  hunger for.

  Speaker 4: Can you cry out your expectations to the Lord this
• 0:57
  morning in prayer, Give me a name encounter that will
• 1:01
  change my life. Indeed, someone is praying, let it be
• 1:07
  from the depth of your heart. I have come to
• 1:10
  encounter your grace, to encounter your wisdom, to encounter your power,
• 1:26
  shell seprecative in Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: The Bible says they.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Go from strength to strength as many as appear before
• 1:46
  the Lord in Zion, Allelujah. One of the many things
• 1:50
  that happens when we're in his presence is that we're empowered,
• 1:54
  empowered to become, not just empowered to receive.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You can receive without becoming.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: But the Bible says, the people that do know their God,
• 2:07
  they shall be, then they shall do. When you do
• 2:12
  without being, there is no longevity to it. Allelujah. It
• 2:18
  starts with knowledge. Then you become, then you can do.
• 2:24
  May the Lord help us this morning in Jesus' name,
• 2:28
  but not thank you again, thank you for this opportunity
• 2:31
  and sincerely appreciate Please be seated.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Allelujah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: This morning, I'm teaching, and my teaching also doubles as
• 2:48
  a prophetic word that the Lord gave me to declare
• 2:52
  onto someone. And the title of our discussion this morning
• 2:57
  is go forward. It is not just a topic, it
• 3:02
  is also a prophetic word. And up front, let me
• 3:05
  declare over someone. Listen to me. Go forward does not
• 3:10
  mean to move. You are only forward when the next
• 3:13
  step becomes ahead of the former. Step away together. If
• 3:18
  I move this way, I am moving, but I am
• 3:21
  not going forward. Forward means that it has to be
• 3:25
  incremental steps. Therefore, I declare onto someone in the name
• 3:30
  of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, by reason
• 3:33
  of today and this teaching, go forward, go forward in
• 3:39
  Jesus' name. Exodus, chapter fourteen and verse fifteen. This was
• 3:45
  the prophetic instruction that God gave Moses onto the children
• 3:51
  of Israel. They stood before the Red Sea, the Egyptians
• 3:55
  behind them, coming with fierce anger. And the Lord said,
• 3:59
  unto Moses, wherefore thou crierst onto me? He said, speak
• 4:04
  onto the children of Israel, that they go forward regardless
• 4:11
  the Red sea before them, regardless the Egyptians behind them,
• 4:15
  regardless their discouragement.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: The instruction did not change.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Go forward Allelujah, regardless the economy, regardless post COVID implications,
• 4:25
  regardless whatever it is. The instruction does not change. He said,
• 4:30
  go forward, Allelujah. First Sawel Chapter twelve and verse six
• 4:37
  were examining this morning the principles that make for strategic advancement.
• 4:44
  I did tell us yesterday that the Kingdom of God
• 4:49
  operates by mysteries. Mysteries they are not meaning hidden secrets.
• 4:55
  They are just secrets that are privy to believers. That means,
• 4:58
  if you are not in Christ. There is something called
• 5:02
  the wisdom of the Just. Look one seventeen. I think
• 5:07
  that should be Luk one seventeen. Please give it to us.
• 5:10
  Look chapter one and verse seventeen. Here's what it says.
• 5:15
  And he shall go before him in the spirit and
• 5:18
  the power of Elias to turn the hearts of the
• 5:22
  fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom
• 5:27
  of the just. The wisdom of a jost is a
• 5:30
  peculiar manifestation of God's wisdom that is privy to those
• 5:34
  who are.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: In the kingdom.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Are we together the Bible says, no I have seen,
• 5:39
  nor ear has heard, neither has it come into the
• 5:42
  heart of man what God has in store for them
• 5:45
  that love him.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Allelujah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, it says, but it has been revealed to us
• 5:51
  by His Spirit. For the Spirit such is all things,
• 5:55
  even the dip things of God. And the intent is
• 5:58
  that it might be freely no to us the things
• 6:01
  that God has foreordained for our glory. Allelujah. First Samuel
• 6:09
  twelve and verse six. May I request that we read
• 6:14
  it together, for some well twelve and verse six ready
• 6:18
  want to read, and some well said onto the people, Aha,
• 6:23
  it is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron and
• 6:28
  brought who advanced Moses and Aaron. It took more than desire.
• 6:37
  You just saw them moving forward great strides by the spirit.
• 6:41
  But here the prophet is saying, it was the Lord
• 6:45
  behind the scene, advancing Moses, advancing Eron. That would be
• 6:50
  someone's testimony that, mysteriously you will leap over our worlds.
• 6:56
  Mysteriously you will make extraordinary progress. And when men ask
• 7:01
  you and try to probe into your extraordinary results, you
• 7:05
  will refer them to this scripture that it was the
• 7:07
  Lord that advanced me advanced my business, advance my ministry,
• 7:12
  advance my family.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It's important that we.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Appreciate this scripture because the Bible says, accept the Lord
• 7:19
  beauilty house. He never said the house will not be built.
• 7:22
  He said it to be built. But in vain.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Accept the Lord watches over a city. He said that
• 7:29
  will watch man watch it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But in vain it is vain to wake up early
• 7:33
  in the morning and to sleep late at night, only
• 7:36
  to eat the bread of sorrow. But the Bible says,
• 7:38
  he giveth his beloved sleep. Allelujah, prays the name of
• 7:45
  the Lord. So there are principles Leviticals Chapter nine and
• 7:51
  verse six. Leviticals Chapter nine and verse six. The Lord
• 7:58
  revealed from this scripture onto Moses, and by extension to
• 8:02
  us believers today, that every time you want to see
• 8:06
  the glory of God made manifest in your life, there
• 8:09
  are always principles. There are truths that you have to
• 8:12
  work in keeping with. This is the thing which the
• 8:16
  Lord commanded. Yet ye should do, and the glory of
• 8:20
  the Lord shall appear onto you. The glory of the
• 8:23
  Lord will not appear just because you desire it, just
• 8:26
  because you wish for it. There are principles that you
• 8:30
  have to work in keeping with. Now, just to quickly
• 8:34
  point out, please listen carefully. The manifestation of God's power
• 8:39
  is threefold. That means, if an individual is who experience
• 8:43
  the power of God, there are three levels of experiencing
• 8:47
  the power of God. The highest level, known and revealed
• 8:51
  from scripture is the power of God that emanates through
• 8:54
  encounters and through intimacy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Intimacy and encounters bring a measure of power.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: The highest measure of power known to be given to
• 9:05
  man from God comes as a result of encounters and intimacy.
• 9:11
  The second level of God's power is the power that
• 9:15
  was invested in laws and principles, laws, laws and principles.
• 9:23
  This dimension of power does not depend on a relationship
• 9:26
  with Him. It depends on understanding a way together. Now,
• 9:31
  understanding and application. That means it is possible that you
• 9:36
  do not have a relationship with God, but you are
• 9:39
  able to access that dimension of his power, because relationship
• 9:43
  is not a requirement to access his power at that level.
• 9:46
  It depends on your understanding of that principle and then
• 9:52
  the fortitude to engage away together.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Now, then the.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Third level of His power is experienced through covenant al alignment.
• 10:01
  That means you may not even understand the dynamics of
• 10:04
  the power. But when you come under the influence of
• 10:06
  a man who has a covenant with God, even before
• 10:10
  you have any understanding, you can begin to experience that grace. Allelujah.
• 10:17
  Are we learning now? This is very important? So I'll
• 10:21
  give us very quickly for the time that we have
• 10:23
  this morning, a few principles.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Now, I give you a guarantee by.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: The integrity of Scripture that these principles are not conningly
• 10:31
  devised fables. These are not the figments of a man's imagination.
• 10:36
  It would be evil to come and waste your time
• 10:40
  proposing mundane ideas.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: These principles have.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Been proven first from Scripture and then in the life
• 10:48
  of people, regardless the current circumstances. As at the time
• 10:53
  they were engaging those principles, it did not look like
• 10:56
  it would work. I needed to understand that the jealousy
• 10:59
  of God is of his principles. He literally supervises the
• 11:05
  manifestation of his loss and principles. That by these two
• 11:09
  immutable things, it is impossible for God to lie. So
• 11:15
  the truths that you're hearing are not opinions that you
• 11:18
  would be wondering, why should I believe?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Should I not know?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: It says the things that we have seen, the things
• 11:24
  that we have heard, the things that our hands have handled.
• 11:30
  You can read a book about a subject and articulate
• 11:35
  it intelligently from a lecture standpoint, from a theoretical standpoint,
• 11:41
  but when you are describing an experience, it is not
• 11:45
  just what you read about. It is what has become
• 11:48
  your reality. Allelujah. And I submit to you by the
• 11:52
  wisdom of the Spirit that what you are learning is
• 11:55
  not a conningly devised fable. The law God has by
• 12:00
  his spirit turned men who have embodied these truths that
• 12:06
  if you work in keeping with them, it will be
• 12:08
  impossible to remain at this level. May that be your
• 12:11
  testimony in Jesus' name. The first key that I want
• 12:17
  to share with us this morning, as far as experiencing
• 12:28
  advancement strategic advancement is concerned, is principal number one your
• 12:35
  spiritual connection. Please write it down in order of priority
• 12:40
  for any man who desires acceleration, advancement, growth, increase, and
• 12:47
  extraordinary life. The Bible mandates that the foundation for any
• 12:52
  victorious life is God. I call it the God first principle,
• 12:58
  God dash first principle, Genesis, chapter one, Verse one says,
• 13:03
  in the beginning, God, please say it after me in
• 13:06
  the beginning one more time.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: For the last time.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: The moment you distort disorder, your life starts going down.
