  Lift your voices and turn it into prayer.
• 0:05
  I receive my light tonight I receive illumination tonight I
• 0:13
  receive light understanding. Go ahead and pray says arise,
• 0:21
  shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is
• 0:25
  risen upon you, that Gentiles will come to your light, and
• 0:29
  their kings to the brightness of your rising.
• 0:34
  Si ka paranto chabrande ke beleke paraka tociata someone.
• 0:41
  Go ahead, receive capacity to be empowered by light.
• 0:47
  Receive the strength. Receive the hearing ear, the
• 0:51
  seeing eye, the receiving heart. Shilemantakrataska de beleke

• 1:01
  Father, tonight we are receivers.
• 1:03
  We come as desperate receivers. Tonight we declare that we are
• 1:09
  receivers in the name of Jesus, with hearts prepared to receive
• 1:15
  yielding fruits. 30 fold. 60 fold. 100 fold.
• 1:22
  Let the entrance of your word give light unto us and let it
• 1:26
  furnish understanding within our hearts, within our spirits.
• 1:34
  Help us walk sennheights tonight by revelation.
• 1:39
  Empower our destiny for the days to come.
• 1:44
  Cause us to be signs and wonders to the glory of your name.
• 1:50
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 1:59
  Tonight I rebuke the spirit of destruction by the power of the
• 2:05
  Holy Spirit. Every gang go by hell to make
• 2:10
  you insensitive to your prophetic word so that it passes
• 2:14
  without your notice. It passes without your
• 2:17
  receiving. I cost that spirit right now.
• 2:23
  You will never say like Jacob, the Lord was in this place and I
• 2:26
  knew not for you. You will know and you will
• 2:29
  maximize the blessedness of his presence in the name of Jesus
• 2:34
  Christ. Please, you may be seated.
• 2:36
  Good evening everybody. Good evening, our global family
• 2:40
  body of Christ. Thank you again for another
• 2:43
  opportunity to learn the ways of God, to be discipled, to be
• 2:47
  taught, to be furnished thoroughly onto every good work
• 2:52
  and the ministry of the Word of God in the life of a believer is
• 2:56
  an ongoing process. It's an ongoing process.
• 3:01
  It's not a one off process. Your access to light, your
• 3:05
  pursuit of light, your pursuit of knowledge is an ongoing
• 3:09
  process. Hallelujah.
• 3:12
  The path of the just, the Bible says is as a shining light.
• 3:17
  Not just a shining path, a shining light.
• 3:20
  And it shined more and more onto the perfect day.
• 3:25
  Hallelujah. So it matters again.
• 3:27
  I remind you that when you come to church, make sure your hunger
• 3:31
  level remains high. Hunger matters is proof of
• 3:36
  spiritual health. When you are healthy physically,
• 3:41
  you go hungry, especially after a day of diligent work.
• 3:46
  You are spent, you are furnished, and you need to be
• 3:49
  refreshed. When people fall sick, among the
• 3:53
  many signs that validate that an individual is sick is the loss
• 3:57
  of appetite. Hallelujah.
• 4:00
  Anything that faults your appetite, your passion to learn
• 4:06
  to receive the word of God is causing an attack to your
• 4:10
  overall spiritual life. I pray for you again tonight in
• 4:14
  Jesus name. What God has prepared for you,
• 4:16
  you will receive in full. Are you shouting in loud?
• 4:20
  Amen. Praise the name of Jesus, right?
• 4:26
  So let me get a few announcements of our way.
• 4:32
  And please listen to all of the announcements.
• 4:34
  They are very important. Almost all of them relate to our
• 4:38
  forthcoming convention. So please pay attention so that
• 4:41
  afterwards we can get to the ministry of the Word.
• 4:47
  Hallelujah 1st is to pray and release a final posters like I
• 4:53
  told us. In fact, I was reminded by the
• 4:55
  leaders again that I did say we'll make that happen today.
• 4:59
  We're still contemplating whether or not to just postpone
• 5:02
  the release of the final the final posters.
• 5:07
  But so that publicity can be ongoing and then it can give
• 5:11
  people room to plan and to prepare.
• 5:14
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 5:16
  And God has been very merciful to us.
• 5:20
  We are happy and honored. And by the mercies of God, we'll
• 5:24
  be having joining us as part of the leaders, our Father and the
• 5:27
  Lord that the Geo will be with us.
• 5:30
  Praise the name of the Lord, Amen and Amen.
• 5:36
  Praise. The mighty name of Jesus,
• 5:43
  Hallelujah. So this is the final formation
• 5:48
  for the speakers. Give glory to the name of Jesus,
• 5:56
  Hallelujah. Praise God.
• 5:59
  So to listen, listen. This is more than a colonial
• 6:04
  convention. Something very generational,
• 6:10
  very generational is going to be happening.
• 6:14
  And so the body of Christ you are invited.
• 6:19
  This is beyond just our global family and we're releasing this
• 6:23
  final poster so that we speak over it.
• 6:26
  It's a profound honor that God has given us.
• 6:30
  You can imagine all the speakers a very is a phenomenal
• 6:36
  collection of men and women who love Jesus.
• 6:40
  And we have pastors, literally churches, ministries, those who
• 6:45
  understand and discern what God is doing.
• 6:48
  And Abuja you are invited, Lagos, you are invited, Kano,
• 6:54
  you are invited everywhere, you are invited your families.
• 6:58
  This is going to be a generational shift.
• 7:01
  Something is happening in the body of Christ, not just in
• 7:05
  Nigeria, but across the African continent.
• 7:09
  So please stretch your hands in one minute over the poster.
• 7:14
  And 1st, thank God for the privilege He's given us to do
• 7:19
  something of a generational implication.
• 7:26
  Give Him praise and thank Him. And then in the name of Jesus,
• 7:29
  I'd like you to speak over the posters that as they are
• 7:36
  released through the airwaves across billboards within this
• 7:40
  city and across this nation, that God by his Spirit will move
• 7:47
  mightily. That everyone who should be at
• 7:52
  that convention would be around to receive, to partake of that
• 7:59
  which God by mercy has given to us and will be given to us.
• 8:05
  Pray that in the name of Jesus, God will open the eyes of the
• 8:09
  body of Christ to see that this is beyond a ministry's
• 8:12
  convention. It is a prophetic convergence of
• 8:19
  a generational magnitude. We give you praise, we give you
• 8:24
  praise, We give you praise. In Jesus name we pray.
• 8:30
  Hallelujah. All right, so here you have it.
• 8:32
  Please let it be everywhere. Spread it across or send
• 8:38
  official invites to everybody. But please, everyone is invited.
• 8:42
  For those again, who are coming outside of this nation because
• 8:48
  of you, you can already imagine, you know, the crowd management
• 8:52
  and the things that we're already dealing with.
• 8:54
  So it's wise to, for those particularly who are coming in
• 9:00
  groups, we have churches sending their leaders, you know, coming
• 9:04
  in groups. Please do well to work with our
• 9:07
  public relations department. They are professionals.
• 9:10
  They have been trained to help guide your stay.
• 9:14
  We do not want people to be victims of scammers and
• 9:18
  opportunist. Hallelujah.
• 9:19
  By God's grace, we've been able to have people sweep around the
• 9:22
  city to get, you know, accommodations at rates that are
• 9:27
  fair enough. And there are people who have
• 9:29
  even offered their spaces, the accommodation and all of that.
• 9:33
  We want to make sure as many people, not just outside of the
• 9:37
  nation, but even within their pastors, literally, it's a week
• 9:40
  of retreat for many people. People are flying down from
• 9:44
  everywhere. Just make sure that you do your
• 9:47
  due diligence, get your accommodations ready, get
• 9:50
  everything ready. Again, to remind you that we're
• 9:54
  using our site. You now see why we have to use
• 9:56
  the site. The only other alternative would
• 9:58
  be the stadium. And we can't have access for
• 10:01
  five days, 9 sessions, you know, from there.
• 10:05
  So we're doing the best. There are all kinds of work
• 10:08
  going on on sites to make sure we're able to accommodate the
• 10:12
  crowd. But this is what God is doing.
• 10:14
  And Koinonia, you are a blessed people.
• 10:18
  You are a very blessed people. We'll never take the
• 10:21
  faithfulness of God for granted. Please be seated in Jesus name.
• 10:25
  So that's the first, that's the final updates on our speakers
• 10:30
  and it runs from Wednesday night, the 19th up until Sunday
• 10:36
  night the 23rd Praise God, Hallelujah.
• 10:41
  Blessed be the name of the Lord for any and all inquiries as it
• 10:46
  concerns the convention. Again, we have our lines
• 10:50
  available. Please, media, if you can, let
• 10:52
  us have the official PR lines just for one last time.
• 10:56
  We'll keep updating this because there are new people connecting
• 10:59
  and there are others who generally need guest services.
• 11:04
  This is particularly for the international guest.
• 11:06
  But for all those who already have our PR line, any line you
• 11:10
  have that connects to the ministry, we're still all the
• 11:13
  same. Serve for the purpose of
• 11:14
  correspondence. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 11:18
  Hallelujah. Now, closely related to this,
• 11:21
  let me just bring the second announcement.
• 11:24
  I did announce that we're going to have a session for our
• 11:28
  children, children here between the ages of 1 to 12.
• 11:33
  Hallelujah, 1:00 to 12:00. We're investing in the life of
• 11:37
  our children, so we have a special session for them on the
• 11:40
  Saturday. Please put up the put up the the
• 11:45
  poster for the children. Let's pray and speak.
• 11:48
  So this right here is for the children would not register them
• 11:54
  from next week, but this is a call for volunteers.
• 11:57
  Hallelujah. We have a special session for
• 11:59
  the children. The theme for their own is
• 12:02
  Christ in me. So we'll be having a wonderful
• 12:04
  time from age 1 to age 12. You're less than one or more
• 12:08
  than 12. You, you, you just wait for
• 12:12
  another time. Praise God.
• 12:15
  But this, this is it, age 1 to 12, praise the Lord.
• 12:19
  So please keep it there. Those who want to volunteer,
• 12:26
  particularly to serve within the protocol and logistics, media,
• 12:33
  welfare and then aesthetics, particularly just for the
• 12:38
  children. This is with respect to those
• 12:40
  who have the grace for children. If you don't have the grace and
• 12:43
  the patience for children, stay away.
• 12:45
  Join the adults. Let's do what God has anointed
• 12:47
  us to do. We don't want anybody harassing
• 12:50
  children and angry just means you don't have the grace.
• 12:52
  So stay away. Allow those who are called
• 12:55
  Hallelujah, but please, we need as many volunteers that will be
• 12:59
  screened, of course, to make sure we have best practices,
• 13:02
  want to make sure that we do the things that we do.
• 13:06
  You at liberty, if you want to do the scanning now, I'll give
• 13:08
  you a minute to do that. And then for those who are
• 13:12
  connected online, please, we want to limit as much as
• 13:14
  possible the volunteers to those within Nigeria.
• 13:18
  The reason is because we're able to follow up and train and do
• 13:21
  whatever we have to do Praise God.
• 13:25
  The registration link for these volunteers will be open from
• 13:29
  tonight up until Wednesday the 8th.
• 13:32
  So it's not going to be indefinite from now until
• 13:35
  Wednesday the 8th. So from to now, from now,
• 13:39
  tonight and up until Wednesday the 8th, you have the liberty to
• 13:44
  register for the children. I think we're working with
• 13:47
  about. I'm not sure we'll be able to
• 13:48
  stretch beyond 1000 children, unfortunately.
• 13:52
  There are so many children, but we can only work with, I think
• 13:56
  about 1000 will get the exact numbers and then by next week
• 14:00
  we'll bring the official QR code.
• 14:02
  All children who will attend have to be registered and you
• 14:06
  know why is part of the norm so that we make sure that we don't
• 14:11
  have any casualties or any security concerns within that
• 14:17
  session. But it will be quite a destiny
• 14:19
  defining one for the children in Jesus name, Amen.
• 14:23
  Are you happy about that? So we bless this, the bill and
• 14:26
  then everything that concerns the session for children #3 very
• 14:31
  quickly we have decided as a ministry to come up with quite
• 14:38
  it's, it's a security response and then also for efficiency
• 14:42
  still related to the convention. So we are creating an, an Uber
• 14:48
  type, an Uber type transport system so that we allow from our
• 14:54
  people. And then across the body of
• 14:56
  Christ, those who are involved in transport, they have their
• 14:59
  cars. We want to be able to bring them
• 15:01
  together to screen them and build a team from them so that
• 15:06
  one, it will empower the people. I, I like to see our people
• 15:10
  empowered even during the conference and then #2 to help
• 15:14
  know that at least there is a surveillance system so that as
• 15:17
  we move people in and out of town, we know that most of the
• 15:21
  people who they are within the radar of the security
• 15:24
  department. Praise God.
• 15:25
  Are you happy about that? And so that will be the third
• 15:28
  announcement. Please.
• 15:28
  Let's have the design for that very quickly put up.
• 15:30
  So for all those who you have your vehicles or you are part of
• 15:35
  you do Bolt, you do Uber and or any other, you know, non
• 15:41
  registered transport, you are involved in it or you have
• 15:44
  persons, you put vehicles for it.
• 15:46
  You are at liberty to register. It's free, there's nothing.
• 15:49
  There's no charge whatsoever. I don't know how many, the quota
• 15:54
  that is allowed. So you have to do that very
• 15:56
  fast. And the idea is that we'll put
• 15:59
  everything together and then it will be on the web page as much
• 16:03
  as it will be with the PR. So that particularly for
• 16:06
  international guests or those who are coming out, we make sure
• 16:10
  that those cars are stationed and then they are able to pick
• 16:14
  people toe and fro. It's going to be a very busy,
• 16:17
  there are 10s of thousands of people coming and movement, want
• 16:21
  to make sure movement is as seamless, particularly at nights
• 16:25
  when we're done. So we don't want our people
• 16:27
  stranded. We are coming in in our own way
• 16:30
  to provide a lot of boss support.
• 16:32
  We're already working on that. But there's only so much.
• 16:35
  When you have so many thousands of people, there's only so much.
• 16:39
  So this is an effort to make mobility seamless.
• 16:44
  Other details will come for those who will need all that
• 16:48
  dedicated or specialized services that have bespoke to
• 16:52
  them. Maybe airport shuttles and the
• 16:54
  rest in the course of our preparation will give that
• 16:58
  announcement from the security department so that you know what
• 17:01
  arrangements have been there or you can reach our public
• 17:04
  relations department. In fact, and there are people
• 17:06
  there are companies already who run this, you know, VIP services
• 17:11
  and that would just direct you so that you are able to maximize
• 17:15
  those opportunities. But this is particularly for the
• 17:19
  Uber boat type. We're building a transport
• 17:23
  community. And so please do cooperate with
• 17:25
  us. Let's make sure that our people
• 17:28
  are safe is part of our way of 1, empowering the people #2
• 17:32
  trying to do the best that we can to ensure security.
• 17:36
  We're a very security compliant ministry, and you cannot imagine
• 17:41
  the level of investment that is going in.
• 17:44
  We're bringing everybody who can come from dogs to men to
• 17:48
  intelligence to drones, everything.
• 17:50
  The horse must be prepared while safety becomes of the Lord.
• 17:54
  So we're doing the very best. Please do cooperate with us for
• 17:57
  those who are interested, please don't register for anyone.
• 18:01
  Let them do it themselves because we need the details and
• 18:05
  where it is. Your company do well to meet the
• 18:08
  security department so that they understand and then they are
• 18:11
  able to guide you. Hallelujah.
• 18:14
  We bless this and we release it. Let it be a blessing to our
• 18:18
  people in Jesus name. Now the final announcement, if
• 18:22
  I'm right on that very quickly, is a call for volunteers.
• 18:27
  We have. So there's so much going on
• 18:30
  already and a few of our departments will need more hands
• 18:33
  coming as volunteers. This extends beyond the Koenonia
• 18:37
  border. So for those who will be
• 18:40
  participating and will want to volunteer in many ways, at least
• 18:45
  for you, a few departments, at least 5, not every department,
• 18:49
  number one, the welfare and hospitality there, they still
• 18:53
  need a lot more hands. There's so many people to feed,
• 18:55
  to take care of. There are things we're doing
• 18:58
  there. So if you're interested, you're
• 18:59
  gifted. Not just interested, gifted.
• 19:01
  Take note, you are gifted and graced in that area.
• 19:05
  Shortly AQR code will be shown. Now when I'm done listing every
• 19:10
  of the volunteers, now this QR code will encompass all the
• 19:14
  departments I'm listing. So it doesn't matter what
• 19:16
  department, it's a central QR code that will take you there.
• 19:21
  So first is welfare and hospitality #2 protocol and
• 19:26
  logistics. Our protocol officers are
• 19:28
  limited with respect to the crowd that is already registered
• 19:33
  and coming and so we need some more hands.
• 19:36
  So those of you who want to be part of the volunteer team for
• 19:41
  protocol and logistics here in house and those who are
• 19:44
  connected online, who will be available on site, please, you
• 19:47
  are most welcome. We have a few people already
• 19:49
  from our global expressions who are coming, so they would
• 19:52
  naturally blend in #3 security, security.
• 19:57
  We need more hands. We're going to have a lot of
• 19:58
  outsource services from the military to DSS to civil
• 20:03
  defence, the police and all of that.
• 20:05
  But we still need more hands for so many things, from crowd
• 20:09
  control to surveillance and all of that.
• 20:12
  So please, if you want to be part of the volunteers for the
• 20:16
  security department, please go ahead.
• 20:19
  And the QR code will take you where you'd be.
• 20:23
  You zoom you down. To whatever department and then
• 20:26
  finally, OK, well second to the last are Oshas, are Oshas.
• 20:31
  We have a lot of Oshas, but with respect again to the convention,
• 20:36
  we need as many hands. So for many of you who want to
• 20:40
  participate as Osher's, join the Oshering team, here's your
• 20:44
  chance to serve the Lord. That includes those who are
• 20:47
  flying in from across this nation and probably the nations
• 20:52
  of the earth. Once you'll be around and you're
• 20:54
  willing to walk and submit to the modus operandi of the
• 20:58
  various departments, you're most welcome.
• 21:00
  Finally, our medical team. We need a lot of professional
• 21:04
  hands. In fact, we're still considering
• 21:08
  if it's possible and it will not interrupt the conference.
• 21:11
  Perhaps like we always do, we may dedicate some time to see
• 21:15
  that we just make a little medical contribution, maybe
• 21:18
  drugs treatment. We always do that, but that's
• 21:21
  still on the table. But we need a lot of medical
• 21:25
  team. You must be a licensed
• 21:28
  practitioner, whether a doctor, lab scientist, anything around a
• 21:33
  pharmacist, anything around the medical practice.
• 21:37
  So this one is not just desire, you have to be qualified and
• 21:41
  licensed. Praise the name of the Lord for
• 21:43
  those who are available and you're interested.
• 21:45
  Some have hospitals, some have doctors, lots of doctors, lots
• 21:50
  of nurses, and all who want to play this role, please do well
• 21:55
  to scan the QR code. Thereafter, you'll be required
• 21:59
  to meet with the head of medicals.
• 22:01
  And we have a team of consultants.
• 22:04
  Some of them are coming as always.
• 22:05
  And so we work together to have a very robust team so that we do
• 22:10
  the best. We want to make sure that for
• 22:12
  any and all medical issues, we have a team that is strong
• 22:17
  enough to be able to have that. So let me repeat one more time.
• 22:21
  Volunteers Welfare and hospitality #2 Protocol and
• 22:27
  logistics #3 Security number four, Osha's OSHA ring team 5,
• 22:33
  the medical team. So any one of you who wants to
• 22:36
  be part of this, please scan the QR code.
• 22:38
  It takes you immediately to a page through a link where you'll
• 22:42
  be directed on what to do from there.
