Speaker 1: Apostolic ministry is ecumenical flay.
0:34
Speaker 2: Amen.
0:36
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm going to be quite brief tonight.
0:42
Speaker 3: I'm so excited, particularly that this is a meeting for
0:47
Speaker 3: men and we can have this attendance of men in
0:53
Speaker 3: one night, and this is a revivor. Yeah, I can
0:58
Speaker 3: tell you I personally don't talk an men's beating. I
1:03
Speaker 3: don't have the energy. The last one I did was
1:09
Speaker 3: twenty ten, that's fifteen years ago. They didn't come. They
1:18
Speaker 3: didn't come. Unfortunately, I fixed a football match after the
1:28
Speaker 3: World session, so about two or three that came with
1:32
Speaker 3: your shots and boots and the guest minister was looking
1:36
Speaker 3: at me. So I've not recovered from that trauma. So
1:41
Speaker 3: I noticed, is God giving me the opportunity to held.
1:45
Speaker 2: Amen?
1:47
Speaker 3: All right, So I've been given a very interesting subject
1:52
Speaker 3: to speak on, but I just decided to trick it
1:56
Speaker 3: a bit to I'm fit into some of the things.
2:06
Speaker 3: I believe is the body behind this meeting. So I'm
2:10
Speaker 3: going to be speaking briefly on the subject that is
2:13
Speaker 3: titled the portrait of a good man. The portrait of
2:21
Speaker 3: a good man, in other words, what a good man
2:25
Speaker 3: looks like. And I like us to place on our
2:31
Speaker 3: bibles if we can to the book of Genesis. Genesis
2:39
Speaker 3: is the first book of the Bible. If you don't know,
2:44
Speaker 3: and you didn't come after a tacole, then if you
2:50
Speaker 3: see us after this service, just a very quick meeting,
2:55
Speaker 3: I want to read quickly Genesis chapter number one. We're
3:03
Speaker 3: going to start reading from verse twenty six, which popular scripture.
3:16
Speaker 3: Then God said, let us make money in our image
3:22
Speaker 3: according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the
3:30
Speaker 3: fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,
3:34
Speaker 3: over the cattle, over all the heads, and over every
3:38
Speaker 3: creeping thing that creeps on the head. Now, Genesis one
3:43
Speaker 3: twenty six looks very simple until you read Genesis one,
3:48
Speaker 3: verse twenty five, which gives us better understanding of Genesis one,
3:53
Speaker 3: verse twenty six, And God made the beast. Can you
3:56
Speaker 3: give me in King James, the normal King James?
4:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:03
Speaker 3: And God made the beast of the head after his kind,
4:06
Speaker 3: and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth
4:10
Speaker 3: upon the head after his kind.
4:12
Speaker 2: And God saw that it was what good?
4:17
Speaker 3: Now, if you understand that, then you can also understand
4:23
Speaker 3: that what God was simply doing in Genesis one twenty six,
4:26
Speaker 3: having made the cattle after their kind, every beast of
4:30
Speaker 3: the field after their kind, is to make his own kind.
4:36
Speaker 3: Man is not mankind, is godkind. That's exactly what God
4:43
Speaker 3: was doing. I want to look down into the head
4:50
Speaker 3: and see a perfect reflection of myself. But to everything
4:58
Speaker 3: that God made you start the reading from Genesis chapter
5:01
Speaker 3: number one. Rest then, and God called the dry land
5:08
Speaker 3: head and the garden to go up, the waters called
5:11
Speaker 3: the seas, and God saw that it was good. And
5:18
Speaker 3: as you keep reading, for all the things that God made,
5:21
Speaker 3: you see and God saw, and God saw that it
5:24
Speaker 3: was good. Genesis one eating God, so it was good.
5:27
Speaker 3: Genesis one twenty one. God, so that was good. And
5:31
Speaker 3: everything God made it place his stamp on them good.
5:39
Speaker 2: Except when He made man. It looks as though.
