Helped By God [Part 2] · Apostle Joshua Selman

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Is it all right if we take five minutes to
• 0:03
  pray the spirit? Do you love to pray? Means when
• 0:09
  we pray, it is not a religious ritual. We are
• 0:13
  giving the Holy Spirit room to find expression through our spirits,
• 0:19
  through our minds, so that we can hear him, so
• 0:23
  that we can align to what He wants us to do.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The primary assignment of.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Prayer, in my opinion, is found in Luke, chapter nine
• 0:32
  and verse twenty nine.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and as he.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Prayed the heap in Jesus, he says, the fashion of
• 0:41
  his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glissery.
• 0:47
  That means, when we pray, there is a transformation that
• 0:52
  happens within us. Hallelujah. Prayer affords you the opportunity and
• 0:57
  provides the potential for growth, spiritual growth, a heightened level
• 1:03
  of sensitivity, growth in your discernment. So as you pray
• 1:08
  the Spirit, see it as part of the meeting. We
• 1:11
  are leaders. You speak a parable to the end that
• 1:14
  men ought always to pray and not to faith.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Low, low, low, like a mighty wind. Spirit a victim me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Cover as with your wings, will you blow low low
• 1:40
  like a mighty wing? Spirit a victo we.

  Speaker 9: In Jesus' name, we pray. In Jesus' name, we pray.
• 9:20
  There are two people.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: The power of God is coming on them right now
• 9:23
  because I speak and.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: For that person.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: The prophetic word for you is it's a new season.
• 9:36
  You are stepping into a very defining moment in your
• 9:41
  spiritual experience. Tonight is a miracle service, but it's very important.
• 9:49
  You are a leader for someone. God is saying, I
• 9:52
  should tell you. Return back to the place of the altar.
• 9:55
  Return back to the place of the altar. You have
• 9:59
  left your secret. The Lord is bringing you a word.
• 10:02
  Your victory was because of the power and the strength
• 10:05
  of your altar. Avoid distraction. You will not get it.
• 10:09
  That way, God is speaking to someone. Return back to
• 10:12
  the place of the altar. Slakatosa practice Kitty. Return back
• 10:22
  to the place of the altar. Return back to the
• 10:25
  place of the altar. Caut away distractions in your life.
• 10:29
  Your life is too busy and you are not achieving anything.
• 10:33
  Return back to the place of the altar. One encounter
• 10:38
  with the God of the Bible in the place of
• 10:39
  the altar can define the next ten to twenty years
• 10:43
  of your life. In Jesus' name, way, pray, please be seated.
• 10:52
  Let's see how far God is able to help us
• 10:55
  this morning. I want you to be very sensitive because
• 11:03
  when we are in the presence of God like this,
• 11:07
  the Holy Spirit is also doing things in the life
• 11:10
  of people. While the world of God is coming. Is
• 11:13
  more than a lecture you are receiving. The ministry of
• 11:17
  the Spirit is the kind of ministry where the influence
• 11:24
  of the Holy Spirit comes upon the words and the
• 11:27
  speakings of God's people. This is a difference between just
• 11:31
  a male communication or electure and the ministry of the
• 11:35
  Spirit talking to leaders, So expect a lot of importations
• 11:40
  while we speak. Allelujah. The movement of the Holy Spirit
• 11:46
  while we speak is not just about being anointed. It
• 11:50
  is an attestation to the fact that what you are
• 11:53
  hearing is not just sound coming to your ears, that
• 11:56
  beyond the realm of your hearings, something is entering your spirit. Allelujah,
• 12:03
  Praise the name of the Lord. In this kingdom or
• 12:13
  in life. There are two ways to approach the matters
• 12:18
  of life and destiny. I wanted to listen carefully. There
• 12:22
  are two ways to approach the matters of life and destiny.
• 12:27
  There are three people now who will start running under
• 12:30
  the annointing. Just hold them. You don't have to bring
• 12:32
  them out. Just hold them and just keep them. Come.
• 12:35
  It's just the activity of the Holy Spirit in their life.
• 12:37
  God is building them. He said, Grace, I just saw
• 12:40
  a door open in the spirit, and I saw three
• 12:43
  people like that. Grace for speed coming upon them who
• 12:46
  have the time to do the importation for right now,
• 12:49
  three of them the lights help them, please, Allelujah, Praise God.
• 12:59
  Just help them. When someone so that they are anointing
• 13:00
  close to you, you help them. That is one three
• 13:04
  of them I saw in my vision. I mean the
• 13:07
  season is coming to an end. That door has been opened.
• 13:09
  A door stands for access, access, access in the spirit.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Access.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It's a grace for speed that takes people beyond because
• 13:21
  one of the ways that we redeem time in the spirit.
• 13:26
  One of the ways that we redeem time is for
• 13:29
  God to give us speed, speed even by the Spirit
• 13:33
  of God. Allelujah. So as these words come once, I
• 13:42
  just interject it shouldn't distract us. We are teaching the world.
• 13:46
  But then we must allow the Holy Spirit. This is
• 13:49
  this is what we came to experience. It's more than
• 13:54
  a lecture. You're immersed in the ministry of the spirit.
• 13:58
  The ministry of the Spirit is beyond just a mad
• 14:01
  communication where you say yes, I agree. There is a
• 14:04
  spiritual activity that is happening to you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I I I I I I.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Am moundered shadow.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Of your influences on low over me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I am undered, the shadow of your weeks, your influences
• 14:38
  all low over me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I I are you I I.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Here's the part of the alone.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I am They all yes.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I have over.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: I Alleluiah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Who is cheedy? I'm hearing the name Cheedy like c
• 15:26
  h I d I someone that should be a male name.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Am I red.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Y. There is a cheedy that God is. No, No,
• 15:39
  you don't have to come out. Don't worry. You have
• 15:41
  that time at night. I just felt like, sometimes you see,
• 15:45
  God does not distract us like this, just because this
• 15:50
  is not about there's there's something that you are learning.
• 15:56
  When you see these things, you have to discern what
• 15:58
  God is doing. It tells you how determined God is
• 16:03
  to see that you find rest and you're experiencing. Allelujah.
• 16:13
  The Lord is bringing captivity the family of Gedy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Chedy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: This name I'm seeing the Lord is bringing rest round
• 16:25
  about freedom from there's there's a unique expression of demonic
• 16:30
  assaults in that family. This gentleman, don't miss the service tonight.
• 16:40
  This one looking at me wearing glasses. This one, my friend,
• 16:45
  God will begin to walk in your life from this meeting.
• 16:48
  But this night's service is for you. Come with your
• 16:51
  heart opened, because God has a great assignment for you,
• 16:57
  very very great assignment for you, in the name of Jesus,
• 17:03
  great assignment for you. Somebody will begin to laugh now
• 17:08
  by the spirit.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no no.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: This is not something mechanical. Laughing by the spirit. The
• 17:15
  Bible says that shouts of joy and victory shall not
• 17:18
  depart from the tent of the righteous. This is not
• 17:22
  something super How does someone come to charge, discipline and organize,
• 17:26
  and just because a man is speaking, you announce that laughing.
• 17:30
  You're not acting. That laughter, you see is not a
• 17:34
  mechanical thing. That laughter, you see, is a token of
• 17:38
  victory in the spirit, that something has been established in
• 17:41
  the spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Laughter.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine that that someone begins to laugh just
• 17:49
  by the spirit. Remember this used to happen in Kenneth
• 17:51
  Haiggin's meetings, and ignorant people just kept criticizing them. So
• 18:08
  let's let's get to a discussion. We're talking with leaders.
• 18:12
  There are two ways to approach the matters of life
• 18:16
  and destiny, and I want you to please pay attention.
• 18:18
  Number one, You can approach life and destiny sensually just
• 18:25
  using brain work, logic, and guesswork largely, whether it is
• 18:32
  leadership or your socion as far as purpose and destiny's concern,
• 18:37
  you can choose to lean entirely on the realm of logic,
• 18:42
  the realm of common sense, and the realm of trial
• 18:45
  and error. You can experiment your way through life in
• 18:50
  hope that you are right. Or number two, the second option,
• 18:55
  which is the more superior, is that you can walk
• 19:00
  the path of.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: The spiritual man.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: There is the approach of the natural man, one who
• 19:09
  is largely driven by experiment, driven by.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Senses, trial and error.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: But there is the path of a spiritual man. And
• 19:18
  God is generous enough to present both options to you
• 19:21
  when you begin your work. That means it is within
• 19:27
  your power to choose that I want to live my
• 19:30
  life naturally sensually by experimentation, and God will honor that decision.
• 19:37
  Or you can choose that I want to follow the
• 19:40
  path of a spiritual man. A spiritual man is not
• 19:44
  a pastor. A spiritual man is not a preacher. A
• 19:47
  spiritual man is one who has chosen, as an act
• 19:51
  of your will, to submit to the world and to
• 19:54
  submit to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. These are
• 19:59
  the proof that turn ordinary men to become spiritual. You
• 20:04
  are not spiritual just because you are praying in tongues. No,
• 20:08
  you are spiritual to the degree to which your life
• 20:12
  leans only on the authority of Scripture and the ministry
• 20:18
  the supremacy of the Holy Spirit. That means the Holy
• 20:22
  Spirit is not an opinion you consult when you are confused.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: He literally becomes the life force.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: That your intelligence is derived from your interaction with Scripture
• 20:35
  and your interaction with the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 20:38
  So when people tell you they are spiritual, it is
• 20:41
  not by carrying a formal regally of religion. No, if
• 20:46
  you say you are spiritual, I have to test your
• 20:49
  loyalty to the supremacy of the world of God as
• 20:53
  against your mind, your feelings, your opinions or status core.
• 20:57
  And then I also have to test yourn not to
• 21:00
  the ministry of the Holy Spirit. If I find you
• 21:04
  wanting in these two dimensions, you are not spiritual.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: It's as simple as that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Are we together, I just define for you what the
• 21:13
  Bible calls a spiritual man. A spiritual man is not
• 21:16
  just one who prays in tongues. A spiritual man is
• 21:19
  not just one who is in church all the time.
• 21:21
  A spiritual man is not just one who christ when
• 21:24
  they raise a song of worship. True spirituality is measured
• 21:30
  by the depth of your resoluteness to submit to the
• 21:33
  supremacy of the Word of God. Are we together now
• 21:36
  that the Word of God and the ministry of the
• 21:39
  Holy Spirit become the principal influences of your thinking, your behavior,
• 21:45
  your character, and then your destiny, no matter how popular,
• 21:52
  no matter how convenient it is, If it is inconsistent
• 21:56
  with the Word of God, and it's not based on
• 21:59
  the prompting and the allowance that the Spirit of Grace
• 22:02
  gives you, you will restrict yourself. The assignment of your
• 22:05
  will in this sense now becomes to moving the direction
• 22:11
  of the Word of God and the voice of the
• 22:13
  Spirit or otherwise. That is a part of a spiritual man.
• 22:17
  And I can tell you many people are not spiritual.
• 22:22
  It's not an insult. There is selective or conditional spirituality.
• 22:29
  That means, if for any reason, what God wants now
• 22:33
  coincides with what you want, it will now look like
• 22:35
  you are obedient. Now, spirituality must be absolute. It does
• 22:42
  not matter whether it seems to work well in my
• 22:46
  favor or not. I trust the intelligence of the spirit.
• 22:50
  I trust the intelligence of the Word of God. This
• 22:53
  is why the Word of God, the Bible, is a
• 22:57
  compendium of God's dealings with people to time, and he
• 23:01
  allowed us to vert his integrity without hiding anything, so
• 23:05
  that we can come to the conclusion that is dependable,
• 23:09
  that even when we.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Do not understand Him, we can't trust him.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Wanting to understand God before you follow him is the
• 23:18
  recipe for disaster, because in the dealings of God with
• 23:22
  men there are many dimensions of his dealings that it
• 23:25
  will take years for you to understand what God was doing.
• 23:29
  You will need to stand the journey. It is five
• 23:32
  years into the journey to begin to make sense. So
• 23:35
  when you become scientific and calculative in your approach, you
• 23:39
  will not only slow down your pace, you will most
• 23:41
  likely not be able to work with God. You ask
• 23:46
  anybody who God is using today, they will tell you
• 23:49
  for a major part of your journey, they were just
• 23:52
  moving blindly. Where are you going too?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I just know he said, follow me. What is the
• 23:57
  name of what we are doing?
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I do not know.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The mission is follow me. The question is do you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Trust the person who is leading you. If you do
• 24:06
  then follow?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Are we together?
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: So?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: There are many people right now whose destinies are full
• 24:15
  of fear, and the reason is because we always want
• 24:19
  to be in control of things before we move. Unfortunately,
• 24:23
  one of the assignments of the Holy Spirit when you
• 24:26
  begin your work with God. Listen carefully. When you begin
• 24:29
  your work with God, the Holy Spirit cuts you away.
• 24:32
  Are we together? From that sense of self confidence wanting
• 24:37
  to know the details before you follow? And there are
• 24:43
  many ways that God achieves that. Let me tell you
• 24:45
  the truth. There are times in your work with God.
• 24:48
  God can ask you to come out of the room
• 24:51
  and you are not sure whether it's him or not.
• 24:53
  You can come out and stand expecting something to happen.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: You stand.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: After ten twenty minutes you will say go, but I
• 25:00
  can't sleep. And that's the end of it. What was
• 25:02
  the goal of that? Thing's a training, It's not about
• 25:06
  something that will happen. We usually, well, okay, now that
• 25:09
  I obeyed you, what is the reward Immediately? Now I'm
• 25:12
  training you to depend on me even when you do
• 25:15
  not understand me.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Because you will be learning now that kingdom leadership is
• 25:25
  a derivative of your experience with God. If you do
• 25:29
  not have a rich experience with God, you cannot lead
• 25:33
  people to be able to fulfill the purposes of God
• 25:37
  for their lives. You have to know how God works
• 25:40
  with men to be able to know how to help
• 25:43
  men work with God. Did you get what I said?