• 22:45
  Hallelujah. Are you happy about what God is
• 22:48
  doing now? Everybody the This is a personal
• 22:53
  announcement now that I want to bring by God's grace, maybe from
• 22:58
  next week or week after the the billboards will be up with the
• 23:04
  publicity materials for the convention and we're going to be
• 23:08
  doing a few states beyond Abuja because it's a global
• 23:11
  conference. So here's the call for all those
• 23:16
  who will want to put the maybe one or two billboards in your
• 23:22
  city or in your area. You want to do that as a seed,
• 23:28
  whether here or I know we're doing it a few states here,
• 23:32
  Lagos here, Abuja, Jos and then you know some others and then
• 23:38
  hopefully we'll do UK and you know, just one or two other
• 23:42
  places. So for all those who want to
• 23:44
  participate in getting the billboards up, maybe in your
• 23:49
  city or in your area, you have the permission, however would
• 23:55
  request that you reach a media team just to let them know that
• 24:01
  this is what you want to do. And then they'll give you the go
• 24:05
  ahead so that you can work with the local people within your
• 24:08
  city. And then to put the Billboard,
• 24:10
  we have a standard. It has to be these posters that
• 24:15
  have been officially released and then #3 must be done
• 24:18
  excellently. And then we don't want a
• 24:21
  situation where, you know, anything goes wrong.
• 24:23
  So please, you can meet the media team or you can meet some.
• 24:27
  Well, I asked you to meet some. Well, for those of you who are
• 24:30
  here so that after the service, you can tell him this is what
• 24:33
  you want to do. But within the town Abuja, here
• 24:37
  by God's grace, we're already having things on ground for the
• 24:41
  bills to be up maybe by next week marks or week after.
• 24:45
  Then we have the bills of whilst we pray.
• 24:48
  But then all those who have the grace for social media, here's
• 24:54
  your chance. Instead of sending nonsense,
• 24:57
  send this to the body of Christ, particularly if you've ever sent
• 25:03
  or written rubbish. This is your chance again to
• 25:07
  makes make something useful with the energy, the time and all of
• 25:12
  that. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 25:13
  So those who have bloggers, what they call them.
• 25:20
  So you go ahead put it so that someone will come to Jesus as a
• 25:25
  result of this. It's going to be a great one.
• 25:27
  We give God glory and please remain in prayer.
• 25:31
  This is beyond planning. The greatest way to plan is
• 25:34
  prayer. You can be sure that Satan will
• 25:37
  not fold his arms and just watch souls, multitudes come to Jesus
• 25:41
  and lives get transformed. So we'll keep praying.
• 25:44
  By God's grace. I told you, 2 weeks before the
• 25:46
  time we declare our fast, we'll be fasting for two weeks as a
• 25:51
  global family preparing for that time.
• 25:54
  So make sure we announce that in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 26:01
  All right, so let's pray for tonight.
• 26:03
  Go ahead and lift your hands, lift your voices, and ask the
• 26:06
  Lord to give you an encounter. Declare your preparedness of
• 26:16
  heart in prayer. Jesus, speak to me.
• 26:23
  Show me the way, the way out of misery, the path that leads to
• 26:28
  victory. Someone is praying across the
• 26:35
  airwaves, someone is praying. Celantos sapratika parando
• 26:41
  zigetesh. Blessed be the name of the Lord,
• 26:50
  Glory to Jesus. In Jesus name we pray
• 26:57
  Hallelujah. Tonight's teaching is a product
• 27:01
  of deep contemplation, both spiritually and philosophically.
• 27:10
  Tonight's teaching, really it came from a personal
• 27:15
  contemplation. I just had some time to sit down
• 27:19
  and think not just about my life, but about everything from
• 27:24
  failure to victory and, you know, intimacy with God to
• 27:37
  spiritual decline and everything in between.
• 27:40
  I thought to myself, taking an inventory of my own life and
• 27:45
  then looking at the horizon of a global family and the body of
• 27:49
  Christ, and it really was quickened in my spirit.
• 27:53
  The Lord placed his burden again to help God's people tonight
• 27:58
  understand you know how to program divine possibilities.
• 28:04
  Tonight's teaching is going to be a thought provoking one.
• 28:08
  Again, for many it's going to be a reminder, but for others it's
• 28:13
  going to come with fresh light, fresh power, and fresh
• 28:17
  insistence from God. It's going to provoke you to
• 28:22
  godliness, get you angry with status quo, angry with where you
• 28:27
  are, and literally to push you to the next season of your life.
• 28:33
  Hallelujah. I titled tonight's teaching
• 28:35
  victorious by choice, Victorious by choice, and please, I want
• 28:45
  you to listen. Victorious by choice, I'll be
• 28:50
  showing you how to design an enviable destiny, how to program
• 28:57
  divine, supernatural, limitless possibilities in your life, how
• 29:03
  to be and to remain a sign and a wonder, how to maximize the
• 29:08
  riches of God's grace that's been invested in your life.
• 29:13
  And I pray that God will help us in Jesus name.
• 29:15
  Deuteronomy chapter 30. We begin our reading from verse
• 29:18
  15. Victorious by choice Deuteronomy
• 29:26
  chapter 30 and then we'll begin our reading from verse 15 will
• 29:30
  end AT20CI have set before you this day life and good and death
• 29:37
  and evil in that I command thee this day to love the Lord your
• 29:42
  God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his
• 29:46
  status and his judgments that thou mayest leave and multiply.
• 29:51
  Notice what follows that thou mayest leave and multiply and
• 29:56
  the Lord thy God shalt bless thee in the land wither thou
• 29:59
  goest to possess it. Verse 17 But if thine hand turn
• 30:03
  away thy heart turn away, so that thou will not hear, but be
• 30:09
  drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them. 18I
• 30:16
  denounce unto you this day that ye shall surely perish, and that
• 30:21
  ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, we that thou pass
• 30:26
  it over the Jordan to go and possess it.
• 30:28
  Verse 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
• 30:34
  that I have set before you life and death.
• 30:39
  I have set before you blessing and cursing.
• 30:42
  Therefore choose life that both thou and your seed may leave.
• 30:48
  Notice the implication of choosing you and your seed, that
• 30:53
  thou mayest. Verse 20 that thou mayest love
• 30:57
  the Lord your God, and that thou mayest observe, obey his voice,
• 31:03
  and that thou mayest cleave unto him, for he is thy life and the
• 31:10
  length of days that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord
• 31:15
  sway unto your father's, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to
• 31:19
  give them the Lord bless the reading of his word in the
• 31:23
  mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ.
• 31:25
  Shout Amen like you are ready to learn.
• 31:29
  Hallelujah. So the Bible says in Proverbs
• 31:32
  chapter 4 and verse 18, speaking about the just, it tells us many
• 31:37
  things about the just one who is in Christ that the path of the
• 31:42
  just is as a shining light that shines more and more onto the
• 31:49
  perfect day. Growth and advancement and
• 31:53
  increase is a fundamental part of life.
• 31:56
  Let me begin from there. Everywhere we see growth,
• 32:00
  everywhere we see increase, everywhere we see advancement,
• 32:04
  it calls for joy. It calls for celebration.
• 32:07
  Whether a young boy graduating from school or someone getting a
• 32:13
  job or receiving promotion, anything at all that centers
• 32:19
  around growth, centers around increase, centers around
• 32:22
  advancement, and in fact, centers around victory.
• 32:26
  It calls for joy and rejoicing. There are times that you see
• 32:30
  celebrations in a place and you find people who are not even
• 32:33
  connected to the family celebrating, rejoicing with
• 32:36
  them. Because every time you see
• 32:38
  people rejoicing, dancing, making merry, it, it, it, it's,
• 32:44
  it's therapeutic to see people rejoice, to see people record
• 32:48
  milestones in their lives. Are we together?
• 32:50
  If you're passing and you see students graduating or you're
• 32:53
  moving around and you see a couple celebrating weddings or
• 32:56
  anniversaries, or you know any kind of that represents growth,
• 33:01
  victory, advancement, and success.
• 33:04
  It calls for rejoicing. It's a fundamental part of life.
• 33:08
  And I wrote here, in fact, it is the major reason, not the only
• 33:13
  reason, but the major reason for success, happiness and
• 33:18
  fulfillment is growth. Increase advancement and
• 33:23
  victory. I don't know anyone who is
• 33:26
  indefinitely rejoicing, happy, feeling, you know, very
• 33:31
  satisfied and fulfilled. And upon probing why he's that
• 33:36
  excited, he would not mention anything related to growth or
• 33:41
  related to success or related to victory and triumph or related
• 33:45
  to advancement. There will always be something,
• 33:48
  even if it's growth in the knowledge of Jesus.
• 33:52
  Are we together? You hear people testify here.
• 33:55
  Why do we pay rapt, undivided attention as they testify?
• 33:58
  Because we know that no matter how sad the story is, we already
• 34:02
  know that the end of that story is joy.
• 34:04
  The end of that story is victory.
• 34:06
  Am I right on that? The end of that story is
• 34:09
  triumph. So they begin the story, usually
• 34:12
  by, you know, somewhere the saddest part of the whole
• 34:15
  episode, this one happened. I was diagnosed of cancer, Say I
• 34:19
  was diagnosed of this, you know, and for a moment you are kept in
• 34:22
  that suspense like listening or watching a movie.
• 34:25
  But you are comforted that the fact that the person stood here
• 34:28
  is sign that whatever the situation is.
• 34:31
  And you know, sometimes they depart the explanation as they
• 34:36
  they drive your mind through the depth of what they went through
• 34:39
  you. You are already anticipating to
• 34:41
  see how the victory happened. Every time we encounter growth,
• 34:47
  we encounter success, we encounter victory or triumph.
• 34:52
  We encounter advancement, whether spiritually,
• 34:55
  financially, you know, materially and otherwise.
• 34:59
  It calls for joy, it calls for excitement, and in truth, it is
• 35:03
  one of the basis for our happiness, our comfort and our
• 35:07
  fulfillment. Hallelujah.
• 35:12
  We all desire growth and advancement, I wrote here.
• 35:16
  It's a fact that some will not openly embrace, others may live
• 35:21
  in the denial of it, others are a lot more vocal about the
• 35:25
  appreciation and their desire for growth.
• 35:28
  But the truth is that from a spiritual and a psychological
• 35:32
  standpoint, we all desire growth and advancement.
• 35:37
  When a man of God, the experiences increase
• 35:40
  spiritually, he's happy. When his church grows, he's
• 35:43
  happy. For every week I come and I find
• 35:46
  you here and thousands of others following around the world, I am
• 35:49
  happy. And courage as a man of God.
• 35:52
  When a business grows, they are happy.
• 35:54
  When parents, you know, see their children rise and become
• 35:58
  great, they are happy. So we all desire growth and we
• 36:02
  all desire advancement. Hallelujah.
• 36:06
  Now with respect to growth, desire and achievement, I think
• 36:09
  if I'm right on that, they said there are three kinds of people
• 36:12
  on earth. Number one, there are those who
• 36:15
  make things happen. There are those who make things
• 36:19
  happen. They literally hold the wheels
• 36:22
  of their destiny and work in partnership with God.
• 36:25
  For those who are believers to engineer a great and a
• 36:28
  victorious destiny, there are those who make things happen #2
• 36:32
  there are those who watch things happen.
• 36:36
  They largely are victims of circumstances and situations.
• 36:40
  They do not know that life works based on the law of cause and
• 36:43
  effect. They do not know that life works
• 36:46
  based on the law of sea, time and harvest, and so they just
• 36:49
  watch things happen to them and to others, whether good or bad.
• 36:54
  If they are fortunate and it happens well, they rejoice.
• 36:57
  If it's unfortunate for them, then they just weep, not knowing
• 37:00
  that they have a role to play in determining their possibilities,
• 37:04
  the outcomes of their destinies. All wise, there are those who
• 37:08
  watch things happen #3 there are those who talk about the things
• 37:13
  that happen and are happening. These ones are largely
• 37:17
  commentators in life and destiny.
• 37:19
  Unfortunately, whether good or bad, they watch with admiration
• 37:23
  and they largely comment. If it works fine for others,
• 37:27
  they talk about it. If it works bad for others, they
• 37:29
  talk about it. Three groups, those who make
• 37:32
  things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who
• 37:37
  talk about the things that are happening.
• 37:45
  And in in discussing the subject of victory, and I've studied
• 37:49
  this subject myself from a biblical standpoint.
• 37:53
  I have seen a number of factors and I've done many teachings
• 37:57
  along that line that victory is a programming.
• 38:01
  If you still recall, I've taught you in this House, nobody truly
• 38:05
  becomes victorious in experience by luck.
• 38:09
  Nobody truly becomes victorious inexperienced by chance.
• 38:14
  Nobody truly becomes victorious inexperienced by sentiments.
• 38:20
  And so to the one who truly desires to attain Kingdom
• 38:24
  victory, it's important already tonight, even before we delve
• 38:28
  into the core of our discussions, that you have it at
• 38:30
  the back of your mind that the outcomes of your life now and
• 38:35
  later, you have to be willing to take responsibility over your
• 38:39
  life. And to know that victory, the
• 38:43
  manifestation of it, is not a matter of luck.
• 38:47
  It's not a matter of chance, and it's not a matter of sentiments.
• 38:52
  Hallelujah. We live in a world where it's
• 38:55
  very, very usual, very human, very natural to want to attract
• 38:59
  sympathy by blaming others, blaming governments, blaming
• 39:03
  institutions, blaming parents, blaming every other person, even
• 39:08
  blaming successful people as to the reason why we are where we
• 39:12
  are. So when you ask the average
• 39:15
  person why are you the way you are spiritually, financially and
• 39:19
  so on and so forth, it is very usual for men to point their
• 39:23
  hands and say it was because of my background, it was because of
• 39:26
  my father or my mother or the government.
• 39:30
  And there may be elements of truth in what they are saying.
• 39:32
  But from the things you'll be learning tonight, in addition to
• 39:35
  all you've learnt in this House, I'm calling you again to a place
• 39:38
  of responsibility. That a great destiny is
• 39:42
  programmable. That a man one can work in
• 39:45
  partnership with the resources that have been given by God to
• 39:48
  program limitless possibilities, divine possibilities.
• 39:52
  To design A life that brings glory to God.
• 39:55
  To design A life that is an enviable 1A life that inspires
• 40:00
  you, inspires a generation, ultimately drawing many to
• 40:04
  Jesus. If I just describe your destiny
• 40:06
  from this night, shout Amen, Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 40:11
  the Lord. Now there is a divine gift that
• 40:14
  God gave every man on earth and I have contemplated on this
• 40:18
  even, you know, over the recent hours and I am.
• 40:22
  The more I grow in the knowledge of God and I think the more I
• 40:25
  grow in leadership and the more God helps me to get results in
• 40:29
  my own life. I am literally overwhelmed at
• 40:34
  the power of divine laws, the power of divine principles, and
• 40:41
  their ability to purchase limitless realities to those who
• 40:45
  believe and can engage with understanding and by faith.
• 40:50
  I want to zoom down on a very fundamental factor that
• 40:55
  determines the outcomes of our lives.
• 40:58
  Now there are many. I have given you a plethora of
• 41:00
  factors and keys that weave themselves to help any believer
• 41:07
  to become victorious. But as the Lord quicken in my
• 41:10
  heart and As for my contemplations, I just felt
• 41:13
  scared to zoom down on one of it and drum it again to bring
• 41:17
  believers to a heightened consciousness.
• 41:19
  So there is a divine gift that God gave every man on earth.
• 41:25
  With that gift, truly many have built enviable destinies.
• 41:31
  With that gift, many have destroyed their lives.
• 41:34
  Knowingly or unknowingly. Great men of God have risen
• 41:39
  across the body of Christ. Because of that gift, terrible
• 41:44
  people in society have emerged. Because of that gift, families
• 41:49
  today are a reflection of heaven.
• 41:51
  Because of that gift, there are families today who are in a
• 41:55
  pathetic state. Courtesy that gift, there are
• 41:59
  lives who are on their way to glorifying Jesus because of the
• 42:03
  excellence and and the dexterity that is captured in such lives.
• 42:07
  And there are lives today that are a total disaster on their
• 42:12
  way to happening all because of that one gift.
• 42:18
  Others have ruined their lives and they have become failures.
• 42:21
  Others who came from all kinds of backgrounds have reprogrammed
• 42:25
  their possibilities. They've turned the tides to
• 42:27
  their favor. The correct use of this gift can
• 42:31
  mean your exit from a life of misery.
• 42:34
  Listen, please. A life of failure, a life of
• 42:37
  defeat. The correct use of this gift,
• 42:41
  believe me, it can mean your exit.
• 42:43
  You can literally wave a sad yesterday and today.
• 42:47
  Goodbye. You can wave a sad history
• 42:50
  goodbye. You can wave any kind of
• 42:52
  limitation, a painful past. Whatever it is, it doesn't
• 42:56
  matter in what form or in what fashion, this gift can give you
• 43:00
  the authorization to waive a life of mediocrity and defeat
• 43:04
  and pain Goodbye. It can also give you the
• 43:07
  authorization to move into a realm of limitless possibilities
• 43:12
  where your life becomes a song, A song that gives people joy and
• 43:17
  brings glory to the name of the Lord.
• 43:20
  Hallelujah. Your mismanagement of this gift
• 43:25
  can mean you're continuing in defeat.
• 43:30
  Your faithful stewardship of this gift can mean you're
• 43:34
  carving out your path to greatness.
• 43:38
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 43:41
  I contemplated about this and it it it drummed into my spirit as
• 43:46
  if I've never known about it. It's called the power to choose.
• 43:52
  The power to choose. Please pay attention.
• 43:56
  Void yourself of any distraction.
• 43:58
  The power to choose. We read already from Deuteronomy
• 44:03
  3020 to I mean 15 to 20. Maybe I should add one more
• 44:11
  scripture and then I begin to establish a few things.
• 44:14
  Joshua chapter 24. We read 14 and 15.
• 44:20
  Very popular scripture. Joshua 2414 and 15 Now therefore
• 44:26
  fear the Lord, he says, and serve him in sincerity and in
• 44:31
  truth, and put away the gods which your Father served on the
• 44:34
  other side of the floor, and in Egypt, and serve ye the Lord.
• 44:40
  Verse 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
• 44:45
  choose you this day whom you will serve, whether it be the
• 44:49
  God of your father's, the fathers that your father served
• 44:52
  that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the
• 44:56
  Amorites, in whose land ye dwell.
• 44:59
  It says, But As for me, someone say it.
• 45:01
  Say As for me like your cereal, Say, As for me and my house, we
• 45:08
  will serve the Lord. Again, prophetically, say us for
• 45:12
  me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
• 45:16
  Shout it very seriously with holy anger.
• 45:19
  Say us for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
• 45:26
  Hallelujah, I've taught you in this house, Koinonia.
• 45:29
  And please listen, Body of Christ, that beyond your
• 45:33
  conditions, your decisions, even more than your conditions,
• 45:38
  ultimately determines the outcome of your life.
• 45:41
  Now, the truth is that conditions, unfortunately can
• 45:46
  tell. It can put a dent on your
• 45:48
  destiny. If you have a negative
• 45:51
  condition, most times it can have an effect on you.
• 45:55
  But I've discovered in studying Scripture and in learning from
• 45:58
  minds that have made impact, especially the Kingdom's way,
• 46:03
  that your decisions more than your conditions determine
• 46:08
  ultimately, are we together the outcomes of your destiny?
• 46:13
  That means a man who has a negative condition, a condition
• 46:17
  that should by default lead to failure, lead to defeat, lead to
• 46:21
  spiritual decline. If that man understands the
• 46:25
  power of quality, ward compliant decisions, that person is able
• 46:30
  to veto that unfavorable condition and eventually emerge
• 46:37
  and build a destiny that brings glory to the Lord.
• 46:40
  Your decisions, more than your conditions, decide the quality
• 46:44
  of your life. I learned this from Doctor
• 46:47
  Murdoch many years ago that decisions decide destiny.
• 46:52
  It is true, it is true. Sounds very childish, Sounds
• 46:56
  like rhetorics, just sounds like a play of words.
• 46:59
  But the the power in these words will only be understood as you
• 47:03
  grow. Decisions decide destiny.
