Transcript
- 0:00Can I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, laziness as a case
- 0:04study will always lead to poverty.
- 0:07Even if you are anointed, laziness will always lead to
- 0:12poverty. I'm sorry to say there are
- 0:14preachers who are lazy. Always resting for doing
- 0:18nothing. Always resting for doing
- 0:21nothing. There are business people who
- 0:23are lazy. You open your shop by 12 and
- 0:27close it. 5:00 PM for fellowship.
- 0:29Nothing wrong with the fellowship, but you are going to
- 0:32be poor because you are not taking your walk seriously.
- 0:36Are we together? Have you seen people like that?
- 0:39Customers come and knock, They wake them from sleep.
- 0:43We want to buy the crate of minerals.
- 0:45And the people yawn and and say why now?
- 0:47Yeah, it's too early. 8:30 No, Sir.
- 0:54No, Sir. Listen, let me tell you whether
- 0:57you you've heard me tell you whether you serve God or serve
- 1:00Satan, the one thing both of them will not tolerate is
- 1:03laziness. Whether it's God you serve or
- 1:06Satan, in case you don't love God and you go to Satan, you
- 1:11will still work hard. At least the one thing we know
- 1:17that both God and Satan agree on is that lazy people have no
- 1:21future. Whether you work for the Dark
- 1:24Kingdom, you will still not be promoted.
- 1:30Are we together? I've had back-to-back troubles.
- 1:35By this morning, I was in Lagos for a conference.
- 1:38I returned back. I'm still standing.
- 1:41There are many young people behaving as if they are 70
- 1:43years. Let me tell you the truth.
- 1:45The Bible says I must walk the walks of him.
- 1:48After the oil comes on your head, use your hand walk.
- 1:53Let me speak to every gentleman in Kalinania here.
- 1:56Listen, before you clap, my dear people, you know I'm, I'm, I'm,
- 2:00I'm for you. Where gentlemen walk.
- 2:04Monday morning, tomorrow, don't wake up and you are snoring and
- 2:07stretching and saying I'm anointed.
- 2:09Get up and walk. What work do I do?
- 2:13Read. If you don't have a job, learn
- 2:15from those who know what they're doing.
- 2:17Pray, prepare, go and find some place to intern while you are
- 2:22waiting. But by all means, fight
- 2:25laziness. Carrying certificates, wearing
- 2:28suits and saying I'm a graduate, Thank God for that.
- 2:31Be gainfully employed. If a job does not come, make
- 2:34Zobo, make something, make doughnuts.
- 2:37I will pray for you. Make it.
- 2:42If one door closes, cry for a few minutes and force another
- 2:45one to open. That's the mindset of champions.
- 2:49Sit down telling us what happened last year.
- 2:51You are not the only one who went through it.
- 2:52We're all in Nigeria here. Flimsy excuses you find people
- 2:58make. Well, you know the way it is our
- 3:02our job. You've been hearing what is
- 3:03going around. We all had it.
- 3:05You are not the only one who was affected.
- 3:09The spirit of laziness. I cursed it from your life.
- 3:15Please take seriously what I'm saying.
- 3:17I cursed it from your life. Go and learn tailoring if you
- 3:22cannot do anything. Go and learn to be an apprentice
- 3:26somewhere and don't meet somebody to help you at your own
- 3:30terms when you are in need. Adaptation is proof of honor.
- 3:35Don't meet someone greater than you and say we are colleagues.
- 3:38No, there's no colleague mentality in the world of growth
- 3:41and knowledge and wealth. Are we together?
- 3:45When you want to learn from the person who is ahead of you,
- 3:48humble yourself, receive instructions and learn.
- 3:52There are many arrogant people who want to be wealthy at their
- 3:55own terms. They want to be great at their
- 3:57own terms. Oh, I hear that there's a store
- 4:02and you're looking for a form and well, I can manage around
- 4:05how much do you have? The man does not have anything.
- 4:08He sits down there and is embarrassed.
- 4:10Customers come. He cannot stand up to greet them
- 4:12because the person he's seen is his classmates.
- 4:14So what? Let the classmates see you so
- 4:17that when God leaves you, you will know that you did not walk
- 4:21your way by manipulation. Are we together?
- 4:26The man who does not have and is too big to receive and too big
- 4:31to learn is the one who will remain in that condition
- 4:34forever. I tell you, if I did not succeed
- 4:37with my life as a man of God, I will humble myself.
- 4:40Even if it's somebody I raised, I will humble myself and learn.
- 4:44It does not kill. It's better to humble yourself
- 4:48and learn and grow. Which one is more embarrassing?
- 4:52To learn earlier and bail yourself out or to stand in
- 4:55pride and then you find out everybody has gone and left you
- 4:59alone there. Our generation is an arrogant
- 5:05generation. No results.
- 5:07And yet everybody is everybody's colleague.
- 5:11This colleague mentality. We are colleagues to fathers.
- 5:14We are colleague to senior mentors.
- 5:16We are colleague to people with potent, undeniable results.
- 5:20No learning, no humility to learn.
- 5:26Tonight's teaching is hard. Don't worry, it's out of love.
- 5:30This is how to prosper you. You don't prosper people by
- 5:33massaging their back. You, you give them a push.
- 5:37Are we together? Some of you have been pampered
- 5:42since they gave birth to you. That's why God sent me to your
- 5:44life to give you another side of how people make it.
- 5:48Nobody will come and say, you know, please be serious with
- 5:51you. It doesn't work that way, Sir.
- 5:53It doesn't work that way in life.
- 5:57You force your portion to come to you.
- 5:59Did you hear what I said?