• 13:18
  The beginning of everything should have God. His is only
• 13:23
  omega to what He became alpha too.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: You do not start inventing your ideas, then smuggle God
• 13:30
  into your plans.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: The jealousy of God mandates that He becomes the originator.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Of every process around your life were together.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: As simple as this concept is, there are many believers
• 13:43
  who find themselves wallowing around in mediocrity and defeat because
• 13:47
  for many people, we feel God is a necessary luggage
• 13:51
  we have to carry a lot.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Around to justify spirituality.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Most people have not seen the value of being spiritual,
• 14:00
  the value to our spiritual connection. So religiously we say God,
• 14:05
  I need you. What In truth, we're just picking him
• 14:08
  up as an extra luggage in case we meet the
• 14:11
  devil on the way.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Allelujah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: The God first principle, Second Corinthians, chapter twenty six. Let's
• 14:23
  read from verse three to five, Second Corinthians twenty six,
• 14:28
  second Chronicles. My apologies twenty six, Second Chronicles twenty six,
• 14:34
  Verse three to five, Second Chronicles, not Corinthians Chronicles twenty six.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you. The Bible says, sixteen.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Years old was Usiah when he began to reign, and
• 14:51
  he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: His mother's name was Jacoliah of Jerusalem. Verse four.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, and he did that which was right
• 15:01
  in the sight of the Lord, according to all that
• 15:04
  his father Amasiah did Verse five. I like us to
• 15:08
  read together, ready one to read. And he sought God
• 15:12
  in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the
• 15:17
  visions of God. And as long as he sought the
• 15:21
  Lord God made him to prosper. Let's repeat that last verse.
• 15:26
  That's last part again. And as long as he sought
• 15:30
  the Lord God made him to prosper. Settle it once
• 15:34
  and for all, ladies and gentlemen, that there is infinite
• 15:38
  value in the pursuit of God and spiritual things. That
• 15:42
  at no point in your Christian experience or your destiny pursuit,
• 15:46
  should you have a reason to drop God aside. It
• 15:50
  is better for your job to be dropped aside. It
• 15:52
  is better for your ambition to be dropped aside, than
• 15:55
  for you to drop God and his purposes. We live
• 15:58
  in a world that seems to believe that the most
• 16:01
  civilized you are, the less spiritual you should be.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: That is not the case. In scripture.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Thou shall love the Lord, your God says, with all
• 16:10
  your heart, all your soul, all your strength, for as
• 16:14
  long as Wosaia sorts the Lord, the Bible says, God
• 16:18
  made him. Look at me, have you seen anything that
• 16:22
  God made? Do you know how powerful anything God makes becomes.
• 16:28
  Look at heavens and the earth. The sun has never
• 16:31
  required assistance to shine. It is older than all of us,
• 16:35
  and yet there is no wariness because God made it.
• 16:38
  The earth has never been tired of giving every year
• 16:43
  with plants, and it produces without fail. What you call
• 16:47
  famine is demonic manipulation upon the earth. But as far
• 16:51
  as the earth is concerned, it was mandated to produce.
• 16:54
  So when the Bible says God made him, think before
• 16:57
  you say amen, investigate on the other things that God made.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: When God makes a thing, there is no depletion.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Because everything reflects the power of the one who made it,
• 17:12
  as long as he sought the Lord. Even as a
• 17:14
  business man, God made him to prosper as long as
• 17:18
  he sought the Lord as a preacher, God made him
• 17:21
  to prosper. The first principle I wanted to learn this
• 17:26
  morning is the value of your spiritual connection. In James,
• 17:31
  Chapter two and verse twenty six. James two and verse
• 17:34
  twenty six, James was teaching on faith and works, and
• 17:39
  he now borrowed a very powerful concept to educate the believers.
• 17:44
  He says, for us, the body is that in your
• 17:46
  Bible without the spirit is dead. So faith without works
• 17:52
  is dead. The apart is my interest. That means everybody
• 17:57
  leaves only to the debate, to which there is a
• 17:59
  speed that causes it to leave.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: The body.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: There is not just talking of a human body. Your
• 18:05
  business is a body. Where is the spirit that powers it?
• 18:10
  Your project is a body? Where is the spirit that
• 18:13
  powers it? That means every physical thing you see only
• 18:17
  leaves it derives its life from the realm of the spirit.
• 18:22
  Please understand this, no matter how intelligent, no matter how
• 18:26
  dexteros you are in understanding, if there is no spiritual
• 18:30
  backing and connection, there is no future for whatever you
• 18:33
  are doing. Now, unbelievers, understand this. In spite of all
• 18:37
  your technical skills.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: They would do all.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Of that in the day, but in the night they
• 18:42
  know that the basis for their prosperity is their connection
• 18:46
  to the realm of the spirit. Whether it is demonic,
• 18:50
  they know they have to outsource an advantage beyond this
• 18:53
  realm to dominating this realm well together. The value of
• 18:59
  your spirit connection that extends to your prayer life, that
• 19:03
  extends to your words, study life, that extends to your
• 19:07
  passion for the things of God, that extends to your
• 19:10
  appetite for the House of God. The moment your growth
• 19:15
  becomes the basis for your cutting away from God and
• 19:18
  his purposes, he would rather limit your growth to preserve
• 19:22
  your spiritual health. I hope you know the anointing was
• 19:26
  only designed to fight what did not come from God.
• 19:30
  If it is God limiting you, no prayer and no
• 19:32
  anointing can fight it. The anointing does not fight God,
• 19:36
  it only fights what is Antichrist. So before you start praying,
• 19:41
  verify who is resisting you, Because God also resists.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Men, your spiritual connection.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Men our audacity in this kingdom. Men are or dacious
• 19:58
  and strong their to confront life with confidence, not because
• 20:04
  of anything that they have. Paul clearly said it that
• 20:07
  our sufficiency, the ability to always rise to the occasion,
• 20:12
  never disappointing. That's what we call sufficiency.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: He says.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Our sufficiency is of God, who has made us able ministers.
• 20:22
  I like Philippians four Unves thirteen, he says, I can
• 20:26
  do all things. What an arrogan statement. If he's topped
• 20:30
  there will have a right to vetting. Who do you
• 20:32
  think you are to claim you can do all things?
• 20:35
  You know how many things there are to be done in.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: A mans lifetime.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And here is an apostle standing with audacity and saying
• 20:43
  I can do.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: All things, including that business project.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I can do all things, including spreading my business globally.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I can do all things. But he never stops there.
• 20:53
  He says, through Christ, through Christ.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: The anointing that is derived from my relationship.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: You look at your church, and you look at this ministry.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: You are smart and intelligent to know that there are
• 21:08
  certain results that men an assisted by God, cannot produce.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: John chapter three one and two.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Nico Dimos comes to Jesus by night and he says, Rabbi,
• 21:20
  we know that thou art a man sent from God.
• 21:23
  He says, for no man can do these things these miracles,
• 21:27
  which thou do it?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Except God be with him.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: There are certain results that are beyond the realm of intellect.
• 21:35
  There are certain results that are beyond.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: The realm of men.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: There is a dimension of result that, when you produce,
• 21:44
  it implicates you immediately. It shows that there must be
• 21:47
  a spirit assisting you, whether it is demonic or divine.
• 21:51
  For sure, you could not have produced that result on
• 21:55
  your own and by yourself.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: David, how would you.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Stand before God Liad and they're this beast of a philistine,
• 22:03
  a man who threatened the army in Israel.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine David standing.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: As a young teenager, no track record of being trained
• 22:11
  in the army, and he stands before Soul and says,
• 22:14
  give me a chance.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I can't bring this man down.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Now he stands before go Liat, and go Liad said,
• 22:20
  am I a dog? I will kill you? What respects
• 22:22
  me Israel? Is this the best you can bring? And
• 22:25
  David looked at him and said, are you don't talking?
• 22:27
  Let me even tell you how you would die. I
• 22:29
  will first use this sling to bring you down. Then
• 22:32
  with your own sworld I would take off your head.
• 22:35
  It says, you come to me with your bos and
• 22:37
  your fairs, But there is a covenant. I'm not coming.
• 22:41
  I would be stupid to stand before you with a sling.
• 22:45
  Can I tell you? Every time you stand before situations
• 22:49
  and circumstances life will ask you who sent you?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: What is the business? Politically?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: You know this what we call Godfather is him, and
• 22:59
  so on and so for when you stand to advocate
• 23:01
  some kind of favor, they will ask you who sent you?
• 23:04
  You are in this office by whose recommendation did you enter?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Year?
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: If you said no, one needs a follow that same
• 23:10
  door and get out of this place. In fact, there
• 23:12
  are certain jobs you will never get, no matter how
• 23:15
  professional you are, until you are able to bring a
• 23:18
  recommendation and a referral by certain people. Are we together
• 23:23
  who have a relationship with that organization?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: So men are wise enough to know that there.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Are certain results you cannot get by yourself.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: For many of you who have been trying to pursue
• 23:38
  certain results and just following an intellectual path alone, you
• 23:42
  see there are many routes that propose an excelling life.
• 23:46
  But the Bible says there is a way that seemed
• 23:48
  right onto a man. It says the end, thereof other
• 23:51
  ways of death. First principle, God first in this business.
• 23:57
  God first, you build a house before you call people
• 24:01
  to come.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: And jump up and down. Lord, I hand over everything
• 24:06
  to you in the beginning God, beginning of my life, God,
• 24:11
  beginning of my business, God, beginning of my journey.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So, as I'm teaching right now, you need to start
• 24:21
  rearranging the cads of the things in your mind. Don't
• 24:25
  say God is in my life as number what his
• 24:30
  persion is not just to be in your life is
• 24:33
  to be fast. God can be scattered somewhere in your life,
• 24:37
  money being number one, maybe your ambition being number two.
• 24:43
  And then you smuggle God somewhere as number seven or
• 24:46
  ten and be asking God, are you watching things?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: No?
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: No, no no. If he is not Alpha, he cannot
• 24:54
  be o maker. He must be beginning a way together now. Yes,
• 25:02
  So this is my first charge. Is an irrefutable principle
• 25:06
  for an excelling life. Show me a man who was
• 25:08
  failed by every definition except for his connection with God.
• 25:13
  I show you a man who is about to emerge
• 25:15
  and to evolve like an insect evolves from egg laver
• 25:19
  pupil adult. He says, rejoice, not over me, my enemies.
