  Amen and Amen and Amen. How many of us are ready for

  Amen. Ghana Takoradi.

  I'm happy again to be here. Thank you.
• 0:27
  Very happy to be here. And I saw so many people
• 0:32

• 0:34
  to shout Hallelujah? Amazing.
• 0:39
  Let's give them a Big God bless you.
• 0:41
  Big God bless you. Hallelujah, Bishop.

  Thank you so much, you and your dear wife.

  I appreciate the graciousness. I appreciate everyone.
• 0:54
  And to the fathers in the land, I truly honor you.
• 0:58
  I appreciate every single one of you.
• 1:00
  May not know you by name, but I honor you deeply and I honor you
• 1:04
  sincerely. And for every man and woman of
• 1:09
  God here represented everyone worthy of honor.
• 1:13
  We honor you very deeply in the name of Jesus.
• 1:16
  God has granted us the privilege.
• 1:19
  Oh, by the way, let's celebrate. That is my first time listening
• 1:23
  to him. I've sang his song, but it's an
• 1:25
  incredible what's his name again?
• 1:27
  Emoji, please. Incredible, incredible.
• 1:31
  God bless you, Hallelujah. I was I was so blessed just
• 1:36
  hearing him lean worship and I knew that this was someone who
• 1:40
  truly loved the Lord, truly loved the Lord.
• 1:43
  May God bless you. Hallelujah.
• 1:47
  We're here tonight to experience the glory, the grace, the power
• 1:52
  of God. And I want you to know that
• 1:55
  there are no limits when God decides to visit His people.
• 2:00
  And so let's open up our heart and receive that which can
• 2:04
  upgrade our lives. If you are ready, lift your
• 2:07
  hands passionately to heaven and ask the loved one encounter.
• 2:11
  Go ahead, passionately ask the Lord for an encounter.
• 2:19
  The Bible says He sent forth His Word, His word.
• 2:23
  He let them and delivered them from all their destruction.
• 2:29
  Someone is praying. Shabalako sabra de belleca para
• 2:44
  jusieta satellena caparato siata.
• 2:49
  Take me to another level in the Spirit, another level in power,
• 2:54
  another level of wisdom, another level of grace, another level of
• 2:58
  fire. Someone is praying.
• 3:01
  A man of God is desperately praying.
• 3:03
  A businessman is praying, someone who desires to
• 3:08
  experience God at another level is free.
• 3:12
  The Bible says for everyone that asketh receiveth few more
• 3:25
  seconds, you're crying to the God of heaven.
• 3:29
  Give me an encounter, a destiny defining encounter, for in Jesus
• 3:41
  name we pray. We look to Yahweh, Yahweh.
• 3:52
  Our hope is Yahweh, Yahweh. Yes, we look to Yahweh, Yahweh
• 4:06
  forever Yahweh, Yahweh. We look to Yahweh, Yahweh.
• 4:20
  My hope is Yahweh, Yahweh. We look to Yahweh.
• 4:31
  Yahweh. Forever, Yahweh, Spirit of the
• 4:41
  living God, we pray that you will help us tonight.
• 4:45
  We're gathered tonight to be changed.
• 4:47
  We're gathered tonight to be transformed.
• 4:50
  I pray in the name of Jesus that your word will come with power.
• 4:54
  Let it liberate, let it transform.
• 4:56
  Let it empower. And to Jesus be all the glory.
• 5:01
  For in Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 5:04
  Amen. God bless you.
• 5:05
  Please be seated. Please be seated.
• 5:08
  Please be seated. Am I clear enough?
• 5:12
  Can you hear me? Those outside, can you hear me
• 5:17
  OK? God bless you.
• 5:18
  I need to know that you're hearing me.
• 5:21
  I have profound respect for the Word of God because I have, by
• 5:29
  the message of God, learned the value of the Word of God as far
• 5:37
  as a man's becoming is concerned.
• 5:39
  As far as a man's transformation is concerned, God's method has
• 5:45
  always and will always be the Word of God.
• 5:50
  God's method to lift is through His Word.
• 5:53
  God's method to bless is through His Word.
• 5:57
  God's method to heal, to deliver, to empower, to set free
• 6:01
  is through His Word. And every time you receive the
• 6:04
  Word of God, you also receive every blessing that comes with
• 6:09
  the Word. Every time you reject the Word,
• 6:12
  you also reject the blessings that come with the Word.
• 6:16
  Hallelujah. There are benefits to receiving
• 6:19
  the Word, the Word as a person and the Word as the thinking of
• 6:25
  God. The Bible says bless the Lord
• 6:27
  all my soul and all that is within me, Bless His holy name.
• 6:31
  Then he says, bless the Lord all my soul and forget not His
• 6:37
  benefits. There are benefits who
• 6:39
  forgivethine iniquity, who heal your your diseases, who delivers
• 6:44
  your soul from destruction, crowns you with loving.
• 6:47
  Kindness and tender mercies. Who satisfies you with good
• 6:51
  things so that you are renewed like the eagle?
• 6:55
  There are benefits to receiving the word, and I'm praying for
• 6:59
  you that every benefit connected to the prophetic word you are
• 7:02
  about to hear. May it rest upon your life that
• 7:06
  what you will receive tonight will not just be an information.
• 7:10
  What you will receive tonight will not just be intelligent
• 7:13
  communication, but that you will receive the Spirit and the life
• 7:17
  that comes with the Word. If we're together, shout out
• 7:19
  loud. Amen.
• 7:22
  I'm teaching tonight on a series that will span to our final
• 7:26
  session tomorrow in light with your team.
• 7:29
  The path of the just the path of the just Proverbs chapter 4 and
• 7:36
  verse 18. The path of the just tonight
• 7:41
  through this teaching, you'll be receiving words that would
• 7:44
  transform you. You'll be receiving instructions
• 7:47
  in righteousness that. If.
• 7:49
  And when adhered to will upgrade your life evidently.
• 7:54
  May that be your portion in Jesus name.
• 7:57
  Let's read together. Can you see it projected?
• 8:00
  All right? Want to go?
• 8:01
  But the part of the just is as the shining light, that shining
• 8:08
  more and more onto the perfect day one more time.
• 8:12
  But the part of the just is as the shining light that shining
• 8:19
  more and more onto the perfect day.
• 8:24
  That means in God's mind, no believer should ever have a
• 8:29
  better yesterday. Are we together now?
• 8:33
  God has so designed that when you are in Christ and when you
• 8:36
  walk with Him, every day should be a higher experience, a higher
• 8:42
  experience of exploits, a higher experience of greatness, a
• 8:47
  higher experience of transformation.
• 8:50
  Rising up today and going down tomorrow is inconsistent with
• 8:54
  God's will. It's inconsistent with God's
• 8:57
  desire for the believer. The Bible very clearly here
• 9:01
  tells us that the path of the just, not the path of every man.
• 9:06
  The part of the just is as a shining light that shine it more
• 9:11
  and more brighter and brighter onto the perfect day.
• 9:16
  So advancement is God's desire for everyone.
• 9:20
  Incremental greatness is God's desire for everyone that it
• 9:24
  should never be based on God's thinking and based on God's
• 9:29
  expectation that you have to look back into yesterday simply
• 9:33
  because your tomorrow is pale and frail in glory.
• 9:37
  The glory that God has invested upon the believer is the glory
• 9:42
  that excels. Did you hear what I just said?
• 9:44
  That the glory that God has invested upon the believer is
• 9:49
  the glory that excels. That means God expects increased
• 9:54
  advancement, progress in every aspect of your life.
• 9:58
  I'm reminded of Exodus chapter 14 and verse 15.
• 10:02
  This is a nation of Israel standing before the Red Sea.
• 10:07
  And the Bible says Moses went to the Lord and was crying because
• 10:12
  now he was in limbo. He was confused.
• 10:14
  They were stagnated. The Red Sea was before them, and
• 10:19
  Pharaoh and his armies were behind them to get them back
• 10:22
  into slavery. And hear what the Lord said unto
• 10:25
  Moses. Wherefore cry as thou unto me.
• 10:29
  Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward.
• 10:35
  That means in God's mind, not the Red Sea nor any obstacle
• 10:39
  should stop the believer from making advancement.
• 10:42
  And let me prophecy to someone already in the name of Jesus,
• 10:46
  the Son of the living God, I speak.
• 10:48
  To you go forward, go forward. I'm only speaking to a receiver.
• 10:54
  Go forward, go forward in ministry.
• 10:57
  Go forward in destiny in the name of Jesus.
• 11:02
  The Bible says by you I can run. Through a troop.
• 11:06
  It says by my God, I can leap. Over a wall.
• 11:12
  Can you imagine? That Moses is going to God as a
• 11:16
  responsible leader. You're leading over 2.5 million
• 11:20
  people and there is a Red Sea before you, there is an angry
• 11:24
  army before you and God acts as if he does not see the
• 11:28
  obstacles, he said. Tell the people that they go
• 11:32
  forward. Tell them that they go forward
• 11:35
  in spite of the economic situation.
• 11:38
  Tell them that they go forward in spite of the presence of
• 11:42
  demons and curses and yokes. Tell them that they go forward.
• 11:46
  In spite of limitations around ministry in Ghana, tell them
• 11:50
  that they go forward. That means in God's mind, there
• 11:54
  is no excuse whatsoever for stagnation.
• 12:00
  Are we together? There is no excuse whatsoever
• 12:05
  tell the people that they go forward because a path of the
• 12:10
  just whether that just is a man of God, a businessman, a
• 12:16
  student, an individual, a family person.
• 12:20
  The Bible says in your divine ordination, your path should
• 12:24
  always be glorious. Every attack on your destiny
• 12:30
  that wants to ensure that you can't go forward.
• 12:33
  Every attack that wants to make 2023 better than 2024, in the
• 12:38
  name of Jesus, I declare Those obstacles give way now.
• 12:43
  Those obstacles give way now. Those obstacles give way now.
• 12:49
  Please be seated. Tell the people that they go
• 12:54
  forward. Someone prophesied to yourself,
• 12:56
  say go forward. You are speaking.
• 12:59
  Go forward. Save myself.
• 13:02
  Go forward. No, You have camped around this
• 13:05
  level of anointing. Go forward.
• 13:06
  You have camped around this level of grace.
• 13:09
  Go forward. Grace can be multiplied.
• 13:12
  Influence can be multiplied. Power can be multiplied.
• 13:15
  Wisdom can be multiplied, can talk, can be multiplied.
• 13:19
  Tell yourself, go forward. Go forward.
• 13:22
  In ministry, higher levels of grace, higher levels of power,
• 13:26
  higher levels of spirit. What?
• 13:28
  Illumination tell the people that they.
• 13:33
  Go forward. They go forward Luke chapter 2
• 13:39
  and verse 52. The Bible says speaking about
• 13:43
  Jesus, our pattern, man, Jesus came as a model of God's
• 13:48
  expectation for the believer. And the Bible says Jesus
• 13:52
  increased, not even Jesus violated that order of growth.
• 13:58
  Jesus increased in wisdom, increased in stature, increased
• 14:05
  in favor with God and with man. One more time, prophecy, I say
• 14:11
  myself, go forward. Say it again myself.
• 14:16
  Go forward. Oh yes, go forward for the sake
• 14:19
  of those connected to your grace.
• 14:21
  Go forward for the sake of your children.
• 14:24
  Go forward for the sake of all the souls connected to your
• 14:28
  apostleship, connected to your bishopry.
• 14:31
  Go forward. Go forward in spite of the
• 14:34
  obstacles. Go forward in the name of Jesus.
• 14:41
  Listener piracy high. Manifest your power and your
• 14:51
  wisdom till the nations see Jesus.
• 14:58
  Lift it up. Exalted I receive, I manifest
• 15:09
  your power and your wisdom, till the nation see Jesus lift it up.
• 15:22
  Glorify. Listen for someone at the end of
• 15:26
  this conference. In the name of Jesus Christ, you
• 15:30
  will search for your former self and you will not find it again.
• 15:34
  You will search for your weak self, your prayerless self, your
• 15:38
  worthless self, your canal self. There will be a transition in
• 15:42
  the Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 15:50
  Please be seated the path of the just.
• 15:55
  Is as a. Shining light that shines
• 16:01
  brighter and brighter. Now let me your attention
• 16:05
  please. Hallelujah.
• 16:08
  There is a law that controls advancement in the Spirit,
• 16:15
  advancement in the Kingdom, advancement in destiny.
• 16:21
  I need you to hear this in as much as it is God's desire for
• 16:25
  you and I to make progress. His desire and intent for you
• 16:30
  does not guarantee that it will happen in your life.
• 16:35
  There are many things God desires for His people that may
• 16:38
  not be captured in their experience because the Kingdom
• 16:42
  operates based on laws and principles.
• 16:47
  Job chapter 38 and verse 33. It says no.
• 16:51
  W thou the ordinances of heaven, and cans thou establish the
• 16:56
  dominion thereof upon the earth. NLT and I think NIV says, do you
• 17:02
  know the laws of the heavens? Do you know the laws of the
• 17:06
  universe? Can you use them to regulate the
• 17:10
  earth? That means heaven is the way it
• 17:14
  is not just because of the presence of God.
• 17:17
  There are ordinances, there are laws, there are mysteries, there
• 17:21
  are principles that make heaven the way it is.
• 17:24
  And the Bible says you are able to trap those laws, to import
• 17:28
  them to your space and reproduce heaven within your space.
• 17:33
  It says, Thy Kingdom come by your will, being done in earth
• 17:38
  as it is in the heavens. Are we learning now?
• 17:41
  So in as much as we have established the fact that it is
• 17:45
  God's desire that we make incremental progress spiritually
• 17:49
  first and then across every area of life, you will be surprised
• 17:54
  how many believers who love Jesus, how many believers who
• 17:58
  serve Jesus and may never come into the reality of advancement,
• 18:04
  of glory, of greatness. And the reason for that is why I
• 18:09
  want to teach you tonight. There is a law that governs
• 18:13
  advancement. You don't just grow in ministry.
• 18:16
  No, you engage laws that translate to growth.
• 18:21
  You don't just grow in your finances.
• 18:23
  Desire is important, but not enough.
• 18:29
  The prize for advancement will demand more than desire.
• 18:33
  The Bible says true desire, a man haven't separated himself
• 18:38
  secret and intermediate with every kind of wisdom.
• 18:43
  Desire is the starting point, but it cannot end just with
• 18:47
  desire. So you hear many believers tell
• 18:50
  you, I want to see the glory of God, maybe a pastor in ministry.
• 18:54
  I want to walk in greater levels of the anointing science.
• 18:57
  And wonders increase in ministry, but not many are able
• 19:02
  to step into that experience. And in discussing this subject,
• 19:08
  the Lord placed it very strongly upon my heart to discuss with
• 19:12
  you. Some of the keys that are
• 19:15
  responsible for making advancement, in fact, really
• 19:20
  just one of them for tonight Are you ready is called the power of
• 19:25
  decisions, the power of decisions, the power of
• 19:33
  decisions, Joshua chapter 24, please.
• 19:36
  And verse 15, Someone's life is about to change.
• 19:39
  Joshua chapter 24 and verse 15. But if you refuse to serve the
• 19:44
  Lord, then choose today is that KJV?
• 19:49
  Let's leave it at KJV. Choose ye this day.
• 19:54
  It says whom ye will serve, whether the gods of your
• 19:59
  father's or the ones you met at the other side.
• 20:04
  But I like what Joshua said. But As for me?