5:44
Speaker 3: God made the fish of the sea, and God saw
5:47
Speaker 3: it was good. He made the beds of the hair,
5:49
Speaker 3: and God saw it was good. He made everything that
5:52
Speaker 3: was creeping, and God saw it was good. He made
5:54
Speaker 3: the sun, the moon, the starts, the consolations, and God
5:58
Speaker 3: saw it was good. And when He made man, suddenly
6:04
Speaker 3: there was no remark, because the stamp of satisfaction on
6:15
Speaker 3: man is not a product of existence. Man will not
6:23
Speaker 3: hand that stamp of satisfaction because its existence. And God
6:29
Speaker 3: made man. So let us make man in our image
6:35
Speaker 3: after likeness, let them not him. Let them have dominion
6:43
Speaker 3: over the fish of the sea, and over the fall
6:46
Speaker 3: of the heath, and over every cattle, and over all
6:49
Speaker 3: the heads, and over every creeping in the head. So
6:52
Speaker 3: God made man in his own image, in the image
6:55
Speaker 3: of God, created in him, male and female created he them,
7:01
Speaker 3: and God bless them.
7:04
Speaker 2: That that's a very.
7:06
Speaker 3: Very strong one, because from the beginning the intention is,
7:14
Speaker 3: if you want.
7:15
Speaker 2: To know what God look like, look at man.
7:20
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, instead of commendation or God
7:23
Speaker 3: looking at man to comment man. That the probably first
7:26
Speaker 3: word we heard from God about whether good or bad
7:30
Speaker 3: was again as it's too when God it is not
7:32
Speaker 3: good that the man should be alone. That's the first word,
7:39
Speaker 3: is that it is not good that the man should
7:43
Speaker 3: be alone. Now, let me give you a bit of
7:47
Speaker 3: a breakdown. One of the first questions you want to
7:57
Speaker 3: ask is what was God think when he said, let's
8:02
Speaker 3: make man? Before everyone goes to work. You have a
8:10
Speaker 3: perfect image in your mind. So what was God exactly
8:16
Speaker 3: thinking about when he said and the word let us
8:20
Speaker 3: make man? If you really amplified, it is the Father,
8:23
Speaker 3: the Son, and the Holy goes.
8:25
Speaker 2: It is pluial, so it means.
8:30
Speaker 3: There is a man, is a conserted beam of the
8:35
Speaker 3: reflection of the Godhead, and that's so big.
8:43
Speaker 2: Before he said let us.
8:45
Speaker 3: Make money, he had a very clear picture of what
8:48
Speaker 3: he had in mind, and everything else he made he
8:56
Speaker 3: exercised or demonstrated his satisfaction in them. So when he
9:03
Speaker 3: got to the tone of man, there was a measure
9:06
Speaker 3: of silence. When God made man. He never said good?
9:11
Speaker 3: Why simple? I told you the other time because the
9:17
Speaker 3: intention or the purpose for the creation of man cannot
9:21
Speaker 3: be satisfied by his existence alone. So the fact that
9:26
Speaker 3: you have buried in your nostrils doesn't mean you meet
9:30
Speaker 3: the reason why you were created.
9:32
Speaker 2: That's what that means.
9:34
Speaker 3: The fact that you are alive and you walk down
9:37
Speaker 3: the streets or you do everything that a living being
9:41
Speaker 3: should do doesn't mean that the exact image that God
9:47
Speaker 3: had in his mind has been met.
9:54
Speaker 2: Now, pay attention to this.
10:03
Speaker 3: Why did God look at the sun, the moon, the stars,
10:11
Speaker 3: the sea and everything and say good? Simple because they
10:18
Speaker 3: have no ability to deviate from their purpose of existence.
10:24
Speaker 2: They have no will power.
10:26
Speaker 3: They will not change, They will not stop executing the
10:32
Speaker 3: reason why they were created. They will always meet those needs,
10:37
Speaker 3: they will always perform those functions.
10:41
Speaker 2: So God can look at them. What they were then
10:44
Speaker 2: is what they are now, and that's what they will
10:46
Speaker 2: always be. And in that.
10:51
Speaker 3: Measure, God can conclusively look at them, You're good and
10:57
Speaker 3: you're okay. As a matter of fact, as we read
11:02
Speaker 3: on the book of Genesis, we go down to Genes
11:04
Speaker 3: chapter number three, Genesis four, Genesis five, the next thing
11:09
Speaker 3: you begin to see was that God began to regret
11:13
Speaker 3: why he made man. As I read the book of Genesis,
11:20
Speaker 3: phrase five. Books were quite scary that the first man
11:24
Speaker 3: I exited the world was a product of Mother. And
11:29
Speaker 3: you see the reason why God was not quick to
11:33
Speaker 3: put a.
11:33
Speaker 2: Stamp that this is good.
11:40
Speaker 3: What exactly did God have in mind when he made man?
