Open Mentorship Discussion The advantage non Christians may have over Christians · Apostle Lazarus Femi

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We can serve God and feel and then charge all
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your life and not succeed. I've seen many Christians believe
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: that because they serve God in respect acular way to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: finished with flying colors, they had to carryovers and they
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: were still doing many things on campus. It's painful that
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the God you are busy for, let me use the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: word try to get this purpose done, can watch you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to your past. And I think the most painful fact
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is the fact that God is not even obligated to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: talk in the midst of all this. It's just busy
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about this thing. It's the fact that I can call
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: God and God will not say the things he expects
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: me to learn from others. And that brings me to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: one conclusion. God is not going to give you the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: logy of concluding you don't even enough to the point
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that you don't need people, that you don't need, systems
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that you don't need, lessons, that you don't need wisdom.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: If there are aspects in your life that you feel
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I know God too well in this aspect, I don't
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: need to be mentored you feel in those are aspect,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and it's painful. Why can't you your tell us? Why
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: can't you just say all those things, so we can't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: saved saying it, but not to the means.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: We're thinking true people, true schools, true academies, and we
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: despise those things because they don't wear religious colors.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. He has laid down systems. Maybe that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what we need to check. Maybe it doesn't bother saying
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: what someone around is already saying. And it thinks that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in your humility, if truly you want knowledge as you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: want it, yeah, the person. So I don't know whether
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to where about to share is something I'm happy about.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I think I'm happy, but I think the I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my conclusion about what I'm about to share with you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: is that life in its service quite brutal, and this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is the kind of point where it can really ought
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to be a Christian who doesn't know much. I don't
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: know how to put it. So we sent there was
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the class, and we're learning some things. And it wasn't
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a it was a class for something else, secular knowledge
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: as it were then a few minutings with the class,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it was like my life flashed right in front of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: me and I began to see loop all the things
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that could have gotten the right and then I started
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: asking myself, but good, I asked you. Always before making
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: many of these decisions, I checked it with you. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: again that was my assumption, and a typical Christian assumption.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We kind of have this sense of believing that the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: fact that we run everything like God or we call
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: his name, means that definitely is not obligated or is
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: obligated to make sure we never feel. Does He want
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: us to feel? No, is he obligated to make sure
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he does feel? And that's a story for another day.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And this is what I found out about the nature
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of God that sometimes I feel many unbelievers or as
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it were, non Christians, understand that about God and tend
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to have better advantage than many Christians. So if you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: ever wonder the reason why a Christian may be feeling
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and those who doesn't even call his God may not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: feel the same area, and I think this is the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: video that would answer the question. And again I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I do have scarce but the things are about to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: share with you, and maybe it gives you a better
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: advantage not to fail in the area as I feeled.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, the first thing that comes to my
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: mind is the story of Moses. This guy was practically
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: busy doing everything thought Pharaoh got them out, let my
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: people go, got into the wilderness. Was busy about everything,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: counseling from one family to another, getting things, you know
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: this and all that. In other words, he was busy
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with his ministry, saving the purpose of God till Jetro came.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And Jetro was not even one knows a fire. Also,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: God in the Bonny Booze turn the red water to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: read parted the red sea. Jetro didn't seem to have
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all those dynamics to you, just a simple man in Median.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Then Jetro observed all that Moses was doing for God,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and Jetro said something mind blowing. You're going to die.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You continue like this, you will die. I think that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sounds quite offensive for many of us as Christians, that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the God you are busy for, let me use the word,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: try to get this purpose done? Can watch you till
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you crash? Can copy and paste this in school. I've
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: seen many Christians believe that because they serve God in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: expectacular way, they're finished with flying colors. They had to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: carry overs, and they were still doing many things on campus.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's painful. I'm seeing this from very serious Spain. It's painful,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and I think the most painful fact is the fact
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that God is not even obligated to talk in the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: midst of all this. You're just busy about these things
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: because sometimes the Lucian we have sometimes is that I've
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: seen the Red Sea paths, I've conquered Pheroh, I've conquered
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Egypt as a whole civilization. I've seen plague of the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: first one. I've seen God's shop in many ways. Who
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: are you to possibly tell me anything? In fact, Ah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: life is brutal. There are people right now as we
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: speak who are the hope that tomorrow is going to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: be very good. They are going to be doing amazing things.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Things are going to be but they don't even know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that they will die trying. That's painful for me. What
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: are the things? What are the areas that I think
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that God is going to show up? But because there's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: just one thing I'm missing, I mean, never see those
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: manifestations in your lifetime, not because God doesn't want, not
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: because God doesn't care, not because not his interest, because
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I've just missed the simple key and of use are
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: hungry you didn't need because we saw a parent devote
