5 Decisions You Must Make to Excel in Life by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  Let me give you 5 decisions that you will have to make if you
• 0:05
  want to excel. Maybe we should just write it. 5
• 0:09
  decisions #1 The decision to be serious with God is a very
• 0:16
  powerful decision. You must make a personal
• 0:19
  decision that I will be serious with God.
• 0:24
  My word study, my prayer, my fellowship, my spiritual growth
• 0:31
  is a decision that I make #2 the second decision is a decision to
• 0:39
  be transformed. Make up your mind and decide
• 0:47
  that I'm ready to replace every wrong paradigm, every faulty
• 0:52
  belief system that I have, no matter how it came from, where
• 0:56
  it came from, and how long it has been in my mind.
• 0:59
  I'm ready to work on it. We've done several teachings
• 1:02
  that touch on belief systems. You can do well to get them.
• 1:07
  Listen to me, No matter how born again you are, the level of your
• 1:13
  enlightenment, your paradigm can destroy your destiny.
• 1:19
  The Bible says we have been called out of every tribe and
• 1:22
  every tongue and every nation. Is that true?
• 1:26
  I told you, you know you are transformed when it is difficult
• 1:29
  to trace you to any earthly region.
• 1:34
  I shouldn't just look at you and say you are behaving like Yoruba
• 1:36
  people, ibo ABI, you say yes, I said that's how they behave.
• 1:40
  Or you are a northerner from where?
• 1:42
  And I help you not by prophecy, by the implication of your
• 1:46
  character, your behavior. I help you suggest where you are
• 1:49
  coming from and get it with accuracy.
• 1:52
  If you are transformed, I should.
• 1:55
  I should be so shocked when you tell me where you are coming
• 1:58
  from, territorially speaking, because you have embraced
• 2:02
  another set of values, a belief system that is far superior to
• 2:08
  any race or any culture on earth.
• 2:10
  The only place I should be able to associate with you is heaven.
• 2:17
  I should be shocked when you tell me you are Yoruba, or you
• 2:20
  are Ebo or you are Hausa or you are S South or you are American
• 2:24
  or you are British. You mean it?
• 2:28
  Yes. Born and bred there, Yes.
• 2:33
  Are you not the carpenter's son? But what was I doing at age 12?
• 2:39
  I was ensuring that I'll be transformed.
• 2:41
  So when Satan came believing you meet the capital son, he had one
• 2:45
  who already had. It is written.
• 2:47
  It is written that didn't come with his background.
• 2:50
  It is written was something he outsourced in the way.
• 2:56
  Oh, I know where you come from. The men are very irresponsible.
• 2:59
  Change that narrative through your life.
• 3:02
  The men are very angry. The men are this and that the
• 3:06
  women are like that. Change that narrative.
• 3:11
  Do not be conformed to this world.
• 3:14
  It says, I beseech thee brethren, Romans chapter 12 and
• 3:17
  verse one by the message of God. It says that ye offer your
• 3:21
  bodies a living sacrifice unto God, holy, unacceptable.
• 3:25
  He calls it your reasonable act of service.
• 3:27
  Then verse 2 says do not be conformed to this world.
• 3:31
  It's the Greek word aeon, the thinking pattern that comes with
• 3:34
  this system. It says, but be transformed by
• 3:38
  the renewing of your mind. If you think Zarya and leave
• 3:47
  Zarya, the limitation of Zarya will be on you.
• 3:50
  Are we together now? You can travel to America, and
• 3:55
  yet in the realm of the spirit and in your mind, you are still
• 3:57
  in your village. Have you seen people like that?
• 4:00
  They left Egypt in one day. How long did it take Egypt to
• 4:03
  leave them? Every time they face something,
• 4:06
  Egypt shows up again and God says oh I want to do so much
• 4:10
  with these people. Just because you are physically
• 4:13
  out of a territory does not mean you are delivered from that
• 4:16
  territory. The Word of God is your for eyes
• 4:19
  channel for transformation. Be it unto me according to your
• 4:31
  Word, according to your promises, I can stand secure.
• 4:40
  Will you carve upon my heart the truth that sets me free
• 4:47
  according to Your Word, O Lord? Be.
• 4:53
  Unto me. So from one room you turn to
• 5:00
  Deuteronomy 28 and verse one, and here's what it says to your
• 5:04
  destiny. It shall come to pass if thou
• 5:07
  shalt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to do
• 5:11
  and observe all that is written there.
