  Apostle. I'm a fashion designer.
• 0:10
  Can God prosper me? I'm a tailor.
• 0:12
  Can God prosper me? Absolutely.
• 0:15
  The first question is, who knows?
• 0:16
  You are there? Everybody here is wearing a
• 0:18
  cloth. Why are you not the one who sold
• 0:20
  my cloth? Maybe because I don't know you
• 0:23
  are there. Maybe you are even better than
• 0:25
  my tailors. But do I know you are there?
• 0:27
  You need to learn how to make people know you are there.
• 0:32
  Are we together? The people who?
• 0:38
  The woman who said come see the woman at the well, they didn't
• 0:42
  know they needed Jesus. It took a woman as a bridge.
• 0:45
  She said come see a man that told me everything I've done.
• 0:48
  They came and they met him and their lives changed.
• 0:54
  Be productive in the name of Jesus.
• 0:58
  You've been cooking in your small kitchen and everybody
• 1:02
  likes your food. Most of the people who eat your
• 1:05
  food do not even know. Somebody may buy your food and
• 1:08
  repackage it and resell it to kings.
• 1:11
  You have the capacity to do more, but because you are not
• 1:15
  willing to expand to be productive, I pray for you.
• 1:18
  May your hands begin to be productive from today.
• 1:25
  One of our precious ladies, she has a bee farm, lovely lady.
• 1:30
  Yesterday I was discussing with them, I think it was last week,
• 1:33
  asking them the various things that they do on my way going
• 1:36
  home. And then I picked interest in
• 1:38
  some of them. And I you said you have your bee
• 1:39
  farm where in Abuja here slash Nina and all of that Suleja.
• 1:44
  I said OK, let me see what you you can do and yesterday after
• 1:49
  the workers meeting, she comes to me standing with a honey, you
• 1:53
  know, packaged beautifully packaged and I told her I said
• 1:56
  I'm very proud of you. Whatever support God can help to
• 1:59
  give you for your business will do that I used in favor without
• 2:02
  prayer. You already have started the
• 2:05
  journey. Nobody will start the journey
• 2:07
  for you, but as you start the signs start following you
• 2:12
  someone now is that possible Me too.
• 2:14
  I make honey. I don't know you.
• 2:16
  You, you, you've never told anybody you make honey.
• 2:19
  That's the that's the issue. It's not those who are available
• 2:23
  who are blessed. It's those who are known.
• 2:32
  Maybe you even make better honey.
• 2:34
  Unfortunately, you will not get my support because I don't know
• 2:36
  you. Are you saying that now I post I
• 2:42
  can fix phones provided it is not scattered, I can fix it.
• 2:45
  I don't know you. We don't know you.
• 2:47
  Favor must have a location to go to.
• 2:50
  Did you hear what I said? Favor must have a location.
• 2:56
  Give it a location. Where should it come to?
• 2:59
  No shop, no place, no nothing. You're not branding your impact.
• 3:09
  There was a time and, and I'm, I'm saying this, there was a
• 3:13
  time some people bought a lot of grains and they were looking for
• 3:18
  warehouses, looking for someone to rent them warehouses so that
• 3:23
  they store the grains. And I thought to myself, I said,
• 3:25
  look at someone's opportunity. He's missed an opportunity to
• 3:29
  make millions of naira. Are we together now?
• 3:33
  Warehouses just to store the grain, not to do any other
• 3:38
  thing. I know someone in northern
• 3:41
  Nigeria and I'm not exaggerating.
• 3:43
  I think they pay him about 300 million for storage. 300
• 3:49
  million, I was told 300 million, not for farming, for creating a
• 3:57
  chain of storage systems. I mean, what I'm saying, 300
• 4:02
  million, he's not famine, he's not bagging.
• 4:06
  You just come and the line. He has a chain of them and you
• 4:10
  store your grains. They protect it.
• 4:12
  Once it's time, they open it for you. 300 million.
• 4:19
  Hello. Be productive, be productive, be
• 4:29
  productive. You can cook, but the last time
• 4:32
  you cooked, there was no packaging, there was no address
• 4:36
  there. There was no phone number.
• 4:39
  We enjoyed your rice, but we don't know who you are.
• 4:42
  And so we started using the person who brought it to us, not
• 4:45
  the person who cooked it, because the person who brought
• 4:48
  it to us was the location. Favor could see.
• 4:51
  Is somebody learning. Now, we're not in a business
• 4:54
  class, but let me tell you this, Favor needs a location to rest.
