  Let it rain, let it rain. Let it rain, Let it rain.

  Hallelujah. Please ask the Lord for an
• 1:11
  encounter tonight. Lord, open my eyes and give me a
• 1:15
  destiny altering encounter even by your spirit, someone praying.
• 1:23
  The Bible says now in the Lord is that spirit, and where the
• 1:27
  Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, Chabrateke baraka

• 2:04
  Of our God holy. Holy.
• 2:17
  Who comes in? The name.
• 2:20
  Of our God, holy who? Comes in the name of our God.
• 3:13
  In the name. Of our God.
• 3:16
  Bless, that is He. Father, We bless you from
• 3:28
  everlasting to everlasting. May your name be praised and
• 3:33
  exalted even in our midst. We have come tonight to hear you
• 3:38
  speak. We have come to be transformed.
• 3:43
  We have come to encounter your word and even your Spirit.
• 3:49
  Visit us tonight. Give us encounters that last.
• 3:57
  In the name of Jesus, I pray. In the name of Jesus, we pray.
• 4:06
  God bless you. Please be seated.
• 4:09
  God bless you, be seated. Glory be to the name of the Lord
• 4:15
  for giving us another opportunity to be changed, to be
• 4:22
  lifted. The Bible says they go from
• 4:27
  strength to strength. As many as appear before the
• 4:32
  Lord in Zion, not as many who desire strength, those who
• 4:38
  appear before the Lord in Zion. May God take us from glory to
• 4:43
  glory. Hallelujah.
• 4:47
  The House of God is, among many other things.
• 4:52
  The House of God is a place of spiritual illumination.
• 4:57
  Please listen. It's a place of revelation.
• 5:00
  The assignment of revelation is to empower.
• 5:05
  Are we together now? Yes, Empowerment in this Kingdom
• 5:09
  comes on account of light. If you lack spiritual
• 5:15
  illumination, you will not be able to be empowered, nor will
• 5:20
  you be able to rise. The Bible says the path of the
• 5:24
  just is as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter
• 5:31
  even onto the perfect day. So every time we're gathered
• 5:40
  before God, it is important for us to know that this is not just
• 5:45
  a cinema where you come to watch a movie.
• 5:48
  This is not a theater where you come to watch performance.
• 5:53
  This is God in the midst of His people coming through his word
• 5:58
  to change, to transform, to heal, to deliver, and to lift.
• 6:03
  That means at the time you are saying, may the grace of our
• 6:07
  Lord Jesus Christ, a wiser you should be the one speaking a
• 6:11
  more empowered you, should be the one speaking a more
• 6:15
  audacious you should be the one speaking, a more enlightened
• 6:19
  you. You cannot be the same person
• 6:22
  who prayed the opening prayer and then shares the grace.
• 6:25
  It means that God did not do anything in your life.
• 6:29
  Hallelujah. And tonight will be no different
• 6:33
  in Jesus name, praise the name of the Lord.
• 6:39
  I want to specially appreciate all the workers in this House.
• 6:45
  I just, I just thought to do this very sincerely.
• 6:51
  Hallelujah. Leading a large ministry like
• 6:56
  this requires more than being anointed.
• 6:59
  You must have willing hands, willing hearts.
• 7:02
  You cannot imagine the things that happen to make every
• 7:07
  Koinonia service a wonderful experience.
• 7:10
  And I want to thank every Walker in this house when we're coming.
• 7:15
  And, you know, I saw a security people, you know, in the rain
• 7:20
  happily moving around. You know, I just thought I said
• 7:23
  it has to be the love of God that constrains a man this way.
• 7:29
  Now, this is not just leadership tradition.
• 7:32
  I mean it from the depth of my heart.
• 7:33
  I have taught you here that not everybody thinks you are a big
• 7:37
  deal. I hope you still remember that
• 7:39
  teaching. Not everybody thinks you are
• 7:42
  that important or deserving of their commitment and your
• 7:46
  participation. And if and when you do find
• 7:49
  people who can inconvenience themselves and bend over
• 7:54
  backwards, you must have the discernment, the humility, and
• 7:58
  the unashamedness to celebrate them and recognize them as many.
• 8:03
  Times as possible. So again, thank you, thank you
• 8:08
  very much all the workers, leaders, the Lord bless you and
• 8:14
  honor you in the name of Jesus, Hallelujah.
• 8:17
  I celebrate everyone who has come, especially for those who
• 8:21
  have come from outside this nation and outside this city.
• 8:24
  Thank you very much. You will never be the same in
• 8:27
  Jesus name. Particularly.
• 8:28
  I want to thank just a few very special people.
• 8:32
  First is Reverend Joshua Tende and his dear wife.
• 8:36
  May God bless you, Sir. All the way from Father's
• 8:39
  delight in Zarya. Let's honor them.
• 8:42
  Very marvelous man of God. Thank you, Sir.
• 8:46
  Such an honor to have you around.
• 8:49
  Praise the name of the Lord. I'm also told that we have in
• 8:56
  our midst General Bindu and his wife.
• 8:59
  Am I right on that? Please, let's honor him and give
• 9:02
  him a big God Bless you. Wherever you are, Sir, you are
• 9:06
  blessed and we honor you. Oh, please give him a big God
• 9:10
  bless you. General.
• 9:11
  Thank you so much all the way from Jaji.
• 9:13
  The Lord bless and honor you. Thank you for coming.
• 9:17
  Please be seated. Hallelujah.
• 9:22
  Tonight's teaching will be a cure for inconsistencies.
• 9:29
  Tonight's teaching will be a cure for compromises of
• 9:34
  standards. Tonight's teaching will produce
• 9:37
  predictability and sustainability to your results
• 9:44
  in the name of Jesus Christ. Striving for Mastery Part 3,
• 9:54
  We're looking tonight at the power of systems and structures.
• 10:01
  Striving for Mastery For those of you who are just joining us
• 10:05
  for the first time, whether online or here on site, we've
• 10:09
  been dealing with a series of teachings even though we took a
• 10:13
  two week break to do the miracle service and then respond to the
• 10:19
  matters of the time. But now we're back to finish it
• 10:22
  up. Striving for Mastery.
• 10:24
  This is a three-part series intended to empower us.
• 10:28
  The goal of this series is to make our Christian experience
• 10:32
  richer and to make our results predictable.
• 10:36
  It is God's desire that we move past the realm of shadow boxing
• 10:42
  and the realm of trial and error to a point where we can lay hold
• 10:46
  of eternal life and we'll be able to communicate the things
• 10:50
  of the Spirit with precision, with clarity, and then command
• 10:54
  results that bring glory to the name of the Lord.
• 10:57
  Part 1. We looked at the foundation
• 11:00
  where we consider the spirituality of life.
• 11:04
  Please pay attention. We said how that life and living
• 11:08
  is spiritual in its entirety. The Bible does not leave us in
• 11:13
  the dark as to the fact that this visible realm came out from
• 11:18
  the invisible realm. Hebrews Chapter 11 one to three
• 11:21
  says now faith is calls it the substance of things hoped for,
• 11:26
  the evidence of things not seen. Verse 2 says for by it that
• 11:31
  faith the elders obtained a good report.
• 11:34
  Verse 3 gives us that information.
• 11:37
  It says through faith we understand we were not there,
• 11:40
  but there is an information that has come and we believe through
• 11:43
  faith that the walls were framed by the word of God so that the
• 11:49
  things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
• 11:56
  Hallelujah. Even when Jesus manifested, the
• 12:00
  Bible calls him the express image of the invisible God.
• 12:06
  So the realm of the Spirit controls the physical realm.
• 12:10
  We said that also that the realm of the spirit governs the
• 12:15
  physical realm. The physical realm is helplessly
• 12:19
  a slave to the realm of the spirit.
• 12:22
  That when you want to adjust realities, your point of
• 12:26
  reference becomes the realm of the Spirit fest in order of
• 12:30
  priority. According to Second Corinthians
• 12:32
  chapter 4 and verse 18. The Bible says 2nd Corinthians 4
• 12:37
  and verse 18, while we look not at the things which are seen,
• 12:42
  but the things which are not seen.
• 12:45
  So there are things that are seen and things which are unseen
• 12:51
  and the Bible says both of them are realities.
• 12:54
  Just because it is unseen does not mean it is unreal.
• 12:58
  Hallelujah, because the Bible says you can look at it.
• 13:01
  There is substance even to that which is unseen.
• 13:04
  It says for the things which are seen are temporal.
• 13:08
  It means they are subject to change under a certain
• 13:11
  condition. But the things which are not
• 13:14
  seen are long lasting or eternal.
• 13:19
  And then we looked at a few keys that would help us maximize the
• 13:26
  spirituality of life. We looked at the ministry of
• 13:29
  prayer. And then we said we have to
• 13:33
  understand and engage the laws and the principles of the
• 13:36
  Kingdom. Part 2 was basically the laws of
• 13:39
  dominion. We said that dominion in this
• 13:42
  Kingdom is a resultant effect of your knowing and comprehending
• 13:48
  the ways of God. That there is a relationship
• 13:51
  between the ways of God and the glory of God.
• 13:54
  Remember the teaching Exodus chapter 33 and verse 13.
• 13:59
  Moses prayed and said, God, show me now thy way.
• 14:03
  Then verse 18 He now said, show me your glory.
• 14:08
  So there is a relationship between His ways and His glory.
• 14:12
  When you know and understand His ways, inevitably you will
• 14:16
  experience His glory. Leviticus Chapter 9 and verse 6.
• 14:20
  The Lord commanded Moses that there is always something that
• 14:24
  you should do and the glory of the Lord shall appear.
• 14:28
  It will not just appear because you desire it.
• 14:31
  There is what you must do for the glory to appear.
• 14:37
  And we looked at a number of laws.
• 14:39
  Number one was the law of total surrender #2 was the law of
• 14:45
  mental transformation #3 was the law of value and contribution #4
• 14:53
  We looked at the law of authority #5 we looked at the
• 14:57
  law of faith. Number six, we looked at I hope
• 15:03
  I'm right on this. We looked at the law of
• 15:05
  relationships #7 we looked at the law of honour, then we
• 15:15
  looked at the law of. Favour.
• 15:18
  And then finally we looked at the law of spiritual
• 15:22
  empowerment. Why do you need to know this?
• 15:25
  Because they are keys. These are the keys that make for
• 15:30
  dominion. It is impossible to trade this
• 15:33
  Kingdom secrets and remain small and remain an amateur in
• 15:38
  spiritual things. These are the laws that help us
• 15:42
  to contend for mastery. Remember Second Timothy chapter
• 15:45
  2 and verse 5. The Bible says he that strives
• 15:49
  for masteries is not crowned except he strives lawfully.
• 15:57
  So if you want your Christian experience and your results to
• 16:00
  be predictable, these are the spiritual laws that work behind
• 16:05
  the scenes to produce an enviable life and an enviable
• 16:09
  destiny. Patri, today we'll be looking at
• 16:12
  the power of systems and structures.
• 16:15
  I plead with you in the name of Jesus that you open up your
• 16:18
  spirit because what you are about to learn will change your
• 16:21
  life in a way that probably you are not prepared for.
• 16:25
  May the Lord grant us understanding in Jesus name.
• 16:28
  Ecclesiastes chapter 10 and verse 10.
• 16:34
  Ecclesiastes chapter 10 and verse 10.
• 16:37
  The Bible says if the ion be blonde and he do not wet the
• 16:45
  edge, that means to sharpen it. It says, then must he put more
• 16:50
  strength, But wisdom is profitable in that it sustains
• 16:58
  the ability to direct. I have said it here that truth
• 17:10
  in itself does not bless arbitrarily.
• 17:15
  Just because you are in the presence of the truth and just
• 17:19
  because you have the truth does not mean you will be changed by
• 17:23
  it. That truth that is randomly
• 17:26
  communicated will not produce growth and stature in the
• 17:31
  believer. For truth to profit you, it has
• 17:35
  to be communicated holistically and then #2 it has to be
• 17:40
  arranged sequentially because the believer is likened to a
• 17:45
  spiritual. House and if you ask any
• 17:48
  architect and any builder. All of the materials we see here
• 17:52
  are required in building the house, but they are not all
• 17:55
  required at the same time and they are not all required in the
• 17:59
  same quantity. Am I right on that?
• 18:02
  Another analogy, the chef, you bring a chef and tell him list
• 18:07
  all of the ingredients that will be needed to produce this meal.
• 18:10
  He will list all of them, and he can.
• 18:13
  Even give you that is truth, but you will not be able to produce
• 18:17
  that meal. Why?
• 18:18
  Because you must be touched the combination.
• 18:21
  There are certain ingredients that you have to apply when the
• 18:24
  food is already off. You know the fire or whatever it
• 18:27
  is. There are the ingredients that
• 18:29
  you need to start the process. There are others.
• 18:32
  If you miss the timing or you miss the quantity, you cannot
• 18:36
  put say for a plate of rice, the same quantity of rice and the
• 18:41
  same quantity of salt. Both of them are needed, but not
• 18:44
  to the same degree. So it takes it takes the mastery
• 18:48
  of a chef to communicate truth to God's people in a way that
• 18:53
  builds and edifies. Paul called himself a wise
• 18:58
  master builder. Are we together?
• 19:02
  So just because you have access to truth does not mean you will
• 19:06
  be able to produce results with it.
• 19:09
  I can give you bags of cement. I can give you blocks, I can
• 19:15
  give you a few metals, I can give you all kinds of things,
• 19:19
  and you will stand there looking at the tools that can build you
• 19:23
  a house and yet not be able to build a house because it takes
• 19:26
  skill. Are we together?
• 19:31
  Write this down, please. God is a God of systems and
• 19:36
  structures. God is a God of systems and
• 19:42
  structures. This is a very important aspect
• 19:45
  of God that will be useful for our discussion tonight.
• 19:49
  That God is a God of systems and structures.
• 19:54
  What does that mean? That means look up, please.
• 19:57
  That every time God builds, he builds with the intention to
• 20:05
  allow what he build continue. Are we together without Him
• 20:09
  having to come and build it again?
• 20:12
  We see that in the book of the beginnings, Genesis.
• 20:16
  The Bible tells us that when He made the trees, He put capacity
• 20:20
  in them to have the seed that will keep reproducing again.
• 20:23
  Is that true? God will seldom start a process
• 20:27
  and come back and do it again. You will hardly find the same
• 20:30
  miracle happening twice in the Bible.
• 20:32
  God will initiate that process and create a system around that
• 20:37
  process, so that any day you want to see that result, you
• 20:41
  find out the system that makes for that reproduction.
• 20:45
  Are we together now? There are many people who do not
• 20:48
  understand the systems of God, and yet they want to be able to
• 20:52
  reproduce results again and again and again.
• 20:58
  The Realm of Mastery is a realm of systems and structures.
• 21:03
  It was God's servant Bishop where the code that said you
• 21:06
  walk by common sense. He say you run by principles,
• 21:10
  but you fly by instructions. You see the difference?
• 21:15
  You just need common sense to walk, then you need principles
• 21:19
  to run. But if it has to do with flight,
• 21:22
  you need instructions that direct you methodically.
• 21:29
  Ezekiel chapter 37. Shalaka Barakusiata verse one.
• 21:36
  Ezekiel 37. The hand of the Lord was upon
• 21:41
  me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me
• 21:46
  down in the midst of the valley that was full of bones.
• 21:51
  Verse 2. He caused me to pass by them
• 21:55
  roundabout and behold, the Bible says they were very many in the
• 21:59
  open valley and load. They were very dry.
• 22:02
  Please look up now. We see a picture of chaos.
• 22:07
  We see a picture of death, we see a picture of decadence.
• 22:12
  Are we together now? Ezekiel is giving us the
• 22:15
  privilege to share of his vision, and he's saying he's
• 22:18
  taken to a value of dry bones in the Spirit.
• 22:21
  And among the many things that he sees, there are just bones.
• 22:25
  And one important information is that those bones were scattered,
• 22:29
  no life, no order. There was disarray and chaos.
• 22:35
  The Bible says they were very dry, meaning they had been in
• 22:38
  that condition for a long time. How many of you know that if you
• 22:41
  see dry bones around, it means that a bone means there was once
• 22:46
  a human, a human bone. Now is that true?
• 22:50
  But something happened to those people and they began to
• 22:53
  deteriorate until it became that experience that Ezekiel was
• 22:59
  seen. Verse 3 we're reading to seven.
• 23:02
  The full text is to 14, but we may just stop at 7.
• 23:05
  And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones leave?
• 23:11
  Please look up. Was it the bones that God was
• 23:14
  interested in from this story? No, he was interested in the
• 23:18
  full army but noticed for a long time his emphasis was on the
• 23:23
  bones because he knew that if something did not happen to the
• 23:27
  bones, that army would not come back.
• 23:30
  His intention was to have a robust army, but his first port
• 23:34
  of call was the bones. That life was even useless until
• 23:39
  the bones were in place. Can these bones leave?
• 23:46
  Nor can this man leave. The goal was to have the man
• 23:51
  alive, but he needed to deal with the issue of the bones.
• 23:57
  And I answered, O Lord God, down the West, verse four.
• 24:02
  He said unto me, prophecy again unto the bones, and say unto
• 24:07
  them, O ye dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord.
• 24:11
  Verse 5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, Behold, I will
• 24:17
  cause breath to enter into you, and you shall leave.
• 24:21
  Verse 6 Now, And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring
• 24:26
  up flesh upon you. Upon what?
• 24:28
  The bone that is now alive. Breath came into the bones, and
• 24:33
  now flesh and other things can come to cover it.
• 24:36
  He says, And put breath in you, and ye shall leave, and ye shall
• 24:40
  know that I am the Lord, I am the Lord.
• 24:43
  Verse 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded.
• 24:47
  And as I prophesied there was a noise and behold a shaking.
• 24:53
  This is the part I like. And the bones came together.
• 24:57
  It would have stopped there. But the Bible says bone to his
• 25:02
  bone, says systems bone to his bone.
• 25:06
  Because it was not the coming together of the bones that was
• 25:10
  the issue. It was that they had to be
• 25:12
  arranged accurately and the Bible did not leave us in the
• 25:15
  dark. For that army to be formidable
• 25:18
  and for life to be profitable in those humans, the bones had to
• 25:22
  look for their places of assignment and stay there.
• 25:26
  Bone to his bone. There are many believers as
• 25:35
  individuals, as organizations, as churches, who downplay the
• 25:40
  power of systems and structures in being able to effectively
• 25:46
  leave #1 and then effectively communicates the purposes of the
• 25:51
  Kingdom. As far as gaining Master is
• 25:53
  concerned. We have downplayed this and made
• 25:56
  it look like it is not a spiritual issue after all.
• 25:59
  We say, if my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is
• 26:03
  important and I pursue that one, every other thing will happen
• 26:08
  and it is not so. You will be learning right now
• 26:11
  that every aspect of your life that continue continuity of
• 26:15
  every aspect of your life and the efficiency depends on your
• 26:20
  ability to build systems and structures around it.
• 26:24
  If you're with me, say Amen. Let's do a few definitions.
• 26:28
  Please write this down. What is a system?
• 26:33
  A system? I'll give you 2 definitions very
• 26:35
  quickly. Then I'll begin to teach.
• 26:38
  There's so much for us to learn. God who grant us grace.
• 26:42
  A system is a set of elements. Please write.
• 26:46
  Let's hurry up. A system is a set of elements or
• 26:50
  components that are organized for a common purpose.
• 26:55
  I'll take it again. A system is a set of elements or
• 27:00
  components that are organized for a common purpose.
• 27:08
  A set of elements or components that are organized for a common
• 27:15
  purpose. Second definition.
