Transcript
- 0:00You know where when the Holy Spirit opens your eyes, you will
- 0:03now check the Bible and you will see things that you have not
- 0:06seen before. Do you know in preparing these
- 0:09notes, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes and I saw where Paul took
- 0:14time. If you see the long list of help
- 0:17as Paul wrote this ministry of Paul that we said to thoughts of
- 0:21the New Testament, you need to know how many people helped him.
- 0:24You want to see it Romans chapter 16.
- 0:29Let's begin from verse one. The names are hard.
- 0:32I won't attempt. I will just be jumping the
- 0:34names. So I'm telling you in advance.
- 0:36Now are we together? 1 to go.
- 0:40I commend. No, no, no.
- 0:42Well, I will start if if I say we should do it together, there
- 0:44will be a lot of confusion because there are plenty names
- 0:46there, yet they are all help us. I commend you to Phoebe, our
- 0:50sister. Let me look at this from OK, go
- 0:56ahead. Go ahead.
- 0:57Give it to us. I commend you to Phoebe, our
- 1:00sister, which is a servant of the church.
- 1:03Have you seen all those names? Now they've started.
- 1:05Oh, verse 2, that ye receive her.
- 1:09Listen, listen, listen, listen that ye receive her in the Lord.
- 1:13He's come. He's recommending the lady now
- 1:16has become a Saints and that he assist her in whatsoever
- 1:21business she had need of you for she had been a soucora of many,
- 1:27even myself. I benefited from her.
- 1:30This is the apostle speaking. He said this woman is coming to
- 1:33your city the same way she has invested help make sure you help
- 1:37her to whatever she needs to be effective provide for her
- 1:42because this woman has been a soucora of many.
- 1:46He says even me I benefited next verse there are other people to
- 1:52greet not everybody greet Priscilla and Aquila.
- 1:56Who are they my help us feel free to greet anyone you meet on
- 2:02the road, but from me greet Priscilla and Aquila.
- 2:07Why? Because they are help us in
- 2:10Christ Jesus verse four, who have for my life laid down their
- 2:16own necks on to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the
- 2:22churches of the Gentiles. This is the extent of their
- 2:25help. Verse 5 likewise greet the
- 2:30church that is in their house. It says salute my well beloved,
- 2:35look at that name. Look at that name for God's
- 2:37sake. Yet that is the name of a
- 2:39helper. So it doesn't matter the name of
- 2:44the helpers, if they help us, it will be there.
- 2:50Who is the first fruit of Akaya unto Christ?
- 2:53Verse 6, Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
- 2:59Have you seen all the people he's greeting?
- 3:02Let's just stop at verse 6. You can read down this man took
- 3:06a list. Your busy apostle took a list of
- 3:10noting certain people. The people he called were not
- 3:14just apostles that he was calling help us people who had
- 3:18made his weakness easy. This is this is something that
- 3:23the body of Christ does not understand.
- 3:26We have dealt with manipulations.
- 3:29We have dealt with the subject of you know, you know,
- 3:33fraudulent activities, but to stop there is dangerous.
- 3:37The church must be educated to know that being a Co laborer
- 3:42with God means that you must stand to make his work easy in
- 3:46every ramification. Let me tell you sincerely, and I
- 3:51submit to you with all humility. I have seen pastors and I've
- 3:55seen people who love Jesus Christ with all their hearts and
- 3:59some of them have seen their lives and their living
- 4:01conditions and it's a very terrible thing.
- 4:05I've seen their wives have seen their children and sometimes you
- 4:09are wondering the people that they labor over.
- 4:12Is it that the people are not thoughtful to know that I have a
- 4:16God ordained assignment. You see, let me teach you
- 4:20something, dear people and and and it's very uncomfortable for
- 4:23me, but I have to teach you because it's the truth.
- 4:27Anytime you find yourself in a place, not just a ministry,
- 4:34participate in making the overall value process effective.
- 4:39Do not just be a benchwarmer. Make sure your seed, your
- 4:43goodwill, your prayer. If you have influence and it can
- 4:48become a leverage. Are we together?
- 4:50The ministry of helps is not just limited to finances that
- 4:54everything within your power and I bless God for great people in
- 5:00this ministry and in my life who have played this strategic
- 5:03roles. They have made the service of
- 5:06God easy. Several things right now there's
- 5:11the US Team Canada team were not there yet, but they are help us
- 5:16laboring day and night making things happen.
- 5:19There are people who have given and given and given again.
- 5:23Help us. The Bible talks about Uziah.
- 5:27I think that should be Second Chronicles chapter 26 and verse
- 5:3215. If I recall that Uziah prospered
- 5:35because he was marvelously helped of God.
- 5:39It is on the strength of help that people go forward.
- 5:42Second Chronicles, I believe 26 and verse 15 prospered because
- 5:48he was marvelously helped that he was helped until he made
- 5:52progress, marvelously helped and his fame, his name spread far
- 5:59abroad for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.
- 6:05You never become strong until you are helped, helped in
- 6:08business, helped in ministry. Are we together?
- 6:11There are some of you here and and I want to listen to me.
- 6:15Your one Naira, your $1.00 has never gone into the project of
- 6:20Kingdom come. I'm teaching you this as a
- 6:22responsibility. It is a very bad attitude.
- 6:26Now, you don't have to, but if you love Jesus and you are
- 6:31trained to be a responsible believer, you learn this.
- 6:34No Kingdom program should happen within a ministry, within a
- 6:40life, within a vessel you are part of as an individual.
- 6:49I have seeds that I've sown for Sound of Revival.
- 6:52US, Canada, are we together? UK?
- 6:57I have seeds that are prepared for our November conference
- 7:00coming. It does not matter that I'm a
- 7:02man of God. It does not matter that I leave
- 7:05this ministry. Obedience is obedience.