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: everything serving churches, grief died, give first, salaries, give first, everything,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and still didn't do better. Sometimes we clone it or
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we covite in the assumption with the conclusion that God's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: purpose in her life is not to make a life better.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That's a school of thoughts. Some believe that the purpose
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of prayers, of going our life is not because any
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: better in anything, It's just for us to make heaven.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That's an the school of thought. But this is what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I found out. I think school of thoughts are formed
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: oftentimes not out of knowledge that is genuine, but I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think often times because it is the easiest conclusion to make,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: because the human mind doesn't like not reaching a conclusion,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and getting the balance can stress the mind in the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: way way. So what the mind does is that it
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: narrows down on the closest conclusion possible he can arrest.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And I think we've been able to form any conclusions
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: from that that it's not the concern. It's not the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: business of God that the Christians or that someone who
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: calls his name does well in life or not. It's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: not his business. If they fail, he's not his business.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: If they have finance to do the basic things in life.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I will rather think that that would be cruel. And yes,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: my hypothesis, maybe he wants us to do well, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: not in the way that we think God wants us
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to succeed. But He has already established systems that we
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: are apples to get there, and many of those systems
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: were not to wear the regalia of his name. Because
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: God is not just revealed in one way. Even nature
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: talks about his beauty, his essence. Look at the beautiful
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: flowers in the garden, the trees, the arrangement that stars
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the sky, the beautiful mountains, the sea. There's a super
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: intelligence behind the formation of these things, and maybe we
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: can even learn how to function better by just observing
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what he does. Now. As a mentor, one wo mentors
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: people walk from a far at close. I always tell
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: my mentees that the best way to learn from a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: mental is true observation, because there are many things I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: may not have lingual for, but I express to the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: things that I do, and observation is the venue for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you to learn without permission. It means, once you come
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to the place of observation because you're seeing, there's nothing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I can possibly aide from you. I think maybe we
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: read the Bible wrongly, and we read with religious filters
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in the sense that when we look at the way
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: God does things, maybe that's him saying observe me. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of course we see that expressly spelled out when he
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: said come on to me. Really, but my say translation
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: says that work with me, and work with me. What
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: are I doing? And lend the Unford stadim of grace?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe small the biggest wisdom that we can find in God.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It's not just in the things that he said in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the Bible, but the things that he did. Maybe I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: can lead management and learn order and lend structure and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: lend conflict management from Genesis one. Just maybe maybe I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: can lend restoration. I can learn branding, I can learn culture.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: What what on earth did God make that us construct contracts?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And sorry, what on earth did God make? There are
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: contrasting colors. What does it align in this visual? What
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: does it align in this flood? The perfect cycle? There
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: is what the plan does to contribute to humans. There
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is what we do to contribute to the plant. There
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is what the animal does in each cycles to contribute
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: view to each other's existence. When we study everything God
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: himself made, there's no waste there's no waste. Maybe I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: can apply that when I say I'm a man that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: have multiple visions on my table. Maybe sometimes the reason
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: why I feel about way that I've done so much
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is because all the things over my table dot terrelate.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's the side of not being godly enough in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the sense that I'm not observing that God has made
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the biggest endeavor. And sometimes because many Christians read the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Bible from religious filters, there are certain aspects of God
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that those who may be quick to understand it and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: also be quick to take it are those who have
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: not been conditioned by those filters. And the reason why
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he should not assume that because someone doesn't speak in tongues,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: does not called the God in your Bible means that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: or does not sound you know, and where the regalias
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: means that there is something probably knows that you don't know.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: And the assumption that everything that you should know you know.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the reason why you're not even getting any
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: things in the Bible because you can read it apart
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: from the condition that you've been conditioned. Maybe there are
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: more that our filters have only from the perspective to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: which we see everything in the vast world, the beautiful,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: limitless possibilities that we can see God's work and it's wisdom,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and now we probably were not seeing it because being
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: conditioned to just one less and every other thing God
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: intends to say can't be communicated anymore because we've chosen
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to seem just through one less. Again, what I'm sharing
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: with is a very painful reality, the fact that I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: can call God and God will not say the things
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he expects me to learn from others. And that brings
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: me to one conclusion. Nobody will know God enough to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the point that you don't need people. God is not
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: going to give you the luxy of concluding you know
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: even enough to the point that you don't need people.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: He's not going to give you the loxy to conclude
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that you know even to the point enough to the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: point that you don't need systems that you don't need lessons,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that you don't need the wisdom. You will never have
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that luxury in There are aspects in your life that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you feel I know God too well in this aspect,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I don't need to be mentored that I don't need
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to hah. You feel you feel in those aspects, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it's painful. Sorry, I'm searing. It's painful because the assumption