• 5:14
  It says that you will be exalted above all the nations of the
• 5:17
  earth and that these blessings will come upon you and overtake
• 5:21
  you. I believe that right from where
• 5:25
  you are, God can lift you and give you a voice that the
• 5:28
  nations will hear without faking it.
• 5:32
  Right from where you are, make a decision to be transformed.
• 5:36
  My dear brothers and sisters, transformation does not come by
• 5:39
  impartation. There's no anointing for it.
• 5:42
  There's only grace that supports your diligence to buy the truth
• 5:47
  and to sell it not. It will cost you materials.
• 5:50
  It will cost you the study of Scripture.
• 5:52
  You must invest in the truth. Make that choice to be serious
• 6:02
  with God and to sustain a superior belief.
• 6:05
  When the rich come and talk with you, even though you may not
• 6:08
  have 5 narrow here, but you have the wealth of a superior
• 6:12
  understanding. The wealth of a superior
• 6:16
  understanding #3 The third decision that I want you to make
• 6:25
  with your life is the decision to be exceptionally valuable.
• 6:34
  The decision to be exceptionally valuable.
• 6:41
  The decision to be exceptionally valuable.
• 6:46
  I can break all this into separate studies.
• 6:48
  I've done a lot of them here. We're doing a refresher course
• 6:51
  here to be valuable. Can I tell you this For as long
• 6:57
  as you live in the realm of mediocrity, that is the realm of
• 7:00
  competition, that is the realm of bitterness, that is the realm
• 7:04
  of jealousy, that is the realm of envy, In fact that is the
• 7:08
  realm of the flesh. There is a realm higher than
• 7:12
  those dimensions. Excellence by the Spirit, He
• 7:16
  says, O Lord our God, how excellent His name is.
• 7:20
  Not only great, it excels. Make up your mind that you are
• 7:27
  going to be so valuable it will be impossible for your
• 7:31
  generation to ignore you. Not from a carnal, competitive
• 7:35
  standpoint. But brothers and sisters, hear
• 7:37
  me, nobody will clap for you for nothing.
• 7:40
  People love you, but they love themselves too.
• 7:43
  And if there is nothing in your life that supports Kingdom come,
• 7:47
  if there is nothing in your life that supports the betterment of
• 7:50
  the life of man, you will be at the lower levels of life.
• 7:57
  Are we together? It's a decision I made with my
• 8:00
  life that I will be exceptional. I don't have the assignment and
• 8:06
  I don't have it as a goal to know everything but the areas
• 8:10
  where God has called me to function, the areas where I need
• 8:15
  to be competent as far as my personal progress and Kingdom
• 8:20
  come is concerned. I made-up my mind that I would
• 8:23
  triumph over pain until I get to a level of mastery and
• 8:27
  competence. Someone sent me a text and said,
• 8:32
  Apostle, you're so good, I said, compared to what?
• 8:36
  Compared to what? Compared to my background,
• 8:43
  compared to those around me, no. My reference is scripture, My
• 8:48
  reference is Jesus. My reference is that standard.
• 8:51
  This is what makes you global. Listen to me, listen to me.
• 8:55
  We live in a world of mediocrity where even as a failure, they
• 8:58
  start clapping for you. This is the level of mediocrity
• 9:02
  that is in our sociological context, where nothing has
• 9:07
  started but the uploads have started already.
• 9:10
  No, you must challenge yourself on that.
• 9:13
  God. Make up your mind to be
• 9:16
  valuable. Don't celebrate mediocrity.
• 9:20
  Believe me to not take you far. If you're a worship minister,
• 9:26
  make up your mind that I will sing his praises to the nations
• 9:30
  in a way and manner that kings will be able to call me and they
• 9:33
  will be proud. The grace of God upon my life
• 9:38
  will bring such defense to the gospel that your incompetence
• 9:44
  will not become a reproach to the gospel.
• 9:49
  Believers are lazy people because of provisions like the
• 9:51
  grace of God, the anointing, and the rest.
• 9:53
  So we excuse it and we're not diligent.
• 9:57
  God, even you, you know, I didn't study as I'm coming to
• 9:59
  preach, but would it make would it have made any difference if I
• 10:02
  read? Is it not just your, your
• 10:04
  anointing that comes upon me? And you continue to do it until
• 10:07
  the day God lines all your destiny.
