- 0:00Speaker 1: So please, with Jesus joy in our hearts. Can you
- 0:04Speaker 1: stand as well. Welcome our brother and friend. We are
- 0:09Speaker 1: posed to Joshua Salomon. Somebody shout, somebody, child, Gods, general.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Hallelujah, Raise the Lord, Raise the Lord.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Now, thank you. Glory be the name of the Lord.
- 0:51Speaker 3: It's an honor again to be here. Please help me,
- 0:53Speaker 3: honor Bishop, and it's their wife again. Hallelujah. Let's lift
- 1:05Speaker 3: our hands to heaven and asks a Lord to speak
- 1:07Speaker 3: to us this morning.
- 1:10Speaker 4: Father, speak to me.
- 1:13Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus, For the Bible declares that
- 1:16Speaker 3: the entrance of your word, it gives light and even
- 1:22Speaker 3: understanding onto the sample to turn my life around, given
- 1:55Speaker 3: by the power of Polish spirits. For in Jesus' name,
- 2:02Speaker 3: we pray. In Jesus' name, we pray. Please be seated.
- 2:09Speaker 3: I like to start my very brief session this morning
- 2:13Speaker 3: by just communicating my contemplation. As we drove coming here,
- 2:23Speaker 3: I just thought how strategic these meetings are in shaping
- 2:31Speaker 3: the spiritual discipline of many people. I know that for
- 2:35Speaker 3: most people we may not realize the value the way
- 2:38Speaker 3: this conference is structured, but believe me, anybody who submits
- 2:43Speaker 3: himself methodically to this kind of training. There is a
- 2:48Speaker 3: certain spiritual level you cannot go below. Allelujah. The spiritual
- 2:58Speaker 3: state of any territory will always be, among many other factors,
- 3:06Speaker 3: a reflection of the quality of the spiritual leaders within
- 3:11Speaker 3: the territory. Among the many factors that determine the extent
- 3:18Speaker 3: of fire, the extent of revival of any believer within
- 3:23Speaker 3: a predefined territory is the quality of the spiritual leaders
- 3:28Speaker 3: who mentor whose shape, who discipline, and who build those people.
- 3:34Speaker 3: No one that the Bible says, strike the shepherd, and
- 3:36Speaker 3: it said the sheep will scatter?
- 3:38Speaker 4: Is that true?
- 3:39Speaker 3: So when you have spiritual leaders who are God fearing
- 3:44Speaker 3: vibrants at the cotton edge, ensuring that their territories experience God,
- 3:50Speaker 3: it's only a matter of time and you will see
- 3:53Speaker 3: all kinds of spiritual manifestations happening within the territory. It
- 3:59Speaker 3: is my prayer there for that we value these disciplines
- 4:04Speaker 3: and do not take them for granted.
- 4:06Speaker 4: There are many regions.
- 4:07Speaker 3: By the privilege of God's grace and by the privilege
- 4:12Speaker 3: of what I do, I travel across any and all regions,
- 4:17Speaker 3: and I can tell you that there are regions where
- 4:19Speaker 3: you can sense it is so palpable, the level of
- 4:26Speaker 3: spiritual look, warmness, and laxity that is within those territories.
- 4:32Speaker 3: And then you will find pockets of zillious people, especially
- 4:36Speaker 3: young people, but there is no metathodical structure to be
- 4:40Speaker 3: able to nurture their desires and to grow them into
- 4:44Speaker 3: very strong people. So I truly once again want to
- 4:48Speaker 3: honor not only the bishop this time around, but to
- 4:52Speaker 3: honor the spiritual leaders within this territory and its environs.
- 4:56Speaker 4: God bless you, God bless you.
- 5:01Speaker 3: I have always observed I thank God for the honor
- 5:04Speaker 3: that I receive every time I travel across regions. But
- 5:08Speaker 3: I'm always very careful to say that my intent in
- 5:12Speaker 3: honoring meetings and traveling from praise to place is not
- 5:17Speaker 3: to downplay, to demean or trivialize what God's people are
- 5:22Speaker 3: already doing in that region. My assignment is to stand
- 5:27Speaker 3: in unity with the vessels within the region and to
- 5:30Speaker 3: lift up the name of Jesus and to strengthen them allelujah.
- 5:36Speaker 3: I do not come to a territory to give an
- 5:39Speaker 3: impression as though the leaders are just joking and playing games.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Now all of us together, I'm only here for a
- 5:47Speaker 3: few more hours at best a few days, and then
- 5:50Speaker 3: I'm gone. But the spiritual leaders who are planted here
- 5:54Speaker 3: are the ones who will continue that work. And so
- 5:57Speaker 3: it's a culture. I think maybe this is a word
- 5:59Speaker 3: for a man of God. Any time God gives you
- 6:02Speaker 3: an opportunity to travel across a territory, do not downplay
- 6:07Speaker 3: the effort of the spiritual voices within those territory, no
- 6:11Speaker 3: matter how little it is true that your coming would
- 6:14Speaker 3: help them. See Clara, it is true that you're coming
- 6:17Speaker 3: might impact certain graces, but no single individual sustains the
- 6:22Speaker 3: power to host and reveal all of God. It will
- 6:25Speaker 3: take the collective effort of everybody, those who are supposedly
- 6:30Speaker 3: privileged by grace, and those who are don't missile within
- 6:33Speaker 3: that territory to host and preserve the purposes of God. Allelujah.
- 6:40Speaker 3: So once again, salutations and honor to every man of God,
- 6:45Speaker 3: every woman of God, whether you are a pastor or
- 6:48Speaker 3: a church prayer group, whatever it is, altogether, provided you
- 6:54Speaker 3: name the name of Jesus and you are sincere with
- 6:57Speaker 3: your spiritual pursuit, then we salute your contribution to the
- 7:02Speaker 3: build up of what God is doing in this city.
- 7:04Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus Christ. I'll be charging our
- 7:08Speaker 3: hearts very briefly this morning. I wanted to continue my
- 7:12Speaker 3: teaching yesterday, but I thought to suspend it until the
- 7:15Speaker 3: night session so that we can flow together. What I'm
- 7:18Speaker 3: teaching tonight. I think it's all too important, so I
- 7:22Speaker 3: would just talk about something else this morning. But let
- 7:26Speaker 3: me charge us to please do well. I'm sure that
- 7:32Speaker 3: there should be a way of connecting through television and
- 7:37Speaker 3: then by way of internet. May I request that you
- 7:41Speaker 3: go back and listen to the teaching that you heard
- 7:44Speaker 3: yesterday again, and in fact, all of the teachings that
- 7:48Speaker 3: would have come from this conference. Pay attention. It would
- 7:53Speaker 3: be a lie for you to believe you got everything
- 7:55Speaker 3: whilst you sat down Allelujah. Both spiritually and side ecologically.
- 8:00Speaker 3: You would need to give dedicated attention to really receive
- 8:04Speaker 3: and understand all that was taught. Praise the Name of
- 8:08Speaker 3: the Lord, Acts Chapter thirteen.
- 8:17Speaker 5: For the way of the Lord, it's the way halfways.
- 8:25Speaker 5: Now I choose a way of the load. For the
- 8:33Speaker 5: way after the load, he's the way half way.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I choose the way.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Verse thirty six, Acts Chapter thirteen and verse thirty six
- 8:56Speaker 3: for David after he had his own generation, by the
- 9:03Speaker 3: will of God, fell on sleep and was laid onto
- 9:10Speaker 3: his father's and his son corruption. The part of emphasis
- 9:16Speaker 3: is David after he had served his own generation. I'm
- 9:33Speaker 3: trying to pull up the amplified rendition. Yes, what it
- 9:35Speaker 3: says for David after he had served the purpose of
- 9:41Speaker 3: God in his own generation, after he had served the
- 9:48Speaker 3: purpose of God in his own generation, felt asleep. So
- 9:54Speaker 3: it is not enough to serve the purpose of God.
- 9:58Speaker 4: You have to find out.
- 9:59Speaker 3: The purposes of God that is allocated for your generation.
- 10:05Speaker 3: And this scripture very clearly the Bible tells us that
- 10:08Speaker 3: the move and the program of God is generational and dispensational.
- 10:14Speaker 3: God is not doing the same thing every time. He
- 10:17Speaker 3: has emphasis per season, part dispensation, and part generation. And
- 10:24Speaker 3: it's possible you may have heard me teach that in
- 10:28Speaker 3: administering the anointing or the power of God, there are
- 10:31Speaker 3: many factors that govern being anointed. One of it is
- 10:37Speaker 3: that you have to be grafted into Christ through the
- 10:40Speaker 3: new birth experience. And so the Bible says that the
- 10:43Speaker 3: anointing that you have within you, that it is able
- 10:46Speaker 3: to teach you all things. Allelujah, and then there is
- 10:50Speaker 3: the anointing that comes by reason of your call and assignment.
- 10:55Speaker 3: The anointing follows your office, not your personality, and if
- 11:00Speaker 3: your personality is damaged or damaging, the anointing will deceptfully
- 11:05Speaker 3: remain there. It is not an accurate measure of your
- 11:08Speaker 3: spiritual health. It's just a measure of your consistency as
- 11:13Speaker 3: far as remaining in your offices concerned. The danger with
- 11:17Speaker 3: that dimension of the anointing is that you can be
- 11:20Speaker 3: going down in your spiritual life, and yet that grace
- 11:23Speaker 3: remains because it was sent to your office, not to you.
