Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Whilst standing, I want us to please honor Drmospheenwa. Thank
- 0:04Speaker 2: you sir, such a profoundly humble man of God. I
- 0:10Speaker 2: counted a privilege to be here. I thank God for
- 0:14Speaker 2: the relationship that God has given. And I've said it
- 0:17Speaker 2: and I will say it again that aside from being
- 0:20Speaker 2: a mighty prophet of God and many other things, he
- 0:23Speaker 2: is truly a good man, truly a good man, allelujah.
- 0:30Speaker 1: And so thank you, thank you for the honor.
- 0:33Speaker 2: And this is a minister and leader session, and I
- 0:38Speaker 2: trust that in addition to all that we have learned,
- 0:40Speaker 2: God is going to be opening our eyes. We rise
- 0:44Speaker 2: only to the degree to which our light comes. Allelujah.
- 0:49Speaker 2: He says that you a rise and you shine, for
- 0:51Speaker 2: your light is come. Conferences like this are so designed
- 0:56Speaker 2: to address areas of ignorance so that God will grant
- 1:01Speaker 2: us grace. And since this is a ministers and a
- 1:05Speaker 2: leader's session, and trusting and believing and assuming that everyone
- 1:09Speaker 2: here is a captain over fifty, over one hundred, over thousands,
- 1:15Speaker 2: that means everything you're learning, you are learning for your
- 1:17Speaker 2: sake and the sake of the people that you lead.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Can we cry onto the Lord to give us wisdom
- 1:24Speaker 2: within a minute or two. Father, give me wisdom. Go
- 1:28Speaker 2: ahead and pray. The Bible says, does any man lack wisdom,
- 1:34Speaker 2: he says, to ask of the Lord that give it
- 1:36Speaker 2: onto all men liberally. Here at this conference, we receive wisdom.
- 1:47Speaker 1: We receive wisdom.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Let my life change, pray, let my ministry change, Let
- 1:57Speaker 2: my business change. Someone praying for in Jesus' mighty name,
- 2:15Speaker 2: we pray, Thank you, Father. We trust your wisdom and
- 2:18Speaker 2: we trust your grace. Even at this session, we pray
- 2:21Speaker 2: that you speak to us and may we rise by light.
- 2:25Speaker 2: For in Jesus' mighty name, we pray, Amen and amen,
- 2:29Speaker 2: please be seated. Thank you, allelujah. I would not want
- 2:37Speaker 2: to repeat some of the things that most likely have
- 2:40Speaker 2: come from other speakers, but just to honor past us request.
- 2:47Speaker 2: He wanted me to talk particularly around two areas. Number one,
- 2:53Speaker 2: the power of systems and structures and then number two,
- 2:57Speaker 2: finance in ministry.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I think that these are.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Two areas where most people have, most leaders and most
- 3:07Speaker 2: organizations have had struggles.
- 3:11Speaker 1: For the average person in ministry.
- 3:13Speaker 2: With our context of today's Christian adventure, I think everyone
- 3:18Speaker 2: who wants to be serious with God, already has systems
- 3:22Speaker 2: in place to help them to be serious with God.
- 3:25Speaker 2: If you want to learn prayer, there is a system
- 3:27Speaker 2: for that. If you want to study scripture and grow sincerely,
- 3:31Speaker 2: there is a system for that. Allelujah, you want to
- 3:35Speaker 2: be serious with God, there is a system for that.
- 3:37Speaker 2: So the Nigerian Church, in the midst of all the
- 3:40Speaker 2: challenges here and there, we have I think we've done
- 3:44Speaker 2: well in terms of creating templates and systems that help
- 3:49Speaker 2: people as far as their spirituality is concerned.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But then when it comes to other.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Aspects like administration, excellence, finances, were still lagging behind very seriously,
- 4:03Speaker 2: and this has deflated the passion of many well intentioned people,
- 4:07Speaker 2: even people in ministry. So a young person begins ministry
- 4:11Speaker 2: with zeal, with passion, with grace, loving God, fasting consecration,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and then you get to a point where the deficiency
- 4:20Speaker 2: of the other side now begins to affect that passion.
- 4:24Speaker 2: You find out that you're a great prayer warrior, great
- 4:28Speaker 2: world giant. And this applies for both ministry and in
- 4:31Speaker 2: any kind of leadership structure. When you start a ministry
- 4:34Speaker 2: and it's not organized, welf of you can meet on
- 4:36Speaker 2: the ground, you can shout around, you can meet in
- 4:38Speaker 2: a parlor. So you don't have any problem with rent,
- 4:41Speaker 2: you don't have any problem with administration. Most likely there's
- 4:44Speaker 2: no teeth among you. Most likely there's no troublemaker among you.
- 4:48Speaker 2: But as the ministry begins to grow, you are confronted
- 4:51Speaker 2: with the reality of leadership. And most times we spiritualize
- 4:55Speaker 2: it and we ignore it by bringing all kinds of
- 4:57Speaker 2: visions and things. But then eventually you will find out
- 5:02Speaker 2: to your shock that as spiritual as you are, as
- 5:06Speaker 2: called as you are, you are not able to scale
- 5:11Speaker 2: beyond a certain degree. You see, ignorance in one area
- 5:16Speaker 2: of the kingdom, or light in an area of the
- 5:20Speaker 2: kingdom will not cover for ignorance in another area of
- 5:24Speaker 2: the kingdom. So if you have light in the area
- 5:29Speaker 2: of say fellowship with the Holy Spirit, it will not
- 5:32Speaker 2: automatically remedy for your ignorance in the area of relationships,
- 5:38Speaker 2: in the area of administration. A way together, there is
- 5:42Speaker 2: something I call a knowing only syndrome. You find that
- 5:47Speaker 2: in Acts chapter eighteen, from verse twenty four, the Bible
- 5:50Speaker 2: talks about a man called Apollos verse twenty four. This
- 5:57Speaker 2: man was born at Alexandria. The Bible called him an
- 6:00Speaker 2: eloquent man. Let's examine for a minute the kind of
- 6:06Speaker 2: qualifications this man had. He was instructed in the way
- 6:11Speaker 2: of the Lord, so he was not a rebel, submitted
- 6:13Speaker 2: himself to mentorship. He was favant in spirit. He spake
- 6:18Speaker 2: and taught diligently the things of the Lord. There was
- 6:21Speaker 2: only one problem with this man. That one problem is
- 6:24Speaker 2: the last line, knowing only. How can a man have
- 6:30Speaker 2: all of these things together? Favent in spirit, eloquent, intelligent.
- 6:37Speaker 2: You would think that kind of person should have everything
- 6:40Speaker 2: in place, But the Bible says he knew only. Go
- 6:43Speaker 2: back to verse twenty five. Knowing only. Everybody said knowing only,
- 6:50Speaker 2: convincingly say, knowing only, I wonder what else we need
- 6:55Speaker 2: to know in addition to what we know. Sometimes what
- 6:58Speaker 2: we know can be the limitation to what we need
- 7:02Speaker 2: to know. Let me show you another example. Act chapter nineteen.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Please from verse one to four, very fearful, scary scripture.
- 7:10Speaker 2: In fact, this is scarier than the first we just read.
- 7:13Speaker 2: And it came to pass while Apollos was at Corn.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Follow carefully, Paul haven't passed through the upper coast. He
- 7:20Speaker 2: came to Eph since the Bible says, and finding certain disciples,
- 7:26Speaker 2: disciples meaning they had already been saved and were under
- 7:30Speaker 2: tutelage or mentorship Verse two. Then he says to them
- 7:34Speaker 2: he took for granted that they should have known some things,
- 7:38Speaker 2: and he said, have you received the Holy go since
- 7:41Speaker 2: you believe? Now you know that this was the moment
- 7:43Speaker 2: where there was such an outpouring in the church. I mean,
- 7:46Speaker 2: it wasn't too long when the Holy Gos fell. There
- 7:49Speaker 2: was revival, our pourings happening. And here are a group
- 7:53Speaker 2: of people on that very structured mentorship.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Now he tells them, have you received the.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Holygo since you believe? Please read with me. Their shocking response,
- 8:01Speaker 2: I ready want to read. And they said, unto him,
- 8:05Speaker 2: we have not so much had whether there be any
- 8:08Speaker 2: Holy ghost my God. So both them and the mentor
- 8:12Speaker 2: what were their learning? That was the dispensation of the
- 8:16Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. He was already finding place. And there were
- 8:20Speaker 2: some zealous people. They were not bad, they were not evil, they.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Were just ignorant.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Paul was surprised, you've not even had They would have
- 8:31Speaker 2: just said, we've not received, we've heard about him, we've
- 8:33Speaker 2: had What was happening. We heard that something happened at
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Upper Room, but they said, we've not even so
- 8:39Speaker 2: much had whether there be any Holy ghost.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Yet they were disciples. I'm showing you this scripture.
- 8:44Speaker 2: To tell you that it is amazing how you can
- 8:47Speaker 2: be full of light in an area and totally ignorant.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Are we together? Now?
- 8:54Speaker 2: The challenge most times with the Body of Christ is
- 8:56Speaker 2: we use the abundance of light in one area to
- 8:59Speaker 2: a traumatically mean that that light serves every other place. No, no,
- 9:07Speaker 2: it is line upon line, precept upon precept. You need
- 9:10Speaker 2: to sustain the requiside level of light that makes you
- 9:14Speaker 2: to excel in every area of life. You believe that's amen.
- 9:20Speaker 2: So when I started my journey with God, because I
- 9:23Speaker 2: came from an evangelical background, my passion was just evangelism,
- 9:29Speaker 2: love for God, and that was it. They didn't have
- 9:32Speaker 2: the privilege of knowing anything about administration, finance, ministry, all
- 9:36Speaker 2: these things.
- 9:37Speaker 1: It was not even my interest.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Our passion was just to first pray, pressing to God
- 9:42Speaker 2: and that was it. And for a while the Lord
- 9:46Speaker 2: allowed that for a spiritual development. But I got to
- 9:49Speaker 2: a point where the Lord began to call me to
- 9:52Speaker 2: let me know that if I continued on that path
- 9:55Speaker 2: without opening my spirit to the other aspects of the kingdom,
- 10:00Speaker 2: eventually the deficiency of this knowledge would affect me in
- 10:04Speaker 2: the future.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And I'm grateful to God that I paid attention now.
- 10:09Speaker 1: With all due.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Respect, I know people across the globe, some in ministry,
- 10:14Speaker 2: some in business, who had a chance to lend the other.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Sides of the kingdom that would have brought.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Balance and holistic excellence to their lives, but either d
- 10:25Speaker 2: to pride or ignorance, or just emotionally holding on to
- 10:29Speaker 2: all they knew, then they refused to open up their hearts.
- 10:32Speaker 2: And for many of these the deficiency is now widespread.
- 10:35Speaker 2: It's clean. Ministry is clear, business is clean leadership. My
- 10:40Speaker 2: prayer for you is that, as you are gathered here
- 10:43Speaker 2: this morning, if there is anything that will cost you
- 10:46Speaker 2: tears in the future, may God address it now. I'm
- 10:50Speaker 2: speaking to a man of God, I'm speaking to a businessman.
- 10:53Speaker 2: It's amazing how little things can cost big effects. A
- 10:58Speaker 2: small key is what opens a big door. A small
- 11:03Speaker 2: pad lock is what locks.
- 11:04Speaker 1: A giant door. A tiny key.
- 11:08Speaker 2: That you can put in your pocket and even take
- 11:10Speaker 2: for granted, is what can kick your car, and if
- 11:13Speaker 2: that kei.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Is missing, as strong as you are.