- 7:07Disobedience is disobedience. Kingdom principles are Kingdom
- 7:11principles beyond a man of God. I'm a cold laborer with God.
- 7:16This is the reason why you see God continues to do the things
- 7:19that He's doing. Helps haven't obtained help from
- 7:27God, I continue this day. It takes help to continue.
- 7:32Are we together now? Yes, sometimes honestly, and I'm
- 7:37saying this not not to spite you, I love you with all my
- 7:40heart, but sometimes I sit down. I think to myself, if I was
- 7:43depending on men for tea and bread, maybe one day I would
- 7:49just come here and get a chance. Sit down and start crying and
- 7:52just sit down and say you people, is it that you have not
- 8:00you are give us don't worry. I know you are give us all
- 8:03right, God is helping you, but I'm teaching you the truth is
- 8:06still the truth and some of you have money which is which makes
- 8:12it worse. Don't say you love Jesus if your
- 8:20seed is not part of his program. When you love, you give.
- 8:25If you cannot give seeds, you can give access.
- 8:29Access. If it takes 10 minutes for a job
- 8:33to be done and under your influence, it can be done in 2
- 8:36minutes without compromise and become an edge for the gospel
- 8:41you have provided. Helps.
- 8:43Are we together? Yes, so many believers do not
- 8:49know that this is a way we label with God.
- 8:53We label with God. I remember a woman who
- 8:56humorously sent me a text and said, Apostle, you are coming to
- 8:59Canada. And an elderly mother.
- 9:01In fact, perhaps she's even watching now.
- 9:04And she said, please, I'm ready to provide your meals and all of
- 9:07that. And I just laughed to myself.
- 9:09I said, no, there are younger people.
- 9:10How how will I be so stupid to allow a woman the age of my
- 9:14grandmother to be cooking for me while I'm there?
- 9:18I want to live long. Are we together?
- 9:24Rather should be sowing into her life to bless her.
- 9:29But there are some of you. Jesus is passing.
- 9:31It's none of your business. Jesus needs a boat.
- 9:35It's none of your business. OK, He has caught the fish.
- 9:38Help him and bring it to the boats.
- 9:40None of your business. Help to smoke the fish to
- 9:45preserve it. So there's no decadence.
- 9:47It's none of your business, OK, call other laborers to come and
- 9:51join. It's none of your business.
- 9:53And yet we hypocritically say Lord, I love you, you know, even
- 9:57you, you know, and God says no. This is a strange unfamiliar
- 10:01voice is a voice that does not participate in my program.
- 10:05I tell you sincerely, and I say this under God, if I were not a
- 10:09preacher, probably a major part of my ministry would have been
- 10:14providing helps to see the work of God go forward.
- 10:17I'm looking for people who establish a business with a
- 10:21covenant from God. They are already blessed to, but
- 10:23they are establishing a business and the purpose is to fund the
- 10:27gospel. It is your way of contributing
- 10:30to the integrity of preachers that this compromises here and
- 10:34there because of finances. It is not just enough to point
- 10:37fingers. Let me take that responsibility
- 10:39and be empowered by God to see to it that Sukko can be provided
- 10:45here. For as long as I live every
- 10:54effort I can make financially, using the bit of influence and
- 10:59access God has given that can make the program of God advance,
- 11:04I will not spare in giving my best.
- 11:07I have written it in songs. They have become my
- 11:10contemplations and my meditations.
- 11:13And this is my pledge unto God. If I can help somebody go to
- 11:18school as a way of providing more room for laborers to come,
- 11:23I will do that. If I can help somebody to be
- 11:26healthier than he or she is, if I can encourage a man of God who
- 11:30is discouraged and that can help him to stand strong in
- 11:34integrity, I will do it. Listen, don't just profess and
- 11:40shout. I love you Jesus.
- 11:43No. And please by this talk, don't
- 11:45allow any pressure. I'm not putting pressure on your
- 11:48finances at all. But it's important to learn
- 11:51this. It's it's responsibility.
- 11:54There's not supposed to be a special time to collect or no.
- 11:58No one's believers are mentored. Every time you hear of God's
- 12:02program immediately you know I am a Co laborer.
- 12:07My best Lord is everything I have.
- 12:12My best Lord, I give all I have to you.
- 12:18My best Lord, it's everything I have.
- 12:24My best Lord, I give all I have to you.
- 12:34Jesus. If my vehicle can help the
- 12:37gospel get faster, find honor in using it.
- 12:41If my home can help your program to to go places faster, let it
- 12:48be an honor. Jesus.
- 12:51If my Bible can be used as an accelerator system for the
- 12:55gospel. We grew up with an orientation
- 13:03that we did not own anything and everything we have belongs to
- 13:08him. Most Christians say that what is
- 13:11just church talk, they don't mean it.
- 13:14They don't mean it sincerely. Let me tell you, and I'm sharing
- 13:19with you this, every major money that God brings to my life, God
- 13:24sees my heart. I already know that there is a
- 13:27portion of it for Kingdom. There is a portion for my
- 13:32well-being. There's a portion for my future,
- 13:35but there is a portion for Kingdom come.
- 13:38It is impossible for God to show me mercy and then I carry
- 13:42everything and open my mouth and throw it in.
- 13:44Now I love Him more than that. It is the reason why his hand
- 13:51does not spare in being outstretched, because you has
- 13:55seen that your heart is truly with Him.
- 13:58Is someone learning now? Call laborers.
- 14:07God is seeking for a man who will stand in prayer and
- 14:11intercession for God's program. God is seeking for a man who
- 14:16will go. Go in all its ramification.
- 14:19Not just talk, not just confess, but go.
- 14:24Making your life count.