- 11:28Speaker 3: So it is possible to be healing people of something
- 11:31Speaker 3: you are dying of. It is possible to be blessing
- 11:34Speaker 3: people of something that is destroying you, because the anointing
- 11:39Speaker 3: that second level follows your office. Allelujah. Physically speaking, when
- 11:47Speaker 3: certain offices are given to people, there are privileges that follow.
- 11:50Speaker 3: The offices are true security, maybe an official official house.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Whether you are good or bad, provided you still occupy
- 12:00Speaker 3: by that office, those privileges remain. But there are times
- 12:03Speaker 3: where the privilege of that that office is wouldrawn, and
- 12:07Speaker 3: all those things live immediately. You can imagine a man
- 12:12Speaker 3: like Elisha Elisha died of sickness, and yet that grace
- 12:18Speaker 3: and that mantle.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Upon his office remained.
- 12:20Speaker 3: And when they brought in a dead body without nobody
- 12:25Speaker 3: praying or placing a demand on the anointing, two dead bodies,
- 12:30Speaker 3: but one dead body raised another one.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Can you imagine that mystery.
- 12:34Speaker 3: It's not like a dead body that was alive and
- 12:37Speaker 3: then raised another one.
- 12:38Speaker 4: There were two dead bodies.
- 12:39Speaker 3: One was more dead than the fresh body, and the old,
- 12:43Speaker 3: decayed dead body raised the fresh one. That is how
- 12:48Speaker 3: powerful this anointing is. So an individual can be suffering
- 12:52Speaker 3: poverty and shame and yet have that grace, and with
- 12:56Speaker 3: one declaration you can open your heavens. And this is
- 12:59Speaker 3: why many people say, how come I am blessing people
- 13:02Speaker 3: of something I cannot enjoy? Because it's the grace that
- 13:06Speaker 3: comes on the office. There are two ways to receive
- 13:08Speaker 3: from that grace. You have to place a demand on
- 13:11Speaker 3: that grace yourself. That means if you're a preacher and
- 13:18Speaker 3: you are preaching, you have to listen to that message
- 13:21Speaker 3: that you preach and receive it as a member, not
- 13:24Speaker 3: as a preacher.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Even though it is you preaching.
- 13:32Speaker 3: It is a reason why many people will never get
- 13:34Speaker 3: blessed by the anointing upon their lives. Allelujah. And then
- 13:38Speaker 3: the second way is, you too must find other people
- 13:41Speaker 3: the same way people listen to you and place a
- 13:43Speaker 3: demand on your grace. You must look for an office
- 13:46Speaker 3: that attends to your need and submit yourself and tap
- 13:50Speaker 3: into it. Then the third kind of anointing will do
- 13:53Speaker 3: more of that in the evening is the anointing that
- 13:56Speaker 3: follows you by reason of your discern what God is
- 14:00Speaker 3: doing past season. This is not just a grace that
- 14:05Speaker 3: follows you by reason of being grafted into Christ. This
- 14:09Speaker 3: is not just a grace that follows you by reason
- 14:11Speaker 3: of discovering your call spiritually speaking. But this is a
- 14:16Speaker 3: grace that comes to honor you for understanding and aligning
- 14:21Speaker 3: to God's program past season. So it is possible to
- 14:25Speaker 3: have a believer who is not backsleading. It is possible
- 14:29Speaker 3: to have a believer who is functioning in his call
- 14:32Speaker 3: and yet not carry that end time anointing. The Bible says,
- 14:35Speaker 3: he that hath an ear. That means not everybody has
- 14:39Speaker 3: that kind of year. Let him hear what the spirit
- 14:41Speaker 3: saying to the churches. Hallelujah. So the Bible says that
- 14:47Speaker 3: David served the purposes of God in his own generation.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Let me give a charge very briefly this morning on
- 14:54Speaker 3: becoming a voice.
- 14:58Speaker 4: Becoming a voice. The scribes and the pharisees came to.
- 15:08Speaker 3: John, the prophet, who we call the Baptist, and they
- 15:12Speaker 3: began to inquire of him, who are you?
- 15:15Speaker 4: What kind of a strange man are you?
- 15:17Speaker 3: All the way from the wilderness and now you are
- 15:20Speaker 3: shouting and declaring repentance, and that people who make.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Straits the part of the Lord.
- 15:26Speaker 3: Who are you? Are you one of the prophets? Are
- 15:28Speaker 3: you one? Are you the Messiah? And they said no.
- 15:31Speaker 3: They said, who then are you? And he made a
- 15:34Speaker 3: very interesting statement. He said, I am the voice of
- 15:37Speaker 3: one who is crying in the wilderness. Repent he says,
- 15:41Speaker 3: and max straits the part of the Lord. It is
- 15:44Speaker 3: possible for an individual to become a voice, as far
- 15:49Speaker 3: as the purposes of God are concerned, within.
- 15:53Speaker 4: A generation.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Very interesting scripture says many are called, few are chosen.
- 16:01Speaker 3: For many years I did not understand that scripture. What
- 16:04Speaker 3: kind of a scripture is this? Why would you say
- 16:07Speaker 3: many are called and then few are chosen? Allelujah, Many
- 16:14Speaker 3: are called by divine destiny. God intends for many, and
- 16:19Speaker 3: if possible everyone, to become a voice. But the few
- 16:23Speaker 3: that are chosen are not just chosen by God's predeterminate counsel.
- 16:29Speaker 3: They are also chosen by the degree of their compliance
- 16:34Speaker 3: to the terms that make for an excelling life. Generationally,
- 16:39Speaker 3: there are many people who continue to admire voices in ministry,
- 16:44Speaker 3: especially in politics in business. They wonder why God seem
- 16:49Speaker 3: to have lifted certain people in such a marvelous way
- 16:52Speaker 3: and honor them, And for most of us, our conclusion becomes,
- 16:57Speaker 3: I think it's just an election of grace. I agree,
- 17:01Speaker 3: but that is not a complete answer, because you will
- 17:05Speaker 3: be learning from this session that God, it can be
- 17:09Speaker 3: in your prophetic blueprint to be a great man with
- 17:14Speaker 3: grace over nations and territories, and you may spend your
- 17:18Speaker 3: life not even taking one local government for Jesus allelujah.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Just because it is part of God's predeterminate counsel for you.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Does not mean it to come to pass.
- 17:30Speaker 3: The Bible says from the foundations of the Earth, for instance,
- 17:33Speaker 3: the Lamb was slain, but Jesus had to come away
- 17:37Speaker 3: together and submit to that prophecy and act it out.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Experientially.
- 17:42Speaker 3: In fact, he got to a point in the flesh
- 17:45Speaker 3: where he himself was almost giving up. He prayed him
- 17:48Speaker 3: get semony and said, Father, if it be thy, will
- 17:51Speaker 3: take this cup of me. That means Jesus himself would
- 17:54Speaker 3: have renegotiated it and would make that prophecy look like
- 17:57Speaker 3: God lied so because God said it will be a
- 18:01Speaker 3: mighty preacher.
- 18:02Speaker 4: You know, most people don't know what to do with prophecy.
- 18:05Speaker 3: You can have a correct prophetic world upon your life
- 18:08Speaker 3: and fail as if God did not see you. Prophecy
- 18:14Speaker 3: and divine speakings, whether it comes through a vessel of
- 18:17Speaker 3: God or from the truth of scripture, does not automatically
- 18:21Speaker 3: guarantee that it will work in your life. Is it
- 18:24Speaker 3: not written in your Bible that ye are gods, and
- 18:27Speaker 3: all of you are children of the most High? But
- 18:29Speaker 3: there are many people who are leading.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Fast shots of that.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Is it not in your Bible that no inhabitant in
- 18:36Speaker 3: Zion shall say I am sick? How many believers are
- 18:39Speaker 3: plagued with all kinds of ills and diseases. Is it
- 18:42Speaker 3: not in your Bible that the path of the justice
- 18:44Speaker 3: has a shining light that should shine ever brighter? How
- 18:48Speaker 3: many people have to remainizce and drag comfort from there yesterday,
- 18:52Speaker 3: because there tomorrow is always worse than there yesterday.
- 18:57Speaker 4: Is it not in your Bible that I was younger?
- 18:59Speaker 3: Now I am old? I have never seen the righteous forsaken.
- 19:02Speaker 3: No he seid beg for bread some of the biggest
- 19:05Speaker 3: beggars around our believers. Do you agree with me, it
- 19:12Speaker 3: says I am the children we read yesterday that the
- 19:14Speaker 3: Lord has given me. We are for signs and wonders
- 19:17Speaker 3: in Israel. But how many people and families are mad
- 19:20Speaker 3: with shame and pain and embarrassment That immediately should tell
- 19:25Speaker 3: you that just because God said it, hear me, please,
- 19:29Speaker 3: it does not mean it to happen in your life forever.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Oh Lord, your world is settled.
- 19:35Speaker 3: It tells you the location in heaven he didn't say
- 19:38Speaker 3: in your life. It takes you engaging the forces of obedience,
- 19:43Speaker 3: as I'll be sharing in the night, to make it
- 19:45Speaker 3: a reality in your life.