• 25:22
  Do I fall the one thing Job had left? Every
• 25:26
  other thing left him, business connections, left, sons and daughters
• 25:30
  left in one day. No man on earth as I know,
• 25:34
  has experienced this kind of tragedy. But the one thing
• 25:37
  he had left, The wife even said, caused God and died.
• 25:43
  She was not wicked, she was just frustrated. There's nothing else.
• 25:47
  When we'll use that building your life again? When will
• 25:50
  I start having children again? And Job said, do he
• 25:55
  slay me?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Will I trust him that all the days of my
• 26:00
  appointed time?
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I will wait. I will wait. I will wait. Don't
• 26:05
  call it god love a failure. Never call it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: You will bury your head in shame for the rest
• 26:10
  of your life. For the Bible says, listen very carefully.
• 26:14
  The Bible says.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: With God, all things with God, with God, in partnership
• 26:19
  with God.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: The Bible and history is full of ordinary men forgotten
• 26:25
  and concluded, justifiably so by life and by society, but
• 26:31
  their relationship with God. Like you throw a seed to
• 26:34
  the ground and you leave it for a long time,
• 26:37
  there is silence, and then you begin to see an
• 26:40
  imagines until that seed becomes I'm speaking to someone. It
• 26:45
  looks like there is nothing else working in your life
• 26:48
  except your relationship with God.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And you're already feeling frustrated.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Men are even saying you've not translated your spirituality to
• 26:55
  an excelling life. Let me give you a word of
• 26:57
  hope that one anchor you have is the greatest thing
• 27:01
  you have held on too, and in the name of Jesus,
• 27:04
  made your manifestation appear. In this season, your manifestation becomes visible.
• 27:13
  The Bible says, listen carefully. The Bible says that the
• 27:18
  world became flesh. The world became flesh, and it appeared
• 27:24
  onto men, and we beheld this glory, even as the
• 27:28
  glory of the begotten, full of grace and truth, the
• 27:31
  Word was made became flesh. Nothing and no one in
• 27:38
  your life should sustain the ability to take the place
• 27:41
  of God.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: And this has nothing to do with being a preacher.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Please listen, This has nothing to do with religious fanatism.
• 27:49
  It is an orientation you must have for the rest
• 27:51
  of your life. We live in a world where the
• 27:53
  higher we rise, the more embarrassed we are to propose
• 27:58
  our spirituality.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: So your phone rings, and it's a Christian song.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: You offer it quickly because you're in the midst of
• 28:04
  people who you don't want to show like you're fanatical.
• 28:07
  You want to show that you're an intelligent person, not so,
• 28:11
  not so, not so. You will never shy away from
• 28:16
  what works the moment you start getting embarrassed that God
• 28:21
  is an orientation you have that you suspect you will
• 28:24
  always disappoint you. So you rather bringing that issue. I
• 28:32
  believe in God. I believe he is a maker, not
• 28:36
  just the maker of the heavens and the earth, the
• 28:38
  maker of men. When God makes you, you will last
• 28:43
  when God. When men make you on their own, men
• 28:46
  are vehicles, not the source. Men become your source. They
• 28:50
  will ruin your life away together. Yes, they will say,
• 28:55
  become king over us today and tomorrow they'll say, crucify him.
• 28:58
  But there is a friend that ticket closer than a brother.
• 29:03
  If you're following so fast, say amen.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Very quickly.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Principal number two, the second principle that governs an extraordinary life,
• 29:13
  governs acceleration.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: In this kingdom, is called vision. Vision.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: In addition to your spiritual connection, the second key is vision.
• 29:25
  Proverbs twenty nine and verse eighteen. Proverbs Chapter twenty nine
• 29:29
  and verse eighteen. The Bible says, where there is no vision,
• 29:35
  the people perish. Where there is no vision, the people
• 29:39
  who perish. But he that keeped the law happy? Is
• 29:43
  he one of the versions who say, where there is
• 29:45
  no vision, the people cast off restraint. This is very
• 29:49
  very important in Jeremiah chapter one and verse eleven. So
• 29:53
  a discussion is between God and this young boy who
• 29:56
  would later become a mighty prophet ordain to be a
• 29:59
  prophet called Jeremiah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah chapter one, the full.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Text is from verse five, but for sake of time,
• 30:06
  let's look at verse eleven. So he meets this young
• 30:09
  boy and tells him that while you were in your
• 30:11
  mother's womb, you have been called and not deigned, to
• 30:14
  be a prophet onto the nations. And Jeremiah is afraid,
• 30:17
  and he says, I mean, but I am a child.
• 30:21
  He says, say not that I'm a child. But wherever
• 30:23
  I send you to, you shall go, and whoever instruct
• 30:26
  you to speak to you shall speak. When we get
• 30:28
  to verse eleven, it says, more over the word of
• 30:31
  the Lord came on to me, saying Jeremiah, what ces dow?
• 30:39
  Preparing him for a great life. He began to talk
• 30:42
  about his perception. What do you see in light of
• 30:46
  all that I have told you? And he said the
• 30:48
  rod of an almond tree verse twelve. It says you
• 30:52
  have seen well other versions who say you have seen correctly.
• 30:58
  It says, for I will hasten my word that you
• 31:00
  have seen to perform it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Amplify It says, for I.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Am a lot and active watching over my word to
• 31:08
  perform it. Vision is the ability to see things as
• 31:12
  they should be, not as they are. The ability the
• 31:16
  faculty of perception, the ability to be able to see
• 31:20
  things from the lens of God's standpoint, beyond the limitations
• 31:27
  that you see now. Great people and those who make
• 31:31
  advancement in life are people who have vision. So you
• 31:36
  can look at this beautiful auditorium and this entire estate.
• 31:42
  You can look at it is incredible. At an architecture,
• 31:46
  among many other fields, but at an architecture are two
• 31:50
  fields that reveal the creativity of the kingdom in a
• 31:53
  very profound way. That an artist would sit down and
• 31:56
  from the lens of his imagination he would begin to
• 31:59
  create and transport realities, give frame and pictures and write
• 32:05
  it down. Do you know how much artworks sell across
• 32:08
  the globe you would not imagine millions of dollars for
• 32:12
  some of them that was the brainchild of someone's creativity.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: How about an architect.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Whilst you're giving him your brief, he's looking at you
• 32:20
  and it looks like he's not understanding you until he
• 32:23
  goes to the paper and he comes up with something
• 32:25
  so beautiful. Sometimes you are tempted to ask, where did
• 32:28
  you get this from?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: This is the power of imagery. Imagination.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Listen, there is no leader who will drive in this
• 32:37
  end time if you do not have the ability to perceive,
• 32:40
  and that perception is not just about things, it is
• 32:43
  also about people. You must be able to look at
• 32:46
  Saul and see Pop. Please help those on that the anointing.
• 32:49
  Are we together now? This is very important. If you
• 32:54
  do not have the faculty, let me have your attention.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: If you do not have the faculty of perception, you
• 33:01
  will never be able to rise in life. Look or
• 33:03
  please you see it the way God speaks to men.
• 33:07
  When God speaks to you, he never speaks to you
• 33:10
  like he's speaking to a man. He speaks like he's
• 33:12
  speaking to himself. You know it is God that spoke
• 33:16
  to you, because that version of you cannot do what
• 33:19
  he's telling you to do. Anything you hear that you
• 33:23
  have the ability to do at that moment, most likely
• 33:26
  it is your mind. When God speaks, he speaks to
• 33:29
  a version of you that is about to come, that
• 33:32
  is the version that can make this happen. He speaks
• 33:35
  like he's speaking to himself. Why do you see Gideon
• 33:39
  a man who is hiding, and you never call him
• 33:41
  off fearful Gideon. You call him a mighty man of valor.
• 33:46
  And Gideon is saying, don't flatter me. I'm here hiding,
• 33:49
  trying to preserve my life. And when he was done
• 33:52
  with Gideon and change his perception, he said, go in
• 33:55
  this time, might.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Say vision one more time? Say vision.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, until you see yourself beyond the house you are staying,
• 34:06
  you will never go out. You see vision. Listen, Vision
• 34:09
  walks together with imagination. Ifphiicients. Chapter three, h verse twenty says,
• 34:14
  now onto him, which is who is able to do
• 34:17
  exceeding abundantly far above all that we ask or think.
• 34:23
  Some expression say, imagine. Your imagination is a necessary tool
• 34:29
  for your advancement, as far as your eyes can see. It,
• 34:33
  says I have given on to you. Listen when Abraham
• 34:38
  and Lord. Remember the story of Abraham and Lot. You
• 34:41
  find it in Genesis twelfth. The blessing comes upon Abraham,
• 34:44
  and Lot goes with him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: By the time we.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Get to chapter thirteen, both of them had become so prosperous.
• 34:50
  And then there was a contention among their people, and
• 34:53
  Abraham said, we'll be brethren. Let there be no strife.
• 34:56
  Lot choose among yourself. And the Bible says the man
• 34:59
  went near Sodom, and whilst Abraham was standing there, the
• 35:03
  Lord made a very instructive statement. It said, Abraham, from
• 35:07
  where thou art, lift up your eyes. Your legs cannot
• 35:11
  go there, but your eyes can go. Listen, everybody on
• 35:15
  earth can look at the sky. I may not be
• 35:17
  able to reach the air, maybe to get an airplane
• 35:20
  that takes me there. But from where I am, once
• 35:23
  I lift up my eyes, I can't see what anybody
• 35:27
  else is seeing from where thou art. Lift top thy
• 35:31
  eyes from where you are, not just the location, from
• 35:36
  that financial state, Lift up your eyes, from that educational state.
• 35:41
  Lift up your eyes, because your life will go in
• 35:43
  the direction of your eyes. You know that your life
• 35:47
  does not just go in the direction of your heart.
