  Turn it into a prayer and pray one more time from your heart.

  Open my eyes to see, my ears to hear.
• 0:08
  Pray. Let it be from the depth of your
• 0:10
  heart. Open my heart to understand your
• 0:14
  ways. He made known his ways unto
• 0:19
  Moses. Let it be made known unto me.
• 0:22
  O God, are you praying tonight? Let it be a desperate heart.

  Cry the eyes that see, the ears that hear, the heart that

  gabaratos. Hallelujah, in Jesus name we
• 1:02
  pray, Father, open our eyes indeed that we may see, open our
• 1:09
  ears indeed that we may hear, 'cause our hearts to understand
• 1:15
  your word, cause our hearts to understand your ways.
• 1:20
  We receive your word, we receive transformation.
• 1:24
  We also receive the doing grace the capacity to do the things
• 1:29
  that we'll learn Spirit of God, we grant you unrestrained access
• 1:33
  to our spirits to our minds. We pray that you will prevail
• 1:39
  over us until we are changed tonight.
• 1:42
  Bless us once again. It's in Jesus mighty name.
• 1:45
  We pray God bless you. Good evening everybody.
• 1:48
  Please you may be seated for AS. Long.
• 1:55
  As God grants us life and breath, every week will be for
• 1:59
  you a week of transformation, a week of transformation, and that
• 2:05
  by the power of the word, the Bible says now the Lord is that
• 2:09
  spirit and we are the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.
• 2:14
  It says we all not we some it is everybody's heritage in Christ.
• 2:18
  We all with open face beholding us in a mirror the glory of God.
• 2:24
  It says we are changed metamorphose from one dimension
• 2:28
  of glory to the other. The Lord bless you in Jesus
• 2:33
  mighty name. We pray a quick announcement and
• 2:36
  then we'll get to our discussion for tonight.
• 2:39
  Hallelujah. I told us last week that we'll
• 2:42
  be opening the doors officially for a School of ministry, and
• 2:47
  I'm happy to announce to us that by the grace of God, we're
• 2:51
  already on set for the 2026 set, our Koinonia School of Ministry.
• 3:02
  And shortly I'll be asking the media to just make available the
• 3:07
  page so that we'll give you room to apply.
• 3:10
  We're doing our best now. We have an average of sometimes
• 3:15
  5000 applications for every set, and we're not able to take
• 3:22
  everybody paints my heart. We're walking seriously to
• 3:25
  expand our reach so that we can take as many people.
• 3:29
  And then hopefully God will grant us grace to also at least
• 3:34
  begin to test our specialized versions across several
• 3:37
  territories. God has granted us the mandate
• 3:40
  to disciple nations and we're doing that without compromise.
• 3:44
  And so let's see how many people God will help us to take this
• 3:47
  year. We'll do our best and stretch
• 3:49
  ourselves and see how far. But just to let us know
• 3:53
  officially, media, you're ready with the graphics.
• 3:56
  We're opening up the doors for the 2026 Abuja and Zarya campus.
• 4:03
  Let's give Jesus a big hand clap.
• 4:06
  Hallelujah. So this is the standard
• 4:10
  Koenonial School of Ministry, the six months comprehensive
• 4:13
  program and we still run 2 campuses.
• 4:16
  For now, we're doing Abuja and Zaria.
• 4:19
  Please use the QR code and scan would give priority as much as
• 4:26
  possible. I want us to see how we can
• 4:30
  respond to a more diverse people group.
• 4:33
  So make sure if you are applying from outside of Nigeria, you
• 4:39
  would want to look very closely to all of the details and the
• 4:42
  requirements as far as your accommodation and so on and so
• 4:46
  forth is concerned. But for those of us who are
• 4:50
  domiciled here in Abuja and here in Nigeria particularly and
• 4:54
  perhaps within the African continent, doors are open for
• 4:58
  you fully. We run 2 campuses, one in Zarya
• 5:01
  and then the other here. And so this is it.
• 5:05
  We thank God for it. Father, we decree and declare
• 5:08
  that as many who you have proposed to be part of the 2026
• 5:14
  cohort in the name of Jesus, I pray that you will draw them
• 5:18
  from everywhere in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 5:21
  Let men and women be built through this platform like never
• 5:24
  before. We dedicate the page and we
• 5:27
  decree and declare that it will be on to your glory.
• 5:30
  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
• 5:32
  So there you go. The QR code is there.
• 5:34
  Please make sure you scan quickly and and register now
• 5:38
  that it's open. I don't know how long it will
• 5:40
  stay but I doubt that will stretch beyond a week or Max 2
• 5:44
  weeks. Once we have the quota that is
• 5:47
  is fine to respond to would have to close.
• 5:50
  So please go ahead right away. You are at liberty to do your
• 5:56
  your application and then soon enough, we'll make sure that we
• 6:00
  bring out the admission list so that it can allow those who have
• 6:04
  gotten admission to prepare. We don't want to crash into your
• 6:08
  ear and that's why we're taking the initiative to make this
• 6:10
  earlier so that it can allow particularly those who are
• 6:14
  coming in from diaspora to prepare and plan.
• 6:18
  And even those who are coming from outside of Abuja, at least
• 6:21
  we give you some time to plan so that we don't have people who
• 6:25
  are frustrated in the course of the program.
• 6:28
  If you're excited, give Jesus one more hand clap.
• 6:33
  Hallelujah. This week, beginning, by the
• 6:39
  grace of God, we'll be in Zaria to have our final session and to
• 6:43
  wrap up with Azaria family. Are you happy about that?
• 6:48
  So Zaria, we're with you from Wednesday the 10th and then
• 6:53
  Thursday and then Friday. So invite everyone, all of you
• 6:57
  around and across the North Less Convergence area for a final
• 7:01
  time of encounter as we prepare to wrap up for the year.
• 7:05
  And then by the grace of God, next week, the 14th will be our
• 7:10
  final Koinonia service for 2025. Give Jesus a big hand clap.
• 7:16
  Hallelujah, it will be a Thanksgiving and prophetic
• 7:21
  service. We're going to be rejoicing
• 7:23
  before the Lord, thanking him for January till December,
• 7:27
  thanking Him for the experience of His power.
• 7:30
  And then I'll speak over your life and release you officially
• 7:35
  so that we go on break. For those of you who do not
• 7:37
  know, as a ministry, we have official times when we close for
• 7:41
  the year for over a period of a month.
• 7:44
  This allows our workers and our families to rest.
• 7:47
  Prepare, allows individuals who have their time with God and
• 7:51
  prepare for the year that is coming.
• 7:53
  It's a strategy that God has given us from inception and
• 7:57
  since He's not directed us otherwise, we have maintained it
• 8:01
  and will still maintain it. So 14th will be a final service.
• 8:05
  Of course, when we go on break, most of our other departments,
• 8:11
  particularly the media department, is still alive and
• 8:14
  active. So you'd still be fed with rich
• 8:17
  content that builds your spirit until we resume officially.
• 8:21
  Hallelujah. Are you happy about that?
• 8:24
  The Lord bless you. So next week, invite everyone,
• 8:27
  tell them it's everything combined.
• 8:30
  If you call it a miracle service, you're right, a
• 8:32
  prophetic service, you're right, a Thanksgiving service, you're
• 8:35
  right. Whatever it is, please make sure
• 8:38
  you do the very best. And then it's our culture as a
• 8:41
  ministry that when we are wrapping up, we open up doors
• 8:45
  officially for what we call our end of year sacrifice.
• 8:48
  It's a giving philosophy that God has given us as a family of
• 8:52
  faith. Every year when we're wrapping
• 8:55
  up our final service, we come up with a sacrifice by revelation
• 8:59
  to tell the Lord thank you for his faithfulness, to tell the
• 9:03
  Lord thank you for his goodness over our lives.
• 9:07
  So come prepared, discuss with your wife, your well, you know,
• 9:11
  business, whatever it is so that.
• 9:14
  We'll be able to give. And celebrate the Lord in Jesus
• 9:17
  matchless name. We pray.
• 9:19
  Who is ready for tonight? I made a promise last week and
• 9:24
  I'm here to fulfill it yesterday.
• 9:28
  Last week we in the course of our discussion, the idea of
• 9:34
  finance came up and I promised that would dedicate today to
• 9:42
  teach something that I believe will be a great blessing to us.
• 9:45
  And so that's going to be the thrust of our discussion
• 9:49
  tonight. And like the worship team
• 9:52
  already encouraged us, it's important that you open up your
• 9:57
  eyes to see, your ears to hear, your heart to comprehend, trust
• 10:02
  in the Lord for light. And I'm praying for someone that
• 10:06
  tonight's message will be a gift to your destiny.
• 10:09
  You believe that, say Amen. Freedom from poverty, lack and
• 10:15
  want. Freedom from poverty, lack and
• 10:20
  want It looks like someone is receiving it as a prophecy
• 10:24
  freedom from poverty, lack and want Hallelujah.
• 10:31
  The road map to economic emancipation tonight is a a
• 10:36
  discussion tonight is a responsible Kingdom approach to
• 10:40
  the subject of financial and economic emancipation.
• 10:45
  First from a standpoint of the word and then using proven
• 10:51
  principles that have helped people to ride against the tide
• 10:59
  that has caused many families, nations and territories.
• 11:04
  It's costed them the privilege of living a life of dignity from
• 11:08
  an economic standpoint. And so I want you to really pay
• 11:12
  attention. I believe with all my heart that
• 11:15
  what you are about to hear will contribute in no small way to
• 11:19
  building your or advancing your project towards genuine, lasting
• 11:26
  economic emancipation. The Church, and priesthood for
• 11:31
  that matter, has an extended responsibility to seeing that
• 11:36
  all who are part of God's family live lives of dignity.
• 11:41
  And even from an economic standpoint, our priority remains
• 11:45
  your spiritual growth, your spiritual well-being.
• 11:48
  But the gospel and the faith life is all-encompassing in its
• 11:52
  capacity to bless. And that includes empowering you
• 11:56
  with the keys, proven keys based on the Word and based on
• 12:00
  intelligence that will bring anyone at all from where you are
• 12:06
  economically to a place of nobility, a place of blessing.
• 12:11
  My focus tonight it's not necessarily selling an over
• 12:16
  bloated idea of being millionaires and billionaires,
• 12:20
  even though the truths you are hearing have a track record for
• 12:25
  producing men and taking men from any dimension economically
• 12:30
  to enviable heights. But the goal tonight is rather
• 12:34
  about showing you how to break that ice, that inertia of
• 12:41
  poverty, of luck and want, and to transit you to a point where
• 12:46
  you can find dignity and your life can have color and beauty.
• 12:51
  I am an advocate of economic emancipation as one key to
• 12:56
  living a life of integrity, as one key to living a life of
• 12:59
  dignity, as one key to living a life of responsibility.
• 13:04
  And then, of course, becoming an agent of change.
• 13:07
  And so I've broken our discussion tonight into 5
• 13:10
  sections. Most of my discussion will be in
• 13:15
  summary, and then I'll explain. The goal is to present before
• 13:18
  you. Fact, some of them have been
• 13:20
  presented before. Some of them may be new, some of
• 13:24
  them may be reminders. But all the same, let your heart
• 13:28
  be stayed on learning. Are you ready?
• 13:30
  Tonight I want to show you the road map by the grace of God to
• 13:34
  economic emancipation from a responsible Kingdom approach,
• 13:39
  void of falsehood with guaranteed proven strategies
• 13:44
  that can take anyone from any level to a level where your life
• 13:48
  begins to experience dignity, the dignity of Kingdom
• 13:52
  integrity. The Lord bless us tonight in
• 13:54
  Jesus name. As always, we begin with a few
• 13:56
  portions of Scripture. Psalm 34 and verse 10.
• 14:01
  Blessed be the name of the Lord, Psalm 34 and verse 10.
• 14:04
  And by the way, let me encourage all who are falling online.
• 14:08
  Please let me request that you send the link to someone you
• 14:11
  know who needs this message tonight.
• 14:15
  There are messages that are very critical to our points.
• 14:20
  You know, anybody who is in debt, you know, anybody who's
• 14:23
  going through financial frustration, a person, an
• 14:27
  organization, a family do well to extend this reach to them as
• 14:31
  we begin our discussion. The Lord bless you in Jesus
• 14:33
  name. So Psalm 4034 and verse 10.
• 14:36
  Let's read together. 12GO The Young Lions do lack and suffer
• 14:41
  hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good
• 14:47
  thing. You believe that say Amen.
• 14:49
  Scripture number two. Job chapter 22.
• 14:53
  I'll begin my reading from 21 to 25.
• 14:57
  Job 2221 to 25. Acquaint now thyself with him,
• 15:02
  and be at peace, he says, Thereby good shall come unto
• 15:07
  thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law
• 15:10
  from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. 23 If thou
• 15:15
  shall return to the Almighty, thou shall be built up, and thou
• 15:19
  shalt put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.
• 15:23
  As a result, then thou shalt lay up gold as dust and the gold of
• 15:28
  offer as the stones of the brooks.
• 15:31
  Final verse Yeah, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou
• 15:35
  shall have plenty of silver. May that be your testimony in
• 15:39
  Jesus name. Scripture number three Job 36
• 15:44
  and verse 11. Job chapter 36 and verse 11 One
• 15:50
  verse. Let's read together. 1 to go, If
• 15:53
  they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in
• 15:57
  prosperity and their years in pleasure.
• 16:00
  Two more Scriptures and then I'll begin to teach in Psalm 35
• 16:04
  and verse 27. Psalm chapter 35 and verse 27.
• 16:10
  Let them shout for joy, and be glad that favor my righteous
• 16:15
  course. Yeah, let them say continually,
• 16:18
  let the Lord be magnified, which have pleasure in the prosperity
• 16:24
  of His servant. The final scripture is an anthem
• 16:27
  in this house. Psalm 112124 Blessed is the man
• 16:34
  that feared the Lord, that delighted greatly in his
• 16:38
  commandments. Verse 2 His seed shall be mighty
• 16:42
  upon earth, the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3
• 16:47
  Wealth and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness
• 16:51
  endures forever. And then he says, on to the
• 16:55
  upright. I already said, for let's finish
• 16:58
  it up. He says there arise at light in
• 17:00
  darkness. He is gracious and full of
• 17:03
  compassion and righteous. The Lord bless the reading of
• 17:06
  his word in Jesus, much less name.
• 17:09
  We pray. While preparing for tonight's
• 17:14
  discussion, I took out time to look at a few economic
• 17:18
  statistics, particularly on the poverty rate globally as
• 17:24
  presented by World Health Organization, other
• 17:30
  international organizations, and then of course, as we have it in
• 17:34
  Africa and even in Nigeria, National Bureau for Statistics.
• 17:38
  I don't want to discourage you by reading out some of those
• 17:43
  statistics. And so I decided that perhaps
• 17:45
  I'll just save you the headache and just jump it over.
• 17:49
  But it is very sad to know that a major portion of the world, as
• 17:56
  we know, statistically confirmed, is below what the
• 18:01
  United Health Organization calls the poverty benchmark.
• 18:05
  So I think The Who agree that anyone who lives under one point
• 18:10
  $9 per day is considered to be living under the poverty line.
• 18:17
  One point $9 per day. And that means there are so many
• 18:22
  people who are not even afloat, they are not even drowning.
• 18:26
  They are dead in the middle of the ocean.
• 18:30
  Hallelujah. And tonight that axe head will
• 18:32
  float in Jesus name. I looked at our own statistics
• 18:38
  from the National Bureau for Statistics and I hope I'm right.
• 18:44
  But the latest statistics I was able to gather says over at
• 18:49
  least not less than 40% of Nigerians live under the poverty
• 18:56
  line, the benchmark for various reasons.
• 18:59
  Now, anybody who loves God and any responsible leader, you
• 19:03
  don't have to be a man of God. Anybody who has people under
• 19:07
  your care should be concerned with that kind of result.
• 19:11
  If you have over 40% of the population in a territory under
• 19:17
  the poverty line, you should not ask why crime rates increase.
• 19:21
  You should not ask why there's prevalence of prostitution and
• 19:25
  kidnapping and all kinds of things.
• 19:29
  It's a very concerning situation, and as a responsible
• 19:32
  ministry, we have that mandate to make contributions in
• 19:36
  addition to what the government is doing and all kinds of NGOs
• 19:41
  and institutions. We may not be able to give as
• 19:45
  many aids as the international organization in terms of
• 19:49
  financial support, but at least we can contribute to shaping the
• 19:53
  understanding of God's people so that we can reduce that number.
• 19:57
  And that's the assignment for tonight's discussion.
• 20:01
  So 5 sections, and I'll run them very quickly.
• 20:05
  Hallelujah. The first section has to do with
• 20:08
  foundations and definitions. I want to lay a few foundations
• 20:12
  and then a few definitions and perhaps read definitions.
• 20:16
  It's very important in approaching the subject of
• 20:19
  poverty, lack wealth, abundance, to set a very good foundation
• 20:25
  and to make proper definitions. Because the average person,
• 20:29
  particularly Nigeria and Africa, the problem usually is our
• 20:33
  concept. So when we say things like
• 20:35
  poverty, when we say things like luck, when we say things like
• 20:39
  finances or wealth or riches, it means different things to
• 20:43
  different people. And so that we're not making a
• 20:46
  costly assumption that we all understand the same thing.
• 20:49
  It's important to guide us through a central definition so
• 20:53
  that anytime we mention those words, we understand what we're
• 20:57
  saying. If we are together, say Amen.
• 21:00
  Now, I wrote here that our world is economically driven.
• 21:04
  This is a fact that only a fool will argue with.
• 21:07
  Our world is economically driven.
• 21:12
  The meaning of that is that you will need a certain level of
• 21:17
  abundant financial resources to enjoy a life of dignity and a
• 21:26
  quality life, to be able to fulfill your dreams and goals,
• 21:30
  and then, of course, for a believer, advance the program of
• 21:33
  God. Let me take that again as an
• 21:35
  introduction. Our world is economically
• 21:38
  driven. The meaning of that is that it
• 21:41
  will take a certain level of abundant financial resources to
• 21:47
  #1 enjoy an honorable life #2 fulfill your dreams, your goals,
• 21:55
  your visions, and then for a believer, advance God's program
• 22:00
  on earth. This is a very strong
• 22:02
  introduction. Our world is economically
• 22:05
  driven. You paid for your transport or
• 22:08
  you paid your gas to leave your house and to come here.
• 22:13
  You are going to pay for the meals that you eat.
• 22:16
  You're going to pay for everything.
• 22:18
  Everything is economically driven.
• 22:22
  Running a ministry, Supporting a family, Educating your children.
• 22:26
  Are we together making things happen?
• 22:30
  Going to work and returning back, Building a company,
• 22:33
  Building a business, investing, advancing the gospel, holding
• 22:38
  crusades, paying for medical bills.
• 22:42
  Are we together? Helping to take away people from
• 22:45
  the street? Running an NGO?
• 22:48
  It doesn't matter what area of endeavour you're involved in, it
• 22:52
  will need a certain level of abundant and consistent
• 22:58
  financial resources. Most people, not just in church,
• 23:02
  but most people in society, if you ask them honestly to list
• 23:07
  one favor, one blessing they would need from God, I of course
• 23:11
  some will say your presence, some will say your power.
• 23:14
  But if you tell them from an economic standpoint and they are
• 23:17
  honest enough, they will tell you.
• 23:20
  I mean, if, if doors can open for me financially, it will make
• 23:24
  things easier. And they are right to the degree
• 23:27
  to which financial doors open for you.
• 23:30
  It can fast track and accelerate your life.
• 23:33
  I've had the honor and the pain sometimes of praying for people,
• 23:38
  praying for people who you know, sometimes would tell me they
• 23:43
  just got admission for their masters for their PhD.
• 23:47
  But the limitation is that they do not have enough finance.
• 23:51
  And then they leave it like that until the admission is lost.
• 23:54
  There are many people today, quite honestly, who would not
• 23:58
  have died if the requisite amount, if the financial
• 24:02
  resources were there to take care of them.
• 24:05
  There are people who their families watch them as they
• 24:07
  depleted. They knew that the situation was
• 24:10
  not out of the capacity of doctors to do something about,
• 24:14
  but they did not have the money last year.
• 24:17
  I think it was when we had our doctors, the program we usually
• 24:21
  do, it was largely for women, I think last year.
• 24:24
  And when some of the doctors were giving me the report, I was
• 24:27
  humbled. There were women who were sick,
• 24:29
  carrying all kinds of things they did not even know.
• 24:33
  They just knew. They had all kinds of pains in
• 24:35
  their body. But to have the finances, it's
• 24:37
  only when you've eaten, you'll be thinking of taking care of
• 24:39
  yourself. And this is the kind of world
• 24:41
  that we live in. There are many children today,
• 24:44
  you see, and you know that they had the potential to live a
• 24:48
  nobler life intellectually, but the parents did not have the
• 24:52
  wherewithal to take them to school.
• 24:55
  Sometimes you find a family of 5-6 children because the parents
• 24:58
  are unable to afford it. They just select one person who
• 25:02
  can go to school, whereas the other ones go to learn something
• 25:05
  else. And all those children end up
• 25:07
  being slaves in other people's homes or in other places.
• 25:12
  That cannot be the will of God and it is the responsibility of
• 25:16
  the church as a change institution to help bring people
• 25:22
  into an understanding and, and notice my choice of words.
• 25:26
  I said it is a responsible approach.
