerful as the
- 56:19Speaker 2: men who have chosen to stand with you.
- 56:23Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said?
- 56:24Speaker 2: You are as powerful as the men who have chosen
- 56:27Speaker 2: to stand with you. Numbers chapter 1 and verse 5.
- 56:30Speaker 2: These are the names of the men who shall stand
- 56:34Speaker 2: with you.
- 56:34Speaker 3: Media give it to us. Read the A part please.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Let's read it together.
- 56:38Speaker 2: One, two, go. These are the names of the men that.
- 56:42Speaker 3: Shall stand with you.
- 56:44Speaker 2: Every time God gives you an assignment, there are men
- 56:46Speaker 2: who stand with you. And to the degree to which
- 56:49Speaker 2: you have found those men. And you must know the
- 56:52Speaker 2: principles that bring them up. One principle of relationship is friendship.
- 56:59Speaker 2: He that wants friends must first show himself friendly. So
- 57:04Speaker 2: if they say turn to your neighbor in church and
- 57:06Speaker 2: you turn and look at the person. You will later
- 57:08Speaker 2: find out that your application is in his office. The
- 57:11Speaker 2: person you just ignored. You never knew that was the
- 57:13Speaker 2: CEO who just came to church. Turn to the person
- 57:16Speaker 2: and say good evening and you ignore the person. And
- 57:19Speaker 2: then by Monday morning, are you not the one who
- 57:22Speaker 2: sat close to me on Sunday? Say, I didn't know
- 57:26Speaker 2: the law of relationships. Is someone learning? Very, very powerful.
- 57:31Speaker 2: These are spiritual laws. Laws that if you engage, are
- 57:36Speaker 2: we together? Write the third, the law of excellence. Excellence
- 57:41Speaker 2: is a law. It's the own Lord our God. How excellent,
- 57:45Speaker 2: not just how mighty. What does it mean to be excellent,
- 57:48Speaker 2: to be thorough, to surpass ordinary standards? When you make
- 57:53Speaker 2: up your mind to be excellent, that in itself, excellence
- 57:57Speaker 2: is a language like Igbo, like Yoruba, like Hausa.
- 58:01Speaker 3: There are people who hear that language.
- 58:03Speaker 2: When you speak their language, If I say stand up
- 58:06Speaker 2: in Igbo and someone is not Igbo, he will be
- 58:09Speaker 2: seated because it's not his language and he's not been
- 58:11Speaker 2: trained to learn it. Excellence is like that. Excellence has
- 58:15Speaker 2: a language that says come to me and those who
- 58:17Speaker 2: are excellent hear that language and they will answer it.
- 58:21Speaker 2: If your business is not speaking the language of excellence,
- 58:24Speaker 2: there are some people who will not be aware that
- 58:25Speaker 2: business is there. The Bible says Gentiles shall come to
- 58:29Speaker 2: your light but their.
- 58:30Speaker 3: Kings come to the brightness of your rising.
- 58:36Speaker 2: The law of excellence. Are we learning now? I mean,
- 58:40Speaker 2: I'm just listing for you a few laws that if
- 58:44Speaker 2: you do not understand the law of humility, for instance,
- 58:49Speaker 2: the Bible says, but he giveth grace to the humble.
- 58:53Speaker 2: God gives grace to the humble. Are we together? He
- 58:56Speaker 2: opposes the proud. So every time you find yourself engaging
- 59:00Speaker 2: the law of humility, know that there is no limit
- 59:03Speaker 2: to your rising. You know why? Because humility is based
- 59:07Speaker 2: on an awareness of where God brought you from. Humility
- 59:12Speaker 2: is one mistake you can make that both God and
- 59:16Speaker 2: Satan will fight you.
- 59:18Speaker 3: And when God is fighting you.
- 59:20Speaker 2: The anointing cannot help you because the anointing was not
- 59:23Speaker 2: designed to fight God. The only thing that helps you
- 59:27Speaker 2: when God is fighting you is the prayer of mercy.
- 59:31Speaker 2: Are we together? There are many people, when Satan fights you,
- 59:36Speaker 2: it's bad. But when God fights you, you can't run
- 59:39Speaker 2: to Satan, you can't run to men. It's him fighting you,
- 59:43Speaker 2: you run to. How can you run to a man
- 59:46Speaker 2: who is fighting you? God for you. The only person
- 59:49Speaker 2: who can help you, where can you hide from his presence?
- 59:52Speaker 2: Will Satan cover you when God is fighting you? Will
- 59:55Speaker 2: men protect you when God is fighting you? When God
- 59:58Speaker 2: is fighting you, anything fights you. Even what he gave you. Anything.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: It's a terrible thing to fall into the hands of God.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: If Satan is fighting you, not everything fights you. There
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: are things God gave you that can even shield you
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: from his attack. But when God is fighting you, everything
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: from him joins in the fight. Everything. This is why
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: nobody wins. If you fight with God, you will not win.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: And one way to cause a fight between you and God, unfortunately,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: if it ever happens, is pride. Pride.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: Run away from it. Have I listed a few laws
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: for you now?