• 35:49
  It is the direction of your eyes. If your eyes
• 35:52
  are looking left, chances are excellent that your.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Body will go left. Are weay together? Yes, That is
• 36:00
  the reason why we have our eyes in front, so
• 36:03
  that there is.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: No possibility of disrespecting your eyes. If you have to
• 36:07
  turn left. If your eyes is going right, your body
• 36:10
  will go right. If you find somebody looking straight and
• 36:16
  going backward indefinitely, you will know that that person most
• 36:19
  likely has a medical situation or whatever. Because it's not
• 36:22
  given to men. Your body moves in the direction of
• 36:25
  your eyes. The organization moves in the direction of vision.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: There is no.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Organization that rises higher than the vision and the perception
• 36:34
  of its leader. It will rise to match your vision
• 36:37
  and stay there are we together? When Jesus walked upon
• 36:44
  the earth, he had a global vision. Can you imagine
• 36:47
  that frail supposedly frailed Nazarene. His vision was not to
• 36:51
  come and become a celebrity. That was too small a vision.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: His vision was not to recruit twelve men, not even one, twenty,
• 36:58
  not even.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Thirty, was to permeate the entire to literally be the
• 37:04
  basis of man's reconciling with God. And as frail as
• 37:08
  his steps were that vision would never fail. Look at
• 37:11
  the world today, grateful and thankful because of his death.
• 37:16
  Vision is powerful. From where you are a possible I
• 37:22
  mean a place in Legos that I do not even
• 37:24
  want to call the name congratulations. Right there where you are,
• 37:27
  you can lift up your eyes. Imagination does not You
• 37:31
  don't have to pay for it. Vision is powerful. Many
• 37:35
  believers claim scripture, but they do not have the discipline
• 37:39
  to have a clearly defined vision for their lives and
• 37:43
  for their organizations. Can I tell you something God told
• 37:47
  me a few years ago. This organization always translates to depletion.
• 37:53
  Every time there is this organization, there will.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Always be depletion.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: You try to arrange clothes in a bag, don't fold them,
• 38:02
  just try to stuff them in. You would find out
• 38:04
  that the bag may not be able to close. Get
• 38:07
  the same clothes, iron them, fix everything and arrange them.
• 38:10
  The bag will close and they will even be extra space.
• 38:15
  Someone say, vision, Can you give me a blueprint of
• 38:19
  your vision? Spiritually speaking? And then in every other aspect
• 38:24
  of your life? Where do you want to go from here?
• 38:27
  Nobody starts driving on the road. Speed is useless until
• 38:31
  there is vision. Imagine a man's speeding and you say
• 38:34
  to where and you say, I do not know.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I always like to give an example.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Imagine with me that you got a well, now we
• 38:43
  have the whole GPS system, but imagine with me that
• 38:46
  you just got a cab with no sense of direction,
• 38:49
  and you tell the man I'm coming to Elevation Church
• 38:54
  and he says, oh, let's go, and then he starts
• 38:56
  driving around around and then you say, are you sure
• 38:59
  you know the place?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: And announcewers, well I am not.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: I thought, I'm not sure, And you said, so why
• 39:06
  were you running like this? You were horning and running.
• 39:09
  Every time there is no vision, you most slow down.
• 39:14
  You see, if you're trying to get a place and
• 39:16
  you don't exactly know where that place is, the first
• 39:19
  thing that is affected is your speed.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: You have to slow down until vision is clear. Are
• 39:26
  we together? Vision?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Go back and have a vision for your life, a
• 39:32
  vision for your organization, a very clear description. Psychologist and
• 39:37
  even those in the personal development industry would tell us
• 39:40
  that the clearer your vision is, the greater it is
• 39:44
  your sense of achievement. You will be able to achieve it.
• 39:47
  When the vision is clear. I want to make it.
• 39:53
  That is a very consoling statement, But that is not
• 39:55
  a vision.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Yes?
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I want to make it or I must make it.
• 40:04
  My life must be great, wonderful confession. But in the
• 40:07
  realm of greatness, that statement is empty. What is make
• 40:10
  it to you? What is rise to you? You have
• 40:14
  to give your life definition? Defination, defination. Also, I have
• 40:20
  been suffering in this legacy. Looks like things are not working. Okay,
• 40:24
  what do you want to work? At what point will
• 40:27
  you know it has worked? Are we together? All I
• 40:33
  know is my life must change based on what in disease?
• 40:37
  How do you know your life is changing? How do
• 40:39
  you measure your progress without vision?
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: If you're with me, say amen.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: One of the ways that you become a visionary person
• 40:51
  is by leveraging on a visionary association. I've always said
• 40:57
  that if there are, respectfully speaking, if there are five foolish.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: People around you, you did not count well, there are six.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: And if there are five wise people around you, you
• 41:09
  did not count well, there are six. Because you will
• 41:11
  always be a reflection of the people and the company
• 41:15
  that you keep around you.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Most of us are unable.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: To be visionary because there are people in our lives
• 41:21
  who do not inspire us. Even in our most unproductive state,
• 41:26
  we are still the best in that group.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: That is a dangerous group to be.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, to provoke one another onto godliness. That
• 41:37
  someone can leave this church and say, Lord, if you
• 41:39
  can use my pastor in spite of all historian and
• 41:44
  everything he's given, you've raised him now and I'm being
• 41:47
  blessed by his life.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I'm inspired.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: I will go back and I will deal with this
• 41:52
  thing with all my heart. What is making me financially bankrupt?
• 41:57
  Why is it that favor does not come my way?
• 41:59
  Why that I'm not able to build anything? The Bible says,
• 42:04
  it's able to do that which we pray for and
• 42:07
  that which we imagine.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: One last time, say vision. Vision is very powerful.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Because it gives you the legitimacy to say no to
• 42:16
  many things. There are many You will offend many people
• 42:21
  if your no does not have a basis. Vision prunes
• 42:25
  your relationships. Vision defines your relationships. Vision gives you focus
• 42:34
  so that you are busy, but you are not busy
• 42:36
  doing too many things. In fact, great people are known
• 42:39
  to be busy people, but the things that they do
• 42:42
  are not more than five or six Do you know
• 42:45
  the things the factors that actually make for your success
• 42:49
  are not many. When you find yourself doing too many
• 42:52
  things is proof.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: That you are feeling.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: You should be busy about a few things that really matter.
• 42:59
  In the case of Mary and Math, it says, Mary,
• 43:02
  you are worried. Mather and Math, you are worried and
• 43:04
  obsess about many things. It says, but one thing is needful.
• 43:09
  There are a few essentials. But when you lay your
• 43:11
  hand upon you will command victory. You will command acceleration
• 43:16
  in an unusual way. May that be your testimony? Key
• 43:20
  number three are we learning? Let's see how fast we
• 43:23
  can go this morning. So the first is your spiritual connection,
• 43:28
  second is vision number three. The third key that controls
• 43:32
  the advancement of men is light lght light, the power
• 43:39
  of knowledge, illumination, knowledge, and understanding.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Ecclesias.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: This ten and verse fifteen says the label of the
• 43:49
  full wearied, every one of them.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: It clears, Yes, this ten fifteen, It says, because this
• 43:55
  is the reason every time you see weariness, every time
• 43:59
  you see exhaustion without progress, The Bible is giving you
• 44:03
  the reason.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Here the labor of the foolish. The foolish there had
• 44:07
  not been an insult is a description of a state.
• 44:10
  It says, it wearied every one of them because he
• 44:14
  knows not how to go into the city, not because
• 44:18
  the city is not there. He does not know how
• 44:22
  to go into the city. Someone says, light, please shout.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: It say that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: The miracle of understanding is a real miracle. When God
• 44:34
  wants who help a man and help a man's destiny,
• 44:38
  he quickens your understanding, your ability to comprehend the ways
• 44:42
  of God, to comprehend the laws that guarantee for success.
• 44:48
  Show me a man who submits himself to light, to
• 44:52
  knowledge and understanding.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: I show you a man.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: Who is building an enviable destiny without fail on the
• 45:00
  standing is such a requirement for destiny actualization? The Bible says,
• 45:04
  Then open hevia understanding that they might understand the scripture
• 45:11
  that was the prayer of Paul for the church in Ephesos.
• 45:15
  You find that in Efficien chapter one, when you read
• 45:17
  from verse fifteen down to twenty, he was crying and
• 45:21
  praying that the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, would
• 45:23
  grant them access to light. It says that you've been enlightened, amplified. Says,
• 45:28
  the eyes of your understanding been flooded with light that
• 45:32
  you may know. Ignorance is dangerous. Ignorance is dangerous. Ignorance
• 45:38
  is dangerous. If I fall from off this stage, even
• 45:42
  in ignorance, I will still pay for it. Gravity does
• 45:45
  not respect the fact that I am ignorant. It would
• 45:47
  take a miracle to not fall here and hurt myself.
• 45:51
  Because there is a law that is at work. Whether
• 45:54
  I understand the law or not, it's not the issue.
• 45:56
  Are we together now, yes, Since the charity of heart
• 46:01
  will never substitute for knowledge.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: There are many sincere people who believe.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: That because their hearts are pure and without guile, they
• 46:11
  should succeed. And you find a lot of people say,
• 46:14
  I am innocent, But God, what is the meaning of this.
• 46:17
  I'm a nice person. I'm not wicked at heart. It
• 46:22
  takes knowledge light, and you see, when we deal with
• 46:26
  the subject of knowledge, please let me have your attention.
• 46:29
  When we deal with the subject of knowledge, you do not.
• 46:34
  There is a standard of knowledge that you must attain
• 46:38
  for every result you want to command. So your knowledge
• 46:42
  is not freelanced. Your knowledge is not Arbituaryly, are we
• 46:45
  together now? Your knowledge must be methodical. It must be
• 46:49
  to the degree that will end you that result. There
• 46:53
  are many people who are not in complete ignorance, but
• 46:56
  they do not know enough to produce the results. First
• 47:02
  Corinthians eight two. First Corinthians eight two. I like us
• 47:10
  to read together, one to read. And if any man
• 47:14
  thinks that he knowed anything, he knowed nothing yet as
• 47:21
  he ought to know. I would always give the example
• 47:30
  of the grading system that we have in our educational institutions.
• 47:34
  We have abcd F. I think it stops at F.