- 19:47Speaker 4: There are many people today who, when they.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Go to heaven there will be surprised what was the
- 19:54Speaker 3: blueprint of their prophetic destinies. Many preachers died as ambrobers.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Many individuals destined to take nations died as non entities,
- 20:05Speaker 3: because although it was in their prophetic blueprint, and.
- 20:09Speaker 4: For others, God had gone far.
- 20:11Speaker 3: To reveal it to them. Like some of you who
- 20:15Speaker 3: are seated here now, you will be surprised to see
- 20:17Speaker 3: what is in your prophetic blue screen blueprint, Jesus said,
- 20:22Speaker 3: and Paul also made reference to that statement. Lo I
- 20:26Speaker 3: come as it is written of me in the volume
- 20:30Speaker 3: of the Books. That means it is written concerning everybody
- 20:33Speaker 3: in the volume of the Books. God is not scratching
- 20:36Speaker 3: his head wondering what to do with your life now
- 20:38Speaker 3: that you are here. It's been decided before your arrival.
- 20:42Speaker 3: But whether you live up to eat or not depends
- 20:45Speaker 3: on you. So I want you to listen very cheerfully
- 20:48Speaker 3: as I charge your heart this morning, because I can
- 20:51Speaker 3: tell you can start from anywhere and go anywhere.
- 20:55Speaker 4: With God.
- 20:57Speaker 3: It told Abraham from where thou art, lift top your
- 21:01Speaker 3: eyes and see northward, southward, east word, westward. It says
- 21:07Speaker 3: that as far as your eyes can see to you,
- 21:10Speaker 3: I have given for an inheritance. If you're still with me,
- 21:13Speaker 3: say amen. Most times when people come to me, whether
- 21:19Speaker 3: for prayer or encouragement, especially ministers of the Gospel. The
- 21:23Speaker 3: only thing they are looking for is anointing. I guess
- 21:26Speaker 3: because they see some of the things that God graciously
- 21:29Speaker 3: does in and through my life. They are attempted to
- 21:32Speaker 3: believe that all it takes for a life of exploits
- 21:36Speaker 3: and to become a voice is an importation of the anointing.
- 21:41Speaker 3: And they are right.
- 21:42Speaker 4: There is a place for it, except that that is.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Not the protocol, that is not the way Jesus Christ
- 21:48Speaker 3: made mighty men in scripture. You want to become a voice,
- 21:51Speaker 3: and you want to become mighty, your first reference is
- 21:55Speaker 3: not a man of God. Your first reference is scripture.
- 21:58Speaker 3: For the Bible declares that the thing that are written
- 22:00Speaker 3: a full time, they are for our learning, so that we,
- 22:04Speaker 3: through patients and the comfort of scripture, we might find hope.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Jesus began his ministry.
- 22:12Speaker 3: By calling a certain kind of people. Most of them
- 22:16Speaker 3: were already people involved in business and fishing, like Peter
- 22:19Speaker 3: and his brothers, and then a few of them were
- 22:23Speaker 3: involved in government.
- 22:24Speaker 4: A few were involved in all kinds of things, but generally.
- 22:27Speaker 3: They were not people who were doing much at a
- 22:30Speaker 3: global or territorial level as far as the then.
- 22:33Speaker 4: World were concerned.
- 22:34Speaker 3: And then Jesus began to submit them through.
- 22:37Speaker 4: A series of processes.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Allelujah. After three and a half years he died, and
- 22:45Speaker 3: these people became very mighty men. And by the time
- 22:50Speaker 3: we read their accounts in the Book of Art, they said,
- 22:54Speaker 3: these are they that turned the world upside down, not
- 22:58Speaker 3: just Jerusalem, just you Dea. Indeed, they had honored that
- 23:03Speaker 3: great commission and turned the world upside down. So what
- 23:07Speaker 3: changed about the life of a fisherman, even though it
- 23:11Speaker 3: was not an ordinary profession those days.
- 23:14Speaker 4: But what suddenly happened.
- 23:16Speaker 3: To Peter that turned him from a fisherman to become
- 23:20Speaker 3: one who had a voice that even his impact is
- 23:23Speaker 3: still immortalized in our lives still today. I pray that
- 23:28Speaker 3: God who opened our eyes, My assignment this morning is
- 23:31Speaker 3: to get you angry with your current level and to
- 23:34Speaker 3: let you see that God and the nations.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Demand more from you.
- 23:38Speaker 3: The Bible says to whom much is given, we must
- 23:42Speaker 3: stop settling for a life of mediocreting and average, giving
- 23:46Speaker 3: excuses and hoping and believing and justifying ourselves by saying,
- 23:52Speaker 3: God just decided to raise honors and bless them, and
- 23:56Speaker 3: since we are not the privileged ones, let's just come
- 23:59Speaker 3: around this that is not an accurate thinking. Deuteronomy chapter
- 24:04Speaker 3: twenty eight. Please and verse one and two. Let's see
- 24:09Speaker 3: a powerful prophetic blessing that was given that relates to
- 24:14Speaker 3: every one of us. And it shall come to pass
- 24:17Speaker 3: if thou shall happen diligently onto the voice of the
- 24:20Speaker 3: Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his
- 24:23Speaker 3: commandments which I commanded this day. What is the blessing
- 24:28Speaker 3: that the Lord that God will set thee on high?
- 24:31Speaker 3: Is that in your bible are both all the nations
- 24:34Speaker 3: of the earth. How many nations all that verse to
- 24:42Speaker 3: all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee
- 24:46Speaker 3: if thou.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Shalt happen to the voice of the Lord.
- 24:50Speaker 3: So you see that you have to happen to his
- 24:53Speaker 3: voice to become a voice. If you cannot happen to
- 24:57Speaker 3: the voice of the Lord, the world will also know
- 25:00Speaker 3: happened to you. Jesus Christ happened to the voice of
- 25:03Speaker 3: the Father. And then the Father said, this is my
- 25:06Speaker 3: beloved son in whom I am well pleased. And in
- 25:09Speaker 3: one of the renditions he said, here ye him, the
- 25:13Speaker 3: world will not hear you.
- 25:14Speaker 4: When you don't hear God.
- 25:16Speaker 3: No hear ye Him is the blessing of those who
- 25:21Speaker 3: have a functional relationship with Jesus. Now, let me give
- 25:24Speaker 3: us three keys very quickly, and then will pray this morning.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Number one.
- 25:29Speaker 3: I'm not going to dwell so much there because I
- 25:32Speaker 3: touched that in my teaching yesterday. What is the first
- 25:35Speaker 3: requirement to being a voice? In fact, what does it
- 25:40Speaker 3: mean to be a voice? Please write? To be a
- 25:44Speaker 3: voice means that you have the privilege of influencing a
- 25:53Speaker 3: generation with your thoughts, your convictions, and your values.
- 26:02Speaker 4: To be a voice means.
- 26:07Speaker 3: That you are able to influence a generation with your thoughts,
- 26:13Speaker 3: your convictions, and your values.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Hallelujah. So becoming a voice is.
- 26:24Speaker 3: About exerting Kingdom influence within a generation for the purpose
- 26:32Speaker 3: of not only the Gospel, but the entire program of
- 26:35Speaker 3: the Kingdom. So if God is able to honor you
- 26:39Speaker 3: and you are able to influence your generation, it is
- 26:44Speaker 3: safe to call you a voice. There are many people
- 26:47Speaker 3: who are called voices. We use other expressions to show
- 26:52Speaker 3: the excellency of their influence, something like generals, something.
- 26:57Speaker 4: Like you know.
- 26:59Speaker 3: We use all kinds of cliches and expressions that try
- 27:03Speaker 3: to show the extent of their impact and their influence.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Becoming a voice talks about making.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Maximum kingdom impact, maximum Kingdom impact, allelujah. The first key
- 27:22Speaker 3: number one, you must know God. You cannot become a
- 27:28Speaker 3: voice in any generation, especially today's world, without a functional
- 27:36Speaker 3: knowledge of God. This we discussed yesterday. From Daniel, chapter
- 27:43Speaker 3: eleven and verse thirty two. The be pat it says,
- 27:46Speaker 3: but the people that do know their God, they shall
- 27:50Speaker 3: be strong number one capacity, and then number two they
- 27:55Speaker 3: shall do exploit, not just say exploit, not just preach exploits. Hallelujah.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Those who make impact and become voices in their generations,
- 28:16Speaker 3: and not just those who say alone, but they are
- 28:19Speaker 3: those who say and do you see the kingdom was not.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Designed to only hear realities.
- 28:26Speaker 3: We should also see when you read chapter eight from
- 28:30Speaker 3: verse five, the Bible says Philip went down to Samaria,
- 28:34Speaker 3: and there he preached Christ onto them, and then verse
- 28:37Speaker 3: six says that the people with one accord gave heed
- 28:41Speaker 3: to those things which Philips pay.
- 28:43Speaker 4: Please finish that scripture for me. Hearing and seeing. That
- 28:49Speaker 4: is the true character of kingdom impact.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Hearing and seeing. So you tell us God is good
- 28:56Speaker 3: and show us God is good. You tell us God,
- 29:00Speaker 3: and show us God heals. You tell us God liveds,
- 29:04Speaker 3: and you show us that God liveds hearing and seeing.
- 29:11Speaker 3: I think it's in Adds.
- 29:12Speaker 4: Chapter one when he began to speak.
