The entrance of your word gives light and understanding onto the
0:04
simple. We thank you for this day that
0:06
the Lord has made. Indeed, we'll rejoice and we'll
0:09
be glad in it. Bless our hearts and be
0:11
glorified, for in Jesus name we pray.
0:16
Reverend Sam, thank you again to you and your dear wife.
0:19
Congratulations to our graduates.
0:21
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you will go from
0:25
glory to glory. Amen.
0:28
Please be seated. It's a long day.
0:30
And so let's start on a good note so that we'll allow time
0:35
for other very important activities.
0:38
Yesterday we just put a cap on a session.
0:44
Just a prophetic charge, I would say.
0:47
And so I'll just use the time that I have to build a few
0:50
things. My point of focus yesterday was
0:56
to bring us to a realization that life, success, greatness,
1:01
victory, mastery, dominion is a product of engaging specific
1:08
Kingdom keys. Or in other words, there's a
1:12
price to pay and not everything in the Kingdom is a gift.
1:17
There are dimensions in the Kingdom that are rewards.
1:21
They are proof that you have worked in keeping with certain
1:24
things. We said yesterday that God is a
1:26
God of patterns. Remember Leviticus Chapter 9 and
1:30
verse 6? When you engage life in a
1:33
certain way, when you engage certain Kingdom keys, there are
1:38
very specific outcomes. That will be your lot.
1:42
So for this morning, let's look at the final part of my
1:45
discussion. Deuteronomy chapter 1.
1:48
We'll look at 6 to 8. Deuteronomy 1/6 to 8 The Lord
1:54
our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long
2:00
enough in this mount. Ye have dwelt long enough in
2:06
this mount. Then it says, Turn you and take
2:10
your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto
2:13
the places nigh there, unto in the plain, in the hills, the
2:19
veil, the South, by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and
2:23
unto Lebanon and the great river, the river Euphrates.
2:27
Verse 8 Behold, I have set the land before you.
2:31
This is my own part. I have set it before you, your
2:35
assignment. Go in and possess the land which
2:39
the Lord swear unto your father's Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
2:43
to give unto them, and their seed after them.
2:47
The Lord bless the reading of His word in Jesus name.
2:49
One last scripture, Revelation chapter 4 and verse one.
2:53
I find this a very profound scripture.
2:56
I've done a few teachings around this scripture.
2:59
It's impacted my life so much. The Bible says after this I
3:04
looked and behold a door was opened in heaven and the first
3:12
voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with
3:17
me which said come up, hit her and I will show you the things
3:23
that must be thereafter. You must understand that
3:25
Revelation chapter 4 comes after 123.
3:30
Those 3 chapters were already spectacular.
3:33
John was in the Isle of Patmos. He had seen so many things.
3:37
He'd written the letters to the seven churches that when the
3:40
then Asia Minor, representing the Universal Church, came with
3:44
messages. He had seen the similitude of
3:47
God, the brightness of his face. I mean, you would think there
3:50
were not room for anything more. But the Bible says after this,
3:55
after all those encounters, after all those dimensions, he
3:59
said, I still looked. I was not distracted by the
4:02
results of the past. After this, I looked.
4:05
Many people will not look again after this.
4:08
That this means Revelations 1, Revelations 2, Revelations 3.
4:13
If you see what John saw in chapter one, 2-3 is enough to
4:17
stop looking. I mean, what else?
4:18
I've seen Jesus, I've written to the churches what they say after
4:22
this. It takes time enough to look
4:24
after some of these. After the success, I still
4:28
looked. After the victory, I still
4:31
looked after I won yesterday, I still looked, he says.
4:35
When I looked, I saw that a door was still open.
4:39
Doors talk of opportunities, doors talk of continuation to
4:43
your journey. After this I looked and I saw a
4:47
door was open and a voice spoke through that door.
4:51
And even though he was already in heaven, he said come up
4:54
either. Can you imagine that that you
4:56
are already in heaven and he said come up.
4:58
There are some things you cannot see from this height.
5:02
You need to come up either. You have seen the things that
5:05
will be, but I need to show you the things that will happen
5:08
after. It was when he came up hit that
5:11
he now saw the worship of the Lamb.
5:13
He never saw that in chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, he saw the
5:18
seven Lamb stands and he saw the similitude of Jesus, but he
5:23
never saw the things that happened in the throne room
5:26
until he came up higher. Then he now saw the worship of
5:30
the Lamb. Hallelujah.
5:32
There is always room for more. No matter what God has done in
5:37
and through your life, there is always room for more.
5:41
Now, moving higher and upwards immediately suggests that you
5:46
are moving against gravity. Flight has taught us that when
5:51
you are moving, especially when you are lifting, is is one of
5:55
the most delicate parts. The lifting of a plane and the
5:59
landing. In fact, that is one of the
6:01
areas that measure the professionalism of a pilot.
6:05
When the flight is on autopilot. It doesn't.
6:08
You can literally walk away as a pilot and even go to bed and do
6:12
some other things. But lifting and landing,
6:17
especially when you're rising, you're rising against the tides.
6:20
There are times when the plane is about to lift.
6:22
They preempt you that because of the weather condition, the ride
6:26
is going to be a bit bumpy. No cause for concern.
6:29
If you find the plane bouncing, you see that now.
6:32
And once he hits the runway and lifts in seconds, literally
6:38
seconds, you are in the air. But that accendance will
6:41
continue. The pilot gets determined and
6:44
then he gets to a point where they beep you and they say you
6:47
can now do some other things, maybe remove your seat belt and
6:51
so on and so forth. So it's very, very important to
6:53
know that moving higher and upwards is always against
6:58
gravity. Like we learned yesterday, the
7:01
gravity of history will want to pull you down.
7:04
The gravity of systems will want to pull you down.
7:08
The gravity of men, antagonists will want to pull you down.
7:13
All of these have an emotional, psychological, gravitational
7:18
force that wants to pull you down.
7:20
Your history, your background wants to pull you down The
7:24
system, Unfortunately, that is already by default fighting you
7:29
by reason of your conviction, trying to pull you down.
7:33
Are we together? And then antagonists, the Bible
7:37
called them wicked and unreasonable men.
7:40
For he said not all men have faith.
7:43
There are people who are just instruments in the hand of Satan
7:47
who are determined to perpetually be in partnership
7:51
with him to thwart everything God, everything destiny.
7:56
May you not find such people in your life and if you do find
7:59
them, the grace to navigate your path away from them.
8:02
Receive it in Jesus name. Now I'll give you very quickly.
8:07
I would touched on a little yesterday, but let me work with
8:10
the time that I have to give you maybe four or five of these
8:14
keys. They double as the price, the
8:17
price it takes for ascendance in life, in destiny.
8:21
What does it take for a man, for a woman to ascend against the
8:26
tide of your history, your background, against the tide of
8:31
system and status quo, against the tide of the antagonisms that
8:36
surround your, you know, your environment and all of that?
8:40
Number one, the first price you must pay if you desire to
8:46
accent, to advance, to press, to go forward, to become a voice in
8:52
any generation is a burning desire.