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Now imagine a human being who is living his life,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, not knowing God and not knowing these laws.
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: You wake up in the morning, between 6 o'clock and 12,
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: you have violated five laws. The law of diligence, you failed.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: The law of humility, you failed. The law of relationship,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: you failed. The law of honor, you failed. In six hours,
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: you have violated those laws. You are only laboring, wasting
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: your time. I hope you know that everything that brings
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: us results is not what we do.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: It's the understanding that supports what we do.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: Are we together? Do business and violate these five laws.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: I don't care what else you know, you will lose.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: You will lose for sure. Hallelujah. There are many other laws.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: There is the law of continuous development. Continuous development that
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: you never settle. You know that there is still a
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: better tomorrow. The law of continuous development is how champions remain. Champions.
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: Continuous development is not for failures.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: It's for those who have already started producing results. And
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: something happens to you when you've started producing results. Complacency.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: And so when you give to continuous development, you have
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: conquered the laxity and the deception that success brings. Hallelujah. Principles.
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: I have a few minutes. Let me jump and talk
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: about faith.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Please look up. How many of you know that it
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: does not matter what you know, if you do not
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: take steps to engage it, God is not committed to
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: making it work for you. I gave an example one time.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: Let me give it again. Where's that, my friend? Please come.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: This is my friend. You're a good friend. Come. Watch this.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: I'm going to give you an instruction. The instruction is
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: to go right there and return.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: Okay? Okay?
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: So go right there and return.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Did he obey me? Now, he may not know why.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: There was no reward, unfortunately. This is why many people
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: don't obey because they seem not to be able to
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: see the reward.
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: They want to see the reward first.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: Are we together? Obedience is not just based on reward consciousness.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: It's based on trust. If the only thing that governs
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: your obeying God is a sense of reward, then there
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: are many instructions you will not obey. Because it is
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: not every instruction that comes with rewards. There are instructions
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: that are meant to build trust. I told this guy now, go,
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: go again. How many of you know that to somebody
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: I'm wasting his time? Come back. Did I give you anything?
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: Did you expend energy? You would have been doing something.
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Go again. Come back. Go one last time. Listen, I
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: want to teach you a dimension of obedience. By now,
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: this guy is honestly getting tired too. It's just that
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: his respect for me. Are you seeing now?
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: So at this point, he's not going and coming just
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: because of reward.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: He's going and coming because he trusts that I don't
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: even know what I'm doing.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: But I trust that there must be something.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: Even if there is nothing, the fact that he's giving
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: me an instruction, you see that his focus is not
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: what he will get, it's who he's honoring. Most of
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: our faith does not produce because it's not hinged on God.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: It's hinged on his hand. So we just say, God,
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: I need money.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: What do I do?
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: And he says, give me. Oh yeah, as he's giving you,
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: I'm watching your basket.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: I've dropped it to two weeks.
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: And God says, no, it's not about it. It's about me.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: Who is learning? I've had many teachings on faith. I'm
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: correcting your mind. I'm sorry we're doing a crash course
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: this morning. Learn this.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: I'm showing you where you've been making the mistake.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Go again, my friend. How many times has he gone?
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Call the five every year. How many years now? One
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: more year. By the time he's returning back, somebody will
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: block him and say, my brother, come. This thing you
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: have been doing, eh? I don't mean to insult you,
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: but are you a stupid person? Is something wrong with
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: your head?
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Watch this. While you are laughing, I'm showing you why
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: things don't work.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: What is God looking for? Wasting my time for five years.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: Because our mentality is that as soon as I go once,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: as I'm returning, he should hold something. So what you
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: are looking at is the something, not the man. There
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: are times God is building trust. It's not reward yet. Go.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: One more time. This guy will get tired and angry.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: A day will come, his face will start changing. That
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: is the test. Are we together?
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: It's not the reward. That is the test. Then a
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: time will come where.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: He is faced with the temptation of obeying or disobeying
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: based on weariness. And he can make a covenant and say,
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: even if he tells me to go and come 1,000 times, I.
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: Don't care if there's any reward.
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: I will go. The day I hear him say that,
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: maybe it's the eighth time. Now you go the eighth time.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: You see that? He's looking at me. And then I say,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: you don't need to go again. Here is a seat
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: for you.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: Now, watch this. Help me.
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: Are we together now?
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Watch this. See, he's laughing. This man too likes me. Now,
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: watch this.
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: Watch this, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: Now, watch this. Did he have to go again? But
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: you will be angry and say he did not go
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: and he got money. You will not know that he
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: was building trust. Let me redefine faith for you. Faith
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: is not always about obeying for rewards. If you don't
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: learn this, pastors learn this. Don't always look for physical rewards.
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: There are times God is helping you to build trust.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: God will tell you, go and empty your account and
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: you start rejoicing. You are not rejoicing because you love God.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: You are rejoicing because you have been taught that you
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: can never out give God. And so while you, and
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: it is true, as you empty the account, you are waiting.