• 4:58
  When you order something from DHL, it must know where to land
• 5:01
  that. If it's if it's nowhere, they
• 5:04
  return it back. There are some of you here.
• 5:11
  What you can do with your hand is only God that knows.
• 5:15
  By now you should be in palaces serving kings, whether it's
• 5:20
  dressing them, whether it's it's your, your hand, your hair, some
• 5:25
  of you. The grace God has given you, you
• 5:28
  should be the one dressing the hair of Queens and royalties.
• 5:32
  You are gifted, but you do not know how to be productive, so
• 5:35
  nobody knows you. In the name of Jesus, the grace
• 5:40
  for visibility so that those who need you, I'm saying this from
• 5:45
  my heart and I'm not praying for everybody, I'm praying for
• 5:47
  serious people. The grace to be seen in the name
• 5:51
  of Jesus, may it rest on you. Hallelujah, the grace to be
• 5:59
  seen, let it rest on you. By the power of the Holy Spirit,
• 6:04
  by the power of the Holy Spirit, say I receive grace to be
• 6:09
  productive. Hallelujah.
• 6:14
  Don't make things. You turn plantain into flour and
• 6:19
  you just wrap it as if it's a charm.
• 6:21
  No packaging, no name. And you bring it and say don't
• 6:25
  worry about the cover. The plantain is is organic.
• 6:28
  That's not the issue. You why?
• 6:29
  Why are you telling me what you should write on the pack?
• 6:32
  Telling me the plantain is organic does not bless me.
• 6:35
  What if I give it to someone as a gift?
• 6:37
  Must I keep telling everybody it's organic?
• 6:39
  Write it there, organic flour healthy for.
• 6:44
  Find somebody to write it for you put your number, put your
• 6:47
  e-mail. Then you can now go and pray.
• 6:50
  Father, I've done my own part at least with the limit of the
• 6:53
  resources and then you get a call.
• 6:55
  Now favor can work. Someone calls and said, look you
• 6:59
  just as if you knew that my husband has a health crisis.
• 7:03
  We've been looking for someone to make plantain flour because
• 7:06
  our consultant said that's the only thing you should eat.
• 7:08
  You now say Mommy, I'm here. They say keep bringing it every
• 7:11
  day. Bring 11 carton every week.
• 7:14
  That's how you start. Then you now say, Mommy, I do
• 7:17
  cassava too, I do other things too.
• 7:20
  Then during Christmas you bring 1 carton free of charge and the
• 7:23
  woman says I want to open a shop for you.
• 7:25
  Your destiny is already rising. It is not difficult to rise when
• 7:29
  you understand the system of the Kingdom.
• 7:31
  I'm telling you this, some of you are marketers.
• 7:36
  You can make people remove their clothes in and enter inside the
• 7:40
  fridge and sit down there till they die.
• 7:43
  Your gift is your mouth, you are not using it.
• 7:45
  You are begging and God gave you something.
• 7:52
  Are we together? Once you open up your mouth, you
• 7:56
  have convincing power. I'm not saying you tell lies,
• 7:59
  you just know what to say. Why are you wasting it?
• 8:03
  Create a consultancy firm where you link demand and supply.
• 8:10
  Be known for the person who announces products when they
• 8:13
  bring out products. Are we together Now You can
• 8:17
  double up as an influencer. Eventually there are people
• 8:20
  wasting their pages, getting 0 naira for it, gossiping and
• 8:24
  creating trouble. Now somebody wants to kill you
• 8:27
  because you are not doing the right thing.
• 8:35
  I hope. I hope as you are laughing, you
• 8:36
  are learning. I'm very serious over what I'm
• 8:38
  saying. Very serious.
• 8:41
  One time our mother in the Lord Mummy Jio gave me a gift
• 8:46
  Plantain and she was telling me said you know my son, this
• 8:51
  plantain is oil free, a lot of things, very crispy, nice
• 8:56
  plantain. And I thought to myself, I said
• 8:59
  this is a metric, a mother of mothers, what is she looking
• 9:02
  for? Trying to be productive.
• 9:05
  But she gave me that as a gift. I ate it for two reasons.
• 9:08
  One, it was delicious. Two, it was impartation.
• 9:11
  I ate everything. Are we together?
• 9:20
  Let me tell you this. You must be known for something.
• 9:24
  Find out something from today. Find it.
• 9:30
  I heard the story of a woman. You've had the story.