• 27:17
  A system is a set of principles or procedures.
• 27:23
  Please write. Let me allow you right and then
• 27:26
  I finish it. A system is a set of principles
• 27:30
  or procedures according to which something is done.
• 27:36
  A system is a set of principles or procedures according to which
• 27:44
  something is done. A set of principles or
• 27:48
  procedures according to which something is done.
• 27:52
  It is also called an organized approach.
• 27:56
  A system is an organized approach, so that's the
• 28:02
  definition of a system. When we talk about a system in
• 28:06
  one sentence, we mean an organized approach of doing
• 28:10
  something or to doing something. What is a structure?
• 28:16
  A structure comes from the Latin word structura, STRUCTURA
• 28:24
  Structura, which means to fit together or to build.
• 28:31
  I'm being very simple because I want all of us to understand the
• 28:35
  word structura, the Latin expression for structure.
• 28:38
  It means to fit together. It means to build.
• 28:43
  So what is the definition of structure now?
• 28:46
  It means the way in which parts of a system are arranged.
• 28:51
  My apologies for rushing you. Structure means the way in which
• 28:56
  parts of a system are arranged, the way in which parts of a
• 29:03
  system are arranged. So systems talk about execution
• 29:11
  strategies while structures talk of build up or leadership
• 29:16
  strategies. When you talk of systems it
• 29:19
  means an approach how things are done.
• 29:22
  But when you talk of structures, you mean how things are built?
• 29:27
  Systems talk of execution, structures talk of organization,
• 29:32
  the way things are built. Is God helping us?
• 29:41
  Please write this down. No growth process or result is
• 29:47
  sustainable until and unless it is systematized.
• 29:53
  Very powerful information. No growth process or result,
• 29:58
  whether spiritually and otherwise.
• 30:01
  No growth, process or result is sustainable until and unless it
• 30:09
  is systematized. That means whatever you are
• 30:13
  doing, provided you have not systematized it, there is no
• 30:17
  sustainability there. The longevity factor in
• 30:21
  everything we do is the system that is built around it.
• 30:28
  No growth, process or result is sustainable until and unless it
• 30:35
  is systematized. Please write this down.
• 30:39
  To systematize means to make the outcome predictable by
• 30:44
  generating a formula. To systematize means to make the
• 30:50
  outcome predictable by generating a formula.
• 30:56
  Be patient with my definitions and then I'll begin to teach To
• 31:00
  systematize means to make the outcome predictable by
• 31:07
  generating a formula or creating an approach.
• 31:12
  So you systematize anything because you want to make the
• 31:17
  outcome predictable, and you do that by generating a formula or
• 31:22
  creating an approach. Very, very powerful.
• 31:31
  Please look up this gentleman is playing this keyboard right
• 31:37
  here. Come.
• 31:42
  He stopped playing what happened to the sound?
• 31:46
  It stopped. Why did it stop Because it was
• 31:49
  built that there are keys you touch to produce that outcome is
• 31:53
  that true Go back and continue what you're doing everybody
• 31:56
  listen very carefully. You're about to hear a sound.
• 31:59
  Now remember, demons are still on earth, and yet the.
• 32:02
  Sound was not stopped. Do you know?
• 32:04
  Why? Because the intelligence that
• 32:06
  builds this programs a system. The owner who?
• 32:11
  The owner, the those who designed this, the Yamaha
• 32:14
  company, they do not even know that there is a ministry using
• 32:17
  their product right now. And their presence does not have
• 32:21
  to be here for it to work. The system immortalizes their
• 32:24
  presence so that they don't have to come here.
• 32:28
  It brings predictability that everywhere on Earth this product
• 32:33
  is being used under the same condition.
• 32:36
  It will produce the same result. There's rain falling and for
• 32:46
  those of us in Nigeria here and many parts of Africa, this is
• 32:50
  the rainy season and we're having rains and enjoying the
• 32:54
  showers of blessings. Did you know that there are
• 32:56
  other parts of the world who people are enjoying the same
• 33:00
  thing right now simply because a system was created?
• 33:05
  Is that true? The moment you do not
• 33:13
  systematize any operation around your life, inconsistencies and
• 33:19
  compromises will be inevitable. The staying power and the
• 33:25
  ability to stay true to your formula, to stay true to your
• 33:29
  modus operandi, depends on your systematizing whatever you're
• 33:34
  doing, please pay very close attention.
• 33:41
  What are the advantage of systems?
• 33:44
  Let's look at the advantage of systems and structures.
• 33:48
  Let me just talk on that and get it out of the way.
• 33:50
  Then we'll now begin to deal with these issues.
• 33:52
  You will be surprised. For many of you, this teaching
• 33:55
  tonight is going to be answering your prayer while your spiritual
• 33:59
  life will be up today and down tomorrow, your prayer life up to
• 34:02
  date down tomorrow. It looks like you are carrying
• 34:05
  the power of God. You know, even for a preacher,
• 34:08
  you find out that you do well in a season, then you do not do
• 34:11
  well again because there is an absence of systems and
• 34:15
  structures. When there are no systems and
• 34:18
  structures in your life, you will freelance everything.
• 34:22
  Your emotions will govern anything you are doing and
• 34:25
  emotions vacillate. You will not be able to produce
• 34:28
  consistency. Let's look at the advantage of
• 34:32
  systems. What are the advantages of
• 34:34
  systems? I will give you 5 very quickly.
• 34:37
  Please write patiently. Write #1 Systems make it
• 34:42
  possible for everyone who engages them to have the same or
• 34:48
  similar effects. Our Come again systems make it
• 34:53
  possible for everyone who engages them to have the same or
• 35:00
  similar results. Systems make it possible for
• 35:07
  everyone who engages them to have the same or similar
• 35:12
  results. Amazing, isn't it?
• 35:18
  This beautiful structure right here can be reproduced anywhere
• 35:23
  in the world where there is land.
• 35:25
  And you don't need to carry this building and move with it.
• 35:28
  All you need to do is carry the architectural plan.
• 35:32
  Is that true? You can even give an architect
• 35:35
  who has never seen this and he will so reproduce it with
• 35:39
  digital precision to a point that you can lie down here to
• 35:43
  sleep and they relocate you to another kind of this.
• 35:45
  You wake up thinking you are where you left because of
• 35:49
  consistency of systems. How many of you have seen
• 35:51
  estates where people build and you can see hundred buildings
• 35:56
  looking the same? The power of systems.
• 36:01
  Systems make it possible for everyone who engages them to
• 36:05
  have the same or similar results.
• 36:08
  Isn't that powerful? For instance, the system are
• 36:11
  located for salvation. Right now we are here listening
• 36:16
  to God speak to us. There is a crusade going on
• 36:19
  somewhere across the globe and anyone who engages that system,
• 36:23
  the Bible says For with the heart man believes unto
• 36:27
  righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
• 36:30
  salvation, even if it is in a hole, a plane, or land in the
• 36:35
  belly of the fish. Wherever you engage this system,
• 36:39
  salvation becomes yours. Are we together that makes it
• 36:45
  possible for the Nigerian, the American, the European, the
• 36:51
  Asian? Anyone at all can receive Jesus
• 36:54
  the moment you subscribe to the system that the administration
• 36:59
  of eternal life was connected to.
• 37:02
  Imagine with me if everybody in the world had to see me to be
• 37:07
  saved. Do you know how many people go
• 37:10
  to hell? God is too loving to create that
• 37:14
  kind of risk. That means the day I don't feel
• 37:17
  like waking up, people will go to hell that day because I'm
• 37:21
  tired or because my emotions were not at their best.
• 37:24
  And so He created a system that even when there is no man to get
• 37:29
  the person born again, the Holy Spirit can lead that man to
• 37:33
  engage that system. And alone in the room, you will
• 37:36
  still be saved. Powerful.
• 37:41
  Do you know why I'm saying this? Because some of you, by reason
• 37:43
  of what you are hearing tonight, there are results you've only
• 37:46
  read about. This knowledge is about to ship
• 37:49
  it from the book you read and make it happen in your life or
• 37:52
  from the life you saw happen. The same way you saw the
• 37:56
  anointing flow, the same way you saw wisdom flow, the same way
• 38:00
  you saw the organization build. If you can understand the
• 38:03
  system, you can. Reproduce the result.
• 38:08
  So systems make it possible for everyone who engages them to
• 38:12
  have the same or similar effect #2 very quickly.
• 38:16
  Systems and structures minimize biases and sentiments.
• 38:21
  This is very powerful. Systems and structures minimize
• 38:26
  biases and sentiments. God put systems there to
• 38:32
  minimize biases and sentiments. If results depended on biases
• 38:41
  and sentiments, then there are certain people who may never
• 38:44
  have it. For instance Africa, for
• 38:48
  instance, certain well-intentioned believers.
• 38:52
  But thank God that everything that has to do with the Kingdom,
• 38:56
  in as much as there is God there that supervises it, He made it
• 38:59
  systemic so that biases and sentiments would not interrupt
• 39:08
  our rising to mastery #3 Systems and structures guarantee
• 39:14
  sustainability or longevity of results.
• 39:19
  That's a very important advantage.
• 39:21
  Systems and structures guarantee sustainability and longevity of
• 39:29
  results. We don't have so much of those
• 39:35
  buildings in Nigeria, sadly. But when you travel to the US or
• 39:39
  you travel to Europe, you will see buildings and structures
• 39:43
  that are 203 hundred years old. Is that true?
• 39:47
  And they are still standing solid because those who build
• 39:51
  them did not build them to collapse after two years at the
• 39:57
  back of the builders. The builders designed that that
• 40:00
  structure would leave them. And you can still see people
• 40:04
  buying those homes, a 150 year old house and someone is buying
• 40:10
  it not as a as an artifact to say, OK, this is I am the owner
• 40:14
  of this come and see for tourism.
• 40:16
  He intends to live there. There may be a few adjustments
• 40:20
  that will be made there, but it will still be there.
• 40:23
  You go to Israel for pilgrimage. And you find out that there are
• 40:28
  many things that you would see that have been preserved in
• 40:32
  almost their original state. Systems guarantee
• 40:38
  sustainability. I don't know the oldest business
• 40:43
  in Nigeria, respectfully speaking.
• 40:45
  I don't know the oldest organization in this nation, but
• 40:48
  there are organizations across the globe, including ministries
• 40:53
  that they will tell you they are so, so, so, so, so and so years
• 40:57
  old. Great grandfather handed it over
• 41:00
  to father or grandfather, Grandfather handed it over to
• 41:03
  father, Father has now handed it over to son and you know, great
• 41:07
  grandson and so on and so forth. And they are still running it
• 41:10
  with the level of excellence. Some of you buy certain products
• 41:13
  and you see written on it. Established 18 on nineteen O 7.
• 41:18
  And yet you are still consuming that product.
• 41:21
  Everyone who made that product and was part of it
• 41:24
  foundationally must have transited and yet you are
• 41:28
  enjoying the product. Systems and structures guarantee
• 41:32
  sustainability and longevity of results.
• 41:38
  That includes your spiritual life, that includes your
• 41:41
  finances, that includes every other aspect of your life #4 Is
• 41:46
  God speaking to someone already #4 Systems and structures make
• 41:52
  replication possible. This is a powerful information.
• 41:57
  Systems and structures make replication or reproduction
• 42:02
  possible. You can replicate any result
• 42:08
  when you make it. Systemic systems and structures
• 42:15
  make replication possible. For instance, the Lord Jesus
• 42:21
  Christ, the early church are not today.
• 42:25
  Hallelujah. We were not there when he died,
• 42:28
  we were not there when he rose, but there was a system that he
• 42:32
  designed and we are beneficiaries of that system to
• 42:35
  the point that by the election of grace we can stand today and
• 42:39
  do the same thing Paul did. We can stand today and preach
• 42:43
  like Jesus, preach and see the results Jesus saw.
• 42:46
  Preach like Paul, preach and see the result.
• 42:48
  Preach like like Renhardt Monkey, preach.
• 42:51
  Preach like TL Osborne and all these people.
• 42:54
  We may never have met them as individuals, but even when they
• 42:59
  left, the system was still here, very powerful.
• 43:06
  The last advantage. Systems and structures now
• 43:12
  listen carefully. Systems and structures provide a
• 43:16
  basis for commendation, correction, promotion, and
• 43:27
  demotion without biases or emotional interference.
• 43:31
  Be patient and I'll read it. You have to get it that systems
• 43:35
  and structures provide a basis for commendation, They provide a
• 43:43
  basis for rebuke or correction, they provide a basis for
• 43:49
  promotion, and they provide a basis for demotion without
• 43:54
  biases or emotional interference.
• 43:57
  This is powerful. The presence of systems and
• 44:01
  structures can legitimize you. Commending someone or an
• 44:06
  organization can legitimize you. Rebuking or correcting can
• 44:11
  legitimize you promoting an individual or even demoting an
• 44:16
  individual without biases and without sentiments.
• 44:19
  This is true for individuals and this is true for organizations.
• 44:23
  Please look up. Even in our work with God, God
• 44:28
  does not comment emotionally. God does not correct
• 44:32
  emotionally. God does not promote
• 44:35
  emotionally. God does not demote emotionally.
• 44:39
  There is always a basis for everything He does.
• 44:42
  When you look at the seven churches in the Book of
• 44:44
  Revelation, every commendation was based on something.
• 44:48
  Every rebuke was based on a standard.
• 44:51
  If there is no reference, there is no basis for commanding or
• 44:54
  rebuking. Listen, if you do not operate by
• 44:58
  systems and structures, there will be too much bias in your
• 45:02
  operation. Tribalism will destroy you,
• 45:06
  gender sensitiveness will destroy you, and all kinds of
• 45:09
  needless biases will ruin your life and even ruin your
• 45:13
  organization. Now please hear me.
• 45:16
  Positive compromises only become profitable when the structure
• 45:21
  and the standard is in place. There will always be positive
• 45:25
  compromises, but they are useless unless and until there
• 45:30
  are standards in place. Is someone learning?
• 45:40
  How do I know I am wrong? How do I know I am right?
• 45:46
  How do I know I am due for promotion?
• 45:49
  And when you demote me, how do I know you are justified?
• 45:53
  Except and unless there are systems and structures.
• 45:58
  There are many leaders in this nation.
• 46:01
  Respectfully speaking, there are many men of God.
• 46:04
  There are many leaders in various areas who do these four
• 46:08
  things. They commend without a
• 46:10
  reference, they rebuke and correct without a reference.
• 46:15
  They promote without a reference, and they demote
• 46:19
  without a reference. It is as I like.
• 46:21
  No, you cannot build anything great with those kinds of
• 46:24
  sentiments. Many of you here are legal
• 46:28
  practitioners. When you go to the court of law,
• 46:32
  when they say an offender or whatever, or even if you are
• 46:35
  commending someone based on this and that, they will read it for
• 46:38
  you based on this and that the constitution of Nigeria or
• 46:42
  whatever it is, there is a compendium of the modus operandi
• 46:47
  of the citizens within a country.
• 46:49
  And they will tell you based on this, this, this, you have
• 46:52
  violated ABC and now the judge will now match the punishment.
• 46:58
  There are there are certain things called tampering justice
• 47:01
  with mercy, am I right? And then there is what they call
• 47:03
  soft landing. But at least the the standard is
• 47:08
  there. Before God showed us His mercy
• 47:11
  and grace, He opened us up to see that.
• 47:13
  Listen, based on my justice, you fell.
• 47:16
  However, my mercy is there and my grace is there.
• 47:20
  We couldn't have appreciated His mercy and His grace until and
• 47:24
  unless He gave us an opportunity to see how bad we fell.
• 47:29
  Are we together? There are businesses today where
• 47:34
  you see someone from a cleaner is automatically promoted to
• 47:39
  become a manager and I believe in favor I have taught you, but
• 47:43
  from from a leadership standpoint, you ask the CEO and
• 47:47
  say based on what the person will say.
• 47:49
  He made me happy not knowing that that cleaner was only happy
• 47:52
  because he was poor and broke. He has not become the version
• 47:56
  that will hurt you and then the next thing as a as a CEO now the
• 48:01
  potential that was locked up in him now begins to be revealed.
• 48:05
  There are many needless battles. There are many pains that are
• 48:09
  uncalled for simply because people did not systematize their
• 48:13
  lives. Double standards of dealing with
• 48:16
  your life. Double standards of leading in
• 48:18
  an organization. Why?
• 48:20
  Because it is not systemic. Please look up God who is love.
• 48:27
  God who is love created Hellfire and gave everybody an
• 48:31
  opportunity that even at the the detriment of your eternal
• 48:36
  destiny, God will still respect you if you honor or violate the
• 48:40
  system. God who is love and God who is
• 48:43
  merciful. There are people today in hell
• 48:46
  because they willingly chose. Can you imagine that?
• 48:55
  Systems and structures No wonder the Bible says I said before you
• 48:59
  this day Blessing and cursing is it in your Bible?
• 49:03
  I said before you this day life and death.
• 49:06
  But I advise you that you choose life, that you and your.
• 49:10
  Seed. May leave.
• 49:14
  Write this down for an individual.
• 49:18
  For an individual, you must create two kinds of systems
• 49:26
  around your life, basically. For an individual, you must
• 49:31
  create two kinds of systems in your life, basically #1A value
• 49:37
  system, or what we call a code of conduct, and #2 an
• 49:43
  operational guide based on your convictions and priorities.
• 49:48
  I'll take it again. For an individual, that means if
• 49:52
  you desire to excel, to last, to thrive, to gain mastery, you
• 49:59
  must create two kinds of systems in your life #1A value system,
• 50:04
  or what we call a code of conduct #2 you must create an
• 50:11
  operational guide. That means a modus operandi.
• 50:17
  A modus operandi just means how things are done that are based
• 50:25
  on your convictions and based on your priorities.
• 50:30
  The Bible says a man who does not have a watch over his spirit
• 50:35
  is like a city without walls. Please look at me.
• 50:38
  If you must XLS an individual and rise in every area and
• 50:44
  dimension of your life, then you must be prepared to know that
• 50:48
  living emotionally, especially in this day, is a risk.
• 50:53
  I repeat, living just based on emotions and sentiments will at
• 50:58
  best leave you an average person or a defeated fellow.
• 51:03
  Even spiritually, you must be able to create a code of conduct
• 51:09
  or an operational guide that is based on your convictions and
• 51:15
  your priorities. If your conviction is scripture,
• 51:19
  then you must build it to be referenced to Scripture.
• 51:27
  You must create your value system or code of conduct and
• 51:32
  then an operational guide for your life.
• 51:34
  Now write this down for an organization.
• 51:37
  An organization means a church, a business, an NGO, whatever
• 51:42
  kind of corporate platform. Write this down, please.
• 51:45
  You must create a compendium. You must create a compendium of
• 51:52
  the systems and the modus operandi that run the
• 51:57
  organization and use it to train your staff, your workforce, your
• 52:04
  membership, and so on and so forth.
• 52:06
  For an organization, you must create a compendium of the
• 52:12
  systems and the models operandi that run that organization.
• 52:19
  That means everybody within that organization should understand
• 52:23
  the systems that function there, and they should understand the
• 52:28
  modus operandi, how things are done there.
• 52:31
  You use that compendium to train your staff.
• 52:35
  You use it to train your workforce.
• 52:37
  You even use it to train your membership.
• 52:41
  Hallelujah. Now if imagine with me for a
• 52:49
  moment, please look up. Imagine with me that this mic
• 52:55
  goes off, I'm unable to get it powered so that I speak and
• 53:00
  everybody who loves me and want to hear the gospel just runs and
• 53:04
  comes to help me put on the mic. What do you have?