8:56
You must have a genuine desire for growth.
8:59
You must have a genuine desire for increase.
9:02
You must have a genuine desire for advancement, a burning
9:08
desire. It must be a desire that eats
9:11
you up. It must be a desire that can
9:14
help you overcome the inertia of status quo.
9:18
A burning desire. Micah chapter 2 and verse 10.
9:22
I like us to read that scripture together.
9:24
Micah chapter 2 and verse 10. Ready.
9:28
Let's read 1 to go. Arise ye and depart, for this is
9:33
not your rest. Because it is polluted.
9:37
It shall destroy you even with a sword.
9:40
Destruction. It says arise and depart, for
9:44
this is not your rest. This is a good place, but it is
9:51
not your rest. This is a great financial level,
9:54
but it is not your rest. It's a great dimension of the
9:57
anointing, but it is not your rest.
9:59
At this level. There you will not be able to
10:01
conquer much land. I like what Reverend Sam said
10:04
before I came up. He immediately from his
10:07
statement, I know there's a basic course, there's an an
10:10
intermediate of course or something like that, and then
10:13
there is an advanced course. He encouraged everyone, but he
10:16
was honest enough to tell them, look, there's a journey at every
10:19
level. It's important to celebrate
10:21
where you are, but don't get too distracted with where you are.
10:25
He says arise and depart. You know what it means to
10:31
depart, especially when you are not at a place of failure.
10:35
It makes sense to rise and leave the place of failure.
10:39
But if you have to rise and leave success for greater
10:42
success, it is difficult. There are many people today who
10:46
began to lose because they succeeded.
10:50
Their losses began from the last time they succeeded.
10:55
A burning desire. I like it.
10:57
Paul puts it beautifully. Speaking to the church in
11:01
Philippi, he said this one thing I do forgetting the things that
11:05
are behind. He never said.
11:07
Forgetting the bad things he never said, forgetting the
11:10
disappointment provided there are things behind, whether they
11:14
are yesterday's trophy, whether they are yesterday's success.
11:18
Once they are behind, he said forgetting the things that are
11:21
behind and reaching forth for the things that are before me.
11:25
Then he uses a beautiful word that should be verse 14, the 1st
11:29
2 words. Please.
11:30
Everybody want to go one more time, one more time.
11:34
He didn't just say I desire, he said I press.
11:40
I press against gravity, but I press against popular opinion.
11:45
But I press never been done in my family.
11:47
But I press never been done. When Zechariah was met by the
11:54
Angel and they announced the soon arrival of John and they
11:59
said that his name will be called, they said no, no, no,
12:01
no, no. What kind of thing is this?
12:04
Zechariah's mouth was shut. So he will not use the anointing
12:07
to destroy the destiny of the prophet because that will have
12:09
an implication on Jesus. Hallelujah.
12:13
And later on when they were about to search for the names,
12:16
they said John. I said no, no, we've not.
12:18
This kind of name is not used here.
12:21
And his mouth would not open till he agreed, even though it
12:24
was not on or was not usual. When he wrote John without
12:28
prayer, his mouth open. The fact that it's not been done
12:33
before does not mean it is wrong.
12:36
Hallelujah. Somebody must always touch
12:39
something. A new order, a new dimension.
12:42
I pray for you. In the name of Jesus, let the
12:44
grace to pioneer new frontiers in the Spirit, in life, in
12:48
destiny, that grace be released upon you.
12:52
There were some things we never knew were possible in the body
12:54
of Christ until someone believed God enough and took that step to
12:59
press a burning desire. A burning desire.
13:04
One of the ways you cultivate a burning desire is to examine the
13:08
consequences of stagnation and stuntedness.
13:12
When you examine the consequences of stagnation and
13:16
stuntedness, it can help cultivate a burning desire in
13:21
your heart. Jesus said in John chapter 15.
13:25
It says every branch that does not bear fruit I will cut off.
13:31
You know what Jesus did to a fig tree that did not produce?
13:34
He didn't advise it. He didn't counsel it.
13:37
That's the epitome of love. The Bible says he cost it and it
13:40
was not the time of figs, but provided it was connected to the
13:44
earth, He said you should still justify the fact that you are
13:47
receiving from the earth and it cost it.
13:49
He said no man eat of you again and by the moral it had
13:52
withered. Jesus seemed to have 0 tolerance
13:57
for unfruitfulness 0 no excuses whatsoever 5 loaf and two fish.
14:05
He said put the people down and feed them.
14:08
He said master don't cause trouble, you finished a great
14:10
crusade, allow these people to quietly go home.
14:13
He said no I wouldn't leave them that way, get them something to.
14:17
He said even if you say yes wages, we can't have enough to
14:20
feed these people a burning desire.
14:25
Many people do not have a burning desire to be anointed.
14:29
Many people do not have a burning desire to damage
14:32
ignorance. They have a casual passive
14:35
replaceable desire. I think I am.
14:39
I don't like where I am, but I'm not sure is particularly.
14:43
I know I'm not that prayerful, but I'm not the only one who are
14:45
like that in our family. Once you get those kinds of
14:47
statements, once you still have excuses, your desires not strong
14:52
enough. I think it was Doctor Lumi de
14:54
Manuel, or so I heard. He was speaking, you know,
14:57
talking about some finance thing.
14:59
And he said that he met a young lady who came out for one of his
15:04
sessions, According to him just trying to pick a lesson from the
15:07
story. And she said she wanted to do
15:11
well, but that this thing they were teaching or so was not
15:14
working. And he looked at her.
15:16
He said your wife is not strong. He said I look at you, you are
15:19
trying to look for money and everything you are wearing is
15:22
already somebody's future is because you don't have a strong
15:25
why? You know what pursuits you
15:27
determines how you run. If it's a family, you can wave
15:31
your hands while you distract yourself.
15:33
But when you hear the roar of a lion, you you run with with the
15:37
might of a warrior. There are people running because
15:40
of the awareness of the consequences.
15:43
I know where I'm coming from. I know what it means if I don't
15:45
pray. I know what it means if I don't
15:47
fast. I know the temptations that
15:49
destroyed those who went ahead of me.
15:51
Once you have a burning desire, are we together?
15:54
That you were given the option to be a priest unto the devil,
15:57
and you run from there. And so you know that this one is
16:00
either I serve God or I serve the devil.
16:02
Either way, one of them wants me.
16:05
And since I ran away from one, I better plunge myself into the
16:08
things of God. No wonder when people repent,
16:11
particularly from other religions, into the Christian
16:14
faith, you find out that they're zeal.
16:16
They are favored because they know what they left behind.
16:19
I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, that God will open
16:22
your eyes to see the destinies connected to you.
16:25
That God will open up your eyes to see the lives that are
16:28
connected to your obedience. That you're saying yes means the
16:33
arrival of many people in their place of destiny.
16:36
And whatever stagnates you, I decree and declare me give way.
16:39
Now everybody say burning desire.
16:44
It's a burning desire that drives you to pray until you
16:47
breakthrough. It's a burning desire that makes
16:50
you buy books instead of clothes.