• 20:08
  And my house I have made my choice, that I will serve the
• 20:14
  Lord. The command is choose ye this
• 20:18
  day, choose ye this day. Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse
• 20:24
  19. Deuteronomy chapter 30, please,
• 20:27
  and verse 19. Very profound revelation.
• 20:30
  Let's read it together. We can read this together.
• 20:33
  Ready. 1 to go. I call heaven and earth to
• 20:37
  record this day against you that I have set before you life and
• 20:44
  death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life that both
• 20:51
  you and your seed may leave. Now look at this scripture very
• 20:56
  carefully. The first thing we learn here is
• 21:00
  that whatever you end up choosing effects beyond you.
• 21:05
  The Bible says choose life. You are the one who makes the
• 21:08
  decision, but the consequences that follow that decision go
• 21:12
  beyond you. It says you and your seed may
• 21:17
  leave. If you choose death, you and
• 21:21
  your seed will die. If you choose poverty, you and
• 21:26
  your seed will be poor. If you choose mediocrity and
• 21:30
  spiritual carelessness, you and your seed.
• 21:34
  Immediately you learn that decisions go beyond the
• 21:38
  individual who made the decision, that it affects those
• 21:42
  around you, those connected to you.
• 21:45
  Your CDA does not just refer to your biological children alone.
• 21:50
  Everybody who is within the circumference of your destiny is
• 21:54
  implicated by your decision. I call heaven and earth to
• 22:02
  record this day against you that I have set before you life and
• 22:08
  death. I have set before you a life of
• 22:12
  glory and beauty and color, or a life of pain and regret and
• 22:16
  mediocrity. I have set before you an
• 22:19
  opportunity to excel in ministry, an opportunity to
• 22:23
  bring great glory to the name of the Lord.
• 22:25
  I have set before you an opportunity to carry a mighty
• 22:29
  anointing or an opportunity to wallow in jealousy, pain and
• 22:34
  mediocrity. I have set before you blessing
• 22:38
  and cursing, life and death. I can only advise you I will not
• 22:43
  force you now. Look up please.
• 22:47
  I was teaching somewhere before coming into Ghana and one of the
• 22:51
  things I taught them is that God gave man an ability that no
• 22:58
  other creature of his has, and that ability is the power to use
• 23:04
  your will to redefine your destiny.
• 23:09
  This privilege to use your will consciously, intelligently, and
• 23:16
  redefine your destiny is an ability and a privilege that God
• 23:21
  gave only man. Now pay attention, because not
• 23:27
  everyone of God's creature is called man.
• 23:30
  There is a condition for God's creature to be called man.
• 23:34
  I told them that. Number one, for you to be called
• 23:37
  man, you must be a spirit. If you are not a spirit, you
• 23:40
  cannot be called man #2. That spirit must be domiciled in
• 23:45
  a body. If that spirit is not in a body,
• 23:50
  a body that was framed using the materials of earth, you cannot
• 23:54
  be called man #3 that spirit must be connected to the solica
• 23:59
  faculties of will, emotion, and intellect.
• 24:03
  Until this tripartite factors coexist within the same entity,
• 24:08
  you cannot call that entity man. Are we together?
• 24:15
  So it's a privilege and an honor to be called man, not just a
• 24:19
  creature. Man.
• 24:22
  The heaven of heaven belongs to the Lord, but the earth had he
• 24:26
  given not to all of his creature, The children of men,
• 24:29
  are we together? The Dominion mandate was not
• 24:32
  given to all of God's creature. It was given to man.
• 24:36
  So the Bible says, what is man that thou art mindful of?
• 24:38
  Not the Son of man, that thou visitest him.
• 24:41
  The entire economy of the Spirit revolves around this entity
• 24:46
  called man. In fact, the Bible puts it this
• 24:48
  way, that the. NS expectation of creation.
• 24:52
  Awaits the manifestation of the sons of God, not the creatures
• 24:57
  of God, the sons of God. No matter how hell the other
• 25:00
  creatures are, if man does not rise to his potential, God's
• 25:04
  program cannot happen. Man, are we learning already?
• 25:10
  So there's God gave man a will, and listen carefully with that
• 25:16
  will. He gave you the ability, even at
• 25:20
  the detriment of your eternal destiny, to make choices.
• 25:24
  That goes against His will, and He will respect it.
• 25:27
  This is profound. I don't know if I would have
• 25:32
  been able to take that kind of risk if I were God.
• 25:36
  I would not build a creature that has not been tested and
• 25:40
  give that creature such profound privilege that the creature has
• 25:44
  the power to even fight its creator, and the creator will
• 25:48
  respect it. Are we together?
• 25:51
  We build cars, we build apps, but we make sure those apps are
• 25:56
  obedient. There is usually something that
• 26:00
  compels obedience. You can shut it down, you can
• 26:05
  tame animals, you can tame every other thing, but God gave man
• 26:09
  wheel, the wheel. Listen carefully that you can
• 26:12
  use that wheel and look the God of creation and say I make my
• 26:17
  choice to reject you, and he will respect you.
• 26:22
  As powerful as God is, as mighty as God is.
• 26:27
  As unlimited as God is. He has bound himself to respect
• 26:32
  the will of man. That means when God speaks, it
• 26:43
  does not come to pass until man says Amen.
• 26:51
  Listen to me and the Amen. There is not what you say at the
• 26:55
  end of your prayer. My definition of Amen is every
• 27:00
  participation to demonstrate to God that you have connected your
• 27:05
  will to His desire. So God can say I desire to lift
• 27:09
  you, but are you interested? You can choose and say I am not
• 27:14
  interested and He will respect you even at the expense of your
• 27:19
  pain. Listen, do you know the Bible
• 27:24
  says from the foundations of the earth, the Lamb was slain, Jesus
• 27:28
  came and died. The price for sin destruction is
• 27:32
  already paid. But ladies and gentlemen, how
• 27:34
  many of you know that there are still people going to hell today
• 27:39
  in spite of the finished work of Christ That will is that
• 27:43
  powerful that men can look the King of glory in spite of his
• 27:47
  substitutionary sacrifice and they can choose.
• 27:51
  I make up my mind to reject you and he will respect it.
• 27:56
  I'm saying this to you because most believers do not know that
• 28:01
  destiny actualization is not just a function of God's will or
• 28:06
  God's power alone. There is a major component to
• 28:10
  your becoming. Your rising that most men have
• 28:14
  ignored is called the power to choose.
• 28:18
  The power to choose your life up until now is a summation of your
• 28:25
  choices. Whether there are choices that
• 28:28
  were made intelligently and intentionally or choices that
• 28:33
  were products of neglect, you will be learning shortly.
• 28:37
  If you truly desire an upgrade in your life, then you must
• 28:41
  understand the power of decisions because everything in
• 28:46
  the realm of the spirit, including demons, including
• 28:50
  courses, including yokes, they depend on this factor to work.
• 29:00
  If your salvation depends on your will, courses also depend
• 29:05
  on your will. Blessings also depend on your
• 29:08
  will. Prosperity depends on your will.
• 29:11
  Poverty depends on your will. Whether you are aware or not,
• 29:16
  it's a different thing all together.
• 29:17
  That means there is a way you can choose that even if poverty
• 29:21
  comes, it cannot walk because your will fights it.
• 29:25
  There is a way you can choose that prayerlessness, the spirits
• 29:29
  that kill the prayer life of people.
• 29:32
  When it comes, you don't have to drive it.
• 29:34
  Your will becomes a defence it it renders it important, the
• 29:40
  will of man. Are we learning now?
• 29:46
  The difference between any two people in the Kingdom is not
• 29:50
  God's desire, for the same Lord is reached unto all.
• 29:53
  The Bible says the difference between a champion and a
• 29:57
  mediocre, the difference between an anointed person and an
• 30:01
  unserious Christian, the difference between a trailblazer
• 30:05
  and a mediocre is not the power of God necessarily.
• 30:08
  It's not even the desire of God for them.
• 30:11
  It is that one person, either through mentorship or by the
• 30:15
  mercy of God, has learned, among many other factors, the power,
• 30:20
  power of decisions and has used His will to redefine the
• 30:24
  possibilities of his destiny. Whereas another person is
• 30:28
  waiting for chance, superstition, and all kinds of
• 30:32
  things. Satan dreads men who understand
• 30:37
  the power that has been given to them, the ability to choose.
• 30:42
  If you're with me, say Amen. Your decisions I wrote here,
• 30:54
  beyond your conditions, decide the quality of your life.
• 30:59
  Your decisions, more than your conditions, decide the quality
• 31:04
  of your life. It's important to understand.
• 31:07
  This. Your decisions more than your
• 31:10
  conditions. Your condition is as temporal as
• 31:14
  the strength of your decisions. Because if you have the power to
• 31:18
  choose, then you have the power to change.
• 31:20
  Did you hear what I said? If you have the power to choose,
• 31:24
  you have the power to change. Every condition remains
• 31:28
  permanent, as permanent as your indecision.
• 31:34
  If you have the power to choose, you have the power to change.
• 31:38
  Amazing how an unbeliever with one use of this will can become
• 31:44
  a believer immediately by agreeing to receive Jesus.
• 31:49
  Isn't it amazing? 1 lazy, careless and serious
• 31:52
  person can make a decision and get into a bookstore and by the
• 31:57
  power of that choice, in one month that person's destiny can
• 32:01
  change. One person can choose to pursue
• 32:05
  the anointing with humility. Another person can remain in
• 32:08
  pride, and their possibilities can be east and West.
• 32:12
  Your destiny is at the mercy of this mystery.
• 32:16
  God gave you the power to choose.
• 32:20
  You will be amazed at how many great things have knocked at the
• 32:24
  door of your destiny, but you rejected them, not knowing you
• 32:28
  rejected them. The Bible says as many as
• 32:31
  received Him, that means you can reject Him.
• 32:34
  As many as received He says ye shall receive power.
• 32:38
  That means you can reject power. The Bible says buy the truth and
• 32:44
  sell it, not your decisions more than your conditions.
• 32:52
  Decide the quality of your life. Now look at me please.
• 32:56
  Decisions do not carry the same weight in the spirit.
• 33:02
  There are certain decisions called.
• 33:04
  Destiny defining decisions, for instance.
• 33:08
  I can choose to wear what I'm wearing now.
• 33:10
  I would have chosen to wear black.
• 33:12
  It doesn't necessarily affect my destiny that much.
• 33:16
  It's not a destiny defining decision, but there are certain
• 33:20
  decisions that carry so much weight that you may not even
• 33:23
  have a chance to make another corrective decision.
• 33:26
  Again, all decisions do not weigh the same in the spirit.
• 33:32
  All decisions do not weigh the same in Destiny.
• 33:36
  Are we together now? Decisions decide destiny.
• 33:44
  Now let me tell you something else about decisions.
• 33:47
  Lend me your attention. Every decision has a consequence
• 33:56
  connected to it. You are not given the liberty to
• 34:00
  choose consequences. You cannot choose consequences.
• 34:04
  The consequences are automatically connected to the
• 34:08
  decision. Are we together?
• 34:10
  Now? What God gives you the power to
• 34:13
  do is to make the choices. But once you have made the
• 34:17
  choices, you are also prepared to receive the consequences that
• 34:22
  come with the choices. Are we together?
• 34:25
  So if I decide, for instance, do you know that as anointed as God
• 34:31
  has helped me to be, I actually can end my life?
• 34:34
  In the next. 10 minutes. That is how powerful the will
• 34:38
  is. I literally with all the angels
• 34:41
  protecting me, I can choose that I want to end my life in 10
• 34:46
  minutes. And God in heaven, the giver of
• 34:51
  life, will respect that choice. And in exactly 10.
• 34:54
  Minutes. I will be dead.
• 34:58
  That is how powerful it is. The power to choose to choose a
• 35:04
  great tomorrow or the power to choose a worse tomorrow resides
• 35:10
  within everyone of you who is looking at me right now.
• 35:13
  The difference between you and everybody you admire is the
• 35:17
  strength of their decisions over time and the consequences that
• 35:22
  have come to honor that decision.
• 35:24
  Let me take it again. The difference between you and
• 35:27
  anyone at all you have ever admired is not necessarily the
• 35:31
  grace of God, is not necessarily the love of God, for the same
• 35:36
  Lord is reached unto all that call upon Him.
• 35:38
  It is that they, by grace have understood this gift God gave
• 35:43
  man and have utilized it effectively.
• 35:48
  And what you call results are the consequences connected to
• 35:52
  the decisions they have made. To work in integrity is a
• 35:57
  choice. To be crooked is a choice.
• 36:00
  To be perverse is a choice. To work in righteousness is a
• 36:04
  choice. To be responsible is a choice.
• 36:07
  To be careless is a choice. To be prayerless is a choice.
• 36:11
  To be prayerful is a choice. To be anointed is a.
• 36:15
  Choice to be mediocan The spirit is a choice to be a.
• 36:18
  Great man of God is a choice. To be one who does not bring
• 36:22
  much glory is a choice. To fail in life is a choice.
• 36:26
  To succeed is a choice. To be a champion is a choice.
• 36:31
  To be a great prophet is a choice.
• 36:33
  To be a mighty battle axe is a choice, to be wealthy is a
• 36:37
  choice, to be poor and beggarly is a choice.
• 36:44
  Can I continue to cut short your life?
• 36:49
  It's a choice. A choice that many people do not
• 36:54
  know how to make. And to live long is a choice.
• 36:59
  To stay healthy is a choice. To be sick until you die is a
• 37:04
  choice. To give in to causes and yokes
• 37:10
  is a choice. To stand in the victory that
• 37:14
  Christ has brought for you is a choice.
• 37:17
  To be in this program this night was a choice.
• 37:22
  Where were all the demons when you were coming here?
• 37:25
  That is how powerful your will is that in spite of Satan's
• 37:29
  desire, he could not stop you nor the car.
• 37:33
  So why will your destiny? If you left home and nothing
• 37:37
  stopped you from getting here, why do you think you?
• 37:40
  Cannot get to the place of destiny.
• 37:44
  Are you learning now? It's a choice.
• 37:50
  You had a right to do something else with your time.
• 37:54
  It's called your time, and you decided to invest it in your
• 37:58
  destiny. It's a.
• 37:59
  Choice. It's a choice.
• 38:03
  The man of God had a right to stop this program from happening
• 38:07
  this year. It was not just God's will.
• 38:11
  It was also a choice. Are we together now?
• 38:15
  My travelling to come here was a choice and there are
• 38:19
  consequences. Your transformation is part of
• 38:22
  the consequences of that decision.
• 38:25
  Your healing is part of the consequences of that decision.
• 38:29
  Listen, let me tell you this. If you don't understand my
• 38:33
  message many years after now, you will look back and you will
• 38:38
  hate yourself because you will see that you cheated your
• 38:41
  destiny and allow things to just happen like that.
• 38:48
  You're my glory, the lifter up of my head.
• 38:54
  You are my glory, the lifter up of my head.
• 39:00
  I found myself singing this song from place to place.
• 39:03
  It's a revelation to me. That God gave me this kind of
• 39:07
  power over my destiny. I can rewrite my story.
• 39:11
  It doesn't matter where I came from.
• 39:14
  You didn't choose your arrival, but you can choose your
• 39:17
  destination. You're my.
• 39:23
  Glory the lifter up of mine. You are my glory, the lifter up
• 39:33
  of mine. The power to choose is a miracle
• 39:41
  that men do not understand the extent the extent of risk God
• 39:47
  took to give. Man, the power to choose a
• 39:55
  possible How come another person is greatly celebrated across the
• 39:59
  globe and then another person is left?
