• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Lizabeth Citad, God bless you. Extodus, chapter number nineteen, from
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: verse five. So last week I had to lay a
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: foundation showing you the disparity between the Old Covenant, what
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: you call the Old Testament, and the New and I
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: just want to get into the art of the conversation
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: today Exodus nineteen five. Now, therefore, if you will obey
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then you shall
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: be a peculiar treasure onto me above all people, for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the earth is mine. And look at verse six, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: you shall be onto me a kingdom of priests and
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and all in nation. These are the words which you
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: speak to the children of Israel. Now, God was telling
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: them that one way to enter into his plan and
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: his will for their lives is to keep his covenant.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Now what covenant was referring to the covenant he had
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: with Abraham. That's the covenant, the essense of what the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Israelite enjoyed. And you keep this at the back of
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: your mind throughout the entire scripture. Is the covenant of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: God with Abraham. That was what made them different from
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: all people over the face of the heath. Nothing more so.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: It is that if you get it right with God,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: your children can keep enjoying out of it for the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: rest of their lives. So it's very important, and that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: why you must get this conversation, and the subject of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: discussion is that. Okay, now let me show you another
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: text on your Bibles. With me. Let's go to the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Book of Genesis. Genesis, chapter number seventeen. Will start the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: reading from verse one. I want you to be very
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: attentive and listen to the dictates. What is written here
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and when Abram was ninety years old than nine. The
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Lord appeared onto Abram and said onto him, I am
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the Almighty God. Walk before me and beout perfect, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I will make my covenant between me and you, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I will multiply you exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and God talked with him, saying, as for me, behold,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: my covenant is with you, and you shall be a
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: father of many nations. Neither shall your name be more
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: name any more be called Abraham, but you shall your
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: name shall be called Abraham, for a father of many
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: nations have made you, and I will make you exceeding fruitful.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And I will make nations out of you, and kings
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: shall come out of you. And I will establish my
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: covenant between me and you, and your seat after you
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in their generations, for an everlasting What covenant to be
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: God unto you and to your seed after you, And
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I will give unto you and to your seed after
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: you the land wearing you are a stranger, all the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. And God said
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to Abraham, you shall keep my covenant therefore you and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: your seed after you in their generation. Now what's the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: covenant that God was talking about? Here and please listen. Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I told you Blessing and Devil's band. Come look at
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the way it works. Now, let the male come here
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the lady. So this is what happens when people are
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: getting married. You are coming together to build what is
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: called a covend that relationship. So there is no covenant
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: if it is just one person, because covenant requires agreement. Amen,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it's a pact, it's a truth. The two people are
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: coming together to say, on that God, I swear an
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: ought to take you take her? Yeah, to be my
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: lawfully worded whatever it is people say. Now listen, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: children that will be born from this union are beneficiary
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: of their fidelity to this covenant. Is that okay? They
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the children will enjoy or suffer from their attitude towards
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the covenant. When things like this are said, it means
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: so much to God. I'm going to talk about marriage
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: covenant a beat tonight. It means so much to God.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: So you cannot attend a wedding ceremony where somebody says
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: that I want to get married, Say, okay, who do
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you want to get married to? Myself? You cannot establish
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: covenant with yourself. You can make a vow You can
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: make a promise, but when it comes to covenant, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: enter into it with another person entirely. Are you there now?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: So God establishes covenant with people. This is what I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: gonna do. This is what I want to do, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: for this covenant to walk in, this is what I'm
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: committed to. I will make you a peculiar people, but
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: this is what you two must be committed to. If
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: either of the individuals decide to treat disagreement and show
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: it was catter, there's nothing wrong with the covenant. Something
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: is wrong with those who are supposed to walk in it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Is it simple enough? Just wait for me for a moment,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: because I need you to understand the way it works.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: We continue that text now I'm gonna jump to stem.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: This is my covenant, which you shall keep between me
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: and you, and you'll see after you and every man
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: child amongst you, and you shall circum size the flesh
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: of your foreskin, and it shall be a token of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: covenant between me and you. So that's why you hear
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: in a very good environment for a marriage covenant to bind,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: there is what is called the oath. Taking the oath
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: is not complete if it simply says that I take
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: you as my lovely worded wife. I take you as
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: my lovely worded husband, to love and to hold, to cherish,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: and to all that till death, as long as we
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: both shall leave till death do us. But there must
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: be a content that says that I will not, how
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: do we put it, now, share my body with another
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to cling to you only as long as we both
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: shall leave. So they nature of the covenant that this
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: is requires a vow that enforces fidelity, that is faithfulness
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to this person. You don't leave covenant open ended. That
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: is to say, you can do whatever you like. If
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you ever say you hear God say you will be
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you a great person. That's a promise.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I will make your voice head all over the world.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: That's a promise. When it tells you what you are
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to do to ensure that works, it becomes a covenant.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Anything you have written that God said that ensure your
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: own responsibility is not a covenant. Amen, it's not a covenant.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: So in marriage, for instance, as a covenant relation, as
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: long as that both people are alive, there is a responsibility. True. Ah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: let's give them a big hand steal with me. We
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: have a long journey to cover. So God said to Abraham,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: this is the token of my covenant. This is what
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you must keep doing. You must sacrifice, you must not sacrifice.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Circumcisee the flesh, all right of your false skin. Let's
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: go to verse tend again. This is my covenant which
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: you shall keep between me and you, and you're seed
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: after you, every man child? Are you seeing that even