• 47:09
  God can wield for you a destiny of beauty and grace and glory
• 47:14
  and color, and in truth He does. Jeremiah 2911 I know the
• 47:19
  thoughts that I think towards you, said the Lord.
• 47:21
  They are thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you
• 47:25
  unexpected end. God desires a great life.
• 47:29
  John 1010 I am come that ye may have life, and that you have
• 47:33
  that life more abundantly. So in in the mind of God,
• 47:38
  everyone of us, you and I, as a global family, as individuals,
• 47:43
  as a community, as a nation, as a continent, in God's
• 47:47
  preordination, He's designed for us a life of grace, a life of
• 47:52
  glory, a life of dignity, a life of beauty, a life of color.
• 47:57
  But now whether you will step into the reality of prophecy is
• 48:01
  not just dependent on the will of God.
• 48:04
  It's dependent, among many other factors, on your power to
• 48:08
  choose. If God says yes and you say no,
• 48:14
  he will respect you. Or no.
• 48:18
  Are we together? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 48:26
  Decisions decide destiny. I've also taught you in this
• 48:30
  house that every decision, good or bad, is connected to a
• 48:35
  consequence. The word consequence simply
• 48:38
  means a corresponding outcome. You may want to write that if
• 48:42
  you're interested. The word consequence means a
• 48:45
  corresponding outcome so that every decision in life, in
• 48:50
  destiny, spiritually, financially, maritally,
• 48:54
  educationally, and otherwise is connected to a consequence.
• 48:59
  Now you are given the power to choose, but you do not choose
• 49:03
  the consequences that follow. Every decision by default is
• 49:08
  connected to a consequence. Are we together?
• 49:12
  Now you cannot say I want to choose this, I want to make this
• 49:16
  choice, but this is the consequence I want.
• 49:19
  Unfortunately, no. The decisions themselves decide
• 49:23
  the consequences that follow. One of the ways you are trained
• 49:27
  to choose wisely is to examine, either through the lens of
• 49:31
  experience or the lens of the world, the consequences
• 49:35
  connected to every decision. This is one of the powerful
• 49:38
  things with the Word of God. It is not only a capture of
• 49:43
  promises. The Bible is not just a
• 49:45
  compendium of promises. It is a compendium of
• 49:48
  corresponding consequences. Most people focus on the
• 49:52
  promises Are we together? But they do not know that the
• 49:56
  Bible is also a rich capture of consequences, that if you decide
• 50:03
  to go left, God will respect it. But with going left, there are
• 50:08
  corresponding consequences, and that they have an implication on
• 50:12
  your life and they have an implication on your children.
• 50:15
  If you decide to go right, there are consequences either ways.
• 50:20
  If you decide to be spiritually vibrant, there are consequences.
• 50:24
  You decide to pray, there are consequences.
• 50:27
  You decide to be prayerless, there are consequences.
• 50:31
  You decide to be a giver, there are consequences.
• 50:34
  Are we together? If you decide to be diligent,
• 50:37
  there are consequences. You decide to be a crook.
• 50:40
  There are consequences. And let me tell you the truth,
• 50:44
  some of those consequences are not immediately of yours.
• 50:48
  Now this is what beguiles people to downplay the power of
• 50:53
  choices, because for most of the decisions, the consequences are
• 50:58
  not immediate. Most of the choices, the
• 51:02
  consequences are not immediate. If you put your hand in fire,
• 51:07
  the consequences immediate. You feel it immediately, and so
• 51:10
  you withdraw your hand. Are we together?
• 51:12
  You put your hand over cold eyes, you feel it immediately.
• 51:16
  But there are certain consequences that may take
• 51:19
  months, may take years, may even take decades.
• 51:24
  But as surely as the Lord leaves, there are consequences.
• 51:30
  And if not intercepted by the mercy of God or and not that
• 51:34
  choice, those consequences will follow you.
• 51:36
  I'm sad to say this, and I hate to say, but I have to.
• 51:39
  There are people today in old age.
• 51:42
  Their trouble did not start when they were old.
• 51:44
  The entire days their old age was spent receiving consequences
• 51:50
  like loads. And just when they're trying to
• 51:53
  manage one another one comes and they say, where did this come
• 51:56
  from? Oh, it's a final parcel called
• 51:59
  your consequence arriving from 25 years ago of your decisions
• 52:05
  finally landed. Unfortunately landed and is
• 52:08
  resting on an old man. Many people go to their graves
• 52:12
  today in regret. There are some who live smiling.
• 52:16
  I've seen a few who transited smiling knowing that they made
• 52:20
  wise choices, even if not all through their days, that their
• 52:24
  final moments were full of wise choices.
• 52:27
  But there are others who left in pain.
• 52:29
  You could feel the energy of pain and regret wishing if they
• 52:34
  could go back, back again and make that decision.
• 52:37
  Ladies and gentlemen, victory is by choice, life is by choice, a
• 52:44
  great destiny is by choice, Failure is also by choice.
• 52:50
  It's very uncomfortable to admit this because sometimes you hear
• 52:53
  people say life is not fair and they mean because of their
• 52:57
  condition and in many regards they are right.
• 53:00
  But unfortunately, everyone is presented with a reality that
• 53:05
  has nothing to do with you. But from the time you are aware
• 53:08
  of that reality, what you make out of it now becomes your
• 53:12
  issue. It may not be your fault that
• 53:14
  you were born from an irresponsible family,
• 53:17
  unfortunately, and with all due respect, by an irresponsible man
• 53:21
  or an irresponsible woman. It may not be your fault that
• 53:24
  you were born and dedicated to idols carrying courses and
• 53:28
  yokes. It may not be your fault that
• 53:30
  you were a child of a traditional worshipper.
• 53:32
  It may not be your fault. But from the day you have access
• 53:36
  to the gospel, everything that becomes of your destiny is your
• 53:40
  choice. Yes, Sir, it's your choice.
• 53:44
  It's your choice. It's your choice.
• 53:48
  Listening to Doctor Miles Monroe, blessed memory.
• 53:53
  You hear him say humorously that he grew up in a family where
• 53:56
  they would literally lie down on the ground as they slept.
• 53:59
  I hope I'm right on that. And they literally would be able
• 54:02
  to see the stars from their room because there were holes
• 54:05
  everywhere. Sad for them.
• 54:07
  If it rained, all of them had to be compressed.
• 54:10
  Literally you know how you put sardines and just put it there.
• 54:14
  But right there he made a choice.
• 54:16
  I like this. He made a choice at my life for
• 54:19
  someone who came here to church tonight and I'm telling you God
• 54:23
  is giving you an opportunity again.
• 54:26
  And he said my brother make the choice and make it fast.
• 54:29
  My sister make the choice. The same energy takes to choose
• 54:34
  is the same energy takes to market regret.
• 54:38
  You can spend your life wasting your energy marketing regret, or
• 54:43
  you can convert that energy to power to say from this day
• 54:47
  forward I make a choice. I made a statement one time
• 54:50
  speaking here and I said it ends with me.
• 54:52
  See. Remember, someone shouted
• 54:54
  already in advance. Say it ends with me.
• 54:56
  Everything that makes for pain and shame and disgrace ends with
• 55:00
  me. Everything that makes for defeat
• 55:02
  in the name of Jesus ends with me.
• 55:04
  Everything that is transgenerational in His context
• 55:07
  destroying me and has potential to destroy your children and
• 55:11
  your children's children. Are you still praying?
• 55:13
  Say it ends with me. Spiritual laxity ends with me.
• 55:18
  Carelessness over destiny ends with me.
• 55:20
  Poverty I'm begging and lying and stealing and manipulating
• 55:24
  ends with me compromising ministry because of financial
• 55:28
  issues. Say it ends with me telling
• 55:32
  lies, manipulating your age because you have to remain in
• 55:36
  the in the labor market or job market.
• 55:38
  It ends with me everything that makes for compromise someone
• 55:42
  angry and of his brain in the name of Jesus.
• 55:45
  The curses that make men die before their time ends with me.
• 55:49
  The curses that make women die before their time ends with me.
• 55:53
  The spirit that splits up marriages ends with me that
• 55:56
  makes children to be a beehive of rebels.
• 56:00
  Rebels that cause pain to parents.
• 56:02
  It ends with me. Someone say in the name of
• 56:05
  Jesus, say I choose from this day the path of victory.
• 56:12
  Say the name of Jesus I choose as an act of my will.
• 56:17
  From this day to be great, from this day to be anointed, from
• 56:24
  this day to live in victory. Please be seated, Please be
• 56:30
  seated, Please be seated. I choose from this day.
• 56:36
  I take advantage of this gift, the gift of the will that God
• 56:41
  has given me. I can redefine my possibilities.
• 56:44
  I can program endless divine, supernatural, or inspiring
• 56:49
  possibilities. Hallelujah.
• 57:01
  So decisions decide destiny. What does it mean to choose?
• 57:11
  To choose means to conclude by engaging your will on the path
• 57:19
  to follow. After examining all the options
• 57:23
  that are available, to choose means to conclude by engaging
• 57:28
  your will on the path to follow. After examining all the options
• 57:35
  or the variables that are available, I'll say that again.
• 57:39
  To choose means to conclude on the path to follow.
• 57:44
  After examining all the options and all the variables available,
• 57:51
  and also examining the outcomes connected to other choices, to
• 57:58
  choose means to conclude, to conclude on a path to follow.
• 58:05
  After examining #1 all the variables and options there and
• 58:10
  then after examining #2 the consequences connected to every
• 58:16
  other option. When we say you are making a
• 58:23
  decision or you are choosing, it suggests that number one, you
• 58:28
  should be aware of all the options that are available and
• 58:33
  also aware of the consequences connected to every option.
• 58:37
  Please look up. Are you seeing that most people
• 58:41
  the reason why their choices are very foolish is because they do
• 58:45
  not take time to examine consequences?
• 58:49
  Don't just examine the choices available, examine the
• 58:54
  consequences. Hallelujah.
• 58:58
  Praise the name of the Lord. Many times when I'm travelling,
• 59:02
  especially if it's a far journey, I I do my best as much
• 59:06
  as possible that morning, except maybe in the air, just to munch
• 59:10
  on something or eat. But I do my best to make sure
• 59:14
  that as much as possible, I don't dump a lot of food as I'm
• 59:18
  travelling because I'm going to be trapped in that box for
• 59:20
  hours. Praise God and sometimes imagine
• 59:24
  that you want to travel for 12/14 hours and you eat
• 59:27
  something that can run or turn your stomach.
• 59:29
  Now while you were eating it, you had the power to eat.
• 59:31
  The realm of the Spirit did not stop you.
• 59:33
  You eat it. If it's soup, go on, if you
• 59:35
  swallow, go on. If it's water, go ahead.
• 59:37
  You can't even drink a Jerry kind of water.
• 59:39
  But the one thing you cannot stop is the moment you swallow,
• 59:44
  you are done. That's your own part there.
• 59:46
  The digestive system and your body as programmed by God takes
• 59:49
  it over from there. Who is learning consequence?
• 59:53
  And many times in a very unexpected way.
• 59:58
  You can be sitting quietly and your stomach starts to rumble
• 1:00:01
  and now you're wondering what do I do with myself?
• 1:00:04
  Imagine you and you're a board meeting and that board meeting
• 1:00:06
  will last for four hours. But simply, I mean a
• 1:00:09
  high-powered meeting. But simply because of something
• 1:00:12
  you ate you have to take excuses multiple times and sound like a
• 1:00:17
  non serious person. You see that?
• 1:00:23
  Let me tell you this, most times people undermine the power of
• 1:00:26
  consequences is the reason why they are careless with choices.
• 1:00:30
  Now I'll tell you this, I'll give you a second definition.
• 1:00:32
  Then I'll tell you something about choices.
• 1:00:37
  Ready to choose means to use your will and determine the next
• 1:00:51
  cause of your day or your destiny.
• 1:01:00
  To choose means to use your will and to determine the next cause
• 1:01:05
  of your day. In fact, let me put it your life
• 1:01:08
  or your destiny to determine, using the power of your will to
• 1:01:14
  determine the next cause of your day, of your life, or generally
• 1:01:20
  Speaking, of your destiny. Now there are two kinds of
• 1:01:26
  decisions. Essentially.
• 1:01:28
  There are those we call major decisions and minor decisions.
• 1:01:33
  Write that down please, just for classification.
• 1:01:36
  There are major decisions. What are major decisions?
• 1:01:40
  These are decisions that have a macro effect, a destiny defining
• 1:01:46
  effect. What I'm wearing right now, I
• 1:01:51
  would have won any other thing else.
• 1:01:53
  And quite honestly, doesn't have so much effect per SE.
• 1:01:56
  Are we together? Yes, I can wear something that
• 1:02:00
  is a lot more convenient, wear another color, wear whatever.
• 1:02:03
  That does not change much in terms of redefining my destiny.
• 1:02:07
  Are we together? Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  So there are negative. I mean, there are major
• 1:02:13
  decisions. Are we together?
• 1:02:15
  And there are minor decisions. Everybody say minor decisions,
• 1:02:20
  yes, but there are major decisions.
• 1:02:23
  And let me tell you this ladies and gentlemen, if you do not
• 1:02:28
  know how, the surprising thing is that the minor decisions you
• 1:02:32
  keep making eventually add up and become major decisions.
• 1:02:37
  There are times you need to make a one time major decision but
• 1:02:42
  your everyday minor decisions, they keep adding up, they build
• 1:02:46
  momentum and they equal to a major decision.
• 1:02:51
  The person who is God forbid a non robber robbing a bank.
• 1:02:56
  I can tell you robbing a bank was not his first robbery.
• 1:03:00
  That was not his first decision. He made a choice one day maybe
• 1:03:03
  to steal meat in the pot and he went Scott free.
• 1:03:07
  Are we together now? If you have 50 pieces of meat
• 1:03:10
  and you still want it, doesn't really change the dynamics of
• 1:03:12
  the soup, but you are still a thief in the making.
• 1:03:15
  Now he's looking at the pot. What is left?
• 1:03:18
  He's not seeing what he's becoming.
• 1:03:20
  That is a thief graduating. Then he begins to bully one
• 1:03:25
  another in school and still are you seeing now until you Fast
• 1:03:29
  forward a decade later, That person has become a territorial
• 1:03:33
  thief, has people under him. He may be some Capone somewhere.
• 1:03:38
  You see how it grows. Nobody becomes great, whether on
• 1:03:41
  the negative or the positive. The first side, Hallelujah.
• 1:03:50
  You have to be aware of every other option available alongside
• 1:03:54
  the consequences connected to every option.
• 1:03:56
  Please listen. I told you here that decisions
• 1:04:00
  and choices are pathways. Still, remember that decisions
• 1:04:04
  are pathways. You may want to write that down.
• 1:04:06
  Pathways. PATHWAYS.
• 1:04:10
  They are pathways. Every decision leads somewhere.
• 1:04:14
  Every decision leads somewhere. The decision to hate God leads a
• 1:04:19
  man somewhere. The decision to love Jesus leads
• 1:04:22
  a man somewhere. The decision to be an
• 1:04:25
  irresponsible man, father, husband, will lead you and your
• 1:04:28
  family somewhere. The decision to be responsible,
• 1:04:32
  valuing, integrity, equity, responsibility will lead a man
• 1:04:36
  somewhere. Are we together?
• 1:04:37
  The decision to mismanage your finances will lead you
• 1:04:41
  somewhere. The decision to be frugal, wise,
• 1:04:44
  accountable and futuristic in your plan will lead you
• 1:04:49
  somewhere. The decision to contend for
• 1:04:52
  knowledge and to be diligent will lead you somewhere.
• 1:04:55
  The decision to celebrate ignorance and mediocrity will
• 1:04:59
  lead you somewhere. Decisions are pathways.
• 1:05:02
  The decision to fast and pray build capacity leads you
• 1:05:06
  somewhere. The decision to be very careless
• 1:05:09
  spiritually leads you somewhere. The decision to join an occult
• 1:05:14
  group as a young man because you are looking for money leads you
• 1:05:17
  somewhere. The decision to say no to evil
• 1:05:20
  leads you somewhere. Every decision Joseph made led
• 1:05:24
  him somewhere. The decision Solomon made led
• 1:05:27
  him somewhere. The decisions David made led him
• 1:05:30
  somewhere. Am I right on that?
• 1:05:35
  No decision is neutral. Write that down.
• 1:05:38
  No decision, no choice is of a neutral effect.
• 1:05:46
  No decision is neutral. Every decision carries a measure
• 1:05:51
  of consequences. Some consequences are
• 1:05:54
  immediately obvious and very telling on your life.
• 1:05:58
  But some consequences are prolonged, victorious by choice.
• 1:06:12
  All decisions lead somewhere. Now there's something I've
• 1:06:17
  learnt in life and I'm I wrote something here and I want you to
• 1:06:19
  listen. Prolonged indecision is giving
• 1:06:25
  life permission to choose for you.
• 1:06:30
  Prolonged indecision is giving life permission to choose for
• 1:06:36
  you. I said before you life and
• 1:06:42
  death, but if you refuse to choose, eventually life will
• 1:06:47
  make the choice and most times unfortunately if you are live,
• 1:06:51
  live to choose for you. It will be like choosing
• 1:06:53
  whatever grows in the garden and it will most likely be weed.
• 1:06:58
  Prolonged indecision is giving life permission to choose for
• 1:07:03
  you. Is you telling life anything you
• 1:07:06
  choose? I'm fine with it.
• 1:07:08
  Someone shall God forbid failing life.
• 1:07:12
  Anything you choose for my children, I'm fine with it.
• 1:07:16
  Anything you choose for my destiny, I'm fine with it.
• 1:07:21
  If it's failure, I'm fine with it.
• 1:07:23
  If it's a beggarly life, I'm fine with it.
• 1:07:25
  Again, shall God forbid. Or you see indecision one day
• 1:07:31
  connected to procrastination. You know what procrastination
• 1:07:35
  is? Not respecting the time
• 1:07:39
  component in making decisions. Indecision is giving life
• 1:07:53
  permission to make any choice for you.
• 1:07:56
  I know, goodness, how does Satan like that opportunity?
• 1:07:59
  He will cash in on it and manipulate life to give you an
• 1:08:02
  outcome you're not prepared for. You're not prepared for.
• 1:08:07
  I'm praying for someone already in the name of Jesus and this is
• 1:08:10
  a voice of mercy coming to you where you folded your arms and
• 1:08:14
  you allowed the wheels of your life.
• 1:08:16
  Imagine someone who is about to drive, say from here to Maitama,
• 1:08:20
  for instance, or to any other part of Abuja and the person
• 1:08:24
  puts his car on and it's not an electric car, it's not
• 1:08:26
  programmed. You just put your car and then
• 1:08:28
  you begin to fire and with your hands on your head, maybe using
• 1:08:32
  the hand to eat something and you're on your way going.
• 1:08:34
  Most likely without prophesying, you will not arrive.
• 1:08:40
  Are we together? Because most parts require
• 1:08:44
  discipline. It's slim enough for you to
• 1:08:48
  pass, but it's not. It's not wide enough for you to
• 1:08:51
  just allow the car to freelance left and right.
• 1:08:54
  And how many of you know that the faster you are driving, the
• 1:08:57
  more you have to pay attention to the wheels?
• 1:09:00
  Because any mistake can wear you off and you will die.
• 1:09:04
  I pray for you where you've allowed life to make nasty
• 1:09:08
  choices that has been self sabotaging in the name of Jesus.
• 1:09:13
  May Mercy speak for you now. Shout it like you're receiving
• 1:09:17
  message. Speak for you now.
• 1:09:23
  Please be seated. Please be seated.
• 1:09:29
  Prolonged indecision is giving life or giving circumstances
• 1:09:35
  permission to choose for you. One time.
• 1:09:44
  Most times. I have a lot of things that I
• 1:09:46
  write. I just get inspired by the
• 1:09:50
  Spirit and I begin to write things.