• 40:01
  I'm sure God just wanted to show him mercy.
• 40:04
  The Bible says come bully, everyone has access to the same
• 40:08
  place, it is a choice. Listen, isn't it amazing that
• 40:13
  two brothers from the same family, raised by the same
• 40:17
  parents under the same condition, negative or positive,
• 40:22
  but the outcomes of their destinies can be east and West?
• 40:25
  What is the difference between Jacob and Esau?
• 40:32
  God no. What was the difference between?
• 40:36
  Cain and Abel, God, Satan, choice.
• 40:51
  The difference between this version of you now and the
• 40:56
  version that the nations is waiting for is not Time is
• 41:01
  choice. There is a fashion of you in you
• 41:06
  that if you allow yourself to make serious this teaching
• 41:10
  tonight you will mourn like a snake opening your old shelf and
• 41:15
  allowing a new you to evolve. In power, in wisdom, in grace,
• 41:21
  that is the fashion the nations will glorify God for.
• 41:25
  But for as long as you sit and remain and hope that things will
• 41:29
  change, I hope I will be blessed one day.
• 41:32
  I hope my children who fear God one day, I hope I will be healed
• 41:36
  one day. No Sir, no Sir.
• 41:43
  I'm sure one day I will be anointed no?
• 41:45
  Sir, I made a statement back at home.
• 41:49
  I said revivals have no dates. The day the vessel is prepared,
• 41:54
  that is the day revival comes. The day God heals you.
• 42:01
  It's not the day He wants to heal you is the day you have
• 42:05
  heard the Word of Faith, or the day you decided to act, or the
• 42:09
  day a vessel yielded enough to carry grace that can bring you
• 42:14
  healing arrived. Many things that we blame God
• 42:19
  for. God has no hand in it.
• 42:21
  He's created a system that if you are not enlightened enough
• 42:25
  to understand and to engage you may remain mediocre forever.
• 42:31
  You called it an upgrade. This is what God is doing,
• 42:34
  showing you what you have neglected that Satan has been
• 42:37
  helping you use because you kept it down.
• 42:42
  And Satan found it such a treasure.
• 42:45
  And he's been helping you choose by manipulating your mind,
• 42:49
  helping you choose by manipulating your understanding,
• 42:53
  helping you choose by planting tears, planting all kinds of
• 42:58
  things. And you find your life nose
• 43:00
  diving, moving in a direction you do not want.
• 43:03
  And you are wondering who is making these choices for me?
• 43:14
  Man of God, the difference between the dream you have seen
• 43:19
  of you healing people and doing mighty things and the you
• 43:22
  actually entering that experience is a choice.
• 43:28
  For instance, a choice to come for a prophetic convergence like
• 43:32
  this because you know grace can be available to rewrite your
• 43:36
  possibilities. It is a choice.
• 43:40
  It is a choice to be humble, to receive is a choice to be
• 43:46
  arrogant. To act like you have the results
• 43:48
  when you don't is a choice. And all of them have
• 43:51
  consequences. Is someone learning?
• 43:59
  When I found out that my destiny does not just depend on God, but
• 44:04
  it depends on my ability to use this gift, I rejoice with God.
• 44:10
  And I made-up my mind. I said I found my.
• 44:13
  Key I can choose when I'm weak. I can use that power to choose
• 44:20
  to call for help. Call unto me.
• 44:23
  Prayer is proof of humility. I can use my will and call upon
• 44:27
  the Lord to come and help me, because the Lord is nigh them
• 44:31
  that call upon Him, not them who are in trouble.
• 44:36
  Is someone learning? Listen, let me tell you the
• 44:39
  truth, great organizations today, please sit down, have
• 44:43
  been built on account of the correct usage of this divine
• 44:48
  gift. Let me give you 2 definitions
• 44:52
  of. What it means to choose #1 To
• 45:03
  choose means to settle on an option in the midst of many
• 45:09
  options. To settle on an option, Whatever
• 45:14
  becomes the basis of that conclusion is up to you.
• 45:18
  But to choose means to finally settle a resolve to settle on an
• 45:24
  option in the midst of various options.
• 45:28
  And the first law of effective decision is to be aware of all
• 45:33
  the decisions available alongside the consequences they
• 45:37
  carry. Is someone learning now?
• 45:40
  When you make choices in ignorance is the same thing as
• 45:43
  allowing the devil choose for you because you will choose
• 45:46
  disaster. You want to make effective
• 45:49
  choices. You have to be aware.
• 45:54
  If you serve me a buffet, usually I would go around and
• 45:58
  look at everything that is available.
• 46:00
  Am I right on that? So there's rice here, maybe
• 46:03
  pasta and you tell me there's salad.
• 46:05
  There's whatever. Then I can choose using various
• 46:09
  parameters. Maybe whatever health program
• 46:12
  I'm currently working on or my appetite at the.
• 46:14
  Moment or the recommendation that anyone gives me.
• 46:18
  Are you seeing that now? There can be various parameters,
• 46:21
  but at the end of it, usually as wonderful and delicious as other
• 46:26
  meals on the tables. I may not even touch some of
• 46:28
  them. There are those who just take
• 46:31
  fruits and the basis for that decision is that they don't eat
• 46:34
  when it's late. They have made a choice.
• 46:38
  Are there consequences to their choices?
• 46:40
  Yes. There are those who eat
• 46:42
  everything on that table and add more.
• 46:45
  Is that a choice? Yes.
• 46:46
  Are there consequences to that decision?
• 46:52
  Am I right on that when an AM robber leaves his house and goes
• 46:57
  to rob another person, the same energy it takes to rob is the
• 47:01
  same energy it takes to? Think.
• 47:04
  The man would have converted that energy to think by the
• 47:08
  spirit and come up with a solution that still empowers him
• 47:12
  with dignity. Look at the creativity deployed
• 47:16
  in stealing, the timing, the courage, the mastery of the
• 47:24
  environment, learning the weaknesses of those who are
• 47:27
  going to steal from. These are already business
• 47:30
  principles there, and yet the person decides to invest those
• 47:34
  principles to steal. It's a choice.
• 47:39
  Let me tell you how powerful the power to choose is.
• 47:42
  Have you heard of the story of a young man called the prodigal
• 47:46
  son? The Bible says that gentleman
• 47:50
  was now with the swine. He never says the Holy Spirit
• 47:53
  spoke to him by himself. He says he came to himself.
• 47:59
  Men can come to themselves. The Bible does not say the.
• 48:03
  Holy Spirit convicted him. The gentleman sat down, thought
• 48:08
  intelligently, started weighing the options.
• 48:11
  Option one to have. Remained at home.
• 48:15
  The choice to submit to the authority of my father and enjoy
• 48:19
  the blessings that follow that estate.
• 48:22
  The choice to have lived a riotous life with friends who
• 48:26
  are no longer here. And he said, how many?
• 48:31
  Hired servants has my father and I am here destined for greatness
• 48:38
  and glory. I have been so furnished and
• 48:42
  depleted, I now feed with the swine.
• 48:45
  And he said no. If I chose to be here, I can
• 48:48
  choose to go back. Many things left that gentleman.
• 48:53
  His money left him, his friends left him.
• 48:56
  But the power to choose remain. Can I tell you every time you
• 49:02
  say I have nothing, you lied? There is one thing that never
• 49:06
  leaves you. There is one thing that no cost
• 49:09
  can take away. There is one thing no
• 49:11
  enchantment can take away. I know you lost your job, but
• 49:15
  not your power to choose. I know you lost Ministry, but
• 49:18
  not the power to choose. I know you lost character, but
• 49:22
  not the power to choose. For as long as the power to
• 49:26
  choose remains, every other thing that left you can return.
• 49:36
  Are you learning? So the gentleman came to
• 49:40
  himself. Let me show you how he chose, he
• 49:42
  said. I will arise and act off my
• 49:46
  wheel. Are we still here tonight?
• 49:49
  I will arise and go to my Father, and when I get to my
• 49:54
  Father, I will still use this gift again and tell him, Father,
• 49:59
  I have sinned against you and against heaven.
• 50:01
  I am not worthy to be called your Son.
• 50:04
  Take me as one of your slaves. And he got up and began to walk,
• 50:09
  Satan notwithstanding. I will go forward.
• 50:12
  My yesterday notwithstanding, I will go forward.
• 50:15
  My prayerlessness of yesterday notwithstanding, I can start
• 50:19
  afresh today rather than regretting yesterday.
• 50:25
  Are we together? Can I tell you the same time it
• 50:30
  used to regret and waste your time discussing your issues and
• 50:34
  limitations is the same time it takes to make up your mind and
• 50:38
  use this gift God gave you. Apostle, I just discovered as a
• 50:43
  man of God I do not know many things about ministry.
• 50:45
  You have done well, but you can start from where you are.
• 50:49
  He told Abraham, from where thou art, not where you want to be,
• 50:53
  from where you are. Your feet cannot go there, but
• 50:56
  your eyes can go round. He says look northwards,
• 50:59
  southwards, eastwards, westwards, as far as your eyes
• 51:03
  can see. Hallelujah.
• 51:11
  Sometimes I look at my photos and I look at my notes of
• 51:17
  yesteryears and I see some of the things I wrote there and I
• 51:22
  laugh. Sometimes I think to myself, I
• 51:26
  said, my God, the power to choose is so powerful.
• 51:30
  I remember when I wrote a few things many years ago that I'll
• 51:34
  have the honor of travelling around the world, bringing the
• 51:36
  gospel, the life, the power of God.
• 51:39
  It would be a joke that those days, but those days have become
• 51:44
  today. The difference is not just the
• 51:50
  will of God. The difference is not that Satan
• 51:56
  has stopped being determined to destroy God's purposes.
• 51:59
  It is the power of this gift. Tonight God wants to repackage
• 52:04
  that gift and give someone that. You have been crying around
• 52:09
  saying I don't have a job, nobody likes me.
• 52:13
  It's a choice. You can make people like you
• 52:16
  again. It's a choice I don't.
• 52:22
  It doesn't look. Like I hear from God, it's a
• 52:24
  choice because everything that makes for greatness is
• 52:30
  learnable. Everything.
• 52:35
  Are we learning now? My first assignment tonight is,
• 52:39
  is to provoke you to see that where you are now, you've been
• 52:44
  giving flimsy excuses, he says. We have come past this mountain
• 52:48
  long enough, for God's sake. Someone God is telling you by
• 52:52
  now you should already be. Speaking to people.
• 52:55
  Prophetically, by now you should be healing the sick, but you are
• 52:58
  still at a level giving flimsy excuses and getting angry.
• 53:08
  Blaming Satan will not do you good, even if he's had a role to
• 53:12
  play. His role was empowered by your
• 53:16
  poor decisions or indecisions and that's what empowered him to
• 53:21
  remain. There is someone learning
• 53:23
  tonight in one minute before I now begin to show you a few
• 53:28
  things that you may do with your life.
• 53:30
  Please lay your hands on your head and begin to pray in the
• 53:33
  Spirit. From this day forward, my life
• 53:37
  must change. Someone use this gift.
• 53:40
  From this day forward I take advantage of the supply of
• 53:45
  grace. But from this day forward,
• 53:48
  someone pray. From this day forward, my music
• 53:53
  ministry must take another dimension, helping me to serve
• 53:56
  God at a greater level. From this day forward, this
• 54:00
  Apostolic ministry, this prophetic ministry must scale
• 54:05
  heights in the spirit for the sake of Kingdom efficiency.
• 54:09
  From this day forward, my finances must change.
• 54:13
  From this day forward. From this day forward, someone
• 54:17
  pray use this gift that God gave you.
• 54:21
  The part of the just shines brighter, but at the mercy of
• 54:27
  your power to. Choose.
• 54:38
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 54:41
  Please be seated. It takes your decisions to fail
• 54:57
  in life, and it takes your decisions to succeed in life.
• 55:03
  Let me tell you this. The major way causes and demonic
• 55:08
  operations work is to manipulate this.
• 55:12
  Gift. Did you hear what I said?
• 55:14
  The major way causes work is not to veto you, is to manipulate
• 55:20
  your power to choose so that you make poor or I'll decisions that
• 55:26
  attract negative consequences to your life.
• 55:31
  They depend on that power. That is why causes cannot work
• 55:36
  for a dead. Man, that is why blessings
• 55:38
  cannot work for a dead man, because the factor that gives
• 55:42
  them power is gone. The power to choose is only
• 55:47
  there when life is there. That's why the Bible says
• 55:50
  there's hope. For the living, he that is
• 55:52
  joined to the living, lose everything but the one thing God
• 55:57
  gave you, if it is still there, you can get back again.
• 56:01
  People have lost billions of dollars, billions and millions
• 56:07
  of dollars, and they sat back in trouble, but they said I would
• 56:12
  get back again and they got back again.
• 56:15
  Are we together now? There are people who have had
• 56:17
  their homes washed away by flawed and while others were
• 56:22
  rejoicing, someone else was saying the same wisdom.
• 56:25
  That project is still there. I will arise again, someone
• 56:28
  said. I will arise.
• 56:30
  Prophecy Say I will arise one more time.
• 56:33
  Say I will arrive. Stop giving the Flames the
• 56:40
  excuse that you've not got a job since you were a graduate.
• 56:44
  I don't mean to insult you. I'm being harsh on you for a
• 56:46
  reason. I'm not.
• 56:48
  Grace desires a stretch. If I don't stretch, you will not
• 56:51
  rise for as long. Let me tell you this.
• 56:54
  Mediocrity always thrives on excuses.
• 57:01
  A justifiable reason. My father was a drunkard.
• 57:06
  My mother was a prostitute. Such a sad story.
• 57:11
  I sympathize with you, but what are you going to make out of
• 57:14
  your life from that point? Isn't it amazing that the
• 57:18
  excuses that most believers give justifying their lives?
• 57:23
  I was abused when I was young. Now I don't downplay your pain,
• 57:27
  but how old are you now? Are we together?
• 57:32
  How old are you now? Someone defrauded me in 2010 for
• 57:38
  God's sake. What?
• 57:39
  What is today's date? 2024 do you know from the time
• 57:43
  you started regretting? That was the day someone made-up
• 57:47
  his mind, and by now they've caught up with destiny.
• 57:50
  Someone be angry, Say I will arise.
• 57:53
  Say it again, I will arise. God has called me into the music
• 58:01
  ministry. You may say, let me see how you
• 58:04
  are using your gift to rise and scale.
• 58:08
  Not just the gift of singing, the gift of a will that when
• 58:12
  others are sleeping, you are waking up praying in the night,
• 58:16
  you are using your will, you are rewriting your own
• 58:18
  possibilities. That's how he sang his song O.
• 58:23
  Be lifted above all other gods. We lay our crowns and worship
• 58:37
  you. Believe, Ted, above all, all the
• 58:43
  gods, we lay our crime and worship you.
• 58:54
  Oh glorious God, we praise your name.
• 59:02
  We lay our crime. Listen, do you know, let me use
• 59:11
  him for an instance. When the spirit of Revelation
• 59:14
  was resting, it was not on only him.
• 59:18
  He rested on someone who snot away an opportunity to have
• 59:22
  written a song too, slept it over and said I would think
• 59:26
  about it one day. Whereas someone got up and said,
• 59:29
  this is it only one line of the song.
• 59:32
  I will start from there. It's a seed enough.
• 59:38
  Are we together? Church is quiet tonight.
