  Speaker 4: Your excellency, Governor Emanuel Udom, thank you very much for
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: the invite. I appreciate everyone. I stand on the existing
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: protocol and I asked that the Lord himself will bless
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: our hearts even as we listen to the word.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ, let us pray.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Father, we thank you for yet another opportunity to hear
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: you speak to us. Thank you for thirty five years
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: of your faithfulness in this state and Lord, I pray
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: that you will charge our hearts and give us wisdom
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: even through your word, that the moments will share to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: get from the scripture will be most enlightening, and that
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: you will challenge us to even press further. We decree
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: and declare that at the end of dis sermon, Jesus
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: himself will be revealed and glorified. For in Jesus' name,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I pray, may I please request that you led me
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: your attention for the next few minutes. I believe strongly
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: with all my heart that what we're about to hear
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: will change and challenge us. I believe in the power
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: of the Word of God, and I believe that the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: word of God makes the wisdom that comes from the
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Word of God grants us the instruction and intelligence to
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: make constructive progress.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And so the Lord has.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Put something in my heart to share even on this occasion.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: In vain, it says Father that it is vain to
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: wake up in the morning and to sleep late at
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: night only to eat the bread of sorrow.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But he gives his beloved sleep.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: That means, if God does not come to help a man,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: your efforts will only amount.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: To futility and frustration.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Reason number one why we must look onto God, setting
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: our gaze upon him and relying upon his wisdom and
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: his ability. The second reason why the Bible encourages us
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to look onto Jesus is found in Romances, chapter.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Nine and verse sixteen. Romans nine sixteen.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Here's what the Bible says, and I quote again. It says,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: it is not of him that willth nor of him
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: that run it, but of the Lord that showed messy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Our world is full of people who had everything in place, politically, intellectually, academically,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: and so on and so forth, and within a moment,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: issues happened around lives that was within or beyond their control,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and ended their lives, ended their relevance overnight. It is
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: pride for any man to believe he can be self
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: sufficient outside of.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: The messy and the assistance of the God of heaven.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: If we're together, say amen.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: So it is not of him that will let nor
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: of him that run it, but it is of the
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Lord that showed messy. A very interesting story comes to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: mind in Second Kings, chapter five. From these six and seven,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: the Bible talks about a man called Naman.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: He said he was a valiant man.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: He was a captain of the Syrian army, but he
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: had a deformity. He was lepros and then one time,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: by the admonition of the little slave girl that served
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: his wife, she beckoned on him to meet a prophet.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: In Israel who would be able to cure him of
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: his leprosy.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: And on hearing that, the King of Syria, the Bible records,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: wrote a letter to the King of Israel. He said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: be sure to heal this man for me. I want
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: to read verse six and seven. When the King of
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Israel received that letter, he made a very instructive statement.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: He said, ah, my God, that I have the ability
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to heal this man on my own.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And he said, this king is only looking for trouble.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: When I read that scripture, it blessed me because the
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: man was a king, and you know that kings are
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: people of authority.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And statue and influence.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: And yet this man had the honor shamemedness to admit
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that this kind of result only resides within the power
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: of God. It is my prayer that the higher we rise,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: the more we acknowledge that no matter how great we are,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: we are still limited. It will only take God and
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: his power and his wisdom to become the complete of
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: our lives. If you're still with me, say amen, why
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: do we need to look on to Jesus? As the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Bible man dates Psalm sixty two and verse eleven.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Here's what the Bible says.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I have spoken once and twice. Have you heard that
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: power belongs to God? Can we say that acquieblem one
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: to go? Power belongs to God? Said one more time? Please,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: power belongs to God. I have spoken once and twice.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Have you heard that power?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: If any man rises, it is because God lifted him.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: If any man excels, it is because God granted.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Him the grace.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: The Bible speaks about a man called Usiah in Second Chronicles,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: chapter twenty six. When you read from verse five, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Bible says, for us long as he sought the.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Lord, said, the Lord made him to prosper.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: For as long as he sought the Lord, the Lord
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: made him to prosper. Verse fifteen of that same scripture
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: said he became great and mighty because he was marvelously
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: helped of the Lord.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Power belongs to God.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: In p.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: One thirteen some one one three the long reading, just
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: write for reference verse one to nine Some one one
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: three verse one to nine.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The Bible there says that God.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Raises the poor from the dunghill and places him above
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: in a place of honor and nobility. So this God,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ, that the Bible mandates that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: We look upon, is a lifter.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: He can lift men from any background, regardless the conclusion
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: of men. This is one profound quality about the God
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: that we serve. He is not only a great god,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: it is within his power to enthrone and even detron.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: In Psalm eighteen and verse twenty nine, I hope you