- 11:16Speaker 2: That car remains. Yet together with you have you had
- 11:20Speaker 2: a key missing and you stood in front. Maybe you
- 11:23Speaker 2: were hungry and the key that opens the door to
- 11:25Speaker 2: the kitchen is missing. You stand angry with food inside
- 11:29Speaker 2: the kitchen, and yet you are and you complain the
- 11:32Speaker 2: door does not listen to you. You are angry, You
- 11:35Speaker 2: blame your wife or your husband. The door still does
- 11:37Speaker 2: not listen. And then later you just remember, ah, I
- 11:41Speaker 2: gave you a spare key to someone else, and you
- 11:44Speaker 2: invite the person to come, and in less than a
- 11:47Speaker 2: minute that door opens with total obedience.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 11:54Speaker 2: First Corinthians, Chapter eight and verse two. First Corinthians, Chapter
- 12:01Speaker 2: eight and verse two.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Let's read together?
- 12:05Speaker 2: One to read please, And if any man think that
- 12:09Speaker 2: he knowed anything, he knowed nothing, Yet as he ought
- 12:15Speaker 2: to know. This scripture blessed my life and delivered me
- 12:19Speaker 2: from pride many years ago. I live perpetually in the
- 12:23Speaker 2: awareness that there is always something more I can know,
- 12:29Speaker 2: And when I find areas of ignorance in my life,
- 12:31Speaker 2: I don't explain it away. I have no time protecting
- 12:35Speaker 2: my ego at the expense of my tomorrow, I throw
- 12:38Speaker 2: it away and open up my hat to learn and
- 12:41Speaker 2: learn fast. This is the reason why I honor and
- 12:44Speaker 2: I appreciate everyone who has come to sit for this conference,
- 12:49Speaker 2: because there are many people here who are senior executives.
- 12:53Speaker 2: There are many people here who are business people already
- 12:55Speaker 2: doing well. There are many people who are already excelling.
- 12:58Speaker 2: That you are seated here does not mean you are limited.
- 13:01Speaker 2: It just means that you have a heart to prays
- 13:03Speaker 2: for more and to learn. You know great people by
- 13:06Speaker 2: their passion for more. I'm praying for you in Jesus'
- 13:09Speaker 2: name that the reward for your discipline sitting at this
- 13:13Speaker 2: conference is to speak immediately after.
- 13:16Speaker 1: This conference.
- 13:18Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, allelujah. So the Bible tells us.
- 13:24Speaker 2: In Proverabs Chapter twenty four, from verse three and four,
- 13:27Speaker 2: it says, through wisdom a house. I wish we can
- 13:30Speaker 2: get the amplified expression. If we don't have that, that's fine.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Proverabs Chapter twenty four, three and four twenty four not
- 13:40Speaker 2: twenty three twenty four, three and four amplified preferably, thank you.
- 13:44Speaker 2: It says, through skillful and godly wisdom.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Is a house a life a home, a.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Family, whatever it is built, and by understanding it is
- 13:58Speaker 2: established on sound and good foundation. Then he says, by knowledge,
- 14:04Speaker 2: Charlite's chambers every area be filled with precious.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And pleasant things.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Let's talk for a few minutes about the power of structures.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 14:19Speaker 2: The first mention of the word church was at a
- 14:23Speaker 2: discussion that Jesus was having with his disciples. That should
- 14:26Speaker 2: be Matthew twenty six, I believe? And instead, who do
- 14:30Speaker 2: men say that I the.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Son of Man am?
- 14:33Speaker 2: And the Bible tells us that They began to debate
- 14:36Speaker 2: among themselves. Some say you are Elijah, some say you
- 14:40Speaker 2: are one of the prophets. Then he looked at them
- 14:42Speaker 2: he said, all right, but who do you say that I,
- 14:45Speaker 2: the son of man are? And they kept quiet, and Peter,
- 14:49Speaker 2: looking at him by the spirit, said.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I know who thou art.
- 14:52Speaker 2: He says, thou art Christ, the son of the Living God.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Jesus replies and says, flesh and blood has not revealed
- 15:02Speaker 2: this to you. Peter, he says, but my father in
- 15:06Speaker 2: heaven Denny says you are, Peter, and not upon this
- 15:10Speaker 2: rock he says, I.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Will build my church.
- 15:16Speaker 2: He uses a very very interesting statement. He never said
- 15:21Speaker 2: I will make my church. He never said I will
- 15:24Speaker 2: birth my church. He said I will build my church.
- 15:29Speaker 2: He uses an architectural and engineering expression when relating to
- 15:36Speaker 2: his body. He says, this church you see will be built.
- 15:40Speaker 2: It would not just happen, It will not just manifest.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Are we together now? And if you understand anything about
- 15:47Speaker 2: building structures, there has to be an architectural design.
- 15:51Speaker 1: There must be a builder.
- 15:53Speaker 2: There are many processes that go on, and then the
- 15:56Speaker 2: actual building. At every point in that building they will
- 16:00Speaker 2: supervise to.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Check compliancy to the plan and everything. All the way.
- 16:05Speaker 2: You do that a lot in your area. Here you've
- 16:07Speaker 2: seen buildings collapse. They were built, but many times they
- 16:11Speaker 2: were not built to specification and as a.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Result they collapsed.
- 16:16Speaker 2: So Jesus says I will build my church, meaning that
- 16:21Speaker 2: Jesus is a builder. And everybody who follows in his
- 16:24Speaker 2: step who must build anything. Build your business, build your home,
- 16:30Speaker 2: build your life. Everything that ever becomes and lasts is built.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Everything that ever becomes and lasts is built. A spiritual
- 16:43Speaker 2: life robust and healthy is built. Ministry thriving and flourishing
- 16:49Speaker 2: is built. Business excelling and leading the field is built.
- 16:54Speaker 2: A home dexteros with great people, great couple is built.
- 17:00Speaker 2: So we have this idea that just because we're Christians.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Things just happen.
- 17:05Speaker 2: No anything at all that will last and speak for
- 17:10Speaker 2: generations is built.
- 17:13Speaker 1: You believe that, alleluja.
- 17:15Speaker 2: And every building has three components, one the foundation, two
- 17:20Speaker 2: the superstructure, and then three all that complete and finish
- 17:24Speaker 2: that structure again. One the foundation. The foundation is usually
- 17:29Speaker 2: the invisible path. You don't see it. That is the
- 17:32Speaker 2: part that is usually not almost not renovatable. You see,
- 17:36Speaker 2: you can renovate a building, but if the foundation is destroyed,
- 17:40Speaker 2: the whole building collapses. You hardly renovate foundations. You can
- 17:44Speaker 2: reinforce it, or you can renovate buildings. Buildings have been
- 17:48Speaker 2: broken to be expanded. But it is based on the
- 17:51Speaker 2: foundation and the kind and the quality of foundation you
- 17:54Speaker 2: build determines the kind of structure.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Is that true.
- 17:58Speaker 2: There are certain buildings you cannot be allowed to build
- 18:01Speaker 2: because of the quality of the foundation. There are certain
- 18:05Speaker 2: foundations that go as deep as a house itself because
- 18:09Speaker 2: of the kind of building.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Allelujah, allelujah.
- 18:14Speaker 2: So when it has to do with excelling in ministry,
- 18:18Speaker 2: you must understand systems and structures, and the foundation for
- 18:24Speaker 2: the excelling of the believer in life and ministry is
- 18:28Speaker 2: your spiritual roots. Please write that down, your spiritual root.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Let's start from there. I don't care what you intend
- 18:36Speaker 2: to do, whether it is to excel in ministry, whether
- 18:39Speaker 2: it's to excel in business, whether it is to excel
- 18:42Speaker 2: in career. In whatever aspect of your life, you are
- 18:46Speaker 2: as powerful as the strength of your spirituality. You are
- 18:50Speaker 2: as powerful as the depth of your spirituality. Now, most
- 18:59Speaker 2: people ignore God and igno spirituality in a bit to excel,
- 19:05Speaker 2: in a bit to increase. Usually, if you're in ministry,
- 19:08Speaker 2: because of your closeness to spirituality. Most ministers are serious
- 19:13Speaker 2: with God, I presume, but when it has to do
- 19:16Speaker 2: with business people and other areas, they usually ignore God
- 19:20Speaker 2: because they feel like God is a nuisance to civilization.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Away together.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I will visit him when I want to do Thanksgiving
- 19:27Speaker 2: or when I want to give Titan offering. But as
- 19:29Speaker 2: far as all I need is just my brain work,
- 19:32Speaker 2: you will be learning that accept the Lord beulty house.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Is that in your Bible? The Bible says they labor
- 19:38Speaker 2: in vain that build it. Accept the Lord who watches
- 19:43Speaker 2: over a city, he said, the watchman watches, but in vain.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Then he says, it is vain to wake up early
- 19:50Speaker 2: in the morning and then to sleep late at night,
- 19:53Speaker 2: only to eat.
- 19:54Speaker 1: The bread of sorrow.
- 19:55Speaker 2: But that God is the only one who can give
- 19:58Speaker 2: his beloved sleep.
- 20:00Speaker 1: We're getting to a.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Time in our world today where the advantage of being
- 20:05Speaker 2: spiritual is becoming glaring in our world that in one
- 20:09Speaker 2: day everything you have can crumble like Joe, except that
- 20:14Speaker 2: you are.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Standing on a show foundation. Are we together?
- 20:17Speaker 2: Technology has not designed a system to manage witches and wizards.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Technology has not design a system to manage hatred. Technology
- 20:26Speaker 2: has not design a system to manage jealousy.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Are we together? Now? All kinds of apps, as.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Modern as they are, they have not mastered the ability
- 20:36Speaker 2: to manage people the wickedness that the Bible says, the
- 20:39Speaker 2: whole world liat in wickedness. Every man's excellence in life
- 20:44Speaker 2: and destiny is at the messy of your spirituality. Because
- 20:48Speaker 2: let me tell you the truth, everything you have and everything.
- 20:51Speaker 1: You build will be tested. Eventually.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Job's life was tested, his wealth was tested, everything was tested.
- 20:58Speaker 2: The one thing he had left was his relationship with
- 21:01Speaker 2: God and.
- 21:02Speaker 1: The wife said, listen, in light of all you have
- 21:05Speaker 1: gone through, cast God and die.
- 21:08Speaker 2: And Job said, no, why do you speak like one
- 21:10Speaker 2: of these foolish women. It says, all the days of
- 21:12Speaker 2: my appointed time, I will wait. And it was his
- 21:15Speaker 2: spirituality that brought back everything, the.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Children, the wealth, whatever it is that means.
- 21:23Speaker 2: If he lost his spirituality, the book of Job will
- 21:27Speaker 2: end with a painful tragedy.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 21:34Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what God has called you to do.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Taking time to invest in your spiritual life, and by
- 21:42Speaker 2: spirituality I mean your relationship with God enhanced by a
- 21:47Speaker 2: robust world life. I'm trying to be as simple and
- 21:51Speaker 2: pragmatic as possible your prayer life. The moment you begin
- 21:55Speaker 2: to rise and scaly leadership, you will find legitimate as
- 21:59Speaker 2: q to be prayerless, legitimate excuses to not give in
- 22:03Speaker 2: to You know, your.
- 22:05Speaker 1: World life and all of that.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It is your responsibility to work with the spirit of
- 22:10Speaker 2: God and keep reinventing systems that keep you spiritual.
- 22:14Speaker 1: As you grow.