- 29:16Speaker 3: And he said the former traitise, I have told you,
- 29:19Speaker 3: oh Theophlos, of all that Jesus began to do and
- 29:25Speaker 3: teach Jesus verse one. He did not just teach alone.
- 29:30Speaker 3: There were things that he did, and then he taught.
- 29:34Speaker 3: If the communication of the Gospel from you is only
- 29:37Speaker 3: teaching and there is no doing, it means that something
- 29:41Speaker 3: is wrong.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Are we together? Yes, When you.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Say Jesus is Lord, you must show that Jesus is Lord.
- 29:49Speaker 3: When you say Jesus lifts, there must be evidences showing forth.
- 29:54Speaker 4: That Jesus lifts. So Number one, you must know God.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Many believers have not taken in the time to invest
- 30:02Speaker 3: in the knowledge of God. John seventeen and verse three.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Jesus is praying, and here's what you had to say.
- 30:08Speaker 3: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee
- 30:14Speaker 3: the only true God, and Jesus, whom thou hast said, Allelujah.
- 30:22Speaker 4: It matters that we know God.
- 30:26Speaker 3: It matters that God does not just become a theoretical God,
- 30:31Speaker 3: but that we take the time to press please listen
- 30:34Speaker 3: to my message. Yesterday I taught extensively on having an
- 30:40Speaker 3: experience with God. That is a very important message, especially
- 30:44Speaker 3: for the times that we live in.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Whether it is Moses or Jacob.
- 30:51Speaker 3: The first thing that happened to really define their lives
- 30:55Speaker 3: was their encounter with the God of the Bible.
- 30:58Speaker 4: I wish we had time would.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Have explored Exodus chapter three, where the Bible says that
- 31:03Speaker 3: Moses had an encounter with the God of the Hebrews.
- 31:06Speaker 3: Until then he had remembered he had come from He
- 31:11Speaker 3: was raised in Egypt by Pharaoh's daughter, so he was taught.
- 31:16Speaker 4: The way of the Egyptians.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Now he was at the back side of the mountain,
- 31:19Speaker 3: and the Bible says he saw a push that was
- 31:22Speaker 3: burning and would not becomesume. And he said, I will
- 31:25Speaker 3: turn aside and see this great sight. And when God
- 31:28Speaker 3: saw that he turned aside. He said, Moses, now take
- 31:31Speaker 3: off your shoes, for where thou stands is holy ground.
- 31:35Speaker 3: God now began to communicate his burden onto Moses. I
- 31:38Speaker 3: have seen the affliction of my people and their cry
- 31:40Speaker 3: by the reason of their taskmasters. He said, and I
- 31:43Speaker 3: am calmed down to deliver them. Now. He told Moses
- 31:47Speaker 3: that he was mandating him to become a representation of
- 31:52Speaker 3: the deliverance power of God to Egypt. And Moses answered
- 31:57Speaker 3: a very interesting question, when I go and stand before Pharaoh,
- 32:01Speaker 3: who do I tell Pharaoh?
- 32:02Speaker 4: Send me? I know Pharaoh?
- 32:05Speaker 3: He would not listen to nonsense, and he said, I
- 32:07Speaker 3: am that I am. God began to reveal himself to him,
- 32:11Speaker 3: and at the end of it, Moses had the confidence
- 32:15Speaker 3: and he went and stood before Pharaoh and said, thus said.
- 32:18Speaker 4: The Lord God of the Hebrews, let my people go.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Pharaoh laughed at him, to scorn and to cut the
- 32:25Speaker 3: long story shorts. After ten plagues, Pharaoh had to give
- 32:28Speaker 3: up because Moses did not just say, he also did, Allelujah,
- 32:35Speaker 3: you must know God.
- 32:37Speaker 4: Listen.
- 32:38Speaker 3: The end time ministry would demand the proper functional knowledge
- 32:46Speaker 3: of God, because we are going to be standing against
- 32:50Speaker 3: things and people and systems and structures that are vocally
- 32:55Speaker 3: Antichrist away together. Never in the history, in modern and history,
- 33:02Speaker 3: have we seen this level of structural defiance. It's like
- 33:09Speaker 3: a rebuilding of the Tower of babel Agade. This time
- 33:13Speaker 3: around is not just individuals but the devil is building
- 33:17Speaker 3: systems and structures. Most of us do not know what
- 33:21Speaker 3: we're coming up against. We're not just coming up against men.
- 33:25Speaker 3: If you are coming up against a man, when the
- 33:27Speaker 3: man dies, you are free. But when you find a structure,
- 33:31Speaker 3: even when the people behind the structural leave, the structure
- 33:34Speaker 3: itself has its own life. Are we together? I'll give
- 33:39Speaker 3: you an instance the social media. Never in any church
- 33:44Speaker 3: age do we have a template a platform that has
- 33:50Speaker 3: more power than even people and governments. Are we together
- 33:54Speaker 3: that the social media has the power to dethrone even
- 33:57Speaker 3: a sitting president. Is how powerful it is. Even if
- 34:02Speaker 3: Zukerbag say, for instance, transits today the power of the
- 34:05Speaker 3: social media and the platform he has created. That means
- 34:09Speaker 3: if the social media says Jesus is not Lord, that
- 34:12Speaker 3: is a that is a bad to that would take
- 34:15Speaker 3: only God to fight.
- 34:17Speaker 4: And it is saying it everywhere.
- 34:19Speaker 3: And our children are embracing that philosophy and building their
- 34:24Speaker 3: destinies on the fact that Jesus is just one of
- 34:26Speaker 3: the many options we need to know God. We cannot
- 34:31Speaker 3: present a God that we are still confused about the
- 34:35Speaker 3: level of accuracy that the world needs, the level of
- 34:38Speaker 3: evidence that the world needs to bow to the lordship
- 34:42Speaker 3: of Christ is greater than the evidences they would have
- 34:44Speaker 3: needed thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, if you came
- 34:48Speaker 3: with a message and said Jesus is Lord, even if
- 34:50Speaker 3: people did not believe him, they would believe you and
- 34:54Speaker 3: submit to you in total loyalty. But today you say
- 34:58Speaker 3: Jesus is Lord, your child will prove it and say
- 35:01Speaker 3: can he do? Your child will ask you to prove it?
- 35:03Speaker 3: Can he do for me what my app would do
- 35:05Speaker 3: for me? My app wakes me when I sleep. I
- 35:08Speaker 3: don't need the Holy Spirit. When we started with God,
- 35:12Speaker 3: there were many privileges we did not have, so it
- 35:15Speaker 3: was easy to depend on the Holy Spirit. Now technology
- 35:18Speaker 3: can safely replace a major part of his ministry. Why
- 35:21Speaker 3: do you tell me to sob me to the Holy Spirit?
- 35:24Speaker 3: Because he can wake you? What do I need that for?
- 35:28Speaker 4: When I can program my entire.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Life in an app, the app can know me even
- 35:34Speaker 3: more than myself. The app can tell me when I'm tired.
- 35:39Speaker 3: The app can tell me when I need to sleep.
- 35:41Speaker 3: The app can tell me when to go to my doctorm.
- 35:47Speaker 3: We need to have a better presentation if we want
- 35:49Speaker 3: our generation to sub me to Jesus just telling them repent.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Jesus is Lord that will clap for you and walk away.
- 35:57Speaker 3: Someone say, I must know God. It is very important
- 36:02Speaker 3: that we truly know and understand God. In Jeremiah chapter nine,
- 36:08Speaker 3: when you read from verse twenty three to twenty four,
- 36:10Speaker 3: it says, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom.
- 36:14Speaker 3: The Bible says, neither the mighty man glory in his mind.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Let not the rich man glory in his riches. Twenty
- 36:21Speaker 3: four says, but let him the gloria glory in this
- 36:24Speaker 3: that he understanded and knowed me. The pride of the
- 36:28Speaker 3: believer is not just in the acquisition of things or
- 36:32Speaker 3: mundane achievements, as important as they may look. The real
- 36:37Speaker 3: pride of the believer is in the knowledge of God.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Say amen, number two, what else does.
- 36:46Speaker 3: It take to become a voice to be mighty and
- 36:50Speaker 3: marvelously used by God to influence your generation with his
- 36:55Speaker 3: purposes and ideas. Number two, you must.
- 36:59Speaker 4: Be transferred old.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Now I want to dwell for a few minutes. Yet,
- 37:03Speaker 3: because this is where many well intentioned believers, preachers, business people,
- 37:10Speaker 3: captains of industry, especially from our regions, we have now
- 37:15Speaker 3: played the place of transformation, sustaining superior belief systems allelujah,
- 37:24Speaker 3: very very important. The average preacher does not have a
- 37:30Speaker 3: global view. The average preacher does not see things from
- 37:34Speaker 3: a global scope. The average preacher preacher's approach to ministry,
- 37:41Speaker 3: for instance, is not global in scope. Our approach should
- 37:47Speaker 3: be local, but our view has to be global because
- 37:51Speaker 3: the whole world is interconnected. Somebody from Australia can influence
- 37:55Speaker 3: your salmon in your local church and influence the focus
- 37:59Speaker 3: and the participation of your membership without being there. Someone
- 38:03Speaker 3: can sell an idea that is Antichrist and you will
- 38:06Speaker 3: never see the person. So we must be able to
- 38:09Speaker 3: sustaint and a worldview. The average preacher does not even
- 38:15Speaker 3: know the ideas that are fighting.