• 25:29
  Now I don't want to go ahead of myself, but one of the biggest
• 25:33
  challenges with the church, particularly the Pentecostal
• 25:37
  charismatic church, has been our approach to the subject of
• 25:41
  wealth and abundance. It's largely been incomplete in
• 25:45
  our discussion, and so we have given people all kinds of
• 25:49
  propositions and they have become frustrated with time
• 25:52
  because they are practice what we told them would bring
• 25:54
  abundance, but it's failed to deliver.
• 25:57
  Then on the other hand, we've had people who, in response to
• 26:00
  that supposed deception, have approached the subject of wealth
• 26:04
  and abundance with such disdain and have further complicated the
• 26:08
  economic condition of God's people.
• 26:11
  None of those groups are right. There is a responsible approach
• 26:15
  where you teach people what compliant principles that can
• 26:19
  bring them out of that drowning system of poverty and luck and
• 26:23
  bring them to a point where they live lives of dignity and then
• 26:27
  from there they can now determine how far they want to
• 26:30
  go economically. Are we learning?
• 26:33
  So settle it for a fact that the absence of financial resources
• 26:38
  can and will cripple any life, any destiny, and any vision.
• 26:44
  You may want to write that down. The absence of financial
• 26:48
  resources can and will cripple any life, any destiny, and any
• 26:54
  vision. Colonia Minus gone down
• 26:57
  financial resources will be a failed ministry.
• 27:01
  Even though a ministry called unordained by God, your family
• 27:05
  minus abundant financial resources will produce all kinds
• 27:09
  of crises that may even end up in a divorce.
• 27:12
  It may end up raising impoverished children.
• 27:17
  The absence of financial resources can and will cripple
• 27:20
  any life, any destiny, and any vision, and sadly, ladies and
• 27:25
  gentlemen, it will ultimately cripple the fulfillment of God's
• 27:30
  program on earth. The absence of financial
• 27:35
  resources can and will cripple any life, any destiny and any
• 27:40
  vision, and will ultimately cripple the manifestation or the
• 27:46
  fulfillment of God's program on earth.
• 27:50
  This is a. Very powerful foundation.
• 27:55
  I don't care what you have been taught before now.
• 27:58
  I don't care how sincere or how deceptive the teaching has been.
• 28:02
  Allow me for a moment to propose to you a very responsible road
• 28:06
  map to a life of dignity economically.
• 28:11
  And it is at such times when I'm teaching like this.
• 28:15
  Teachings like this usually profit people even beyond the
• 28:19
  walls and the divides of faith. It doesn't matter whether you're
• 28:23
  a Christian, doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, whether
• 28:26
  you're anything in between. Tonight's teaching has an all
• 28:30
  inclusive implication. Are we together?
• 28:34
  It affects families, institutions, churches, mosques,
• 28:38
  nation building, anything at all.
• 28:41
  And so it's wise for anyone who is really interested to lend his
• 28:45
  attention. Haven't laid that foundation?
• 28:47
  Let's look at a few definitions. It's not my first time defining
• 28:50
  them here, but it's my first time defining it tonight, and so
• 28:54
  I'll do it with the same passion as though I've never done the
• 28:56
  definition before. There are 6 terminologies that I
• 29:00
  want to quickly define that we'll be working with in the
• 29:03
  course of our discussion. Make no costly assumption that
• 29:07
  you understand the definitions. Let's write and let's learn.
• 29:10
  Number one is the word prosperity.
• 29:14
  Very controversial word, especially now.
• 29:16
  The church wall today, the word prosperity for many will be met
• 29:21
  with thorough aggression and anger and resentment because the
• 29:25
  idea that has come from that word is materialism, a marketing
• 29:30
  of self, a marketing of flesh, and then a lot of compromise.
• 29:34
  And to another person, the language prosperity will be like
• 29:38
  the flute that brings out a serpent.
• 29:40
  You know how it happens in Asia where they play the flute and
• 29:44
  then a serpent comes out of a basket?
• 29:46
  That's how that word draws out lusts from people.
• 29:49
  When they hear that word, they become overly excited because
• 29:54
  it's not because they love God or love his program.
• 29:57
  It's just that their lives are pegged at living a life of
• 30:01
  vanity and Vainglory. So let's define the word
• 30:05
  prosperity comes from the word prosper has nothing
• 30:09
  intrinsically to do with money. When you mention the word
• 30:12
  prosperity, again, the church language has corrupted its
• 30:16
  usage. But the word prosperity simply
• 30:20
  means advancement. It means, well, doing.
• 30:23
  It has nothing to do with money. Money is just a tool to help
• 30:28
  achieve that definition. Are we together when we mention
• 30:31
  the word prosperity? So I hear teaching like
• 30:34
  prosperity gospel or prosperity teaching.
• 30:38
  In truth, it doesn't matter what side you stand in.
• 30:41
  It's, it's not, I understand what both sides mean to say, but
• 30:45
  the, the whole idea of prosperity is about
• 30:49
  fruitfulness. It's about advancement.
• 30:52
  It's about doing well. In in the simplest expression,
• 30:56
  to prosper means to do well. That means if you are knowing
• 31:00
  God gradually, incrementally, progressively, you are
• 31:05
  prospering. If your mind is working well,
• 31:08
  you are adopting superior belief systems, making quality
• 31:12
  decisions that are moving you forward, you are prospering if
• 31:15
  you are able to raise a family, take care of your wife, your
• 31:18
  husband, your children. You are prospering if you are
• 31:21
  able to drive your goals and achieve your dreams and your
• 31:24
  visions. You are prospering if you are
• 31:26
  able to accumulate resources financially that helps you to
• 31:30
  meet your needs, you are prospering if you excel in
• 31:33
  building quality networks and relationships.
• 31:36
  You are prospering. It's just that the charismatic
• 31:39
  circle selected the financial aspect and then exaggerated it,
• 31:44
  and now it's become a subject of attack.
• 31:46
  But in the simplest of terms, the word prosperity simply means
• 31:51
  to do well. To do well #2 The second
• 31:56
  definition is the word riches. Rich or riches, again, it's
• 32:01
  another word that brings mixed feelings.
• 32:03
  What does it mean to be rich? It means to have abundant
• 32:07
  financial resources. We're doing our definition with
• 32:11
  respect to economy. There are, there are many other
• 32:15
  angles you can look at riches, but we're giving it its economic
• 32:18
  definition. Riches has to do with having
• 32:22
  abundant financial resources #3 wealth.
• 32:30
  The third definition is a word, wealth.
• 32:33
  So while riches has to do with the presence of abundant
• 32:36
  financial resources, wealth has to do with the presence of
• 32:41
  abundant financial resources plus the time.
• 32:45
  Listen the time and the Peace of Mind.
• 32:50
  And then? The systems that are put in
• 32:53
  place. To multiply and perpetuate the
• 32:58
  resources. I'll take that slowly.
• 33:00
  Financial riches has to do with the presence of resources alone.
• 33:06
  It doesn't matter whether I came by inheritance.
• 33:09
  It doesn't matter whether I came by fraud.
• 33:11
  It doesn't matter whether I came by whatever.
• 33:13
  Once you have abundant financial resources at your reach, you are
• 33:18
  said is said that you are rich. But when?
• 33:20
  We talk of wealth. It goes beyond having abundant
• 33:24
  financial resources. It also means having time.
• 33:28
  It also means having Peace of Mind to be blessed by it.
• 33:32
  But more importantly, it talks of abundant resources plus the
• 33:38
  systems that have been put in place to guarantee
• 33:41
  multiplication and to guarantee sustainability.
• 33:47
  You are not wealthy if you have money alone.
• 33:51
  You are not wealthy if you have financial resources alone.
• 33:55
  You must have systems that are put in place.
• 33:58
  Are we together that guarantee multiplication and guarantee
• 34:03
  sustainability of the financial resources?
• 34:06
  By this definition, you see immediately that there are many
• 34:10
  rich people and few wealthy people.
• 34:12
  A painful example are some of the families we come from.
• 34:16
  Once Upon a time, our fathers, our mothers, our elder ones had
• 34:20
  a bond, financial resources. They had money in their account,
• 34:24
  they had whatever it is, But because they did not have the
• 34:27
  intelligence to build systems, to multiply and to bring
• 34:32
  sustainability, Is the word replenish one of the greatest
• 34:37
  financial secrets? It's not the ability to be
• 34:39
  fruitful, it's the ability to replenish.
• 34:42
  Once you do not have the capacity and the system to
• 34:46
  replenish, you are not wealthy. Is this a deliverance for
• 34:51
  someone already? Yeah, because for the average
• 34:55
  person, our mind is stayed on just the arrival of financial
• 34:59
  resources. And there are many ways that can
• 35:01
  come. The leverage of inheritance is
• 35:03
  salary that is coming in, and that's wonderful.
• 35:06
  But to be wealthy, you need the presence of abundant financial
• 35:10
  resources and then the systems put in place that guarantee
• 35:16
  multiplication, that guarantees sustainability, sustainability.
• 35:22
  And then of course, you have time and then you have Peace of
• 35:26
  Mind. If you do not have these things,
• 35:29
  you are not wealthy. Next definition that would be #4
• 35:35
  the 4th definition is Kingdom wealth.
• 35:38
  Now Kingdom wealth and wealth are not the same.
• 35:44
  We are Kingdom people and so I want to give us that extended
• 35:47
  definition. So one prosperity we defined it
• 35:50
  2 riches, 3 wealth, 4 Kingdom wealth.
• 35:54
  What is the difference between Kingdom wealth and wealth?
• 35:57
  Is the word Kingdom Kingdom, Kingdom?
• 36:01
  Every other definition of wealth stands true for Kingdom wealth,
• 36:05
  except that in addition to just accumulating money and having
• 36:10
  systems, there is purpose that is connected to it, and that
• 36:14
  purpose is the furtherance of the program of God.
• 36:18
  That is the difference. There are three elements that
• 36:23
  make wealth to become Kingdom wealth.
• 36:26
  Ultimately, it is purpose. What separates wealth from
• 36:29
  Kingdom wealth is the purpose for which you are raising it.
• 36:32
  I don't want to start frustrating you by talking to
• 36:35
  you that in our world today there are many wealthy people,
• 36:39
  but the assignments connected to the various monies they have are
• 36:42
  not the same. A terrorist group has wealth,
• 36:45
  but that wealth is not Kingdom wealth.
• 36:47
  It is directed towards an agenda.
• 36:49
  Am I right on that? Kingdom wealth has to do with
• 36:55
  abundant financial resources, systems for its multiplication
• 37:00
  and sustainability. But then it is directed towards
• 37:03
  the furtherance of the Kingdom. It is directed towards Kingdom.
• 37:08
  Come essentially very subtle difference, but very powerful 1
• 37:13
  so someone can be wealthy. As far as his work on earth is
• 37:17
  concerned, he would not suffer lack economically, but that
• 37:21
  person may be irrelevant from a spiritual standpoint and from a
• 37:24
  Kingdom standpoint because his resources and the businesses and
• 37:29
  whatever it is that he has. Is not promoting God's interest
• 37:33
  when your wealth. No matter how dexterous from an
• 37:37
  economic standpoint, when it fails to serve the purposes of
• 37:40
  the Kingdom, it cannot be called Kingdom wealth.
• 37:43
  Now believers are not just called to be wealthy, we're
• 37:46
  called to have Kingdom wealth. What gives value to your being
• 37:52
  blessed financially is that Kingdom orientation.
• 37:56
  If you're learning so far, shout aloud.
• 37:58
  Believe in Amen. Definition #5 very quickly is
• 38:02
  the word luck LACK? Let's define luck quickly.
• 38:06
  What does it mean to be in luck? The first portion of Scripture
• 38:10
  we read said even though the Young Lions, that's Psalm 34 and
• 38:14
  verse 10, it says the Young Lions do luck.
• 38:19
  And I've seen that this Scripture is not lying.
• 38:22
  I've watched Natural Wild and I've seen times where lions,
• 38:26
  even though they are the king of the jungle, they get hungry for
• 38:29
  days. They watch their cops roaming
• 38:31
  around and sometimes they can you see them hungry, I mean
• 38:35
  literally drained just hoping and praying that they can have a
• 38:39
  deer or a gazelle or something. Just has them and sometimes they
• 38:44
  are fortunate to find a herd of those gazelles and they just
• 38:48
  trap any small one and they eat and allow their children eat.
• 38:51
  I have watched videos of lions that died literally as a result
• 38:55
  of hunger even though the king of the jungle.
• 38:58
  So the Bible is not lying when he says the lions do luck and
• 39:02
  suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any
• 39:07
  good thing. Let's define luck.
• 39:08
  Luck refers to insufficiency, insufficiency largely of
• 39:15
  financial resources. It's not limited to financial
• 39:19
  resources, but insufficiency largely of financial resources.
• 39:24
  You can have a lack of ideas, you can have a lack of
• 39:27
  relationships. But let's zoom into the issue of
• 39:30
  finances. So lack here talks about
• 39:32
  insufficiency of financial resources to meet your needs,
• 39:40
  insufficiency of financial resources to meet your needs.
• 39:43
  So you're not in total poverty, but you are always struggling.
• 39:47
  And there are many people who are like this.
• 39:49
  You can't particularly say they are poor, but they are always in
• 39:54
  luck. It's always not enough.
• 39:56
  It always does not add up. The child's school fees is
• 40:00
  100,500 thousand. They have 20,000.
• 40:04
  You can't say they are particularly poor, at least
• 40:07
  there's something there, but they are in a state of
• 40:09
  insufficiency. Hallelujah if you say to pay the
• 40:13
  child's school fees one time. They're going to have a problem.
• 40:17
  You will need to create a system for them.
• 40:19
  Because they are in luck. In the name of Jesus, I pray for
• 40:22
  you from my heart, that my God, the one who has helped many and
• 40:27
  is helping you tonight, by the power that raised Christ from
• 40:31
  the dead, may he take you out of the realm of luck.
• 40:36
  Please be seated. Hallelujah.
• 40:39
  Luck. And one so luck talks about a
• 40:42
  state of insufficiency, financial insufficiency.
• 40:47
  You are not on 0, but you are not to the point that can help
• 40:51
  meet your need. And let me tell you, it's a very
• 40:53
  frustrating state to be in, a state of luck because you can be
• 40:58
  a visionary person, you know how easy your goals can be achieved,
• 41:03
  but simply because you do not have the financial wherewithal
• 41:06
  to push through. They have watched this happen.
• 41:08
  For instance, students who want to do their postgraduates, maybe
• 41:12
  the school fees can be $30,000 or £30,000.
• 41:16
  And they will tell you Apostle have been able to save 5000.
• 41:19
  Look how frustrating it is. You have something, but it's not
• 41:22
  enough to solve the problem. And because you do not have
• 41:25
  enough, you will lose out everything.
• 41:26
  What of a medical bill? OK, to do a surgery they need
• 41:30
  say 1,000,000, you have 300,000, that's all you have.
• 41:34
  And because you don't have enough, the person literally
• 41:37
  dies in your presence because you cannot go further.
• 41:40
  I bind the spirit of luck in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 41:46
  Another example, how about taking your children to good?
• 41:49
  Schools. You can take a child to a good
• 41:51
  school, very quality school, giving them a good start in
• 41:54
  life, but they said the school fees is XYZ.
• 41:57
  And then you know that investing that much in your child will
• 42:02
  literally change the destiny of that child for good.
• 42:05
  But simply because the amount is beyond your capacity.
• 42:08
  Can you imagine not that the child is dull, not that the
• 42:11
  child is not intelligent. Simply for financial reasons,
• 42:15
  the destiny of a child can be reduced, divided.
• 42:19
  And that child will make do with whatever institution is
• 42:22
  available at the end of it. You compare the child with his
• 42:25
  or her contemporaries. I was thinking earlier today if
• 42:31
  you have a child that is from 9 years and below 9 years and 0.
• 42:37
  Are we together from the ones who are still coming from the
• 42:41
  realm of the Spirit until nine years?
• 42:43
  Pray for that child. You know why I'm saying that?
• 42:46
  The wall those children are going to live in.
• 42:49
  Will be very different. A time will come where two young
• 42:53
  children cannot relate with one another.
• 42:55
  Again, the reality of augmented reality, Internet of Things, AI,
• 43:00
  those who are privileged will be light.
• 43:02
  Yes, it will be like aliens from another planet that two young
• 43:06
  people will not be able to converse because their realities
• 43:10
  will be different. This has nothing to do with a
• 43:13
  billionaire and a poor person. Just a slight economic edge will
• 43:18
  create such a diverse difference.
• 43:20
  Take my word for it, a time will come when certain children who
• 43:27
  are supposedly under privilege, they will have to break maybe
• 43:31
  wyek into various things because it will become unfair for
• 43:34
  children for both families to write the exams.
• 43:37
  They will not even know the tools they should use to write
• 43:40
  the exams. There are children today who
• 43:43
  cannot even use a laptop, so they don't just feel jammed
• 43:47
  because they are dull. Is that they will take 30
• 43:50
  minutes figuring what to do. They don't even know how to
• 43:54
  switch this, to put that, and before you know it, they are
• 43:56
  under tension, they are disoriented and they fail.
• 44:00
  How about certain jobs, certain interviews, computer based
• 44:06
  interviews and you find a child, sit down and for 30 minutes he
• 44:10
  honestly does not know what to do.
• 44:11
  It's not his fault, it's not a thief.
• 44:13
  He did not come from a family that afforded that kind of
• 44:16
  possibility. Again, I pray for you.
• 44:19
  If you really love your children and you love the best thing,
• 44:21
  this is beyond you now. Only selfish people will be
• 44:25
  thinking about themselves. I told you, once you are aged 30
• 44:29
  and above, you have passed the period of thinking about your
• 44:32
  life alone. Whether you feel like you are
• 44:34
  still a child or not, once you attend age 30 and above, it is
• 44:39
  selfish and foolish to live your life thinking about yourself
• 44:43
  alone. The days of thinking about your
• 44:45
  life alone is over once you get to 30.
• 44:51
  I bind the spirit of insufficiency.
• 44:56
  Hallelujah. Please sit down.
• 44:58
  One time we had one of our gentlemen in this ministry.
• 45:02
  Something happened. I think he was he.
• 45:04
  I think he was going home or so. Was it an accident or it was an
• 45:08
  attack, maybe some hoodlums or an accident.
• 45:11
  I can't remember what happened. My attention was called and they
• 45:14
  said, look, you are losing one of your people.
• 45:16
  I think he broke his femur, some kind of serious situation.
• 45:21
  I'm trying to recall to think about the story very well.
• 45:24
  That gentleman was bleeding to death and the only place the
• 45:28
  hospital that could attend to him, he was expensive.
• 45:31
  I called, they said this guy is dying.
• 45:33
  I told the medical people's security.
• 45:35
  I said it doesn't matter. Take that person, let him not
• 45:38
  die. Take that person, let them do
• 45:40
  the surgery. They had to move him immediately
• 45:43
  and go and do a delicate surgery.
• 45:45
  Today, by the grace of God, he's here alive.
• 45:51
  Hallelujah. He would have died.
• 45:54
  And then we carry all kinds of short talk and say, was God that
• 45:58
  planned it? No Sir, no Sir, no Sir.
• 46:02
  There are many cries who should not have cried.
• 46:05
  There are many funerals that were unnecessary.
• 46:07
  The realm of the Spirit is shocked that it happened.
• 46:10
  It was not part of the plan. There are many children today
• 46:16
  with the destinies of Joseph that will never emerge because
• 46:19
  the preparation of Joseph. They could not have many with
• 46:22
  the destinies of Moses, but they could not go through.
• 46:25
  The pre is the preparation of Moses that produces the destiny
• 46:29
  of Moses. You can have the prophecy of
• 46:32
  Moses. If you cannot afford the
• 46:35
  preparation of Moses, you will not manifest that destiny while
• 46:41
  speaking beyond tea and bread. Here we're talking about
• 46:45
  salvaging the destiny of those before you and those after you.
• 46:50
  Some of you right now. Do you know I said it last time
• 46:53
  and listen carefully. There are some of you right now.
• 46:57
  Do you know even though you are 3040 fifty, an uncomfortable
• 47:03
  truth I want to tell you is that you have not yet started living
• 47:06
  your life. You are still solving the
• 47:08
  problems of those, the families where you came from.
• 47:10
  I hope you know that maybe it is when you get to 55, then you now
• 47:16
  realize that I have to start living my life now.
• 47:19
  I pray for you all in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 47:22
  May this teaching tonight be the ladder that liberates you.
• 47:29
  Please sit down. I've had the honor of talking
• 47:31
  with many people from people who are involved in things they
• 47:35
  should not be involved in. And sometimes when you speak to
• 47:38
  them, you will be surprised at the pressure that is on the
• 47:42
  average young man or the average young woman.
• 47:45
  There's one uncle there. There's one auntie there.
• 47:48
  All of them did not have the privilege of going to school.
• 47:50
  By the time you graduate in Africa, you see that joy that
• 47:54
  many people rejoice with you. They are not just rejoicing
• 47:57
  because you are finished. They are hoping to rest through
• 47:59
  you, whether you like it or not. Look at the testimony of one of
• 48:04
  our dear workers who gave yesterday at the workers
• 48:06
  meeting. She said her younger brother
• 48:08
  right from school. This is a young lady starting
• 48:10
  her life. He was believing that he will
• 48:12
  move her abroad. Is the lady a thief?
• 48:17
  And then worst of when sickness now comes.
• 48:20
  When your parents are sick in old age, no matter what savings
• 48:25
  you will liquidate it and take care of them.
• 48:27
  Am I right on that you can save 5,000,010 million?
