  Speaker 1: Joshua Thulman, Allelujah.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Raised the name of the Lord.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Congratulations again, Reverend a Killer is the Lord. Bless you
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. Let's give pastor a big,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: big pick up.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Bless you. Dr Pannham the Lord bless sister, such an honor.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Allelujah. Please be seated. I have a very brief charge
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: this morning. Whilst I just prayed and thought about the
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: things that I would share after the day before yesterday,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: yesterday mighty and wonderful things that the Lord did in
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: our midst I just thought to wrap up my session
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: with a thought that has inspired me through the years.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: And just listening to pastors share our mummy, you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: very very touching story.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Every leader here understands the power of humble beginnings.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about my own life and the many
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: great things that God has so graciously done, and I
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: just thought to share a lesson from the life of Mothercai.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I'm teaching on the power of humility, just for a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: few minutes, to help us last and to help us
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: sustain that which God has done and is doing in
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: our lives.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: James Chapter four and verse six.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: James chapter four and verse six, help us this morning,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Spirit of the Living God in Jesus' name James four six.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, but he giveth more grace.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Wherefore he saith, God resisted the proud, but give.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It grace to the humble. One more time, he says, God.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Himself resisted the proud, and he giveth grace to the humble.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Philippians Chapter two and US three. Just a few scriptures
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to set a foundation for the things that we do.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: The Bible says, let nothing be done to strive of
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: vain glory, vain glory, but in loneliness of mind, let
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: each esteem other better than themselves. I had the privilege
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of learning very early in life and even in ministry,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the deceitfulness of pride, how that it does not matter
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the achievements, the accomplishments, the mighty and marvelous things that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: God does in and through the life of an individual,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that anything plus pride will always equal a loss anything
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: at all, no matter how great, no matter how marvelous.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: The moment you add pride.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: To anything, you have given it the license to be destroyed.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: A great destiny plus pride will always result in a loss.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: A mighty vessel of God plus pride will always result
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: in a loss. Great achievement plus pride will always result
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: in a loss. A flourishing business, flourishing ministry, flourishing carrier
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: plus pride will always result in a loss. A loss
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: that is guaranteed because the one who resists you is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: God himself. If Satan resists you, you can pray to God.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: If man resist you, you can pray to God. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: if God resists you, who do you run to? Anything
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: close pride will always inevitably end up in losses, tragedies.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Sadly and unfortunately, this is the reason why many people
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: do not sustain the fire, the momentum of their impact.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: The Bible says, better is the end of a thing
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: than the beginning thereof. It is wonderful to start, it
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: is excellent to continue, But it takes more than skill
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to last. In this kingdom, it takes more than giftings.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It takes more than eloquence oratory excellence to last. In
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: addition to all of these things, we must embrace the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: power of humility.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: What is vain glory? Very quickly, let me define it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Here vein glory I wrote, here is a lost for
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the praise of men, lost lust, a lost for the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: praise of men. Flame glory refers to a state of
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: being boastful, being full of yourself. The Bible cautions us
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: against vein glory, a lost for the praise of men,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: being boastful, being full of oneself talks about ego, pride,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: vain glory. I have watched with shock and wonder how
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: people destroy and deflate great and mighty things that God
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: is doing or has done, in and through their lives.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Not through sin, not through lying, not through immorality, not
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: through witchcraft. They may escape all of those traps, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: when they come to the trap of pride, they fall helplessly.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Haven't paid the prize to jump through all of these things.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: They fall like a pack of God under the very
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: destructive influence of pride.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning this morning.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Pride has brought champions to their knees in shape.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Pride.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Pride has brought experts great names that you would know
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: today they are almost nothing. They faded away because they
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: give in to the temptation of pride. It is very
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: easy to stay humble when you do not have results.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It is very easy to stay humble when there is
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: nothing that is worth the noise.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But the Bible says love.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Not the world, he says Apostle John, not the things
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that are in the world, he says, for all that
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: is in the world. He calls it the lost of
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the flesh, the lost of the eyes, and the pride
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: of life. For many years I studied this. Let me
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: tell you something. There is a difference between pride and
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the pride of life. The pride of life is the
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: self glorification that comes in the presence.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Of obvious results.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: When you do not have results, you cannot have the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: pride of life. You can have pride, but when you
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: have your results surrounding you like chariots, it legitimizes every
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: kind of bragging and boasting and being full of yourself.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, so many people, I hope not among us
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: here have been victims to this deceptive spell of pride,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: especially our generation of young people.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: There is such a growing I mean.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: People fall to this cancer of pride. It has destroyed
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the great, It has brought the mighty to their knees.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: May God forbid it over our lives in the name
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: of Jesus. Someone shouted louder Amen, Let's learn a lesson
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: from the life of Modecai, and then we pray. When
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: we look at the lesson, I define humility, and then.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: We pray as that Chapter two.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Est is a book that I've studied again and again,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and for every time I studied the Book of Esther,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I am amazed at how many things I did not
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: see or have not.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Found hidden in that treasure.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: There are two books in the Bible that are named