- 38:17Speaker 4: The gospel today.
- 38:20Speaker 3: We have not taken the time to expand our understanding
- 38:23Speaker 3: away together and then many people. I permit my bias.
- 38:28Speaker 3: I'm talking to everybody, but please permit my bias. For preachers,
- 38:31Speaker 3: we have not been able to sustain a superior orientation
- 38:35Speaker 3: that gives us capacity to present Jesus in a way
- 38:39Speaker 3: that all ansoundry can receive him. There is a best
- 38:43Speaker 3: sperate need for transformation. There is a way you present
- 38:47Speaker 3: Jesus that even those close to you will reject him.
- 38:51Speaker 3: There is a skill to presenting Jesus. It's not just truthfulness.
- 38:56Speaker 3: You need more than truthfulness. Your gospel can be true,
- 39:00Speaker 3: but your approach can make it look like a lie.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Let me repeat myself again. Your gospel and your message
- 39:07Speaker 3: can be true, but your approach. Let me show you
- 39:12Speaker 3: something the Bible says, do we have that's Marc. Chapter sixteen.
- 39:17Speaker 3: I believe in verse fifteen, please give it to us.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Let's examine for one minute as a case study. Marc.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Sixteen fifteen. This is what we know to be the
- 39:29Speaker 3: great commission. I like you to pay very close attention.
- 39:32Speaker 3: Please look at it. Jesus is speaking here, and he
- 39:35Speaker 3: said onto them, going into all the world and preach
- 39:38Speaker 3: the Gospel to every creature.
- 39:40Speaker 4: Look very carefully.
- 39:41Speaker 3: There are certain details that are captured in this singular verse.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Number one, he tells you what to do, go ye,
- 39:49Speaker 3: So it is an action word. You should not be passive.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Go Ye means be courageous. Go Ye means be strategic.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Go Ye means be intentional. Number two, he tells you
- 40:03Speaker 3: where to go to into all the world. Notice he
- 40:08Speaker 3: never said go around the world. Into all the world.
- 40:12Speaker 3: So it means that your gospel must be more than
- 40:15Speaker 3: moving from house to house. He says, into the world,
- 40:19Speaker 3: enter the system, penetrate systems and structures. That there must
- 40:23Speaker 3: be an advocacy for Christ across every strata of human activities.
- 40:29Speaker 3: And then he tells you what to do preach. To
- 40:32Speaker 3: preach means to declare, to proclaim. To preach means to
- 40:36Speaker 3: preserve as true. And he tells you your audience, every creature.
- 40:42Speaker 3: So let's do a quick recab. He tells you what
- 40:45Speaker 3: to do, Go and preach. He tells you where to go,
- 40:50Speaker 3: all over the earth and into the systems.
- 40:54Speaker 4: He tells you your audience, the creation.
- 40:59Speaker 3: But the only thing miss sure is he does not
- 41:02Speaker 3: tell you how to do it. The how was left
- 41:06Speaker 3: flexible because he knew the times would change. The message
- 41:10Speaker 3: remains the same, the audience remains the same, the command
- 41:14Speaker 3: remains the same. But the strategy and the approach must
- 41:18Speaker 3: be flexible and must be predefined per generation.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Part dispensation someone learning.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Now, yea, the message should never change, the audience should
- 41:33Speaker 3: never change.
- 41:34Speaker 4: Your approach, I.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Mean your that command and that mandate should never change.
- 41:42Speaker 3: But the strategy that you deploy. Even Satan has metamorphosed
- 41:49Speaker 3: into several things.
- 41:50Speaker 4: The way Satan walked hundred years ago is not the
- 41:53Speaker 4: same way he works now.
- 41:55Speaker 3: He has taken advantage of the fluidity of time and
- 41:59Speaker 3: his evolved himself. The strategy is still the same.
- 42:02Speaker 4: To still, to kill and to destroy.
- 42:09Speaker 3: We must sustain superior belief systems. Transformation in the Kingdom
- 42:17Speaker 3: is a product of two things.
- 42:18Speaker 4: Number one is a product of exposure. Exposure.
- 42:24Speaker 3: Exposure is very very very important, not negative exposure. You
- 42:29Speaker 3: can be exposed negatively. The principal tool for the believer's
- 42:36Speaker 3: exposure is not troubled around the world. That can give
- 42:39Speaker 3: you a secular exposure, and that is important. But the
- 42:42Speaker 3: principal tool for the believer's exposure and orientation.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Is the scripture Are We Together? Romans?
- 42:50Speaker 3: Chapter twelve, from verse one and two says I besiege
- 42:53Speaker 3: the brethren by the messes of God, that you offer
- 42:57Speaker 3: your bodies onto God a living sacrifice, and he calls
- 43:01Speaker 3: it wholly unacceptable, which is your reasonable service.
- 43:04Speaker 4: But two says, do not be conformed to this world?
- 43:09Speaker 3: Is the word aon the thinking pattern that comes with
- 43:12Speaker 3: this age. It says, but be ye transformed, how by
- 43:17Speaker 3: the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what
- 43:20Speaker 3: is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Philippians,
- 43:24Speaker 3: chapter two and verse five says, let this mind be
- 43:27Speaker 3: in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. That means
- 43:31Speaker 3: Jesus did not just defeat seeing Satan, hell and the
- 43:35Speaker 3: grave just because he was the son of God. There
- 43:38Speaker 3: was an orientation that he sustained.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Let this mind be in you. Can I tell you this.
- 43:47Speaker 3: We are born to look like our environments genetically speaking
- 43:52Speaker 3: and environmentally speaking. But we must trust God that through
- 43:57Speaker 3: the ministry of the world and the ministry of superior mentorship,
- 44:01Speaker 3: we must evolve to give ourselves a new orientation about life.
- 44:06Speaker 3: There are preachers that God can never give global visibility
- 44:09Speaker 3: to the truth is that there will be an embarrassment
- 44:12Speaker 3: to the kingdom, not because of wrong things like immorality
- 44:15Speaker 3: and the rest. They do not sustain the requisite level
- 44:18Speaker 3: of orientation to present Jesus globally if someone learning this morning, so,
- 44:26Speaker 3: in addition to our knowledge for God, our consecration and
- 44:31Speaker 3: press into spiritual things for God's sake, we have to
- 44:34Speaker 3: trust God for grace to give us the ability to
- 44:39Speaker 3: sustain superior orientation.
- 44:41Speaker 4: A transformed mind.
- 44:44Speaker 3: How do you know you are transformed? When it becomes
- 44:47Speaker 3: difficult to connect you to any ethnic territory, I shouldn't
- 44:52Speaker 3: just look at you and say you are behaving like
- 44:54Speaker 3: a Northern and go Something about your orientation is traying you.
- 45:00Speaker 3: I'm not talking about refusing your people or denying them.
- 45:03Speaker 3: Don't misunderstand me. Are we together? I should see you
- 45:07Speaker 3: and not even know?
- 45:08Speaker 4: Are you evil? Are you houser? Are you a robat?
- 45:12Speaker 3: Because of the excellency of your transformation, you have defeated
- 45:16Speaker 3: the limitation that comes with your territory. There are many
- 45:25Speaker 3: people who still carry the badge of the limitation of
- 45:28Speaker 3: their territories because of impending loyalty to values that are antichrist.
- 45:34Speaker 3: We hold on to it like a like an inheritance,
- 45:38Speaker 3: something we're unwilling to let go. Now you must be transformed. Allelujah.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Is God speaking to us? Man of God? You must
- 45:49Speaker 3: be transformed as a preacher. When you are dealing with
- 45:55Speaker 3: your local assembly, you deal with them with the heart
- 45:57Speaker 3: of a shepherd. But when God gives you an opportunity
- 46:00Speaker 3: to talk to a global audience, your examples, your context,
- 46:04Speaker 3: your intelligence, your approach must be searched that someone from Finland,
- 46:09Speaker 3: someone from America, someone from UK, someone from not everybody
- 46:14Speaker 3: is suffering what you are suffering, so they will not
- 46:16Speaker 3: even understand what you are saying. You can't generalize your
- 46:19Speaker 3: pain and speak a language.
- 46:21Speaker 4: That only you can understand.
- 46:24Speaker 3: This is where the intelligence of Jesus comes. Do you
- 46:27Speaker 3: know Jesus used in his examples examples.
- 46:30Speaker 4: That will last through time.
- 46:32Speaker 3: He used agriculture because in any generation, no matter that civilization,
- 46:38Speaker 3: the terms of agriculture will not fade out. You would
- 46:41Speaker 3: notice that in his approach he was very long term
- 46:44Speaker 3: in his thinking. He satisfied the context of his generation,
- 46:48Speaker 3: but then he also looked through time, so if you
- 46:51Speaker 3: see a seed on the.
- 46:53Speaker 4: Ground, is still relevant today.
- 46:56Speaker 3: There were a few expressions that have brought confusion to
- 46:59Speaker 3: the body of Christ today. For instance, what the Bible
- 47:02Speaker 3: says the eye of the needle because it was used contextually.