• 53:07
  Chaos. Is that true?
• 53:09
  There must be a system that defines who does what so that if
• 53:16
  sound goes off, you don't have to be blamed for the
• 53:20
  carelessness of someone. You see, one of the blessings of
• 53:23
  systems is that everybody cannot be blamed for the carelessness
• 53:28
  of one person. You are able to allocate
• 53:30
  responsibilities and allocate commendations accordingly.
• 53:39
  You must be able to build this. Now, please write this down.
• 53:43
  Well, this is this is really the heart of our discussion right
• 53:46
  now, how to build formidable systems and structures.
• 53:50
  I want to teach you something very powerful.
• 53:53
  Then we'll now come to our lives Striving for mastery Part 3, The
• 53:58
  power of systems and structures. Please look up how to build
• 54:03
  formidable systems and structures.
• 54:07
  I haven't told you all of these things, what systems and
• 54:10
  structures are and the advantages that they provide in
• 54:13
  the life of an individual and even an organization.
• 54:17
  It is important for you to know how to build formidable systems
• 54:22
  and structures. There are there are 6 questions
• 54:29
  that everybody must answer this night.
• 54:32
  If you want to build a system and a structure in your life and
• 54:38
  in your organization, it is important to answer these
• 54:41
  questions. Let's deal with them very
• 54:43
  quickly. Number one, the first question
• 54:46
  that everybody must be able to answer if you desire to build a
• 54:50
  formidable system and a structure around your life is #1
• 54:57
  why do I exist? The question of vision, the
• 55:02
  question of the goal that is to be achieved, the knowledge of
• 55:06
  the end product. You cannot build effective
• 55:11
  systems around your life if you cannot answer the question of
• 55:15
  vision. Why do I exist as a person?
• 55:19
  As far as God's divine plan is concerned, why do we exist as an
• 55:24
  organization? There must be a clear definition
• 55:30
  of your vision. There must be a clear definition
• 55:33
  of the goal to be achieved. There must be a clear definition
• 55:37
  of the end product. Is someone learning?
• 55:46
  Please look up. It is difficult to systematize
• 55:50
  anything if you do not know why it exists.
• 55:54
  When Jesus showed up, he gave us his manifesto in clear terms.
• 56:00
  In fact, his name, his very name, captured his manifesto.
• 56:05
  Jesus Jehoshua, the one who saves that salvation to seek and
• 56:12
  to save the lost was his primary goal.
• 56:15
  He also added to us that he came as a correction of our idea
• 56:19
  about God, that everything we thought God is or God was.
• 56:24
  Jesus came as a mocking script so that we will look at his life
• 56:28
  and begin to edit our understanding about God that was
• 56:31
  told us by the prophets and by the law.
• 56:37
  How many of us here can tell me with precision why your
• 56:41
  organization exists, what vision it is pursuing now, what goal it
• 56:47
  seeks to achieve? What is the end product?
• 56:51
  Man of God, I know you are praying and fasting, but can you
• 56:54
  tell me what you are trusting God to become?
• 56:57
  Do you know that many people do not have an idea of what the end
• 57:01
  product is? So there are several activities
• 57:04
  that are leading nowhere. Are you learning now?
• 57:09
  There are many people today, respectfully speaking, who do
• 57:12
  not excel in ministry because the ministry has no known
• 57:16
  vision. The ministry does not have any
• 57:19
  goal. The ministry does not have even
• 57:21
  an end product. As a man of God, when you teach
• 57:25
  and mentor people in a church like this, you must have an idea
• 57:29
  of the back end of your mentorship.
• 57:31
  What should they become? Beloved people, please look at
• 57:35
  me. How many of you will go to a
• 57:38
  school or send your children to a school whose end you do not
• 57:42
  know? Imagine a lecturer coming into a
• 57:44
  class and seen several people and said well I am professor
• 57:49
  this or doctor this. I am here to teach you and the
• 57:52
  students have no idea, no reference as to what they should
• 57:56
  become. Can I tell you, knowing the end
• 58:00
  product gives you the power to endure.
• 58:04
  You cannot indefinitely stay, receive the staying power to
• 58:08
  become nothing. Who for the joy that was set
• 58:13
  before Him? Is it in your Bible?
• 58:15
  He endured the cross and He despised the shame.
• 58:25
  There must be a clear definition of your vision, a vision for
• 58:28
  your life, a goal to be achieved.
• 58:33
  So God has called you into ministry.
• 58:36
  Hallelujah. What has he given you?
• 58:39
  What is what is the end product? What do you see yourself
• 58:43
  becoming? You must answer that question.
• 58:45
  There are many businesses today that just happened because of
• 58:49
  hunger. There was no vision.
• 58:51
  So the the business cannot even last more than one year because
• 58:55
  the motivation was not anything long term.
• 58:57
  The man was hungry and he was just told that look, if you at
• 59:01
  least do something exchange value, you will get something to
• 59:04
  eat. It is a risk to start moving
• 59:10
  without knowing where you are going.
• 59:13
  Imagine with me, ladies and gentlemen, that you stop on on a
• 59:18
  Bolt or Uber or any of the transport systems you have
• 59:21
  around and then you tell the man, take me to so, so, so, so
• 59:26
  place. Do you know it?
• 59:28
  The man says yes and then he begins to fire, running like
• 59:31
  he's been pursued by police and then he's taking you somewhere,
• 59:36
  you don't know where you are going.
• 59:37
  So you were banking on his knowledge and later on, he would
• 59:40
  confess to you that sincerely. I forgot to tell you, this is my
• 59:44
  first day at work. I just came into Abuja last
• 59:46
  week. Would you clap for such a person
• 59:48
  and say wow, you are, you are such a need, let's keep going.
• 59:51
  Now, hold on, is there a problem with motion?
• 59:55
  Is there a problem with activity?
• 59:58
  Is there a problem with speed? And yet there is no arrival in
• 1:00:03
  the presence of motion, in the presence of activity, even in
• 1:00:07
  the presence of speed. Without vision, you will not
• 1:00:11
  arrive. Is someone hearing what I'm
• 1:00:15
  saying now? Yes, that is the reason why you
• 1:00:19
  give meetings names, so that those who come for the meetings
• 1:00:23
  have an idea of what to expect. If you say you are coming for a
• 1:00:27
  citywide crusade, all those who come, they know what to expect.
• 1:00:32
  If you call it a crusade, don't blame me for bringing someone on
• 1:00:35
  a wheelchair. Don't blame me for carrying a
• 1:00:37
  dead child and coming with a person, you call it a crusade.
• 1:00:41
  There are things that should happen in a crusade ground.
• 1:00:44
  Imagine with me that we call a meeting a crusade and as soon as
• 1:00:48
  people come, for instance, and respectfully speaking, I'm
• 1:00:51
  teaching you 5 keys to prosperity.
• 1:00:53
  That is not wrong, but that is wrong for the name given to that
• 1:00:57
  meeting. A crusade targets the salvation
• 1:01:00
  of sinners and then at best the strengthening of believers
• 1:01:04
  within a territory. Hallelujah.
• 1:01:10
  You must answer the question of vision.
• 1:01:13
  There are many of you. You want to be men of God.
• 1:01:15
  If I ask you why said there's something boiling in my heart, I
• 1:01:19
  just know that I'm supposed to be doing this.
• 1:01:22
  That is good, but not enough motivation, not enough to stand
• 1:01:25
  in the midst of all the things that befall you as you serve
• 1:01:28
  God. Who for the joy that was set
• 1:01:31
  before you, endure the cross, despise the shame #2 is God
• 1:01:39
  helping us? The second question you must ask
• 1:01:42
  tonight if you want to build systems and structures in your
• 1:01:46
  life is who are the beneficiaries of my solutions?
• 1:01:51
  Very powerful question. You want to build a system
• 1:01:54
  around your life that helps you produce impact?
• 1:01:58
  Who are the beneficiaries of my solutions?
• 1:02:03
  Don't say I am sent to everybody.
• 1:02:05
  Potentially yes. But who are the beneficiaries of
• 1:02:09
  my solution? Jesus Himself.
• 1:02:13
  When He came, He said He was here to seek and save the lost.
• 1:02:18
  That means if the Father had found you, He didn't have a
• 1:02:21
  ministry for you to seek and to save the lost.
• 1:02:28
  There are many of us here. You do not know those who have
• 1:02:32
  been mandated to be the beneficiaries of your solutions.
• 1:02:36
  As a man of God, you do not even know those you are sent to.
• 1:02:39
  As a businessman, you do not even understand your clientele.
• 1:02:43
  You have to know those you are sent to.
• 1:02:49
  When Moses had an encounter with God, God did not say Moses, take
• 1:02:54
  this road. Roam around anywhere you see
• 1:02:57
  human beings, Just tell them you have met the God of the Bible.
• 1:03:00
  Watch this. The nature of his training was
• 1:03:04
  with respect to where he would be sent to.
• 1:03:07
  Is someone? Is someone learning now?
• 1:03:09
  Yes, Moses, I am sending you to Egypt.
• 1:03:14
  Here is your mandate. Deliver them from the hand of
• 1:03:17
  Pharaoh. Take them out of Egypt into a
• 1:03:20
  land flowing with milk and honey precision.
• 1:03:26
  And to meet Pharaoh, I would have to train you, very
• 1:03:32
  powerful. Who are the beneficiaries of
• 1:03:35
  your solutions? Can I tell you every mandate and
• 1:03:39
  any call, whether in ministry, whether in business, there,
• 1:03:44
  there are targeted beneficiaries that you must understand.
• 1:03:47
  It can be an age range, it can be a vision, it can be a gender.
• 1:03:53
  You have to know your clientele. I know those God has sent me to.
• 1:04:00
  Every time I see people who need encounters and revival in their
• 1:04:04
  life, Every time I see people who have gone down spiritually,
• 1:04:08
  you are calling for my attention.
• 1:04:10
  Every time I see someone who has not been saved, you have not
• 1:04:13
  encountered Jesus, you are calling for my attention.
• 1:04:16
  Every time I see someone who is spiritually down, there is no
• 1:04:20
  fervency, no fire, no appetite for spiritual things, you are
• 1:04:24
  calling for my attention. Everywhere I see demons
• 1:04:27
  oppressing people, you are calling for my attention.
• 1:04:29
  Don't invite me, just show me someone oppressed.
• 1:04:32
  That is my invitation based on the mandate.
• 1:04:35
  Show me someone who is sick, that needs a demonstration of
• 1:04:38
  the power of God. Show me a territory that needs
• 1:04:41
  revival and fire. You are calling me.
• 1:04:44
  Question what calls you. There are many people who do not
• 1:04:50
  know what calls them, what calls you.
• 1:04:54
  For some of you, you are being raised as Kingdom financiers,
• 1:04:58
  that everywhere you see poverty and lack and the House of God
• 1:05:02
  suffering something should call you.
• 1:05:04
  But you are not able to create any system to be excellent.
• 1:05:07
  Why God cannot even use you to be a Kingdom financier because
• 1:05:11
  you do not know the beneficiaries of your solution.
• 1:05:16
  Don't downplay what you are hearing.
• 1:05:19
  We have a lot of politicians here.
• 1:05:21
  When they make you a House member, you are not a House
• 1:05:24
  member of Nigeria. You are not a House member or a
• 1:05:28
  senator. They, they, they, they define a
• 1:05:31
  region. Is that true?
• 1:05:32
  And your, your assignment principally is to that region.
• 1:05:44
  Who are the beneficiaries of my solutions?
• 1:05:49
  So that you can invest your time not knowing this will help you,
• 1:05:53
  will make you build wrong systems.
• 1:05:55
  You're going to be ministering to people you are not gifted
• 1:05:58
  for, people you are not graced towards.
• 1:06:01
  Are we together now? Very, very important.
• 1:06:11
  I think I'm not ignorant as far as music is concerned.
• 1:06:17
  I was once a music director, but my call is not to be a worship
• 1:06:21
  minister, to go to the nations. So I will sing, but I will sing
• 1:06:25
  while I am preaching. There is nobody who has invited
• 1:06:28
  me to come and sing a special number.
• 1:06:30
  Yet if you invite me, I must almost always sing Why?
• 1:06:34
  Because that gift can find expression as a subset of the
• 1:06:38
  bigger picture. Are we together now?
• 1:06:42
  In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for you sincerely from this
• 1:06:46
  night. May God lead you to find those
• 1:06:49
  who are the beneficiaries of your anointing, beneficiaries of
• 1:06:53
  your call, that that gift that He put within your spirit.
• 1:06:57
  You must find those you are sensed to please.
• 1:07:02
  Sit down man of God. Listen, there are many people
• 1:07:07
  today who are genuinely called of God, but they have not been
• 1:07:11
  able to identify those that God put the solution in them for.
• 1:07:18
  There is, respectfully speaking there, there is a ministry
• 1:07:20
  called the Full Gospel Businessman's Fellowship.
• 1:07:24
  How many of you know that ministry now?
• 1:07:26
  Do you know that that is a powerful ministry that has
• 1:07:29
  changed lives? The ministry came targeted to
• 1:07:32
  business people and people of influence because the the
• 1:07:37
  founders discovered that it was difficult to minister to people
• 1:07:41
  of influence. So the whole idea is to
• 1:07:45
  evangelize people and keep them on fire for God and then to use
• 1:07:49
  their influence for Kingdom come.
• 1:07:51
  That is what defines that ministry.
• 1:07:53
  You will not see full gospel businessmen having a deliverance
• 1:07:57
  service or going around having a crusade from city to city, but
• 1:08:02
  you will see them all the meeting with only 30 people and
• 1:08:05
  based on the definition of their ministry, they are highly
• 1:08:08
  successful. The blind pursuit for general
• 1:08:13
  results that creates competition, creates frustration
• 1:08:17
  is because we have not defined. There are businesses that do not
• 1:08:22
  have more than 100 clients, yet there are billion naira and
• 1:08:26
  billion dollar businesses because the nature of the
• 1:08:29
  business, it does not serve everybody.
• 1:08:33
  Is that true? Who are the beneficiaries of my
• 1:08:42
  solutions? Question 3.
• 1:08:44
  Is someone learning tonight? Question three.
• 1:08:47
  Are you ready? What tools do I need?
• 1:08:52
  This is powerful. Now I'm I'm answering questions
• 1:08:57
  that will help me build systems and structures around my life.
• 1:09:01
  Question three. What tools do I need?
• 1:09:06
  Your tools talk about your skills.
• 1:09:09
  Your tools talk about your resources.
• 1:09:12
  Your tools talk about your relationships.
• 1:09:17
  What skills will I need? Don't just create systems out of
• 1:09:21
  nothing. What tools do I need?
• 1:09:25
  Please look up in this ministry, for instance, because of the
• 1:09:29
  nature of what God has called us to do, we know that to be
• 1:09:35
  effective there are tools that we need and there are resources
• 1:09:39
  that we need. Are we together now?
• 1:09:42
  That is what birthed the structuring of every department.
• 1:09:47
  We know that there will be need for a media capture and so there
• 1:09:50
  are media people who are walking all around.
• 1:09:53
  As I'm speaking, we know that the nature of the ministry and
• 1:09:56
  the size of the ministry will necessitate a very intelligent
• 1:10:01
  security system at the highest level possible.
• 1:10:04
  And so there is every kind of security system imaginable put
• 1:10:08
  in place. You cannot create systems until
• 1:10:12
  you know the tools that you need.
• 1:10:15
  What do you need to succeed? There are some of you.
• 1:10:18
  Can I tell you what you need to succeed in your assignment is
• 1:10:23
  billions and billions and billions.
• 1:10:26
  That will now help you to know what to put in place, the kind
• 1:10:29
  of structures that will drive you.
• 1:10:38
  What tools do I need? Please look up.
• 1:10:41
  If you are Moses, remember you need a rod.
• 1:10:45
  Never move until you find a rod. If you are David, don't stand
• 1:10:51
  before Goliath until you have your sling and make sure there
• 1:10:55
  are 5 stones, not an empty sling.
• 1:10:59
  If someone speak, is God speaking to someone here?
• 1:11:02
  Yes. What tools do I need?
• 1:11:07
  Look up please. If you are a man of God and you
• 1:11:10
  know that you need a high level anointing, a high level
• 1:11:15
  manifestation of the power of God in your life, then you see,
• 1:11:20
  knowing that you need those tools, you can now create a
• 1:11:24
  system that makes sure that your spiritual life never goes down
• 1:11:28
  because you need at every given point in your life, the nature
• 1:11:33
  of your call will demand that you are on fire all the time, to
• 1:11:39
  be instant in season and out of season #4.
• 1:11:47
  Are you ready? The 4th question you have to
• 1:11:51
  ask, and especially for organizations, but then it also
• 1:11:55
  applies to your life, is who does what.
• 1:11:59
  The 4th question you must answer who does what, distribution of
• 1:12:06
  tasks. You will fail in life if you do
• 1:12:10
  everything. Most leaders fail in life
• 1:12:13
  because they cannot trust anybody who does.
• 1:12:16
  What is a question you must ask? As wonderful and great as this
• 1:12:21
  ministry is, there are things I don't come close to.
• 1:12:24
  You know why? I rather do my work of oversight
• 1:12:27
  and allow those who are skilled and exceptional to do it.
• 1:12:32
  I can play this keyboard, you see, but I cannot play this
• 1:12:35
  keyboard as effective as this person is playing.
• 1:12:38
  I can play drums, I can play most of the instruments here,
• 1:12:41
  but I have not mastered to that level of efficiency and
• 1:12:45
  combining both of them will not make me efficient.
• 1:12:48
  So there is a definition. We are all on stage and we are
• 1:12:52
  all ministering, but who does what?
• 1:12:56
  Husband, who does what, who avoid trouble, wife who does
• 1:13:02
  what, children who does what, man of God who does what?
• 1:13:06
  There has to be a proper definition of tasks.
• 1:13:12
  I will never come for Koinonia and cross my leg when it's time
• 1:13:16
  for the world. You see me come and I sit down
• 1:13:18
  quietly. The worship team doing their
• 1:13:20
  thing, Testimonies, everyone doing their thing.
• 1:13:22
  Because I have my own slot in the program too, I can't get up
• 1:13:26
  habitually and say this is my ministry.
• 1:13:29
  All of you sit down. Even if I'm going to veto for a
• 1:13:32
  'cause I owe you an explanation to say the Holy Spirit came in
• 1:13:36
  and you will know this is an exception.
• 1:13:38
  I told you compromises only make sense when standards are in
• 1:13:42
  place. Now please look up.
• 1:13:44
  I'm saying this respectfully. You know that I love the body of
• 1:13:47
  Christ. I'm teaching you and as many who
• 1:13:49
  would want to listen, there are many ministries and many
• 1:13:52
  organizations that do not have order because there is no
• 1:13:56
  definition of who does what. The man of God can do anything.
• 1:13:59
  While it is while the service is going on, you will see papers
• 1:14:03
  flying around. Sorry, you are the one who is
• 1:14:05
  going to raise offering. Are you aware and the person I
• 1:14:07
  didn't prepare, it's OK. Just your Second Corinthians
• 1:14:09
  chapter 8 and 9:00 or 9:00 and 8:00 and you see those
• 1:14:13
  discussions and the person comes off and he's looking confused
• 1:14:16
  and wondering, hoping he's right.
• 1:14:18
  And he says praise the Lord, Hallelujah, praise the Lord, and
• 1:14:21
  all kinds of things are happening.
• 1:14:22
  And then finally you raise the offering and you don't know what
• 1:14:26
  to do. There is no order.
• 1:14:28
  Three people who come and raise offerings and it's as if they
• 1:14:30
  were trained by three different people.