• 9:33
  It was Moi Moi that took her to the White House.
• 9:37
  Some of you here, if you fry, whether it's bean cake, there
• 9:42
  are just things you can do. Some of you, if you bake cakes,
• 9:46
  we'll eat it and bite our fingers, but we don't know you.
• 9:52
  I feel steady in my heart to pray that graceful visibility.
• 9:55
  Again, listen to me. Do you know there was a time in
• 9:58
  this ministry? I told the leaders, I said I
• 10:01
  want to start knowing the people who are in this ministry from a
• 10:04
  career standpoint, just for my knowledge.
• 10:07
  And I was shocked at the quality of people in this ministry who
• 10:11
  just sit quietly. There's almost no major field of
• 10:15
  endeavour where there are no professionals sitting quietly.
• 10:18
  Some of them sit outside. And I started blaming myself.
• 10:21
  I said, Mister man, you need to grow.
• 10:23
  God has given you a rich Bank of human resources that you are
• 10:27
  under utilizing. If it's professors, they are
• 10:30
  here. Military men, they are here.
• 10:32
  Judicial people, they are here. Oil and gas, they are here.
• 10:35
  Aviation, they are here. Tech, they are here.
• 10:38
  Spirituality, they are here. Prayer warriors, they are here
• 10:42
  everything and if you don't know how to aggregate your resources,
• 10:46
  some of you God has given you an A system of advantage.
• 10:50
  It's just that you are looking down on yourself.
• 10:53
  Whatever makes you look down on yourself.
• 10:55
  I cast that spirit forever. Listen, some of you were going
• 11:03
  to pray. Do you know there are some of
• 11:05
  you here who are exceptional with logistics?
• 11:09
  You can make things delivered in one day, you know who to make
• 11:13
  happen, but you don't have any company, you've not registered
• 11:16
  anything, and billions and millions are floating around you
• 11:20
  while you are praying and say God, when will you look at me?
• 11:29
  Some of you here, if we need 10,000 chickens by tomorrow, you
• 11:34
  have the capacity to supply it. But we don't know you, don't
• 11:38
  know you. Some of you are lynx men.
• 11:42
  You can make things easy. If we say today as a ministry we
• 11:46
  need 100 hectares of land. Some of you have legitimate
• 11:51
  connections. That land will come out in one
• 11:53
  week, and yet another person can be reaping the benefits.
• 11:56
  Anybody taking your place because of your carelessness?
• 12:02
  I cry unto the God of my covenant.
• 12:04
  May God open your eyes today and redirect you.
• 12:11
  Hallelujah. Some of you had 9A's, 9A's in
• 12:17
  your SSC. You're wasting your brain first
• 12:20
  class, You're wasting it. You can set up something.
• 12:24
  Find young people who don't have a job yet.
• 12:27
  Create something tailor made for jam periods.
• 12:31
  Tailor made for Wyatt periods. Only 50 students charge your
• 12:36
  price. Anybody who cannot pay should go
• 12:38
  away though no sentiments and settle down to train the people.
• 12:43
  I used to know a woman in in Abuja here, she was a Ghanaian.
• 12:46
  I don't know if she still does it.
• 12:48
  She used to do 20 students those days at 50,000 per student.
• 12:53
  But I tell you, if you are her student, no matter how dull your
• 12:57
  head is, you must pass your exam.
• 12:59
  She just knows what to do. Some of you are ghost writers.
• 13:04
  Do you know how many people are in desperate need?
• 13:08
  You can write anything. There are people who have the
• 13:11
  influence and the capacity, but they do not know you are there.
• 13:15
  I came to challenge you. We are wrapping up next week.
• 13:18
  I'm speaking to you from my heart.
• 13:21
  Some of you have links to people in China.
• 13:24
  You can bring in anything without compromise, but you've
• 13:28
  not made one mirror from it. If I catch your gift, I will be
• 13:34
  glad to pray for you. Don't come with empty hand and
• 13:37
  empty head and one day anointing.
• 13:40
  No Sir, there are some of you here who are business people.
• 13:45
  Listen, my precious people, international guest, you will be
• 13:48
  surprised as God brings you here every week.
• 13:51
  Pray that you open your eyes. You will be surprised.