- 22:16Speaker 2: You cannot use the model for your spiritual life that
- 22:19Speaker 2: you use five years ago. You were an employee then,
- 22:22Speaker 2: but now you are see or running a company with branches.
- 22:25Speaker 2: That model will not work. You need to stay with
- 22:28Speaker 2: God and redesign a model that is bespoke to your
- 22:32Speaker 2: life in light of what God is doing, so that
- 22:34Speaker 2: promotion does not become a cost to your life. There
- 22:39Speaker 2: are people the worst thing that happened to them was advancement.
- 22:43Speaker 2: They were better off in that state as soon as
- 22:46Speaker 2: you see. Because when you rise, you know this like
- 22:49Speaker 2: I do that. When you rise in life, in ministry,
- 22:52Speaker 2: in leadership, there are challenges that are tailor made for
- 22:56Speaker 2: every realm. As a businessman, you rise and you now
- 23:00Speaker 2: begin to meet colleagues from other parts of the world,
- 23:03Speaker 2: with their practices and their gods, and they.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Have no respect for what you believe.
- 23:07Speaker 2: In fact, they assume you are like them.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 23:13Speaker 2: So you got to celebrate the birthday of some CEOs somewhere,
- 23:18Speaker 2: maybe colleagues you just met, and you are shocked to
- 23:20Speaker 2: see what they do there, and they do it with
- 23:22Speaker 2: confidence based on the assumption that since you are also
- 23:26Speaker 2: a CEO, that was how you got there. It becomes
- 23:29Speaker 2: more difficult standing for Christ as you grow, because your
- 23:34Speaker 2: conviction will make you look stupid in the midst of
- 23:36Speaker 2: intelligent people and childish. In fact, you mean you don't drink.
- 23:42Speaker 2: How did you get here? You mean you don't do this?
- 23:45Speaker 2: You mean you are not in any occult group. You
- 23:47Speaker 2: are not paying homage to anything. There's one they can join.
- 23:51Speaker 2: They don't exactly kill, but they're nice people as funny
- 23:56Speaker 2: as what I'm saying is. You know I'm not lying.
- 24:01Speaker 1: This will meet up with you in ministry, it will
- 24:03Speaker 1: meet up with you in business, It will meet up
- 24:06Speaker 1: with you anywhere. That's why the Bible says, what shalite
- 24:09Speaker 1: profit a man? Ah?
- 24:12Speaker 2: If you are not up for profit, you can't make
- 24:13Speaker 2: that kind of temptation. What shal it profit a man
- 24:16Speaker 2: if he should turn the whole world and lose his soul?
- 24:20Speaker 1: Say spirituality For some of us.
- 24:24Speaker 2: The reason why we have been praying God, increase me,
- 24:27Speaker 2: expand my business. You have been weighed like the king
- 24:30Speaker 2: in the days of Daniel, and God has already seen
- 24:33Speaker 2: that if this anointing comes to this gentleman's life, it
- 24:37Speaker 2: will end up being a cost to you than a blessing,
- 24:40Speaker 2: because the level of stamina you need to build to
- 24:44Speaker 2: carry that anointing, carry that influence. There are people, if
- 24:48Speaker 2: you see and a lot of five hundred million or
- 24:50Speaker 2: one billion, you will waive everybody, including God.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 24:56Speaker 2: You say, I'm decongesting my destiny. I'm removing every body
- 25:00Speaker 2: and everything that is irrelevant, and God will be the
- 25:02Speaker 2: first to go.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Spirituality. Spirituality, and you.
- 25:12Speaker 2: See, you get to a point where when your basic
- 25:15Speaker 2: needs are met. You see in Africa, and I say
- 25:18Speaker 2: this respectfully, in Africa, the basis for the spiritual pursuit.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Of most people is hunger. Did you hear what I said? Hunger,
- 25:26Speaker 1: not genuine passion for God. Hunger.
- 25:29Speaker 2: If you are true, I mean, if you don't have
- 25:31Speaker 2: a house rent, there are courses pursuing you. You saw
- 25:34Speaker 2: what pursued your father and your mother. I mean, it
- 25:36Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense to run to God. But
- 25:40Speaker 2: by the time you build your house or a few estates,
- 25:43Speaker 2: business is scaling, life is fine, children are doing well.
- 25:47Speaker 2: You will look at your life and say, why do
- 25:50Speaker 2: I need? I mean, it does not make sense to
- 25:52Speaker 2: steal first, it does not make sense to still pray.
- 25:56Speaker 2: I mean, the church is flourishing, we have our property,
- 25:59Speaker 2: we have everything we need. What then, is the value
- 26:02Speaker 2: of seeking God in the midst of plenty? And many
- 26:05Speaker 2: people begin to decline. But once you have that covenant
- 26:11Speaker 2: of spirituality. No matter how you rise, you can still
- 26:14Speaker 2: return and say, God, that boy you found twenty years ago,
- 26:18Speaker 2: even though you have lifted him, are still returned, because
- 26:22Speaker 2: it says without me, ye can do nothing. I know
- 26:26Speaker 2: this is a leader session, but I'm starting because the
- 26:30Speaker 2: spirit of God is calling many of you to say,
- 26:33Speaker 2: live the issue of business first, Live the issue of
- 26:35Speaker 2: announting and ministry reviewd that altar. Like Elijah said, your
- 26:41Speaker 2: prayer life is not just bad, it's cut out completely your.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Word, studying life, everything has gone away.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Teaching you about finances and structure will only be adding
- 26:50Speaker 2: trouble to what is already there. The real issue now
- 26:53Speaker 2: is not to talk about businesses again or whatever. There
- 26:56Speaker 2: are many people now you are a man of God,
- 26:59Speaker 2: but what you need to hear is not ministry. What
- 27:02Speaker 2: you need to hear is relationship. God is saying, I've
- 27:05Speaker 2: been waiting where you left me five years ago, from
- 27:08Speaker 2: the day you traveled abroad for administration. You didn't return
- 27:11Speaker 2: to me again. I'm still waiting. I can't be that patient.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Does this make sense to anyone? Madam? From the day
- 27:22Speaker 1: you got married, you left me there.
- 27:25Speaker 2: While you were looking for a husband, you banged the
- 27:28Speaker 2: door of heaven morning after noon, night. Now the husband
- 27:34Speaker 2: has come, He said, Lord, thank you that they have trouble.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I will call on you listen.
- 27:42Speaker 2: If you think you will never be tempted along the
- 27:45Speaker 2: lines of your spiritual life, then you've not been a
- 27:48Speaker 2: leader enough.
- 27:49Speaker 1: There are things that.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Will happen in your life that the only thing you
- 27:52Speaker 2: have to hold on to is the God that you know.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Some put their trust in chariots, horses. Some put their
- 28:02Speaker 2: trust on anointing. I hope you know anointing can be
- 28:05Speaker 2: a demo to you, not to everybody. Yeah, the religiosity
- 28:10Speaker 2: of pursuing annointing beyond God can make it become a
- 28:14Speaker 2: demon to you. Preaching can become a demon to you
- 28:18Speaker 2: if it takes the place of God. Anything that tries
- 28:22Speaker 2: to steal the position of God in your life, no
- 28:25Speaker 2: matter how spirituality is, it can destroy you. I'm sharing
- 28:30Speaker 2: with you my heart this morning because behind the excellence
- 28:33Speaker 2: of the people that you see, it's not just the
- 28:36Speaker 2: mechanics of what they do, is the covenant of their.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Love for God.
- 28:41Speaker 3: You are the first, You are the string, You are
- 28:49Speaker 3: the huglave. Indeed, inside of me, you are the food, ads.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Fast you are provi.
- 29:05Speaker 3: For the journey of my life.
- 29:12Speaker 4: You are everything. Yes, you are everything.
- 29:25Speaker 2: You've heard me say. I'd rather give up ministry. Call
- 29:28Speaker 2: me a failure in ministry, no problem. I'd rather give
- 29:32Speaker 2: up coin on you a thousand times, give up invitations.
- 29:36Speaker 1: A thousand times.
- 29:37Speaker 2: But if I still have my relationship with Jesus, let
- 29:40Speaker 2: the world be shouting me a failure while heaving rejoices
- 29:43Speaker 2: over me.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I mean what I'm saying. This is not I'm not
- 29:49Speaker 1: a politician.
- 29:52Speaker 2: You must mean business with Jesus if you want to
- 29:55Speaker 2: see his hand. There are certain annoying things. No matter
- 29:59Speaker 2: how you pray, they will not come. They respond to
- 30:02Speaker 2: the purity of your desire. You must love God beyond ministry.
- 30:07Speaker 2: You must love God beyond money, praying and fasting. If
- 30:12Speaker 2: you are not careful, it can become a spiritual system
- 30:14Speaker 2: to bribe God, and God says, I'm not stupid. Even
- 30:18Speaker 2: though I design those systems. Those systems are only activated when.
- 30:22Speaker 1: They're engaged by a pure heart, a heart that truly
- 30:26Speaker 1: loves God. Allelujah.
- 30:30Speaker 2: I'm going to ask us to pray one minute before
- 30:32Speaker 2: I continue. Father, whatever has taken your place in my life,
- 30:38Speaker 2: I know that we need money. I know that we
- 30:41Speaker 2: need to scale in business. There are many of you.
- 30:44Speaker 2: I know that you're trusting God to increase your ministry.
- 30:47Speaker 1: You want God to increase your influence.
- 30:50Speaker 2: But I want you to cry before You're maker in
- 30:52Speaker 2: one minute. If you are not praying, it means you
- 30:55Speaker 2: are not a Christian. Pray from the depth of your heart.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Cast away You're going crowd and cry to your maker.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Say Lord, porch my heart, Puch my heart, poch my heart.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Someone pray, pray just for a minute.
- 31:11Speaker 1: You are the first. You are the stream. You are
- 31:19Speaker 1: the heart believe in deep inside of me. You are
- 31:27Speaker 1: the food that side as fast.
- 31:34Speaker 2: You are provitional for the journey of my life.
- 31:43Speaker 4: You are everything, Lord, are everything.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Alleluyah, he said.
- 32:07Speaker 2: And if I be lifted up from the earth, I
- 32:10Speaker 2: will draw all men.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Let me tell you the truth. There are many of us.
- 32:14Speaker 2: What we are seeking can only be found in the
- 32:17Speaker 2: presence of God. The Lord told me this. Many of
- 32:20Speaker 2: you have heard me say years ago. Is that son,
- 32:23Speaker 2: if you will let men see me, there is nothing
- 32:26Speaker 2: I would not give you. If you will let men
- 32:29Speaker 2: see me. It's not so much an issue of brilliance.
- 32:33Speaker 2: There is a place for intelligence. It's not so much
- 32:36Speaker 2: of skill.
- 32:38Speaker 1: That's why sometimes when you look at some of us,
- 32:40Speaker 1: we don't add upe.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Yet the results never stop because there is a mysterious
- 32:45Speaker 2: presence that brings completion.
- 32:48Speaker 1: You see that. Now you can.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Learn every salmon, you can learn every Greek and Hebrew word.
- 32:55Speaker 1: You can get every job of oil.
- 32:58Speaker 2: You cannot be sarcastic, but if something is wrong with
- 33:01Speaker 2: the genuineness of your love for God, you'll be surprised.