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: Let me hear the testimony. And two years, God.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Will act as if he has forgotten that obedience. That
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: is the test there. And you'll be like, God, we
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: need to talk. Last two years ago, You asked me
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: to empty my account.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: I emptied my account.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: And I even started speaking scripture. And God will say
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: that's what I want to correct. When you emptied your account.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: It was not me you trusted. It was increase you trusted.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: I hope you know increase can be an idol. You
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: don't like what you are hearing. And then one day.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: Like this man now. Now, let's assume I was to
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: pay him for every step and I was to give
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: him one one dollar.
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: How many?
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: How many? Eight. So how much was he supposed to get? Now,
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: this guy would have gotten eight dollars. But right now
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: for foolishly obeying without a reward consciousness and for doing
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: nothing at a place of rest, he gets hundred dollars.
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: How much is $ 100? Business people. Huh?
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: Are you learning now?
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Now listen. When he comes to meet his colleagues and
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: they look at him, they will say you are most
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: likely a thief. When everybody is getting $ 11, where did
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: you get $ 100 from? And he says, I got it
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: by trusting God. You say you are a liar. They
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: will not know that when he came up this mountain,
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: there was something he was doing that did not make sense.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: I'm telling you how God taught me faith. I act
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: on the word today, not just with the consciousness of results.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. Results are powerful.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: But my obedience has never been tied to results. My
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: obedience is tied to my love and my honor to
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: his word. That means whether it works or not. I
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: will do what the word says. Who is learning? When
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: the word says give. I don't care whether increase comes
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: to me physically or not. Provided it is God's word.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: I live by the word. I don't just act the word.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: I live by the word. I have expectations. And God's
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: word is sure. But I am showing you the cure
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: to disappointments. Are we together now? Most of us are
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: transactional with God. It's the reason why you don't receive anything. God,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: I opened my hand. I gave you five naira. Where
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: is the ten naira? You said you would give me.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: Is it that you don't have the power to do it?
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: God said, I have the power, but there's something I need.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: I need to educate your spirit to understand that for
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: your obedience to be fruitful, your obedience must be tied
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: to your honor for me and my word. not the
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: result that is the reason why if god does not
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: work because your attention is on increase not god you
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: will leave him to another thing that can give you
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: increase because the idea was not who produces the increase
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: but the increase itself so if god does not work
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: and some charm can work you say well it's the
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: same thing the most important thing my drive is the
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: result not the person If your drive is God, even
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: if it does not work and an alternative comes, you
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: tell them, it's not the car, it's not the house,
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: it's the one who gives me. There is one who
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: must give me. If the devil says, I can give
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: you a house, you say, no, the house is not bad,
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: but the person who gives. Ah, there are things if
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: God does not give him, may I never get it.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: May I never get it in this life. Who is learning?
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: The church needs.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: To be careful. We need to, with all due respect,
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: I will not say this when I'm talking to everybody,
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: but the church needs to be careful with the teaching
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: on faith. There is something about our teaching on faith
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: that is destroying people. It's sincere, but it's destroying people
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: because our faith is largely transactional. Go and read the Bible.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Hebrews chapter 11. Please make reference to my teaching the
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: other side of faith. That there is something in the
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Bible called building testimonials of trust. The Bible calls it
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: a good report. And that a good report is far
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: superior to obtaining promises. Who is learning? Faith delivers promises. So,
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: I hope I didn't disappoint you this morning. Church is quiet.
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: You are saying, so what about my rent issue? Don't worry.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: God will sort it out. Are you saying I should
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: forget about it? When I left the landlord with an excuse,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: I said, I'm coming to church. God is still father,
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: but I'm showing you how to have a rich, a
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: full Christian life. By the time your walk with God
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: becomes transactional, it will turn to idolatry. Where your hunger,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: if you just, so most people are just searching for
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: principles that they will obey. Not because they love God.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: They have been told those principles work. So for instance,
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: they can tell you, you can dance your way out
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: of trouble. It's true. But the dancing is not really
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: because you are dancing to God. You are dancing as
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: a principle. The same way, how about to say, go backward.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: You are obeying that principle not because you like going backward.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: You don't care about him. You don't even know his name.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: He just said go backward and touch this and you'll
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: be the chairman tomorrow. That's how many people act with God.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: So the Bible says dance. I say okay. God said
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: I should dance. I will dance out my pain. And
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: while you are dancing, your attention is not on Jesus.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Your attention is on the result. And so if the
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: dance does not produce it, you will be angry. You
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: don't have the courage to confront him and tell him.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: Many of you right now, you are offended with God
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: because you have obeyed many principles. Because your faith needs
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: to be re-educated. When your faith is on God beyond
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: the result, there's no disappointment again.
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: Your obedience becomes.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: Consistent when it is hinged to God and not principles.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. The Bible says there
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: were some that did not obtain promises. But everybody obtained
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: a good report. Remember, he called them elders not because
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: they obtained promises. For by it the elders obtained a
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: good report. What was the report? The report of righteousness.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: That they trusted God. The report of some refusing to
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: receive deliverance. Looking forward to a better resurrection. And the
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: Bible called it faith. So faith that is entirely hinged.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: on only obtaining promises. I'm telling you, in this end time,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: many Christians will chicken out because they will say, Lord,
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: I engage this thing. As a pastor, I was told
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: that if I work in integrity, members will come. You
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: obeyed the principle and you kept looking. After one month,
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: no member came and said, look, I've tried this thing. Huh?