• 1:09:51
  Sometimes they are translated to sermons or thus I leave them for
• 1:09:55
  the future. But one of the things I wrote,
• 1:09:57
  and I think I've read it here, I thought to bring it into this
• 1:10:01
  teaching again. Please write.
• 1:10:04
  The real value of wisdom is in its ability to help you make
• 1:10:09
  superior destiny, advancing decisions.
• 1:10:13
  Please write the real value. This came from one of my
• 1:10:16
  contemplations and I penned it down and I decided to import it.
• 1:10:22
  The real value of wisdom I wrote is not just in saying you are a
• 1:10:27
  wise man. It's not just in making your
• 1:10:30
  face to shine. The real value of wisdom in the
• 1:10:34
  life of a person is in its ability to help you make
• 1:10:38
  superior destiny advancing decisions.
• 1:10:44
  Don't tell me you are wise. Let me see the quality of your
• 1:10:49
  decisions and the outcomes that follow.
• 1:10:52
  There are many people who believe they are wise.
• 1:10:55
  They will find anybody who says you are foolish.
• 1:10:58
  But the decisions are not adding up.
• 1:11:00
  Let me tell you the truth. The real proof that a man is
• 1:11:03
  wise is not when you carry a wise name is not when you carry
• 1:11:07
  a person of wisdom is that wisdom helps you to make
• 1:11:13
  superior destiny advancing decisions.
• 1:11:18
  Please look up how many of you know that everyone here in
• 1:11:22
  church today had something else to do with their time.
• 1:11:25
  Am I right on that? Some of you left a lot of
• 1:11:27
  inconveniences. You left a lot of things.
• 1:11:30
  There's a pile of legitimate work, but because you place
• 1:11:34
  value on what you're going to be learning for this time here, and
• 1:11:38
  you have seen its usefulness, are we together?
• 1:11:41
  In transiting you to an exceptional individual, You
• 1:11:45
  decided to pause. Not ignore, but pause those
• 1:11:49
  activities and make this meaningful investment in your
• 1:11:52
  destiny. It is wisdom.
• 1:11:55
  Nobody sits to listen like this, and then you are.
• 1:11:59
  No, no, no, it has to be wisdom. Have you seen something that
• 1:12:05
  changed your life? Maybe a book, a message, and you
• 1:12:08
  transfer it to someone and watch the person trivialize it.
• 1:12:11
  Has it happened to you? And you can see the pain in your
• 1:12:14
  heart. You are saying, I'm showing you
• 1:12:16
  something that changed my life and I'm saying listen to it.
• 1:12:21
  It's happened to me a few times where people come maybe looking
• 1:12:24
  for something, some need or oppression, and I tell them I'm
• 1:12:27
  going to recommend a few messages for you and I'm
• 1:12:29
  listening two or three. And you know, they can't
• 1:12:31
  remember. They are not writing it.
• 1:12:33
  They are not interested. They just look with joy and say
• 1:12:37
  OK, I know they will not do it. And the person just turns back
• 1:12:41
  and maybe 2-3 weeks, one month later, the person is back again.
• 1:12:44
  So things have not changed. Of course things have not
• 1:12:47
  changed. Nothing changes by default.
• 1:12:50
  Change is engineered by a new decision.
• 1:12:53
  An old decision, even if in ignorance, is what has kept you
• 1:12:57
  there. Listen, tonight is a night to
• 1:12:59
  take responsibility. That a demon spirit hijacked his
• 1:13:02
  power to choose. But who made the choice?
• 1:13:05
  Ultimately him. He had the power to say no.
• 1:13:08
  I reject that thought. And that would have been it.
• 1:13:11
  But he entertained the thought. He incubated the thought.
• 1:13:15
  Are we together? Until the thought was so mighty
• 1:13:18
  and it overwhelmed his mind. Then he acted on the thought.
• 1:13:22
  He went to his father and said, father, I'm tired of looking
• 1:13:25
  like a child, give me what is due me and I need to leave your
• 1:13:28
  house. The father says OK, I respect
• 1:13:30
  you, go ahead. Divided it and gave him.
• 1:13:34
  Next thing you know, what happened, He lived riotously
• 1:13:39
  again by choice. The friends, he had the power to
• 1:13:43
  tell them no. He was obviously richer than
• 1:13:45
  them, better than them, more influential than them.
• 1:13:48
  He would have said no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:13:50
  I'm going to live my life. But these demonic things
• 1:13:53
  manipulate their choices. Now look up, please.
• 1:13:56
  The spirit of poverty. I give you an example.
• 1:13:59
  Most people think poverty is just something that makes you to
• 1:14:02
  not get a job. No, it is the spirit of poverty
• 1:14:05
  that makes you to behave in a rude way that draws your
• 1:14:08
  destiny. Help us away.
• 1:14:10
  You see, that insult and that anger is still the spirit of
• 1:14:13
  poverty. So the person who should help
• 1:14:15
  you, you talk to them and say I'm save my mind.
• 1:14:18
  The letter is. Oh, yeah.
• 1:14:19
  Sorry, person. No, it's too late.
• 1:14:20
  The door is closed. Ingratitude is still one
• 1:14:26
  expression of the spirit of poverty.
• 1:14:28
  So any opportunity to bless you, to help you to change your life,
• 1:14:33
  who is learning now what you call generational causes happen
• 1:14:37
  because they they make generational decisions.
• 1:14:41
  Those spirits make individuals to keep making the same
• 1:14:44
  generational decisions. Father decided to hate God, Son
• 1:14:50
  decides to hate God. Now that's how that course
• 1:14:53
  progress progresses. Are we together?
• 1:14:55
  Father decides to be on serious when his colleagues are reading,
• 1:15:00
  attending seminars, his plane draft outside.
• 1:15:03
  I'm making all kinds of I know my child will be a great person.
• 1:15:06
  Unfortunately, he ends up becoming a failure.
• 1:15:09
  Is someone learning now? Well, as other people, even
• 1:15:14
  though they were not educated, they told themselves, I will not
• 1:15:17
  leave my children begging. I will go and become say
• 1:15:20
  security man somewhere or become whatever it is.
• 1:15:23
  And from there they met a rich man who God later used to lift
• 1:15:28
  them. But another man will say I, I
• 1:15:30
  know things will not work out. One day I've given birth to a
• 1:15:32
  child. He will take care of me.
• 1:15:34
  The man who is speaking is 35 and he's already believing that
• 1:15:38
  his destiny, the the joy of his destiny, will come from a child
• 1:15:43
  and punish that child. He's already programmed evil
• 1:15:46
  over that child. By the time that child is an
• 1:15:48
  adult, he cannot live his life with his own family.
• 1:15:51
  He must pay the price. Is someone learning now?
• 1:16:05
  I remember many years ago we used to get people feeling the
• 1:16:08
  Holy Spirit and there's a gentleman one time who made a
• 1:16:13
  sarcastic statement. He says those tongues give him
• 1:16:16
  money. You know, he just feels that I
• 1:16:20
  need money now, that's all. This one getting filled.
• 1:16:24
  The Holy Spirit, I need something.
• 1:16:25
  I can give him money now. Remember, I looked at him very
• 1:16:29
  politely and sincerely. I hope the guy is still alive.
• 1:16:40
  You know how the blessing works. It does not just empower your
• 1:16:44
  destiny, it empowers you to make pro destiny decisions when the
• 1:16:50
  blessing is at work. It manipulates you to manifest
• 1:16:55
  character, to manifest a life that makes you and makes people
• 1:17:00
  endear to you. Respect is a manifestation of
• 1:17:03
  the blessing. Wisdom, knowing what to say,
• 1:17:06
  knowing how to behave yourself in the presence of greatness.
• 1:17:10
  This is how it works. So in Africa, let me tell you
• 1:17:13
  this, and I say this as one who ministers to people in Africa
• 1:17:17
  and some of you who are here listening and maybe listening
• 1:17:19
  online. If I tell you right now,
• 1:17:22
  everybody mentioned the name of the idol in your village.
• 1:17:25
  Somebody said thank you, Jesus. I've been waiting for apostle to
• 1:17:27
  say this. Somebody who mentioned off
• 1:17:30
  hearts, you already know them. Let's bind and cast the idols.
• 1:17:35
  We begin to pray. Even if it's a night vigil, you
• 1:17:37
  will stay. But if I tell you that the way
• 1:17:41
  Satan has brought failure to your family is not just by the
• 1:17:45
  strength of that idol is that it gain access to your decision
• 1:17:49
  making ability. Are we together now your
• 1:17:52
  decision making ability? I once spoke with the lady and
• 1:17:57
  the lady said I possibly if I, if I show you my phone and I
• 1:18:01
  tell you the kind of great people I have access to, but
• 1:18:04
  nobody wants to help me. I said I know what is wrong.
• 1:18:08
  I know what is wrong while you are thinking generational causes
• 1:18:12
  and I agree with you from my speaking with her just for a few
• 1:18:15
  minutes, I said I can assess 1. You have anger problem.
• 1:18:18
  Yes, yes I have anger problem. I said you see it now you have
• 1:18:22
  anger problem. That's how the spirit is
• 1:18:23
  working. He said no guy can even tell me.
• 1:18:26
  I said you are joking. Which guy wants that kind of
• 1:18:28
  liability? Are you getting what I'm saying
• 1:18:32
  now? Doesn't mean the person is bad.
• 1:18:37
  I'm saying spirits manipulate your ability to choose because
• 1:18:41
  without choosing there is no motion.
• 1:18:44
  Decisions are the tires of destiny.
• 1:18:47
  Your destiny moves at the frequency of your decisions.
• 1:18:51
  What your tire is to your vehicle, that's what decisions
• 1:18:55
  are to your destiny. Listen again.
• 1:18:57
  What your tires are to your vehicle, that's what decisions
• 1:19:00
  are to your destiny. When you see a car that is
• 1:19:03
  parked is because it's not been ignited.
• 1:19:06
  The gear system has not been engaged.
• 1:19:08
  That's how you are. If you are parked in one place,
• 1:19:11
  you're not moving forward, you're not using backward.
• 1:19:14
  It means you are not making choices, but for as long as you
• 1:19:17
  are decided you are either going up or going down.
• 1:19:21
  I forbid you from going down. Some of you have been on reverse
• 1:19:26
  gear for forever. You are worst off every year.
• 1:19:30
  2024 is better than 20/25/2023, better than 20/24/2022, better
• 1:19:36
  than 2023. It shouldn't be.
• 1:19:38
  In the name of Jesus, I pray for you, the Spirit that has
• 1:19:42
  manipulated your power to choose and keeps drawing you backward.
• 1:19:46
  One step forward and 10 steps backward.
• 1:19:49
  I caused that influence. Now everybody say it again.
• 1:19:55
  Say in the name of Jesus I choose a life of greatness.
• 1:20:01
  Say I choose a life of victory. Say I choose a life of
• 1:20:07
  excellence. Please sit.
• 1:20:13
  Even if you don't know the way out, the day you now begin to
• 1:20:17
  choose that things will be different.
• 1:20:20
  That day things will really change.
• 1:20:24
  Enchantments, curses, walk. By manipulating your power to
• 1:20:29
  decide. I want you to believe this.
• 1:20:32
  Believe this. If I told you today that the
• 1:20:44
  reason why you have not attained that level you desire
• 1:20:47
  spiritually is because something about your decisions have pegged
• 1:20:51
  your growth, Do you have the sense of responsibility to
• 1:20:56
  believe it? If I told you today that the
• 1:21:00
  reason why financially things may not be all right with you
• 1:21:03
  and your family, regardless how emotionally connected you are to
• 1:21:07
  your pain, that ultimately it is your decision, do you have the
• 1:21:11
  courage to believe it? If I told you, dear man of God,
• 1:21:16
  that the reason why things may not be working in ministry, the
• 1:21:19
  reason why the kind of Kingdom influence you desire may not yet
• 1:21:23
  be manifesting, is simply because your choices and your
• 1:21:27
  decisions have not matched that level of result, The question
• 1:21:31
  is, do you have the courage to take responsibility tonight?
• 1:21:36
  Tonight's teaching is for people who have the courage to say, you
• 1:21:39
  know what? I'm not going to be ashamed.
• 1:21:42
  This salmon is painful, but it is true.
• 1:21:49
  There are many Nigerians, and I say this with all due respect,
• 1:21:56
  I'm not a politician, but there are many Nigerians.
• 1:21:59
  It doesn't matter who and what is in power, even if another
• 1:22:03
  nation comes to take over Nigeria, they will still be
• 1:22:05
  poor, they will still be miserable because the problem
• 1:22:09
  comes from their decisions. They only hide under the guides
• 1:22:13
  of national issues. But they've not corrected their
• 1:22:16
  minds. Are we together?
• 1:22:22
  There are fathers today who do not care whether the school fees
• 1:22:26
  of their children have been paid or not.
• 1:22:28
  They are alive, they don't care. They see other children and know
• 1:22:33
  that they do. They have the children.
• 1:22:35
  But to think as we are my children now, none of his
• 1:22:38
  business decisions. Are we together?
• 1:22:51
  While you find others going to the library or going to buy
• 1:22:55
  books and tapes, someone will be praying and say, Father, please
• 1:23:00
  give me an Android phone. Give me this phone just so that
• 1:23:03
  I can have access to teaching some quality materials that
• 1:23:08
  build my spirit. Another person is praying for
• 1:23:10
  clothes and hair and shoe decisions.
• 1:23:16
  Decisions are who is letting decisions.
• 1:23:22
  For many years I've told you in this house by the message of
• 1:23:25
  God, and he may not apply that way to everybody.
• 1:23:28
  The Lord gave an instruction and said don't worry about building
• 1:23:33
  structures, focus on building men.
• 1:23:36
  If you build men, eventually you'll be able to build
• 1:23:40
  structures. You can have buildings that will
• 1:23:42
  later be empty because you did not raise men.
• 1:23:45
  Focus on raising men. For many, many years in this
• 1:23:49
  ministry, we didn't do conferences, convention.
• 1:23:52
  I'm not, I'm not saying anything is wrong if you're doing such.
• 1:23:55
  I'm just saying it was a pattern that was given the resources.
• 1:23:58
  Were there decisions today, by the message of God, we're able
• 1:24:03
  to do the things we do with integrity because we're reaping
• 1:24:06
  a harvest of those decisions. Are we together now?
• 1:24:10
  Yes. Honestly, I tell you, there were
• 1:24:13
  times as a person when God started blessing me.
• 1:24:17
  I had the opportunity to go anywhere around the world, blow
• 1:24:20
  up the money on vacations, tell lies on the Internet.
• 1:24:23
  And so far later, I said no Sir, no Sir, nobody comes out of you
• 1:24:29
  cannot go forward and then go backward.
• 1:24:32
  I said no, even if it's not for my sake.
• 1:24:35
  Decisions, it's not superstition.
• 1:24:38
  Decisions are are we together financially?
• 1:24:44
  There are people today their salaries not up to 500,000, but
• 1:24:49
  their lifestyle is 3,000,000 per month.
• 1:24:51
  Decisions. Hello, don't keep quiet or don't
• 1:24:54
  keep quiet. Be awake, be awake and be alive
• 1:24:57
  Decisions 500,000 Your salary for your over bloated
• 1:25:03
  exaggerated lifestyle 3,000,000 naira And you know what because
• 1:25:08
  nobody has access to your bank account.
• 1:25:10
  The impression you have given is that you are a millionaire.
• 1:25:14
  So when they come and ask you for money you borrow to give
• 1:25:17
  because you don't have it. But you have given an an
• 1:25:20
  impression. You live in a house where you
• 1:25:23
  are paying 10 million naira rent and you have heart attack almost
• 1:25:27
  every month. People driving cars that are not
• 1:25:36
  yet their level decisions, living in areas that are not yet
• 1:25:39
  their level decisions. And sometimes, as we teach
• 1:25:43
  faith, most people do not understand the balance between
• 1:25:47
  faith and wisdom. I told you victory is an
• 1:25:50
  equation. That is a healthy combination of
• 1:25:53
  faith, wisdom, and power. Say that after me, faith,
• 1:25:57
  wisdom, and power. One more time.
• 1:26:00
  Faith, wisdom and power. It is faith.
• 1:26:04
  In fact, wisdom first. Really Wisdom plus faith plus
• 1:26:08
  power. That is equal to result.
• 1:26:10
  If you remove any of those variables, it will not be
• 1:26:14
  Kingdom victory. Remove power and you find out
• 1:26:17
  there's a problem. Remove wisdom.
• 1:26:19
  Faith cannot even come. Remove faith.
• 1:26:22
  Wisdom standing alone is powerful, but it needs to be in
• 1:26:25
  partnership with faith. It is wisdom, faith and power.
• 1:26:33
  Hallelujah. We said these things jokingly,
• 1:26:37
  decisions. A man whose wife gets pregnant,
• 1:26:41
  giving him nine months notice. The guy acts as if he's not
• 1:26:44
  aware she's pregnant. Then one day it came so soon.
• 1:26:49
  What kind of is a careless statement is that?
• 1:26:52
  And now say, OK, look, Madam, and he's CS.
• 1:26:54
  He said I didn't plan for CS God showed me and you know sometimes
• 1:26:58
  we add spirituality to the instead of us to repent and even
• 1:27:02
  be broken. God told me to be seamless.
• 1:27:05
  The woman is about to die and you rather live out there to die
• 1:27:09
  massaging your ego. You'll be surprised how many men
• 1:27:18
  today ask them how do you plan to raise your children.
• 1:27:21
  You know what they'll say. I believe the God who sent
• 1:27:24
  Ravens, you know, to Elijah and you know we manipulate scripture
• 1:27:28
  and make a mockery of ourselves. You have a school fees of 1.2
• 1:27:33
  million naira. How are you going to get it?
• 1:27:35
  How are you going to pay the school fees of your children
• 1:27:37
  now? I'm not I'm not being hard on
• 1:27:39
  you for no reason. The man who said well I know God
• 1:27:42
  did it the other time God showed him mercy and he cried on
• 1:27:46
  someone for the sake of the children help and he did not
• 1:27:49
  learn the lesson. One year after he said the same
• 1:27:51
  God who did it again. And this is how Nigerians think.
• 1:27:54
  We are very superstitious in our way.
• 1:28:01
  He that desires to build a house and does not sit down to count
• 1:28:07
  the cost whether he has enough to finish is someone learning.
• 1:28:15
  Colonia is quiet. Decisions God refused to you
• 1:28:28
  that something dangerous is about to happen.
• 1:28:31
  You don't take responsibility and pray over it and avert it.
• 1:28:35
  You just say, I know apostle is praying for us.
• 1:28:37
  Apostle said he's praying for us.
• 1:28:39
  And you lie down and don't hold on to the wheels of your destiny
• 1:28:43
  until disaster strikes and say, ah, but I saw this.
• 1:28:46
  Or you saw it, but what did you do about it?
• 1:28:49
  You did not engage your will to change.
• 1:28:51
  It is someone learning what I'm saying?
• 1:28:52
  Now, listen, this is a call to put your life in order.
• 1:28:57
  Things will not change by default, My brother and my
• 1:29:00
  sister. Now, I don't mean to condemn
• 1:29:02
  you. I'm going to show you the way
• 1:29:03
  out. But you must make up your mind
• 1:29:07
  that from this day forward, I'm going to live a life of
• 1:29:10
  excellence, a life of dignity, a life of victory.
• 1:29:15
  No matter what you do, if you do not edit the basis of your
• 1:29:20
  making choices, you will see recycle pain.
• 1:29:24
  Some of you left Lagos and came to Abuja.
• 1:29:27
  The same trouble in Lagos followed you here.
• 1:29:29
  You know why? Because the same mindset making
• 1:29:31
  the decisions followed you here. Some will leave and go to
• 1:29:35
  America, go to UK, everywhere the troubles just follows them
• 1:29:39
  there because the trouble is engineered by the same decision.
• 1:29:43
  Decision for tonight. Let this be the night where
• 1:29:46
  things change in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:29:50
  Some of you have decided that you will allow people manipulate
• 1:29:54
  you and not take your responsibility over your
• 1:29:57
  destiny. You can be a child of God today.