11:44
Speaker 3: Number one, we see that in Genesis one, verse twenty six,
11:48
Speaker 3: an excellent reflection of himself, an excellent a reflection of himself,
11:58
Speaker 3: one that satisfied actually reflects the nature of God. As
12:05
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, if you read that Genesis one,
12:07
Speaker 3: verse twenty six in message, I like the media to
12:10
Speaker 3: please help me. Genesis one, verse twenty six in message translation,
12:14
Speaker 3: look at what God said. God spoke, let us make
12:18
Speaker 3: human beings in our image, make them reflects in our nature,
12:25
Speaker 3: so they can be responsible for the fish of the sea,
12:28
Speaker 3: the birds of the hair, the cattule, and yes, the
12:31
Speaker 3: hat itself. So man was made in God's nature to
12:37
Speaker 3: take touch.
12:40
Speaker 2: It is a responsible being.
12:43
Speaker 3: And I've seen people across around the world asks questions,
12:46
Speaker 3: if truly God is real? Why do we have wars?
12:50
Speaker 3: Why are people dying? Why is there so much wickedness
12:54
Speaker 3: in the world. You wear stories and see some very
12:59
Speaker 3: terri Both things happened. You asked, where is God? Any
13:06
Speaker 3: two thousand and five year Legos, something happened around on
13:20
Speaker 3: the tod Meiland Bridge. A young man was riding his
13:27
Speaker 3: bike and he mistakenly, it's the vehicle of a man.
13:36
Speaker 3: The man stepped out of his vehicle out of hunger.
13:41
Speaker 3: A naval officer brought out his gun and shot the
13:44
Speaker 3: young man in his forehead, and the guy died was
13:50
Speaker 3: carried by the Sun newspaper. A few days later they
13:55
Speaker 3: brought another news that the boy that was killed, the
14:00
Speaker 3: father died while the mother was pregnant, and the mother
14:04
Speaker 3: died during delivery. And that's the only son of two
14:09
Speaker 3: dead parents, and yet taken out of the world like that.
14:15
Speaker 2: And you asked, why is the world so cooled? Where
14:18
Speaker 2: is God?
14:19
Speaker 3: While all these things are happening? Why should people die young?
14:23
Speaker 3: Why should women lose their pregnancies? Why are the wicked
14:27
Speaker 3: driving and good people dying young? Where is God? The
14:32
Speaker 3: question is not where is God? The question is where's
14:35
Speaker 3: the manager? You see? When God was done making everything,
14:41
Speaker 3: the Bible use a very tricky word. The Bible said,
14:43
Speaker 3: and God arrested. The rest of God is not a
14:46
Speaker 3: product of hardness. Rest is what you have when principles.
14:51
Speaker 2: Are at work. So when the Bible says.
14:55
Speaker 3: God arrested, it means everything in the way the system
15:00
Speaker 3: should be recycled, and things should go, God finished. As
15:04
Speaker 3: far as the earth is concerned, the manager is man.
15:09
Speaker 3: So when things go bad, you don't ask to waste
15:12
Speaker 3: God who acts waste man.
15:15
Speaker 2: The response of God to the cry of every people
15:18
Speaker 2: is a man.
15:20
Speaker 3: When they cried in Egypt, God sent Moses when sin
15:23
Speaker 3: became a problem. He said, Christ, as a man, you
15:28
Speaker 3: are the response of God to someone these tears. Are
15:33
Speaker 3: you following? I'm saying, hey, you are God's response. Many
15:37
Speaker 3: of you who might be asking questions. I didn't like
15:39
Speaker 3: the kind of family I came from. I wish things
15:41
Speaker 3: were better. I wish I had parents who had good legacy.
15:44
Speaker 3: I wish they did this, I wish they do that.
15:46
Speaker 2: Listen.
15:47
Speaker 3: The reason why God please you there is because He
15:49
Speaker 3: has answered their prayers. You are the answer to the
15:53
Speaker 3: darkness in that family. In Genesis one, verse two, when
15:57
Speaker 3: God made the heavens and the earth, the bob was
15:59
Speaker 3: say and the head was without form and void, and
16:03
Speaker 3: darkness was upon the face of the deep. And Genesis
16:07
Speaker 3: one three, God spoke a word, and God said, what
16:11
Speaker 3: let there be ah? Let there be what light? In
16:17
Speaker 3: Matthew four A Matthew five US fourteen, Jesus came and
16:21
Speaker 3: said you. You are the light of this world. So
16:25
Speaker 3: when God said let there be light, it was no
16:28
Speaker 3: sunlight's led there be you. That's the response of God.