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: It did not work. Somebody will say, please, let's try
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: another thing. Once we are I hope this is the
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: right place I'm saying this thing.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. You will see more results beyond
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: your imagination. I can assure you on that. But I'm
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: showing you the correct way. Most times our teaching on
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: faith sincerely so has come out of our own frustrations.
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: Educating believers to.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: Be transactional is a dangerous theology. Even though it's sincere.
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: This is the reason why you have controversies like the
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: giving thing now.
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: That thing is an embarrassment.
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: To our understanding. The church should not even be discussing
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: such things. I will tell you the reason why. Because
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: most people have transacted bad business with somebody. It just
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: happens that the name of the customer is Jesus. Did
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: you hear what I said? They've done business with this
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: customer already. And they are saying you better show up
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: because Nigeria is boiling. And this customer, I gave you goods.
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: You didn't give me the reward. And I hear that
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: you are a savior. I hear you are a redeemer.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: I hear you are the lion of the tribe of Judah.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: You must be a wicked man for you to have
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: been collecting my money for all these years. And you
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: are not giving me anything. Transaction. I truly prospered when
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: I repented from transactional living. God gives. But I am
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: in a healthy relationship with him. That does not depend
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: on what he gives me. He gave me his best already.
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: When I did not ask for anything. It doesn't kill
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: my expectation. I expect great things. And I verbalize them
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: to him in prayer.
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: But he knows.
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: That my expectations for increase is secondary. My honor to
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: him is the principal motivation. I hope you are understanding this.
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: You came for a leaders meeting. Pastor. Go and pray
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: and say, Father, I trust you for increase.
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: I will obey the word of God. I will pray
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: in season and out of season.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: But it will never, never just be because I'm looking
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: for members. If my prayer life is controlled by the
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: desire for members. The day members do not come, you
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: will eventually stop praying. If your prayer life is controlled
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: just by increase and power and anointing, a day will
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: come after fasting for 100 days. Many young people now
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: are practicing it without knowing. They are praying and fasting
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: because they have said prayer and fasting leads to power.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: They are not concerned about using it for intimacy. They
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: are just using it as a spiritual transaction model to
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: get power. And it truly brings power. Except that if
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: your attention is on that power and not Jesus, you
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: will still receive an idol called anointing. Hallelujah.
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: That is the reason why when.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: You taste of the power, it comes with arrogance. And
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: you can say, I paid the price so. I paid
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: that price. I fasted for 100 days. There's nothing wrong
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: with that. But that is absolute nonsense. Except the Lord
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: builds a house. They labor in vain. I know a
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: gentleman who prayed for 400 days and fasted.
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: 400 days.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: I wrapped up with him. That gentleman cannot carry anybody
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: out of wheelchair till today.
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: I'm not downplaying it. Are we together? What I'm saying,
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: this thing needs to be corrected.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: Our transactional mentality. Idolatry is not only physical. You can
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: use spiritual laws to practice idolatry. And idolatry can be
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: practiced even towards Jesus. Just because the name of the person,
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: you can create an idol and name the idol Jesus.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: Are we together now?
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: Just because you have the idea of Jesus in your
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: mind does not mean he's the Jesus of the Bible. God,
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: even if you never bless me, I will love you.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: I will serve you. I will obey you. And I
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: will live for you.
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: Thank God for the blessings.
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: Thank God for the opportunity to watch your word produce
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: in my life. But even if it never bears fruit.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: If I came for this conference and I met only
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: one row of people, I tell you, on that God,
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: I will still be preaching with this passion. It is
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: an honor because everyone I would have met is equal
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: to the blood of Jesus. I will preach and shout
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: as if I'm talking to a stadium of people. Our
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: frustrations come because our business transactions called spirituality is not working.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: You will need to listen to this message again to
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: understand what I've said. Many of you don't yet get it.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: I'm being honest with you. You think you got it,
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: but you really did not get it. I struggle to
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: share what I'm sharing this morning, but the Holy Spirit
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: just put it in my heart. Since I'm talking to
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: leaders and pastors, these are some of the things we
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: need to correct. My dear people, we need to correct this.
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: God corrected it in my own life. You are not
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: bad when you find yourself being transactional with God. Now
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: there are expectations and God allows us to bring expectations
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: But I'm saying what is wrong with our Christian understanding
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: is that we come to God with a transactional mentality.
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: Our mindset is on the breakthrough. Our mindset is on
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: the lifting. Our mindset is on the promotion, not him.
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: It is him first before every other thing. Back to
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: my example so that this is my wonderful friend who
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: go and sit down. You see that? So you see
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: everything I've taught you now? You learn it. You are learning.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: You should be the one to produce this result more
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: than everybody. So go again one time. Come back. Next
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: time people ask you, what is the gain in serving God?