- 47:06Speaker 3: He was not talking about a needle that you used
- 47:08Speaker 3: to sew close. But because you are reading it now
- 47:12Speaker 3: with the mindset of another generation, there are many scriptures
- 47:15Speaker 3: that don't make sense. So if you want to present
- 47:19Speaker 3: Jesus in a way that a generation receives him, you
- 47:22Speaker 3: must be able to give yourself orientation and let me
- 47:24Speaker 3: tell you something. Your transformation will also demand changing your
- 47:29Speaker 3: approach and your outlook to life. Transformation is a product
- 47:37Speaker 3: of many things. Education is also valuable as God grants
- 47:42Speaker 3: grace because for many of us our limitation in orientation,
- 47:46Speaker 3: he's stopping us from presenting Jesus to a global audience.
- 47:54Speaker 4: Be transformed.
- 47:55Speaker 3: You want to become a voice, you must be transformed
- 48:02Speaker 3: by the privilege of God's grace. There's no region in
- 48:04Speaker 3: this nation I've not gone to, and God has granted
- 48:07Speaker 3: us the privilege to take the gospel and the truth
- 48:11Speaker 3: of this Kingdom across many regions, even outside of this nation.
- 48:16Speaker 3: And I can tell you transformation demands flexibility to other
- 48:21Speaker 3: people's culture without compromise. Away Together, Yes, because I've been
- 48:27Speaker 3: to places where they have treated me in certain funny
- 48:30Speaker 3: ways that ordinarily I would not be open to embrace.
- 48:33Speaker 3: But that is the that is their cultural definition of honor.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Away Together.
- 48:39Speaker 3: I have been to places where people who are far
- 48:43Speaker 3: older than me, old enough to be my grandfather, come
- 48:46Speaker 3: and line up and waiting for me to arrive. Ordinarily
- 48:49Speaker 3: I would not do that.
- 48:50Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to burden Why do you burden an old.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Man, for instance, or old men for hours to come
- 48:56Speaker 3: and receive me. But that is this simple of honor,
- 49:01Speaker 3: according to that system. Away Together. I came here yesterday
- 49:06Speaker 3: and Bishop's lovely daughters they were there to.
- 49:10Speaker 4: Receive me and gave me that, you know, and I won.
- 49:14Speaker 3: And she recited something so beautifully I wanted her to finish.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Let me just hog and say, what kind of a
- 49:19Speaker 3: brilliant girl is this? Now, I can't push them and
- 49:22Speaker 3: say I came to preach the gospel.
- 49:23Speaker 4: Get out of the way, Please give me the mic.
- 49:25Speaker 3: There are times that you have to be temperate in
- 49:27Speaker 3: all things, provide that it does not lead to the
- 49:31Speaker 3: compromise of your faith and the compromise of the message.
- 49:34Speaker 4: You must have flexibility.
- 49:37Speaker 3: Believing that the whole world will be like you, think
- 49:39Speaker 3: like you, and act only based on the limited scope
- 49:42Speaker 3: of your culture will limit the advancement of the Gospel.
- 49:48Speaker 4: Away Together.
- 49:49Speaker 3: Yeah, there are certain disciplines that I enforced as a person,
- 49:57Speaker 3: and there are certain disciplines that I enforced with in
- 50:00Speaker 3: the context of the work God has given me. But
- 50:03Speaker 3: I've had the privilege of traveling to regions where I
- 50:06Speaker 3: see people their physical outlook. Their approach may not be
- 50:11Speaker 3: an outlook that I ordinarily will endorse, but you will
- 50:14Speaker 3: have to subscribe to that flexibility as touching the culture
- 50:18Speaker 3: you are dealing with.
- 50:20Speaker 4: Are we together? I will not holdheartedly endorse that I
- 50:25Speaker 4: have gone.
- 50:25Speaker 3: For instance, for clarification, I've gone to places where I
- 50:30Speaker 3: see people, both men and women. They wear earrings, they
- 50:35Speaker 3: do a lot of things. Ordinarily you will not come
- 50:37Speaker 3: and wear an hearing and see close to me. What
- 50:38Speaker 3: are you doing? I know enough whether you're a male
- 50:41Speaker 3: or female, and I will tell you right there and
- 50:43Speaker 3: then who you are in case you don't know, away together,
- 50:47Speaker 3: But then you have gone to regions I can't say
- 50:49Speaker 3: I will not preach simply because I'm supporting some guy
- 50:53Speaker 3: wearing a short trouser as if he's going to this
- 50:55Speaker 3: and you know there are things personally they may compromise
- 50:59Speaker 3: on your personal values, but then you must sustain the
- 51:02Speaker 3: flexibility to still have that sense of accommodation. No one
- 51:07Speaker 3: that Jesus stood at the well with a woman. Do
- 51:10Speaker 3: you know that was a risk even to his ministry?
- 51:12Speaker 3: What if he was caught and put on Facebook?
- 51:15Speaker 4: What are you doing this? Non woman?
- 51:21Speaker 3: Now? I'm not endorsing licentiousness. Please don't let's not confuse
- 51:26Speaker 3: what we're dealing with here. But we're saying there is
- 51:29Speaker 3: a level of rigidity that has to be taken out
- 51:33Speaker 3: otherwise anytime ministry will not be effective. Do you know
- 51:40Speaker 3: what it means to be a sheep among wolves? Every
- 51:45Speaker 3: time a wolf sees a ship, they don't discuss it,
- 51:47Speaker 3: will eat it.
- 51:48Speaker 4: That means there has to be a formation.
- 51:51Speaker 3: That ship has to be able to present itself in
- 51:55Speaker 3: a way for its own safety first before or impact. Allelujah.
- 52:05Speaker 3: There are many believers, for instance, who have gone to
- 52:08Speaker 3: certain places of work, they have had the honor to
- 52:10Speaker 3: sit in certain offices, and in a bit to honor
- 52:14Speaker 3: their Christian creed, they did not employ diplomacy and they
- 52:18Speaker 3: took certain actions politically that they're still paying for it today,
- 52:21Speaker 3: all in the name of Jesus, because they did not
- 52:24Speaker 3: sustend the orientation to know that dealing with systems you
- 52:27Speaker 3: need to it requires flexibility. If I give you a
- 52:35Speaker 3: job and I find you praying in terms from ten
- 52:39Speaker 3: to eleven and you are not there to do the
- 52:43Speaker 3: sales or whatever it is, I will send you away
- 52:45Speaker 3: from my company, even though I'm a preacher. Now, I
- 52:48Speaker 3: love you, I do not hate your spiritual life. But
- 52:51Speaker 3: you must be able to create a system. It's someone
- 52:54Speaker 3: learning place. Am I wasting your time? This is very important.
- 53:01Speaker 4: There are some battles that we cannot fight and win.
- 53:04Speaker 3: We have to create a system of.
- 53:06Speaker 4: Flexibility and adjustment.
- 53:08Speaker 3: And this is why I honor your bishops sincerely for
- 53:11Speaker 3: his flexibility. There are certain things that cannot happen until
- 53:16Speaker 3: we are flexible. Even in and with our approach, there
- 53:22Speaker 3: are people, for instance, every time they hear that name apostle,
- 53:25Speaker 3: they just think they are profit. They just think these
- 53:27Speaker 3: are just a bandwagon of on serious people who are
- 53:31Speaker 3: not You know, these people who are not serious, maybe
- 53:33Speaker 3: some chorge reef raff jumping from place to place and
- 53:36Speaker 3: already maybe in time past or maybe because of a
- 53:40Speaker 3: personal experience you've had that. But you cannot just generalize
- 53:43Speaker 3: and say everybody who prophecies is fake. Everybody who knows
- 53:47Speaker 3: miracles is fake. Everybody who preaches like me now is fake.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Me that my grandfather was a founder of ministry, somebody
- 53:55Speaker 3: who later got born again from an adult worshiper who
- 53:58Speaker 3: was closer to min Just an example, are we together
- 54:04Speaker 3: do you know, most times when I begin to walk,
- 54:07Speaker 3: you know the minister by the spirit, and as I'm
- 54:09Speaker 3: ministering to people, sometimes I see the shock on people's faces.
- 54:12Speaker 3: I have to pose and say, hey, let me tell you,
- 54:14Speaker 3: I do not make a mistake of a loving the devil.
- 54:17Speaker 3: Tempt you to think I went to collect power from somewhere.
- 54:21Speaker 3: Don't insult the price that we have played with God.
- 54:24Speaker 3: Thinking everybody went to go and collect It's not everybody.
- 54:27Speaker 3: Devil gives power to You can go and beg him.
- 54:29Speaker 3: He will still refuse. Say it's not everybody. We must
- 54:41Speaker 3: embrace transformation in the name of Jesus Christ. I've gone
- 54:46Speaker 3: to places, for instance, respectfully speaking, preaching in churches where
- 54:51Speaker 3: there's high level energy that can jump from killer to post.
- 54:55Speaker 3: The youth can come and do their dance, and I
- 54:57Speaker 3: can sit there impatiently but gratefully, Josh, wait for my
- 55:00Speaker 3: tone to preach. I can't stand up and say, listen,
- 55:03Speaker 3: I was not brought up this way, sing that human.
- 55:06Speaker 4: Get straight to the point and let me preach.
- 55:09Speaker 3: Level of flexibility that will not it does not necessarily
- 55:13Speaker 3: equal to compromise.