• 1:14:32
  They don't know what to say, no standards, no systems.
• 1:14:38
  Can you let me tell you, this system should be greater than
• 1:14:41
  individuals so that it does not matter who is doing the work,
• 1:14:44
  the result is the same. An example is your car, it does
• 1:14:49
  not matter whether it's the husband driving or the wife is
• 1:14:52
  because it is not them that define how the car moves.
• 1:14:55
  A system that is the mechanics of the car.
• 1:15:02
  Are we together? When you go to any of our banks
• 1:15:11
  across the globe, you will almost find similar or the same
• 1:15:16
  experience. Yet they are sucking people and
• 1:15:19
  employing newer people. Do you know why they are not
• 1:15:22
  really concerned about the individuals?
• 1:15:24
  Because they know that the individuals will be immersed
• 1:15:27
  into a system that will limit their emotional interferences.
• 1:15:33
  Listen, I'm teaching you this because this is how global
• 1:15:37
  brands spread. They spread through systems.
• 1:15:41
  So you can see Apple Kenya, Apple South Africa, Apple
• 1:15:45
  Nigeria, Apple UK, individuals who may have never met
• 1:15:49
  themselves until and unless they're having an executive
• 1:15:52
  meeting and yet their results are similar.
• 1:15:54
  You know why? There is a common code that
• 1:15:56
  governs them. When you call somebody a doctor,
• 1:16:00
  say a consultant surgeon, the person may be in Abuja, there
• 1:16:04
  may be another consultant surgeon in Lagos, another
• 1:16:07
  consultant surgeon in Adamawa. Three of them can literally meet
• 1:16:12
  the first time and meet inside a surgery room, and none of them
• 1:16:16
  will be afraid of one another because there is a system that
• 1:16:19
  made them more there. How about the lecturers that
• 1:16:23
  teach students? Some of them talk fast, some of
• 1:16:26
  them talk slow, some of them look dull, even though they are
• 1:16:28
  intelligent, respectfully speaking, some of them are very
• 1:16:31
  smart, some of them have all kinds of temperaments.
• 1:16:35
  But regardless the personality differences, the students will
• 1:16:39
  still become what was desired because the system, in this case
• 1:16:43
  the manual, the modus operandi, is greater than the personal
• 1:16:48
  biases of the lecturers. Do you know why?
• 1:16:53
  I am sure that you'll be nothing short of a sign and a wonder.
• 1:16:56
  It is not because of the person standing before you.
• 1:16:59
  This is it. For the way of the Lord is the
• 1:17:08
  way of wisdom. I choose the way.
• 1:17:17
  I can still teach you even though I don't know your
• 1:17:20
  background. I can still teach you even
• 1:17:23
  though I know you may not have an advantage by default.
• 1:17:26
  Regardless the situation, this was built to survive and produce
• 1:17:31
  a champion out of everyone, regardless the limitation.
• 1:17:36
  If I teach you my opinions, I will only teach those whose life
• 1:17:40
  and history is similar to mine and that from a child thou has
• 1:17:47
  known the Holy Scripture which is able to make you wise even
• 1:17:51
  unto salvation. Is God helping someone So who
• 1:17:57
  does what? Please look at me.
• 1:17:59
  There are some of you. The reason why you are
• 1:18:02
  inefficient in your life today, right now as you are listening
• 1:18:06
  to me is because you are doing many things that your level of
• 1:18:11
  growth. You are supposed to have
• 1:18:13
  outsourced those things and given other people.
• 1:18:16
  There are some of you right now, respectfully speaking, with the
• 1:18:19
  level to which God has lifted you and helped you, you should
• 1:18:22
  not be the one roaming around to wash your clothes.
• 1:18:24
  The three hours you are spending washing your clothes by reason
• 1:18:27
  of your lifting now is a waste of time.
• 1:18:30
  You will say it's humility. I respect you, but you are
• 1:18:33
  wasting time. Do you understand what I'm
• 1:18:43
  teaching you now? Most of the efficient people in
• 1:18:50
  life, they write everything that they need to excel and begin to
• 1:18:56
  allocate responsibilities. This was what was killing Moses
• 1:19:00
  in the Bible. If you read, if you read, every
• 1:19:03
  time there is increase, you will have to shed off a lot of
• 1:19:07
  responsibilities and allot it to people you can trust so that you
• 1:19:12
  focus on the things that matter. Moses was wearing himself
• 1:19:18
  counseling people from morning till night and Jethro, his
• 1:19:21
  father-in-law said, Mr. Mann, you are about to kill yourself.
• 1:19:27
  Find people and set them as captains over hundreds,
• 1:19:30
  thousands. The same thing happened in Acts
• 1:19:32
  chapter 6. The apostles were overseeing the
• 1:19:35
  sharing of food and there was a problem.
• 1:19:38
  When you read from verse one among the Grecian women and all
• 1:19:41
  of that, and the disciples said no, no, no, no, no, the
• 1:19:43
  apostles, you are distracting us.
• 1:19:45
  We are about a serious assignment right now.
• 1:19:48
  It says look among yourself, give it to us, please.
• 1:19:50
  Now verse two or three, it says, look among yourselves. 7 men of
• 1:19:56
  honest report full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom whom we may
• 1:20:00
  appoint over this business. It is business, but not your
• 1:20:06
  business. This business, what is our own
• 1:20:09
  business was for, it says, But we will give ourselves
• 1:20:13
  continually to prayer and the ministry.
• 1:20:18
  Let me tell you this, please look up.
• 1:20:20
  Respectfully speaking, there are many men of God whose spiritual
• 1:20:24
  fire has gone down and who fail woefully now as far as the
• 1:20:29
  ministry of the world is concerned, because
• 1:20:31
  administrative duties have become a burden on them and they
• 1:20:35
  cannot trust anyone. Can I tell you when you are
• 1:20:38
  overly afraid of everybody, the problem is you.
• 1:20:41
  You have to take the risk to trust people.
• 1:20:44
  How were you when God started using you?
• 1:20:47
  All of us are students in training and sometimes you have
• 1:20:50
  to stamp your feet and just risk it.
• 1:20:55
  This is very powerful. There are things in my life that
• 1:20:59
  I minimize. I don't get myself involved in
• 1:21:02
  some of the brightest and the finest leaders, globally
• 1:21:06
  speaking. They minimize themselves to 2-3
• 1:21:09
  or four important tasks and they give their all to it.
• 1:21:15
  There's a statement they used to say Jack of all, Jack of all
• 1:21:18
  trades, master of none. It's true.
• 1:21:22
  Let me tell you the truth, you cannot effectively lead a
• 1:21:26
  ministry like this. If you are the one involved in
• 1:21:30
  checking the offering and finding out where it went to,
• 1:21:33
  and then you quickly find out where the security people are.
• 1:21:37
  And then while you are here, you are looking.
• 1:21:38
  There are things you cannot do, your times of fasting, your
• 1:21:43
  times of prayer. Do you know what it takes to
• 1:21:47
  prepare one series? You can see some of the things
• 1:21:49
  I'm bringing. Those definitions did not come
• 1:21:52
  in the place of prayer. I studied.
• 1:21:57
  Of course there are things that come in, but are you get what
• 1:21:59
  I'm saying now? There is, there is.
• 1:22:01
  You cannot imagine. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating
• 1:22:05
  the materials that I consult. For one salmon, I preach an
• 1:22:09
  average of three sermons per week.
• 1:22:12
  Aside from school of ministry and a lot of other things, you
• 1:22:15
  cannot have the time to do a lot of things and still excel.
• 1:22:19
  Please define who does what. Some of you have grown up
• 1:22:23
  children in your house. You are still washing your car.
• 1:22:25
  You are still washing your clothes.
• 1:22:27
  Call those children and tell them to behave themselves well.
• 1:22:30
  And this is not about abuse or bully.
• 1:22:32
  This is about training. Even if you are prosperous, if
• 1:22:37
  they cannot do anything, they should follow you and learn so
• 1:22:40
  that the day you are not there, the system is in place.
• 1:22:43
  Can I tell you, hold on, You know that something is wrong
• 1:22:47
  when the system collapses in your absence.
• 1:22:50
  Every time your absence creates such a big vacuum.
• 1:22:54
  Something was wrong with the systemic nature of yourself or
• 1:22:57
  your organization. I used to say it when I was in
• 1:23:04
  Zarya that even if I'm not there for one year, the only thing
• 1:23:08
  that should be missed is the unique expression of the grace
• 1:23:11
  of God upon my life. But it should not collapse if
• 1:23:15
  the ministry collapses there. I failed woefully.
• 1:23:19
  So if I don't come for Kolonia for one month, the only thing
• 1:23:23
  you should miss here is the unique expression of my grace.
• 1:23:26
  Not edification, not growth. If growth stops with my absence,
• 1:23:31
  then I failed. Listen, let me tell you this,
• 1:23:35
  some of you God is speaking to you.
• 1:23:37
  If you do not build systems around your life, you will not
• 1:23:40
  be able to maximize destiny. You will fail in many other
• 1:23:44
  areas of your life because many things will depend on you
• 1:23:48
  wrongly. So systems #5 don't be tired.
• 1:24:04
  Oh please listen, your destiny needs this.
• 1:24:10
  When a patient goes to the doctor, sometimes they will say
• 1:24:12
  swallow a drug. It doesn't like it but the
• 1:24:14
  doctor says swallow it. I know what I'm giving you and
• 1:24:17
  sometimes you turn as you are swallowing 1 you are also
• 1:24:19
  receiving injection. You don't like it, but you need
• 1:24:22
  it. What some of you are hearing
• 1:24:24
  now, you need it. For some of you, you don't need
• 1:24:26
  it now, but you need it. Keep it.
• 1:24:29
  No matter how much light I give you, you will not need it when
• 1:24:33
  you are in the day, but when the night comes, you will quickly go
• 1:24:36
  back. Some of you are about to build
• 1:24:38
  businesses, some of you are about to build ministries.
• 1:24:40
  You may not need now what I'm giving you, but pay attention to
• 1:24:44
  it and you will thank me. Some of you.
• 1:24:47
  This is what you need right now. We're about to talk about these
• 1:24:51
  areas of your life shortly. Question 5.
• 1:24:56
  Are you ready? The 5th question you must
• 1:24:59
  answer. What is the most important
• 1:25:02
  aspect of the vision to focus on now?
• 1:25:06
  What is the most important aspect of the vision to focus on
• 1:25:11
  now? This talks about emphasis.
• 1:25:15
  Can I tell you God is not doing everything in your life at every
• 1:25:19
  time? God is a God of times and
• 1:25:22
  seasons, and He operates based on emphasis.
• 1:25:25
  There is always something God is doing now.
• 1:25:28
  There is always something an organization is doing now.
• 1:25:32
  Yes, there are many things in the blueprint, but God walks 1
• 1:25:36
  by 1. War betides a man who cannot
• 1:25:39
  find the emphasis for his life and destiny.
• 1:25:41
  Now please look at me, there are some of you.
• 1:25:44
  Based on what God is doing in your life now, you should not be
• 1:25:47
  reading books on finances, reading books on leadership.
• 1:25:50
  You are just starting with God. The emphasis should be pressing
• 1:25:54
  into God with fasting and prayer.
• 1:25:57
  You got born again late now. You got filled with the Holy
• 1:26:00
  Ghost just a few months ago trying to come impress
• 1:26:03
  everything you you need. There are things God needs to
• 1:26:05
  achieve in your life now. Every spiritual man who was
• 1:26:09
  built well will tell you how God started with us.
• 1:26:13
  God didn't start with finances and systems and all of that.
• 1:26:16
  He started with Jesus. He started with hunger.
• 1:26:20
  He started with fire. If you notice, even as a man of
• 1:26:23
  God, you will know how to disciple and train people.
• 1:26:27
  You don't just get people born again and the next thing you are
• 1:26:30
  teaching them financial principles.
• 1:26:32
  Next thing you are teaching them leadership principles.
• 1:26:34
  I'm not being sarcastic, but within the limit of how growth
• 1:26:38
  happens, there are things line upon line, precepts upon
• 1:26:42
  precepts. Is God speaking to us?
• 1:26:49
  I remember when I started with God there was nothing about
• 1:26:52
  finance pressing. In fact there was even nothing
• 1:26:54
  about the mind mental transformation.
• 1:26:57
  It was fire, presence, encounter.
• 1:26:59
  Lord, show me your glory. Visions almost from morning till
• 1:27:03
  night. It's as if you can't rest.
• 1:27:04
  You put your head down an Angel. You put your head down so and
• 1:27:07
  you are wondering, God, what are you doing with my life?
• 1:27:10
  You lift your hands, you put it down.
• 1:27:12
  Your hands are shaking, fire, cold sensation.
• 1:27:16
  You don't even know the name of what is happening.
• 1:27:18
  You lie down to sleep, you don't know whether the weather is cold
• 1:27:21
  or it's just you. These are there are all kinds of
• 1:27:23
  impartations happening within your spirit man.
• 1:27:26
  But the season will come when God will say, now son, you have
• 1:27:29
  done well in terms of your growth.
• 1:27:31
  Now you need to begin to study on your mind because your
• 1:27:34
  spiritual health alone will not produce victory holistically.
• 1:27:39
  So God started introducing us to other people and at first some
• 1:27:43
  of us resisted it because it did not carry the same plans.
• 1:27:47
  It looked like a betrayal to our fire.
• 1:27:52
  Like some of you is happening to you now as you are listening to
• 1:27:54
  me. It looks like hearing what you
• 1:27:56
  are hearing is a betrayal to your passion for revival.
• 1:27:59
  Soon you will know that the sound system that you put on
• 1:28:02
  that crusade ground will require systems and organization for you
• 1:28:05
  to preach. Well, are you learning now?
• 1:28:10
  We love the Lord with all our heart.
• 1:28:12
  The first time we went on crusade, there was not so much
• 1:28:15
  about administration, but goodness.
• 1:28:17
  There was fire and signs and wonders.
• 1:28:19
  We finish the preaching of the crusade, but we're owing money
• 1:28:24
  for sound systems. Spirituality did not fail, but
• 1:28:33
  there was system failure. In the name of Jesus Christ, God
• 1:28:46
  will complete everything that needs to be completed in your
• 1:28:48
  life to make your Christian experience holistic.
• 1:28:51
  In the name of Jesus Christ, look up please.
• 1:28:58
  God is not doing everything every time.
• 1:29:02
  He has emphasis, and as a leader you must know what is God's
• 1:29:07
  emphasis in your life. You must know what is the
• 1:29:13
  emphasis of your business at this point.
• 1:29:17
  When Koinonia started, please look up.
• 1:29:20
  I used to share with the people those days that the assignment
• 1:29:26
  was to enthrone Christ first in the hearts of men and then
• 1:29:30
  across every strata of human activities.
• 1:29:33
  But First things first. The first phase of the ministry
• 1:29:37
  had to do with building people, so there was not so much
• 1:29:40
  emphasis to aesthetics. And.
• 1:29:41
  Structure and all of that it didn't mean that we didn't
• 1:29:44
  believe in excellence but in order of priority.
• 1:29:48
  Are we together now so people could sit on the ground, people
• 1:29:51
  could sit in an auditorium that maybe didn't have the best of
• 1:29:54
  ambience because one day it will happen.
• 1:29:56
  My philosophy has given from God was that when you good people,
• 1:30:00
  the people will build the structure and thank God for that
• 1:30:05
  wisdom that people were built. And some of those people that
• 1:30:09
  were built today are the ones serving, doing marvelous and
• 1:30:12
  mighty things. First Corinthians 10/23, First
• 1:30:22
  Corinthians 10/23, it says all things are lawful.
• 1:30:26
  If you look at it from Amplified, it says all things
• 1:30:30
  are permissible, all things are. We are free to do anything we
• 1:30:35
  please, it says, but not all things are helpful, expedient,
• 1:30:41
  profitable, wholesome. All things are legitimate, but
• 1:30:46
  not all things are constructive, very powerful.
• 1:30:49
  You must know what God is doing per season in your life.
• 1:30:54
  Look at me, there are some of you, even though you are great
• 1:30:56
  men of God, revivalist, you will get to a point in your life
• 1:31:00
  where God's emphasis, which is your finances, don't neglect it
• 1:31:04
  just because you feel that OK now I should just focus on God
• 1:31:10
  can push down on you and you will find out that every book,
• 1:31:14
  every message God will keep recommending it for the next 6
• 1:31:18
  months is going to be your finances.
• 1:31:20
  Don't fight it. If you jump that school of the
• 1:31:23
  Spirit, you will pay for it in the future in a way you are not.
• 1:31:25
  Prepared for. For some of you, even though you
• 1:31:32
  are great men and women of God, you will get into seasons where
• 1:31:35
  the emphasis for you will be leadership and organization.
• 1:31:40
  Now you may be doing well in terms of the delivery of your
• 1:31:42
  spiritual solutions, but you need to now begin to build the
• 1:31:45
  structure. May you discern what God is
• 1:31:51
  doing at every season of your life in the name of Jesus.
• 1:31:55
  And for those of you who run organizations here, do not say
• 1:31:59
  we are multipurpose, doing everything.
• 1:32:01
  No, look at me please. How many of you know that in
• 1:32:04
  every house there are many doors inside that house, but there is
• 1:32:08
  always a door called the main door.
• 1:32:09
  Is that true? The main door is what leads you
• 1:32:12
  and then you can leverage on other doors.
• 1:32:14
  Everybody who runs any successful conglomerate, there
• 1:32:18
  is one thing that stands them out and then they use the
• 1:32:22
  leverage of that product to now build all other products.
• 1:32:28
  When you talk about Bill Gates and Microsoft, Microsoft is not
• 1:32:32
  the only thing he does, but that is what brought him out.
• 1:32:35
  That gives him a leverage to do everything.
• 1:32:37
  When you talk about Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway,
• 1:32:40
  that's not the only thing he does.
• 1:32:42
  He's not only an investor. There are many other things he
• 1:32:44
  does, but that is what brought him out.
• 1:32:47
  When you talk about all of Zuckerberg, it's not only
• 1:32:50
  Facebook and all of these things.
• 1:32:51
  There are many other things they do.
• 1:32:53
  There are many sports people who also have clothing lines, but it
• 1:32:57
  is just is what brings them out. You must know the area of
• 1:33:01
  emphasis per season. I can teach on finances, I can
• 1:33:10
  teach on relationships, I can teach on several things for the
• 1:33:14
  core area of fire and grace and the area where the mantu speaks,
• 1:33:20
  you see, is in the area of encounters, communicating the
• 1:33:24
  wisdom of the Spirit, steering revival, helping people to have
• 1:33:27
  spiritual intelligence. Do not major on minors and minor
• 1:33:36
  on majors. What is most important in your
• 1:33:40
  life now? What is the most important
• 1:33:43
  aspect of your vision? And finally, number six, Are you
• 1:33:50
  ready for this? What are the major limitations,
• 1:33:54
  pitfalls, and distractions to avoid?
• 1:33:59
  I'm showing you 5 questions. You must ask an answer because
• 1:34:03
  the systems you are going to build will be in honor to the
• 1:34:07
  answers that you find from this question.
• 1:34:10
  What are the major limitations, comma, pitfalls and distractions
• 1:34:16
  to avoid? First Peter chapter 5 and verse
• 1:34:19
  8. What are the major limitations?
• 1:34:24
  Because one of the assignment of systems and structures is to
• 1:34:30
  keep you true to your values, to keep you true to what you stand
• 1:34:34
  for, and you must be able to know the limitations, the
• 1:34:38
  pitfalls and the destructions to avoid.