• 47:39
  Are we together? F does not mean zero. F means
• 47:43
  anything less than forty am I.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Right on that.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: So if you get zero, for instance, God forbid, say amen,
• 47:50
  say it again. If you get zero or twelve or seventeen,
• 47:56
  even thirty five, maybe thirty eight, what is the grade?
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: If I arrange all those who got F according to
• 48:05
  their cause, someone will still be fast. Yet, based on
• 48:10
  the grading system, both the person who did not write
• 48:14
  the exam, the person who started and slept off, the
• 48:18
  person who did not read, the person who honestly did
• 48:21
  his person did not get the cut of point, all
• 48:23
  of them would be in the same category. Can I
• 48:26
  tell you lead to knowledge is dangerous because it makes
• 48:30
  you believe you are not ignorant, yet you still not
• 48:32
  have results.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: You will be in the midst of great people.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: I know, I know, but your results will eventually drag
• 48:39
  you to the place of losers.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: So you need high level knowledge.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: High level knowledge, not just spiritual knowledge, but the understanding
• 48:52
  of the cosmos, the laws that make for an excelling life. Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.
• 49:00
  You must go for knowledge. The Bible says to buy
• 49:02
  the truth and sell it. Not.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: That means the truth is not cheap. It will cost you.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Except that money is the list of the currencies you
• 49:13
  will need to buy the truth. The first currency to
• 49:16
  buy the truth is hunger and desire.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: You use honor to buy the truth. You use your
• 49:22
  attention and your focus to buy the truth. You use
• 49:25
  meekness and humility to buy the truth. The Bible says,
• 49:29
  buy the truth and sell it, not allelujah. Ignorance is
• 49:37
  not a demon. You don't cast it out. Ignorance is
• 49:40
  a state of mind.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: You solve that problem by introducing superior ideas to your mind.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Let me challenge someone.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Write the list of the areas that are not working
• 49:51
  in your life and make it a project after this
• 49:54
  conference to begin to pursue the requiside level of knowledge
• 49:58
  it takes to erode ignorance from your life.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Light?
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: So number one your spiritual connection? Number two vision number
• 50:13
  three Light? Can we talk about the fourth?
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: All right? So let's work very quickly. Number four?
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: What is the fourth principle that governs acceleration excelling in life?
• 50:31
  A transformed mind? Please write it down? The power of
• 50:35
  transformation sustaining superior beliefs. Knowledge is useless.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Accept it is used as a tool that transforms you.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: A transformed mind. Proverabs Chapter twenty three and verse seven.
• 50:54
  Proverbs twenty three and verse seven. The Bible says, for
• 50:59
  as thing get in his heart, interchange for mind. The
• 51:03
  Bible did not say so he will become. He says,
• 51:06
  so so is he? You already are? You are a
• 51:11
  summation of your beliefs. This is a profound statement. Listen,
• 51:17
  Success is not what you pursue. If you find yourself
• 51:21
  trying to pursue success, you.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Are failed from the beginning.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Success is what you attract by who you are becoming,
• 51:27
  more than what you are doing. You're becoming is the
• 51:31
  greater reason for attracting success. Most people are concerned about
• 51:36
  doing so. A man, for instance, wants to sort out
• 51:39
  his finances, and the first thing he does is what
• 51:42
  business idea? No, you've already failed. You don't make money
• 51:46
  of business. You make money of your understanding. Your business
• 51:50
  only is a vehicle that gives your understanding expression to
• 51:54
  live a rewarded life, so you can do what other
• 51:57
  people are doing. What your understanding will put that vehicle
• 52:01
  and make it of non effect as far as your
• 52:04
  prosperity is concerned.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Transformation.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: What is transformation the name given to the process that
• 52:14
  makes you become makes you like Jesus Christ in experience?
• 52:18
  But number two transformation means the process of replacing the old,
• 52:23
  mundane and mediocre ideas about God, about Satan, about success,
• 52:30
  about failure, about life.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: What do you know about God? What do you know
• 52:34
  about destiny? What do you know about Satan? What do
• 52:38
  you know about defeat? What do you know about organization?
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Transformation, transformation sustaining superior beliefs. This is where the concept
• 52:50
  of mindsets and strongholds come into play. A mindset is
• 52:54
  a sustained way of thinking, positively or negatively. It is
• 52:58
  a sustained way of thinking, and the Bible lets us know,
• 53:04
  and even psychologists and philosophers agree on this one thing,
• 53:09
  that your life will become an expression of the quality
• 53:13
  of your.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Thoughts or otherwise. This is true for various reasons.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: We have sustained all kinds of thinkings, she first among
• 53:22
  them being our backgrounds, failures of the past, our environments.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: Are we together now?
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: All of these agencies have imparted into us mindsets and
• 53:33
  believes that many times and in many ways can be
• 53:36
  limiting and destructive. This is one of the assignments of
• 53:42
  the Church that when you come to church through the
• 53:45
  lens of scripture and editing, a process of editing begins
• 53:50
  to happen to your mind, so you begin to learn
• 53:54
  the ways of God. Philippians two one, verse five. Let
• 53:57
  this mind be in you, which was also in Jesus Christ.
• 54:02
  Jesus don't just desire his results. You must have his mindset.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: If you're with me, say Amen, hallelujah. This is very profound.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: Mindsets, the Bible says in Philippians chapter four and verse eight. Finally,
• 54:22
  Brethren Paul says Philippians four and verse eight, whatsoever things
• 54:29
  are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
• 54:35
  whatsoever things are pure, lovely, whatsoever things are of good report.
• 54:41
  If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
• 54:45
  help me complete that scripture. Think on these things. He
• 54:50
  defines to you the jurisdiction for your thoughts that if
• 54:53
  you want to live an excelling life, you must sustain
• 54:56
  your ability to limit the sources of your information, because
• 55:01
  as a man thinking in his heart or his mind,
• 55:04
  he becomes Do you know what a stronghold is?
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: Let me define for you in this teaching what a
• 55:09
  stronghold is.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: A stronghold is a sustained, faulty thinking pattern that has
• 55:17
  been fortified by the presence of demon spirits so that
• 55:21
  it keeps the victim perpetually thinking in that pathway. It
• 55:25
  is that state that can make the word of God
• 55:27
  of non effect.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Away.
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: Together, then open their eyes, open here their minds, their understanding.
• 55:44
  You notice that every time Jesus found blind people in
• 55:50
  the Bible, he took their issue seriously, because the issue
• 55:55
  of light and the issue of transformation is very serious.
• 56:00
  Jesus is giving his final words admonishing the disciples preparing
• 56:05
  for his moments of transition.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: And this is what he told them. He said, these
• 56:09
  signs shall follow them that belief. Please look at me.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Every time we think of that scripture, we only think
• 56:17
  of it in terms of signs and wonders. But it
• 56:19
  says these signs that means your believing is a dangerous
• 56:23
  thing because there are physical signs that must follow you.
• 56:26
  Everything following you is a report card, is telling you
• 56:29
  that there is something you believe that is attracting what
• 56:33
  is following you. If failure is following you, pain is
• 56:36
  following you. You don't drive it by saying go away.
• 56:39
  They are respecting your belief. They were sent to come
• 56:43
  to honor your belief. These signs the signs of pain,
• 56:49
  the signs of rejection. The Bible says this sign shall
• 56:53
  follow them that believe. So when you want to change
• 56:57
  the signs that are following you, you change or believing.
• 57:02
  You change your believing, You change your believing.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: And as you know, the key.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: To transformation is number one, the discovery of the truth,
• 57:15
  and then number two, using the law of repetition to
• 57:20
  bury that truth and that superior information until it is
• 57:25
  embedded within your subconscious mind. You know this, you have
• 57:29
  been taught this. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, do
• 57:32
  not downplay this. Every time you have a physical result
• 57:38
  that is greater than your level of transformation, the law
• 57:42
  of God's justice will kick in, and whatever you are
• 57:45
  holding must live your life. What appears in your physical
• 57:49
  world must be consistent with your level of transformation. If
• 57:53
  at any point, even through a gift or by a gift,
• 57:57
  you are ever given something that is higher than your
• 58:01
  level of transformation, events will happen in your life that
• 58:04
  you call coincidences that will bring you to a state
• 58:08
  where everything higher than your.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Mindset would deplete until it leaves you.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: So you give somebody one billion error and in its
• 58:17
  mind the highest financial rem is one hundred thousand. Through
• 58:21
  a series of events that even the victim cannot explain,
• 58:25
  that money will reduce until it comes to that range.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Then it will stop.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: This is the reason why no cooperation prom Most people
• 58:34
  abbitterarly without training. They upgrade their minds to match the
• 58:38
  level of increase that they want to bring to them.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: This is the fallacy of living a fake life. Living
• 58:44
  a fake life means that you attempt to pull together
• 58:48
  physical things in your life that are inconsistent with your transformation.
• 58:53
  You are only recycling pain again and again and again.
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: Someone learning now Yes, Apostle I'm trusting God for a
• 59:05
  global ministry. I'm trusting God for a global organization. If
• 59:09
  your mindset does not receive that everything in life is
• 59:13
  built twice and which we had time, I would have
• 59:16
  taken you to Genesis eleven, and I would have shown
• 59:18
  you something very profound. Nim Rod Kush called the people
• 59:22
  together to build a city and a tower whose top
• 59:25
  will reach the heaven. He motivated them and began to
• 59:28
  sell that idea to them, and the Bible says they believed.
• 59:31
  While all of that process of transformation was happening, The
• 59:35
  Bible says, God looked from heaven and saw that the
• 59:38
  building has been finished. It had not started. It's in
• 59:42
  your bible. Give us Genesis eleven and verse five. Don't
• 59:46
  tempt me, the Bible says, which you resist temptation. Allelujah,
• 59:50
  Genesis eleven and verse five. Watch this, the Bible says,
• 59:54
  and the Lord came down to see the city and
• 59:58
  the tower, which that should of men build it. It
• 1:00:02
  has been finished in the spirit before they lay one
• 1:00:05
  block on the ground.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Their minds have built it already.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: And listen, I hope you know in this scripture, Satan
• 1:00:11
  was not mentioned. The Holy Spirit was not mentioned. It
• 1:00:14
  was just imagination and the power of it. Verse six.