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: after women. One is Esther, the other is Ruth. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the Book of Esther is a very interesting expression of
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the destructive, the destructive character of pride and the lifting
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: power of genuine humility.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Allelujah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: The Bible starts with a very interesting story a king,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and the Bible is very vocal about the achievements of
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: this king, Ajazarus, a king who was head over one
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty seven provinces, that was a.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Profoundly great man.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Then the Bible tells us that there was this woman
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: who was queen called Vashti. Now listen very carefully. The
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Bible says that it was in those days it was
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the custom of kings to call other people and just
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: celebrate and flaunt their glory.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The extent of their sovereign power.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And so he called for a feast, and the Bible
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: declares that he invited Esther to come, and Esther refused.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I would always say, I mean verasity. Verasity forgot that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the only reason she was queen was because she married
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the king, not because she won any war, not because
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: she had the ability to fight. The only reason why
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: she was queen was because her husband was king very powerful. Lesson,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You never find Esther saying sorry, I mean verasity, I
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: keep saying, Esther. You never find Versity saying sorry, not once.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Even when the king was grieved. She did not see
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a reason for that, and listened carefully. How dangerous pride
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: can be. The one hundred and twenty seven provinces were
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: not at time by enemies. Everything was still in place
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: in the palace. But one woman's pride was about to
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: divide the kingdom, to the point that the elders and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: advisers came and said, listen, if this becomes a habit,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: other women will model it, and you.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Will wreck your kingdom. Banish this woman.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: So the Bible says she was banished, and a call
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: was made all across the provinces.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And there was this.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Man called mother Kai. The Bible says, his place was
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of service was at the gate of the king, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: so he called his little daughter, now adopted daughter who
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: did not have a father and mother her Dasa. We
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: call her Esther. She came and to call the long
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: story shot, she found favor and became queen. Then the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Bible says something happened very interesting in Esther Chapter two.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: When we read from verse nineteen, the Bible says, certain
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: people among the king's cabinet decided to conspire.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: To kill the king allelujah. And next verse verse.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Twenty we have us twenty. The Bible says that when
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the king found out through the ministry of Modecai, he
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: found out that there were certain people who were out
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to destroy his life. Two of them, the Bible says,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: they were George. They were hanged and everything finished. For
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the sake of time, then the Bible tells us something
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: very very interesting.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Let's jump to chapter six. For sake of time.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You find what I just said in chapter two, from
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: verse nineteen to twenty three. Nineteen to twenty three. Now
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: let's go to chapter six. From verse one, there's a
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: very powerful lesson I want us to learn. The Bible
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: says how that her man there was this treacherous man
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: who happened.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: To be one of the closest persons to.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: The king, and this man was determined to annihilate the Jews.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: His enemy be Mother Kai away together in spite of
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: all the honor that he had. The Bible says that
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: every time he saw more the Kai at the gate,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: he would be angry, and he went to seek counsel
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: among his friends, and they told him, they said, listen,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: since you have good will with the king, why don't
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you talk to the king that you hate this man
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: called Mother Kai, so he would grant.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: You access to hang him.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: And so the Bible says the next day he was
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: already preparing that by the next day he would make
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that request to kill and to destroy Mother Kai. And
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the Bible says that night six verse one esther On that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Night, the king could not sleep, and he.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and they were read before the king followed the story closely.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: The Bible says it was found written that Modecai had
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: told Big Thana and Teresh was told of two of
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the king's chamberlains the keepers of the door who sought
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: to lay hands on King Azarus. As we found in
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: chapter two, the Bible says, the king said, what honor
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: and dignity had been done to Modecai for this for
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: saving my life? And the king's servants administered onto him, said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: there's nothing done for him. The king said, who is
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: in the court? Follow the story carefully. Now a man
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: was come into the outward court of the king's house
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: to speak on to the king. So he came into
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the court to speak to the king about hanging and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: destroy Mother Kui. The king servant said, unto him, behold,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: her man standed in the courts, and the King said,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: let him come in.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Now our lesson begins.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: So Harmon came in, and the King said, unto him,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: what shall be done onto the man whom the King
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: delighted to honor? Watch the character of pride. Now her
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: man thought in his heart, to whom would the King
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: delight to honor more than to myself? Next verse, And
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: herman answered the king.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: For the man.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Whom the King delighted to honor, do the following number one,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Let the royal apparel be brought, which the King used
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: to wear. Are you saying that this is a wicked
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: man who would have killed the king himself later on
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: because everything he wanted was what the king wore. This
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: man was a dangerous man, and it was only a
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: matter of time he would kill the king himself. Do
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: not forbear with evil, you will always give it the
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: power to multiply.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Are we together? Let the royal apparel look at.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Him describing this, believing he would be the one to
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: enjoy it. The royal apparel be brought which the king
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: used to wear, and the horse that the King rided upon,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: what a man? And the crown which the king set
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: on his head. Now you look at that kind of description.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I'm asking you give me a picture by privilege of relationship,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: How should I honor this man? And he saying, strip yourself,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: remove your robe, give the man remove Now watch this,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: hand of one of the King's most noble princes, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: they may read the man without whom the King delighted