- 33:04Speaker 2: You will never find this thing you're looking for. And
- 33:09Speaker 2: don't say, my hown is I'm looking for money. I'm
- 33:11Speaker 2: not called to be a pastor. Those who are looking
- 33:14Speaker 2: for money should know God even more than preachers, because
- 33:19Speaker 2: the Bible shows us there's nobody calling preacher fool in
- 33:23Speaker 2: the Bible, but there is a man called a rich fool.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Are well learning?
- 33:34Speaker 2: So the invisible part of every structure is the foundation.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Back to my discussion. You don't see that one usually,
- 33:42Speaker 2: but that is what holds the building. And if the
- 33:45Speaker 2: foundation shan't be destroyed, he said, what are the righteous to?
- 33:49Speaker 2: So God is calling us number one to dig into
- 33:52Speaker 2: that foundation. Now, let me talk about building, because for
- 33:57Speaker 2: most of us, by God's grace.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I presume that God has helped us to a measure.
- 34:02Speaker 2: We're all in this journey stabilizing our spiritual life and
- 34:05Speaker 2: knowing God more. There is no exhaustion to the knowledge
- 34:08Speaker 2: of God. Will keep knowing Him even in heaven. Allelujah.
- 34:14Speaker 2: But now when it has to do with building structures,
- 34:16Speaker 2: I want to tell you a few things about systems
- 34:19Speaker 2: and structures, and please may request that we write.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Write it down.
- 34:38Speaker 2: A structure comes from the Latin word structura str c T.
- 34:45Speaker 2: You are a STRUCTURER and it means to fit together
- 34:50Speaker 2: or to build. The word structure comes from a Latin
- 34:54Speaker 2: word structurer. It means to fit together and to build.
- 35:03Speaker 2: It also means the way by which the parts of
- 35:07Speaker 2: a system are arranged unorganized, the way by which parts
- 35:15Speaker 2: of a system are arranged or organized.
- 35:24Speaker 1: You have that down, Please write this.
- 35:26Speaker 2: No growth process or result is sustainable until and unless
- 35:35Speaker 2: it is structured and systematized.
- 35:38Speaker 1: No growth process, no.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Results will be sustainable until and unless it is structured
- 35:47Speaker 2: and systematized. That means anything that does not have a
- 35:53Speaker 2: system and a structured builds into it has no sustainability.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Not your spiritual growth, not your leadership, anything that does
- 36:05Speaker 2: not have a structure or a.
- 36:07Speaker 1: System built to it.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Now look up, please, When God created man, the first man,
- 36:13Speaker 2: the first woman, he built a structure within that process
- 36:19Speaker 2: away together and from two people, there's about eight billion
- 36:25Speaker 2: people are counting. In spite of the fact that an
- 36:28Speaker 2: average of eight people die per second, is not depleted
- 36:31Speaker 2: the earth.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Because of the power.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Of systems and structures. There are more people being born
- 36:40Speaker 2: than people dying. Is the reason why the earth remains.
- 36:45Speaker 2: It takes less than a second to die, but it
- 36:48Speaker 2: takes nine months to be born. And yet because of
- 36:51Speaker 2: how powerful the structure is, the best rate far outweighs
- 36:55Speaker 2: the death rate. Can you imagine it doesn't take nine
- 36:58Speaker 2: months to die. A man stops breathing and that's it.
- 37:02Speaker 2: But when a woman is pregnant, from the time she
- 37:04Speaker 2: is confirmed pregnant, it will take at least nine months
- 37:08Speaker 2: plus or minus. And you would think because of that
- 37:11Speaker 2: disparity of one second to nyemonth, they will come.
- 37:15Speaker 1: There should be only ten people.
- 37:16Speaker 2: On head, and yet because of the power of systems
- 37:21Speaker 2: and structures, there is always really plenishing. You use the
- 37:26Speaker 2: same principle for your finances. You use the same principle
- 37:31Speaker 2: is that not the same principle. It takes you a
- 37:33Speaker 2: long time to gather, but you can spend or lose
- 37:36Speaker 2: in a moment. But because we have not brought structure
- 37:40Speaker 2: into it, the rate at which the resources are depleting
- 37:45Speaker 2: is by far greater than the rate at which the
- 37:48Speaker 2: income is coming. Hopefully round up with that or take
- 37:51Speaker 2: it in another session. But I'm just introducing structure for you. Hallelujah.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Do you know why you are able to walk from
- 37:58Speaker 2: one place to the other. Imagine if you could move
- 38:01Speaker 2: your leg just.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Two times in a day. That means you can choose
- 38:05Speaker 1: to move left or right. Once you move two times,
- 38:08Speaker 1: you have exhausted your quota for the day. No body
- 38:10Speaker 1: will move.
- 38:11Speaker 2: It is the ability a structure, a skeletal system. All
- 38:16Speaker 2: kinds of systems were built in Man and because of
- 38:20Speaker 2: those structures, we can move, we can talk, we can
- 38:23Speaker 2: do the things that we do.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Are we together? This body that.
- 38:27Speaker 2: You see is a message to all of us that
- 38:30Speaker 2: your body is a clue to your success.
- 38:33Speaker 1: The very body you are carrying.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Understanding how your body functions is the key to understanding
- 38:40Speaker 2: how anything excels. Because this body starts as a baby
- 38:45Speaker 2: body becomes a teenager body. Your business can be a
- 38:50Speaker 2: baby and become an adult to.
- 38:52Speaker 1: An elder your business.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Are you saying that now everything that happens to your organization.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Is already captured in your body.
- 39:00Speaker 2: And if you understand how the body grows, you understand
- 39:04Speaker 2: how ministries grow.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Whatever it is.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Now, imagine have you seen little children who try to
- 39:10Speaker 2: dress like their parents at age one or two?
- 39:13Speaker 1: The parents just laugh at.
- 39:14Speaker 2: Them and they know that even if they cry, that
- 39:16Speaker 2: prayer will not be answered. That is the same way
- 39:19Speaker 2: some prayers will not be answered because of where you are.
- 39:22Speaker 1: And while we are praying.
- 39:23Speaker 2: And shouting and saying God, I need to go on
- 39:25Speaker 2: air by this time, God says, I love you, but
- 39:28Speaker 2: you are so ignorant of your tags that will follow
- 39:31Speaker 2: you on your first broadcast. So I will keep you
- 39:33Speaker 2: like Moses until you are strong. Are you learning now? Yes,
- 39:42Speaker 2: this is very important. This is how God taught me.
- 39:46Speaker 2: When you understand the power of systems and structures. This mic,
- 39:50Speaker 2: you see, I do not need this mic does not
- 39:54Speaker 2: even know who is using it, It doesn't know my name.
- 39:57Speaker 2: And yet because of structures it is. And for every
- 40:01Speaker 2: time I engage the structure that makes it work. It
- 40:04Speaker 2: will work regardless what I'm wearing. If a terrorist comes
- 40:08Speaker 2: to hold the same mic, will it work?
- 40:11Speaker 1: Talk to me?
- 40:11Speaker 2: If a pastor holds this, will it walk. Another example agriculture.
- 40:17Speaker 2: The rise in your house now, ah, it came from
- 40:20Speaker 2: the earth, the beans, whatever you have. And if a
- 40:24Speaker 2: terrorist farms, will it grow? If a Christian farms, will
- 40:27Speaker 2: it grow? Because of the power of systems and structures,
- 40:38Speaker 2: write the following place. Please write this down. To systematize
- 40:51Speaker 2: means to make the outcome predictable by generating a formula
- 40:59Speaker 2: that governs that process. Please write it. Don't worry. I'll
- 41:03Speaker 2: tie up everything and you understand what I'm saying. To
- 41:05Speaker 2: systematize means to make the outcome predictable by generating a
- 41:13Speaker 2: formula that governs the process. To systematize anything means to
- 41:20Speaker 2: make the outcome the results predictable by generating a formula
- 41:25Speaker 2: that governs the process. Reproduction is predictable because there is
- 41:31Speaker 2: a formula.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Being born again is predictable.
- 41:34Speaker 2: A eure a bad person can be saved, an eqal
- 41:37Speaker 2: person can be saved?
- 41:38Speaker 1: Is that true?
- 41:39Speaker 2: A Latino person can be saved because there is a
- 41:42Speaker 2: system for salvation imagine if salvation of every believer depended
- 41:48Speaker 2: on meeting one man on earth. But there is a system.
- 41:53Speaker 2: A preacher can guide people into that system. Someone can
- 41:56Speaker 2: engage that system alone in a room somewhere, and whoever
- 42:01Speaker 2: calls upon the name of the Lord. That is the
- 42:04Speaker 2: system connected to salvation.
- 42:06Speaker 1: That is the reason why people are saved.
- 42:08Speaker 2: So someone can listen to my message, and I do
- 42:12Speaker 2: not know the person. Someone can listen following this conference now,
- 42:16Speaker 2: and the person engages that system connected to salvation and
- 42:20Speaker 2: he is saved immediately. There is a system connected to
- 42:26Speaker 2: healing to make it predictable, the hearing of faith, and
- 42:30Speaker 2: then the power of God is released.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Are we together? How about education? Look at this.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Is it possible that a doctor from say John Hopkins,
- 42:40Speaker 2: another doctor from say Oxford, another doctor from some prestigious
- 42:44Speaker 2: institution here, three of them can meet for the first
- 42:48Speaker 2: time at the theater they've never seen themselves, and yet
- 42:52Speaker 2: they don't doubt one another because of the power of systems.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Nobody turns and says, you are looking too short for
- 42:59Speaker 2: this surgery. Where did you say you're coming from? And
- 43:01Speaker 2: he says, I'm coming from Lois doesn't matter. Let me
- 43:04Speaker 2: look at your hands. What did you who taught you? No,
- 43:06Speaker 2: the courric column is greater than the lecturer. What makes
- 43:10Speaker 2: the listen? What makes a medical doctor in say Lasu
- 43:16Speaker 2: or Union Lag another person in maybe if somewhere there
- 43:21Speaker 2: they're coming together and they say, we're all doctors and
- 43:23Speaker 2: they hold their hands immediately.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Do you know why?
- 43:26Speaker 2: Because of the power of the system they were submitted to.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Systems are powerful. Someone can be filled with the Holy
- 43:34Speaker 2: Goos in London. Another person can be filed the Holy
- 43:37Speaker 2: Goes in Legos. Another person can be filed the Holy
- 43:40Speaker 2: Goes in China. All three of them will meet, and
- 43:43Speaker 2: when you say all of you praying tongues, they all
- 43:45Speaker 2: begin to praying tongues. There is a system.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Are we together now?
- 43:53Speaker 2: Most believers do not understand the power of systems. It
- 43:56Speaker 2: is the reason why our results are not predicted. I
- 44:00Speaker 2: hope God is speaking to someone. Now follow carefully. Systems
- 44:09Speaker 2: make it possible for everyone to experience a similar effect.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Please write, Systems make it possible for everyone to experience
- 44:21Speaker 2: a similar effect. You want to standardize anything, you must
- 44:27Speaker 2: systematize it. Systems make it possible for everyone to experience
- 44:33Speaker 2: a similar effect. Why do you go to certain restaurants
- 44:39Speaker 2: because they have created a system and they have standardized
- 44:43Speaker 2: everything when you go, say, for instance, to I was
- 44:47Speaker 2: talking with someone one time to ask why McDonald refused
- 44:51Speaker 2: to come to Nigeria, and the answer he gave me
- 44:53Speaker 2: was very interesting. They said they fear that their standards
- 44:57Speaker 2: will be compromised and that to affect their global brand
- 45:02Speaker 2: when they arrive. For that singular reason, they would rather
- 45:05Speaker 2: lose the millions of dollars and the billions potentially coming
- 45:09Speaker 2: to the largest nation in Africa.