• 25:48
  You need to know as a leader, how God works
• 25:51
  with men, then you can guide men to know how
• 25:54
  to work with God. If you are in ignorance as
• 25:59
  to how God works with men, the economy of God
• 26:03
  with men, then you will not be able to lead people.
• 26:06
  The people you lead will not be a spiritual people.
• 26:09
  And that would have nothing to do with whether you
• 26:11
  are a good person or bad party. It's just ignorance
• 26:14
  of the ways of God. So, as leaders, whether you
• 26:25
  want to be or you are in business, or you
• 26:28
  are a preacher and the pulpit, or you're a family man,
• 26:32
  or you are a captain of industry and academician, it
• 26:35
  does not matter the geography of your witness. You would
• 26:38
  ye me say the training is usually and largely the same,
• 26:42
  especially at the initial point when God begins the training
• 26:47
  of an apostle, a prophet, a professor, a businessman, someone
• 26:54
  who is a potential politician. In fact, in many cases,
• 26:58
  all of them start together as friends, and they do
• 27:00
  not even know what they will become.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: So the initial point of the training is the same.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: He will submit all of them to the supremacy of
• 27:09
  God's world and to the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 27:12
  It is as they progress he now begins to diverge
• 27:16
  them to the various dimensions that represent their core areas
• 27:19
  away together. Now they will find out that one who
• 27:23
  is given to the apostolic and the prophetic. As they
• 27:26
  grow in prayer and the world of God and the
• 27:28
  ministry of the Holy Spirit, one will seem to be
• 27:32
  in a greater sense in crime towards the matters of
• 27:35
  prayer and consecration and the secret place, not even knowing
• 27:38
  what is drawing him to that unusual experience. It is
• 27:42
  God distributed them. One person becomes he cultivates an unusual
• 27:46
  appetite for knowledge, not just the knowledge of the world,
• 27:50
  but even the knowledge of the systems. And it does
• 27:52
  not know why. This is why it is dangerous. Listen carefully.
• 27:59
  It is dangerous r us to create doctrines out of
• 28:02
  your personal experience. How God builds you is not the
• 28:06
  only way He builds. How God builds you is not
• 28:12
  the only way He builds. It is just your experience
• 28:15
  of how He builds. If I subject every one to
• 28:19
  my personal spiritual training, I will only produce apostles. You
• 28:25
  see that now, But that would be a dangerous thing
• 28:27
  for those send to business. That would be a dangerous
• 28:30
  thing for those sent to politics. Because my unique training
• 28:35
  was given to mold me to become what I am,
• 28:38
  and I'm becoming right now, so you can glean from it.
• 28:42
  But more than my experience, I must submit you to
• 28:46
  the world of God, because it does not matter what
• 28:49
  you are becoming. The manual that will make you is
• 28:51
  still the same. So in my mentoring you to become
• 28:57
  I must lay emphasis on the integrity of the world
• 29:01
  more than my unique experience. Are we learning now? By
• 29:05
  the time I become so emotionally connected to my spiritual experience,
• 29:10
  I will mold you to become something that you are
• 29:14
  not comfortable with. I will be happy because it's convenient
• 29:18
  for me based on what God has called me to do.
• 29:24
  There are many people today who are victims of the unique.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Training of leaders.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: A businessman, for instance, who is mentoring somebody who will
• 29:37
  become an apostle will most likely frustrate that young man.
• 29:41
  Do you know why, because that man will be given
• 29:44
  to learning the wisdom of Egypt and learning all kinds
• 29:47
  of things. But this guy called into the apostolic and
• 29:49
  the prophetic, he can receive an instruction to go on
• 29:52
  first for forty days, and respectfully speaking, it may not
• 29:55
  make sense to the business man, because the business man
• 29:59
  has been trained to understand the value of time. He
• 30:02
  has been trained by God to understand the value of
• 30:04
  negotiations and the place of wisdom. And the person says, listen,
• 30:08
  this time you are wasted. You are just lying down
• 30:11
  and saying, God speak to me. You will be poor
• 30:13
  and your children will beg who beg for bread. And
• 30:18
  it does not understand that it is a unique training
• 30:22
  that is producing a kind of person.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yes? So the gentleman to honor the business man mentor
• 30:32
  will give up on his apostolic and prophetic training, and
• 30:36
  he will find out that even though he has an
• 30:37
  apostolic call, the man he is becoming is just a
• 30:41
  business man.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: And that is not wrong if that were the call.
• 30:48
  It is based on this revelation that I.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Prefer to expose people to the ministry of scripture communicating doctrine.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Doctrine is how God makes people.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: My personal experience comes with the limitation of my call,
• 31:11
  but there are many other dimensions that may not be
• 31:14
  captured in my experience.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: This is very powerful.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this especially for parents too, because there are
• 31:20
  times that respectfully speaking, parents can lead children. And the
• 31:25
  only way you know that God leads is not the
• 31:27
  only way he leads. Many people today have a bought
• 31:30
  the destiny because of loyalty to the templates they were given.
• 31:35
  Eli Thank God for how God use you, But be
• 31:39
  sensitive to what God is doing with Sam Well. God
• 31:42
  is raising him in a way you have not known before.
• 31:44
  So make sure you guide him and encourage him, not
• 31:47
  discourage him. Just because it does not look like you're
• 31:50
  training does not mean it. It's not God doing it. Allelujah.
• 32:01
  Are we together? Let's talk about our experience with God.
• 32:11
  There is no spiritual leader. By spiritual there, I don't
• 32:14
  mean church leader. There is no spiritual leader who will
• 32:20
  be able to be effective in this end time without
• 32:23
  having a strong experience with God. Allelujah. Very very important.
• 32:34
  Where we shared yesterday, the Bible says for us that
• 32:38
  should be second. Second Chronicles, chapter twenty six. I believe
• 32:43
  we read verse five, and then we went to verse fifteen. Well,
• 32:46
  let's look at verse five. I believe. Talking about Busiah,
• 32:50
  it says, as long as he sought the Lord, God
• 32:55
  made him to prosper, his prosperity and his excess was
• 33:01
  a product of his passionate press for the things of God.
• 33:05
  Please look at me. It does not matter what God
• 33:08
  has called you to become, and it does not matter
• 33:11
  what area of leadership. Let me submit to you. Your
• 33:15
  longevity in leadership and influence will be proportional to the
• 33:20
  depth of your knowledge of God, the depth of your
• 33:24
  work with God. That is the reason why, in order
• 33:27
  of priority, before God begins to expose you to the
• 33:30
  matters of purpose, the assignment is follow me, not follow it.
• 33:36
  When God calls a man, the next thing he does
• 33:39
  is not to reveal to you where you are going.
• 33:42
  He reveals himself first.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Now? It is dangerous to come to God and then
• 33:48
  leave God and start following and pursuing purpose. Notice the
• 33:52
  pattern that he gave the apostles who would later become
• 33:56
  the initial leaders of the church. He called all of
• 33:58
  them from their varios, you know vocations, and he said,
• 34:02
  follow me and I will make you that. Following two
• 34:05
  three years, their lives seemed wrecked and frustrated, to a
• 34:11
  point where they had to open up and said, listen,
• 34:13
  we have to confront you on this. We have left
• 34:15
  everything to follow you. What is in it for us?
• 34:17
  Because this your training does not make sense to us.
• 34:20
  We were successful people before you called us right now,
• 34:23
  we've left fishing. We've left everything. Remember when Jesus died,
• 34:27
  they were angry because they felt count and in John
• 34:30
  twenty one, bitter said, I go out fishing. Let me
• 34:32
  go back to what I was doing. The disciples said,
• 34:35
  we go back with you. When he met Jesus Christ.
• 34:38
  That was why when he saw that it was Jesus Christ,
• 34:41
  he said, go away from me. I'm a sinner. I've
• 34:44
  done something. I didn't know you would come back from me.
• 34:46
  I didn't know there was value in seeking and knowing you. Listen.
• 34:53
  The reason why God insists that we haven't experience with
• 34:57
  him before he lifts us ah because be cause for
• 35:00
  every dimension of glory and influence. Please listen, there are battles,
• 35:06
  There are dynamics of living in every realm, of leadership
• 35:10
  and growth, that if you do not have a rich
• 35:12
  experience with God, you will not last. Hallelujah. There are
• 35:17
  certain enemies that you have no business knowing about until
• 35:21
  you attain certain height in life.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: So before you get there, God prepares you.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Do you know it is because of this inability to
• 35:30
  be properly prepared that God himself impedes the growth of
• 35:35
  certain people. It's not the devil stopping the growth of
• 35:38
  certain people. God, by his messy he vets you and
• 35:42
  looks at your spiritual energy and capacity and says, no,
• 35:46
  I cannot give you this kind of membership. I cannot
• 35:49
  give you this kind of influence because I love you
• 35:52
  too much to expose you to a rem where you
• 35:55
  do not have the stamina to stand and remain.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Year me.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Please, If you are Elijah, make sure you know God
• 36:04
  enough to not allow the pride of Jezebel to intimidate you,
• 36:08
  because for every mantle of Elijah, there is the challenge
• 36:12
  of Jezebel looking for you. If you are Samson, make
• 36:16
  sure you have the strength to resist Delilah before. Don't
• 36:20
  wait until you become a champion, because Delilah only looks
• 36:24
  for Samson Delilah does not look for Joseph m hm.
• 36:28
  So there are demons assigned to mantles, not people. Listen, listen, listen.
• 36:34
  There are spirits that they don't want to know your name.
• 36:38
  They just look for whoever is carrying this mantle. Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: There are spirits assigned over a Nugo state.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: There is a level of wealth that if you ever
• 36:54
  attain it, you activate the operation of those spirits. They
• 36:57
  don't look for you because of you. They don't care
• 37:00
  who you are. The only care for whoever, because anybody
• 37:04
  that attains that level of influence, the rest of the
• 37:07
  spirit knows the impact you can have as far as
• 37:10
  God's purposes are concerned. You're a music artist. There are
• 37:15
  spirits that are sent to derail people at several levels.
• 37:20
  So you may see someone fighting a battel and say,
• 37:22
  oh dear, these people are not serious. It's because you've
• 37:25
  not raisen, You don't know the one assigned, You have
• 37:28
  not picked your mantul, and you are not working. That
• 37:30
  is why, that's why many times, please hear me, when
• 37:34
  you find out that you are praying and you are
• 37:36
  loting God, yet some doors are not opening. Stop binding
• 37:39
  and casting asks, Lord, what are you doing? What level
• 37:43
  of equipping do I need to go through? Becoming great
• 37:51
  and becoming successful is the easiest part of success. Maintaining
• 37:55
  it and staying there the ability to retain your honor.
• 38:01
  Please listen carefully. How God is blessing you already? Oh God,
• 38:12
  I pray that you grant me. The whole world must
• 38:15
  hear my voice. I can't be quiet. Lord, you took
• 38:18
  me from a family with nobody in the name of
• 38:20
  Jesus Christ. Everybody must hear my voice. Ah, all right,
• 38:25
  good prayer. Then there is a can over your spiritual
• 38:31
  life in the realm of the spirit. And it's like
• 38:34
  a shrub trying to carry mango fruits. You know, a shrub,
• 38:41
  and yet the kind of fruit it wants to carry
• 38:43
  is mango the fruit. And Lord is what to kill
• 38:46
  the shrub? God give me global visibility. And yet you
• 38:56
  were crying simply because somebody told you you were stupid. Lord,
• 39:05
  my business must been number one in Enugu. Are you
• 39:08
  ready for the attacks and the antagonism that comes with influence?
• 39:13
  Are you prepared for it? I hope you are learning.
• 39:22
  Go and read about people in the Bible. That's why
• 39:26
  God gave us a bible. Let me take a few
• 39:28
  for you, and then you will learn. The Bible talks
• 39:31
  about a young man called Joseph, innocent young man. This
• 39:36
  gentleman goes to bed, and then he has a dream.
• 39:40
  In the dream, you know, he sees the sun moon
• 39:45
  and the eleven starts bowing to him. He gets up innocently,
• 39:48
  maybe a morning devotion. I can imagine. The father is there,
• 39:51
  the mother, and the brothers. Remember they were not friends,
• 39:55
  they were brothers, say brothers, and then he shares his dream.
• 40:00
  I have something to say. I slept and I saw
• 40:02
  the sun moon and eleven starts bowing to me. The
• 40:06
  brothers did not seem to react there immediately, but something
• 40:09
  was about to come that a gentleman was not prepared for.
• 40:12
  Then the father, now out of love for him, gives
• 40:14
  him a coat of many colors, and the brother said,
• 40:20
  we've had enough. Can you imagine for brothers to come
• 40:23
  together and plan over their brother, not an enemy, and say,
• 40:28
  you know what, we're going to kill this person. And
• 40:31
  they drew him in a well and carried the courts,
• 40:35
  filled it with blood, and went to tell the father
• 40:38
  that a wild beast had killed him imagine that kind
• 40:42
  of thing.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Imagine Daniel.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: It's in your Bible, ladies and gentlemen, that on account
• 40:49
  of the excelling of Daniel as a politician, some people
• 40:54
  came together and said, listen, we need to do something
• 40:57
  about this man. And the Bible says this such as
• 41:00
  far as his duties are concerned.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: They did not find anything.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: What a man. And they said what where, what area?