• 1:30:00
  Next moment you are found among a lot of unbelievers, not
• 1:30:03
  preaching, not being wise, not being diplomatic and draw in the
• 1:30:07
  atmosphere and say it does not matter.
• 1:30:08
  We were classmates when we're in primary school.
• 1:30:12
  Are we together in a preacher? You are saying oh God, wouldn't
• 1:30:16
  you give me increase in ministry?
• 1:30:17
  Question. How many sermons have you worked
• 1:30:20
  on? Can you preach 2 to 5 sermons
• 1:30:22
  every week and by 2-3 years you are still not exhausted?
• 1:30:26
  Do you have it? If the answer is no, why do you
• 1:30:29
  want God to give you a generation to mentor, to build?
• 1:30:33
  You want to destroy them? Hallelujah.
• 1:30:42
  One day many years ago, I was praying for someone true story.
• 1:30:48
  And the person was contending for a position with another
• 1:30:51
  person. And he prayed.
• 1:30:53
  He said he knew that that was his position.
• 1:30:55
  So fortunately he he brought some information about the other
• 1:30:59
  person contending and he said I should pray true story.
• 1:31:02
  And I looked at it and, you know, a little like a rundown of
• 1:31:06
  their resume was there. And in all fairness, I saw that
• 1:31:10
  the other person was by far more qualified than him.
• 1:31:13
  I said, but but look at this man's qualification and
• 1:31:16
  pedigree. He said it doesn't matter.
• 1:31:17
  I just know. I said no, no, no, I'm not.
• 1:31:19
  I don't pray foolishly. It will be better for our nation
• 1:31:23
  if this guy gets to that position.
• 1:31:27
  Yeah. Are we together now the guys
• 1:31:31
  bring you are bringing somebody who is by far qualified than you
• 1:31:35
  and you want me to use your that's that's a Balaam
• 1:31:38
  dimension. Now you want to manipulate the
• 1:31:39
  person to still prophecy. What should I say now this guy
• 1:31:43
  was reading he was giving his best going for seminars, going
• 1:31:47
  for courses. You were there wasting away.
• 1:31:49
  Now that you have an opportunity after doing everything.
• 1:31:53
  What if the man and you are in the same program?
• 1:31:55
  We are ministering and I say May God lift you and two of you say
• 1:31:59
  Amen. You see how believers do a lot
• 1:32:05
  of foolish things sometimes. Decisions, decisions question,
• 1:32:15
  have you chosen to succeed or do you just desire it?
• 1:32:20
  Have you chosen to be a very godly person or do you just
• 1:32:24
  decide? Have you chosen to not be a
• 1:32:28
  failure? Or do you just hate failure?
• 1:32:31
  I hope you know hating failure is different from choosing to be
• 1:32:35
  a success. You can hate failure.
• 1:32:38
  You can detest it, honestly. And yet you find out that your
• 1:32:42
  life becomes a perpetual, you know, a road map of a failure.
• 1:32:48
  Hating it is not enough. You must make that choice.
• 1:32:52
  Your decisions. Hallelujah, Let me tell you
• 1:32:58
  three ways. Three ways to make superior
• 1:33:02
  choices. Write that quickly.
• 1:33:04
  Three ways. Shamako Saprandiga Balakosiata
• 1:33:10
  Three ways to make superior choices.
• 1:33:14
  Are you ready #1 In order to make superior choices, the first
• 1:33:22
  thing you need is an awareness. Listen, an awareness of the word
• 1:33:28
  of God. What the Word of God says
• 1:33:33
  promises a vast You need an awareness of the word of God.
• 1:33:37
  I'm going to read it for you, but I just want to get the idea.
• 1:33:40
  An awareness of what the Word of God says.
• 1:33:44
  Access to wisdom by the word. That's how I wrote it there.
• 1:33:48
  You need access to wisdom by the Word, an awareness of what the
• 1:33:55
  Word of God proposes for you, else you cannot make quality
• 1:33:59
  choices. Access to wisdom by the word of
• 1:34:03
  God is someone writing access to wisdom by the Word of God.
• 1:34:10
  That's the first thing you need, an awareness of what is there
• 1:34:13
  for you? I call them exceeding great and
• 1:34:16
  precious promises. If you don't know the superior
• 1:34:19
  alternative God has given you, you will.
• 1:34:21
  You will dance to everything around you.
• 1:34:24
  Do you know, for instance, that God has exalted you?
• 1:34:28
  Do you know, for instance, that God has a destiny of beauty and
• 1:34:32
  glory for you? Jeremiah 2911.
• 1:34:34
  Do you know that the Bible says the path of the justice has a
• 1:34:38
  shining light that shine it more and more onto the perfect day?
• 1:34:42
  Do you know, according to Scripture, that do your
• 1:34:44
  beginning be small, that your latter end should greatly
• 1:34:47
  increase? Do you know that you are being
• 1:34:50
  called out of every tribe and every tongue and every nation,
• 1:34:54
  that the limitations from your territory don't have to become
• 1:34:57
  your limitations again? Do you know that you can compose
• 1:35:02
  it to the throne of grace, that you may obtain mercy and grace?
• 1:35:06
  Find grace to help in time of need?
• 1:35:09
  Do you know if you don't have knowledge, you cannot make
• 1:35:15
  superior decisions? Wisdom, Access to wisdom by the
• 1:35:21
  word of God is the first key if you want to make superior
• 1:35:25
  decisions. And when I say wisdom by the
• 1:35:27
  word of God, I'm not just limiting it to Scripture
• 1:35:30
  directly alone. I'm also talking of access to
• 1:35:33
  knowledge from Word compliant materials.
• 1:35:37
  Maybe you may want to write that down.
• 1:35:39
  Access to wisdom, first by the Word of God and then from Word
• 1:35:45
  compliant materials. There are books, there are
• 1:35:50
  tapes, there are videos, there are teachings that are a
• 1:35:55
  distilling of wisdom. I was listening to God servant
• 1:36:04
  Bishop David Oedeko as he gave a rundown of the things he had
• 1:36:10
  learned as he celebrated his 71st birthday.
• 1:36:13
  And I mean, it was an unveiling of superior wisdom for me.
• 1:36:18
  As I was listening, I was just thinking to myself, praying that
• 1:36:22
  everybody who was hearing that great father of faith was
• 1:36:25
  actually paying attention to the things he was saying.
• 1:36:30
  Because, you know, sometimes you can be around and just shout and
• 1:36:32
  say Amen and not be getting anything.
• 1:36:35
  Priceless. Valuable lessons.
• 1:36:38
  He Atlanta at 71. I received it with prayer.
• 1:36:46
  Thank you for the leverage of granting me access to a 71 year
• 1:36:52
  old wisdom so that by the time I'm 71 I would have doubled or
• 1:36:57
  tripled my progress. Is someone learning now?
• 1:37:04
  You cannot make a destiny defining decision wallowing
• 1:37:10
  among gossips and failures and small minded people and people
• 1:37:16
  who don't respect God. They don't respect success, they
• 1:37:19
  don't respect successful people. They downplay on sacrifices you.
• 1:37:24
  Any decision derived from that mold will always be sabotaging.
• 1:37:33
  Is someone learning You have given me a destiny and a purpose
• 1:37:42
  to fulfill So wait all I am, every breath in me.
• 1:37:49
  I'll spend my life to see You have given me a destiny and a
• 1:37:58
  purpose to fulfill. So wait, all I am, every breath
• 1:38:05
  in me spend my life to see. This song is a declaration of
• 1:38:13
  your power to choose, but it started by saying you have given
• 1:38:18
  me. I am aware.
• 1:38:19
  I have found from Scripture, Ephesians 1 and verse three,
• 1:38:25
  that you've made all blessings available for me, spiritual
• 1:38:32
  blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
• 1:38:35
  And so I use my will, my power to choose in partnership with
• 1:38:41
  the Word of God, in partnership with what compliant materials,
• 1:38:46
  in partnership with the Holy Spirit to make pro destiny
• 1:38:50
  choices. Being prayerful is a pro destiny
• 1:38:55
  choice. Being disciplined is a pro
• 1:38:59
  destiny choice. Being godly is a pro destiny
• 1:39:03
  choice. Are we together?
• 1:39:04
  Being compassionate is a pro destiny choice.
• 1:39:08
  Being diligent, hard working if you want to call it, is a pro
• 1:39:12
  destiny choice. Being persistent is a pro
• 1:39:16
  destiny choice. Learning given to continuous
• 1:39:20
  learning, never plateauing in life is a pro destiny choice.
• 1:39:25
  Being lazy is a destiny sabotaging choice.
• 1:39:30
  Been very loud when you have not arrived.
• 1:39:34
  Living a fake life, a false life that that's that's you fighting
• 1:39:39
  your destiny, hanging around people who are going nowhere.
• 1:39:46
  I remind you of a statement that I made that if there are 5
• 1:39:49
  foolish people around you, you didn't count.
• 1:39:52
  Well, there are 6 people. You are the 6th if there are
• 1:39:56
  five wise people around you. You also didn't count.
• 1:39:59
  Well, there are 6. You will be in the sixth.
• 1:40:02
  You will be a merciless average of the people around you.
• 1:40:06
  It's true. You want greatness and you hang
• 1:40:12
  around people who hate God, hate God's people, hate victory, hate
• 1:40:17
  discipline, hate knowledge, hate diligence.
• 1:40:20
  No, Sir, you are not going anywhere.
• 1:40:23
  I don't have to prophecy. You don't need any cause in your
• 1:40:25
  life. Show me a man, no matter how
• 1:40:31
  weak, that has found himself through honor to be in proximity
• 1:40:36
  with them who love God, them who are disciplined, them who are
• 1:40:40
  going somewhere, not people who gossip, talking about people,
• 1:40:44
  minds that have been refined by knowledge.
• 1:40:48
  When you hear them speak and they speak of excellent things,
• 1:40:53
  I show you someone who will never remain small.
• 1:40:59
  So the first key if you want to make pro destiny decisions is
• 1:41:05
  that you must know how to have access to wisdom by the Word of
• 1:41:09
  God alongside what compliant resources.
• 1:41:13
  You must know how to draw wisdom from there.
• 1:41:17
  Apostle, by the grace of God, I'm going to be an exceptional
• 1:41:20
  father and husband. I don't believe in you until I
• 1:41:24
  see what you are reading. I don't believe that statement.
• 1:41:28
  I know you are joking until I see.
• 1:41:31
  Show me who is shaping your mindset on fatherhood.
• 1:41:34
  Show me who is shaping your mindset on being a responsible
• 1:41:38
  husband. Then I can know whether your
• 1:41:40
  confession is blind or you'll be a repetition of where you are
• 1:41:43
  coming from. Apostle, I'm going to be a great
• 1:41:46
  woman. Esther, Deborah Stories.
• 1:41:48
  If it's positive conversion, that's fine.
• 1:41:51
  Show me who is shaping your mind.
• 1:41:52
  If it's some frustrated person online transferring our
• 1:41:56
  frustration to you, No Ma, no Ma, no Ma.
• 1:42:05
  Apostle, by the grace of God, I'm going to build churches.
• 1:42:08
  I will be so blessed. I will love the Lord.
• 1:42:10
  I love your sincerity, but I don't believe you.
• 1:42:13
  Show me who you are learning from.
• 1:42:15
  Show me who you are learning from.
• 1:42:17
  Let me see the books you are reading that expose you to
• 1:42:19
  diligence, to relationships, to value, to the power of
• 1:42:23
  competence and excellence. Show me then.
• 1:42:27
  I believe you, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:42:29
  Your decisions are as superior as the materials that inform
• 1:42:36
  your mindset. Your decisions are as superior
• 1:42:40
  as the materials that inform your mindset.
• 1:42:45
  A man with a loser's mentality cannot make a winner's decision.
• 1:42:50
  No Sir. A man with a loser's mentality,
• 1:42:53
  I repeat, no matter how sincere, no matter how well-intentioned,
• 1:42:58
  a man, a woman, a pastor, a businessman with a loser's
• 1:43:03
  mentality. Loser's mentality being a
• 1:43:06
  description, not an insult. You cannot produce a winner's
• 1:43:10
  decision. The concise from within.
• 1:43:13
  That's where it must change. Listen, there are parents today,
• 1:43:25
  with all due respect, when they see their children going to
• 1:43:29
  church and being zealous about the things of God because they
• 1:43:34
  themselves are not serious with God.
• 1:43:37
  They think the children are doing too much.
• 1:43:39
  What are you going to do in church again?
• 1:43:41
  Me with prayer every time you are in church.
• 1:43:43
  It's not the man's fault he has not prioritized God, so he
• 1:43:48
  cannot watch his child have value beyond his level of
• 1:43:51
  understanding. Are you seeing the problem now?
• 1:43:53
  So he will retreat the child back and then the child stays
• 1:43:56
  back home now not doing anything.
• 1:43:59
  And there's the devil will come pornography.
• 1:44:01
  And then because the boy's at home and he's idle, he's not
• 1:44:04
  doing anything. And he has access to an Android
• 1:44:06
  phone where he would have been in church, learning, growing,
• 1:44:10
  building, having a community of Kingdom minded people.
• 1:44:13
  Because the father with all due respect or the mother or the
• 1:44:16
  parents, every parent transfers to their children their passion
• 1:44:20
  for God or otherwise. A man that believes in fasting
• 1:44:24
  and prayer, believes in diligence, spirituality, the
• 1:44:27
  word of God will most likely give the children the enabling
• 1:44:31
  environment to replicate same. Am I right on that?
• 1:44:34
  A man who does not place value on God will tell the child go
• 1:44:38
  and make money. This church trusting and before
• 1:44:40
  you know it, the child becomes a failure.
• 1:44:45
  You can bless beyond your mindset.
• 1:44:47
  You cannot bless beyond your mindset, even if you want to be
• 1:44:51
  hard walking, don't be lazy, be great.
• 1:44:54
  That's not the key to greatness, but that's all the man knows.
• 1:44:58
  That's all the man knows. He wants his child to be great
• 1:45:01
  and unfortunately he's not access the word nor word
• 1:45:05
  compliant materials to methodically walk that boy
• 1:45:09
  through an enviable destiny. All he knows that he heard is
• 1:45:13
  all he tells the boy. Be great, be serious and the boy
• 1:45:16
  will say I'm trying to, but unfortunately sometimes a man
• 1:45:21
  may be too proud to not sit down and learn that although you are
• 1:45:24
  sincere, this is not the way greatness happens.
• 1:45:29
  Koinonia, I pray for you in Jesus name you will not.
• 1:45:32
  Enter out something you hate because.
• 1:45:34
  Of your decisions you will not hated destiny and yet still end
• 1:45:38
  time to it again in the name of Jesus Christ as God empowers
• 1:45:44
  your capacity to choose. Tonight.
• 1:45:45
  Through this teaching, may you begin to scale prophetic heights
• 1:45:49
  in the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, blessed be the name
• 1:45:56
  of the Lord decisions. So you have two people, for
• 1:46:01
  instance, let's say real estate people.
• 1:46:04
  One understands the law of diligence, understands the law
• 1:46:08
  of relationships, and understands the prophetic
• 1:46:11
  advantage. I'm working with your mind
• 1:46:13
  brother, a real estate. He understands the law of
• 1:46:16
  diligence, he's hard working, he understands the law of
• 1:46:20
  relationships, strategic connections, and he understands
• 1:46:24
  the prophetic advantage. Brother B born again.
• 1:46:28
  He understands the law of diligence, but does not
• 1:46:31
  understand the law of relationships.
• 1:46:33
  So even though he's a hard working person, network of
• 1:46:37
  architects and builders, doors don't open.
• 1:46:40
  Because doors are relational. They are more relational than
• 1:46:43
  they are of skill. This man will remain stunted.
• 1:46:47
  He doesn't know why. His inability to have learned
• 1:46:50
  that law has become a a a stumbling block.
• 1:46:54
  Then the guy does not understand the power of the prophetic.
• 1:46:57
  Sometimes he even mocks it. This guy will remain here
• 1:47:00
  whereas somebody who sometimes may even be less skilled than
• 1:47:04
  him in scaling heights because he's added other things and he's
• 1:47:08
  making quality decisions. Are we together now when he gets
• 1:47:12
  a great project, ladies and gentlemen?
• 1:47:20
  Listen to me if you do not understand.
• 1:47:23
  The mysteries of the Kingdom. You will not be able to make pro
• 1:47:28
  destiny decisions. Knowledge, knowledge.
• 1:47:37
  I'm thinking about. My life and I'm thinking about
• 1:47:39
  this ministry and I'm thinking with all due respect of the
• 1:47:43
  things that happen on the ground that you may never see, you may
• 1:47:49
  never know, but with all due respect are responsible for the
• 1:47:52
  results you see and admire. I can tell you one thing for
• 1:47:56
  sure, mastery. Nothing happens by mistake.
• 1:48:00
  Did you hear what I said? Don't just celebrate victories.
• 1:48:04
  Let it provoke you to know how victories are engineered.
• 1:48:09
  How victories are engineered. Someone asked me a.
• 1:48:13
  Question and he. Was just celebrating what God?
• 1:48:16
  Did in giving. Us, the place he gave us and he
• 1:48:19
  said, Apostle, how did you do it?
• 1:48:21
  I told him, I said I can't answer you because it's not it's
• 1:48:24
  not a sentence. Are we together?
• 1:48:27
  The only way to answer you is to walk you through a journey.
• 1:48:30
  That's the. Answer What am I going to say
• 1:48:33
  now? If I say it is God, it's not a
• 1:48:36
  lie. If I say diligence, it's not a
• 1:48:38
  lie. If I say relationships, it's not
• 1:48:40
  a lie. If I say messy, it's not a lie.
• 1:48:43
  If I say favor, it's not a lie. Which one do I omit now in
• 1:48:46
  giving you the answer colonial? Nothing will change until your
• 1:48:55
  decisions change. The decision to leave bad
• 1:48:59
  friends without insulting them and redefine a new company whose
• 1:49:04
  values reflect where you are going to is a superior decision.
• 1:49:08
  That's your commitment. Let me speak to a father.
• 1:49:12
  The decision to take advantage of your home.
• 1:49:15
  And be the. Priest over your home, taking
• 1:49:18
  care of your wife, taking care of your children as unto God is
• 1:49:22
  a protesting decision. The decision to stop living
• 1:49:26
  carelessly, traveling and leaving your wife and children
• 1:49:29
  without knowing how they are being taken care of and saying
• 1:49:32
  it does not matter. And sometimes lots of Christians
• 1:49:35
  are involved in this. Let me speak to the women too.
• 1:49:43
  Madam, you cannot leave your husband.
• 1:49:46
  No cooking. Your children, they are not and
• 1:49:49
  you are busy doing whatever it is.
• 1:49:51
  Let me tell you, this is what I believe.
• 1:49:53
  Anything that destroys your relationship with Jesus,
• 1:49:57
  destroys your family, destroys your health is not worth your
• 1:50:01
  time. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:50:04
  Anything that would destroy these three things, your
• 1:50:07
  relationship with Jesus, your family and your health, believe
• 1:50:12
  me, it's not worth it. It's not worth it because at the
• 1:50:18
  end of. It these three things matter, if
• 1:50:21
  you are not healthy, you will. Die.
• 1:50:22
  If your family scatters into pieces, you will see how
• 1:50:25
  depressing it will be for you. They are the ones who will stay
• 1:50:28
  with you when all the stakes are down and then ultimately, your
• 1:50:31
  relationship with Jesus. Decisions.
• 1:50:35
  So number one, you must have access to wisdom #2 the second
• 1:50:41
  way to make strategic protesting decisions is that you must
• 1:50:46
  obtain grace from God. Please listen.
• 1:50:49
  When you know what to do, there is grace to do.
• 1:50:53
  It is called the doing grace. There are many people who know
• 1:50:57
  what to do. They know the choices to make,
• 1:51:00
  but the end gracing to make the choices are not there.
• 1:51:04
  You obtain grace from God to now actually make the decisions.