• 59:45
  God's word is coming as a rod, shaking away every excuse for
• 59:51
  some of you. By now you should be doing
• 59:54
  business at a transcontinental scale with the kind of
• 59:58
  intelligence God gave you. But again, last year I had the
• 1:00:03
  honor of speaking at the World Conference here in your nation
• 1:00:06
  of the Full Gospel Businessman's Fellowship, and I remember
• 1:00:11
  speaking to them and challenging them that in as much as we have
• 1:00:16
  seen so much, there is always more in revelations.
• 1:00:21
  He said come up, hit her, and I will show you he already had
• 1:00:26
  revelations from chapter 1234. What?
• 1:00:29
  He said. Come up, hit her.
• 1:00:31
  Come up here is someone getting angry.
• 1:00:36
  You have wasted the opportunity to rewrite and redefine your
• 1:00:41
  destiny. But there's no point regretting
• 1:00:44
  because that gift is still with you.
• 1:00:48
  You lost things, but not the power to choose.
• 1:00:51
  You lost men, but not the power to choose.
• 1:00:54
  You lost opportunities, but not the power to choose.
• 1:00:58
  Let me tell you the truth, the next time you see someone saying
• 1:01:02
  I've lost everything, tell him yes, why didn't you come for
• 1:01:06
  this prophetic conference? Let me be a lecturer.
• 1:01:12
  God shielded the power to choose such that the.
• 1:01:16
  Only way to lose it is when you are dead.
• 1:01:19
  Provided you are alive. There is no enchantment, there
• 1:01:24
  is no spirit that can take away from you the power to.
• 1:01:28
  Choose Hallelujah. Hallelujah is someone learning?
• 1:01:37
  Please sit down. Please sit down.
• 1:01:41
  Let me show you a few things very quickly and then we'll
• 1:01:43
  pray. The real value of wisdom, Write
• 1:01:49
  this down. The real value of wisdom is in
• 1:01:54
  its ability to help you make superior decisions.
• 1:01:59
  The real value of wisdom is not the acquisition of information.
• 1:02:07
  The real value of wisdom is that you gather together the factors
• 1:02:12
  that help you to make superior destiny defining decisions.
• 1:02:19
  Don't tell me you are wise. Show me if you are wise when it
• 1:02:25
  has to do with wisdom. You don't say I am wise, you
• 1:02:29
  show it by the superiority of the decisions that come from the
• 1:02:33
  information you have or claim to have.
• 1:02:37
  So if you claim you are wise and I do not see superior decisions,
• 1:02:42
  that is why wisdom goes hand in hand with mighty walks.
• 1:02:48
  Are we together now? Now I want to give you seven
• 1:02:57
  decisions that you must make with your life 7 destiny
• 1:03:05
  defining decisions. I give you a guarantee by the
• 1:03:09
  authority of. Scripture.
• 1:03:11
  If you pay attention to these seven decisions, I assure you,
• 1:03:16
  whether you are here in this auditorium or outside or
• 1:03:19
  following online, for some of you it's in a matter of days you
• 1:03:24
  will see an upgrade that will surprise you. 7 decisions.
• 1:03:29
  I told you, not all decisions carry the same weight.
• 1:03:32
  Remember that by the privilege of God's grace, the honor of
• 1:03:37
  mentorship, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, I have
• 1:03:41
  distilled 7 decisions that a man must make with his life.
• 1:03:49
  It doesn't matter whether you are called into ministry,
• 1:03:51
  business, family, a student, a career person.
• 1:03:55
  If you do not make this seven decisions, well, your life is
• 1:03:59
  doomed to. Fail.
• 1:04:00
  Are you ready? Open my eyes.
• 1:04:02
  Oh God. Someone pray in one minute.
• 1:04:04
  Open my eyes. Open my eyes for the sake of my
• 1:04:09
  tomorrow, for the sake of those connected to this grace.
• 1:04:19
  Salamela, Kaparatos, Sabraske Vedic.
• 1:04:28
  In Jesus name we pray. In Jesus name, we pray.
• 1:04:33
  I'm going to run through this list for every one of these
• 1:04:37
  decisions I mentioned. I'll not have the time to teach
• 1:04:40
  elaborately on it, but when I touch on it, we're going to pray
• 1:04:43
  it into our lives. Is that a good deal?
• 1:04:46
  So I mentioned number one, you pray if you are not praying, No,
• 1:04:50
  it's an attack. Remember I told you
• 1:04:52
  prayerlessness is a choice. So once we mention.
• 1:04:55
  It you pray with all your heart. This is it.
• 1:04:59
  I'm finding my road map out of a life of mediocrity.
• 1:05:03
  For some of you, after tonight's service, you will look Satan to
• 1:05:06
  the face and say so. This is how powerless you are.
• 1:05:10
  I did not know that you are as powerful as my indecision, but
• 1:05:15
  now that I have. Chosen to use this gift God gave
• 1:05:18
  me. Number one.
• 1:05:26
  What is the first decision you must make in your life?
• 1:05:30
  You desire to rise to a new dimension.
• 1:05:33
  To rise to a new level in ministry in Korea, the first
• 1:05:37
  decision every man must make consciously is the decision to
• 1:05:44
  make exceptional spiritual progress.
• 1:05:49
  The decision to make exceptional spiritual progress.
• 1:05:56
  If you're writing on the line, the word exceptional, please.
• 1:06:00
  The decision to use your life, to use your days, to make
• 1:06:07
  exceptional spiritual progress, to know the Lord, to love the
• 1:06:16
  Lord and to serve Him with all your heart, it is a choice.
• 1:06:21
  It is a choice to be serious with God is a choice to love
• 1:06:26
  Jesus passionately whether you're in ministry or not.
• 1:06:30
  It's a choice, the decision to plunge yourself into everything.
• 1:06:35
  Pro Kingdom is a choice. And recall I told you that you
• 1:06:40
  do not choose consequences. You make decisions and to the
• 1:06:45
  degree to which they are superior, they attract superior
• 1:06:49
  consequences to your life. Like the anointing, like wisdom,
• 1:06:53
  like grace, like favour, like open doors.
• 1:06:56
  These are the benefits that. Come with knowing and loving the
• 1:07:00
  Lord. Second Chronicles 26 and verse
• 1:07:03
  5. Let's hurry up.
• 1:07:04
  Second Chronicles 26 and verse 5.
• 1:07:08
  The Bible says and he the he there been Uzziah sought God in
• 1:07:13
  the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of
• 1:07:18
  God. Let's read the final sentence
• 1:07:20
  together ready 1 to go. And as long as he sought the
• 1:07:24
  Lord, God made him to prosper. Who made him prosper.
• 1:07:30
  Make no mistakes about it, God makes men prosper, but He does
• 1:07:35
  that in honor to their decision. His own part was that he made-up
• 1:07:41
  his mind to seek the Lord, and as long as he sought the Lord,
• 1:07:46
  God made him to prosper. God is still a maker.
• 1:07:50
  The Bible calls him the maker of the heavens and the earth, but
• 1:07:53
  he still makes men. He can make ordinary men like
• 1:07:56
  Joshua Selman. And turn them to science and
• 1:07:59
  wonders. He can make an ordinary person
• 1:08:01
  like you that by this time next year when we come into Ghana,
• 1:08:05
  we'll say are you not that sister that was quietly seated
• 1:08:09
  in that meeting and you will say, well, I made a decision to
• 1:08:12
  serve the Lord. I made a decision to serve the
• 1:08:15
  God of heaven and look the he brought to my life.
• 1:08:19
  Look the power, look the favor, look the doors is open for me As
• 1:08:25
  for me and my house, me and my destiny, me and the vision God
• 1:08:33
  has given me. We will serve the law.
• 1:08:38
  It's a decision. That means I have many options,
• 1:08:43
  but I choose to serve the Lord. Someone, tonight is your night
• 1:08:47
  of decision. That right here whilst you are
• 1:08:50
  sitting, you can say I choose to serve Jesus.
• 1:08:53
  I have other options. I can get into traditional
• 1:08:56
  practice and do a lot of demonic things.
• 1:08:59
  I can get into occultism is an option.
• 1:09:01
  I can get into just believing in myself without God.
• 1:09:05
  But I choose as an act of my will.
• 1:09:08
  I use this gift to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:13
  The Bible says accept the Lord builds a house.
• 1:09:16
  They labor in vain that build it.
• 1:09:18
  Is that still in your Bible? Except the Lord watches over a
• 1:09:22
  city, beloved people, He says the Watchmen watch it, but in
• 1:09:25
  vain. It is vain to wake up early in
• 1:09:28
  the morning and to sleep late at night, only to eat the bread of
• 1:09:32
  sorrow, but he give it his beloved sleep.
• 1:09:35
  Say, I choose to serve the Lord. Shout it convincingly.
• 1:09:40
  Say I choose to serve the Lord. I choose to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:46
  Yes, Sir, yes Sir. It's a choice.
• 1:09:51
  So when someone looks at you and says, why are you always going
• 1:09:53
  to church, tell them, because I chose to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:57
  Why are you a faithful worker in church?
• 1:09:59
  It's a choice. I was not manipulated.
• 1:10:02
  I was not coerced. It's a choice.
• 1:10:04
  Why do you love to read your Bible?
• 1:10:05
  It's a choice. Why do you love ministry?
• 1:10:08
  It's a choice, a choice, a choice.
• 1:10:10
  You have the power to choose, and don't get angry at my choice
• 1:10:14
  because I have a will. You have a will.
• 1:10:16
  If you see my results, don't envy.
• 1:10:19
  I use that gift. You can also use that gift.
• 1:10:24
  Are we together? I've chosen to love him with all
• 1:10:34
  my life. I've chosen to serve him all my.
• 1:10:38
  Days. It's not a choice because I'm a
• 1:10:42
  preacher. It was the choice that made me a
• 1:10:45
  preacher. Look at me.
• 1:10:55
  Bishop, Sir, you will be amazed at how many people have not
• 1:10:59
  chosen to serve the Lord. They found themselves in church.
• 1:11:04
  They were born by Christian parents and so they can't run
• 1:11:06
  away from church. Are we together?
• 1:11:09
  And they found themselves becoming youth pastors, choir
• 1:11:12
  director, and they are stuck with this burden called God.
• 1:11:18
  My one desire is that you be praised, that you be praised,
• 1:11:31
  that you be praised. My one desire is that you be
• 1:11:40
  praised. That you be praised.
• 1:11:46
  That you be praised. Somewhere in the cost of this
• 1:11:52
  service, I'm going to give someone an opportunity who
• 1:11:57
  desires to use this gift for the first time in this way to
• 1:12:01
  verbalize, vocalize, and. Act out your desire for Jesus
• 1:12:08
  and when that time comes. You do not harden your heart
• 1:12:11
  like you did not hear this preacher.
• 1:12:14
  Remember, you do not choose consequences, you make
• 1:12:21
  decisions. Your grandfather had a choice to
• 1:12:25
  serve Jesus, but he used His will to serve Satan.
• 1:12:30
  The result of this decision is the pain you've gone through
• 1:12:35
  from childhood to adulthood. Don't let your children go
• 1:12:39
  through the same thing because of your carelessness that
• 1:12:42
  everything you came into. Let your children not come into
• 1:12:47
  you. You can be the bridge between
• 1:12:49
  yesterday and tomorrow. I came from a family of poverty,
• 1:12:54
  you say. I came from a family that served
• 1:12:56
  Satan, and I know what those causes did to me, you will say.
• 1:13:01
  But from this day forward, I make up my mind that everyone
• 1:13:05
  that comes. After me will serve the living
• 1:13:08
  God. John 17 verse 3 This is life
• 1:13:11
  eternal, that they may know thee, the one true God, and.
• 1:13:17
  Jesus, whom thou has sent #2. Is someone learning the second
• 1:13:25
  destiny defining decision that everyone under the sound of my
• 1:13:29
  voice must make tonight? Is the decision to be
• 1:13:36
  transformed the decision to contend for a superior belief
• 1:13:42
  system? Write it down.
• 1:13:44
  Please the decision to be transformed.
• 1:13:48
  The decision to be transformed. Whatever you want to say, Lord,
• 1:14:01
  you can say through me. Whoever you want to lift, Lord,
• 1:14:11
  you can lift through me whatever you want.
• 1:14:20
  To change, Lord, you can change. That is the power of a
• 1:14:28
  transformed mind. That's what a transformed mind
• 1:14:31
  does. A transformed mind comes into
• 1:14:34
  partnership with the will of God.
• 1:14:36
  A transformed mind is how you tell God Amen, that everything
• 1:14:41
  you have desired for me, let it flow through the lens of my
• 1:14:44
  transformation to my destiny. Listen, every result in the
• 1:14:50
  spirit is mindset, belief system dependent, prosperity belief
• 1:14:57
  system dependent, poverty, belief system dependent,
• 1:15:02
  leadership, belief system dependent, mediocrity, belief
• 1:15:08
  system dependent. Influence belief system
• 1:15:12
  dependent. That's what the Bible says it
• 1:15:16
  says. Romans chapter 12 from verse
• 1:15:20
  one, I beseech thee brethren, by the message of God, it says that
• 1:15:24
  you offer your bodies a living sacrifice unto God, holy and
• 1:15:28
  acceptable. It calls it your reasonable act
• 1:15:31
  of service or worship. Then verse 2 says do not be
• 1:15:34
  conformed to this. World.
• 1:15:36
  It's a Greek word, aeon, the thinking pattern that comes with
• 1:15:40
  this age. It says what be ye transformed,
• 1:15:44
  Transform. The same process that transits
• 1:15:47
  an insect from egg, lava, pupa, adult.
• 1:15:52
  How many of you know that all of those 4 stages, the insect does
• 1:15:55
  not look the same? No, the lava does not look the
• 1:15:58
  same as pupa. There are things that the adult
• 1:16:01
  insect has that at a lava stage or a pupa stage does not have.
• 1:16:07
  For instance the ability to fly. Are we together?
• 1:16:12
  So the Bible says be transformed in your transformation.
• 1:16:17
  You will prove through your life that good, acceptable and
• 1:16:23
  perfect will of God in your transformation.
• 1:16:26
  Philippians 2 verse 5 says let this mind be in you.
• 1:16:30
  The word let means permit, allow, do not restrict, do not
• 1:16:34
  restraint. Let this mind be in you which
• 1:16:38
  was also in Christ Jesus. Jesus did not just win because
• 1:16:43
  He was the Son of God. There was a mindset that kept
• 1:16:46
  victory in His life. Let me tell you the truth, even
• 1:16:50
  if Satan is not in existence, a poor mediocre mindset already
• 1:16:56
  tends to defeat. Hallelujah mindsets.
• 1:17:03
  The decision to be transformed. Let me have two people here. 2
• 1:17:09
  gentlemen, 2 gentlemen, you come and another one.
• 1:17:12
  Please come very quickly. Come one stand by my left, the
• 1:17:17
  other stand by my right. Thank you.
• 1:17:18
  Watch this, everybody. So these are two people, both
• 1:17:23
  born again. They are saved.
• 1:17:25
  Are we together now? When I come to you, let's say
• 1:17:29
  this gentleman, look at this. He's saved, but he's not
• 1:17:35
  transformed. He's not known the value of
• 1:17:38
  things like honor. He's not known the value of
• 1:17:40
  things like responsibility and diligence.
• 1:17:43
  This man can see me and just. Brush his shoulder and I have
• 1:17:46
  within my power to help him. This guy can recycle pain right
• 1:17:51
  now because of a law he violated.
• 1:17:54
  And it is the absence of transformation, not redemption.