16:32
Speaker 3: Light is the first step towards order. If it is
16:37
Speaker 3: still dark, it's because we are not shinning enough. The
16:41
Speaker 3: expectation of creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons,
16:47
Speaker 3: not children. On towards their child is born, on towards
16:51
Speaker 3: his son is given. A child is a liability, a
16:55
Speaker 3: son is an asset. Children are born, but sons are sent.
17:00
Speaker 2: Is that okay?
17:00
Speaker 3: Now, by mere existence, you're a child. You benefit from
17:03
Speaker 3: kingdom realities. Until you mature, you are not sendable. So
17:08
Speaker 3: you are not an answer to the world. If you
17:09
Speaker 3: don't grow, it is in growth a grown one in Christ.
17:15
Speaker 3: And I look at that scripture when pig raise that
17:19
Speaker 3: scripture and look over Ecclesiasis.
17:20
Speaker 2: The war to the land. When the king is a child, and.
17:25
Speaker 3: I just remember the girls who are said, my king,
17:31
Speaker 3: my king, and that king is a child, the children
17:37
Speaker 3: will look deformed.
17:39
Speaker 2: Listen.
17:40
Speaker 3: Sometimes the only things on men contribute to the next
17:42
Speaker 3: generation is good genius, fine face, good stature. And they
17:47
Speaker 3: deformed their minds because they are still children.
17:52
Speaker 2: Because they have refused to grow.
17:54
Speaker 3: A man is God's response to the chaos on the head,
18:00
Speaker 3: and that's why the devil will do everything to make
18:03
Speaker 3: sure the maleman is down. We saw the intentions the
18:07
Speaker 3: book of Exodos. When Favor was speaking, he spoke to
18:12
Speaker 3: the midwives. It is when the evil women do their
18:16
Speaker 3: duty in the liboralom. Kill the boys.
18:19
Speaker 2: Kill them and keep the girls alive. Kill the boys.
18:26
Speaker 3: They must not get out of that place. Kill them.
18:29
Speaker 3: I like to tell every man here, the devil wants
18:31
Speaker 3: you out. He wants to knock you out. He wants
18:36
Speaker 3: your health to feel. He wants to shut down your existence.
18:41
Speaker 3: You wonder the reason why there are a few grandpas
18:43
Speaker 3: and more Grammars, Because the devil knows that if a
18:48
Speaker 3: man gets it right, a generation will get it right.
18:52
Speaker 3: He knows that you have not really got in the family.
18:55
Speaker 3: You have not got in the head of the family.
18:57
Speaker 3: He knows the principle is simple. Strike the shepherd and
19:01
Speaker 3: the ship will walk scatter. Some of us have been
19:06
Speaker 3: out on the street. Next week we launch a rehabilitation
19:14
Speaker 3: center in Abuja for people who are hooked on drugs,
19:19
Speaker 3: prostitute on the street.
19:20
Speaker 2: And I can tell.
19:21
Speaker 3: You the number one problem of man now, apart from
19:26
Speaker 3: seeing is missing fathers. When men are missing, when the
19:33
Speaker 3: foundation is out, they'll be collapsed and the building will collapse.
19:37
Speaker 3: There'll be a wreckage when fathers are not doing their
19:41
Speaker 3: duties or you can't find them. In the Bible saying
19:44
Speaker 3: of Ezekiel thirty four that my sheep has become a
19:47
Speaker 3: meat for every beast of the field. Why because the
19:52
Speaker 3: shepherd won't do their duties. A few times I've heard
19:56
Speaker 3: some married women cry out and say what like, how
20:01
Speaker 3: can I be pregnant and my husband can't even take
20:04
Speaker 3: a moment to professor over the child? How can I
20:09
Speaker 3: be pregnant and my husband has never spoken words over me?
20:14
Speaker 3: What kind of a man is that that will never
20:16
Speaker 3: take initiative to say, let us go to church.
20:21
Speaker 2: When the king is a child?
20:24
Speaker 3: And I love what doctor Cole said that when a
20:27
Speaker 3: man is a child, the woman is forced to become
20:29
Speaker 3: a mother has a very very strong word. It is
20:37
Speaker 3: not age that makes a boy a man.
20:40
Speaker 2: It is grud.
20:43
Speaker 3: And growth sometimes doesn't come with age, it comes with revelation.
20:49
Speaker 3: You can have a young man, you can have a
20:51
Speaker 3: very old boy.