- 45:11Speaker 1: This was just my discussion now with the person and
- 45:14Speaker 1: I said, my.
- 45:15Speaker 2: God, this they understand the power of systems, and just
- 45:19Speaker 2: because they suspect a system will be compromised, they are
- 45:23Speaker 2: willing to.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Lose money to preserve the system. Are we learning?
- 45:29Speaker 2: Why do you enter a bank in Legos or enter
- 45:33Speaker 2: that same bank in the Baden? Are you enter with
- 45:35Speaker 2: source confidence and you say I want to withdraw my
- 45:37Speaker 2: money regardless what building you enter. The buildings are not
- 45:41Speaker 2: the same, and yet you expect the same treatment. I
- 45:45Speaker 2: have an account with this because of the system. Any
- 45:49Speaker 2: structure that has that logo, you expect it to attend
- 45:53Speaker 2: to you the same way. Are we learning Now, this
- 45:56Speaker 2: is very powerful system. Everybody eats in a similar way
- 46:05Speaker 2: or the same way.
- 46:06Speaker 1: You go to toilets the same way.
- 46:08Speaker 2: That is the reason why businesses can build the technology
- 46:11Speaker 2: because all men relating a similar way. We're walking a
- 46:14Speaker 2: similar way, we're talking a similar way away together. So
- 46:17Speaker 2: what they're built for one will apply usually to all
- 46:21Speaker 2: or as many. This is the same principle use in
- 46:23Speaker 2: clothing us in the food industry used everywhere.
- 46:27Speaker 1: The seats you are seated, now, nobody's.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Seat is put inverted because of the nature of how
- 46:32Speaker 2: you are. All of us are the same, So it
- 46:34Speaker 2: doesn't matter what.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Seat you find. We can sit comfortably because.
- 46:38Speaker 2: We're humans made of the same the same system that
- 46:42Speaker 2: God used in somewhat learning. Now, systems, you want people
- 46:46Speaker 2: to experience the same thing. You have to systematize your process.
- 46:52Speaker 2: How do we do the things that we do? How
- 46:55Speaker 2: do we standardize the results? This is the power of systems.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Another thought on systems. Write it down please. Systems and
- 47:05Speaker 2: structures minimize biases and sentiments. Systems and structures minimize biases
- 47:13Speaker 2: and sentiments. When you want to build people holistically in ministry,
- 47:18Speaker 2: in your organization, when you introduce systems and structures. They
- 47:23Speaker 2: minimize biases and sentiments, gender biases, tribal biases. They are minimized,
- 47:30Speaker 2: maybe not avoided, but they are greatly minimized, so that
- 47:34Speaker 2: Merito Cristy can drive. You don't bring and say no,
- 47:37Speaker 2: I don't like you. You look back, or you look fair,
- 47:40Speaker 2: or it looks like you have the face of somebody
- 47:43Speaker 2: that looks like my enemy, and you punish somebody who
- 47:45Speaker 2: has no business suffering because of biases.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Write this down.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Systems and structures guarantee replication of results. Systems and structures
- 48:00Speaker 2: guarantee replication of results. That means doctr imospel.
- 48:06Speaker 1: One can reproduce himself.
- 48:08Speaker 2: There can be ten of him in terms of impact,
- 48:12Speaker 2: in terms of the prophetic. His uniqueness can be preserved,
- 48:15Speaker 2: but he can replicate himself. If you know this as
- 48:20Speaker 2: a leader, you will know that it's an error to
- 48:23Speaker 2: remain the only one of your kind after a certain
- 48:26Speaker 2: period within your organization. You must be able to replicate
- 48:30Speaker 2: yourself when you understand systems and structures. There's no such
- 48:35Speaker 2: thing that I'm so unique I cannot replicate myself is
- 48:38Speaker 2: a lie. Even Jesus replicated himself in all of us.
- 48:42Speaker 2: You can replicate yourself. People who come with different personalities,
- 48:47Speaker 2: but you can replicate yourself. That is why there are
- 48:49Speaker 2: many professors of medicine. There are many their personalities change
- 48:54Speaker 2: their tribe, their voices, their looks. But because of the
- 48:58Speaker 2: system they submitted themselves to, you can give all of
- 49:01Speaker 2: them that academic credential. Is somebody learning. This is very powerful.
- 49:08Speaker 2: Now write this down please. Systems and structures provide a basis.
- 49:14Speaker 2: I want you to write this one. Soon I'll stop
- 49:16Speaker 2: using my notes and I'll start talking. Systems and structures
- 49:22Speaker 2: provide a basis for commendation, rebuke, promotion, and emotion without biases.
- 49:32Speaker 2: Systems and structures provide a basis for commendation, a basis
- 49:39Speaker 2: for rebuke, a basis for promotion, a basis for emotion
- 49:47Speaker 2: without biases or emotional interference. When you do not have
- 49:53Speaker 2: or you do not run your ministry, your organization using
- 49:57Speaker 2: systems and structures, you will not have an accurate basis
- 50:01Speaker 2: for commendation, an accurate basis for promotion, an accurate.
- 50:06Speaker 1: Basis for demotion. Are we together an accurate basis for rebuke?
- 50:11Speaker 2: If you rebuke someone, whether in church, based on what
- 50:15Speaker 2: is it? Because you were angry with the person or
- 50:18Speaker 2: the person defaulted based on a reference.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Are you saying why most businesses don't drive.
- 50:23Speaker 2: In Africa Because you can have a personal vendata with
- 50:27Speaker 2: an individual, but once you work with systems and structures
- 50:31Speaker 2: you can shelve that a way. If the person deserves
- 50:34Speaker 2: commendation based on the ethics of your organization, then the
- 50:39Speaker 2: requisite commendation is mettered out to the person. If the
- 50:42Speaker 2: person deserves a rebuke, even if the person is your
- 50:44Speaker 2: blood broader, you take away biases.
- 50:49Speaker 1: The reason why many.
- 50:50Speaker 2: Organizations, including ministry, remain lopsided is that there is too
- 50:54Speaker 2: much emotional interference, so there are no standards. You cannot
- 50:59Speaker 2: defer at what point a man should be commended. You
- 51:02Speaker 2: cannot define at what point a man is said to
- 51:05Speaker 2: be diligent. You cannot define at what point the man
- 51:09Speaker 2: the same two people would do the same thing. One
- 51:12Speaker 2: is forgiving us if nothing happened, and the other one
- 51:15Speaker 2: is dealt with mesthlessly the moment there are double scandads.
- 51:18Speaker 2: The organization does not grow that way.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Are will learning.
- 51:26Speaker 2: As much as God loves every man, whoever refuses to
- 51:31Speaker 2: acknowledge the lordship of Jesus Christ to the point of death,
- 51:34Speaker 2: will go to hell.
- 51:35Speaker 1: That's what the Bible says.
- 51:37Speaker 2: We are his creation, but he has left us with
- 51:40Speaker 2: the choice, and he's bound himself by his integrity beyond
- 51:44Speaker 2: his emotion. Imagine if someone now went to hell and
- 51:49Speaker 2: God says, you know what, I've changed my mind, he
- 51:51Speaker 2: will still be lord of Nobody can judge him. But
- 51:55Speaker 2: you say, because of the way you smiled before you died,
- 51:58Speaker 2: I will bring you out from hell. No, anyone who
- 52:02Speaker 2: dies without Christ, whose name was not found in that
- 52:04Speaker 2: book that were cast into the lake of fire is
- 52:07Speaker 2: a standard that applies to all, no matter.
- 52:10Speaker 1: How nice and well looking you are. If you are
- 52:12Speaker 1: not saved and.
- 52:13Speaker 2: You die, you are lost forever. It's as simple as that.
- 52:17Speaker 2: It is based on systems and structures that we can
- 52:20Speaker 2: see that God is just. In Acts chapter ten, they said,
- 52:25Speaker 2: we see that God is no respect of any man,
- 52:27Speaker 2: but and in any territory, whoever will pay attention to
- 52:32Speaker 2: all of these things, that person will be blessed. Paraphrasing,
- 52:36Speaker 2: it's important. My life changed when I understood the power
- 52:40Speaker 2: of systems and the power of structures. Most people do
- 52:45Speaker 2: not pay attention to systems and structures and then they
- 52:49Speaker 2: find out that their lives don't go forward simply because
- 52:55Speaker 2: they are tied.
- 52:57Speaker 1: To doing ministry in a certain way.
- 53:00Speaker 2: Without structures, how do you expand your services as a minister,
- 53:06Speaker 2: as a business person.
- 53:07Speaker 1: You want to reach the whole globe.
- 53:09Speaker 2: It to take more than just being anointed or having
- 53:12Speaker 2: a message.
- 53:13Speaker 1: In this church.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Right now, as this conference is holding, there is a
- 53:17Speaker 2: media team, am I right. There is the protocol team
- 53:20Speaker 2: securing lives and property. There's that main team doing their thing.
- 53:25Speaker 2: There's the technical people working on this sound.
- 53:27Speaker 1: It is the.
- 53:30Speaker 2: Unifying of these systems and structures that produce this conference.
- 53:34Speaker 1: You're seeing.
- 53:35Speaker 2: When it was time for me to come up, the
- 53:37Speaker 2: media team had their thing to do. You saw the
- 53:39Speaker 2: way past or step back quietly and allowed them to
- 53:42Speaker 2: do their thing. Imagine if it stepped and said I
- 53:45Speaker 2: choose to change this thing or I'm going to be
- 53:48Speaker 2: the one who edit it now, it would disrupt the system.
- 53:52Speaker 2: Most people think because you are a leader, it means.
- 53:56Speaker 1: You have to man every process in the system.
- 53:59Speaker 2: It is a problem with in Africa because we are
- 54:01Speaker 2: used to deriving or not from worship. So once you
- 54:05Speaker 2: are not in charge, you believe that you will not
- 54:08Speaker 2: be recognized.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Have you seen people the.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Prayer band member is the head of technical is the
- 54:14Speaker 2: head of a sound. He's the head of this and
- 54:16Speaker 2: as wonderful as that is, you find out that a
- 54:18Speaker 2: lord does not go well. God gives a great vision
- 54:21Speaker 2: but is not executed because people do not understand the
- 54:25Speaker 2: limitations to allow systems function properly. I'm able to do
- 54:31Speaker 2: the things that I do as a man of God
- 54:33Speaker 2: because I limit my things myself to my function, my
- 54:37Speaker 2: ministerial and administrative function. There are things I don't dapple into.
- 54:42Speaker 2: I supervise based on administration, but I allow people who
- 54:46Speaker 2: are proficient in that area. My assignment is to synergize
- 54:50Speaker 2: the components and let them walk. Hear what I said,
- 54:54Speaker 2: when you bring people together, allow them to walk, stimulate creativity,
- 54:59Speaker 2: and give them human They will surprise you. If my
- 55:02Speaker 2: ministry becomes a reflection of my mindset, will not be
- 55:05Speaker 2: where we are today because there are many imputes greater than.
- 55:09Speaker 1: What my mindset would have produced.
- 55:11Speaker 2: It is a limitation that we have in Nigerian churches.
- 55:14Speaker 2: With all due respect African churches, the ministry is always
- 55:18Speaker 2: a reflection of the biases, the prejudices, the limitations or
- 55:23Speaker 2: the excellence of the leaders, and it ought not to
- 55:25Speaker 2: be so. Global brands today we give credit to the founders,
- 55:31Speaker 2: but they know and they have sold that idea to
- 55:33Speaker 2: everybody that this brand is the collective effort of everyone,
- 55:38Speaker 2: and they are able to acknowledge the various imputes. You
- 55:43Speaker 2: look at the facebooks and all those people. You think
- 55:46Speaker 2: everything came out of the creativity of the person who.