• 41:07
  We're going to trap him, and they found out his
• 41:09
  covenant of prayer. They said, fine, we will anger it
• 41:13
  through politics. You would think they were just political people,
• 41:16
  would determine to make sure that Babylon were a safe place.
• 41:20
  They literally changed the policy in the parliament because they
• 41:24
  were looking for one man. Finally they get here, and
• 41:29
  then even though the king lighted him, he had to
• 41:32
  soub me to the principles the loss of the land.
• 41:34
  They threw him in the lions there. Do you know,
• 41:36
  please look up. I'm not sure Daniel's first prayer would
• 41:44
  be for safety from the lions. His first prayer would
• 41:47
  be avoidance of that defect, that thing are we together?
• 41:50
  That means he's going to say, Lord, show up so
• 41:53
  that I don't even get to the lions. Then in
• 41:55
  the first place. I can imagine him saying, my God,
• 42:02
  you are faithful. I will not see the lion no way.
• 42:05
  I confess positively, me and the lions, I have no
• 42:08
  covenant with them. I'm a man of prayer. And the
• 42:11
  more he's praying, the more he's getting to the den.
• 42:14
  I can imagine what happened when they threw him there.
• 42:18
  What happens when your prayer keeps moving you towards what
• 42:21
  you are praying against. It's in your Bible. There are
• 42:26
  times that your prayer does not move you away from
• 42:29
  what you are praying for or praying against, It moves
• 42:33
  you towards. This man was a man of prayer. The
• 42:38
  Bible tells us that there was no fault in him,
• 42:43
  so you can't say you are suffering the consequence of anything.
• 42:47
  And yet his prayer life kept leading him until finally
• 42:51
  he got there.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: But that was the price that was needed for his exultation.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: So be careful. Sometimes what you are asking for is
• 43:01
  not answered, not because God didn't hear. He knew that
• 43:03
  you are not. Number one, you are not serious, and
• 43:05
  number two, you are not even in a position since
• 43:08
  herely it would be wickedness for God to make that
• 43:11
  prayer come to pass, because you are clearly not prepared
• 43:15
  for it. Do you know what it meant for Jesus
• 43:21
  Christ himself to start renegotiating salvation. I love the Bible.
• 43:26
  It does not hide anything, Jesus, your Jesus, says father.
• 43:31
  If it be thy will, you thought, because he was
• 43:35
  the Word incarnate, he would be so invincible against trouble. No,
• 43:40
  Jesus's vulnerability was clearly recorded in the Bible. He said, listen,
• 43:44
  can't we negotiate this mood? Do I have to die?
• 43:47
  Let me remind you, my father, that you are still God.
• 43:49
  There is still another way, but he dost remember now
• 43:53
  this is the way of the spiritual man. Nevertheless, not
• 43:56
  my will, but yours be. Don't listen you, I think
• 44:00
  after talking nicely to God like that, you will say, look,
• 44:04
  you just touch me. Okay, you will not die. He
• 44:06
  still died. He's still you asked me to talk to leaders.
• 44:19
  Listen more than it does not cost God anything. This
• 44:24
  I have learned from Scripture and learned from my life.
• 44:27
  Believe me when I tell you it does not cost
• 44:30
  God anything to give you all the things you are
• 44:33
  praying for. But you see the all seen eye of
• 44:37
  God sees for the results you are getting and the
• 44:40
  trouble the effects you are in the world of men.
• 44:44
  This is what you need to understand. The Bible says
• 44:47
  the highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the heath
• 44:50
  has he given to the children of men. That means
• 44:53
  all the things that plague men, including jealousy, including envy,
• 44:57
  bitter envy, even onto death, still resides within your Tomay.
• 45:04
  That is why when God wants to raise you to
• 45:06
  be a great leader, the first thing he gives you
• 45:09
  is not the grace and the mantle for purpose. The
• 45:11
  first thing he gives you is the gift of himself.
• 45:14
  You must have a deep enough experience with God. So
• 45:20
  there are times that you will see God training a
• 45:22
  business man as if he's going to become an apostle.
• 45:26
  And the man is saying, God, but it's his business.
• 45:28
  Now you are saying, it's just my own is just money,
• 45:31
  And God says, you're better first. You're better first because
• 45:34
  it's not about buying and selling. You are going to
• 45:37
  be confronting spirit. You will need that prophetic grace to
• 45:40
  know when to negotiate which business everything, even darkness from
• 45:44
  a father looks like light, say, an experience with God.
• 45:51
  Many leaders are more focused about the technical skills of leadership.
• 45:58
  Many leaders are more focus on the value that they provide,
• 46:02
  and there's nothing wrong with that. Many leaders are more
• 46:07
  focused on their influence and the loyalty of the people
• 46:10
  they lead. But in order of priority for you to
• 46:15
  be an effective leader in ministry, in business, and to
• 46:19
  have any kind of sustainable kingdom influence that lasts, please
• 46:23
  hear me. The first part of call is your experience
• 46:26
  with God. Do you know God enough? Do you know
• 46:30
  how He delivers from trouble? Don't learn it when you
• 46:33
  are in trouble. Learn it before. The things that are
• 46:38
  written afore time. Your Bible says they are written for
• 46:41
  our learning, so that we, through patience and the comfort
• 46:44
  of scripture, might find hope. I don't wait until the
• 46:48
  day I get into trouble and I say, God, how
• 46:51
  did you even say we come out of trouble?
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: No, no way.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Before you get there, you begin to learn the dynamics
• 46:57
  in your knowledge of God. I will call up the
• 47:00
  Lord who is deserving a worthy of praise. It says,
• 47:03
  so shall I be saved from my enemies? That means
• 47:07
  I gathered this as arsenals. As I am rising, I
• 47:11
  expect some.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Things to happen.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: If someone looks at you and says, you came to
• 47:17
  this office four years and they have made you an
• 47:20
  executive director over my dead body, you don't go around
• 47:23
  and start panicking. It's a proof of lack of thorough training.
• 47:27
  If you learned and you were killed by God, you
• 47:30
  should already expect that this would happen, and you should
• 47:33
  already have the plan to deal with it. Are weare together?
• 47:46
  There are people who had a greater sense of peace
• 47:50
  being poor than when they had money. Nobody distoped you,
• 47:54
  nobody lied to you, nobody did anything, and then your
• 47:58
  prayers a father. Before the end of twenty twenty two,
• 48:02
  I must have my first hundred million. I must have
• 48:04
  my first one billion. And as you are saying it,
• 48:07
  I'm sure the angels are just watching and said, goodness,
• 48:13
  do you really know what it takes to sit down
• 48:16
  one hundred million, one billion of your money and be
• 48:19
  in Christ? Listen again in your mind to everything I
• 48:27
  said and be because you see, for a one billion
• 48:33
  Nira holder, let's use nirah one billion Narra holder. There
• 48:39
  are certain relationships you must maintain that are not godly.
• 48:44
  Do you hear what I said? There are certain relationships
• 48:47
  you must maintain at that level of influence that are
• 48:51
  not godly. You have to master the dynamics of living
• 48:57
  as a sheep among wolves. H There are there are,
• 49:07
  hear me. Let me tell you this, Even as a
• 49:11
  man of God rising in influence, you will be amazed
• 49:15
  at the proposals that will come around the world. I
• 49:19
  submit to you, I'm talking to leaders. You cannot imagine
• 49:22
  the groups and the associations and the proposals that people
• 49:27
  have brought apostle. There is this committee of so so
• 49:30
  so so across Africa. There is this one group of
• 49:33
  global this advant and that, and with all sense of job.
• 49:36
  I'm not stupid. I'm intelligent enough to know what is demonic.
• 49:43
  You cannot imagine the things I have rejected in my
• 49:46
  life as a price for remaining true with God. Now
• 49:52
  this is not the part of many people's stories that
• 49:54
  you hear. You just know that they're working with God
• 49:57
  and God is lifting them. Let me tell you there
• 49:59
  are time I'm since your rising where loving God looks
• 50:03
  like foolishness because the amount of things you will lose,
• 50:07
  you will need to check and say, what else do
• 50:09
  I have? What else do I have left?
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Something more than God.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: I've got something more than go.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Something more than gold. I've got something more than go
• 50:27
  ef jeese.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I've got something more than go.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I will tell it to the world Jesus see. One
• 50:45
  of the deceptions of greatness is the presence of many
• 50:49
  material things. Material things have such jealousy they will fight
• 50:56
  your loyalty for God. Let that car arrive and you
• 51:00
  will see how much your heart was connected to it.
• 51:02
  The moment the tire boss, you can't even pray until
• 51:05
  they fix the tire the tire of that car. Remember
• 51:09
  you rolled around when you were just taking a car
• 51:12
  and say, Lord, everything to you. By the time you
• 51:14
  build a business and you hear that the stocks of
• 51:17
  your company are about to crash, and God says, go
• 51:20
  on first for five days, you will lie down and say, Lord,
• 51:24
  so is this how my company is going to go down?
• 51:28
  That is the reason why God tells you to eat
• 51:31
  for the journey's far. When he's subjecting you to fasting
• 51:35
  and prayer. Listen, you don't know what it means to
• 51:38
  train six children or five children. You may not have
• 51:42
  the time to fast for twenty one days again, so
• 51:44
  before the marriage comes. He makes you to fast as
• 51:47
  if and you don't. God, what are you doing to me?
• 51:50
  You are building.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Tamina and energy for the days that are coming.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: God, by this teaching this morning is giving someone a
• 52:00
  nation as to what has been happening to you. God,
• 52:04
  I'm not seen any results, but you will say first,
• 52:07
  just when I'm done, you give me two weeks breaks.
• 52:09
  You says, that's another one. Why is that so? Because
• 52:12
  you will be so busy. You will be so busy
• 52:16
  that are you will have to lean on your the
• 52:20
  prayer bank that you have built for years, the world
• 52:24
  banks you have built for years. Alan sharliebra has Cato
• 52:36
  here what the spirit of God is telling you? You're
• 52:39
  not listening to a lecture. Yes, sir, there are some
• 52:47
  of you. Because of the kind of wealth that God
• 52:51
  is going to be committing to you, the nature of
• 52:53
  your training will almost frustrate you. You will find out
• 52:56
  that you are wealthy. You are ending a salary of
• 52:59
  two hundred thousand, and God can say so everything you know,
• 53:02
  why because compared to what is coming in the future,
• 53:05
  what you are saving this nonsense, God is using what
• 53:08
  you have to keep training you Lord, what is this now?
• 53:13
  You told me to sow two hundred thousand and then
• 53:16
  my areas just him. You are saying, so it aday,
• 53:19
  It does not make sense. It will make sense when
• 53:22
  a billion dollars come. That training will make sense when
• 53:26
  you become a captain of a conglomerates.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: And God who says so for this mission shield.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: You have been trained already. Listen. Now God is training
• 53:40
  you to be a prophet, and in the process of
• 53:43
  knowing him, he will allow you to make certain mistakes. Deliberately.
• 53:47
  You will stand in the midst of people and say,
• 53:49
  who is John here? And there is nobody who is John?
• 53:53
  And truly you believe that you had that name John.
• 53:56
  It will think your ego so that pride would die.
• 54:00
  The day that prophetic place begins to work, you are
• 54:03
  no longer conscious of your reputation. Your awareness of obedience
• 54:07
  is greater than your validation. Can I tell you the truth.
• 54:23
  Treasure your scars. There will be the ankles for your
• 54:28
  remaining in the future. Treasure your scars. When we get
• 54:33
  to heaven. Today there is only one person who has
• 54:37
  the scar that is branded that calls.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Him the Christ.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: You will not know Jesus just by the crown on
• 54:43
  his head. Look at the hands of everybody and their feet.
• 54:47
  There is only one who has that unique scar. Your
• 54:50
  scar can give you a place in destiny. What you
• 54:55
  are ashamed of today will become your crown tomorrow. Yes, sir, I,
• 55:01
  Oh God is speaking to someone tonight. Listen. Most times
• 55:09
  when people come to me, you know, I love people,
• 55:12
  And when they come sincerely, the first thing they want
• 55:15
  to do is to receive a nineteen. And then Nielna say,
• 55:17
  I ask them, what do you want? Some four times
• 55:21
  the word Now, that's that's how many portion? Now double
• 55:24
  portion is to double double portion. Now that's quadruple portion
• 55:28
  for and I look at them with love and compassion
• 55:31
  and messy. Is this how you want to destroy yourself?
• 55:37
  Double portion? Elijah asked for double portion. He did not
• 55:42
  know what he asks for. Look at how he died.
• 55:46
  Elijah did not die. Oh, Elijah went to heaven. But
• 55:50
  the one who asked for double portion did not master
• 55:52
  the law of life. Look at how he died. Sickness
• 55:56
  kept following him because it was dominion over death that
• 56:00
  took Elijah to heaven. And Elijah asks for double portion,
• 56:05
  he did not know the attack that was looking for him.
• 56:08
  He died of sickness. The Bible tells us what killed him.
• 56:15
  So for those who have been crying for three times
• 56:18
  the anointing of Elisha, show me the books you are reading.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Show me the experience you are having with God.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: I want to work in the healing annoy h go
• 56:29
  and read about healing evangelist. Most of them did not
• 56:32
  live more than eighty years. Are we together? Because you see,
• 56:37
  the core area of your anointing is where Satan attacks.