• 10:09
  Help us and you close the door of the next 10 years by
• 10:12
  yourself. Make up your mind that you're
• 10:17
  going to be competent. Don't say I'm in Zarya.
• 10:21
  Don't say I'm young. Don't don't refuse those kinds
• 10:24
  of things. I'm a man of God, I agree, but
• 10:32
  who and who can place a demand on the grace of God upon your
• 10:35
  life and not be disappointed? Ministry ethics 0.
• 10:43
  Proper understanding of the foundational doctrines of
• 10:46
  Scripture 0. The intelligence and even the
• 10:50
  psychology of communication 0. There is a lot of work to do.
• 10:54
  I agree that you're a prayer warrior, but that's not the only
• 10:57
  key to excel in the ministry. You go back and learn the other
• 11:00
  rudiments that make for excellence before you receive
• 11:07
  the uploads of men. Study who is clapping for you
• 11:09
  first. If the devil is clapping,
• 11:15
  runaway. If mediocres are clapping,
• 11:18
  appreciate them, but settle down.
• 11:20
  But if champions clap, even if it's just once, let it be
• 11:25
  healing enough that you're making progress.
• 11:27
  Say in the name of Jesus. I make up my mind to be
• 11:32
  competent, to excel. Are we together?
• 11:37
  Yes Sir. Make up your mind if there is
• 11:41
  one person in this city who will be a reference as far as maybe
• 11:48
  tailoring and fashion is concerned.
• 11:50
  Let it be me. Don't sit down and say believers
• 11:53
  don't come to patronize me. The last time they came to you,
• 11:56
  what did you do? You take it as a challenge and
• 11:59
  go back and do your homework. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 12:03
  Are we blessed? I returned one time from a
• 12:07
  crusade and a dear pastor friend was calling me just to comment
• 12:11
  on what he thought the Lord did in the crusade.
• 12:13
  And when he called me he had a message playing and he said what
• 12:16
  are you doing? I said I'm studying.
• 12:18
  He said you are joking. I thought you just returned back
• 12:20
  to the room like an hour ago. I said yes Sir.
• 12:25
  He said you are studying. I said exactly right with all
• 12:30
  that happened there and I told him something.
• 12:33
  I always said no body claps for you for the same thing twice.
• 12:37
  If they clap once, that's enough for that realm.
• 12:40
  You stay in that realm. You have received the uploads
• 12:42
  once and for all. Champions are goers, forward
• 12:47
  thinkers, Those who win the Olympic as soon as they return,
• 12:51
  Just a few months of rest and they are eat again.
• 12:55
  Reject mediocrity my dear people, reject mediocrity.
• 12:59
  You sang when they invited you in a church.
• 13:01
  You went off key. You didn't even remember how you
• 13:04
  started and how you finished. And someone outside who is your
• 13:07
  relative, your relative will tell you well done no matter
• 13:10
  what you do because they love you.
• 13:11
  But you must be honest and assess yourself, not condemn
• 13:17
  yourself. I can be better, but this is not
• 13:19
  the best. Let me go back and do some work.
• 13:24
  You're listening, You're learning something.
• 13:27
  Try again. Then one day you become a
• 13:30
  master. It's masters that define their
• 13:34
  realities. They define their rewards.
• 13:37
  Nobody's going to bless you and follow you indefinitely.
• 13:41
  Please believe this. You know you are leading when
• 13:45
  someone is following you. It's in you, Lord.
• 14:23
  We just sing it one time as a determination.
• 14:33
  We'll never. Listen.
• 14:44
  Find out how results are produced.
• 14:48
  Find out how things work. Find out how does a church grow?
• 14:57
  How do people excel? How does influence happen?
• 15:01
  How does grace come? How is it multiplied?
• 15:09
  The seed for an answer is a question.
• 15:12
  If you're not asking anything, you don't deserve an answer.
• 15:21
  Hallelujah. I'm always asking questions,
• 15:24
  asking the Holy Spirit, asking uncommon mentors, asking myself,
• 15:29
  asking the word, asking the wisdom of men that has been
• 15:33
  captured in materials. When you ask questions, an
• 15:37
  answer will come. How does this work?
• 15:40
  There has to be a way. She gave her a scoop.
• 15:42
  Ariata Proverbs to 18 verse one to desire a man haven't
• 15:48
  separated himself. The Bible declares secret and
• 15:51
  intimate left with all wisdom. Apostle God is calling me to
• 15:57
  speak to kings. Then you must learn how to speak
• 15:59
  to kings. You don't speak to kings like
• 16:02
  you are speaking to prisoners. You must learn that at the
• 16:06
  ability to speak to kings. Next decision Make a decision.