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Tell them the gain is the joy of honor more
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: than the things you receive. The joy of knowing that
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: I'm honoring my king. That way you will frustrate anybody
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: who is not serious with God. Because they cannot understand
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: why you are coming to church. Sister, if they ask you,
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: you have been coming to church and you are not
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: yet married. You are coming to church and you don't
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: yet have a child. Tell them, I desire marriage and
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: I desire a child. But to let you know that
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: we have passed that level with God a long time ago.
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: A long time ago. If my motivation for joining ushers
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: is that I hope That after two weeks, I will
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: find a husband. Let me tell you what you will do.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Every time preaching is going on, you will be looking at,
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: because where your, how does the Bible put it?
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: Where your treasure is. And I'm not being sarcastic.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Are we together? I'd like you to lay your hand
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: on your head and say, Father, redirect my focus to you.
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: Redirect my focus to you. Redirect my focus to you.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: We honor you. We honor you.
- 1:22:23Speaker 6: We honor you, Lord.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: We honor you. We honor you. We honor you, Lord.
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: You are praised. .
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: .
- 1:22:52Speaker 6: .
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: Apostle, why should I give as
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: a believer? Apostle, why should I come to church? Apostle,
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: why should I pray? Why should I fast? Now you
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: are redirecting my focus that is not just on the things,
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: the blessings, the object, the increase, but on him. Yes, sir.
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: So is it wrong to pray and fast for power?
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: No, sir.
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: Is it wrong to give expecting increase?
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: No, sir. In fact, to be honest with you, when
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: there is no expectation, You will not even get an answer.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: I am only reprioritizing your expectations. That your expectations should
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: not be on things outside of God.
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: Look at me. How many of you know.
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: That if I visit pastor's house, honestly, I know that
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: he loves me and I know that he honors me.
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: If he's aware I'm coming to his house, how many
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: of you know that at least I will leave that
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: house with a bottle of water? Is that true? But
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: will it not be foolish for that to be the
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: reason why I go to his house? When you go
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: for marriage or occasions in the east year, do you
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: go for food? But do you expect food? No, no, no.
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: I mean seriously now. Don't tell me what happens.
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: Someone said yes.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: Instead of paying 10,000 in this Nigeria, I'd rather just
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: look for somebody who is wedding. Are we together? But
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: I mean this seriously. So, you go for an occasion
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: and already as you are entering, the table is set.
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: But your attention is on the person, the celebrant. And
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: then even while you are eating, your attention is still there.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: That is how to profit from it. Imagine that you
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: go to a place and this is a celebrant. And
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: he said, please, I'm not here. I don't know who
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: the celebrant is. Who is responsible for this kitchen? And
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: the celebrant is watching you. And he said, sorry, sir.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: I'm not even interested in high table.
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: And once you see the drinks, you just go there
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: on your own.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Everyone is seated like this. They've not prayed. They've not
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: gotten to item seven. You just open everything and say,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: I know why I came.
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: And watch this.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: While you are saying that, you are saying, Reverend, I
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: honor you. You mean you are the one who is
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: really celebrating this birthday? How stupid does that sound? That's
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: how a lot of believers. Here is Jesus Christ. And
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: they come around and say, Jesus, it's not you. I've
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: been praying to God for a saxophone. It's just that
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: I use your name to get here. Can you give
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: me my saxophone? And they are going around him. And
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: he's trying to seek your attention. And I say, no.
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: Thank you for the saxophone.
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: I need a Bible. Jesus, again, I hear that you
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: give guitars. I saw the seed. This is how many
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: people are living there. Look at, he's trying to call
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: your attention. I trust you for a speaker again. And
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: in the mighty name of Jesus, give me another thing again.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: And at the end of it, you say, I'm a
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: man of faith. No. No, sir.
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: We honor you.
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: We Listen. This was a painful education that the Spirit
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: of God took me through. It brought deliverance to my life,
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: but it brought power to my life. Because when I prayed,
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: I do not stop making my petitions, but it has
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: become a relational thing. I was delivered from transactional Christianity
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: many years ago. By the mercies of God, I have
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: never served the Lord and will never serve him for
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: money or for things. Don't get me wrong. I expect rewards.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: I am a worker in his house and I am
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: deserving by mercy of the rewards. But go and ask God,
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: if he never blesses me again, I will still hold
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: this mic till the day I see his face. You see,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: if your mindset is transactional, it will spill over to
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: how you do ministry. I'm sorry to say this, we
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: are going to round up. This is the problem with
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: the church in the West. Their understanding of faith started well,
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: but it started tilting towards material transactions as proof that
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: the word is working. And it has now degenerated to
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: several levels of compromises. So if I'm coming to your church,
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: they'll have to arrange everything. You see that now? It's
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: a contractual thing. I don't need to know you. I
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: don't need to love the sheep. I don't need to
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: love who comes to get born again. That's not my business.
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: Are you going to give me $ 50, 000? If you are
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: doing that, I'm coming to your church. Oh, I don't
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: want to. It's men of God who will tell you
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: Some who have interacted with all due respect with preachers globally.
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: Who will tell you some understanding that people use for ministry,
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: that sometimes you need to go back and say, where
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: did these people keep the fear of God?