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to honor, and bring him on horseback through the streets
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: of the city, watch pride, describing its destruction, and proclaim
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: before him, Thus shall it be done to the man
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: whom the king delighted to honor.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: This is always the end of pride.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: The king said to her man, make haste and take
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the apparel and the horse as thou hast said, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: do even so to Mother Guy. Let me tell you,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you. People have fallen and died
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: because of shock. Doctors who tell us that there is
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a way you can be so impacted psychologically. We need
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: to command Mother Kai for not even falling to die
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: because with this, with this kind of expectation, he stretched
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: his intelligence and his artistry, describing everything his heart ever wanted.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: And the King said, you will be the one to
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: do it. Unfortunately, the one to do it too is
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Mother Gui. Do you know what it means? I could
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: imagine him dressing Modecai and looking at him, and Modecai said,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you didn't do this, well, you clip this properly. This
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: is not how the king looks. God resisted the proud
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that even if you are the King's friend, it does
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: not exempt you from the disaster of pride. It would
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: think being a king's friend would immune you from the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: danger of pride. Is someone learning? Please give us that story?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Learning a lesson, a very simple lesson this morning, Let
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: nothing fail that Tao has spoken of. Next verse, the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Bible says, then took Commander Apparel in shame and sadness,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and I read more the Kai, and brought him on
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: the horseback through the streets of the city, and proclaimed
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: before him, thos shall be done to the man whom
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the King delighted to honor.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Next verse.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Now, this right here is what I want us to.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Let hear what the Bible said and more. The Ki
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: came again to the King's gate. Do you know what
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: this means? After the entire honor, riding on the king's horse,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: with the king's crown, wearing the king's robe with a
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: loud old vashion, all over one hundred and twenty seven provinces,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: you would think he would be too embarrassed to return
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: back to his place of assignment.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, when all that was done, he returned
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: back to the gates.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: This is the lesson this morning. Where he found you
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: is where you should remain. If staying at the gate
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: was where my honor started from, then it would be
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: foolish to be too embarrassed to leave that place.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I do not know about you.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: But it would take the grace of God under this
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: kind of condition to return back. The same people who said, congratulations,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Mother Kai, you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Are now the King's new friend.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Would now pass the gate, and you have to open
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the door for them. And they said, what suddenly happened?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Did you lose favor with the king? And Mother Kai?
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Please keep that scripture.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Came again to the King's gates.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: When God begins to lift you, when God begins to
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: announce you, when God begins to promote you, when God
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: begins to make your name great, learn a lesson from
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: her Man, and learn a lesson from Mother Kui. Once
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: upon a time her Man was not the King's friend.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: There had to be a time in his life when
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: he began to grow to the point where he was
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the King's friend.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And he forgot. He forgot.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Now Mother Guy was about to have his own test.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: If Mother Kui forgot, you would be surprised that you
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: would have faced.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: The same tragedy that her Man had. But Mother Kuy
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: was wise.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: The Bible says, after all of that honor, I could
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: imagine Mother Kui having all kinds of people giving him
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: little papers. Can you help us talk to the King
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: for a contract. Can you now that you have become
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: the King's newman and mother? Guy said, I'm not about
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: all of this. Thank you the God of Heaven.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: For lifting me.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: But I will go back to the place of my assignment.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I will go back to the place where honor found me.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I will go back to the place where prosperity found me.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Listen to me very carefully. I submit to you in
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: all honesty that it is difficult to return to the
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: gate when you've ridden on the King's horse. Anyone who
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: tells you it just happens like that is in ignorance
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: or is lying away together. It takes a lot of stamina.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: There are times where returning back to the gate almost
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: equals the perception of defeat. To you, why will I
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: go back to my knees again now that I have
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: ministry walking? Do I have to fast like I did before?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Do I have to pray like I did before? Do
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I have to great? I was watching Reverend a Quiller
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: just holding Mama and greeting her and honoring Dr Panham,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: And I said, can you imagine he came and sat
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: on the floor, And now God.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Has exalted and honored this man.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Many of us will not even have the humility to
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: acknowledge these people, or will acknowledge them as colleagues and
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: just say you give me a high five, God.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: You you, and brush it away.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: There are many young people today. You make one million,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: ten million. Not your parents, not your pastor no one
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: else can talk to you. We are gods of ourself,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: after all, I have it. Now, learn a lesson from
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: her man. No matter how high you rise, you are
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: not too far from going down.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: You can never rise so high.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: That it becomes impossible to go down. In fact, the
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: higher you rise, the more dangerously when you fall. If
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I fall from this figure down, I may not injure myself,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: But if I fall from a plane, I may not
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: leave to tell the story.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: So Haman by himself began to describe the process of
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: his own defeat and failure. At the end of it
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: you would read that it was the same Haman that
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: was hung on the gallows that he dug and built