• 13:54
  You will see a loophole. It is not all corruption in
• 13:58
  Africa. There are legitimate
• 14:00
  opportunities. That's supposed to be the next
• 14:03
  point. The the next point, let me even
• 14:06
  give it to you. Networking and strategic
• 14:09
  relationships. You are as powerful as your
• 14:13
  networks. I've taught you who hates you
• 14:17
  does not matter, but you need somebody to like you.
• 14:21
  You are as fortunate as the people who believe in you.
• 14:25
  Build strategic networks. That's number five and
• 14:29
  relationships. Be part of relevant groups that
• 14:34
  are around your area of value. Attend programs to meet like
• 14:39
  minded people. Don't say you want to be a
• 14:41
  leader in a particular field and there's a a conference around
• 14:45
  that field happening and you're not going.
• 14:48
  It doesn't cost anything. You want to become a leading
• 14:51
  voice in agriculture. You hear that there's a
• 14:53
  conference in UK or in Kenya or in Nigeria and you are absent.
• 14:58
  You're not there. Registering your presence alone
• 15:02
  can help you meet strategic people.
• 15:05
  They they consider you serious. God gives you the honor of
• 15:10
  snapping photos with the people, Pictures and messages.
• 15:13
  Let us make money in our image image.
• 15:17
  The image before you matters. I hope I'm not wasting your
• 15:26
  time. There are many real estate
• 15:30
  people here. You've not built one house and
• 15:33
  you are begging not because you lack capacity.
• 15:35
  Those who need you do not know you are there.
• 15:38
  Strategic relationships going to beg for opportunities will never
• 15:44
  give you opportunities. Use the way of value.
• 15:49
  Package your products. Take it to the relevant people
• 15:52
  just to help you see there are people who have done that
• 15:55
  Apostle, just to let you know that there's an opportunity like
• 15:58
  that. I got to find out somebody in
• 16:00
  this ministry who is responsible for arranging to for those who
• 16:06
  want to buy aircrafts and he just said a Poss.
• 16:09
  If you know anybody in the world who wants to buy aircrafts.
• 16:12
  God has given me an opportunity, not just private jets aircraft.
• 16:16
  I thought it was a joke until he sent me the documentation of it
• 16:20
  was an opportunity God gave him. I said, my God, some of you here
• 16:29
  organize weddings. If you organize any program, it
• 16:33
  will not fail. It's a grace God gave you.
• 16:35
  What are you doing? You are still begging.
• 16:38
  You organize birthdays or programs, it will not fail.
• 16:42
  Listen, why do you allow resources to pass you to go to
• 16:47
  people that may be less skilled than you but have a better
• 16:50
  network? There are people today who will
• 16:53
  receive blessings not because of who they are, but because who or
• 16:57
  who they are connected to. It's a leverage.
• 17:01
  It's a leverage or speaking to a gentleman who was really angry
• 17:07
  because he lost the job, you know, the job, the downsizing,
• 17:10
  you said, and the rest. And he really felt bad and he
• 17:13
  was discussing with me said, I mean, I, I really felt bad.
• 17:16
  It's not like I'm lacking food to eat, but I'm I really,
• 17:19
  really, I thought they would retain me and I told him, I
• 17:21
  said, my friend, getting angry will not solve your problem.
• 17:26
  You have a rare qualification. Haven't worked with you said
• 17:29
  before. How many people have that create
• 17:32
  something You can be a board member for many people just with
• 17:36
  that credibility, you won't fail.
• 17:43
  Oh, how many professors today? With all due respect, let me
• 17:49
  challenge you academicians. You are a doctor.
• 17:52
  You are a professor. There are many people today who
• 17:56
  cannot register certain institutions by law until they
• 17:59
  have someone with your qualification.
• 18:01
  Why don't you turn your qualification to value?
• 18:05
  You are a professor and you are struggling.
• 18:07
  There are many institutions that cannot be accredited today
• 18:10
  because they do not have enough professors.
• 18:13
  Your presence, man that is in honor and knoweth not, will be
• 18:19
  like a beast in the field that perisheth.
• 18:22
  I made-up my mind that my relevance as a man of God will
• 18:25
  not stop on the pulpit. That means if I'm not preaching,
• 18:29
  I become a known entity everywhere else.
• 18:31
  God forbid. God forbid.
• 18:33
  God forbid, Sir, if I'm not on the pulpit preaching, I'm
• 18:40
  advising governments. If I'm not advising governments,
• 18:44
  I'm raising leaders. I'm doing something else.
• 18:46
  I would not be a known entity. It is called value.
• 18:51
  Anywhere favor comes, it will find you there.