21:00
Speaker 2: Ask your neighbor. Are you a young man, old boy?
21:10
Speaker 3: I don't say I said anything. There used to be
21:18
Speaker 3: a boy around us while I grew up. In the note,
21:24
Speaker 3: this boy has been lustigated from about three schools. The
21:31
Speaker 3: boy was around age seven. You already had that track record,
21:36
Speaker 3: and they told us that the only a teacher is
21:38
Speaker 3: flogging the boy. By the time you had done your
21:41
Speaker 3: phone or your money is missing, he was still it
21:46
Speaker 3: in the process. So one time I took it upon
21:50
Speaker 3: myself to go see his parents and talk to them.
21:54
Speaker 3: And I got to the house and I saw, I knocked,
22:00
Speaker 3: nobody was coming out. I entered and I saw the boy.
22:05
Speaker 3: So this particular boy, I forgot to say. One of
22:09
Speaker 3: the reason why the way send them out of those
22:11
Speaker 3: schools was because when girls are going to the restroom,
22:14
Speaker 3: you will follow them and you'll be touching those girls
22:17
Speaker 3: their private part and all that. When I got to
22:20
Speaker 3: their pallor, I saw the boy and two of his
22:27
Speaker 3: elder brothers together seated on their big screen in their
22:32
Speaker 3: pallor watching porn. Where's your dad's gone out to? Where
22:41
Speaker 3: they don't know? You read the story of the mad
22:44
Speaker 3: Man of Gaddar. Always in the tombs, you know what
22:49
Speaker 3: that means. Men who enjoyed the company of those who
22:52
Speaker 3: are dead in their scenes enjoyed the company of dead men.
22:59
Speaker 3: If a manders away from the part of understanding, he
23:02
Speaker 3: will abide in the congregation of the dead. That's what
23:06
Speaker 3: the Bible says. A man closes from work by six,
23:12
Speaker 3: the little time he has to bond with the family,
23:16
Speaker 3: he will bath where is it, going to the tomb, to.
23:22
Speaker 2: Some peth and be there.
23:26
Speaker 3: He's standing on his feeto cocolutes, concolutes, concoloo. Some girls
23:32
Speaker 3: are passing. Bible says that the girls that they are
23:37
Speaker 3: fit are bites, not in their own house, and there
23:41
Speaker 3: will be. He will spend the money, doesn't have to
23:45
Speaker 3: impress people who don't like him, and like the madman
23:51
Speaker 3: of Gadar, will come back frustrated and begin to curt himself.
23:58
Speaker 3: When two has become one beats his wife. Some children's
24:03
Speaker 3: have been scarred because the men who brought them to
24:08
Speaker 3: this world don't know much about it means to be
24:12
Speaker 3: a dad. That you're a father doesn't mean you're a dad.
24:18
Speaker 3: Anybody can reproduce. It's the characteri'stic of living things's part
24:27
Speaker 3: of it.
24:29
Speaker 4: Snails reproduce goods, reproduce donkeys, reproduce cats, produce snakes, produce that.
24:39
Speaker 2: A woman can get pregnant doesn't mean you're a man. Men,
24:43
Speaker 2: not you. That's what Dad's do.
24:46
Speaker 4: I'm not.
24:50
Speaker 3: I didn't say anything. Once I'm done, I'm great. Number two?
24:58
Speaker 3: What exactly did God have in mind when they made
25:01
Speaker 3: man a creation of complete dominion? Lord wants us to
25:07
Speaker 3: exercise dominion, not to be conquered, conquered by fear. Even
25:13
Speaker 3: though we don't look like it, Many men are freed.
25:19
Speaker 3: What is my future going to be like? I hope
25:23
Speaker 3: I will not end up like my father. I hope
25:26
Speaker 3: I will be able to break the limits in the family.
25:31
Speaker 3: Will my children not on their back on me? Will
25:36
Speaker 3: I be able to give them the quality of life
25:40
Speaker 3: that I did not get? Will I be able to
25:44
Speaker 3: erase the next generation to stand better chance than I got.
25:50
Speaker 3: When you understand dominion, you understand that work in it,
25:54
Speaker 3: you have to work by faith. Itbus eleven, verse six,
25:58
Speaker 3: For without faith, it is impossible to please God. For
26:01
Speaker 3: it that they that come to Hi must first believe
26:03
Speaker 3: that He is and is the reward of them that
26:05
Speaker 3: was diligently seeking faith doesn't mean you are not afraid.