• 16:25
  A very strong decision that you are going to have very strategic
• 16:33
  destiny relationships. Make a decision that you are
• 16:38
  going to have very strategic destiny relationships.
• 16:44
  Destiny relationships that are intentional, not one that just
• 16:49
  happens intentional. Relationships that help you
• 16:55
  preserve your values. Relationships that challenge you
• 16:59
  to rise to the highest levels of your life.
• 17:02
  Relationships that provide a leverage.
• 17:08
  Be fruitful means be relational. Everything multiplies on the
• 17:15
  basis of relationships. Listen to me, if you categorize
• 17:20
  all men as the same in your life, wisdom is not at work in
• 17:24
  your life. You should be able to write Who
• 17:27
  are the top five men? In all honesty, who are the most
• 17:31
  useful individuals in your life so far?
• 17:34
  Who are the top five people who are deserving of your honor?
• 17:38
  Who are the top five people? Who are the greatest shoulders
• 17:41
  you can lean on? You cannot relate with everybody
• 17:44
  at the same level. No, Jesus had 72.
• 17:49
  Jesus had 12. Jesus had three.
• 17:52
  Jesus had one. There are people, when it has to
• 17:59
  do with resourcefulness, they should always be there within
• 18:04
  your reach. There are people who may not be
• 18:07
  very resourceful, but they are incredibly dependable.
• 18:12
  You can depend on them. You can wake them 2:00 AM in the
• 18:16
  night and say come and help me hold something.
• 18:19
  If you said thing for me, they failed already, but show me what
• 18:23
  I would do. They would do it and stay there.
• 18:28
  You can't communicate the same level of honor to everybody.
• 18:32
  It's lack of wisdom. It's a decision I made with my
• 18:39
  own life. My dear brothers and sisters,
• 18:41
  love everybody, relate with everybody, communicate a level
• 18:46
  of honor to everybody. But if you want to rise, you
• 18:49
  must be intentional and strategic.
• 18:56
  Who are the five people who inspire you spiritually as far
• 19:01
  as your friends and relationships are concerned?
• 19:07
  If all your friends are poor, broke, ungodly, unserious,
• 19:14
  Imagine. Imagine that if there are five
• 19:18
  people around your life who are visionless and unserious, you
• 19:21
  didn't count. Well, they are actually 6.
• 19:28
  Yes Sir, yes Sir. He that walks with the wise, he
• 19:34
  doesn't have to desire to be wise.
• 19:36
  He that walks with the wise, the Bible says he shall be wise
• 19:40
  himself. He says, but the companion of
• 19:43
  fools shall be destroyed. Jesus fasted all night to choose
• 19:51
  12 people as Jesus who filled with the Holy Ghost and he
• 19:56
  fasted and prayed all night. Take the issue of relationships
• 20:02
  very serious in your life. Who is?
• 20:05
  Who are the few people you can depend on for prayer?
• 20:12
  There's an attack in my life I can call you.
• 20:14
  Can we pray? Can we agree?
• 20:16
  If you don't have this in your life, you will not go far.
• 20:20
  For many of you, you destroy your life because the moment you
• 20:23
  are under pressure, whoever is available is the voice you talk
• 20:26
  to. It is not wisdom.
• 20:28
  Nicodemus came to Jesus by night.
• 20:31
  He knew the right person to talk to.
• 20:33
  Rabbi, forget what we said in the day.
• 20:35
  We know that you are a man sent from God, for no man can do
• 20:39
  these things except God. Be with him.
• 20:44
  Are we together? Make up your mind.
• 20:46
  Make up your mind. The Lord says SO5000 naira, you
• 20:55
  just sit and say who do I sow to ABCD?
• 20:59
  And it stops at any name and you just know.
• 21:01
  There's no discernment. There are people in my life who
• 21:06
  are ever deserving of honor. It's intentional.
• 21:10
  I know the grace and I know the role that they played in my life
• 21:13
  and my destiny. It's a decision you have to
• 21:19
  make. Woe besides a man who will look
• 21:24
  left and right and find out you are alone.
• 21:28
  The Bible says it is not good for man to be alone.
• 21:30
  You've had me say it. It's not just talking about a
• 21:32
  woman. That when man is alone it is
• 21:35
  risky because 2 are better than one.