• 56:42
  He sends here its to make you a victim of
• 56:44
  your call. This is how Satan works. If your call
• 56:48
  is onto healing and the rest, you must muss stand
• 56:52
  living in health.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: And the administration of the life of God.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: If your call is to bring people towards owniness and righteousness,
• 57:01
  you must master the art of circumventing. Delilah. There are
• 57:06
  people who follow certain annountings spirits. It's God giving us intelligence. Listen,
• 57:17
  let me tell you, by the privilege of God's grace,
• 57:20
  I've had the honor of being with many fathers of
• 57:23
  faith in this nation. And when I have the privilege
• 57:26
  of talking with them, more than the things they are saying,
• 57:28
  I'm observing, observing, I can't tell you that they have
• 57:35
  such a deep experience with God, deep part than most
• 57:41
  people know. What we do on stage only accounts for
• 57:45
  thirty percent of ministry. I hope you know that a
• 57:48
  major part of your life must be behind the veil.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: That is what strengthens what you do in the presence
• 57:55
  of people here.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I've had the honor of meeting very wealthy people more time,
• 58:00
  millionneires in all kinds of currencies, and when I sit
• 58:04
  with them, especially some of them who are very, very
• 58:07
  wealthy and love God, my goodness, the level of consecration.
• 58:12
  Some of the rules that God had to create in
• 58:15
  their own lives. You would think God were too strict,
• 58:18
  but that is exactly what kept them and is still
• 58:21
  keeping them. When you begin to work with God, when
• 58:25
  you learn doctrine and your rights to a particular point,
• 58:28
  listen to me. Let me tell you what God begins
• 58:31
  to do. God will begin to introduce unique rules based
• 58:35
  on the vulnerabilities he sees in your life. If He
• 58:38
  studies you and finds out that look it looks like
• 58:41
  you your weakness is women.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: For instance, God is going to.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Put a unique rule in your life that applies to
• 58:50
  only you in a way that if somebody looks at you,
• 58:54
  he will say, God, but God, this is unfair. God
• 58:56
  knows what he's stopping. And once you work with that mold,
• 59:01
  you will find out that you will circumvence that weakness,
• 59:04
  and you'll be able to be great. There are others
• 59:06
  your weakness. You are a man of God.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Even if a lady walks naked in front of you,
• 59:11
  it does not affect you.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: But if you see an envelope, even if you're a
• 59:14
  person and you see an envelope on the crowd, you
• 59:16
  must pick it and check what is inside. Watch this.
• 59:20
  I know you are laughing about. Pay attention away together
• 59:22
  a wait together. So God knows when the devil ones
• 59:28
  will destroy you. He can bring enemies in the name
• 59:32
  of members for only one year, who are millonnaires, but
• 59:35
  carry within them the spirit of your destruction. If you
• 59:39
  have not gone through the school of the spirit that
• 59:41
  has touched you and broken you to a point where
• 59:44
  you lose an appetite for those things, so God can
• 59:48
  give you rules like you will not have more than
• 59:52
  focus at any point in your life. Ah, your wife
• 59:57
  was saying, what kind of a husband are you?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Was ten cars.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: You gave away six Why and you said, I have
• 1:00:04
  a covenant with God. God told me I will at
• 1:00:07
  any giving point, I will only have forecasts. It is
• 1:00:11
  not a doctrine. It is a training.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: God has vettered you in.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: The spirit and have found out that if you have
• 1:00:17
  more than that, that is the gage of your discipline.
• 1:00:22
  If it crosses that, it can do something to you.
• 1:00:27
  If someone learning. There are people who, no matter how
• 1:00:32
  they first and prayer, they will not be able to
• 1:00:35
  pack a stadium to talk to the people. The reason
• 1:00:38
  is because what will happen to you after that meeting?
• 1:00:42
  Because of your low level of prayer, your low level
• 1:00:45
  of consecration. God will have to respect the allowance you
• 1:00:48
  have given him in your life. He will not expose
• 1:00:51
  you to battles that are beyond your level of spiritual preparation.
• 1:01:00
  Is this making sense to you? So the higher you
• 1:01:04
  want to rise, That's what I'm trying to say. You
• 1:01:07
  must have a deep and a rich experience with God.
• 1:01:11
  There are levels. When you get to with God, it
• 1:01:14
  no longer becomes an emotional dealing. It is a covenant.
• 1:01:18
  There are certain things when you do with God. God
• 1:01:21
  will bring a swan blessing upon you because you have
• 1:01:25
  gone this far. I swear by my name that in
• 1:01:28
  any good state you will never beg for bread again
• 1:01:32
  to your children's children. You see, when you see people
• 1:01:35
  come with certain transgenerational blessings, they didn't come just by
• 1:01:39
  dancing around and say God send me.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: It was an experience with God. When Abraham took.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: His child, only child, and placed that child, he actually
• 1:01:53
  was going to kill the child. In fact, he actually
• 1:01:56
  killed the child.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: When the child dies in.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Your heart, he really died. Romance chapter four already tells
• 1:02:07
  us his contemplations that Abraham planned to kill Isaac. Then
• 1:02:11
  when he's done, you say, I've obeyed you. Please raise
• 1:02:13
  my child back to life. Let me go back home
• 1:02:15
  with him, because I don't know what to go and
• 1:02:17
  tell his mother. I know we easily say Abraham gave
• 1:02:20
  up Isaac. Women, mothers, do you know what it means
• 1:02:25
  to wake up in the morning and not see your
• 1:02:27
  husband and your only child after waiting twenty five years? Honey?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: Where are you?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: And the ages? They are not all the age to
• 1:02:36
  have gone on because they went with him. Abraham was
• 1:02:41
  already ready for his marriage to fail. Because if you're
• 1:02:45
  a woman, if that kind of husband comes back, let
• 1:02:49
  me see the hand that prepares the food for him.
• 1:02:51
  And he says, honey, let's just kneel down and give
• 1:02:53
  God thanks in this our generation that is over before
• 1:02:57
  he even arrives. You have to read the scripture with
• 1:03:03
  your mind too, so you don't know what he was
• 1:03:07
  willing to lose as he carried Isaac. Do you know
• 1:03:11
  what it means. It's a different thing that they mothered
• 1:03:13
  your son, but that you killed him by yourself. For
• 1:03:17
  the rest of your life, you will not be normally again.
• 1:03:20
  You will hear the voice of your son day and night,
• 1:03:24
  even if it is after one hundred years.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Father, what is this?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: The people who would have killed Abraham himself were the savants.
• 1:03:33
  Among those savants, there will be lower list of his wife.
• 1:03:36
  Somebody will say, let's kill this man, because we can't
• 1:03:39
  stand the shame of telling the wife that we escorted
• 1:03:42
  the husband. We've not only lost our jobs, we've lost
• 1:03:46
  our lives. To let's kill him so that we all
• 1:03:49
  die here. And Abraham said, it does not matter, let's go.
• 1:03:55
  And God was watching the first and only man that
• 1:03:58
  acted what you will be doing himself. When he put
• 1:04:02
  Abraham on that altar, he lifted the knife with the
• 1:04:08
  tears in the son's eyes, he still did not stop.
• 1:04:11
  It was God who had to say stop. My question is,
• 1:04:15
  what if Abraham did not know how to hear God.
• 1:04:21
  Let me repeat it again. There must have been a
• 1:04:24
  training on hearing God. So read your Bible and say
• 1:04:27
  before he gave him that instruction, there was a training
• 1:04:31
  on hearing God. What if Abraham the life of Abraham
• 1:04:37
  and his son was at the messy of a particular
• 1:04:40
  training that he went through. Chumping The school of the
• 1:04:43
  Spirit is dangerous because something you are learning today is
• 1:04:47
  what would make and not that training tomorrow makes service.
• 1:04:51
  What if Abraham could not hear God and he finally
• 1:04:55
  killed Isaac, he would have written a book that God
• 1:04:59
  is a killer. Whereas God that's top. The problem was
• 1:05:02
  he's hearing the same way God told you in business top.
• 1:05:06
  But when God was training you to hear him, you
• 1:05:08
  did not hear. God told you have only three children.
• 1:05:12
  You had the fourth one.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Now the fourth one came with trouble because you did
• 1:05:16
  not hear.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: We keep blaming God on many things, but simply because
• 1:05:21
  we could not stand the school of the Spirit. Please
• 1:05:29
  listen carefully last sun echos at the Askapran they gave
• 1:05:35
  a last yeat. Yesterday we spent We spent quite some
• 1:05:43
  hours in the airport before we came. They kept shifting
• 1:05:46
  the flight. I got up early in the morning and
• 1:05:48
  while I was praying, I sent my airport people. I
• 1:05:53
  sent them a text. I said, I sensed that we're
• 1:05:56
  going to travel in the afternoon. I've already had that sense.
• 1:06:01
  And I kept seeing a plane in my vision and
• 1:06:05
  I saw the sun while the plane was going and
• 1:06:08
  I know this is not money. I said, no, no, no,
• 1:06:10
  the flight is in place. I already prepared my heart.
• 1:06:15
  I said, Lord, whatever it is, I give myself joy.
• 1:06:18
  I stayed for five hours in the airport, but I
• 1:06:21
  was already I already prepared what to do. So there
• 1:06:24
  was no disappointment because somewhere in my training he had
• 1:06:28
  taught me how to know when he's speaking. There are
• 1:06:33
  many troubles you get into simply because you don't even
• 1:06:35
  know what God is doing. Are we together now? There
• 1:06:42
  are times you are about to enter a car that
• 1:06:45
  would be the end of your life, but because you
• 1:06:48
  rejected the training of discernment, you are unable to know.
• 1:06:52
  Is this God, or is this just my mind? Listen?
• 1:06:56
  In these days leadership and exploiting, they to be at
• 1:07:00
  the messy of your experience with God.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: There is something that if you do not know about.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: God will destroy you completely. There are men of God
• 1:07:12
  who collected money. That's what killed them. Money they should
• 1:07:17
  not collect. Somebody sincerely who came not knowing that. That
• 1:07:23
  was the deception of Jacob and this al And they
• 1:07:26
  gave their bet right without knowing, and they collected ten
• 1:07:29
  million mirror that ten million error they collected was the
• 1:07:34
  beginning of their downfall. But when you work with God,
• 1:07:39
  he would train you that as you rise, not every
• 1:07:42
  gift is for your taking. You must have the stamina
• 1:07:45
  and the discipline to say no to many good things
• 1:07:50
  just because it's good. That's not many. It tis of God.
• 1:07:53
  You must be trained to know. It is not only
• 1:07:56
  evil you say no to. There are many good things
• 1:07:59
  in your life. If Satan tries to use sin and
• 1:08:02
  evil to kill you and you escape, he will use
• 1:08:05
  good things and kill you. The most important thing is
• 1:08:07
  that you die, doesn't matter with what he uses to.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: Kill You.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Are way together, my sister. You never knew that your
• 1:08:22
  assignment is to marry a great man of God who
• 1:08:25
  is going to be blessing the world. So as a
• 1:08:28
  young lady on campus, God begins to deal with you
• 1:08:31
  in a certain way. When a gentleman comes to you
• 1:08:34
  and says, I like you, God says, let me not
• 1:08:35
  even hear that thing again. Go back and less prayers. God,
• 1:08:38
  what are you doing with me? You do not know
• 1:08:41
  that he's building capacity because the kind of life and
• 1:08:45
  destiny you are going to be part of requires a
• 1:08:48
  lot of stamina. If you turn aside in the day
• 1:08:53
  of battle, your strength. Some of you. God knew that
• 1:09:01
  you're being minister in Nigeria. You were hoping you go
• 1:09:04
  up broad. God said, this your place of assignment. Nigeria
• 1:09:06
  seems to we're having problems.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: You stay here.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: This is where your assignment is. Other people are running.
• 1:09:12
  God says, you're not going anywhere. This is your place
• 1:09:15
  of stay. That was why he taught you on faith.
• 1:09:19
  It took one year to teach you on faith, and
• 1:09:22
  you were saying, God, what is it about fate? He said, no,
• 1:09:24
  you're kind of faith. You don't know the obstacles are
• 1:09:26
  to be coming land faith. He would give you instructions
• 1:09:30
  to read the books of men of God on faith. Listen,
• 1:09:33
  don't run away from the training of God. It does
• 1:09:36
  not make sense while he's building you.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: But you stay there.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: For someone right now. You are a leader, you are
• 1:09:45
  a man of God. But God has talt you from
• 1:09:47
  starting a church. God has stopped you from starting a fellowship.
• 1:09:51
  All the people you started together with, they have all
• 1:09:54
  kinds of ministerial platforms. And you are just there to
• 1:09:56
  the point that people look at you and say, ah, bad,
• 1:09:59
  there's wisdom. You have been serving for three five years.
• 1:10:02
  Why don't you start a little fellowship? And sincerely you
• 1:10:05
  want to do that, and God says no. The reason
• 1:10:08
  is because there is something else He has prepared for you.
• 1:10:10
  Now you can force yourself out of the will of God.
• 1:10:13
  You will honor you, but you must be willing to
• 1:10:15
  bear the consequence. Are well together the man god On
• 1:10:23
  lind Say, God On Lindsay, who found that Christ for
• 1:10:27
  the nations, not Christ for all nations, Christ for the nations.
• 1:10:31
  For a long time in god On Lindsay's life, he
• 1:10:34
  only kept partnering with people and ministries, and people looked
• 1:10:38
  at him and said, you're a very annointed man. Why
• 1:10:40
  don't you have your own platform, you know, and God
• 1:10:44
  would not let him for a long time. He looked
• 1:10:46
  like a fool until God finally gave him the allowance.