26:10
Speaker 3: It means you do it regardless faith or does it
26:17
Speaker 3: mean to work in dominion. It means to walk by
26:19
Speaker 3: the power of endless life. We have dominion over debt,
26:25
Speaker 3: We have dominion over sickness. We have dominion over failure
26:28
Speaker 3: in our minds. Every now and then we hear about
26:35
Speaker 3: different strange diseases. When God says have dominion over the
26:39
Speaker 3: fish of the sea, over the birds of their sometimes
26:42
Speaker 3: I want to maybe have a medical interpretation to that
26:45
Speaker 3: that any pathogen coming from any of these terrestrial habitats,
26:49
Speaker 3: we have dominions over them.
26:51
Speaker 2: We have domin over.
26:52
Speaker 3: Every form of sickness, theabetes, cancer, prostate issue. Test dominion
26:57
Speaker 3: in Christ and hear it mean to that. So the
27:02
Speaker 3: man that God had in mind is a being of dominion.
27:06
Speaker 3: He said, our dominion exercises. You are not to be afraid.
27:12
Speaker 3: Fear is a setup. Job said what I feared.
27:16
Speaker 2: Greatly as finally come.
27:21
Speaker 3: When you're afraid, you show the devil the area as
27:24
Speaker 3: it can afflict you. There was one thing Job was
27:27
Speaker 3: never afraid of losing, and he didn't lose it. The
27:31
Speaker 3: devil taught talked with take away everything.
27:35
Speaker 2: That brought him comfort.
27:37
Speaker 3: Anything he could take that would make him cry, the
27:40
Speaker 3: devil took it.
27:42
Speaker 2: You wonder why Debul did not take away his wife.
27:47
Speaker 3: It didn't matter to him. And by the thing he said,
27:51
Speaker 3: he must have seen that. Okay, that's why I was
27:52
Speaker 3: never afraid of losing her. But I fared greatly, so
27:57
Speaker 3: I shared this woman living a long like this out.
28:03
Speaker 3: If those of you are not married, I hear your
28:06
Speaker 3: hands will not be wrongly joined in marriage. Fear is
28:12
Speaker 3: you leaking the secret to the devil. Don't be afraid.
28:18
Speaker 3: And that's the world God that will tell jo so
28:21
Speaker 3: again and again, as I was with Moses, I will
28:23
Speaker 3: be with you. Only be thou courageous. Men need to
28:27
Speaker 3: be bold. We don't strive our fears, but we have them.
28:33
Speaker 3: They reflecting the choice of our careers. They reflecting the
28:36
Speaker 3: way we pursue them. They reflecting the way we post
28:39
Speaker 3: you life. We just want relevance. Don't be afraid. Let
28:46
Speaker 3: me jump quickly for the sake of time. The todd
28:53
Speaker 3: thing God had in mind when they made man is
28:56
Speaker 3: a being, the function by the power of the blessing.
29:02
Speaker 2: When God made man, the Bible said, and God blessed
29:05
Speaker 2: them what does it.
29:08
Speaker 3: Meant to function by the force or the power of
29:11
Speaker 3: the blessing. It is to be authorized to do well.
29:16
Speaker 3: The blessing is God's authorization to do well.
29:21
Speaker 2: You are blessed. I didn't get it. Men to that.
29:25
Speaker 3: Put your hands on your head, said again, I am blessed.
29:29
Speaker 3: You are not saying like one is convinced. Say it again,
29:33
Speaker 3: I am blessed.
29:37
Speaker 2: Now hold on a minute.
29:38
Speaker 3: When Jacob stood in front of Isaac in Genesis twenty seven,
29:45
Speaker 3: verse twenty seven, Verbile says, and Isaac dream close and
29:48
Speaker 3: smelled the smell of his wayments and said, the smell
29:53
Speaker 3: of my son is as the smell of a field.
29:56
Speaker 2: That the Lord is blessed. That's a powerful word. Look
29:59
Speaker 2: at verse twenty.
30:00
Speaker 3: Therefore, God give you of the dew from heaven and
30:07
Speaker 3: the fatness of the head. It is not the fatness
30:10
Speaker 3: of the head first, It is the dew from heaven.
30:13
Speaker 3: It is the dew that you carry that conditions your reality. Listen,
30:18
Speaker 3: there are no greener pastures. It is men who carry
30:21
Speaker 3: this dew that makes environment green. Men who understand the
30:25
Speaker 3: blessing don't go look for greener pastures. Hear me, you
30:29
Speaker 3: are not changing countries for opportunity. It is purposed that
30:33
Speaker 3: changes your location, not opportunities.