16:52
The clothes can't wait. Let me dress my mind before my
16:55
body. My body should not look finer
16:57
than my mind, because my mind will strip my body of what it's
17:00
wearing. Now.
17:05
Hallelujah #2 the second price that you have to pay if you want
17:14
to accept, if you want to rise to an enviable place in life and
17:19
destiny, is the price of transformation.
17:23
The price of transformation Contending for superior belief
17:28
systems. The prize for transformation I
17:32
cannot say this enough. The prize for transformation,
17:36
One of the greatest investment you can make in your life,
17:39
second only to your relationship with Jesus Christ, is an
17:43
investment to host a superior belief system.
17:47
An investment to host a superior belief system.
17:56
There is what we call a winner's mentality and there is what we
18:00
call a losers mentality. Hallelujah.
18:04
When people win, there is a mindset called a winner.
18:08
There is a mindset called a loser.
18:11
There is a mindset called an unbeliever.
18:13
There is a mindset called a vibrant Christian.
18:16
There is a mindset called an illiterate.
18:19
There is a mindset called a professor.
18:21
There is a mindset called a mediocre.
18:24
There is a mindset called a champion.
18:26
It's just that the bearers of the mindset are those.
18:29
We credit those names too, but what really qualifies them is
18:33
the mindset. When you call someone a thief,
18:35
you are naming a kind of mindset.
18:37
When you call someone diligent, you are naming a kind of
18:41
mindset. When you call someone vibrant
18:43
spiritually, you are naming a kind of mindset.
18:46
When you say someone is disciplined, you're not just
18:49
describing a personality, you are tagging a person to a
18:54
mindset. Laziness is a mindset.
18:57
Discipline is a mindset. Spiritual vibrance is a mindset.
19:01
Are we together? Laxity spiritually is a mindset.
19:05
I'm saying it again, that second only to your relationship with
19:09
Jesus, the greatest investment I know that you can make is
19:13
evolving yourself through knowledge to the most superior
19:17
version of you at any point in your destiny.
19:20
Now listen to this. The version of you that receives
19:23
your assignment is not the version that can fulfill it.
19:27
Impossible. There are two versions there at
19:29
least. Just because the version of you
19:32
was developed enough to receive the assignment does not mean it
19:36
to fulfill it. There needs to be that
19:40
intellectual evolution, spiritual evolution.
19:45
You have to change mold. I call it into a more superior
19:49
version, a stronger version, more emotionally intelligent
19:54
version, more psychologically stable version.
20:00
Who is learning? Most believers do not know that
20:03
it is their responsibility to use the word of God and to
20:07
develop for the sake of their destiny what we call a winner's
20:11
mentality, A mentality that insists on the world till it
20:16
works. Now when I talk about superior
20:18
beliefs, I would always note this.
20:20
I'm not just talking about being more western.
20:23
Being Western does not mean. Being superior in your belief
20:27
system, being more technological does not mean being more
20:31
superior. You can still be a more
20:34
sophisticated, confused person. You can still be.
20:38
Are we together? Yes.
20:40
It's just that your own falsehood and confusion is more
20:42
technological. It's more relatable, but it's
20:46
still confusion. When I talk about a superior
20:49
belief system, I measure it with respect to the word compliancy
20:54
of your understanding, not just how Western you are.
20:57
You can leave the village and go to Europe and you in terms of
21:01
exposure, you may have improved, but in terms of your world view,
21:05
in terms of your understanding the loss of life, you are still
21:08
as weak as someone who never saw all light.
21:11
The winners mentality. There is a losers mentality, a
21:27
belief system based on lies, a belief system based on
21:30
deception, A belief system based on opinions.
21:34
I think I've taught it here that there are essentially about five
21:38
ways that mindsets are formed. Maybe I should do a one minute
21:42
recap on that very quickly. Number one, your background or
21:45
your history. The first way your mindset is
21:48
formed or framed is your background or your history, your
21:51
upbringing and every experience #2 the second way mindsets are
21:59
built is your culture. Your culture.
22:02
If you're Yoruba, there is a way you were trained to look at
22:05
life. If you're evil, there is a way
22:07
you were trained to look at life.
22:09
If you're house, there's a way you were trained to look at
22:12
life. You are an American and European
22:14
and Caribbean. There is a way culture shapes
22:17
you to look at life. And a part of it is wonderful,
22:20
great. Especially the part that has to
22:22
do with respect, moral excellence, etcetera.
22:25
But there are certain subtle but destructive ways.
22:29
Are we together that culture can shape and mold you to look at
22:33
life in a way that insists you always lose #3 mindsets are
22:39
formed from our past experiences.
22:42
You call it your past. Your past can do something to
22:46
you that does not allow you to be a winner all the time #4 very
22:52
quickly. Your level of exposure, your
22:54
mindset is predicated on your level of exposure at any given
22:59
time. To be exposed means that you are
23:01
aware of what else is there. You broaden your horizon beyond
23:06
your current scope. Exposure is powerful, especially
23:10
when it is a healthy exposure. Exposure you need to know what
23:16
else is there. You need to know who else is
23:19
there. You need to know what else God
23:22
is doing. Hallelujah is one of the
23:25
greatest blessings, in my opinion, of profitable travels.
23:29
It creates exposure, but thanks to technology, if you don't have
23:34
the privilege to travel, your mind can travel for you.
23:38
The Internet has given people access.
23:41
It's, it's, it's literally taking off the barrier.
23:44
You don't need a visa for your mind to travel.
23:46
Traveling to spaces and depths where you can learn things.
23:50
You may not be there physically, but your mind can travel.
23:53
And one thing I've learned, anywhere your mind gets to, it
23:57
will drag your body there eventually.
24:00
It's not the embassy that gives you a visa many times is your
24:04
mind. Let it go there and it will
24:07
break every barrier, including the sentiments of embassies and
24:11
whatever. In a very mysterious way.
24:13
It's a law. If your body's refusing to go
24:17
somewhere, leave it behind. Let your mind get there.
24:20
Once your mind gets there, it will drag your body inevitably
24:25
to get there. I tell you this, it's an
24:28
advantage if both of them go together.
24:31
But they seldom go together. Usually the mind will go and spy
24:34
the land and return back and tell the body, I've seen it.
24:37
Let's go. You can be in the state of
24:41
poverty, in the state of nothingness.
24:43
Let your mind go. Your mind will explore virgin
24:46
dimensions in destiny. The place of the great, the the
24:50
the place where no foul has gone to the webs of the lion has not
24:55
gotten there. It will come back and take your
24:58
body. I am telling you, it's difficult
25:01
to get where your mind has not gotten there first.
25:03
Your mind will be the first person to get there.
25:06
Then it will drag your body. I pray for you, every mentality,
25:10
every belief system. In fact, let me say this before
25:13
I finish the prayer. Your belief system is your
25:16
official contribution to your failing or succeeding in life,
25:21
not just what you do. What you believe is your
25:24
official contribution to your becoming a failure or you're
25:29
becoming a success. Meaning if you fail in life
25:32
perpetually, your contribution to that failure.