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: love Scriptures Some eighteen and verse twenty nine, it says,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: by you, I can run through a troop, and by
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: My God I can leap over a war. Profound statement.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: By you, I can run through a troop. It is
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: not given to a man to run through a troop.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: A troop there represents a resistance.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But by you I can run through a troop.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: It says, by my God, I can leap over a wall.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: May that be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: In Exodus chapter fifteen, Exodus chapter fifteen, from verse eleven
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to nineteen, it is.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Called the song of Miriam.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: This was after the nation of Israel crossed through the
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Red Sea on dry land. Miriam was so touched by
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: that experience, and she penned down a few things, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: she said, who is like onto you? And she began
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: to describe the grace and the majesty of God. It says,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I will sing onto the Lord, for he has triumphed
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: gloriously that the horses and his rider has been thrown.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Into the sea.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Only the God of Heaven is able to patch the
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: sea and grand men access on dry land.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Why does the Bible mandate that we look onto Jesus?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Are we still together?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: In Second Corinthians, chapter three and verse eighteen, Paul was
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: admonishing the church in Korin, and this is what he
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: had to say.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He said, as we behold him, he.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Says, and we with unveiled face beholding him as in
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: a mirror, he says, we are changed when we look
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: onto him and behold him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: We are changed.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: From a version that represents shame and reproach to a
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: version that represents dignity and honor. When we look onto
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Jesus will never remain in shame. Now, please listen very carefully.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: This is a message for the people of a quaibum.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: But then it extends to us many who are listening
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: and following. I can't guarantee you, by the integrity of
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: God's word that nobody looks onto Jesus sincerely and wholeheartedly.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And remains in shame. Ah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: He may take time, but the God of Heaven, who
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: is a lifter and a blesser, will.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Always turn your night today.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: May that be your portion in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: So as we behold him, we are changed. When a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: poor man beholds him, he is changed. When a sick
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: man beholds him, he is changed. When a mediocre and
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: a weak man beholds him, he is changed. And the
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Bible says, we are changed into the very image that
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: we are looking upon. Why does the Bible man date
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: that we look onto Jesus.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The Bible calls.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Him the author and the.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Finisher of our faith. Now listen, this is very powerful.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: The author means the one who originates and starts. The
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: finisher is one who supervises its safe conclusion. The Bible
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: says Jesus Christ is author and finisher. That be true
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: for an individual, That can be true for a family,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: That can be true for a career person. That can
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: be true for a stake, that can be true for
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: a nation. Now listen, there are many people who allow
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ to be author of their lives, but.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: They never work with him to be finisher.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: There are others who never allow him to be author,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: but eventually they discover their mistakes.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: And they allow him to be finisher.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: My charge is that it is best for an individual
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: to allow the God of the Bible, even Jesus, to
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: be author and finisher. The author of your life, the
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: finish of your destiny, the author of acquaibum, the finisher
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: of your destiny, the author of every political career, educational career,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: family career, and the finisher of the same. This is
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: what the Bible mandates in Second Timothy con.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Timothy one and verse twelve. Secon.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Timothy one and Verse twelve. Here's what Paul says, speaking
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: to his son Timothy. He says, but I know whom
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: able to keep that which is committed onto him.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Please look up. God has the power.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: To protect, to preserve, and to keep, but he only
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: keeps what it is committed onto him. He does not
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: keep what is available. He does not keep what you
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: want to be protected. He only keeps what is committed
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: onto him against that day, hallelujah. God is able to keep.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: God is able to protect. He's able to keep a
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: man's legacy. He's able to keep a man's influence. He's
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: able to keep a man's relevance. He's able to give
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: you longevity, provide that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: You commit onto him.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Committing onto God demands humility on your own part, that
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: you realize and acknowledge that honor assisted. I am limited
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: and sincerely, without any any playing with words, I want
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: to sincerely, at this juncture honor his excellency for his
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: outspoken dependence on the God of Heaven. Even in governance,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: it is worthy of commendation, even in a state like this,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I think we should give him a good God bless
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: you for that. Allelujah. Now listen, you know that I
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: am not a politician. I don't do politics.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I am a man of God, a communicator of truth
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and righteousness.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: And as far as my eyes can see, if it
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: is worthy of commendation, I will command with honor.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: If it is worthy of rebuke, I will rebuke in love.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: This is my assignment as a man of God, so
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: that which is worthy of common even his excellency, is
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: submission to the governing authority of Christ, to draw wisdom,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: to draw intelligence. I say it again that it is
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: worthy of commendation. Allelujah. Let me try to conclude. Governments
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: will come and go. Leaders will come and go, businessmen
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: will come and go, kings will come and go, Investors