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the Bible does not support female genital motivation? Man child,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: So if you say you want to circumcise a female,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it becomes wickedness. Amen, let me ask you a question,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: according to what I showed you last week, about the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: old covenant been abolished and Christ coming to set the new,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: a circum psition still necessary. Even you that said no,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: your heart is saying, be like, all right, look at
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: it vers level now, and you shall circumcise the flesh
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: of your foreskin, and it shall be a token of
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the covenant betwixt me and you. Yes, and he that
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: is eight days old shall be circumcised amongst you every
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: man child in your generations that is born in the house.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: This is the reason why when we're studying the shore
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: meancy of David, David got in front of gold. What
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: did he say, who is this uncircumcised? Feels? Then that
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: is who is this one that is not a part
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: of the commonwealth of our covenant? Because they understood that
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: talking on that covenant his circumcision. Amen, look at this
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: interesting story. Maybe this will help you understand the Bible.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: More Genesis, chapter number thirty four, very sad story. Story
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of Dinah. All right, now, diner the daughter of Leah,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: which she bare onto Jacob went out to see the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: daughters of the land, Yes, and shake him the son
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: of Armor the invite. The prince of the country saw her.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: He took her and lay with her and did what
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: defiled her and his sol clave onto dinner. So his
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: own case is different. He he he was a sincere
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: person when about things wrongly. So you know the Bible.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Look look at the scripture again, Amen, go to verse two,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: share caps of Armor the vibe Prince of lost. So
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I took her and lived with her and defil You
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: must understand the context. He didn't rap her. H I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: feel now like I'm speaking to female activists. Now I'm
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: just showing you the Bible. Okay, let's leave it. Well,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: did you read that in your Bible, the case of
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Ammon and Tamamon. So this guy liked the girl and
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: he defiled. Definment is for a girl to lose virginity,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: all right, So he defiled her before they were going
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: to caught that party alone. You know, you guys, yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: you understand the context? Is it simple enough? What the
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: context is? Okay? All right? He lay with her and defiled, yes,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: verse three, And he's so cleve to Dina, the daughter
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: of Jacob, and he loved the damn cell. And he
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: speaken to the damn cell, yes, and seem speak to
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: his father Amon, saying get me this damn cell to wife.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And Jacob heard that he had defiled Diner the daughter.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Now his sons were with the cattle in the field,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and Jacob held his piece. Well come yeah, and I'm
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: not the father of Shehem went out onto Jacob to
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: commune with him. And the sons of Jacob came out
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: of the field. And when they heard it, the men
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: were griefed. Better be careful who's sister you touch. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: they were very rat because he had a wroth full
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: in Israel, aligning with Jacob's daughter, which Stell ought not
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: to be done. And I'm more commune with them, saying,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the soul of my son's shaken long get for your daughter.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I pray you give her to him to wife, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: make your marriages with us, and give your daughters to us,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and take our daughters onto you, and he shall duel
• 16:39

  Speaker 3: sons of Jacovernance are shake, ma amor the father deceitfully
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: be and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. Yes,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And they said, until we cannot do this thing to
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: give our sister to one that is what uncircumcised. For
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: that way he approached us. Are you seeing that for
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: that covenant with Abraham to bind it had to be
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: personed even to the consciousness of children. Whatsoever covenant God
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: hass with you? Tell your children? Is that? Okay? Yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I sit my children down in this lineage. Nothing that
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: is in our hands. No, we all talk that, but
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: none of you have ever asked me opposed to what's
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: our own covenant obligation? Because you say we are for covenant,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: you're so happy for coming up. We get you in
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: this house. The covering off prays God says off us,
• 18:28

• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the back pressing your phone. Don't worry. Let me teach you.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: So they said that would be very proved its verse fifteen. Now,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: but in this we consent onto you if you will
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: be as we be, that every mail of you be circumcised. Yes,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: then we will give our daughters onto you, and we
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: will take your daughters to us and will dwell with
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you and will become one people. All right. And if
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you're not a king and all that, yes, go to
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: versu next verse the world Please are more? Are you
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: seeing now? He was ready to be circumcised at that age,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and check Amo son, yes, And the young man deferred
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: not to do the thing because he had delight in
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Jacob's daughter, and he was more honorable than all the
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: house of his father. And Arman Shakem and his son
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: came to the gate of their city and commune with
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: the men of their city, saying, these men are peaceable
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: trade there in years. Let us take wives and daughters. Yes,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and look at this, only hearing, will the men consent
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: onto us for to dwell with us, to be one people.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: If every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: shall not their cattle and their substance, and every beast
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: of of theirs be hours Only let us consent on
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: to them, and they will duel with us and onto
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: ourman Schekem and his son acting sorry. Yeah, all that
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: went out of the gate of the city, and every
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: male was circumcised and went out of the gate of
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the city. Now listen, from the moment those guys consented
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to be circumcised, every male in that city, God is
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: seeing them as he's seeing the seed of Abraham. You see,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the guy was wrong, but he had a good heart,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: and he loved the girl. Really, he loved the girl. Okay,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: so let's continue. And it came to pass on the
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: third day when they were soret. You know what that means.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: You know what that means. The language might be too well,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: you know what it means. Good. And the two of
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: each man his sword and came upon the city boldly
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and slew all the males, and they slew armor, and
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Shekem his sons his son with the hedge of the sword,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and went out.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: And the sons of Jacob came upon the Slane and
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: spoiled the city, because they had defiled their they had
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: filed their sister. They took their sheep and their oxen,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and their asses, and that which was in the city,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and that which was in the field, and all their worlds,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: and all their little ones, and their wives the two
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: captives and spoiled even though they was in the house.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And Jacob said to Simon and Levi, you have troubled
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the land, among the Canaanite and the Perizide. And I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: me and slay me, and I shall be destroyed and
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: my house. Now you will understand when we get to