• 1:34:41
  It says be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the
• 1:34:46
  devil as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may
• 1:34:53
  devour. Please look up, there are many
• 1:35:00
  pitfalls that can destroy you spiritually, business wise,
• 1:35:07
  politically and one of the ways you manage your growth and your
• 1:35:13
  result is by creating systems around your life.
• 1:35:18
  Respectfully speaking, you cannot call me and say, ah,
• 1:35:22
  apostle, how are you? Can you just travel to this
• 1:35:26
  state and come to Sosope? We just want to enjoy ourselves.
• 1:35:30
  Maybe I would have been able to do that years ago, but right now
• 1:35:32
  there are systems around my life that help me to manage my
• 1:35:37
  consistency and manage my results.
• 1:35:40
  Are you getting what I'm saying now?
• 1:35:41
  Yes. Maybe the person who is calling
• 1:35:45
  you plans to kill you, for instance, And because you don't
• 1:35:48
  have systems and structures, you get to a point in your life
• 1:35:52
  where you will need security clearance.
• 1:35:54
  You will need several. Or it's not policing you, it's
• 1:35:56
  managing you so that you remain effective for those who God has
• 1:36:00
  called you to do. Many of us don't have systems
• 1:36:03
  around our lives because we do not know the pitfall.
• 1:36:06
  If there is the pitfall of pride in your life, show me the system
• 1:36:10
  you have created. If there is the pitfall of all
• 1:36:13
  kinds of losts and all kinds of wrong relationships that can
• 1:36:18
  come and introduce you. Many people were destroyed
• 1:36:22
  because when God started promoting them, their
• 1:36:24
  relationships change. They now found out that 90% of
• 1:36:28
  the wealthy people around them were godless people and because
• 1:36:32
  you have to go for all your friends birthday party, they now
• 1:36:35
  travelled and went to several countries and saw things that
• 1:36:39
  were against their convictions. But they could not leave it
• 1:36:41
  because that's what happens at this level.
• 1:36:44
  Systems can protect you beyond your imagination.
• 1:36:49
  Is God speaking to someone? Especially when it has to do
• 1:36:56
  with rising, even financially. The moment God begins to lift
• 1:37:00
  you, the dynamics of your living will change immediately.
• 1:37:03
  There are relationships you don't need but will force their
• 1:37:06
  way around. Your life systems will give you
• 1:37:08
  the legitimacy to say no to many things that may be good but are
• 1:37:13
  not useful for your life. For instance, if somebody
• 1:37:17
  invites you to come respectfully speaking for some birthday party
• 1:37:21
  or some occasion somewhere that may not honor your convictions.
• 1:37:25
  If you say no, they will ask you based on what systems give you
• 1:37:30
  the legitimacy. Are we together now?
• 1:37:32
  Yes. Is someone learning what I'm I'm
• 1:37:48
  teaching you? You see how powerful this is?
• 1:37:51
  Systems are very powerful. They can protect you.
• 1:37:56
  Write this down. You must build a code of conduct
• 1:38:05
  and a code of operation around your life and in your
• 1:38:11
  organization. Out of these answers, the
• 1:38:15
  answers to these six questions, you must build a code of
• 1:38:19
  conduct. Out of these 5 or 6 questions,
• 1:38:23
  you must build a code of conduct and build a code of operation.
• 1:38:29
  Don't just have a code of conduct alone.
• 1:38:32
  A code of conduct guides your character.
• 1:38:34
  A code of operation guides how you do things.
• 1:38:39
  It takes more than being a man of character to excel.
• 1:38:42
  A code of conduct guides how you behave, but a code of operation
• 1:38:47
  guides how you do things. Hallelujah, yes, yes, ago.
• 1:38:55
  Let me tell you this. I I got to a point in my life,
• 1:38:59
  respectfully speaking, when God started lifting me and doors
• 1:39:03
  were opening. And until that time, I, in my
• 1:39:07
  conservative way, I didn't think that I would need a system to
• 1:39:11
  manage my itinerary and all of that.
• 1:39:14
  And people would call me and sometimes there could be 5-6
• 1:39:17
  calls for ministrations, the dates crashing, I may not even
• 1:39:20
  remember. I would just tell this person,
• 1:39:22
  yes, oh, you are my friend, I will come, yes.
• 1:39:24
  And sometimes I would find out that I had agreed for three
• 1:39:28
  ministrations within the same time, not knowing.
• 1:39:32
  And the people I found out that I was damaging useful
• 1:39:35
  relationships in my life, because now I would say yes to
• 1:39:38
  this and find out I said yes to this person.
• 1:39:41
  Now, how would I choose? I knew that my failure was a
• 1:39:44
  revelation, that I had risen to a point in my life where I
• 1:39:48
  locating that. And then because, you know,
• 1:39:52
  starting ministry, most of my administration was among friends
• 1:39:56
  and people who I was building a relationship.
• 1:39:58
  And there were times that there, there are legitimate reasons to
• 1:40:01
  say no, but I may not have the courage to say no.
• 1:40:04
  So you allow the system to say no for you.
• 1:40:07
  You see how powerful it is now? There are many things you cannot
• 1:40:11
  say no to as an individual, so you leave the no to the system.
• 1:40:19
  Most of you have have carried needless enemies in your life
• 1:40:23
  today because instead of allowing the system you built to
• 1:40:27
  say no, you kept saying no by yourself.
• 1:40:35
  You will have too many troubles in your life with people.
• 1:40:40
  You will, you will, you will lose out on many precious
• 1:40:43
  relationships if you don't create a system around what you
• 1:40:46
  have to do. This is very powerful.
• 1:40:54
  Build a code of conduct and a code of operation around your
• 1:40:58
  life. Now I'm going to be listening.
• 1:41:01
  This is the final thing we're going to do, and then we'll
• 1:41:03
  pray. I want to guide you a bit as to
• 1:41:08
  the various aspects of our lives.
• 1:41:10
  I don't just want to deal with systems and structures
• 1:41:12
  arbitrarily, but I want to zoom down on a few things that you
• 1:41:17
  can take home. You can know that this is this
• 1:41:20
  is the problem and this is the solution around this area of my
• 1:41:23
  life. Let's start with our spiritual
• 1:41:25
  lives. Write it down, please.
• 1:41:30
  How do I build a system that maintains my spiritual growth
• 1:41:35
  and maintains my spiritual fire? Most of us rise up today and go
• 1:41:40
  down tomorrow. We are not able to sustain that
• 1:41:43
  spiritual momentum. Do you know why?
• 1:41:45
  Because everything that has to do with our spiritual life is
• 1:41:48
  based on emotion. Please look at me.
• 1:41:51
  How many of you know that if you depend on your emotion to read
• 1:41:54
  your Bible, if you depend on your emotion to pray, if you
• 1:41:58
  depend on your emotion to go to church, you will not do any of
• 1:42:00
  that. Is that true?
• 1:42:10
  What is the system you have put in place for your Bible study?
• 1:42:14
  What is the system you have put in place for consistent prayer?
• 1:42:18
  Anybody who tells you prayer is comfortable and convenient lie
• 1:42:22
  to you. Prayer has nothing to do with
• 1:42:24
  emotions. You have to create a system that
• 1:42:27
  not even your emotions can easily tamper with.
• 1:42:32
  Hallelujah. Imagine with me that I come up
• 1:42:36
  here on Sunday and I say, ladies and gentlemen, I know you love
• 1:42:40
  me and I love you too, but I want to be very honest with you
• 1:42:44
  today we're just going to pray in tongues and sing because I
• 1:42:49
  needed to sleep. I've, I've, I've been traveling
• 1:42:51
  around and I'm so tired and I don't have anything to tell you.
• 1:42:56
  I thank you for coming here since 10:00 in the morning and
• 1:42:59
  since 8:30 struggling for space and sitting down and come again.
• 1:43:05
  May the Lord bless you. I'm sure that after two or three
• 1:43:07
  weeks, I'll be prepared. How?
• 1:43:08
  How irresponsible will that sound?
• 1:43:12
  Now, don't you know that I leave a busy schedule?
• 1:43:14
  And yes, not even you will excuse me for that carelessness.
• 1:43:19
  Why? Because preparing my salmon to
• 1:43:22
  make sure God's people are built has been systematized.
• 1:43:27
  Are we together now? I don't allow my emotions to
• 1:43:30
  prepare sermons. I will fail miserably.
• 1:43:34
  There are many meetings that line up before me.
• 1:43:36
  And so there are systems. There are time periods where I'm
• 1:43:40
  about studying and preparing. Whether there is rain, whether I
• 1:43:44
  am tired. I can pamper myself afterwards.
• 1:43:47
  But as far as that is concerned, I must be instant in season and
• 1:43:51
  out of season. Someone shout Amen.
• 1:43:56
  Please look up our parents. Many of us here, our parents and
• 1:44:04
  our elderly ones here used to practice a system called morning
• 1:44:09
  devotion. Is that true?
• 1:44:11
  Now that didn't seem to be a system that some of them would
• 1:44:15
  not pray in tongues for one hour, nor finish their bibles
• 1:44:18
  cover to cover. But notice that every time they
• 1:44:22
  woke up, the first thing they did, their bibles will usually
• 1:44:25
  be at the side of the bed. Is that true?
• 1:44:28
  And because of that, they were in contact with Scripture every
• 1:44:32
  day for 50 years, 41 years now some of us have come as zealous
• 1:44:37
  people who love the Lord. You can pray for 8 hours one day
• 1:44:41
  and not pray again till after three weeks.
• 1:44:43
  You can study the Bible emotionally, trying to finish 15
• 1:44:46
  chapters in one day and then leave your Bible alone.
• 1:44:49
  Then repent after two months when you hear a message like
• 1:44:52
  this and go back again. Everybody says systems, please
• 1:44:57
  look at me. You can never become spiritually
• 1:45:01
  alive and robust, allowing your emotions to define the level of
• 1:45:06
  your spiritual commitment. Do you know why many, many
• 1:45:11
  people who work in corporations and in the civil service, no
• 1:45:14
  matter how respectfully speaking, how, how draggy they
• 1:45:20
  are, they are still able to maintain that because there is a
• 1:45:23
  register that you sign in when you come in.
• 1:45:25
  Is that true? And they will query you.
• 1:45:28
  There is a supervisor waiting for you so you can return home
• 1:45:32
  by 12, even attend the vigil sometimes end by four or five.
• 1:45:37
  And as tired as you are, you know your salary is at stake,
• 1:45:40
  Your job is at stake. There are bills to pay.
• 1:45:43
  It will fuel the energy. You will stand up and buff and
• 1:45:45
  be on your way. Systems are supervisors.
• 1:45:51
  They supervise compliance. You must create a system around
• 1:45:56
  your spiritual life. What is the system?
• 1:46:01
  You are built to make sure you study the Bible every day.
• 1:46:04
  And for some of us, when it has to do with Bible study, that is
• 1:46:08
  even a discussion for another day.
• 1:46:09
  Because you get up and there is no definition as to what you are
• 1:46:13
  becoming today. You just feel like, let me read
• 1:46:17
  Proverbs, I'm not in the mood for any history.
• 1:46:19
  You just open Proverbs chapter 1 and with slip in your eyes will
• 1:46:23
  be reading the same verse for 20 minutes.
• 1:46:26
  You think you have finished it. You will come back, read it
• 1:46:28
  again because there is no system.
• 1:46:30
  And then the next day you read John chapter 2.
• 1:46:32
  And then when you wake up and stumble across a message online
• 1:46:36
  and it fires your spirit to quickly go back to Revelation,
• 1:46:38
  read something small or rupture. You don't grow that way.
• 1:46:42
  Your growth is not methodical. This is the reason why,
• 1:46:47
  respectfully speaking, we have many people who go to church,
• 1:46:51
  but there is no growth because people do not grow methodically.
• 1:46:58
  Some of our parents who would read 5 chapters, according to
• 1:47:02
  that devotional, gradually, gradually, they may finish their
• 1:47:05
  Bible in five years, six years. It may not be so much relative
• 1:47:10
  to your passion and your press, but it was systematized.
• 1:47:13
  Can I tell you this if you have not outgrown, if you have not
• 1:47:19
  outgrown being guided to read a scripture by designing your own
• 1:47:23
  structure, go back to a deal. In fact, I don't have a problem
• 1:47:27
  with devotionals. They are a healthy start and
• 1:47:29
  they can help you. Of course, in truth you will
• 1:47:32
  need more than that if you really want to press to certain
• 1:47:35
  dimensions, but it is it is fair enough for you to start.
• 1:47:45
  Someone met me and said, apostle, I need to grow
• 1:47:48
  spiritually and I confess that my study of the Word and my
• 1:47:52
  prayer is not I'm not really benefiting, I'm not really
• 1:47:55
  growing. How can you help me?
• 1:47:57
  This what I told the person as a recommendation.
• 1:47:59
  I said every message that is preached here in Koinonia.
• 1:48:03
  Let that be your study for that week at least.
• 1:48:05
  Start from there. So you listen to the message and
• 1:48:08
  you use it for Bible study. You use it to build.
• 1:48:11
  Now you settle down and look at the scriptures.
• 1:48:14
  If you even just focus on what is being taught per week, many
• 1:48:19
  of us have almost everybody's message in the world.
• 1:48:22
  You have everybody's devotional, but you have not listened to any
• 1:48:25
  of them. When we go to your library,
• 1:48:29
  there are books from even generals that are long gone, and
• 1:48:32
  you will impress us by what is in your library, but you've not
• 1:48:35
  even read up to 1% of it. You will not grow that way.
• 1:48:42
  Say in the name of Jesus, I obtain grace to maintain my
• 1:48:47
  spiritual life by systematizing my approach.
• 1:48:51
  Please look up. There are some of you here.
• 1:48:54
  You cannot pray for one hour every day.
• 1:48:57
  Now the the value of prayer is not in the timing.
• 1:49:01
  The value of prayer is in the efficiency and the fellowship.
• 1:49:04
  But then timing is a discipline that can help you.
• 1:49:07
  Believe me when I tell you this, some of you don't have the
• 1:49:11
  discipline to wake up in the night.
• 1:49:13
  Use an alarm clock. An alarm clock is a system or a
• 1:49:16
  process is an embarrassment to my discernment.
• 1:49:18
  Please use it. Save yourself all this pride for
• 1:49:21
  nothing and get a good alarm clock.
• 1:49:25
  If you plan to wake up by 2:00, let it start by 1:30 so you can
• 1:49:29
  struggle for 30 minutes. Whatever it is, you can be sure
• 1:49:32
  that by two you are awake. It's a strategy.
• 1:49:39
  Can I tell you this? The days that are coming will
• 1:49:42
  depend on your spiritual health. Man of God, the ministry that
• 1:49:47
  you run cannot rise beyond your spiritual health.
• 1:49:50
  That is the truth, Kainonia, if my prayer life is just one hour,
• 1:49:58
  you will not grow. I assure you, at this level of
• 1:50:02
  my life is not pride. If I pray for only one hour,
• 1:50:05
  praying for you what God has done, will I finish saying thank
• 1:50:09
  you in one hour? There are many homes here that
• 1:50:22
  don't, that don't have a system for their spiritual upkeep.
• 1:50:25
  Respectfully speaking, don't feel bad.
• 1:50:27
  We're dealing with systems and structures.
• 1:50:30
  Anybody who feels like praying in the house just calls for
• 1:50:32
  prayer, and then everybody just respects it.
• 1:50:34
  You can't go that way. The home needs to have a system,
• 1:50:38
  whether it's in the morning or night or both, so that any
• 1:50:42
  visitor who comes to stay with you meets an existing system.
• 1:50:45
  So people don't ship in Babylon to your house and come and
• 1:50:49
  destroy your home. When they come and meet a
• 1:50:51
  system, they will respect it. In this house by 6:00 we wake
• 1:50:55
  up. Well, in my Father's house, I
• 1:50:57
  wake up by 9. I respect you, but you may have
• 1:50:59
  to comply with what is available now. 6:00 let's begin to pray.
• 1:51:03
  Father, we thank you and everybody's praying in the
• 1:51:06
  house. How about Bible studies?
• 1:51:11
  I'm sorry to say it, but did you know that many children do not
• 1:51:14
  learn about God from home? They don't build character from
• 1:51:17
  home because there is no system for that.
• 1:51:24
  Our society continues to be destroyed today because we are
• 1:51:27
  hoping that religious, educational and governmental
• 1:51:30
  institutions will do the work that family should start.
• 1:51:34
  No systems. The reason why you are well
• 1:51:37
  nourished is because there is a system.
• 1:51:39
  Subconsciously you know that there will be breakfast, lunch
• 1:51:42
  and dinner for some of us who fast.
• 1:51:45
  You look at your loved ones. Those days when when we really
• 1:51:49
  started learning the things about fasting in the seminary,
• 1:51:51
  who would they would combine the breakfast and lunch.
• 1:51:55
  Nobody eats it just because we are fasting.
• 1:51:57
  Length period will come and go. But by night that revenge
• 1:52:00
  mission, the breakfast in the morning and the lunch and
• 1:52:04
  dinner. If anybody touches your
• 1:52:07
  breakfast or your lunch, because you are spending time with God,
• 1:52:10
  when you are back from that mountain, you will now flog it
• 1:52:12
  out with them. Some of you are like that.
• 1:52:16
  They go to the kitchen whose food is, this is my own limit.
• 1:52:19
  There I'm fasting. Even the gifts that visitors
• 1:52:26
  bring, the yam, the fruits, leave it there.
• 1:52:29
  Once it's 5:30, as you are praying in tongues, you are
• 1:52:32
  strolling around the kitchen. 6 on the dots.
• 1:52:41
  Hallelujah. Now look at me.
• 1:52:43
  Please look at me. How many of you here have a
• 1:52:48
  system for your renewal with God?
• 1:52:51
  Most of you do not have a system for retreats.
• 1:52:54
  You don't even know what retreats are.
• 1:52:56
  Respectfully speaking, some of you.
• 1:52:58
  How can you as a leader, even a spiritual leader, not have a
• 1:53:02
  system of retreat? It's not only when you have an
• 1:53:05
  attack that you need a retreat out of the seven days in a week,
• 1:53:09
  what is the strategy you have put in place to make sure your
• 1:53:12
  fire is not lost? Monthly, do you have a strategy
• 1:53:16
  quarterly? Do you have a strategy during
• 1:53:18
  your birthday? What happens?
• 1:53:19
  I just know that people celebrate me.
• 1:53:21
  Uh huh. Spiritually, Don't you know that
• 1:53:23
  that is a defining moment in your life?
• 1:53:26
  Those days in Zaria, we used to practice it and even train
• 1:53:29
  people that your birthdays were very prophetic seasons.
• 1:53:33
  In your life you will see people go on fasting 3 days, four days
• 1:53:37
  to their birthdays. They can celebrate only when
• 1:53:40
  they've sorted destiny with God. But today, as simple as that
• 1:53:45
  was, many people encountered God and found purpose.
• 1:53:49
  Please return. Return in the name of Jesus
• 1:53:51
  Christ. This is not just entertainment,
• 1:53:55
  many of you. This is what started depleting
• 1:53:57
  your spiritual life. You are a man of God.
• 1:54:00
  The fire you used to command before was because maybe you
• 1:54:03
  were on campus or where you were.
• 1:54:05
  You were around fellow believers, so there was a system
• 1:54:08
  of check and balance. Now that you are alone, your
• 1:54:11
  prayer life gone down. Everything gone down is why when
• 1:54:15
  most people finish from campuses, they become a shadow
• 1:54:19
  of themselves. You know why?
• 1:54:21
  Because respectfully speaking in campus, there are fellowships.