• 1:00:19
  Verse six give us a scripture. This is God testifying
• 1:00:22
  about men who were not saved. This man did not
• 1:00:26
  have the holy goals assist in them. The Lord said, behold,
• 1:00:31
  the people is one, and they all have one language.
• 1:00:34
  And it said this they begin to do. It was
• 1:00:38
  finishing their mind. They want to now begin to execute it.
• 1:00:42
  And God said, because it was finished nothing, God himself
• 1:00:46
  is saying nothing will be restrained from them, which.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: They have imagined, not imagining. They were about to do it.
• 1:00:56
  But as far as the mind rem is concerned, was finished.
• 1:01:02
  Everything in life is built twice. The most superior building
• 1:01:07
  is the one in your mind. Destroy any physical thing.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: That is why a prosperous man who loses in business
• 1:01:14
  while you are trying to grit him as though you
• 1:01:16
  are coming to mourn with someone who lost a loved
• 1:01:19
  one's laughing at you and encouraging you, because it was
• 1:01:22
  only the physical money that disappeared. Everything that is built
• 1:01:25
  in your mind, provided it is intact, laugh at anything
• 1:01:29
  that tries to take it from your life. It is
• 1:01:31
  like pulling a rubber ring. It will always return back.
• 1:01:36
  Do you believe what you're hearing, so someone can rejoice
• 1:01:42
  in your lonely estate. Nothing physical yet appearing, Yet you
• 1:01:46
  rejoice because by the teaching of the world, coming to
• 1:01:49
  charge every week is transferring wealth to you. If I
• 1:01:57
  ask you how do people become wealthy and you tell
• 1:02:00
  tell me they do business, you are not a good student. No,
• 1:02:05
  we become blessed. And by where they don't just mean financially.
• 1:02:09
  You understand what I mean. Yes, the level of excellence
• 1:02:13
  and dexterity in your life is it comes from the
• 1:02:17
  superiority of your ideas, your degree of transformation. So key
• 1:02:23
  number one again your spirituality, your connection is someone learning already.
• 1:02:29
  Now you see that victory and advancement is not just
• 1:02:31
  an importation.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: It is predictable. These are the keys. They are irrefutable.
• 1:02:37
  They will not fail.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: Two Vision, three light, sufficient, Light, four Transformation. Let me
• 1:02:48
  give you the fifth for this service and then will end.
• 1:02:51
  Please do not miss tonight number five MM. Are you ready?
• 1:03:05
  The fifth key that controls advancement is productivity, productivity, value
• 1:03:14
  and productivity. You may want to write value and productivity.
• 1:03:19
  Let me show you a scripture that inspired me years
• 1:03:22
  ago and seven covenant decisions came out of that scripture,
• 1:03:26
  Mark Chapter one, from verse thirty five to thirty seven.
• 1:03:32
  Value and productivity. I will read thirty five thirty six.
• 1:03:37
  When I get to thirty seven, we'll read together. Let
• 1:03:39
  me read now. And in the morning, rising up a
• 1:03:43
  great while, he went out, that he being Jesus, now
• 1:03:46
  he was done with his crusades. And the Bible says,
• 1:03:49
  in the morning he went out and departed into a
• 1:03:52
  solitary place, and their pray verse thirty six, the Bible says,
• 1:03:57
  and Simon and they that were with him followed after him,
• 1:04:03
  verse thirty seven. May that be your story. And when
• 1:04:07
  they had found him, they said.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: Unto him, all men seek for thee how many men?
• 1:04:14
  All men means all categories of people, businessmen, politicians. There
• 1:04:23
  is a kind of value when you carry only your tribesmen,
• 1:04:26
  look for you. There is a kind of value when
• 1:04:29
  you carry only those within your age range. Look for you.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: There is a kind of value when you carry only
• 1:04:35
  those within your nation.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: Look for you.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: But there are certain levels of value and productivity when
• 1:04:42
  you carry.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: All men, all men.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: That includes businessmen, all men, that includes diplomats, all men,
• 1:04:54
  all men. Look at the life of Jesus. Business Men
• 1:04:57
  came to him, children came to him. In fact, ignorant
• 1:05:02
  people came to him. The Bible talks about the men
• 1:05:06
  of David, that they came and met David in the
• 1:05:08
  cave of Adulam.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: These were men who were in debt.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: There were men who were distressed, and the Bible says
• 1:05:14
  David turned them to become mighty men.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: They were so mighty.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: One time he said, oh, that I would drink of
• 1:05:20
  the pool of Bethlehem. And those men they went and
• 1:05:23
  defeated armies and brought down people.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Skill, mastery, excellence.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: They fetched the water had brought and he said, no,
• 1:05:31
  you've shed too much blood.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: I can't take this. One of them. The men was
• 1:05:35
  so mighty.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: The Bible said he stood at one point holding the sword.
• 1:05:40
  He defeated eight hundred people, and the sword would not
• 1:05:43
  leave his hands.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: Same mastery.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: To this world is a world that does not tolerate
• 1:05:50
  mediocrity by any standard whatsoever, value and productivity. As a preacher,
• 1:06:02
  you are not excelling just because you are preaching the Gospel. No,
• 1:06:05
  from a spiritual someandpoint, yes, but you are excelling ministry
• 1:06:08
  to the degree to which you are communicating value, even
• 1:06:12
  though spiritual in context, it is life applicable. Number one,
• 1:06:16
  you are connecting men to faith. Number three, you are
• 1:06:19
  introducing superior world based ideas that transform their minds, ideas
• 1:06:24
  that they can translate into results in their daily life.
• 1:06:29
  Value the gift of a man makes room.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Watch this.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: Do you know what it means to make? To make means?
• 1:06:38
  Until it is made, there was no space. Most people just.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: Imagine there's a space for me somewhere. There's no space
• 1:06:43
  for you.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: You're created by your value. The table of greatness is
• 1:06:50
  always fieled. It is your value that brings your own
• 1:06:53
  share and shifts people and qualifies you to sit there.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: All we're not called to do.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: Everything, but in that one thing that can give you
• 1:07:05
  an edge in life, you must obtain grace from God
• 1:07:08
  and set to to do it exceptionally well. The Bible
• 1:07:12
  talks about a young man in Genesis chapter forty and
• 1:07:15
  chapter forty one called Joseph. Joseph had the grace to
• 1:07:19
  interpret dreams and with it to profit very superior solutions,
• 1:07:23
  and so he had been in the prison for a
• 1:07:25
  number of years plus two years added as a result
• 1:07:28
  of the carelessness of the wine presser, are we together?
• 1:07:33
  When it was time for God to elevate, to accelerate,
• 1:07:37
  and to lift him, God decided to create a problem
• 1:07:41
  and shot the heavens over the diviners. Because kings in
• 1:07:44
  those days had men medium who communicated with the realm
• 1:07:47
  of the spirit. This time around, the heavens were shot
• 1:07:50
  over them. And the Bible says the wine presser said,
• 1:07:54
  I remember my wrong this day, and the king sent
• 1:07:57
  for Joseph. They brought him out of his dungeon, and
• 1:08:00
  the king narracted the dream, and with the mastery of
• 1:08:03
  a professional he laughed. He said, King, save yourself distress.
• 1:08:07
  I know the interpretation. He said, God will give Pharaoh
• 1:08:10
  an answer of peace. And he begins to give him
• 1:08:13
  that that interpretation, and now the solution. He said, let
• 1:08:20
  Pharaoh look for a man who is so discrete and wise.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: It was a diplomatic way of saying, I dare you
• 1:08:27
  find it. If you will find a man that discrete
• 1:08:30
  and wise, you know you're just coming out of the prison.
• 1:08:32
  You have to talk well, so you don't go back there.
• 1:08:35
  So he said, let Pharaoh find a man.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: When he had been settled for men before the arrival
• 1:08:40
  of josephs they don't.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: Like me just because of my tribe.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: I agree, I sympathize with you, but that's not the reason.
• 1:08:50
  There is a level of mastery that vetos, gender issues,
• 1:08:53
  vitos all kinds of sentiments. Believe me when I tell
• 1:08:57
  you I was listening to the testimon only of the
• 1:09:00
  lady who could share before I came up, how that
• 1:09:04
  her cooperation was almost pleading, with her giving her treatments.
• 1:09:07
  Now in this same Nigeria, are we together.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Listen?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: You can use competence, value, productivity to define your possibilities.
• 1:09:21
  Now listen, please the door of greatness. One day the
• 1:09:24
  Lord taught me this. The realm of greatness has two doors.
• 1:09:29
  There are two entrances to the realm of greatness. Number
• 1:09:32
  one is the door of value. Number two is the
• 1:09:35
  door of need. When you entire the door of greatness
• 1:09:39
  through the realm of need, you become a slave.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: There because it was your need that brought you there.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: You are at the messy of anything and anyone there.
• 1:09:49
  But when you entire the realm of greatness through the
• 1:09:52
  door of value, even the great will acknowledge you as
• 1:09:55
  a colleague. So many of you want to be make
• 1:10:01
  every man's need is his point of contact. If you
• 1:10:04
  come to me begging, or you come to me contributing
• 1:10:07
  to my life, I will most likely pay attention to
• 1:10:10
  the one who is contributing to my overall well being.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: Am I right on that? This is a very powerful secret.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: There are people who when you see their texts, you
• 1:10:19
  know they're about to beg Calvary greetings.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: It's not about the greeting at all. This is after
• 1:10:25
  one year one year old text messages.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: The rent has expired. I'm not being sarcastic, just for
• 1:10:31
  your knowledge, Calvary greetings. How are you today? I hope
• 1:10:36
  you are doing well. Your children fine? You just send
• 1:10:39
  the other text, the real text that should come. That
• 1:10:44
  is the door of need.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: Many of you have been trying to access great men
• 1:10:53
  through the door of need.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: I'm still here. Everybody has a need. His need is
• 1:10:59
  his point of con Are we learning value and productivity
• 1:11:09
  when it has to do with being valuable? You must
• 1:11:12
  obtain grace and discipline. Fine tune what you know now
• 1:11:17
  in business like you know, this is a morning session.