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Genesis forty nine. The reason why Jacob said to those boys,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: coust is your anger. He said, because instrument of cruelty
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: duels with you. Why they broke a covenant there, and
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: God wasn't pleased. Well, some Bible, to your logians, believe
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: that Moses couldn't enter the Promised Land on the account
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: of that curse. Because at the edge of the promised Land,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: anger manifested. He was supposed to speak to the rock,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: but he struck the rock, and the Bible said, Jesus
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: was the rock that followed them. But you know that's
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: under the old covenant. Under the new Covenant, on the
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Mountain of Transfiguration, Jesus stood there and Moses was part
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: of those that spoke with him. Under the law, Moses
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: could went at the Promised Land. On that grace Jesus
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: brought him back. If you feel that, and that's the
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: beauty of grace. Amen, live to your answer, and thank
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: God for grace. If it if it was under the law,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: like someone was amout of that bent to one side.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, oh every time people will gather with sticks,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, oh yes, they say it's oftentimes you squeeze
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: your hand to the baket. I didn't drop anything flow.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: They say, oh, sorry, even we have done it before.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: They say blasphemy, blasphemy and they say pit say, were
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: bringing outside God. So once a covenant is made, God
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: who knows it. And you should also see we've seen
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: by blacker patterns that God can establish covenant with men.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: But you must understand in context that our covenant will
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: never be about salvation, because there's no greater covenant than
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: that which Isus has made once and for all. Are
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: you mean now today? I want to show you what
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: it means to be covenant minded, or let me say,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I want to teach you about covenant relationships and covenant practices.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: So let me start with this. What does it mean
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: to be covenant minded? To be covenant minded is to
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: be conscious of the weight of an agreement once you
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: have an agreement with a person, to keep in mind,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: to be to have fidelity, to be faithful towards the
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: weight of it. If you tell someone that listening to
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying, I'm going to marry you, all right,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: marry the person. That's a promise, not a covenant anyways,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: unless something really bad as happened the bottom of you
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: cannot agree, is that? Okay? Yes there can be deal
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: breakers true, Oh yes, believers who have deal breakers. True.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, you see something and say no, this this
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: can work. Oh yes, oh yes. M If you just
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: tell your new Bobby and say let's pray, say what
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: do you mean prayer? And he now says that I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: pray to the universe. So he sits down and fold
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: this leg, and he's doing something like amen. The boar
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: boy is always saying, the universe bless you. Now look
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: at this. A covenant minded believer sticks with that is,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: as a covenant matter believer, you stick with your agreements
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: both with God and with men without breaking it or
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: walking out of it. So if God tells you, for instance,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I want to do certain things in your life, and
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I want you to give me every month three days dry,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: that's powerful. True, that's powerful. That's a weighty instruction, particularly
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: if he goes as far as said on the basis
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: of this is what I will do. All right, if
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: you are going to see the move of God, you
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: do it and let this world carry so much weight
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: in your heart that you stick with it. And one
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: very dangerous about God is that if you stop sticking
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: to what He's told you, he won't shout. It may
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: even take you time to know. You see, the way
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: God wants to speak to a believer is true is
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: in word witness on your inside. If you kill that antennae,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: you are predisposed to error. So you're not sure your
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: spirit to be potent enough to keep receiving signals. The
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: moment you can't receive signals, you are like a city
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: with our walls. You have no defriends. You don't even
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: know when God is happy with you and when God
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: is not. And that's the reason why we pray and
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: spend time with him. Now look at this all right,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: because I want to really get into the concept of
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: covenant relationships and understand the dynamics. Have you seen Bud
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: saying that is my covenant brother, Covenant sister? Do you
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: have a covenant brother? Covenance sister? Do you have a
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: covenant friend? But you do have a covenant relationship? And
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I will show you now. I wrote here that many
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: today use words carelessly. We have a generation of people
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: who use words without understanding the gravity of the words
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and the implication of their commitment. A boy and a
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: girl at dating and please be careful what you say
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: to people if you're not sure of your journey together,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: and say I will never leave you. Hm, you've read
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: several Okay, say I will never leave you, not forsake you. Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: And the girl or the guy says, now that you're
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: going for your n y C. Okay, why n y C.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Forgive me now here this this say now that you're
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: going for your n y C. You know I'm here
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: or sling for you to go, and I'll be sending
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: you money per month. Let us make a covenant that
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: you will not get somebody else but me and the
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: girl say, what do you mean? The guy said, don't worry,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I'll teach you. And he gets raisor blades and incize
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: the hand and in size is home. I said, we
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: fuse it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah he did. I say
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I will never leave you. In the name of Jesus.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: We and the girl gets to n y C camp
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: and see a guy that ticks all the boxes, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: everything went from just justing to falling aggressively in love. Still,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: they began to pray that oppress them to the same
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: local government, the same ppa. Be careful how you make promises.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: It's a dangerous name to use words. Anyhow, is that? Okay? Mhm.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Until you have full comprehension of where your life is going,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: you honestly can't know who you're married. Yes, Ah, take
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: your time, sir, okay, take your time. And while you
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: are single, rockets singles? Can I hear you say? Yes? Listen.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: What you don't know is that there are many who
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: are married who wish to be you. So while you have,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: while you have this season, enjoy it. Amen. One time
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I went to buy television, and after I bought the television,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: the girl attending now said, but there's another one. Okay,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I said, don't way. What I bought is everything I budgeted.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I won't stress myself. The moment you cleave to your
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: own break the antenna. There's nothing more. It's superfluity of nothingness.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I tell you, the devil knows how to police things
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: and make them. You look beautiful on the outside, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: let me give you ages. See, people are perfect till
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: you hear them out. Okay, everybody have stories. Ah, So