• 21:39
  Then it says a threefold court cannot be easily broken.
• 21:42
  That you must trust God to have at least one or two genuine
• 21:47
  strategic friends in your life. By covenant, not emotion.
• 21:52
  Covenant is higher than emotion. Emotions vacillate.
• 21:56
  I like this. I don't like this covenant.
• 21:58
  You are bound by a revelation. We die together, we stand
• 22:01
  together. This is the principle of Jewish
• 22:06
  people and this is what many non Christians use.
• 22:12
  Is there any man in the House of Saul that I may show him
• 22:15
  kindness for Jonathan's sake? Is there somebody in your life
• 22:22
  today that if you desperately need money like you, you know
• 22:28
  that I'm not talking of borrowing, You actually can go
• 22:31
  to the person and say please, you know, I'm not lazy.
• 22:34
  There is a situation here and the person can actually help you
• 22:37
  sincerely. If nobody likes you that much,
• 22:40
  pray for good favor and help us believe what I'm telling you.
• 22:45
  You may think I'm just entertaining you, but the days
• 22:48
  that come and as you rise, you will see the potency of this.
• 22:54
  If you have to work for everything by yourself, you're
• 22:57
  in trouble. There must be somebody who sees
• 23:01
  your life worthy enough to connect to.
• 23:06
  If nobody wants to come close to you, something is wrong with
• 23:09
  you. Something should happen to your
• 23:12
  life that someone should be able to look at you and say
• 23:14
  friendship is worth it with you. Don't just pray for destiny,
• 23:20
  help us pray to be one. First.
• 23:26
  It's a decision you have to make, a great decision.
• 23:32
  Many of the doors that will open to you in this life will open by
• 23:35
  relationship. War betides you when you stand
• 23:41
  and you are watching the corridors of your destiny with
• 23:44
  many people moving and there is nobody there who your life is
• 23:47
  worth your attention. There are people who may not
• 23:53
  have physical cash, but they have a wealth of relationships.
• 23:58
  There is somebody always remembering them, always
• 24:02
  remembering them for good. I remember five years ago what
• 24:06
  you did. Come and I will lift you.
• 24:08
  Irene, can I bless you? No, I don't need that blessing.
• 24:11
  Do you have a son or anybody around you that I will bless?
• 24:15
  There are people in political positions today not because of
• 24:18
  their competence. Relationships took them there.
• 24:22
  Even your spiritual growth is dependent on relationships.
• 24:28
  Believe us, hear me. The easiest way to rise and
• 24:30
  succeed in life is through relationships.
• 24:35
  It's a decision you have to make in your life.
• 24:40
  If I ask to mention five of your friends, do you have an answer
• 24:46
  or your answer is per week or per season?
• 24:50
  If they pay salary changes, there's no salary changes.
• 24:56
  If God opens a door, it changes. You are, you are.
• 24:59
  You are moving on a time bomb. I've had the honor and the
• 25:05
  privilege of interacting with a few fathers of faith in this
• 25:08
  nation by the grace of God, and one of their secrets is that
• 25:12
  their lives are bound in such secured covenants of
• 25:17
  relationships with a few friends.
• 25:19
  They have. They know someone's car can
• 25:24
  spoil and before he fixes it the friend will send his car and say
• 25:28
  he should be using it until and later I can even be you will not
• 25:32
  even know who is the real owner of the car.
• 25:35
  I know someone whose house burnt before he got there.
• 25:39
  True story, his friend had moved his things to one of his houses
• 25:43
  and said over my dead body that your house is.
• 25:45
  If you don't have this kind of people in your life, hear me,
• 25:48
  I'm, I'm giving you a prayer point.
• 25:50
  Go back and pray before you punish your children and your
• 25:54
  children's children. There must be somebody in your
• 25:58
  life who believes in you enough to die for you.
• 26:02
  Greater love had no man than this, than a man laid down his
• 26:08
  life for his friend. When I was in secondary school,
• 26:13
  there were friends called FFF Friend for food when they visit.
• 26:17
  You know this visiting day that they do.
• 26:19
  All of a sudden, wicked seniors who flog you every time suddenly
• 26:23
  become nice and cautious because your parents are there and some
• 26:30
  of these dangerous people may even be your own family members.