- 55:49Speaker 1: Represents the face of the business.
- 55:51Speaker 2: No, No, there are hidden people you have never seen,
- 55:56Speaker 2: whom their research and development departments, who are responsible for the.
- 56:01Speaker 1: Extensive innovations that come. This must be so.
- 56:04Speaker 2: In church, people celebrate Coinonia with all due respect and
- 56:08Speaker 2: celebrate all that is happening, and they do not know
- 56:11Speaker 2: that this man they're saying, only does a minute part
- 56:14Speaker 2: of that overall process, minute part. When you know this
- 56:21Speaker 2: as a leader, every time God causes men to honor you,
- 56:27Speaker 2: you spread the honor to everyone who was part of
- 56:29Speaker 2: the system.
- 56:30Speaker 1: That way, it motivates them to continue.
- 56:33Speaker 2: Because I wish I had time, I would have shown
- 56:35Speaker 2: you why most great visions fail, because when the honor
- 56:40Speaker 2: does not come from the head and reaches everyone. Imagine
- 56:44Speaker 2: if your leg wants to force itself to touch the
- 56:47Speaker 2: shower while you are buffing, and since I don't trust
- 56:50Speaker 2: that the head will be, we be sacrificial enough to
- 56:54Speaker 2: allow the water touch me. When you stand in front
- 56:56Speaker 2: of the shower, all the parts that cannot be directly
- 57:00Speaker 2: under the shower are patient and confident, knowing that the
- 57:03Speaker 2: body cheers about itself and everything to your feet.
- 57:08Speaker 1: It will reach it there now. I said all to
- 57:13Speaker 1: tell you.
- 57:14Speaker 2: Because especially for ministers, we focus on the areas that
- 57:19Speaker 2: we consider as spiritual animals.
- 57:21Speaker 1: Tell you, all.
- 57:22Speaker 2: Systems do not do the same thing, and they do
- 57:25Speaker 2: not carry the same implication in terms of the growth.
- 57:28Speaker 2: It is better for my sound to go bad than
- 57:31Speaker 2: for the prayer department to have a problem. You can
- 57:36Speaker 2: buy a speaker in one day, but resolving a loophole
- 57:40Speaker 2: that a spirit has had over that ministry will cause
- 57:43Speaker 2: a casualty that money cannot pay for. So you cannot
- 57:47Speaker 2: place equal value everywhere. There are departments that I supervise myself.
- 57:52Speaker 2: There is no yes, sir, I supervise myself. Once I
- 57:56Speaker 2: pick any signal, I'm visiting them. How are you able
- 57:59Speaker 2: to deal? Let what is going on here? Prays God
- 58:02Speaker 2: for everything we need to address this and that I
- 58:04Speaker 2: saw this.
- 58:05Speaker 1: I saw that. Let's pray. Are we together?
- 58:11Speaker 2: Imagine if I was the head of our media, you
- 58:13Speaker 2: will be a mess. You will not even hear about me,
- 58:16Speaker 2: complete mess.
- 58:17Speaker 1: You will not. I guarantee you you will not hear
- 58:19Speaker 1: about me.
- 58:23Speaker 2: Why am I teaching you this so that when God
- 58:26Speaker 2: tells you I'm going to make you great? Don't imagine
- 58:28Speaker 2: one man going to the nations. That is not a
- 58:31Speaker 2: wise vision. Cancel that vision and think, well, see one
- 58:34Speaker 2: man leading a vast army of people gifted and skilled
- 58:38Speaker 2: in every area. You see that now, so that when
- 58:42Speaker 2: God brings a prayer warrior to the ministry, you receive him.
- 58:45Speaker 2: When God brings a tech giant, you don't say no,
- 58:47Speaker 2: this is a prayer ministry. And the man says, since
- 58:50Speaker 2: you rejected me the day the prayer ministry.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Now God wants the nations to hear their voice. You
- 58:55Speaker 1: will find out that you need beyond.
- 58:56Speaker 2: The prayer warrior, the tech giant who God brought. Maybe
- 59:00Speaker 2: when God brought the person he was not very spiritual.
- 59:03Speaker 2: God brought the skill, so that you add spirituality to.
- 59:06Speaker 1: The skill, but you ignore the person.
- 59:10Speaker 2: There are people today in our ministry who came as cultists.
- 59:14Speaker 2: True story, they came as cultists, but some of them
- 59:18Speaker 2: are some of the mighty hands that we have today.
- 59:22Speaker 2: Leadership is the ability to harness, not just to coordinate.
- 59:28Speaker 2: You know what it means to herness to see potential.
- 59:31Speaker 2: To look at someone and say, this lady looks tobborn,
- 59:35Speaker 2: but I can see that there is a mighty prayer
- 59:38Speaker 2: warrior in this lady. This guy looks like he's emotionally imbalanced,
- 59:42Speaker 2: but he looks like he's going to be the most
- 59:44Speaker 2: loyal son that would have come out from this ministry.
- 59:47Speaker 1: Any leader that does not have the.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Ability to discern you would throw good people because you
- 59:53Speaker 2: cannot see them.
- 59:54Speaker 1: And there are people who will see someone.
- 59:56Speaker 2: Saying yes sir, and say no in the next five
- 59:58Speaker 2: years this person who costs me paid.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: You don't have to be prophetic. You can train.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: Yourself with the spirit and sustained that ability. There are people,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: the ones who call great business people today. They have
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: an uncanny ability to pick talents.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Before they image.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: You don't bring somebody when he has arrived and want
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: to give in peanuts.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: That would be too much bodied.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Most leaders have the convenience and the luxury of versatility
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: of gifted people today because they saw them before they
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: became and once they image today there is one ministry
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: and now will mention it because I'm saying something honorable.
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: They are CCG. You see, you look at the quality
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: of people there. There is nothing today that the geo
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: ones who achieve that there is nobody. There are few
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: people who got there made the grace made them so
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: they can run billions of projects without paying anything because
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: the people they would have paid, they are loyalty and
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: his father who has already paid for it. Listen, oh dear,
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: when I say this, listen, I've not spoken about finances,
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: but you will be learning that if you buy everything
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: with money, wisdom is far from your life. A time
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: will come when you will see yourself doing great things
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: projects to the mult time, millions and billions and people
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: who don't know where it's coming from. You see your
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: diligence and your keenness or spirit, the ability to identify
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: great minds and invest in them before they rise.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: You are already paying. That is an investment.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Allelujah again my example. If that is your lands here
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: now in Legos and says I don't have a verge
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: to go to the island.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: It's not rent.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: Somebody who owns a car company is his son. So
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: the person who not say use it and give me
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: back the person I've been praying for an opportunity to
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: give you that car. So somebody just has a bullet
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: proof cart of three hundred million in a moment and
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: you are wondering, and in your mind you are thinking,
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: he saved business. You know, it is not always about transaction,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: but it is about investment. Most times when we think finances,
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: I'm just trying to manage and deal at least taught
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: finances before we're over My time is not Finance is
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: not always about transaction, but it's about investment. In a
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: few years from now, I believe there are people who
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: come and meet personal says sir. For every impact conference.
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: All I need to know just write the budget for
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: me because you have raised me. It is the pheltic
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: word that came from you. You already have the heart,
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: so God can give you the resources and someone can
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: walk up and say, ah, pastor, you are doing projects
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: to the billions, just like that. When I saw him,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: I was teasing him at the office. I say, yeah,
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: you are looking never fresh. What is the secret in
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: the multitude of men, not multitude of ideas. In the
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: multitude of men is a king's honor. Can you spend
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: me five minutes to say one or two things about finances?
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Did you learn anything? This man is lucky. You see
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: how lucky people are now in Africa.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: We don't have respect for the sacrifice of people.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: Once you see God lifted people a doctor Elmo's fine, Well,
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: great man, I'm sure.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: It's just lucky. Let me just professy to somebody.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: No, this training is helping us to see that behind
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: everything that works, it's a central intelligence system, even though
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: grace comes on it. But nothing works sustainably by luck.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Please settle that if this is the only message you
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: carry here, that nothing works sustainably by luck.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: This guy. God just gifted the guy or the lady
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: a nice voice.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: But go out and watch what the person did with
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: a nice voice, the trainings and all of that. Somebody
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: sent me a humorous text one time I said that
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: I'm lucky. I met Jesus, and Jesus imparted light on
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: me and say, you need to come and see what
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: I do with that light when you are sleeping. I
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: am what I am by the grace of God, he says,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: But this grace was not showered on me in that
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: I labored more than you are.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: Behind. Everything that works is a.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Central intelligence system. Grace comes on it ministry that works.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: I learned this because I did not have the privilege
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: of learning administration. All the people we had who were
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: mentoring in our lives, they were sincere people. But the
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: context of ministry from the environment where I came from
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: did not bring.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: This versatility, and I had to outsource.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: Let me tell you this. For someone listening, God is saying,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: kill those excuses. Now, don't say my father was not
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: a CEO. There is a CEO somewhere. You can humble yourself.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Go and in turn there refuse to collect salary. Collect
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: what is greater than salary. My respectfully refer you to
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: my message redefining inheritance. I teach you on five things
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: that qualify to be called inheritance.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: The first is a man's conviction.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: You have not received anything from a man if you
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: don't receive his conviction.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: The conviction of a man is the greatest inheritance. You
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: can receive.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Money and material things is the least the fifth of them.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: It's inheritance, his convictions, his name, his.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Relationships, Allelujah, and up till today, I continue to learn.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: I'm a student of knowledge. I admit the areas I
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: do not know. When God opened our ministry to an
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: international scale.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: I needed to learn the ethics. You don't go to
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: another nation and do ministry the way you're doing in
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Nigeria first or arrestue number one.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Because where we compromise on many things here and gost
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: cod free. But once you are outside there is a
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: lot of meticulousness, and that one is not just the
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: issue of prayer and firsting. There is an exact intelligence
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: that comes do it. How do you raise people? How
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: do you train people? Let me stimulate your mind for
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: one minute as we just leave this area. How do
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: you build teams? How do you build a strong pastoral team?
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: Do you have a system for raising songs? Or do
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: you just raise people and keep random picking who is
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: getting more anointed and say you look serious?
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Come? How do you scan that dies raising people?
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: How do you guarantee any product that comes out from you,
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: whether spiritually all the rest. If you are in a
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: ministry and there are five people you are raised, can
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: you guarantee consistency of character? Can you guarantee consistency of delivery?
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Is there something exact you are teaching them or you
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: are just hoping they all become that you claim ownership
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: of their success. There are trainings every once in a world.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: There is no facet of our ministry that outgrows training.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: No, not me, not anyone. You see.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: There are periodic retreats where exact things are taught. There
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: are a few questions every organization was asking creating systems.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: I don't have the time. Why do we exist? How
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: do we behave You must know the modus operandi that
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: governs that ministry.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: If a pastor comes under this ministry and he's preaching
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: and his teaching, there are behavioral patterns that are consistent
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: with the vision, so that you do not have everybody
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: just coming to do everything.
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: You see that now I know there is order in
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: this charge.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: So if I'm preaching and you rise up and you
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: want to profess, I will ask you to sit down.
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: It is it doesn't matter what God is telling you.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: It's inconsistent with the modus operandi.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: Are we together now?