25:36
Yes, the devil may be there, Yes, parents may be there, but
25:39
your own contribution to your failing is offering your mindset
25:43
to be misused by the devil. If you succeed in life.
25:47
Yes is the grace of God, is the mercy of God.
25:50
But your contribution to your becoming, to your rising, to
25:54
your thriving, is the investment of a healthy belief system.
25:59
It is true. For as he thinketh in his heart,
26:03
see that as mighty as God is, a man can limit God in his life.
26:09
A man can limit God in his church.
26:12
A man can limit God in his business.
26:19
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
26:24
Jesus did not just win because He was the Son of God.
26:27
He won because he paid the price to invest in building a superior
26:31
belief system. When Satan came to him, he said
26:34
it is written. He didn't say I think he didn't
26:36
say. They say he didn't say what is
26:38
trending. He said it is written.
26:42
It is written is greater than I saw It is written is greater
26:46
than I heard. It is written is greater than
26:49
they said it is written is greater than this is what is
26:52
trending forever. Oh Lord, your world is settled.
26:56
Build your life around opinions and you watch it crumble when
26:59
civilizations change, But build it on the world.
27:02
The storms can come, the flood, the rain, and it will stand like
27:06
the house that is built on a rock.
27:08
Particularly to our graduates, let me lend my voice in one
27:11
minute to encourage you the things that you have learnt of
27:14
me among many witnesses. The first thing you do is to
27:17
invest so that it becomes a testimonial in your own life.
27:21
Then you now committed to faithful man who will committed
27:25
to others. Hallelujah your mindset.
27:30
Don't tell me what you believe, your mindset will tell me.
27:36
Don't say I believe in victory. No, allow your mindset do the
27:39
speaking. Eventually your mindset will
27:41
tell me if you believe in victory or otherwise.
27:44
If your confession betrays your reality perpetually, then I know
27:48
that something is wrong. There is a conflict between your
27:51
belief system. You see that now?
27:54
The price of a superior belief system.
27:57
The person you call Reverend Sam today doing what he's doing and
28:00
his dear wife is not just a man. There is a software that is
28:05
running this man. That software is what is
28:07
responsible for the results. Vision is a product of that
28:11
software. Consistency is a product of that
28:14
software. Are we together?
28:16
Have you called somebody and warned the person about a
28:18
particular lifestyle and whilst you are speaking, the person
28:21
becomes sober. He says truly say do you think
28:24
he's a good idea? No.
28:25
Will you do it again? He says no, by evening they are
28:27
calling you from the police station.
28:29
Say come and carry this boy. He's done it again because you
28:32
were talking to the person, not the mindset.
28:35
And if the mindset does not change, the body is a messless
28:39
errand person. The body just is an executor of
28:43
a belief system. When a man slaps his wife, don't
28:45
blame the hand. The hand only obeyed the
28:48
mindset, said slap her. When a man treats his wife well,
28:52
it's not just him, it's not the voice, it's the mindset.
28:55
We keep blaming our bodies, blaming this when when someone
28:59
acts foolishly, it's not the action.
29:01
The body is helplessly obedient to that driver that drives it.
29:06
Are we together? When you get up in the morning
29:11
and pray, it's not just your body willing to stand up.
29:14
There is a driver, there is a software.
29:16
You never change people until you change that software.
29:20
Once you have not worked on that software, change your clothes.
29:24
It's the same driver that will lead you to the mud dress.
29:26
A pig with gold, it will still get into the mud dress.
29:29
Are we together because there is a mindset?
29:34
Have you noticed you never see a dirty cat?
29:37
A cat with mud all over the body?
29:39
No, it's a mindset. Even when it is raining, you
29:43
will not find a muddy dirty cat. But there are other animals.
29:47
As soon as there's inconvenience, they look for
29:49
anything. Even if it's water and mud, they
29:52
roll around. It's their mindset.
29:56
I don't know how true this is what they say about an ostrich.
29:59
It's one of the fastest birds on land that runs.
30:02
But there's something about the brain of an ostrich.
30:04
I'm told that when it shooks his head, it believes he's hidden
30:08
from you. So when you have looked, when
30:11
you are trying to chase, once it can hide the head, look at how
30:15
tall the ostrich is, but once it hides the head, it believes that
30:19
you can't see it again. Mindsets, a man that I respect
30:31
so much. Great voice.
30:33
Late now in the personal development industry.
30:35
He gave a story and let me use that to move away from this
30:38
point. He said a gentleman was getting
30:40
into a new territory and when he stepped into the city, he saw a
30:45
farmer who was plowing his land. And he said, my good friend, I
30:48
have a question for you. And the man said, I'm listening.
30:50
He said, I hear that in this land they are cruel people.
30:53
They are armed robbers. They steal.
30:55
They, you know, they do all kinds of bad things in this
30:58
land. And the farmer looked at him,
31:00
took a deep breath and said, you are right.
31:03
And the man moved in a few hours later, still at his farm, a
31:07
young man, very vibrant, bright eyes, very prospective, came
31:11
happy. And he said, my young farmer, I
31:13
have a question for you. He said, I'm listening.
31:14
He said, I hear that in this land there are lovely people,
31:17
there are churches thriving, I mean great businesses that
31:21
things happen in this land. And the farmer took a deep
31:23
breath and said, you are right. Either ways, he said, you are
31:27
right. Whatever your mindset is looking
31:29
for, you will find it. If your world is full of chaos
31:33
and anarchy, you are right. If your world is full of victory
31:36
and order, you are right. You will still find it within
31:39
the system. It's my responsibility to train
31:42
my mind on what to find. When I enter a land, I find God.
31:46
When I enter a land, I find relationships.
31:49
When I enter a land, I find opportunities.
31:52
I don't go around looking for the devil.
31:53
No, I don't go around looking for failure.
31:55
You will find it. When I enter a church, I look
31:58
for peace, not conflict. If you look for conflict, you
32:00
will find it. Isn't it amazing that there are
32:02
people, once they enter a place, they gravitate to a group.
32:06
They don't know what moves them there.
32:07
They step into a church and immediately they join the
32:10
troublemakers. They don't know why.
32:12
It's a mindset. Something about your disposition
32:15
fights peace. It is comfortable only when
32:18
there is conflict. So when you go where they are
32:21
praying, say no, no, something must be wrong in this church.
32:23
And someone said, you know, deep calls on to deep.
32:28
It's true, that's true. The same way now you are in this
32:32
place, this Warimpa area, look at me, how many of you know you
32:36
now? You may not even tell me where
32:38
they sell, God forbid, but you cannot tell me anywhere they
32:42
sell drugs or they sell whatever in this place because your
32:45
mindset cannot attract you there.
32:47
But let a bad boy now not to. Are we together?
32:51
Let someone who drinks or smokes travel in from another nation
32:55
and arrive Abuja within five hours what?
32:58
One hour, he would have found that place.
33:02
You've been here for decades. You don't know where it is.
33:10
Are we together? He will never.
33:12
With all the churches around, he will see a church, but he will
33:17
look at someone and his spirit will drive him there.
33:20
You say, my friend, you know where it's at.