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: people get into commitments without understanding the gravity. If you
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: have a friend, it's okay to say his friendship, don't
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: call it covenant friendship if it's not deep. Don't say
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: somebody is your covenance sister because you pray twice. No,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: don't do that. That's anwise because you are putting on
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: each other demands that you may not be able to meet,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: expectations that you may not be able to fulfill. Okay,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: so many of the things we'll call covenant and friendship
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: today they are even still strangers. A relationship that has
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: not passed the test of time cannot be referred to
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: as a covenant relationship. It can't. If somebody is meeting
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: you for the first time and the person is saying,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: for that first time, I want to spend the rest
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of my life with you, then you know that that
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: particular life is somehow worthless. The life you want to
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: spend with somebody who don't know you don't know the
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: value true, ah say, is love at first sight? It's infatuation.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. Love requires knowledge. Listen listen
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: to what I'm saying. You don't look at you. You
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: say love at first sight. The moment I saw you,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I knew, I just I just knew. The person just said, ah,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I've been praying that God will send you.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: You know. When the guy is that it was back
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: because men are wire to pursue. I said this one
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: that you're saying, you've been praying that what's happening? And
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: the girl said, you know, God told me that this
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: particular disease that I have, that the man will come
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: that will marry me with it, the guy said. The
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: guys start thinking wow. The guy still try to maintain
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: his thills like oh wow, but in his mind he's
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: honestly saying, tell me more what this So you cannot
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: call it love without knowing the person. Unfortunately, in Christian settings,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: with so wired the environment that every relationship must start
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: with marriage, that a week after talking, the guy is
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: already asking are you marry me or not? I didn't
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: say anything, m I think it is a sign of
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: intelligence to get to know people and have simple conversation
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: because the moment to bring marriage into it pretains has entered.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: You will never know yourself again, so get to have
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: simple conversations. Check the fellow's emotions. Is is the state
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: of the health of his emotions. Somebody that whenever you
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: talk more is moving close and it's bretting so hard. Ah,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: any small conversation you sit down on the bench is
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: moving close and moving close. And who else? Amen, see
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: this thing called love? Be careful. Oh. Yes. One time
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I was eating rise my wife, I told you, sah,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: So I heard the voice loud and class. I'm sorry's
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: your wife me? I said, boy, I don't like her?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Should I not even know that? That's not good. That's
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: when I went, that says the Lord. So when we
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: sit down to talk, I want to get to know you.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: She's talking about the cheval beams and the Sarah films.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, I get that, but let's let's talk
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: about it and say, oh holy girls, I said, yeah, yeah,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: that one safe day. But you see see this, Yeah,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: tell me about yourself and all that. Say my god,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: you know I just finished one school of so and
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: so and so in the Miraculous so I covered on
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: my boys. I said, from today, anytime you see me
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: sit with the sister, come and see between us. I say,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: don't come and sit down, because I'll be bored to death.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: That's the reason why you talk, I I was just
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: talking to I said, Yo, wow, okay, what did you
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: stay another? I say, yes the other time as I
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: was in the bathroom. You look, So that's how somebody
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: went to bi petrol. And then you know it was
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: even drinking Gary. And then you let me tell you something.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: The most difficult for madness to know is the one
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: you shall I leave it? Mm hmm. Majority of the
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: listen to what I'm saying. They I'm not talking about relationship,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: You're talking about covenance. So the danger overrunning into these
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: things is that you can marry a satisfied mad person
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: without knowing because the period of brevity did not give
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: you time to see the madness. Cella, are you for
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying? You get married? Now? The fellows you say,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: he wants to eat, he carries to to wash his hands,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: he said. To be covenantly minded is to understand commitment
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: to to an agree tenant, or to an agreement or truth.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: So I will not show you examples of covenant relationships.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Number one marriage Marriage is a covenant relationship, and anyone
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: who is gonna get married most treated with that level
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: of understanding. Amen, say lad and claim marriage is a
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: covenant relationship. Say again, marriage is a covenant relationship. I'll
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: not shore we text write the Book of Proverbs, Proverbs
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: chapter number two. Let's start reading from verse verse twelve,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Proverbs to verse twelve. To deliver you from the way
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: of the evil man, from the man that speaketh forward things,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: who leaves the part of uprightness to work in the
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: ways of badness, who rejoins to do evil, and the
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: light in the forwardness of the wicked, whose ways are crooked.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: And they are forwarding their part to deliver you from
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: the strange woman, even the stranger which flattered with words,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: which forsake the guide over you, and forgets what the
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: covenant with wu, Oh God, look at it. Genesis chapter
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: number two, Genesis Chatter number two. I will start reading
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: from verse twenty three. Genesis two. From verse twenty three,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: and Adam said, this is now the bone of my
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: bones and the flesh of my flesh. She shall be
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: called what woman, for she was taken out of man.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: what the what The covenant behind marriage is heavy, because
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: what is happening now is that people are quick to
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: swear these oats. They don't understand the debts. It is deep,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: all right, I feel I'm saying there, this is what
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. I am not saying listen to what I'm saying.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I am not saying that if somebody has found yourself
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: in an abusive relationship died there. I'm not saying that.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I'm speaking to understand that end of the Bible. But
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: let me show you something I think I okay, I
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: was a few days ago. I was reading the story
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: of a woman that was sentenced to death. She and
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: the houseband aard misunderstand that about five months after they
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: got married, and someone came to the house to help
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: them get settled and everything, and she kept holding knife,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: they collecting knife, old knife, A collecting knife, say I
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: will kill him, old night, will collecting knife. Beggar did
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: that like five times, according to what I read, And
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: later that night the argument continued and finally she stabbed
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: him to death. Let me tell you something, if you