• 1:54:24
  There is always something to do and there is someone to watch
• 1:54:28
  around your life. But now you are an
• 1:54:29
  administrator. Now you are doing some other
• 1:54:32
  things. Everybody says systems.
• 1:54:40
  You must create a system for Bible study this night, whether
• 1:54:43
  it's a topical study, whether it's study book by book, whether
• 1:54:48
  it's through the use of devotional.
• 1:54:50
  Make up your mind. Don't wait and say apostle, why
• 1:54:53
  don't you do it and be giving us every day.
• 1:54:55
  Go on, I'm stitching you here so that you will go and find it and
• 1:54:59
  study. Don't stay on.
• 1:55:01
  To be over pampered like that. You have to take responsibility
• 1:55:04
  spiritually #2 what is the system you have put in place for
• 1:55:12
  your mental development? What is mental development?
• 1:55:17
  Correcting and building superior beliefs.
• 1:55:21
  What is the system you have put in place to give you a superior
• 1:55:24
  philosophy about life? I've told you every day without
• 1:55:30
  fail, and I stand before God and before His people.
• 1:55:34
  There are teachings I listen to, there are people whose thoughts
• 1:55:37
  shape my understanding and it is a non negotiable sacrifice.
• 1:55:42
  I must listen everyday. How are you going to rise and
• 1:55:51
  become a marvelous tool that God will use when you are not
• 1:55:55
  agreeing with Him mentally? There is Bible on tape, there is
• 1:56:00
  Bible on MP3. Is that true?
• 1:56:05
  There are many ways you can manage.
• 1:56:07
  I have, I have this, this, the words of Jesus only I have it on
• 1:56:12
  MP3, on almost all my flash drives, my phone, laptop,
• 1:56:17
  everything. I have it there.
• 1:56:19
  So sometimes I can just be playing it, the words of Jesus
• 1:56:22
  only, because these are the words that shape my mind and my
• 1:56:26
  understanding. The destiny of millions depend
• 1:56:29
  on my efficiency. I cannot afford to be careless.
• 1:56:35
  Those days we used to sleep with worship songs to confess to you.
• 1:56:38
  Now we don't do so much of that. But those days it used to be
• 1:56:41
  worship songs from night till morning, worship songs playing.
• 1:56:45
  So it was a system to maintain your spiritual life.
• 1:56:48
  You wake up in the middle of the night with such intense
• 1:56:51
  presence. This is how God built us.
• 1:56:55
  So please return to it. Please return to it in the name
• 1:56:59
  of Jesus Christ. Submit to mental development.
• 1:57:03
  Get up and look for people whose philosophies are word compliant.
• 1:57:08
  There are people living in the personal development industry
• 1:57:11
  whose whose thoughts are word compliant.
• 1:57:13
  Listen to it to adjust your philosophy about life.
• 1:57:16
  Don't depend on the low level thinking.
• 1:57:19
  You can't be global that way #3 you must build a system to
• 1:57:28
  manage your health and your Wellness.
• 1:57:32
  This is a very powerful one. There are homes today,
• 1:57:36
  respectfully speaking, who, who do not have any kind of first
• 1:57:41
  aid structure. God forbid, should anything
• 1:57:44
  happen to someone in that house, even if it is Panadol that is
• 1:57:47
  needed, someone will have to book an Uber.
• 1:57:50
  It is carelessness. I am sorry, but just just
• 1:57:53
  receive it from me this night. It's carelessness.
• 1:57:57
  There must be a provision in place.
• 1:58:00
  Do you know you are given only one body per lifetime?
• 1:58:03
  I have taught you maintaining it is your responsibility and you
• 1:58:07
  must create a system around it. You must create a system on how
• 1:58:13
  to access rich food, vitamins and supplements if you want to.
• 1:58:18
  And then scriptures for your health.
• 1:58:20
  I have scriptures, you know, several men of God across the
• 1:58:24
  body have done several beautiful scriptures that speak about your
• 1:58:28
  health and your Wellness. I listen to it every time
• 1:58:32
  because I intend to live long. And Jesus said we live by bread
• 1:58:36
  and by words. Hallelujah.
• 1:58:44
  I made-up my mind one time that I was going to, you know, I was
• 1:58:49
  going to build a, a gym just for fitness.
• 1:58:53
  And don't laugh. You've not even had the story.
• 1:59:00
  You will make me always look like I'm a comedian.
• 1:59:03
  Listen, do you know that I now said they should look for a gym
• 1:59:08
  instructor, a coach for me? Ladies and gentlemen, they went
• 1:59:14
  and brought one fine young man who really respects and honors
• 1:59:17
  me. I was inside when they said he
• 1:59:19
  had arrived. I said, OK, let him just go to
• 1:59:21
  the gym and wait for me there. When he went there and I saw the
• 1:59:23
  guy, I said, did I tell you people I want to box?
• 1:59:26
  And then this guy was built and looking like he could pick me.
• 1:59:30
  I said, what is he here for? To build me?
• 1:59:34
  No, it is such as you have that you give.
• 1:59:37
  I'm not interested. No, No way.
• 1:59:41
  That's not my assignment. It's not in the blueprint of my
• 1:59:44
  destiny. My assignment is just to be
• 1:59:45
  healthy. Any other thing greater than my
• 1:59:48
  strength. I depend on the Holy Spirit and
• 1:59:50
  military people. Thank God he has surrounded me
• 1:59:54
  with so many generals. They can help me.
• 1:59:58
  That gentleman was built. He now showed me videos of him
• 2:00:04
  doing exercise. He was using chains.
• 2:00:06
  Chains. Hallelujah.
• 2:00:18
  But the point is this, look at me, if you don't take care of
• 2:00:22
  your health, you will die. I'm not confessing negatively.
• 2:00:28
  Believe me when I tell you, if you don't take care of your
• 2:00:31
  health, is there a system in place?
• 2:00:36
  Apostle, I collect 200,000 naira per month.
• 2:00:39
  You can discuss and allocate something for healthy living.
• 2:00:44
  It is true. It's a discipline we must learn
• 2:00:47
  in the body of Christ. Don't allow taking care of your
• 2:00:50
  health be an emotional thing the day the pain becomes
• 2:00:53
  overbearing. Some of you, you live in pain
• 2:00:55
  every day. You are used to it and these are
• 2:00:58
  signs that continue your body for 10 years.
• 2:01:02
  Medical science would tell us that most conditions that
• 2:01:04
  destroy people can be managed if you were dealt with in its
• 2:01:07
  infancy. Do you agree with me on that?
• 2:01:12
  Hallelujah, I'm a man of faith or I'm a man of the Spirit.
• 2:01:15
  But the Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct.
• 2:01:18
  I need to live long for the sake of the assignment.
• 2:01:21
  We're not afraid of death, but we know that we need to live
• 2:01:24
  long to finish that which God has given to us.
• 2:01:27
  Are we together? I'm saying these things so that
• 2:01:29
  you will go back home. Don't just say I attended
• 2:01:32
  Kalinonia and I laughed. No, go back and sit down for
• 2:01:36
  some of you. You may start this.
• 2:01:38
  You need to start putting a good system to have clean drinking
• 2:01:42
  water in your house. You are too blessed to be taking
• 2:01:45
  the kind of water you are taking.
• 2:01:46
  It's pure carelessness. It's just that you've not paid
• 2:01:49
  attention to it. What system have you put in
• 2:01:59
  place to excel in your work? Your work here means your
• 2:02:03
  career, your business and your ministry.
• 2:02:06
  Man of God, what system have you put in place to meet with your
• 2:02:09
  leaders and train your leaders and train your workers and help
• 2:02:15
  them love God? Do you know it is dangerous and
• 2:02:18
  there are several people here who are preachers.
• 2:02:20
  It is dangerous to be a man of God on fire and then not know
• 2:02:23
  what is happening to your leaders.
• 2:02:25
  You don't even know what is happening to your leaders.
• 2:02:28
  They are just there. You don't know whether they
• 2:02:29
  pray, you don't know whether they fast, you don't know
• 2:02:32
  whether they love God. You just know that anytime you
• 2:02:34
  give them an assignment, they do.
• 2:02:35
  It is a risk, is a risk to you and to that vision, continuous
• 2:02:43
  development. Do you have a system for buying
• 2:02:48
  good clothes? Do you have a system for your
• 2:02:51
  presentation? I'm being very simple with you,
• 2:02:54
  but it is true, be very systemic around your life.
• 2:03:04
  There are some of you by reason of what you do, you can't be
• 2:03:07
  dressing in certain ways and say it does not matter.
• 2:03:11
  Those who bless you know how much they are giving you and the
• 2:03:14
  way you are dressing does not justify their sacrifice on your
• 2:03:17
  life. There are some of you right now,
• 2:03:20
  if God leads me to bless you and I say who is your tailor?
• 2:03:23
  You say, well, it depends. Last week it was 1.
• 2:03:26
  I just found somebody new. You don't have anything like
• 2:03:28
  that. It's terrible.
• 2:03:30
  How then can Favor become consistent in your life system?
• 2:03:37
  Who cleans your house? I just call people.
• 2:03:39
  Are you free or come and clean my Palo today?
• 2:03:41
  What is there with getting someone with as little as 3050
• 2:03:45
  thousand naira for most of you, especially because God has
• 2:03:47
  helped you. Why allow your house to be so
• 2:03:50
  dirty and unkept? You drive prospective friends
• 2:03:54
  and business people in your house and you have the money to
• 2:03:58
  keep that house clean. You can't be sweeping it every
• 2:04:00
  day by reason of what you do. Why don't you create a system?
• 2:04:04
  Your house is not too small to have a staff structure of 2-3
• 2:04:08
  people. Give them an orientation.
• 2:04:10
  You're welcome to this house. This is how things happen here.
• 2:04:13
  Run this house as family. This is your job description.
• 2:04:16
  Do this very well when visitors come.
• 2:04:18
  This is how to teach them, this is what you serve them.
• 2:04:20
  If they ask any question beyond you, this is what to do.
• 2:04:23
  Systems. You save yourself embarrassment
• 2:04:27
  just by having systems. For many of us is not lack of
• 2:04:31
  money, is that our life is not systemic enough to attract our
• 2:04:35
  next level to us. There is too much freelancing of
• 2:04:39
  things. Are we together?
• 2:04:42
  A visitor comes to your house and he needs a bottle of water
• 2:04:45
  and there is nobody in the house who can go and bring the bottle
• 2:04:48
  of water. It shouldn't be.
• 2:05:02
  What are the systems that you have put in place?
• 2:05:06
  Now this is a very serious thing.
• 2:05:07
  What are the systems in place you have you have put for family
• 2:05:11
  life, training your children, spending time with your spouse,
• 2:05:16
  bills, welfare that have to do with the home.
• 2:05:19
  These are very serious things for many of us, respectfully
• 2:05:23
  speaking, there is no system to raise the children God has given
• 2:05:26
  you. They just keep growing in your
• 2:05:28
  house. If they are fortunate to find
• 2:05:30
  good friends or a good school to raise them, save Johnny.
• 2:05:33
  If it's unfortunate for them and they find bad friends, save
• 2:05:37
  Johnny. For some of us, respectfully
• 2:05:39
  speaking, our children can be becoming, you know, all kinds of
• 2:05:43
  bad, bad, you know, decadence in the house, and yet we don't
• 2:05:46
  know. We are busy making money.
• 2:05:48
  We are busy doing several things and there is no system.
• 2:05:52
  That was the mistake of Eli. Go and read your Bible.
• 2:05:55
  You see the story of Eli. He was a great man.
• 2:05:58
  Eli was sincere but he was careless over Hofni and Finni
• 2:06:02
  has his sons and as a result it led to his own death.
• 2:06:11
  Your children will not kill you in the name of Jesus family
• 2:06:16
  life. It's very important.
• 2:06:22
  What about your finances? What is the system you have in
• 2:06:28
  place for budgeting? There are some of us today
• 2:06:31
  respectfully speaking with what you are earning per month.
• 2:06:35
  In all fairness and in all sincerity, you may not be ending
• 2:06:39
  the whole world, but there are certain needs you should not
• 2:06:42
  have if there were a system in your life that some of you still
• 2:06:46
  go to borrow money and beg from certain people who are by far
• 2:06:51
  less earnest than you simply because their life is more
• 2:06:54
  systematized. There are certain kinds of bad
• 2:06:57
  days you should not be doing, not with the kind of money you
• 2:07:00
  are earning. No, you are not yet there.
• 2:07:04
  There are certain kinds of respectfully speaking society
• 2:07:07
  living that should not be not with the kind of money you are
• 2:07:11
  earning. As God lifts you, you can adjust
• 2:07:15
  your lifetime to suit the growth, but the pressure of
• 2:07:18
  society. There are people who can go to a
• 2:07:21
  restaurant and millionaires are spending hundred 200,000 because
• 2:07:25
  their businesses will return back that money that night.
• 2:07:28
  But you who even if his favor that came to you favor is
• 2:07:32
  maintained by wisdom. You also join and and spend
• 2:07:37
  200,000 naira that night and you go back there sleeping and you
• 2:07:40
  cannot sleep. Hallelujah.
• 2:07:47
  Look up how about ministries? There are ministries that may
• 2:07:52
  not have the budget to be doing certain things they are doing.
• 2:07:55
  Respectfully speaking, this is with love to the body of Christ.
• 2:08:00
  For many years in this ministry we limited the things that we
• 2:08:04
  did because of the future. And we knew that there will be
• 2:08:07
  times for capital projects and serious finances will be needed,
• 2:08:12
  but there will be need for management to cut away excesses.
• 2:08:17
  And thank God for that wisdom today at the level He has
• 2:08:19
  brought. There is nothing we want to do
• 2:08:21
  that we cannot do. It didn't just happen by favor
• 2:08:24
  alone. Through wisdom, a house is
• 2:08:26
  built. Is someone learning now?
• 2:08:29
  There are people today. When you see them you will think
• 2:08:32
  they have estates, but in truth they do not have a single House
• 2:08:36
  of their own. Why?
• 2:08:37
  They have been earning a lot of money.
• 2:08:40
  I'm a giver, but let me teach you the truth.
• 2:08:43
  Even giving must be guarded with discretion and wisdom.
• 2:08:47
  Just because God mandates that we give does not mean we should
• 2:08:50
  be careless. Some of you are emotional
• 2:08:54
  givers. It's not just revelation
• 2:08:58
  somebody God can provide you 1,000,000 naira and maybe your
• 2:09:03
  state or your area. It can buy even if it's a plot
• 2:09:06
  of land and you can just sit in church hearing me preach now and
• 2:09:09
  say this man Kai and you carry the 1,000,000 now if God let
• 2:09:13
  you, no problem, but that you just stand up emotionally.
• 2:09:17
  Do you know there are people who have given to this ministry and
• 2:09:20
  called the finance department sincerely, I'm not mocking them
• 2:09:23
  later on that they made mistakes.
• 2:09:25
  And please, is there a way I mean it?
• 2:09:28
  I'm not joking for some of you when, when they call, maybe in
• 2:09:40
  your various assemblies or in any meeting, they call for a vow
• 2:09:44
  or they call for giving. You see your colleagues and your
• 2:09:47
  contemporaries come out and out of sheer carnality and pressure,
• 2:09:51
  not the leadership of the Spirit.
• 2:09:53
  How many of you can give 1010 million here And what the Holy
• 2:09:56
  Ghost is restraining you are owing.
• 2:09:58
  You are still paying. You have not paid your children
• 2:10:01
  school fees. Now I'm a giver.
• 2:10:03
  I've taught you giving. There are many people today who
• 2:10:07
  even run away from churches because they vowed vows that
• 2:10:10
  they cannot pay. You went to three churches and
• 2:10:13
  pledged 1010 million and all the men of God know you.
• 2:10:16
  You are running away. Your children are running away.
• 2:10:18
  It was needless. Systems, most people don't
• 2:10:33
  prepare their offering before they come to church.
• 2:10:36
  It is when they see the person who is who is their package of
• 2:10:40
  tights and offerings. They just check and look at
• 2:10:43
  everything. That's why you are not growing
• 2:10:44
  financially. This is the balance.
• 2:10:47
  You can't give God peanuts and check what is here. 1000 you
• 2:10:51
  return it back. 500 you return it back. 100 naira you return it
• 2:10:55
  back. 15 naira you return it back.
• 2:10:57
  Then you carry the bad one and just squeeze it and drop.
• 2:11:00
  And then you are laughing and God is saying I'm seeing your
• 2:11:02
  heart. You ate in a restaurant before
• 2:11:06
  coming to church. You spent 10,000 and you came
• 2:11:09
  and dropped 15 naira. I don't mean to be a bearer of
• 2:11:12
  bad news, but you will not grow that way.
• 2:11:14
  Where your heart is, there your treasure will be.
• 2:11:21
  How about a system for savings? Do you know why pension scheme
• 2:11:24
  works? Aside from corruption and other
• 2:11:27
  things? You know why it works?
• 2:11:28
  I will tell you because there is an automatic system to to deduct
• 2:11:32
  from your salary. Is that true?
• 2:11:34
  All through your lifetime, if they gave you all the money and
• 2:11:37
  save it, depositing it yourself, only 1% of the people who
• 2:11:41
  receive pension today will have it.
• 2:11:42
  They know that there is a limitation in all men, so they
• 2:11:45
  created a system out of it so that after 35 years of service
• 2:11:50
  out of that may be added to it. Maybe I haven't put it in some
• 2:11:53
  investment account with the little game that they can now be
• 2:11:56
  blessing you with it for the rest of your life.
• 2:11:58
  There must be a system to save some of you.
• 2:12:01
  If you calculate all that God has brought to your life today,
• 2:12:05
  January, somebody gave you 1,000,000 for Happy New Year,
• 2:12:07
  somebody gave you 5 million, someone gave you 200,000,
• 2:12:11
  someone gave you 300,000 during your birthday, you got 10
• 2:12:14
  million. You have carried like 30
• 2:12:16
  million. How much do you have now?
• 2:12:19
  15,000 is carelessness. Do you have a system in your
• 2:12:33
  life for replenishing? Listen to my financial series.
• 2:12:37
  Do you have a system in your life?
• 2:12:39
  Do you know there are many people who enjoy birthday
• 2:12:42
  parties? There are many people who enjoy
• 2:12:44
  anniversaries and when it's time for their children's school
• 2:12:47
  fees, they literally stand stranded.
• 2:12:50
  And do you know why nobody helps them?
• 2:12:52
  Because the impression they have given is that I'm comfortable
• 2:12:56
  you can call us for a meeting and spend 30 million and be
• 2:12:59
  asking for 500,000 for your child.
• 2:13:02
  It does not add up. When people know you are
• 2:13:06
  genuinely in need and you demonstrated by diligence to
• 2:13:10
  what God has already given you, people will be very quick to
• 2:13:13
  support you. I tell you this, there are times
• 2:13:17
  people come to me respectfully speaking to ask for help and I
• 2:13:20
  look at them, I look at what they are wearing.
• 2:13:23
  I calculate at least with my mind, look at what this guy is
• 2:13:26
  wearing, look at the kind of car he came out from.
• 2:13:29
  And then he stands arrogantly and he says I don't know,
• 2:13:31
  somebody said I should come and meet you.
• 2:13:32
  I don't. And I said no, this, this man is
• 2:13:34
  not worthy of help. If you help them, maybe just pay
• 2:13:37
  to the school and help the children, but not because of the
• 2:13:39
  person wastage. There are people driving cars
• 2:13:42
  today that are by far bigger than their levels.
• 2:13:48
  You have a car, respectfully Speaking of 50 million, 40
• 2:13:51
  million and you don't have a house.