• 18:54
  From the left, there's a place for you there.
• 18:56
  From the right, there's a place for you there.
• 18:59
  I learned that from Doctor Miles Monroe.
• 19:01
  He was a great man of God ran, I think, I hope he still saw the
• 19:05
  largest church then in Bahamas. But he was an advisor to
• 19:08
  presidents. He was an advisor to leaders.
• 19:11
  He held symposium of, you know, leaders, third world leaders.
• 19:16
  He spoke at parliaments of nations.
• 19:19
  And I said this is a representation of a true
• 19:21
  Apostolic grace. He shouldn't just end on the
• 19:23
  pulpit. Some of you are tech giants.
• 19:30
  You've not been able to bring up one app.
• 19:32
  You started it and lazily left it away until someone else
• 19:36
  brought it out. And you say I hope this guy is
• 19:38
  not plagiarizing my work. Unfortunately, ideas are like
• 19:42
  rain. If you don't take them serious,
• 19:44
  the person who believes it more than you will push it forward.
• 19:49
  Applications one time we're having during our workers in the
• 19:53
  US, we talked about something, you know about some applications
• 19:57
  and some four guys just got up there working some of the top,
• 20:00
  you know, big tech companies they said are possible.
• 20:03
  We can come together and we can design something.
• 20:06
  You have the resources in house. One of my greatest blessings is
• 20:12
  not only that I believe in God, I believe in myself.
• 20:15
  There is an energy that comes when you believe in yourself.
• 20:18
  I pray for you. Any voice lying to you that you
• 20:21
  are an entity stopping you from connecting to the right people
• 20:26
  in the name that is above all names.
• 20:28
  I declare that voice is silence over your life.
• 20:36
  Hallelujah. I know someone today who's made
• 20:41
  a lot of money with your God. Your God, they don't have the
• 20:46
  cows, but they have an arrangement with those who have
• 20:49
  the cows and God is using it to bless them.
• 20:52
  Please don't be lazy. Don't be lazy in the name of
• 20:55
  Jesus, don't be lazy. My precious people, some of the
• 20:59
  international people, there's, there's clothes and a lot of
• 21:02
  clothes in Ghana. Where else?
• 21:04
  Again, next time you are coming for Koinonia, don't just come to
• 21:07
  receive. Carry your material and look for
• 21:09
  someone you can come into partnership with, a written
• 21:12
  partnership. This is where some of you who
• 21:14
  are lawyers are there. Don't wait until somebody steals
• 21:17
  before you find a job. No, no, there are many other
• 21:22
  things to do. There are many young children.
• 21:28
  Some of you can set up organizations for autistic

  children and learning for people who are special children.
• 21:36
  We don't have many of that in Nigeria, I tell you.
• 21:38
  And there are many families looking for those structures.
• 21:42
  They will pay even if it's millions.
• 21:46
  There's no home for the elderly. There's hardly homes for the
• 21:49
  elderly in Nigeria who rather the person dies in our home or
• 21:52
  we lose our job abroad because they are busy.
• 21:54
  They have structures like that. I'm speaking to the globe and
• 21:59
  I'm encouraging you. Many people are following.
• 22:02
  Don't bring superstition to this issue of wealth.
• 22:05
  If there's no productivity and there's no strategic networking,
• 22:11
  networking. Listen, body of Christ, we're
• 22:14
  coming into a realm where our wealth will be Commonwealth.
• 22:19
  You know what Commonwealth is? Shout Amen first.
• 22:22
  Now let me explain to you what Commonwealth is.
• 22:24
  The firm is owned by a believer. The tractor is owned by a
• 22:29
  believer. The fertilizer is produced by a
• 22:32
  believer. The cows are managed by
• 22:35
  believers. The dairy managed by believers.
• 22:38
  The transporters managed by believers.
• 22:41
  The exporters managed by believers.
• 22:44
  The legal entities are believers.
• 22:46
  The final consumers are believers.
• 22:49
  It recycles wealth within an ecosystem.
• 22:52
  Study the Middle East. Study some of the finest
• 22:56
  business people across territories.
• 22:59
  It is Commonwealth wealth never goes out of their system.
• 23:03
  But here you carry all the monies and take it far as you
• 23:08
  see now. It's one of the reasons why many
• 23:10
  churches are poor. So the connection comes, but
• 23:14
  every service is provided outside.
• 23:17
  This is not a business meeting. Let me give you the last point
• 23:20
  and pray.