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: find yourself in the missile of abuse around, the love
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: of life is the greatest if I'm saying there, because
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: what oppon is that we have folded our hands and
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: just tell people to enjoy, and you and your tievdy died.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: A man can be abused, a woman can be abused.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Abuse has no gender. But I want also to understand
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: the wit of what marriage is. The old you took,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: you stood before the old tar of the living God
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: and before the saint must mean something to you, all right,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: that you are standing and said today I pledge to
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: take you as my lawful wedded spouse. It must come
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: for something. Don't don't don't break a marriage like it's
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: a relationship. Front text message considered this over, it's not
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. The moment you say I do,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: No other gender should make sense to you anymore. Short
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: to antenna, Listen are you feel? And I'm speaking as
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: a married man, all right, because the punishment is grievous,
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: the very serious one. So because people people just say
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: this and I want to marry, Listen to what I'm saying.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Before you agree to marry anybody, check what the weight
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: of the awards mean to them. Then check out these
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: person treats important relationships around out of this person treats.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Who are these person's friends, how do they relate? How
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: do they talk? What they talk about? All right, because
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: and which is one of my major body to be
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: able to particularly true stories sensitize a generation to know
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: that you may not. You may judge somebody wrong thee
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: if you want to judge them based on their relationship
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: with their parents. It's a dicey thing to say, because
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: some people are coming from places where their own house
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: is the weapon fashioned against them. I've seen cases where
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: your father rose up to a rain curses on the
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: girl on her wedding morning, rain curses. She put me
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: on the phone and said, talk to him, and I
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: was here. The curses I was hearing was too much,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: and I said, quietly, my heart, this girl may take
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: this man as a father, but never as a dad.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Father is biological, all right. I've died being balanced with something,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: all right. So that you said to Cliff to our only,
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: and to Clive to him only, as long as you
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: both shall leave, must carry a weight in your heart.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: It must mean something to you, just as it means
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: something to you God. So what that means is that
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: you can't. You cannot be married and be flitting. Don't
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: do that, you know the other time, just as you
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: pass in front of me, my God, my heart, was raising.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: It must count for something that shows that you are honorable.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: I seen it shows that you you love God. You see,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: it is not enough to love your spouse love God.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: If you see someone who loves you more than the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: fellow loves God, you may enjoy it for a season,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: but you carry Oh yes, he said, I just I
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: just want to spend every morning, afternoon and night with you.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: You see that since I met you has not been interesting.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: You are my church, and the girl the girls is saying,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: and guys say the guy the guy, I say, I
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: go life for you are my church. It must count
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: for something. We must not get you to infidelity. Hm, No,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: it must come for something. You know this person is
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: my ex and then she just came to my city.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I want to be the one to help her book
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: or tell us? Who let me tell you something? Any
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: ex that knows you are married and is still keeping
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: relational conversation with you, Thank god you even married that person,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: because that fellow is a dangerous person. You don't tell
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: a male ex to borrow your money as a married man.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: A married man chatting a male ex and say, sometimes
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: you don't use the word babe, how are you I'm
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: trying since you have left us, I have gone to
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: marry now you know this, you say, but that's not
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: even the case. Can you just give me some thank there?
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: And the conversation is moving from we remember the days
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: we used to spend good time together out Oh you
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: are going let me tell you this old flame still bonds? Hmmm,
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: old flames still what bonds? M All right, you're a peacemaker,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: You're a peaceful person. It's okay. So sometimes this thing
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: that you think is like yes of hers might be
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: a weakness that you're a professional flat say no, no,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I don't get into those kinds of things where I
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: block my ex. Nobody is saying should block the ex.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: I know what is if you not block the ex. No,
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: I must. I must be balanced. Listen to what I'm saying.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: There are people that on the account of how far
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: you went, don't put them where you see them. If
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: you will have a peaceful Now you are married, your
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: wife started giving bed Maybe she's adding weight. And every
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: time I said, I'm just maintaining my shape and just saying,
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I just wish what the man that is like. It
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: was that you met her. How do you walk someone
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: down the aisland and said, I don't I don't feel
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: anything for the person. That's ther responsibility. Amen. So marriage
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: is a covenant relationship that must be honored. By living
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: a faithful life with your spouse. You are not just
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: honoring yourselves with your bodies. You are honoring God. You see,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: listen to what I'm saying. Everyone under the sound of
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: my voice. You must hate reproach, You must hate embarrassment.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Whether are now asking you or led you to her?
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: And I fold your hand and say, actually, you know
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: that time it was a very vulnerable moment. Amen. Or
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: as a married person, you are following a girlop and
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: say I belong to it's a liar. So I belong
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: to follow up department. But I'm not officially in the department.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: I just do it from outside. So as you know,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I just got your contact to check up on you.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: The guest. Yeah, are you not misster? So so I
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: know your wife? No, your wife, we were together, so schools,
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: you know. Let me tell you something. If you love joy,
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: if you love peace, if you love length of days,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: stay faithful? Are you feel I'm saying that? Let me
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: tell you something. The devil doesn't want to first knock
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: anybody out. He wants to defeat you in an area,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: so you don't have a message in that area. All right,
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: So let me tell you something. There's nobody that cannot fall.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: There's no human being that cannot fall. You must know
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: when the conversation is going to be on handshake and
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: you know you pull back, all right. Number two Covenant relationships.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: That's covenant friendships. Covenant friendship. Very interesting one here. You
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: want to pay attention to the story of David and Jonathan.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: It was a relationship of meaning. I'm gonna show you
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: your texts. Amen, are you learning something tonight? Are you sure? Now?