• 48:31
  I wouldn't sit down and hear that my father or my mother is
• 48:34
  sick and not treat them. I will give the best of
• 48:36
  anything. While you are doing it you will
• 48:38
  not realize the damage is causing your finances because
• 48:41
  you want them to survive. They tell you your loved 1 needs
• 48:44
  a kidney transplant. It doesn't matter 10 million
• 48:47
  twenty 3040 sell anything, get into debt.
• 48:52
  It is when they finally pass on you.
• 48:54
  Now find out you have two problems. 1 is the burial #2 is
• 48:58
  to face the fire that has been created.
• 49:01
  Again I pray for you in the name that is above all names.
• 49:05
  May God use you to fulfill the prophecy of emancipation that is
• 49:10
  upon your family. Please be seated.
• 49:14
  Please be seated. Tonight's discussion is a
• 49:16
  serious discussion. It's not for irresponsible
• 49:20
  people. Tonight's teaching is not for
• 49:22
  Yahoo money mongers. We're not talking childishness
• 49:25
  here. We're talking of issues that
• 49:27
  have a destiny implication. Destiny implication, luck.
• 49:38
  I've seen what it can do. One day woman sent me a text and
• 49:43
  said apostle every morning that I had, I was able to pay a small
• 49:48
  rent to it. But right now this woman told me
• 49:51
  and I know I I asked them to investigate it and I found I was
• 49:54
  not a lie. She boiled warm water and that's
• 49:57
  what she gave her children to take and sleep in Abuja here,
• 50:02
  warm water, you know what it means to put water on kettle in
• 50:06
  the kettle, warm it a little because the children were
• 50:09
  crying. Now how does that child
• 50:12
  concentrate in school? Even if the school fees is free,
• 50:16
  the child will be weak, the child will be sleeping, the mind
• 50:19
  will be underdeveloped. And then one day someone calls
• 50:23
  that child and say can I give you a gun or I will give you
• 50:27
  100,000 kill someone. What do you think will be the
• 50:30
  child's answer? Luck.
• 50:37
  It's a state of insufficiency. Let's define poverty first.
• 50:43
  I reject it for you in Jesus name.
• 50:47
  Then let's define it now. What is poverty?
• 50:52
  Person, my God bless you. Good to see you.
• 50:54
  Thank you. Poverty.
• 50:56
  Hallelujah. Let's define poverty.
• 50:59
  Poverty is a state of no or insufficient financial
• 51:06
  resources. A state of 0 or insufficient
• 51:12
  financial resources largely cost by lack of productivity.
• 51:20
  A state of no or limited financial resources, largely
• 51:28
  caused by the absence of productivity.
• 51:32
  A state of no or limited financial resources largely
• 51:38
  cost. Not entirely cost, like you'll
• 51:40
  be learning, but largely caused by the absence of productivity.
• 51:45
  Take note of that definition. Most times when we say poverty,
• 51:49
  we focus on 0 or limited financial resources, but we do
• 51:54
  not look into the course that largely poverty is a function of
• 51:59
  the bankruptcy or the absence of productivity.
• 52:02
  It is not the only reason, but it's a major part of the reasons
• 52:10
  you have that down poverty is the absence of or caused by no
• 52:23
  or limited financial resources. That is largely caused by lack
• 52:30
  of productivity. Now very quickly in the Kingdom,
• 52:34
  why does God bless us? Let me just rush this so that we
• 52:37
  get the introduction out of the way.
• 52:39
  Why does God bless us in the Kingdom?
• 52:41
  3 reasons I've given you time and again.
• 52:43
  Let me give it to you again. There are largely 3 reasons why
• 52:48
  believers are blessed in the Kingdom.
• 52:49
  Listen to me if you do not understand this reason, your
• 52:54
  pursuit for wealth and abundance will destroy you.
• 52:58
  What makes financial freedom, economic emancipation, a
• 53:03
  blessing to you is not just the availability of the resources,
• 53:08
  but the understanding as to why you have it.
• 53:11
  Doctor Miles Monroe, I referred to him again, would say when the
• 53:14
  purpose of a thing is not known, he says the abuse of it is
• 53:18
  inevitable. I've seen young people even in
• 53:22
  this nation, I've seen people spend riotously, recklessly.
• 53:27
  And that is largely because they were given access, maybe through
• 53:30
  the leverage of relationships, to abundant financial resources
• 53:34
  with no purpose connected to it. And since they have a lot of
• 53:38
  money and they do not understand why God blesses in the Kingdom,
• 53:41
  they live a riotous life, a lavish life, until they get into
• 53:45
  trouble. Hallelujah, number one.
• 53:52
  The first reason why we are blessed in the Kingdom is for
• 53:55
  our comfort, our comfort. God is all for your comfort.
• 54:01
  There are times in the Kingdom where we have to sacrifice for
• 54:04
  the sake of the name of the Lord, where we have to bend over
• 54:08
  backwards. But that's not your default
• 54:10
  state. It is God's desire for you and I
• 54:14
  to live lives of comfort, lives of dignity #2 why does God bless
• 54:21
  us in the Kingdom to advance the program of God is called Kingdom
• 54:26
  advance to advance God's end time agenda, the agenda of world
• 54:31
  evangelization, the agenda of discipleship, the agenda of
• 54:37
  territorial transformation the second reason why God.
• 54:41
  Blesses us in the Kingdom. One for your comfort #2 to
• 54:46
  empower you so that you can advance this program #3 to
• 54:52
  reveal God's love to a dying world in a practical and a
• 54:56
  definite way. The third reason why God blesses
• 54:59
  us in the Kingdom. This is where charity comes.
• 55:02
  This is where sending rain on the godly and ungodly comes to
• 55:08
  reveal God's love to a dying world in a practical and a
• 55:13
  definite way. You don't just say you're a
• 55:16
  Christian by praying in tongues. You don't just say you're a
• 55:19
  Christian by falling under the anointing.
• 55:23
  You don't just say you're a Christian by quoting verses.
• 55:26
  The Bible tells us through religion.
• 55:28
  And undefiled is this, to care for the poor and the needy.
• 55:32
  Many times in scripture the Bible says he that gives to the
• 55:35
  poor lends to the Lord. There is a responsibility
• 55:39
  component to Christianity that involves expressing the love and
• 55:43
  the benevolence of Jesus to a dying world.
• 55:47
  Beyond the walls of religion, beyond the walls of race,
• 55:51
  whatever it is. 3 reasons your comfort Kingdom advance and to
• 55:57
  empower you so that you'll become a blessing to our world.
• 56:03
  I've tested a bit of this and I'm deeply honored that God has
• 56:07
  granted me the privilege to be the reason for the joy and the
• 56:11
  smiles of people. There are people today who wake
• 56:14
  up in the morning because God has granted us a privilege to
• 56:18
  shelter them. There are people who eat today.
• 56:21
  There are children who have the privilege of eating today, who
• 56:26
  have a number of our children, at least two or three
• 56:28
  thereabouts who had thrown somewhere.
• 56:30
  The mothers threw them and left them there.
• 56:32
  We just found out that there's an abandoned child that was
• 56:35
  thrown somewhere. And some of those children today
• 56:37
  are 5-6 years. Wonderful.
• 56:40
  At least were able to give those children home.
• 56:44
  Hallelujah. I have a gift in my house.
• 56:48
  It came from the inmates in the Zarya prison, lovely people.
• 56:51
  Every time we reach out to them and we're able to bless them,
• 56:55
  Christmas, Salah, we just do something.
• 56:57
  We have a good relationship with the controller and the people
• 57:00
  there and it is a joy to watch the smiles of those people.
• 57:04
  I remember one time when they brought to my attention, they
• 57:06
  said, listen, for years we've been in this place.
• 57:09
  There's no borehole. We have to go out as prisoners
• 57:12
  to go and source for water. If you can do this for us today,
• 57:15
  by the message of God, that issue had had long ended.
• 57:19
  We've been able to do some of those things.
• 57:21
  Let me tell you the truth. Giving is living.
• 57:24
  There is only so much you can eat.
• 57:25
  There is only so much you can wear.
• 57:28
  Are we together? Yes, almost every two, two or
• 57:32
  three, three weeks, when I have the opportunity to see people,
• 57:35
  there's someone standing either with chicken or beans.
• 57:38
  The last one was beans, part of our graduates from the CSS
• 57:43
  training we did. Was it last year or year before
• 57:45
  last? And he brought the harvest of
• 57:47
  his beans, one chicken, 1 poultry, Turkey, and they say
• 57:52
  apostle, thank you. This is what I've been able to
• 57:54
  do from the training and the grants that were given.
• 57:57
  Let me tell you the truth, when you are empowered, you can be a
• 58:01
  blessing. You can be a blessing.
• 58:04
  Many people are not greedy, they are just poor.
• 58:07
  They want to give, but the wherewithal is not there.
• 58:11
  From today, God will empower you.
• 58:14
  Some of you, God will empower you.
• 58:16
  You will go to your village and say, give me the list of all the
• 58:20
  children who want to go to school but are incapacitated.
• 58:23
  I'm saying that as a prophecy for you.
• 58:26
  Some of you will go back to your school, your alma mater, and
• 58:30
  literally renovate. Not one classroom renovates the
• 58:33
  whole school again. Some of you will even build
• 58:36
  schools and put the teachers on quality payroll for the rest of
• 58:41
  their lives. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 58:45
  the Lord. Now very quickly, the second
• 58:50
  section, how Kingdom finances work, I hope you are learning
• 58:53
  already. I want to give you a few
• 58:58
  thoughts. This is working on your mind now
• 59:02
  how Kingdom finances work. The starting point for every
• 59:08
  financial journey is to have a certain body of knowledge as far
• 59:17
  as finances are concerned. When you want to really begin
• 59:21
  the journey to wealth and abundance in a responsible
• 59:25
  Kingdom way, there are a number of things you need to know.
• 59:28
  I'll list them for you very quickly.
• 59:29
  Number one, that it is the will of God for you to do well
• 59:35
  financially, economically. Please write that down.
• 59:39
  It's important to have this body of knowledge and grafted in your
• 59:43
  spirit. It is the will of God for you to
• 59:46
  do well economically. It is the will of God for you to
• 59:50
  do well financially. I've listed a number of
• 59:53
  scriptures for you. I wouldn't go back there.
• 59:56
  Say it is the will of God. Shout it like your professor and
• 1:00:00
  say it is the will of God for me.
• 1:00:03
  To prosper economically, to do well financially, you must
• 1:00:10
  believe that. You must believe that you will
• 1:00:14
  never truly be emancipated economically using the Kingdom's
• 1:00:19
  formula. If you fail to believe, that is
• 1:00:22
  the will of God. I'm not just talking about a
• 1:00:27
  blind, childish, loss driven advocacy of money from a
• 1:00:33
  standpoint of incomplete teaching.
• 1:00:36
  I will never believe for as long as I live that God is glorified.
• 1:00:41
  When I'm poor or insufficient. I'm intelligent enough, even if
• 1:00:45
  I'm not spiritual. I'm intelligent enough by the
• 1:00:48
  masses of God to see the havoc that lack and poverty can bring.
• 1:00:53
  Even if I were not a Christian, I will not choose the path of
• 1:00:56
  poverty. It does not bless in any way. 2
• 1:01:03
  The second mentality I'm showing you how Kingdom finances work,
• 1:01:08
  the orientation you must have. Can I give you #2 #2 that
• 1:01:15
  prospering economically or prospering financially is one of
• 1:01:20
  the blessings that come with loving and serving Jesus?
• 1:01:25
  Or please believe that prospering financially,
• 1:01:30
  prospering economically is one of the blessings that come with
• 1:01:36
  loving and serving Jesus. Now, you don't serve Jesus
• 1:01:42
  because of money. You don't serve Jesus because of
• 1:01:45
  things. But I'm telling you that
• 1:01:48
  prospering financially is part of the packages that come with
• 1:01:53
  the life of God. Job 36 and verse 11.
• 1:01:59
  If they obey and serve him. If they obey and serve him,
• 1:02:04
  let's work together, media, they shall spend their days in
• 1:02:08
  prosperity and their years in pleasure.
• 1:02:12
  You must believe that doing well economically, whilst that is not
• 1:02:18
  the basis of your loving Jesus, while that is not the basis of
• 1:02:23
  your seeking Jesus, that it is one of the fringe benefits that
• 1:02:29
  comes with loving and serving Jesus.
• 1:02:32
  Psalm one O 3 Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within
• 1:02:37
  me. Bless his holy name.
• 1:02:38
  Verse 2 Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not his benefits.
• 1:02:44
  There are benefits #1 forgiveness #2 healing #3
• 1:02:52
  deliverance and redemption #4 favor, honor, and exaltation #5
• 1:03:01
  who satisfies your mouth with good things?
• 1:03:07
  Is someone learning now? You must believe that prospering
• 1:03:11
  financially is one of the blessings that come with loving
• 1:03:15
  and serving Jesus. Whether it comes or not, it does
• 1:03:20
  not affect your loving Jesus, but where it is available,
• 1:03:23
  there's no need to reject it. If I come to your house, I've
• 1:03:26
  always given this example. If I come to your house, I don't
• 1:03:30
  come to eat or to drink. But because you are a
• 1:03:33
  responsible person, while doing the major discussion that
• 1:03:36
  brought us there, there's usually a refreshment to keep
• 1:03:39
  for me. Am I right?
• 1:03:40
  And I receive it with gratitude. I go to preach sometimes.
• 1:03:45
  And while my passion is to serve Jesus, many times when I'm done
• 1:03:48
  and I'm leaving, they put a little basket.
• 1:03:51
  Sometimes they put little seeds to say thank you, Sir, for
• 1:03:53
  coming. That's not my reason for going.
• 1:03:56
  But when they bring all those baskets, I receive it with joy.
• 1:03:59
  I receive it with honor. I receive it with gratitude.
• 1:04:03
  Benefits #3 The third orientation that you must have.
• 1:04:11
  Are you ready? Now?
• 1:04:13
  I've said this before. I want to repeat it very well so
• 1:04:16
  that you can hear. Please listen before you write.
• 1:04:20
  You can have abundant financial resources without knowing God
• 1:04:26
  and without loving God, but the peace and fulfillment that is
• 1:04:31
  connected to it will never be yours until you have a
• 1:04:34
  relationship with Jesus. Is someone learning now?
• 1:04:37
  The idea that you need God to have financial resources come to
• 1:04:42
  you is not necessarily accurate. There are many people who are
• 1:04:47
  financially buoyant today. Some of them are even vocal.
• 1:04:52
  I'll give you an example. There are terrorist groups that
• 1:04:55
  have money. It takes a lot of money to
• 1:04:57
  oppress that wise. They don't love Jesus.
• 1:05:00
  They don't even love the dignity of human living, for instance.
• 1:05:03
  Are we together? However, they have the economic
• 1:05:06
  empowerment. You can have abundant financial
• 1:05:11
  resources without knowing or loving the Lord, but the peace
• 1:05:16
  and fulfillment that comes with it only comes from knowing
• 1:05:20
  Jesus. That's a guarantee.
• 1:05:22
  I can tell you there are many, many wealthy people who have
• 1:05:26
  committed suicide. So it's not a financial thing.
• 1:05:30
  There are many, many people today, with all due respect,
• 1:05:34
  billionaires, millionaires in hospitals that will give up
• 1:05:37
  anything to find health. That's the reason why it is
• 1:05:44
  dangerous for financial prosperity to be the primary
• 1:05:49
  basis for bringing people to Jesus.
• 1:05:51
  You're going to destroy them. You can't bring people to Jesus
• 1:05:55
  simply because of economic benefits.
• 1:05:58
  They will not be strong Christians.
• 1:06:00
  However, it's important to also be sincere and responsible to
• 1:06:05
  teach them that these blessings come with working with the Lord,
• 1:06:09
  but that you can have abundant financial resources.
• 1:06:12
  Listen, listen, look up, please. Many times we tell people if you
• 1:06:17
  don't love God, you will go down financially.
• 1:06:21
  So they are threatened and they are sad.
• 1:06:23
  They say, Lord, I love you. Since they now said I'll be poor
• 1:06:26
  without you. The day they now have the money,
• 1:06:28
  they say, God, I don't need you again.
• 1:06:30
  Thank you for becoming such a beautiful ladder.
• 1:06:32
  I claimed you for many years. Now that I'm there, you can go
• 1:06:35
  places. Where that poisonous behavior
• 1:06:39
  comes from is the orientation that you need Jesus.
• 1:06:43
  Without Jesus you will not have money.
• 1:06:45
  You can have money without Jesus, the same way you breathe
• 1:06:48
  in oxygen without Jesus, the same way a farmer farms and
• 1:06:52
  reaps even though he does not love Jesus.
• 1:06:54
  But the difference between being wealthy God's way and loving
• 1:06:58
  Jesus is that there is peace and fulfillment.
• 1:07:01
  He said peace. I give unto you my peace.
• 1:07:05
  Refer to my teaching. What seekest thou, son?
• 1:07:08
  All teaching. I preach it three or four years
• 1:07:10
  ago. What seekest thou say?
• 1:07:12
  Very powerful teaching no matter what you have, my greatest
• 1:07:18
  definition of success and prosperity is not material
• 1:07:22
  acquisitions is peace. If you don't have peace,
• 1:07:26
  eventually you will be frustrated.
• 1:07:32
  You can have abundant financial resources without knowing or
• 1:07:35
  loving the Lord, but the peace and fulfillment that comes with
• 1:07:38
  it only comes from knowing God. Very quickly #4 Are you ready?
• 1:07:45
  I've given you this before. I'm repeating it because it's
• 1:07:48
  important for you to have it at the back of your mind.
• 1:07:51
  Wealth and abundance in the Kingdom is not a function of
• 1:07:55
  luck and sentiments. Wealth and abundance in the
• 1:08:00
  Kingdom is not a function of luck and sentiments, but a
• 1:08:06
  function of laws, a function of principles.
• 1:08:11
  Please write that down. Wealth and abundance in the
• 1:08:15
  Kingdom is not a function of luck and sentiments.
• 1:08:19
  The moment you approach wealth and abundance in the Kingdom
• 1:08:22
  becomes superstitious, living all the responsibility, for
• 1:08:25
  instance, to God, then you are already in trouble.
• 1:08:28
  You are following the path of deception.
• 1:08:31
  It is not a function of luck and sentiments, but laws,
• 1:08:38
  principles, human factors like relationships and then of course
• 1:08:44
  divine empowerment. So 4 things if you want to be
• 1:08:48
  welding the Kingdom. It is not a function of luck and
• 1:08:51
  sentiments, but of principles, laws, human factors, and divine
• 1:08:58
  empowerment. Or meet any of these four and
• 1:09:01
  you will have trouble eventually.
• 1:09:03
  You omit laws, you omit principles, you will get into
• 1:09:06
  trouble. Sometimes laws and principles
• 1:09:08
  can be in place. You omit human factors, you'll
• 1:09:12
  be in trouble. Sometimes all three can be in
• 1:09:14
  place. You, you omit divine
• 1:09:16
  empowerment, you will still be in trouble.
• 1:09:18
  So it's, it's, it's a synergy of laws, principles, human or
• 1:09:24
  relational factors. And then spiritual empowerment.
• 1:09:29
  If you are learning, say Amen. Can I give you #5 I said this
• 1:09:39
  one time, I think when we're doing Jehovah Jireh or
• 1:09:41
  thereabouts, and allow me repeat it again, God does not decide
• 1:09:46
  who becomes wealthy or who remains poor.
• 1:09:50
  God does not decide who becomes wealthy or who remains poor.
• 1:09:56
  He sets before you the platform and it is up to you to use the
• 1:10:01
  power of knowledge and decisions to determine your portion.
• 1:10:06
  God does not decide who becomes wealthy or becomes poor.
• 1:10:12
  Now there are times that the hand of God can be against a
• 1:10:15
  man. There are times the hand of God
• 1:10:17
  can be for a man, but ultimately it is not God who decides who
• 1:10:22
  becomes wealthy or who becomes poor.
• 1:10:25
  Africa, listen to me. Nigeria, listen to me.
• 1:10:28
  The narrative that it is God who has just chosen to make this
• 1:10:32
  person blessed and then this person poor is the reason why
• 1:10:37
  Satan can slip through that thinking and keep us perpetually
• 1:10:41
  poor. God does not decide who becomes
• 1:10:44
  wealthy or who becomes poor. He sets a level playing ground
• 1:10:48
  with His Word and makes the system of advantage available
• 1:10:52
  for all those who know how to engage it.
• 1:10:54
  But ultimately, becoming wealthy or becoming poor is a function
• 1:11:00
  of your understanding, your decisions, your choices, and
• 1:11:04
  your actions. I was liberated when I
• 1:11:08
  understood that right from the time I could not afford what I
• 1:11:12
  needed, God was still on the throne and He was still in my
• 1:11:15
  life as Savior. The day they almost locked us
• 1:11:23
  off because we could not pay the money for crusade ground, Jesus
• 1:11:27
  was still in my heart. He didn't suddenly enter when
• 1:11:32
  everything was over. The idea that it is God who will
• 1:11:38
  decide whether you will prosper or not is not a wise decision.
• 1:11:43
  God does not decide whether your children will go to good schools
• 1:11:47
  or they will go to a terrible school.
• 1:11:49
  That is a matter of your choices and your decisions.
• 1:11:52
  You see when you know that it does not remove God from the
• 1:11:55
  equation of your success, but it helps you to know which part of
• 1:11:58
  the wheels to hold and drive your destiny responsibly.