- 55:15Speaker 4: Can I tell you some kinds.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Of rigidity that we're bringing is the reason why certain
- 55:21Speaker 3: youths are running away right now from church. Now, and youth,
- 55:26Speaker 3: let me balance it too. If you don't behave yourself
- 55:28Speaker 3: well too. We need to balance it so that it
- 55:31Speaker 3: does not become an endorsement for licentiousness. Because there are
- 55:36Speaker 3: many youths who are not looking for Jesus. They are
- 55:38Speaker 3: just looking for liberty. We're talking about youth who are
- 55:41Speaker 3: looking for Jesus. There are many people who want all
- 55:46Speaker 3: the laws, everything that holds.
- 55:48Speaker 4: The tenants of responsibility and morality. They want it removed.
- 55:52Speaker 3: So that if they can come to churche naked, they
- 55:54Speaker 3: can come and go back and say it's my life. No,
- 55:57Speaker 3: we're talking about youth would genuinely nied you. Is that
- 56:04Speaker 3: a good balance, because when you say preacher like this,
- 56:09Speaker 3: usually they are lost. Now relates to that statement, and
- 56:13Speaker 3: they say, this is what we've been trying to say. No, no, no,
- 56:19Speaker 3: while speaking within the context of serious and discipline. People
- 56:23Speaker 3: who are really ready to seek the things of the kingdom.
- 56:26Speaker 3: Let me hurry up, so we pray. My time is
- 56:28Speaker 3: almost up. So number one, you must know God. Number two,
- 56:33Speaker 3: you must be transformed. Let me advise you. Please look on.
- 56:40Speaker 3: I want you to buy.
- 56:41Speaker 4: Books, not just books.
- 56:44Speaker 3: That talk about scriptures and the rest alone, but you
- 56:50Speaker 3: need to buy books that help to stimulate your creativity
- 56:54Speaker 3: and help to understand how your mind works. Honestly speaking,
- 56:59Speaker 3: if we do not sustain certain levels of transformation, we
- 57:02Speaker 3: will not go far. It will be difficult for God
- 57:05Speaker 3: to use us. You know. In the parable in Second
- 57:08Speaker 3: Kings Now, I believe chapter four you may just write
- 57:12Speaker 3: it for reference. The Bible talks about a woman, one
- 57:17Speaker 3: of the wives of the sons of the prophet. Is
- 57:19Speaker 3: that true? She was in debt. I hope I'm right
- 57:21Speaker 3: on the ear. So the Bible says that when she
- 57:25Speaker 3: went to the prophet and said, they're about to take
- 57:28Speaker 3: my children, he answered.
- 57:29Speaker 4: Question He said, what do you have in your house?
- 57:31Speaker 3: And she said nothing, acceptedly to cruise of oil. The
- 57:35Speaker 3: point I'm trying to share is that oil had the
- 57:38Speaker 3: power to multiply for her to pay her debt and
- 57:42Speaker 3: live off the rest.
- 57:43Speaker 4: But the container that was carrying the oil was what.
- 57:46Speaker 3: Made the oil look small. And the prophet said, I
- 57:49Speaker 3: know what your problem is. You have a great anointing.
- 57:52Speaker 3: What your mindset is small, Go and expand your mindset.
- 57:58Speaker 4: The problem is not the oil.
- 57:59Speaker 3: The oil will always assume the shape of the vessel.
- 58:03Speaker 4: Watch this.
- 58:04Speaker 3: Many of our fathers who did not have the privilege
- 58:07Speaker 3: to either go to school or have some kind of
- 58:10Speaker 3: superior orientation.
- 58:12Speaker 4: You know that most of those people were anointed.
- 58:14Speaker 3: Many of them have gone to be with the Lord,
- 58:16Speaker 3: but because their mindsets were not superior, they did not
- 58:19Speaker 3: maximize the potential of that anointing. Now that same anointing
- 58:23Speaker 3: can come upon someone else who has a larger accommodation
- 58:27Speaker 3: and orientation, and you now see all the potentials in
- 58:30Speaker 3: that anointing. It was always there, but the mindset limited it.
- 58:36Speaker 3: Only God knows the potentials that the graces we carry
- 58:41Speaker 3: can produce as far as the advancement of the kingdom
- 58:45Speaker 3: is concerned. But our limitations, our limitations, our mindsets. Number three,
- 58:56Speaker 3: what does it take to become a voice, especially in
- 59:00Speaker 3: today's world?
- 59:01Speaker 4: Am I wasting your time? The third requirement.
- 59:04Speaker 3: Is you must be extremely valuable, extremely valuable.
- 59:12Speaker 4: Please write it down.
- 59:14Speaker 3: Very simple charge, but it is very important. You must
- 59:18Speaker 3: be extremely valuable. You must be extremely valuable. Probabs Chapter
- 59:36Speaker 3: eighteen and verse sixteen. Probabs eighteen sixteen. It says a
- 59:43Speaker 3: man's gift. Replace the gifts with the word value. A
- 59:47Speaker 3: man's value. Make it room for him. He starts in
- 59:50Speaker 3: your Bible and bring gets him before great men.
- 59:54Speaker 4: Can I tell you.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Know you are valuable to the degree to which men
- 59:59Speaker 3: are placing it demand on you. We have to be
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: very sincere here, not just for preachers, but for everyone.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: When you are not valuable, they will perceive you and
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: give you an impression that you are in non entity.
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: Nobody will pursue you for offering nothing.
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: We have to be very sincere.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: There are many people who magically believe that they will
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: gain loyalty without being valuable. A generation will not listen
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: to you until you truly have something to say or
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: something to offer, be it a preacher, be a businessman.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: From a secular standpoint, you travel to places like Europe
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: and Asia, and you will novel and wonder at what
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: those young children are doing. Teenagers bring in value solutions
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: that are needed and useful even within the context.
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: Of today's world.
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: It's impossible to ignore them, even if you don't believe them.
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: When you read MARC Chapter one, Let's read from verse
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: thirty five MARC Chapter one. From verse thirty five. This
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: is Jesus. Now he finished all his crusades and everything
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: he had to do, the Bible says, and in the morning,
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: rising up a great world before day, he went out
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: and departed into a solitary place, and their prayed thirty six.
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: And Simon and they that were with him did what
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: followed after him. There will always be followership for he
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: or she who is valuable Verse thirty seven. Let's read together, please,
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: if you can see projected ready want to read. And
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: when they had found him, they said onto him, all men,
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: how many men? Man of God?
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: This can be true in your life.
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: If you are valuable politician, this can be true in
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: your life. Business man, this can be true in your life.
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: All men seek.
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: For thee the covenant with God and with my destiny,
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: that as far as God's demand upon my life is concerned,
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: I will work myself, by the privilege of God's grace,
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: to be extremely valuable. That I will never stand on
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: any man's pulpit and talk nonsense and they just wave
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: you man, say please, let this be the last time
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: this man comes here, came and wasted our time. People
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: will not just come to listen to you until you
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: have what to say, for where the cacasis are, did
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: your Bible not say that.
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: There the eagles will gather?
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: Man of God? Be valuable, intellectually valuable, spiritually valuable, carry content,
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: carry grace, carry intelligence, deliver with excellence, and no by us,
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: no prejudice where that tribal, whether religious, will successfully be
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: able to trap you down. Covenant with yourself that you
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: will not stand before anyone on this earth and feel
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: intimidated and feel challenged, but that your value will brand
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: your impact so much. When you stand, you will only
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: honor people for their uniqueness, but not to the detriment
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: of your own value. There are many preachers who are
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: angry jealous today because they have refused to work on themselves.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: Please look up. Nigeria produces crude oil, but it does
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: not do us any good until we take it out,
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: refine it, and bring it. The one youq for is
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: not the one they bring out that dark past. The
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: one you q for is the one that is refined.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: Men will not come to an unrefined you. Men will
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: not come to a potential you. They come to you
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: who has done his assignment. Man of God. Don't go
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: around saying God called me. The fact that you have
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: to say. It is proved that something is not speaking.
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: Results speak when they are refined for someone.
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: Here is a charge. Go and sit down, my dear people,
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: worship ministers and the rest. Don't go around singing songs
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: that only you understand. Stay with God and let him
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: build you that if you stand and sing right from
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: here chalingo, someone will be singing your song in Australia
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: because the content, the power, the grace. Let me tell
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: you the truth. When you want to be valuable, you
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: have to be honest with yourself and stop over pampering yourself.
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: If you want to be valuable.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: Be careful so that you don't clap for yourself too early.
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: I listen to almost all my messages for personal edification
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: and then for improvement someone learning Man of God.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: You stand on stage, you call ten scriptures, only one
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: was right.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: The members are watching. Respect you, but they are watching.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: So the next time you say God said, they translate
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: your one over nine, one over ten error and say
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: I'm not sure you really had well because scriptures that
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: you can see you didn't get it. How about the
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: rem of the spirit that you Why should I be
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: sure your prophetic word is correct? Are wait together. They
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: asked you to go and prepare for a seminar. Do
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: your own work. Don't stand here and say it does
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: not matter. Even God knows, I'm honest. No study to
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: show yourself approved onto God. A workman that needed not
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: to be ashamed. The Bible declares rightly, dividing the world
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: of truth.
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: You a telor here. Do not stop until you sow
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: for kings.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: You are builder here.
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: Do not stop until you're beautiful kings.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: You may have heard me say time and again, how
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: do you know you are valuable when you find yourself
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: in the palace. Until you have gotten to the palace,
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: you are not yet there. Because until you serve kings,
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: you cannot receive the reward of kings.