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: It becomes for the highest bidder.
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter if you are a devil, it
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: doesn't matter whether you are a sorcerer, whether you are
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: practicing witchcraft, Are you going to give me $ 50, 000? Yes.
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: Send a deposit of $ 40, 000 first.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: Then we'll talk. By the time $ 40, 000 hits my account,
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: I'm anointed. It doesn't matter what happens in your church.
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: If you're a young minister here, listen, let me encourage you.
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: I know that we're talking to both pastors, business leaders.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: Make up your mind under God that in righteousness, you
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: will get this thing right. Love everybody and honor everybody,
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: but stay with the spirit of grace to select a
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: righteous template for ministry so that you don't destroy yourself.
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: There are things that will look fashionable and marketable for
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: a while until the vengeance of God lands upon evildoers.
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: The path of.
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: Righteousness may be inconveniencing for a long time, but there
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: is honor in it. I have never, and I'm not
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: saying particularly for those who are music artists, but as
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: a man of God, a personal philosophy, I don't, I
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: will never bring, tell a church, come and give me money,
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: sign this. Oh, may God forbid it. I will not
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: be offended if that's the way God trained you to
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: save Johnny. We're all going to stand before him. But
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: as far as I am concerned, no. No. There are
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: things that never motivate my passion for invitations. Crowd.
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: The kind of great people like we have here.
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: Wealthy people.
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: Some of you are very, very wealthy people.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Congratulations. Thank God for his hand upon your life. That's
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: not my assignment. My sermons don't change because of the
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: status of the person there. Are we together? Are we together?
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: If I alter my sermon, it is because of gauging
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: the various levels of spiritual maturity so I know whether
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: I serve milk or meat or strong meat based on
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: the people there from a spiritual standpoint, not just a
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: standpoint of financial status and otherwise. There are things we
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: must correct. One of it is your idea of faith.
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: We may not have the time to do power. We
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: leave power for night. We have four more minutes and
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: I want us to pray. I'm only ending now so
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: that you will pray Are we together now? If you've
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: been sitting here from the beginning of this discussion, there
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: should be something you should correct in your life. In righteousness.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: And I'm sorry if at any point, God bless you,
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: my friend. Thank you. Hallelujah. Anybody who supported you will say,
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: I must share in that thing. I clapped for you
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: while you were there, so don't forget about me. Praise God. Nevertheless,
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: the foundation of the Lord standeth sure, having this seal,
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: that the Lord knoweth them that are his. Men cannot
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: know the Lord, but there are people the Lord knows.
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: The Lord knows them that are his. That means not
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: everybody belongs to him. He's creator of all. But it
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: does not relate with all. There are people who are his.
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: By reason of their passion, their press, their desire. Are
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: we together? That consecration and that depth of reach towards him. Beloved,
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: I came here by the message of God to charge
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: your heart. I'm showing you a path that leads to
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: authentic results in the spirit. We have the miracle service
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: for evenings. I will talk in the evening as if
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: I did not even mention what I said here. Because
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: the evening will be focused on God bringing consolation to
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: your lives. And I will talk as if I didn't
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: even mention the issue of things. We will pray for
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: all the blessings and pray and speak restoration and all
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: of that. But for you to have sustainable success, please
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: go back and listen to this teaching again. That the
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: journey of success starts when your motif is redefined. Are
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: we together? Are we together? The difference between carnality and
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: spirituality is not necessarily the pursuit, a sincere desire to
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: be great, but the intent, the motivation toward end. And
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: that in order of priority as you press for wisdom,
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: the Bible says the fear of the Lord is the
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: beginning of wisdom. It's not the end of wisdom, but
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: it's the beginning. The word beginning there means it is
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: the correct protocol for accessing wisdom that lasts. That means
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: if your pursuit for wisdom does not start with the
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: fear of the Lord, you will have corrupted wisdom. There
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: is such a thing as corrupted wisdom. For instance, the
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: wisdom of Egypt. It is corrupted wisdom. When you learn
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: of the wisdom of Egypt, you come with righteousness. You
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: have sustained the ability to purify it so that you
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: can remove that which is of God from that which
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: is nonsense. Like your education, whatever it is. You can,
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: through the word of God, rightly divide what you absorb
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: and use as a principle and what you throw away.
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: But wisdom that is of God is first pure, purified.
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: Are we together? The knowledge of God, then the knowledge
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: of his ways, principles. My son, give me your heart
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: and let your eyes attend to my ways. And I've
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: shared with you a few principles, laws. They didn't have
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: time to explain them. And now we spoke about the
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: issue of faith. And I'm teaching you that fatal, the
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: real definition of Bible faith that works. It must be
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: hinged on God first before your expectation. So that where
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: your expectation is lagging, delayed or does not even come.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: That testimonial of a relationship with God.