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: Look at this Second Samuel, chapter number nine, from verse one.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: Second Samuel, chapter number nine, Verse one. You see what
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: I'm teaching. You may look like we're learning in an
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: atmosphere with humor, but you want to see the outer
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: life of a man can tragically go down when they
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: break covenant. It's a waited thing. I agree. From an
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: environment and a neighborhood where we have different people will
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: expect and all that. All the people I know that
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: their wives and were misbeaving up and now they all
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: died young they all died young. They all died young.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: Some men have made some women look miserable. We now
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: believe it is a normal thing for a man to
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: be unfaithful. It's a normal thing. And afread girl is
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: even expecting that when when we marry. I mean it's
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: men and men are polygamos in nature, because both of
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: you have refused to be trained and be discipled and
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: be accountable. You see account ability when you are accountable.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: You are doing no body of favor, your favor when
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: there's somebody who can call the person and say, come
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: and sit down here. Now, you don't talk to your
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: wife like that. You can, you know you you you
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: dare not raise your hands against your wife. No, you
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: cannot shout at your wife or both of you. Come
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: and see me. The fact that a man asks me
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: is that I can say come and see me, and
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: we respond. You're one step towards success. So sometime we
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: look at the construct we are beautyful, our save society
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: and say, all this truice, who is suf fight? Who
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: is fight the world? There's nothing to envy in the world.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: They are softening. I stand on the ground from the
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: plane where I know what is going on, I can
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: tell you, and as we keep learning their methods, their
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: strategies and things, carry the same way in our who
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: so far like them. There's nothing in the world. I
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: look at this seven chapter number nine, look at what
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: David said. And David said, is there yet any that
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: is left in the house of soul that I may
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: show him? What kindness? For who? For Donatan's sake? That is,
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: he remembered the agreement that he had with Donatan. This
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: is what I'm saying here. When you have agreement with
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: people who stay with it, whether things are good for
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: them or things are bad, be a friend that stick
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: closer around their brother. You see, we can all complain
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: in this world. Nobody loves anybody. Nobody is nobody since
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: nobody is this. But you do. You have people that
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: you are committed to. There are many of us that
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: as Christian. There's no human being that can ask you
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: for money in life. You have a default response, my God,
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: ye yesterday, I spend the money. You have default answer.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Let's pick up our phones now and do a social experiments.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Hold somebody now in your life and say I'm dying.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: Say for me yesterday I almost died. Say you you're
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: dying me. Yesterday I almost died to the way carrying me.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: I was having a serpen It was Gary m h. No,
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: we must learn to be genuinely committed to ourselves. If
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: you say someone is your covenant friend, stay with it.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: They do everything within your human capacity to make the
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: relationship work. Don't say you're my covenant friend. Yesterday I
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: texted you. We didn't reply, and then I reason someone
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: to reply, maybe specially was going through something. And you
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: just see sixteen discause everything worsapp caused these how this
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: life is. In this life, once nobody cares, then just
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: go to the worst up startles. Trust nobody but God,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: old man for himself. Let me tell you something. Let
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: me tell you something. Listen. Building into a personal relationship
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: is an art, that is a skill. Listen, listen, put
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: your notes now, let me teach you something. All right.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: As I rounded up the mentorship academy, I taught them this. Listen.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: The only human, not human being, the only person that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: we're reward you based on the quality of your heart.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: It's good. Listen. Even somewhere almost put the oil on
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: what's his name now, eliab Almost God said, don't look
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: at his heart. Don't look at his continents, don't look
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: at his stature. For the Lord see it not as
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: man see it. Men look at the howth toward a parents,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: but God look at the hearth. If you want life
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: to reward you based on the goodness of your heart,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: you will get the reward when you get to heaven,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: maybe in ten thousand years, when Jesus come. The reward
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: is not when you die. No, the reward is that
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: the judgments is of Christ. I didn't tell you, so
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: I make both to tell you that it's not soon. Yes,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: but as far as this earth is concerned, you will suffer. Listen,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: anything that is in the goodness of your heart, speak
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: it out. If you don't learn to express yourself, you
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: will lose favor, You will lose a relationship, You will
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: lose meaningful people, and everybody will work out of your
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: life with the assumption that you are bad and God,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: God will not defend you. Go and check our corporate organizations. Work.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: People are dodged based on disposition, you said, Christian, I'm
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: praying for our boss and praying for a boss. The
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: boss at bad day you didn't sell a pep day
• 1:01:22

  Speaker 3: in the hospital, yes back, and they were bringing me fruits,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: so that could be fine. And the fruits were not
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: pleasant to me, to a cucumber. And I just made
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: an observation that the fruits that they were bringing we
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: had had fruits. I said this I had. My life
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: is who brings school? Could not to somebody will seek?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: It was yes Back, It was yes Back. It was
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: yes Back. So I called one of their leaders. I said,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: tell them the moment I come down from this hospital, bear,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: there will be war boys, I said, every body altogether.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I said, every day nobody is sending text message, gets
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: well soon, because you feel a my spiritual person. I
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: want to see it. I need it. They said, we've organized.

  Speaker 3: build to us, oh you know, I'm the kind of
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: person that I am. I'm an introvert. Let me tell

• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: last requires wisdom. Anything, whether relationship, organization, or anything requires wisdom.

  Speaker 3: Now look at this, learn the science or the art
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: of being there for the people that you care about
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: and care about. You don't claim to have somebody as
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: your friend, but you don't have any record of any
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: season that you show up for them. Oh yes, I
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: used to have a very very greedy person as my friend,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: very greedy when we're on campus. One time I went
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: to greety and that's when I knew that I was
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: in trouble. The only thing that it takes me as
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: was I'm firsting. So as I went to his place
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: with first thing, he was cooking rice, and as he
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: heard that somebody was knocking the door, he covered the

• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: that you have done for your friends. Don't expect adverse
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: where you have no sold. Don't expect advest where you
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: have no sold. Are you there to console people when
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: things are bad? Are you there to encourage them? Are
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: you there to hold their hands? Are you there can

  Speaker 3: statement is I don't have even when God says so
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: this I want, I don't have God with me. You
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: know one time where a group of friends living in
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: the same room, we've been broke for a while. To eat,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: it was very difficult, and there was this guy amongst us.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: While I was cleaning the house, I found out that
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: you had a bag of money, not just money, a
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: bag of money, even though it was some currencies, but
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: it was a lot. So he was removing from the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: money and spending. I was watching his every move. One
• 1:11:06

  Speaker 3: moving in his direction, and so I saw him. This
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: is sweer that he was eating, and he was not

  Speaker 3: far from the sweer man as I got close to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: him and he saw me, he pocketed this were it

• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: when you will know the majority of what you call
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: a relationship is because who we're using you. There are
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: only few that will be there for you in the
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: days of trouble. Listen, listen, listen, lend these lessons early,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: streamline your relationships. Check the ones that are working, because
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: you are the only ones I have been seen it.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: Excuse yourself from them. And build something meaningful. You must
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: build with those white interested in building with you. And
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: the way you will know is that they stay with
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: two true ty canteen. Oh yes, true ty canting. People
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: who desired you in the digit are not desirable. Mark them?