• 1:11:19
  So I'm at liberty. There is what we call the
• 1:11:22
  law of compensation, and the law of compensation in business
• 1:11:25
  stakes that our rewards in life will always be in
• 1:11:29
  exact proportion to three things.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Number one, the need for what we do. Number two,
• 1:11:34
  our ability skill proficiency in doing what we do. Number
• 1:11:38
  three the difficulty in replacing us. That means the rewards
• 1:11:45
  that come to you in life, first being financial, and
• 1:11:48
  then every other kind of reward it comes to you
• 1:11:51
  in response to these three things. Number one, the need
• 1:11:55
  or demand for what you do.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: Number two, your ability to do what you do, and
• 1:12:00
  number three the difficulty in replacing you.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: It is true that.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: No man is indispensable, but make yourself so hard to
• 1:12:09
  find another. You don't be so easily replaceable. Don't become
• 1:12:18
  a final option when other options have been exhausted and
• 1:12:23
  then it looks like they can't find.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: Them, and say, okay, since you are here, can you
• 1:12:25
  help us.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: You can transit to a revel. Listen until you serve kings.
• 1:12:33
  Don't stop growing. Don't say I am serving people. If
• 1:12:39
  you do not serve kings, you are not yet rising. Apostle,
• 1:12:45
  I am a fashion designer. Who are you dressing? You
• 1:12:50
  cannot receive the reward of the palace if you are
• 1:12:53
  serving outside the palace, and the king send the Bible
• 1:12:57
  talks about many people who win the way building the temple.
• 1:13:01
  There were many people that were brought because of their
• 1:13:04
  conning skills. I made up my mind as a covenant,
• 1:13:09
  as a man of God and one who desires a
• 1:13:12
  great destiny that I will never go anywhere in my
• 1:13:16
  life where people just say thank you, well done, and
• 1:13:20
  you have a nice day, and I'm not sure that
• 1:13:22
  you are needed again. No, and I knew the key
• 1:13:25
  was not just to pray alone. To buy the truth
• 1:13:27
  based student of knowledge. Take away ignorance together with the
• 1:13:32
  embarrassment it brings from your life. Drive two of them away, value, productivity.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: Man of God.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: If you are not on the pulpit, can you speak
• 1:13:44
  to businessmen? Can you speak to diplomats? Have you worked
• 1:13:48
  upon yourself? Don't bring tribal or emotional sentiments? Are you
• 1:13:52
  so competent that patronizing you does not become a risk?
• 1:14:02
  Can I recommend you and sleep without feeling guilty that
• 1:14:06
  I did evil to the person? I recommended you too?
• 1:14:15
  Have ten more minutes. Let's do number six. Thank you Jesus.
• 1:14:25
  Is someone changing?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: You?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: See that the you that came to church is not
• 1:14:29
  the you living. You will look for the you that
• 1:14:33
  came and not find it again in the name of
• 1:14:37
  Jesus Christ.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: And you see, ignorant people will look at your results
• 1:14:42
  tomorrow and say you are so lucky. So you sit
• 1:14:47
  them down and say, what I am by the grace
• 1:14:49
  of God. But disgrace was not showered on me in
• 1:14:52
  that I labeled more than you all. It is the.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: Ignorance that plagues our world. Every time we see great people,
• 1:15:00
  we say they were fortunate. Really, no, there are certain
• 1:15:04
  results that do not happen by locke. He that strives
• 1:15:08
  for mass tree is not crowned unless his strives and
• 1:15:11
  accept his stribes lawfully. Let's do number six, so we
• 1:15:18
  end for this morning. Are you ready for number six?
• 1:15:23
  The sixth principle that governs the enviable rising of men
• 1:15:29
  is called the power of relationships. Pastor spoke about that yesterday,
• 1:15:36
  The power of relationships Genesis chapter twelve, from verse one
• 1:15:47
  to four.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: Please, let's hurry up one to four so God blesses.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: Abraham and speaks proposes a blessing to him.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: Let's just jump to these three.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: Verse two now says three says in this shall all
• 1:16:00
  the families of the earth be blessed. Verse four now
• 1:16:04
  he says, So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken
• 1:16:08
  to him. I liked the next expression, and Lot went
• 1:16:13
  with him.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: God never called Lot.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: Lord had that God was working with Abraham, and he said,
• 1:16:21
  I'm going with you, and Lot went with him. When
• 1:16:24
  you go to chapter thirteen for sake of time, from
• 1:16:27
  verse one to five, you will now discover that everything
• 1:16:31
  Abraham had, Lot had too. You would not even know
• 1:16:35
  who God called and who followed, to the point that
• 1:16:39
  there were contentions. But watch this, there is a powerful
• 1:16:42
  lesson there. The one who followed made a foolish mistake.
• 1:16:46
  He forgot that their nunting was not on him. It
• 1:16:49
  was the benefit of relationships. He would have managed that
• 1:16:52
  quarrel wisely. The first decision Lot will make outside of
• 1:16:56
  the influence of Abraham ended him in Sodom and Gomorrah.
• 1:17:01
  He lost everything, and he depleted to become like his
• 1:17:04
  former self. It took the same Abraham to negotiate his
• 1:17:11
  preservation with God. There are relationships. You must swallow your
• 1:17:18
  pride and never fight. Listen, there are three kinds of relationships.
• 1:17:23
  Generally number one, there are general relationships. We call it
• 1:17:28
  the Bible mandates that were good to all men. You
• 1:17:30
  meet people on the street, you meet people everywhere, greet them, be.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: Good to all men. Honor all men, than honor the King.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: Number two, there are seasonal relationships. These relationships are in
• 1:17:43
  your life for a moment and for a season, and
• 1:17:46
  the key to maximizing them is to discernd the value
• 1:17:49
  they bring first so that you are able to receive
• 1:17:52
  it the moment the season for that relationship is done.
• 1:17:55
  It to no longer bless you, and you must have
• 1:17:59
  the courage to transit when the season is the season
• 1:18:04
  comes to one end. The third is covenant relationships. These
• 1:18:09
  are destiny relationships that the success of your entire life
• 1:18:13
  depends on them. An example is your relationship with God.
• 1:18:19
  Covenant relationships. These are the kinds of relationships that you
• 1:18:23
  need to swallow your pride, and for no reason should
• 1:18:26
  you cut away from certain people because they have an
• 1:18:31
  investment in your destiny that they must make.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Now? Let me show you one more scripture.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: In Matthew chapter four from verse eighteen and nineteen.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Matthew four eighteen and nineteen.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: The Bible says, and Jesus walking by the Sea of
• 1:18:50
  Galilee saw two brethren until they met Jesus, they were
• 1:18:55
  only called brethren. Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother
• 1:19:00
  casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: Let's read verse nineteen together.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: And he said on to them, follow me and I
• 1:19:11
  will make you stop there. Please follow me, and I
• 1:19:15
  will make you.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: That means whoever you are following has an influence on you.
• 1:19:20
  Follow me.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: Just follow me and I will make you. Follow me,
• 1:19:25
  and I will make you a responsible leader. Follow me,
• 1:19:28
  and you will turn into an umbroba, respectfully speaking for someone.
• 1:19:32
  There are good people whose destruction started when they started
• 1:19:35
  following certain people. Am I right on that? Follow me
• 1:19:40
  and I will make you Follow me, and I will
• 1:19:43
  make you follow me and I will lift you.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: Follow me and you will go down. There were two
• 1:19:52
  both incidences in the Bible.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: The first had a prophet who was running away from
• 1:19:57
  God called Jonah, and because of his presence in that boat,
• 1:20:00
  people lost their lives. They had gone to do business,
• 1:20:03
  They almost lost their lives. They lost everything they had.
• 1:20:07
  They literally threw away all their investments to preserve their life.
• 1:20:11
  And the man who was causing the trouble was sleeping.
• 1:20:14
  Is it not in your Bible? Later on the walking
• 1:20:17
  and said, are you okay? What is Look at this?
• 1:20:20
  They cast lots and it fell on him, and he says, true.
• 1:20:23
  And the reason for this They said, what do we
• 1:20:25
  do now? I say, you have to throw me out
• 1:20:27
  of this boat. You thought The people said, ah, that's
• 1:20:29
  too harsh. They threw him out in a moment because
• 1:20:32
  they had lost their they had lost too many things.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: They saw, you are the one here, go out so
• 1:20:38
  that we can have peace, and they threw him.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: Truly, God rescued him later, but as far as their
• 1:20:43
  salvation was concerned, he needed to be out of that
• 1:20:46
  boat versus another story when men were in a boat
• 1:20:50
  and there was a storm and another man called Jesus
• 1:20:53
  was sleeping, and this time around cheaping him there and
• 1:20:59
  waking him was the key to their salvation.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: Two men in a boat.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: One was the reason for failure and depletion, and not
• 1:21:09
  that was the reason for preservation. Beware who you are
• 1:21:12
  carrying in the boat of your destiny. Beware Alleluyah. Everything
• 1:21:23
  in life advances on the basis of relationships. Everything everything
• 1:21:28
  in life plants, animals, They multiply, and they advance on
• 1:21:33
  the basis of relationship. Without relationship, there is no multiplication,
• 1:21:38
  and there is no advancement. Microbiology teaches us at a
• 1:21:42
  cellular level that the way that sells multiply to become
• 1:21:47
  an organism, it happens by breaking multiplication repeatedly, again and
• 1:21:52
  again until it becomes a full organism. Everything in life
• 1:21:57
  multiplies on the basis of relationship. I'm not going to
• 1:22:01
  teach it, but let me talk to you about destiny helpers.