• 1:51:11
  You can make the decisions by writing them down as a goal.
• 1:51:15
  You can make the decisions in the place of prayer, but in any
• 1:51:20
  case, the next step after you know what to do is to obtain
• 1:51:24
  grace. I'll tell you this, ladies and
• 1:51:25
  gentlemen, any decision that will reveal the glory of God in
• 1:51:29
  your life must happen by the grace of God.
• 1:51:33
  Are we together now? The arm of flesh cannot make a
• 1:51:36
  decision that glorifies God, the flesh of man generally.
• 1:51:40
  So what you need is that when you find the path you want to
• 1:51:44
  take, say for instance, you are now making AU turn with your
• 1:51:48
  life and you are living practices and things that are
• 1:51:51
  not of God and you want to start on a new leaf, Let me tell you,
• 1:51:54
  you don't have the power. You can decide, but you don't
• 1:51:58
  have the power. You can will to do, but you must
• 1:52:02
  obtain grace from God. Somebody say I obtain grace.
• 1:52:05
  Say it again, I obtain grace. Please look at me.
• 1:52:09
  How many of you know that many people who are prayerless know
• 1:52:13
  the power of prayer? Why are they not praying?
• 1:52:16
  How many of you know that even an armed robber knows that a
• 1:52:21
  most superior path to life is through dignity and diligence?
• 1:52:24
  Am I right on that? Why wouldn't he change?
• 1:52:28
  Because it takes more than a desire.
• 1:52:31
  The will to do it is. There, but you need.
• 1:52:33
  Empowerment. I'm praying for someone
• 1:52:35
  sincerely, because for some, this is where you are right now.
• 1:52:39
  It is not that you don't know what to do.
• 1:52:42
  You know you should read books, you know you should be serious.
• 1:52:46
  You know you should wake up in the morning and pray.
• 1:52:49
  You know that you should fast. You know you should bear roots
• 1:52:52
  downward. But the power to do it.
• 1:52:54
  Some of you know that you should leave certain associations for
• 1:52:58
  good. But the power in the name of
• 1:53:02
  Jesus to all those seeking that empowerment, the.
• 1:53:05
  Doing grace from. The depth of my heart.
• 1:53:08
  I pray for you and for a family following online.
• 1:53:11
  May the doing grace rest on you now.
• 1:53:16
  May the doing grace rest on you now.
• 1:53:20
  May the grace to. Actually choose rest on you.
• 1:53:23
  Now. Do you know why I'm saying that?
• 1:53:29
  Remember. Sometimes when you choose.
• 1:53:33
  It will come with temporary constraints before you now see
• 1:53:37
  the beauty. If grace is not given, you will
• 1:53:40
  not be persistent. Are we together the person who
• 1:53:45
  decides, for instance and? Please don't feel bad.
• 1:53:50
  Decides to stop leaving a man who wants to give you money and
• 1:53:56
  destroy your life and you make. Up your mind that from today.
• 1:53:59
  I will be a responsible lady, in all honesty and from a human
• 1:54:03
  standpoint. You will suffer temporarily
• 1:54:06
  because the meaning of that is that you may go back to where
• 1:54:09
  you are coming from. You will not get certain
• 1:54:11
  privileges, but it is a nobler decision and sometimes the
• 1:54:15
  results will not show immediately.
• 1:54:17
  So you will look like a fool. Your other friends who you live
• 1:54:21
  in the world, they will look at you and say look at your life.
• 1:54:24
  You were better off now simply because this church thing has
• 1:54:27
  hijacked you. You've taken away dignity and
• 1:54:30
  you will feel stupid for a long time.
• 1:54:33
  So you need grace. You need grace.
• 1:54:36
  Someone who? Used to drink and smoke.
• 1:54:38
  And live riotously. By the time you leave, you will
• 1:54:42
  go through the period of loneliness because those are the
• 1:54:45
  only friends you have now. Absorbing yourself in church and
• 1:54:49
  learning all this, you are entering a new lifestyle.
• 1:54:52
  You need grace again. I pray for you in the name of
• 1:54:56
  Jesus, the empowerment to start making choices.
• 1:55:00
  Not just to know what choices to make, but to actually make those
• 1:55:04
  choices. I release that grace on you now.
• 1:55:28
  My life must change my. Life must change.
• 1:55:38
  I've. Touched, your Grace.
• 1:55:42
  I've. Touched your grace.
• 1:55:47
  My mind must change. My mind must change.
• 1:56:01
  I've touched your grace. I've touched your Grace.
• 1:56:24
  Hallelujah, I was looking at a few please.
• 1:56:30
  Sit down. I was looking at a few of our.
• 1:56:32
  Photos from our conferences across the globe this morning I
• 1:56:38
  think it was, and I sat very quietly as I was praying and
• 1:56:42
  preparing for tonight. I was.
• 1:56:45
  Almost in tears and all I was saying is, Lord Messi, I thank
• 1:56:51
  you. I was looking at the poster that
• 1:56:53
  you just saw now looking at all the faces there and I was
• 1:56:57
  thinking to myself, the mercy of God.
• 1:57:01
  But you know what? The Holy Spirit whispered back.
• 1:57:03
  He said the power of choice. It's not just Messi, the power
• 1:57:09
  of choice because the same Lord is reached unto all rainy season
• 1:57:18
  does not when? Rain falls.
• 1:57:20
  It doesn't just fall in one region.
• 1:57:22
  It falls everywhere. So when you see someone's bucket
• 1:57:25
  full of water, the person also took advantage and kept a bucket
• 1:57:30
  outside. You didn't want the rain to
• 1:57:32
  touch your body, so you stayed inside.
• 1:57:34
  The consequences that it fell on the ground and went away, but
• 1:57:39
  someone brought buckets. The same rain that would have
• 1:57:42
  filled your buckets. Are we together?
• 1:57:44
  Someone used the opportunity honestly, when I looked at
• 1:57:48
  everything all I was saying because you see sometimes when
• 1:57:51
  you are in a position like God has put me, you look at life in
• 1:57:54
  a very different way when God gives you access to a
• 1:57:59
  generation, honestly. Sometimes all.
• 1:58:02
  You see is mercy, mercy, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace,
• 1:58:13
  grace, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
• 1:59:32
  So truly, it is the grace and the mercy of God.
• 1:59:36
  But while. I meditated.
• 1:59:38
  Almost in. Tears thanking God, the Holy
• 1:59:41
  Spirit whispered it again to me. He said it is the power of
• 1:59:45
  choice, the power of choice. When the prayer grace came, some
• 1:59:51
  received it, some rejected it. When the diligence grace came,
• 1:59:56
  some received it, some rejected it.
• 1:59:58
  When the persistence grace came, some received it, some rejected
• 2:00:03
  it. When the relational grace came,
• 2:00:06
  some received it, some rejected it.
• 2:00:09
  When the selflessness grace came, some received it, some
• 2:00:13
  rejected it. When the power grace came.
• 2:00:16
  Some received it, some rejected it.
• 2:00:19
  When the influence grace came, some received it, some rejected
• 2:00:39
  it. Grace, grace, grace everywhere.
• 2:00:50
  That I go. Hear.
• 2:01:00
  Me. Look at me, Paul said.
• 2:01:03
  I am what I am by the grace of God.
• 2:01:08
  Give us that scripture, he said. For.
• 2:01:10
  Disgrace, this is. Where I'm going to tonight.
• 2:01:13
  But disgrace, Please find it for U.S. media.
• 2:01:15
  I am what I am by the grace of God, it says.
• 2:01:21
  And this grace that was bestowed upon me was not in vain, it
• 2:01:27
  says, but I labored more abundantly than they are.
• 2:01:31
  Are you reading that? Now give us NIV.
• 2:01:34
  Let's see what NIV says. By the grace of God, he says, I
• 2:01:40
  am what I am. He says.
• 2:01:41
  And his grace to me. Was not without effect, no.
• 2:01:45
  I worked harder than all of them, yet not I but the grace of
• 2:01:50
  God that was with me. So don't you make a mistake in
• 2:01:54
  just singing about the grace of God.
• 2:01:56
  Don't use it to downplay the sacrifices.
• 2:01:59
  You take advantage of the grace and then you walk out your
• 2:02:03
  salvation in prayer. You walk out your salvation in
• 2:02:08
  learning. I just kept saying messy.
• 2:02:14
  I flipped through the photos, the things that God did in.
• 2:02:17
  New York, the things that he did in Glasgow, Scotland, the things
• 2:02:22
  that he did in Calgary and then earlier this year in Dallas.
• 2:02:26
  I mean, mighty manifestations of his power, the healings, the
• 2:02:31
  miracles. I was just watching from a third
• 2:02:34
  party view. I still as though I was not
• 2:02:36
  there, just looking at the things that God did and looking
• 2:02:40
  at the things that God is doing in this ministry.
• 2:02:42
  Week in, week out, an opportunity to speak to kings,
• 2:02:47
  to nobles, and. And I'm looking at.
• 2:02:50
  It and say God. I just kept saying mercy, mercy,
• 2:02:53
  thank you. And the Spirit of God whispered
• 2:02:56
  very slowly to my heart. It is the power of choice
• 2:03:03
  sometimes because of our determination to see.
• 2:03:06
  Jesus glorified we. We hate trying to.
• 2:03:09
  Take credit for anything. And so we act as if we are
• 2:03:12
  dumbest and foolish in His presence.
• 2:03:14
  But let me tell you the truth about it is that even though the
• 2:03:17
  grace of God was there, it took the stability and the insistence
• 2:03:22
  of choice. I can tell you moments when I
• 2:03:25
  was learning the law of honor. I can tell you moments when I
• 2:03:28
  was learning the law of favor. I can tell you times of prayer
• 2:03:31
  and fasting. I don't just give credit to
• 2:03:34
  these things. I can tell you when you submit
• 2:03:36
  yourself to learn where God grants you visions, the visions
• 2:03:40
  of some of these things today, you walk it out.
• 2:03:48
  You walk it out. You walk it out.
• 2:03:51
  You. Walk it out.
• 2:03:53
  I remember when I began to see the visions of the nations, when
• 2:03:56
  God was revealing to me that would take me to the nations.
• 2:03:59
  I looked at myself. I said the nations.
• 2:04:03
  That means you need to contend for light and power and wisdom.
• 2:04:06
  You need finances. You need to learn the laws so
• 2:04:09
  you don't manipulate people. Where will you get that kind of
• 2:04:11
  money from? The grace to stand all the
• 2:04:20
  attacks that come from the devil, the leadership.
• 2:04:23
  And organizational knowledge, because it takes more than
• 2:04:26
  anointing, it takes leadership. But you see, we're not the first
• 2:04:32
  doing it, so we follow them while.
• 2:04:35
  We look onto Jesus. We follow them.
• 2:04:38
  Them who a lot of people mock out of ignorance, them who a lot
• 2:04:42
  of people trivialize In spite of their result.
• 2:04:45
  We have chosen the foolishness of following us.
• 2:04:48
  We look onto Christ. It is the grace of God.
• 2:04:53
  But there was diligence. Are we together now?
• 2:04:57
  Diligence, diligence times when anybody can give up.
• 2:05:03
  We decided to continue and we pushed.
• 2:05:06
  Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, our generation has a
• 2:05:10
  cancer and praying that God would deliver us from is the
• 2:05:14
  cancer of trivializing the sacrifices of people.
• 2:05:18
  You see when you see people now wear the royal apparel and they
• 2:05:22
  sit on the throne, it covers the scars.
• 2:05:26
  It does. It covers the scars.
• 2:05:29
  Are we together? You look at my hand here, have
• 2:05:31
  a. Few scars.
• 2:05:32
  This scars came since I was a small child.
• 2:05:34
  Regardless my quality of life, that's refused to go.
• 2:05:37
  It's just there. It reminds me of where I'm
• 2:05:40
  coming from. I don't know.
• 2:05:41
  I can't even remember how some of these scars came.
• 2:05:43
  Whether I play or hard work or life, I don't know.
• 2:05:46
  I can't remember. Are we together Scars?
• 2:05:51
  But when I wear suit or I wear whatever it is, you wouldn't
• 2:05:55
  see. It.
• 2:05:56
  But don't be mistaken, it's still there.
• 2:05:59
  There are people when you look at their altar, it's blood you
• 2:06:02
  see dripping so. While you are saying it's the.
• 2:06:04
  Grace of God, make sure you don't trivialize it that when
• 2:06:09
  others are sleeping they are awake.
• 2:06:12
  Are we together? I once saw the.
• 2:06:14
  Photo of a man Beautiful photo. He was trying to protect.
• 2:06:17
  His children and there were arrows on his back, but the
• 2:06:21
  children could not see it. I said.
• 2:06:23
  This is a description of the destiny of many people, the
• 2:06:25
  things they have received in the spirit for others, while
• 2:06:28
  shielding them so that they will grow.
• 2:06:31
  Koinonia, Body of Christ, hear me, we must return to the place
• 2:06:35
  of not human worship, but a respectful and a healthy honor
• 2:06:41
  for the sacrifices of people. Hallelujah, I can tell you this
• 2:06:47
  with all. Humility, my beloved.
• 2:06:49
  People mastery. Is not by.
• 2:06:52
  Mistake. I told you that when you see
• 2:06:55
  consistency in results, even if the people do not look like it,
• 2:07:00
  it is not a mistake. It is engineered, it is
• 2:07:03
  programmed. The thing about destiny is a man
• 2:07:06
  will not look like it, but it does not matter.
• 2:07:09
  Is the mindset not the form? You can see a man, very honest
• 2:07:14
  you mean, but they tell you he's a professor.
• 2:07:17
  Make no mistakes. About it till he tells you his
• 2:07:19
  story, till he tells you all the things he went through that he
• 2:07:24
  was reading when he started, he started reading with a Lantern.
• 2:07:27
  All of that and he will tell you the stories.
• 2:07:29
  We, we, we have an interesting way of trivializing the
• 2:07:34
  sacrifices of people. I don't just mean worship, human
• 2:07:38
  worship. No, that one is wrong.
• 2:07:41
  We find someone who prospers by the dignity of Kingdom.
• 2:07:45
  Integrity. And we say, oh, you.
• 2:07:46
  Know what these guys they are just funny.
• 2:07:48
  I'm sure God just showed them a special grace.
• 2:07:50
  Special grace? Are you joking?
• 2:07:53
  You find a man having influence over people like our.
• 2:07:57
  Fathers in the. Lord, do you know what it means
• 2:07:59
  for people to love people to admire people to receive and to
• 2:08:03
  keep listening for decades? How can that be a mistake?
• 2:08:08
  The reason why only few people truly succeed is because we
• 2:08:11
  don't learn. When God puts models.
• 2:08:14
  Before us our we are wrapped up with our pride and bitterness
• 2:08:18
  and envy and we never learn What I can tell you miss results are
• 2:08:22
  not mistakes by the message of God.
• 2:08:26
  One of the things that God has raised us to do by His mercy is
• 2:08:30
  in all humility to demonstrate the possibilities of the Kingdom
• 2:08:35
  to a generation. Those who are open and can learn
• 2:08:39
  a portal is created through that obedience.
• 2:08:42
  They can plunge into it and step into it.
• 2:08:45
  Hallelujah. It's not something to brag
• 2:08:48
  about, but it's also not something to trivialize that God
• 2:08:52
  grants grace and we buy a property in billions.
• 2:08:55
  No asking for funds, no manipulation, no installmental
• 2:08:59
  payment at once. And you are not a thief.
• 2:09:02
  You don't do money laundering. It will take a foolish person to
• 2:09:05
  ignore that that you are able to help people and bless.
• 2:09:11
  People, I made a covenant with God.
• 2:09:14
  And I've told you in this ministry, for as long as I'm
• 2:09:17
  alive, nobody will be manipulated here for financial
• 2:09:20
  gains or whatever it is. We grew up in ministry and we
• 2:09:25
  saw people doing it. We were able to edit out of
• 2:09:29
  love. The things we saw that we did
• 2:09:30
  not believe, we honored them and picked the ones that are worth
• 2:09:33
  compliant and used it to frame our understanding.
• 2:09:38
  Take away finances. How about souls?
• 2:09:41
  How about souls? Sometimes when I get the record
• 2:09:43
  as they sent to me the souls that were saved during the
• 2:09:46
  conferences, I say was worth the while.
• 2:09:49
  Ladies and gentlemen, I don't mean to sound arrogant, but
• 2:09:52
  please forgive me. I'm challenging you on the body
• 2:09:54
  of Christ. You have no idea the budget and
• 2:09:58
  the bills for this convention coming.
• 2:10:01
  I'm telling you, if I tell you, you'll be afraid.
• 2:10:05
  That's the price of integrity, but that's also.
• 2:10:08
  The price of preparation. If you get it, don't trivialize
• 2:10:12
  it. Hallelujah.
• 2:10:14
  Don't trivialize it. The things that we do, that we
• 2:10:19
  do easily, you come for a miracle.
• 2:10:21
  Service and you find. People flying up and down.
• 2:10:23
  You try it, Try it. You know the depth of work with
• 2:10:28
  the spirit that produces those results.
• 2:10:31
  No, Sir. No, Sir.
• 2:10:35
  Colonia, let me tell you this. Learn the way of honor.
• 2:10:39
  Everyone graced by. God should be humble, but don't
• 2:10:42
  take humility for. Granted there.
• 2:10:44
  Is sacrifice behind it? I am what I am, it says by the
• 2:10:48
  grace of God, but this grace was not showered on me.
• 2:10:53
  The Lord told me many years ago. It says, if you will let men see
• 2:10:58
  me. Do you know what it means to
• 2:11:00
  hide behind the cross? Everybody also wants to be a
• 2:11:03
  celebrity. I can design a system for myself
• 2:11:06
  to shine. I'm not a fool, I'm not a dummy.
• 2:11:09
  I can design a system of fame for myself.
• 2:11:12
  But we choose to hide behind the cross and to let Jesus be seen.
• 2:11:16
  Don't trivialize it. Hallelujah.
• 2:11:22
  Praise the name of the Lord. You must obtain grace to make
• 2:11:27
  quality pro. Destiny choices.
• 2:11:30
  Quality pro destiny choices. Trust in the Lord with all your
• 2:11:34
  heart is a choice. Lean on onto your own
• 2:11:37
  understanding is a choice in all your ways.
• 2:11:40
  Acknowledge Him is a choice. The result?
• 2:11:43
  He shall direct your path. Be not wise in your own eyes is
• 2:11:46
  a choice. Fear the Lord and turn away from
• 2:11:49
  evil. It's a choice.
• 2:11:50
  I said before you, life and death is a choice.
• 2:11:54
  This book of the law shall not depart from out of your mouth.
• 2:11:57
  It's a choice, Sir. It's a choice.
• 2:12:00
  A diligent hand, It's a choice. A lazy hand.
• 2:12:04
  It's a choice. Giving excuses, It's a choice.
• 2:12:07
  Killing every excuse is a choice.
• 2:12:13
  Becoming an exceptional worshipper.
• 2:12:15
  It's a choice becoming an anointed.
• 2:12:18
  Man of God, it's a choice. Becoming a cutting edge
• 2:12:22
  businessman, it's a choice. Are we together?
• 2:12:25
  Becoming an exceptional mother who your children will bless God
• 2:12:30
  that you are their mother. It's a choice.
• 2:12:32
  It's not a desire. Becoming an exceptional father
• 2:12:37
  that raises a winning Kingdom family is a choice.
• 2:12:41
  Ending poverty is a choice. Breaking generational causes is
• 2:12:46
  a choice. Stepping into the blessing is a
• 2:12:49
  choice. Influence is a choice.
• 2:12:52
  Redefining the narratives of your life is a choice.
• 2:13:01
  The assignment of the Word of God.
• 2:13:04
  The assignment of the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:13:07
  Is to guide you towards making superior choices.
• 2:13:11
  Tonight's teaching is hard but is for your profit.
• 2:13:13
  In my brothers and my sisters, listen to me.
• 2:13:15
  God is provoking us. I want you as you're standing
• 2:13:18
  now I'm going to just run. I will end by doing a recap.