• 1:10:50
  And when he started Christ for the nations, he just
• 1:10:53
  spread around like wildfire. Please hear me, great people, n
• 1:11:02
  Time leadership and end time ministry will not be based
• 1:11:06
  on skill alone. End time leadership and endtime ministry will
• 1:11:12
  not just be based on technical academic skills. If you
• 1:11:16
  were in the days of Noah, I shared it the
• 1:11:19
  last time I was in a Lugu here. If you
• 1:11:21
  were in the days of Noah and the flood was coming,
• 1:11:24
  whether you were a professor, or you had a store,
• 1:11:27
  or you had a container to import and export, the
• 1:11:30
  rain that was coming was coming to suit everybody. There
• 1:11:34
  was only one skill that was needed.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: You're hearing God and your obeying him.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Every time in human history something seems to happen that
• 1:11:46
  shows the superiority of a man's spiritual advantage as against
• 1:11:51
  any other advantage. I know that we live in a
• 1:11:54
  world today where we over celebrate intellectualism. I'm not against
• 1:11:57
  that intellect Puytaism is wonderful. There are times we celebrate
• 1:12:03
  all kinds of crowns and we make it look like even.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Though you are not spiritual at least since you're intelligent.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Is still all right when that flood comes. It is
• 1:12:14
  not business people who will survive when that flowed comes.
• 1:12:18
  Imagine that you were in the days of Noah and
• 1:12:22
  a flood was coming. Let's assume you just finished dedicating
• 1:12:25
  your shop and then the next day the flood was start.
• 1:12:30
  You will not be spared simply because your mind thinks, well,
• 1:12:33
  the flood was going to sweep everything. There was only
• 1:12:36
  one man who survived, and he survived on the strength
• 1:12:42
  of his relationship for him to be able to build
• 1:12:45
  an act of Gofer who tells you he was a
• 1:12:47
  skilled man that it took technical skills to make that happen,
• 1:12:51
  but it took a spiritual foundation to get the instruction.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Leaning on your technical.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Skills alone, leadership, I'm not against it, right, submit yourself
• 1:13:03
  to all of that, but plays behind everything you do.
• 1:13:06
  You must know that your experience with God, it's very
• 1:13:11
  very important. So as a ceego, you see that one
• 1:13:17
  when someone talks about the Lord, say, we're not talking
• 1:13:21
  spiritual things here, we're talking business. Really find out how
• 1:13:29
  the earth was created. The Bible tells us that the
• 1:13:32
  things that do appear came from the realm of the spirit.
• 1:13:35
  So any other thing that must appear in your life
• 1:13:38
  must come from the realm of the Spirit. I can
• 1:13:40
  tell you the truth my life today that in order
• 1:13:46
  of priority, the richest advantage in my life is not
• 1:13:50
  anything physical. In fact, I don't trust things that are physical.
• 1:13:55
  The greatest advantage in my life today is my relationship
• 1:13:59
  and my experience with God. That is the commodity and
• 1:14:02
  the product that is worth dying for. No matter what
• 1:14:07
  else you lose. The honor that you have only comes
• 1:14:14
  because He was there, and he's there. The lifting that
• 1:14:18
  you have, everything that happens in your life. I would
• 1:14:23
  be foolish today to tread my experience with God for
• 1:14:27
  more ministerial doors, trede my experience with God for no, no, no,
• 1:14:32
  no no. I would keep learning.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: I learned leadership.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: I trade myself, but not at the detriment of the
• 1:14:39
  world of God. My first call in this leadership session
• 1:14:43
  go back to the place of your spiritual foundation. I
• 1:14:47
  don't care what kind of business you do. I don't
• 1:14:50
  care if you are an administrator. You need to be
• 1:14:53
  able to build capacity, a deep and a rich experience
• 1:14:58
  with God that would now give with the stamina to
• 1:15:01
  rise in your name, we will rise. I don't know.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: Uray see your name, we will rise.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: You may have heard me say it in my teachings
• 1:15:33
  that the Lord told me. He said, son, if you
• 1:15:36
  will let men see me, there is nothing I will
• 1:15:40
  not give you. As at that time God told me
• 1:15:44
  that thing. I didn't have anything more, ladies and gentlemen, nothing,
• 1:15:50
  but I said, even if you never give me anything,
• 1:15:53
  my life is committed to revealing you. Do you love
• 1:16:00
  him more than your business? Don't just say yes. Because
• 1:16:07
  God likes these kind of questions. He will test it.
• 1:16:11
  Do you love him? If God asks you to shot
• 1:16:15
  your business for one month? You know how much you
• 1:16:17
  make per day, and God says for me, shut it
• 1:16:20
  down and spend one month, will you bind and cast
• 1:16:23
  that voice and say, God cannot speak like this, not
• 1:16:25
  after what he knows happened to be last year. The
• 1:16:30
  jealousy of God demands that He becomes the epi center
• 1:16:34
  of your Christian experience, not one of the many important things.
• 1:16:38
  Please listen cheerfully. God demands that He becomes the epicenter
• 1:16:43
  of your experience. May God forgive me from lying. But
• 1:16:50
  I've searched my life. I do not know if there
• 1:16:54
  is anything in my life today that I cannot give God.
• 1:16:58
  Like I said, it is by God's grace and messy,
• 1:17:02
  but as first I know, and you wouldn't believe how
• 1:17:07
  many things have laid down to speak like this. When
• 1:17:13
  you see God doing great things with men, remember this
• 1:17:17
  minis last conference is to show you the inner workings
• 1:17:20
  of the results you see. You don't just stand and
• 1:17:23
  say God power is going to tach somebody. You are
• 1:17:26
  not a HAPPI list, even a happil list, go and
• 1:17:28
  ask them they have levels. There are habil lists that
• 1:17:30
  are failures. It doesn't mean that your's because you are
• 1:17:32
  serving the devil you are successful. It's still the same
• 1:17:35
  rule of consecration and debt. Have a lists are in levels.
• 1:17:39
  There are those that you go to and need to
• 1:17:41
  still not work because they don't even know the devil.
• 1:17:45
  Are we together now? So just because it is set
• 1:17:52
  and you are saving does not guarantee results. No, you
• 1:17:56
  need to know the devil. Trip enough still text this
• 1:18:00
  relationship by talking about.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: I have searched and searched all the earth, searched and
• 1:18:14
  searched all the.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 6: Earth Handfam that Babu Necamer.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: I have searched and searched all the earth, searched and
• 1:18:29
  searched all the.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 6: Earth, and fam that Baboe Neecomer.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: This song came to me early in the morning. I
• 1:18:40
  was in Cameroon and.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Just washiping the Lord very early in the morning, celebrating
• 1:18:46
  his greatness. And then this song came to my spirit.
• 1:18:55
  The house that part says, there is no one like you.
• 1:18:58
  That's what it means. I have searched. It took a
• 1:19:03
  long such to come to the conclusion that no one
• 1:19:06
  is worth my life. So don't tell me why are
• 1:19:09
  you so fanatical? I searched, and my loyalty to God
• 1:19:14
  is not in ignorance. I have options, but I checked
• 1:19:18
  is my loving him is a conclusion.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 5: Now you understand that I have searched and searched all
• 1:19:28
  the searched and searched all the Handfam that Ba Cammar, I.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: Have searched and searched all the search and searched all.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Their Handfam that.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 10: Cover.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: That's what the chorus says, Ba Camera co A.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: God is.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 10: Mama, gammer, gammer, Yes.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Ma, I will love him in life and I will
• 1:20:26
  love him in death. Call me Ceo. I am still
• 1:20:30
  the lover of God. Call me a business man. I
• 1:20:34
  am still the lover of God. Call me an apostle
• 1:20:37
  and a prophet. The no blessed title you can give
• 1:20:40
  me is the lover of God. For that is the
• 1:20:45
  realm where no eye has seen. That is the realm
• 1:20:48
  where no ear has heard. Neither has it come into
• 1:20:51
  the comprehension of men what God has installed. Not for
• 1:20:55
  them that preach, not for them that do business, not
• 1:20:58
  even for them that pray. The realm of lovers is
• 1:21:01
  the realm of a height that you cannot understand. Yes,
• 1:21:12
  hear me, this morning service came to turn you from
• 1:21:17
  a business man to a lover of God, from a
• 1:21:21
  man of God, a pastor to a lover of God.
• 1:21:27
  If this is all I achieved and were not able
• 1:21:29
  to touch any other thing within.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: The time left, it was a successful thing.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: My assignment is morning or afternoon, is not just to
• 1:21:37
  come and share with your leadership principles. You belong to
• 1:21:41
  an excellent church. Don't tell me you I Seeoh. Leave
• 1:21:46
  the issue of your container. Are you a lover of God?
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Leave the issue of your restaurant congratulations. Are you a
• 1:21:53
  lover of God? Leave the issue of the church that
• 1:21:55
  you have for a minute.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Forget about your congregation and your desire to build your charge,
• 1:22:01
  and your desire for more land, and your desire to
• 1:22:04
  find him.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, drawal that away.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: I have searched and searched all the searched, and searched
• 1:22:19
  all the and found that.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 5: I have searched and searched all the searched and searched,
• 1:22:37
  and found that.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: He said, bless the Lord, oh my soul.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: And forget not his benneft.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: Yummy.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: Most of us, as you are hearing me preach, you
• 1:22:55
  need to repent because most of us who prefer to
• 1:22:59
  be called the CEO of X y Z Conglomerate than
• 1:23:04
  to be called the lover of God. It looks like
• 1:23:07
  an insult. What is demeaning title? Give me something more
• 1:23:10
  superior that this big is standing among my pairs. For instance,
• 1:23:15
  he owns five conglomerates, he owns this, and that. He's
• 1:23:18
  a pilloneer, he's an intelligent person. Noble descriptions, but nothing
• 1:23:24
  comes close to the realm of love, because when everything failed,
• 1:23:27
  it was love that stood. When wisdom failed, love was
• 1:23:33
  still standing even when faith failed, love.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Was still standing.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, your leadership will be
• 1:23:42
  an ineffective leadership. God will not even give you an
• 1:23:45
  opportunity to scale the heights of influence until he knows
• 1:23:52
  that you love him and you are passionately addicted and
• 1:23:57
  connected to him. If I ever gave you any secret
• 1:24:02
  about my life and the privilege of the bits that
• 1:24:05
  God is doing with this man, this is it here.
• 1:24:09
  It is beyond the realm of prayer. It is beyond
• 1:24:12
  the realm of fasting. It is beyond the realm of
• 1:24:14
  Bible study. Go and ask God how much I love him,
• 1:24:19
  and you will know why He does what he does. Now,
• 1:24:22
  please listen when the first lady is not around here
• 1:24:30
  but yesterday, when your tans to finish introducing anybod everybody,
• 1:24:36
  even though she's far away, thousands of kilometers, he still
• 1:24:42
  took the time to give it description about her. Not
• 1:24:48
  given the man of God who came to preach made
• 1:24:50
  him forget his wife, Not given the dignitaries that came
• 1:24:54
  made him to forget his wife. He had to know her,
• 1:24:58
  and you celebrated her. There are some people it doesn't
• 1:25:02
  matter where they are. The jealousy of God keeps trailing
• 1:25:05
  them like a shadow because of the depth of their
• 1:25:08
  love for him. So while you're sleeping, someone is planning
• 1:25:14
  that this man and his children they should not leave
• 1:25:17
  to survive the end of twenty twenty two. God will
• 1:25:21
  not even allow you start praying about it. He takes
• 1:25:24
  that issue personal. Who did you say you want to kill?
• 1:25:29
  Did the Bible not say jealousy is the rage of
• 1:25:31
  a man. You want to know how angry man can be?
• 1:25:34
  You torch his wife. Most of us have not been
• 1:25:39
  able to secure the jealousy of heaven because your love
• 1:25:43
  for God is still in question. Can I tell you
• 1:25:47
  only God knows the arrows that fly by day against
• 1:25:50
  some of us, that noise some persilence. It is only
• 1:25:54
  when we get to Heaven will know the amount of
• 1:25:56
  things who have eaten that are poisons that should have
• 1:25:58
  killed us. No matter how intelligent you are, we see
• 1:26:02
  impact as far as the world of men is concerned.
• 1:26:06
  When men want to get you, only God can save you.
• 1:26:09
  So if you are standing is because there's something about
• 1:26:12
  your love.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: Listen to me.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: Any container that replaces God in your life is an idol.
• 1:26:20
  I don't care if his bibles that I decide anything
• 1:26:24
  that replaces God. Your business, the things you are importing
• 1:26:29
  and exporting, the restaurants that you have the leadership man
• 1:26:34
  of God. Do you know church can become an idol?
• 1:26:37
  Don't think just because it's a spiritual venture, church can
• 1:26:42
  become an idol. You don't care whether God is there
• 1:26:45
  or not. Your relationship with God can go places provided
• 1:26:49
  the religiosity of the activity is there. Do you love him?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: Don't think God is wasting your time this morning?
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Do you love him? Many of you have given your
• 1:27:05
  heart to people of lesser honor. You give your heart
• 1:27:10
  freely for people whose life you did not even verify.
• 1:27:13
  And here is someone who has assured you that he
• 1:27:16
  loves you, and you are still asking questions. Can I
• 1:27:18
  trust you with my hand?
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: Please hear me.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: There are rems of increase, there are rems of finances.
• 1:27:31
  I wish sometimes my heart boils to.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: One to give a few testimonies.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: But sometimes even when I give them, I listen to
• 1:27:37
  the message, I still feel guilty again.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: I said I shouldn't have said that.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: I should have just preached. I cannot begin to tell
• 1:27:44
  you the things that God has done in this life
• 1:27:47
  purely a love affair. When a man buys something and
• 1:27:55
  takes to his wife, it's not her bad days, not
• 1:28:00
  any anniversary, it's not whatever. He just buys the car
• 1:28:04
  and gives his wife, and she says, my husband, what
• 1:28:06
  is this for? He say, thank you for being my wife.