• 1:12:02
  Are we together? I said before you, I wouldn't
• 1:12:07
  choose for you. I said before you, I call on
• 1:12:10
  heaven this day to record this against you that I said before
• 1:12:14
  you. Who is doing the setting?
• 1:12:16
  God, I said before you, life and death.
• 1:12:20
  I said before you, blessing and cursing.
• 1:12:23
  Here's my advice. Choose life that you and your
• 1:12:27
  seed may leave. But if for any reason you decide
• 1:12:30
  to choose death, I will still respect it.
• 1:12:34
  Someone say I choose life. Say it again.
• 1:12:37
  Say I choose life like you're serious.
• 1:12:39
  Say I choose life. Number six.
• 1:12:43
  The final thought. And we go to the third section.
• 1:12:47
  Kingdom wealth is not just about becoming a millionaire or a
• 1:12:55
  billionaire. When we teach Kingdom wealth,
• 1:12:59
  it's not just about becoming a millionaire or a billionaire.
• 1:13:03
  That's not the idea, even though that is profitable.
• 1:13:07
  It is about having financial resources that can meet your
• 1:13:11
  need, help you fulfill your assignment and be a blessing to
• 1:13:19
  your world. When we talk about Kingdom
• 1:13:22
  wealth, the advocacy for wealth abundance and financial
• 1:13:27
  blessings in the Kingdom is not so much about becoming a multi
• 1:13:33
  millionaire or becoming a billionaire.
• 1:13:35
  Get the idea? It's not so much about becoming
• 1:13:41
  a multi millionaire or a billionaire.
• 1:13:43
  If your assignment requires that, then say Johnny, are we
• 1:13:46
  together? It is about having financial
• 1:13:51
  resources that help you to meet your needs, empower you to
• 1:13:57
  fulfill your God-given assignment, and to become a
• 1:14:01
  blessing to your world to make a difference in your world.
• 1:14:05
  That's what we're discussing here.
• 1:14:09
  If that means you've been a billionaire, then go for it.
• 1:14:13
  If that means you've been a multi millionaire, then go for
• 1:14:17
  it. For the blind advocacy of
• 1:14:22
  chasing money until you get to the billion realm or until you
• 1:14:26
  get to the multi million realm with no purpose, no assignment
• 1:14:30
  to it, will eventually frustrate you.
• 1:14:34
  For the believer, when we talk about economic emancipation, I'm
• 1:14:38
  telling you the whole goal is not about becoming a multi
• 1:14:42
  millionaire or a billionaire. I'm not saying that is wrong,
• 1:14:48
  but I'm saying the whole idea is not about becoming a multi
• 1:14:51
  millionaire or a billionaire. It is about having sufficient
• 1:14:55
  financial resources to number one, help you meet your needs.
• 1:14:59
  Are we together? Fulfill your God-given
• 1:15:02
  assignment and then make a difference the best as you can
• 1:15:06
  to your world. Now a last recap on something
• 1:15:13
  that I said again one time in this place, and that's the third
• 1:15:17
  section. I'm trying to hurry up because
• 1:15:19
  there's a place I want us to rest and do a little discussion.
• 1:15:26
  Both poverty and abundance. Both poverty and abundance have
• 1:15:37
  tripartite expressions. If you were here when I taught
• 1:15:41
  you Jehovah Jireh, then you are about to hear this again.
• 1:15:43
  Both poverty and abundance have a threefold A tripartite
• 1:15:50
  manifestation. You will never truly deal with
• 1:15:54
  poverty if you deal with it just from one dimension.
• 1:15:57
  There is a tripartite manifestation, and for you to be
• 1:16:01
  completely free from poverty, you must approach it from all of
• 1:16:05
  those dimensions. There is a spiritual dimension
• 1:16:09
  to dealing with poverty. There is a spirit of poverty.
• 1:16:14
  There is a mental or cycle ecological dimension to dealing
• 1:16:19
  with poverty. There is the mentality that
• 1:16:22
  produces poverty. Are we learning now and then?
• 1:16:25
  There is a physical or economic dimension to poverty, Lack of
• 1:16:30
  productivity, laziness, impatience.
• 1:16:34
  Are we together? So in trying to deal with the
• 1:16:37
  subject of poverty, we have people approaching it from any
• 1:16:40
  of these three. That's why they do not get
• 1:16:42
  wholesome results. The Pentecostal charismatics
• 1:16:47
  again, my lovely people, we bind and cast the spirit of poverty.
• 1:16:52
  And there is a real spirit of poverty.
• 1:16:54
  But the spirit has left since. And if it had his way, he would
• 1:16:58
  say, but I left now. I left already miracle service
• 1:17:03
  January, I left. You are still blaming me.
• 1:17:05
  Now in November I'm gone. Because when a spirit leaves a
• 1:17:12
  man, are we together? The thought that attracted that
• 1:17:16
  spirit must also leave the man. If not, that man is truly not
• 1:17:20
  free. So when you are dealing with
• 1:17:22
  poverty, you are dealing with the spirit, the mindset and the
• 1:17:27
  economic principles. Are we together?
• 1:17:34
  I wish that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ can learn.
• 1:17:37
  This is the reason why our teachings look incomplete and
• 1:17:40
  does not produce wholesome victory.
• 1:17:42
  In the name of Jesus, I bind the spirit of poverty, and the
• 1:17:46
  people say Amen. And the spirit hears that
• 1:17:48
  command and it leaves. But there is a mindset.
• 1:17:51
  There is a software. That's the reason why the spirit
• 1:17:55
  lives in a hurry, because it knows you'll still not be free.
• 1:17:59
  It's deposited something within you and then it leaves.
• 1:18:04
  And then there is a mindset. I'll give you a bit of the
• 1:18:06
  mindset. Entitlement, greed, laziness.
• 1:18:09
  These are mindsets. It's a mindset that will keep
• 1:18:12
  anyone poor. Even if you change Satan and
• 1:18:15
  keep him forever, there are people who will not be
• 1:18:17
  economically emancipated because they do not understand that it
• 1:18:21
  takes a tripartite approach to dealing with poverty.
• 1:18:25
  There is the spirit you cast it. There is the mindset you
• 1:18:29
  recalibrate your belief system. And that's what I'm teaching you
• 1:18:32
  right now. Are we together?
• 1:18:34
  Some of the things I have told you now are ideas that I'm
• 1:18:37
  selling to you, and these ideas will bring you victory.
• 1:18:41
  It will bring you emancipation. So you need to go to someone and
• 1:18:44
  tell the person honestly that that spirit has left.
• 1:18:48
  But there is a thinking an entitled person will always
• 1:18:51
  remain poor. Even if you give that person 1
• 1:18:54
  billion, it will go away. A lazy person.
• 1:18:57
  You see, whether it is God you are going to serve or Satan you
• 1:19:01
  will serve. None of them will tolerate
• 1:19:02
  laziness. I've told you, if you choose to
• 1:19:05
  serve Satan, if you choose to serve Jesus, one thing for sure
• 1:19:09
  is that none of them will tolerate laziness.
• 1:19:12
  Corruption is a mindset. Lack of integrity is a mindset.
• 1:19:17
  Deception is a mindset. Manipulation is a mindset.
• 1:19:21
  These mindsets can be empowered by spirits, but whether or not
• 1:19:25
  the spirits are there, the possessor of such a mindset.
• 1:19:29
  Listen to my message in Ghana. These signs shall follow them
• 1:19:32
  that believe. There are always signs that
• 1:19:34
  follow your believing. Poverty is a sign.
• 1:19:38
  Luck is a sign. Failure is a sign.
• 1:19:41
  Limitation is a sign. Frustration is a sign.
• 1:19:44
  It does not follow you. It follows your believing
• 1:19:47
  because you are the possessor of that belief system.
• 1:19:50
  It looks like it is following you.
• 1:19:52
  It does not even know you. The signs follow the possessor
• 1:19:56
  of that belief system. A hustler mentality is a kind of
• 1:20:01
  mentality, a loser's mentality in fact, that attracts certain
• 1:20:05
  kinds of signs. Is someone learning now?
• 1:20:11
  There are many, many people. Giving them money is like
• 1:20:15
  pouring water in a basket. Their mindset cannot retain it.
• 1:20:19
  Waste is a mindset. Riotous living is a mindset.
• 1:20:23
  Spending more than you earn is a mindset.
• 1:20:26
  The appetite for a fake life is a mindset.
• 1:20:30
  Majoring on minors and minoring on majors is a mindset.
• 1:20:37
  Carelessly giving birth without planning is a mindset.
• 1:20:44
  Oh yeah, it's a mindset. Stealing is a mindset.
• 1:21:02
  Becoming addicted to borrowing is a mindset.
• 1:21:07
  There are people today earning three or five times the money.
• 1:21:12
  Are we together? They are three or five times
• 1:21:15
  wealthier than those they borrow from.
• 1:21:18
  A senior executive can be borrowing from entry level
• 1:21:21
  staff. Please can you help me?
• 1:21:24
  And they are wondering, Sir, but are you, they say, well, just
• 1:21:26
  borrow me. I can't discuss with you what?
• 1:21:28
  There are many things around my life.
• 1:21:30
  There are people like that. I have seen people who are
• 1:21:33
  genius staff, not to insult, but they have built their houses,
• 1:21:38
  even 2 houses, even 3 houses, and their senior executives who
• 1:21:42
  were already at a managerial level before those guys were
• 1:21:45
  employed. They do not have houses.
• 1:21:47
  They retire, with all due respect, and there's no house.
• 1:21:50
  There are politicians who lived in 1,000,000 billions, flew
• 1:21:54
  private jets, priority living around the world, but they
• 1:21:57
  finish their tenure or lose election.
• 1:21:59
  That's when they realize I have no house.
• 1:22:04
  I was living in a hotel paying for a thousands of dollars for
• 1:22:08
  eight years, seven years priority living mindsets.
• 1:22:16
  Can I tell you the truth? If your mindset locks the key of
• 1:22:20
  your destiny, that destiny remains locked.
• 1:22:23
  If your mindset opens a key, your destiny, that destiny is
• 1:22:27
  open. And then the behaviors.
• 1:22:32
  Do you see that now? Teaching financial principles to
• 1:22:36
  someone who does not believe it. Teaching financial principles to
• 1:22:40
  a lazy person, Teaching financial principles to someone
• 1:22:43
  who is waiting for God to do everything will prove to be a
• 1:22:46
  waste of your time because there is an intrinsic software that
• 1:22:50
  will make the person to shout, preach, preacher, but never be
• 1:22:53
  able to take any step. You're my glory, the lifter up
• 1:23:02
  of my head. You're my glory, You're the
• 1:23:07
  lifter up of my head. You're my glory, the lifter up
• 1:23:14
  of my head. Now, like I've taught you, just
• 1:23:19
  like poverty, abundance is also tripartite.
• 1:23:24
  There is the power to get wealth.
• 1:23:27
  There is the mentality that brings wealth.
• 1:23:31
  Are we together? And then there are the actions,
• 1:23:35
  economic actions, productivity actions that bring wealth.
• 1:23:40
  If you want to be wealthy, you must respect these three, these
• 1:23:44
  tripartite dimensions. There is the spirit, the
• 1:23:47
  spiritual component to wealth and abundance.
• 1:23:51
  And don't let anyone tell you there are people who don't love
• 1:23:54
  God. They may not love God, but for
• 1:23:57
  sure there are spirits assisting them.
• 1:23:59
  I can tell you that for free in the world of wealth, in the
• 1:24:04
  world of real wealth beyond a certain threshold, it's
• 1:24:08
  impossible to Johnny Depp alone. There must be a spirit that has
• 1:24:12
  assists you either through your fraternity with occult groups.
• 1:24:16
  Are we together, your fraternity with all kinds of demonic groups
• 1:24:20
  or Satan deceiving you into believing you are God of your
• 1:24:23
  own self and then inspiring you while you give him loyalty in
• 1:24:27
  returns? You see that there is always a
• 1:24:30
  spirit component to wealth. Always go and ask all the native
• 1:24:34
  doctors and the rest, people who come, I want to be rich, say
• 1:24:38
  slaughter chicken, do this, do that.
• 1:24:40
  And for some of those guys, you see some of these Yahoo boys,
• 1:24:43
  some of them confess, I did this, I sacrificed this, I did
• 1:24:47
  this. And truly you will see a
• 1:24:49
  semblance of the wealth with them, but there's no peace.
• 1:24:52
  Eventually they will be caught. What you will see that there was
• 1:24:54
  a similarity of results. There is a spiritual component
• 1:24:58
  to wealth #2 there is a mentality that brings wealth and
• 1:25:02
  abundance, dignity, patience, discipline, integrity, the law
• 1:25:10
  of process. All of this together are
• 1:25:13
  mentalities that bring people to the realm of wealth and
• 1:25:16
  abundance. And then of course, there is a
• 1:25:18
  physical or economic dimension, your products, your services,
• 1:25:23
  understanding investments, understanding every other thing
• 1:25:26
  in between. But it's very, very important.
• 1:25:29
  There is the spirit component, the power to get well.
• 1:25:32
  There is a mindset or mindsets that lead to wealth and
• 1:25:35
  abundance. And then there are economic
• 1:25:38
  actions that you take that lead to wealth and abundance.
• 1:25:42
  Now, very quickly, Section 4, what are the factors responsible
• 1:25:49
  for poverty, please studies, I want to list it for you.
• 1:25:54
  Anywhere you see poverty at an individual level and at a
• 1:25:59
  national level. The factors I'm going to give
• 1:26:02
  you now, some of them are responsible for individual
• 1:26:05
  poverty, but some of them are responsible for the poverty of
• 1:26:09
  nations, of regions and territories.
• 1:26:12
  So we are approaching that discussion from both a micro and
• 1:26:16
  a macro level. At a macro level, there are
• 1:26:18
  factors that make nations and regions poor.
• 1:26:22
  At individual levels, there are factors that make individuals
• 1:26:25
  poor. I want to list them and run
• 1:26:27
  through the list. Are you ready?
• 1:26:28
  Pray in the Spirit for one minute and then I'll list for
• 1:26:31
  you these factors very, very quickly.
• 1:26:33
  Make sure you are praying in the Spirit.
• 1:26:35
  Thank you Lord Jesus, blessed are your ears for the hear these
• 1:26:38
  things. Simalantos Sabraka, those
• 1:26:44
  following online, make sure you are praying in the Spirit.
• 1:26:48
  God is about to give you answers and solutions right now as to
• 1:26:51
  why you may have prayed, as to why you may have fasted, but it
• 1:26:55
  seems that the doors of abundance are not opening for
• 1:26:59
  you, not opening for your organization, not opening for
• 1:27:02
  your nation, not opening for your church.
• 1:27:04
  A pastor is about to learn something right now as to why
• 1:27:08
  there's you're perpetually in lack and insufficiency even
• 1:27:12
  though you have the call of God upon your life.
• 1:27:14
  A father is about to learn right now why in spite of the fact
• 1:27:18
  that you are a man of integrity, financial doors don't seem to
• 1:27:22
  open for you. In Jesus name we pray.
• 1:27:28
  Look at me ladies and gentlemen, as haphazard as poverty looks,
• 1:27:34
  there is a science to it. There is an explanation, an
• 1:27:41
  explanation with prophetic precision as to why individuals
• 1:27:46
  become and remain poor. And I want to run the list for
• 1:27:50
  you. Number one, the first reason or
• 1:27:54
  the first factor responsible for poverty.
• 1:27:57
  Please write it both in your heart and on your notes.
• 1:28:00
  Ignorance or incomplete knowledge of God's economic
• 1:28:08
  system. Ignorance or incomplete
• 1:28:13
  knowledge of God's economic system or financial system.
• 1:28:21
  The first reason why people are poor, they are ignorant or they
• 1:28:26
  have incomplete knowledge of God's economic system or God's
• 1:28:31
  financial system. You can extend this definition
• 1:28:36
  to also mean lack of education and financial literacy.
• 1:28:42
  Generally speaking, it's a knowledge thing.
• 1:28:46
  Lack ignorance or lack of complete knowledge, The
• 1:28:51
  knowledge of God's financial system.
• 1:28:54
  But generally speaking, it also extends to lack of education and
• 1:28:59
  financial literacy. We'll talk a bit about that
• 1:29:02
  later on. I'm just listening for now.
• 1:29:05
  So the first reason why people fail is a knowledge problem or
• 1:29:08
  an incomplete knowledge problem #2 the absence of skill or value
• 1:29:16
  that is needed and useful. Second reason, Proverbs 18 and
• 1:29:21
  16 says the gift of a man make room, makes room for him and
• 1:29:28
  brings him before great men. If that man is not gifted, not
• 1:29:32
  skilled, not valuable, he will not come before great men.
• 1:29:36
  The lack, the absence of value, the absence of skill that is
• 1:29:42
  needed and useful on the line needed on the line, useful.
• 1:29:47
  Don't tell me you are valuable. Don't tell me you are skillful.
• 1:29:51
  And let me tell you this off hand.
• 1:29:53
  The easiest way to be valuable is to be educated.
• 1:29:58
  The easiest way to be valuable in our world today is to be
• 1:30:03
  educated. I mean standard education as you
• 1:30:06
  know it. But then any other kind of
• 1:30:10
  education. The easiest way to be valuable
• 1:30:13
  to this world is to be educated. Either your standard secular
• 1:30:17
  education. Are we together?
• 1:30:20
  The person who is educated will most likely most likely has a
• 1:30:26
  higher chance of economic emancipation than one who's
• 1:30:31
  never seen the world of any school whatsoever.
• 1:30:34
  And education there extends to other meanings #1 the ability to
• 1:30:39
  read and write #2 the ability to communicate.
• 1:30:42
  Look at me. Do you know that there are many
• 1:30:45
  good jobs today in our world today, if you are monolingual,
• 1:30:49
  you're already in trouble. Did you know that the minimum is
• 1:30:53
  to at least be bilingual? The highest that I've seen is 10
• 1:30:57
  languages. I know somebody who speaks 10
• 1:31:00
  languages fluently. It gives you the leverage.
• 1:31:04
  You can get a job anywhere at all.
• 1:31:06
  There are people in this nation who can speak English fluently,
• 1:31:10
  Hausa fluently, Yoruba fluently, IBO fluently.
• 1:31:14
  For a case study. Did you know that those people
• 1:31:17
  are already at a vantage position?
• 1:31:19
  Because anywhere at all you can give them a job, you can promote
• 1:31:24
  them to go to the east, the West, the north, the South.
• 1:31:28
  They have that leverage in many schools right now, even schools
• 1:31:33
  abroad. They teach the children to be
• 1:31:35
  bilingual and it's become a great, a great advantage.
• 1:31:38
  There are people today who have lost jobs not because of
• 1:31:41
  incompetence. They cannot speak French.
• 1:31:44
  I remember one time we went to Cote d'Ivoire, My wonderful
• 1:31:47
  friend went to preach for him and when I got there, I just
• 1:31:50
  said, Father, I cannot speak French.
• 1:31:53
  I know you know, but I'm saying I'm saying it to you.
• 1:31:55
  I, I still need Jesus to be preached.
• 1:31:58
  I need miracles, signs and wonders.
• 1:32:00
  It was amazing what God did. But I thought to myself, I said,
• 1:32:03
  you see this, Imagine if I took French seriously.
• 1:32:10
  It's someone learning. Now there are people who speak
• 1:32:13
  Spanish. There are people who speak all
• 1:32:14
  kinds of things. Wonderful.
• 1:32:17
  We have lots of people that are PR desk here, I mean who speak a
• 1:32:21
  number of languages. And sometimes when I'm
• 1:32:23
  counseling people, especially at Francophone brothers and
• 1:32:26
  sisters, I just call them quickly and I tell them be at
• 1:32:28
  liberty, speak whatever it is you can speak.
• 1:32:32
  I am just when I say education, it does not just mean knowledge
• 1:32:36
  along a particular field. Are we together your the
• 1:32:39
  summation of your quantitative reasoning.
• 1:32:42
  So education has 5 levels at least.
• 1:32:45
  There is the ability to read and write, that's the foundational
• 1:32:48
  level #2 there's the ability to reason and proffer solution.
• 1:32:53
  It's called quantitative reasoning.
• 1:32:55
  The ability to be intuitive. That's why they give you
• 1:32:58
  examples and they give you class work.
• 1:33:00
  Then there's the ability to communicate ideas intelligently.
• 1:33:04
  Then there is the knowledge along your field of endeavour.
• 1:33:07
  These are different layers of education.
• 1:33:10
  So many people say I am educated, but being monolingual,
• 1:33:13
  for instance, that's already a deficiency for you.
• 1:33:18
  Not knowing how to be intuitive, how to birth solutions, is
• 1:33:22
  already a deficiency for you. But I'm saying generally that
• 1:33:27
  the first reason why people are poor is that they do not have
• 1:33:34
  complete knowledge or they are completely ignorant.
• 1:33:37
  And then the absence of value and skill that is needed and
• 1:33:41
  useful. Let me give you #3 #3 very
• 1:33:43
  quickly, lack of productivity and excellence.
• 1:33:49
  And I remember Doctor David Guelli shared a bit of it during
• 1:33:52
  the convention. He spoke about provision moving
• 1:33:54
  from provision to productivity. If you recall the third reason.
• 1:33:58
  And this effects people both at a micro and a macro level.
• 1:34:04
  Nigeria has lots of mineral resources.
• 1:34:07
  Nigeria has lots of agricultural resources.
• 1:34:11
  But not to sell my nation short. I love my nation, but there are
• 1:34:15
  so many things. I believe that there's a lot
• 1:34:17
  being done, but a lot more can be done.