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: With someone learning.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: I speak to you in the name of Jesus that,
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: as a result of this morning's meeting and the challenge
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: that it has brought to your life, kings who begin
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: to place a demand on you, I'm saying this because
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: I want you to learn, be valuable, Be very, very valuable.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: I may stop here just the third. You have to
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: be valuable. I am when I see people who under
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: utilize their potentials spiritually speaking and otherwise I get agitated
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: in my spirit, not negatively, because I feel there is
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: more that they can do. Hallenlujah, Madam. I know you cook,
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: but for as long as you remain small like that
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: and don't improve yourself, you will keep getting angry at
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: those who are being called. The day you improve yourself
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: put in your packaging and cooking. One day you will
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: hear that they are calling you in a buja. They
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: will think it's a lie. Favor is easy when there
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: is competence. Let me repeat myself. Favor is easy when
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: there is competence.
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: Favor is easy.
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: Man of God, The nations can open for you when
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: you are prepared. It is often said that every time
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: the student is truly ready, the teacher comes. So if
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: the teacher has not come, it means that the student
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: is not ready.
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: Walk on yourself, Walk on yourself.
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: People give me a lot of gifts, and among the
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: many gifts that they give me are clothes. People love
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: to you know, they're just so clothes when their suits
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: strates or anything. And when I try them on for
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: a few of them that I do try, sometimes I
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: laugh at myself and I said, what was in the
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: mind of the person who sold this day? Did he
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: really intend it for me? Or did he just do
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: it for many people and they just distributed, Because sometimes
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: I can wear something twice my size, and I'm saying,
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: you mean this guy sat down and actually was it
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: for me? Did he get my measurement. I'm not trying
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: to be sarcastic. I'm just saying, come on, no, if
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: if you want, if you want to attract the attention
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: of kings, you must be thorough. You must be excellent
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: man of God, thorough stand to preach on Sunday or
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: any other day. If you are given the privilege, don't
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: waste the altar, don't waste God's people's time. Deliver with precision,
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: with exactitude, with intelligence, and with the anointing, and even
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: your superiors will match you. You see the thing about competencies,
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: It does not have to be done twice to be seen.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Competency is so powerful that at your first delivery of it,
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: they know you know excellent people immediately, because excellence.
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: Is a language.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: As a preacher, as a politician, as a career person,
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: as an elder statesman.
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: Are we together?
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: We're going to pray. One of my tailors many years ago,
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: he listened to one of my message where I was
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: challenging people to be competent and to be excellent, and
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: he took one year and worked on himself. And as
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: at that time he had not here, he was not
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: sewing anything for me. And he made up his mind.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: And then I was in Zaria. He traveled down to
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: Zaria and brought the clothes. I just felt stirring in
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: my heart to get up in the night and to
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: try them on. You can imagine, and I got up
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: and I tried them. The fil was excellent when I
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: looked at it. He just missed a bit on the size,
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: but the finishing was excellent. I had to tell the protocol.
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: I said, go and look for the gentlemen who did this,
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: and let him come. And that was it.
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: The rest is history.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: Most of your prayers is not answered because God wants
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: to help you. If your destiny help us meet you
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: in that raw state, it may close a door that
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: would take messy to open. So God delayed your breakthrough,
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: so you will work on yourself first.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: Not every delays the moonic.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: There are some delays that are a sign of God's messy,
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: So that you prepare in a hurry.
- 1:10:39Speaker 4: Away together.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: They gave you a contract to cook for a wedding,
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: and only the people you cooked it were able to
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: eat the food. Okay, take it as a challenge and
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: go back and say no, I have to work on myself.
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: Don't say my brother married or did something and I
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: was here. And this is the sentiments that we bring around.
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: People collect contracts, they don't do it or they don't
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: do it well, and they whip up emotions, biases of tribe,
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: biases of religion, and other things. Remember what I told you.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: Favor is easy when there is competence. If I know
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: you are a Christian architect, for instance, and you are exceptional,
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: it becomes easy to favor you because now you have
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: given me an at that basis to even honor you.
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: And I will honor you without feeling a shame.
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: I can prove that my bias for you was correct
- 1:11:34Speaker 4: or justified.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: Many incompetent people want favor, and yet it does not
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: work for them. It's God challenges someone this morning. Make
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: up your mind that you will be exceptional workers in
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: this church. Let me challenge you in this morning session.
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: Make up your mind to give yourself the best.
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: Continue to improve yourself. Don't recycle your level of excellence.
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: Grow, grow.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: There are still other heights away together. Whether you are
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: in the media, you are in the ushering.
- 1:12:12Speaker 4: You are whatever. Thank God for the level that you're in.
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: But you should always observe, do an honest critique on yourself.
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: What can I do to improve myself.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: Within within the jurisdiction of that which is allowed. How
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: can I be a better usher? How can I be.
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: A better protocol?
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: Okay, I was given the assignment of conducting a service.
- 1:12:36Speaker 4: I didn't do it so well.
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: I go back to God Lord, I take responsibility.
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: I can grow. You improve yourself.
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: Sooner or later you'll find out that you are not
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: on the floor again. Champions are people who are determined.
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: There are people who are given to continuous improvement. You
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: go right now to my room and check my laptop.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: There is a message I'm listening to and there are
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: things I'm doing concerning myself. Once I'm done with my session,
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: I go back and I will continue working on myself
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: before the evening that I have come for a program.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: It's not an excuse, it is not luck, it is

- 1:15:32Speaker 3: Prayer point number one? Lord, In my lifetime, I must
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: become a voice for your majesty.
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: Lift your voice and pray.
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: In my lifetime. Go ahead and pray. Someone is declaring.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: Make it a commitment and turn it into a prayer.
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: In my lifetime, I must become a voice in the
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: area you have called me to function in career.
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: I must become a voice an influence.
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: In ministry, not for the gratification of the flesh, but
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: for your majesty.
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: Someone pray in the name of Jesus.
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: I make a decision, and I make a covenant with
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: my destiny. I must become a voice politically.
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: I must become a voice in ministry. I must become
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: a voice.
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: Financially, I must become a voice as far as kingdom
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: exploits is concerned.
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: No excuses in the name of Jesus. I obtained race.
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: In Jesus' name. Last prayer point, the Bible says, no
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: man intending to build a house and the tower will
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: not first sit down and counter cost whether it has
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: what it takes to finish it. Allelujah. I have shared
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: with you a few of the demands. It is not
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: enough to just claim things. You must be willing to
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: responsibly work in partnership with the world of God and
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: the ministry of the Holy Spirit to subscribe to the demands.
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: Demand number one is the demand of knowing God, having
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: an experience with God like we said yesterday. Demand number
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: two is the demand of transformation, exploring another horizon higher
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: than your cultural context, higher than the context of status chool.
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: And then number three to be value with extremely valuable,
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: not gifted. Being gifted does not necessarily translate to being valuable.
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: You can be gifted potentially value talks of the refined
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: version of you. Allelujah. Some of you may need to
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: embrace this Bible and begin to settle down, create a
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: system and a routine for your spiritual growth. Some of
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: you may need to go to a bookstore around or
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: to order online if you can, or get together materials
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: from minds brilliant minds who are paid their primes to
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: explore you're a man of God. Here may I challenge
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: you that it takes more than good preaching to be
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: able to run a ministry successfully. Learn leadership, learn administration,
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: learn finances, learn diplomacy. As a man of God, you
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: will be interacting with people from the political space, the
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: judicial space. You must understand and their language and sustaining intelligence.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: To be able to relate with people, you must understand psychology.
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: People will not come and trust you with your lives
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: and submit to your leadership when they see you as
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: a confused individual, even though well meaning. It's time to
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: shake off this mediocrity and take away excuses and make
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: up our minds that I will be exceptional by the
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: grace and the spirit of God. Is someone ready to
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: pray Father, all that it takes for me to give
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: voice to my generation? Are you obtain grace to work
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: in it?
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: Go ahead and pray? Go ahead and.
- 1:19:37Speaker 9: Pray the discipline to pray the discipline to first the
- 1:19:44Speaker 9: discipline to study scripture until.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: I build my spiritual capacity. I obtain grace from God
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. Someone is praying, Lord the
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: requecided level of exposure that I need to lift me
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: beyond the horizon of culture, to leave me beyond the
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: horizon of my local environment, to leave me beyond the
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: horizon of status. School.
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: I obtained grace.
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: I obtained grace.
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: I obtained grace.
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: Finally, pray for the grace to refine your value. Lord,
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: I'm tired of being jealous. I'm tired of fighting people
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: with bitter envy.
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: I'm tired of a life of competition. I obtained grace.
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: I obtained grace to work on myself, to work on my.
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: Gift, to work on my value until I'm able to
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: serve kings with honor. In the name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: May I encourage you, therefore, to please go and listen
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: to these teachings again, and then to charge you like
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: I did yesterday night with the permission of Bishop, that
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: tonight we trust God to be able to teach some
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: more and then have the opportunity to speak over our lives.
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: Pray for the sick and then pray particularly over our request.
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: I believe in the God that.
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: Answers prayers, and I know that God will do us wonders. Tonight,
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: May the Lord bless you, and I declare that all
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: the sessions that are coming up would be profitable sessions
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: for us.
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: All in the name of.
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: Jesus, will not be victims of these truths we have heard,
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: but they will add and contribute to our excelling in
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: the name of Jesus Christ. Amen, give Jesus a big,
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: big hand clerk.