• 1:28:10
  You can't stand in anger and say, but this is
• 1:28:12
  not fair. Well, that's the blessing of taking the risk
• 1:28:15
  to be his wife. So when you see a man
• 1:28:19
  love the Lord like a faithful pride, don't say, why
• 1:28:22
  is God blessing this blessing? I can't remember him praying
• 1:28:25
  over this day? Why did God still answer? Because in
• 1:28:28
  the realm of lovers, anything is allowed. God can take
• 1:28:36
  a man's prayer request of ten years and give you.
• 1:28:39
  You can see a man whosted dimensions of grace and
• 1:28:42
  glory that does not seem to match your knowledge of him.
• 1:28:46
  It is the lover who gave him, not just the giver.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: A giver can.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: Give, But when a lover gives, he gives to reflect
• 1:28:55
  his love. I went together. I can give you ten
• 1:29:03
  nara as a giver. But when a husband gives to
• 1:29:06
  his wife, he does not give sparing, because the gift
• 1:29:11
  is supposed to communicate how much he loves her. After
• 1:29:18
  this meeting, you see some of you will go back
• 1:29:21
  and the things God begins to do in your life
• 1:29:24
  in addition to what you learned yesterday. People will ask
• 1:29:27
  you and say, come, what is it about you? Tell
• 1:29:33
  them you want to know why God does the things
• 1:29:34
  that he does. Find out my love for him. Don't
• 1:29:38
  just find out my service for him. Find out my love,
• 1:29:43
  not just my money, not just the things that I do,
• 1:29:47
  my love for him.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: I've seen what.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: God can do. Look, I have a lot of this,
• 1:29:51
  my wonderful children, and what in a budget and then Zaria.
• 1:29:56
  And sometimes when I travel and I'm with them after service,
• 1:30:00
  that's when they want short starts or they jump in
• 1:30:03
  their praying turns and do whatever. As soon as they
• 1:30:05
  say the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, they're lining
• 1:30:07
  up and waiting to hug me. And when they come
• 1:30:09
  to hug me, they don't care whether I'm tired, they
• 1:30:12
  don't care whether I've preached. That is their own service,
• 1:30:16
  and they hug and sometimes they ask me to bring
• 1:30:18
  my ears.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Now, can you imagine that.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: That's the implication of love. I bring my ears down,
• 1:30:26
  and they tell me I want bicycle or with confidence
• 1:30:33
  all my birthdays next week. Sometimes they write me letters,
• 1:30:36
  they mix all kinds of English and force me to
• 1:30:38
  read it. That is how far love can go. So
• 1:30:45
  two of you can do the same thing. It will
• 1:30:47
  look like God's first one and the other one is
• 1:30:50
  still remaining there because love created the exemption for another.
• 1:30:54
  Please hear me, return back to your love life. Any
• 1:30:59
  business I need charge, any ministry. Some of you may
• 1:31:02
  need to shut down a few ministrations and said, thank
• 1:31:06
  God for all the invite churches growing. But I need
• 1:31:08
  to shut down a bit and spend that time with
• 1:31:11
  him and say, the lover of my soul, I'm still here.
• 1:31:15
  That boy you carried is still there. I know today.
• 1:31:18
  They call me daddy, they call me m mog, they
• 1:31:21
  call me prophets, they call me apostle, they call me evangelist.
• 1:31:25
  But I have come to you, and God says you
• 1:31:28
  still remember, even after all this lifting, prepare for the
• 1:31:33
  next level.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: I just described myself for you. Prepare for the next level.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: So that when you think you have exhausted these people,
• 1:31:43
  it's all they've tried, you see a new layer of
• 1:31:47
  glory and graze and signed upon their life will be
• 1:31:51
  the lover of their soul. Allelujah. Well, wing to pray.
• 1:31:59
  Have about twenty minutes I will talk about something within
• 1:32:02
  that twenty minutes. We're going to judicious use our time.
• 1:32:06
  But for the next three or four minutes, you're going
• 1:32:08
  to cry, whether you want to go on your knees,
• 1:32:11
  whether you want to do whatever, you're going to say, Lord,
• 1:32:13
  forgive me. If I am to be sincere, I know
• 1:32:17
  that certain things have replaced you.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: They may not be that you are bad.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 10: I'm not.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: This is not a call to condemnation. It's a call
• 1:32:25
  to repentance, to say, Lord, you don't have to go
• 1:32:28
  on your needs or but whatever position is comfortable, We're
• 1:32:32
  going to pray. We're going to pray. We're going to pray,
• 1:32:39
  are going to pray. I don't know, Lamb of God, you.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: Are worthy.

  Speaker 2: Worthy of my pray.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: King keeps, Lord of Lords, let your kingdom ring.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 4: In my life.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: I love you, Lord, and I leave my voice to
• 1:33:27
  worship you.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, my soul, read joys, take joy.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: My keys, and watch you here.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Help me.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: We see sweet how.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: He Oh, somebody cry before the make I repent.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: O, Lord, I returned. I don't know when the passion
• 1:34:28
  for ministry took your place. I didn't even realize that
• 1:34:34
  this is how far I've feared off.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 13: Ah, cry cry, cry, cry, cry.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: Cry, Oh.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 14: You are my God.
• 1:35:08

  I belong to you. Total surrender, my heart, my life,
• 1:36:36
  my everything. You're not wasting your time, man of God.
• 1:36:40
  This is the secret to genuine power, more than just principles,
• 1:36:46
  your experience with God. For some of you, you need
• 1:36:50
  to repent. You have been distracted. You've feared off looking
• 1:36:55
  for many things.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 14: I will lay down my eyelos frons I am made.
• 1:37:16

  Speaker 19: Shave Alah, my son, He'm a shad, Shad can never.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Just a few more minutes were praying. There is a
• 1:39:40
  work of poging that God is doing in someone's life. Podging.
• 1:39:45
  God is podging, God is podging.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 15: How Hello.

  is not of God.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: Let the fire from your older.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: Let the fire from you, my son.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 3: Shay.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: While you're worshiping, God is sorting your business. While you're worshiping,
• 1:44:38
  God is arranging things for you. While you're worshiping, God
• 1:44:43
  is arranging the people who will come and sold the
• 1:44:45
  land for the church.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 13: Forget about the sorrow. Go ahead, something is.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: Happening here.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: My voice, leave that up.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 17: I will sing your praise my hands, leave tad, How
• 1:45:20
  will worship you?
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 5: You've taken the pain and the soul when you've even
• 1:45:32
  me be Sunday night.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: Now need to try because you're always leaping.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: You're my father, my heap, reading.

  Speaker 22: Wan any more, I don't be married, go ahead and
• 1:46:01
  watching his.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: Way. Lord, you chop my head away, and then you
• 1:46:10
  gave me joy.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: You're my piece, my melody in the center of the score.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: You gave me a pant song to the same jury.
• 1:46:22
  That's why I will rift off my force. Come on,
• 1:46:26
  stick to me, pa.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 7: Yea naked the pist and songle wink even be something nigh.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 22: Name.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: I command the restoration of your passion for God, a
• 1:47:11
  restoration of your passion for.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 4: Some of you.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: After this conference, you will start your own retreat with God.
• 1:47:18
  Because God is calling you. You may need to shut down.
• 1:47:22
  Even in the secular we have public holidays where you
• 1:47:25
  shut down things so that you can face family or
• 1:47:28
  ornor a national day or whatever it is. God is
• 1:47:33
  calling you.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: Man of God.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: By now you would have been a mighty prophet. By
• 1:47:37
  now your.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: Business would have gone around the world. But you have
• 1:47:40
  been searching for every other thing, and you ignore the
• 1:47:43
  lover of your soul. Get back to the place of
• 1:47:46
  the altar. Leave me at the altar with my father.
• 1:47:55
  Leave me at the altar with my father. Leave me
• 1:48:03
  and the answer my father. Listen you see until you
• 1:48:11
  understand the place of genuine love. It is the one
• 1:48:18
  secret I found, And when I found it, it was
• 1:48:22
  a master secret.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 4: Love.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love him, I love him, I love him.
• 1:48:30
  I can't tell you that you want to see God
• 1:48:38
  prosper you Second Chronicles twenty sixty five. For as long
• 1:48:44
  as he sought the Lord, the Lord made him. You
• 1:48:49
  can't try to make yourself vain. Is the help of man.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: The Lord made him to be the leading man of
• 1:48:56
  God within his city.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: The Lord made him. The Lord made The Lord made
• 1:49:01
  your products that all of a suddenly, within one month
• 1:49:06
  your product is what has been patronized all over and go,
• 1:49:09
  and people are saying, by what means a covenant happened?
• 1:49:14
  If a gentleman comes here right now, and by evening
• 1:49:18
  he returns back and tells you he's a billonaire, you
• 1:49:21
  will not tell him what did you do? You will
• 1:49:23
  say where did you go? Because this kind of wealth
• 1:49:26
  is not about what you have done. Again, there has
• 1:49:28
  to be a covenant that has produced this kind of speed.
• 1:49:32
  We're talking of sworrying. Some of you have lingered too long.
• 1:49:38
  That is where anger and jealousy and pain and petty
• 1:49:41
  things come from. You can allow the lover to lift you,
• 1:49:47
  and you will find yourself sorry in dimensions. You'll never
• 1:49:51
  imagine this is my life. Sit down for five minutes.
• 1:49:57
  Let me introduce something to you, and then will rap on.
• 1:50:02
  Just leave those or not the anointing, Leave them to
• 1:50:04
  have their time with God. The conference is like a
• 1:50:08
  retreat for some of you. Help us to love you,
• 1:50:31
  help us to live for you. May we never match
• 1:50:36
  you with business. May we never match you with church.
• 1:50:43
  May we never match you with annointing. Prayer is not God.
• 1:50:48
  Prayer is only there because there is God. First thing
• 1:50:52
  is not God. First thing is only necessary because there
• 1:50:55
  is God. Bible study is not God. God is not
• 1:50:59
  a page. He is alive.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: All and everything points to Him.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: And when your life fails and ceases two points to him.
• 1:51:09
  You are then in trouble. Let me introduce just one
• 1:51:21
  more concept. Probhaps Chapter thirteen, verse twenty. I told all this,
• 1:51:32
  and we're done. I spoke about the debt and the
• 1:51:36
  richness of your experience with God. Perhaps thirteen thirteen and
• 1:51:44
  verse twenty. Just one last word thirteen and twenty. Please
• 1:51:50
  give it to us one three and to zero. Perhaps
• 1:51:54
  thirteen and verse twenty. Let's read together if you can
• 1:51:58
  see it ready, want to read. He that worketh with
• 1:52:03
  wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools
• 1:52:09
  shall be destroyed.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: Please read it one more time.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: He that worketh with wise men shall be wise, but
• 1:52:17
  a companion of foods.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: The Bible tells us very clearly from p.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: One fifteen and verse sixteen. I believe some one one
• 1:52:28
  five and verse sixteen. It says the highest heavens or
• 1:52:31
  the heaven of heavens, belong to the Lord.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: But the earth has he given to the children of men.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: That means, when it has to do with functioning in
• 1:52:43
  the earth the cosmos, this is the world of men,
• 1:52:48
  even though owned by God. Listen carefully. If you do
• 1:52:52
  not understand this, your leadership will fail. I just needed
• 1:52:55
  to introduce this. Even though the earth is the Lord,
• 1:53:00
  listen carefully. The steaward of the earth is man. The
• 1:53:06
  owner of the earth is the Lord's. That means for
• 1:53:10
  you to excel in life, you must know both the
• 1:53:13
  owner and the steaward Are we together?
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 4: Now? Yes?
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: Most of us here rent houses and usually you don't
• 1:53:22
  have the privilege of seeing the owner or knowing the owner.
• 1:53:25
  Accepting a few instances, there usually is someone between the
• 1:53:28
  owner and the tenant called the caretaker.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: And the caretaker has been mandated by the owner to
• 1:53:35
  protect his interest as far as that business is concerned.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: Am I correct on that?
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: So it is the caretaker who does all the negotiations,
• 1:53:44
  the paperwork and whatever it is.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: In fact, there are times that.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: The owner can be overseas, and then there is a
• 1:53:50
  caretaker who manages his estate. The Bible tells us that
• 1:53:56
  the earth that we function in belongs to the Lord.
• 1:53:59
  Some to it before, but some one is saying the
• 1:54:03
  stewardship of the earth is in the hands of man.
• 1:54:07
  That means whatever happens in the earth is not a
• 1:54:09
  reflection of the power of God, is a reflection of
• 1:54:13
  the faithful steawardship or the mismanagement of that caretaker. If
• 1:54:18
  you do not have this wisdom understanding about the cosmos,
• 1:54:21
  you can be spiritual and you will still fail. This
• 1:54:25
  world is the world of men. Allelujah. When God put
• 1:54:33
  man in the garden, he gave him stewardship, and even
• 1:54:37
  when he saw him failing, he still honored his decision.
• 1:54:40
  That is how faithful God is. That means it is
• 1:54:45
  possible for God to speak excellent things over your life,
• 1:54:49
  your churche, your business, your state, and yet you do
• 1:54:53
  not see God manifest on that wise because we do
• 1:54:56
  not understand the dynamics of excelling it cosmos. Every time
• 1:55:01
  I talk to leaders, if I have one thing to
• 1:55:04
  teach them, is this understanding of men. Yesterday we began
• 1:55:10
  to discuss and at time is gone, so I'm just
• 1:55:13
  going to touch it, and then we're done on being
• 1:55:17
  helped by God. And I did teach you that there
• 1:55:20
  are three expressions of the help of God. Number one
• 1:55:24
  is the ministry of messy. Number two is.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 4: The gift of men.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: That means every time God wants to help an individual
• 1:55:36
  and help a leader, he introduces you to men. The
• 1:55:41
  Bible says, what is man that thou art mindful of?