• 1:34:21
  Are we together? It's amazing how many African
• 1:34:23
  nations, they produce the raw materials agriculturally or in
• 1:34:27
  terms of minerals and because we don't have capacity to deliver
• 1:34:31
  finished products. Are we together?
• 1:34:33
  There are people who come and buy it for next to nothing.
• 1:34:36
  They go and process it, package it, make it the end product, and
• 1:34:41
  then they sell it back to you at a price that is high and then
• 1:34:46
  you have to buy because it's it's, they have placed value on
• 1:34:50
  it and it's increased the value. Once you are not productive and
• 1:34:55
  you are not excellent. If you do not know how to turn
• 1:34:59
  raw materials or raw ideas into processed or finished versions
• 1:35:06
  of themselves, you will be poor. You will be poor.
• 1:35:10
  How many of you know, I hope I'm right on that.
• 1:35:14
  Over 70% of the food we eat in Nigeria comes from the villages
• 1:35:19
  and yet there's poverty in the villages.
• 1:35:21
  Why is that? So the major farms are not in
• 1:35:24
  the city, they are in the villages, the countryside.
• 1:35:27
  And yet we get those things here because they do not have the
• 1:35:31
  capacity to preserve. Are we together?
• 1:35:34
  They sell the raw things like that and then we process it and
• 1:35:38
  the shop just near the farm, he is buying something that came
• 1:35:42
  from the same farm. Productivity is powerful.
• 1:35:46
  The art of turning things from their raw form, their raw
• 1:35:50
  version, to its finished product.
• 1:35:57
  Imagine if I came and stood before you here and just started
• 1:36:00
  humming it. Ozanaye, Ozanaye.
• 1:36:07
  And then I just sang and said God gave it to me.
• 1:36:09
  That's wonderful. But once it's not been turned to
• 1:36:13
  the finished product, it affects how we can bless.
• 1:36:17
  Are we together now? Now there is an official video
• 1:36:20
  for it. There is an official audio for
• 1:36:22
  it. Are we together anywhere
• 1:36:25
  globally? The credit will be given to the
• 1:36:27
  people. And it was not done for
• 1:36:29
  financial gains. But even if it was for financial
• 1:36:32
  gains, at least I found something I can eat with.
• 1:36:37
  Are we together? If I want financial gains from
• 1:36:43
  it all, I just need to get promoters and say, look, here is
• 1:36:46
  something, here it is blessing people, but it's still spiritual
• 1:36:49
  intellectual property. Once there is no production,
• 1:36:55
  there will always be poverty. Once there is no production,
• 1:36:59
  there will be poverty. I know you farm cassava, I know
• 1:37:04
  you farm rice. I know you farm Millet.
• 1:37:07
  I know you farm cocoa, provided it is locked up somewhere at the
• 1:37:11
  back of your house, rottening there, and then people come with
• 1:37:14
  trucks and buy it for next to nothing.
• 1:37:17
  The reason why many African nations are sitting on wealth
• 1:37:22
  but cannot produce anything with it and cannot generate wealth
• 1:37:26
  from it is because we are largely a consumer society.
• 1:37:30
  We are not a production nation. But I know things are changing.
• 1:37:33
  In the name of Jesus, shout aloud, believe in Amen #4.
• 1:37:40
  The fourth reason for poverty, The absence of strategic
• 1:37:44
  networks and relationships. John 57.
• 1:37:48
  The absence of strategic networks and relationships.
• 1:37:53
  The imported man answered him, him being Jesus, and said, Sir,
• 1:37:57
  I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me in the pool.
• 1:38:03
  But while I am coming, another person who has a man to help him
• 1:38:07
  steps in and takes advantage of it.
• 1:38:11
  Building wealth and abundance in the Kingdom is not just a
• 1:38:15
  function of ideas. It's also a function of
• 1:38:18
  strategic networks. Say networks say relationships.
• 1:38:23
  Say networks say relationships. Again say networks say
• 1:38:28
  relationships. Very powerful, the leverage of
• 1:38:32
  strategic networks, networking with like minded people, like
• 1:38:37
  minded groups, like minded agencies, like minded
• 1:38:41
  associations, it can provide a leverage for you.
• 1:38:45
  A solo life is a way of poverty, that's for sure.
• 1:38:49
  The world is built on interdependence, both
• 1:38:52
  spiritually and economically. The absence of strategic
• 1:38:59
  networks and relationships #5 lack of spiritual empowerment.
• 1:39:06
  Deuteronomy 818. The fifth reason why many people
• 1:39:10
  are poor. Sometimes they are honestly hard
• 1:39:13
  working, sometimes they are honestly diligent, but they have
• 1:39:17
  an over dependence on their mind and intellect.
• 1:39:20
  And I can tell you I've seen all too many people in my lifetime.
• 1:39:24
  They pride at their intellect. I'm a smart person they say.
• 1:39:28
  I'm an intelligent person they say.
• 1:39:30
  And then eventually they get frustrated.
• 1:39:32
  They are angry with themselves, with government, with the
• 1:39:34
  system, they say I life is not giving me what I deserve.
• 1:39:38
  Unfortunately, if you are not empowered spiritually, every
• 1:39:42
  other thing can be right from a technical standpoint and you
• 1:39:45
  will still be poor. I was talking with someone a few
• 1:39:50
  years ago, I recall and the person was telling me some of
• 1:39:53
  the things he has done for this nation.
• 1:39:55
  I mean he's a brilliant man, brilliant man.
• 1:39:58
  You need to just talk with him for 5 minutes and you know that
• 1:40:01
  this man has stretched his intellect.
• 1:40:04
  But I looked at the man and not to judge, I could see the
• 1:40:07
  quality of his life. I could see without prophesying
• 1:40:10
  that this man is struggling, struggling financially.
• 1:40:12
  Have you seen people like that? If they open their mouth to
• 1:40:15
  attempted to say why are you like this, they are smart, they
• 1:40:19
  are brilliant. With all due respect, some of
• 1:40:22
  them are academicians. Did you know today, with all due
• 1:40:25
  respect and not to spite, there are many retired professors
• 1:40:28
  living in the rented apartment of their students.
• 1:40:34
  They brought the students from hundred level until he became a
• 1:40:38
  postgraduate and the man retired after 30 years, 35 years and
• 1:40:43
  could not own his home. They depend on their children to
• 1:40:46
  dress well. There are people like that
• 1:40:49
  across the globe. So this thing does not just end
• 1:40:58
  with economics and intellect. There is a divine dimension to
• 1:41:02
  it. And tonight is the night you
• 1:41:03
  will receive your portion in the name of Jesus.
• 1:41:08
  Let's say, for instance, I were a music minister.
• 1:41:12
  And that's what I do for a living.
• 1:41:13
  Say an example. Did you know how frustrating it
• 1:41:16
  will be? I can sing.
• 1:41:19
  I need the songs so that I can be blessed.
• 1:41:22
  Say, for instance, economically. And then I'm there laboring.
• 1:41:26
  Trying to write songs is not adding up.
• 1:41:28
  Trying to write songs is not adding up.
• 1:41:31
  And someone just goes to the secret place and in one hour
• 1:41:35
  comes up with a great song that becomes a great blessing.
• 1:41:38
  You know how unfair that is? That's the leverage you have
• 1:41:42
  when you have divine empowerment.
• 1:41:44
  So imagine merging intellectual prowess with that anointing.
• 1:41:48
  You become limitless. That becomes your portion from
• 1:41:51
  today, in the name of Jesus Christ, it will be clear before
• 1:41:57
  everyone, you are not alone, that heaven is back in you, back
• 1:42:00
  in your business. Number six, the sixth reason why
• 1:42:05
  people are poor from an economic standpoint is impatience.
• 1:42:10
  Proverbs 1311. Impatience, the cancer that has
• 1:42:14
  destroyed many potentials, are not allowed people to emerge.
• 1:42:18
  Impatience, it says wealth that is gotten by vanity shall be
• 1:42:24
  diminished, but he that gathered by labor shall increase
• 1:42:30
  impatience. This is where unfortunately, the
• 1:42:35
  idea of get rich quick schemes come again.
• 1:42:38
  I don't believe in get rich slow.
• 1:42:39
  I believe in get rich gradually but gradually on time, enough
• 1:42:44
  for you to fulfill your agenda. But get rich quick in terms of
• 1:42:48
  just I'm twisting life to deliver something, eventually
• 1:42:51
  you pay the price. Ask the prodigal son.
• 1:42:54
  The prodigal son was not trying to get rich.
• 1:42:57
  He already had the money, yet he still lost it.
• 1:43:05
  Impatience, Impatience. I want to get it now because my
• 1:43:11
  classmate has it already. I need it now.
• 1:43:14
  I want to get it now because this other pastor, this other
• 1:43:18
  man of God, this other businessman, I need it now.
• 1:43:23
  There are times you don't need to hurry up, hurry life.
• 1:43:27
  Just take it gradually, but make sure you are consistent.
• 1:43:30
  Are we together #7 Laziness. The seventh reason why people
• 1:43:38
  are poor is because they are lazy.
• 1:43:41
  Proverbs 24. Please take note of these things
• 1:43:43
  you are learning. Proverbs 20 and verse 4.
• 1:43:48
  The slow guard will not plough by reason of the cold.
• 1:43:51
  Therefore he shall beg in harvest and have nothing.
• 1:43:57
  The slow guard will not plough by reason of the cold.
• 1:44:01
  Therefore he shall beg in harvest and have nothing.
• 1:44:05
  Laziness Proverbs 1227. Proverbs 12/27.
• 1:44:12
  The slothful man roasted not what he took in the hunting, but
• 1:44:16
  the substance of the diligent man will be precious.
• 1:44:19
  This right here also double S as productivity.
• 1:44:22
  A lazy man will pay the price to hunt, but to roast it and
• 1:44:26
  increase the value, you say no, no, no, I don't want to go
• 1:44:28
  through the rigor of smoking it. And he leaves it there and it
• 1:44:31
  begins to rot until he does not have any value again.
• 1:44:38
  A young man who is sleeping the sleep of an old man will be
• 1:44:42
  poor. Are we together?
• 1:44:46
  Your grandfather is sleeping for all the hours.
• 1:44:48
  You too, You are joining him to sleep?
• 1:44:51
  No, his life is almost finished, yours is starting.
• 1:44:57
  His own is rest, your own is trouble.
• 1:45:01
  You see the difference? Let me tell you the truth, when
• 1:45:05
  you are starting your life, especially if time has gone
• 1:45:09
  against you, give it the aggression it takes.
• 1:45:12
  Give it the aggression. Read the books, attend the
• 1:45:16
  seminars, pray the prayer, wake up in the night.
• 1:45:20
  Do your research and development.
• 1:45:23
  I told you to rest and sleep, but don't sleep on the second
• 1:45:26
  day. Don't sleep on the third day.
• 1:45:28
  Jesus rested on the 7th day. If you rest on the first day,
• 1:45:32
  you will wake up and still find darkness.
• 1:45:35
  You will wake up and find no vegetation.
• 1:45:36
  There's nothing. There is a time to rest, but
• 1:45:39
  make sure you do what is worth resting.
• 1:45:43
  Hallelujah, laziness. I bind the spirit of laziness.
• 1:45:48
  I cast it out of your life forever.
• 1:45:51
  Let me speak to everybody, but particularly to the brothers.
• 1:45:55
  Please do not punish your family now or in the future because of
• 1:45:59
  laziness. Let me start with my people.
• 1:46:01
  Koinonia Global. Then I extend it to the entire
• 1:46:04
  globe. One of the indices that measure
• 1:46:10
  masculinity is not 6 packs. A Husky voice is the capacity to
• 1:46:17
  provide. And in the name of Jesus, I
• 1:46:20
  release grace over everyone. First I cast out the spirit of
• 1:46:23
  laziness. Then I release grace upon every
• 1:46:27
  gentleman here. Anyone who earns a living by
• 1:46:32
  begging, I divorce you from that life.
• 1:46:34
  Today. You can't have a wife and have
• 1:46:40
  children, and the only way you live is by begging.
• 1:46:44
  Bros, I've come again. Oh, can I get 2030 10 or you
• 1:46:51
  have 5 Bros? Sorry.
• 1:46:56
  Oh my. I just realized that my wife is
• 1:46:59
  pregnant. We need to go and see the
• 1:47:01
  doctor. Can I get 50?
• 1:47:04
  OK, borrow me. You can't live like that.
• 1:47:07
  It's a very irresponsible way to live.
• 1:47:11
  You see, This is why. Please don't feel insulted.
• 1:47:14
  But This is why it's important. Mentorship is very important.
• 1:47:18
  If nobody rebukes you early, you will keep tolerating this
• 1:47:22
  nonsense till the day destroys your family.
• 1:47:24
  Some of you are in the active practice of it, but no one has
• 1:47:28
  been able to call you in love to say it's a wrong way.
• 1:47:31
  This is not even about the issue of shame and embarrassment is
• 1:47:35
  that you need to take responsibility over your life.
• 1:47:38
  You cannot feed your family of begging, it's not a wise way.
• 1:47:46
  Hallelujah. It's not a wise way to live.
• 1:47:50
  It's not a wise way to live at all.
• 1:47:54
  Laziness. Ensure you are productive.
• 1:48:02
  There are people who don't have any money whatsoever, but you
• 1:48:05
  give them a job. They say I don't like it.
• 1:48:10
  OK, come. There's a job.
• 1:48:12
  It can give you 80,000 per month.
• 1:48:14
  It's not much, but it's better than that.
• 1:48:16
  Well, I I I don't really like it.
• 1:48:18
  I don't like doing any job. When somebody will insult me.
• 1:48:20
  You are saying I should drive and one small girl will be
• 1:48:23
  insulting me. My brother, you are, you don't.
• 1:48:25
  You are from Ground Zero. Why don't you start and you're
• 1:48:29
  the insult till you meet her father.
• 1:48:32
  She is the father that will bless you, not the girl.
• 1:48:35
  She may be lousy, she may be nasty.
• 1:48:37
  But while you are driving, as she's insulting you, you are
• 1:48:40
  saying, Lord, I'm taking this insult as a reproach that came
• 1:48:42
  from my foundation. Cure it.
• 1:48:44
  Let my children not have to do the same thing.
• 1:48:46
  One day the father will call you and say we are looking for a
• 1:48:49
  young boy. I heard you went to school.
• 1:48:51
  Yes. What did you study?
• 1:48:52
  Well, it doesn't matter. Can you do what mean?
• 1:48:55
  Yes, Sir. You answer quickly.
• 1:48:57
  Yes, Sir. Do you know everything about
• 1:49:06
  administration? No Sir, but I'm open to learn.
• 1:49:08
  A three days training. I'm open to learn.
• 1:49:11
  And before you know it, you will start growing until you become
• 1:49:14
  the head of his company, earning millions and billions.
• 1:49:17
  It started from driving. Can I tell you the truth?
• 1:49:20
  Once it does not kill, once it does not steal, once it does not
• 1:49:26
  destroy, and it does not reduce human dignity, it is worth it.
• 1:49:33
  Let me say that again. Once it does not steal or
• 1:49:37
  involve stealing, once it does not kill or involve killing,
• 1:49:41
  once it does not destroy, and once it does not downplay the
• 1:49:46
  mean human dignity, it is worth it.
• 1:49:49
  I will have more respect for a graduate who read well, but
• 1:49:54
  because he did not have anything to do, he he prefers to go to a
• 1:49:58
  block industry and say you know what I may not be able to do?
• 1:50:02
  Let me be a secretary for you and sit there and do whatever
• 1:50:06
  he's doing than the arrogant one who does not have money and will
• 1:50:12
  keep collecting debt and use his wife's signature to keep
• 1:50:16
  increasing more debt. Is someone learning now?
• 1:50:26
  It's amazing how many people who don't have financial resources,
• 1:50:30
  their pride has punished their families, punish their families.
• 1:50:36
  You know, I need to go to the village and it's only you that
• 1:50:38
  knows. I don't have a job.
• 1:50:40
  And I hear that there's there are three levels of the
• 1:50:42
  materials to buy. There's the 5000 naira owned,
• 1:50:46
  there's a 50,000 era, there's a 500,000.
• 1:50:49
  But if you buy the 500,000, there's a place you will sit.
• 1:50:51
  You want register, you join people who are managers to
• 1:50:55
  register for the 5000 era material.
• 1:50:57
  And you go and sit down there and they say, OK, all of you who
• 1:51:00
  are here, we want you to give towards this foundation.
• 1:51:03
  Now you're under pressure. You you see how people put
• 1:51:06
  themselves in trouble. You came to church to learn God
• 1:51:15
  is doing for you an X-ray of your life.
• 1:51:17
  You enter some of the finest restaurants in Abuja.
• 1:51:20
  Here you can separate the people sitting there economically.
• 1:51:24
  You are almost tempted to go and say stand up, what are you doing
• 1:51:26
  here? I know you, you should not be
• 1:51:28
  here. It's not condemnation.
• 1:51:30
  You are not there for anybody's birthday party.
• 1:51:32
  It's not even maybe you are. You are not.
• 1:51:34
  It's not marriage anniversary or anything.
• 1:51:36
  What are you doing there? Stand up and go home.
• 1:51:40
  You leave your wife and your children and you go and you are
• 1:51:42
  eating your future there. Hallelujah.
• 1:51:53
  I find it very foolish when I see men gathered together,
• 1:51:56
  especially when they are not doing well economically.
• 1:51:58
  They cluster themselves, leave their wives, leave their
• 1:52:01
  children. The child's school fees has not
• 1:52:03
  been paid. The man says he does not have
• 1:52:06
  money, yet he's blowing 100,200 thousand among friends and they
• 1:52:10
  are laughing, talking politics, criticizing people they will
• 1:52:13
  never see. When he's done, he will go back
• 1:52:16
  home and harass the wife and harass the children minus you.
• 1:52:29
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:52:38
  There is dignity in labor no matter how small.
• 1:52:43
  There is dignity in labor. I know a man who is he died a
• 1:52:48
  multi millionaire. He started by cleaning offices.
• 1:52:52
  He was frustrated and he said I may not.
• 1:52:55
  He didn't have the privilege of going to school, but he said I
• 1:52:58
  would not let my family go through this.
• 1:53:00
  He bought rugs, bought mops and started moving from office to
• 1:53:04
  office. He said he could clean.
• 1:53:06
  One gave him a chance. He cleaned.
• 1:53:08
  Not much was given to him but he received it and that was how he
• 1:53:12
  started growing until he expanded his business.
• 1:53:16
  True story. I know someone who went to meet
• 1:53:19
  those who sell cows and goats, he said.
• 1:53:21
  I don't have the money to buy cows and goats but I know people
• 1:53:25
  during festive periods they buy. Can I create like a business?
• 1:53:30
  I will network all the people who I will bring the customers
• 1:53:34
  for every. Is it 5 goats or 10 goats?
• 1:53:36
  You will give me one. I don't need money from you and
• 1:53:39
  honestly, that was how they started.
• 1:53:40
  Do you know eventually they gave him some some cattle for free
• 1:53:45
  because they trusted him. Right now, that gentleman, he
• 1:53:48
  may not have too much but at least you know his family will
• 1:53:51
  not beg for bread again. Are we together?
• 1:53:57
  Please, I bind from you and I cast the spirit of laziness.
• 1:54:03
  I heard the story of a lady in this Abuja, God gave her access
• 1:54:07
  to very wealthy, you know, a network of very wealthy women.
• 1:54:11
  You know what she does, She goes to them and she pleads with them
• 1:54:14
  that if they were done using this, their hair, maybe they're
• 1:54:18
  the ones they don't like, they should give it to her.
• 1:54:20
  I think there's a way they wash it and resell it.
• 1:54:22
  That's how she started her business until somebody gave her
• 1:54:25
  capital because of trust. Heaven is waiting to back you.
• 1:54:32
  If you can be serious, can be serious, it can be serious.
• 1:54:37
  You have a little space in your house, the money you use to live
• 1:54:41
  a fake life. Buy a car wash machine.
• 1:54:45
  Start from there, start from there.
• 1:54:48
  You will not end up doing that. What it will teach you
• 1:54:51
  discipline and it will give you a story to tell your children.
• 1:54:54
  I have profound respect for people who can bend over
• 1:54:58
  backwards in righteousness, especially for their families.
• 1:55:06
  Hallelujah. The message is harder.
• 1:55:10
  That's what it takes to prosper. Oh, rest on me, Oh, rest on me,
• 1:55:22
  Oh, rest on me, spirit of wisdom, rest on me.
• 1:55:30
  Let me give you #8 Very quickly. This one effects.
• 1:55:34
  It causes poverty at a macro level, the economic and
• 1:55:38
  political policies that govern a nation and govern a region.
• 1:55:43
  This is the eighth reason why people remain poor.
• 1:55:45
  This one effects people at a macro level, the economic and
• 1:55:50
  political policies that govern that nation and that governs the
• 1:55:55
  region. Many people are poor regionally,
• 1:56:00
  nationally because of the economic and political policies.
• 1:56:06
  When nations and leaders create policies that don't work well
• 1:56:10
  for the people, their economic well-being, you have the kinds
• 1:56:14
  of things that we suffer in many parts of the world, particularly
• 1:56:17
  the African continent. So the eighth reason, this may
• 1:56:21
  not stop bread from coming to you at a micro level, but it
• 1:56:25
  affects the territory at a macro level, the economic and
• 1:56:28
  political policies that govern that nation or govern that
• 1:56:33
  region. Let me give you #9 the ninth
• 1:56:35
  reason why people are poor. This also effects at both a
• 1:56:39
  micro and macro level, the security situation of any nation
• 1:56:44
  or any policy or any region. The security situation, the most
• 1:56:50
  secured a nation is, the most secured a region is.