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: The privilege of communicating honor through obedience first. gives you
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: consolation are you getting the point now so expectations are
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: there but they are secondary your real motivation is the
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: honor of obeying god as proof that you trust him
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: and the bible says they looked unto him and their
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: faces were lightened if you look unto him you will
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: not be ashamed hold hands with someone by your left
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: and right let's pray in the spirit for two or
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: three minutes go ahead and pray you want this word
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: to stay in your heart Someone go ahead and pray. Hallelujah. Listen. Listen.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: It will just take two or three minutes. You just
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: do what I'm asking you to do. You have listened
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: to this. I want you to pray in the spirit.
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: You are not asking for anything. Let your attention be
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: on Jesus and you are praying. Go ahead and pray.
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: .
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: that the
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: that you may know that you may know that you
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: may know if these things be in you and abound
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: they will make that you are neither fruitful in the
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: knowledge of god.
- 1:37:23Speaker 4: You are praying in the spirit. Just a few minutes
- 1:37:27Speaker 4: but God is preparing your heart.
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: This is how we experience restoration and increase. When our attention,
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: our focus is redirected back to Jesus. When our understanding
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: and our alignment is gotten back in place.
- 1:38:17Speaker 4: And light it.
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: And lighten.
- 1:38:21Speaker 4: Access to superior light. That was a true light. That
- 1:38:25Speaker 4: lightened every man. Lightened every man.
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: Lightened every man.
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: Lightened every man. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. See,
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: in the presence of God, three things happen. Number one,
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: the light that comes from his word brings an adjustment
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: to your spiritual understanding. Number two, the second thing that
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: happens is that there is an activation. I'm saying that
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: because of what is about to happen here now. There
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: is an activation. To activate means to make a life
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: to a reality. To make a life. You see, The
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: spirit of a man is like a gadget. And these
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: gadgets have different connection points. And until that activation happens,
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: that gadget will not function optimally. Like you buy a fridge,
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: there is a place where you connect it to the
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: power source, but there is a place where you adjust.
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: Are we together now? So the fridge is not just
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: an empty box where you put things inside. There is
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: a way you engage the fridge. That's how the spirit
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: of a man is. You can be connected to the
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: power source. But there are adjustments. There are times the
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: fridge is not cold enough. And you can adjust based
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: on the atmospheric temperature.
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: You can make certain adjustments.
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: The times that we live in now require certain adjustments.
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: It's like an iron. You want it to press your cloth.
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: But now the thermostat... The kind of material you want
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: to press requires that you use both water and fire.
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: A mystery.
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: Both water and fire.
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: That water, you sprinkle water on the cloth to make
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: it a bit wet. Then you now iron it slowly
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: with that fire and you see everything straightened. Hallelujah. Praise
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: the name of the Lord. You came here since morning.
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: You have tabernacled in this place. We'll have the time
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: to pray in the evening. But I will speak just
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: over two people. And then to honor God's word. Listen
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: to me. Many of you, what is happening to you
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: is a baptism. There is an immersion. You are in
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: this place, but the call of God is upon your life.
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: These are the first.
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: Group of people. Truly, I'm not talking you're a businessman.
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: The call of God is upon your life. You are
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: actually having that call in ministry. Either in ministry or
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: you are about to step into ministry.
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: There is a grace.
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: I'm trusting God to rest on your life now.
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: You need it.
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: You see, having purified your motive, And this includes men
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: and women together. It doesn't have to be men alone
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: or women alone. I want to pray for you now.
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: You are still holding the hands of someone and I'm praying.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: That grace will rest. Not everyone. This is not for everybody.
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: There are people who came here sincerely. You are beginning
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: a journey with God from this conference. And that journey
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: is going to lead you into deep dimensions in the spirit.
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: Because the kind of grace that you are carrying. The
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: kind of mandate God is trusting you with. It's a
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: grace that the nations must hear about. And in the
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: name of Jesus right now. I release.
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: I stretch my hands. And I'm praying for you.
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: Enugu.
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: By the power that raised Christ from the dead.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: Everyone who has the hand of God. The call of
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: God upon his life. Let this grace I'm talking about.
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: That leads you like a river. Into deep things in
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: the spirit. Deep things in the spirit. Deep things in
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: the spirit. Deep encounters. In the spirit. That produce power.
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: And make you a man and a woman of stature.
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: May that grace rest on you. Whether you are in front.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: Whether you are at the back. Whether you are following
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: on life. May that grace in righteousness. May it rest
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: upon you now. May it rest upon you now. Let
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: it separate you unto righteousness. Let it bring you into
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: a realm of power. Job said there is a path
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: which no eyes, the eyes of the whelps, the vulture
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: and the lion's whelps has not gotten there. A path,
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: a virgin dimension in the spirit. May the Holy Ghost
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: take you through that path. May the Holy Ghost take
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: you through that path. May the Holy Ghost take you
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: through that path. In the name of Jesus. The place
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: of power. The place of results. Where you become a
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: man of stature in the spirit. Indeed.
- 1:44:22Speaker 3: Number two.
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: The second group of people that I'm praying for now. Hallelujah.
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: Look up please. Let me have your attention. I'm going
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: to pray that for everybody again hopefully. But I'm going
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: to pray for people now. Who have been stunted in
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: an area in life. Not because of unrighteousness. Life has
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: just happened to you. In a way that is not favorable.