• 2:13:22
  One time when I taught what I think choose life, I gave you 7
• 2:13:26
  major choices. I will still give you those
• 2:13:29
  choices. As we wrap up.
• 2:13:30
  I will remind you I told you there are major choices in life
• 2:13:35
  and there are minor choices. All of them are important, but
• 2:13:38
  not equally important. My prayer is that at the end of
• 2:13:48
  this discussion tonight, someone will.
• 2:13:51
  Take advantage of the victory that is in Christ and use your
• 2:13:54
  will to the power of choices. Come into partnership with what
• 2:13:59
  Christ has done and redefine a great destiny.
• 2:14:03
  Look at me. You can choose after this
• 2:14:05
  service to make up your mind that friends that are about to
• 2:14:10
  destroy my life, I love them, but I have to wave them goodbye.
• 2:14:16
  It's a choice. Will you feel lonely afterwards?
• 2:14:20
  Yes, but it's a choice. You are going to make.
• 2:14:23
  Up your mind that no day will pass without me praying.
• 2:14:27
  It's a choice. The grace is.
• 2:14:30
  And by the message of God, I'm praying for you.
• 2:14:32
  If you don't choose anything right in life, please take this
• 2:14:37
  7 destiny defining decisions. Take them seriously #1 the
• 2:14:43
  decision to be spiritually vibrant, to make exceptional
• 2:14:49
  spiritual progress with your life.
• 2:14:51
  Please, everybody, write that down.
• 2:14:52
  That's the first decision everybody must make.
• 2:14:55
  You want to manifest a life of victory, a life that is designed
• 2:15:03
  by choice, manifesting limitless possibilities.
• 2:15:08
  The first key is a decision to be spiritually vibrant, to make
• 2:15:15
  exceptional. Spiritual.
• 2:15:17
  Progress. What does that mean?
• 2:15:19
  Make up your mind that you will know the Lord.
• 2:15:22
  You will love him, and you will serve him all the days of your
• 2:15:25
  life. I've made-up my mind to go God's
• 2:15:30
  way the rest of my life. I've made-up my mind to go God's
• 2:15:37
  way. I'll sing it one more time.
• 2:15:42
  I've made-up my mind to go God's way the rest of my life.
• 2:15:50
  I've made-up my mind. Not being a Christian and doing
• 2:15:59
  masquerade made-up my mind to go.
• 2:16:03
  God's way the rest of my life. Are we together?
• 2:16:07
  Not being born again and having one stone from somewhere in your
• 2:16:10
  house, one small shrine, say it doesn't hurt you.
• 2:16:14
  He was giving all of us in our family.
• 2:16:17
  I've made-up my mind to go God's way, not not not being born
• 2:16:23
  again and tying something around because it was preyed upon and
• 2:16:29
  was given to you. I don't care what it is called.
• 2:16:31
  I'm not condemning you for the first decision you can make.
• 2:16:34
  Listen. And this decision has an effect
• 2:16:37
  on you and your children and your children's children.
• 2:16:43
  They enter the covenant to serve the Lord with their whole heart.
• 2:16:47
  The Bible says they rejoice. The whole of Judah rejoice at
• 2:16:51
  it, that they made-up their minds that anyone who did not
• 2:16:54
  serve the Lord so will be stoned to death, him and his family.
• 2:16:58
  And the Bible says as they made that covenant, God gave them
• 2:17:02
  rest round about. For as long as Uziah sought the
• 2:17:08
  Lord, he said God made him to prosper.
• 2:17:16
  I have no other God but you. I have no other God.
• 2:17:33
  You have done what no man can do, you will do Praise God.
• 2:18:18
  If it's. Not in your presence if it's not
• 2:18:26
  from your head. No matter what it is in this.
• 2:18:29
  Life, if it's not by your spirit, please don't let me have
• 2:18:37
  it for everything I need if it's not in your presence.
• 2:18:48
  Listen to what I'm saying. If it's not from your hand and
• 2:18:56
  if it's not by your spirit, don't let me have it.
• 2:18:58
  Everything I need is if that money is not from your presence.
• 2:19:14
  If it's not by your hand. If it's not engineered by your
• 2:19:18
  spirit, I'm not interested. I'm showing you what it means to
• 2:19:22
  love Jesus. It's not just to confess it.
• 2:19:24
  No, Loving Jesus comes with an implication of the willingness
• 2:19:29
  to die to anything and any other influence.
• 2:19:33
  For everything I need is in you. I found.
• 2:19:38
  Out in my little life that what God does not give a man, you
• 2:19:43
  cannot have it. I'm telling you truly,
• 2:19:46
  everything I need is in you. The joy that I need, the peace
• 2:19:54
  that I have, everything. I need is in you, let me tell
• 2:20:05
  you. This, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:20:07
  There are many people looking for joy and peace.
• 2:20:09
  Elsewhere, fraternizing. With all kinds of foreign.
• 2:20:13
  Strange, demonic, unfamiliar spirits.
• 2:20:16
  With all due respect, there are men and women of God would
• 2:20:18
  dabble into all kinds of things in search for power, in search
• 2:20:22
  for fame. I tell you this, ladies and
• 2:20:24
  gentlemen, what God will not give you, You can't get it
• 2:20:27
  anywhere. And if the devil dear lies to
• 2:20:30
  you, he will only be beating you for your destruction.
• 2:20:35
  God is enough for me. God is enough for me.
• 2:20:40
  Christ. Alone.
• 2:20:43
  Cornerstone, the weak. Made strong.
• 2:20:49
  In the Father's love through that help me he's Lord.
• 2:20:59
  Lord, just let me sing it once. I'm ministering to your spirit.
• 2:21:05
  Christ the Lord, quieter stone the weak made strong in the
• 2:21:16
  Savior's love through that swarm.
• 2:21:22
  He's love Lord and Lord we used to sing.
• 2:21:31
  This song years ago, I pledge allegiance.
• 2:21:36
  To the land, with all my heart, with all I am.
• 2:21:51
  Some of you don't know these songs.
• 2:22:01
  Hallelujah, the decision to be spiritually serious.
• 2:22:07
  The decision to be spiritually vibrant.
• 2:22:11
  Your prayer life, your love for Jesus, your love for His house,
• 2:22:17
  your love for the things of God, your commitment to serving His
• 2:22:21
  purpose is number 2. What is the second destiny
• 2:22:24
  defining decision that anyone intending to birth and manifest
• 2:22:29
  victory must pursue? The decision to contend for a
• 2:22:34
  superior belief system? The decision to contend for a
• 2:22:42
  superior belief system. A belief.
• 2:22:44
  System greater than the foundation you came from.
• 2:22:49
  A belief system greater than your immediate environment.
• 2:22:53
  I told you a loser's mentality, a loser's belief system cannot
• 2:23:00
  make a winner's decision. Don't forget that we make
• 2:23:05
  decisions to reflect our understanding, our mindset, our
• 2:23:08
  beliefs. Our ideologies.
• 2:23:10
  You must make up your mind that the second decision will be to
• 2:23:15
  contend for superior transformation, a superior
• 2:23:20
  belief system. The way you think, the way you
• 2:23:24
  talk must be upgraded, the way you think.
• 2:23:28
  Don't say I'm a Yoruba person. You are Yoruba by natural
• 2:23:32
  descent. I understand you are Ebo, you
• 2:23:35
  are Hausa, you are Plateau Kaduna American Caribbean
• 2:23:39
  Chinese and that's wonderful. There's a place for honor of
• 2:23:42
  culture and foundation. But in terms of mindset, you
• 2:23:46
  must addict principles and practices that are inconsistent.
• 2:23:51
  You must unashamedly, unapologetically divorce any way
• 2:23:56
  of thinking whether I came from culture, whether I came from
• 2:24:00
  background. If it's not consistent with the
• 2:24:02
  word of God and does not produce a victorious life nor bring
• 2:24:06
  glory to the Lord, don't beat, don't beat, Don't beat.
• 2:24:13
  Where I come from, where women offend you, you may say we beat
• 2:24:16
  them. Don't beat.
• 2:24:17
  It's not found in the Word of God.
• 2:24:20
  Where I come if I'm hungry, I don't cook for my husband, don't
• 2:24:23
  beat. It's not found in the world.
• 2:24:25
  No Sir, no Sir, no Sir. Superior belief system you can
• 2:24:37
  change your clothes, but if the. Same mindset, wearing the
• 2:24:40
  clothes, your result will be the same.
• 2:24:43
  Are we together? You can change cream, you can
• 2:24:46
  change whatever. You can even change your voice.
• 2:24:49
  But if it's the same mindset, you will get the same outcome.
• 2:24:52
  You can change physical location and nothing is intrinsically
• 2:24:56
  wrong with that, but if your mindset does not change, believe
• 2:24:59
  me, Koinonia, your life will remain stunted.
• 2:25:02
  Contend for a superior belief system.
• 2:25:05
  Some of you are truly born again, but my goodness, your
• 2:25:07
  mindset betrays you. When we are reading scriptures,
• 2:25:11
  singing songs, psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, you look like a
• 2:25:15
  Christian. But upon engaging you in
• 2:25:17
  conversation, you speak like one who has not met Jesus Christ.
• 2:25:23
  It must change. 3. What is the third destiny
• 2:25:28
  defining decision you must make? From this teaching.
• 2:25:31
  The decision to discover and fulfill your assignment.
• 2:25:35
  Hebrews 10/7. Lo, I come in the volume of the
• 2:25:39
  book as it is written of me to do your will, O God, The
• 2:25:44
  decision to discover and to fulfill your assignment.
• 2:25:48
  You must answer that question. Why?
• 2:25:50
  Why am I here? Your assignment is your
• 2:25:54
  contribution to Kingdom come your assignment.
• 2:25:57
  Is. Your contribution to the
• 2:26:00
  advancement of the Kingdom of God.
• 2:26:04
  You must find it and you must leave it.
• 2:26:07
  And let me tell. You this, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:26:09
  the. Easiest way I know to evolve
• 2:26:11
  into your call is to serve in the House of God. 4 The decision
• 2:26:23
  to be healthy. And physically strong.
• 2:26:26
  It's a destiny. Defining decision.
• 2:26:29
  The decision to be healthy and physically strong.
• 2:26:33
  I think I've said it here in. Koinonia.
• 2:26:35
  That usually at the end of the year, I do my retreats and
• 2:26:39
  during my retreats, I take inventory of my life across many
• 2:26:43
  indices, one of them being my health and my physical
• 2:26:46
  well-being. And I remember for three years
• 2:26:49
  in a row, not that I was particularly sick, but my health
• 2:26:53
  was the worst performing index of all the indices in my life.
• 2:26:58
  Spiritual vibrancy, mindset. But health.
• 2:27:01
  And I made-up my mind. I say, you know what, I refuse
• 2:27:05
  to die decisions. But that decision would not just
• 2:27:10
  end there. You also have to.
• 2:27:12
  Start removing death from your port.
• 2:27:15
  You don't just say I refuse to die and each death you will die.
• 2:27:21
  Are we together? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:27:23
  I have a very sweet. Tooth.
• 2:27:30
  I buried it. I don't know if he's fully
• 2:27:31
  buried now, but at least I tried burying it.
• 2:27:33
  I. Buried it, I think it has.
• 2:27:35
  It has died significantly, has died.
• 2:27:38
  Maybe not completely died, but it has died.
• 2:27:40
  I am sure of that. A part of it will not resurrect.
• 2:27:43
  Again. Health So when you say I shall
• 2:27:48
  not die but live and declare, make sure.
• 2:27:50
  You understand it's not just a. Confession.
• 2:27:52
  It's a responsibility. Are we together?
• 2:27:56
  Yes. Responsibility.
• 2:28:01
  Laziness. Skills.
• 2:28:03
  Overwalking kills. Too this.
• 2:28:06
  Way you need to pray for some of us.
• 2:28:09
  As I'm saying it now, I'm. Feeling guilty, the message is.
• 2:28:11
  Also, you see how God is speaking to everyone?
• 2:28:13
  Including me. We together praise the name of
• 2:28:18
  the Lord. Please take your health.
• 2:28:22
  Seriously, do you know what a doctor told me I'm.
• 2:28:24
  Not a medical practitioner. But he said for every 10 years
• 2:28:28
  of your life, the dynamics of taking care of yourself and the
• 2:28:32
  way your body works changes zero to 1011 to 20, then when you
• 2:28:39
  start getting from 20. To. 3030 to 4040 to 50, these
• 2:28:46
  three decades, that's where most of the sicknesses that kill
• 2:28:50
  people around 60 years, that's where it starts from.
• 2:28:53
  It usually starts from the 20s. But they are careless.
• 2:28:56
  Pain in the leg. They're careless.
• 2:28:58
  What pain? I don't care.
• 2:29:00
  Sometimes, you know, disease, not a killer, I'm not.
• 2:29:02
  We're doing all those things. It keeps building up.
• 2:29:06
  I pray for you in Jesus name, whatever it takes in Christ and
• 2:29:10
  in. Righteousness for you.
• 2:29:11
  To maintain good health, please do it in Jesus name.
• 2:29:15
  I think the last time I was teaching you on decisions here,
• 2:29:18
  I spoke about a simple instruction like drinking water
• 2:29:22
  can save your life. I hope you know that when God
• 2:29:25
  starts blessing you, the first thing to change is the quality
• 2:29:28
  of the water you drink. It's not luxury.
• 2:29:32
  You are living long. I'm telling you, it's not luxury
• 2:29:35
  and in Nigeria we don't do that. You find out that someone will
• 2:29:38
  barely take one glass of. Water in a day.
• 2:29:40
  But you will take Coca-Cola, with all due respect, you will
• 2:29:43
  take Fanta. You will take all other
• 2:29:45
  beverages, wonderful in their own rights.
• 2:29:48
  But if whatever you do, if you ignore water, just know that you
• 2:29:51
  are signing a contract with death for those of you who have
• 2:29:56
  signed it with two hands. I tear that paper now.
• 2:29:59
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah Nigeria for you. 3
• 2:30:06
  wraps of swallow. Jolof rise by the side and then
• 2:30:12
  all. Kinds of things.
• 2:30:14
  And then? As you put all of those ones.
• 2:30:16
  All kinds of. Beverages are there and then you
• 2:30:20
  remove your shirt because it's serious business and as you prey
• 2:30:25
  on those things 1 by 1 you feel so.
• 2:30:27
  Fulfilled is it? Is what I didn't.
• 2:30:29
  Get as I was a child, and while you are doing that, your destiny
• 2:30:33
  is warning you beeping a red light.
• 2:30:35
  You are you are too occupied to see Nobody here would die before
• 2:30:40
  their time. In the name of Jesus, say I make
• 2:30:45
  a decision. To be healthy.
• 2:30:49
  And to be physically strong #5 very quickly.
• 2:30:53
  The decision to be financially empowered.
• 2:30:56
  I taught you in this. House, I'm only doing a repeat
• 2:30:58
  for this. I'm incorporating it in this
• 2:31:00
  sermon because it is. It is.
• 2:31:02
  These are foundational decisions that determine your life and
• 2:31:06
  establish your victory and experience the decision to be
• 2:31:10
  financially empowered. Oh, I pray for you in the name
• 2:31:12
  of Jesus, my dear people, I have a responsibility over you and I
• 2:31:16
  will not be apologetic over it. You will not be poor. 1st I say
• 2:31:22
  prophetically and I speak to you as a responsibility.
• 2:31:25
  You will not be poor. I say it again, you will not be
• 2:31:30
  poor. Don't.
• 2:31:32
  Let your mindset. I don't.
• 2:31:33
  Want to look like I'm not a serious Christian?
• 2:31:35
  Hey, say. Man, you will not be.
• 2:31:37
  Poor poverty. Has done more harm to your
• 2:31:45
  spiritual life than you know. I told you that.
• 2:31:48
  It pushes men to the corridors of compromise.
• 2:31:51
  There are many people whose integrity would be protected if
• 2:31:54
  they did not need to bend and do a lot of bad things.
• 2:31:58
  When wealth comes, the kingdom's way is a defender of your
• 2:32:02
  convictions. Are we together?
• 2:32:05
  There are certain temptations that cannot happen to you When
• 2:32:08
  God shows you mercy. I'm telling you the truth.
• 2:32:11
  I've taught you here that if you remain indefinitely
• 2:32:14
  incapacitated financially, you will most likely tell lies
• 2:32:18
  knowingly or knowingly. You will steal and most likely
• 2:32:22
  you will compromise. And after years of doing a bit
• 2:32:25
  of ministry, helping people, counseling people, I'm not just
• 2:32:29
  speaking just by head knowledge. I can tell you I've seen good
• 2:32:33
  people at the corridors of compromise and you'll be
• 2:32:36
  finances if we didn't have the resources to do some of the
• 2:32:42
  things we're doing, I'll. Be under pressure as a man of
• 2:32:44
  God. What do you think I'll do?
• 2:32:46
  Two hours or there about listening to you, you know what
• 2:32:49
  will happen already. Are we together when you see
• 2:32:54
  people work in integrity? It's not just because they love
• 2:32:57
  God. Is that there are support
• 2:32:59
  systems. They are enhancers of integrity.
• 2:33:02
  For the sake of your Christian testimony, I'm praying for you.
• 2:33:05
  Again. Anything financially related
• 2:33:09
  that will corrupt your Christian testimony, I will make men say,
• 2:33:13
  are you not a child of God? From my heart I pray for you in
• 2:33:17
  the name of Jesus Christ. May God bail you out of it.
• 2:33:23
  Those of you who are owing, you are owing people.
• 2:33:26
  And it's affecting your Christian testimony.
• 2:33:29
  In the I don't care how you got into that debt, I pray for you
• 2:33:32
  by mercy. May God bring you out of it now,
• 2:33:36
  whether personal debt, whether corporate debt, I pray for you.
• 2:33:40
  Come out of it now. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 2:33:45
  those of you who are about to compromise because.
• 2:33:47
  Of maybe your house. Rent, maybe because of bills,
• 2:33:50
  maybe because of school fees, maybe because of food, medical
• 2:33:54
  bills for your loved ones. In the name of Jesus Christ, in
• 2:33:58
  the name that is above all names, I declare.
• 2:34:00
  May God send you help quickly. Send you help speedily in the
• 2:34:06
  name of Jesus Christ. The decision to be financially
• 2:34:14
  empowered, not from a carnal. Way when we teach anything
• 2:34:18
  regarding finances. In this house we are bold to
• 2:34:21
  teach it because there's been a foundation, there's a guided
• 2:34:25
  understanding as to the purpose of Kingdom wealth, where not
• 2:34:29
  people who chase after money like mundane people who are
• 2:34:32
  godless. There is a responsible approach
• 2:34:35
  to the subject of finance in this house.
• 2:34:38
  And as we teach our global family, are we together?
• 2:34:41
  So when we talk about being blessed, we're not fuelling lost
• 2:34:44
  people who don't love God, just want to jump at everything
• 2:34:47
  around finances. No, we understand the purpose of
• 2:34:49
  money and we understand the boundary of it to a believer's
• 2:34:54
  life and effectiveness. And it is based on that that I
• 2:34:57
  have the liberty to speak over your life again.
• 2:34:59
  God prosper you for someone. Let me use October as a as a a.
• 2:35:06
  Specimen. I decree and declare what did
• 2:35:09
  not happen to you financially from January till September by
• 2:35:12
  the God who has shown us mercy and in the name that is above
• 2:35:16
  all names. Let this be a month of financial
• 2:35:18
  surprises. Let this be a month of strange
• 2:35:23
  financial surprises. Grace to be extraordinarily
• 2:35:28
  diligent. To connect you to.
• 2:35:31
  Strategic help us in the. Name of Jesus.
• 2:35:35
  Christ, it will work for you financially in.
• 2:35:41
  Jesus name, please be seated. Number six very quickly the
• 2:35:45
  decision to build quality pro destiny relationships.
• 2:35:53
  Please start number six because it carries a major weight as far
• 2:36:00
  as. Determining the.