• 1:55:45
  Not the son of man that thou visitest him? You
• 1:55:48
  find that in some aid, he says, for thou hast
• 1:55:50
  made him lower than elo him, you have crowned him
• 1:55:54
  with glory and honor. You have set him over the
• 1:55:57
  works of your hands, he brules. Chapter two Paul, he
• 1:56:00
  gives a clearer perspective to some aid, and he says,
• 1:56:02
  you have set him over the works of hands, and
• 1:56:06
  in doing so, you did not leave anything that was
• 1:56:08
  not under his feet. You have to appreciate that mankind.
• 1:56:14
  Listen carefully. The human's fichi is the senate of God's creation.
• 1:56:20
  That means God bound himself with a covenant that every
• 1:56:24
  time he has to function in the earth, he will
• 1:56:27
  need a man to work in partnership with him. He
• 1:56:30
  can do without a man, but he has so chosen
• 1:56:34
  by his predeterminate counsel to not walk outside of men.
• 1:56:39
  So the world is the world of men. I don't
• 1:56:45
  have time I would have described for you the condition
• 1:56:49
  to be a man, because to be a man you
• 1:56:52
  first have to be a spirit. If you are not
• 1:56:55
  a spirit, you cannot be a man. Are we together now?
• 1:56:59
  Every man is first a spirit, But a spirit a
• 1:57:03
  lord cannot be called man. You have to be a
• 1:57:06
  spirit that is hosted in a physical body. There are
• 1:57:14
  all kinds of bodies, but the only body that makes
• 1:57:18
  an individual to be called man is a physical body.
• 1:57:21
  And then midwife in that spirit, and that body is
• 1:57:25
  your mental faculty. Thank you.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: Are we together now?
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Yes? So there are many spirits. Angels cannot be called men.
• 1:57:37
  Their spirits, but they do not have our bodies. With
• 1:57:42
  our configuration is not given to them. Animals have physical bodies,
• 1:57:48
  but they do not have spirits. You cannot call animals men.
• 1:57:53
  You need to understand who God gave the hearth to.
• 1:57:55
  God did not give the heath to goats or whatever
• 1:57:59
  it is. Water is physical, but you cannot call what
• 1:58:02
  a man.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: Even though water moves like man, you can hear the
• 1:58:08
  sound like man. So when it has to do with
• 1:58:11
  excelling in the earth, if.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: You understand your business and you do not understand men,
• 1:58:18
  you will fail. The first product you need to understand
• 1:58:23
  is man, second only to your understanding of God. The
• 1:58:28
  moment you understand God, as far as leadership and influence
• 1:58:33
  and excellence is concerned, you must understand man. Every trouble
• 1:58:40
  on X today came because of man. The salvation that
• 1:58:45
  we have received came from a man, The man called Jesus.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: Are we together, the one who purchased salvation for us?
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: He did not purchase salvation as a Speedit no, he
• 1:59:01
  had to become a man to come and die as
• 1:59:04
  a man, mentor as a man, resurrected as a man.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: And is today seated at the right hand of the Father.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: As a man. The reason why we know Jesus is
• 1:59:16
  coming is because he left with his body. He doesn't
• 1:59:19
  need another body to return. The assurance of his coming
• 1:59:23
  is because when he left, he left with his body,
• 1:59:26
  so he has satisfied the condition that still gives him
• 1:59:29
  allowance into the world of men. The first time, he
• 1:59:33
  could not just come because he never had a physical body,
• 1:59:37
  so he needed to go through the level of finding
• 1:59:39
  a virgin, waiting for a virgin, and then you know,
• 1:59:42
  being incubited in a stomach.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: For nine months.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: But this time around, he can come any time because
• 1:59:48
  he does not need a body again. Now watch this,
• 1:59:53
  Everything that happens on earth happens to men. You may
• 1:59:59
  have heard me that all blessings come from God through
• 2:00:04
  men to men. All troubles come from Satan through men
• 2:00:10
  to men. Societies are transformed because of the presence of men.
• 2:00:15
  Societies are destroyed because of the presence of men. Evangelism
• 2:00:20
  happens because of the presence of men. Leadership happens territorially speaking,
• 2:00:26
  because of the presence of men. The reason why some
• 2:00:29
  nations are called third world and others are called first
• 2:00:32
  world is because of men. It's not the seas that
• 2:00:36
  make them first world or whatever it is. The battle
• 2:00:40
  on Earth today is for the hearts and the minds
• 2:00:44
  of men. I hope you know. The battle on earth
• 2:00:47
  is not for gold. The battle on earth is not
• 2:00:50
  for oil. Listen, the battle on earth is not even
• 2:00:53
  for territory. The greatest battle on Earth is who captures
• 2:00:58
  the heart and the minds of men. The reason why
• 2:01:07
  your bank is functioning right now is because of men.
• 2:01:13
  The reason why you want to build a business right
• 2:01:16
  now is because there are men in Nygo.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: If you live anugo with goods alone and you are
• 2:01:21
  the only human.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: Being, even if the banks and the oils and everything
• 2:01:25
  are left, you cannot do business. Are you saying that
• 2:01:29
  everything literally happens because of men. Isn't it interesting that
• 2:01:35
  everything happens because of men, and yet most people learn
• 2:01:40
  every other thing but man. They do not know about men,
• 2:01:44
  but they know about business. The opening school why are
• 2:01:50
  you opening schools? Because you know people who keep giving
• 2:01:53
  beds and their children will go to school. Your business
• 2:01:56
  literally is founded on that philosophy that the present of
• 2:02:00
  men guarantees the continuity of your business. Some of you
• 2:02:03
  who have stares here, if you have a bab in saloon,
• 2:02:08
  why do you open a barb in saloon? Because there
• 2:02:11
  are humans and even when you caught the hair to
• 2:02:13
  still grow back, you cat it. You literally build a
• 2:02:16
  business around that information. Why does your restaurant and your
• 2:02:21
  mouths strive? They thrive because of men. It is men
• 2:02:25
  that eat the meal and they will go to toilet
• 2:02:29
  and then return back again. So if they buy your
• 2:02:32
  pack your bag of rice today, you tell him see
• 2:02:35
  you next time. That statement is predicated on the information
• 2:02:40
  that you are a man. There is something about you
• 2:02:44
  that my business is built upon. Imagine if we at
• 2:02:47
  once and never had to eat again, farming will be useless,
• 2:02:52
  Manufacturing will be useless, production will be useless. It is
• 2:02:56
  because you know that someday this cloth I am wearing
• 2:02:59
  is to go through wear and tear. You literally, based
• 2:03:03
  on that information your beauty business around it. In one word,
• 2:03:09
  business is the ministry of men. Listen carefully, Please don't
• 2:03:17
  think I don't know what I'm saying. Business is not
• 2:03:20
  the ministry of bottles. Business is not the ministry of containers.
• 2:03:25
  Business is not the ministry of cars. Business is not
• 2:03:28
  the ministry of schools. Business is the ministry of men.
• 2:03:33
  Every other product that you call business is only a
• 2:03:36
  midwife the final consumer. He said, man, So if you
• 2:03:41
  know your product and you do not know the man.
• 2:03:44
  The reason why you clean your chairs very early in
• 2:03:47
  the morning, those who cleaned this beautiful church. When you
• 2:03:50
  came here early the morning, probably there was no one,
• 2:03:53
  or maybe a few people, and yet you had the
• 2:03:55
  confidence to set the stage because you knew that men
• 2:03:57
  would come. Imagine if you saw just coming maybe thirty
• 2:04:03
  of them, would you say, you're welcome. God bless you
• 2:04:05
  find a place to see it. No, cows are physical things,
• 2:04:10
  but that's not what you are looking for men. Any
• 2:04:16
  leader who does not understand men is going to fail
• 2:04:20
  as a pastor, as a business man. The reason why
• 2:04:24
  most of us do not excel in our influence and
• 2:04:27
  our leadership is because we took our time to study
• 2:04:30
  any other thing and every other thing, and we ignore men,
• 2:04:35
  the zenith of God's creation. If God is going to
• 2:04:39
  lift you, it will come through men. Relationships are the
• 2:04:46
  most expensive commodities on earth. Relationships. There are watches that
• 2:04:53
  are very expensive. People will pride and say, I'm using
• 2:04:56
  a Rolex watch. I bought it five million irand and
• 2:05:01
  look at it has diamond crested in it. And yet
• 2:05:05
  they do not know that relationships are of inestimable value.
• 2:05:09
  You are. I always pray for my people, and let
• 2:05:13
  me extend that prayer for you. May you never be
• 2:05:15
  so poor that the only thing you have is money.
• 2:05:22
  May you never be so poor that the only thing
• 2:05:26
  you have is money, Because if the only thing you
• 2:05:30
  have are not in your house, you are not wealthy.
• 2:05:36
  The real honor of a man is not in his acquisitions.
• 2:05:39
  The Bible says in the multitude of men is a
• 2:05:43
  king's honor. That means your relationships represent the highest index
• 2:05:50
  of your wealth. The degree to which you are connected
• 2:05:54
  to strategic relationships that provide a leverage to your destiny
• 2:05:58
  is the measure of your wealth. Money only comes to
• 2:06:01
  you through relationships. It will take a hand exchanging to
• 2:06:05
  bring wealth to you. Now, please listen. If you do
• 2:06:08
  not understand this, you will fail in life. Destiny fulfillment
• 2:06:14
  is impossible without relationships. I am here right now in
• 2:06:18
  this lovely church because of a relationship, a relationship that
• 2:06:22
  started in Nairobi, Kenya, but has been maintained so greatly. Relationships.
• 2:06:29
  As busy as I am, there are people who if
• 2:06:32
  they demand my attention, I will respond almost instantly because
• 2:06:37
  of the power of relationships. There are people today who
• 2:06:41
  did not have to do much in terms of business.
• 2:06:43
  They invested diligently in their relationships and their relationship.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: They did not even start as business people.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: They started as wise people because they worked with the
• 2:06:53
  wise and the end of their pursuit was a business
• 2:06:56
  and influence politicians. On the stand this, you find out
• 2:07:01
  somebody would never had the intention to be a governor
• 2:07:04
  or a senator. He only followed wise people. And as
• 2:07:08
  he followed wise people, he started evolving to a version
• 2:07:11
  of himself that you now call a leader. Jesus said,
• 2:07:15
  follow me and I will make you. He never gave
• 2:07:19
  them any promises that you will be called apostles. He
• 2:07:21
  never gave them any promise that you'll be miracle workers.
• 2:07:24
  He said, follow me and I will make you. Through
• 2:07:27
  that relationship he produced those we call apostles who turned
• 2:07:32
  the world upside down. Listen to me. Relationships are currencies.
• 2:07:39
  They can buy anything. Money can buy anything, money can buy,
• 2:07:44
  relationships can buy. The easiest way to succeed in life
• 2:07:49
  is through relationships and destiny connections. You may have heard
• 2:07:55
  me say it in my teaching that who hates you
• 2:07:57
  does not matter, but who likes you matters. Truly, who
• 2:08:02
  likes you matters. There are people who can make things
• 2:08:07
  happen for others because of the strength of relationships. I
• 2:08:14
  know people who got jobs after praying for jobs for three,
• 2:08:18
  five six years. In less than one hour, one relationship
• 2:08:22
  brought the job for them. I know people who got
• 2:08:25
  land to pure the church. There is no true story
• 2:08:28
  of success that is not connected to relationships. The anointing
• 2:08:33
  that a man receives in his life is based on relationship.
• 2:08:37
  We just graduated our School of Ministry students on Sunday
• 2:08:41
  Glorious Program, And while I was praying for these people,
• 2:08:44
  I was looking at them, and my heart reached for compassion.
• 2:08:47
  I said, look at what relationships can do. There are
• 2:08:51
  people who have no business been wealthy, except that they
• 2:08:55
  were around wealthy people and it became unfair for them
• 2:08:57
  to remain in that state. There are people who are
• 2:09:01
  no business being anointed but they were around anointed people,
• 2:09:06
  and it became unfair for them to remain at that level.
• 2:09:09
  If I see where you are, it is a reflection
• 2:09:13
  of your relationships. He that works with the wise shall
• 2:09:18
  be wise himself, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
• 2:09:24
  The man does not want to be destroyed, but he's
• 2:09:27
  associated with people who are vulnerable to destruction, and the
• 2:09:31
  end of it is that person is destroyed himself. He
• 2:09:36
  that works with the wealthy shall be wealthy. He that
• 2:09:40
  works with the anointed shall be anointed. He that works
• 2:09:43
  with intelligent people shall be intelligent. Here that works with
• 2:09:47
  the godly shall be godly. That means anything you want
• 2:09:52
  to become, find those who already are. That is your
• 2:09:55
  chance of becoming it. You want to become a man
• 2:09:59
  of God doing ministry with the dignity of kingdom integrity.
• 2:10:03
  You cannot have that hanging around people who compromises like
• 2:10:07
  their second name. They don't have any regard for other
• 2:10:10
  and spiritual things. You want to become someone of character,
• 2:10:14
  a great leader and a visionary man. There are people
• 2:10:17
  who are great people, but all their friends are drunkards.
• 2:10:21
  All their friends are on serious people, And then they
• 2:10:24
  say it doesn't matter.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 4: Not like them yet.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: You are not like them, yet You're on your way becoming.