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: Is that? Okay? Mark them? Listen. I have a very
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: strong principle. You may not know me. Enlighten nation will
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: never come up public to say we did this, we
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: did that. But anybody who knows me knows that me
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: a man of governance. I respect people's work and words.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: Listen to what I'm saying. People, you see no in
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: the climates of the body of Christ, a generation monster
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: eyes to show that loyalty is rewardable when people are
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: committed to you. One yes back. One of our pastors
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: came to meet me. It was a Part one student,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: Part one student, and he said, God said to follow you, said,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: God said to follow you that when I'm done with school,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: as you follow you. I did not reply. I did
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: not say a word. I had never brought back the conversation.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't say. I didn't say. I just moved on.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: He finished school and he got a job working with
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: an accounting family, and I called him and I said,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: what you said then I used to saying it. He
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: said yes, I said to resign and follow me now.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: And he followed, when God gives you certain men or not,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: their may return. So we may see some of these people.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: They followed me for many years, it's not today. Some
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: of them fourteen years, some of them fifteen years, some
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: of them ten years. We've carried speakers on our head.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: Together with walk miles. We finished services that there was
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: no no The old friend could not even pay for transport.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: Some of them have had accidents because of church assignment.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: We must on our relationships and make sure that no
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: genui service goes on rewarded. Yes, is that okay? Now
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: it's very important a pastor pastor in London church. I
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: startled leading us since he was in secondary school. Secondary school,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: since then and now as a fullgrown woman. There are
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: people that you owe a lot to in life and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: even you too must under God be faithful. Let me
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: tell you something. If you know how to n covenant relationship,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: you're lifting cannot be stopped. I told you a secret.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: You must sit down and know the area that is
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: not your intelligence powering. You know the people for whom
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: God is blessing you. Oh yes, the purpose of money
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: is not for personal advertisement, fulfilled the will of God.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: which leads me to the third one, which is leadership
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: and followership relationship. I have a a young years back.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: I've shared the story I was preaching and God said
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: to me, He said that this is the I wanted
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: to follow this guy and lenn in love from him.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: So I began to follow. That guy was far younger
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: than me, maybe even about eighty years younger than I am.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: And I sighed, following the guy, and who send mestofs
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: and take my stuff? At some point he was staying
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: with me. So one time the guy was down, was
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: down with typhoon and my layer, and I was with
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: him at the hospital, was taking drips. So if omitted,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: and I didn't want the nurses to come and feel embarrassed.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: There was nothing around to pack it, so I got
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: a packer and I packed it with my hands. And
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: I was looking at me and was crying and said
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: to me, past offer me. Are you not iritated? I said,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: you teach me. I can be you teach me. I've
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: been following my spiritual father since the day that when
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: I go to church sometimes I don't have transport a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: tongstro angstro If you see me, have all the access
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: I have across the body of Christ, and said, this
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: man I follow have seen something, have seen something. It
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: is not everything that glittered at his gold. God cannot
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: use people to raise you, and as you begin to shine,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: you despise them. We won't change the narrative. Let me
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: tell you something. Majority of people that see you and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: anno you and your glory will never have watered you
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: in the days who were dry. They will never And
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: the way you know is that there is no one
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: around them that they watered. The only grab doors that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: have been watered somewhere else. Stay committed to your own house.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: The grass is not greener on the other side. I
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: tell you you wants tied. I know these principles. Many
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: times I get on my knees and I say, Lord,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: bless me, this man must not so far we can't
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: be alive. And the appearance some kind of prayer points
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: What about relationship with your parent? Listen and listen good.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: At certain season of your life you can afford to
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: put them on salary. Do it, do it? Go and
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: read the Bible. One of the reasons why I saw
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Whould not killed David was David's covenant relationship with Somewhere
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: after Samwel annoyed them with oil, he did not insteaded
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: the material that life is made up of. Its too fragile.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: It's too fragile. We have a book coming up soon.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: The title of the book is the market called Life.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: It's a very serious book. Anybody who wants to really
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: think about life, understand the way it is made, and
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: how to leave life successful. Is a book to read.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it looks like you will always be here, It
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: looks like things will always be the way there. All
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, what is a bondant becomes cass What
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: is that bondant is now no longer available in the market.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: Treat life well, Be careful, careful. When Saul held the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: garment of Samuel and toy it, it was dishonor. And
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: God saw it and said, the kingdom is tough from
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: your hands. God is too wise. You will not punish
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: him for a mistake. He spoke to the posture of
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: his heart, he said, and Saul proved it. The next
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: time he had any issue with a priest, he wiped
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: out the entire family, even the children, and killed all
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: of them. No, let me tell you something. Make a list.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: Make a list. Who were those that God used to
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: stand for you in the days that you were not
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: like this. I've structure and planned to be a blessing
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: to them. God. Listen, let me tell you this. God
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: will keep you alive to do it. I was not
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: actually praying the ravens that were so that were responsible
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: for the feeding of Elijah. As long as that was
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: their duty. You couldn't kill them. I couldn't kill them.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. The weight of every man
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: is in the secret they know. Mm hmm. Let me
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: leave it there. I have to. I have to leave
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: it there. Amen. But listen, see place, have covenant practices.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: Have govenant practices. Have govenant practices. One of the things
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: that you will find out in life is that the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: day things go bad, you have very few left with you.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: Don't find out too late. Don't find out what's too late.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: Check your life. If something is happening to you, Now,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: how many people do you have that will respond and
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: say no, we have to cover your shame. You cannot
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: go down like this and see, don't just try inspecting
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: with entitlements you too. How many people shame have you covered?