• 1:22:05
  You may have heard me teach it. It's a revelation
• 1:22:08
  that changed my life. I will least four kinds of
• 1:22:11
  people that you must cry and pray even this morning,
• 1:22:15
  that God brings to your life.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: Allelujah.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: Destiny helpers are men and women ordained, commission and sent
• 1:22:25
  by God to assist you in actualizing destiny. They are
• 1:22:29
  not men who free lance your life. They are ordained,
• 1:22:33
  They are commissioned. They are sent by God into your
• 1:22:37
  life to assist you in your advancing and your destiny adventure.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: Allelujah. This is very important.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: When the prophet came to the woman in Zaraphath, the
• 1:22:48
  Bible says that God commanded him to go there, But
• 1:22:52
  when he went there, the woman was meeting him as
• 1:22:54
  a stranger. It didn't sound like there was any preparation there.
• 1:22:57
  But he was the reason for her, for her preservation.
• 1:23:00
  These four groups of people the Lord showed me by revelation,
• 1:23:03
  and it has changed my life. Can I run through
• 1:23:06
  the list as we wrap up? Number one divine connectors.
• 1:23:12
  This is the first category of destiny. Help us you
• 1:23:16
  must cry for who are divine connectors? They do not
• 1:23:19
  have the solution you are looking for, but they know
• 1:23:22
  somebody who knows somebody who can connect you. They are
• 1:23:26
  called divine connectors. An example was the slave girl in
• 1:23:32
  the house of Norman. She could not heal Naman, but
• 1:23:36
  she could take him to a prophet who could heal
• 1:23:39
  her had he If not that slave girl, he would
• 1:23:42
  die let pross forever. An example of divine of divine
• 1:23:45
  connectors the men who carried the creepled man and brought
• 1:23:49
  to the crusade of Jesus. They tought the roof and
• 1:23:52
  brought that man. They were determined that you will be healed.
• 1:23:55
  Do you know the problem of the man in Bethesda
• 1:23:59
  was not his weakness.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: When Jesus asked him, what is your condition here? He said,
• 1:24:04
  I have no man. I have no man.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: I am not the angel that stears the water, but
• 1:24:10
  I can help you. Everybody who was hell there was healed.
• 1:24:14
  Therefore because there was a man to assist them. There
• 1:24:18
  divine connectors. The key to receiving from divine connectors is
• 1:24:22
  honor and discernment, because they will always come in.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: A form that is not desirable.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 4: For instance, your househelp like the precious woman who gave
• 1:24:32
  that story divine connectors. If you only respect people of
• 1:24:38
  pedigree and class, get ready to learn a bitter lesson
• 1:24:42
  in life. A conductor who is driving a car can
• 1:24:48
  hand over an invitation to you, and that invitation will
• 1:24:52
  be where that medical condition will come to an end.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: The key is to discern number two. Men of influence.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: The second category of destiny help us you must cry
• 1:25:03
  for to come into your life, are called men of influence.
• 1:25:08
  These men have the track record and they have the credibility.
• 1:25:12
  They have the ears of systems and structures. Their endorsements
• 1:25:17
  can become a leverage to your life in a moment.
• 1:25:22
  Divine connectors are wonderful, but they are not enough for
• 1:25:26
  destiny actualization. You need men and women of influence, and
• 1:25:31
  I'm praying that God will bring those kinds of people
• 1:25:33
  to your life.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: And a lawyer one signature in legos. Help him.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: The man who do not write his name, he will
• 1:25:42
  write his signature. The person you are to take it
• 1:25:44
  to knows what he's saying. There, help him. Kindly assist.
• 1:25:49
  It can be in a paper you find on the ground.
• 1:25:51
  Kindly assist. And the man is about to throw you
• 1:25:54
  out and says, where did you get this?
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: What you are holding is not a pay What you
• 1:26:00
  are holding is history of transforming the man who is
• 1:26:03
  holding that paper? How do I throw this man out? Now? Okay,
• 1:26:07
  you come in. Let me tell you the truth. If
• 1:26:10
  God says yes and men say no, your yes will
• 1:26:14
  remain in the spirit for that years to be made manifest.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 4: It is both the spirit and the bride that must
• 1:26:22
  say come. If God says be healed, and there is
• 1:26:26
  no man to echo that healing, you will not be healed.
• 1:26:29
  The Spirit and the bride God in partnership with men.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: Number three gifted men.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: The third category of destiny helpers that you need are
• 1:26:40
  gifted men. Sometimes you just need men of skill and excellence.
• 1:26:46
  The assignment of these people is to produce efficiency in
• 1:26:50
  your life. Global corporations all across the globe they excel
• 1:26:57
  today because they have mastered the art of bringing to
• 1:27:00
  together skillful people. When no matter how well intentioned people are,
• 1:27:05
  if they are not skillful, you will not produce results.
• 1:27:08
  If they are not skillful, there will be a lot
• 1:27:10
  of waste in your life and your organization. Away Together
• 1:27:14
  you'll meet to get waste by bringing together skillful people,
• 1:27:20
  divine connectors, men of influence. Skillful people, and the last
• 1:27:28
  of the destiny helpers that you need in your life
• 1:27:31
  are called boden bearers.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: These men are very unique people.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: They cannot move you forward, but their assignment is to
• 1:27:41
  stop you from going backward.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: They are men who love you for you, not for
• 1:27:47
  your office, not for your status.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: When all is said and done, because you see, I
• 1:27:53
  hate to be the bureau of bad news. But I
• 1:27:55
  will tell you, according to the law of seasons and
• 1:27:58
  the law of time and chance, everybody will find yourself
• 1:28:02
  carrying across one day. The way to the throne is
• 1:28:05
  the cross. Even Jesus, the miracle walking Jesus got to
• 1:28:10
  a point where he was on his way to gold,
• 1:28:14
  gotter drained because he had bled so much. The Bible
• 1:28:19
  says he fell. If Jesus died on the ground, would
• 1:28:22
  not be saved. He needed to die as a cross
• 1:28:25
  on a tree. A burden bearer called Simon of Sirene
• 1:28:30
  was now fetched, and he came and helped him carry
• 1:28:33
  the cross to gold gotter even salvation needed the ministry
• 1:28:37
  of boden beearers. Can I tell you walk besides a
• 1:28:41
  man that when you are in your downtime, say life,
• 1:28:43
  there is no body divine connectors cannot help you.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: In the day of adversity. Men of influence may not
• 1:28:50
  do you much.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: Give ten men may not help you, But a burden
• 1:28:54
  bearer will cry with you, a burden bearer. Out of
• 1:28:58
  all the people Jesus raised that lifted, there were.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: Only two with him at the cross, his mother and John,
• 1:29:06
  including Peter, who said I would not go anywhere he
• 1:29:09
  ran in a moment.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: He later repented. I agree, But as far as the
• 1:29:13
  cross is concerned, he was not there. Can I tell you,
• 1:29:16
  if you ever believe you're a celebrity, you are right.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: But I want you to think well. Out of the many.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: People clapping for you, I hope you have been able
• 1:29:25
  to find body bearers, because they will come. Those who
• 1:29:30
  are saying become king, who say crucify him, They et
• 1:29:34
  your bread at the crusade. But they will still say
• 1:29:36
  crucify him. They will even go further to say, let
• 1:29:38
  his blood be on our children. That is the interesting
• 1:29:43
  thing about the law of seasons. There will always be
• 1:29:45
  seven years of fatness and seven lean years. He said,
• 1:29:51
  this dreamer you have had twice. It is established. It
• 1:29:54
  cannot fail. There is always rainy season. You may have
• 1:29:57
  heard me say it as we call it. Rainy season
• 1:30:01
  always comes with a letter from dry season, I am coming.
• 1:30:07
  And dry season always comes with a letter from rainy season,
• 1:30:10
  I am also coming.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: It does not matter what season you're in.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: Every season comes with a letter from the season to come.
• 1:30:18
  If you are enjoying seven years of abundance, do what
• 1:30:21
  Joseph recommended, because there will be seven.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: Seasons of farming.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 4: And even if you are Samaria going through a season
• 1:30:28
  of farming, make sure you read the letter that comes
• 1:30:31
  from that season, that it will not last forever. There
• 1:30:34
  is nothing new under the sun. Have you been blessed
• 1:30:37
  this morning? Rise upon your feet, Allelujah.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: Apologies for stretching your time just to prayer points, and
• 1:30:47
  we're done this morning.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: Lift your hands to Heaven and thank him for what
• 1:30:50
  you have heard. The Bible says, Blessed are your ears
• 1:30:53
  for the hear.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Blessed are your eyes for the sea. Thank you Jesus,
• 1:31:02
  someone's brain, thank him for this that you have heard.
• 1:31:06
  It says. Now that you know this, happier.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: You if you do them. Six keys you were given
• 1:31:13
  this morning. Number one your spiritual connection. Number two that
• 1:31:19
  you were given is your after your spiritual connection. What's
• 1:31:28
  the second?
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: Yes? What's the third light? What's the fourth?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 4: Ah, you've forgotten already. What's number five? Value and productivity?
• 1:31:44
  What's the sixth? Can I tell.
• 1:31:48

• 1:31:54
  the key, you will open it. You will go to
• 1:31:56
  a door you such, you will open it. You go
• 1:31:58
  to a door, you search, you open it. I guarantee
• 1:32:01
  you you hold these keys, you would tame life like
• 1:32:04
  an animal, the.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: Same way men tame dogs and use them for their advantage. Hallelujah.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: Now I want to make a request, and that at
• 1:32:13
  the permission of your pastor that, if you will allow,
• 1:32:16
  I want to please request that you come with a
• 1:32:19
  prayer request.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: If that is fine, to come with a prayer request.
• 1:32:24
  Usually I wrap up my sessions when I have an
• 1:32:26
  opportunity to minister to people like this is a grace
• 1:32:29
  that He's given so that we can agree together as
• 1:32:32
  a family of faith that God will bring miracles for people. Sir,
• 1:32:35
  will that be fine? Okay? So as you come tonight
• 1:32:38
  is going to be an extraordinary moment.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: Please invite everybody I hope that will have the chance
• 1:32:44
  to pray for the sick, speak over your life and
• 1:32:47
  then will pray over this request that any Egyptian that
• 1:32:50
  you see today, that you will see them no more forever.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: May the Lord bless you, the Lord increase you in
• 1:32:56
  Jesus' name.