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: So there's no chaos? You don't stand up and then
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: just shaut know. If I'm preaching that you hold money
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: and throw it to me, I'll ask you to come
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: and pick it and keep it. You can practice somewhere,
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: but there is order. If you want to sow a
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: sit there is a way to be done. First calling
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: Turns fourteen forty that all things be done descently and
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: in order.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: Listen. Do not allow time and trends.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: To create the patterns that you run your ministry or
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: you run your organization with, you will get into trouble.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: What are they now doing? Let's incorporate it. That is dangerous.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: There are things you can add, but there are foundational
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: values that define who you are. If you lose it
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: in business and in corporate life, we call it your
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: corporate identity.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: This is what defines you.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: You don't go to NMPC for treatment from malaria. No,
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: NMPC is not a hospital. You don't go to Uni
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: Lag to swell your car. They are so designed with
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: the corporate identity. The identity is what attracts the people.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: You are looking. Are we together now?
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: Before we left a Budja was asking my people one
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: of the you know the lounge, I said, why is
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: there no restaurant in this place.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: And then one just told me said, they say a restaurant.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Your boy is hidden.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: I say, you see now, God has called you into
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: a healing ministry. Have you designed and branded everything you
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: do such that those who need your grace know where
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: to find you? Or are you just assuming in gathering
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: is a function of intelligence plus grace.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Noah prepared the ak. God brought the animals.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: You don't bring the animals to chew while you are
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: trying to prepare the ac No there are many preachers.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: Those who need them do not know where to find them. Unfortunately,
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: social media is not where they will find you. You
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: have to brand your impact by limiting your activities and
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: channeling your strying to project the grace God has given you.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: This is a profit ministry.
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Anybody who comes here and knows there are many aspects.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: Your pastor is a great teacher, He's a great man,
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: great pastor, But one thing that strikes him out is
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: that prophetic grace so he can stand in the midst
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: of thirty men of God and is the one thing
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: that brands him out. Most of us are losing our
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: identity trying to do what brings everybody. There are things
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: I will never do. It's not part of what makes
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: me me. It is good, but I will not do it.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: It is unnecessary. As far as selling the spiritual value God.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Has given me his concern. Are you learning now?
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: So you have a restaurant, and your restaurant looks like
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: a petrol station. How do I come there to eat?
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: There is nothing there that calls my attention. You are
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: a great schila with great grace, but there is nothing
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: around your life, your teachings.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Your persona, there.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Is nothing around you that sells that value.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: When Jesus arrived, his manifesto was clear.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: I've come from heaven to bring reconciliation, and for the
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: rest of my stay I will Sir John, advocating the
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: Father's agenda, He stood up for to read in Luke
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: chapter four, and they brought to him the scroll of Asias,
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: and without missing words, he said, the spirit of the
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: Lord is upon me, recited the manifesto of his arrival,
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: and from that time there was no distraction whatsoever. There
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: were many wonderful things Jesus would have done, but it
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: was limited to what branded him. Men do not buy products,
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: they buy perceptions.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: They buy perceptions.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: That is the reason why people can buy things that
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: are not profitable to them, but because it carried a
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: perception of value. If I carry a particular drink and
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: I peel away what they call it now, the rap,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: and I tell you to buy it at that amount,
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: you will not buy it again just because I removed
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: something for someone. God is telling you go back and
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: put your ministry, your organization in order, define your activities.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: Does it reflect your call?
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: If you are meeting me for the first time, what
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: can you say about me? It doesn't matter whether you
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: meet me in a wedding ceremony, in a burial.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: Or on stage.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: Everything around me should speak to what I represent.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: So if you are a tailor and what you are
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: wearing is not correct, and you are saying God knows,
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: it's only God that knows you're a good tailor. Those
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: who need you do not know you are a good tailor.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: It is your assignment to make them know. I'm sorry,
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: but I hope I'm not wasting your time.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: You must be in defense. The Bible calls everybody must
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: be a fanatic of their vision what they are called
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: to do. When you come for coynonia, there are certain
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: things you must experience from the gate, the atmosphere, the ambience,
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: the way the service was designed. It was designed to
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: do specific things, not everything.
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: Specific things and rating whether we have done well or not.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: It's number one based on the truthfulness and the spirituality
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: of the impact, or number two the compliancy and the consistency.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: So if I rebuke someone as a worker, I'm rebuking
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: the person with respect to the standard created.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Are we together? Now?
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: If you are supposed to be hospitable, are you default?
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: You any rebuke for yourself. It doesn't matter whether I
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: love you or not, because you have defaulted.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: There is a reference.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: Many parents, with all due respect, do not have a
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: system for training their children. They just discover one loves God,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: another one is a criminal, another one is less ass
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: fair about the things of God, and then they just
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: lay claim. There was no system for prayer, There was
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: no system for Bible study.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Every time they call for prayer is an emergency.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Either that this money is locked up somewhere and he
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: wants the thing to come down first, then an emergency
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: prayer is called.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: So the children do not know that prayer is.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: Part of the growth process of an individual versus a family.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Were right from infancy. The children are trained.
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: A system supervised by the father himself. The children may
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: not know what they are doing, but they are being
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: immersed in the system. Train up a child in the
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: way he should go. So the first thing you need
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: is to put together the way he should go. Then
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: you'll bring the child into that system away together.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: I will never run anything by luck.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: When God beg and to grant us grades to hold
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: conferences across the globe, I went to settle down to
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: study what models.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: Are available for an exceptional conference.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: How do you gather tens of thousands of people across
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: several nations and you are here right now with all
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: your respect. Whilst we're here, there's preparation going for all
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: of our conferences in US, Canada, UK, all at the
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: same time, and have not traveled to one see anything
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: the power of systems. The first day I will be
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: entering that auditorium will be the day of the conference,
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: and yet I have.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Confidence that nothing will fail. That's how powerful systems are.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: Otherwise, asay a man of God, you would die of
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: heart attack. You will suspect everybody and say, okay, that
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: ten thousand that was hour will show it arrive. Let
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: me see you don't have that energy. Twenty four hours
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: was given to do what is pro destiny. You cannot
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: be involved doing every body's assignment the power of systems.
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: How do you get people to do what you are doing?
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: If God gives you an assignment now to go and
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: establish a hospital in your village, do you.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: Understand the system to build it?
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: And where you do not know the system? Do you
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: have the relationships you can leverage on? Because relationships are
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: part of system building. You are as powerful as the
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: relationships that support you. No nation fights without verifying your allies.
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: You see that now, even America, as one of the
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: most powerful nations. Before they fight, they have to verify
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: that their allies will stand with them. Let me give
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: you three assignments. Number one, go and study. Define the
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: area God has called you. Define it, don't assume. Don't
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: say I've been called to preach the gospel. You are right,
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: but you are wrong. The Great Commission is everybody's assignment.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: It's not unique to you. Define what part of that
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: great commission was given to you?
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Define it.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Number two, build straategic relationships that become.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: Investments for your advancement.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: If you do not know how to do anything at
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: all in this life. Spend the remaining part of this
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: year building strategic relationships.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Who likes you matters.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: You've heard me say it. In this kingdom. Who hates
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: you does not matter, but who likes you matters. Even
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: Satan is not hated by everybody. There are people who
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: like Satan. Terrorists have wives.
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: Hello.
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: So if everybody hates you, there is a unique problem
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: with you. God design is such that everybody cannot hate you.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: The devil as the devil is loved by people not
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: in ignorance. Jesus as loving and compassionate, is hated by others.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: Don't mind those who hate you, or pray that the
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: right people like you, because one person who loves you
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: can hold your hand and distill knowledge, knowledge that he
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: spent ten years. I have benefited from the intelligence and
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: the sacrifice and the scars of people. In ten minutes,
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: I receive knowledge that define the next decade of my life.
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: And in ministry. Let me ask you a question.
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: Is there somebody in your life today who can be
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: there for you when you need them, without you begging them,
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: without you buying them, without you manipulating them. Does someone
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: love you enough to think your life is worth their committer,
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: their attention. If the answer is no, let this be
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: your project. From this leader's training, you can build your
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: product and be alone. You will still fail. You need men.
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: Business is about men. Everything is about men. Transactions is
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: about men. Chill every man on earth, open all the
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: banks and the safe. The money will do you no good.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: What gives value to money is men. When I learn this,
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: I stop wasting my time on things. You are as powerful,
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: not as the things you acquire, but the men who
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: stand with you.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: It is men that give value to things. Business man,
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: let me remind you again, it is men that give
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: value to things.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: One man can endorse your business, and beyond your mental capacity,
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: you will rise in an unfair way.
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: It will be clear. And Africa is so grace because
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: we are a people who value relationships. One man can
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: tell you help this person, and even though you don't
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: know the person, on account of that one person, you
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: can lift that person. Truly, in Africa, the race is
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: not to the swift, the battle is not to the strong. Allelujah.
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: I have reason today, not just because of grace. It's
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: been a.
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: Product of the endorsement, the good will of many strategic
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: and sincere people. The gates of certain nations were opened
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: at an executive level because of who introduced me to
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: the nation. Not just because before I was introduced to
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: those nations people who were listening to me, but because
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: of the caliber.
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: The people who introduced me.
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: I came into those nations with honor and with grace.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: It does not just matter what you sell. It matters
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: who speaks for you. It matters who speaks for you.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: Matters who speaks for you.
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: You see that there are so many things to say.
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: My apologies. There are two ways to prosper financially.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Let me wrap up there, and I do not downplay
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: the intelligence of the vast resources business resources.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: We have in this place.
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: There are people who are graced and gifted in that
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: capacity beyond what.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: I will know.
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: So I do not claim to speak from a standpoint
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: of intellectual mastery. But I can tell you that there
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: are a few things that when you handle the results
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: show just two kids. And then we wrap up for now.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: This money thing has caused a lot of problems for people.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: There are people who are depressed today. Money made them.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: So there are people who have lied to their wives
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: and husbands today. Money made them. So there are people
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: today who are going to hell. Money is what is
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: escorting them to hell. There are many programs of the
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: kingdom today that cannot thrive because of money. Only God
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: knows what it costs to put a conference like this together.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: But privilege of leadership and what I do. Sometimes I
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: nod my head and I say, any man that God
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: does not help, you will either compromise or you will die.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: That is the truth I'm telling you with biblical honesty.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: There are certain helps.
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: If you don't receive from God, you will either compromise
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: at the detriment of your integrity or you'll be on
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: your way to health. Lack of money will make you
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: do three things. You will steal, You will lie. Stealing
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: is related to poverty. Lying is related to poverty. Away together,
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: you will steal, you will lie. There are many other
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: things you will worry. You compromise on your integrity and
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: do it again and again. When God wants to increase
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: a man, God does not give the man ideas.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: First. God helps the man to understand his ways. I
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: just spoke to you about the power of systems.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: A great and loving God will not put inhabitants in
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: the earth and allow people to free lands their way
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: into abundance. That does not look like a God of love.
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: There must be a system that has been put in place.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: Please listen to me. We're rapping up. My life would
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: change in two thousand and seven when by a number
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: of visions, God granted me an encounter and I began
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: to study on finances, even relating to my life and
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: relating to ministry, because I didn't want to do ministry
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: telling lies, manipulating people. And I knew the kind of
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: call God had given me. And this call would require
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: a lot of money, a lot of money, a lot
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: of money. Ladies and gentlemen, you have no idea how
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: much an average past or spends running one service.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: You get into doing projects with the millions and the billions,
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: and your integrity should be kept and you are not
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: supposed to harassp me. Don't keep quiet over the issue
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: of money, being open about it and lend it.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: Don't live in denial.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: You will pay the price. You live in denial, It
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: will catch up with you one day. I guarantee you,
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: except you don't love Jesus, one day to catch up
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: with you. And when we talk about wealth with respect
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: to the kingdom, we're not just talking of having your house,
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: your car. No, yourself is too small for that agenda.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: The purposes of God is bigger than an individual self.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: We're talking of being empowered for the purpose of the kingdom. Allelujah.