• 1:56:55
  The most secured a state is the more they are able to attract
• 1:57:00
  foreign direct investment, the more they are able to attract
• 1:57:03
  partners from across the globe. Many parts of Africa have
• 1:57:07
  suffered economic blows. Today there are people with
• 1:57:11
  billions, organizations with billions of dollars, multi
• 1:57:16
  millions willing to invest in many parts of Africa.
• 1:57:20
  But what is a hindrance to them is economic situation.
• 1:57:23
  That's why we must continue to pray for our nation and the
• 1:57:26
  nation in Africa because the issue of security is not just
• 1:57:30
  about terminating lives and properties.
• 1:57:32
  It's also about stopping the economic emancipation of people.
• 1:57:36
  Are we together? If I'm a farmer and there's
• 1:57:39
  unrest in my region, it will affect me.
• 1:57:43
  Are we together? If I'm in partnership with
• 1:57:45
  someone else overseas, the people will just withdraw their
• 1:57:48
  money and say no, I'm I'm not ready to lose my money to
• 1:57:51
  security. God will keep securing our
• 1:57:54
  nation in the name of Jesus. 10, I'll give you the 10th and the
• 1:57:59
  final reason why people are poor, lack of infrastructure.
• 1:58:06
  You notice that the last three effects, nations and
• 1:58:10
  territories, not just individuals, lack of
• 1:58:13
  infrastructure, infrastructure like road infrastructure,
• 1:58:18
  sometimes like power and all of that.
• 1:58:21
  One of the major problems affecting businesses in Africa,
• 1:58:27
  after security and maybe other things like corruption, we have
• 1:58:31
  roads, some many, many farm lands from where that you
• 1:58:35
  produce until when you get to the city, it takes almost
• 1:58:39
  forever. I know a particular region in
• 1:58:42
  this nation, they they farm certain agricultural products,
• 1:58:46
  but it almost takes forever to live from the farm to the place
• 1:58:50
  where they can store them. And so most of the people just
• 1:58:53
  keep it at the farm and, you know, put tampolines there, and
• 1:58:57
  by night other people come to steal it.
• 1:59:02
  Infrastructure like roads, power and so on and so forth.
• 1:59:07
  Look up. Do you know how much it takes?
• 1:59:09
  Many of you here are business people.
• 1:59:11
  You know what it takes to run diesel for your restaurant.
• 1:59:14
  Say for instance, you have a restaurant and if you have a
• 1:59:17
  restaurant and you have to run diesel, a 500 or 200 or 100 kva
• 1:59:22
  generator diesel from morning till night because you are
• 1:59:25
  trying to maintain excellence. Even if there's only one staff,
• 1:59:29
  you will see on the jet and the staff would just for one hour
• 1:59:32
  then take one pina colada and go out and say I have, I have a
• 1:59:38
  meeting somewhere. You calculate the amount of
• 1:59:41
  diesel versus the amount of the drink he's taken.
• 1:59:44
  It doesn't add up. You're losing, for you must
• 1:59:47
  maintain excellence, ignorance or incomplete knowledge.
• 1:59:55
  Lack of education and financial literacy 2.
• 1:59:58
  Absence of value and skill that are needed and useful three.
• 2:00:02
  Lack of productivity and excellence 4.
• 2:00:06
  Absence of strategic networks and relationships 5.
• 2:00:10
  Lack of spiritual empowerment 6. Impatience. 7 Laziness. 8 The
• 2:00:18
  economic and political policies that govern that nation or that
• 2:00:22
  region. 9 The security situation in that nation at any given
• 2:00:27
  time. 10 The absence of infrastructure now.
• 2:00:32
  Keys to lasting wealth and abundance.
• 2:00:36
  Keys to lasting wealth and abundance.
• 2:00:39
  I give you a guarantee in the name of Jesus.
• 2:00:42
  Like I said, I don't know everything and tonight's
• 2:00:45
  discussion does not give you all the answers you need, but it
• 2:00:48
  sure can bring you out from that place of pressure to a place
• 2:00:52
  where you can at least lift up your head and begin to sail
• 2:00:56
  towards a financially buoyant destiny.
• 2:00:59
  The keys to lasting wealth and abundance I listed for you.
• 2:01:04
  And then we're ready to receive an importation of the grace #1A
• 2:01:10
  heart for God and a hat for Kingdom come.
• 2:01:17
  The first key to lasting wealth and abundance.
• 2:01:20
  A hat for God and a hat for Kingdom come.
• 2:01:25
  Second Chronicles 26, five. Talking about Uzziah.
• 2:01:30
  He sought God in the days of Zechariah, and as long as he
• 2:01:34
  sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.
• 2:01:40
  Psalm 34 and verse 10, the Young Lions do lack and suffer hunger,
• 2:01:46
  but they that seek the Lord, not they that seek money, they that
• 2:01:52
  seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
• 2:01:55
  He says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
• 2:01:59
  So the first key to lasting wealth and abundance, in
• 2:02:01
  addition to all the foundations that have been laid, is to have
• 2:02:05
  a heart for God and a heart for Kingdom come.
• 2:02:08
  I can tell you sincerely, when God finds a man's heart that
• 2:02:13
  loves him and loves his program, God will place his hand upon you
• 2:02:18
  and accelerate your journey to becoming blessed financially.
• 2:02:22
  It is true #2 What is the second key to lasting wealth and
• 2:02:28
  abundance? Are you ready?
• 2:02:32
  Let me put a word on on key number one.
• 2:02:35
  You must love the Lord far beyond money to really, really
• 2:02:40
  be blessed God's way. You must love the Lord far
• 2:02:44
  beyond money and material blessings.
• 2:02:51
  Most times people think that those who are rich are those who
• 2:02:54
  are obsessed about money. I tell you, many people who are
• 2:02:57
  possessors of Kingdom wealth, in fact, they got to that state
• 2:03:03
  because of the the extent of divorce.
• 2:03:06
  There is a separation between them and the loss for money and
• 2:03:10
  material things. I've told God any money or any
• 2:03:15
  pursuit for economic benefits that will take his place in my
• 2:03:20
  life, may, may that bargain never, never even appear before
• 2:03:24
  me. I love him more than finances.
• 2:03:27
  I love him more than money. I love you more than tea and
• 2:03:30
  bread. Someone say I love Jesus.
• 2:03:34
  Say it again, say I love Jesus. Say I love Jesus.
• 2:03:41
  You must love him beyond money. You must love him beyond
• 2:03:46
  material things. There are many people who come
• 2:03:50
  to church purely for economic benefits that that cannot be a
• 2:03:55
  winner's disposition. I love him sincerely from my
• 2:04:01
  heart. Whether he blesses me or not, my
• 2:04:05
  love and my allegiance for him remains on bending.
• 2:04:08
  If I have the privilege to love him while eating rice, I am
• 2:04:13
  happy. If it does not come as rice, I
• 2:04:16
  still love him. If I have tea on my table and
• 2:04:20
  bread while I worship Him, I am grateful, but even if there's no
• 2:04:23
  tea and bread, I will never leave Him.
• 2:04:26
  Listen to me ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:04:28
  Money has its own spirit. If you don't love God, by the
• 2:04:32
  time it enters your hand, it will become A cause.
• 2:04:35
  I've seen many people who thought they loved God until
• 2:04:38
  money came. There are certain temptations
• 2:04:41
  that have no business coming to your life till you have money.
• 2:04:44
  I hope you know that because temptations also have economic
• 2:04:48
  implications. If you are broke, there are
• 2:04:50
  certain temptations you would think cannot come to you, but it
• 2:04:54
  doesn't need to come to you. You don't have the financial
• 2:04:56
  wherewithal to execute it. So Satan will wait until the day
• 2:05:02
  you are blessed and your heart deviates from God.
• 2:05:07
  This is why you see above and beyond teaching on finances with
• 2:05:11
  drum it in people's hearts. This is the generation that
• 2:05:15
  seeks your face, Oh God of Jacob, no matter the billions he
• 2:05:20
  gives you, listen to me. No matter the millions he gives
• 2:05:24
  you, make sure that you remain surrendered to him.
• 2:05:27
  Is someone letting down? And don't allow some of these
• 2:05:30
  funny friends come around. The moment you make money, they
• 2:05:34
  come, they start calling you all kinds of names as do it whereby
• 2:05:36
  your power and your might and they deviate you from the things
• 2:05:39
  of God. You are going to church again.
• 2:05:42
  Are you now, Mother Teresa? You just built a house as though
• 2:05:45
  the purpose of going to church was just to get money and you
• 2:05:49
  feel guilty loving Jesus. You mean you're a billionaire
• 2:05:52
  and you are going to sweep the church?
• 2:05:54
  You mean you are in the technical department, You are
• 2:05:56
  fixing wires in the House of God and yet you have a conglomerate.
• 2:06:00
  Is that not an insult? Remember, David danced as the
• 2:06:04
  act was on his way coming to Jerusalem.
• 2:06:06
  And the wife looked at him and said, are you, are you not
• 2:06:08
  conscious of your royalty? You are the greatest king of
• 2:06:11
  your days. Why are you dancing in an
• 2:06:14
  undignified manner? He said.
• 2:06:16
  I'm dancing before the God who took the Kingdom from your
• 2:06:19
  Father and gave it to me. Can I tell you the truth?
• 2:06:25
  Never allow money blind you never allow money Get to a point
• 2:06:31
  where and I tell you the truth. You see, when you get to a realm
• 2:06:34
  of priority living, where everything is priority, life is
• 2:06:39
  good, at that point it becomes difficult to see the need for
• 2:06:42
  God is the reason why a need driven Christianity will not
• 2:06:47
  produce lasting warriors, lasting witnesses.
• 2:06:51
  Because the day you become comfortable, you now ask
• 2:06:53
  yourself, why pray? Why fast?
• 2:06:56
  Why give? After all, the giving was to
• 2:06:59
  cast out demons of poverty. The prayer was to cast out
• 2:07:02
  demons of poverty. Now that I don't need them in my
• 2:07:04
  vicinity. You don't love God again, but I
• 2:07:07
  pray for you. When we see you at the other
• 2:07:10
  side of wealth and abundance, you will still be
• 2:07:12
  dissurrendered. You will this be this.
• 2:07:16
  You will still be this addicted to God in the name of Jesus.
• 2:07:21
  For some of you, you will be so blessed we will not even know
• 2:07:25
  you are that blessed until the day we see the things you have.
• 2:07:28
  Because your passion for God will will blind us from even
• 2:07:32
  seeing what you have. All we will know is that you are
• 2:07:34
  a passionate lover of Jesus. I release that grace on you in
• 2:07:38
  Jesus name. The money that would take me
• 2:07:45
  from Jesus must be a demon, may be far from me.
• 2:07:50
  The money that will steal my love and my passion for Jesus
• 2:07:53
  must be satanic, may be far from me.
• 2:07:57
  Any material blessing that will steal away my hunger, my passion
• 2:08:00
  for God, even as I'm preaching here, I'm saying it may be far
• 2:08:04
  from me. It is better to not have much
• 2:08:09
  and have the wealth of His presence.
• 2:08:11
  I told you to listen to Our Daily Bread.
• 2:08:14
  One of the greatest gifts, the first daily bread you need, is
• 2:08:18
  the gift of His presence. If your presence will not
• 2:08:20
  depart, it doesn't matter what boxes of money are around me.
• 2:08:24
  But if I do not have your presence, I know that I have
• 2:08:27
  nothing. You must have a heart for God
• 2:08:30
  and have a heart for Kingdom come #2 the second key to
• 2:08:33
  lasting wealth and abundance. You must contend for mental
• 2:08:37
  transformation. You must contend for mental
• 2:08:42
  transformation and editing of your belief systems.
• 2:08:46
  I've taught you this. There's not much to say.
• 2:08:49
  Again, you must contend for mental transformation.
• 2:08:53
  Trust God for grace to edit your belief systems about finances
• 2:08:58
  like I have taught you. This will require you going to
• 2:09:01
  listen to this message again so that the word of God will wash
• 2:09:05
  those wrong ideologies belief system.
• 2:09:09
  The science will always follow your believing.
• 2:09:12
  You believe right, the right signs will follow.
• 2:09:15
  You believe wrong, the wrong signs will follow #3 invest in
• 2:09:20

  I'm a fashion designer. Can God prosper me?
• 2:13:55
  I'm a tailor. Can God prosper me?
• 2:13:57
  Absolutely. The first question is, who knows
• 2:13:59
  you are there? Everybody here is wearing a
• 2:14:01
  cloth. Why are you not the one who sold
• 2:14:03
  my cloth? Maybe because I don't know you
• 2:14:06
  are there. Maybe you are even better than
• 2:14:08
  my tailors. But do I know you are there?
• 2:14:10
  You need to learn how to make people know you are there.
• 2:14:15
  Are we together? The people who the woman who
• 2:14:22
  said come see the woman at the well, they didn't know they
• 2:14:25
  needed Jesus. It took a woman as a bridge.
• 2:14:28
  She said, Come see a man that told me everything I've done.
• 2:14:32
  They came and they met him and their lives changed.
• 2:14:38
  Be productive in the name of Jesus.
• 2:14:41
  You've been cooking in your small kitchen and everybody
• 2:14:45
  likes your food. Most of the people who eat your
• 2:14:48
  food do not even know. Somebody may buy your food and
• 2:14:51
  repackage it and resell it to kings.
• 2:14:54
  You have the capacity to do more, but because you are not
• 2:14:58
  willing to expand, to be productive, I pray for you.
• 2:15:02
  May your hands begin to be productive from today.
• 2:15:08
  One of our precious ladies, she has a bee farm.
• 2:15:12
  Lovely lady. Yesterday I was discussing with
• 2:15:15
  them, I think it was last week, asking them the various things
• 2:15:18
  that they do on my way going home.
• 2:15:19
  And then I picked interest in some of them.
• 2:15:21
  And I you said you have your beef farm where in Abuja here
• 2:15:24
  slash Nina and all of that Suleja.
• 2:15:27
  I said, OK, let me see what you you can do.
• 2:15:30
  And yesterday after the workers meeting, she comes to me
• 2:15:33
  standing with a honey, you know, packaged beautifully packaged.
• 2:15:38
  And I told her, I said I'm very proud of you.
• 2:15:41
  Whatever support God can help to give you for your business will
• 2:15:43
  do that. Are you see in favor without
• 2:15:45
  prayer? You already have started the
• 2:15:48
  journey. Nobody will start the journey
• 2:15:50
  for you. But as you start the signs start
• 2:15:53
  following you. Someone now say apostle me too,
• 2:15:57
  I make honey. I don't know you, you you've
• 2:16:00
  never told anybody you make honey.
• 2:16:02
  That's the that's the issue. It's not those who are available
• 2:16:07
  who are blessed. It's those who are known.
• 2:16:15
  Maybe you even make better. Honey, unfortunately, you will
• 2:16:18
  not get my support because I don't know you.
• 2:16:20
  Are you seeing that now, Apostle?
• 2:16:25
  I can fix phones, provided it is not scattered.
• 2:16:27
  I can fix it. I don't know you.
• 2:16:29
  We don't know you. Favor must have a location to go
• 2:16:33
  to. Did you hear what I said?
• 2:16:37
  Favor must have a location. Give it a location.
• 2:16:40
  Where should it come to? No shop, no place, no nothing.
• 2:16:45
  You're not branding your impact. There was a time and and I'm I'm
• 2:16:55
  saying this, there was a time some people bought a lot of
• 2:16:59
  grains and they were looking for warehouses, looking for someone
• 2:17:04
  to rent them warehouses so that they store the grains.
• 2:17:07
  And I thought to myself, I said, look at someone's opportunity.
• 2:17:10
  He's missed an opportunity to make millions of naira.
• 2:17:15
  Are we together now? Warehouses just to store the
• 2:17:19
  grain, not to do any other thing.
• 2:17:23
  I know someone in northern Nigeria and I'm not
• 2:17:25
  exaggerating. I think they pay him about 300
• 2:17:28
  million for storage. 300 million, I was told 300 million,
• 2:17:37
  not for farming, for creating a chain of storage systems.
• 2:17:43
  I mean what I'm saying, 300 million, he's not famine, he's
• 2:17:48
  not bagging. You just come and the line.
• 2:17:51
  He has a chain of them and you store your grains.
• 2:17:54
  They protect it. Once it's time, they open it for
• 2:17:57
  you. 300 million. Hello.
• 2:18:08
  Be productive, be productive, be productive.
• 2:18:14
  You can cook, but the last time you cooked there was no
• 2:18:17
  packaging, there was no address there, there was no phone
• 2:18:21
  number. We enjoyed your rice, but we
• 2:18:24
  don't know who you are. And so we started using the
• 2:18:27
  person who brought it to us, not the person who cooked it,
• 2:18:30
  because the person who brought it to us was the location.
• 2:18:33
  Favour could see. Is somebody learning?
• 2:18:35
  Now? We're not in a business class,
• 2:18:37
  but let me tell you this. Favor needs a location to rest.
• 2:18:41
  When you order something from DHL, it must know where to land
• 2:18:44
  that. If it's if it's nowhere, they
• 2:18:47
  return it back. There are some of you here.
• 2:18:54
  What you can do with your hand is only God that knows.
• 2:18:58
  By now you should be in palaces serving kings, whether it's
• 2:19:03
  dressing them, whether it's it's your, your hand, your hair, some
• 2:19:08
  of you. The grace God has given you.
• 2:19:11
  You should be the one dressing the hair of Queens and
• 2:19:14
  royalties. You are gifted, but you do not
• 2:19:17
  know how to be productive, so nobody knows you.
• 2:19:22
  In the name of Jesus, the grace for visibility so that those who
• 2:19:27
  need you, I'm saying this from my heart and I'm not praying for
• 2:19:30
  everybody, I'm praying for serious people.
• 2:19:32
  The grace to be seen in the name of Jesus, may it rest on you.
• 2:19:40
  Hallelujah, the grace to be seen, let it rest on you.
• 2:19:44
  By the power of the Holy Spirit. By the power of the Holy Spirit,
• 2:19:49
  say I receive grace to be productive.
• 2:19:55
  Hallelujah. Don't make things.
• 2:19:59
  You turn plantain into flour and you just wrap it as if it's a
• 2:20:03
  charm. No packaging, no name.
• 2:20:07
  And you bring it and say don't worry about the cover.
• 2:20:09
  The plantain is organic. That's not the issue.
• 2:20:12
  Why? Why are you telling me what you
• 2:20:14
  should write on the pack? Telling me the plantain is
• 2:20:17
  organic does not bless me. What if I give it to someone as
• 2:20:19
  a gift? Must I keep telling everybody is
• 2:20:22
  organic? Write it there.
• 2:20:24
  Organic flour healthy for find somebody to write it for you put
• 2:20:29
  your number, put your e-mail. Then you can now go and pray.
• 2:20:33
  Father, I've done my own part at least with the limit of the
• 2:20:36
  resources and then you get a call.
• 2:20:38
  Now favor can work. Someone calls and said, look,
• 2:20:41
  you just as if you knew that my husband has a health crisis.
• 2:20:46
  We've been looking for someone to make plantain flour because
• 2:20:49
  our consultant said that's the only thing you should eat.
• 2:20:52
  You now say mommy, I'm here. He said keep bringing it every
• 2:20:54
  day. Bring 11 carton every week.
• 2:20:58
  That's how you start. Then you now say, mommy, I do
• 2:21:00
  cassava too, I do other things too.
• 2:21:03
  Then during Christmas you bring 1 carton free of charge and the
• 2:21:07
  woman says I want to open a shop for you.
• 2:21:08
  Your destiny is already rising. It is not difficult to rise when
• 2:21:12
  you understand the system of the Kingdom.
• 2:21:14
  I'm telling you this, some of you are marketers.
• 2:21:19
  You can make people remove their clothes in and enter inside the
• 2:21:23
  fridge and sit down there till they die.
• 2:21:26
  Your gift is your mouth, you are not using it.
• 2:21:28
  You are begging and God gave you something.
• 2:21:35
  Are we together? Once you open up your mouth, you
• 2:21:39
  have convincing power. I'm not saying you tell lies,
• 2:21:43
  you just know what to say. Why are you wasting it?
• 2:21:46
  Create a consultancy firm where you link demand and supply.
• 2:21:53
  Be known for the person who announces products when they
• 2:21:57
  bring out products. Are we together Now You can
• 2:22:00
  double up as an influencer eventually there are people
• 2:22:03
  wasting their pages, getting 0 naira for it, gossiping and
• 2:22:07
  creating trouble. Now somebody wants to kill you
• 2:22:11
  because you are not doing the right thing.
• 2:22:18
  I hope. I hope as you are laughing you
• 2:22:20
  are learning. I'm very serious over what I'm
• 2:22:22
  saying. Very serious.
• 2:22:29
  I receive. I manifest your power and your
• 2:22:37
  wisdom till the nation see Jesus lifted up Hallelujah.
• 2:22:52
  I'll tell you this one time our mother in the Lord Mummy Geo
• 2:22:58
  gave me a gift plantain and she was telling me said you know my
• 2:23:04
  son, this plantain is oil free. A lot of things, very crispy,
• 2:23:08
  nice plantain. And I thought to myself, I said
• 2:23:12
  this is a metric, a mother of mothers, what is she looking
• 2:23:16
  for? Trying to be productive.