• 2:13:53
  It's it's not it's not a wise calculation.
• 2:13:58
  Everybody says systems. You may not like me this night,
• 2:14:02
  but I love you. Who's on pray you came to
• 2:14:07
  church. You should live wiser, some of
• 2:14:12
  you. There are some money that should
• 2:14:13
  have come to you. God delayed it until you hear
• 2:14:16
  this message, because if that money had arrived last week with
• 2:14:19
  all the prophecies I've been giving you God, God has allowed
• 2:14:23
  you now because he wants you to. Now that it comes with this
• 2:14:27
  wisdom, those friends I used to call you, has it come?
• 2:14:30
  You tell them. Listen.
• 2:14:31
  Listen to Koinonia Message Part 3 striving for mastery.
• 2:14:39
  Manage your passion for celebration and some of these
• 2:14:44
  excessive things. Let God build you one you can
• 2:14:47
  have to do anything and even give.
• 2:14:53
  Are we together? How about relationships?
• 2:14:58
  What system have you put in place for having and maintaining
• 2:15:02
  the various relationships needed in your life?
• 2:15:06
  Most of us don't have a system. What is the standard in your
• 2:15:10
  life for having friends? Anybody who just smiles at you
• 2:15:14
  and says I like your shoe or you just meet in a program suddenly
• 2:15:17
  becomes your friend. You call them your covenant
• 2:15:19
  friend, bosom friend until they tear you into pieces.
• 2:15:22
  After two weeks you leave them and look for another one.
• 2:15:25
  No, there has to be a standard. What is your standard for having
• 2:15:29
  friends? I've taught you this about
• 2:15:31
  relationships. There are general relationships.
• 2:15:34
  There are seasonal relationships, but there are
• 2:15:37
  covenant or destiny relationships.
• 2:15:40
  There are many of us. You can meet someone for the
• 2:15:42
  first time and in two hours you've told the person
• 2:15:45
  everything about your life. Plus the problem you have with
• 2:15:49
  your spouse, the problem that you have with your man of God,
• 2:15:52
  the problem you have with your children.
• 2:15:54
  And at the end of it, the man laughs.
• 2:15:56
  The day you have a problem with that man.
• 2:15:57
  He has everything in the palm of his hands.
• 2:16:02
  Wiser serpents, Jesus said, and to be gentle as doves.
• 2:16:08
  Is someone getting wiser? Please look at me.
• 2:16:12
  There must be a system to manage your relationships.
• 2:16:14
  I told you my story, my dear mom.
• 2:16:16
  I'm sure she's following, watching now.
• 2:16:18
  Years ago, I didn't used to have that time, not intentionally.
• 2:16:22
  That time, you know, for my family and all of that.
• 2:16:25
  I was busy ministry, justifiably busy and then we used to gather
• 2:16:29
  together 1st of January to pray and after we finish, you know
• 2:16:34
  AOB and my mother made a statement.
• 2:16:36
  I cried that night. My mother said well her
• 2:16:39
  statement is directed to me. She said please, sometimes my
• 2:16:43
  family members also have issues. They want to see me, they want
• 2:16:46
  me to pray for them and she would not mind that even if it
• 2:16:50
  is to tell them what time to be calling me.
• 2:16:52
  I said, my mother, this is the person that everybody who says
• 2:16:58
  hail King of kings, they are the same people who say crucify you.
• 2:17:02
  These are some of the people who stay with you and everybody runs
• 2:17:05
  away. And I went back and I said God
• 2:17:08
  and I made-up my mind that I was going to come up with an A
• 2:17:11
  system of reaching out and at least doing my best to maintain
• 2:17:15
  my relationship with my family member.
• 2:17:17
  Some of you need to do this. Don't generalize your
• 2:17:21
  relationships. Who are the five most important
• 2:17:24
  people in your life today? By reason of #1 the spiritual
• 2:17:28
  contribution they bring to your life.
• 2:17:30
  By reason of #2 their their dependability as friends in your
• 2:17:35
  life. By reason of #3 the level of
• 2:17:38
  magnitude of their financial commitment to your life.
• 2:17:41
  Don't generalize everybody. No, it's a mistake.
• 2:17:45
  That's why I took out time to celebrate my precious workers
• 2:17:49
  and I did that sincerely. I have taught you this year, not
• 2:17:53
  everybody thinks you are a big deal.
• 2:17:55
  Beloved people of God, when you find people who love you
• 2:17:58
  sincerely and believe you are a big deal, don't ignore them.
• 2:18:03
  Some of you, by reason of this teaching, you need to come up
• 2:18:06
  with a system maybe once every week, every two weeks, every
• 2:18:10
  month. If I cannot see my loved ones,
• 2:18:12
  at least I will send them a text, I will call them.
• 2:18:15
  Can I tell you, especially for your parents, whether you like
• 2:18:18
  it or not, someday they will not be here again.
• 2:18:20
  Don't waste the opportunity being a celebrity around the
• 2:18:23
  world to people who only love your gift and not you and forget
• 2:18:27
  the people that really matter in your life.
• 2:18:29
  It's time to reorder your life and create systems.
• 2:18:36
  Let me tell you this sincerely. No matter where I travel to in a
• 2:18:41
  year, no matter what it is, if I have to for any reason, I will
• 2:18:46
  not miss Koinonia. Maybe more than two, three
• 2:18:49
  times. And it has to be a justifiable
• 2:18:51
  reason. Maybe if I travel out and I'm
• 2:18:54
  not able to come, or maybe I'm doing a conference somewhere,
• 2:18:56
  that may be the only reason. But if it is Sunday, you will
• 2:19:01
  find me here as much as possible, the school of
• 2:19:04
  ministry. I make sure that I am there to
• 2:19:06
  teach them by myself. Is it on me?
• 2:19:09
  God called? Why did I say yes?
• 2:19:11
  If I say yes, I must obtain the grace and stay and be serious.
• 2:19:14
  There are some of you here who are men of God.
• 2:19:16
  You are losing your core membership in the name of the
• 2:19:20
  world celebrating you. They will leave you in a
• 2:19:22
  heartbeat the day they find an alternative.
• 2:19:24
  The ones who love you enough to come and sit and be part of the
• 2:19:28
  vision are deserving of your best.
• 2:19:32
  This is true. I learned this from God Sermon,
• 2:19:36
  Bishop Poetico. And so are many of our fathers
• 2:19:39
  of faith in this nation. A few of them have had the
• 2:19:41
  privilege of talking with them, except it is necessary.
• 2:19:45
  They will be home, not out of insecurity.
• 2:19:48
  It is their primary assignment. Can I tell you as much as you
• 2:19:51
  see me all around this nation and around the world, believe me
• 2:19:54
  my dear people, you are my primary assignment.
• 2:19:57
  And as far as God grants grace, I will not.
• 2:20:00
  Failing that, I will make sure that week after week to honor
• 2:20:05
  your sacrifice of taking the risk to be part of this vision
• 2:20:09
  systems. When people know you are that
• 2:20:12
  serious about them, they will be serious about you too.
• 2:20:15
  They can now invite people to come knowing that you will not
• 2:20:18
  waste their time. I have said this.
• 2:20:20
  Human beings are not stupid. If they find out that you are
• 2:20:24
  not contributing constructive value to their life, they may
• 2:20:27
  not run away from you, but they will look for an alternative
• 2:20:31
  that serves them well. Please go back and rewrite your
• 2:20:38
  relationships again. Who are the people who have
• 2:20:43
  shown you the greatest honor in your life?
• 2:20:46
  Write it down. The first five.
• 2:20:48
  Invest in that relationship. Who are the first five people
• 2:20:52
  who you know are shoulders you can lean on?
• 2:20:55
  No matter what happens in your tears and in your smiling, they
• 2:20:59
  will be there. They are not there for when you
• 2:21:01
  are happy. If you tell them today they
• 2:21:04
  diagnose me of something, they will say thank God I'm here.
• 2:21:07
  We will die here. We will trust God and release
• 2:21:10
  our faith. Don't have those kind of people
• 2:21:12
  in your life and push them away in the name of I don't trust
• 2:21:15
  anybody. No, I love everybody, but
• 2:21:22
  everybody does not occupy the same place in my life as far as
• 2:21:25
  relationship is concerned. There are people who have gone
• 2:21:28
  out of their way to show me love, honor, kindness, to invest
• 2:21:32
  in my life, not just in monetary times.
• 2:21:35
  But these are people that if they see me crying today, they
• 2:21:38
  will not ask why are you crying? They will look for a
• 2:21:40
  handkerchief first and make sure the crying stops before they say
• 2:21:44
  why are you crying? How could I throw such people
• 2:21:46
  out of my life? If you want to strive for
• 2:21:54
  mastery, this is what you must understand.
• 2:21:56
  That's why you can see a few people.
• 2:21:58
  They are never lonely. They are never left alone
• 2:22:01
  because they've created systems. Are we together?
• 2:22:09
  Have you created a system on giving?
• 2:22:12
  There are people who once blessed you, who once helped
• 2:22:15
  you. Some of them are aged today,
• 2:22:17
  some of them don't have the privilege to be as strong as
• 2:22:19
  they were when the government. Have you created a system around
• 2:22:22
  your finances to make sure that at least you are reaching out to
• 2:22:25
  them? You see, politicians here have a
• 2:22:28
  lesson that they teach us. Most of them, this is what they
• 2:22:31
  do. They remember people who have
• 2:22:33
  been there for them and respectfully speaking, even if
• 2:22:36
  they are pretending it, they do it there so that the rainy days
• 2:22:40
  they can, the person can remember them.
• 2:22:42
  You must add your impact in the minds of people so that when the
• 2:22:46
  rainy days come, they will remember you.
• 2:22:56
  If you ever see any man excelling in life, in ministry,
• 2:23:01
  in business, they systematize their success by helping them to
• 2:23:07
  reign, helping them to understand what they need to do
• 2:23:12
  to reign. I put a system in my life to
• 2:23:18
  make sure my prayer life never goes down.
• 2:23:21
  A system of refueling, a system of maintenance, a system of
• 2:23:26
  retreat. If I go on a retreat today,
• 2:23:29
  Colonia should not suffer because I'm going on a retreat.
• 2:23:32
  A system has been put in place. Father, have you put a system in
• 2:23:38
  your house that if you are caught up in traffic or you are
• 2:23:42
  not able to come back home, the school fees of your children
• 2:23:44
  will still be paid, Your wife will still be taken care of.
• 2:23:47
  Man of God, have you put a system in your church that even
• 2:23:50
  when you are not around, the fire on the altar never goes
• 2:23:53
  down? That your values become
• 2:23:55
  uncompromising? Have you put a system in place?
• 2:24:01
  Striving for Mastery Part 1. The Foundation Part 2.
• 2:24:07
  The Laws of dominion Part 3. The power of systems and
• 2:24:13
  structures. I have been holding this mic for
• 2:24:19
  at least one or two hours now and yet it has failed to stop
• 2:24:23
  because there is a system that powers it and for as long as the
• 2:24:26
  conditions for that system is in place, I can hold this from
• 2:24:30
  morning even up till night. My goal is for you to become
• 2:24:34
  like Jesus in every way, 1st in your character and your stature
• 2:24:39
  and then through knowledge and high level illumination that you
• 2:24:43
  truly become people of influence and power that God can do much
• 2:24:47
  with you. Witnesses indeed, according to
• 2:24:50
  John chapter 1 and verse six and seven, he says there was a man
• 2:24:54
  sent from God, his name was John.
• 2:24:58
  And he says the same came for a witness to bear witness to the
• 2:25:04
  light that all men to him might believe.
• 2:25:08
  Every teaching you receive here, series after series, and there
• 2:25:12
  are so many of them lined up, every miracle service here,
• 2:25:18
  every time of counseling, every time of prayer, every activity
• 2:25:23
  in this ministry was designed by the Spirit of God and true
• 2:25:27
  wisdom to work in synergy, to build you to become a certain
• 2:25:31
  kind of people. My challenge for you tonight is
• 2:25:38
  that God desires that you leave the realm of trial and error.
• 2:25:42
  Man of God, enough of coming on stage without what to preach and
• 2:25:47
  giving flimsy explanations and say you know my schedule is busy
• 2:25:51
  enough of amateurism in display or communicating the word.
• 2:25:56
  It's time to strive towards perfection.
• 2:25:59
  Hebrews chapter 6 and verse one as we prepare to pray Hebrews 6.
• 2:26:05
  Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of
• 2:26:09
  Christ, it says let us go on to perfection, onto perfection,
• 2:26:16
  onto perfection, a higher level of maturity.
• 2:26:20
  It's time for people to be able to say, I know that if we meet
• 2:26:24
  this preacher, my life will change.
• 2:26:26
  Why? Because they know that there is
• 2:26:29
  a system around your life. Yes, it is true, we are humans,
• 2:26:32
  but within the boundary of God's grace and principle, you can
• 2:26:36
  become so exceptional that your life becomes an inspiration even
• 2:26:41
  to nations. Hallelujah, in one minute as
• 2:27:33
  you're standing looking at me, many of you falling.
• 2:27:35
  From across the globe, the Spirit of God is asking you
• 2:27:38
  right now. Identify the areas of
• 2:27:42
  inefficiency in your life. Identify the areas of consistent
• 2:27:48
  compromises in your life. Identify the areas of
• 2:27:53
  inefficiency swings, highs and lows.
• 2:27:57
  For some of you is your spiritual growth.
• 2:27:59
  You have never maintained an ever increasing consistent
• 2:28:04
  spiritual life for one full year.
• 2:28:06
  You must backslide somewhere and someone prays for you and you
• 2:28:09
  get back. It's time to strive for mastery.
• 2:28:13
  There are some of you, your finances.
• 2:28:15
  You have never had one year debt free, one year trouble free, one
• 2:28:21
  full year that you didn't have to borrow money.
• 2:28:23
  You can strive for mastery. For some of you, it's your
• 2:28:27
  family life. For some of you, it's the area
• 2:28:30
  of your mind. I have discussed a number of
• 2:28:34
  areas. For some of you is your
• 2:28:36
  organization. You have a great organization,
• 2:28:39
  but there is no leadership and no management.
• 2:28:42
  Everything is hazard, no predictability.
• 2:28:45
  You do not have the structure that can hold the growth you are
• 2:28:48
  looking for. It's time to reinvent yourself
• 2:28:50
  through wisdom. Some of you by Monday.
• 2:28:52
  Tomorrow you need to go to your place of work, gather your stuff
• 2:28:57
  together. No matter how large and how
• 2:28:59
  small that store is, you are not producing anything tomorrow.
• 2:29:02
  It's a leadership training. Ladies and gentlemen, I have
• 2:29:05
  learned something. We have found the key to our
• 2:29:07
  inefficiency. There are no standards in this
• 2:29:10
  place of work. You come to work when you want
• 2:29:12
  to. You don't come when you want to.
• 2:29:14
  You wear anything. You say anything.
• 2:29:16
  There is no code that governs how we speak.
• 2:29:19
  We don't have ethics. There is no code of conduct,
• 2:29:22
  there is no code of operation, no modus operandi.
• 2:29:25
  We look like different people even though we are selling the
• 2:29:28
  same product. It has to change.
• 2:29:33
  You have leaders and pastors under you.
• 2:29:35
  Everybody comes to preach what he wants to say.
• 2:29:38
  That is wrong within the context of that spiritual organization.
• 2:29:43
  If you don't come and carry a mic and say, well, I'm a pastor
• 2:29:45
  in a ministry board, I will preach what I like.
• 2:29:47
  No, no, you have to be able to work in keeping with the
• 2:29:50
  mandates given to the man of God, at least within the time of
• 2:29:54
  your service. There faithfulness is demanded.
• 2:29:58
  Are you getting what I'm saying now?
• 2:30:00
  Very important. Have you seen certain
• 2:30:02
  corporations that when you meet three different staff, they
• 2:30:05
  sound like 3 different people? This one says welcome, God bless
• 2:30:09
  you. How are you?
• 2:30:10
  How can we help you? The other say, how are you and
• 2:30:12
  and he's talking and you're saying you were trained by the
• 2:30:14
  same person. Say yes, it's time to go back
• 2:30:17
  and standardize your results. The nations are waiting for you.
• 2:30:20
  You're a businessman. Standardize your results.
• 2:30:23
  You are a man of God. Standardize your results.
• 2:30:26
  If they invite you for a healing meeting, let it be that healing
• 2:30:29
  happens. If they invite you for a
• 2:30:31
  breakthrough meeting, let it be that life's change.
• 2:30:34
  I vowed A vow to God and I've told you that nobody on earth
• 2:30:38
  will ever meet me twice before they are changed.
• 2:30:45
  But it's not just an empty statement.
• 2:30:47
  You must defend it by the fire and the consistency of running
• 2:30:52
  your spiritual life. You didn't waste your time
• 2:30:58
  tonight, I assure you. You came to church to learn
• 2:31:01
  something. For some of you, this is the
• 2:31:03
  reason why increase has not come.
• 2:31:05
  No matter the prophecy, increase will be a waste.
• 2:31:08
  There is no structure. I prophesied as I was commanded.
• 2:31:12
  Life came to the bones and the Bible says when life came to the
• 2:31:16
  bones, flesh came upon the bones, bone to his bone.
• 2:31:21
  There are family members that need to go back and sit down
• 2:31:24
  right now and say, listen, we need to put a system and a
• 2:31:28
  structure in this house. Are we together?
• 2:31:32
  We can't have five children. One is saying good morning, 1 is
• 2:31:35
  saying how far? One is saying what is your
• 2:31:37
  business? There has to be a structure.
• 2:31:42
  The mother cannot be responsible and the father is irresponsible,
• 2:31:46
  does not care. No, there has to be a structure
• 2:31:49
  and a system. Are we together?
• 2:31:53
  Who pays the school fees of the children?
• 2:31:56
  Who is the one paying and who is helping?
• 2:31:58
  Let it be defined. Let your wife not be paying the
• 2:32:03
  school fees and then saying after all you are doing it.
• 2:32:05
  The most important thing is we are one.
• 2:32:07
  What is the job description in this House?
• 2:32:09
  If she's paying the school fees effortlessly?
• 2:32:11
  You must be ready to cook sometimes too effortlessly.
• 2:32:18
  So structure. I challenge the man in this
• 2:32:24
  ministry. You know what your mandate is.
• 2:32:26
  Don't be irresponsible. This is not an irresponsible
• 2:32:29
  ministry. Stand to your mandate.
• 2:32:31
  Take care of your families. Don't sit down and cross your
• 2:32:34
  leg and follow these things unbelievers do and punish the
• 2:32:38
  woman just because she said yes to you.
• 2:32:40
  No, let there be discipline. Every man here should get up is
• 2:32:45
  your responsibility by God. As far as the context of family
• 2:32:48
  is concerned to make sure that your children eat.
• 2:32:51
  I know that things may not be. I don't have money have
• 2:32:54
  relationships then I've taught you that relationships are
• 2:32:57
  currencies too. If you don't have money, respect
• 2:33:00
  those who have it and honor and serve your way to their life so
• 2:33:03
  that you can enjoy the leverage. But where you don't have
• 2:33:09
  resources and you are arrogant, again, you are designing
• 2:33:11
  failure. How about spirituality?
• 2:33:16
  Please let me challenge you. Take this issue of your
• 2:33:18
  spiritual life seriously when you get or pray okay in this
• 2:33:24
  family. Some of you may need to go
• 2:33:26
  online, download Bible study plan or scripture reading plan
• 2:33:31
  or a devotional that that suits you that is comprehensive.
• 2:33:34
  What is the system in place for your prayer as a man of God?