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: will come and go, politicians will come and go. Every
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: one of us here, including the preacher, will come and go.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Please hear me while you rejoice. I hope you are
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: listening to me. Everyone will come and go. The awareness
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: of the transitory nature of man should give us a
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: level of wisdom and intelligence. It says all teach us
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: onto wisdom. That means there is a level of wisdom
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: and intelligence that comes into the heart of a man
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: when you take a cognizance to the fact that no
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: matter how long I stay, whether in politics, whether in business,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: even as royalty, it is given onto men to only
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: be within.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: The space of their relevance for a season. The law
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: of seasons is a law that comes upon all men.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? It means then, that to live an.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Impactful life, you must be governed by three things. This
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: is my charge, respectfully speaking to his excellency as he
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: approaches the fastal days of his tenure as.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Governor of Acquirbom State.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: This is also a change that extends to every politician,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: every business man, every man of God, and indeed every
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: wonderful son and daughter of the soil. To live a
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: very meaningful life, you must be governed by three factors.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Number one, the fear of the Lord.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: The basis for an excelling life is the fear of
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: the Lord.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The Bible clearly says that the fear of the Lord
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: is the beginning of wisdom.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: That when an individual coordinates his life making reference to
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: his fear for God, the word hear their means reverence.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: It is important that we live our lives to honor God,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: knowing that one day we will stand before God. Number two,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you must be guided by conscience.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Conscience.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Number three, you must be guided by a sense of
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: posterity and legacy. Back in the seminary, we used to
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: sing a song that says, thus will we pass from
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the earth and it's toilet? It says only remembered by
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: what we have done. We are not the first to
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: be in disposition, any position you choose at.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: All, and we will not be the last.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: In the state, leaders will come and go. In this state,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: business people.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Will come and go.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Like I said earlier, in the nation, leaders will come
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: and go.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: My charge with all.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Every sense of respect and honor to the leaders, the
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: excellencies here present, the men the women of God. The
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: businessman's take hold as captains of industry is that we
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: must make up our minds that we will leave a
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: legacy that is worth it if and when we are
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: no longer here.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I made up my mind as a man of God
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: that I would live my life serving the purposes of
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: God with sincerity and truth, making my own contributions as
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: far as the revelation of Jesus is concerned, and helping
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: to contribute the quota that I can make in nation building,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: without any sense of prejudice or bias, with a sense
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: of conscience and the fear of the Lord.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: This has been my creed and it remains so.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I count it an honor to be here to celebrate
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: with a quai bomb on this thirty fifth anniversary, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: it is my prayer and prophetic declaration that by seventy
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: will still be here to celebrate in the name of
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. We're going to do two things with the
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: time I have left before I resort back to my seat,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: and please, I want you to lend me your attention
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: one more time. I am a man of God and
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: a preacher. That means I believe in Jesus.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Christ and his entire plan, and every.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Opportunity that God provides for me to share with God's people,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: it is always an opportunity to not only reveal Jesus,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: but to connect someone back to Jesus, who is the
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: God of the Bible. The Bible already told us to
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: look onto Jesus. He calls him the author and the
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: finisher of our faith. The Bible also says that God
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: will only keep that which is committed onto him.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I believe with all.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: My heart that standing and sitting here among the thousands
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: of people and the thousands watching by way of television
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: or the Internet, I believe there's someone in this place
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: who is say an apostle. On hearing you teach, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: confess that I do not know Jesus. This Jesus, you
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: are talking about I have heard about him from preachers.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I have heard about him from my governor. I have
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: heard about him from visionary leaders. I've heard about him
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: maybe by way of television or internet. But I have
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: not made a personal decision for Jesus. May I please
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: request that you give me a two minutes allowance to
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: make this call.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Even if it is one person who would come to Jesus.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Tonight and this day, I believe it will be an
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: honor and a completion of a faithful assignment done. I
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: do not want to just come and let my voice
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: with the beautiful people of acquir Bomb and even his
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: excellency to celebrate the mighty hand of God over this state,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: which is a noble task. But I want to give
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: an opportunity for someone, and please hear me in making
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: this call. It does not matter if you are a politician.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: It does not matter if you're a business person.

  Speaker 2: It does not matter if you are a captain of industry.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: One day we are going to stand before this Jesus.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: The Bible clearly says that this same Jesus will return,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: even as we have seen him at send. He is
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: the reason why we are celebrating thirty five years, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I want you to know that one day this life
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: will be over with all its activities. Scattered across are
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: people who are being convicted of the Holy Spirit. And