• 1:17:57
  Redemption is there, but transformation was not there and
• 1:18:01
  he will still suffer as if he's not saved.
• 1:18:04
  Are we together? Whereas this gentleman, because
• 1:18:07
  he came to church and in addition to he's being saved,
• 1:18:10
  he's learned the law of honor that when doors close, they
• 1:18:14
  close because of dishonor to God, to men and to principles.
• 1:18:18
  This gentleman can see me and say, good afternoon, Sir.
• 1:18:21
  No stand ups. You don't have to kneel.
• 1:18:23
  Are we together? Good afternoon, Sir.
• 1:18:25
  And I can look at him and say, young man, I, I this, I mean,
• 1:18:28
  you must have been mentored by a good pastor.
• 1:18:31
  So what do you do? Oh, I'm a graduate trusting God
• 1:18:34
  for a job. Can you do the work of a
• 1:18:36
  secretary? You call it breakthrough.
• 1:18:38
  In one minute, a door opens. Now watch this.
• 1:18:42
  The difference is not redemption.
• 1:18:45
  They are both saved. But this man, either through
• 1:18:49
  structured mentorship or the responsibility of getting
• 1:18:52
  materials to transform his mind, he's got a superior belief.
• 1:18:57
  He's understood life. Are we together now?
• 1:19:08
  Now look up, I can give this gentleman $1000.
• 1:19:14
  I don't know how much that adds up to your Ghana CD, but $1000,
• 1:19:21
  15,000 Ghana CDs, am I right? Well, 15 or 16 is around the
• 1:19:26
  same corridor. So now you look at me.
• 1:19:28
  So I'm giving this guy $1000. I'm giving this guy $1000.
• 1:19:33
  But because of transformation, he's learned to delay
• 1:19:36
  gratification. Are we together now?
• 1:19:39
  And rather than living a fake life, he can take that $1000 out
• 1:19:44
  of it, go to the bookstore and buy materials from people he may
• 1:19:47
  never meet physically, but he can distill their ideas and use
• 1:19:52
  them like ladders to watch a superior life.
• 1:19:55
  He can take $100 or $200 from that and go and sow to a man of
• 1:20:00
  God. And receive a prophetic
• 1:20:02
  blessing. He can take $100, take it to his
• 1:20:05
  mother and say Mama, I may not have much, but I know the value
• 1:20:09
  of honor. Please take this and bless me.
• 1:20:12
  Look at what he's doing with his $1000.
• 1:20:14
  This gentleman even though a trust goer.
• 1:20:18
  Can. Waste the money like a prodigal
• 1:20:20
  son because he's not been educated enough to know that it
• 1:20:26
  is up to you what you do with it at the end of it, through that
• 1:20:30
  $1000, this guy has a prophetic word, a blessing, wisdom.
• 1:20:35
  He saved enough, whereas this guy has destroyed every other
• 1:20:43
  thing. Both of them will come to God
• 1:20:46
  and they will ask him, why did you succeed?
• 1:20:48
  He will say God. Why did you fail?
• 1:20:51
  He will say God. Both of them blame their results
• 1:20:55
  on God, and God says no. I gave both of you the same
• 1:20:59
  gift, the power to choose. You gather information that
• 1:21:03
  helped you to choose wise. That is the power of revelation
• 1:21:07
  and wisdom. This man ignored wisdom and even
• 1:21:10
  in the midst of opportunity he still destroyed it.
• 1:21:13
  Maybe I just described somebody in this place right now.
• 1:21:16
  You may be this man on your way towards a great destiny or this
• 1:21:21
  man. Any of these two depends on your
• 1:21:24
  determination to be transformed. Do not tell me I am born again.
• 1:21:37
  The riches that are in this life you have received flows to a
• 1:21:42
  transformed mind. If your mind is not transformed,
• 1:21:46
  the potential of your being saved cannot be made manifest.
• 1:21:53
  Who is? Learning tonight, are we
• 1:21:56
  together? Transformation.
• 1:22:02
  It is part of transformation to know that getting materials to
• 1:22:06
  build your mind is better than getting clothes to live a fake
• 1:22:10
  life. For now, dress your mind and
• 1:22:14
  your mind would dress your body, but dress your body and leave
• 1:22:26
  your mind. Your mind will have to strip the
• 1:22:28
  clothes on your body to cover its shame.
• 1:22:32
  The choice is yours. So you see someone who is at
• 1:22:37
  this point buying a Bible, buying materials, traveling from
• 1:22:42
  place to place, praying every day.
• 1:22:45
  This gentleman may be in one small room, fasting and praying
• 1:22:49
  every time you meet him, studying, and you are like
• 1:22:52
  Mister man, don't you enjoy your life?
• 1:22:53
  He knows that every time does not provide every opportunity.
• 1:22:58
  I must walk the works of him that sent me while it is day for
• 1:23:03
  the night. Comet on every man.
• 1:23:08
  Is someone learning now? This is what you get when you
• 1:23:11
  come to church transformation. You will walk out of this place
• 1:23:14
  right now. And your friends who were your
• 1:23:17
  friends yesterday, you are not even aware that they are no
• 1:23:19
  longer your friends. Now, as you are seated now,
• 1:23:21
  because something transformation has produced dissociation, the
• 1:23:26
  next time they call you, you will not have a common ground
• 1:23:29
  for discussion. That's when you will know you
• 1:23:31
  have grown the things you were discussing yesterday your your
• 1:23:37
  priorities and your interests have been altered.
• 1:23:39
  Now while you hear them speaking on mediocre things, gossiping
• 1:23:43
  about others, you tell them, you know what I really don't have
• 1:23:45
  that passion again. And I don't mean to be rude.
• 1:23:48
  I, I have seen that if I waste this gift God gave me and I'm
• 1:23:53
  not ready to allow you make me waste that gift.
• 1:23:57
  I want my child tomorrow to be able to say mommy, thank you.
• 1:24:00
  Thank you for listening to this man of God.
• 1:24:08
  You can be this man right here, saved but not transformed.
• 1:24:13
  No passion for the word, no passion for truth, no passion
• 1:24:17
  for destiny altering decisions or destiny altering information.
• 1:24:22
  What do you know about leadership?
• 1:24:25
  What do you know about organization?
• 1:24:26
  What do you know about responsibility?
• 1:24:29
  What do you know about success? What do you know about victory?
• 1:24:32
  What do you know about an excelling life?
• 1:24:34
  What do you know about failure? All of these have already been
• 1:24:38
  trapped and distilled in a man's pain.
• 1:24:40
  The pain you want to go to someone has gone to it for you.
• 1:24:44
  And he took from his pain and put together a material that in
• 1:24:49
  30 minutes. Can deliver you for the next 30
• 1:24:51
  years is someone learning. I made-up my mind that I will
• 1:25:00
  not only be a preacher, I will be a transformed preacher.
• 1:25:07
  Transform, transform my brother, my sister, listen to me.
• 1:25:16
  For some of you, you are the first person right now in your
• 1:25:19
  family. That God is counting on to rise.
• 1:25:22
  Don't disappoint destiny. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:25:25
  Don't disappoint destiny. Don't sit back and disappoint
• 1:25:28
  destiny once you are seated. Now imagine your children born
• 1:25:33
  on born. Imagine them saying, mommy,
• 1:25:35
  listen to this man. Listen to this man.
• 1:25:39
  Listen to this preacher. But you can still use that wheel
• 1:25:47
  and say, you know what is talking nonsense.
• 1:25:50
  I have made my own choice. My own is to encourage you to
• 1:25:53
  make that choice. Thank you, gentlemen.
• 1:25:58
  The Lord honor you. The decision to be.
• 1:26:01
  Transformed. Listen to me this night when you
• 1:26:05
  go back. Home, Write the various areas of
• 1:26:10
  your life where you know you are in ignorance and start pursuing
• 1:26:15
  knowledge. Go online, this is the healthy
• 1:26:18
  use of Internet. Run away from all these groups
• 1:26:22
  talking nonsense and wasting your time.
• 1:26:24
  They are helping you choose in a demonic way that would destroy
• 1:26:27
  your life. I love the Lord as a man of God,
• 1:26:31
  but my last compromise was because of finances.
• 1:26:34
  I think I need to add financial knowledge so that I don't I I
• 1:26:38
  don't start practicing things as a man of God.
• 1:26:41
  I I know my conscience tells me manipulating members is demonic,
• 1:26:45
  but I need the money. So what do you do?
• 1:26:47
  You go and get a material God's financial system Enter and the
• 1:26:53
  Holy Spirit who has seen your desire will navigate you to a
• 1:26:56
  message that has distilled all nonsense from sense and in. 5
• 1:27:02
  minutes. You started journey with dignity
• 1:27:06
  and from that decision you say I will be a preacher with
• 1:27:09
  integrity. I will never manipulate anybody
• 1:27:14
  for gain. Maybe you are a father beating
• 1:27:19
  your wife every day. Even though you are praying in
• 1:27:21
  tongues, it means there's something you do not understand.
• 1:27:24
  Take responsibility. How to be a godly visionary
• 1:27:30
  father? Spirit of God, I'm ignorant.
• 1:27:32
  I confess my ignorance, but I don't want this to be this way.
• 1:27:35
  Help me and you will find one material.
• 1:27:38
  Oh, love your wife. This is this, this is that, and
• 1:27:41
  you can go back with humility. Honey, I'm sorry you married an
• 1:27:45
  ignorant man, but he's no longer an ignorant.
• 1:27:48
  Man. I'm on a journey to
• 1:27:49
  transformation. Give me time, give me one month,
• 1:27:53
  encourage me while I'm doing that.
• 1:27:55
  And after one month you have a man.
• 1:27:58
  Every garden you see that is well manicured was done by
• 1:28:02
  someone. No garden fixes itself.
• 1:28:07
  Is someone learning? You're a man of God, but
• 1:28:11
  nobody's inviting you. Even though you are anointed.
• 1:28:14
  You are anointed, but you do not understand the protocol of honor
• 1:28:17
  and ethics. You come to preach and perhaps
• 1:28:19
  lambast everybody, insult every father of faith there and preach
• 1:28:24
  with your anointing. And while you are preaching,
• 1:28:25
  they are mocking you with a red barrel.
• 1:28:27
  Never invite this gentleman again.
• 1:28:29
  Never invite this gentleman again.
• 1:28:31
  And you call it an attack. It's lack of transformation.
• 1:28:34
  It doesn't mean you are bad. It just means you are not
• 1:28:37
  transformed. Who is God speaking to?
• 1:28:42
  So enter a covenant. Am I wasting your time?
• 1:28:47
  This is how to upgrade an old version of you is giving way for
• 1:28:53
  a new version of you now, Apostle.
• 1:28:56
  But everybody who can bless me does not like me.
• 1:28:59
  Let me tell you why. Because all you do is call them,
• 1:29:02
  disturbing them to ask them for money.
• 1:29:04
  Nobody has that time to carry an extra luggage.
• 1:29:07
  Why don't you try this? Send them a text.
• 1:29:10
  Sir, just thinking about the last help you showed me.
• 1:29:14
  In October last year, I just wanted to send a text to tell
• 1:29:17
  you I'm still grateful. God bless you.
• 1:29:19
  That's it. The man who reads that text.
• 1:29:25
  Says my wife, look at this. Now the Holy Spirit can walk
• 1:29:28
  upon their mind in honor to your transformation.
• 1:29:31
  And say this lady in this day of pervasion, so there is a lady
• 1:29:36
  that can have this kind of discipline, let's call and help
• 1:29:39
  her again. And the call comes.
• 1:29:41
  Whereas you would have been pleading for 1000 Ghana C DS,
• 1:29:45
  they will now give you 15,000 Ghana C DS by transformation.
• 1:29:51
  Because every time you are grateful, you make the person
• 1:29:54
  who gave you one to give again. Every time you are grateful,
• 1:29:58
  whether to God or to man, let me tell you, rather than begging,
• 1:30:02
  be grateful. It achieves the same result, but
• 1:30:07
  one carries honor and the other one carries.
• 1:30:10
  This honor. When you are grateful is a way
• 1:30:13
  to ask for more without asking for more.
• 1:30:24
  Are we learning? Transformation learn to tell
• 1:30:28
  people thank you. I hope I'm not wasting your
• 1:30:30
  time. If we wherever, if we stop this
• 1:30:33
  after I didn't come to waste your time, I came to show you
• 1:30:36
  what you can see the result now. Right now you can know that you
• 1:30:40
  are changing. There are many of you.
• 1:30:43
  The simple reason why doors have closed is because you don't know
• 1:30:47
  how to say thank you. You will beg with 1000 text
• 1:30:52
  messages and say thank you with one word thanks and the person
• 1:31:00
  looks at your text and says I will never help this person
• 1:31:03
  again. It's not an attack it is
• 1:31:06
  calamity you bring upon yourself by not using your power to
• 1:31:10
  decide. Tonight, everyone here you can
• 1:31:14
  make up your mind that as soon as we share the grace.
• 1:31:17
  I will find the five people who God has used to invest in my
• 1:31:21
  life in a way and send thank you to all of them and they will
• 1:31:26
  call you and say what for you Say I came to church and I was
• 1:31:29
  mentored methodically that one of the ways I use my will is to
• 1:31:34
  contend for transformation. You'll be surprised you will
• 1:31:37
  invite someone tomorrow without saying come transformation.
• 1:31:46
  How about apologizing when you are wrong?
• 1:31:48
  Culture tells us when you are wrong.
• 1:31:50
  Fight and act as if you are not wrong.
• 1:31:52
  Look at the trouble it has brought.
• 1:31:54
  Battles that are your concern and battles that are not your
• 1:31:57
  concern. You are still fighting them.
• 1:31:59
  Battles with no reward. I am sorry has sent nations to
• 1:32:03
  war. Lack of saying it I'm sorry
• 1:32:06
  because we interpret I'm sorry as I am weak.
• 1:32:10
  I am sorry means I am so superior.
• 1:32:13
  I will not let my ego stop my advancement.
• 1:32:18
  There are marriages today that would should not have broken
• 1:32:21
  simply because somebody was too proud.
• 1:32:23
  To say I'm sorry. I'm sorry means I am better
• 1:32:26
  today than I was yesterday. We are human and we all make
• 1:32:30
  mistakes. Maybe I should teach you.
• 1:32:32
  Everybody say I'm sorry. One more time.
• 1:32:36
  You see how he's stinging your ego while you are saying it?
• 1:32:39
  Say it till it dies. Say I'm sorry, sorry.
• 1:32:50
  This is what it means to be transformed.
• 1:32:52
  Don't just look for anointing power, power, power.
• 1:32:55
  There is a place for that, but the value of power is that it is
• 1:32:59
  invested upon a transformed mind.
• 1:33:03
  When power is invested upon a mind that is not transformed,
• 1:33:07
  it's like pouring water in a container with holes.
• 1:33:10
  It will not retain. This is only 2 / 7.
• 1:33:19
  Imagine what happens when you make 7 / 7.
• 1:33:22
  How could your destiny remain the same?
• 1:33:24
  Are you now seeing that you've been blaming God for many
• 1:33:28
  things? You are learning now by yourself
• 1:33:30
  that truly it is not God's fault.
• 1:33:33
  So I do not know this much. This is why you should honor
• 1:33:37
  your Bishop and his wife for making this meeting happen
• 1:33:41
  because it has become the basis for your transformation.
• 1:33:46
  It's true. Please be seated, have a few
• 1:33:52
  minutes, but let's see what we're able to do.
• 1:33:54
  Who is learning tonight? Transformation.