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: to kill Modecai. Pride is dangerous, but humility is powerful.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Let's define humility. What does it mean to be humble?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Please write this down. Humility is not refusing.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: We have to clear the air. Now.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Humility is not refusing to acknowledge that God has helped you.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: No, humility is.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Not refusing to end enjoy the blessings and the honor
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: that comes with your assignment, or the grace that has
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: been given to you. That is not humility. But this
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: is humility. The public acknowledgment of God as the basis
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: for your achievement, the public acknowledgement of God as the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: basis for your results, the basis for your achievement, the
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: wisdom to recognize and acknowledge.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: This is humility.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: That behind house on the rock twenty years, Yes, there
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: is a man who represents the leadership. But behind that
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: man is a mighty God standing by him like a
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: mighty terrible warrior and granting him access to move forward.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Men do not move forward just because they want to.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: There is a God that helps men. Are we together?
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Humility is the public acknowledgment of God, the God of
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the heavens, as the basis for everything we are and
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: everything we have.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: So when the grace of God and the glory of God.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Begins to speak and manifest in and through your life,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: my message for you this morning is remember, remember you
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: know why it is harder to remember when you are
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: distracted by your results.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Results can be distracting.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: The applauds of men as sincere and well meaning as
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: it is, can be distracting.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You have to create.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Systems around your life that force you to remember. To
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: remember the one who took me from the dunghill and
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: now brought me before Princess. To remember the one who
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: gave me the leverage of his grace to rise and
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: thrive and excel.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: To remember the one who kept me.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Because accept the Lord build a house, The Bible says,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: the builders build, but in vain accept the Lord watches
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: over the city. The watchmen watch it. But in vain,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: it says. It is vain to wake up early and
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: to sleep late at night, only to eat the bread
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: of sorrow, But that he giveth his beloved sleep. Make
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: up your mind from this morning, and let it be
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: a foundational truth and a pillar in your life that
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: no matter where you lived me, Oh God, no matter
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: what you do through me in ministry, in business, I
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: will let the world know that you are.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: The basis for my results. That when the spotlight.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Is on you, you become and remain an usher that
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: directs them to his majesty, Can I tell you this,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: If you make up your mind that your life would
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: reveal the glory and the grace of God, then He
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: will keep giving you the platform to reveal the glory
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: and the grace of God. And I, if I believed
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: from the earth, he says, I will draw all men
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: to myself. So whilst we celebrate with Reverend Aquila, his
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: dear wife, and the leadership of House on the Rock, just.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: A prayer for.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Him and for everyone is that God will burn this
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: message in his heart. God will burn this message in
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: the heart of the leadership and the membership, that if
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: there is anything worth celebrating, make sure that in all
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: of the accolades and an knowledgements, it ends with God,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: the King of kings, and the helper of man, the
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: one who can lift, the one who exalts, and to
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: every man of God. Here to everyone who has come
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: to celebrate, it is an opportunity for you to search
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: your own life and be very determined that for the
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: rest of my life my life will reflect the glory
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: of God. But that whilst He celebrates me and lived
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: me and gives me a chance to represent Him to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the nations, I will remain humble. Humility comes from this
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: revelation that without Him I can do nothing. Do not
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: make the mistake of her man. Embrace the wisdom of
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Mothercai that after all of the celebrations, you still go
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: back to your knees. Let me tell you this as
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I wrap up. It's a practice that I do and
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: God is my weakness.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: No matter what you know. People.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Many times when I return from a meeting, any meeting,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: and people try to acknowledge the wonderful things that God did.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Usually they would ask me, so, how was the meeting?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: And I say fine. They say, what do you mean
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: by fine? Give us details we watched? I mean, look
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: at the mighty things. And I tell them fine, fine
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: is enough. Everything you want to say is captured in
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: that word fine. The meeting was not bad. Jesus was glorified.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: End of discussion. And I stand before the mirror and
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I look at myself. Truth I'm telling you, And I said,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: mister man, may it never get to you that this
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: was done by your own strengths.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I talked to myself.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I would kneel at the side of my bed and say,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: thank you Father, that boy that you raised has returned
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: back to say thank you. They call me all kinds
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: of names. What I'm returning as that same mother cry
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: to say thank you for the healings, thank you for
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: the miracles. And while you're on your knees, there are
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: text messages coming apostle. You are this, you are that,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: this is mighty. Can you imagine what God has done?
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I know if only you speak, my situation will change.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: And I tell him, Lord, save me from the destruction
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: of this deception the people. Maybe since yeah, but I
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: know what this can do if you do not help me.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you the safest place, the most secured place,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: is on your knees. We stand by kneeling with stabilies.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: When we are on our knees, do not get too
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: far from the ground.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: It will be deception for your fall.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: You do not fall when you are already on the ground.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: You only fall when you are above. Be careful. When
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: God lifts you, let.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Your knees remain, saying thank you.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Now wherever you are in the next one minute, I
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: want you to just lift up a voice of thanksgiving
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: and acknowledgement to the God of Heaven. May I request
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: that you count your blessings, name them one by one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Just a minute for this.
• 32:19