33:23
OK. That's why I know.
33:24
And and before you know it, he's there.
33:36
This is the intellectual GPS system of your destiny.
33:41
If you find yourself in a wrong location, don't blame your legs.
33:45
It's only obeyed. The mindset took it there.
33:50
Lay your hands on your head in one minute and say, Father, in
33:53
the name of Jesus, I contend for his superior belief system.
33:59
Someone is praying, particularly on a day like this, I contend.
34:07
I contend. Shamanako, Sabrandige Lecotia, I
34:11
contend for his superior belief system.
34:18
In Jesus name I pray, please be seated.
34:23
Please take this one seriously. Take this one very seriously.
34:28
Belief systems. There is a mindset that can
34:33
pastor a congregation of 100 and stop there.
34:36
No matter how you pray and fast, even if you've seen your visions
34:40
that you're leading a great ministry like this.
34:43
That mindset, you see, let me tell you this.
34:45
When you try to get results that are inconsistent with your
34:48
mindset, right? There is a principle.
34:52
And, and this is a principle in psychology, it's called the
34:55
principle of cybernetics. It's the same principle that an
34:58
airplane uses to remain in its trajectory.
35:01
Those of you who are pilots or cumbersome with everything
35:04
aviation. So when a plane is moving from
35:08
where it is to its final destination, are we together?
35:11
When it's locked in, there is a trajectory it must follow.
35:14
Now, occasionally it will delve. When it moves beyond a certain
35:18
angle, the principle of cybernetics will kick in and
35:22
return it back to its 'cause that's how your mindset is.
35:25
So there is a mentality you have and there is a rule in your
35:29
life. Don't rise beyond 10 million.
35:32
The day 50 million kicks in is a law God created.
35:35
Your mindset will send a bit to your destiny that an error has
35:39
happened to this man. He has possessed a reality
35:42
greater than his mindset. It will alter your behavior to
35:46
start behaving in a way that brings depletion until you get
35:50
back to the amount consistent with your belief.
35:53
Then your body now says normal. That's why there are people.
35:58
Promotion is useless to them because their mindset does not
36:02
interpret that they've been promoted.
36:05
They complain and says the economy double their money.
36:08
Something will still happen to them.
36:11
It will appear like a series of coincidences, but there is an
36:15
exact spiritual law that governs it.
36:22
Reverend Sam, take your shirts that you've been using for
36:25
years. I always give this example now
36:27
not to insult them, but find some of these boys running
36:30
around. A white shirt you wore for three
36:32
years and you never even saw the difference.
36:35
It still looks new. Give those boys and come back by
36:39
next week. You will see their mindset on
36:41
that shirt. Immediately the shirt begins to
36:45
fade. It begins to tear.
36:47
What do you think tore the shirt?
36:48
It's not carelessness. The shirt began to assume the
36:51
state of their mindset. This is a research that has been
36:54
done. I'm not just speaking.
37:05
To be educated is part of the process of transformation, but
37:10
it is not transformation. You can be educated, meaning you
37:15
have stored useful information in your mind to be educated.
37:18
It's like buying rice and dropping it in your house as a
37:21
bag of rice. It doesn't mean you will be fed,
37:24
it's only that the potential to be fed is now within your
37:27
domain. If you don't open the rice and
37:29
know how to combine it, you can have 10 bags of rice.
37:33
Call it your degree, call it your masters.
37:36
And I'm not insulting it. I'm put it there and still be
37:38
dying of poverty. And when you are long there,
37:40
they find a lot of rice in your house.
37:46
Who is learning? The real miracle is not
37:50
deliverance from demons. The real miracle is deliverance
37:54
from thoughts and belief systems.
37:57
With one word, you can cast out a demon spirit and it leaves.
38:01
But you cannot cast out ignorance.
38:03
You must invest it because ignorance is not a demon.
38:07
You don't cast it out with one pronouncement.
38:09
You invest a replacement and editing.
38:12
Oh yes, a replacement. It would take a replacement,
38:15
Sir. It would take a replacement.
38:19
The Bible says about the law of replacement that you never are
38:23
able to gain dominion in a place until you overcome the current
38:27
force that is there. It says when a man greater than
38:30
he, when a thought greater than he, if failure is the king of
38:35
your mindset, it will occupy your space and your universe.
38:38
But when another thought, more word compliant, more superior,
38:43
more destiny defining as it arrives, there is warfare, a
38:47
warfare of thoughts. Let me tell you this.
38:50
Getting transformation is real warfare.
38:53
You are fighting against ancient thoughts.
38:55
The thoughts that made your father a failure transferred
38:58
sincerely to you. The thoughts that made your
39:00
mother a failure, The thoughts that made Perry trees failures.
39:04
Let me tell you this, it is very easy for demon spirits to hold a
39:12
territory sway. They don't hold it by attacking
39:15
everybody one by one. They hold it by creating a
39:18
mindset and selling that mindset like a software to everybody,
39:22
then assigning spirits to become protectors of that mindset.
39:26
That's what is called a stronghold.
39:28
A stronghold is a faulty belief system that has demon spirits
39:32
protecting it to keep the victim perpetually thinking that way.
39:43
Is somebody learning? Yes, Sir.
39:47
If this is all you get today, wishing for a great tomorrow,
39:55
every high thing must come down. Every stronghold shall be
40:00
broken. You wear the Vita's crown.
40:04
You overcome. You overcome.
40:07
Every high thing must come down. Every stronghold shall be
40:12
broken. You wear the fictest crown.
40:16
You overcome. Every I think, must come down.
40:22
Every stronghold shall be broken.
40:25
We wear the fictest crown. Please sit down, Sit down.
40:31
I have to finish my session. Mindsets #3 The third prize.
40:39
The next time people tell you you are really lucky, open your
40:42
notebook and say sit down. Let me show you how luck works.
40:46
That I was here advance and I learned the keys.
40:48
I want to show you how lucky I am.
40:50
Lucky to be attentive. Lucky to listen cry but
40:54
listening. Tired but listening.
40:57
And these are the keys that spell my definition of luck.
41:04
Yes, Sir, you have a fit to screw you overcome.
41:12
Let me give you #3 what is the third price to accent, to
41:17
explore new territories, to rise to greater dimensions, The price
41:23
of building and attracting strategic relationships.
41:30
The price for building and attracting.
41:37
Please underline those two words.
41:39
I use my words very carefully. Building and attracting
41:43
strategic relationships. Now, generally speaking, when we
41:49
teach on relationships as a concept, there are three levels.
41:56
Your relationship with God, your relationship with men, and your
42:01
relationship with things. Let me say that again, your
42:05
relationship with God, your relationship with men, and your
42:10
relationship with things. You have to learn relationship
42:13
at these 3 levels. Most times people only focus on
42:17
relationship at the level of men.
42:19
No, you need to know how to relate with God for your
42:22
victory. You need to know how to relate
42:26
with men and you need to know how to relate with things.