• 2:23:18
  But she gave me that as a gift. I ate it for two reasons.
• 2:23:21
  One, it was delicious. Two, it was impartation.
• 2:23:24
  I ate everything. Are we together?
• 2:23:34
  Let me tell you this, you must be known for something.
• 2:23:38
  Find out something from today. Find it.
• 2:23:43
  I had the story of a woman. You've had the story.
• 2:23:47
  It was Moi Moi that took her to the White House.
• 2:23:50
  Some of you here, if you fry, whether it's bean cake, there
• 2:23:55
  are just things you can do. Some of you, if you bake cakes,
• 2:23:59
  we'll eat it and bite our fingers, but we don't know you.
• 2:24:06
  I feel steady in my heart to pray that graceful visibility
• 2:24:08
  again. Listen to me.
• 2:24:10
  Do you know there was a time in this ministry?
• 2:24:13
  I told the leaders. I said I want to start knowing
• 2:24:16
  the people who are in this ministry from a career
• 2:24:18
  standpoint, just for my knowledge.
• 2:24:20
  And I was shocked at the quality of people in this ministry who
• 2:24:25
  just sit quietly. There's almost no major field of
• 2:24:28
  endeavour where there are no professionals sitting quietly.
• 2:24:31
  Some of them sit outside. And I started blaming myself.
• 2:24:34
  I said, Mister man, you need to grow.
• 2:24:36
  God has given you a rich Bank of human resources that you are
• 2:24:40
  under utilizing. If it's professors, they are
• 2:24:43
  here. Military men, they are here.
• 2:24:45
  Judicial people, they are here. Oil and gas, they are here.
• 2:24:49
  Aviation, they are here. Tech, they are here.
• 2:24:52
  Spirituality, they are here. Prayer warriors, they are here.
• 2:24:55
  Everything here and if you don't know how to aggregate your
• 2:24:59
  resources, some of you God has given you an A system of
• 2:25:02
  advantage. It's just that you are looking
• 2:25:05
  down on yourself. Whatever makes you look down on
• 2:25:08
  yourself. I cast that spirit forever.
• 2:25:14
  Listen, some of you were going to pray.
• 2:25:17
  Do you know there are some of you here who are exceptional
• 2:25:20
  with logistics? You can make things delivered in
• 2:25:24
  one day, You know who to make happen, but you don't have any
• 2:25:28
  company, you've not registered anything and billions and
• 2:25:32
  millions are floating around you while you are praying and say
• 2:25:34
  God, when will you look at me? Some of you here, if we need
• 2:25:44
  10,000 chickens by tomorrow, you have the capacity to supply it.
• 2:25:49
  But we don't know you. We don't know you.
• 2:25:53
  Some of you are lynx men. You can make things easy.
• 2:25:57
  If we say today as a ministry we need 100 hectares of land.
• 2:26:02
  Some of you have legitimate connections.
• 2:26:05
  That land will come out in one week and yet another person can
• 2:26:08
  be reaping the benefits. Anybody taking your place
• 2:26:13
  because of your carelessness? I cry unto the God of my
• 2:26:16
  covenant. May God open your eyes today and
• 2:26:19
  redirect you. Hallelujah.
• 2:26:26
  Some of you had 9A's, 9A's in your SSC.
• 2:26:32
  You're wasting your brain. First class, You're wasting it.
• 2:26:35
  You can set up something. Find young people who don't have
• 2:26:39
  a job yet. Create something tailor made for
• 2:26:43
  jam periods. Tailor made for wired periods.
• 2:26:47
  Only 50 students charge your price.
• 2:26:50
  Anybody who cannot pay should go away though no sentiments and
• 2:26:54
  settle down to train the people. I used to know a woman in in
• 2:26:58
  Abuja here, she was a Ghanaian. I don't know if she still does
• 2:27:01
  it. She used to do 20 students those
• 2:27:03
  days at 50,000 per student. But I tell you, if you are a
• 2:27:08
  student, no matter how dull your head is, you must pass your
• 2:27:12
  exam. She just knows what to do.
• 2:27:16
  Some of you are ghost writers. Do you know how many people are
• 2:27:19
  in desperate need? You can write anything.
• 2:27:23
  There are people who have the influence and the capacity, but
• 2:27:26
  they do not know you are there. I came to challenge you.
• 2:27:30
  We are wrapping up next week. I'm speaking to you from my
• 2:27:32
  heart. Some of you have links to people
• 2:27:36
  in China. You can bring in anything
• 2:27:39
  without compromise. But you've not made one naira
• 2:27:42
  from it. If I catch your gift, I will be
• 2:27:47
  glad to pray for you. Don't come with empty hand and
• 2:27:51
  empty head and one day anointing.
• 2:27:53
  No Sir, there are some of you here who are business people.
• 2:27:58
  Listen, my precious people, international guest, you will be
• 2:28:01
  surprised as God brings you here every week.
• 2:28:05
  Pray that you open your eyes. You will be surprised.
• 2:28:07
  You will see a loophole. It is not all corruption in
• 2:28:11
  Africa. There are legitimate
• 2:28:13
  opportunities. That's supposed to be the next
• 2:28:16
  point. The the next point, let me even
• 2:28:19
  give it to you. Networking and strategic
• 2:28:23
  relationships. You are as powerful as your
• 2:28:26
  networks. I've taught you who hates you
• 2:28:31
  does not matter, but you need somebody to like you.
• 2:28:35
  You are as fortunate as the people who believe in you.
• 2:28:38
  Build strategic networks. That's number five and
• 2:28:42
  relationships. Be part of relevant groups that
• 2:28:47
  are around your area of value. Attend programs to meet like
• 2:28:52
  minded people. Don't say you want to be a
• 2:28:55
  leader in a particular field and there's a a conference around
• 2:28:59
  that field happening and you're not going.
• 2:29:01
  It doesn't cost anything. You want to become a leading
• 2:29:04
  voice in agriculture. You hear that there's a
• 2:29:06
  conference in UK or in Kenya or in Nigeria and you are absent.
• 2:29:11
  You're not there. Registering your presence alone
• 2:29:15
  can help you meet strategic people.
• 2:29:18
  They they consider you serious. God gives you the honor of
• 2:29:23
  snapping photos with the people, Pictures and messages.
• 2:29:27
  Let us make money in our image image.
• 2:29:31
  The image before you matters. I hope I'm not wasting your
• 2:29:39
  time. There are many real estate
• 2:29:43
  people here. You've not built one house and
• 2:29:46
  you are begging not because you lack capacity.
• 2:29:49
  Those who need you do not know you are there.
• 2:29:51
  Strategic relationships going to beg for opportunities will never
• 2:29:57
  give you opportunities. Use the way of value.
• 2:30:02
  Package your products. Take it to the relevant people
• 2:30:05
  just to help you see, there are people who have done that.
• 2:30:09
  Apostle, just to let you know that there's an opportunity like
• 2:30:11
  that. I got to find out somebody in
• 2:30:14
  this ministry who is responsible for arranging to for those who
• 2:30:19
  want to buy aircrafts. And he just said, I possibly
• 2:30:22
  know anybody in the world who wants to buy aircraft.
• 2:30:25
  God has given me an opportunity, not just private jets, aircraft.
• 2:30:30
  I thought it was a joke until he sent me the documentation of it
• 2:30:33
  was an opportunity God gave him. I said, my God, some of you here
• 2:30:42
  organize weddings. If you organize any program, it
• 2:30:46
  will not fail. It's a grace God gave you.
• 2:30:48
  What are you doing? You are still begging.
• 2:30:51
  You organize birthdays or programs, it will not fail.
• 2:30:55
  Listen, why do you allow resources to pass you to go to
• 2:31:00
  people that may be less skilled than you but have a better
• 2:31:03
  network? There are people today who will
• 2:31:06
  receive blessings not because of who they are, but because who or
• 2:31:10
  who they are connected to. It's a leverage.
• 2:31:14
  It's a leverage or speaking to a gentleman who was really angry
• 2:31:20
  because he lost the job, you know, the job, the downsizing,
• 2:31:23
  you said, and the rest. And he really felt bad and he
• 2:31:26
  was discussing with me said, I mean, I really felt bad.
• 2:31:29
  It's not like I'm lacking food to eat, but I'm, I really,
• 2:31:32
  really, I thought they would retain me.
• 2:31:34
  And I told him, I said, my friend, getting angry will not
• 2:31:38
  solve your problem. You have a rare qualification,
• 2:31:41
  haven't worked with you said before.
• 2:31:43
  How many people have that create something.
• 2:31:46
  You can be a board member for many people just with that
• 2:31:49
  credibility. You won't fail.
• 2:31:57
  Oh, how many professors today? With all due respect, let me
• 2:32:02
  challenge you academicians. You are a doctor.
• 2:32:06
  You are a professor. There are many people today who
• 2:32:09
  cannot register certain institutions by law until they
• 2:32:12
  have someone with your qualification.
• 2:32:15
  Why don't you turn your qualification to value?
• 2:32:18
  You are a professor and you are struggling.
• 2:32:21
  There are many institutions that cannot be accredited today
• 2:32:24
  because they do not have enough professors.
• 2:32:26
  Your presence, man that is in honor and knoweth not, will be
• 2:32:32
  like a beast in the field that perishes.
• 2:32:35
  I made-up my mind that my relevance as a man of God will
• 2:32:38
  not stop on the pulpit. That means if I'm not preaching,
• 2:32:42
  I become a known entity everywhere else.
• 2:32:44
  God forbid, God forbid, God forbid, Sir, if I am not on the
• 2:32:52
  pulpit preaching, I'm advising governments.
• 2:32:55
  If I'm not advising governments, I'm raising leaders, I'm doing
• 2:32:59
  something else. I would not be a known entity.
• 2:33:01
  It is called value. Anywhere favour comes, it will
• 2:33:06
  find you there. From the left, there's a place
• 2:33:09
  for you there. From the right, there's a place
• 2:33:11
  for you there. I learned that from Doctor Miles
• 2:33:14
  Monroe. He was a great man of God.
• 2:33:16
  Run. I think, I hope he still saw the
• 2:33:18
  largest church then in Bahamas. But he was an advisor to
• 2:33:22
  presidents. He was an advisor to leaders.
• 2:33:25
  He held symposium of, you know, leaders, third world leaders.
• 2:33:29
  He spoke at Parliament of Nations.
• 2:33:32
  And I said this is a representation of a true
• 2:33:34
  Apostolic grace. It shouldn't just end on the
• 2:33:36
  pulpit. Some of you are tech giants.
• 2:33:43
  You've not been able to bring up one app.
• 2:33:46
  You started it and lazily left it away until someone else
• 2:33:50
  brought it out. And you say I hope this guy is
• 2:33:52
  not plagiarizing my work. Unfortunately ideas are like
• 2:33:55
  rain. If you don't take them serious,
• 2:33:58
  the person who believes it more than you will push it forward.
• 2:34:02
  Applications one time we're having during our workers in the
• 2:34:06
  US, we talked about something, you know about some applications
• 2:34:10
  and some four guys just got up there working some of the top,
• 2:34:14
  you know, big tech companies they said are possible.
• 2:34:17
  We can come together and we can design something.
• 2:34:19
  You have the resources in house. One of my greatest blessings is
• 2:34:25
  not only that I believe in God, I believe in myself.
• 2:34:29
  There is an energy that comes when you believe in yourself.
• 2:34:31
  I pray for you, any voice lying to you that you are a nonentity,
• 2:34:36
  stopping you from connecting to the right people in the name
• 2:34:40
  that is above all names. I declare that voice is silence
• 2:34:43
  over your life. Hallelujah.
• 2:34:52
  I know someone today who's made a lot of money with your God.
• 2:34:57
  Your God, they don't have the cows, but they have an
• 2:35:01
  arrangement with those who have the cows and God is using it to
• 2:35:04
  bless them. Please don't be lazy.
• 2:35:07
  Don't be lazy in the name of Jesus, don't be lazy.
• 2:35:11
  My precious people, some of the international people, there's,
• 2:35:14
  there's clothes and a lot of clothes in Ghana.
• 2:35:16
  Where else? Again, next time you are coming
• 2:35:19
  for Kunonia, don't just come to receive.
• 2:35:21
  Carry your material and look for someone you can come into
• 2:35:23
  partnership with, a written partnership.
• 2:35:26
  This is where some of you who are lawyers are there.
• 2:35:29
  Don't wait until somebody steals before you find a job.
• 2:35:33
  No, no, there are many other things to do.
• 2:35:40
  There are many young children. Some of you can set up
• 2:35:43
  organizations for autistic children and learning for people
• 2:35:46
  who are special children. We don't have many of that in
• 2:35:50
  Nigeria, I tell you. And there are many families
• 2:35:53
  looking for those structures. They will pay even if it's
• 2:35:56
  millions. There's no home for the elderly.
• 2:36:01
  There's hardly homes for the elderly.
• 2:36:02
  Nigeria who rather the person dies in our home or we lose our
• 2:36:06
  job abroad because they are busy.
• 2:36:08
  They have structures like that. I'm speaking to the globe and
• 2:36:13
  I'm encouraging you. Many people are following.
• 2:36:15
  Don't bring superstition to this issue of wealth.
• 2:36:18
  If there's no productivity and there's no strategic networking,
• 2:36:24
  networking. Listen, body of Christ, we're
• 2:36:27
  coming into a realm where our wealth will be Commonwealth.
• 2:36:32
  You know what Commonwealth is? Shout Amen first.
• 2:36:35
  Now let me explain to you what Commonwealth is.
• 2:36:38
  The firm is owned by a believer. The tractor is owned by a
• 2:36:43
  believer. The fertilizer is produced by a
• 2:36:46
  believer. The cows are managed by
• 2:36:48
  believers. The dairy managed by believers.
• 2:36:52
  The transporters managed by believers.
• 2:36:55
  The exporters managed by believers.
• 2:36:57
  The legal entities are believers.
• 2:37:00
  The final consumers are believers.
• 2:37:02
  It recycles wealth within an ecosystem.
• 2:37:06
  Study the Middle East. Study some of the finest
• 2:37:09
  business people across territories.
• 2:37:12
  It is Commonwealth wealth never goes out of their system.
• 2:37:17
  But here you carry all the monies and take it far.
• 2:37:21
  Are you see now it's one of the reasons why many churches are
• 2:37:24
  poor. So the connection comes, but
• 2:37:27
  every service is provided outside.
• 2:37:34
  This is not a business meeting. Let me give you the last point.
• 2:37:36
  I'm praying this is a preacher talking now.
• 2:37:43
  Number six, the 6th key. I hope I'm adding something to
• 2:37:49
  your life. The 6th key to building lasting
• 2:37:53
  wealth. We're wrapping up.
• 2:37:56
  Build emotional strength and resilience.
• 2:38:00
  Build emotional strength and resilience.
• 2:38:02
  Hebrew 6:15 Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, no matter
• 2:38:07
  what prayer you pray, the journey to lasting wealth and
• 2:38:11
  abundance will have rough roads. Eventually you will need
• 2:38:15
  emotional strength and resilience, the capacity to
• 2:38:19
  weary failure until it leaves you.
• 2:38:22
  Just because God said go forward does not mean there will not be
• 2:38:26
  mountains. Weary failure.
• 2:38:30
  Weary Failure wearing failure apostle.
• 2:38:34
  I started a barbing saloon and there's no one there.
• 2:38:36
  I've been losing. Don't worry.
• 2:38:38
  You need emotional strength. Don't take things too
• 2:38:41
  emotionally. I started a football club and
• 2:38:44
  nobody's coming. Everybody's leaving me.
• 2:38:46
  Don't worry. You can re strategize.
• 2:38:48
  There's something in business called failing forward.
• 2:38:51
  You can fail forward. You can fail forward.
• 2:38:55
  Failure as an event, not as a person.
• 2:39:00
  Fail early so that you can go forward, because failure is a
• 2:39:04
  pathway, it leads to success. The earlier you fail, the
• 2:39:08
  quicker you arrive. Failure is like a tunnel on the
• 2:39:13
  road to success. Unfortunately, you can't pray it
• 2:39:15
  away. You can only pray for grace to
• 2:39:18
  pass through it without being drowned.
• 2:39:19
  Fear not, have redeemed you, have called you by name.
• 2:39:21
  You are mine when you pass through the waters, when you
• 2:39:24
  pass through the rivers, when you walk through the fire.
• 2:39:28
  It didn't say I will take you out of it.
• 2:39:30
  I will be with you. If you are Shadrack, Meshach and
• 2:39:33
  Abednego, he will be with you and he will come out.
• 2:39:36
  But if you are not Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, you will
• 2:39:39
  pass through the fire. It will refine you.
• 2:39:42
  I pray for you for emotional strength in the name of Jesus
• 2:39:46
  Christ, I suppose. I started a business and I I
• 2:39:50
  wanted to bring in clothes. I trusted the wrong person.
• 2:39:53
  The person scammed me. Welcome to the school of
• 2:39:56
  knowledge. Let me tell you something I've
• 2:39:57
  taught you here, Koinonia. In the school of wisdom, every
• 2:40:01
  money you lose will be refunded back when you graduate.
• 2:40:05
  Take it from me. It doesn't matter the billions
• 2:40:08
  you lose if you are in the school of wisdom and you stay
• 2:40:13
  through till you finish, I assure you.
• 2:40:16
  That money you lost will come back to you.
• 2:40:18
  Take it as your school fees, your tuition fee every time you
• 2:40:23
  lose while going forward, take it as your tuition fee in the
• 2:40:28
  school of wisdom, your refunds will come.
• 2:40:33
  Is someone learning now? Emotional strength.
• 2:40:41
  I wish I would tell you that after an impartation, it will
• 2:40:44
  not happen automatically. I wouldn't come here to lie to
• 2:40:47
  you and deceive you and tell you as soon as you start the
• 2:40:50
  business. Those who have succeeded in
• 2:40:52
  life, in career, in business, even in ministry, they've gone
• 2:40:57
  through times of failure. Beyond your imagination.
• 2:41:01
  Beyond your imagination I tell you one of our fathers of faith
• 2:41:04
  was telling me the story on how they started buying their
• 2:41:07
  properties and some of the challenges they met.
• 2:41:09
  And I was just at a point I was not even listening to what he
• 2:41:12
  was saying, I was just setting my gaze on him.
• 2:41:14
  That a man can suffer and go to disappointments like this,
• 2:41:18
  trusting people, the betrayals, but at the end of it was
• 2:41:21
  victory. You are not the first to be
• 2:41:23
  betrayed. You are not the first to be
• 2:41:25
  scammed. Don't take it too personal, re
• 2:41:28
  engineer yourself. Gather emotional strength and
• 2:41:31
  push forward. The strength it takes to regret
• 2:41:34
  and complain is the same strength it takes to move
• 2:41:37
  forward. Say I go forward prophecy like
• 2:41:41
  you are angry with your past. Say I go, forward go.
• 2:41:45
  Forward, go forward. Master, we have toiled all
• 2:41:48
  night. You need emotional strength to
• 2:41:50
  still remain in the sea even when there's no fish.
• 2:41:53
  If you had left the sea, a miracle will not come.
• 2:41:56
  Even though he was already cleaning his net, but he was
• 2:41:59
  still giving the sea a chance again.
• 2:42:01
  And Jesus said, cast your net. Let me tell you ladies and
• 2:42:05
  gentlemen, champions are not just men who succeed.
• 2:42:10
  They are men who fail without bending, fail without giving up,
• 2:42:15
  fail without taking it personal. They re engineer themselves.
• 2:42:18
  OK, this did not work. I'm into car importation.
• 2:42:22
  There were things I did not know.
• 2:42:23
  I imported the car. I found out they scammed me.
• 2:42:26
  I'm sad I'm not. You know, I had to go and write
• 2:42:28
  the report. You may be saying, but I've
• 2:42:30
  learned. I'm into real estate.
• 2:42:32
  I did not know they sold me a land that had a contention.
• 2:42:35
  Now I am learning. No matter how educated you are,
• 2:42:39
  there are things you will never learn in class.
• 2:42:41
  You will learn on the field. Do you?
• 2:42:43
  What I said, no amount of education will immune you from
• 2:42:47
  the blessings of experience. So get used to it.
• 2:42:53
  When you pray for grace, it's not always grace for exemption.
• 2:42:56
  Sometimes it's grace to pass through.
• 2:42:58
  Let me give you the last one. Are you ready?
• 2:43:08
  Cry out for spiritual empowerment?
• 2:43:12
  Deuteronomy 818 Cry out for spiritual empowerment to be free
• 2:43:22
  from poverty and lack and want. I show you a road map, a
• 2:43:26
  biblical road map to true economic emancipation.
• 2:43:30
  When all is said and done, there is a God factor, Koinonia.
• 2:43:36
  I have taught you Genesis, one verse one in the beginning.
• 2:43:40
  God, don't change the formula. Don't change the formula.
• 2:43:45
  You tamper with the formula. You may succeed for a while and
• 2:43:49
  fail one day. The day you need success the
• 2:43:52
  most. In the beginning of my business,
• 2:43:55
  God, in the beginning of my studies.
• 2:43:58
  God. In the beginning of my journey,
• 2:44:01
  God. In the beginning of every day
• 2:44:03
  God the Bible says trust in the Lord with all your heart.
• 2:44:07
  Proverbs 35 and lean not onto your own understanding.
• 2:44:10
  It says in all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall
• 2:44:15
  direct your path. Verse 7 says be not wise in your
• 2:44:19
  own understanding. He says fear the Lord and depart
• 2:44:22
  from evil. I don't know about you, but
• 2:44:28
  there is nothing in my life that God cannot be involved with.