• 2:36:01
  Cause of your victorious living is concerned the decision to
• 2:36:07
  build quality pro destiny relationships.
• 2:36:14
  Quality pro destiny relationships.
• 2:36:18
  A lot of possibilities have. Happened in my life and it was
• 2:36:21
  one of my strong. Contemplations.
• 2:36:24
  From day before yesterday into yesterday, I kept thinking about
• 2:36:28
  the possibilities that have happened all by the mercy of God
• 2:36:31
  but have come through the channel of relationships things
• 2:36:34
  that have made my life easier is made the burden easier the power
• 2:36:39
  of relationships I can point men and women in my life who were
• 2:36:45
  raised by. God.
• 2:36:46
  Strategic Destiny. Helpers who have provided A
• 2:36:50
  leverage and unfair, sometimes uncommon advantage in my life.
• 2:36:56
  I'm praying for you. May you find yours and where
• 2:37:00
  they came, but you're not understanding relational
• 2:37:03
  principles. Drew them and threw.
• 2:37:05
  Them away. May God show you mercy and bring
• 2:37:08
  them back. Some of them came as a test.
• 2:37:12
  God sent a few. You drove them through dishonor.
• 2:37:15
  You drove them through pride. You drove them through lack of
• 2:37:19
  discernment, You drove them through naughty and nasty
• 2:37:22
  attitudes and sarcasms. But I say it again, by messy May
• 2:37:27
  God bring them back to your life.
• 2:37:29
  This is the world of men I don't want to bore you with a
• 2:37:33
  discussion about. Men I've taught.
• 2:37:35
  You in this house extensively that you are as fortunate as the
• 2:37:39
  men who believe in you are now willing to invest your time,
• 2:37:44
  their energy, their credibility towards enhancing your destiny.
• 2:37:48
  Let me say that again, you are as fortunate as the men and the
• 2:37:53
  women raised by God to coming to divine partnership with you,
• 2:37:57
  investing their time, investing their credibility, investing
• 2:38:02
  their resources. One man raised by God can sign a
• 2:38:07
  signature sign something that becomes an access point for you.
• 2:38:11
  It is true. I'm a beneficiary of strategic
• 2:38:15
  relationships, this ministry. Has benefited.
• 2:38:18
  From strategic relationships, as a rule of thumb, never ignore
• 2:38:24
  useful relationships in your life.
• 2:38:26
  Don't trivialize them. Be very intentional about sowing
• 2:38:31
  into them. And maybe a quick recap.
• 2:38:33
  I have taught you that sometimes when you are relating with
• 2:38:36
  people, in all honesty, they are far greater than you from a
• 2:38:39
  physical standpoint. They don't need your money.
• 2:38:42
  You can't give them anything whatsoever.
• 2:38:44
  Every time you cannot give value into a relationship, remember,
• 2:38:49
  give honor and gratitude. Sow the seed of honor and
• 2:38:54
  gratitude. Every time a relationship looks
• 2:38:57
  by far higher than your level. You can't give the man a job,
• 2:39:01
  you can't give the man a house, you can't give the man anything.
• 2:39:05
  You sow the seed of honor, you sow the seed of gratitude.
• 2:39:11
  Some of you may need to go back. I think I was in one of the
• 2:39:14
  nations I wouldn't mention. The nation and I met a.
• 2:39:16
  Precious woman. Very precious woman.
• 2:39:19
  And then she tells me this story.
• 2:39:20
  She said, Apostle, my life and my business has changed.
• 2:39:23
  Today I'm one of the leading people doing this and that.
• 2:39:26
  She said I listened to your message on the law of honor and
• 2:39:29
  relationships. The irrefutable ministry of
• 2:39:32
  destiny help us. I decided to show honor to all
• 2:39:35
  my superiors and the rest is history.
• 2:39:38
  I was elevated in a way as though holding a charm.
• 2:39:41
  And now look what has become of my life.
• 2:39:43
  I was so blessed and honored. I met a gentleman, 23 years old,
• 2:39:49
  23 years old. This young boy speaks with
• 2:39:52
  presidents, he speaks with people and all of that.
• 2:39:55
  I told him if he has the room, he can come and testify.
• 2:39:57
  Maybe he's even following now. He started listening to my
• 2:39:59
  message at 16, age 16. And this boy paid attention
• 2:40:05
  particularly to the law of honor.
• 2:40:08
  Today, as young as he is, people the age of his his grandparents,
• 2:40:12
  he's sitting at presidential tables.
• 2:40:15
  And speaking, it doesn't really depend on age, it depends on
• 2:40:18
  understanding. If your understanding takes you
• 2:40:22
  there, then every other thing will follow suit.
• 2:40:25
  I'm praying for you in Jesus name, understanding the laws
• 2:40:29
  that schedules great relationships and maintains them
• 2:40:32
  in your life. May you receive that
• 2:40:34
  understanding the 7th and final fundamental decision.
• 2:40:41
  That I'll be giving you as we prepare.
• 2:40:42
  To pray is the decision. To be a.
• 2:40:44
  Blessing to be and remain in fact a blessing.
• 2:40:48
  Genesis 12 and verse 3. Hallelujah.
• 2:40:58
  One of the. Subdivisions of this.
• 2:41:01
  Ministry, we're yet to launch it.
• 2:41:03
  But we have a humanitarian, a charity.
• 2:41:06
  I'm in this ministry and it came from this scripture.
• 2:41:09
  It's called Bless International and is one of the channels for
• 2:41:14
  giving back to society. It came from this scripture and
• 2:41:18
  in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
• 2:41:25
  I've taught you many teachings. And I've told you that if in.
• 2:41:30
  All your pursuit, everything you look for is just for self,
• 2:41:35
  yourself. Then there is so much that you
• 2:41:39
  can do in life. It has to be for the
• 2:41:42
  glorification of the Christ and for the betterment of humanity.
• 2:41:48
  Someone's life must be better because you were born.
• 2:41:51
  Someone's life must be better because you are alive.
• 2:41:54
  Someone's life must be better because you went to school,
• 2:41:56
  because you had a job. Someone's life must be better
• 2:41:59
  because you are in a privilege, you are in a vantage position.
• 2:42:03
  It is not all about me, myself and consuming it for personal
• 2:42:07
  loss. Are we learning now?
• 2:42:09
  This is a very important one. You want to be victorious by
• 2:42:13
  choice. You must make up your mind that
• 2:42:15
  everything God gives me, every position God places me at, it
• 2:42:20
  will be directly used. Not just for my personal comfort
• 2:42:23
  and growth, but I will be able to use it as a channel to reach
• 2:42:27
  out to lives, to reach out to destinies, one person at a time.
• 2:42:33
  I was speaking at Harvard University two years ago, and
• 2:42:36
  one of the things I said, if I recall at the fireside chart, if
• 2:42:39
  I recall, is the power of one, that changing 1000 people starts
• 2:42:46
  by changing one person. Destroying 1000 people starts by
• 2:42:50
  destroying one person. For everyone life you change,
• 2:42:54
  you are changing millions in that one life.
• 2:42:57
  Are we together now? Whether you get that person
• 2:43:00
  saved, whether you sow a seed of giving that person a quality
• 2:43:03
  material, a teaching like this that re engineers is
• 2:43:07
  understanding. Once you impact one life, you
• 2:43:10
  have invariably impacted a community, a nation, a
• 2:43:14
  territory, a continent and the whole world.
• 2:43:17
  My charge for you, beloved brothers and sisters, is that
• 2:43:20
  you would have found value from this.
• 2:43:22
  My contemplation tonight I have taught you using the power of
• 2:43:27
  choice as a major uncle. There are many other keys, but
• 2:43:31
  this is a very, very important one.
• 2:43:35
  And as the Holy Spirit quickened it in my heart while meditating,
• 2:43:38
  I was just thinking spiritually, thinking philosophically as to
• 2:43:43
  the possibilities that can happen to a man if you
• 2:43:45
  understand the power, this gift that God has given you.
• 2:43:50
  I have used mine to a measure. I'm still learning how to use it
• 2:43:53
  a lot more effectively. Others have used it profoundly.
• 2:43:57
  Fathers have used it. Businessmen have used it.
• 2:44:01
  Many have used it in the body and in the secular.
• 2:44:03
  With it they have built enviable empires.
• 2:44:07
  Others are testimonials of pain. They have misused this gift of
• 2:44:11
  the will, this power to choose. I'm going to be praying for two
• 2:44:15
  people tonight #1 those who have made all kinds of costly
• 2:44:20
  mistakes with their lives. I want to pray for those people
• 2:44:24
  even before I take the altar call.
• 2:44:26
  You've made all kinds of mistakes with your life,
• 2:44:30
  damaging mistakes. I'm not going to ask you to come
• 2:44:33
  out, but I'm going to speak over you.
• 2:44:35
  You've made you very unwise decisions, decisions that have
• 2:44:41
  destroyed you, decisions that have affected you.
• 2:44:44
  Some of you decisions that have affected your children, affected
• 2:44:48
  your business. Some of you it's financial
• 2:44:51
  decisions. You are allowed pride and
• 2:44:53
  perhaps foolishness, weaving themselves together to produce a
• 2:44:57
  destiny of pain financially. Some of you, even from a
• 2:45:01
  ministerial standpoint, maybe men, women of God, you joined
• 2:45:04
  yourself to wrong Chariots that have caused you a lot of pain
• 2:45:08
  and problems. Some of you today you God gave
• 2:45:12
  you an opportunity 10 years ago 20.
• 2:45:14
  Years ago. You misuse it and this is where
• 2:45:17
  you are right now. I'm going to give you an
• 2:45:19
  opportunity to pray. Everyone is going to pray this
• 2:45:21
  prayer before I make the altar call.
• 2:45:24
  This is very serious. I don't know anyone who from the
• 2:45:27
  start of your life till today, looking at your decisions, you
• 2:45:31
  wouldn't. Even if it's not a mistake, I'm
• 2:45:33
  sure you can say knowing what I know today, I would have made a
• 2:45:36
  wiser decision. There's no point regretting.
• 2:45:39
  The best time was yesterday. The next best time is now.
• 2:45:43
  The next best time is now. Convert your energy, your pain,
• 2:45:46
  your regrets to power and go ahead and begin to pray.
• 2:45:49
  Open your mouth, everybody. Father of Mercy, I come to you.
• 2:45:59
  Are you praying? Father of Mercy, I come to you.
• 2:46:07
  Help me, someone, go ahead and pray.
• 2:46:13
  I've made wrong spiritual decisions that have put me in
• 2:46:17
  trouble spiritually. I've made wrong decisions, wrong
• 2:46:22
  relational decisions. Join myself to wrong Chariots.
• 2:46:28
  I've made wrong financial decisions, wrong ministerial
• 2:46:32
  decisions for some honestly, maybe wrong marital decisions.
• 2:46:38
  In fact. Go ahead and pray for mercy.
• 2:46:41
  One minute, everybody. We cry for mercy.
• 2:46:50
  We cry for mercy. We cry for mercy.
• 2:46:54
  We cry for. Mercy, that a new chapter be
• 2:46:57
  opened unto you right now. You sow the seed of dishonour.
• 2:47:07
  Right now you are receiving all kinds of pay.
• 2:47:11
  You make bad investments, wrong financial decisions.
• 2:47:15
  Go ahead and pray the time you would have invested in prayer.
• 2:47:21
  You use it for something. Else the time you would.
• 2:47:23
  Have invested in learning the word of God, you use it for
• 2:47:27
  something else. The time you would have invested
• 2:47:30
  building strategic relationships, you use it for
• 2:47:34
  something else. The time you have used for
• 2:47:37
  ending, for the anointing, you use it for something else.
• 2:47:41
  The time you have used building Kingdom influence, you use it
• 2:47:45
  for something else. You use your mouth and your
• 2:47:49
  words wrongly. You said things about.
• 2:47:52
  People. You should not say Now it's
• 2:47:54
  boomerang back on you. You did things to people you
• 2:47:57
  should not do. Now it's boomerang back on you.
• 2:48:03
  From the depth of your heart, try for mercy.
• 2:48:39
  Now everyone, you are going to pray.
• 2:48:40
  You are going to use the power to choose.
• 2:48:43
  And the Holy Spirit being your witness, you are going to begin
• 2:48:46
  to verbalize certain decisions. I choose health, I choose
• 2:48:50
  victory, I choose life. Go ahead and begin to pray.
• 2:48:55
  Mention the things that you are choosing.
• 2:48:58
  I make a decision. If you don't know what to say,
• 2:49:01
  you can repeat the seven fundamental decisions I gave
• 2:49:03
  you. In the name of Jesus, I obtain
• 2:49:06
  grace to take my spiritual life seriously, to take the
• 2:49:11
  assignment God has given me seriously.
• 2:49:14
  Someone pray. A father is praying.
• 2:49:18
  A young man is praying a precious.
• 2:49:20
  Daughter of Abraham is praying. Someone who's made all kinds of
• 2:49:25
  mistakes with your life, you are praying from this day forward
• 2:49:30
  things will change. I obtain.
• 2:49:32
  Grace back. To prayer, back to fasting, back
• 2:49:36
  to the Word of God, back to learning, back to discipline,
• 2:49:41
  back to diligence, back to responsibility.
• 2:49:46
  Is someone praying back to? Honor.
• 2:49:49
  Back to understanding, back to superior.
• 2:49:52
  The journey of superior transformation.
• 2:50:01
  Back to learning financial keys that make for sustainable
• 2:50:05
  victory financially. Hallelujah, you are my hiding.
• 2:50:23
  Place you always feel my heart with songs of deliverance.
• 2:50:33
  Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you, I will trust in
• 2:50:44
  you. Let the weak say.
• 2:50:49
  I am strong. In the strength of the Lord, I
• 2:50:57
  will trust in you, I will trust in you.
• 2:51:08
  Let the weak say I'm strong in the strength.
• 2:51:15
  Now listen to me. I'm speaking to someone who.
• 2:51:25
  From the start. Of my discussion tonight.
• 2:51:28
  It was as if a wave of guilt just rained upon you because
• 2:51:33
  with every word that you heard me speak, it was like a knife
• 2:51:38
  slice in a butter just slicing your heart.
• 2:51:42
  You've you have seen that your life has been a plethora of bad
• 2:51:46
  decisions, anti destiny decisions.
• 2:51:52
  The chiefess of. Them been your rejection.
• 2:51:55
  Your conscious rejection of Jesus Christ.
• 2:51:59
  And once you heard me speak, the Holy Spirit began to visit you.
• 2:52:03
  Let me tell you this. No matter how hard he comes, he
• 2:52:07
  never comes to destroy, He never comes to condemn.
• 2:52:11
  He does not leave you in a position where it looks like
• 2:52:13
  there's hopelessness. Everything that comes from the
• 2:52:16
  spirit of grace eventually makes out mercy, makes out grace and
• 2:52:23
  the possibility for a new beginning.
• 2:52:26
  Hope is one of the anchors for a believer.
• 2:52:30
  There's no such thing as hopelessness.
• 2:52:34
  I'm ministering to two groups of people right now and please
• 2:52:37
  allow me to do this very quickly.
• 2:52:40
  For someone who is saying apostle, truly I am a victim.
• 2:52:46
  Of decisions. That should not be.
• 2:52:48
  I need the mercy of God. I look at my life the way it is
• 2:52:52
  right now, and I know that there are decisions that have moved me
• 2:52:56
  away from God. For some of you, the greatest
• 2:53:00
  decision you should make, you've not made them.
• 2:53:02
  You've made many quality decisions in all fairness to
• 2:53:06
  you, the decision to be knowledgeable, the decision to
• 2:53:09
  be a nice person, but the noblest decision that men make
• 2:53:13
  that becomes the basis that anchor for their living a
• 2:53:17
  victorious life. You are yet to make that 1 to
• 2:53:19
  acknowledge the lordship of Jesus.
• 2:53:22
  I'm going to give these two groups an opportunity very
• 2:53:25
  quickly. Account one to five and wherever
• 2:53:28
  you are, no playing games tonight is a serious business
• 2:53:33
  with destiny. You are saying, apostle, I truly
• 2:53:36
  want to make it right with Jesus.
• 2:53:38
  I want to declare his lordship over my life.
• 2:53:41
  Or you are saying I want to rededicate my life.
• 2:53:44
  I've failed in every decision. Every decision I've made has
• 2:53:48
  landed me in trouble to a point that I'm afraid of making
• 2:53:52
  decisions. Why don't you make this one the
• 2:53:55
  first decision in your life. Perhaps that would lead you to
• 2:53:59
  the road to recovery, the road to a new beginning.
• 2:54:02
  Wherever you are, I'm going to count one to five.
• 2:54:05
  I want you to leave your seat and please once they're coming,
• 2:54:07
  make sure you don't interrupt them as they come.
• 2:54:10
  The balconies, everyone one to five, make your way to Jesus
• 2:54:15
  one. God bless you, my brother.
• 2:54:18
  God bless you, my sister. I see my dear brothers and
• 2:54:22
  sisters coming. God bless you.
• 2:54:24
  God bless you. Don't wait for.
• 2:54:25
  Anyone to be the? 1st come, come, come.
• 2:54:29
  God bless you. Those who are coming from
• 2:54:33
  outside, please stand. You don't have to kneel.
• 2:54:35
  Please stand. God bless you, don't be ashamed.
• 2:54:38
  This is a family receiving you. It takes a good decision
• 2:54:44
  empowered by knowledge. To override the wrong.
• 2:54:47
  Decision. Let's celebrate the harvest of
• 2:54:55
  souls. Come.
• 2:55:00
  Come I cost. That spirit out of.
• 2:55:05
  This lady. Out of her now the name of Jesus
• 2:55:08
  Christ I release. You in the name of Jesus, please
• 2:55:13
  come. Four, keep clapping.
• 2:55:15
  They're coming. There are people who want to
• 2:55:17
  make it right with Jesus tonight.
• 2:55:20
  Decisions decide destiny. A wrong decision keeps a man in
• 2:55:25
  sin keeps a man as a failure. But you make a decision taking
• 2:55:30
  advantage of the grace of God and this becomes a new beginning
• 2:55:34
  for you. This is a family that loves you
• 2:55:36
  so passionately. God is able to give you a new
• 2:55:39
  beginning. Come come, you can correct.
• 2:55:47
  Yesterday's mistake. It all starts with Jesus.
• 2:55:52
  Takes beyond the resolution. You must be empowered.
• 2:55:58
  Hallelujah. Keep coming.
• 2:56:01
  Now listen to me. Just a moment.
• 2:56:04
  I sense in my spirit there are many people who are about to be
• 2:56:07
  born again online and to truly rededicate their lives to Jesus.
• 2:56:18
  Jesus decided to leave heaven and come.
• 2:56:23
  It was a choice. He decided Satan.
• 2:56:29
  Decided to. Rebel.
• 2:56:32
  Against the government of God. He was not advised.
• 2:56:35
  He decided. Jesus has left us an opportunity
• 2:56:40
  to choose life. An enviable destiny.
• 2:56:44
  A destiny of beauty and color beyond this life.

  you a new beginning. Some of you are standing.

  You are. Crying.
• 2:57:50
  Don't be. Ashamed, I feel very torched
• 2:57:53
  every time I watch people from this altitude.
• 2:57:55
  I can see them and some of you crying.
• 2:57:57
  Don't be ashamed, you can start afresh with Jesus.
• 2:58:01
  Don't let the devil and the voice of condemnation.

  I don't care what you have done or not done, you can start
• 2:58:07
  afresh again. Lift your right hand.

  I get straight to listening to the message, no matter how
• 3:03:42
  tired. It's a ritual.
• 3:03:43
  I listen to the teaching this time around for my edification.
• 3:03:47
  I don't listen as a man of God, I listen as God speaking to
• 3:03:50
  everyone. He only used my voice to speak
• 3:03:54
  to me and where the messages apply to my life, I take notes
• 3:03:58
  even though I prepared the notes and I build and prayed into my
• 3:04:02
  life. Are we together?

  Praise the name of the Lord. Have you been blessed tonight?