30:36
Speaker 2: Where you understand the blessing.
30:38
Speaker 3: The blessing is God's authorization that where people don't drive,
30:42
Speaker 3: you drive. Without the blessing, you merely survive. You most
30:46
Speaker 3: understand that when what's his name now numbers certain number
30:51
Speaker 3: twenty three, Ballack was employed to curse Israel, like he said,
30:56
Speaker 3: I cannot curse who the Lord is blessed. Therefore there
31:01
Speaker 3: is no definition against Israel. Neither is the enchantment against Jacob.
31:06
Speaker 3: You can't curse a man God is blessed. In Genesis
31:11
Speaker 3: twenty seven, when Isaac made an end of blessing Jacob
31:16
Speaker 3: and he's saw worked in me. He's so, said bless
31:19
Speaker 3: me too. Father, Do you have just one blessing? He said,
31:22
Speaker 3: it's my brother, not so Planter has his name. He's
31:25
Speaker 3: stolen my blessing. Isaac said, I have blessed him, and
31:30
Speaker 3: he shall be blessed, meaning that when a man is blessed,
31:34
Speaker 3: you can't pass him. There is no such thing as
31:41
Speaker 3: I'm carrying generational curse. It is only effective to the
31:46
Speaker 3: degree that you don't understand the blessing, and why you
31:50
Speaker 3: say the national cause, which generation, Because if any man
31:54
Speaker 3: be in Christ.
31:56
Speaker 2: He is a new creator.
31:58
Speaker 3: Oh thanks, I passed away. Behold all things are new.
32:05
Speaker 3: So there's no there's no suchness in my family. There's
32:08
Speaker 3: a pattern of diabetes. Which blood line. We've been chased completely.
32:16
Speaker 3: This is the portrait of the man.
32:19
Speaker 2: That God made. What's the fourth one? Are you still
32:22
Speaker 2: with me?
32:27
Speaker 3: The fourth thing God had in mind is that man
32:32
Speaker 3: will be a true foundation. God made man in his
32:37
Speaker 3: own email Genesis one, verse twenty six. Male and female
32:43
Speaker 3: created them? Why male and female are not female and
32:47
Speaker 3: male male?
32:49
Speaker 2: First? Because that's the foundation.
32:52
Speaker 3: In first covinterance Sriverston Paul said, as a wise master builder,
32:56
Speaker 3: I have laid the foundation, the world foundation. There's the
32:59
Speaker 3: word is. The word similar is that's let me pronounce.
33:04
Speaker 3: That's the pronunciation from the word team template template. That's
33:12
Speaker 3: the word template that if a man gets it right,
33:15
Speaker 3: it becomes the coordinate. It doesn't matter your intention and
33:19
Speaker 3: the amount of money you have. If the foundation is wrong,
33:23
Speaker 3: it will restrict your spending. The idea of God is
33:27
Speaker 3: that man becomes the core foundation for his work. Foundations
33:32
Speaker 3: have no business with beauty. Foundation has business with strength.
33:37
Speaker 3: That's all that matters that the foundation is strong. The
33:40
Speaker 3: wife and the children can stand on that core, and
33:45
Speaker 3: they will not think you are a priest.
33:50
Speaker 2: By being a man.
33:52
Speaker 3: God isn't trusting you with the ability to carry destinies.
33:57
Speaker 3: Look at what Jacob said in Genesis forty nine. He said,
34:00
Speaker 3: goude yourselves in, sons of Jacob, that I may tell
34:04
Speaker 3: you what will be for you in the last days.
34:06
Speaker 3: He was telling them, he said, I want to tell
34:08
Speaker 3: you what your life will look like.
34:11
Speaker 2: And he called Ruben.
34:12
Speaker 3: He said, Reuben, you're my firstborn, the beginning of my strength,
34:17
Speaker 3: my might, the excellence of dignity. Say about your unstable
34:20
Speaker 3: as what? And he said, you would not excel. That's
34:23
Speaker 3: a man. He cursed them in deuteronometer editory. Then the
34:29
Speaker 3: man of God. You are a man of God called
34:33
Speaker 3: Moses kim and iregarded the sons of Jacob cay, I
34:38
Speaker 3: said this to you. If families have gathered you wrongly,
34:41
Speaker 3: God will use the church to regard house. Heregarded the
34:46
Speaker 3: sons of Jacob. And he said, Reuben, come, Lets Uben
34:51
Speaker 3: live and not die.