• 2:10:34
  A child does not know he's a child till he
• 2:10:36
  becomes an adult. It's when the child becomes an adult
• 2:10:40
  he say, oh, I was a child. So the drunkard
• 2:10:44
  does not know he's becoming a drunkard till he turns
• 2:10:46
  later on and friends out that, oh, I'm only doing five.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: Now, listen to me.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: Most people have not learned the power of protecting destinies
• 2:11:01
  by surrounding themselves with quality, godly people.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: You may have heard me say in my teachings. If
• 2:11:07
  there are five foolish.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: People around you, you didn't count well, there are six.
• 2:11:15
  If there are five prayer warriors around you, you did
• 2:11:18
  not count well, there are six.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: If there are.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: Five visionary people around you, you did not count well,
• 2:11:25
  there are six. You are always a reflection of the
• 2:11:29
  company that you keep, even in business. Come on, I'm
• 2:11:33
  in the east here, and you know there are times
• 2:11:35
  that you pass the streets that sell electronics. There are
• 2:11:39
  ten shops all selling the same thing, and you think,
• 2:11:42
  because of the presence of one, they will fail, and
• 2:11:44
  yet they will alsoucceed because sometimes you will not find
• 2:11:47
  a product in one place, and the other one will
• 2:11:49
  lead you to another shop where you will get it,
• 2:11:52
  and he's still happy that you got it because you
• 2:11:54
  will come back for your sake. Please sear me if
• 2:12:01
  you are to live a qualitative destiny in this end time,
• 2:12:05
  go ahead to begin to select quality people.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: You must understand the power of men and how to
• 2:12:13
  relate with men.
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: If you do not understand relationships, you will not rise
• 2:12:18
  past or if you do not understand relationships, you can
• 2:12:21
  be anointed, and you will be surprised that your work
• 2:12:24
  will remain small business man, you may never be able
• 2:12:27
  to scale heights and go global.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: It takes more than being anointed.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 4: The gift of men is.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: One of the ways that God helps men to solve.
• 2:12:38
  Are we together? There are many things you need to
• 2:12:41
  know about men. You need to understand the vulnerabilities of men.
• 2:12:45
  You need to understand the inconsistencies of men. You need
• 2:12:49
  to also understand the different kinds of men we have
• 2:12:52
  in our world. You have to understand the kinds of
• 2:12:55
  relationships that are available. For instance, there are general relationships.
• 2:13:00
  The Bible mandates that we treat everyone with love and caution.
• 2:13:04
  You go out in the morning and you meet people
• 2:13:06
  general relationships, there are seasonal relationships, relationships that come to
• 2:13:13
  your life for a season. The key to maximizing those
• 2:13:16
  relationships is discernmant to receive what they have to deliver
• 2:13:20
  to you first before your expiry time. Then there are
• 2:13:25
  confidant or destiny relationships. These are relationships that connect directly,
• 2:13:30
  not just to where you are going, but the final journey.
• 2:13:33
  No matter what you need to do, you have to
• 2:13:36
  protect those relationships. For instance, your relationship with the Lord
• 2:13:41
  Jesus Christ. It can be a general relationship, it can
• 2:13:45
  be a seasonal relationship. Your relationship with the Lord Jesus
• 2:13:48
  Christ is not even a covenant relationship. It is your
• 2:13:50
  life that means whatever goes wrong in that relationship, you
• 2:13:55
  have to humble yourself and swallow your prime and press.
• 2:14:01
  Most people do not understand the power of relationships. We
• 2:14:06
  keep receiving prophetic words, but relationships destroy our potential for
• 2:14:12
  growth and scaling heights.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 2: I want to make a statement and then I wrap up.
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: Our father that your new bogle, this great man is
• 2:14:23
  eighty three eighty four. Do you know one time Daddy
• 2:14:28
  traveled down to Coynonia just to come and visit and worship.
• 2:14:31
  And I said, this man is about eighty four years old.
• 2:14:35
  What is this man coming to do when he can
• 2:14:37
  follow online and not that it was any special program.
• 2:14:40
  And I looked at this man and I said, at
• 2:14:43
  this age, relationships, relationships are investments. If you tell me
• 2:14:50
  today that is not feeling fine or something is wrong,
• 2:14:54
  I can cancel a meeting to come and honor him
• 2:14:56
  for his health. And don't say, ay, it's unfair. No,
• 2:15:00
  don't demand a level of my attention in a relationship
• 2:15:03
  you have not invested in. You see, Oh dear, there
• 2:15:09
  are many people who are demanding. It is fraud to
• 2:15:13
  demand a returns from it. You can't put one mirror
• 2:15:17
  and want one million. No, there are people that have
• 2:15:24
  not made any meaningful investment and contributions in their lives.
• 2:15:29
  It would be for me to demand certain levels of
• 2:15:32
  their time, their resources, their attention.
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 2: I have not made that kind of investment in their lives.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: You can't give God ten minutes and want the global ministry.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 4: That is unfair.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? Your pastor?
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes he travels down and we just come and worship
• 2:15:56
  and share fellowship, and he lives and I'm saying, my God,
• 2:15:59
  look at this. There are things that people do in
• 2:16:02
  my life that make me become indebted to them. There
• 2:16:07
  are times that people say, oh, Apostle, you've been We
• 2:16:09
  are trying to call you. We cannot get you. But
• 2:16:12
  so social person said, they called, and you answered, I apologize.
• 2:16:16
  It's not injustice. It's called returns on investment. Are we
• 2:16:26
  together now as a man of God? While everybody is
• 2:16:31
  trying to look for you for annoying? Somebody is asking
• 2:16:33
  have you eating? Are you okay?
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 2: It's God helping you. When that person is crying, will
• 2:16:39
  you keep quiet?
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: If your business has not blessed anybody, you didn't raise anybody.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 2: Yesterday Reverend was.
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: Talking about the dear woman of God who helped him
• 2:16:57
  and all the things that she did. You can imagine
• 2:17:01
  if for any reason she needs help, Reverend will get
• 2:17:05
  up and say, once it is within my power, I
• 2:17:07
  will go all the way. Listen, life is hard for
• 2:17:10
  many people because they have not received the gift of men.
• 2:17:14
  You have not seen men as a gift? Are we together?
• 2:17:19
  Every time you see usual results, I can tell you
• 2:17:23
  among the many dynamics is the ministry of men. The
• 2:17:28
  ministry of men, the ministry of men. Some of you.
• 2:17:35
  There is nobody in your life today right now who
• 2:17:38
  can give you money and don't mean alone. You can
• 2:17:43
  just say, look, I think I need to sort out something.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: You are in trouble.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: You are alone except God shows you messy. It is dangerous.
• 2:17:55
  You are living in a risk. Are we together? Who
• 2:17:59
  loves you right now? Now enough to say, over my
• 2:18:03
  dead body to see this person cry? Have you impacted
• 2:18:07
  somebody's life that much for you to mean so much
• 2:18:10
  to them? There are people today, even if they go
• 2:18:14
  to be with the Lord, they will go rejoicing because
• 2:18:16
  the investments they have made in men has secured the
• 2:18:19
  destiny of their children to the third and to the
• 2:18:22
  fourth generation. There are many people who tell you what
• 2:18:28
  are you doing? I mean in real estate? What are
• 2:18:30
  you doing?
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 2: Manufacturing? What are you doing? Importation and export?
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Maintaining relationships? That is my stream
• 2:18:38
  of income? Not I'm not talking about myself. In Lord,
• 2:18:42
  it will take a foolish person to laugh at you
• 2:18:44
  as ah, you mean, are you kidding me? That is
• 2:18:48
  an investment that does not fail. It never fails because
• 2:18:58
  you get well here from capital appreciation. As the person rises,
• 2:19:03
  he will bless you to honor his perception of your relationship.
• 2:19:08
  Is someone learning now because there are many of you
• 2:19:10
  who can destroy men because of your products.
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 2: It does not matter. I will push anybody. It is
• 2:19:16
  my business.
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: You are about to crash land. It takes the ministry
• 2:19:21
  of men. When you see me, honor the fathers. When
• 2:19:25
  you see me love the people. It's not from a
• 2:19:26
  selfish standpoint. I love them sincerely. But I know.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 2: One recommendation from a man who loves you can open
• 2:19:35
  the next ten years of your life.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: And then one word of caution from a man of
• 2:19:40
  influence who has a problem with you can close a
• 2:19:43
  door that was once open. Some of you, there are
• 2:19:45
  doors that are closed right now. It's not demons that
• 2:19:48
  close them. They were closed by men. Someone said be careful.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 2: And that's it.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: Twenty administrations closed because one person said be careful. I
• 2:19:57
  can't vouch for him. That's it. You were in the
• 2:20:02
  process of a contract and they said, listen, five billion
• 2:20:05
  is involved here. Do you trust these people as well?
• 2:20:08
  I trust this too. I can't speak for this, and
• 2:20:11
  that's it. By the next day, you wake up after
• 2:20:13
  dancing and they tell you it will not work. The
• 2:20:15
  problem was not your skill. The problem was not your value.
• 2:20:19
  The problem was that you ignore the ministry of men.
• 2:20:23
  Own believers understand what I'm teaching you. Own believers have
• 2:20:27
  mastered the art of building ladder's true relationships. You would
• 2:20:32
  hear me say, it's in my teachings that a man
• 2:20:35
  would travel from America to Nigeria to attend the betterest
• 2:20:39
  ceremony of a CEO's daughter who is two years old.
• 2:20:43
  Is she his friend? Please? Have you not seen people
• 2:20:49
  travel to attend weddings of certain people. You know a
• 2:20:53
  man who is busy, so busy he flew from Australia
• 2:20:57
  America to attend a better a wedding ceremony of a
• 2:21:03
  little care or a little boy. It's more than that
• 2:21:06
  they're registering their investments. I had the opportunity to pray
• 2:21:14
  one time for one of the governors when he became
• 2:21:17
  a governor, you know the Thanksgiving service. I was there
• 2:21:20
  to preach somewhere, and then it happened that it was
• 2:21:22
  his Thanksgiving service, and I saw people who would never
• 2:21:25
  have come to church, never not even near the gates
• 2:21:28
  of church. They were there. I said, what are these
• 2:21:30
  people doing here? Christians, Muslims, non have a list non traditionalist.
• 2:21:36
  I mean people were there and I said, you see,
• 2:21:38
  everybody understands this except the church.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 2: That is the reason why we remain down.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 4: Lort.
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: If you are a righteous man, and you are in
• 2:21:48
  the midst of a righteous man, you are still not safe.
• 2:21:52
  Your personal righteousness may not deliver you from Sodom and Gomorah.
• 2:21:56
  You will need Abraham to come and help you. Are
• 2:22:02
  we together? My charge for you, therefore is you.
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 2: As you take.
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: Inventory of the various things that you have, begin to
• 2:22:15
  ask yourself, how many useful relationships have I invested in
• 2:22:19
  in my life today that can provide a leverage. Some
• 2:22:23
  of you are in discharge right now. If you cry,
• 2:22:26
  there is nobody who can answer, because your attitude and
• 2:22:30
  your disposition towards men. Once people are not rich, you
• 2:22:33
  don't have any business with them. You continue that way,
• 2:22:36
  you'll be in trouble. I wish I had the time,
• 2:22:39
  I would have taught you the culture of dealing with relationships.
• 2:22:45
  It is a principle I've mastered in my life. It
• 2:22:48
  is not all about annointing valuable relationships. Two keys to
• 2:22:54
  maintaining relationships. Number one is honored. Honor is the discerning
• 2:23:03
  the celebrating and the appreciating of men for their uniqueness.
• 2:23:09
  You cannot be able to maintain quality relationships that translate
• 2:23:13
  into an excelling life until you understand honor. Let me
• 2:23:18
  give you one last one, number two. The second key
• 2:23:22
  that you need to be able to maintain relationships is
• 2:23:27
  your value and your contribution. No relationship will be committed
• 2:23:31
  to you indefinitely if you are not adding to it.
• 2:23:35
  Most of us are very parasitic in our relationships. You
• 2:23:39
  only expect people to do things for you. The moment
• 2:23:42
  you come you say, I'm looking at you, You've not
• 2:23:44
  done anything for me. No nobody remembers those who take.
• 2:23:49
  We only remember people who give edge the memory of
• 2:23:53
  your presence in the life of people by contributing, whether
• 2:23:57
  it is your value, your prayer. There's a group of
• 2:24:01
  women who pray for me all the time. I will
• 2:24:03
  never forget them, no matter how busy I am, because
• 2:24:06
  I love them. But because of the depth of their
• 2:24:09
  contribution to my life, I can't forget them. I remember
• 2:24:13
  the people who have added and continue to add to
• 2:24:16
  my life. There's no guarantee that I will remember everybody.
• 2:24:19
  Even in a church like this, you will find out
• 2:24:22
  that sometimes men of God seem to tilt towards others
• 2:24:24
  than others. It's not being unfair. They are tilting towards
• 2:24:29
  the area that provides them value. If I know that
• 2:24:32
  you are valuable, you are useful to my life. As
• 2:24:35
  far as supporting what I represent is concern, I will
• 2:24:39
  place priority upon you. One prayer, Father, grant me the
• 2:24:44
  grace to receive the gift of men into my life.
• 2:24:49
  To see men as an answered prayer, not as a lord.
• 2:24:54
  Go ahead and pray, grant me the grace to receive
• 2:24:58
  the gift of men. The Lord helps us by bringing
• 2:25:05
  to our lives the gift of men. Relationships are powerful,
• 2:25:09
  they are irrefutable without men. There is no business without men.
• 2:25:13
  There is no ministry without men. There is no rising
• 2:25:16
  in all your learning. Learn men in all your getting,
• 2:25:20
  Get men in all your investing, investing men in all
• 2:25:25
  your receiving.
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 2: Receive the ministry of men. In all your praying, pray
• 2:25:31
  for men.