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: And rather than making progress in life. You have found yourself.
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: Even though you have engaged many principles. Like we taught.
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: For some reason you have just been at the same place.
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: You will be the first to experience this restoration fire.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: And I want to pray it over you now. For
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: those people. We don't have time. I'm seeing that I've
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: been given 10 minutes. I'm grateful for that. I want
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: you to bring those people out. I will speak to
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: them very quickly under the anointing. I'm going to pray.
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: Some of you, like you'll be learning tonight, the reason
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: why you are where you are is an.
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: Engineering from darkness.
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: It's an attack.
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: Are we together?
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: I told you that when spirits come into the life
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: of an individual, they can make principles fail. Please, for
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: such people, whether you are an usher or not, I
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: want you to bring them out.
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: I want to pray.

- 1:46:20Speaker 2: Bring them out. Let it fall on you now. No,
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: I'm only asking those under the anointing to come. But
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: since you people have come, I speak over your life.
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. But I need those
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: under the anointing. Bring them out. patterns I'm hearing in

- 1:53:04Speaker 2: Hyena. Hyena.

- 1:53:13Speaker 2: Hyena. You've confirmed it medically. You're having the pain now.

- 1:53:26Speaker 2: All of you in your family, you have it. God

- 1:53:41Speaker 2: will know that it is a demonic thing. Any trouble
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: you are going through now, and you are seeing your
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: family members go through it too, in the name of Jesus,
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: if you have the faith to believe, I pray for you,
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: an end comes to that tragedy. You can imagine. Let
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: me hear what she's saying.
- 1:54:13Speaker 3: Your sister. Her name is Favor.
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: What happened to her?
- 1:54:17Speaker 3: They said next year she'll come and remove your own.
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: Thank God for conferences like this. Thank God for conferences
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: like this that give us an opportunity to experience the
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: power of God. You see, you will not really know
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: the value of power till trouble comes to your life.
- 1:54:48Speaker 3: And everything that can solve that trouble is not there.
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: The Bible says the woman with the issue of blood,
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: she first tried medicine, but she had spent all her earnings.
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: So that one was beyond sickness. It was a devourer.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: She was in no way bettered. Hallelujah. My friend, this man,
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: look at me. Tap him for me. Hold my hands.
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: I want to bless you. I don't know what you do.
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: I don't know your name. I just saw myself holding
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: your hands. In the name of Jesus, I hold your
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: hands and I pray for you. Look at me. In
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, let there be increase and restoration
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: in your life. Increase. Don't forget this prayer. Go back
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: and war with it and you will marvel and wonder
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: at what God does in your life. God bless you.
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ. Praise the name of
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: the Lord. Now, we have to stop somewhere here. The
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: spirit of a prophet is subject to the prophet. We
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: just have a few hours and we're back for the
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: miracle service. Since you are here early, let me tell
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: you two things to do to prepare for a miracle.
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: Number one, take the time to contemplate on the goodness
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: of God. Not your problem. The goodness of God. that
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: he who did not spare his son, but offered him
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: up freely for us. The Bible says, how shall he
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: not much more give us all things freely? When you
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: set your affection on Jesus Christ, it is not evil
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: to expect things to come. Once that initial focus is there,
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: you've pegged it like a thermostat, then it is fair,
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: it is righteous to receive all the consolations that come
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: with salvation. The Bible says, with joy you will draw
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: out of the wells. Salvation has wells. There are benefits
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: to serving God. Psalm 103 talks about six of them.
- 1:56:42Speaker 3: Bless the Lord, O my soul. Forget not his benefits.
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: Number one, who forgiveth thy sins, who healeth all thy diseases.
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: Are we together? Who delivers you from death, oppression. And
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: the Bible talks about... Who crowned thee with loving kindness
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: and tender mercies. Who redeemed thy soul from destruction. Who
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: satisfied your mouth with good things so that your youth
- 1:57:12Speaker 2: is renewed. Like that of an eagle. So I will
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: pray for you. But for the dear lady, please place
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: your hand. If your family members are around, invite them.
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: Invite them. If they cannot come, they should connect online. Father,
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: I pray for this lady. in the name that is
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: above all names, Hyena, I decree and declare that you
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: leave this lady now. The Bible says, ought not this woman,
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these years,
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: ought not this woman, I stretch my hands and I
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: decree and declare right now, that pain, that swelling, that discomfort,
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: whatever it is, hear the word of the Lord, give
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: way now. I release the healing power of Jesus to
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: your body and I declare correction. And as it's happening
- 1:58:04Speaker 2: to you, let it happen to your sister also and
- 1:58:08Speaker 2: all your family members. in the name of Jesus Christ
- 1:58:11Speaker 2: I pray amen and amen for all of you who
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: are in front I stretch my hands over you I
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: declare for some of you even before the night session
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: you return with your testimonies in Jesus name we pray
- 1:58:23Speaker 2: please celebrate them you return to your seat so we
- 1:58:27Speaker 2: see in the evening Come with your heart full of
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: hunger and expectation. And the Lord will do you good.
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: In Jesus name we pray. God bless you.