• 2:44:33
  He's eternally Alpha and eternally Omega.
• 2:44:38
  I will not start by my strength and later invite him to come.
• 2:44:42
  I've learned that life without Jesus is a risk, so I will not
• 2:44:46
  even try it. Don't say.
• 2:44:48
  Well, Apostle, your ministry mind is business.
• 2:44:51
  I'm not sure I need Jesus. You need anymore.
• 2:44:53
  You need more, Sir, You need more.
• 2:44:56
  We're going to pray and I'm going to impart grace upon you.
• 2:45:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, there truly is the power to prosper.
• 2:45:04
  I assure you, by the God of heaven, I assure you, by the God
• 2:45:08
  of heaven, there is the power to prosper and I've taught you how
• 2:45:12
  it works. The power to prosper does not
• 2:45:14
  manufacture money magically. No, that's the assignment of
• 2:45:17
  favor. The power to prosper is a
• 2:45:19
  spiritual empowerment, is a dimension of the empowerment of
• 2:45:23
  the Holy Ghost that comes upon a man.
• 2:45:26
  It comes upon a man at 3 levels. Number one, it comes upon your
• 2:45:30
  mind. It grants you at a heightened
• 2:45:33
  capacity to understand. It alters your sense of
• 2:45:38
  understanding so that you are able to understand like Elihu.
• 2:45:42
  But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty
• 2:45:45
  makes men of understanding #2 the power to prosper comes upon
• 2:45:49
  your hands or the works of your hands.
• 2:45:52
  It engenders extraordinary productivity, giving you ideas
• 2:45:57
  that become a leverage towards excellence #3 the power to
• 2:46:02
  prosper rest upon your feet, giving you strategic direction
• 2:46:06
  to know where to go to and to know who to connect to.
• 2:46:09
  Your head, your hand, your feet, the power to prosper.
• 2:46:14
  There's nothing superstitious about it.
• 2:46:16
  We make it look superstitious in church, and people shout Amen,
• 2:46:20
  but they really don't know what has happened to them.
• 2:46:24
  When you shout Amen in receiving the power to prosper, you are
• 2:46:27
  saying, I received the grace that provides extraordinary
• 2:46:30
  illumination. The Holy Ghost quickening my
• 2:46:33
  understanding, granting me capacity to understand at a
• 2:46:37
  heightened dimension #2 the blessings upon my hands, giving
• 2:46:42
  me ideas that translate value to productivity, serving it with
• 2:46:48
  excellence #3 giving me direction and guidance so that I
• 2:46:52
  go to the right places, meeting the right people.
• 2:46:55
  Is someone ready to pray? Once you are seated, hold the
• 2:46:58
  hands of someone by your left and right.
• 2:47:00
  Begin to pray in the Spirit. I will ask you to stand up, but
• 2:47:03
  for now, be seated. Hold the hands of someone, and I
• 2:47:06
  want you to pray. Please, as you are praying, make
• 2:47:08
  sure your neighbor is praying. This is serious business.
• 2:47:11
  The next 5 minutes will be in partition.
• 2:47:13
  You are about to receive something from heaven that will
• 2:47:16
  change your life. Freedom from luck, freedom from
• 2:47:21
  poverty, freedom from want for the sake of a life of dignity,
• 2:47:27
  for the sake of the Kingdom. The road map to economic
• 2:47:34
  emancipation. Shaprakata peleka parakata.
• 2:47:41
  One minute Shanamanakata brandas katapeleka paratos.
• 2:47:55
  The hand of God is upon me, gives me speed.
• 2:48:01
  Everyone pray. One minute, lift your voice and
• 2:48:32
  pray. One minute you are praying.
• 2:50:07
  I like you to think about your life.
• 2:50:10
  Think about the new season. See limitations breaking in your
• 2:50:14
  life. See yourself rising financially
• 2:50:19
  without compromise. See yourself rising by the
• 2:50:22
  spirit, paying off your debts, taking care of your children,
• 2:50:28
  giving to the work of the Kingdom, living a life of
• 2:50:31
  dignity. Financial dominion.
• 2:50:35
  Not by crooks, not by gimmicks, not by incomplete propositions.
• 2:50:42
  Following the path of nobility. A road map that does not fail.
• 2:50:49
  A road map that cannot fail. Hallelujah.
• 2:51:05
  Listen to me, listen to me, I made-up my mind as a preacher.
• 2:51:13
  I watched the way preachers went under so much pressure for
• 2:51:19
  finances, for their personal lives.
• 2:51:22
  I watched the way many young people left God because they saw
• 2:51:26
  their parents serve the Lord as reverence, as pastors, as
• 2:51:30
  missionaries, and yet their needs could not be met.
• 2:51:34
  And the children who should take over that mantle, they hated God
• 2:51:39
  because they said what kind of a God is this?
• 2:51:41
  My father spent his life serving God with integrity and yet he
• 2:51:46
  could not afford good meals. It was a bad idea of God that
• 2:51:51
  was sold. Today there is a generation that
• 2:51:54
  hates anything. Church hates anything.
• 2:51:57
  Christianity hates anything God. You mentioned God that will
• 2:52:01
  insult you to your face. They will tell you we've not
• 2:52:03
  seen any benefit of serving him. Many people today in Africa are
• 2:52:09
  returning back to idol worship because they are saying, you
• 2:52:12
  know what, before we came to Jesus Christ, maybe we did not
• 2:52:17
  have Peace of Mind, but at least we could consult with those
• 2:52:20
  spirits and we will farm and it will give us a bumper harvest.
• 2:52:24
  Now you told us to live idol worship and come to Jesus and we
• 2:52:28
  are dying of hunger and you are saying it does not matter, just
• 2:52:31
  love Jesus and forget about the hunger.
• 2:52:33
  And you are saying what kind of a Jesus are you serving that
• 2:52:36
  will ask me to love him in spite of my hunger and at least not do
• 2:52:40
  anything about it? The idols that our parents
• 2:52:47
  worshiped were not only mindful of their allegiance, they were
• 2:52:51
  mindful of their welfare. The idols protected them from
• 2:52:54
  war. The idols protected them from
• 2:52:57
  economic hardship. They bow to the idols and the
• 2:53:01
  idols delivered today we come and say don't go back to the
• 2:53:04
  villages, don't practice occultism, serve only Jesus.
• 2:53:08
  And you want children impoverished while their parents
• 2:53:11
  try to serve Jesus. And we say it does not matter,
• 2:53:14
  just keep serving. That's how it is.
• 2:53:16
  That's not how it is, Sir. That's your idea of how it is.
• 2:53:19
  There is victory when we serve the Lord.
• 2:53:22
  There is victory, including economic victory.
• 2:53:25
  It is not all about money. But ladies and gentlemen, there
• 2:53:28
  is a place where the value of your loving Jesus can translate
• 2:53:33
  to a life of dignity. Even if not for your sake, for
• 2:53:37
  the sake of your children, I'd like you to pray.
• 2:53:40
  Father, from today, I make a covenant.
• 2:53:43
  My children will not go through my financial hardship.
• 2:53:46
  Go ahead and pray. Think less about yourself.
• 2:53:49
  Pray over your children. Bond on bond.
• 2:53:52
  Lift your voice and pray. Now that I found this key, I
• 2:53:57
  intercede for the generation coming.
• 2:53:59
  They will not serve the devil because of financial
• 2:54:03
  incapacitation. Go ahead and pray, rashabala
• 2:54:10
  tapaka prankas katapalakata. Young ministers will not enter.
• 2:54:17
  They won't get into their policies and wrong practices
• 2:54:21
  simply because they want economic empowerment.
• 2:54:26
  There is a Kingdom way. Parents will not lose their
• 2:54:42
  children because of lack of finances.
• 2:54:47
  Children will not lose their parents because of lack of
• 2:54:51
  finances. In Jesus name I want to speak
• 2:55:02
  over your life now. Impartations are.
• 2:55:06
  Real, it is true. Impartations are real.
• 2:55:11
  Impartations are real. To impart means to transfer
• 2:55:15
  grace. You cannot give what you don't
• 2:55:18
  have. You can talk about what you
• 2:55:21
  don't have, but you cannot give what you don't have.
• 2:55:25
  There are few people who have born with financial leverage
• 2:55:29
  through tears, through blood, through pain, through mistakes,
• 2:55:34
  through the mercy of God. There are many who have found
• 2:55:37
  their way out. And the Bible says to comfort
• 2:55:40
  one another with the same comfort you have received.
• 2:55:43
  Colonial, global, those falling online.
• 2:55:46
  And to those of us who are here, I don't claim to know
• 2:55:49
  everything. I will be arrogant to say that
• 2:55:54
  no, I'm not some business guru. I'm not some investment guru.
• 2:55:58
  But one thing I can tell you is I am a beneficiary of the grace,
• 2:56:04
  the power to prosper. I know it is real.
• 2:56:07
  It is no gimmicks. It is no gimmicks.
• 2:56:10
  It is just that it must rest upon the foundation of what you
• 2:56:13
  have been taught, but by the privilege of the mercy of God,
• 2:56:17
  out of the little help that God has shown.
• 2:56:20
  I want to speak over your life to those who have the hearts to
• 2:56:23
  believe, to the businesses that have the hearts to believe, to
• 2:56:26
  the conglomerates that have the heart to believe.
• 2:56:29
  No matter how far you have gone, let me tell you, there is still
• 2:56:32
  another height. There is still another layer.
• 2:56:34
  In the name of Jesus, I pray over you.
• 2:56:38
  I pray over the works of your hands.
• 2:56:40
  Be blessed, be blessed, be blessed, be blessed, be blessed.
• 2:57:02
  Ideas like rain, may they fall upon your mind.
• 2:57:07
  Ideas like rain, wealth generating ideas.
• 2:57:12
  I release it from the throne to your mind.
• 2:57:16
  In the name of Jesus, I pray for you every area of gifting, every
• 2:57:23
  area of value that has not brought you profit by the power
• 2:57:27
  that raised Christ from the dead.
• 2:57:29
  I push you to the realm of prophet, and I will give you the
• 2:57:36
  treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places.
• 2:57:40
  I pray for you. May your eyes see what others
• 2:57:43
  don't see. May your eyes see what others
• 2:57:48
  don't see. In the name of Jesus, the
• 2:57:53
  strategic networks and relationships that must step
• 2:57:58
  into your life in this season to help lift up your hands.
• 2:58:02
  I cry unto the God of heaven between now and the end of
• 2:58:06
  December, by the power that raised Christ from the dead, and
• 2:58:10
  counter those relationships. Global connections for you,
• 2:58:18
  regional connections for you. Local connections for you.
• 2:58:24
  I say it again, global connections for you.
• 2:58:28
  Regional connections for you. Territorial connections for you.
• 2:58:33
  Yeah, me. Anyone in high places who has
• 2:58:38
  what it takes to be a leverage for you, I decree and declare.
• 2:58:42
  May God use them to lift you. May God use them to lift you.
• 2:58:49
  Hear me, some of you. Right now you are at the second
• 2:58:56
  part of Pharaoh's dream. The lean cows are eating your
• 2:59:00
  fat cows. A season of plenty has just gone
• 2:59:05
  in your life, and you are in an aggressive season of famine.
• 2:59:10
  They are taken for a prey and non say restore.
• 2:59:13
  Let me prophecy upon you. He said, Destroy it not, for
• 2:59:16
  there is a blessing in it. I decree and declare everything
• 2:59:20
  that should die are pointed unto death, because you came here.
• 2:59:25
  I declare exemption for you, exemption for you, exemption for
• 2:59:33
  your family. Hear me every stunted business,
• 2:59:40
  dying business, bleeding business, dead business.
• 2:59:46
  Hear the word of the Lord. Come back to life now.
• 2:59:53
  Come back to life now. What it is?
• 2:59:57
  Ministry, academics, music, tech, politics, professional
• 3:00:04
  life. Go and prosper.
• 3:00:07
  Go and prosper. Go and prosper.
• 3:00:11
  Prosper by righteousness, prosper by wisdom, prosper with
• 3:00:16
  integrity, prosper without compromise.
• 3:00:20
  Last in wealth, last in abundance, Peace of Mind.
• 3:00:26
  In the name of Jesus, for someone here, I hold your hands
• 3:00:32
  prophetically. I bring you to a realm of
• 3:00:34
  transgenerational wealth. I'm saying it again for someone
• 3:00:41
  following online, by the mercies of the God of heaven, I hold
• 3:00:46
  your hands prophetically. I usher you to a realm of
• 3:00:49
  transgenerational world where to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and
• 3:00:57
  Jacob in the name of Jesus. Every struggling church, every
• 3:01:04
  struggling pastor, every struggling missionary, I decree
• 3:01:08
  and declare. May God send you help out of
• 3:01:11
  Zion. Now hear me, I sense in my
• 3:01:16
  spirit to pray for those who are owing.
• 3:01:18
  If you are in debt, I want to pray for you.
• 3:01:21
  Believe in the prophetic, by the power that raise Christ from the
• 3:01:25
  dead. Whether it's your business that
• 3:01:27
  is in debt or your family that is in debt, or you made
• 3:01:31
  mistakes, investment mistakes, you lost money, you are in
• 3:01:35
  trouble. I pray for you.
• 3:01:37
  By the power that race crash from the dead, May God show you
• 3:01:41
  mercy speedily, mercy speedily, mercy speedily, mercy speedily.
• 3:01:51
  Shall they say in the name of Jesus?
• 3:01:54
  I declare by faith in the Word of God that I step in into the
• 3:02:03
  season of abundance by righteousness, Abundance with
• 3:02:10
  integrity, Abundance while loving Jesus, abundance while
• 3:02:17
  serving Jesus, Abundance for my comfort, abundance for Kingdom
• 3:02:24
  advance, Abundance to be a blessing to my world.
• 3:02:29
  I decree every curse, every spirit, every mindset, every
• 3:02:36
  habit that's causing poverty in my life and my lineage right
• 3:02:43
  now. It ceases to function.
• 3:02:47
  I am a brand new person with a brand new mindset making brand
• 3:02:53
  new decisions. I envisage a brand new destiny.
• 3:02:57
  I declare financially I go forward, economically I go
• 3:03:05
  forward. No going back in Jesus name.
• 3:03:09
  Give Jesus a hand, clap everyone stand.
• 3:03:23
  You need Jesus. You have money without Jesus,
• 3:03:27
  you have done well, but you are still going to hell.
• 3:03:30
  Even though I've taught around the area of finances, it still
• 3:03:33
  starts and ends with Jesus. For someone here you are saying
• 3:03:36
  apostle even though your teaching tonight has centered
• 3:03:39
  around finances, but the Holy Ghost kept penetrating my heart
• 3:03:43
  that you are not even in the fold.
• 3:03:46
  You need to make it right with Jesus tonight.
• 3:03:49
  I'm looking for one sincere person who is saying apostle.
• 3:03:52
  I truly need to make it right with Jesus.
• 3:03:54
  I do not want to return back home the way I came.
• 3:03:57
  Whether you are outside any of the overflows, across the
• 3:04:01
  balcony now, here, seated or online, I want to give you one
• 3:04:06
  minute to make it right with Jesus.
• 3:04:08
  Would you pick your bags? Your Bibles?
• 3:04:11
  Everything you came to church with is the way, is the truth
• 3:04:13
  and life. Please make your way to the
• 3:04:15
  front if you are coming. I just need one sincere person
• 3:04:19
  and any other person who will join him.
• 3:04:21
  There's a brother coming. Keep clapping.
• 3:04:23
  God bless you Sir. God bless you, Sir.
• 3:04:26
  So, Anonya, is this how you celebrate salvation?
• 3:04:28
  God bless you, Sir. God bless you, my sister.
• 3:04:32
  He can give you what money can buy, but he can give you eternal
• 3:04:36
  life that is greater than what money can buy.
• 3:04:40
  True riches. God bless you 2.
• 3:04:44
  I count 5. And then we begin to pray three.
• 3:04:48
  If there are any ones coming from outside, please make haste
• 3:04:51
  come very quickly. God bless you, Sir.
• 3:04:53
  God bless you, Ma 4. Come, come, come, Koinonia.
• 3:05:01
  Keep clapping until they're here.
• 3:05:04
  God will give you a new beginning.
• 3:05:05
  God bless you. God bless you.
• 3:05:08
  You want to make it right with Jesus.
• 3:05:09
  God bless you. God bless you.
• 3:05:13
  Final count 5. If you're still here to join
• 3:05:16
  them, please make haste very quickly.
• 3:05:19
  Hallelujah. And to the ones who are saying
• 3:05:22
  apostle, you cannot see me, I'm at the other side of your
• 3:05:25
  camera, but I need to make it right with Jesus as I leave this
• 3:05:28
  once in prayer, please do join. Join knowing that He's able to
• 3:05:32
  give you a new beginning right now.
• 3:05:35
  He said as many who will come to him, he will know.
• 3:05:36
  Wise castaway, would you lift your right hand?
• 3:05:39
  Those of you who are here as a sign of surrender and those who
• 3:05:42
  are in your home, your office, just lift your hand right in
• 3:05:45
  your room, wherever it is that you are, and make this prayer of
• 3:05:48
  confession. Let it be from the depth of your
• 3:05:50
  heart. Say Lord Jesus tonight.
• 3:05:53
  I have heard your word and through your word I have seen
• 3:05:58
  the love of Jesus. I believe you are the Son of
• 3:06:02
  God. I believe you died on the cross
• 3:06:06
  for my sins. I believe you rose again for my
• 3:06:11
  justification. Right now I receive Jesus into
• 3:06:16
  my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my King.
• 3:06:21
  I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is
• 3:06:29
  broken over my life from tonight.
• 3:06:33
  I'm a child of God. I go forward ever and backward
• 3:06:36
  never. Amen.
• 3:06:38
  With your hands still lifted, Father.
• 3:06:39
  Thank you for this ones, the ones on site and the many
• 3:06:42
  online. The Bible says as many who will
• 3:06:45
  come to you, you will in no wise castaway.
• 3:06:47
  This ones have come declaring your lordship.
• 3:06:49
  I speak the blessing over them and I declare it is well with
• 3:06:52
  them from today. They go forward ever and back
• 3:06:56
  whatever I call them bona fide recipients of your life.
• 3:06:59
  The grace to live the victorious life is imparted upon them and
• 3:07:03
  they live for Jesus, knowing him, loving him and serving him
• 3:07:07
  all the days of their lives for is in Jesus much less name.
• 3:07:10
  We have prayed. God bless you.
• 3:07:12
  To my left, ladies and gentlemen, or my right, that
• 3:07:15
  will be your left. There are counselors who will
• 3:07:17
  have a word and a quick prayer with you, after which you return
• 3:07:20
  back to your seat. God bless you.
• 3:07:21
  Let's honor them as they go. Let's honor them, everyone.
• 3:07:24
  God bless you. God bless you.
• 3:07:27
  Thank you, thank you. They will have a quick word with
• 3:07:30
  you and then you are back to your seat.
• 3:07:32
  Hallelujah. Thank you very much for your
• 3:07:34
  patience to our international guests, to all who have made the
• 3:07:37
  time to remind you again one last time.
• 3:07:39
  This week we're in Zaria and then we're having our final
• 3:07:43
  Koinonia service for 2025. Next week is going to be an
• 3:07:48
  awesome time by the power of God, so take note.
• 3:07:52
  That's the schedule for Zarya. For those of you around the
• 3:07:55
  north who are able to make it, it'll be a great time to
• 3:07:57
  fellowship together, but we should all be here.
• 3:07:59
  Come with your dancing shoes. We're going to be celebrating
• 3:08:02
  the God of all grace. The Washington will be blowing
• 3:08:04
  up this place on Sunday and we'll just rejoice.
• 3:08:07
  Make sure you pray, plan, prepare your end of year
• 3:08:10
  sacrifice. We'll be giving you an
• 3:08:12
  opportunity to give. And then we'll wrap up
• 3:08:15
  officially with the final instructions for the resumption
• 3:08:18
  for School of Ministry as specialized versions for UK and
• 3:08:23
  Canada representing North America.
• 3:08:25
  I think it should still be on. So do take note of it.
• 3:08:27
  Media, probably you can place all of this on our platforms so
• 3:08:31
  that the people can have access to it.
• 3:08:32
  And then for our main session in Zaria and Abuja, doors are open.
• 3:08:39
  Please do rush to apply. The Lord bless you.
• 3:08:42
  The Lord increase you in Jesus name.
• 3:08:44
  I declare your weak beginning blessed.
• 3:08:47
  I declare your weak beginning blessed.
• 3:08:50
  You are blessed in the city and you are blessed in the country.
• 3:08:53
  Everything good comes to you this week.
• 3:08:56
  It will be good news from Sunday to Sunday.
• 3:08:59
  No tears, no crying in the name of Jesus, no losses, no failure
• 3:09:05
  in the name of Jesus. This word you have received.
• 3:09:08
  May you see the evidence of it this week.
• 3:09:10
  In the matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen and Amen.
• 3:09:14
  Together let's share the grace and fellowship, the grace of our
• 3:09:17
  Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the
• 3:09:20
  Holy Spirit. Rest and abide with us now and
• 3:09:23
  forever. Amen.
• 3:09:24
  Surely God's goodness and mercies follow us all the days
• 3:09:28
  of our lives as we dwell in the House of the Lord.
• 3:09:30
  And it's forever and ever, Amen. God bless you, see you through
• 3:09:34
  the week and then on Sunday.