• 2:33:39
  Is there a system for the prayer of your ministry?
• 2:33:42
  Is there a system for the people to lend God's word?
• 2:33:45
  Is there a principle, a system for them to be trained to know?
• 2:33:50
  Don't assume that just because you are sincere, the system will
• 2:33:53
  work. You have to bring people
• 2:33:55
  together and teach them. Nobody within your care should
• 2:34:00
  outgrow the need to be mentored and helped.
• 2:34:02
  Anybody who outgrows your mentorship has outgrown being
• 2:34:06
  around your space, too. Are you ready to pray in one
• 2:34:16
  minute? Please.
• 2:34:17
  No movement around. You are going to cry to God from
• 2:34:19
  the depth of your heart. Lord, I'm ready to step up to a
• 2:34:24
  life and a Christian experience that produces results.
• 2:34:28
  Indeed, I am tired of shadow boxing my life up to date down
• 2:34:33
  today, tomorrow, spiritually, financially and otherwise.
• 2:34:37
  You have touched me tonight. The power of systems and
• 2:34:41
  structures. No wonder the bones in my
• 2:34:43
  destiny have not come back to become a great army because the
• 2:34:47
  bone has refused to come to its bowl.
• 2:34:50
  I take responsibility for my state right now and I obtain
• 2:34:54
  grace. Someone open your mouth and
• 2:34:56
  begin to pray. Please pray from the depth of
• 2:34:58
  your heart outside. Pray all the overflows.
• 2:35:02
  Pray following by way of television praying or online
• 2:35:06
  pray. Make sure you are praying.
• 2:35:20
  We're wrapping up. Talk to Jesus.
• 2:35:26
  My life needs to shine forth. This is the season of strange
• 2:35:30
  result. It's my season of marvelous
• 2:35:33
  light. Lord, you have brought me light.
• 2:35:36
  I need to systematize my results, systematize my
• 2:35:40
  spiritual growth, systematize my mental development, systematize
• 2:35:46
  my approach to life, approach to learning, my business, my
• 2:35:50
  organization, the ministry You've committed to my hands.
• 2:35:57
  You are there to help me, but I obtain grace to put systems and
• 2:36:01
  structures, leadership structures.
• 2:36:04
  A modus operandi that is derived from scripture that will produce
• 2:36:08
  consistency of results. A code of conduct and a code of
• 2:36:17
  operation. Pray.
• 2:36:19
  A code of conduct and a code of operation.
• 2:36:23
  A system that is derived from scripture that governs how I
• 2:36:28
  behave and respond to life. A system derived from scripture
• 2:36:32
  that governs how I do the things I do that my actions become
• 2:36:38
  predictable. Now on to the Lamb upon the
• 2:36:48
  throne. We raise a sound.
• 2:36:53
  We raise a sound, for He is God and God alone.
• 2:37:09
  One more time. Now to the Lamb upon the.
• 2:37:28
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 2:37:38
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hear me, I want to speak over
• 2:38:04
  your life now, and I want you to receive it with your heart, not
• 2:38:08
  just by the lifting of hands. But from the.
• 2:38:11
  Depth of your spirit. Listen, this organization is
• 2:38:17
  related to luck. There were 5000 people randomly
• 2:38:22
  arranged in that crusade ground. But when it was time for
• 2:38:26
  feeding, Jesus says before bread comes, let them sit down,
• 2:38:32
  arrange everybody, let there be order, structure it so that the
• 2:38:36
  distribution will be well. Can you imagine that even with
• 2:38:40
  that order, there were still 12 baskets?
• 2:38:42
  Imagine what would have been wasted in the disorder.
• 2:38:48
  I've been to Redemption camp, I've been to MFM camp, I've been
• 2:38:52
  to almost if not all the major campgrounds.
• 2:38:55
  By the grace of God. Sometimes I look at this
• 2:38:58
  magnificent ministries and this campgrounds and I wonder what
• 2:39:03
  system did they create to manage people like this?
• 2:39:07
  Do you know what it takes to manage people like that?
• 2:39:13
  How do you sit down and know that over 30,000 branches,
• 2:39:17
  20,000 branches, 10,000 branches are healthy and you are in one
• 2:39:22
  place? And the Holy Spirit told me God
• 2:39:25
  is still seated on the throne. And yet every Christian, he has
• 2:39:28
  not had to come to the earth to follow compliance.
• 2:39:32
  Even in heaven, when Lucifer rebelled, it was the system that
• 2:39:36
  fought him. God already put his system.
• 2:39:38
  God never had to stand up from the throne and say, ah, who is
• 2:39:41
  threatening my stay? There was already an allocation
• 2:39:44
  of responsibilities. The Bible never said God fought.
• 2:39:48
  He said Michael. He didn't say any Angel.
• 2:39:51
  There was an Angel allocated to make sure justice.
• 2:39:55
  God is the one who sits upon a throne made-up of righteousness
• 2:39:59
  and justice. But because of system, even in
• 2:40:02
  heaven today you don't find people run into the throne room
• 2:40:06
  just to bow. There is order and there is
• 2:40:08
  system. There is what must be said
• 2:40:11
  before they say what is alarm. Heaven without evil still has
• 2:40:17
  doors and gates, say systems. When Jesus walked upon the
• 2:40:22
  earth, he told the people, let them sit down, and when they sat
• 2:40:30
  down he carried 5 loaf, 2 fish. He blessed it.
• 2:40:35
  He said now go to the system that is already organized and
• 2:40:39
  begin to prosper them. Listen the testimonies that will
• 2:40:42
  come out from this, because many of you, you see this is what the
• 2:40:47
  devil has been fighting. This is why your Christian
• 2:40:50
  experience does not look exciting, because you are up to
• 2:40:53
  date with zeal and passion and then you go down, sometimes
• 2:40:58
  painfully, then you start again. But my Bible says the path of
• 2:41:02
  the just should be as a shining light that shines ever brighter.
• 2:41:10
  Go and write out every area that is not working in your life or
• 2:41:14
  the area that is epileptic in its result.
• 2:41:18
  You will check there and find out that a system and a
• 2:41:20
  structure is what is missing. Maybe not lack of character,
• 2:41:24
  maybe not sincerity of heart. Some of you there are friends
• 2:41:28
  that are long overdue to get out of your life.
• 2:41:30
  Wrong associations. Most of them are unbelievers.
• 2:41:33
  But because you have not created a system in your life, there is
• 2:41:37
  no legitimacy to say no. They are your classmates, they
• 2:41:39
  are your your friends. They are your tribes people.
• 2:41:42
  When you create a system, let the system do the fighting.
• 2:41:48
  Are we together? You're going to pray one last
• 2:41:52
  prayer. You're going to ask the Lord to
• 2:41:55
  visit that area in your life where your resolve need to be
• 2:41:59
  predictable in your Christian experience, that one area.
• 2:42:04
  Go ahead and pray. You're about to receive
• 2:42:06
  something to cup up this series. You have learnt about the
• 2:42:11
  spirituality of life. You have learnt about the fact
• 2:42:16
  that the realm of the spirit controls this realm.
• 2:42:20
  You have learned the various laws that make for dominion.
• 2:42:24
  Now the Lord has brought us into this understanding of systems
• 2:42:29
  and structures. Bone to his bone.
• 2:42:34
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. When Joseph was living a
• 2:42:41
  prophecy as Prime Minister, he gave them a word.
• 2:42:44
  He said someday the Lord is going to bring you an exodus out
• 2:42:48
  of this land. And he says make sure as you are
• 2:42:51
  going carry my bones with you. Do you know what you are saying?
• 2:42:55
  Do not forget the structure. Do not forget the formula that
• 2:43:00
  made you to excel even in a strange land.
• 2:43:03
  As you leave this land, carry that understanding with you, not
• 2:43:07
  just a physical skeleton alone. Carry that understanding.
• 2:43:11
  If it works for you in in Egypt, it will work for you any other.
• 2:43:16
  Place every organization runs by systems and structures.
• 2:43:28
  There is no lock. When the results become
• 2:43:31
  sustainable, you can have short term results.
• 2:43:34
  That is purely by lock. Man of God.
• 2:43:38
  It's time for the ministry to rise.
• 2:43:41
  I don't doubt your call. You are anointed.
• 2:43:44
  You are a prophet, you're an apostle, you're a pastor, you're
• 2:43:46
  an evangelist. But the problem is the system
• 2:43:49
  businessman with what you carry. You should be relating with the
• 2:43:52
  kings in that industry. But lack of system has brought
• 2:43:57
  you down. It's time to go back and reorder
• 2:43:59
  your life. Let me be able to know that
• 2:44:02
  every day you pray, every day you study scripture.
• 2:44:08
  Let me be able to know that you have predefined times when you
• 2:44:11
  fast. You don't have to announce it
• 2:44:13
  and tell everybody. There are times that there can
• 2:44:16
  be corporate fast, but when is your own personal one?
• 2:44:19
  Let me be able to know the times that you can go for retreat
• 2:44:21
  alone. What is the system in your life
• 2:44:23
  when there is an attack? What is the system in your life
• 2:44:26
  when something good happens? To celebrate, you must go back
• 2:44:29
  and give your life that level of meticulous definition.
• 2:44:33
  And I pray. For you, in the name of Jesus,
• 2:44:35
  that whilst you are focused doing that, may the grace of God
• 2:44:38
  walk for you, may the messy of God speak on your behalf in the
• 2:44:42
  name of Jesus Christ. Anywhere you have not gotten
• 2:44:47
  sustainable results by reason of this series.
• 2:44:50
  In the name of Jesus, the power to begin to command results,
• 2:44:54
  receive it in the name of Jesus Christ and hear me.
• 2:45:00
  Anything that should have been released in your life, what was
• 2:45:04
  withheld, whether by demonic forces or it was a deliberate
• 2:45:10
  act of God to help you so you do not lose it when it comes.
• 2:45:14
  I declare that now that you know these things, may the mercy of
• 2:45:18
  God release it to you now. There will be no wastage in your
• 2:45:24
  life from today. No spiritual wastage, no
• 2:45:29
  financial wastage, no relational wastage, no mental wastage, no
• 2:45:35
  depleting of your health in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:45:40
  And hear me, for those of you who have, who are now
• 2:45:44
  experiencing any kind of depletion or any kind of trouble
• 2:45:48
  that came directly because you did not understand systems and
• 2:45:52
  structures. Whether you are owing
• 2:45:54
  financially or maybe your health has deteriorated as a result of
• 2:45:58
  this or your relationships have plunged into misery, or
• 2:46:01
  something is wrong with your spiritual life, the same way the
• 2:46:04
  health something grew back. By the mercy of God, I decree
• 2:46:08
  and declare that His message speaks to that issue now.
• 2:46:16
  Everything dead or dying in your life by this proclamation, it
• 2:46:21
  jacks back to life now. But like I always say, there are
• 2:46:29
  two areas that are my main focus.
• 2:46:31
  Number one is your spiritual life #2 is your finances.
• 2:46:35
  Let me speak over both in the name of Jesus.
• 2:46:38
  That the least among us here. May you be as great as David,
• 2:46:43
  that the least among us globally, the global Koinonia
• 2:46:47
  family, may the least among us by grace be as great as David,
• 2:46:52
  and even for the body of Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, May
• 2:46:57
  God begin to mature the Saints across denominations, across
• 2:47:02
  regions, across nations, in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:47:08
  Then I pray for your finances that when men say there is a
• 2:47:12
  casting down for you, I decree and declare by the power of
• 2:47:16
  prophecy may you say there is a lifting up.
• 2:47:21
  I want you to believe there is a grace for what I'm telling you.
• 2:47:25
  I'm saying it again in the name of Jesus.
• 2:47:27
  Anyone here who is in need of financial breakthroughs because
• 2:47:31
  of seasons in your life that you are in, I stand by the God who
• 2:47:35
  has shown mercy that in the name of Jesus, may those doors be
• 2:47:39
  open speedily, open speedily, open speedily.
• 2:47:49
  May my God touch the heart of men to bring treasures and
• 2:47:55
  blessings to you. And let me pray over you,
• 2:48:00
  whatever it is that you do, the work that you do, weather,
• 2:48:04
  ministry, your career, business, whatever it is, in the name of
• 2:48:08
  Jesus, I am power to begin to produce results in the name of
• 2:48:16
  Jesus Christ. Thank you Heavenly Father, in
• 2:48:20
  Jesus name. I pray just a minute or two you
• 2:48:23
  can go ahead and celebrate Jesus.
• 2:48:25
  I want to make the altar call right now.
• 2:48:28
  Hallelujah. Everything happens in this
• 2:48:32
  Kingdom because God designed His system.
• 2:48:36
  See time and harvest, impartation, spiritual growth,
• 2:48:42
  and now salvation. Let's minimize movement as I
• 2:48:45
  make this altar call. It is always my joy and delight
• 2:48:50
  to give people an opportunity who need Jesus sincerely and
• 2:48:53
  desperately in their life. The Bible says the Lord added
• 2:48:56
  daily to them as many as should be saved.
• 2:48:59
  Every time God's people come, there are always those who are
• 2:49:03
  to be saved. There are people here in this
• 2:49:05
  auditorium and all the overflows following by way of television
• 2:49:09
  and the Internet. You are saying, Apostle, thank
• 2:49:12
  you so much. I desire to begin this
• 2:49:14
  experience with God, but I need the salvation of my soul or you
• 2:49:20
  are here. You are saying apostle, I love
• 2:49:22
  Jesus but my life has gone haywire and I need restoration.
• 2:49:26
  Please make sure that you are not ashamed to say anyone is
• 2:49:30
  looking at me. This is between you and the God
• 2:49:32
  of heaven. Wherever you are.
• 2:49:34
  We have just one minute for you. I want you to leave your seat
• 2:49:37
  right now and come and stand here everyone, God bless you.
• 2:49:42
  People are coming. Take that bold step and come to
• 2:49:46
  Jesus. God bless you as you come.
• 2:49:49
  Make sure you win that war. You are dedicating your life to
• 2:49:52
  Jesus. You are making that decision.
• 2:49:54
  God bless you. They are coming.
• 2:49:56
  Are you celebrating them? All the other the overflows, you
• 2:49:59
  follow suit. Come to Jesus, He's able to give
• 2:50:03
  you a new beginning. You can start afresh again.
• 2:50:06
  Apostle, I want to come, but I'm not sure.
• 2:50:09
  I remember giving my heart to Jesus, but things have gone
• 2:50:12
  haywire. Can I join them?
• 2:50:14
  You are most welcome. Very quickly join them.
• 2:50:16
  He is able to save even to the uttermost.
• 2:50:19
  He will give you a new beginning.
• 2:50:23
  Hallelujah young and old keep coming.
• 2:50:32
  Hallelujah. If you're joining them, please
• 2:50:34
  hurry up. I want to pray now.
• 2:50:36
  Thank you so much for all of you who have come to make this
• 2:50:40
  decision. The Bible says as many as would
• 2:50:43
  come to Him, He will in no wise despise.
• 2:50:46
  Thank you for the courage to make this glorious decision.
• 2:50:49
  Jesus said if you reject me before men or deny me before
• 2:50:54
  men, that I would deny you before my Father.
• 2:50:57
  He has a chance for you to start afresh.
• 2:51:00
  With Jesus, even if not anew, he gives you room to start afresh.
• 2:51:06
  Thank you so much for coming. I want you to lift your right
• 2:51:09
  hand, if you will, all of you who are here and those who are
• 2:51:13
  connecting by way of television and Internet, you can pray the
• 2:51:16
  same prayer. The power of God is there to
• 2:51:18
  ensure that you become recipients of this glorious
• 2:51:21
  life. Say Lord Jesus, say it again
• 2:51:27
  convincingly, Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word.
• 2:51:33
  I believe in you that you are the Son of God.
• 2:51:38
  I believe that you died for me. I believe that you rose again
• 2:51:44
  for my justification. Right now, I make Jesus Savior
• 2:51:51
  of my soul, Lord of my life, and my King.
• 2:51:56
  I declare that the power of sin, of Satan, of hell and the grave
• 2:52:03
  is broken. Over my life I receive eternal
• 2:52:07
  life into my spirit. I receive the abundance of
• 2:52:10
  grace, even the gift of righteousness and I declare that
• 2:52:15
  I reign in life. I go for whatever and backward
• 2:52:20
  never in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.
• 2:52:23
  Keep your hands lifted. Father, thank you so much for
• 2:52:25
  this ones. You have brought them to Jesus
• 2:52:28
  and I pray by the authority of scripture that their sins are
• 2:52:31
  forgiven. I also declare upon you that the
• 2:52:34
  power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over your
• 2:52:38
  life. I declare that by the authority
• 2:52:41
  of scripture you are recipients of the life of God.
• 2:52:44
  And from today and forever you go forward ever and backward
• 2:52:49
  never. I commend you to the ministry of
• 2:52:51
  the world and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:52:54
  May you be established and grounded in righteousness, for
• 2:52:57
  in Jesus name I pray, Amen and Amen.
• 2:53:00
  God bless you. Thank you so very much.
• 2:53:02
  May I request that you move to my right, which is your left.
• 2:53:05
  You have the counsellors waving their hands to you.
• 2:53:09
  They'll have a word with you and then you'll be back to your
• 2:53:11
  seat. Let's celebrate them.
• 2:53:12
  Koinonia. Thank you so very much.
• 2:53:16
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Thank you so very much.
• 2:53:20
  Please may I request that after the grace because of the rain,
• 2:53:25
  as much as God grants you the grace, if you can give someone a
• 2:53:29
  lift that you find. Even though I know that because
• 2:53:31
  of the times that we live in, you know, people are trying to
• 2:53:33
  be careful. But at least if and when you
• 2:53:36
  can, please do well to help someone so that it can
• 2:53:40
  complement with in addition to some of the arrangements that
• 2:53:44
  have been made, the boss arrangements and so on and so
• 2:53:46
  forth. May the Lord bless you in the
• 2:53:48
  name of Jesus. And again, do remember that
• 2:53:51
  every time you come, please do not come alone.
• 2:53:54
  Do not come alone. There are many people who need
• 2:53:57
  to be saved. There are many people who need
• 2:53:59
  to be mentored. They need to access light based
• 2:54:03
  on scripture. Let your life be the link and
• 2:54:06
  the platform for them to receive this.
• 2:54:08
  Rise up on your feet as we close for tonight.
• 2:54:11
  Thank you so much for your patience and your love.
• 2:54:13
  The Lord bless you and may your week beginning be an excellent
• 2:54:16
  one. You will see the hand of God in
• 2:54:19
  your life all through this week. Go and excel.
• 2:54:22
  Go and reign in Jesus name. Your fire and your hunger for
• 2:54:26
  God will remain afloat. In the name of Jesus you go from
• 2:54:30
  glory to glory and grace to grace in Jesus name.
• 2:54:34
  God bless you. Let's share the grace and
• 2:54:36
  fellowship, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of
• 2:54:39
  God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:54:43
  Rest and abide with us now and forevermore.
• 2:54:45
  Amen. Surely goodness and mercies
• 2:54:48
  follow us all the days of our lives as we dwell in the House
• 2:54:51
  of the Lord forever and ever. Amen.
• 2:54:55
  God bless you and see you on Sunday.
• 2:55:17
  I will never be in the same. I've touched Your Grace, My life
• 2:55:22
  has changed. I will never be in the same.
• 2:55:27
  I've heard the way my life has changed.
• 2:55:33
  I will never be in the same. I will touch you.
• 2:55:38
  My life has changed. I will never be.
• 2:55:45
  I will never, never. The.
• 2:57:05
  The. Lord of Lord, you reign.