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: It's a very important one. How many people shame have
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: you what covered? Don't expect anything from yourself. Believe you're
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: not investing there. Don't expect it. Be a person that
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: is covenant minded. Be a person that understand the weight
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: of what covenant. Have governant practices. Have a portion of
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: your finance that goes to the Have a portion of
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: your finance that goes to the widow. If you run
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: an organization, find a widow to put on sale. Let's close,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: let's close. Find something to do. Look for people that
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: God is looking for ways to honor and do it.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something I can't tell you a secret.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: Shuld I tell you Go back open the archives in
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: the Body of Christ, you see every year international Minister's
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: conference we bring a further in the body of Christ
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: and not the father Babad that we are noted. Last
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: year was my pastor. We were walking in the village
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: twenty ten and Baba was lamented and he said, I
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: wish I can have he looks to apply this road
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: say I'm still quite active. Then it was about twenty
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: eleven o'clock seventy. So he said that I didn't forget
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: that statement. And every time I will cry to God,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: put these resources in my hands. Let me take away
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: this reproach. The day we gave him the car, the
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: way he cried made me cry. And his son said
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: to me, he said, Babad have been planning to die.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: He say about to have given a reason to leave. Listen,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: the thing that makes great people great is not so
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: much about intelligence. It's about the secret they know. It
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: is those who are the lowest part of the pyramid
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: that knows so much about intelligence. Intelligence is a powerful thing,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: by God's grace. I'm not done, but I've seen the limit.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: I've seen the limit. Go and check any land, any land,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: any land. Check what I'm saying, where there is injustice.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: They don't drive. They don't drive, You don't drive. I've
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: seen things. A son of a bishop and the country
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: was telling me. I said, thank you for the way
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: you are not your spiritual for that, he said, because
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: we have saying things. When a charte blows up, boom,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: people show up. But what if there's an allegation against you?
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: Just think about it. What if the devil ate sons
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: of Billy l and there's a there's a plan to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: bring you down. How many can say it is not
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: so much about what you're expecting, it so much about
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: who you are, because you can listen to this someone
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: and it's about what you're expecting and these people who
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: do who you?
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: Listen and learn. If you're a person of covenant, you
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: become so weighty. Listen, let me teach you something. Pita, come,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: let me have five guys come. Come, Come stand behind
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: him face all of you stand there, or you stand
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: behind him first, you stand behind him. If I come
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: like this and I look at Pita and I push him,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: he's going to fall. Oh yes, you held him, but
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: it's going to fall. But if I have support structures
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: around him and everyone holding him, and they're saying, this
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: man cannot go down, it is on his account. God
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: is lifting us. That we are surviving, that we are
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: being sustained. Lord, everything that I've not been able to enjoy,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: keep him a life for use. You may come and
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: think you are fighting one man. All the angels that
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: want these guys are partnering with him, because the power
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 3: source to people's existence w to him. That is alone.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: Learn to be a man who see is your existence
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: beyond you. If there's any pain I have in life,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: it is the majority of those who follow me don't
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: see what I do. And sometimes I look at them
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: and I said, some things that can be observed does
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: not equire teaching. Who easy? What does he do? What
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: kind of person is he? How does he? We see?
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: Last year Festival of Life, we had people and we
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: did that. This say also we were ordered one of
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: the guys in the choir. That guy came and join us.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: Nobody will think that we'll even think about him. He
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: join us when we're there, and all that. I've never
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: had an headache about him. The first person that came
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: to light nation and say, I want to say, seed
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 3: of a million, I can't forget him. That we have
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: now doesn't mean it should be rubbished. But it's not
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: enough to do good. Have character to sustain you around
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: your advesse. Your aves can be spoken of, but the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: owner of the adverss is gone. See listen, I will
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: not I know God life for you. I just want
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: to tell you the way you understand. I am teaching
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: you from the sincerity and the integrity of my heart.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: I lie not pouring my entire hats to you. I've
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: said things today that I will never say publicly, because
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: I want you to learn. Life is deeper than you think.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: When Pisgelting was going to die, those who stood by
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: him at the last moment and covered this shame but
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: the coughin. I'm showing you the story of the Nadia
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: and George. They're the ones we call fathers today. What
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: is called father in the nation is not by the
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: size of congregation. It's not by the it's not by age.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: It is a divine entrustment, and fathers are known by heart.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: It is easy to be a good song. It is
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: heavy to be a good father. I can tell you
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: I preach in less than I told them that. Many
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: times I hear stories and churches and celebrate things like
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: they fell from the sky. But there were those who
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: powered it from the foundation, many of them as very remembered.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: It is not just flowers. When they die. Let them
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: have something for their tasteboard while they are alive. Have
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: structures for that. Have you been blessed to night? Let's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: give Jesus a big hand. From the depth of my heart,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: I speak these words over this house made The Lord
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: who made the heavens and the heads, give you wisdom
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: to not covenant practices, to keep listen listen. I shared
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: the story as a parable and the person whose story
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: I was here was bach Awadable. I said, the way
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: this man talks about longevity, it is not just about meditation.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: He knows something I sought for. What can I find
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: throughout the night till I saw a video in the morning,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: having stayed awake, praying and satin well, he went to
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: visit the wife of one of his friends. I link