42:29
You can know how to relate with men efficiently but not know how
42:34
to relate with things. Did you ever read about a man in
42:37
the Bible called a rich fool? He did not know how to relate
42:40
with things. The Bible says love not the
42:46
word, neither the things. So the things also matter to
42:51
God. There is a way you can love the
42:54
things of this world is from the word errors, where you get the
42:58
word lost, an ungodly and unhealthy affinity, an
43:05
attachment that is destructive towards things.
43:09
You must know how to relate with money.
43:11
You must know how to relate with material possessions in a way
43:14
that they don't own you. This thing comes by training.
43:21
Hallelujah. But let me say this, ladies and
43:24
gentlemen, the truth of the matter is that the word be
43:29
fruitful also means be relational because both biology
43:34
and spirituality teaches us that fruitfulness at any level is a
43:39
product of relationships. Look at this.
43:43
A dot cannot become a line because it is one point.
43:47
But once you put another dot, you can now draw a line.
43:52
A line is defined. Watch this as two connecting
43:56
dots, at least two. Am I right on that?
43:58
You cannot draw a line. Mathematics, geometry.
44:02
You cannot draw a line with a dot.
44:04
It remains alone. But once you add another dot,
44:08
now there comes a point. Regardless of circumference, you
44:11
can draw a straight line. Your destiny as is at the mercy
44:17
of the relationships that found it.
44:22
Your destiny is as expensive as the bankruptcy of your
44:26
relationships. If you do not have strategic
44:30
relationships, your destiny might become so expensive you
44:34
may not be able to afford it. It's true.
44:38
Let me say one or two very quickly about relationships.
44:41
Please someone put a timer for me or let me just know what time
44:44
I have so that I don't stretch us.
44:46
I want to make sure I work with the time there's a lot
44:48
happening. Or at least just give me an
44:50
idea. There is what we call blessed by
44:54
association. I preached that message many
44:58
years ago that a man can be blessed by association.
45:02
Say that after me, blessed by association.
45:05
One more time, the Bible says God called Abraham.
45:11
He never said God called Lords, but he makes a profound
45:15
statement. He said and Lord went with him,
45:20
and Lord went with him. That was it.
45:24
And Lot went with him. And the ignorant man followed a
45:31
wise man. Lot went with him.
45:34
Someone learned, OK, I can see it now, thank you.
45:37
Praise God, and Lot went with him.
45:42
Relationships are very powerful. I define relationships as
45:46
advantageous connections that are profitable to all the
45:51
parties involved. Advantageous connections.
45:55
It has to be advantageous. If it's a connection that is
45:59
disadvantageous, it's not considered a relationship.
46:03
It can be considered a threat. If an armed robber joins himself
46:07
to you with a gun, that's not a relationship, that's a threat.
46:10
So it must be an advantageous connection that is profitable to
46:15
all the parties that are involved.
46:17
Now, let me tell you a few things I've learned about
46:19
relationship very quickly. My time is up.
46:21
Relationships are bridges. Look up, please.
46:24
Particularly for our dear students.
46:25
Please hear me. Relationships are bridges.
46:28
They lead you from where you are to a place of decline or from
46:33
where you are to the place of destiny.
46:36
If you find someone lives where he or she is to a better place
46:40
in life and destiny, the bridge that took them there is called a
46:44
relationship. If you find someone decline
46:47
spiritually, morally, financially, I can tell you a
46:51
relationship help make that happen.
46:53
Remember the story of the prodigal son.
46:55
He never spent the money alone. There were advisors who were
46:58
initiating his rebellion. He did not just go on his own to
47:01
say, my father, they aren't friends.
47:03
The Bible says those guys were nameless, but they were they the
47:06
effect was on him. He told the father, look, I'm of
47:09
age and the father said, have you?
47:11
Yes, I've considered it. Give me my.
47:14
The Bible says as soon as the guy collected that thing, those
47:17
guys were there. They helped him to spend it
47:20
riotously. And when they did.
47:23
You can use the prodigal son's template to know why your
47:26
finances is depleting. Find out what he did with his
47:29
money and don't do it because he had the money.
47:37
And then he began to do certain things with friends and
47:41
depletion started until he became like, you know, a
47:45
summoned feeding swine. And, you know, the Bible tells
47:49
us, or well, the Bible does not tell us what we can see there,
47:53
that none of the friends were there when he was feeding with
47:56
the swine. Do you know where they left?
47:58
Can you guess where they went to the next person after they left
48:05
him? There was a day they said it
48:06
looks like this man has is furnished.
48:08
There's no money again. Let's let's let's start.
48:12
Those who help destroy you don't intend to destroy you alone.
48:17
There are many other people in the list.
48:19
You are just their focus for now.
48:21
So as they flatter you, don't get carried away.
48:24
The same thing they're telling you.
48:25
They're telling 10 other people relationships.
48:35
I think I said it in this church one time, that relationships are
48:39
a stream of income. The next time you are writing
48:42
your stream of income, real estate, right relationships.
48:47
And don't laugh at yourself while you do that.
48:50
The easiest way to succeed is to join a chariot of wise people.
48:55
Even if you don't know where you are going, the Chariot can help
48:58
you get there while you figure out where you are going.
49:01
There are people today whose financial level is not a
49:04
reflection of their transformation is the leverage
49:07
of the relationships they were part of Yesterday.
49:12
One of our dear ladies who gave birth overseas, they sent me the
49:16
Canadian passport of the little baby and I was thinking to
49:21
myself, I said look at there was a baby who was born the same
49:24
day. The exact I don't, I'm not bad.
49:28
I don't feel bad. Don't feel bad.
49:30
Be happy about yourself and your baby.
49:32
And I'm just giving you an illustration.
49:34
Born the same day already one was born.
49:41
We call it a leverage from the word lever.
49:45
It's an advantage. I'm praying for you.
49:52
May your life be a leverage to others.
49:57
Say Amen that someone can say I'm I seem to be a failure in
50:03
lie. But since I joined myself to
50:06
you, there are doors, doors you. You become a door that can open
50:11
up the destinies of many. Many of you have immersed
50:15
yourself in this program, now learning Only God can tell the
50:19
things you have learned and the quality of decisions you see.
50:22
The justification of wisdom is the superiority of decisions
50:27
that come from the standpoint of wisdom.
50:30
I know you have learned by the quality of the decisions you
50:33
will now take because decisions define destiny.
50:38
The value of wisdom is that it helps to inform your decision,
50:42
to improve your decision making ability so that you make wiser
50:48
destiny defining decisions. If wisdom does not translate
50:52
into a more superior decision making process, then you did not
50:55
learn. The real profit of wisdom is in
50:58
its ability to upgrade your capacity to make decisions.
51:05
Please be seated. Let me wrap up relationships.
51:09
Let me charge everybody here. If you say you don't have a
51:14
friend, thank God you are in a ministry that has the grace over
51:20
relationships and I'm not just let me tell you this, if your
51:24
only relationship is marriage relationship, you're in trouble.
51:28
Now I don't talk so much about marriage and all of that.
51:33
Now everybody abiding is calling.
51:35
You don't find me there. But let me tell you this, a time
51:37
will come when I will talk about it.
51:39
But I can tell you now listen, listen.
51:43
But I will tell you this much, I will tell you this much.