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: There are two ways money comes. Number one value.
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: Value.
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: Every time you see money come into the life of
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: a man, it comes in honor to value.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Value that is needed and useful.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: Please write that down. There are many people who believe
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: they are valuable. If I don't need what you carry,
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: I will not pay you for it, even though what
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: you are carry is important. It must be important to me.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: Your value must not just be available, it must be
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: needed and useful within the context of a civilization. Value.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: Number two favor. If you don't believe in favor, good luck.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: I don't have much to tell you. I'll meet you
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: after ten years of your life and leadership, and I'll
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: be willing to guide you back to repentance as you
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: rediscover the hash reality of living in today's world without
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: the favor of God.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: There are some things value cannot do. It takes favor.
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: When God wants to accelerate you. He connects Lot to Abraham.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: Lot was not a business man, He just was connected
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: to a man God was blessing. There are many ways
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: to prosper. You can prosper of transacting your value, but
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: you can prosper of the favor that comes through relationships.
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: There are many dynamics suite that may not be discussed here,
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: but it is sufficient for you to know that if
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: you ever taught your pocket and it is empty, if
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: you ever taught your account and it is empty.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: Let me diagnose it for you.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Number one, your value is not being needed and useful,
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: or you are not transacting it intelligently to a targeted
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: consumer base. This is what we call business. Business is
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: not just the act of selling. Business is the art
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: of selling to those who can recognize, appreciate, and reward
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: that value. Most people say business is about selling. I
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: don't agree. Well, I agree, but I disagree. Not everybody
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: has what it takes to appreciate.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: The value you carry.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: If I'm not hungry and you are selling food, your
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: food is right, or you will still be poor. With
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: respect to my patronage, your value being needed and useful
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: to me, I must be willing to recognize.
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: This is why I'm.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: Going to pray a prayer for you as we wrap up,
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: that God will relocate you to those who have the
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: eyes to see what you carry. There are many of
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: you who are gifted, but your audience is a wrong audience.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: You are shouting to people who have no person. It
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: is a terrible thing to be in the midst of
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: people who have no recognition of what you carry. Shame
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: and disgrace and dishonor is what trails you, even though
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: you are gifted. Joseph interpreted three people's dreams. Two of
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: them did not have the power to help him. But
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: when the King dreamt, the same man with the same
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: gift became a prime minister. It matters who you interpret
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: whose dream you're interpreting. Many of you are selling great things,
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: but to people who only have the ability to admire
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: what you carry, but not to reward you. This is
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: one thing God helped me do, and it is the
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: spirit of God who guides you. There are many preachers today.
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: Some of you sit that here. If the right people here,
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: you're someone you will never be where you are again.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: I have met preachers, I have met prophets, I have
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: met great people in my life, and sometimes when I
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: listen to them out of compassion, I say, my God,
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: why is the world not here in this person. I
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: have met musictions, I have met worshiped ministers. Now, by
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: God's grace, I've met a lot of people, but I've
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: met some you do not know. And when they sank,
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: I was almost saying, look, let me carry you and
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: come and tell the world listen to this.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: Person, And yet they're still there.
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: The graceful visibility is when God puts you to the
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: right audience. Listen to me, because I'm going to speak
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: it to your life. There are many gifted people today.
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: They should not beg with the kind of value they carry.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: The right people I know and of God who are
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: being helped by God today because God sent them to
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: sincere people who became sons of consolation. They helped them
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: and communicated such spiritual value.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: And the people say, you assignment is my assignment.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: And single handedly there is of that burden of pain,
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: and the people can focus on serving God. My life
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: today is a product of the help of many people.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: The help of many people. God brought strack tagic people
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: to my life. God placed an audience before me by
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: his grace and by his spirit that when they heard me,
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: they said, this is the person who are willing to
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: invest our lives over.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: O. Rest on me. Oh rest on me.
- 1:30:53Speaker 5: Oh, rest on me, spirit of wisdom.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: Rest on me. Oh, rest on me. Oh rest on me.
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: Oh, rest on me, Spirit of wisdom.
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: Allelujah. Let me speak over your life. If you're a businessman, here,
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: please listen and open up your heart. We do these
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: things as touching the grace that God has provided. You're
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: a man of God. God is helping do ministry with integrity.
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: Don't get into compromises just because you are looking for advancement.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: Likes follows. Leave all those things and stay with God.
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: Learn some of the things you've learned now.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: If there is anything I want you to leave this
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: place with is the value of strategic relationships.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Ah.
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: My spirit is boiling with some things I would have
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: wanted you to hear.
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: When no rise by luck, there are things when you
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: handle there is nothing the.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: Devil can do about it. I want you to believe me.
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: You see, the grace to make it happen comes from God.
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: But building the intelligence that justifies the graces your assignment.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: While you are waiting for the grace to arrive. Your
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: assignment is to build the mentality and the intelligence. The
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: value of the annointing is when it comes upon a
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: mind that is transformed. When the annointing does not come
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: upon a transformed mind, it loses its potency.
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: In the presence of a mind that is ill transformed.
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: This is the reason why impartation only has value when
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: the word pre sets it. It corrects your understanding. Then
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: the grace can rest. Now a good job would have
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: been done. It is not a very difficult thing to rise.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: I would tell you sincerely.
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: The Bible says the labor of the fool weary at
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: every one of them because you know it not how
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: to go to the city. This finance thing, you see,
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: there is a way out of it. I want you
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: to listen to me without compromise. There is a way
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: out of it. If you are guessing, you are wrong.
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: You don't guess how to grow, You don't guess how
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: to give beth.
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: You don't guess how to treat a patient.
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: There are people call consultants as have had that as
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: the human body looks. Science has been able to bring
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: a level of predictability to treatment. They use robot Nicks
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: now to do surgeries. That is how accurate it can be.
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: Once upon a time people would just say, well, let's
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: just if God brings a boy or God brings a girl.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: But now Sien has gone so much. There is gender selection,
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: there is gene selection. Science has demonstified some of the
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: things that we just left all to the spirit realm,
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: your life can be that predictable. The haziness around the
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: subject of finances because there are few people who have
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: studied it. The whole finance is full of arrogance. Is
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: the reason why there is no learning. Because everybody is
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: claiming once you can eat, people believe they're prosperous. No prosperity,
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: genuine blessing is more than the ability to eat or
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: having a few millions in your account. There is a
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: dynamic that when you understand you can transfer to your children.
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: You see, so the disinterest and then because of the
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: abuses unfortunately that have happened around the body of Christ,
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: exaggerations leading to manipulations canality. So in order to manage it,
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: there are people who just threw away the subject completely.
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: It is wrong.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Try away these our children's children will suffer. I tell
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: you this, I made up my mind that some things
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: to stop from me. Forever I have served God better
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: been helped by God financially than otherwise, because I have
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: the convenience to do many things.
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: It is easy to remain with.
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: Integrity when you have the resources to defend your convictions.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: When you do not have the resources to defend your convictions,
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: you will compromise.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: Because you are the messy of systems and structures, you.
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: Can stand even if you are alone the resources. The
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: way withou to defend your love for Jesus is there
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: place I want you to play. One prayer further is
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: time to rise. It's time to rise in ministry. While
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: you are praying, I like you to see your ministry,
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: see your business shifting to another level, not by luck,
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: not by chance, upon the abbond dance of light.
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: Please pray, whether you are.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: Just starting ministry, business leadership, whether God has strengthened you
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: to a measure, there is always room for us to rise. Hanata,
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: take a minute. We're wrapping up. I assure you this
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: experience is worth your time. What your sacrifice.
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name, please look at me.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: Do you think you are going to be happier, and
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: you will and you will be a better Christian if
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: you go forward, be honest.
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: Do you think so?
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: Do you think that when you are able to impact
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: more people for Jesus, Whether in business or ministry. Psychologists
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: teach us that the singular reason for happiness is progress.
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: That people only feel happy and fulfill to the degree
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: to which they feel that they're making constructive advancement. Is
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: the reason why we hate delay and stagnation, because it's
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: a statement from your destiny to you that you are
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: not moving forward. Anything you keep in one place starts dying.
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: Is that true?
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: Everything that has kept you down that will not allow
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: you to make progress. I stand in partnership with the
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: grace upon God's profit in this house and in the
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, I
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: shift you to a new level.
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: In ministry. I shift you to a new level in business.
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: I shift you to a new.
- 1:37:50Speaker 6: Level by the power of the Holy Ghost in the
- 1:37:54Speaker 6: name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: Hear me.
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: Everything that has a nitted your destiny. You're a man
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: of God who came here. You are sincere, but you've
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: exhausted your knowledge and nothing is working not increasing membership,
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: not word impact, not results coming from ministry. I strengthen
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: your hands by the spirit from tonight in the.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: Name of Jesus Christ.
- 1:38:20Speaker 6: May you rise and begin to do much for the kingdom.
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: Year me.
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: Every business here that is dying is in need of
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: a relationship beyond an idea. Did you hear what I said?
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: Every business that is not doing well? Your bailout system
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: is not just an idea. Ideas are at the messy
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: of the men that supports and promote them.
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: Ideas are useless if it's alone.
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: The same way the seed is useless in the man
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: until the woman comes. That is when fertilization happens, and
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: the woman's womb is.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: Useless until it takes a union.
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: Be fruitful means the relations Nothing is fruitful in isolation.
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: Therefore, I pray for you the.
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: Strategic relationships that need to connect to your vision in
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: this season, for your growth and for your acceleration.
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: May it rest upon you now. May God connect you
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: to strategic people.
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: Strat touched people in Legos, Strat touched people in Nigeria,
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: Strat touching.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: People across the globe. In the name of Jesus, Year Me,
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: everyone who has spoken to the ears of your helpers
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: and has made them to turn against you, because before
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: you arrive your helpers they told them something rich Cadi
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: kapparatus siata. I stand by the spirit of the.
- 1:39:48Speaker 6: Living God, and I pray may the Lord turn the
- 1:39:51Speaker 6: heart of your helpers towards you.
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: Turn the hearts of your helpers towards you. I'm praying
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: for everybody, but this is particularly for ministers of the gospel. Listen,
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: we need help. I pray for someone here.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: You are trusting God for help financial pillers that stand
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: with you because you want to keep the integrity of
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: the faith. I cry onto the God of my covenant
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: that in the name that is above all names, May
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: God raise stract teaching people to stand with you, struct
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: touching people to stand by you, struct touching beple to
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: stand for you.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Allelulia.
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: It is valuable to live a rewarded life, not a
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: life whose value is admired.
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: You need to live a rewarded life.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: To be rewarded means to be compensated for the value
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: you dispense, whether that value is sold or it is
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: given freely. Like preaching, we thrive when our value is rewarded.
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: I live a rewarded life, and I am in doing that.
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: I don't serve God because of money, but the fact
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: that someone can be blessed by your spiritual value and
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: can communicate benevolence to you. It becomes a consolation to
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: your loving God. When you spend time pray, you know
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: you are not wasting. Your time is bringing all kinds
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: of benefits, including supplies.