• 1:33:57
  Make up your mind. I will never shout foolishly at
• 1:34:00
  people again and say that's how we are in our family Change.
• 1:34:05
  Change no bodies like that is a lie.
• 1:34:08
  There is nobody with tempers by default.
• 1:34:11
  You allow demon spirits to capitalize on your wheel.
• 1:34:14
  You can change. A soft answer turns away wrath.
• 1:34:20
  Oppose. You don't know me.
• 1:34:21
  As quiet as I am when that thing comes on me.
• 1:34:23
  Stop it from coming on you. Stop it from coming on you.
• 1:34:27
  Stop it from coming on you. Is someone learning what I'm
• 1:34:30
  saying? Stop it from coming on, you tell
• 1:34:34
  yourself. I will be decent, modest with
• 1:34:37
  words. I will not be careless with my
• 1:34:38
  life again. No, the value of my spirituality
• 1:34:42
  would translate to my excellence.
• 1:34:44
  It will be. Clear that I know God and I love
• 1:34:47
  God. This is a way of a superior man
• 1:34:57
  transformation. Have I challenged someone
• 1:35:00
  enough? So go back tonight, no gossiping
• 1:35:05
  again. Block those pages.
• 1:35:08
  Get to walk, get to walk. If your friend calls you and
• 1:35:12
  says I have something to tell her, Oh well, I'm sorry, I'm on
• 1:35:15
  a project right now. Don't be offended.
• 1:35:17
  I'm on a project. The name of the project is
• 1:35:19
  Advancement. The name of the project is going
• 1:35:22
  forward. The name of the project is
• 1:35:24
  Upgrade. Let's hurry up #3 let me see if
• 1:35:34
  I'm able to touch one or two more.
• 1:35:39
  Thank you #3 The third decision you must make.
• 1:35:46
  You want to upgrade your life. You want to use this gift God
• 1:35:50
  gave you is the decision to discover and fulfill your
• 1:35:56
  God-given assignment. The decision to discover and
• 1:36:02
  fulfill your God ordained assignment.
• 1:36:07
  I'll not talk much here. It's clear enough.
• 1:36:12
  Your God ordained assignment Hebrews 10 and verse 7.
• 1:36:16
  Lo, I come in the volume of the book as it is written of me to
• 1:36:21
  do Thy will, O God. It is written concerning every
• 1:36:25
  man. There is a role you have to play
• 1:36:27
  in destiny. Do not rob your generation of an
• 1:36:30
  opportunity to experience God through your life, through the
• 1:36:34
  efficiency of your witness. Stop escorting others around the
• 1:36:38
  corridors of destiny. There is a place for you.
• 1:36:41
  Find it by the Spirit. My life changed many years ago.
• 1:36:46
  The daily revetment. He's going to be with the Lord
• 1:36:48
  now, his book Discovering your purpose, Doctor Miles Monroe.
• 1:36:54
  I read that book and it revolutionized my life
• 1:36:56
  completely. Thank God that even though he's
• 1:37:00
  gone, his thoughts are still there.
• 1:37:04
  Go and buy the truth, use humility as a currency by the
• 1:37:08
  truth, and learn all you can about your destiny.
• 1:37:11
  Many people depend on your destiny, and many people are
• 1:37:15
  waiting for you to manifest in your rising is the rising do not
• 1:37:20
  fail #4 the fourth decision, and I want everybody to listen
• 1:37:26
  carefully. A very major decision is the
• 1:37:32
  decision to be healthy and physically sound.
• 1:37:36
  You will think this is just a passive decision that should not
• 1:37:41
  be mentioned in church. If you are not healthy, you
• 1:37:45
  would die. Let me tell you that I'm not
• 1:37:48
  Professor Hindu. I'm telling you the laws and the
• 1:37:51
  consequences that follow. Are we together now?
• 1:37:54
  Please look up. Everyone is given the gift of
• 1:37:57
  one body per lifetime. One body per lifetime.
• 1:38:02
  You don't have access to two. It's not recorded in scripture.
• 1:38:06
  One body per lifetime to hold, to host your spirit, and keeping
• 1:38:11
  that body healthy, to host your spirit for as long as it would
• 1:38:16
  take to live Your assignment is your responsibility.
• 1:38:19
  Are we together? God will support you with His
• 1:38:23
  Word, with His Spirit, with His power, with His grace, but
• 1:38:28
  remaining healthy enough so that your spirit can live
• 1:38:32
  comfortably. When your body deteriorates
• 1:38:35
  beyond a certain threshold, your spirit will have to live.
• 1:38:39
  Even if it's not your time, make up your mind that I will be
• 1:38:43
  healthy. If you're a man of God here, let
• 1:38:45
  me encourage you in love. There are many men of God today,
• 1:38:50
  with all due respect, who are sick because of carelessness
• 1:38:53
  with their bodies. Not their spirits, their bodies.
• 1:38:58
  Are we together? One of our doctors was telling
• 1:39:04
  me that many people today with kidney problems, the major cause
• 1:39:09
  of the kidney problem is that they don't drink water.
• 1:39:12
  They don't drink water. Are we together?
• 1:39:15
  And you know, in Africa, sometimes we, because of the
• 1:39:18
  backgrounds we came from, when you get to a restaurant, you
• 1:39:22
  take Coca-Cola and Fanta and chicken.
• 1:39:25
  No water. You say give me 3 bottles.
• 1:39:27
  I've suffered. I've suffered in this life.
• 1:39:31
  So you are on a revenge mission and as you.
• 1:39:36
  Go up all those things. Remember the sons of the Prophet
• 1:39:40
  said there is death in the pot. Even the pot can carry death.
• 1:39:45
  You have to be aware of what you.
• 1:39:46
  Eat. Are we together?
• 1:39:49
  You've heard my story for some of you.
• 1:39:52
  During my retreats, I take out time and I do an inventory of my
• 1:39:55
  life. And one time I found out for
• 1:39:58
  three years in a row, I wasn't necessarily sick, but my health
• 1:40:02
  was the worst performing area in my life.
• 1:40:06
  I was just not. And you know, because of the
• 1:40:08
  anointing, when you see so much of healing and signs and
• 1:40:11
  wonders. You feel guilty.
• 1:40:13
  Taking care of your body. After all, the power of the Holy
• 1:40:15
  Ghost is there. Do you know Elijah died?
• 1:40:18
  Do you know? What killed Elijah The Anointing
• 1:40:21
  remained while life left. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:40:25
  The anointing. Remained on Elijah while life
• 1:40:28
  left. Don't cover that testimony.
• 1:40:32
  That their life left, but the anointing still remain on the
• 1:40:36
  dead body, on the sick body till he died.
• 1:40:42
  You can be very anointed and still die.
• 1:40:46
  Take care of your body. I encourage my people, like
• 1:40:50
  charge them. In fact, at the end of the year
• 1:40:53
  I insist upon them to go for a medical checkup.
• 1:40:56
  You are a man of faith, So what are you afraid of?
• 1:41:00
  Go for a medical checkup. Find out what in the world is
• 1:41:03
  going on in that body so that if there is a call for emergency,
• 1:41:07
  you know how to appropriate God's power fast.
• 1:41:10
  But living in denial until you deteriorate to a point where it
• 1:41:15
  depletes your finances, your health, other people who have to
• 1:41:18
  pack up their jobs to maintain you, and.
• 1:41:20
  Eventually you still die. Is someone learning?
• 1:41:27
  You will thank me for what you are learning.
• 1:41:29
  You are calling it an upgrade. For some of you, nothing is
• 1:41:32
  wrong with your transformation, but the level of carelessness
• 1:41:35
  with your body, God is calling you to order right now.
• 1:41:39
  You see young people 20 years 3035 high blood pressure having
• 1:41:44
  all kinds of things. What does a young man have to do
• 1:41:47
  with high blood pressure because of the careless use of this
• 1:41:51
  body? This body is a gift.
• 1:41:53
  Use it well, use it well, use it well.
• 1:41:59
  Hallelujah. So for someone you will be
• 1:42:03
  healed though in the name of Jesus you have any pain, you are
• 1:42:06
  going to be healed in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:42:10
  But you have a responsibility when God starts increasing you
• 1:42:14
  financially. Before you buy clothes, invest
• 1:42:18
  in your health. Don't put clothes on a dying
• 1:42:22
  body and don't say it is lack of faith to go for a medical check
• 1:42:31
  up. Doctor, check me from head to
• 1:42:34
  toe. Please let me know what is
• 1:42:36
  wrong. If the healing powers are
• 1:42:38
  working, you medicine will show that you are all right.
• 1:42:41
  This headache that happens all the time, what is the cause?
• 1:42:46
  Oh, this and that and that. Adjust this, adjust that, adjust
• 1:42:49
  it. That's all, and you are free.
• 1:42:51
  Otherwise, you will keep driving it carelessly until one day you
• 1:42:55
  find out that you fell somewhere.
• 1:42:57
  In the marketplace. And they took you to the
• 1:42:59
  hospital. Which one is more embarrassing?
• 1:43:01
  To carry yourself to the hospital and be treated or to be
• 1:43:05
  carried to the hospital because what you are afraid of will
• 1:43:11
  still happen if you don't take your health seriously?
• 1:43:15
  Extend this. Talk to your parents and your
• 1:43:18
  loved ones. Let me tell you what a medical
• 1:43:20
  professor taught me, Sir. He said after every 10 years
• 1:43:23
  cycle in your life, the dynamics of living changes.
• 1:43:27
  That means from 20 to 30, the dynamics of living changes 30 to
• 1:43:32
  40. It changes 40 to 50.
• 1:43:35
  That means the strategy you deploy should be part 10 years
• 1:43:38
  cycle. By the time you clock 40, you
• 1:43:41
  can't live like 20 again. Wisdom is profitable.
• 1:43:48
  To direct you don't like what you're hearing your health, go
• 1:44:02
  back this night and make up your mind.
• 1:44:05
  Some of you need to go and get supplements responsible organic
• 1:44:09
  supplements. While you are praying in tongues
• 1:44:11
  you tell yourself I wouldn't die.
• 1:44:13
  My grandfather died. It was witchcraft to
• 1:44:15
  carelessness, but I will block that door.
• 1:44:19
  The power of God will. Deal with the witchcraft while
• 1:44:21
  my will. Deals with the carelessness
• 1:44:24
  part. That's the partnership that
• 1:44:26
  keeps you long. That's why I told you longevity
• 1:44:28
  is a choice. When you say you choose life,
• 1:44:30
  you don't just say I choose life.
• 1:44:32
  You make pro-life decisions. This is what the church is
• 1:44:37
  about. You should be mentored in church
• 1:44:39
  that you go back home as a father and gather your family
• 1:44:42
  tomorrow. And say listen.
• 1:44:44
  As the priest of this home, I've come with a new resolution.
• 1:44:47
  We are going to be healthy in this family.
• 1:44:51
  Can the men say Amen and then the women answer to and go back
• 1:44:56
  to the kitchen and did so many things in that kitchen and say
• 1:44:59
  in the name of Jesus we will live long.
• 1:45:03
  Don't kill yourself because of what enters your mouth #5.
• 1:45:09
  We have to wrap up Takoradi. You invited me to come and teach
• 1:45:15
  on upgrade. This is what it means to be
• 1:45:22
  upgraded decisions. Your health, your health, your
• 1:45:31
  health. Number six Number what?
• 1:45:39
  Number 5, The decision to be financially empowered.
• 1:45:46
  Just write it. Many people shout like this and
• 1:45:49
  it still doesn't work. Just write it.
• 1:45:53
  The decision to be financially empowered.
• 1:45:57
  Let me tell you the truth, look at me beloved people, I love you
• 1:45:59
  with all my heart and I came to bless you.
• 1:46:02
  No matter what good happens in your life, if finance is not
• 1:46:06
  part of them, you will suffer whether you believe it or not.
• 1:46:10
  You just rest once and for all and don't even try to argue
• 1:46:14
  about it. If your finance is not working,
• 1:46:18
  eventually even your spiritual life will be affected.
• 1:46:23
  Do you know what took Israel to Egypt?
• 1:46:26
  Hunger, not witchcraft, Hunger. Hunger always takes Israel to
• 1:46:32
  Egypt. Genesis 42 from verse one and
• 1:46:35
  two. The Bible says Jacob even as a
• 1:46:38
  prophet he heard he saw that there was corn where in Egypt
• 1:46:44
  corn was not the problem. The location I hear that there
• 1:46:48
  is money, but that man is a very pamphus man.
• 1:46:53
  So there's money but the problem is the person and the location
• 1:46:58
  and he looked upon his sons. Why do you look upon one another
• 1:47:03
  verse 2 give us verse 2 media Genesis 42 and verse 2 and he
• 1:47:11
  said, behold, I have heard that there is con where in Egypt he
• 1:47:17
  said, get you down cheetah and buy for us from there that we
• 1:47:21
  may. Leave.
• 1:47:23
  And not die without corn. You would die even if you are a
• 1:47:26
  prophet. Let me tell you, one of the
• 1:47:32
  enhancers of integrity is prosperity.
• 1:47:37
  One of the enhancers. There are many temptations that
• 1:47:42
  die naturally when God has shown you mercy financially.
• 1:47:47
  The strength of temptation is it's seductive nature.
• 1:47:51
  That means it appeals to a need that is within you.
• 1:47:55
  But once that need has been overcome through the abundant
• 1:47:58
  help of God, it does not work again.
• 1:48:01
  Are we together now? If you bring me baby food now
• 1:48:05
  and is that possible? Be tempted.
• 1:48:07
  You can't tempt me with it. Bit like what babies eat baby
• 1:48:11
  food or you put breast milk in a feeling bottle.
• 1:48:16
  I would think you brought it for me to pray on it.
• 1:48:18
  I will end up praying on it. It can be a temptation.
• 1:48:22
  Are we together? Now, so temptations happen
• 1:48:26
  because they connect to a need. That's the character of the
• 1:48:30
  spirit of seduction. It looks for something you
• 1:48:33
  desire. And then connects to it for your
• 1:48:36
  destruction. Make up your mind as a decision
• 1:48:40
  tonight that I will not be poor, Not by jumping carnally.
• 1:48:44
  I know I like money. I'm obsessed about money.
• 1:48:46
  No, a responsible approach from a Kingdom standpoint, knowing
• 1:48:51
  that lack of finances can push you to Sodom.
• 1:48:57
  I made-up my mind that I will never manipulate anybody.
• 1:49:03
  To come and preach. #2 I made-up my mind that I would never
• 1:49:07
  inconvenience any ministry telling them give me 10 naira or
• 1:49:11
  give me this. It's an honor and a privilege to
• 1:49:16
  serve Jesus with all my. Heart and before I came here,
• 1:49:19
  I've been blessing people and after I've gone you will still
• 1:49:22
  raise people. Integrity is enhanced.
• 1:49:25
  Listen to me by prosperity. If you make up your mind that
• 1:49:30
  you will not prosper, you are doing a disservice to yourself,
• 1:49:34
  your children and your children. Children.
• 1:49:37
  There are many ladies today who should not have been
• 1:49:39
  prostitutes, but because of this finance thing, there are many
• 1:49:42
  young people. I don't know if it happens in
• 1:49:44
  Ghana. We have this thing in Nigeria
• 1:49:47
  where you know some of these are young boys, fraud and all of
• 1:49:51
  that. Does it happen here?
• 1:49:54
  In this place too. I hope you're not one of them.
• 1:50:08
  If you're one of them, you can choose.
• 1:50:09
  I told you about choice. You can choose.