51:48
If the only relationship you have in your life is a marital
51:51
relationship, get ready to cry many tears in your life because
51:58
marriage was not designed to solve all emotional problems.
52:03
Are we together? There are certain levels of
52:07
emotional comfort that should come from your relationship with
52:10
Jesus. Only Jesus can give you that
52:13
level of comfort. There is a certain level of
52:17
comfort that comes from finding purpose.
52:20
There's a certain level of comfort that comes from growth.
52:24
Then there is a certain level of comfort that comes from your
52:27
spouse. If you leave Jesus leave purpose
52:30
are now expect your spouse to fulfill all the emotional needs
52:36
that only Jesus will bring that purpose will bring you overwhelm
52:40
the person because the assignment your husband or your
52:43
wife was not supposed to take the place of Jesus purpose
52:47
destiny. Marriage does not solve all
52:50
emotional problems and if you fail in every other area then
52:54
use marriage as a healing process and you now dump every
52:58
emotional need of marriage. It will never be enough no
53:01
matter how yielded your spouse is.
53:04
For more details make make reference to reverence some
53:08
stitches. Hallelujah.
53:11
But let me tell you this, take me serious when I say you must.
53:16
There has to be someone who likes you and it is your
53:20
assignment to have a profitable relationship in your life, not
53:26
marital relationship alone, destiny relationships.
53:29
Even Satan has men who believe in him.
53:32
So you cannot say everybody hates me.
53:34
There are people who believe in the devil.
53:36
There are people who believe in Jesus is someone learning now I
53:40
pray for you in the name that is above all names, the
53:43
relationships needed for the next level of your life.
53:46
May God connect you strategically.
53:48
Who is receiving it as a as a prophetic word?
53:51
The relationships that are needed for this next level of
53:55
your life. In the name that is above all
53:58
names, I release grace upon you. May you find those
54:01
relationships. Please be seated.
54:06
Please be seated. Everything in life advances on
54:11
the basis of relationship. Can I give you #4 the 4th key,
54:17
which double S as the fourth prize If you want to ascend,
54:21
advance, make progress in life, is the price of spiritual
54:26
warfare the price of spiritual warfare, The price of spiritual
54:34
warfare. 1st Corinthians 16 and verse 9 for a great door and an
54:40
effectual is opened before me, and there are many adversaries.
54:47
A great door with every great door a door talks of
54:50
opportunities. Are we together a new season?
54:54
The Bible says a great door and an effectual is open before me
54:59
and there are many adversaries. Ladies and gentlemen, there are
55:03
giants on every mountain. There is no mountain that is
55:07
void of giants. The fact that there are giants
55:10
there does not mean it is not your possession.
55:12
You have to learn how to arise and fight.
55:16
You fight to displace the giants before you enjoy the milk and
55:20
the honey that is in the land. In Luke chapter 8 from verse 22
55:28
to 28, the Bible says while Jesus deciding to go to the
55:33
other side, there arose a great storm of wind.
55:37
Remember, as a launch fault, there was a great storm of wind,
55:42
but the presence of the storm did not mean they were in the
55:44
wrong direction. It's one thing you have to
55:47
learn. It's one thing you have to
55:49
discover that the presence of storms does not mean you are
55:54
wrong or in the wrong direction. In fact, in many regards, I must
55:58
tell you, the presence of storms sometimes mean that you are in
56:03
the right direction. And when there is excessive
56:07
quiet, it may. I mean it's because you are not
56:09
going anywhere. The reason why the storm arose
56:14
was because they were going forward.
56:17
The presence of storms does not mean you are wrong.
56:21
It doesn't mean the decision is wrong.
56:24
Sometimes adversaries and storms confirm that you are in the
56:28
right direction and so you fight.
56:30
Someone shall fight. No, this is not a warrior's
56:33
voice. They fight.
56:35
Fight in the name of Jesus Christ, the price of spiritual
56:41
warfare. You need to fight or you need to
56:44
fight. There is a fight of faith to
56:47
breakthrough. There is a fight of faith
56:50
contending against limiting thoughts, contending against
56:54
territorial spirits. I remember those days in Zarya.
57:01
I found out, I was told, but later I found out to be true,
57:05
that ministries don't start and last more than three years.
57:09
Something must happen to that man of God and bring you down,
57:13
no matter what it is, no matter how sincere.
57:16
And people will give names and say so, so and so person, look
57:19
at what happened. So, so, so, and so person look
57:22
at what happened. And knowing that already
57:24
prepared me. Because you prepare for battles
57:28
when there is peace, not when there is trouble.
57:32
When there is trouble, you cannot go to the market and buy
57:34
what you need. You prepare when there is peace.
57:39
And I made-up my mind. I said, well, I don't know how
57:41
it doesn't work for others, but in the name of Jesus, I will
57:44
fight every fight. Let me encourage anybody here.
57:47
You may have heard it say to my people, fight your battles with
57:51
honor. Never be ashamed of your battle.
57:55
Let others laugh while you fight.
57:57
Fight it with honor. What trap down your father?
58:01
What trap down your mother? What trap down people there or
58:05
apostle? Marriages don't work.
58:06
Fight. Ministry doesn't work.
58:09
Fight. Spiritual life doesn't work.
58:12
Fight. And while you are fighting,
58:14
don't mind the naysayers. Can I tell you the truth?
58:17
Most of those who are mocking you are also admiring you.
58:20
They are admiring your stamina. They are admiring what you are
58:24
doing that they are unable to do.
58:29
Fight, fight. Apostle, there is a spirit in
58:33
our family that that is a spirit of infertility.
58:36
Please fight Sir. Fight Sir.
58:39
Don't transfer the same thing. Let it end with you.
58:43
I made-up my mind and I pray the prayer said Lord, every battle I
58:47
inherited in the name of Jesus grant me grace to fight and
58:52
establish that victory in my life and in my lifetime.
58:58
I don't have time being ashamed of my battles.
59:01
I fight. I don't have the energy to
59:03
explain my battles I'm busy fighting.
59:07
Don't ask me to explain my battles I'm fighting wait for
59:10
the victory. There will always be a story.
59:12
Imagine if Jesus had to explain to everybody and now just to let
59:15
you know that on my I'm on my way to gold got her and don't
59:19
think that I'm a Sinner just to let you know look, it's a long
59:22
story. I can't start explaining it.
59:24
I know that it's sinners that carry the crossword.
59:27
I I want to tell you that I'm innocent.
59:28
You can see Jesus would not have died.
59:32
He set his face like a Flint. Believe all you can believe.
59:35
My results will explain it later.
59:38
To explain it later is someone learning that pressure to always
59:44
want to explain yourself is why you fail.
59:48
Oh, I know you're about to hear something about me, but let me
59:51
just say before it arrives, it's not me.
59:55
Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, victors are too busy.
59:59
Have you seen people running and racing marathon?
1:00:01
And somebody said, why are you #4 or five?
1:00:03
And he said, well, OK, let me stop for a moment.
1:00:05
Listen, this thing is tiring. No, they keep their faces like a
1:00:09
Flint when they win. You find mics all around and
1:00:13
they say, how did you do it then?