34:55
Speaker 2: Let his men not be few.
34:58
Speaker 3: And he rearranged what the father Jacob did wrongly fathers
35:06
Speaker 3: are read distributors of inheritances.
35:09
Speaker 2: And that's what he did.
35:11
Speaker 3: The first time we're going to be hearing God used
35:15
Speaker 3: the word good on man. He took over four thousand
35:21
Speaker 3: years and we saw something and Matthew, and that's why
35:25
Speaker 3: I'm going to be closing Matthew chapter number.
35:30
Speaker 2: Three.
35:32
Speaker 3: If you have your Bible, stand it there, Matthew chapter
35:35
Speaker 3: number three, and we're going to read. If you're there,
35:43
Speaker 3: say man, Matthew three. We read from verse sixteen and seventeen.
35:49
Speaker 3: Matthew three, Verse sixteen and seventeen. And Jesus, when it
35:53
Speaker 3: was baptized, went up straightway out of the water, and.
35:56
Speaker 2: Low the heavens were opened onto him.
36:00
Speaker 3: And he saw the spirit of God descending like a
36:03
Speaker 3: dove and lighten upon him, and a voice, Louis voice
36:07
Speaker 3: from eavone saying, this is my beloved, so.
36:11
Speaker 2: In whom I am well pleased.
36:14
Speaker 3: The mark of satisfaction endorsed here him. And the first
36:20
Speaker 3: time God used the mark of endorsement on a man,
36:22
Speaker 3: he turned the world upside down. Imagine if ten million
36:26
Speaker 3: men can get it right, the world will never remain
36:31
Speaker 3: the same.
36:31
Speaker 2: This is the portrait of a good man. The one who.
36:34
Speaker 3: Carries the blessing reflects God's image perfectly, the one who
36:38
Speaker 3: is a solid foundation people who turn realities. Aron, put
36:43
Speaker 3: your hands on your head, say, from this moment, I
36:47
Speaker 3: will never remain the same. I become a major force
36:53
Speaker 3: that changed the coordinates.
36:55
Speaker 2: Of human existence.
36:57
Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus, I am man first, oh.
37:02
Speaker 2: That God has in his mind.
37:05
Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus, I become a worthy templates for.
37:10
Speaker 2: The next generation.
37:12
Speaker 3: I exemplify what it means for God to have a man.
37:17
Speaker 2: I carry his blessing. I am not merdy surviving. I
37:22
Speaker 2: tried in all that I do.
37:24
Speaker 3: This blessing makes room for me where athers are stranded.
37:29
Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus, I walk even on the
37:33
Speaker 3: face of the heads, and I create opportunities. Now hear me,
37:39
Speaker 3: when a man understands this blessing, the Bible says, out
37:43
Speaker 3: of his belly flows revers. You know, most times when
37:48
Speaker 3: we hear that scripture, we think about the rivers allly
37:51
Speaker 3: in terms of spiritual capital and the old days, the
37:55
Speaker 3: baute civilization around body of waters. When a man carries rivers,
38:00
Speaker 3: people build settlements around you.
38:04
Speaker 2: You become.
38:06
Speaker 3: You don't join the world about the fact that there
38:08
Speaker 3: is no employment. The stream flowing from you creates it.
38:13
Speaker 2: It creates it.
38:15
Speaker 3: Men I employed because your ideas are to be trapped.
38:19
Speaker 3: Men I employed because your ideas are to be executed.
38:22
Speaker 2: Men I become a working institution.
38:25
Speaker 3: You do. I'm bag.
38:27
Speaker 2: You are a braid of dominion. You don't bag.
38:31
Speaker 3: And guess what we have the covenant of life in Christ.
38:34
Speaker 3: We don't die young. Our templates said in John nineteen
38:40
Speaker 3: thirty it is finished. You are not permitted to go
38:43
Speaker 3: till you finish.

38:55
Speaker 3: go and conquer and bring the Kingdom of God.
38:58
Speaker 2: To the head.
39:00
Speaker 3: Dies in your hands in the name of Jesus. Stretch
39:04
Speaker 3: out your two hands. The spirit of fear dies here
39:06
Speaker 3: now in the name of Jesus. Any family that is
39:10
Speaker 3: in crisis at the moment received the wisdom and the
39:14
Speaker 3: largeness of art to solve it in the name of Jesus.
39:18
Speaker 3: Because of you, the next generation wants to save Jesus.

39:25