• 1:50:13
  Let me have your attention. Let me have your attention.
• 1:50:14
  Our time is up. The decision to be financially
• 1:50:18
  free. Can I be honest with you?
• 1:50:19
  Ladies and gentlemen, the efficiency of your destiny,
• 1:50:23
  including ministry, is at the mercy of abundant financial
• 1:50:27
  resources. Don't be poor.
• 1:50:31
  Don't be poor. Make up your mind.
• 1:50:33
  I will not be poor. Now there are those who say this
• 1:50:38
  and it's simply the flesh. It's just carnality.
• 1:50:42
  That's not what I'm teaching you.
• 1:50:44
  Make up your mind. If you truly love Jesus, don't
• 1:50:47
  be poor. If you truly love your children,
• 1:50:50
  don't be poor and don't allow mediocres.
• 1:50:52
  Bring words and say don't worry, it doesn't matter.
• 1:50:54
  It does matter. There are many people who have
• 1:50:57
  gotten into depression because of rent.
• 1:51:01
  You are a better Christian if you live in your own house.
• 1:51:04
  If you serve God in your own house, you can lock it up and
• 1:51:06
  have a night vigil and not be afraid.
• 1:51:08
  You can move to a neighborhood that allows you to serve God
• 1:51:11
  acceptably. How do you say that does not
• 1:51:13
  matter? You can send your children to a
• 1:51:16
  school whose curriculum honors God and you are aware of it.
• 1:51:22
  Well, I've made my decision. I came as a midwife to help you
• 1:51:26
  make your decision. But by all godly means, make up
• 1:51:30
  your mind tonight. Even if you don't know your way
• 1:51:32
  out. Tell yourself that in the name
• 1:51:35
  of Jesus, my children will not have to ask me a question
• 1:51:38
  tomorrow and say, when God was helping others, where were you?
• 1:51:42
  That as a man of God, one day you will not get into the
• 1:51:45
  ministry of manipulation. God is trying to sanitize the
• 1:51:49
  church. Partner with what God is doing
• 1:51:51
  so that this money, money, money thing that has destroyed the
• 1:51:54
  church, we Kick It Out and serve God with integrity.
• 1:52:03
  But let me tell you an honest truth.
• 1:52:05
  If I stand here and I'm hungry and I'm not fasting with the
• 1:52:09
  gift of prophecy on me, you think I'll not say something
• 1:52:12
  about your life? That I would transact it to meet
• 1:52:16
  my need when I'm hungry and I'm owing and they're going to jail
• 1:52:22
  me tomorrow. And I see that there's
• 1:52:24
  $1,000,000 in your account. You're joking.
• 1:52:28
  I will call you and say stand here first in a special place.
• 1:52:31
  Let me finish with other people and I'll see you personally.
• 1:52:35
  There are many temptations that are resistible.
• 1:52:39
  The cure is to be empowered. Within the boundary of modesty,
• 1:52:53
  when your children are doing well, and I'm not trying to be
• 1:52:57
  sarcastic, when your wife is doing well, when your husband is
• 1:53:01
  doing well, you can stand with integrity and preach Jesus
• 1:53:06
  knowing that you will not drop the mic and have to go to jail
• 1:53:09
  tomorrow because you are owning your rent.
• 1:53:12
  I'm praying for someone in the name of Jesus, May God, who is
• 1:53:16
  called Ebenezer. The one who helps men, who takes
• 1:53:20
  away shame from their life. May that God help you, Ghana.
• 1:53:25
  May that God help you, Takoradi, in the name of Jesus.
• 1:53:30
  I pray for every man, particularly the grace for
• 1:53:34
  structural establishment, that you will have enough to take
• 1:53:38
  care of your family and read yourself of the temptation of
• 1:53:43
  compromise. Receive that grace in the name
• 1:53:45
  of Jesus. Sit down and let's wrap up,
• 1:53:53
  please. Thank you for your patience.
• 1:53:57
  Number six, I'll touch on it quickly.
• 1:54:01
  The decision to build destiny relationships.
• 1:54:07
  The decision to build destiny relationships.
• 1:54:12
  Let me answer a question that Bishop asked before introducing
• 1:54:17
  me. He said that there are a few
• 1:54:20
  preachers who had said perhaps they were trying to get me to
• 1:54:23
  preach once and maybe my schedule has not allowed.
• 1:54:27
  Why have I come here three times?
• 1:54:30
  I will tell you that. Number one, because I love Jesus
• 1:54:33
  #2 because I love you honestly, but #3 because of my
• 1:54:37
  relationship with him and his dear wife.
• 1:54:44
  Are you learning? Now?
• 1:54:46
  Look at me. If you have to use money to buy
• 1:54:51
  everything in your life, wisdom is not at work in your life.
• 1:54:55
  There are many things you will purchase in your life, paid for
• 1:54:59
  by relationships. You are as wealthy as your
• 1:55:03
  relationships, not just your bank accounts.
• 1:55:08
  Are we together? There are many people today who
• 1:55:14
  are wealthy. But they are still grounded
• 1:55:17
  because they are not wealthy. In relationships.
• 1:55:20
  Who likes you matters. Who hates you does not matter.
• 1:55:24
  Leave the naysayers. They are hating you does.
• 1:55:27
  Not count anything to your destiny at all.
• 1:55:29
  But who likes you? If you are Esther, pray that
• 1:55:33
  Hazaros will like you, else you will remain in Shushan.
• 1:55:37
  If you are Ruth, pray that boys will like you.
• 1:55:41
  If you are Abraham, pray that Abimelech will like you.
• 1:55:44
  If you are Lot, pray that Abraham will like you.
• 1:55:48
  Who likes you matters. Lot was not necessarily a wise
• 1:55:52
  man, so said his later decisions.
• 1:55:56
  But because he went with. Abraham.
• 1:55:59
  Everything Abraham had also came to Lot.
• 1:56:05
  Productivity is important, but relationships are a mysterious
• 1:56:09
  leverage. I have learned this in my life
• 1:56:15
  and may be true in your life from tonight.
• 1:56:18
  Not every relationship is equally valuable.
• 1:56:22
  You have to learn there are general relationships, there are
• 1:56:26
  seasonal relationships, and there are destiny relationships.
• 1:56:32
  General relationships. Be nice to all men.
• 1:56:35
  Anybody you meet at all, Seasonal relationships, people
• 1:56:39
  who come into your life. But there is a timing to their
• 1:56:42
  value, so receive quickly what they have to deliver before the
• 1:56:46
  time is exhausted. And there are destiny
• 1:56:49
  relationships. You fight to keep those
• 1:56:51
  relationships. You swallow your pride.
• 1:56:54
  For instance, if Jesus wants to leave your boat, kneel down and
• 1:56:58
  beg him to stay. Don't say it doesn't matter if
• 1:57:02
  Jesus leaves your boat, what happened to Jonah will happen to
• 1:57:06
  you. Two men were troubled.
• 1:57:10
  The difference was who was in their boat.
• 1:57:13
  For one, Jonah was in the boat. He brought loss and depletion.
• 1:57:17
  They almost died. He suggested their survival
• 1:57:20
  strategy, said throw me out and leave.
• 1:57:23
  But for another person, Jesus was in the boat since Tom arose.
• 1:57:27
  But because of one relationship in the boat, they were
• 1:57:30
  preserved. Who you carry determines whether
• 1:57:33
  you arrive. Are we together?
• 1:57:41
  Let me tell you the truth. When God wants to help you, He
• 1:57:45
  shortens the distance between you and a destiny helper.
• 1:57:50
  When a destiny helper holds your hands, he can bring acceleration
• 1:57:54
  to your life. John chapter 5 and verse 7.
• 1:57:57
  The man who laid down at Bethesda, the Bible says that
• 1:58:01
  man, when Jesus came to him after 38 years of suffering, he
• 1:58:05
  said, will thou be made holy? And the man said I have no.
• 1:58:09
  Man, that was his problem. There's no relationship that can
• 1:58:13
  be a leverage to my healing. I have no man.
• 1:58:17
  I'm an anointed man of God, but I have no man who can speak a
• 1:58:21
  good. Word.
• 1:58:22
  I'm a great caterer. I can cook for kings.
• 1:58:26
  It's amazing that those who need you do not know you are the one
• 1:58:29
  they are looking for, so you will need to leverage on a
• 1:58:32
  relationship that has their ears.
• 1:58:35
  Joseph could interpret dreams, but who would connect him to
• 1:58:38
  Pharaoh? He would have remained in prison
• 1:58:41
  there, but the one presser was the Lynx person.
• 1:58:44
  I'm praying for you, whoever must show up in your destiny in
• 1:58:48
  this season and connect you to the next level of your life.
• 1:58:51
  I pray that God will send them speedily.
• 1:58:56
  I say it again to a receiver. May God send them speedily.
• 1:59:04
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:59:07
  Please sit down. Relationships are powerful.
• 1:59:15
  I had the honor this year to be invited by the prestigious
• 1:59:19
  Harvard University to deliver 2 lectures when there are schools
• 1:59:25
  not to preach to deliver academic lectures.
• 1:59:29
  I'm not a professor. That's what relationships can
• 1:59:31
  do. I'm.
• 1:59:32
  I'm not saying this to brag. You have no idea how far
• 1:59:38
  relationships can go. One person's signature, please
• 1:59:42
  consider him, and that's it. There are people praying and
• 1:59:50
  sweating over visas, binding and casting demons, whereas the
• 1:59:55
  everybody has ears. That means they were designed to
• 1:59:59
  be relational. What do you think God gave them
• 2:00:01
  ears for? What do you think God gave them
• 2:00:03
  hands for? The most difficult system, you
• 2:00:07
  can penetrate it through relationships.
• 2:00:10
  Somebody can like you and say help this person, and because
• 2:00:14
  his father, help this person's father.
• 2:00:16
  Is there any man in the House of Saul that I may show kindness
• 2:00:20
  for Jonathan's sake? Is someone learning?
• 2:00:25
  Please value relationships. Don't insult people and say it
• 2:00:29
  doesn't matter. I don't need men, all I need is
• 2:00:31
  God. You are being sincere, but you
• 2:00:32
  will be punished severely. For that level of ignorance,
• 2:00:37
  when it has to do with the world of men, you need men.
• 2:00:41
  Even Jesus as a man needed men. My life has been greatly helped
• 2:00:48
  today, mercifully helped by God because of the ministry of men.
• 2:00:55
  Somebody who likes you can give a good word because of you.
• 2:00:59
  This is a great person. Please provide any assistance.
• 2:01:02
  In my own little way, as a man of God, I have been used by God
• 2:01:06
  as a destiny helper. Apostle, on your honor, please,
• 2:01:09
  what can I do for you? Is it this person?
• 2:01:11
  This person? Let me tell you, there are
• 2:01:13
  people in prison today. Relationship would have brought
• 2:01:16
  them out. They didn't have a relationship.
• 2:01:20
  There are people today that there's there's no job that you
• 2:01:23
  are desiring that a relationship cannot bring for you and you
• 2:01:27
  believe me on this again, I pray for you.
• 2:01:30
  You don't need everybody but the one person ordained by God.
• 2:01:34
  To connect to your ministry, to connect to your destiny, to
• 2:01:38
  connect to your family for your rising.
• 2:01:42
  In the name of Jesus, beginning from this night, may my God
• 2:01:46
  allow for that connection in the name of Jesus.
• 2:01:54
  Hallelujah. Please sit down.
• 2:01:58
  Next time you are writing your streams of income, add
• 2:02:01
  relationships. If they ask you what are your
• 2:02:04
  streams of income, don't just say real estate, tech,
• 2:02:08
  relationships. Everything money can do,
• 2:02:12
  relationships can do and can do it cheaper.
• 2:02:18
  It is your relationship with Jesus Christ that unfortunately
• 2:02:21
  the opportunity to be anointed and to serve the purposes of
• 2:02:24
  God. People are in hell today because
• 2:02:27
  of relationships or lack of it. People are with the Lord today
• 2:02:30
  in glory because of relationships.
• 2:02:33
  They chose to love Jesus. They chose to connect to Him.
• 2:02:39
  Don't ignore people. Discern people as they come into
• 2:02:42
  your life. This woman, I see that she may
• 2:02:47
  look like an ordinary woman, but I've descended.
• 2:02:49
  There is a grace upon her. She has the ears of many people
• 2:02:53
  and you invest in the relationship.
• 2:02:55
  Don't be too proud to say sorry. There are relationships you
• 2:02:59
  should never allow go out of your life.
• 2:03:42
  I look at my life today as I prepare to wrap up.
• 2:03:46
  I imagine if I rejected Jesus, such a priceless relationship,
• 2:03:50
  where would I be now? Would you ever know about Joshua
• 2:03:53
  Salman? Imagine that I rejected my
• 2:03:56
  relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 2:03:58
  When I talk of relationship, I don't just mean vertically,
• 2:04:01
  Horizontally, anything that fights your relationship is
• 2:04:05
  fighting your potential for greatness.
• 2:04:08
  Beware of those who come to sow a seed of discord.
• 2:04:12
  Someone who was there lifting your life, and in one moment
• 2:04:16
  they make you hate your mother, they make you hate your father,
• 2:04:19
  they make you hate your friends, they make you hate your destiny.
• 2:04:22
  Help us, it's an attack. There are relationships you
• 2:04:26
  should never fight. I hate my pastor.
• 2:04:29
  Be careful. Be careful.
• 2:04:31
  They may not be perfect, but be careful.
• 2:04:34
  The connection is to your advantage.
• 2:04:36
  They are not God, but they represent His program.
• 2:04:47
  Are we together? There are relationships that I
• 2:04:51
  maintain jealously. Jealously.
• 2:04:54
  Those relationships are a profound advantage to my life.
• 2:04:59
  I'm not talking of parasitic relationships.
• 2:05:03
  Go and listen to my message. The irrefutable ministry of
• 2:05:05
  destiny. Help us.
• 2:05:10
  You are as powerful as those who have chosen to stand with you.
• 2:05:18
  Let me show you a scripture in this conference and then we'll
• 2:05:20
  wrap up. It's a scripture the Lord showed
• 2:05:23
  me and it changed my life. Numbers chapter 1, I believe,
• 2:05:28
  and verse 5. I like you to read as loud and
• 2:05:35
  as clear. This is a secret to a man of God
• 2:05:38
  right now. Go ahead one to read.
• 2:05:41
  And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you.
• 2:05:46
  Stop there, read it again. And these are the names of the
• 2:05:51
  men. Every time God sends you, there
• 2:05:56
  are names of men who should stand with you.
• 2:06:00
  Stand with you in prayer. Stand with you financially.
• 2:06:03
  It is your assignment to call them in the place of prayer.
• 2:06:07
  There is no man on assignment who goes alone.
• 2:06:10
  Every man on assignment there are names.
• 2:06:13
  Hear me, my dear sister, if it is true that God has called you
• 2:06:17
  to run that business, then there are names of men that should
• 2:06:21
  stand with you. Man of God, you are alone in
• 2:06:23
  ministry, laboring over everything because you do not
• 2:06:27
  know. That there are men, there are.
• 2:06:30
  Always men financial help us, Prayer help us, comfort us,
• 2:06:38
  support us. No, you can't give up.
• 2:06:41
  You fasted too much, you've prayed too much.
• 2:06:44
  The rent issue would not stop you from going for ministry.
• 2:06:46
  Let's work together. This scripture changed my life
• 2:06:51
  when God showed me I'm not alone.
• 2:06:55
  I have God by my side, but there are certain men.