1:00:15
They now tell you the story. You don't explain your story on
1:00:18
the journey. You explain your story when you
1:00:21
win. We live in a generation that is
1:00:29
so emotionally fragile. The pressure to explain yourself
1:00:33
to everybody. Don't get me wrong, there are
1:00:35
stakeholders in your life who deserve to take inventory of
1:00:39
your progress, but not everybody says stakeholder.
1:00:42
You are accountable to the stakeholders in your life and no
1:00:45
one else. Some stranger just get up and
1:00:49
say I don't like the way you are looking at your wife.
1:00:52
Explain to me what is your business?
1:00:56
I notice you just added a fourth car.
1:00:58
I demand an explanation as to why you bought a white car.
1:01:02
Carry your trouble and take it far from me.
1:01:04
I pray for you be delivered from the pressure to explain yourself
1:01:09
to everybody. Can I tell you this in life and
1:01:15
destiny, be guided by three things.
1:01:17
One, the fear of the Lord #2 conscience #3 posterity.
1:01:23
Once you are guided by this, fire your life on all four
1:01:26
cylinders, The fear of the Lord, conscience, posterity.
1:01:38
But there's, there's a warfare dimension to life, my brothers
1:01:41
and my sisters, there is a fight of faith.
1:01:43
Ask Reverend Sam, he will tell you at every level.
1:01:47
Next time you hear God saying there is a door that is open,
1:01:52
don't just wear a nice cloth. Get a warrior's armor.
1:01:55
Because as soon as you open that door, the first thing you will
1:01:59
meet is not milk and honey. The first thing you will meet
1:02:02
are giants. Bring them down.
1:02:04
Then you can eat off the milk and honey.
1:02:07
I pray for you, the grace of a warrior.
1:02:11
Some of you need to return back to the place of prayer because
1:02:14
you are in a prophetic season. You war with messages like this.
1:02:18
You don't just rejoice, you war with them.
1:02:21
That Satan has seen that a great door and an effectual is about
1:02:25
to be open for you, for your wife, for your children.
1:02:28
He will fight. He will use anything, sickness,
1:02:31
wrong relationships. It's your assignment to fight.
1:02:35
Someone say I will fight, say in the name of Jesus, I obtain
1:02:39
grace to fight. Let me give you #5 and then I
1:02:43
wrap up warfare, warfare, warfare.
1:02:53
Do you know there was a time true story someone received?
1:02:58
I think they are, they are late. That's gratuity and everything.
1:03:01
You know, together with investments and all of that, it
1:03:04
added up to about 100 million and until then the family had
1:03:08
never. That was a miracle of miracles
1:03:10
100 million just like that, guess what began to happen.
1:03:14
People started rising from anywhere, one on coup that they
1:03:18
are not met since they were small.
1:03:19
Now say keep that money there, I'm coming, we need to talk.
1:03:22
Another person got up, conflict started happening among siblings
1:03:26
and then when they reached me I told them.
1:03:28
I said if you think it's a non cool problem or it's a sibling
1:03:32
problem, then you don't have enough spiritual intelligence.
1:03:35
The devil wants to join your head because in confusion you
1:03:38
will prevail, you will waste that money and then peace will
1:03:41
return. All of you get on your knees and
1:03:43
fight. Just when God is opening a door,
1:03:47
a husband and a wife begin to fight unnecessarily,
1:03:52
unreasonably over matters, petty matters, digging up issues that
1:03:57
I can tell you it's not a marriage issue.
1:04:00
There is a reaction in the spirit that a door is about to
1:04:03
open and the unity of the couple is needed, needed for that
1:04:07
breakthrough. And you find how many of you
1:04:10
have invested in the place of prayer and you find out people
1:04:13
are just annoying you trying. The devil is trying to trigger
1:04:16
something. He wants to waste that prayer
1:04:19
moment because you are receiving something mighty.
1:04:22
And once you abort that process, the antagonisms would die down.
1:04:26
Learn how he walks. There are many contentions that
1:04:32
are not about the human actors. Is a reaction from the spirit.
1:04:37
A mantle is coming, a grace is coming.
1:04:39
A door is opening, a dimension is opening up, and the devil
1:04:44
begins to trigger everything that can allow demons access to
1:04:47
your life. Anger, pain.
1:04:49
You begin to get gaslighted by everybody.
1:04:52
Your boss becomes petty and sarcastic.
1:04:55
Your spouse becomes petty and sarcastic.
1:04:57
It's not a spouse problem. It's not a children's problem.
1:05:01
I'm telling you, it's a reaction from the realm of the spirit
1:05:04
fighting you, and you must fight back.
1:05:12
Warfare #5 the prophetic advantage, the prophetic
1:05:19
advantage, You want to ascend, you want to go forward, you need
1:05:25
the prophetic. Exodus 141415, Exodus 14 and
1:05:31
verse 14. The broader way of looking at
1:05:35
this really is the ministry of the Holy Ghost and there are
1:05:39
many aspects to it, but I would select the prophetic dimension
1:05:44
just to wrap up my discourse this morning.
1:05:47
Exodus 1414 The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your
1:05:51
peace. Verse 15 And the Lord said unto
1:05:57
Moses, Wherefore Christ, thou unto me he said, speak.
1:06:03
What did he said to do so? You can speak to go forward, not
1:06:10
just move to go forward. There is a dimension of going
1:06:15
forward that is speaking dependent.
1:06:18
It says speak that they go forward.
1:06:21
Speak that the door opens. Speak that the relationships
1:06:26
come, speak that they go forward.
1:06:29
Someone say I speak to my destiny, be open.
1:06:35
Say I speak to my destiny. Open up.
1:06:39
I speak to my life. Go higher.
1:06:44
Go forward, advance. Make progress.
1:06:48
Say I speak that I am the head and not the tail.
1:06:52
Say I speak that I am above and not beneath.
1:06:56
Say I speak that 2026 is a great year.
1:07:01
Say I speak that I ascend. Say I speak that I'm victorious.
1:07:06
Now shout. Speak.
1:07:13
Listen, listen. There is a prophetic dimension.
1:07:18
Let me wrap up with this. There is a prophetic dimension
1:07:23
to be victorious. For every prayer that will be
1:07:26
prayed here today, ladies and gentlemen, obtain the grace to
1:07:30
pray it and for the rest of your life.
1:07:34
Know that when it has to do with advancement and ascendance, you
1:07:38
use your mind, you use your feet, but you also use your
1:07:43
words. Learn to speak.
1:07:47
Speak when it is comfortable. Speak when it is uncomfortable.
1:07:51
Speak when doors are closed. Speak when doors are open.
1:07:56
Speak when you are alone. Speak when you are in the midst
1:07:59
of people. Speak when you are laughing.
1:08:02
Speak when you are crying. Speak when there is peace.
1:08:05
Speak when there is war. The secret to your advancement,
1:08:10
never ending advancement. Among these things that I've
1:08:13
taught you is to speak. May God bless you, May God
1:08:17
increase you. In Jesus March name we pray.