• 26:34
  Someone wants to lift you somewhere and it's your own
• 26:37
  family member that will say no is the last born, don't lift
• 26:40
  him. And yet to come out and laugh
• 26:42
  with you and say how are you? May God keep increasing you.
• 26:45
  Oh May God give you genuine people.
• 26:47
  I pray for you in the name that is above all names.
• 26:51
  May God who is the helper of men bring sincere people to your
• 26:55
  destiny. Sit down.
• 27:03
  It's a decision you have to make.
• 27:14
  One last decision for the sake of time, and then we'll pray.
• 27:20
  I pray that the words that I communicate to you tonight would
• 27:22
  help to shape your destiny, that it will give you a reason to
• 27:25
  think this night. Hallelujah.
• 27:34
  The last decision that I encourage you to make tonight is
• 27:38
  the decision to be empowered, the decision to be spiritually
• 27:46
  empowered, my head. Is exalted like the horn of a
• 27:57
  Unicorn, and I am anointed. With.
• 28:03
  Fresh oil. My.
• 28:07
  Head, you are exalted like the horn of a Unicorn, and I am
• 28:17
  anointed with fresh oil. The decision listen to me.
• 28:25
  The decision to contact genuine, authentic spiritual power to the
• 28:32
  degree that empowers you to represent the purposes of the
• 28:36
  Kingdom without shame is a decision you must make in your
• 28:40
  life. Acts chapter 10 and verse 38 how
• 28:46
  God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. Not just that he was anointed.
• 28:52
  Look at the extent to which God anointed him.
• 28:56
  He went about under the influence of that anointing.
• 28:59
  The Bible declares doing good and healing all day that were
• 29:04
  oppressed of the devil. Believe me when I tell you the
• 29:08
  anointing truly makes you a blessing.
• 29:13
  The capacity to provide supernatural solutions to the
• 29:18
  lives and the destinies of men. The ability from the spirit to
• 29:23
  dislodge the powers of darkness to ward off the arsenals of
• 29:27
  hell. The ability to take advantage of
• 29:31
  the grace and the supply of the Spirit and move destinies
• 29:34
  forward is a worthy decision. It takes more than just quoting
• 29:41
  Scripture. It takes more than just having
• 29:45
  had theological knowledge. Listen to me, dear brothers and
• 29:48
  sisters. It takes even more than just a
• 29:51
  decision to go forward. There must be an embracing of
• 29:54
  the Spirit, a smearing of that oil from heaven that can come
• 30:00
  upon a man and distinguish you, turning you not just to a walk
• 30:05
  of miracles, but to a sign and a wonder yourself.
• 30:08
  It says I am the children that the Lord has given me.
• 30:11
  We are for signs and even for wonders in Israel.
• 30:17
  I'm glad that I made this decision many years ago and I
• 30:21
  thank the Lord God of heaven for the staying power to push and
• 30:25
  endure. It still remains A posture, but
• 30:28
  today I look back and I'm humbled and even broken that God
• 30:33
  granted me the grace to stay and contend for spiritual
• 30:36
  empowerment. Be ready for empty pews if there
• 30:41
  is no genuine anointing. Be ready for an empty life if
• 30:45
  there is no genuine anointing. There is a hungry world that is
• 30:49
  desperate to see Jesus revealed, to see Jesus manifested more
• 30:54
  than just the communication of the talk of men.
• 30:58
  Problems are real, challenges are real, and most of them are
• 31:02
  beyond the realm of intellect. They are beyond the realm of
• 31:06
  science. It is His divine power that
• 31:12
  gives us all things. The giver is his divine power.
• 31:16
  Oh, God has called me to walk in the healing ministry.
• 31:20
  I beg you in the name of Jesus, and I beseech you, stay until
• 31:24
  you contend for grace that is genuine, that can really, truly
• 31:28
  heal the sick. Tomorrow, several thousands of
• 31:34
  people will be here on this ground.
• 31:36
  Several thousands others will be connecting around the world
• 31:40
  hoping and trusting that God will come through for them.
• 31:44
  We can make our boast in the Lord and say come God will heal
• 31:47
  you, come God will deliver you. But will it really happen to
• 31:51
  them? Somewhere right now is depending
• 31:55
  not just on Jesus Christ alone, but depending on your level of
• 32:00
  contention for grace for their mirror.
• 32:03
  You literally have the power to make someone's challenge one day
• 32:07
  left and he's gone. He says to have point on to them
• 32:11
  that morn you can set a date for their liberty.
