Young Men and Ladies: Stop These—It Will Lead to Poverty! – Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  There are many young people going nowhere.
• 0:02
  They call themselves expensive names without the grace to be
• 0:06
  diligent to defend it. Mayor talk.
• 0:10
  You know, I mean, I mean, I'm a millionaire.
• 0:12
  It's just that I'm a humble. I don't want to say anything.
• 0:15
  You know, my there are actions, listen and activities that leads
• 0:27
  to poverty. Show me a man who wakes up in
• 0:30
  the morning and carries his his CV in the name of Jesus, I know
• 0:35
  that I've been delivered. I shouted Amen.
• 0:37
  Spirit of poverty, you are gone by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 0:41
  I will find out whether there's a job opening instead of
• 0:43
  gossiping online, available jobs enter and the spirit of grace
• 0:48
  will route some job somewhere that is paying you so much and
• 0:53
  one thing will lead to the other and favor just comes like that.
• 0:56
  Can I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, laziness as a case
• 1:00
  study will always lead to poverty.
• 1:03
  Even if you are anointed, laziness will always lead to
• 1:07
  poverty. I'm sorry to say there are
• 1:09
  preachers who are lazy. Always resting for doing
• 1:13
  nothing. Always resting for doing
• 1:15
  nothing. There are business people who
• 1:17
  are lazy. You open your shop by 12 and
• 1:21
  close it 5:00 PM for fellowship. Nothing wrong with the
• 1:24
  fellowship, but you are going to be poor because you are not
• 1:26
  taking your work seriously. Are we together?
• 1:30
  Have you seen people like that? Customers come and knock, They
• 1:33
  wake them from sleep. We want to buy the crate of
• 1:37
  minerals. And the people yawn and and say
• 1:39
  why now? Yeah, it's too early. 8:30 No,
• 1:43
  Sir. No, Sir.
• 1:46
  Listen, let me tell you whether you, you've heard me tell you,
• 1:49
  whether you serve God or serve Satan, the one thing both of
• 1:53
  them will not tolerate is laziness.
• 1:54
  Whether it's God you serve or Satan, in case you don't love
• 1:59
  God and you go to Satan, you will still work hard.
• 2:05
  At least the one thing we know that both God and Satan agree on
• 2:09
  is that lazy people have no future.
• 2:12
  Whether you work for the Dark Kingdom, you will still not be
• 2:14
  promoted. Are we together?
• 2:22
  I've had back-to-back troubles. By this morning, I was in Lagos
• 2:25
  for a conference. I return back.
• 2:27
  I'm still standing. There are many young people
• 2:29
  behaving as if they are 70 years.
• 2:31
  Let me tell you the truth. The Bible says I must walk the
• 2:33
  walks of him. After the oil comes on your
• 2:36
  head, use your hand walk. Let me speak to every gentleman
• 2:40
  in Kolonia here. Listen, before you clap, my dear
• 2:44
  people, you know I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm for you.
• 2:46
  Where gentleman? Walk.
• 2:49
  Monday morning, tomorrow, don't wake up and you are snoring and
• 2:52
  stretching and saying I'm anointed.
• 2:54
  Get up and walk. What work do I do?
• 2:57
  Read if you don't have a job, learn from those who know what
• 3:00
  they are doing. Pray, prepare, go and find some
• 3:04
  place to intern while you are waiting.
• 3:07
  But by all means fight laziness. Carrying certificates, wearing
• 3:11
  suits and saying I'm a graduate, thank God for that.
• 3:14
  Be gainfully employed. If a job does not come, make
• 3:17
  Zobo. Make something make do not.
• 3:20
  I will pray for you. Make it, if one door closes, cry
• 3:25
  for a few minutes and force another one to open.
• 3:27
  That's the mindset of champions. Or sit down telling us what
• 3:31
  happened last year. You're not the only one who
• 3:33
  went. We're all in Nigeria here.
• 3:37
  Flimsy excuses you find people make.
• 3:41
  Well, you're not the way it is our our job.
• 3:42
  You've been hearing what is going around.
• 3:44
  We all had it. You are not the only one who was
• 3:46
  affected. The spirit of laziness.
• 3:50
  I cursed it from your life. Please take seriously what I'm
• 3:55
  saying. I cursed it from your life.
• 3:59
  Go and learn tailoring. If you cannot do anything, go
• 4:02
  and learn to be an apprentice somewhere and don't meet
• 4:06
  somebody to help you at your own terms when you are in need.
• 4:10
  Adaptation is proof of honor. Don't meet someone greater than
• 4:13
  you and say we are colleagues. No, there's no colleague
• 4:16
  mentality in the world of growth and knowledge and wealth.
• 4:20
  Are we together? When you want to learn from the
• 4:22
  person who is ahead of you, humble yourself, receive
• 4:25
  instructions and learn. There are many arrogant people
• 4:29
  who want to be wealthy at their own terms.
• 4:31
  They want to be great at their own terms.
• 4:35
  Over here that there's a store and you're looking for a form
• 4:37
  and well, I can manage around how much do you have?
• 4:40
  The man does not have anything. He sits down there and he's
• 4:43
  embarrassed. Customers come.
• 4:44
  He cannot stand up to greet them because the person he's seen is
• 4:47
  his classmates. So what?
• 4:49
  Let the classmates see you so that when God leads you, He will
• 4:52
  know that you did not walk your way by manipulation.
• 4:56
  Are we together? The man who does not have and is
• 5:00
  too big to receive and too big to learn is the one who will
• 5:04
  remain in that condition forever.
• 5:06
  I tell you, if I did not succeed with my life as a man of God, I
• 5:10
  will humble myself. Even if it's somebody I raised,
• 5:13
  I will humble myself and learn. It does not kill.
• 5:17
  It's better to humble yourself and learn and grow.
• 5:19
  Which one is more embarrassing? To learn earlier and bail
• 5:23
  yourself out, or to stand in pride and then you find out
• 5:27
  everybody has gone and left you alone there.
• 5:33
  Our generation is an arrogant generation.
• 5:35
  No results. And yet everybody is everybody's
• 5:38
  colleague. This colleague mentality.
• 5:41
  We are colleagues to fathers who are colleague to senior mentors
• 5:44
  who are colleague to people with potent, undeniable results.
• 5:48
  No learning, no humility to learn.
• 5:53
  Tonight's teaching is hard. Don't worry, it's out of love.
• 5:56
  This is how to prosper you. You don't prosper people by
• 5:59
  massaging their back. You, you give them a push.
• 6:02
  Are we together?