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: we all have about God is the one that the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: moment we know him, it will let me feel, It
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: will let me do all those things it doesn't want
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: us to feel. But maybe sometimes his hands will be
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: tired because you have neglected that one principle that has
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: been put in place to make sure we don't feel
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the beautiful lessons we can learn from ourselves. There are
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: places that have been called to because I'm part of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: their board, and I also observe that there is a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: philosophy at work here that will in that any perspective
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of bringing to the table. And yet the organization is
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: around with impression that they shouldn't fail. Oh, I've spoken
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: in places that I know that they will fail. Yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I saw it coming because in some places I saw
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that they were not enabling the generation that can bring
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: new perspectives. They're trying to put old wine in new
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: wine's skin, and they are dreamed so in Jesus' name.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And that's the assumption again that the movement we call
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: him everything ought to work. It's not true. That's religious conclusion.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can only befew I've said if we
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: have not seen Christians will call him phil and again
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that brings us to another assumption that maybe they're not
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Christian enough. Sometimes they are, but there's just something they missed.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And look at it that, Oh God, every scene can
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: practically go out because of a knowledge I refuse to acquire.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That's wild. And the fact that you will
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: not yet the evidence to say it's wild. How many
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: people are currently walking in the face of the earth
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: right now with the assumption that they will do well,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that they will be fulfilled, they'll be happily married, they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: will have children, they will be able to travel around
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the world, they will be able to live a life
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of freedom. But God also knows it's not true. But
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they're in church. Why can't you your stellas? Why can't
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: he your say all those things? So we can't serve
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: him in bad They be saying it, but not for
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the means. We're thinking.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Two people, true schools, two academies, and we despise those
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: things because they don't wear religious scholars That's the problem.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I remember one time we had an interview and I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: look at my interview and I'm not proud to say this.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I looked at the person I was interviewing when the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: cameras were off and I said to her, you have
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: solution to cancer. Tell me guess what she said. He said,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I have dis supplement that has reversed stage four cancer
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: every time we met it. But we couldn't put that
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: on camera. We did not. We couldn't because our world
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is not ready for it. And my team asks me,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: what was the implication of not putting this out on
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that said people will die. Not proud to say that,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: but that's the way our world works. That's the way
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: our world works, because I understand just gonna argue and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: argue and argue, and there's no point you can even
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: lose everything because you try to help. And because we
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: keep asking how can one place and have solution to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: all the problems and they're not saying is maybe they
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: are And maybe sometimes our track record I have shown that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: what we don't understand where we brand call it Conspiracytory
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: call it all those things, call them lies, refew the people,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: insult them, call them names. Maybe that's the reason we
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: have opera on social media. Someone that's seen a head,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: we've not seen it. We may not see it. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the fact that we think we are religious. People think
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: we think God should always tell us everything. I know
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the child of the widow died of the tsunami who
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: man died in the Bible, and Elia said, God did
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: not tell me. We can't know everything. Stop putting that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: body on yourself because you're religious. I web that night
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: when my team hacks me, people are going to die.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: How many more things that can solve the problem of
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: people I write there online or just won't take because again,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: we always have brands for what we don't understand. Conspiracy story.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy story doesn't mean lies. It is the truth with
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: not being able to place yet oftentimes maybe just it's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: just me. Let me me say that. I can say
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I have so much pain here because I do everything
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm doing in profit, personally and even in other aspects,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: because I think I am one of those who believe
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that we can have a predictable world, the body of
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: knowledge with a predictable result. But I've just seen that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it's not that straightforward. We most put in consideration the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: human factor. Most put in consideration other factors that the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: capacity to make intentions remain as intentions and sometimes they
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: may not ever come to fruition. This is concerning for me.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you. We can serve God and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: feel you can be in charge all your life and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: not to succeed. He has laid down systems. Maybe that's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what we need to check. Maybe it doesn't bother saying
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: what someone around is already saying, and it thinks that
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in your humility, if truly you want knowledge as you
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: want it, ye're the person. And at this point I
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: have to confess that, you know, I really don't believe
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in many of the expresses peop who claim they have
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: that they went to Evan and because the example we
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: had in the Bible, the rich man said that said
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: as I was to come tell his brothers, Jesus said
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: they have people on earth that I should talk to them.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe sometimes we're praying long because we have despised men.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe God doesn't send from ever what is already on
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: earth that they passed from men to men. This is
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: just random many saying me, maybe this will help you
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: as it has helped me. This is what many of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: us have been getting wrong as Christians. That has made
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: us become bad examples, and we are failed to become
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: salt of the earth. First. Maybe I see you some
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: other time.