• 32:18
  What greater expression of love and kindness is more than that
• 32:24
  God is God is calling you into the ministry of wealth and
• 32:28
  abundance more than just your knowledge and sense of finances
• 32:31
  and business. Do you really have the grace
• 32:33
  that empowers people? I became a spiritual
• 32:40
  archaeologist. I took my Bible and I sat down
• 32:45
  and I said, Oh God of heaven, please do not send me with just
• 32:49
  a sermon. My world needs more than a
• 32:53
  sermon. Do not send me with just a good
• 32:56
  heart. My world needs more than a
• 32:59
  sincere heart. Do not send me with more than
• 33:03
  just a kind heart. The world needs more than
• 33:06
  character. The world needs more than a
• 33:09
  sincere heart. There must be an investment of
• 33:13
  the Spirit, power from on high, genuine power that comes upon a
• 33:20
  life and lifts you to a level where your life becomes a sign
• 33:25
  and a wonder where when people behold you, they begin to
• 33:28
  rejoice because they know when they met Jesus they were happy.
• 33:35
  They knew their predicaments had come to an end.
• 33:37
  I continue to pray and challenge myself by the Spirit that God
• 33:42
  will help me to rise to that level in the Spirit, where as I
• 33:45
  stand and I look at people's situation, I can rejoice and cry
• 33:49
  with them and say I know that an end has come.
• 33:52
  Every time they met Jesus, they rejoiced.
• 33:55
  If you were the widow at name and you were on your way to one,
• 33:59
  bury your last child. If you saw Jesus, He represented
• 34:02
  hope. This is my pursuit.
• 34:07
  So while you clap for me and say apostle, thank you for what
• 34:10
  you're doing, my mind is stayed on that target.
• 34:14
  Lord, we must get to a point where we heal nations in a day.
• 34:17
  We must get to a point where we bring continents and territories
• 34:21
  to their knees for Jesus in one day.
• 34:23
  We must be able to dislodge the powers that sit not just over
• 34:27
  families but over territories, bring down these homes in one
• 34:31
  day. There is a dimension of grace
• 34:33
  that can supply that result. Until we are there, we are not
• 34:37
  yet there. This is my motivation.
• 34:44
  I don't listen to the uploads of men for too long.
• 34:47
  Thank you. Thank you for this.
• 34:49
  And that's it. We had the miracle service in
• 34:52
  Abuja. And I mean, I cannot begin to
• 34:56
  tell you the tremendous testimonies, not just their
• 35:00
  online, the mighty testimonies. And when I went back after
• 35:09
  rolling before God to tell him, thank you, I said Father, thank
• 35:13
  you, I am grateful, but I'm not satisfied.
• 35:16
  There was still one person in that auditorium who was not
• 35:19
  healed. There was still 1 destiny that
• 35:22
  was still left because of that one person.
• 35:26
  I forget the things that are behind.
• 35:30
  Don't just say I prayed. 5 people were healed out of how
• 35:33
  many? 10 people were delivered out of
• 35:37
  how many? That your life will be such a
• 35:42
  blessing. Your showing up is like the
• 35:45
  coming of the of His Majesty himself.
• 35:48
  The lifting of your voice is like the opening of the gates of
• 35:52
  men's destinies. Brothers and sisters, until we
• 35:56
  get there as a ministry and as individuals, let us not be
• 36:00
  complacent with what God is doing.
• 36:02
  Thank God for what God is doing with Koinonia all around the
• 36:05
  world, but do not fall into the seduction of greatness.
• 36:09
  The enemy of best is better. Better looks very comfortable,
• 36:16
  but we must keep pressing. With everything, with
• 36:23
  everything, we will shout. Seeing then that ye are
• 37:37
  surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, the Bible
• 37:40
  declares, it says, let us lay aside every weight and the sin
• 37:45
  that don't easily beset us. Then it says that we run with
• 37:49
  perseverance the race that is set before us.
• 37:52
  Looking onto Jesus, the Bible declares who is the offer and
• 37:56
  the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before
• 38:01
  him, the Bible says He endured the cross and despise the shame.
• 38:11
  Prayer point #1 Father, my life must count.
• 38:15
  I obtain grace, grace from heaven, lift your voice and
• 38:18
  pray. I make a decision that my life
• 38:23
  must come. As far as Kingdom come is
• 38:28
  concerned, my life must come. Make sure you
• 38:56
  are free. Are you praying?