• 2:06:59
  That God has brought to stand by me.
• 2:07:01
  This is a word of comfort to a man of God.
• 2:07:03
  Don't give up. In ministry.
• 2:07:05
  There are men. Your assignment is not to look
• 2:07:08
  for them. Your assignment is to call them
• 2:07:11
  in the place of prayer. That church building, going
• 2:07:16
  about that church building, just by using the Y, the X, you'll be
• 2:07:20
  frustrated. There are men already.
• 2:07:23
  They may not be Ghanaians. What they are men.
• 2:07:26
  Sent by God, you can be in Ghana and they can be in America.
• 2:07:30
  They can be at the Middle East. The man that was sent to empower
• 2:07:34
  Abraham was called Abimelech. The man that was empowered to to
• 2:07:39
  raise Lot was called Abraham. The man empowered to raise
• 2:07:44
  Esther was called a Hazaros. The man empowered to watch the
• 2:07:47
  tears of Ruth was called Boaz. Have you found the man that God
• 2:07:52
  has placed to help you? These are the names of the men
• 2:07:57
  that shall stand with you. I know your father's going to be
• 2:08:00
  with the Lord, but there are men that God has anointed to stand.
• 2:08:04
  I know your mother has gone to be with the Lord.
• 2:08:07
  You are an orphan, but there are men.
• 2:08:10
  You don't look for them. You call them in the place of
• 2:08:13
  prayer. These are the names of the men,
• 2:08:20
  man of God, that shall. Stand with you.
• 2:08:24
  There are men ordained by God to stand with this ministry that
• 2:08:27
  you will never go down. They stand financially, they
• 2:08:31
  stand in prayer, they use their influence, legal influence,
• 2:08:35
  political influence. This is how the economy of God
• 2:08:38
  runs. Listen, I'm wrapping up.
• 2:08:45
  I hope you are learning something this night.
• 2:08:48
  For some of you, this right here is your prayer request for
• 2:08:51
  tonight. That you go back home and lie
• 2:08:54
  down and say, Father, you called me, where are the men?
• 2:08:58
  Why is getting a visa difficult? Where are the men anointed to
• 2:09:02
  help me at the embassy? Why is it difficult for me to
• 2:09:06
  get a house with integrity? There are always men.
• 2:09:12
  Your advancement is at the mercy of the men and the quicker you
• 2:09:18
  find them, the quicker you arrive.
• 2:09:24
  Is someone learning tonight? Look at this right?
• 2:09:31
  There's a gentleman on camera helping to capture this right
• 2:09:36
  there. I came in and I saw wonderful
• 2:09:38
  protocol people. As we arrived, there were a team
• 2:09:41
  of people who received us so graciously.
• 2:09:43
  Those are the men anointed to stand.
• 2:09:48
  Can I tell you this? Every time you find the man
• 2:09:51
  anointed to stand, you don't need to do explanation.
• 2:09:54
  There is a connection. If you have to beg people to
• 2:09:57
  stay, if you have to manipulate people to stay, they are
• 2:10:01
  strangers. Be patient.
• 2:10:03
  You see, let me tell you this. This applies to any kind of
• 2:10:07
  relationship. When you have not found people
• 2:10:10
  or them to be in your life, they would cheapen your value.
• 2:10:13
  You will keep paying the price of maintenance.
• 2:10:19
  Let me tell you, maintenance is costly, especially when it does
• 2:10:22
  not connect. Try to put a BMW engine in a
• 2:10:27
  Mercedes-Benz. That's why you will know that
• 2:10:29
  maintenance is costly because the fundamental problem is that
• 2:10:33
  they were not supposed to connect.
• 2:10:37
  We're together. Don't just see any rich man and
• 2:10:40
  believe that's the one sent to you and keep relaying and
• 2:10:43
  harassing the person. He'll say, remind me tomorrow,
• 2:10:45
  remind me tomorrow. You stay for 12 hours in an
• 2:10:48
  office. He's not sent to you, Sir.
• 2:10:50
  Go back home and preserve your honor and say, Lord, where are
• 2:10:53
  the? Men who know the value of what I
• 2:10:56
  carry, where are the men? And one man can come into your
• 2:11:01
  family and say God sent me. A family of four ladies and an
• 2:11:06
  old woman, God sent me. I'm not talking of corrupt and
• 2:11:09
  bad people, genuine people sent by God.
• 2:11:12
  And they will say their assignment is to make sure that
• 2:11:15
  all your children's school to masters or PhD and get jobs And
• 2:11:20
  you say why are you doing this? They say God sent me, God sent.
• 2:11:24
  Me, God sent me. I found a few men in my life
• 2:11:31
  that were ordained by God to stand with me, and I can.
• 2:11:34
  Tell you there have been priceless gifts to my life.
• 2:11:39
  This is to everybody. But let me encourage a man of
• 2:11:42
  God as we wrap up. Please go back and pray this
• 2:11:46
  night. Lord, I am tired of moving
• 2:11:48
  around, begging and compromising.
• 2:11:50
  There has to be a man sent. I'm tired of compromises sent by
• 2:11:56
  God. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 2:12:00
  let's stand. The 7th and the final decision
• 2:12:10
  that you must make using the power of your will is the
• 2:12:17
  decision to be a blessing. You must.
• 2:12:21
  Make up your mind according to Genesis 12th and verse 3, that I
• 2:12:26
  will be a blessing at the end of my life.
• 2:12:29
  It will not be that I was a nuisance to creation.
• 2:12:33
  The decision to be a blessing, it says, and in thee shall all
• 2:12:40
  the families of the earth be blessed.
• 2:12:44
  In thee Joshua Salman. In thee, Bishop Asari, you can
• 2:12:50
  mention your name, In thee shall all the families in Ghana.
• 2:12:55
  All the families in Takoradi, that means there is an
• 2:12:59
  investment of the Spirit upon my life.
• 2:13:02
  That makes me a blessing. I am not a curse, I am not a
• 2:13:05
  nuisance, I am not a liability. I am a blessing by grace.
• 2:13:10
  Someone shouting, say I am a blessing.
• 2:13:12
  Say convincingly, say I am a blessing as a man of God, I am a
• 2:13:17
  blessing as a businesswoman. I am a blessing as a mother, as
• 2:13:21
  a father, as a preacher, as a brother.
• 2:13:24
  I am a blessing the 7th and. Final decision that you must
• 2:13:29
  make with your life is a decision to be a blessing.
• 2:13:34
  Hold hands with someone by your right and left.
• 2:13:40
  In my life, be glorified, be glorified.
• 2:13:51
  In my life, be glorified, be glorified.
• 2:14:02
  You get the glory, you get the praise, you take the honor.
• 2:14:12
  I just want to say, hey, glory, you get the glory, you get the
• 2:14:19
  praise, You take the honor. I just want to say thank you.
• 2:14:27
  Sing it one more time. You so in my life, be glorified.
• 2:14:37
  Be glorified in my life. Be glorified.
• 2:14:46
  Be glorified. The path of the just through the
• 2:14:59
  quality of their decisions should always be as a light that
• 2:15:05
  shine it. More and more and more and more.
• 2:15:12
  One prayer in 10 seconds. I do the altar call and we're
• 2:15:16
  done for Tonight, Father, I decide that I will go forward.
• 2:15:22
  I decide that I will be a blessing.
• 2:15:25
  I decide that I will love you all the days of my life.
• 2:15:29
  I decide that I will be transformed.
• 2:15:32
  A serious belief. I pray.
• 2:15:34
  I decide. That I will find my assignment
• 2:15:38
  in life and destiny. I decide that I will take care
• 2:15:42
  of my health and my physical well-being.
• 2:15:45
  I decide that I will invest in strategic relationships.
• 2:15:50
  I decide that I will be a. Blessing to my world.
• 2:15:53
  Someone go ahead and pray. Can I pray?
• 2:15:57
  Can karate pray? You get the glory.
• 2:16:14
  In Jesus name we pray lend me your attention for one minute.
• 2:16:18
  Everyone outside, inside, the many who are following online.
• 2:16:25
  You cannot end such a destiny defining meeting without giving
• 2:16:29
  someone an opportunity to honor the first decision that I taught
• 2:16:34
  you and that happens to be the greatest and the wisest decision
• 2:16:38
  that any man can make in this side of God's Kingdom.
• 2:16:40
  Hear me, you come as you are, but you do not remain as you
• 2:16:46
  are. I'm calling on someone who is
• 2:16:49
  saying apostle whilst listening to you preach.
• 2:16:52
  The Spirit of God began to convict me that there is a need
• 2:16:56
  to make it right with Jesus. This is beyond the church
• 2:17:00
  decision. This is beyond religion.
• 2:17:03
  This is a call to a functional relationship with Jesus.
• 2:17:08
  You might be outside, scattered among the thousands of people
• 2:17:11
  there represented, or you might be in the midst of this crowd
• 2:17:14
  here, or perhaps someone who is following by way of television,
• 2:17:18
  following from your home. Give me the honor of leading you
• 2:17:21
  to this Jesus, the one who's changed my life, the one who's
• 2:17:26
  changed our lives, the one who will change anyone.
• 2:17:29
  You can reject him. Remember, I taught you.
• 2:17:31
  You do not choose consequences, but you can make choices.
• 2:17:35
  You can make decisions. Let tonight be the wisest use of
• 2:17:39
  your power to choose your will. I'm going to count 1 to 5, and
• 2:17:44
  I'm calling on a bold person here who is ready to make it
• 2:17:48
  right with Jesus. You're saying apostle, I'm not
• 2:17:50
  ashamed. Not after what you have taught,
• 2:17:53
  not after the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:17:55
  Wherever you are. If you're coming from outside,
• 2:17:58
  I'll request that you run once the front is.
• 2:18:01
  Full. You have to stand where you are
• 2:18:04
  if you are in this place as I count 1 to fight very boldly,
• 2:18:08
  leave your seat and come stand right before me.
• 2:18:11
  God bless you, I begin my. Counting now let's honor them as
• 2:18:14
  they come one. God bless you.
• 2:18:18
  Come, come, oh God. You are my God, come and I will
• 2:18:29
  never praise you. Oh God, you are my God.
• 2:18:37
  Keep coming and I will never love you.
• 2:18:44
  Oh God, you are my God. Keep coming and I will never
• 2:18:51
  serve you. I will seek you in the morning.
• 2:18:59
  I have learned to walk in your ways for step by step you leave
• 2:19:08
  me and now follow you all of my days.
• 2:19:16
  Someone is still coming back already.
• 2:19:18
  Let's encourage them as they come.
• 2:19:20
  You're coming to Jesus. Make it quick, Apostle.
• 2:19:25
  I want to win this war finally. God bless you my sister.
• 2:19:29
  God bless you my brother. Come.
• 2:19:31
  Do not be ashamed. This is a destiny defining
• 2:19:34
  decision. He brought you to change your
• 2:19:37
  life. He brought you to change your
• 2:19:39
  destiny. Doesn't matter what you have
• 2:19:42
  done or not done, he's willing to receive you.
• 2:19:45
  You can start afresh again. Step by step you lead me and.
• 2:19:53
  Now follow all of my days. God bless you.
• 2:20:02
  God bless you young and old, male and female.
• 2:20:05
  God bless you. Come.
• 2:20:07
  Nothing to be ashamed of, Apostle.
• 2:20:09
  I want to come, but I'm not sure if I'm saved.
• 2:20:12
  Can I join them? Please come.
• 2:20:13
  There is such a thing as the assurance of salvation.
• 2:20:17
  I'm working on borrowed time. My apologies, but this is an all
• 2:20:21
  important decision. It's the first reason for which
• 2:20:24
  we are gathered here tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please
• 2:20:27
  look at me. Those of you who have come to
• 2:20:30
  the front, I want to thank you for your boldness.
• 2:20:33
  I want to thank you. I salute you for your courage.
• 2:20:36
  Thank you. Thank you, Ma.
• 2:20:39
  Thank you, Sir. It pays.
• 2:20:42
  It pays to love Jesus. It pays to know him.
• 2:20:46
  It pays to serve him. Now, here's what you will do for
• 2:20:50
  me. I'm going to lead you to make a
• 2:20:51
  prayer, a prayer of faith, and zoom the camera on me one
• 2:20:57
  minute. Let me just speak to someone who
• 2:21:00
  is watching by television, watching by Internet.
• 2:21:05
  We're here, Takoradi, ministering under the influence
• 2:21:09
  of God's power and by the Spirit of God.
• 2:21:13
  I'm speaking to you in your home, watching by television
• 2:21:17
  tonight, watching by Internet, or even watching a rebroadcast.
• 2:21:23
  This is your moment to make Jesus Lord of your life.
• 2:21:27
  It doesn't matter how powerful what you have heard is, if you
• 2:21:30
  do not act on it, you wasted the message.
• 2:21:34
  The beauty of this message is that you act upon it by using
• 2:21:38
  this gift God gave you. And we did receive the greatest
• 2:21:42
  gift He intends to give you tonight.
• 2:21:45
  I want to thank you so much for those of you who have come.
• 2:21:48
  Let me please request that you lift your right hand as a sign
• 2:21:52
  of surrender to Jesus and say this after me as loud and as
• 2:21:56
  clear as you can. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have
• 2:22:01
  heard your word. I love you with all my heart.
• 2:22:07
  I believe that you are the Son of God.
• 2:22:12
  I believe that you died for my sin.
• 2:22:16
  I believe that you rose again for my justification.
• 2:22:21
  Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord,
• 2:22:30
  and my King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 2:22:37
  Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life.
• 2:22:43
  I'm a child of God. I go for whatever and backward
• 2:22:48
  never. Amen.
• 2:22:50
  Father, thank you for these precious ones.
• 2:22:52
  They have declared your lordship over their lives.
• 2:22:55
  I decree and declare that the grace to live the victorious
• 2:22:58
  Christian life is released upon you this moment.
• 2:23:01
  I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God, and I
• 2:23:04
  declare that from tonight you go for whatever and back whatever
• 2:23:10
  in Jesus. Name.
• 2:23:11
  Now please look up very respectfully.
• 2:23:14
  Can I request that you follow? There's a gentleman waving his
• 2:23:17
  hands. There'll be a group of
• 2:23:19
  counsellors who will have a word with you very briefly and a
• 2:23:22
  prayer with you, and then you're back to your seat.
• 2:23:25
  Let's honor them as they go. God bless you.
• 2:23:29
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:23:32
  Now, please lend me your attention for one moment.
• 2:23:35
  This conference continues tomorrow morning.
• 2:23:38
  What time, Sir? 9:00 in the morning.
• 2:23:40
  So nine were here in the morning.
• 2:23:43
  And then the final service for my session would be in the
• 2:23:49
  evening. And then by the grace of God,
• 2:23:52
  would use that to be a miracle service.
• 2:23:55
  We didn't have the time to minister to people because you
• 2:23:58
  needed to hear this today. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:24:02
  Now let me charge you. Go back home and get this
• 2:24:05
  message. Get it, Listen to it again and
• 2:24:09
  give this message to anyone you truly love.
• 2:24:12
  You see someone confused, disoriented, tell them I have a
• 2:24:15
  gift for you from this conference.
• 2:24:17
  Here it is. Listen to it again for your
• 2:24:19
  edification for now. May the Lord bless you, may His
• 2:24:23
  hand be strong upon you. These decisions that you have
• 2:24:26
  learned as you act upon them, the results follow immediately.
• 2:24:31
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. Give Jesus a big hand clap and
• 2:24:35
  God bless you.