• 32:21
  Speaker 3: for you are not a Christian. Thank him for life,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: thank him for grace, Thank him for house on.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: The rock, thank him for his mercies.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: If the Lord had not been by our side. Now
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: may Israel say in.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: One minute you are saying thank.
• 32:42

  Speaker 3: ever remain humble like Mothercai. May he always be at

  Speaker 8: name of Jesus Christ.

• 39:55
  Speaker 3: start the truth.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: In your heart and.

  Speaker 2: We glorify you.

  Speaker 3: You have taught us this morning the wisdom from the
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: life of Mothercai. Grant us grace to be practitioners of
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: this truth. Grant us grace to live by this value
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: system that it pays to be, and to stay humble
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: that whilst you lift us, and whilst men acknowledge your
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: doings and your workings in and through our lives. May
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: we never fall pray to the temptation of pride and
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: vain glory. May we never never fall into that temptation.

  Speaker 3: Grant us grace, oh God, to be and to remain humble.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: And whilst we remain humble, we pray that you will

• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Blessed is the Lord, the man that delighted in the
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Lord who shared the Lord. Your seed shall be mighty
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: upon earth. The generations of the Upright shall be blessed.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: The Bible says well, and riches shall be in your
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: house and your righteousness and yours forever. I decree and
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: declare that the secrets of the Lord are upon your
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: tabernacle in the name of Jesus Christ. You walk upon
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: your high places. A thousand may fall by your side,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: and ten thousands by your right hand.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: None shall harm you.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: With your eyes will you see the reward of the wicked.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: But as for you, the Lord is your inheritance is
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: your portion.

• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Your gates remain continually open to receive the forces of
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the gentiles, where you have been deserted, so that no
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: man would pass through you. I call you an eternal excellency,
